Chapter 326 The Generous Goblin Wizard
The next day, early in the morning.
In the cemetery in the Upper Town of Waterfall Town.
"Go forward in the dark, walking your own pilgrimage road."
Thorne looked at the tomb that had just been piled up in front of him, and the words carved on the tombstone, and bowed in salute.
Then he stood there in silence for a long time, and finally said in a calm tone, "May your soul rest in peace, Dark Elf Karlock... Teacher."
After speaking, he placed a bouquet of white roses grown in the tower in front of the tombstone.
Then I walked through many cemeteries covered by weeds and found the other two most familiar tombs.
"Not every hunter who wanders in dangerous areas will become a ranger. A true ranger, they know how to blend in with nature and experience its holiness, and they will be touched by the sacredness of nature like a paladin."
Thorne looked at the clean tomb in front of him, recalling in his mind the way of the ranger that the ranger mentor told him.
Leave the hustle and bustle of town behind the dangerous walls of the wilderness and focus on hunting the hazards that hover on the fringes of civilization. Fend off monsters and vicious humanoids from the wilderness before intelligent civilization is ravaged and destroyed.
This is exactly the dream he chose to become a ranger. Although he has gone through a series of earth-shattering changes, and even took part-time job as a swordsman, the creed and obsession of a ranger have always been deeply imprinted in his heart, and he has never wavered.
Therefore, every time he is in the dense forest and the vast wilderness, he can feel the intimacy brought by nature.
Thorne bowed deeply, stood there in silence for a long time, took out a bottle of Frost Wine, and under the gaze of a black owl, gently sprinkled it on the grave, and then placed a bouquet of calla lilies in front of the tombstone , turned and walked towards another cemetery.
"Goo, goo, goo..."
The owl watched Thorne's leaving figure, and honked a few times, and the trilling wailing was floated by the warm spring breeze, and drifted to a distant place.
"Only their compatriots can truly understand the difficulties of their own race. No matter what race they are, they always like to get along with people of the same race. Because they can find an inexplicable intimacy in their compatriots."
Thorne recalled the last words of the half-elf leader Oster, sighed with emotion, and said to himself:
"So the once dilapidated Fallstown became a gathering place for wandering half-elves, and Stallman Town became a shelter for the tiefling race.
Similarly, our homeless compatriots from other worlds also spontaneously gathered together.
Because many people don't want to bow to the power of the original residents, to endure and abide by their culture and system silently, and then gradually forget their own civilization, and finally be assimilated into a poor person with sad memories.
So we built Twilight, Iron Horse, Clarion, and the lower part of Fallstown in Emerald Fields.
Even the dark elves in the Underdark established the fourth Scourge family in the city of Rezim, and those in the Black Pearl Forest united to try to build their own city.
In fact, we are all a group of protesters who do not succumb to fate. "
Thorne was silent for a long time, bowed deeply towards the grave, and then took out a bottle of dwarf golden wine and gently sprinkled it on the grave.
He glanced at the dire goose slowly coming from the depths of the dense forest, took out another bouquet of bird-of-paradise flowers, put it in front of the tombstone, and turned to leave.
The dire goose stretched its long neck to look at the blue sky, and its neighing pierced the sky.
Thorne walked along a path covered with weeds, gradually entering the depths of the woods.
The surrounding trees are getting denser and denser. Towering trees grow disorderly. The huge tree crowns are like giant umbrellas that hold up to the sky.
The whole forest is silent, no whispers among the branches can be heard, and no branches can be seen swaying with the wind.
Only rotten dead branches and leaves and lingering mist filled it.
Thorn stopped, and he lay directly on the ground overgrown with weeds. His sharp eyes looked at the blue sky through the gaps between the mist and branches and leaves, watching the white clouds floating in the sky, watching the scratches. The falcon in the sky disappeared without a trace, as if seeing a free life.
There is a kind of power that can make the green grass push away the huge stones, just to welcome the first ray of sunshine in life.
There is also a kind of power that enables a strong person to overcome difficulties and obstacles, just to reap the success in life again and again.
This power is faith.
What is belief?
Faith is a realm, pursuit, and motivation.
It is a powerful force for progress in life, supporting them to overcome all difficulties, pursue persistently, and never give up until they reach their goals.
It is a promise that cannot be changed by the vicissitudes of life, and it is also a light of hope in the long night, so that there will no longer be gloom in our bumpy and wandering lives.
"Then give yourself a belief that when it is calm, it is like the calm sea, and when it is gorgeous, it is like the brilliant clouds in the sky. From then on, you will embark on the road that will never get lost and fight endlessly."
Lying on the ground, Thorne showed an enlightened smile, then got up and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest through the clouds.
……
Waterfall Town, the No.12 floor of the tower.
A wave of light blue light emerged from a portal made of a large number of precious gemstones and arcane materials.
Immediately afterwards, a black shadow appeared, and when the light gradually dissipated, the face of the figure was also clearly displayed.
Thorn, the half-elf ranger shrouded in a black cloak, stepped out.
"Why is it you?" Thorn looked around, but did not find Anderina's figure, so he cast doubtful eyes on another petite figure, and said, "Ms. Malvisa, when did you come?" here."
Malvisa, who was standing on a chair, put the mithril carving knife in her hand on the table, and turned to look at the half-elf standing next to the portal.
She looked at Thorn carefully, her eyes hidden under the shadow of the brim of the hat were first surprised, then a natural smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she stretched out her little hand to say hello: "It's Thorne, long time no see, your change It's just too big."
The two hadn't seen each other for more than a month after leaving the city of ruins, but in this short period of time, the ranger's whole person's aura was obviously a little different.
The so-called aura is something that a person naturally produces after experiencing many bloody slaughters.
His strength didn't seem to have improved much, but the former Thorne, no matter how hard he tried to conceal it, there would be a faint murderous look in his every move, and he couldn't hide it from her eyes at all.
Moreover, his fierce aura is so sharp that it is easy for people to perceive that he is full of unkind cold hostility and instinctive alienation from strangers, which means that he will not restrain this aura.
That's why she always likes to make fun of this ranger, because if there is a rich expression on the face of that kind of facial paralysis, it is really interesting.
But for him now, his aura has become a little more settled, and that faint murderous aura has also been completely restrained by him.
Even Malvisa felt in Thorne's sharp eyes the illusion of seeing the sun and the moon through the clouds, as if this person had seen through life and possessed an indestructible belief.
In the entire Waterfall Town and Horn Town, the one who gave her the strongest feeling was the Druid Qingchen in the Emerald Garden. Now Thorne's temperament has begun to move closer to Master Qingchen.
However, comparing the state of mind of these two people, Master Qingchen looks very natural, calm as water, and there is no wave in the ancient well.The path Thorne is going to take is more like a simple and unpretentious scabbard, with a sharp blade hidden.
"It seems that the oppressive darkness of the Underdark Region didn't pollute his heart, but instead made his state of mind more solid." Malvisa glanced at Thorn with gratified eyes, thinking to herself.
Then she raised her head and smiled and joked: "I came here more than a month ago, and I was engraving the magic circle in the elemental pool yesterday. You only care about making out with your little girlfriend, how could you notice me as a loner."
Lonely?
After saying these four words, the goblin wizard looked dazed for a moment, and then smiled helplessly.
"What about her?" Hearing the other party's joke, Thorne did not argue or refute, but asked casually.
Because when he came back yesterday, he found that Andrina had been busy engraving the runes of the Eye of Insight at the top of the tower on the twelfth floor, so he wondered why the goblin wizard didn't ask her to assist.
"She is clumsy and will only cause me trouble, so I kicked her out." Malvisa naturally knew who Thorne was referring to, so she said with a smile.
Pushed down?
Thorne looked at the smiling goblin wizard and didn't know what to say.
As a guest, to actually drive the host away, this kind of thing is probably only the one in front of me who can do it.
"Clumsy, I don't think so, isn't that what you said a little too much." After thinking about it, Thorne still retorted.
Because after he came back yesterday, he has been by Anderina's side, watching her engrave the rune circle, and found that the other party did not show any clumsiness.
On the contrary, it looks very skilled.
"I'm just kidding you." Malvisa heard a bit of dissatisfaction in Thorne's tone, and replied casually, and continued:
"The tower's eye-of-sight device is almost finished, and I have to do a few complicated procedures myself. I don't think she can help much standing here, so I let her go down to learn spells."
"That's really hard work for you." Thorne replied sincerely to Malvisa.
If the high tower has the eye of insight device, then it will not be afraid of the sneak attack of the hobgoblin of Hruk at all.
Because when they approach the detection range of the Eye of Insight, their every move will be clearly displayed in the crystal ball connected to it in the tower.
At that time, the defensive force of Pushang Town can respond in advance.
If the eye of insight made by Malvisa is completed, then in the automatic operation state, the scene within 30 kilometers of the entire town can be observed at the farthest.
Moreover, apart from the fact that the eye of insight cannot penetrate solid barriers, illusions, darkness, invisibility, and dense fog cannot stop its peeping.
Therefore, as long as the Eye of Insight is in operation, the actions of the hobgoblin of Hruk are simply invisible to them.
Thorne glanced at the goblin wizard who was concentrating on his work, stopped disturbing him, and was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait a minute." Sensing Thorne's intention to leave, Malvisa hesitated for a moment, stopped his figure directly, and said, "Wait a moment, I have something to discuss with you."
After the goblin wizard finished speaking, he continued to work without looking back, until the last magic rune was engraved, then he turned around and cast his light red eyes on Thorn. After a moment of silence, he said slowly:
"Thorn, do you think that with the strength of the two of you, the entire wizard tower can be completely built?"
The so-called strength refers to financial resources, which Thorne naturally knows, so he pondered for a moment and said, "Of course."
After all, he has started to develop his power now, and he believes that as his strength grows, there will be more and more ways to make money. It is only a matter of time before the wizard tower is established.
"You think it's pretty good." Seeing Thorne's confident appearance, Malvisa smiled helplessly.
"What do you mean?" Thorne walked up to Malvisa, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Do you know how much money was spent just for this insight?" Malvisa asked without answering Thorne's question, sitting on a chair, pointing to the crystal ball on the table.
"All the secret materials and gems add up to about 15 gold coins." Thorn frowned and thought about it carefully before giving his answer.
Because he asked Torvi to order these materials for him, he must know something about the total price.
However, the money was not paid by him himself, but paid by Anderina.
Of course, even if he was asked to pay, he couldn't afford that much.
During a trip to the Underdark region, the materials for making swords and the cost of making swords by the Dilro dwarves directly wiped out what little he had of his family.
If he hadn't found a good piece of equipment on the mercenary leader, and in the arena of the Royal City of Rezim, he would have won every duel against himself, and he wouldn't even be able to afford the cost of making a sword.
"The 15 gold coins are just your little girlfriend's own expenses. I have already covered the real big ones for you in advance." Malvisa pursed her lips and said truthfully.
"You mean to say that you brought your own materials when you came here." Thorn looked at the goblin wizard in front of him, and couldn't sit still.
If the other party's words are true, then the sympathy of the other party will be great, and he helped to reform and paid for it himself. If he was killed, he would not believe that this goblin wizard who was so selfless in the eyes of Sigrit's black dragon. , so generous.
However, there is no need for the other party to lie about this kind of thing, as long as he confirms with Anderina, it will be clear.
So, what is the meaning of this goblin wizard from Horn Town is a bit intriguing.
Seeing that Thorne didn't look suspicious, Malvisa smiled, played with the mithril carving knife in her hand and said:
"Maybe my vision is too high, so I think about everything in the long term. The upper limit of this Wizard Tower may determine how long all of us can persist in the Emerald Field."
"Apart from the hobgoblins in the Forest of Tranquility and the gnolls in the Great Swordscar Mountains, are there other deadly threats in the Emerald Field?" Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be joking, Thorne expressed his guess.
He once heard from a plane clairvoyant who called himself a credit knife man that one day in the future, the entire Emerald Field would be turned into a barren desert. Could it be that this is what Malvisa was alluding to?
Thorn watched the goblin wizard quietly, trying to find the answer from the other's expression, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.
"Probably." Malvisa looked at Thorn frankly.
"I see, I will pay more attention to the wizard tower in the future." Thorn didn't ask further, because he knew very well that even if he asked, the other party would not reveal anything.
"The reason why I asked you about the cost of the Eye of Insight is actually to tell you that with your own ability, it is difficult to bear this huge consumption." Malvisa was silent for a long time, looked up at Thorne, and said:
"So, if you want to build the wizard tower, you must concentrate all your strength."
"You mean..." Thorne said meaningfully.
"Don't you want them to help you share the pressure?" Malvisa smiled when she saw Thorn's expression fluctuating, and said, "Don't worry, my Town of Bugle will fully support you."
"I understand what you mean." Thorne thought seriously for a long time, finally got up and saluted Malvisa respectfully, left a word, and turned to leave.
"I hope you really understand." Malvisa looked at Thorn's leaving back, with a vague smile on the corner of her mouth.
Then the goblin wizard stared at the crystal ball in front of him in a daze for a long time, and solemnly took out a platinum coin engraved with a floating fortress from his pocket.
She quietly stared at the platinum coin in her palm for a long time, then picked up the mithril carving knife and skillfully carved a pentagram circle on the table.
Immediately afterwards, the platinum coin in her hand was thrown into the air.
This gold coin, shining with platinum light, rotated in a graceful arc in mid-air, and gently fell into the center of the pentagram circle.
At the moment of touching the magic circle, the pentagram magic circle immediately flashed a light blue light.
This platinum coin engraved with a floating fortress was directly slashed by an invisible force, whirled and fell slowly.
"Is there still no turning point?"
Malvisa looked at the slowly falling platinum coins, stood on the chair with a complicated expression, and suddenly staggered again, almost falling off the chair.
Immediately afterwards, a deep sense of powerlessness shrouded her whole body. In a trance, she seemed to see flickering illusions on the shimmering platinum coins.
She saw the fragmented continent, the burning of countless blood and fire, and the ruined floating fortress falling into the abyss...
In the end, the flickering picture freezes to the endless desert.
There, the wind howled and the wind and sand filled the sky.
"Killing the gods, making the gods and protecting the gods"
The goblin wizard Malvisa gently wiped away the traces of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth with trembling hands, and took off the pointed hat on her head. Her coiled long hair was covered with silver threads.
