Chapter 421 Worried
In the dark night, the shadow trees, birch forests and fir trees growing around the ruins looked so friendly during the day, but now they turned into sinister and strange forests.
Is something rustling?
Was it the kobolds who made the noise?Or the fierce-eyed, terrifying-looking Gnoll hunter?Or a flesh-hungry bear goblin?Cruel and stupid ogres?
No, it's just a half-elf ranger who just walked over.
Thorn stood on the collapsed stone wall, the night wind blew his messy hair, passed over his cheeks, and stinged his black eyes, he didn't care, just quietly watching this uncompromising wilderness .
He is very familiar with this place. It used to be a village established by a group of destiny fighters, and it was also the place where he camped when he and Anderina went to Falls Town half a year ago.
Looking around, what caught my eyes was a vast night.
The moon was hiding in the heavy clouds, revealing only a few faint rays of light. There were chirping insects in the weed-covered ruins, and the desolate howling of wolves came from the Great Sword Scar Mountain Range.
The Ranger, who has long been accustomed to the wild night environment, looked at the familiar scenes without any fluctuation in his mood.
I do not know how long it has been.
Thorne sat casually on the collapsed ruins, leaning against the crumbling wall, letting the weeds emerging from the cracks caress his hair and cheeks, looking down at the demon mark on his palm, showing a bitter smile: "Is it Is it really just a test product?"
Demon power lv3 (2125/2500)
Since the duel with the spell summoner in the Black Pearl Forest, the progress of the demon power in his palm seemed to have absorbed some power, and it began to increase inexplicably.
So much so that he has been struggling against the invasion of the will of the abyss for the past two days, and finally got rid of this pain when the growth progress suddenly stopped, and he was glad that he saved himself from danger.
Although the continuous improvement of the level of demonic power allows him to gradually master various powerful spell-like abilities and demonic characteristics.
For example, the fireball technique, wall of fire technique, summoning demons, and the improvement of the blood of flames and attribute points he obtained are all due to the power of demons.
Facts have proved that these powerful abilities have also helped him overcome difficulties again and again.
However, just as the plane clairvoyant he met half a year ago said: all the gifts given by fate are secretly priced.
When you gain this power, it means that you will have to pay an unknown price at an unknown moment.
This is a life essence from the 21st floor of the bottomless abyss, the sixth pyre, the king of the Balor fire demon.
The former Lord of Ballow was buried in the deepest part of the Doomsday Volcano in the sixth pyre, but failed to kill him for thousands of years.
Even now, due to unknown reasons, the strength of the demon lord has dropped sharply, and he has fused it with a trick to obtain part of the ability of the demon lord.
But Thorne is very clear that this power is by no means something he can easily control. Perhaps the demon lord's hidden deepest consciousness is accumulating power and is ready to counterattack at any time.
Therefore, the substantial increase in the power of the devil did not bring him any joy, but added a lot of worry.
Since the last time the level of demon power was raised in the temple of Tiamat, the evil dragon queen, deep in the depths of the lost city of dragonborn.He deeply realized that with his current ability, he couldn't resist the erosion of the will of the abyss in the next promotion.
This is why he has been ignoring the progress of the power of the devil.
Who would have thought that an unexpected duel would almost reach a critical point, which made him break out in a cold sweat.
Staring at the demon mark that had long since returned to calm in his palm, Thorne remembered the solemn warning that the little wizard Pardo had left him just now.
This let him know that this method of fusing demonic essence came from the arcane empire that disappeared in the long river of history.
The former great arcanists have researched how to steal the power of demons without paying any price. Their research always thinks about how to not pay a price, but unfortunately they paid the heaviest price in the end.
But this is limited to low-level demons like cowards and quasi-mobs. As for middle-level and high-level demons, without exception, all of them ended in failure.
However, there are still great arcanists who do not give up on this and obtained the latest research results on the eve of the destruction of the Arcane Empire.
However, it is regrettable that with the collapse of the Arcane Empire, this research result could not be implemented in the end.
Despite this, this fusion method was found again for some unknown reason, and it was successfully recorded in the wizard tower in Winter City, and he is likely to be one of the test subjects.
A research that even mid-level and high-level demons have never tried, but directly tried the life essence of the demon lord on him, it is frightening to think about it.
"The ability you have obtained is also thanks to the person in Winter City. They are really messed up."
Thorn recalled what the goblin wizard Malvisa said with dissatisfaction and blame after knowing his situation.
In other words, if he wanted to know the truth of the whole incident, he had to go back to Fallshang Town as soon as possible and take the initiative to find out about the goblin wizard who lived in the high tower.
Thorn touched a space ring obtained from the plane of the seer. In addition to a soul spar that can make tower spirits, this ring also has a projection of a high-level artifact.
What is the advanced artifact projection used for?He was too lazy to think about things that had nothing to do with him.
Although he can't use the items of the space ring, he can use the things in his hands to make the goblin wizard tell the details about the clairvoyant, the godslayer, and the god-making plan.
Only by understanding the ins and outs of the incident can he be prepared to deal with it in the future.
Thinking of this, Thorne subconsciously turned and looked in the direction of Fallshang Town.
At this time, he has never had such a strong desire to return there as soon as possible.
He even thought about starting now non-stop, and arriving at the destination early the next morning, knowing what he wanted to know, but he finally forcibly endured it.
Because the sound of footsteps trampling on gravel and wild grass was coming from far and near, Thorne knew who the person behind him was without thinking.
"Why don't you go to rest." Thorne put away his worries and regained his composure and composure.
The half-elf girl didn't answer the ranger's question, but walked forward without saying a word, and sat beside him, breathing the fresh air of the wilderness, looking up at the cold moon emerging from the clouds.
Thorne felt a warmth emanating from Lilia's body, as well as a faint scent of body fragrance.
"Seeing the deep wilderness of the Emerald Field, what does it remind you of?" Lilia asked suddenly after a moment of silence.
"Worry." Thorne replied without thinking, even he himself didn't know why he would answer this question.
As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted a little, but unfortunately he couldn't take back the words.
"Why worry? You look calm and composed." Lilia stared at Thorne's face and asked curiously.
"The constant invasion of humanoid creatures, the harsh climate, the uncompromising wilderness, and the ruins without smoke all prove that this peninsula is just the wild edge of the entire continent." Thorne pondered for a moment, and glanced at his side There are ruins everywhere, and he replied perfunctorily.
At this moment, he was more worried about himself. As for Waterfall Town, he was actually not worried, because he thought that this small town on Waterfall would never see such a day.
"Are you worried about our Upper Falls?" Lilia looked at Thorn, trying to see something from his calm expression.
"Probably." Thorn met her gaze and nodded slightly.
Then, his tone became serious: "Didn't you notice that someone has been following us secretly?"
After Thorn finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the birch forest not far away.
