Lord God: Times have changed

Chapter 213 Ranger Elidan, Kingdom Defense

The human kingdom is called Linivia, and its southern port has ships leading to the elf continent.

However, the speed of this sea boat was too slow. Zhou Ming had no intention of taking a boat. He asked someone for the location of the Elf Continent. He judged the location based on the Tianzi Wangqi technique, and then flew across the sea and came to another continent. .

A gust of wind floated down at Gray Crow Port, turning into a figure.

The sudden appearance surprised the elves in the port, but this is a magical world after all. Although Zhou Ming's sudden appearance was a little surprising, it was not something beyond their knowledge.

After falling to the ground, Zhou Ming looked around.

The port of the elves is much simpler than that of the human kingdom, but it is not weak in the slightest degree of prosperity. Various races live together, harmonious and beautiful.

Although the information of the main mission has stated that a war is about to take place here, but now, this war has obviously not started yet.

Zhou Ming found a hotel run by elves near the port, and asked the owner for information about this continent.

Compared with the northern continent occupied by humans and various races, the southern continent occupied by elves is obviously more beautiful in terms of natural environment.

The creatures living on this continent, whether they are elves, druids, fairies, or even twilight elves, all love nature and believe in the goddess of nature.

They will not destroy nature at will, but will protect it.

Of course, where there is light, there is love, and there are good people and there are bad people. How can it be possible that such a large continent is full of creatures that coexist peacefully and love each other.

In addition to those mentioned above, there are also ferocious wolf people on the mainland. These races have always disliked production, but only like to plunder.

However, in front of the prosperous elf kingdom, the gnolls can't make a difference. On the contrary, the Twilight elves often have conflicts with the elves. Although there is no war, the relationship is not very good.

In addition, there are also forces such as the Spider Empire and the Dwarf Kingdom on the mainland.

But overall, the continent is peaceful.

Zhou Ming understood the information, but when he thought about it in his mind, he felt that the information seemed to be available in every Western fantasy world. It was basically impossible to use this information to figure out which world it was.

"Boss, do you know 'hero'?"

"Heroes? In the history of our elf kingdom, there have been many heroes. Which one are you referring to?"

Zhou Ming shook his head.

It seems that in this world, the definition of the word "hero" is similar to that in the real world. It refers to people who are brave and have excellent qualities, and have no other meanings.

So, what does the 'hero' in the challenge mission refer to?

Zhou Ming thought for a while, and then asked: "Boss, who do you think can be called heroes in this era? The living ones."

"Your question is so strange," said the innkeeper, "but if you really want to talk about it, it must be the ranger Elidan."

"Ranger Aridan?"

The boss nodded: "Our Gray Crow Port communicates with the Northern Continent through merchant ships. There are a large number of commercial transactions. It is considered a relatively affluent city on the mainland, so groups of gnolls and robbers often come to plunder. Ranger Aridan When he came to Gray Crow Port decades ago, every time jackal robbers came, he would participate in defensive battles, killed countless robbers, and protected the wealth and lives of countless elves.

He must be one of the heroes of our time! "

Ranger...Aridan...

Zhou Ming felt that the name sounded familiar, so he hurriedly asked, "Where can I find him?"

"Huh? What are you looking for him for?"

There was a hint of vigilance in the innkeeper's eyes.

"Just wanted to visit him."

"I'm sorry, Aridan is a ranger and he doesn't have a fixed place to live. I only know that he is near Gray Crow Harbor, but I don't know where he is."

said the boss.

Zhou Ming is not only a foreigner, but also a newcomer to Gray Crow Port. He immediately inquired about their hero Elidan and wanted to find him.

It’s fine if it’s good intentions, but if you have evil intentions, wouldn’t it be harming Aridan if you tell him?

Even if he knew, the hotel owner would not easily tell Zhou Ming.

What's more, he really doesn't know.

Zhou Ming also saw his vigilance, and instead of forcing it, he began to look for it by himself.

However, in the vast expanse of the continent, even if the scope has been narrowed down to the vicinity of this port city, it is still quite difficult to find a target.

The Tianzi Wangqi technique is just a technique of observing qi, not a technique of divination. It is also impossible to directly find the target based on race and name alone.

"In this case, you can only use a stupid method."

Zhou Ming flew high into the sky, overlooking Gray Crow Harbor.

The elves love nature and never eat meat. If Aridan wants to eat, he can only choose fruit trees in the forest.

As for the problem of drinking water... firstly, this is the seaside, and secondly, there is magic in this world, so it is easy to solve.But for food, ordinary magic can't make it, so Aridan can only choose to find fruit trees by himself.

In a forest, unless it is specially planted, most of the trees do not bear fruit.

Fruit, especially edible fruit, is as scarce as water in the forest.

Anyone who has seen the animal world knows that a water source in a forest often gathers a large number of animals, including herbivores and carnivores.

And next to an edible fruit tree, a similar situation will occur.

Zhou Ming stood high in the sky, using the Heavenly Watching Qi technique to check the life breath in the forest around Gray Crow Port

The place where the breath of life gathers may be the place where Aridan haunts daily.

However, there are quite a few places like this!
"It is indeed the place where the elves live."

Zhou Ming sighed in admiration, and then turned into a breeze, and searched for them one by one with Huiya Port as the center.

As night approached, he found a male elf with a longbow and two knives under a big tree.

He has blond hair, skin as fair as snow, and an extremely handsome face.

It can be said to be a typical elf family.

When he finally found him, he was standing tens of meters away from a big tree, holding a longbow, closing his eyes, and aiming ahead.

However, there are big trees everywhere in this forest, and the distance of tens of meters is filled by dozens of trees. Zhou Ming doesn't know where he is aiming at.

But the next second he understood.

The arrow on the longbow flew out, and instantly hit a tree branch 75 meters away. What's more ingenious is that the strong wind that the arrow flew out caused all the branches and leaves on the tree branch to be blown away. go out.

At this moment, the male elf suddenly pulled out an arrow, shot it quickly, and then repeated this action. In the blink of an eye, he had indeed shot eight arrows in a row.

These eight consecutive arrows flew out back and forth. It can be said that the arrows are connected to the tails of the arrows, but the shooting directions are slightly different.

Brush brush!
The arrows roared in the air, and the sharp arrows directly hit the falling leaves in the air.

Zhou Ming's eyes were fixed.

The leaves hit by these eight arrows were exactly the leaves that were blown away by the first arrow!

This kind of bow and arrow technique is simply amazing!

Zhou Ming could see very clearly that during this process, there was no energy fluctuation on the male elf, that is to say, he didn't use any spells to assist him, and it was completely relying on his superb archery skills to achieve what he just did. that point.

"Great!"

Zhou Ming spoke in praise.

The elf opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Ming who was flying in the sky.

"you are?"

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "I'm just an unknown soldier passing by. I didn't expect to see such exquisite archery skills here."

"You praised."

"If the guess is correct, you should be the ranger Aridan praised by the residents of Gray Crow Port, right?"

"I am Aridan."

Aridan nodded in recognition, and then asked, "Are you a human from the Northern Continent?"

"No, I'm a mage from a faraway place, traveling around in order to increase my cultivation and knowledge. This is my first time visiting the continent of elves."

Zhou Ming landed on the ground, about two meters away from Aridan.

"Oh, so it's a guest from afar, welcome to the kingdom of elves. I don't know your name is..."

"Lei. Lei Baruch."

Zhou Ming wanted to make friends with him, and wanted to learn more about this world through Aridan.And although Ailidan practiced alone in the forest, he was a ranger with no fixed place, but he was not withdrawn. Hearing that Zhou Ming came to the Elf Continent for the first time, he introduced some things about the Elf Continent to him.

It's probably similar to what the innkeeper said, but in more detail.

On the grounds of thanking him, Zhou Ming invited him to Gray Crow Port and treated him to a drink.

Aridan couldn't shirk it, and it was getting late and it was time for dinner, so he agreed to Zhou Ming's invitation.

Eating and drinking, the relationship increases, and the conversation increases.

Zhou Ming also learned more and more about the world through Elidan's continuous narration.

After piecing together all the information about this world in his mind, he finally understood what kind of world this is.

Kingdom Rush: Origins!

This is a tower defense game, but it is called a masterpiece in tower defense games by players.

Because it was so popular, the studio that made the game turned it into a series.

The series mainly tells the story of the human kingdom resisting the evil mage Viznan and his army.

However, the plots in this series of games all take place in the northern continent, which is the continent where the human kingdom is located.

And 'Origin' is the prequel story of this series of games, which takes place in a very different southern continent.

Of course, the most important thing in tower defense games is the route and confrontation. In comparison, the plot of the game is not paid much attention to, but a masterpiece is a masterpiece. The games of the Kingdom Defense series also do a good job in terms of plot. The series down tells an epic story that takes place in a fantasy world.

The so-called "hero" is actually a special unit that the player can control in the game. It has a combat power far exceeding that of ordinary soldiers and has special skills.

The Aridan in front of him is the original hero in the game.

"It's a game world again? However, role-playing games like Titan Quest are nothing more than that. How can a tower defense game become a reality? A tower can be transformed into a battle? Well... it's not impossible..."

Zhou Ming thought that he had a skill that could conjure an arrow tower out of thin air.

But then I thought it was impossible.

In a war, it cannot be said that both sides in the war were conjured up by magic, right?

Is that still called war?
It's almost like two people fighting!
"Forget it, what do I care about these things, this is something the Lord God should worry about."

Gray Crow Harbor is so prosperous that it doesn't look like war is coming.

Zhou Ming recalled the plot of the game, and the enemy's attack seemed to come suddenly, with almost no warning before that.

The main task requires him to participate in the war and persist until the end, so naturally Zhou Ming will not stop this war from happening.

Besides, he couldn't stop it at all.

A war, unlike a street fight, doesn't break out because two people don't see eye to eye with each other.

War is an act of a force and a group of forces, and there must be various reasons hidden in it.

Before the war came, Zhou Ming was going to defeat the hero Elidan first, complete half of the challenge mission, and brush some skills on him by the way.

Two days later, Zhou Ming was basically familiar with Ai Lidan. After he imparted some hidden weapon skills and saber skills to Ai Lidan selflessly, Ai Lidan started a sparring with Zhou Ming in return.

The ranger Aridan carried two weapons, a longbow and a pair of knives at the same time, so it was naturally not good-looking.

His swordsmanship skills are profound, and his double-knife swordsmanship is also extremely strong.

It's a pity that as a hero unit in a tower defense game, this guy really doesn't have many skills.

In the challenge with Zhou Ming, besides those normal attack skills, he only used three attack skills.

One is the bow and arrow skill 'Volley Flying Shoot', which is the nine-arrow continuous shooting that Zhou Ming used when he first met Elidan.

It's just that Aridan didn't use energy to train his archery at that time.But during the sparring, it is the energy blessing that is used, not only the speed of the arrow is faster, but also the power is stronger.

As a result, Zhou Ming acquired the bow and arrow skill 'Careful·Seven Shots'.

Sounds like it might be worse than Aridan's Nine Shots, but watch out for that prefix.

careful!

This is a skill that comes from the world of "Prudent Heroes", the protagonist Ryuguin Seiya learned the skill of "Seven Shots" from the Goddess of Bow and Arrow, and then modified it.

Just talking about it may not understand how powerful this skill is.

Skill information below.

【Caution·Seven Shots】

Rating: 15/25
Magic Arrow: Consume energy to automatically generate magic arrow. The more energy you consume, the more powerful the magic arrow will be.If you master attribute magic, you can also generate magic arrows with attributes
Nine Consecutive Shots: Shoot two arrows quickly, every time you upgrade one level, you can shoot one more arrow

Magic Guidance: Your magic arrows can automatically aim at the target, even if others dodge, they will turn around and shoot, but every time you turn, the power of the arrow will be reduced by 10%
Swift magic: You use swift magic on yourself to make yourself shoot faster, the more energy you consume, the faster you shoot.The ultimate speed can reach 20 rounds per second

Evaluation: Although my skill is called Seven Shots, and the skill effect is called Nine Shots, but I can actually do Eleven Shots... be careful!
As mentioned earlier, the skills of the magic system are very different from those of the martial arts system. Generally speaking, the upper limit of the skill level is very low.

The gap between the lower limit and the upper limit of a martial arts level may be more than ten or twenty levels.

But between the lower limit and the upper limit of magic, it is often three or four levels, or five or six levels.

However, this "Careful·Seven Shots" has been transformed by cautious brave men. It not only increased the original level limit, but also added magic guidance and swift magic, which made it a unique ten-level skill in the magic system.

The second bow and arrow skill Elidan has mastered is Arrow Storm. Through the effect of magic, he can send out more than 20 arrows in an instant, attacking all enemies in a certain area.

As a result, Zhou Ming obtained the 'Rain of Diffusion Light', an area-type magic that sends out a beam of energy to the sky, and countless energy light blades descend from the sky.

In addition, Aridan also has a double-knife skill 'Double Slash', which is actually a magic combo using two knives.

Compared with his two bow and arrow skills, this dual-knife skill is very impressive.

After the sparring was over, Zhou Ming couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Allidan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Mingdao: "Your bow and arrow skills are very exquisite, but I am a mage, and it seems that I can't get the growth of magic if I compete with you."

Aridan was startled when he heard the words, and wanted to say something, but he hesitated when the words came to his lips.

Zhou Ming pretended not to see his expression, and called Aridan back to Gray Crow Port.

Aridan hesitated again and again, remembering Zhou Ming's calmness and selflessness when he taught him hidden weapons and sword skills, and finally made up his mind, saying: "Linley, although I am a ranger, my brother Ariwen is a powerful Elementalist, maybe I can recommend you to get to know him."

Zhou Mingxi said: "That's great, Aridan, I didn't expect you to have such a brother, where is he?"
