The legendary path of the abandoned half-elf

His blond hair was dripping with sweat, and his body was tense. He kept using soul energy to cover up his increasingly strong devilish aura. He had to complete the [camp disguise] ability before anyone noticed it, otherwise the group of paladin lunatics from the Endless Light would be waiting for him. .

In order to master his abilities, he never bothered Lorenno, and even almost forgot about her.

At this moment, the servant knocked on the door: "Master, a member of the Endless Light is here to ask you something."

Effie Astaire's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his identity had been discovered?

He quickly regained his composure. If his identity was really discovered, it would not be because he was here to inquire. Instead, there were paladins standing around the manor. After calming down, Baron Effie said to the servants: "Let them wait for 10 minutes. I will do it." Come over after finishing this experiment."

Speeding up the consumption of soul energy, Effie's face gradually turned pale, and the shadow behind him kept showing a ferocious appearance. When the five minutes were up, he got up and walked towards the reception room. His soul energy was running faster and faster, and he stepped into the reception room with one foot. While in the living room, magic waves swept through his body.

Finally got it.

Seeing that the priest did not show any dangerous expression, Effie knew that he had used the ability of [Faction Disguise] to turn himself into a lawful and kind person. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and saluted the chief priest and his father with a smile as usual: "Father , Lord Pastor."

"Elfie," Count Astaire coughed at his son, picked up the contract on the table and handed it to him, "What's going on? Why do you need to buy slaves from such a far away place?"

Effie was stunned for a moment after taking the contract, and understood why Endless Light had come, and explained respectfully: "Uncle Ai Luo said that he had a group of slaves over there who were eager to sell, so I bought them back, and now they are in one of my places. Manor work.”

Hearing this, the head priest said gently: "Can you invite them over? The main reason is that there was only one batch of slaves sold to Dovley at the same time as them, and that batch was bought by Baron Fick, so I want to know more about it. As for the situation, as for Baron Fike, I think the aristocratic circle understands what is going on."

"Of course," Effie said very politely, "I'll go and bring them over now."

After leaving the living room, Effie's eyes flashed with anger. She never expected that mistakes would appear in the Arlo Territory, and she didn't know what the madmen from Endless Light did to get this contract.

Recalling the few slaves he bought from Arlo, the Harvester Demon felt relieved. He had not completely eaten the souls of those guys, and could still use them for a little bit.

Returning to his laboratory, Effie found the bodies of those people, called them out of the dormant chamber, used magic to revive their soulless vegetative bodies, grabbed his own neck with his right hand and tore out three or four souls, slightly modifying the memory. Then stuff them into the corresponding bodies one by one.

One by one, they all came to life. After a slight dullness and confusion, their eyes became clear. When they saw the Baron Master, they knelt down quickly and said, "Master."

"Get up. There is a priest who wants to see you. Just tell the truth."

"Yes, young master," a girl's eyes were full of longing, "we will never forget your great kindness."

……

The priest inquired to no avail, so he picked up the contract and said goodbye to Earl Astaire. Erphie's father glanced at his son and reminded him: "Ephie, you must be careful when doing things, don't get entangled, do you understand?"

"I know, father, I will definitely pay attention."

After leaving with several resurrected slaves and completing the most important ability of concealment, the young baron looked up in the direction of the Orpus mansion, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Chapter 338 Kidnapping the Male Deacon

There are still 5 days until the game.

Lorenno's strength has not changed much in the past few days. The most intense battle was the battle to the Arlo Territory. The rest was to maintain the battle with Elsa and help Vita train.

"There are really more and more capable people in the city."

As a relatively well-known professional, Lorenno will always encounter some scrutiny when walking on the street. Most of them are sparse and ordinary and cannot bring any sense of danger to the half-elf girl. Some are different. Strong professionals will make them The hair on her body stood up, and the stares became more frequent as game time approached.

"Quick, move over here!"

A group of mages of about level 1-5 are directing the porters to pull a screen over. There are such construction teams everywhere. They are obviously preparing for the viewing experience of the game. At the same time, newspapers are all promoting this project. Everyone began to look forward to this game.

"Boss, I'm just here. Did the Empire win the championship in all the events in the previous competitions?"

"Of course not," the fat owner of the newsstand raised his eyes and accepted Lorenno's money for selling newspapers, "I remember March and Fourth.

The Empire lost miserably in a game two years ago. There were not many powerful people in that era. Because of this, the admission level and exam difficulty of the Imperial College seemed to have gone up a notch. Fortunately, my son graduated before that. "

After taking the newspaper, Lorenno sat at the table outside the newsstand to eat breakfast and read the newspaper. At the same time, she paid attention to the passers-by. She asked Selina and Connie to collect information about mid-level professionals who might participate. Lorenno wanted to see it. See if real people, especially those professionals who might restrain her, can make her feel in danger.

"Ah, we meet again, Miss Half-Elf~."

The unfamiliar voice made Lorenno turn around. A girl in black holding a parasol looked at her with a smile. The half-elf girl's body tensed up instantly. She reached out to hold the Immortal Slash at her waist but found that it didn't produce any abnormalities. At the same time, Lorenno Lenno's senses didn't sense danger either.

She recognized the face of the girl, the devil who had tried to seduce her into corruption.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous~," a girl who was a few minutes shorter than her sat down next to her and said with a smile, "This is the territory of the Endless Light and the Empire. I don't intend to cause a commotion like a certain devil. Don't worry. .”

"Miss Clerva," Lorenno asked, suppressing the fear in his heart when seeing that the being who might be the big devil in front of him did not show any aggression toward her, "is there anything I can do for you?"

"I don't need your help, it's you who need my help."

"……How to say?"

"That reaper demon is already planning to target you and your friends. I'm just here to give you a warning. When you are threatened with death, remember to sell me your soul as a bargaining chip." "

Hearing Cleva's seemingly well-intentioned suggestion, Lorenno raised his spirits: "Are you so sure that I can't defeat that harvest demon?"

The girl in the black dress glanced at the half-elf girl and showed a strange smile: "Of course it can be done now, but it won't be possible if the harvest demon grows up."

Lorenno's heart moved: "Do you have any information about him?"

"Yes, because his potential is very good and he is not under my command, so I don't mind adding obstacles to it. If you want to know about the harvest demon, I can tell you, how about it?"

"...No need. I won't make a deal with the devil if it's not necessary. You can come back to me when I'm in dire straits."

As Lorenno finished speaking, her eyes blurred. The girl named Cleva had disappeared in front of her, as if she had never been there. A strong burning sensation came from her neck. The girl reached out and touched it. The line appears between the right shoulder and the neck.

[Hehehe~, then I will come back to you when you are about to be killed by that little devil. 】

A vague voice came into his mind. Lorenno took out the mirror from the dimensional bag and saw a slightly invisible mark that resembled nine tails through the mirror.

"Is this a deepening of the curse?"

The half-elf girl looked gloomy. She opened the status bar and found that this was not a curse, but a blessing, even though it was a blessing from hell.

====

The unknown devil's blessing: Charm +1, strengthens resistance to the devil's curse.

====

Looking at this blessing, Lorenno was very confused. The devil just approached her and should not be able to give her a blessing.

[Unless she is not an ordinary big devil, but the incarnation of the lord of hell. 】

"...Let's go to the Temple of Endless Light again."

After hearing her sister's words, the half-elf girl who valued her life and soul got up and walked towards the church. An arrow was aimed at her from a distance and was caught by Lorenno. After spreading it out, she found that it was an arrow. A photo and a paragraph. The person in the photo is the rather miserable deacon of the Monica Chamber of Commerce.

"If you want to kill him, come to the following address alone and don't bring anyone with you..."

After reading it, Lorenno whispered: "Threatening letter, should we go?"

This photo is most likely fake. After all, the male deacon should have left after the incident.

【It all depends on you. 】

After a little hesitation, the girl felt that the male deacon was involved because of her, and decided to go and find out——

Of course, it was absolutely impossible to go alone. Lorenno would definitely have to find someone from City Guards and Endless Light to go with her.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Lorenno arrived 1000 meters away from the designated area of ​​the slum, sensed the presence of the group of "people" through the desolate grassland, gestured to the Endless Light and the people at the city guard, and then approached the group of kidnappers.

Are they the subordinates of the harvest demon...

Looking at the gangsters who were full of the aura of the lower world, Lorenno asked: "Where are the people?"

The wordless dead man pulled out the male deacon who was covered in bruises. When the deacon saw Lorenno, his eyes lit up with a light of hope, and he twisted his body in the hope that the half-elf girl would save him.

The male deacon in front of him constantly had the aura of the lower world emanating from him, but he seemed not to notice it. Lorenno looked at the dead man and asked: "What do you want me to do?"

"Capture him without mercy...I know it's impossible."

A proud voice came from the dead man's mouth, and the harvest demon said arrogantly from behind: "Let's do this, Miss Lorenno, as long as you sign a contract with me, I will let him go, and I will promise not to entangle the people around you. ,how?"

"What contract?"

The half-elf girl asked back

, a roll of parchment appeared in the hands of the dead soldier and was thrown to Lorenno. She took it and opened it. The conditions written on it were like a slave contract. The half-elf tore it up without thinking, and was ready to take action.

Since the other party doesn't want to talk at all, let's just start fighting.

Chapter 339 Ruthless

Realizing that Lorenno had a tendency to take action, the dead man spoke again: "Of course, I know this is hard for you to accept, but I have another contract."

He threw over a new piece of parchment. The conditions on it were much looser and were not so unacceptable compared to the previous one. However, a famous thinker in her memory said it well——

Human nature always likes to compromise. For example, if you say that this room is too dark and a window must be opened here, no one will allow it. But if you advocate removing the roof, they will come to compromise and be willing to open a window. window.

Holding two pieces of parchment, the half-elf girl said: "His friendship with me is not deep, and he is not worthy of such a big sacrifice. I firmly believe that as long as my moral bottom line is low, I will not be kidnapped by people with kindness. , and exchange another contract."

"Impossible," the dead man sneered, "With that contract, his life is entirely in your hands."

Lorenno and the dead soldiers over there have plans to take action. Effie Astaire behind the scenes has used special means to confirm that it is difficult for the Church of Endless Light to arrive nearby. If the half-elf does not sign, his "men" You will deal with the hostages and then fight Lorenno.

The atmosphere was solemn, the grass was blown to the ground by the wind, and Lorenno lowered his head so that his expression could not be seen clearly.

[Sister, are you sure? 】

"So what if you're not sure," Lorenno muttered to himself, a golden light glowing from the depths of his pupils, "Remember, we must not be threatened!"

【Affect plants】【Plant growth】!

The ground where the male deacon was caught by the dead man suddenly collapsed. Although the dead man quickly grabbed the deacon's clothes with his quick eyes and hands, his body was still shaken. Lorenno stretched out his left hand, and the dryad glove was wrapped around it. A tiny magical aura suddenly erupted on his hand, disguised as the magic brought by the gloves.

The vines protruded from the ground and severed the arms of the dead men. The hole the male deacon fell into was sealed by countless vines. The elf pulled out his immortal sword and looked at the dead men. The shadow of a big tree appeared behind him.

The grass lay on both sides, and the gleaming golden eyes in the darkness pulled out a ray of light as the elf ran. In an instant, he came in front of the dead man. The Immortal Slash slashed at the head of the dead man in front of him without hesitation, but what happened next Lorenno didn't expect it at all.

The Immortal Slash became like a blunt weapon, with no head flying up and no blood gushing like a column. The dead man was directly knocked out by Lorenno with huge force. Seeing this abnormality, the elf girl took a few steps back to observe. The condition of the dead soldier.

Thinking of the harvest demon's previous performance, the elf flipped through the books in his mind and came up with a guess: "You can extract the souls of others, and you can also return the souls to that body. The extracted souls can be modified by you, and those who have been modified can have memories." Those who remember are now the dead soldiers."

This set of operations is not the method of the Necromancy School, but the method of the Illusion School and Psykers. The people eaten by the Harvest Devil are from the good camp, and it will not change after modifying the memory. At the same time, the body is also their own, so they will not die. Only by chopping them down will there be resistance.

The dead soldier whose body was controlled by the harvest demon narrowed his eyes: "I thought you had to find someone from the Endless Light to guess this. I didn't expect that I underestimated you. It turns out you are not that kind of reckless person." .”

Maybe I guessed wrong?

Lorenno thought this when she heard the answer. The vines came out of the ground behind her and spit out the male deacon on the ground. After looking at the deacon, the elf took the immortal sword back into the dimensional gloves and rushed towards " Death warrior".

The pupils of the controlled dead soldier dilated. Effie Astaire expected that the half-elf's character would not take action against these people who had modified their memories.

"You really overestimated my moral level." The elves chopped off the heads of the dead soldiers like melons and vegetables. Their strength was not high, they were just resistant to standard long swords.

The harvest demon praised: "You are right, I underestimated your determination and overall view. What if your friends are controlled."

As he spoke, the male deacon suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Lorenno from behind. The vines instantly wrapped around his limbs and dragged him to the ground. The elf walked towards the dead man controlled by the harvest demon. He did not make a move. Instead, he disconnected himself and pulled away. An empty shell is left behind.

Lorenno took off the clothes and mask of the corpse. All of them were severely burned and transformed into a demon, making it impossible to see the original image.

……

Effie Astaire sat up from the life-sustaining chamber in his laboratory, spit out the oxygen solution and showed a rather appreciative look: "As expected of a blood beast, I thought she was the same as those priests in Endless Light who have never been on the battlefield. He was just as naive, but now he seems to be a smart person."

It's a pity that it is impossible for the two to have a good relationship, otherwise Effie would definitely invite her to join her camp.

After getting up and coming to the laboratory screen, Effie Astaire was a little distressed looking at the clues he had collected about people related to half-elves. Without him, there were so few people who had friendships with Lorenno that there was nothing he could do. It seems that we can only take action against the giant wolf Elsa, the druid Shaluo and the unknown girl. But according to the number of times they go out, I am afraid that before the Empire Tournament begins,

There's no chance,

Tell the church and the city guard about the characteristics of the reaper demon. Lorenno was not embarrassed by the group of people she killed. The soulless shell and the male deacon whose memory was modified were handed over to them. The half-elf The girl returned to her home and explained the matter to Connie.

"So I still haven't figured out who it is, and there's this mark. Arnold, do you know it's the mark of the big devil?"

Connie pointed her finger at Lorenno's nine-tail mark, feeling the cold magic in it and retracted her finger. The half-elf girl recalled the words of the people in the temple: "It bullies the weak and fears the strong, and I suspect that someone is helping it behind the scenes. As for This mark on my body...it is the symbol of the Nine-tailed Whip of the Demon Queen Gracia."

Princess Gracia is the daughter of Asmodeus, the Lord of Hell. She is also the princess of hell and the queen of the sixth level. She often appears in front of everyone as a bronze-skinned incarnation. Instead of using force to win the soul, she and The Succubus Queen is similar, preferring to obtain souls through seductive corruption, and can use her avatar to enter and exit the main world at will.

The Cleva that Lorenno met was probably Gracia herself. The Church of Endless Light had already tried cleaning the mark, but it would reappear as soon as it was cleared. As for finding the Queen of Desire, they actually In a rare move, he said that he could not take action and instead went to the Queen for help.

The church can't do anything about this, so the Queen shouldn't be able to do anything about it, right...

Anyway, this is what Lorenno thinks. Since Gracia did not get rid of her and take her soul to hell, the half-elf girl is not in a hurry to clean up this blessing. At least she is safe now and has a "self-destruction" skill. .

Chapter 340 The last day before the start of the game

"Gray... tell everyone at Endless Light and I will solve this matter."

After hearing the maid's report, the Queen asked her to convey her intention to the temple. She raised her finger and swept Dovlai with energy more powerful than magic. She unexpectedly found two uninvited guests. Judging from their auras, they both arrived recently.

Seeing that the two of them did not do anything excessive, the Queen did not choose to move her body. She just looked at the two of them with her eyes, warned them not to cause trouble in Dovley, then withdrew her eyes and continued to handle official duties.

After the official business was completed, the queen looked at Orpus's home, with some expectations in her heart. How far her daughter, whom she had never met, could achieve. The help she gave was just a kind of catalyst. If you want to become stronger, you still have to wait and see. How strong is the desire in Lorenno's heart.
