The legendary path of the abandoned half-elf

"Arno, are you going to the Temple of Endless Light?"

"No more trouble. I'll deliver the envelope and then go find the task."

In the new environment, Lorenno wanted to try to see if he could live well on his own, but Selina didn't force it: "Just come to the temple to find me when the time comes. I won't be able to go back for a while."

After leaving Miss Thief, the half-elf girl received a lot of malicious looks as soon as she got off the boat. It was not greed or the like, but anger towards her.

What's going on here?

She had an idea and imitated Selina, taking out the long sword that Alice had given her and starting to show off her power. She selected a person who stared at her and took out the sacred long sword and lowered his head in a hurry and said, "Why were you looking at me like that just now?"

"Sir, there has been a lot of trouble in Crystal City recently. We thought you were a druid. After all, your ears..." the sailor laughed, "the thing is like this..."

As the sailor explained, Lorenno gradually learned about the problem in Crystal City, which was what Selina had occasionally mentioned - serious pollution.

Crystal City is a city that relies on minerals to survive. One side of the city is close to a river, and the other side is close to a mountain. The mountains contain a large number of crystal and metal veins. It is one of the most important cities that provides metal to the empire. Most of the intelligent species are dwarves and humans. One belongs to The dwarf tribe of the empire lives here, and the two races live in peace and harmony. It can even be said that they live in harmony.

It has been fine here for more than 50 years, but I don’t know why a team of druids who protect nature came to Crystal City five months ago and said that they discovered that the development of mineral veins had caused serious pollution and demanded that the local area stop mining the mineral veins immediately. Now everyone in Crystal City is They were unhappy and began to share the same hatred. The majority of elves in the druid team aroused the ill feeling of humans and dwarves.

"Soul Forger (Dwarf Lord), you guys with pointed ears are wriggling in front of you like maggots on cheese all day long. This is Crystal City, a Crystal City that makes a living by mining minerals, not your natural forest land. , why don’t you take care of us when you have time to take care of your own Elf Kingdom? Aren’t you starting to dig for mineral deposits over there? Haha-too!”

The executive officer and chief of the dwarf side of Crystal City said this in public and even spat, while the human side was smiling on the outside and doing some tricks behind the scenes. Even the sailors at the port knew about these things, and this incident actually made people The whole city unites, after all, what the druid does is to cut off everyone's means of wealth or survival.

To put it bluntly, this is a conflict between the druids and the locals, and it should not involve him.

Lorenno nodded with satisfaction, threw a silver coin to the sailor, stood on tiptoes and patted his shoulder and said: "You misunderstood, I am a half-elf, and

Do you know how to get to Byrd Library? "

Chapter 49 Doing Tasks

After leaving the port, Lorenno put the sacred sword on his back. The effect was indeed strong enough. A large number of malicious sights disappeared. No one wanted to provoke the Church of Endless Light, and judging from the appearance of the half-elf, he might be an important person.

Of course, because of this, certain views became more malicious, and they were probably cultists. Lorenno followed the path the sailor told her to a shabby bookstore and pushed in the door.

"Is Mr. Bird here? Here is a letter from you."

In the dark bookstore, the scholar-looking old man raised his eyes: "Come in."

The half-elf girl put the envelope on the table and glanced at the bookshelf. Many of them were old books, and there were cobwebs on the bookshelf. It was obvious at a glance that few people came here.

After the old man checked the integrity of the envelope, he took out the gold coin bag and threw it to it. His chaotic eyes glanced at the sacred sword at his waist from time to time. Apparently he didn't want to pay much attention to her who was related to the Endless Light. Lorenno took the money bag and confirmed it. The number was correct and I walked out of the bookstore and walked straight to the Imperial Recruitment Office.

When you come to a new city, you can't stay there and be decadent.

There are so many people.This was Lorenno's first impression when he saw the Imperial Consulate in Crystal City.

Due to special political reasons in Cardinal City, the mission office is not very popular, but it is completely different in Crystal City. When professionals gather together, it is noisy, but the due order is maintained.

After entering the building, she put away the sacred sword and reported to the staff. The half-elf girl looked at the tasks projected on the crystal screen. They were much more monotonous than those in Cardinal City. Most of them were to clear monsters in the mines or find crystal stones. There were actually exploration ruins inside. .

"Are there any ruins left in Crystal City?"

She glanced at the missions that only high-level professionals could take on, then turned to the lower-level ones, and finally found the mission that suited her——

[Mission: Find and clean up monsters]

[Specific content: According to reports from miners, there are migrating kobolds in the forest leading to the Huolun Mine from Crystal City. The number is unknown. Search for them. If there are only twenty or less groups, please deal with them yourself. 】

[Reward: It depends on the situation. 】

[Requirements: Six low-level professionals, currently 5/6. 】

[Published by: Crystal City Executive Harrow. 】

Kobolds are humanoid creatures with red skin covered with scales. They are generally less than 1m2 tall. They are generally believed to be related to dragons because warlocks often appear. They are called kobolds because they do not have dog heads, but they sound like The barking dog actually has a head that looks more like a lizard man.

This mission is not very dangerous for the girl, and the five teammates are expendable. After weighing the pros and cons, she chose to take on this mission.

After recording the task, the receptionist said: "The time is to meet at the dispatch office at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Please arrive on time."

After finding what he wanted to do, Lorenno was still planning to rent a house close to the temple, but when he got there he found that all the hotels around the temple in the temple area were already overcrowded, so he had to settle for a hotel in a good location with good security.

The half-elf girl was walking on the road and looked around. A girl who was shorter than her ran towards her with her head lowered. Lorenno didn't pay attention at this time. Seeing that the two were about to collide, the running girl's eyes showed joy and she bumped her head hard. When he passed by, he missed it, and his arm was held by someone to prevent him from falling.

"It's alright."

The half-elf girl looked back and asked with concern. Although her attention was not focused on herself, her body instinctively avoided the head strike that was considered an attack.

"It's okay, thank you sister."

The human girl quietly looked at the dimensional bag on Lorenno's waist and secretly thought it was a pity. At the same time, she sweetly thanked the half-elf. She was about to turn around and leave but was held tightly by Lorenno. The half-elf girl's gray eyes stared at the thief: " You just wanted to steal my dimensional bag."

"how is this possible!"

The thief girl shook her short purple hair and felt very uneasy. She looked at Lorenno with tears in her eyes and wanted to tell her that she was a good child. But the problem was how could a professional who was a thief fall flat on the ground? Lorenno was not some Japanese An idiot like the hero of the manga.

Why do we encounter this kind of thing every time we go to a city? The half-elf girl sighed and took the thief's left hand, spinning it hard to dislocate it to teach the thief a lesson.

I guessed the wrong character.

The thief girl sighed slightly. She thought that the sister who was carrying the sacred sword had a good personality and would not do anything to her. Her body immediately rotated with her arm, and she drew her hidden sword and slashed Lorenno's neck. The half-elf let go of his arm and raised his head. He dodged the blow with his head and looked at the thief who was walking away without following. It was enough to teach him a lesson. He couldn't help but glance at the long sword in the dimensional bag and wondered whether he should ask Alice for a badge or something. To prevent anyone from trying to trick her, she quickly found a clean hotel in a stable neighborhood to stay.

Lorenno ended the day lying on the bed, feeling a little unaccustomed to the lack of a pillow beside him.

The next morning, I arrived at Room 9 of the Mission Office on time. Lorenno, who was the first to arrive, was sitting upright on the sofa. He always wanted to make a good impression on his teammates when they met for the first time.

After a while, a conversation came from outside the door: "Ophelia, please don't be with me all the time."

"That won't work. I have to watch you carefully, Le'er."

Um?this voice...

The thief named Leer, whom he met yesterday, pushed open the door and entered. Lorenno looked at her astonished expressionlessly, and finally smiled and waved: "Hello."

"Oh shit."

Le'er turned around and wanted to run away, but the blond priest lady behind her blocked the door. Ophelia looked at Le'er in confusion and didn't understand what happened, but it was Lorenno who said: "I forgive you, come and sit down." "

……

"I'm sorry, please forgive Leer!"

The priest pressed Leer's head and bowed his head to apologize to Lorenno. The half-elf didn't care about this little thing. He looked at the two of them and asked, "Which of you is the elder sister and who is the younger sister?"

"Huh? Can't you tell? Of course I am the sister." The thief was reluctant after hearing this. No matter who looked at her, she was still the sister.

"Who said that? Obviously I am the sister. I used to cook for you..."

Seeing the two people starting to quarrel because of her words, Lorenno looked at the door, and two more people came. A man and a woman. Two warriors wearing heavy armor entered the house. When they saw several young children, they did not show disdain. The female warrior He said boldly: "Hello everyone, I am Laura and he is Drox."

Lorenno looked at their fingers. He had the same ring on the ring finger of his right hand. They seemed to be a husband and wife team. The five of them did not talk to each other. They were going to wait for everyone to arrive before introducing themselves. Within 10 minutes, the closed door was pushed open again. A woman with short brown hair and a gentle smile walked in and said hello to everyone: "Hello everyone, I am Mira."

She looked at the seat, and finally nodded to Lorenno and asked if he could sit next to her. The half-elf moved over to let her sit down. The team members were all present, and the six of them observed each other. In the end, Mira was the first to speak.

Chapter 50 Team Up

"My name is Mira. I am a level 10 assassin. I am looking for a way to break through to the intermediate level. You can leave the assassination to me."

Someone started to communicate much more smoothly. The female warrior patted her shy husband on the shoulder and said: "I am Laura, and this is my husband Drox. I am a highly aggressive level 8 warrior, and he focuses on defense." A level 7 fighter."

Ophelia was about to speak, but the thief Leer covered her mouth and introduced the two of them first, putting himself on the stronger side: "I am a level 9 thief Leer who is good at disarming traps. She is my sister Ophelia, who believes in tranquility. A level 5 cleric.”

The two warriors looked happy. Priests who are adventurers are rare. Spellcasters generally do not join low-level adventure groups. Among them, mages and warlocks are because the price is not enough. They prefer to directly accept employment from employers or tasks issued by the Mage Association. Priests and druids generally follow the team in the temple or the team they are familiar with. Priests with Tranquility can say that they can rest assured to be in the front.

Upon hearing the introduction, Lorenno recalled the Serenity's message.

[Edath, whose titles are the goddess of water songs, the Serenity, the green goddess, and the mother of water, has a emblem of a sky-blue disk surrounded by green ferns. 】

[She is the guardian of the Druid forest and a pacifist. Because she acts low-key, few people notice her existence. When talking about forests and nature, people will think more of the Father of Oak, Mother of the Earth or the Forest Goddess. . 】

The half-elf came to his senses and said: "I am Lorenno, a level 2 ranger."

After hearing her professional level, the two warriors couldn't help showing contempt in their eyes, but Leer stood up suddenly and shouted in disbelief: "Level 2? Are you kidding me?"

After dodging her attack, he easily grabbed her arm. Is this Level 2? !Only a ghost can believe it!

"But I am a half-elf, so Miss Birrell should be stronger."

Lorenno started to make nonsense, and the purple-haired girl was a little angry after hearing this: "Even if I haven't gone to school, I have seen ordinary people among half-elves. They are just a little better than us."

After hearing the conversation between the two, others realized that either Leer was lying about his strength, or Lorenno was lying about his strength. However, looking at the angry expression on the thief girl's face, everyone still preferred Lorenno to be more than level 2.

"Okay, okay, just lie. Half-elves really have to be careful when going out."

The female warrior Laura doesn't care about people hiding their strength. It's better to say that this is just right. After all, they are only doing low-level tasks, and the money will be distributed after they come back. There must be nothing to be targeted by ordinary professionals like them. The stronger the strength, the more tasks. The smoother it will be.

Seeing that everyone knew each other, Mira turned her head and smiled and said: "Shall we leave now? If it's late, we can come back directly."

"Okay, let's go in our carriage."

The male and female warriors stood up, apparently intending to seize the dominant position in the team. The remaining four people had no objection, and followed the two people out of the dispatch office to a simple but sturdy carriage, which was already filled with travel and camping equipment. Pastor Ophelia and Leer were also carrying big bags of things they needed. The four of them couldn't help but look at the only person present who didn't have a bag.

"Don't you two bring anything?" Leer asked in surprise.

So she didn't know that what she stole was a dimensional bag.

Lorenno glanced at Mira and shook the dimensional bag: "I have a dimensional bag."

After hearing the explanation, the four of them were stunned, and couldn't help but wonder if this half-elf was a child of a nobleman out for fun.

"Don't get me wrong," Lorenno pulled out the standard sacred long sword from his dimensional bag and explained to the shocked people, "You should have heard that there is a cult in Cardinal City in recent days.

To cause chaos, this sword and dimensional bag are rewards given to me by the Church of Endless Light. I have done some great things. "

"Haha, that's where it comes from."

The couple smiled awkwardly and put away their contempt. Mira, who also didn't bring anything, shook the bag with the same movement before everyone asked questions: "I am also a dimensional bag. You can treat me as a rich kid."

The relationship between the two teammates was so big this time... The couple looked at each other helplessly.

After dealing with the resource issue, the couple drove in front. The four of them sat on the back of the carriage and staggered out of Crystal City. The thief and the priest stared at the two people opposite and whispered to each other. Lorenno glanced at the car. In the external environment, sometimes she would openly observe the assassin beside her, but Mira would just give her a smile in return.

She could roughly discern the actual combat capabilities of the two warriors, the priest and the thief, but for the assassin, the half-elf girl was somewhat unable to see through them.

……

"This is where the miners saw the kobolds."

The car stopped on a dirt road full of wheel marks. The six people got out and looked around. Lorenno's nose was slightly raised, so of course she didn't "smell" anything. She had never seen a kobold, so she didn't know what the smell was like. Yes, it is definitely not as recognizable as the breath of the lower world.

"I'll look for clues. You guys wait for my news first."

Squatting down and looking at the ground, Lorenno asked several people for their opinions. They nodded in agreement. The wild was the ranger's home field, and there was no reason to refuse, not to mention she was still a half-elf.

The half-elf girl closed her eyes and chose a direction to enter the forest based on her feelings. She walked on the moist soil while her sister's voice rang in her heart.

[No, try not to rely on my power. You'd better try to feel nature. The power of half-elves has not been fully developed. Childhood injuries, traverser attacks, and suppression of the demon suppression zone still have a lot of impact on us. 】

"I know, sister, you don't have to remind me all the time."

Lorenno responded, reaching out and stroking the bark of the tree, feeling the subtle "emotions" from it.

Not long after, the half-elf girl stood in front of a pile of feces. She squatted down and used a branch to open it. There were some undigested bones and a large number of herbs. She initially judged that they were carnivorous species, because most of the plants were not digested. Absorption part.

After walking a few steps, Lorenno became serious. About two meters away from the first pile of feces, another pile with similar conditions appeared. It must have been excreted by different individuals of the same species. She began to be wary of her surroundings. After a while, she was sure that there was a group gathering. Here, after all, the piles on the ground are hard to ignore.

Following the clues she found, she headed deep into the forest. The half-elf girl's ears swayed, and the noisy barking sound came into her ears. She immediately climbed up the tree with a serious expression and jumped to the source of the sound. After a while, she saw a bunch of short kobolds surrounding the fire. Baking something.

23...

This was not something that Lorenno could solve alone. She looked at the overcooked corpses on the grill and stepped back, away from the kobold stronghold. She immediately quickened her pace and walked back to the people. The half-elf girl told what she saw and heard. Everyone, Leer was eager to try: "It seems that it is just a small ethnic group, do you want to take this vote?"

Chapter 51 Kobolds

"I have no objection. There are no warlocks inside, and they are all low-level monsters."

Except for Lorenno and Priest Ofili, they are all low-level and higher-level people. Defeating 23 kobolds without a warlock is not a problem. It depends on whether the benefits and losses can allow the six people to take action. Mira smiled and said: " I do not have either."

The two warriors discussed for a while. The skin of the kobold is a very good material and can be used to make light armor. The 23 skins plus the dispatch office mission bring about almost 1200 gold coins. Each person can get 200 gold coins. The couple needed to maintain their heavy armor, long swords, shields and other weapons. After a total of 400 gold coins, they still had some left, and the risk was not high. They were careful with their calculations and were sure that this trip would make money, so they agreed.

The carriage was brought aside to do rough concealment work. Lorenno called a few people through the woods and came not far from the kobold camp. They were basking in the sun around the open space. The four were on guard but all of them were shaky and sleepy. .

"Don't worry, let me shoot an arrow at them first to reduce their overall combat effectiveness."

Stopping the impatient thief Leer, the half-elf girl pulled the bow string and aimed the special arrow at the gathering place of the kobolds. The arrow exploded immediately when it landed in the open space. Gray dust covered the entire area. The kobolds were awakened by the explosion. The smoke had already Spreading out, the leader-like guy looked at where Lorenno was and began to bark. The monster half-asleep picked up the weapon, inhaling the powder and feeling weak all over.

Ophelia waved her hands to release Level 1 [Disaster Spell], and the gloomy negative energy fell on the three kobolds headed by the kobold leader. Their bodies sank and were wrapped in doom. Lorenno began to shoot at the kobolds outside the dust. , block the trajectory of the action with one arrow, and hit the head with one arrow. Usually two or three arrows can kill a monster. The kobold leader roared, and after killing three compatriots, they finally began to run around with strange screams. Come.

Two strong figures suddenly sprang out from the jungle. The frightened kobold stopped in his tracks. The big sword directly cut off the neck of one of the kobolds. Laura took a deep breath and roared: "Ah!!"

【Combat Deterrence】!

The bodies of the monsters were obviously stiff, and some of their weapons had even fallen to the ground. Leer sprang out from behind Laura. Two daggers kept slicing through the throats of the kobolds, drawing blood. The leader of the kobolds shrank behind. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately called the guards around him to come forward. The guards were wearing simple clothes.
