The legendary path of the abandoned half-elf

"What's wrong? Are you afraid to go out? Or are you saying you don't want to go out?" A merchant asked curiously when he saw that Lorenno had not taken the first step.

Lorenno suddenly smiled and shook his head, stepping out of the magic suppression zone. When she completely left the area where magic was silent, all the stable cells in her body became active, causing her whole body to tremble, and her body, which had not been affected by magic for 15 years, began to produce... Slow and steady change.

The tingling feeling went away as quickly as it came. After a slight pause, Lorenno continued to follow the carriage. He reached out and took out his dimensional bag and opened it. It had about 8 cubic meters of space. Lorenno simply threw away all the debris. After entering, I stretched my arms and my steps became much lighter.

The journey today was uneventful. As night fell, the caravans stopped moving and each set up a bonfire to gather around. Lorenno sat in the corner and read the training manual, his bright yellow pupils shining brightly in the dark night.

……

Seeing this, Lorenno put down the book and decided to go to the blacksmith shop in Dogtooth Town to find a suitable weapon. Then he took out a gold coin from his pocket and tried to turn it over in his palm according to the illustration in the book, and kept falling. She caught it and practiced until late at night. When her vigil time ended and she changed shifts, she jumped from the branch and got into her tent.

"D...a, we can't have this child!" an old voice said.

"But she is my child!!" A vague female voice.

"She is also that person's child. Do you want to abandon...?" an old voice said.

"...Ke...,...take her..." A vague female voice.

"I'm sorry, kid, I can only listen to the elders' words. If I want to blame, it's your other identity..." A male voice sighed.

……

……

Lorenno struggled in the darkness, feeling colder and colder. Suddenly a shout woke her up.

"Enemy attack!!!"

Having a nightmare, she suddenly jumped up from the ground, cautiously pulled out two hand axes and rushed out of the tent. All the extraordinary professionals had already come out early. Her bright eyes scanned the surroundings. On the snow-white ground, a group of running white figures came closer and closer. The closer.

It was a pack of hungry white wolves, their eyes flashing with crazy green light, sweeping in like an avalanche.

If it were summer, the wolves with sufficient food would not attack the caravan. Unfortunately, perhaps because of the shortage of food this winter, they had to attack the caravan in order to reduce the casualties of the group, both to obtain food and to reduce the number of the group. quantity.

In this kind of conflict, the old, weak, sick, and even some young wolves will die. This will ensure that even if they can't get much food, the population will be reduced, making it easier in the future.

Fortunately, the mercenaries hired by the caravan this time were experienced, and the merchants also knew the importance, so they asked the professionals raised at home to follow the command and step forward.

"Lorenno..."

The businessman Lorenno was following looked at her nervously. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, I promise you, but all the profits will belong to me, right?"

"Yes, I can collect the pelts you sell."

People who followed the caravan either paid money to be protected or did their part. Lorenno did not pay two gold coins for protection. Since he was allowed, he naturally promised to be a member of the protector with the merchant.

After hearing the merchant's affirmation, Lorenno stepped on the slippery ground, ran straight to the wolves in full view of the crowd, and directly joined the hunting caravan escort.

"Is he dying!"

The mercenary captain who looked down upon Lorenno, a little man, cursed secretly and signaled the others to prepare for rescue. There were not many white wolves in this group, but they could still save this arrogant little guy...?

Everyone who was a little worried at first saw a surprised scene. Lorenno rushed into the wolves. The wolf skin she wore made her a target in the eyes of the white wolves, and they pounced on her one by one.

She gripped the ax tightly, her muscles tensed, and faced their attacks without panic. With the help of her specialty [Wild Intuition], every white wolf's attack was just a hair away.

Lorenno found the gap between their attacks and hit the old and weak white wolf on the waist with an axe. The clear sound of bone cracking was heard. She casually took off the wolf's ears and stepped on it to quickly retreat, dodging the flying white wolf. Wolf.

She had killed the wolf independently and could use her ears as proof when the time came.

"What are you doing in a daze, keep attacking!"

Seeing Lorenno's experienced skills, the mercenary captain split the head of a white wolf with a machete and slapped the novice mercenary on the head. He thought about his chances of winning against Lorenno. As a five-year-old A level [Warrior], he suddenly realized that if he did not count the killing experience, he only narrowly defeated him. No matter in terms of basic attributes or combat experience, Lorenno seemed to be much stronger than him.

Attributes are not improved casually. A single attribute represents an exponential increase. When the mercenary captain went to the guild for testing, his attributes only reached 16 for his physical constitution, and the rest did not exceed 14 points.

"Ow--!!"

The roar of the wolf king hiding in the dark sounded, and the wolves gradually retreated. The caravans began to count their losses. Except for one or two horses on the edge of the carriage that were dragged away, no one died. The wounded began to clean up their wounds skillfully. The merchant saw It was fine and we returned to our respective tents.

Lorenno put away his ax and started looking for trophies with the wolf ears he had cut off. There were no other ax users in the caravan, which saved Lorenno from arguing with others. After finding the prey he had killed, he would Their most precious furs are cut and stacked together to be sold to merchants together tomorrow morning.

When everyone packed up and hit the road in the early morning, Lorenno found the merchant with six wolf skins. He looked at the extremely complete furs that had been cut and did not lower the price. It was not that he didn't want to, but mainly because there was a group of colleagues watching eagerly: "Two A gold coin and a wolf skin, okay?"

"it is good."

Lorenno didn't know the market price and didn't want to bargain. He took the twelve gold coins and put them into his dimensional bag. He took out two coins and turned them over between his fingers.

Chapter 6 The Eyeless One

五

Queen of Heaven, the caravan finally resisted Dogtooth Town.

Although Lorenno was already prepared, he couldn't help frowning when he saw the extremely dirty town in front of him. He stuffed the incense pills only used in swamps into his nose to barely stop the smell of feces and urine, like amethyst eyes. He looked at the small town from under his wolfskin hood.

Compared to the calm and orderly Suppressing Demon Town, there are a lot of slender people here. The merchants walked in from the main entrance with a calm look. The merchant who accepted Lorenno saw her puzzled look and said funnyly: "You suppressing demons." The Demon Town can’t be called a town, it’s not an exaggeration to say it’s a retreat for blockbuster legends. There are about ten legends that I can hear about, and an ordinary town outside may only have one high-level one.”

"What about those legends?"

"People are going to higher places. Many of them are going to big cities."

Lorenno was thoughtful, and a creepy feeling came over her. She raised her head and looked around, focusing on the most suspicious person.

The person she targeted was a thin woman with very cloudy eyes. She must be a blind person. She exuded an aura that disgusted her. When Lorenno looked over, she immediately turned her head and hid in the alley. middle.

After learning from Ben what the half-elves would suffer after being captured, Lorenno naturally became very vigilant. Looking at the ax on his waist that had a few holes missing from the battle, he decided to go to the blacksmith shop first and asked the merchant about the blacksmith. Leaving the team at the shop location, the place this caravan is going to next is not the direction Lorenno is going to. Her goal is to go straight and get close to the imperial city. The next location is the big city [Cardinal City], and at the same time, help Mr. Owulf delivers the letter.

Before that, we have to wait for the caravan heading to Cardinal City and... take advantage of this free time to upgrade your professional level and become a true ranger (level 1).

Arriving at the blacksmith shop, Lorenno felt the rising temperature and walked in. A strong old man was pounding pig iron, and kitchen utensils and farm tools were hung on the wall.

"Boss, do you have weapons here?" Lorenno asked.

The old man kept moving his hands and said, "It can be customized. What kind of weapon do you want?"

Lorenno is going to try [Wild Forest Swordsmanship], and before that, he needs to find a suitable weapon for himself.

"Are there any ready-made weapons here, even rusty ones?"

The blacksmith stopped what he was doing and looked at Lorenno's wolfskin coat and two axes. Knowing that this kid really wanted to buy weapons, he nodded and said, "Wait for me."

After saying that, he asked the apprentice to continue forging. He went inside and took out a few weapons and threw them on the counter. Lorenno picked up the weapons and tried them one by one. Finally, he selected a long sword and prepared a dagger.

"Two imperial-style long swords and a dagger."

"A total of twelve gold coins, six deposits, and it will take about half a month."

Lorenno handed the deposit to the blacksmith. There was finally a smile on the old man's serious face. He slapped the apprentice on the head and said, "Put that piece of iron aside. Let's make the guest's weapon first. Then put the furnace into the furnace." Fire up!"

The half-warm flame was added with good coal, and the apprentice blew it hard. The flame burned fiercely. The blacksmith took off his shirt and exposed his strong shoulders and began to make weapons.

Lorenno also left the blacksmith shop and started looking for the hotel where he was staying today. He avoided the filth on the ground and finally saw the only temple in the town.

"The God of Suffering." She looked up at the sculpture of this god and could feel the majestic aura.

Ilmat, the God of Suffering, is a god of the lawful good camp. His main responsibility is to protect the poor, the elderly, the victims, the sick, etc. You can rest assured that the environment around his temple will definitely not let people turn some darkness Things are placed around the temple.

Lorenno looked at the temple of Ilmat and found a nearby hotel to stay in. As soon as he entered the room, he took out the training manual and began to memorize the key points of Huanglin swordsmanship.

[This sword technique can be adjusted according to the user, such as the roots are stable and tough, the leaves are flying and elegant, and the branches are stretched and opened...]

[In history, only a few hundred people have all the characteristics. Please don't think that you are really a genius and can learn it completely, unless you are really suitable for this swordsmanship. 】

Picking up a branch picked up on the road, Lorenno followed the training manual and started to learn the first step in the direction of fast attack, waiting for the weapon to be completed while learning.

Before the weapon was completed, Lorenno had already made up his mind not to go out. The blind woman gave her a very bad premonition.

"Has my identity as a half-elf been exposed? Or am I just a trafficker because I look good?" Lorenno said to himself, waving the branches faster and faster.

In the basement of a house far away from the Temple of the God of Passion, several blind people in black robes gathered here. Only one stood in front of a small statue, and their identities could be seen - he It's the priests, they're the believers.

This statue is of a beholder, but the beholder's eyes have been completely gouged out, and blood drips from the huge eye sockets. It seems that it was poured on it later. Next to the statue, there are clean eyeballs.

"Oh~...Emily," the voice as old as a vulture was very evil, "You mean, there is a person with unparalleled eyes that you have ever seen?"

He serves the [Eyeless God] and is looking for beautiful eyes to fill the void. For these country people, the priests have no hope. Do they know what beautiful eyes are?

"

Yes, great priest," the woman said tremblingly, "I have never seen such beautiful eyes, like purple... purple mulberry flowers, but as clear and transparent as lake water. "

"Oh?! You mean his eyes are translucent?!"

The priest immediately became interested. As a cultist, he did not have a high status or strength. It was only because he was a fanatical believer that he was placed in this safe place where he could not do anything for his master.

If only he could find an eye that the great Eyeless God liked...

"Do you know where he is now?"

"I saw with my own eyes that he entered the hotel next to the Temple of the God of Passion."

"Very good, take me to see now. If what you said is the same, the Lord will reward you with more wealth. If what you said is false..." the priest said sternly, "I will take it back for the Lord." Grant your vision!”

Snapped!

Lorenno looked at the branch he had broken, stood up and stretched, walked downstairs to the hotel and ordered hot soup and white bread from the boss, and sat in the corner to eat.

Many people noticed this strange guy wearing a wolf cloak, but because no one was doing anything around the Temple of the God of Passion, and the two worn-out axes on his waist seemed very troublesome.

Just as Lorenno finished eating and wiped her mouth and was about to go upstairs, the creepy feeling hit her again. She looked outside the hotel with wide eyes, and the malicious eyes disappeared. The girl's heart beat violently, and she gritted her teeth and walked up When I went upstairs, my bad premonition came true.

Outside the hotel, the dark pupils of the priest of the Eyeless God were burning with fanaticism. There was no mistaking it, those were the eyes he was mainly looking for! !As long as you get them, you will definitely be appreciated by the Lord! ! !

The fanaticism calmed down and he began to think about how to catch the sacrifice hidden in the cloak. The priests of the Eyeless God all have spell-like abilities similar to simple reconnaissance. It can be seen that he is not a second-level priest who can solve it. of.

After thinking for a moment, the priest decided to ask for foreign aid from other towns. He could not invite anyone higher than him, otherwise the bulk would be taken away by others, so he could only invite level 1 professional believers, and it was best to invite a few more.

"Inform all believers to keep an eye on him and he will be offered as a sacrifice to our Lord in fifteen days."

The priest stared at the woman and said, she realized that she was being asked to be the manager, and she was immediately overjoyed: "Yes, Lord Priest!"

Chapter 7 The first confrontation

Lorenno leaned against the window and looked down. There were five people who had been monitoring the hotel for the past half month. They spent the most time looking at the front entrance, the back door and the window where she was.

It had been half a month since she came to Dogtooth Town. Every time she went out, she would be followed. In order not to alert others, she did not tell the God of Suffering Temple. After all, she didn’t know what the other side was doing. If they pretended not to know anything about the temple, they would not know anything. It's hard to catch them, and the magic to detect evil may not be useful. The bad things the minions did may not be enough to be judged as very evil, and they may just be captured and imprisoned for two days.

During the period when Lorenno was being followed, she often walked around the town. She found that every time she wanted to leave the town, someone would leave, probably to report a message, so she did not act rashly. She had already decided in her heart that she would wait until the weapons were ready before taking action. These guys are human traffickers.

Now, since the caravan going to Cardinal City will arrive in five days, Lorenno has no way to follow the caravan directly and can only confront them head-on. Today is the time to obtain weapons.

When they came to the blacksmith shop, the blacksmith who was working on a farm tool saw her coming. He walked into the house and handed two standard long swords and a dagger to Lorenno. Lorenno pulled out the sword and nodded with a flick of his finger to express that it was okay. , after handing over the remaining gold coins, he walked slowly on the road, constantly turning back and forth into remote alleys.

Delaying it was not an option, Lorenno was ready to take action as soon as he got the weapon!

The few believers responsible for surveillance began to feel anxious as they watched Lorenno disappear and reappear. They cursed the man for sneaking into the alley, and everyone gradually separated to look for him.

When all the companions separated, Lorenno, who had already jumped into the tree at some point, jumped from a high place. Before the civilian could react, the knife was already placed on his kidney.

Feeling his tension, Lorenno said in a hoarse voice: "What do you do?"

The believer stiffened his body and said with lack of confidence: "I can't...ahhhhhh!!"

Before he even finished speaking, Lorenno stabbed his hand with a knife. The believer fell to the ground screaming, and the dagger was already placed on his heart: "I wonder what it would be like to pierce the heart and then pull out the dagger." What does it look like?"

The poor man who was originally a fringe believer couldn't help shouting: "I said, I am a believer of the Eyeless God!"

Eyeless god?

Lorenno searched in her mind with confusion, and suddenly it dawned on her. She remembered that the Eyeless God was actually a dead-eye tyrant who had advanced from a beholder. He was just a [false god]. It seemed that his eyes were unknown. Which demon lord can only become an eyeless god by gouging it out? He cannot even become a false god.

Both his pastor and preparatory pastor must be blind, but the believers do not require it, so this person's eyes are intact at the moment, and according to this detailed book on gods there, this dead-eyed tyrant is trying to restore his one eye. Collect eyeballs.

Touching the corners of his eyes, Lorenno also knew that they were targeting him.
