The legendary path of the abandoned half-elf

"That's troublesome." Lorenno touched his pointed ears and frowned.

At this time, in a dilapidated old house, the blind woman threw away the blood-stained stone without even looking at her former husband. She held the beholder statue and a portrait of Lorenno wearing a wolf hat with only his eyes exposed. The package turned around and left.

The blind priest who was killed by Lorenno kept a hand. If he dies, let the trainee priest go to Cardinal City to find a higher-level priest. As long as those priests have seen Lorenno's eyes, they will know that there is something wrong. How important.

Fortunately for him, unfortunately for Lorenno, Lorenno didn't know that he was a [fanatic believer]. Despite his low strength, he was still a fanatic believer who was needed by a false god who desperately needed faith.

His evil soul will float to the lower interface (hell, abyss, etc.). After a period of time, as long as it is not captured by a demon lord, the soul of the blind priest can return to the false god he believes in. , by that time, the Eyeless False God will know the specialness of Lorenno.

This time is - one month.

Chapter 10 Rangers and Expertise

Lorenno, who was still unaware of her crisis, was standing in the hotel stretching her muscles. With the help of the temple's magic and the doctor's treatment, she was almost recovered and she didn't spend any money. He also replenished her broken dimensional bag and sundries. Just buy something else.

Sitting back on the bed, Lorenno looked at her panel, focusing on the expertise to be determined, and soon rows of expertise appeared in front of her.

Two-weapon combat, weapon focus, toughness...

The expertise that can be learned is all on it. These are displayed on the panel based on her own knowledge. There may be expertise that can be learned but she is not aware of, but even so, it is much more convenient.

Lorenno now has to think about the future. She wants to be a melee ranger, because she will take the path of a mage in the future. The long-range attack or protection level can be supplemented by spells. What she lacks is the melee level.

According to the training manual, if you want to be a melee ranger, it is best to practice [Strongness] (increase vitality) at level one to replenish life, or [Lightning Reflex] (strengthen perception) to increase dodge. ability.

As for professional expertise, there are two choices. One is [Determine the old enemy]. For example, if you choose humans as the old enemy, you will be able to better understand their weaknesses when fighting against humans.

The other is [Weak Natural Affinity], which can perform better outside the city.

"Which one should I choose..."

Lorenno thought about it, but already stretched out his hand towards the lightning reflex. The main purpose of fitness is to enhance vitality based on one's own body constitution. Although her body constitution is higher than that of ordinary people, it is not too high, so it is better to move towards agility.

Just as she was focusing on the lightning reflex, a weak voice from her soul entered her mind.

【Weak, naturally friendly and strong. 】

"Sister?!" Lorenno exclaimed in surprise, constantly calling for another relative in her body, but she fell asleep again after reminding Lorenno of the specialty she should choose, and it seemed that she had already succumbed after just spitting out a few words. No, after calling many times, Lorenno felt depressed, casually clicked on his expertise, and then left the hotel and came to the forest.

Some specialties cannot be used by clicking on them. This is not a game. Professionals still need a period of practice for the specialties to be truly born in the next five days.Lorenno wants to feel nature in the forest, exercise his body, and stimulate his potential.

Five days later in the wild forest.

Bang.

Bang.

bang...

Continuous collision sounds came from the woods. Lorenno took off her clothes in the ice and snow, only wearing a white bra and white shorts left by her mother, and kept hitting her shoulders, arms, and legs. The big tree was in the same place, and her body was stained with blood. Fortunately, there were few people here. She was not an exhibitionist, she only dressed like this for exercise.

With a pale face, she did not light the bonfire. Amidst the cold and impact, Lorenno could feel those two wonderful feelings beginning to be digested by her body, and only the last bit was left today.

boom!

When the shaky Shumu finally fell down, Lorenno took a deep breath, his complexion began to return to normal, and vigorous vitality emerged from all sides of his body.

"Acquired [Strongness]."

"In the confrontation with the cold, gain [weak cold resistance] (slightly reduce cold damage)."

These two paragraphs came to mind. It was an unexpected surprise to have weak cold resistance. Generally speaking, exercising like this would only kill people rather than gain expertise. She achieved it by just improving her fitness expertise.

Lorenno felt the sudden warmth in his body. He took out the venison and swallowed it whole. Instead of taking the opportunity to rest, he walked to sit on the ground under the still green pine trees, stimulating that wonderful feeling. If it were not for career advancement, these three people would It takes many years of practice to acquire this expertise, and now five days is almost enough.

Feeling the north wind blowing the pine trees, Lorenno's feeling gradually expanded. There was something looking at her timidly 50 meters away. Lorenno opened his eyes and saw that it was a snowshoe hare.

"Acquired [Natural Affinity]."

"Huh...fortunately I caught up."

Today is the time for merchants to go to Cardinal City to form a caravan. If you have not completed the expertise this time, you will have to complete it during the trip. After getting dressed and returning to Dogtooth Town, Lorenno rushed to the place where the merchants gathered. There were already many carriages. Together, there were also several professionals who wanted to participate in the escort work of the carriage, and Lorenno also squeezed in.

At this time, a wealthy businessman who was stroking his mustache and observing the applicants saw the short Lorenno's eyes light up and came over: "You are the Mr. Lorenno who participated in the extermination of the cultists, right?"

"it's me."

Lorenno nodded. Naturally, the transfer of the guards could not be hidden from these businessmen. The temple and the defense department here did not want to hide it. Although her name was not mentioned frequently, as a priest of the Temple of the God of Passion, It is impossible for the leader to take credit for himself - after all, there are gods in this world that are not just talked about casually.

Therefore, the credit for killing the cult priest still belongs to Lorenno. This was also known to many businessmen, so they thought of hiring her to help guard the caravan. However, no one could be found on the mountain in the past five days. Her appearance today was due to her body shape. Even though he is short, no one notices him.

The fat businessman smiled, took off his little hat and saluted: "That's great. I'm Lawrence. We are still short of caravan guards. I wonder if you are willing to do it?"

"What about remuneration?" Lorenno looked at the eager eyes around him and probably guessed that he was very popular, but... it would be troublesome to attract attention, so he unconsciously pulled up his hood.

"If there is no danger along the way, it will be 20 gold coins. If there is danger, it will be 40 gold coins." Lawrence said kindly, looking around with his small eyes and moving closer. "My personal safety and goods are intact in the danger. 60 gold coins.”

Lorenno shrugged the tip of his nose and smelled a pungent smell from Lawrence's truck, which was well covered up by the smell of rotten wood sprayed on the truck.

Is it spice?No wonder they were so cautious and gave so much money.

Lorenno nodded and whispered in the same low voice: "As long as the spices in your car are not exposed, then I only want so much, but if someone else finds out..."

Lawrence stepped back in surprise, his round belly trembling, then he gritted his teeth and leaned closer and whispered: "120 gold coins plus 2 ounces of pepper."

"Deal, I am the ranger Lorenno, please give me your advice."

Lorenno stretched out his hand and said. Lawrence, who was originally quite distressed, was overjoyed when he heard her introduction. He originally thought that Lorenno had not advanced, but he did not expect that Lorenno had become an extraordinary professional and happily welcomed her over.

Chapter 11 On the Road

At noon, the snow that had been falling continuously for a day finally stopped, and the caravan drove the carriage and started to hit the road. This time there were many more people than the caravan that came out of Demon Suppressor Town, and the long queue formed and walked around the mountain road.

"Mr. Lawrence, what kind of place is Cardinal City?" Lorenno asked curiously, sitting on the top of the carriage, looking at the front of the car and then at the back.

Lawrence said while driving the car: "Cardinal City, it is not a good place for serious small businessmen like us. We will probably be eaten with the skin and bones."

"Mr. Lorenno, do you know that because Cardinal City is very close to the edge of the national line and is located at the junction of the Empire and a Principality, the terrain is dangerous, so both the Empire and the Principality Federation need it as a buffer."

"And due to some historical reasons, this is an imperial territory in name, but in fact the laws and rules are made by the local nobles, while the empire and the principality are secretly wrestling with each other."

Lorenno pondered: "Does this mean that Cardinal City is actually similar to a small, uncontrolled country?"

"It's not a small country. It doesn't have that capability, but it can be called a local snake. Because of the three-party struggle for hegemony, Cardinal City is very chaotic, and the flow of people from various countries is also high, so it is easy to make money." Speaking of this, Luo Lens lowered his voice, "But recently I heard that it was going to defect to the Principality Federation, so I decided to take a risk and make a fortune by selling spices during this time."

"What's the reason for defecting?"

"I'm just a businessman. Who knows why?" Lawrence rolled his eyes at her.

Eye, "The rumor seems to be that the pro-federal faction among the local nobles is going to take power."

Lorenno scratched the wolf's head and continued to exercise his fingers with the coin.

In the evening, the convoy arrived at the mountain town that was necessary to go to Cardinal City. After waiting there for a while, Lorenno also participated in the mission of encircling and suppressing the goblins. He killed about 6 goblins who had become professionals and received a reward of 60 gold coins.

The goblins here are not the short black goblins in Harry Potter, but the ones with green skin and pointed ears, which are often called goblins.

First of all, they do not mate with other species, they only eat other species. Goblins are omnivores that eat anything, even the corpses of their own people. Usually there are more than 30 people in a small group, more than a dozen warriors, and the rest They are all old, weak, sick and disabled.

They give birth very quickly, similar to pigs, and can give birth to several in one litter. However, if there is not enough food around them, they will eat their own children. In terms of strength, a farmer with a manure fork can single out an ordinary goblin. Professionals among goblins are also much weaker than human professions, and they win mainly by numbers.

After solving the problem of goblins blocking the road, Lorenno sat on the top of the carriage, closed her eyes and began to meditate. This was not a technique to draw magic power from the air, it was just a way to make herself calmer, and at the same time, it allowed her to think back to her battles. Errors and Shortcomings.

By the time she woke up from her meditation, the caravan was back on the road. She was sitting on a rickety carriage. In the distance was an almost invisible mountain town. Lawrence looked into the distance and sighed: "I hope it won't happen next." Are you in any trouble?"

Lorenno stood up from the carriage, raised one leg with his hands and stood on one foot, training his balance according to the instructions in the ranger manual: "Isn't there no problem with the caravans recently? It wasn't a month ago."

"It's been a month. You know, the goblins migrated here during this month. Who knows what will happen."

Lawrence thought pessimistically, Lorenno didn't say anything, and frowned to control his balance.

With Lorenno's agility, the ground will definitely not shake, but it is a bit difficult to control under the shaking of the carriage. The attributes on the panel are only the theoretical maximum values. Lorenno still has a lot to show, everything she has done now Training is all about maximizing the use of physical attributes. Only in this way can you break through the limits.

In the evening, the convoy came to camp in a wide area with a slightly frozen lake on the side. Lorenno jumped off the roof of the car and went into the woods. He took off his wolfskin cloak and put on a black robe, wearing a long-necked shirt. With his face half covered, he ran from the bare woods to the river to wash his cloak.

"Lawrence! Is that kid too ugly?" The caravan members who were traveling with him had never seen Lorenno's appearance before, so they asked curiously.

"I haven't seen it either." Lawrence shook his head. Anyway, he felt that people whose faces were covered like this were either beautiful or ugly, and he didn't subconsciously think about other races.

Lorenno washed his cloak and hung it in a place where the fire would not burn. He pulled out two long swords and began to maintain the weapons. He took out sword oil from the dimensional bag to lubricate and prevent rust. At the same time, he was thinking about when he would get the magic weapons.

Ordinary weapons and armor need to be maintained at all times to ensure that they do not rust even if there is no battle. Magic weapons are different. Except for repairs after battles, oxidation is particularly slow at other times.

After finishing what should be done in an orderly manner, Lorenno breathed in the cold air and looked into the distance. Although it was still snowing heavily a few days ago, it was almost late winter according to the time. The weather was getting better and better. There were already people on the other side of the lake. Many animals were bowing their heads to drink water after hibernation. This kind of silence made her very comfortable, and she even forgot that there were coins in her hands, but they were still flying, even faster and faster. She didn't come back to her senses until the prompt to improve her expertise appeared.

"Acquired the specialty [Dexterous Fingers]."

Holding the coins suddenly, Lorenno tried to take out five coins one by one and stood them on his fingertips. They kept shaking but never fell down. He nodded with satisfaction and was ready to start the next stage of practice. He jumped up and broke off two coins. A branch, draw a circle with one hand and a square with the other.

The specialty she decided to learn was [Two-Weapon Combat] (the attack of the off-hand weapon is more powerful and precise, and will not affect the attack of the main-hand weapon). While practicing this specialty in the early stage, she can also practice the specialty [Two-purpose] at the same time ( You can set aside a part of your work to think about other aspects).

Looking at the crooked circles and squares on the ground, Lorenno kicked the failed ones away with her feet and continued practicing. Time passed by like this, until the bright moonlight shone, and she threw the branches back to the tent and left them where they were. Regular circles and rectangles.

Nothing major happened on the rest of the way. Lorenno practiced her two-weapon fighting skills every day. Until six days later, she covered the sun with her hands, and a city loomed in the distance. The caravan finally arrived at the chaotic junction - Red Bird City.

Lorenno was carrying a dimensional bag. The letter Owulf asked her for had not been damaged in the previous battle. She also had great expectations for the person she was going to meet. Could it be a legend?

Chapter 12 Endless Light

"Wow -" Lorenno sighed.

Getting closer to Cardinal City, Lorenno saw that its city walls were completely different from the adobe buildings outside the town. Neat stones were stacked together to form a majestic wall.

From time to time a trace of magic flowed through.

Lorenno exclaimed: "Although I heard the master talk about it, I didn't expect that the city wall is really a magic item."

"Of course, this is the foundation for Cardinal City to not be destroyed at the junction," Lawrence said with excitement in his eyes, thinking about how he had made a lot of money, "Also, let me tell you before entering the city. For a moment, don’t go to the east or the middle.”

"Why?" Lorenno returned from the exercise position and sat down.

Lawrence pointed at Cardinal City and said: "The far east is the slums, where many cults are hidden, and in the middle is where the nobles of Cardinal City are. Nobles, I think you should understand that if you are ugly, They'll find a reason to beat you up, which is fine, but it's worse if you're pretty, and they don't care if you're a boy or a girl."

Lorenno nodded and pulled down his wolfskin hat further: "Speaking of which, are there other races in Cardinal City?"

"Yes, there will be dwarf blacksmiths, half-elf tailors, or slaves of various races."

Lawrence looked back and roughly guessed that he was not a human. He looked like a dwarf but it didn't look like he was a dwarf. Maybe he was a halfling?

Entering the checkpoint, Lawrence showed the travel pass to the guard with ease. There was a small bag of gold coins hidden underneath. The guard weighed it with his hands and smiled with satisfaction, without even looking at Lorenno's risk certificate.

"Hey~, in this world, having money is a hard rule."

Lawrence sighed. After entering the door, Lorenno jumped out of the car and threw a bag of gold coins into his hands. The fat businessman said to her, "Well, nothing happened on the road, so there are only 30 gold coins."

"Isn't it 20?"

Lawrence waved and left: "The rest is just to make friends!"

Looking at the carriage going further and further away, Lorenno's orange eyes looked at the bustling city and took a deep breath - there was no smell of feces and urine in the small town, but there was a rotten smell floating far away.

Walking on the crowded street, Lorenno looked at the pillars everywhere along the way, wondering if they were some kind of magical devices. At the same time, he discovered that there were also half-elves and elven residents, but humans were looking at them with alien eyes. Looking at them strengthened her determination not to expose her identity.

Based on his feeling, he found someone who was easier to talk to and asked the butcher who had a stern face: "How can I get to the Church of Endless Light?"

"Go straight, turn left, and turn right at the fork in the road." He said in a muffled voice.

Lorenno thanked her and went as he asked. Suddenly she reached out and grabbed the person who was reaching for the dimensional bag at her waist. She looked at the thief who was taller than herself speechlessly: "What do you want to do?"

She is not blind, how could she not see it? Is the security in Cardinal City really that bad?

The caught thief looked like he was not afraid of her at all: "You are a foreign adventurer. I suggest you let me go."

Lorenno didn't stop. He grabbed the thief, held down his shoulders and arms and broke them. With a scream, the thief fell to his knees. The half-elf girl said coldly: "Be careful next time. Short people are not so easy to bully."

Glancing at the thief's helper who was approaching, Lorenno slowly left the place and tensed his body. Three or four malicious eyes were observing him. The reason why he acted was because he believed that as long as he showed his timidity, there would be more troubles behind him.

After she left, a man walked from a very far away place. He helped the thief help his dislocated hand and put it back on and asked, "How was it?"

"Hi~~~, he's a professional," the thief said, recalling the face he saw before and licking the corner of his mouth, "I saw the face, he's a top-notch product."

"Go, go back and talk slowly."

The behavior of the two people did not attract the attention of other people. To passers-by, they just saw someone stealing something and being caught.

After a while, the two of them walked into the dark underground, informed the man guarding the iron gate and walked in. Violent cheers rang out from outside!

At the front and bottom of the room is a huge arena, where two professionals are fighting, surrounded by a sea of ​​people.
