The legendary path of the abandoned half-elf

"Boss Kevin." The thief with sly eyebrows smiled condescendingly. In front of him was a man with his back to him, holding two gorgeous women beside him.

A rough voice sounded, and the man said lazily: "Mouse, are you here to pay off a debt?"

"Yes, boss, I saw it on the road..."

The mouse told the well-known underground gangster in Cardinal City what he saw and heard. Kevin touched his beard and said, "Are you sure he's from outside?"

The person on the side said: "Boss, I saw it too, they came with the caravan from outside the city."

"Okay, if it's true then forgive your debt."

……

……

On the other side, in the basement of the slum, the cultists of the Eyeless God gathered together. When the chief priest here heard that Lorenno had arrived in the town, he waved his hand and ordered everyone to rush over and make sure to catch him.

The blind priest looked at the two beholder statues in front of him and knelt down devoutly. His fervent belief made the statues glow evilly.

Following the guidance of passers-by, Lorenno came all the way to the junction of the inner area and the outer area. A huge temple built of white marble stood in the most conspicuous place. The light emitted made everyone have to notice it, and the surrounding The pillars are engraved with sun patterns.

This is the temple of the endless light, and the pattern of the sun is its symbol and emblem. Compared with the peaceful and tolerant temple and majesty of Ilmat, Lorenno felt something different from the temple of the endless light. Order and kindness

She couldn't help but think of the introduction to Him in the book.

[The Endless Light, according to research, was originally the Lord of the Dawn "Lathander (Lansander)", and later exchanged priesthoods with the God of Justice "Tyr", and after undergoing unknown changes, became the eternal light now. 】

[As the former ancient sun god, Amaunatar (orderly neutral) - Lathander (neutral good), and now the Endless Light (orderly good), it seems that even the gods may have been closest to him Even the former Earth Mother Shantia didn't know why He had undergone such a big change. 】

[Some scholars speculate that just like the eternal "bottomless abyss", the Endless Light was born to fight against darkness, evil and chaos, and His constant war against hell and abyss should also prove this. According to Statistics show that the outward attacks from the abyss and hell have been gradually decreasing in the past thousand years. 】

[Travelers in the multiverse believe that the changes in the Endless Light, as well as the changes in the gods in the multiverses who hold the same priesthood and are in similar positions as it, all represent the integration of "goodness" and "order" in the universe. 】

[As a reborn ancient god, he may hold the priesthoods of order, kindness, rebirth, revival, light, hope, change, creativity, law, contract, and stars. Some people also doubt all priesthoods related to "order" and "goodness". He was in contact with them all, but not even the gods noticed. 】

[His priest camp is orderly good, neutral good, and orderly neutral. 】

In general, there are definitely no bad people under this god. He allows his subordinates to enjoy themselves, but does not allow corruption. It doesn't matter if they use their wrong ideas. As long as they do it, they will be expelled from the church at the least, or punished for a hundred years at the worst.

Lorenno quickly walked into the temple. The temple was not as quiet as Ilmat's temple. Maybe it was because the Endless Light was a very enthusiastic god, and his temple did not prohibit loud conversations.

Looking around, Lorenno quickly found a priest.

Compared with other busy priests, the priest lady stood in the corner of the temple looking very idle, so Lorenno walked up and asked: "Is Bishop Sal ​​here? There is [Dragon Slayer] Owulf here to help. A letter from him.”

"Huh? Dragon Slayer?!"

The young priest turned back, her long platinum hair brushing the tip of Lorenno's nose, giving her the scent of iris. The girl who was one-third taller than her leaned over, her face full of curiosity: "You mean The Dragon Slayer of Demon Suppressor Town?"

Only then did Lorenno see the girl's appearance clearly. Some of her platinum curly hair was exposed from the hood, her blue eyes were shining with curiosity, and the golden patterns outlined in the corners of her eyes made the girl more sacred.

"Yes, I'm from Demon Suppression Town."

Lorenno took out the envelope with Owulf's mark and showed it to the girl. On the mark was a broken sword held by a dragon's claws, showing how ferocious it was.

After seeing the mark, the girl did not touch the envelope, but pulled Lorenno and whispered: "Come in with me."

Walking to the back of the temple, there was plenty of magic surrounding it. The trees planted here were very prosperous, as if spring had arrived early. Lorenno subconsciously recognized the past, but found that there were many unfamiliar plants.

The girl asked her to wait in the courtyard. Within a moment, an old man with white hair but very energetic walked out of the deeper room briskly, followed by the priest girl.

"Young gentleman, are you delivering the letter for that stubborn old man?" The old man raised his eyebrows when he saw the envelope in Lorenno's hand, and asked with a smile.

"Yes, you are Bishop Sal."

Lorenno handed the letter to Thrall respectfully, and after making sure that there were people in the temple everywhere, he took off his wolf-headed hood, and his slightly sharp ears trembled when he felt the cold air.

Half-elf?

Sal looked at Lorenno in surprise, but he was not too surprised. The girl priest on the side was different. He was only interested in her at first, but after seeing Lorenno's true appearance, he immediately became very interested.

With stars twinkling in her eyes, the girl who was very fond of young and cute things pulled Lorenno and said intimately: "Little guy, what is your name? I am Alice, you can call me sister Alice."

Lorenno took a step back, and the name the time traveler called this kind of person flashed in his mind - it seemed to be a loi control, so he said politely: "Hello, Alice, my name is Lorenno."

Alice's eyes showed doubts about the name. She grabbed Lorenno's hand and looked at the bishop. When she found that she was still reading the letter, she said: "Bishop, I will take the little guy to lunch first."

"You go first."

After getting the answer, Alice said to Lorenno: "Lorenno, you have come so far and you haven't eaten yet. Why don't you come with me to have something to eat first?"

"Okay."

Lorenno nodded obediently. She also wanted to ask how to borrow the Eye of All Knowledge faster.

Chapter 13 Finding Missions

In the warm room, there was beef stew with potatoes and a pile of cabbage in front of Lorenno. She picked up the noodles with a fork in her hand and wolfed them down.

This is the exclusive canteen for the clergy of the Temple of Endless Light. Appetizers, main dishes, staples, desserts, etc. are all available. They are prepared by the chef and placed neatly in front of the counter. They are all kept warm and fresh by magic. It is not like what the time traveler remembers. The cafeteria in Chugao is also lacking in quality. Even Lorenno, who doesn't pay much attention to food, can tell that there is no smell in the food in the cafeteria.

"In other words, your adoptive mother asked you to work for the empire and borrow the Mirror of All Knowledge after you became a legend?"

Alice watched Lorenno eat with her hands on her chin, and at the same time listened to her talk about the reasons why she went out to take risks at such a young age.

Ben told her that by becoming a legend and working for the empire, she could get the opportunity to use it in advance. With Lorenno's qualifications, it was inevitable to become a legend step by step, but the time was not certain. He couldn't wait for five or ten years. I won't tell you the other methods at all, I just say that other methods are also related to rapid advancement, and rapid advancement is a taboo for geniuses.

The levels in this world are not only important at the beginning (level 1), intermediate (11), high (16), and legendary (21). As long as they are at the same stage, it depends on who has more expertise, stronger affinity, and worse. One or two levels is not a problem at all, the legend just depends on whose physical strength is stronger.

Expertise is the foundation. Rapid advancement is equivalent to using the Foundation-Building Pill in the fairy tales to advance to the foundation-building stage if you haven't built the foundation well. Those with poor talent can do it, but those with good talent will completely destroy their foundation.

Lorenno knew it was for her own good, but...

"Well, so I want to know if there is any way to get the opportunity to use the Mirror of All Knowledge before the legend." Lorenno nodded obediently and kept moving his hands.

Alice hesitated to speak. Although she knew a way, it was as difficult as ordinary people becoming legends, and it might also be dangerous to the cute little Lorenno in front of her. No matter from a rational or emotional point of view, she They all felt that they shouldn’t tell her, besides, there was such a sentence in the creed of Endless Light.

[I really hope that my followers can understand what a lie is, what a white lie is, what a white lie can bring, and whether the person lying to needs a white lie. 】

Anyway, Alice's own understanding is that God let her watch the choice, at least now she feels that she cannot let Lorenno suffer because of herself.

"No, although I also want to help you, I'm sorry." Alice, who took off her hood, stroked Lorenno's hair and comforted her. Many people looked here with different expressions.

Lorenno stopped eating. He knew from the slow pause that Alice was lying. She was not willing to give up this opportunity. She had to find out another way!

She controlled her ears to droop down, and looked at Alice with gleaming eyes. She bit her lower lip and asked in a pitiful, waxy voice: "Really? Is there really no way?"

puff.

Alice felt an arrow hit her knee and said firmly: "There is no other way."

It seems that more efforts are needed.

Lorenno hesitated for a moment, raised his ears upward, and his slightly sharp ears trembled: "I know Sister Alice has a way, even if I touch my ears for you?"

"Oh, okay, okay, I see you are so sincere." Feeling the warmth at the tip of her nose, Alice covered her nose and relaxed. Finally, seeing her pitiful look, she let go - not because she wanted to touch her ears or anything.

Reaching out to touch Lorenno's ears, Alice calmed down and said, "That method also has a prerequisite, which is to become a high-level person."

"It's already very simple compared to the legend."

"Yeah, it's very simple compared to legend, but this is just the premise," Alice continued, "The capital of the empire holds a large-scale battle celebration every year at the end of December to celebrate the founding of the empire, and young people of all races from all over the world are invited to participate. , divided into three divisions: junior, middle, high, and legendary. The upper age limit is 12, 15, 20, and 30. Among them, the starting champion of the advanced division can put forward a condition that is not excessive to Her Majesty the Queen. This event is of a planetary nature. , Legend sometimes mixes in some races from other dimensions, and the high-level ones are usually only from the Noir continent, ah, you may not understand the latter, so I won’t say more.”

Similar to the Olympics of memory?Lorenno thought to himself that it was all about showing off his strength anyway.

"Does that mean I might participate this year?"

Lorenno's eyes lit up, and then he yelled in pain, and Alice grabbed his ears hard.

"You don't think it's so easy to become a high-level person, do you?"

Alice laughed, raised her fingers and looked up as if calculating something, and finally raised four fingers: "So far, there are only four possibilities for becoming a high-level person from an ordinary person within a year, and those are also the possibilities for becoming a legend within a year."

"The first type is that you are a [divine-affiliated warlock] with the blood of a god, and you must be at the level of a god's son."

"The second type is that you have the bloodline of the Death God or a similar bloodline. You don't have to be at the level of the Son of God, or you don't have to be a warlock, but you must kill everyone."

"The third type is that you are the reincarnation of a god."

"The fourth point," Alice's face became serious, and she nodded Lorenno's eyebrows, "I will never tell you the fourth point."

Seeing Alice's serious look for the first time, Lorenno probably knew what the fourth taboo was, so he nodded and said he would not ask further. She nodded with satisfaction, continued to pinch her ears with a smile, and at the same time wondered why it was not like some As the color book says, elves or half-elves have very sensitive ears.

The reason why Alice is unwilling to say that the fourth point is very simple is because the fourth point is more evil and more abominable than the second one - making sacrifices to evil gods, demon lords, devil kings, etc.

Become a senior in one year...

Lorenno gradually became discouraged as he thought about the conditions Alice mentioned. After all, although he seemed to have a bloodline that was awakening, it should only be the special expertise of the half-elf. There was no need to think about being a descendant of the gods. She still remembered a little of what happened when she was a child. , if it is really that strong

His bloodline will not be thrown away by some of his relatives (?).

Seeing Lorenno dejected, Alice comforted him: "Not to mention becoming a high-level person, there are still some conditions that you can't meet. To participate in this grand competition, you must have a legendary person who is famous all over the world to recommend you. , or you are somewhat famous, and none of these can be operated in the dark. They are all screened out by the Mirror of All Knowledge. Its invitation list is full of geniuses or monsters. People like you who are anxious to advance, Even if he were an ordinary son of God, he might not be among the top [-]."

Upon hearing this, Lorenno became even more negative.

After being depressed for a while, Lorenno recovered. It was easier to become a high-level person than to become a legend, and it was impossible not to gain any fame during this process.

After having a full meal and being ravaged, Lorenno followed Alice back to the courtyard. Bishop Sal ​​did not appear again. Alice said apologetically: "Bishop Sal ​​had a very important guest just now. Now I can’t talk to you, I’m sorry.”

"It's okay." Lorenno knew that he was just a messenger. It was impossible for a temple bishop in a prosperous city to keep the same time as an idle adventurer like her. Speaking of which, the priests along the way seemed very busy. Alice was in front of her. Is it really okay for Big Sister to do this?

After coming out of the temple to say goodbye to her, Lorenno looked around to find the nearest hotel, walked in and asked about the price. Although it was a bit expensive, considering his personal safety, he stayed in it without bargaining.

According to the original schedule, Lorenno can now take the teleportation array of the Cardinal City Arcane Association branch to gradually teleport closer to the center of the empire, and finally reach the capital. But she doesn't need to be in such a hurry right now, neither her strength nor her reputation is enough. Qualification requires further experience to make oneself stronger.

Sitting at the desk in the room, Lorenno suddenly lost his direction and thought about what to do next. He couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if there was a taskbar like a game at this time... That's right!"

She had an idea, and the panel appeared as she thought, and began to change according to what she was thinking——

====

The final mission - to find mother Tite

Main Mission 1 - Go to the imperial capital Dovlei to borrow the Mirror of All Knowledge (Main Mission 2 has not been completed and Main Mission 1 has been frozen)

Main mission 2 - Become a legend or become a high-level

Branch line - Explore Cardinal City to see if there is any work or a place to practice (Target: Imperial Mission Office, major guilds, National United Adventurers Guild)

====

As soon as the simple task panel appeared, Lorenno immediately became clearer about his actions, got up and walked out of the hotel.

In the dark arena, Kevin smashed a cup and shouted: "What did you say?! He walked out of...that person's temple?"

"Yes, boss, I saw it absolutely, he came from the Sun." A thief of about level 10 said half-kneeling.

"Damn it! Fortunately, I'm smart!"

Kevin sat down in a cold sweat. He almost listened to the dog and mouse and took action. Fortunately, he was cautious by nature and looked ahead. He didn't expect that the traveler he was targeting was actually connected to the Endless Light. If he took action...

"Go and kill the mouse and his friend - don't let anyone know about this. We still have big things to do. We can't confront the people of Endless Light, and we can't let the empire notice it."

"Yes."

On the other side of the cult basement, the blindfolded man was uncertain after hearing the report. Because of his pair of eyes, he might face the Church of the Endless Light. He didn’t know if it was worth it. It’s not easy to lurk in Cardinal City. We are walking together in the slums. There were too many, and the strongholds and the believers who had finally attracted them might be divided up if they were not careful. The blindfolded people thought about it and decided to stand still for the time being - they still have big things to do, and they must not attract the attention of the Endless Light at this time.

When the situation is established, will their Church of the Eyeless God do whatever they want in the city? ...Although you have to share it with other cults, and you have to run when the time comes.

Lorenno, who was not familiar with Cardinal City, asked many more people. She first went to the Adventurer's Guild. Before she entered, she found that the place was smoky. The smell of sweat and cigarettes hit her face. When she entered, she also found wine spilled on the ground.

Is the Adventurer's Guild so chaotic?Lorenno frowned.

The National United Adventurers Guild is actually a joint organization created by various countries to give redundant and restless professionals something to do. If you want to compare it to a loose recruitment agency, every town in each country will provide some money to establish it. Setting up a stronghold allows mercenaries to have something to pick up and do. However, the information given by the employer may not be true and may be extremely dangerous. The hired person may also bite back and it is usually used to recruit cannon fodder.

This kind of place depends on the management capabilities of local adventurers and local officials. Although I heard that no well-known professionals would come to the so-called Adventurer's Guild to take jobs, but this...

She walked inside and looked at the bulletin board. They were all vague or incomplete requests, all located within the city, and some even named female adventurers.

Lorenno shook his head and turned to leave, but a tall figure stood in front of him. The strong man with scars on his face looked down at her, drunkenly.

He spat out the breath of wine and said, "Dwarf, are you also an adventurer?"

Lorenno turned his head left and right. Many people looked over here and showed interest in her as a "dwarf". Lorenno took care of his own fundamental problem and simply walked forward. The strong man saw that she was not interested. He replied with a trace of anger and stretched out his hand: "You short dog..."

The staggering strong man's feet suddenly slipped, and he fell to the ground instantly before he could react. Lorenno shook off his wolfskin cloak and walked outside.

Just now she just tripped the strong man quickly. Unexpectedly, the adventurers in the Adventurer Guild in Cardinal City were much worse than those in the small town. They couldn't even be called adventurers, they could only be called gangsters. They were the same as that strong man. Among all types of warriors, whether they were encountered while hunting goblins or encircled and suppressed cultists, they were stronger than him.

"The next one, an official organization like the Imperial Dispatch Office, won't be like this."

Lorenno muttered and found his destination a street away. It was a big house built with red bricks, with the words "Imperial Mission" hanging on the top, and two statues of soldiers standing on both sides.
