Chapter 215 The Ins and Outs (I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival!)
"Put down your weapon, if you want your master to survive." Thorne put the sword on the noble lady's neck, looked coldly at the captain of the barbarian, and warned: "Disappear immediately in my sight, you should be very clear about the consequences of hesitation."
"Mr. Ranger, what do you mean?" Feeling the burning pain from the neck, the noble lady endured the pain and signaled the captain of the barbarian to leave with her eyes. Then temporarily suppressed her inner doubts and said with a pretentious attitude.
But the savior suddenly attacked. This accident made her really unable to understand where she provoked the ranger. Could it be for money or beauty?
The weak female player seemed to agree with this idea when she thought of this. After all, if the other party really wants to take her life, there is no need to do anything else to do, and there is nothing else that makes the other party excited.
Noting that Captain Barbarian disappeared from his sight, Thorne breathed a sigh of relief. A barbarian with a professional level of level 10 or above, he still dared not underestimate the instantaneous explosive power.
Then Thorne looked at the pretended calm female player in front of her and said inexplicably: "I have found the abyss in you. Can you explain it to me? The noble lady who did not want to be named."
He had just heard about the Demon Worshippers in the Harpist Alliance, and immediately felt the aura of the abyss in this female player who seemed to be from Shuangta Town. If there was no connection between them, he would not believe that he could be such a coincidence even if he was beaten to death.
"I can explain to you, but you let me go first." Hearing the word "demon", the noble lady's haggard face suddenly changed color, and finally remained silent for a while, sighed and said to Thorne.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Thorne was unmoved and directly approached the noble lady's fair neck. The fire damage from the sword's demon-slaying demon instantly left a scald.
"You!" The noble lady glared at the Ranger in anger, endured the pain, and said, "I encountered a demon in an abandoned tower in Shuangta Town."
Is it really like the wizard Alanis said that the "Tower of the Dead" has a demon worshiper? Hearing the other party's meaning, it seems that he is ready to come out to harm the civilians. After listening to the female player's words, Thorne guessed in his heart.
"What a joke? It's just a ruined tower filled with mice and birds. How could a demon appear?" Although Thorne had guessed the probabilities, he did not admit it, but retorted knowingly.
"Everything I said is true. Believe it or not. We are all a group of visitors from another world. I didn't provoke you. Why do you make things difficult for me?"
Through a few simple conversations between the two sides, the clever noble lady seemed to guess the real identity of the ranger, so she said slowly in a sad tone.
As soon as she finished speaking, she stared at the Ranger's expression hidden in her hood, trying to confirm her inner guess.
But what made her regret was that there was no other fluctuation in the other party's cold expression. The only change was that the blade close to her neck moved a little outward, and the burning pain also relieved a lot.
"Don't look at me with that look. That's right, as you said, my identity is the same as you." Faced with the temptation of the noble lady, Thorne did not hide it and admitted it directly.
Then he still stared at the other party with a cold face: "You said you were injured by the demon, which left the breath of the abyss. Why should I believe you?"
In fact, what he was most worried about was that the other party was a demon worshiper, but he had no way to identify it.
"I'm telling me, are you crazy? Your profession is a ranger, not a paladin. Do you have to care about these things?" Hearing the other party admitting his identity, the female player secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but become a little bolder, and scolded Thorne with some anger.
From the fact that the other party can help them in the Forest of Silence, this female player can see that the ranger in front of him is not an evil person, and there is still a trace of goodness in his heart.
Now, the reason why this ranger suddenly started attacking was just for the devil's business. It was obvious that the other party was not as she had guessed just now, and this made her always hung up finally let go of her heart.
Seeing the noble lady's angry expression, Thorne ignored it, but stared at her neck covered by long hair with a serious expression. He stood there and hesitated for a moment, walked to the other party, and left a sentence: "Sorry, I offended."
After saying that, amid the female player's exclamation, she reached out and pulled her high collar down a few points.
"So that's it." Thorne noticed a scar on the noble lady's neck with a deep aura. His expression showed a sudden look, so he put away the long sword that was still on the other party's shoulder.
It is obvious that the reason why the other party has the abyss breath on his body is because he has been attacked by demons. Since he is not a demon worshiper, he will feel at ease.
At this time, the thoughtful Thorne suddenly felt the fierce wind blowing towards his face, so he subconsciously reached out to block the noble lady, which slapped the noble lady at his face, then stared at the other party's angry expression, and said expressionlessly:
"Have you not noticed your increasingly haggard face? In fact, the culprit of this is because your body has a corrupt aura from the abyss. If you want to survive, tell me the whole story of the matter honestly. I have a way to help you."
Because the demons carry the corrupt and contagious power of the bottomless abyss itself, as long as they appear, they will leave indelible pain. In the main material plane, where the demons pass by, plants die, and animals can only tremble and let them slaughter.
If a mortal who is lucky enough to die by the attack of a demon, if the wound is not purified in time, it will also weaken day by day, resulting in the accelerated passage of vitality.
The noble lady in front of her obviously didn't know about these secrets, otherwise this would not happen as long as she went to the temple near the town to purify it with divine techniques or to clean the wounds of holy water.
In order to understand the situation about the demons in Shuangta Town, Thorne deliberately told the matter seriously with intimidation.
After hearing Thorne's intimidation, the noble lady's pale face changed again and again. She obviously believed in what Thorne said. After all, she was still very clear about the changes in her body.
So he sighed deeply and told Thorne: "My name is Alvi, nothing to be ashamed of. Because of life, I became the wife of the Lord of Shuangta Town. In the center of Shuangta Town, there is an abandoned tower called the 'Tower of the Dead', this..."
"There was a princess in this tower who was a demon worshiper, and there were unknown underground passages at the bottom of the tower. I know all this. You can tell me what happened." Thorne noticed that the other party seemed to be preparing for a long speech, so he interrupted her.
A trace of surprise flashed in the female player Alvi's eyes when he looked at Thorne, then calmed down his heart and said slowly:
"One night two days ago, driven by curiosity, I took my husband into the Tower of the Dead and accidentally discovered the sealed underground passage. When we opened the seal and entered the underground passage, we were attacked by demons. In order to cover my evacuation, my husband died tragically in the underground passage, and I was seriously injured."
"As the lord's wife of Shuangta Town, why would you choose to take a group of barbarian slaves to the quiet Forest? Did something happen to Shuangta Town?" After listening to the other party's story, Thorne asked about the doubts in his heart.
"I am not very clear about what happened in Shuangta Town. The reason I chose to leave was mainly to save my life, because the seal of the underground passage inside the tower had been destroyed by me, which means that Shuangta Town is about to usher in the rampant devils.
The lord of Shuangta Town died tragically in the underground passage. His ex-wife's son will inherit his title and territory. I also lost the barrier of protection. So he led these barbarian slaves I personally trained to choose to stay away from this chaotic place and prepare to go to the Waterfront Town established by our players to spend the rest of his life. Who would have thought that the Forest of Silence was just occupied by the Goblins?" The female player Alvi told Thorne about his experience with two lines of crystal tears.
