Thorne and Andrea walked side by side on the streets of the Lower City. The fresh sea breeze blew over his face, dispelling the dullness he had fallen in the dilapidated courtyard, and his mood gradually became relaxed.

Then, he began to savor the last sentence left to him by the old man who taught him the Nine Swords.

As he thought about it, in a trance... he recalled the words that goblin wizard Malvesa once said to him in the same tone as the guardian of Winter City:

"Just follow your own heart. In fact, this world is not as complicated as you think. You just need to remember that this is a multiverse full of miracles."

Just follow your original intention and do the time you want to do. As for the god killer, contempt for the times, god-making plans, as long as it doesn't affect me, you can do whatever you want, Thorne thought to himself.

At this time, after learning too much of the truth, although his thoughts on going to the Imprint City had not disappeared, the intensity had faded a little, and he was no longer as persistent as a naughty man.

However, he knew very well in his heart that it was difficult to completely get rid of the control of an invisible hand hidden in the dark. In the end, he had to wait until he had the ability to go to Yincheng to understand the truth.

Just after a moment of exclamation, the distracted ranger suddenly felt that he had hit some soft body, and a familiar exclaim followed.

Thorne's expression changed, and he instantly realized that he had made some mistakes, so he stretched out his right hand as quickly as possible and took the delicate body that was about to be knocked to the ground by him into his arms.

"You... are you okay?" Torne, who was leaning in his arms and frightened, smiled embarrassedly.

In fact, what he wanted to ask was, "Why did you suddenly stop while walking?", but subconsciously told him that it was very inappropriate to ask this, so he hurriedly changed his words.

Andrea rubbed his shoulder that was hurt by Thorne, glared at him angrily, looked at his unnatural smile, and smiled unhappily, then asked helplessly: "Are you still thinking about those headaches?"

"Actually, there is no need to worry about these things." Andrea reached out and patted Thorne's dirty right hand. Seeing him shrink back, she broke free from her arms:

"Whether it is the era of contempt or the reopening of the world that is out of reach, does this have anything to do with us now? It has nothing to do with it. I think the old man is right at all. It is enough to go your own way openly and do what you want to do."

"So, my dearest Mr. Ranger, please tell me what you want to do most now?" Andrea showed a charming smile at Thorne, stretched out her hands and brushed the messy hair on both sides of his cheeks behind her ears intimately, then put it on his shoulders, and looked at his eyes affectionately.

The streets of the Lower City were empty, and all kinds of noises filled the period, including the screams of wild cats fighting, the barking of puppies in the depths of the alley, the laughter and shouting from the hotel, and the sad tone played by a flute in the distance.

Thorne looked at the woman in front of her and happened to see her long black hair slid down from her shoulders, swinging gently in front of her and behind her, flashing with a soft silky luster under the moonlight.

When he found that when she looked at him, the smile in her eyes had quietly flowed to her lips and her white teeth were revealed.

The charming smile was gentle and kind, Thorne thought.

He wanted to do something, but he immediately remembered that the two of them were in the streets of Xiacheng District, so he forced the impulse back.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed the sly smile that caught the corner of Andrea's mouth.

"Let's go." Thorne glanced at his arm that was on his shoulders, shrugged slightly, and said depressedly.

"Where do you go?" Andrea, who withdrew her hands, was stunned by the question.

"You didn't say you wanted to see your tavern."

"It's here."

“…”

Thorne looked up at the sign of the house behind Andrea, and found that the two had arrived at their destination.

"It seems that I am lucky. The whole house was not damaged and was locked by kind-hearted people."

Andrea walked to the door, looked at the small and exquisite lock, and a faint magical light flashed across her fingertips. She seemed to feel some familiar breath and whispered unexpectedly: "It turned out that it was the lock she helped me put on."

Then, she turned around and looked at the Ranger beside her: "Thorn, is there a way to open this lock?"

"This is simple." Thorne nodded and walked forward.

He reached out and stroked the air, and a sheathed sword appeared in his hand in the warlock's surprised gaze.

"Clang!"

A light orange sword light flashed, and the door and lock were split open by him with a sword, so it was easily done.

"Let's go." Thorne greeted with a sharp sword in his hand, focused his attention, and became alert and pushed open the door first, and walked in.

Andrea followed him honestly.

"Buzz!"

In the dim little bar, the only source of light was a ray of light from Andrea's fingertips.

Through the soft light, we can find that the not-so-spacious bar room was in a mess, with overturned tables and chairs, broken wine glasses and bottles, and the already dry blood on the ground, everywhere.

Looking at the messy scene, Andrea's expression was dazed, and the light on her fingertips trembled slightly with the owner's mood.

She recalled the scene of the group rushing out under the surroundings of Shahua Yumen, and the dead, and couldn't help but sigh.

Thorne patted Andrea's shoulder and comforted her silently, then carefully cleaned the broken glass on the ground and the tables and chairs blocking the road, clearing her a road for access.

When he noticed a familiar footprint leading to the backyard on the ground, he couldn't help but be stunned and muttered uncertainly: "Has she been back too?"

"Let's go upstairs to take a look. There should be no problem in my room." Andrea had sorted out a slightly disappointed mood, took out a talisman with magical aura, waved to Thorne, and pulled him to the stairs.

The two walked to the stairs, and Thorne reached out to stop Andrea's footsteps, looked down at the various footprints and a thin layer of dust on the steps, and found that no one had stepped here for at least three months.

However, he was still carrying a long sword and walking in front of him to open the way.

"It's true." Seeing the intact magical restriction, Andrea secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then pasted the magical amulet on it.

The moment the magic talisman touched the mark, a light blue magic light suddenly appeared, and the sound of the magic lock being opened immediately came from behind the door.

Andrea smiled slightly, turned the door handle directly, pushed open the door and walked in.

The dark cottage emitted a smell similar to Andrea's body fragrance. Thorne raised his foot to follow and walked into the house.

"You can't go in for the time being. I want to clean up first. I'll notify you after I'm packing up. Is it OK?" Andrea blocked the door and smiled at Thorne, smiling in a subtle and shy sense.

Thorne did not notice her subtle expression change. When he heard that the other party would not let him enter the house for the time being, he immediately thought of what to do next, so he nodded to her: "Okay, then I'll go and have a walk first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Andrea closed the door tightly without hesitation.

Faced with the sorcerer's strange behavior, Thorne was stunned for a moment, and after understanding the reason, she laughed and turned around and left.

Then, he walked down the stairs and followed the footprints he had just discovered towards the secret room.

——"One ring of magical art: no trace of whereabouts!"

In the small dark room, there was no light except for the faint green light flashing in Thorne's eyes.

Thorne, who possesses "dark vision", looked at the footprints on the ground and fell into deep thought.

I don't know how long it took...

The Ranger, who came to his senses, put away the green light that was vaguely in his eyes, sat on the chair, leaned his body casually against the wall, placed his legs on the table, sat there comfortably, and began to check his condition.

[Dragon Blood Baptism lv2 (background expertise): You have undergone two special baptisms of the true dragon blood. This baptism ceremony not only strengthens your body, but also allows you to inherit the abilities of some dragon clans. You permanently obtain 4 points of natural armor, 2 points of strength, 2 points of strength and 4 points of physique. At the same time, you will get additional "high-level strong acid resistance" and "Dragon Wild Resistance" expertise. This ability can gradually increase with the number of times the dragon blood baptism.]

【High-level strong acid resistance (personal expertise): In the process of fighting strong acid corrosion, you gradually adapt to this extremely corrosive damage. Therefore, when you are subjected to spells with strong acid or corrosion effects, you will reduce damage by 6 points.】

[Dragon Power Resistance (Personal Specialty): A faint trace of true dragon blood flows in your blood. It can better help you resist the terrifying majesty from the true dragon. When you suffer from the Dragon Power attack from the True Dragon Clan and need to make a Will Saving check, you will get a saving throw of 4.]

...

Thorne nodded with satisfaction at the new abilities gained by the attribute panel.

4 points of natural armor means that his skin is as strong as the ordinary chain armor shirt in the equipment store.

If you encounter kobolds, goblins or other weak humanoid creatures in the wilderness, as long as the enemy does not have a spellcaster, and with the swords, guns and sticks in their hands, it will almost not threaten him.

Next is the improvement of the power attribute that he highly recognizes.

As for why the power attribute has increased so little.

The main reason is that his original power has reached the extraordinary attribute of 21 points. If he wants to continue to improve, it is no longer possible to make ordinary methods.

Even if this strength reaches the true dragon blood of the legendary dragon, the increase is not very large. This is also the reason why he only increased his strength by 1 point in the two baptisms.

Of course, if he finds another dragon with similar strength to the Red Copper Dragon to baptize the dragon blood at this time, his power attribute will not even be improved at all.

Although the two dragon blood baptisms added 4 points of physical attributes to him, greatly improving the weakest physique, becoming 18 points. However, after two activation rituals of ancient equipment, his physical attributes were once again reduced by 2 points, becoming the current 16 points.

Thorne did not have any complaints or regrets about this.

Compared with the 2 physical attributes, it is definitely the most cost-effective two powerful ancient equipment.

Thinking of this, Thorne couldn't help but look at his hands.

His hands seemed empty and he was not wearing anything.

In fact, the glove that was very suitable for Shadow Hands was worn by him long ago.

The material for making this glove is an extremely precious celestial silkworm from the Karatu continent, and then it is kept in a shadow plane to grow until it spits out a spider silk full of shadow energy. It is a very rare type.

(Note: When the user wears the shadow hand, the equipment disappears intovisible like a shadow, and will not affect any battle at all.)

...

Although this pair of ancient gloves adds a lot of special abilities to him, what really surprised Thorne was the shadow hand ability he obtained at level 10.

This ability allows him to have a tiny shadow space that he can carry with him.

As long as his hand gently strokes the void, the weapons and equipment stored in the shadow space will be taken out by him in an instant.

In this way, he can store the longbow and quiver behind him all day, and switch weapons at will during the battle, which is extremely easy.

Of course, he would not choose to have two sharp swords hanging around his waist, because compared to the speed of taking out weapons from the shadow space, Thorne believes that instantaneously drawing the sword is faster and more unpredictable.

Then he took out the stone dragon power belt that was very similar to the color of the rock.

According to the old man, the production process of this belt not only incorporates the power of earth elements, but also possesses the power of the stone giants in the giant clan.
