Chapter 518 - ending: a
At the request of book friends, the general plot of the book is sorted out and sent out.
Apologize again to all readers!
Thorne left Zombie Vanger’s room and walked towards the statue corridor with the paladins and others.
The crowd passed through the deadly statue corridor without any hindrance, just when Thorne was about to find the so-called ‘altar’ and the torn negative energy plane.
A skeleton warrior riding a skeletal warhorse led countless undead creatures to block their way, claiming that this was the domain of the undead lord Orthus.
These undead creatures are obviously different from the minions in the surface world. They are more like professionally trained. There are many ghouls and ghosts with high IQ in them, and some of the undead have the priest level.
After a fierce battle, as the skeleton battle will be killed by several people, the weak undead creature was successfully controlled by the elf banshee without the command of the leader, and finally the crisis was resolved.
Afterwards, several people continued to move forward, and came to the temple of the undead Lord Orbis without any risk.
Under the guidance of the magical amulet in the hands of the witch Cecil, after destroying the sculpture of Orthus, they found an unknown Lich phylactery.
When Thorne destroyed the statue of Orthus, there was no accident that the promotion of demon power was triggered.
In the face of the increase in the level of demon power, Thorne had no confidence to withstand the impact of immortal evil, so he chose to use a method that Malvasia gave him to temporarily suppress it.
Faced with the evil-filled lich’s phylactery, Avar, a paladin, suggested that he be brought back to the temple in Sept City for complete purification.
Thorne ostensibly agreed to the paladin’s request and was willing to take the initiative to take on the task of escorting the phylactery – this phylactery could only be carried with him, except for the space ring he obtained from the demi-plane in his hand, which could easily lead to evil spirits. peeping.
However, Thorne had other thoughts in his heart.
Because the witch secretly told him that this phylactery was what Winster needed, and that he must send it to the arctic land north of the Northland Wasteland.
At this point, the exploration of the ruins of Dawning Town has ended, and several people have returned to the original path, reappeared in the valley of the Desolate Skull Mountains, and said goodbye here.
However, what everyone didn’t expect was that almost all their actions were seen by the evil wolf witch who used a secret method to hide in the dark – the wolf that was eaten by Thorne before was from the evil wolf witch.
Thorne said goodbye to everyone in the town of Twin Towers and chose to walk through the Black Pearl Forest to Deep Rock.
In the Black Pearl Forest, he did not encounter the extreme druids of the Emerald Garden by accident. Thorne, who had no affection for these stubborn druids, could not avoid a mockery.
The Druid forcibly threw it to Thorne, a little boy who was lost in the forest, and asked him to help send the dark girl believer hidden in the Black Pearl Forest to survive.
In the face of such a rude request from the Druids, Thorne would naturally not agree, but the Druids threw it away at will, leaving him speechless.
So Thorne, who turned into a nanny, took the dark elf child, who was less than five years old, to the small village guided by the Druid.
In the process of walking with the little boy, he learned the origin of this naughty and naughty little guy.
He has no name. He is called Xiao Hei in the village. He is the child who was brought out by the dark elf player Gerson in the Royal City of Rezim.
Black’s father Gerson died not long ago in a battle with the evil drow.
The bereaved little guy remembered a fairy tale that his father told him about a little girl who sold nuclear bombs.
He thought that as long as he found the nuclear bomb, he could take the whole village’s dark elves to see his father in heaven, so he sneaked away when no one was paying attention to find the so-called ‘nuclear bomb’, and then when he was in danger, he was arrested by Jade Xianxian. The druid of the court was accidentally rescued, and finally changed his hand to Thorne’s here.
After walking through the Black Pearl Forest for nearly five days, Thorne successfully sent Xiao Hei to the hidden village of the Dark Maiden’s followers.
Before leaving, the little guy cried and chased out, wanting to follow him to learn swordsmanship.
Thorne smiled and comforted him, and handed him a short sword that he had used before, claiming that when he grew up, he would go to the Emerald Tower in Waterfall Town to find him, and he would definitely accept him as his apprentice.
Thorne thought about it and gave him another name: Drizzt.
Hope he can survive on the surface as tenaciously as the legendary ranger.
At the junction of the Black Pearl Forest and the Silverpine Plain, there is a sacred oak tree ‘Meru Robus’. The woodland space under the oak tree is known by the world as a resting place for travelers, a home for wanderers, a place for racial friendship…
The glade is known for its neutrality, openness, and tolerance, and the druids of Emerald Recess, though protective of the sacred tree, welcome visitors of any alignment.
As usual, merchants, nobles, adventurers, refugees, deserters from all over the world gathered under this sacred oak tree…
The bard Gilt, who was walking down the avenue, sang the “Dawn Song” of the battle three years ago under the oak tree.
This uplifting ballad undoubtedly resonated with most people, especially the player group.
Another conflict erupted without warning.
With the disappearance of Alenara, the leader of the player faction in Silverpine Plains, the faction was successfully led by a radical faction among the followers of God of War.
They gathered almost every ambitious player from all over the world, and under the slogan of freeing slaves and establishing a new order, they waged war on the weakest Turami people in the Silverpine Plains.
War, of course, brings disaster.
So this topic of whether to start a war or not has gradually divided the player group in this world into two major factions.
One is the conservative group headed by Emerald Wilderness. They believe that since what they need is a peaceful life, it is obvious that the Emerald Wilderness is their ideal world.
Another radical, headed by Yinsong Plain, believes that since they have been given this powerful ability, they must show their strength in this world, gradually expand their power from Yinsong Plain as a starting point, and build a great empire. ultimate goal.
The Druid who guarded the sacred tree couldn’t stand the trash talk between the two sides, and finally couldn’t listen to it anymore. He pointed at the sacred oak tree and turned on the map cannon on the two groups, and taunted at the same time:
“A bunch of ignorant things, it seems that you all forget that you are not the only inhabitants of the world, and that all creation is at the center. You are like stupid, fat, lazy minnows in the pool, refusing to believe in barracuda Existence. You are trying to turn the world into a backwater full of mud.
Look around you – crime and iniquity, **** and covetousness, quarrels and rivalries, it’s just about everywhere. Traditions are dying, and respectable values are being lost. You do not follow the laws of nature and go against the sky everywhere.
What do you want? The stench of the furnace? Wastewater from slaughterhouses and tanning workshops? Or bare woodland? Barren desert? Smoky sky? A wilderness of floating corpses? An uninhabited village? …
look! Even on the bark of the sacred oak ‘Meju Robus’, there are obscenities carved with knives – XXX come here, XXX I will give birth to monkeys for you. You refugees who call yourself the ‘Holy Arrival’, the ‘Fourth Scourge’, the ‘Master of Justice’ are as disgusting as the louse on a sheepskin coat…”
The priest from the Lord of Dawn also immediately helped: “Wake up, you sinners, while you still have time, because the wrath and revenge of the gods are about to come! He will impose the most terrible divine punishment on you sinners.
Look what you all did! You drove out the hobgoblins, but the orcs in the northern wasteland were flooded with disasters. In the tide of the orcs, countless civilians in the northern land were displaced, and countless children were homeless…
You ignorantly build new cities on the Silver Pine Plain, set up new rules and regulations, provoke cruel wars, and try to be enemies of the whole world. What do you want? Countless painful history is telling me that you will surely perish because of your greed and ignorance! ”
“Yes!” a Turami roared: “What are you trying to do? Why do you persecute us? Why don’t you let us live peacefully?”
“They want us to bleed!”
“We want our land!”
“And rob our women and children!”
…
Thorne, who was hidden in the crowd, chose to leave quietly as the quarrel became more intense.
He came to the plains of Silverpine, the land of the Turami people.
The sight that caught his eye was as depicted by the quarrelling crowd under the sacred oak, and the war had brought great pain to the land.
On this plain, countless villages and towns are filled with gunpowder smoke, and battles of various scales are unfolding here.
There are new forces formed by players, mercenary groups, adventurer teams, bandits, liberated slaves, as well as the original residents who stick to stone walls and fences.
The flames of war in front of him were raging, and the villages and towns in the back were also burning vigorously.
On the entire horizon, smoke pillars can be seen everywhere, and the screams of killing are incessant.
Thorne continued to walk east to Deep Rock, through the fire and smoke, through the drizzle and mist, and despite the wars that loomed over him from time to time, and all the horrors that overwhelmed him, he never helped.
Finally, in the ruins of a burned village, Thorne met Bruenor Warhammer, a mountain dwarf who had once met in the Emerald Plains.
The dwarf led many players to spontaneously form a team to rescue refugees in the disaster of war. Their destination was the refugee camps in Deep Rock City and Hammer City.
Although following such a group severely affected his speed, Thorne said he would go with them to the refugee camp in Deep Rock.
They proceeded cautiously, with a growing army of refugees fleeing the war and heading east.
On a rainy morning, Bruenor, the dwarf who was walking with Thorne at the front of the line, encountered a group of cavalrymen who were slaughtering the fleeing Turami.
Although Thorne reminded him not to be impulsive, claiming that the cavalry was obviously followed by a large army, and if there was a conflict, all the refugees they rescued along the way may be killed.
But when the impulsive dwarf saw a cavalry take off his pants and dangle his cock, he finally couldn’t help waving his battle axe and rushed up. He angrily eliminated all the cavalry.
The result did not surprise Thorne, the action of the dwarves attracted a large cavalry regiment.
Seeing the imprint of the white rose flower crown embroidered on the cavalry, Thorne stopped him with a sword.
The leader of the Knights of the White Rose and Thorne looked at each other for a moment, and finally turned around and left, successfully resolving the crisis.
“The bandits pass like a comb, and the soldiers pass like a grate.”
Silverpine Plains, this is Thorne’s truest assessment of this army of players and freed slaves.
After the crisis was resolved, the mountain dwarf player Bruno said to Thorne indignantly: “I’m fed up with my idly watching, and I’m fed up with my inability to do anything. The so-called Qiu did not commit any crimes, I’m afraid he is not living in a dream. In war, if not Promise your subordinates some ‘wrongful’ benefits, do you think they will work for you? These filthy scum, if they hang a woman’s petticoat on a big tree, they can even have fun in the tree hole.”
Thorne parted ways with the mountain dwarf Bruenor at the refugee camp in Deep Rock.
On the way into Deep Rock City, Thorne was assassinated by a group of assassins. Fortunately, he reacted in time and used the Blade of the Dimension Walker to successfully retain the assassin who was trying to escape, but was beheaded by the elf monk “Feng” who happened to pass by.
Thorne followed the player monk to the shrine of Ilmater, the **** of suffering, and met the legendary paladins, the mentors of paladins Nolan and Brandt.
It was learned from her that Nolan, the girl who had advanced to the Holy Avenger, had already traveled to the endless wilderness ravaged by demons. It was said that she was looking for the lost artifact: the Holy Avenger.
Thorne handed the paladin’s ring, Brandt’s holy symbol, and the holy symbol discarded by Nolan to the legendary paladin, and explained his purpose.
The legendary paladin stared at the two holy emblems and the lost and recovered paladin ring, silent for a long time, and finally looked at Thorne and said:
“I can help you enchant the weapon, and even help you improve the quality of this weapon to legendary, and all you need to do is lead the people of the Emerald Fields to end this turmoil in the Silverpine Plains.”
For the paladin’s request, Thorne refused without hesitation.
In the end, the paladin, citing the number of refugees in Deep Rock, could not help him to disappear the magic weapon until the end of the war.
However, in order to compensate Thorne, the paladin gave him a token, saying that with this token, he could go to the Bow Monastery in the Lost Star Mountains to receive training.
Thorne took the token and left.
Following the tips of the Harpists in Twin Towers, he successfully got in touch with the Harper members in Deep Rock.
To his surprise, this harpist member turned out to be a shadow dancer player who had played against Horat in the Emerald Field.
After learning that the detriment to himself was from the believers of the dark king Ben, Thorne took the teleportation circle of Deep Rock City directly to Sept City with a heavy heart.
He met the dragonborn paladin in the tavern, and under the introduction of Peo, met the archbishop of the **** of justice.
Explaining his purpose, the Archbishop of the God of Justice put forward two conditions of his own.
The first is to investigate the temple of Bann hidden in the city, and the second is to go to the arctic land with Paladin Peo to help investigate the frozen dead.
First of all, Thorne and the paladin Paeo, with the help of members of the harpists, succeeded in discovering the temple of Bann hidden in the underground passage of a noble manor.
Unfortunately, when they arrived with the Knights Templar, the place was already empty.
Thankfully, they found a list of the members of the Temple of Bane.
At noon the next day, the Knights Templar placed all the captured noble members in the very center of the city of Sept, and under the witness of the God of Justice, judged all the cultists.
Thorne, who was standing on the roof watching, looked at the holy and solemn Archbishop and the priests, and the cheering crowd when the cultists were purified.
His Ranger Heart progress jumped to 97% (justice) unknowingly
Afterwards, Thorne and Paladin Peo sailed to the Northland Wasteland.
