Chapter 69 - Blessing of the Moon Goddess
The night was very dark, and the bleak silver moonlight could not dispel the deep shadows in the forest at all, and the endless darkness seemed to spread fear throughout the jungle.
But there is still a vigorous black shadow that shuttles through the towering trees of the forest at an extremely fast speed.
Suddenly, Thorne stopped galloping.
Looking at the insignificant ranger mark on the tree pole beside him, he took out the dagger hanging from his waist, and lightly modified the original mark on the tree pole.
It was this mark that conveyed to him the news of the existence of lake spirits in the nearby lake, which allowed him to get a fairly good harvest.
Now the lake spirit has been eliminated by him.
Then this mark will naturally have to be changed by him, so as not to affect the rangers who inadvertently break into this place and cause unnecessary trouble after discovering this false mark.
In Toril’s world, the profession of ranger is mostly based on the good camp, and the rangers are often linked by a loose association.
Contacts are the veiled markers of these wildernesses.
Their main responsibility is to help social civilization survive and grow in the wilderness.
In the uninhabited areas of the wilderness, kind-hearted rangers will take the initiative to explore these lands and find soil for the seeds of civilization to grow in.
Exploration for mineral resources benefits the corresponding settlement, or eradicates evil before it can spread.
Others go on missions such as scouting enemy formations or hunting dangerous beasts and criminals.
Especially in most of the frontier-dominated areas, rangers played a vital role in protecting the security of civilizations, and this profession was therefore highly appreciated by the indigenous inhabitants.
Both rangers and druids prefer the way of nature, but druids focus on nature, while rangers pay more attention to the protection and development of wilderness civilization.
This is also the main reason why Thorne chose the career of Ranger in the first place.
Thorne left the cluttered library in the lich’s secret lair.
After wandering through other passages, it was a pity that no useful information and treasures were found in those passages, and they were all searched and cleaned up, so they turned and left.
But he was always haunted by the page that seemed to fall from a book.
The will of the Church of God-killing and the multiverse, this kind of existence that makes people feel out of reach at first glance, even has a slight connection with the player.
This made Thorne have to doubt that all the players suddenly traveled to this other world. Is this not an accident, but someone who has planned it for a long time?
This somewhat unrealistic idea suddenly popped into Thorne’s mind, but he vaguely felt that only this idea could explain these abnormalities.
After all, in this high-magic world, except for the player’s own system, everything else is too real.
After Thorne marked the tree pole, he looked up at the gloomy sky accompanied only by the bleak moonlight, and sighed.
Whether it’s a conspiracy or an accident, it doesn’t really matter to him today.
Because he is too weak, a person who may not even be able to protect himself, is it useful to think so much?
He can only press the page deeply into the bottom of his heart, live well first and then think about his future plans.
Then Thorne’s hazy figure quickly disappeared into the thick night.
…
Somewhere in the ruins of Yuanshan Town.
Click!
The bright bonfire, burning dry wood, sputtered sparks in bursts of crackling, bringing a touch of light and warmth to this hidden and dark little corner.
The troll Trundle sat on the ground a little bored, leaning his entire body against the ruins of the wall, looking at his surroundings from time to time.
Under the red light of the fire, there was an imperceptible worry flashing in the seemingly calm expression.
Sorceress Andrina sat opposite, holding a magic book, deciphering every paragraph of the book with concentration.
Suddenly, Anders Lena’s expression changed, she raised her head slightly, her eyes like water looked at the shadow not far away.
Swish!
The sound of light footsteps came from not far away, and a dark shadow soon appeared within the shrouded range of the fire.
Feeling the concerned eyes from the two, Thorne did not speak, but smiled lightly in response.
The night in the Emerald Wilderness is still so dangerous. Although it is only less than ten kilometers away, Thorne still encounters a lot of trouble.
He encountered the humanoid creatures that were very active at night, such as goblin bear wanderers, lizardmen stalkers, and gnoll hunters.
Then all turned into a fairly good experience and practice points.
However, it was a little embarrassing to be chased by a large group of forest servant goblins. These little guys who are more flexible than monkeys in the woods are too difficult to deal with.
Thorne put away the dagger with blood stains left, walked to Andrina and asked, “You should master the skill of mysterious knowledge.”
Knowledge represents the study of a certain scholarship.
Take Thorne’s knowledge of nature, for example.
This knowledge includes the living habits, distribution areas and racial characteristics of animals, fey creatures, giants, humanoid monsters, plants, seasonal rotation, climate, insects and so on.
As well as commonly used attacks, extraordinary abilities, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities.
When he encounters these creatures in the wild, he will understand them more fully, and he will make the most correct response to whether to leave or stay.
The arcane knowledge includes: ancient secrets, magical runes, arcane symbols, arcane phrases, constructs, dragons, and magical beasts.
These knowledge are essential skills for spellcasters, and they can also identify some characteristics and functions of the equipment according to the various aura runes on the magic equipment.
Andrina put down the book, looked at Thorne with doubtful eyes, nodded slightly, and said nothing.
Seeing the other party’s response, Thorne immediately took out the string of silver-white cross star pendants from the corpse from the dimension bag, and threw it to Andrina.
“Is this for me?”
Andrina took the pendant that Thorne threw over, looked at the delicate silver-white cross in her palm, felt the rich magic aura all over her body, and blurted out subconsciously after being stunned.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she immediately noticed her gaffe, and her pretty face was slightly hot under the cover of the firelight, so she quickly lowered her head and stopped speaking.
“…Please help me identify it.” Thorne said a little embarrassedly. From the magic light emitted by the pendant, he could guess that it was at least equipment of extraordinary quality.
Among all the equipment, the price of jewelry magic equipment is often the most expensive, generally conservatively above 2000 gold coins.
It is naturally reluctant to let him give away the pendant in vain, not because he is stingy, but mainly because he is too poor.
There are just too many places where he needs to use the money now.
It is just the awakening ceremony of the Second Ring Divine Art, and various expensive materials that need to be prepared are conservatively estimated to cost about 3,000 gold coins.
Thorne was able to get it all together after going out tonight, not counting the cost of enchanting and transforming the long sword in his hand.
Andrina stopped talking, but focused on the pendant in her palm, carefully observing the mysterious magic runes carved on the silver-white cross star.
Then recalled the knowledge of magic runes that he had mastered, and analyzed and interpreted them one by one.
With a faint light flickering in her hand, the property information of the pendant suddenly appeared in her mind.
A look of surprise flashed in Andrina’s eyes, and then she threw it directly to Thorne.
“Thank you very much!” Thorne took the pendant and didn’t rush to check it, but thanked first.
“It’s just an effort, you’re welcome.” Anderina focused her gaze on the book in her hand again and responded lightly.
Seeing this, Thorne stopped disturbing the other party. After saying hello to the troll Trundle, he turned and walked out.
This corner was originally a hidden underground warehouse of the Yuanshan Town Hotel, and now the contents have been robbed by the gnolls.
In the whole ruins, it is the most well-preserved place that Thorne has found. It is no problem to rest peacefully in it for a night.
Andrina glanced at the back of Thorne hurriedly leaving, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
A sentence suddenly recalled in my mind: I am used to the gentleness of mass production, so I am particularly moved by the sincerity of clumsiness.
Then she looked up at the bleak moonlight, chuckled lightly, and shook her head.
Blessing of the Moon Goddess
Type: jewelry
Quality: Purple Excellent
Restriction: Not available for non-good camps
Effect: Perception +1, Charisma +1 (up to 20 points)
Medium Evocation Aura: Moon Arrow (22 per day)
(Note: Blessed are anyone who enjoys the light of Sulun if they so desire, don’t forget to ask the moon for help when you’re in trouble.)
Moon Arrow: Summons the power of the full moon in the celestial body, creates an arrow shining with moonlight, and flies out from the palm to attack the enemy. The moon arrow will precisely hit any living or undead creature within the range.
(Note: The power of the Moon Arrow will gradually increase with the brightness of the moonlight at night.)
Thorne looked at the pendant in the palm of his hand, a look of joy flashed in his eyes, it turned out to be the rarest equipment to improve attributes.
Charisma attribute points are not important to him.
However, increasing the perception attribute has raised his perception attribute to 20 points, so that the attribute points he will get after upgrading can be directly allocated to the most lacking strength attribute.
And the accompanying spell: Moon Arrow!
It adds another effective long-range spell attack method for him.
Although the power at night with moonlight can be maximized, it does not mean that it cannot be used during the day.
So Thorne didn’t hesitate to wear it directly around his neck and hide it in his collar.
Clang!
Then Thorne pulled out his long sword and looked at the monotonous black and white ruins wrapped in the thick night.
The occasional roar of beasts or monsters added a bit of gloom and terror to the night.
Night is the time when hunters are most active in the Emerald Fields.
As a Thorne who has never been too experienced, naturally he will not miss this good opportunity to quickly gain experience.
