Volume 2 Chapter 166 Scarlet Stele

"I'm afraid I can't help you, because I'm not an official adventurer, and I have my own adventure path. Thor shook his head against the door frame.

Adventurer...... Is it formal and informal?, Lorna blinked in confusion. The guy in front of him was obviously wary, maybe this was his excuse to shirk it temporarily, Lorna secretly judged.

"I mean, I don't have the official qualifications for the Adventurer's Guild, and compared to other adventurers, I don't stay in a certain area or adventure environment for long, in fact, I'm on a journey. Seeing Lorna's doubts, Thor added.

"I don't think it's okay, it's technically just a short escort trip. You send me to the lake to finish something, and then send me to the main city of Candela's territory to add seals, even if it's over, maybe you won't have to stop by the way?"

Is it a coincidence that it is indeed on its own path??

"I've heard that the lake is dangerous, what are you going to do at the lake?" Thor said again.

"There are four earth steles in the four directions of the south, east, west, and northwest of this continent, which are said to have ancient scripts left by the Old Kingdom, and the southern stele is on the shore of the Wailing Lake, and I have been entrusted by my mentor to obtain a rubbing copy of the stele text. Lorna replied fluently.

This is an unknown territory that Thor has never heard of, and naturally there is no way to judge the truth of the matter.

"Are you sure you want to turn down an invitation from a beautiful and weak lady?" Seeing Thor silent, Lorna blinked at what she thought was charming, and smiled confidently as if things were back in her hands.

"Being beautiful or something can only be regarded as reluctantly, but a woman can't just be beautiful, if there is no corresponding wisdom and temperament, it is like a pillow stuffed with rotten cotton. ”

"And your third-order strength is here, but you have to forcibly buckle the weak hat, which is like telling me that wolves have started to eat grass recently. Well, since you have to do it, wait for me to change my clothes. ”

Thor scrutinized Lorna from beginning to end, raised his chin slightly, as if to indicate the height difference between them, and finally dropped the words, turned to close the door and changed clothes.

The breeze from the door made Lorna's blue hair flutter again, and she trembled slightly, feeling as if she hadn't thought about killing someone in a long time.

You're the rotten cotton, you're the wolf that eats grass, and you have to do it, I'm baba!

In her fantasy, Lorna drove the Sol-type villain into a corner, and then carried out a brutal beating, until the other party vomited blood and knelt down to beg for mercy, which slightly calmed the anger in her chest.

In the room, Thor put the black coat on his body, then carefully smoothed out the folds, and pulled the edges and corners of the whole coat, and an ordinary old dress was worn by him with a sense of pilgrimage.

The reason why he was dressed so contrived was because Thor's mind was not on the clothes, he was thinking, thinking about how real this random event was, and what the girl's true purpose was.

The sentence that Saul said was actually really to the point, and it felt like 'I can't do without me', or that the girl was like a dead face trying to trick him to the lake, but what was there by the lake?

In the end, Thor decided to follow and see, if the other party really hid some strength and some malice, then it didn't make much sense for him to hide in the hotel.

Of course, the reason why he can be so calm now is because Thor has recently had some new means to save his life, instead of being able to shake his bare ass everywhere like before, and life and death are random.

For the Fly Spell and the Short-Range Random Teleportation Scroll, Thor was eager to give it a try. If it's a fake, and he's not dead, he's going to hunt her down to the north and pinn Ygrete to her leg and slap her buttocks.

After checking the various knick-knacks he always had on his body, Thor opened the door again.

The moment he opened the door, he saw the cursed expression on Lorna's face, which was originally broken, suddenly forcibly distorted sharply, and instantly reassembled into a sweet smile.

"So it's an honor to have an adventure together, I'm Lorna Amilton, I'm from Pandor, you can call me Lorna. The girl stretched out her little white hand and tried to blink her eyes to release kindness.

Seeing Lorna's technique of changing her face in an instant just now, Thor naturally would not be confused by these sweet illusions.

"Thor. After a brief sentence, Thor twitched the corners of his mouth and bounced back, revealing a half-smiling smile. He didn't shake Lorna's hand, but clasped his hand and turned a misty gaze to the wall next to him, as if there were ants fighting on it.

The inexplicably proud ugly face made Lorna's beautiful eyebrows twitch violently, and she suddenly turned around and rushed towards the staircase with her skirt up.

Thor looked at her with some amusement, the girl looked angry, but it seemed that this team couldn't be separated?

"Be careful, don't roll down. Thor looked at the girl's frantic back as if she was about to pounce straight down the stairs, and kindly reminded her.

Lorna on the stairs staggered suddenly, why did this hateful fellow, after a good word come out of his mouth, he let his anger run upwards?

Outside the hotel, a man and a woman were chatting enthusiastically, dressed like adventurers and mercenaries.

The man was less than thirty years old, with shawl hair, two small beards, and a well-groomed face. He was dressed in a suit of hard leather armor, the kind that even had knee pads, and judging by the dagger on his waist, he might have been a thief.

The woman's single ponytail, in her early twenties, has a slight posture, a good figure, and a light leaf armor for women, with a metallic texture. She had a thin female sword diagonally around her waist, just like Thor had seen in Anne Baez.

However, there are several classifications of thin body swords, and the extreme point of the sword body is as thin as a sewing needle, and that kind of sword is mainly based on stabbing penetration, which has extremely high requirements for sword skills.

It is common to see the woman in front of her, with a thin back and a narrow blade, which does not lose the penetrating power of a thin sword, nor lacks the sharpness when slashing, but this kind of sword requires a woman to have a little arm strength.

The disadvantage of the thin sword is that it is not suitable for blocking, otherwise the sword body will be easily broken by force.

Looking at the metal light armor on this woman's body, it seems to be the appearance of a swordsman.

Thor also used a sword, but the original iron sword and the iron sword given by Lorton were sold by Thor when he was in the ancient capital of Karot, and he was replaced with a steel longsword.

Thor didn't like to use shields very much, but he only lengthened the hilt of the sword a little and wrapped it in a wrap. In this way, you can hold the sword with both hands to increase the slashing power when facing the enemy, but it is not easy to get tired like a two-handed sword or a two-handed broadsword.

The four of them got together, introduced each other's names, and exchanged ideas briefly. Then I decided to go on a journey overnight, just in time to come back to rest in about tomorrow morning.

So in addition to Thor and Lorna, there were more male thieves Kembert and female swordsman Elaine in the team.

This kind of team combination is actually not too ideal, it is too aggressive, and the defensive part is obviously a little weak, and it seems that if you really encounter danger, you can only rely on your own means.

But thinking about it, Thor didn't care too much, it was just a temporary adventure, and it wasn't a burning expedition, so why ask for too much.

Wailing Lake is located east of Windwhispering Town, and it is said that it was actually called Blue Mirror Lake many years ago. Later, I don't know when too many lives were lost here, and finally attracted the attention of human settlements, and changed its name to the shore of Wailing Lake.

In terms of distance, it is actually not too far from Fengyu Town, just two hourglass trips, and it is said to be located in the heart of a humid forest. The thief Kembert had traveled before, so he also acted as a guide on this adventure.

"Hey, brother, are you also a swordsman?" Kembert put his arm on Thor's shoulder with enthusiasm on the way, adventurers are not usually referred to by age, such as this 'brother' who is more than ten years apart from each other.

"I'm a fighter. Thor smiled kindly, perhaps because of the afterimage of Shogues, even though the world has always been harsh about the thieves, it is difficult for Thor to have any subjective dislike for them.

Warriors? Kembert is a little unsure, so few people call themselves warriors these days.

There are no kings left in the south, and for whom are you fighting?

But Kembert didn't care, all he needed was a topic to talk about. Kembert was obviously a very enthusiastic person, and on the way he kept chatting with Thor, half boasting and half sighing about old things.

Elaine, on the other hand, walked with Lorna and got caught up in the topic of the woman herself.

There were no specific dangers during the whole trip, and it was even a little leisurely. It felt like they hadn't walked long, and under the guidance of Kembert, everyone soon came to the edge of the Wailing Lake, their destination.

This seems to be a large lake, but it is impossible to tell the exact size of the lake from the local area because of the limited view.

"Ahh Looking at the corner of the lake, Saul's ears suddenly sounded Sevana's whisper of resentment, and for a moment he was a little stunned, and smiled slightly.

"That stele should be somewhere by the lake, so let's walk around the lake first, and everyone should pay more attention on the way. Lorna was the first to suggest that she, as the initiator of the adventure, had no opinion.

Then the group began to march along the lakeside, with Thor walking beside Lorna, and Kembert and Elaine chatting together.

Thor seemed to smell something strange on the way, the smell of aquatic weeds, or silt?

It turned out that there was a stone monument, and before they had finished half the lake, they found a tall stone monument hidden under moss and vines, at least taller than Lorna, erected in the wetland by the lake.

Sol took a closer look, and the record on the stone tablet was neither the current human script nor the continental lingua franca, so he couldn't understand it at all, and soon lost interest.

After thanking everyone, Lorna began her own rubbing.

After Saul had helped her to roughly clean the tablet, she first applied some kind of special pigment to the tablet, and then gently covered the text with several small pieces of prepared parchment, carefully and carefully rubbing the text on the tablet.

"Hey, man, help me look at the point, I'll leave with Elaine for a while. Kembert pulled Thor, who had nothing to do, to the side, with an expression that a man would understand.

Thor smiled knowingly and nodded, adventurers sometimes get into the heat, and it's not uncommon for a temporary bush to be drilled.

"Is a little bit enough?" said Thor, quipping in passing.

Kenbert laughed and left.

I don't know how long it took, but Thor was a little bored standing next to Lorna, rumored to be dangerous, but it seemed to be calm.

"Actually, this stele has another name, called the Scarlet Stele. At one point, Lorna suddenly smiled mysteriously.
