Chapter 50: The Shadow of the Past

That was years ago, when he was still in the High Forest learning the magic arrows of the Elven Scouts, fighting the bloody hunt of the Marat Cultists, and preventing the Santarim and the Nethers from passing through.

The largest forest in Faeron is located south of Silvermoon City, Neverwinter and Waterdeep City far to the east, to the west of the Great Desert.

This primeval forest is where the Golden Elven Dynasty began and fell more than 30,000 years ago, 5,000 years ago when the Nethriel discovered the golden skin of the Cosmos Serpent, known as the Nether Scroll, in the ruins, and 2,000 years ago, Carsus cast his famous 12-ring spell and fell into the forest with his floating city.

Before Netherworld returned to the main plane, Netherel was only a legend known to a handful of scholars. But since then, countless greedy adventurers have come here in search of the knowledge left behind by the Grand Arcanist...... and strength.

Thomas carried the unconscious mage on his back like a sack, and hurried up the hill, and the cat ninja ran ahead to find the way. His mind diverged: "The spell he just used...... The power is not small, and the momentum of the explosion seems to be stronger than my few arrows. And the good thing about magic is that it won't be restrained too much by the monster's body structure...... But why does it look like it's being used by those evil spellcasters who are trying to take the remnants of Cassus' soul?"

In the Supreme Forest lies a red hill rumored to have been incarnated by the Grand Arcanist Carsus, on which rises an abandoned temple made of pink marble, from which blood-red streams flow, staining the rivers into which it flows.

Around the hills, chaotic and fluctuating heavy magic fields cause rain of blood, snow, fireballs, and other weather, and also petrify and blacken the trees around the hills, creating an area known as the "Forest of Terror". It was very easy to identify, as there was also an enchantment of pure white oak trees on the periphery, preventing the heavy mana field inside from affecting the outside world.

Not long after the Yin Soul City arrived in Feren, a certain prince who claimed to be a magical genius once broke into the Supreme Forest...... Then he was used as a stepping stone to fame by the current Pope Amanata, who was still very young at that time, and was beaten with a hammer until he vomited blood and fled.

Thinking that he was caught insulting his cabbage and was not killed on the spot, Thomas felt that he was really blessed.

"Sure enough, big breasts are the only criterion for verifying faith, just as the Duke of Orleans commented on Joan of Arc - the bust of the dress must be greatly enlarged!!"

In addition, Joan of Arc's wearing suspenders is also completely in line with justice, and the English who disobey the will of the people are destined to be spurned.

Through the silk mage robe, he felt that the hips of Kurgal's flesh were as soft as the rest of the body, as if they were boneless, and there was something else in his hand: "Hmm...... The pulses of the femoral and dorsalis pedis arteries are getting weaker...... Oops, it's not easy to breathe!"

The ranger's eagle-like gaze scanned the surroundings, and in an instant he found a place to hide temporarily. He lowered the female mage towards the rock, making her head tilt back to keep her airway open: "Baihua, help me keep guard." ”

In response to the telepathic link, the cat ninja hid under a nearby tree, his ears and eyes watching the movement.

Thomas reached for a handkerchief that had been brought from Cattown to the present and wiped away secretions from her mouth and nose to prevent clogging.

In order to ensure that the pressure of the heart could still work through the clothes and fat, he pressed so hard and fast that he could almost hear the deformation of his ribs.

It's time for artificial respiration, looking at Kurgal's already purple lips, Thomas hesitated: "If it's a pure girl, forget it, do I really want to kiss the transformation boss of the girl's body and man's heart?"

The tragedy of same-sex kissing must not be allowed to happen!

Thomas kept massaging her heart with his right hand, covering her mouth with his left hand to avoid touching her tongue and pulling her tongue to prevent it from falling. He took a deep breath and blew through his nose. And so on and so forth.

After touching it, after confirming that Kurgal's heartbeat and breathing were back to normal, Thomas habitually opened the character bar and looked at it, and the experience points increased by an insignificant fraction.

He was content with his actions to help others, especially when the experience bar was moving forward.

"That's right, a big hero like me, it's in line with my identity, ambition and aesthetics to fight for righteousness and fight injustice for the way of heaven to eradicate rape and evil!"

However, repeatedly saving someone always reminds him of Saint Seiya......

"It was about three years ago, and there was news from the red-robed rebel group of the Cell-liberated organization that there might be a red-robed stronghold hidden in the Supreme Forest......"

The stronghold is said to be a relic of ancient elven high magic, and the Golden Elven Dynasty used portals to move between the world and planes, and the red-robed mages loyal to the Lich King discovered it and prepared it to transport monsters and soldiers.

After using the portal to reach the Red Robed Lab, the Rebel says that the Lich King Sazastan has seen the future - and that the following era will change dramatically, including power, nation, magic, and plane, as well as drastic changes in the divine system. In order to take advantage of this opportunity to be listed on the reshaped tablet of destiny and become an immortal and powerful being like the gods, it urgently needs to study the theory of time and space.

With the intelligence support of the traitors, the raiding team quickly rescued the traversers and voters who had been captured and collected by the red robes from the laboratory.

Thomas then sees Kurgal, who has been tortured to the point of not being humanoid, being treated in a petri dish, and next to a demon cub with the breath of purgatory.

To this day, his first thought when he saw her was, "It's okay, it's just Egyptian." "I feel a little guilty.

After the mage who accompanied him understood the operation and released Kurgal. Indignant, Thomas threw the little monster down, took off his cloak and wrapped around her, and after healing his injuries, he retreated with the large army. It's a pity that the bald red-robed mage who tortured her saw the opportunity too quickly and immediately teleported away.

But even after suffering such cruel treatment, Kurgal still maintained a resolute look when Thomas and his teammates rushed in to save people, and watched those red robes and assistants being knocked down and broke out of the can, only to cry out weakly and powerlessly: "Help me......"

Later, Thomas learned that he had seen him on the Tianya forum a long time ago, and even talked to him in the QQ group.

"He's really a tough guy, much better than me! The other traversers rescued were basically waste, and most of them were killed and injured in a few years. He's a mixed bag. "But that's the end of it, I guess he also followed those rumors who didn't know what to say before he aspired to become a mage, and he didn't know what the true power of the multiverse was hidden." The Star Ranger is the strongest, and even if others get the plug-in and cheat, they can't match it at all. I've been delayed for a few years, but with the cat by my side, I won't be confused anymore, and I'll catch up and overtake you soon!"

Kurgal coughed twice and seemed to be about to wake up, and Thomas quickly put away his hands and dirty thoughts that were about to disobey, and squeezed out a smile.

The mage struggled to sit up, trying to find the enemy she had fought before losing consciousness, and her unfocused eyes rolled for a moment before she saw the ranger leaning over at her.

Her first reaction was to touch her face, where the scratch was still painful, but she didn't notice the liquid she was coming out.

"Oh no, he must have seen it. Kurgal's face burned hotly: "Ah, forget it, anyway, what kind of ugliness has not appeared in front of him?" Alas...... I've managed to build an image. ”

"Very well, since you're awake. Do you know what the monster was just now?"

The female mage pursed her lips: "I think it may be a combination of negative energy and the wind element, or the immortal form of the wind element? Her voice was hoarse and magnetic, very different from what he remembered.

Thomas nodded, Cortana's data showed that the kind of pumping attack could only be carried by physical fitness, and the ability to resist attacks and the tenacity immunity brought by the upgrade had no effect.

"Strange, I thought you were so fat, you would have a stronger physique. ”

"Hu, nonsense! I'm plump!"

Kurgal was furious, and people were very worried about the safety of the mage robe. She sat with her cheeks puffed out for a while, and finally tried to stand up, but she was still a little dizzy and shaky.

Avoiding the flesh on her body, the Ranger reached out and gently grabbed the female mage's elbow. But Kurgal still felt a wave of warmth pass through his fingertips.

She lowered her head, her hair covering her eyes.

"Thank you for coming to my rescue last time. Thomas smiled and said, "Feel honored, there will never be such a chance again! I have mastered the 2-ring ranger magic technique, and when I know the 3-ring, I will be invincible." At that time, I was the only hero to save others. ”

Kurgal knew that the Ranger and Paladin's magic seemed to have a low ring number, but many of the effects were very powerful, and in some ways could match or even surpass the mage's arcane.

"Phew, you're sick of the Virgin. The mage spat with a mocking smile. For him, who was unwilling to owe himself favors, and for him who began to burn his fighting spirit, Kurgal felt bitter...... and panic.

It's a pity that it wasn't me who could save him, but a cat. But I will always open my eyes all night long, and repay my life for not raising my eyebrows. Great for the cat and him.

"Now that the Black Ice Master Hammerstone has betrayed us and thrown himself on Akar Kaisso. So, happy to work with?"

"As your pink Tyrannosaurus rex said, 'I can tolerate betrayal, but I can't tolerate incompetence'! Kurgal reached out to give him another high-five, but was dodged.

"First of all, I'm a fan of chimpanzees, and secondly, I still don't think black ice is safe...... So don't touch me with that thing. ”

Baihua stood silently aside, nodding her head in approval at this time.

"You see, cats do not tolerate evil and filth. ”

After hesitating, Kurgal took off his gloves and tucked them into his chest.

Her hand was clasped with Thomas.

"Before the news arrives, let's go find Schalke, and by the way, rob Hammerstone's black ice equipment?"

"Hehe, I've left them all in the Atlas. Later, when he saw the illusion of the Crystal Tower, he realized that he might have a conspiracy. ”

"What if you don't mean to hurt me?"

"Then I'll play my normal role as a sniper and harass you mining there all the time - I know you're not going to do anything to me anyway, and there's nothing else to be afraid of. ”

"If you don't get ambushed by undead creatures...... Kurgal also knows that he went down to the bottom to talk to him, otherwise he only needs to use range sniping.

"Segera-dipindahkan-ke-tempat-yang-ditunjuk, pesawat-tidak-dapat-melakukan-perjalanan, teleport!"

Kurgal held the Ranger's hand tightly, and his hand touched the cat's head, and the three of them teleported together to the room that Hammerstone had prepared for Kurgal.

Putting away his own manuscripts, Kurgal cast invisibility for the trio, found the Drow Assassin, and slipped to Silverstream's side.

In the distance, Thomas's keen ears heard the poet's gentle, slightly magnetic baritone. Not wanting to destroy other people's feelings, he hurriedly shook off the hand that had been holding him since just now.

Ewell, who was discussing defense matters with the dwarves at the entrance, saw the female mage following the ranger, with a smile on her lips and a shy look on her eyebrows, and he couldn't help but be taken aback: "You took her to sleep when you went out?" Kurgal's expression was also a little empty, different from the real fight......"

The poet's gaze focused on the ranger's uncomfortably moving fingers: "Could it be with your hands? Yes, definitely with your hands." To become a Ranger, your hands must be dexterous and strong!"

"With her, it's enough to beat a hundred. Paraphrased Seiya's words of praise for Ikki, Thomas introduced to Silverstream and the others. Although it is not clear about the specific combat effectiveness of Kurgal, everyone still chooses to believe his boasting.

Based on the news that Thomas had the gnomes bring back, the dwarven priests began work on their defenses against the undead.

Stoke Silverbrook's face grew more and more melancholy in the face of the ensuing problems, but the change of favor from the people who had been on the side of Hammerstone made him feel that this might be a harbinger of change.

Silverstream didn't care about the possibility of the female mage going undercover, and Hammerstone wouldn't use the killing and wounding of his men to attack Thomas, which didn't fit the dwarf's thinking.

Late at night, Thomas, who had been on the road all day, fell into a deep sleep. Everything was back on track, and in a safe zone, and he had a sweet dream against the norm of several years.

Kurgal had asked for her room to be assigned next to Thomas, and she cast invisibility, activated the Ring of Silence, pushed the door open, and swaggered into his room.

I looked around, but I didn't notice any sign of the cat that was in the way. "Probably going to the kitchen to steal food?"

"Grass, if you want to hold a hand, you are pretending to be pure there? Today Lao Tzu will put you stupid bird hehehehe......"

With a smug smile, Kurgal, who had been hungry for a month, rubbed his hands, and couldn't help rubbing his feet, he couldn't wait.
