In addition to having a fountain of life, Fort Twin Springs also has a lava fountain at the other end of the city, hence the city's name. The lava fountain is guarded by the Forge Guild, and the fountain of life is surrounded by spirits who come here.

Marlowe's home is on the edge of the Fountain of Life, and the neighbors around it are basically elven families who are married to other people, but Marlowe is the only one who has children, so Marlowe and Alya, who came later, have become the common children of these families, and everyone loves them both.

After washing off the dust in the bathroom at home, Marlowe changed into a clean white robe and walked to the edge of the fountain of life, holding a spotless silver cup and praying.

"Thank you to the goddess of the moon for her light to shine on the earth, and to the goddess of life for blessing me with good health. ”

Slowly scooping up the spring water glowing with the silver moon, Marlowe drank it down. Marlowe was seventeen years old, perhaps because he was a half-breed, and his physical condition was not very good when he was born, and he could even be described as frail and sickly, or Gina fed him a glass of spring water every day that made him barely live to the age of ten, maybe it was because he had been drinking it for a long time, or maybe because the orc blood had finally begun to show its due tenacious personality, Marlowe has been getting stronger and stronger day by day, and has become less and less dependent on the fountain of life, and now, this spring water can only be regarded as a spring for him to nourish his body and relieve fatigue。

"You kid, how can you drink the water of the Fountain of Life in such a rude manner?" Aunt Penny, who was passing by with various vegetables, saw Marlowe's actions and hurriedly reproached.

Aunt Petunia is a human from Rodin's kingdom, and her husband is an elf from the Shadowmoon Forest, and because her husband is a fellow villager with Marlowe's mother, the relationship between the two families is closer than that of several other neighbors.

Hearing this, Marlowe quickly licked the water from his lips, then smiled and held the silver cup upside down in front of him and said, "Aunt Penny, I didn't waste a drop of holy water." ”

"Are you talking back, you bastard?" Aunt Petunia picked up a handful of greens and made a gesture to fight. "Hey, I'm grumpy. ”

In fact, Aunt Penny doesn't really do it, this circle of neighbors like Marlowe very much, but sometimes Marlowe's behavior can faintly see the rough and bold shadow of the orcs, everyone hopes that he can change before talking about him, after all, many races are prejudiced against orcs, and there are even fewer intermarriages, interracial marriage is considered an outlier, and the combination of Gina and Tunak is an outlier among the outliers, everyone doesn't know the situation and hasn't seen Marlowe's father, so they always criticize some of Marlowe's behaviors.

"Bastard, you stop me!

"Hahaha, Aunt Penny, I won't chat with you if I have something to do, goodbye ......"

Marlowe didn't want to be caught by Aunt Penny and criticized at home, so he threw the silver cup towards his windowsill, and the silver cup spun around in the air a few times and landed steadily on the windowsill, and then saw that Marlowe had already run away.

Red-tiled and white-walled, flag-laden shops selling items of all ethnic groups, tinkling ironware in the streets, and small, green-skinned goblins in bright costumes shouting to attract passers-by, their expressions and movements are enthusiastic, but the enthusiasm always makes people laugh and laugh. Merchants from all over the mainland gathered in Shuangquanbao to purchase some things of other races, after all, there are still disputes and wars between different races in some areas, and if you want to go to each other's territory to do business, you will only be caught as a spy, so the neutral and very inclusive Shuangquanbao has become an excellent material exchange and distribution center.

This is the street Marlowe is familiar with, he grew up here, and almost all the residents who have lived here know this handsome mixed-race guy who looks tall and big. I don't know how many people I greeted along the way, but Marlowe remained polite and humble.

Walking to his destination, Marlowe looked up at the three-story building in front of him, where nothing hung in front of it, except for snow-white walls and gently hidden red copper and wooden doors.

Marlowe hesitated, but finally reached out and pushed the door open, and the room was covered with a huge carpet of Podol goat's hair, and nothing else, looking less like a shop and more like an idle house. Before Marlowe could speak, a lazy female voice could be heard upstairs that could make people's bones crisp.

"Our handsome guy is back, come on, there are no guests here. ”

Marlowe had already experienced the abilities of the other party's unpredictable prophets, so he didn't show a look of surprise, took off his shoes and went up to the second floor. I saw a lazy purple-haired woman lying in the center of the second floor, this woman's facial features were more delicate than those of elves, and there was a sense of charm that made people's blood boil when she smiled. She wore a pair of pendant earrings studded with fine gemstones, a palm-wide bandeau just enough to cover half of the pair of "terrible" murder weapons on her chest, and her thick long hair was casually draped and looked a little messy, as if she had just woken up.

Marlowe put his hands on his chest and bowed: "Good afternoon, Lord Chessia." ”

The beautiful woman in front of her coiled her snake body, sat up straight and saluted back, "Good afternoon, Marlo Vivia, war cry." ”

Yes, this is one of the rulers of Twin Springs, the halfling serpent Lady Checia, whom the inhabitants of the city respectfully call her, but the other halflings prefer to call her the Serpent of Temptation. It would be flattering for such an approachable being to be such an admirable demigod to give a tribute to an ordinary half-breed, but it is no surprise to the people of Twin Springs.

"Is this safari out still enjoyable, my lad. Checia asked with a smile on her face. "Oh, I see, you're the one who asks for sin, right?"

Marlowe didn't have the slightest hint of banter on her face, but there was a hint of amusement in her words. Marlowe respects one of the guardians of Fort Twin Springs, so he just wants to come over and communicate with the other party, hoping that the next time Arya comes over, the other party won't teach some strange things.

"Dear Lord Checia, Arya seems to have learned something strange from you, after all, as a pure-blood elf she is not yet an adult, as his older brother, I feel the need to come and communicate with you......"

Marlowe finished his thoughts in a consultative tone as much as possible without being rude, Checia calmly watched Marlowe finish speaking, and then casually wrapped her shiny tail around Marlowe's ankle, the smooth snake tail seemed to have life alone, climbing up along Marlowe's body in a circle, and finally reached Marlowe's neck, and Marlowe did not move at all during the whole process, because he had already been imprisoned by the other party's spell.

"Marlo Vivia, Warcry, you know, Arya isn't your own sister, and I'm mad at your trumped-up accusations. ”

Cecia's snake tail gently rubbed between Marlowe's neck, looking like an intimacy between lovers**, Cecia was not satisfied with this, her body slowly rose, and soon her delicate face appeared in front of Marlowe's eyes, and the faces of the two were almost close together.

"Do you want to apologize, my handsome boy?"
