Besides a clean bolder, Soran sat while chewing jerky. Gloria didn’t seem to have a good appetite; she only ate a little and had put her food down. Northern Witches were of noble origin and they disliked food of poor quality. They would often only eat some snacks they carried with them in the wild and drank fresh water. Vivian, however, was not picky at all. Whether it was a delicious hot meal or some tasteless dry food, the little girl would enjoy it. She even raised her little white hand to help Soran wipe his mouth.
Who is it?!
Soran suddenly stopped eating the dried food in his hand, jumped up in an instant, pulled out his machete, and asked,
Who is it?
Come out quickly! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!
Gloria also responded very quickly. She took out a magical staff from her multi-dimensional bag in an instant. The gems on the staff that stored magic gave out a faint glimmer. Little Vivian stood behind Soran with a weary expression. She looked up at the woods not far away, with a strange expression, almost as if she was still a little confused.
I’m sorry!
A sexy voice rang out, and a very handsome Elven Ranger came out. He stood there whole, which was utterly impressive. If the appearance of Soran, who had a trace of Elven lineage was more handsome and elegant then ordinary people, then the Elven Ranger in front of them was even more handsome, almost inhumanely handsome. With just one look, men and women would be affected by his handsome appearance for some time. He was like the main character in many stories, so handsome that with even one glance ladies would blush and their would hearts flutter.
This truly was a handsome Elven Ranger.
Even Soran could not describe his appearance, the only thing he could think of was the fact that the Elf must have been favored by the Elven Deities.
Gloria’s eyes lit up for a moment, then she frowned slightly.
The Northern Witch also retained the characteristics of the Northern people. They appreciate those who were persistent and strong. The Elven Ranger in front of them was too attractive; to the point where it something seemed off.
The Elven Ranger landed on the ground lightly. As he was jumping down, he looked at Soran’s face, then glanced at Gloria, and finally stopped at Vivian. Then he said,
I’m mean no harm, just passing by.
Soran did not relax one bit and said,
Then, please be on your way.
The Elven Ranger did not leave immediately. He smiled and seemed very friendly. He took a step forward and said,
Don’t be nervous. I am a Ranger who believes in the God of Nature.
Stop right there!
Soran said with a serious expression, then continued,
We don’t know who you are, so please leave.
The Elven Ranger’s eyebrows frowned slightly. He glanced at Soran, then turned to Gloria. He showed her a charming smile and slowly said,
Respectable lady. Your companion doesn’t seem very friendly to me. I think he may have misunderstood me. I’m just passing by and since it’s dangerous to travel alone in the wilderness, maybe we could travel together. May I ask where you are headed?
Gloria gently tucked back her long hair. Her expression was covered by the vail but she said:
Back off, stranger.
At that moment, Vivian suddenly tugged at Soran’s shirt with her small hand and whispered,
Brother. This man looks familiar, but I probably haven’t seen him before.
The little girl had a very good memory, thus she was able to remember most of the people she met.
The Elven Ranger in front of them had excellent ear power. He seems to have heard Vivian’s words. He looked at Vivian and showed a kind smile then said,
Hello, lovely little girl.
You too, seem quite familiar. Perhaps we’ve met before.
Soran and Gloria glanced at each other, their faces were even more serious.
Although the Elven Ranger in front of them looked very striking and his smile was harmless to human beings and animals, he couldn’t relax Soran and Gloria. When they first met Aladdin, he stood by the roadside, saw them then jumped up to wave and shout. They knew immediately that he had no hostility. However, the Elven Ranger in front of them was different. He approached them quietly and it was not until Soran had noticed him that he was forced to come out. They thought that the friendly smile was just a disguise.
He was surely good at acting!
The Elven Ranger did not seem to have expected such a situation. With his handsome appearance and friendly and harmless smile, he seldom aroused hostility from others. But the two people in front of him were hostile the moment they noticed him. No matter how well he smiled and tried to be friendly, he could not change the attitude of the two. If he had walked up to them directly, Soran would not have been so hostile. But since he was spotted after sneaking around, Soran and Gloria were on very high alert.
Vivian rubbed her nose slightly and whispered,
Brother, tell him to go.
The three of them stood their guard. The Elven Ranger’s expression was somewhat stiff, but he still smiled reluctantly. As soon as he stepped back into the forest, his expression became duller.
In fact, the Elf did pass by because of some accident and found them by chance. He approached them as if he felt something tugging in his heart, but he was rejected because he sneaked around. At first, he just wanted to observe them quietly, but he did not expect to be discovered by Soran just when he lurked close.
He is a pretty good Rogue!
The Elven Ranger’s Sneak was also very strong. Soran must be more experienced than him in Sneak.
The Elf did not know how Soran found him, but he knew Soran must be a pretty good Rogue.
Soran kept his knife hand until he was sure that the other party had left, then nodded and murmured,
Let’s move on. There was something wrong with that Elf just now.
Gloria looked at the road ahead and swiftly cast Lighten Object on herself.
Soran carried Vivian on his back and the three continue to move forward. Those who are proficient in Sneak could naturally find signs of Sneak, so it would take at least 150 Sneak to hide from Soran’s perception. Even though the Elven Ranger was proficient in Sneak, he was not as proficient as a professional Rogue. However, If Aladdin, a Halfling, sneaked in, Soran would not be able to spot him that easily.
This was Elven territory,
Thus, it was normal to encounter Elven Rangers here.
Soran carried Vivian on his back and continued to travel. Gloria, however, seemed to have something on her mind as she kept looking back from time to time.
What’s the matter?
Soran noticed her action and asked.
Is there something wrong?
Gloria was silent for a while.
Then moved her lips slightly and used a level 0 spell Message,
That man just now somewhat resembles Vivian! There also seems to be something different about him!
Plus, he was too handsome, too handsome for any Elf!
That was what Soran heard, but what came out of her mouth was,
Nothing. Just checking if that Elf is following us.
Elves were handsome. But, the Elven Ranger just now was not only handsome, but his appearance was also even able to affect people’s attitude.
As if he had been gifted the talent of temptation. As if anyone who came close to him would have to go through the test of Wills to leave unaffected.
Soran was just about to say he was thinking about, but suddenly there was a dull roar behind him. It sounded a bit like an Orc; Orcs had a unique wild roar. Soran immediately got ready for battle. Gloria, also, immediately cast protective magic and pulled Vivian behind her.
Whoooo!
The howling of a Gnoll sounded as if it were a sign, and all kinds of howling came in all directions. The howling sounds were mixed but Soran was even able to hear a cheetah’s growl. The sounds were not far from them, there were even roars of battle as the sounds got closer and closer!
This is bad!
Soran’s expression changed in an instant, pulled Gloria and said,
It’s the Malarites, we have to get away, quickly!
