The Swordsman of Faerûn

The Three Fools took away William's fine gold war gun, but now they returned another super-large war gun, and it looked pretty good, which made William murmur.

Sanyu's voice was still hoarse like a stone, and it said: "I heard that you contracted a little golden dragon, so I will give you a dragon gun as a congratulatory gift. This should be more in line with human etiquette. As for the other one you mentioned The gun, I snatched it from a puppet, it is my trophy, and its ownership has nothing to do with you."

William smiled, this bird is also arrogant, he smiled and said: "That's not allowed! You are deliberately looking for opportunities to take advantage of me when I am not at home. But my lord has a lot, look at the one you sent For the sake of the big guys, even if I lent you the battle gun."

Sanyu snorted coldly, as if he didn't bother to refute.

William took a closer look at the dragon gun again, only to find that the barrel of this battle gun was made of mithril, engraved with thick dragon patterns on it, which felt very comfortable to the touch.The blade of the dragon gun is ivory white, as if carved from the teeth of some giant beast. There is a dragon-shaped mouth at the junction of the blade and the shaft, and it looks as if the blade is extending from the mouth of a dragon. .

William asked curiously: "Brother Sanyu, what's the use of this thing?"

Sanyu said: "Did your little female dragon enter a dormant state? This dragon gun can help you solve your worries."

Oh?Can you relieve my worries?William immediately became interested, and he hurriedly asked for advice humbly.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Sanyu said: "This dragon gun is not a creation of this plane, but comes from a foreign plane named Klein, where the dragon knight is the one who dominates everything. The dragon gun is the weapon of the dragon knight. , is also the destination of the giant dragon, because it connects to a kingdom that only has dragons."

Then Sanyu instructed William how to bind the dragon gun to the dragon, and how to turn the dragon gun into a finger-sized dragon whistle and reversed secret words.Through the dragon whistle, the sleeping bound dragon can be sent back to the dragon world for protection. When the dragon knight needs it, the dragon whistle can be blown to summon the dragon to come.Of course, if the dragon wakes up, he can also locate the dragon whistle by himself and return to the dragon knight on his own initiative.

The dragon gun is indeed very useful, and it solved William’s urgent need. He happily accepted the gift, and said obediently after getting a cheap price: "Brother Sanyu! Thank you for your gift, it is really useful to me. By the way, why did you remember to give me a gift? Did you know that I made you famous in the south? In fact, you don’t have to be polite, we are all acquaintances, and mutual help is the right thing to do.”

If the Three Fools could understand the ridicule in William's words, they would probably have to turn their heads and do it on the spot. Fortunately, the sword-winged mantis is not a race that is good at talking skills. The members did not fight William, but told him a very terrible news.

Not long ago, a Sarukh witch left Orem's underground resting place, and he will go to the depths of the Ezehart Mountains to awaken more members of the Salamanders.

The Three Fools suspected that the Sarukh witch was targeting William. After all, William hooked up with the members of Nasir, especially in the past few days, the great arcanists of Nether have been dispatched in groups and spared no effort to help William's family. The behavior of returning made the guards of Baietis (the organization of Sarukh witches) very worried.

After all, it is impossible for the leaders of the Remnants of Nether to help an ordinary person meaninglessly. Each of their special movements has a deep meaning. The Sarukh witches are worried that William will become a battle between the two sides in the main plane. The winning piece.During the last Dawn Calamity, they successfully destroyed a pawn that was about to belong to the Netherese. It was a turmoil among the gods initiated by the Lord of Dawn to establish a light god system, but in the end it failed. It ended and led to the downfall of two great empires and an entire pantheon.

Now, another turmoil among the gods is happening, and the Sarukh witches never want the past to repeat itself in another way.

Sanyu can't guarantee that his guess is correct, but this news is very important to William, because he has already faintly felt a terrible sense of depression from the north, and the reason why it has not completely turned into a deadly sense of crisis, It should be that the awakening action of the Sarukh witch has not yet officially started.

William was a little surprised why Sanyu wanted to help him. Even if the two of them were rivals and cared for each other, it would not be possible for an ancient monster to crawl to such an extent. William would have to drink Erguotou to think of his charm. It will be so big that it will bow down.

However, he didn't ask why. Now William would no longer underestimate any intelligent creature with a brain. The mantis monster in front of him must have his own calculations, but as long as the result is harmless and beneficial to him, he is also happy to pretend to be confused.

So William waved his hand and just said thank you, then turned and returned to the campsite, while Sanyu looked at his back with a gloomy expression, and turned away after a while.

In the early morning of the next day, under the watchful eyes of his family and friends, William successfully sent Miss Jinlong to the Kingdom of Dragons, a legendary world where there are only dragons. Journey to the Great Desert of Nook.

After entering the Eta Mirror Wasteland, the creatures along the way began to increase. Whether it is drought-tolerant plants or some small animals and insects, they can be seen everywhere on the Eta Mirror Wasteland. A land of prosperity comparable to the Saiyada Grassland.

It is a pity that the geological structure and geographical location of the Eta Mirror Wasteland are not very friendly. This is a typical near-karst landform area, with many hills on the surface, stone forests, and crisscross ridges of stone beams, making transportation extremely difficult and nomadic. , the barren environment cannot afford the tribe-based Bedai barbarians to gain a foothold here.

However, the Mirror Wasteland of Eta borders the Ezehart Mountains (the lair of the Ethiopian Sand Lizards) in the north, and invades the Scimitar Peak Mountains in the south. It is also difficult for intelligent life in villages to survive safely.

However, a group of lunatics determined to rule the world have made amazing achievements in the development of the Eta Mirror Wasteland.The Zhentarim Society, the vicious organization that William had encountered before, spent nearly a hundred years investigating and sorting out the terrain of the Eta Mirror Wasteland, and built a permanent commercial road with decent road conditions - the black road.

William led Mo Xiao, and Mo Xiao carried Misha and Miluna on Mo Xiao's back, and Phinea and Tabari walked in the front and rear. They walked on the rugged and winding stone road, which seemed like a labyrinth. Feel.

You may have walked for a long time, but when you lowered your head, you found yourself back near the starting point, but on a stone beam more than ten meters higher than the starting point, and then walked for a long time, but came to the place just now. In the low-lying ravine next to the place.

Even though William came from the country known as the "infrastructure madman", he couldn't help but admire those who opened up this poor land. It's not that the people of the Zhentarim created such a great spectacle, but No matter what the purpose of their conquest and transformation of nature, he can't help but feel sympathy for the feeling that man can conquer nature.

After going deep into the mirror wilderness of Eta, William and the others saw the first human building, an ugly house built with stones and hay next to the rock wall. Waiting for people still feel extraordinarily kind.After all, they have been dealing with sandstorms, rocks and weeds for the past few days, and it is rare to see human creations.

When William and the others came to the house, what they saw was not a human being, but a rough-looking dwarf.The dwarf was wearing an old and dirty leather jacket, and he was not very enthusiastic when he saw the visitors. He looked at William's family expressionlessly, and his eyes stayed on the Pegasus Mo Xiao for the longest time.

The dwarf asked lazily, "guest, where are you from?"

William stepped forward and replied, "We are travelers from Waterdeep, and we are about to cross this terrible wasteland. Where is this place?"

The dwarf's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he said: "This is the Half Basin Water Hotel, the first western site of the Mirror of Eta. I am the owner, waiter and chef of the hotel, Kimmel Durind, a man from Tet Remnants of Sen Valley (which was destroyed by the Zhentarim decades ago)."

At this time, Misha'er, who had jumped off the horse, came forward and asked curiously, "Why is this place called 'Half Basin of Water'?"

The dwarf squinted at Misha'er, muttered, "The nose is not sharp enough, and the hair is not curly," and then replied: "Because the water source here can only store half a basin of water a day, it is called a half basin." Water Hotel."

Misha's eyes widened, and she exclaimed happily: "Hotel? Is there a big and soft bed, sweet fruit drink, and hearty barbecue? That's right! I also need a big bathtub. , I want a shower! William—”

The little guy looked at his brother beggingly.

Before William could speak, the dwarf Kimmel sneered unceremoniously: "Are you dreaming? Ignorant little girl! As I have already said, there is only half a basin of water here a day! Not even enough for people to drink , you still want to take a bath?!"

Misha stuck out her tongue, and asked in surprise, "Isn't this a hotel? Little sir, there should be everything in the hotel!"

William patted the little girl, beckoning her to be quiet, and then asked: "Mr. Kimmel, we have been traveling for several days and want to rest here for the night. Can you provide us with accommodation and water?"

Kimmel said: "You can set up tents in front of my house. For food, I can only sell you a pot of clean water that I just received in the past two days. The food is only taro roots, dried tarantula balls and dried small lizards. , do you want to try it?"

Feniya lowered her head and asked curiously, "Is it delicious?"

Kimmel raised his head and muttered: "You are so tall! A human woman is as tall as the big tree in my hometown." Then he said angrily: "Idiot! It would be nice if you can find food to fill your stomach Yes! Do you still want to eat like a king?"

In a difficult environment, one cannot ask for too much. William knew this very well. He thanked the dwarf for his "generous" guidance, and set up a tent on a small open space in front of the house made by a naughty boy, preparing to camp.

Although the dwarf didn't look very good and didn't speak very politely, but his hands and feet were very diligent. When William and the others set up the tent, he had already brought out all the special food here.

There are taro roots as thick as the beginning of the word, dried tarantula balls with a fluffy appearance, dried small lizard meat, and a basin of slightly turbid clear water.

The whole family stared blankly at these dark dishes with a slightly unique taste, and couldn't help but look at each other. Even Phineya, who didn't care much about the taste of food, didn't want to touch these things, including the basin of clear water.

William smiled dryly, and said to Kimmel: "Sir, please put away all your food, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to enjoy these delicacies."

He pronounced the word "food" very hard.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The dwarf looked at everyone with a sneer, and said disdainfully: "Sure enough, they are a group of chicks who have never traveled far! Listen to my advice, in this place where birds don't lay eggs, it would be nice to have something to eat. Ask for food? Why don’t you go to heaven?!”

William naturally didn't care about the ridicule of the dwarf Kimmel. In fact, according to common sense, the hotel owner, who is not even as big as two little girls, is absolutely insightful.However, the William family in front of Mr. Dwarf are not normal people, so naturally they cannot be judged by common sense.

William took out all kinds of food from his collection without any scruples, including the melons, fruits and vegetables he picked up when he was in Calimport. They were all seasonal dishes prepared for him by those thousand-year-old nobles and ruling elites, but they were all for sale. A boutique that looks and tastes great.

William took out a melon the size of a human head, and the dwarf couldn't help but froze for a moment.

William took out a large bunch of crystal agate-like grapes, and the dwarf's eyes widened.

William took out a small pile of big peaches that were as bright red as a monkey's butt, and the dwarf's mouth was almost open enough to fit a fist.

William took out several large watermelons from the sand, and slapped them away, revealing the blood-red sandy juice, the dwarf only had a greedy look of swallowing his saliva.

……

As an old man who is used to the frost, wind, snow and rain on the black road, the dwarf has encountered all kinds of passers-by, some are innocent and kind, some are vicious and cunning, some are vicious and domineering, but Kimmel can rely on Standing here as a dwarf who is not good at strength, his heart and ability can be seen.

But when he saw the pile of fruits that William brought out, he immediately lost his former calmness and rationality, without him, because it had been too long since Kimmel had seen fresh melons and fruits, so long that he almost Forgot the taste of home.

Oh Tesen Valley!The paradise-like hometown with the fragrance of melons and fruits.

Kimmel tremblingly begged: "First... Sir, can I... Can I have a taste of your fruit?" The dwarf knew that his request was too presumptuous. After all, on the black road, the value of fresh melons and fruits is far more than any precious fruit. It's just that he really can't bear the nostalgia for the taste of his hometown.

William is not a stingy person. While taking a large piece of bread and fresh meat from the Fire Spirit armband, he said with a cheerful smile: "Mr. Jimmore, you are welcome. Since we are staying at your place, we should naturally Thank you for being the one, there are some full-bodied food on the left and right, if you don’t mind, you can enjoy it with my family.”

William is not a fool, of course he doesn't understand the value of fresh melons and fruits in the desert and the wasteland Gobi. The reason why he is so generous is because of his temperament, he doesn't like to cherish himself with a broom, and he also has the help of this situation in front of him. A place where the top snake.

Not to mention anything else, just Jimmore's familiarity with the local environment is what William attaches great importance to. As long as Mr. Dwarf can sincerely guide him and his family, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort and save a lot of worry in the next journey.

As night fell, William set up the saucepan and began to simmer the broth, and the large pieces of fresh meat were also cut into thin strips and thrown into it.There is a lack of firewood in the Gobi desert, but it is not difficult for William who can enter and leave the flame world at any time. The flame world is full of combustible fuels, ranging from various oil and gas resources to solid carbon rocks.

Although Gilmore was quite surprised by the few burning "stones" that William grabbed at random, he was more focused on the fruits and vegetables in his hand. He ate half a piece of watermelon with the skin and skin slowly, carefully and carefully. Tasting the taste of it, the tears of tasting burst into tears.This surprised the two little girls who were also holding half a piece of watermelon and eating happily. They looked at this little girl who was crying like a child curiously, and had inexplicable doubts in their hearts. Is the watermelon really so bad? , You were crying because of it.

The two of them even secretly tasted the watermelon rind, then frowned and spit it out.The watermelon rind is indeed not very delicious, but it is not so unpalatable that tears flow, and it is not the kind of spicy "poison" that makes the throat angry.

Mi Sha'er kindly reminded secretly: "Small man, don't cry! You can't eat melon skin, only the red flesh is delicious."

Only then did the dwarf notice his gaffe, he quickly wiped away his tears, and then argued stiffly: "Who... who's crying? I just got sand in my eyes. Aha! There's been a lot of wind and sand today! "

The little guy looked up at the dim sky, stretched out his hand to sense the air, and then snorted dissatisfiedly, the liar, there is no wind at all, where is the sand coming from!

Misha decided to ignore the lying villain and whisper to Miluna instead.

Melons, fruits and vegetables are not the staple food for dinner. When the meat in the stew pot is cooked, William, as the default leader and chef, served a bowl of stewed meat for everyone, including the dwarf Jimmore who was eating and drinking. Among them, Phiniya's bowl is the largest, and nearly half of the fresh meat is in the container no smaller than half a saucepan.

William's bowl was not too small. He broke the dry bread and soaked it in the broth, and then ate it in big mouthfuls. Others followed suit. They had long admired William's knowledge about eating to the point of superstition. This is definitely not inferior to their belief in William's force.

Drinking hot and delicious broth and eating delicious stew, Kimmel felt his dead and numb heart come alive again, as if he had been injected with a new force, he secretly looked at This group of special guests wanted to remind a few important things, but they held back the words.

Because Kimmel thought of his past, the unbearable experience made him unable to extricate himself, after all, he is not a good person.

William quickly ate up his own food, since he advanced to the Flame Lord, he didn't care much about his eating speed.Of course, this is not a good change, after all, it is not conducive to diet and health. In theory, eating slowly is the kingly way.

He twirled a piece of cantaloupe and chewed it slowly, it was the after-dinner refreshment.William looked at the dwarf with a strange expression, and asked chattingly: "Mr. Kimmel, you are opening a hotel here, so you should be familiar with the terrain and environment here?"

"I've lived here for nearly 20 years, so of course I'm very familiar with it." Kimmel replied absent-mindedly, and soon he realized the purpose of the other party's question, and continued solemnly: "I'm familiar with the people here. Every ravine, every stone beam, I know where to get food, where to hide, where is dangerous Jedi. If you need my help, please ask."

William nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Jimmore, thank you very much for your generosity. In fact, we really need your help. We are being hunted down by a group of terrible and ancient monsters. I believe that within a day or two They will catch up. I need a helper who knows the area very well."

Kimmel was a little confused, this kid is really rude, he hesitated and said: "Sir, to be honest, my fighting skills are not very good, except that I am familiar with the terrain here, I basically don't know how to deal with it." How much help do you provide in battle."

William said with a smile: "The battle belongs to me alone. What I really need is someone who is familiar with the terrain in this area. Please rest assured, Mr. Jimmore, I will pay you."

"Okay then! Please tell me, sir." The dwarf didn't really care about the reward William said, he really just wanted to help the human boy in front of him, because he generously gave him what he wanted.

William smiled and said, "That's great! With your help, I will be safe! By the way, let's get to know each other again. My name is William, a lumberjack from the Northland. These are my family and friends. .”

Kimmel smiled a little, greeted several people again, and then began to explain the terrain characteristics of this area to William under the question.

The next day, William and his party did not rush directly, but began to inspect the special terrain under the guidance of Kimmel. No matter how vivid the dwarf's description was, it was not as intuitive as William's own visit or even a trip.

Deadly killing opportunities have appeared, and they are approaching. William decided to take advantage of the complex terrain on the Eta Mirror Wasteland to have a good fight with those fierce guys, give them a big surprise, and kill their prestige.

There is one more disturbing thing, the action of Turmu in the flame world to recruit the new flame legion is not very smooth, not only because the flame legion that attacked Calimport was wiped out, but even the howling legion of the djinn They also counterattacked the flame world, and almost killed all the flame life near the flames, and there was no source of soldiers for nearly a thousand miles around.

Of course, this is not to say that the djinn are stronger than the djinn, but because the howling army is a djinn that has integrated the invasion force of the wind elemental plane for nearly ten thousand years. It is a real regular army, son William What was summoned at the beginning was a group of wild roads like bandits occupying mountains. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a mob.

Speaking of it, if Turmu hadn't seen the opportunity early, he would have run away as soon as his master reminded him, so he still survived with all his life.

At this time, William wanted to recruit a group of flaming creatures as thugs and cannon fodder, but it was a bit difficult.Even if Tuermu was sent to a region thousands of miles away from the flames to recruit troops, it would still be difficult to quench his thirst at this time.

In this way, he no longer thinks about it, and can only use Tuermu as an emergency thug.Oh, and there were two other djinn at the time. They were rescued by the djinn army as survivors. Although the blind eyes and contempt they suffered afterwards were inevitable, their lives were saved anyway.

The djinns are not very friendly to their master, William, because they know very little about their master, they only know that he is the chief culprit in destroying the core ruling area of ​​Calimport.

William rode the Pegasus Mozi, and took the dwarf Kimmel on a leisurely cruise along the black road. Occasionally they found a special place, and they would all drop down to check it out.

There was a familiar "buzzing" sound in the distance. It was the sound of a spider-eating beast flapping its wings at high speed. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the northern sky, only to see three black spots approaching rapidly.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

William stared at the black spot galloping from the north, let out a breath, and said, "It's finally here! Mr. Gilmore, are you ready?"

The dwarf Kimmel swallowed involuntarily, and said hesitantly: "I... I'm still a little worried, will this method really work?"

William smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I'm the only one who really stepped forward to fight. You just need to escape according to the plan."

Then William lowered Kimmel to the bottom of a ridge, and then jumped into the air alone, facing the flying enemy directly.

William's eyes were excellent, and he could clearly see the appearance of the three opponents riding on the spider-eating beast from a distance. Among them was a six-armed basilisk, a multi-eyed demon with a purple face and beard, and a monster similar to the one at the time. There are crocodile monsters similar to Monaco III. These three monsters are all decayed and look like corpses. Their will-o'-the-wisp eyes stare at William riding a Pegasus, and they make strange roars to each other.

Pegasus and Spider-Eating Beast are both flying mounts, but they have their own strengths. Spider-Eating Beast is difficult to fly high, but it is very good at short-distance acceleration and is ferocious, while Pegasus is good at flying into the clouds and soaring thousands of miles.

Therefore, in short combat, Pegasus is at a disadvantage.

The two sides faced each other one-on-three, and William had to act first. He swung his saber with his head in his pocket. This was really sudden. The sharp Mopi's Autumn Water Broken Dream Knife directly cut off half of the head of one of the spider-eating beasts. , the poor flying beast hissed miserably, fell down convulsively, and even the knight on its back, the guy with the four-armed crocodile head also screamed and fell to the ground.

Then William pulled the saddle, and the Pegasus Mo Xiao, who was connected with him, retracted his wings at the same time, and then threw himself down, chasing the falling target.

The remaining two riders just came to their senses at this time. They each roared and controlled the spider-eating beast to draw a big circle in mid-air. Then, instead of catching up, they hovered in mid-air to watch the excitement.

This point was somewhat beyond William's expectations. Even though he possessed the secret art of spiritual awareness, he knew that his plan had a great success rate, but he never thought that his opponent would let him go. They are really two little clever ghosts, and they cooperate really well!

Following Mo Xiao's downward move, William made a casual move, and Qiu Shui Dao quickly struck. His eyes were fixed on the falling four-armed crocodile, but he found that the other party did not have the panic of a normal person falling from a high altitude, and even had a hideous look on his face. Eye to eye with him.

William quickly learned the four-armed crocodile's hole card, and saw that it pulled out a feather from nowhere and crushed it, and then the huge guy seemed to lose weight and floated like a feather. Floating down.As a result, the distance between William, who was falling in a free-falling manner, and the four-armed crocodile was rapidly shortened.

When he was about to get close to the ground, William suddenly jumped off Mo Xiao's back, letting the Pegasus spread its wings and circle away, while he charged at the four-armed crocodile with a knife, and in the blink of an eye, the two sides exchanged blows .

William swayed his body sideways, facing the crocodile's head with the tip of the Autumn Water Knife, as if he wanted to stab his opponent's forehead with a knife.However, the four-armed crocodile monster that was about to hit the ground relied on its length and strength. It grabbed William's knife-holding wrist with one arm, and raised its sharp claws on the other arms, but it attacked William's vital points. Wanting to end William's life with one blow, he might as well have to quarter his body and tear his opponent apart.

It's a pity that the idea of ​​the four-armed crocodile monster is very beautiful, and it has successfully caught the vital position of the target, but the feeling of starting is not right, as if it has caught an invisible flame, except for the scorching burning sensation, there is no There was a feeling of grasping the real thing, before the crocodile could think about it, it felt like something had been pierced into its forehead, and then there was a sharp pain that swept through the whole body, and then fell into the boundless darkness.

Besides, where William was caught by the four-armed crocodile, there was no flesh and blood, but several bright flames were pulled out.Before he could let go, Qiu Shui Knife had come out and pierced into the target's forehead, but his whole body hit the ground as if he had lost weight, and fell into a sky full of flames, surrounding the four-armed crocodile The corpses were burning.

The remaining two enemies were dumbfounded, but they never expected that they would get a head when they met their teammate at the beginning. The key is the enemy?Just fell into a ball of flames?

They rode spider-eating beasts, circling to check the battlefield burning with inextinguishable flames, and the multi-eyed monster among them was about to jump down to check carefully, but there was a burst of laughter from a distance, and another William was riding just now. Mo Zou, who flew away, fled triumphantly into the distance.

The two monsters looked at each other, then slapped their mounts at the same time, and both flew towards the target.
