The Swordsman of Faerûn
Page 150
William is like an irritated nobleman, posing with an extremely arrogant attitude, but with a fascinating demeanor, just like a well-cultivated nobleman who is irritated, but still maintains his unique etiquette. He resolutely said: "Let's go! Mr. Larry, I no longer need you to help me move my prey, nor will I give you fine wine to taste! Just pretend that we have never met today!"
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
There is a kind of cleverness called being smart, but the half-goat Larry has a deep understanding of the meaning of this word at this moment.He was like Grandet who had just lost a thousand small goals, almost heartbroken.
Larry looked sadly at William cutting up the Thunderfury Boar's body, but his mind was full of thoughts. The satyr would never regret the failure of a small calculation, nor would he give up because he was rejected.In the philosophy of the goats, exchange is always the last resort to obtain what they desire, and cheating is the way they are best at and most respected.
Larry was thinking about how to get that charming barrel of wine, maybe I should take advantage of it and use some tough methods?The half-goat man with fierce eyes just wandered over the hill-like Thunderfury Boar, and immediately stopped thinking about it. This human lord can kill even Thunderfury Wildboar, and he is just a little half-goat People, it's better to be sensible.
Larry racked his brains thinking about how to make the lord from outside the jungle change his mind, be willing to accept him again, be willing to make a deal with him, and of course the most important thing is to give him wine to taste.
Soon the satyr had an idea, he jumped up immediately, and ran into the depths of the jungle as if his butt was on fire.
William naturally knew every move of the goat man, including when the boy had the idea of robbing him, he felt it.From this, combined with the rumors about the goats, William has seen through the nature of this race. The goats seem innocent, but they are by no means a kind group.
If it weren't for his own strength, the half-goat Larry would definitely grab the wine in William's hand without any hesitation.
Decomposing the giant wild boar is not an easy task. Even with William's almost extraordinary physical strength, it will be a bit unbearable after a long time. Of course, it does not mean that William really does not have the physical strength to decompose a whole Thunderfury wild boar in one go. It's just that Once you do that, it will consume a lot, and it is easy to overdraw your physical strength and damage your body.
Just when William cut up half of the wild boar carcass and sat on the side to rest and recover his strength, a group of small creatures fluttering like butterflies came, dancing around William, singing softly, like the breeze blowing through wind chimes The clear and crisp singing sounded over William's slightly bewildered mind, and a cheerful and relaxed feeling immediately hit his heart.
William suddenly discovered that his physical strength had unknowingly returned to a perfect state, and he felt refreshed and overflowing with physical strength like a tide.
[Wind of Resurrection], the unique racial ability of elves and fairies, their singing can absorb the primitive power of the forest and instill it into the listener's body, eliminating fatigue, restoring physical strength and invigorating the spirit of the listener.
William looked at these exquisite little things in surprise, the legendary fairies.
They have slender and beautiful figures, no more than one palm tall, with a pair of colorful membranous wings in the shape of butterfly wings on their backs. When flying in the sky, they seem to be sprinkled with colorful dust. It is quite doubtful whether the rainbow in the sky is just The beauty they shed.
Fairies are shy and lively, and they dance around William. Whenever his eyes look in one direction, they always seem to be frightened, dodge in a hurry, and then gather leisurely behind him, quite inseparable. Playful meaning.
Fairies can understand Common and Elvish, but when they speak, it is difficult for ordinary humans or elves to understand, because the voice of fairy fairies is like a thin bagpipe, so they always talk to people who are good at bagpipes. The goats have a good relationship with them. The goblins and fairies like the beautiful sound of bagpipes, but the goats appreciate their words as beautiful music.
William also likes Fairies very much, it can be said that it was love at first sight.Not only because they are an absolutely wonderful fey creature, but also because of their unique ability and beautiful singing voice. William believes that if there are such cute little things singing around, whether it is traveling around like a mercenary, or You will never feel bored and depressed again.
While William was admiring the beautiful figures of these goblins and fairies, he glanced sideways and saw the half-goat Larry approaching with a flattering smile on his face, holding a delicate crystal cup in his hand, which seemed to be showing off. In front of him, for fear that William would not notice that thing.
William smiled secretly, but pretended to be displeased and said, "Mr. Larry, why are you back?"
Larry smiled cautiously and said: "Your Excellency, as you can see, my little singing servants have run away from home. They unexpectedly sang the Song of the Forest (another name for [Wind of Recovery]) for you. A pleasant surprise, I think we deserve a drink for it. Look, I have a flawless crystal wine glass."
The satyr's excuse was too bad. If he was facing a real human noble lord, then his head and tongue would undoubtedly be the only ending for Larry.
However, William also had bad intentions. He pretended to be surprised and praised the crystal cup in the hand of the satyr, and lamented that only such a supreme work of art could be worthy of his fine wine.
William took out the wine barrel again, and carefully poured Larry into a crystal glass. The wine has not yet been tasted, and its appearance alone almost makes the satyr intoxicated.The purple liquid is as thick as honey and as silky as pearls, with a breathtaking sparkle of stardust shining in it.
Larry held up the wine glass in a dazed way, observing the wine carefully. He took a deep breath, but he didn't smell the strong aroma of the wine as expected. Larry looked at the wine in surprise, and then was puzzled looked at William.
Of course William knew what was going on.
This wine has a certain characteristic due to the use of some kind of magic to blend it in the brewing process. When the wine is first opened, there will be some intoxicating aroma, but once the wine is completely exposed to the air, the aroma will be restrained. Only when you drink it in your mouth can you fully feel its charm.
William didn't explain, but just signaled the goat to have a taste.
Larry first tried to take a small sip, but he was so surprised that he couldn't even speak clearly like a monk falling into a honey vat.While sipping the wine carefully, he danced with tears streaming down his face.
William ignored him and continued his great business of killing pigs.
When the whole pig was basically broken down, a group of refugees came here under the leadership of the hunting team.Those who came were all powerful men or strong women. When they learned about the hunting demeanor of their newly recognized lord from the returning hunting team, especially when they learned that they had hunted and killed a wild boar the size of a hill, Everyone was shocked and ecstatic, and almost without mobilization, everyone scrambled to help transport the prey.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
With enough manpower to help, William no longer needs to stuff bloody pieces of meat into his storage armband, and many leftovers from Thunderfury Wild Boar such as trotters, internal organs, large bone sticks, and wild boar tusks Wait, there is no need to throw it away in vain.
A group of people marched through the jungle trail opened by William, and returned to the refugee camp on the ashes all over the ground.
William is stalked by the satyr Larry who tastes the perfect wine.
The wine-loving half-goat has been completely conquered by Li Erla's purple memories. He grabbed William's clothes and said pitifully, "Your Excellency, it is true that you said you were willing to exchange wine for the prey you migrated from." What?"
William pretended to be puzzled and said: "Mr. Larry, you didn't agree. Anyway, we have already harvested such a big super wild boar, which is enough for my people to last for a while, or forget it, so as not to embarrass you! "
"It's nothing! I'm not embarrassed, I'm really not embarrassed!" The half-faun Larry felt that he had never been so humble in his life, and the flesh on his flattering cheeks almost twitched.
"Your Excellency, I would like to know, if I really... I mean, if I ran to your territory with a group of big horned deer, would you really be willing to give me a barrel of fine wine, this wonderful milk of the goddess? "
William raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course it's impossible! If you really do it (send the deer to your door), I can only give you a small barrel of ordinary wine or ale. How can such precious wine be possible?" It’s easy to take it out and make a deal!”
"Huh? Didn't you say..." The half-goat man was extremely disappointed. If the human lord dared to agree to exchange deer and beasts for that kind of wine, he would definitely dare to drive tens of thousands of deer of various types in the entire border forest to this place. Go inside the lord's territory, and then ask him for fine wine every day, the one that doesn't work.
However, William glanced at the goblin fairies flying around, and said, "Mr. Larry, Bagpipe, I like your little singing servants very much, especially their voices, which are simply better than the most beautiful music in the world." Beautiful.
Maybe they can come and live with me for a while, and when you come to visit me with the deer, maybe we can taste the sweetest wine in their beautiful songs, just like today, wine and fairy songs The best match! "
Larry's eyes lit up when he heard that, he looked at the fairy fairies who were playing games, and without hesitation, he put them on the trading table as chips, and said happily, grabbing William's arm, " Is it really possible? Your Excellency, you know, I am very close to these little guys. If I visit you every day, will it disappoint them, maybe they want to live with me?"
William frowned and asked, "You mean, you don't want to send them to my side?"
"No, no, no! I mean, can I go with them to live with you for a long time?!" The half-goat smiled shamelessly.
William refused without hesitation: "Impossible! Larry, first of all, my family will never allow a half-goat to live in my house. Also, if you go there too, who will send me to migrate?" Where are the deer!"
The half-goat said unwillingly: "I know other half-goats, maybe I can entrust them..."
William shook his head like a rattle, and said, "Shut up your little thoughts! Larry of the Pinas family, only half-goats who help me deliver the prey are eligible to accept my invitation to taste the supreme wine."
The half-goat man finally gave up completely. The human lord was too cunning to let him take advantage of it.
Of course, Larry cared more about the deal between the two parties than anyone else, especially the fairy fairies who were part of the deal.
When the little fairies learned that they were given to humans by the goats, they were about to explode. All the little guys surrounded the goats, accusing the heartless traitors angrily, shamelessly ungrateful By.
The rapid sound of the bagpipes when they reprimanded them is still so melodious that it is intoxicating to listen to.
Although the elves and fairies were very angry, it was a pity that their arms could not twist their thighs, and they could not reverse the will of the satyr. After venting their anger, they turned into colorful star dust and dissipated into nothingness.
William was very worried that these little things would run away in anger, but Larry told him with confidence that the fairies would definitely go to live with the lord obediently.
The half-goat is full of confidence, but there are reasons for it.
When he took out one thing and explained it a bit, William finally understood why.
An emerald tree house decorated with colorful gemstones and crystals, inside is densely packed into various small unit grids, which looks like a bee's nest, but it is much more delicate and beautiful, but it is an extremely exquisite miniature garden.
Fairy Fairy House, this is a beautiful strange thing shrouded in strange magic power, every fairy fairy community will have such a beautiful lair, or only with Fairy Fairy House, Fairy Fairy can survive and reproduce normally, and Form a colony.
The goblin fairy house of the half-goat is only the size of a palm, but it does not prevent a large group of goblins from living in it, because for the goblins, the space inside is almost infinite.
In the natural world outside, fairy fairies are a very fragile kind of life, whether it is bugs, birds, or various rodents, etc., even bats and mosquitoes are their natural enemies.
And as long as the fairy fairies don't leave the force field radiation range of their fairy house, and this range is usually a radius of one kilometer, they can instantly teleport back into the fairy house through an instant action.
Even if the goblin fairy is injured, as long as she doesn't die on the spot, she can return to normal immediately when she returns to the fairy house.
Although the Fairy Fairy House is perfect, it has one flaw. It cannot provide food for the fairies, so the fairies have to go out to look for food every day, and the fairy fairies are a kind of little fairies who are very picky about food, so they must Fly a long way to get enough to eat, but this is beyond the protection of the fairy house.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, fairy fairies will give their fairy houses to their trusted friends, perhaps an animal, or a fey humanoid creature, such as a satyr.They help the fairies to wander around with the fairy house, and the fairies use singing to drive away the fatigue of their friends and provide some help within their ability. In this way, the two sides depend on each other for a symbiotic life.
It is said that there is such a legend that the more the fairies trust the friends entrusted to the fairy house, the bigger the fairy house will be, and when this trust reaches a certain level, even close to love and attachment, the fairy house will Transforms into a structure that perfectly adapts to the size of its owner.
The owner of the fairy house can enter it and have an unobstructed intimate interaction with the fairies living inside.
Of course, this is just a legend. As the main audience of the fairy house, the goats have no record of such events.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
With a full harvest, William left the jungle with a group of joyful refugee porters.
With sufficient food as a guarantee, the refugees' confidence in their new lord is almost full. Of course, trust does not mean loyalty. Talking about loyalty in this world is a very luxurious thing.
In the evening, the refugee camp was full of joyous songs and laughter. Dozens of brass cauldrons were set up one after another and heated on a raging bonfire. The thick and white fat inside was piled up, and the hot fat melted into fat water. The drooling woman scooped it with a large copper spoon into the emptied oak barrel to cool.
The big copper pot and the big copper spoon are temporary creations from the flame world. In that world full of magma and flames, molten copper and molten iron can be said to be everywhere, and almost every fire elf is an excellent metallurgist. An expert and casting master, Turmu, who is the elder of the fire dwarf, does this kind of thing of making cauldrons and horse spoons, which is like killing chickens with a dragon knife.
No matter adults or children, they all chewed the browned oil residues. The oil residues were crispy and fragrant, with a full taste, which made the refugees who had been starving for several days quite unable to stop, wanting to eat more.
Many of the men who labored today, in building camps, carrying game, and guarding outposts, were even rewarded with a glass full of barley wine.
Of course, William's original intention was not to reward these laborers. After all, for a group of refugees, it is the most reasonable and correct thing to be as frugal as possible in this difficult time, although many of them may not understand this truth.
William's main purpose was to free up enough oak barrels to hold the lard. Simple fatty meat pieces cannot be stored for a long time. Even in hot weather, it may go bad and smelly in just three or two days, while lard But it is more resistant to storage.
This thing is a life-saving thing for the refugees in Falls Town and other refugees that William may encounter in the future.Not to mention anything else, just melt lard in hot water and pour a bowl of it into a person who is about to starve to death. It is definitely more effective than any panacea, and there is no need to worry about damaging the stomach.
The big bear, Badal, held a head-sized carved wooden wine glass, took a sip of barley wine, and then hiccupped beautifully. He boldly wiped the wine foam from his beard, and smiled happily at William. Said: "My respected lord! This is the most mellow wine that old Badal has ever drank in his life! I never thought that barley wine could be so sweet! I wish we could drink such a glass of barley wine every day! "
In fact, the barley wine in William's hand was just an ordinary liquor. After all, it was bought by William as a supplement for his own drinking water. Apart from being fresh enough, it was almost useless.Even in order to satisfy hundreds of people at once, they can get enough ale drinks, which are also mixed with a lot of magic water. If this thing is really sold in a tavern, it will definitely be a good thing.
However, these refugees who have just lost their homes cannot stop their thirst for alcoholic drinks. They urgently need some refreshing drinks to anesthetize their restless nerves.
Rabiel, who was courting William's family like a dog's leg, held a slightly smaller wooden wine glass and glanced at the big bear contemptuously, but felt an infinite sense of superiority in his heart.Without him, because he helped William's family deal with a lot of head-scratching troubles during William's absence.
For example, some women had disputes over the orphans who lost their families, local refugees in Falls Town tried to expel refugees who did not have a registered permanent residence in Falls Town, and some incidents of trying to be lazy and intentionally bully the weak, etc.
As close relatives and companions of the lord, these seemingly trivial incidents were almost handed over to Feniya and the two little girls. In the eyes of the refugees, only they were qualified to represent the lord when the lord was away. Lords exercise jurisdiction.
Obviously, neither the half-giant Phinea nor Misha or Miluna had the experience and ability to adjudicate these disputes.At this time, the clever Rabir, who had been looking for opportunities to rise up, stepped forward without hesitation. He was very clever to analyze the root cause of the incident for the three silly girls, and then made suggestions.
Rabiel is indeed smarter than most people. He knows exactly what to do at this time and what kind of judgment is the most beneficial choice for the new lord.
In the most critical moment, only absolute fairness and justice is the most conducive choice to enhance the prestige of the lord.
Rabiel suggested that the judgments made by Phinea and the others, even the harshest paladins in the world would have to admit their justice.If it weren't for the people of Falls Town to know Rabiel's nature well enough, they would even suspect that standing among them was a just paladin.
Of course Rabiel was not a paladin, on the contrary, he believed that he would never be able to become a figure as shining as the sun like a paladin in his life.He just knew enough about William, William's family, and some inside information that others didn't know.
Sure enough, when William returned to the camp and learned about what Rabiel had done, he immediately praised him and encouraged him to continue helping Phineya and the others with some refugee camp affairs in the next few days.
Rabiel was one of the few people in the entire camp tonight who could drink real barley wine, and these guys were all good guys on the day.As for those guys who did not perform well, such as lazy, bullying, and a few refugee representatives who showed a lot of hips in terms of the stability of the entire refugee camp, William gave them face-to-face criticism and warned them that if they could not If they correct their mistakes, they will surely lose the trust of their lords.
It is very difficult for a person who has lost the trust of the lord to continue to live on the lord's territory.
Of course, the biggest loss for these critics tonight is that they have no barley wine to drink, even if it is mixed with water, they can only drooling and watching others drink it.
William is also very clear that Rabiel is not a really pure-hearted guy, he is an ambitious speculator, and what he does today is not out of public interest, but to please William, the new lord, so that in the future Sufficient benefits can be obtained in the territory.
In the ancient times of William's previous life, this guy was definitely a big traitor, similar to a traitor like Zhongtang.
If it was normal, William would never use Rabiel as a talent, and he would even expel such a talented but unvirtuous guy immediately.
But now is not a normal time. In order to realize the vision in his heart, William has to make full use of his talents, while temporarily ignoring Rabiel's character flaws.
Because Rabiel is more capable, administrative, and serviceable than all other refugee representatives.
And this ability is extremely rare anywhere in Faerûn.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Although William became the lord of Dagger Falls Town, he was not obsessed with this unexpected power, and he didn't think he would stay in the position of lord for the rest of his life.
The more William learned about this world, the more he believed that he would never be bound by some illusory mortal power.Because this is a world of heroes whose mighty power belongs to himself, but he can't find his own soul affiliation, there is no ethnic group with the same language and the same race, who can identify with each other from the heart, so he can't feel the charm of Tianzijian where.
Compared to being a high-ranking, life-and-death emperor and lord, he prefers to be a legend who roams the world and plays games in the world.
When you like to be safe, hide your name, sit in a dim tavern, sip a small wine, listen to the drinkers who come and go talk about your great achievements, and enjoy the wonderful feeling of being praised behind your back.
If Jingji wanted to move, he would pick up a knife, put on a shabby armor, and invite three or five rookie adventurers to adventure in mysterious areas to experience the unique feeling of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
Or find a heinous dragon or monster, and hit the door with great fanfare to get rid of the evil, adding another strong stroke to your great reputation.
William handled various affairs of the refugee camp with ease.
His talent and sophistication in certain things made all the refugee representatives, including some ambitious guys, amazed, and even gave birth to a rare admiration.
In fact, as long as the mind is not confused by some prejudice or self-righteousness, all the fish that crawl out of the big net of a certain nine-year compulsory education are basically qualified management talents.
Therefore, many choices that William took for granted were almost subversive wise moves for his people, which made their expectations of their lord even more exciting.
William promulgated a series of health regulations for the aftermath of the flood, such as keeping oneself clean, not drinking unboiled water, digging toilets to defecate, washing hands before and after meals, and reporting patients with fever and chills to him, etc. Some common sense of hygiene in the previous life has greatly improved the mental outlook and health of the refugees.
As we know, this is a mysterious world. When a certain disease is discovered, the power of magic or magic is often the first choice, and it is also the fastest choice.
[Disease Dispelling Technique] Generally, as long as it is a non-cursive disease or some individual diseases (such as cancer), it can achieve the effect of curing the disease in a very short time.
However, when dealing with some contagious diseases, [Disease Removal Technique] has its inescapable limitations. First of all, there is a limit to the number of spells or divine spells used, and priests or other spellcasters cannot treat large areas. Patients undergo extensive universal treatment.
Another one is that people cured by [Disease Dispelling Technique] cannot obtain immune antibodies against the disease, so they are prone to secondary or even multiple infections.
For example, if you have a cold, [Disease Dispelling Technique] will instantly eliminate the cold virus in your body and cure your cold, but due to the effect of the spell, you will not get the corresponding cold virus antibody , and even the little antibodies that have just been born in your body are also cleared away together.And on the surface of your skin, including your nostrils or the corners of your mouth, there are still a lot of cold viruses remaining.
