The Swordsman of Faerûn

The fire boys themselves are very weak in combat power. They can neither breathe fire pillars nor throw fireballs. Their only skill is the [ignite] talent. They can ignite any objects they touch and make them burn, no matter what Whether it is flowing water or solid wood and steel, it can be turned into a mass of burning matter.

Wherever the fire boy ran, there would be a trail of burning flames.

Of course, the burning of non-combustible objects ignited by the fire boy can only last for a short period of time, about one to three rounds, the specific time depends on the fire resistance of the ignited object, and the fire boy hates water very much.

When Pyro Boys are attacked, they explode like napalm and ignite everything around them.

All in all, if you want to start a fire, then summoning the fire boy is undoubtedly the most time-saving and labor-saving means.

William was very satisfied with the abilities of the fire boys. He picked a batch of suitable fire boys and left them around the Raging Flame Astronomical Phenomenon (normal fire boys are not qualified to approach the Raging Flame Astronomical Phenomenon), and then returned to the camp on the main material plane.

I have to say that the camp is very lively at the moment. There are many familiar or unfamiliar faces at the entrance of the camp. To put it simply, they will never let anyone in, even if the person opposite is William's cook and tutor.

That's right, a person almost identical to Maya appeared at the gate of the camp, and threatened the guards with the might of a lord's relative.This made many guards who hadn't seen the world feel a little uneasy. Even Baird, the leader, was a little bit overwhelmed. Trouble that could affect his official career.

It's a pity that the guards didn't find Lord William at first, but they found Maya's daughter Selur. This silly girl who didn't sleep well didn't even go back to the tent to see if her mother was Not really absent, followed the guards to the gate of the camp.

When she saw the "mother" who was stopped outside the gate of the camp, the little guy immediately exploded. While she was crying, she desperately wanted to run out to join the "mother".In Celur's not very long memory, her mother came back in the middle of the night more than once, with exhaustion and pain all over her body, and also brought back the hope of the mother and daughter surviving.

This time, little Cyrule thought her mother had done the same thing again.

Fortunately, there are still many smart people in this world, such as the dwarf Kimmel Durind, who was also on duty at night and rushed to the scene to ask for clarification, and immediately stopped the impulsive little girl.

The fifty-ninth chapter: The monsters and monsters under the flames burning the city ([-])

As an outstanding illusionist, Kimmel Durind has seen many strange things, and also knows a lot of techniques and spells to deceive others.So when a "Maya" appeared outside the camp, combined with Lord William's warning words before nightfall, the dwarf immediately realized something was wrong.

Besides, how did a woman with no combat effectiveness run outside the camp? It is said that the sentries and guards are all dutifully guarding the entrance and exit of the camp, and there are also patrols on duty for the temporary and simple walls around them. Just don't let anyone in or out of the camp.

Of course, due to some unexplainable reasons, if someone really had to sneak out, the guards could only warn those who died loudly, and did not take any action to stop them.

But this definitely does not include the tutor of the lord's family. Kimmel Durinde was sure that the guards did not see her leave the camp, because everyone knew that the celebrity of the lord's family was highly valued by William and did not Know her charm well.Whenever Maya leaves the camp, it is impossible for no one to notice, unless this woman is very simple.

The dwarf asked someone to stop Cyrule. He secretly activated a small trick, and then asked through the fence: "Madam, why do you want to go out at night?"

"Maya" said with a smile: "I am carrying out a secret mission granted by the lord of this land, please forgive me for not being able to tell you the details."

Du Linde looked at his palm in surprise, and then he asked again unwillingly: "Ma'am, how did you get out of the camp without telling all the guards?"

"Maya" smiled again: "I didn't hide my whereabouts, nor did I hide from the guards, but you can't see the truth clearly, so you can't see my whereabouts."

The dwarf glanced at the palm of his hand again, and then asked the last question, "Ms. Maya cooked a sumptuous dinner for the lord's family tonight. Do you remember what the staple food is?"

"Maya" took a meaningful look at Celur, and then said with a sneering smile: "Grew onion and wine stewed deer ribs. I have to say that the dinner of the lord's family is luxurious enough..."

"Enough!" The dwarf couldn't help but interrupted, he found that the "Maya" in front of him was really difficult to deal with, and he couldn't even determine her authenticity.

William, who suddenly appeared at this time, interjected and asked, "Ma'am, are you really Cyrule's mother?"

"Maya"'s originally smiling face immediately changed color. She glared at William viciously, but refused to answer his question.How could she not know that that damned dwarf was using the [Detect Lie] spell, her three previous answers had carefully chosen her words, but this time she was overwhelmed by the question.

"Maya" knew that once she opened her mouth, no matter how she answered, she would be exposed, just when she was hesitating whether to give up her pretense and start doing it, William shouted: "No matter who you are or not, get out of here immediately! Unidentified existence is not welcome here!"

William's threats and warnings sound a little weak, not because he doesn't want to be tough, but because the actual situation doesn't allow it. One is that the camp was only temporarily built by everyone in half an afternoon. If there is a fight, most of the defense facilities Basically just decoration.

Of course, this is only a secondary reason. William is more aware of another fatal thing. The most terrifying thing about fighting at night is not the enemy's attack, but the internal panic caused by it, which is the so-called camp roar. For the victims in their homes, especially the vast majority of women, children and children, that is the deadliest.

Although William intends to clean up these malicious people who come to the door looking for excitement, it is better to wait until dawn.

After going through a confrontation, "Maya" and most of the visitors may have found it difficult to take advantage of the loopholes, and finally retreated, but this made the little girl Celur cry and make trouble, and she had to follow "mother" Go, and even clamored to turn against the master William because of this.

But when they returned to the lord's tent, they found that another Maya was waking up sleepily with her chest open. This discovery made the little guy stunned, a little confused about how his mother ran back.

And William was also a little embarrassed. After all, looking at a beautiful woman is very sensory. It turns out that the goddess in the dream is also an ordinary woman who can't get rid of shit and fart.

Well, Maya is not William's goddess, but a good-looking tutor, the kind that is very pleasing to the eye.

When Cyrule screamed and ran to Maya, Maya finally woke up from the half-asleep stupor, and then she saw William who was turning his head away, and she immediately understood her situation, so what? It was a bit embarrassing to be watched by a member of the opposite sex.

Fortunately, Maya's psychological quality in this aspect is strong enough, and it's not like she hasn't encountered more embarrassing scenes before, so the beautiful tutor not only didn't show any embarrassment, but deliberately stretched her body Zi, then pretending to be confused and asking:

"Your Excellency, Seruel, why are you still awake at this late hour?"

Of course, there is another sentence that Maya hid in her heart and did not say it. She knows that there is a disgusting pervert in this world who always likes to attack weak cubs. Although Maya has a good sense of William, she still Check on your baby as soon as you wake up.

Although the little guy like a porcelain doll has wrinkled clothes due to excessive struggle, his blond hair is also messy, and there are still tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, all this makes Maya startled, but after a little inspection , Maya found that her worry was just a false alarm.

William didn't guess Maya's small thoughts, otherwise he would definitely teach this little girl who thinks about herself badly. After all, men also have moral bottom lines and biased choices, and immature peaches will definitely not will go picking.

He just said good night to Maya mother and son, and told them not to run around at night, then got into his bedroom.Of course, after he left, Maya still carefully asked Celul what the little guy and the lord had been doing out in the middle of the night. In one breath, he became even more frightened and uneasy.

Because Maya also encountered a similar situation.

There are many magical and unique existences in this world, or monsters, or spellcasters who are good at using transformation and camouflage spells, like to become a specific local character, and then achieve a certain purpose.Not to mention, similar incidents have occurred in many places in the valley in recent years.Some of the instigators of these incidents were exposed on the spot, and some were discovered after a while.

The problem is that when the disguise is uncovered, not only the culprits of the metamorphosis are punished (if they can be caught), but also those who were disguised suffer the same punishment, and some of them are not caught. Where the culprits were, those disguised who were also victims became scapegoats for the whole incident.

This situation is not an isolated case, but a common convention that exists widely throughout the Valley Alliance.

The next morning, Maya unexpectedly did not prepare breakfast for everyone in advance. When William saw her, he even thought that she was not the real Maya. Her face was haggard, her eyes were dark bags, her hair was dry and messy, and she was frightened all night. The governess of , fully demonstrated what kind of scumbag (not a scumbag) an anxious goddess can transform into.

The first thing Maya did when she saw William was to kneel down and beg the lord to spare her and little Cyrule's lives.This made William very puzzled. He wondered what happened that he didn't know, so that Maya would be so terrified.

After a while, the three little girls who were exercising outside the tent also ran in in panic, and with them was the half-elf protector Cheval Starcloak.

William frowned, and said softly, "Maya, you get up and stand aside first, what happened outside?"

Seluer cried out in horror, "They...they're going to kill Mom!"

Misha'er also nodded fiercely on her little head with stubble, and hurriedly said: "William, those people outside are crazy, they want to execute Maya!"

Miluna also nodded her head with the same frequency, indicating that this is the case.

Cheval Starcloak said, "Your Excellency, I believe you saw the same guy as Ms. Maya last night. It is a local taboo to change the shape of the pretender, and it is the valley people's tradition to be executed by the shape changer."

William exclaimed in surprise: "What are you talking about? Just because someone becomes Maya, she will be executed? How can there be such absurd things in the world! Doesn't it mean that if someone becomes me one day , Do I have to be executed too?!"

The half-elf guardian opened her mouth wide when she heard the words, and looked at William with straight eyes. She felt as if she had heard something extraordinary, as if... It seemed... This idea is really not bad, why did it happen before? No one thought what?

If William knew Cheval Starcloak's thoughts, he could only say, girl!You are superficial.William can imagine the deep meaning of this matter without asking carefully, what a tradition!

Isn't this obvious? If you can't run away, some bastards deliberately manipulate public opinion and public opinion, leading people to mutilate innocent people to pour out negative emotions.

Since William is standing here, he will not tolerate this kind of upside-down. He even said that if the refugees outside betray him and cause his redemption plan to go bankrupt, William will not back down.

Because in William's view, this kind of ignorant people who intend to hold him hostage to do evil is definitely not worth his redemption.The purpose of William's execution of the redemption plan is only for peace of mind, not to be the Madonna of Rausch-bitch.

But my heart is as peaceful as a rock, although what is the difference between one person and ten thousand people?

William strode out of the tent, only to see a black mass of people surrounding him.When the people saw the lord appearing, they immediately shouted: "My lord, execute that skinchanger!"

"Execute the skinchanger!"

"Hang the skinchanger!"

"Chop off her head!"

……

The hustle and bustle of the crowd made William feel like he had returned to the prisoner's carnival in Locke Town. It was also such a fanatical and desperate atmosphere at that time.

William signaled to the half-elf mage who had just come out to bless him with [Giant Roar], and then he shouted at the crowd: "Shut up!"

But the sound was like a loud thunder, which made everyone present feel deaf and dazzled, especially those people who were facing William, who swayed as if they were drunk, almost unable to stand still.

Then there was a complete silence, and everyone looked at their lord in fear, quite at a loss.

William shouted sharply: "I am your lord! I know what you idiots want to do! But, I will never tolerate such unreasonable evil! If you want to execute Maya, I will only I say to you: Never!"

At this time, a timid representative of public opinion said stubbornly: "But, Your Excellency, Maya was disguised by the shape-changer, and she is the accomplice of the shape-changer!"

"Shut up! Idiot, I really don't know if you are really an idiot or if you are malicious!" William unceremoniously slammed the stupid representative of public opinion, and he turned around and said, "Maya, stand here!"

Maya wanted to turn her head and run away, or collapse on the ground and cry, and it would be better if she passed out.It's a pity that she is just a weak woman with no power to restrain a chicken, and she has a poor daughter to support. She was worried about gains and losses, and she didn't even hear clearly what her lord said outside.

When she heard the lord's summons, Maya walked out of the tent in a daze. She felt that she was walking towards the entrance of the abyss. Now she was just a walking corpse that had lost hope.

Standing beside the lord, she felt that the rising sun in the sky was a bit dazzling. The lord seemed to be setting an example for her, saying something to those ridiculous mobs, and what they were talking about. Forget it, don’t listen if you can’t hear it.

Maya thought so.At this time, she didn't even think about her daughter's future survival. She just recalled her carefree girlhood. That was really a memorable time, but it was too short.

At this moment, William reprimanded everyone: "I don't know what tragic experience you have encountered before! I just want to tell you that in this transfiguration incident, Maya is just a victim, she is innocent! Really! The culprit is the shapeshifter outside the camp! If you have hatred, hatred, and resentment! Then go kill your enemies and use their blood and heads to wash away your hatred!

As your lord, I hope you can vent your grievances on the real sinners, instead of using the blood of an innocent person to paint your fake makeup! "

Another leading representative asked unwillingly: "Honorable Lord, are you an accomplice who wants to protect this skinchanger?"

William stared at the idiot contemptuously, and said, "I am not protecting the accomplice of the skin-changer, but an innocent life! Here I want to warn each of you, as your lord, I will only protect innocent lives , but will not become the leader of evildoers!"

After a while, he paused, and said: "If someone wants to kill Ms. Maya with this incident, then face me first! Unless someone kills me first, you don't want to hurt her hair!"

As soon as William's words came out, many unwilling guys had no choice but to put away their petty thoughts and wanted to kill the lord. Who is it that didn't wake up after drinking too much?

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

The reason why William was able to gain the unanimous approval of the refugees and successfully ascended to the position of lord was not because of his noble character or lofty popularity, but because of William's ability to kill orcs and Zhentil Castle sergeants like chopping melons and vegetables. General tyrannical strength.

So when William made it clear that the chariots and horses would go against the local traditions and protect that damned bitch, no one dared to directly confront the tyrannical lord. People with such courage and courage have long been dismissed by the people from Zhentil Castle. The colonists were almost wiped out, at least for the time being, William didn't have such a strong figure under his command.

However, there are no direct opponents on the surface, which does not mean that there are no dissatisfied people, and there are not a few such people. Although they dare not directly confront the lord, they have another hidden way of resistance. A lot of vivid names, such as passive grinding, non-violent non-cooperation and so on.

After breakfast, William could clearly feel this unique and unique atmosphere.William originally wanted to arrange for everyone to continue cutting trees and dig ravines to strengthen the defense of the camp, but when he walked around the camp, he found that everyone had become very abnormal.

The woodcutters need to sharpen their axes before they set out, but they don't seem to be sharpening their axes, but sharpen their whetstones with their axes.Ten people dig trenches, lined up at one point, you dig a shovel, get out of the way, I dig another shovel, get out of the way again, and then the next one, it's like a fucking game.

This reminded William of some muddy buddies in his previous life. Sure enough, the happiness between people is interlinked.

The only thing that made William more gratified was that at least the guards he formed were not too hip-stretching. All of them had put on their helmets and stood where they should be with bright weapons in their hands. They did not relax their security work on the camp.

William summoned Baird and the dwarf, Kimmel Durind, and asked, "How are the soldiers?"

Baird and Kimmel Durinde looked at each other, and Baird said: "Your Excellency, the situation is not very good. The morale of the soldiers is very low. I'm afraid they are not very useful."

William sneered and said, "I'm afraid it's not useless, because of what happened in the morning, they are actually unwilling to fight for me!"

Baird was silent, but soon he held his sword and said solemnly: "My lord, no matter what others think. I, Baird Sharp Sword, is willing to be the sharpest sword in your hand and kill all rebels and enemies for you .”

Gilmore Dulinde also said firmly: "My lord, I swear on the reputation of the Dulinde family, I am willing to be the most reliable eye behind you, and to eliminate all hidden arrows and fangs from behind for you."

William sighed secretly, and finally there were two more loyal men, which meant that his previous efforts were not in vain, and he kindly didn't feed the dog.

He nodded in satisfaction, but said kindly, "Baird, what is the origin of your sharp sword name? I've never heard you say it before."

Baird said with a sad face for the first time: "My father once served as a soldier under the former Consul Malik. He was very brave. Although he was born as a commoner, he was valued by the Consul and became an honorable guard. When Malik was assassinated, my father was sent home wounded and derelict, and lost his glory."

"My lord, I got the sharp sword you bestowed on me, and I was appointed as the leader of the guard by you. This is the best opportunity for me to reshape the glory of the family. My family does not have a famous surname, I am willing to take 'Sharp Sword' as my surname, in order to remind me not to forget the kindness of my lord, and to hope that I can truly become the sharpest sharp sword in your hands."

William couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this, which caused all the dissident soldiers around him to look sideways.He said: "Baird, your loyalty and ambition are worthy of praise. But if you want to become the sharp sword in my hand, you are still far away! Let's go! Today, my lord will take you to open your eyes and let you Let’s see what a true elite in this world looks like.”

Later, William gathers his own family, and the rejuvenated mother and daughter Maya, whose beautiful eyes are almost glued to her lord, and the curious half-elven guardian Cheval Starcloak, along with Baird and the dwarf walked out of the camp together, followed by the dwarf Bonog Steelfoot and his party a little later.

A group of people came to the outside of the city wall of Falls Town and stood at the gap where the city wall was washed away.

Behind them, the edge of the camp was full of onlookers. They talked among themselves, discussing the paranoia and self-will of their new lord. At first, they were scruples about their words, but soon they became bold. She became presumptuous, but there was no trace of respect in the chatting and laughing.

After the town of Dagger Falls has been brewed by the flood, you can smell a faint smell of water from a distance, but when you get closer, the smell of water turns into a strong and choking muddy smell. taste.But what is puzzling is that when this extremely unpleasant smell smells a lot, people will gradually adapt to it and even become intoxicated.

Obviously, this is very abnormal.

What's even more unusual is that a burst of crisp footsteps came from the town slowly and clearly to the ears of William and his party, not to mention the streets full of mud, who can make such a sound like stepping on a bluestone road? The crisp voice, just because someone dares to stay and live in the town at this time, is not a simple matter.

Soon the owner of the footsteps appeared at the gap in the collapsed wall. It turned out to be the guy who turned into Maya. She still wore Maya's appearance, but her clothes were much more gorgeous than Maya's.

William looked at the "Maya" who was wearing a velvet and filigree dress with lace and sky-high pointed crystal boots, and sighed, "You monster is really arrogant. Not only did you not hide from us when you saw us, but instead Swaggeringly ran to the front to die."

Shape-changing Maya smiled and shook her fingers. She glanced at Maya herself, who looked a little frightened, and said to William: "Oh, William, the new lord of Dagger Falls Town, I am very happy to see you on this sunny morning. You. The weather is really nice today. Let me tell you a little secret. I tried to teach you a little lesson last night, but I didn't succeed. I'm curious, how did you save yourself from those stupid lambs? Of this poor vase? Can you tell me, kindly?"

While talking about Shapeshifting, Maya blinked at William, showing a playful smile.

William frowned and asked, "Teach me a lesson? Why?"

Shapeshifting Maya laughed and said, "Lord rookie, you shouldn't prevent those lamb-like mortals from returning home. No house in this town should be left vacant."

William's brows froze, and he asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean? Just because I prevented my people from entering a muddy quagmire, are you going to fight against me, the owner of this land? "

Yixing Maya said with a sarcastic smile: "Your Excellency, you may have misunderstood one thing. You are not the owner of this land. The real owner of Dagger Valley is someone else. I hope you can understand, you just The sheep chosen by the lambs living in this land, not the owner of the flock, let alone the rancher.”

Everyone present heard this, but all of them changed their expressions greatly. Nima, following the new lord to eat melons, who would have thought that they could eat such a huge Thunderbolt melon, especially Baird, who is a local, There is simply a feeling of thunderbolt.

William couldn't help laughing at the moment, and the laughter made Shapeshifting Maya feel a little nervous. She couldn't help asking: "Lord William, is there anything ridiculous about what I said?"

William suppressed a smile and said, "No, this... um, Pseudo-Maya, there's nothing wrong with what you said. I'm just a little curious. You wanted to teach me a lesson last night. How exactly did you want to teach me? "

Shape-changing Maya said proudly: "You should know the local people's attitude towards shape-changing pretenders. I turned into the little maid beside you. I wanted to sneak into the camp and have a good time. Just relax, and when things happen, your beloved little maid will be torn to shreds by the frenzied lambs. At that time, you will understand that the so-called legitimate lord is just a bright joke."
