The Swordsman of Faerûn

Seeing a large number of demons being summoned, William let out a long cry and laughed loudly: "Demons! I am finally satisfied with the number of you! Come on! Scumbags, get ready for your doomsday!"

Speaking of which, William's figure began to swell rapidly, and with the soaring flames, the cursed phoenix began to hover in the sky.Raging flames swept across the entire Light of Lathander, and a giant made of flames bombarded everything around, while the demons roared and screamed one after another.

At this moment, the glamor and deterrence have an urge to vomit blood, because they have lost control of the summoning gate, the evil power is taken over by the flames, and then more demons are summoned, and they swarm like dumplings He arrived at the main material plane, but before he could taste the sweet air of Faerun, he was overwhelmed by the impact of the domineering bursting curse fire, and then his life essence was harvested by the wandering Qiushui knife and became a part of the main material world.

For the two unlucky demons, the behavior of opening the door and providing William with the opportunity to harvest the abyss will inevitably be liquidated by the essence of the abyss. Even if they survive today, their lives in the bottomless abyss will definitely be difficult in the future .

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

Misty Demon Gakis is very clear that it is very difficult for him to turn a profit from this harvesting game of the main material plane. After all, his bottom position has been completely locked up, and he is losing money in a large area every second, but he There is no way to stop the loss at all.

Even if Gakis fled back to the old nest of the abyss alive, he would be liquidated by the essence of the abyss in a short time, and its ending would be absolutely miserable.Instead of fleeing back to be tortured like this, he might as well seek a one-and-done result, such as staying in the main material plane and not going back.

Of course, as a purebred Tanari demon, Jakis shouldn't have the idea of ​​violating the chaotic nature of demons and betraying the abyss. When it reached William, who had turned into a giant flaming giant, it performed a unique trick similar to [Exploding Clothes Magic Art], destroying a large part of William's flaming body with a violent explosion.

Of course, this kind of seemingly serious injury is basically a non-painful fur injury to William, who is the incarnation of the flame element. He just swallowed a few more mouthfuls of flames, allowing the curse fire phoenix above his head to support some curse fire energy , and soon recovered.

The so-called coming and going is indecent, William, relying on his faint perception and perception, mobilized the flying Qiushui knife to stab somewhere, but it directly stabbed a smaller glamor, and then Jakis Finally, it was completely cleaned up, the kind that destroyed both body and spirit.

The Glauber died immediately, and the summoning gate erected by it immediately dissipated, leaving only the spell from the Glauber still in effect, and William increased its power supply, so more demons were summoned .

Demo also has similar ideas to Milumo, and of course she is not willing to run back into the abyss to accept the punishment of never turning over.The only difference between the minds of the demons and the demons is that the ideas of the demons are not so extreme, and this is also related to the fact that their backstages are quite different.

As a special spy specially created by the queen of succubi, Meicanxiet, the demon has a completely different behavior style from normal demons, and the relationship with the abyss is much easier than ordinary demons.

All in all, although Demo entrapped Abyss and lost a lot of resources, Demo's contribution to Abyss is equally astonishingly rich.

For Demo, as long as she can guarantee her own life as much as possible today, she will be able to make up for the shortfall it brought to the abyss by corrupting and attracting a few clergymen to complete the degeneration ceremony in the future.

The most important thing is that the demons are special demons with delayed authority to hold the debt of the essence of the abyss, which gives them great advantages and convenience in the process of corrupting the clergy.The glabra did not have such authority, which also led to the two making two completely different choices when facing the dilemma brought by William.

So when William killed demons like mowing grass, and wiped out the devil's demon lover Miyumo, the demon hid with peace of mind, and even deliberately added fuel to the gate of summoning, it only temporarily lost Despite the ability to block the Summoning Gate, it can still exert a little influence. After all, William is not a serious spellcaster, and his control over the forcibly usurped Summoning Gate is very careless.

As William killed more and more demons, a thick layer of demon ashes had piled up on the ground of Lathander's Light, which was almost in ruins, and the choking sulfurous smell permeated the whole field.

Although the demons advocate chaos, they have rich experience in besieging the strong. The cowards as cannon fodder are deliberately used to consume William's physical strength and spirit, and gradually increase their strength by boiling frogs in warm water during the process. , such as gradually replacing consumable cannon fodder with more powerful demons.

And the demons who ran out from the gate of summoning became more and more elite. The cowardly demons that were once relatively weak no longer appeared. When the arm snake demon appeared, William knew that his harvesting operation needed to come to an end.

Because he is still alone, and his energy is limited after all, and he still can't reach the level of defeating ten thousand with one.Not to mention William, even if he is a god, he might be killed by a group of ants (the various gods that the Formi Ants have killed, definitely swallowed up more than one or two kingdoms of God), not to mention the more powerful ones. Abyss Demon.

The six-armed snake demon is one of the demon species with absolute force among demons. When this kind of powerful demon starts to show up, it means that the demons are ready to send out strong men to surround and kill him.

William knew that he couldn't be too greedy. He reversed the effect of the curse fire and drained all the ability to maintain the summoning gate in an instant, so the last summoning gate also collapsed and disappeared, but it attracted the demons in the abyss at the other end of the summoning gate. Frustrated by the impotent rage of the air, after all, it is not easy to actively open a path to the main material plane in the abyss.

The raging flames that shrouded the temple finally dissipated, and the originally magnificent and beautiful sanctuary was completely turned into ruins all over the ground at this moment. In many places in the ruins, it was filled with ashes of demons that were enough to reach knees. Of course, these exude strong sulfur Demonic relics of the breath are not worthless, on the contrary they are a very useful magic material and are very valuable.

Speaking of which, William slaughtered demons for a reason. As we all know, he is already a true flame lord, enjoying all the abilities and privileges of flame creatures, which also led to the transformation of his biological essence into elements.

If William does not try to change or reverse it, he will definitely lose his identity as a human in the not-too-distant future, and he will be re-labeled as an alien creature, and many of the privileges that William can only enjoy as a human will lose their effectiveness.

A normal human being is born with a lot of special privileges that they will never even know in their lifetime, such as access to higher magical web privileges, control over the original energy of the magic web—the curse fire, and control over certain main substance levels. The ability to interpret hidden rules and so on.

Many things may be taken for granted by weak mortals, but when this mortal grows to a certain height, he will find that the things he was used to before are not so simple.

William didn't want to lose his qualifications as a human being. He didn't want to lose the Faerun household registration book that he got with great difficulty. This required him to do something that was beneficial to the main material plane, or to Faerun. , to balance his racial nature tendencies.

To put it bluntly, this is similar to some prehistoric and immortal cultivation bridges. If you do something beneficial to all beings in the world, all beings in the world will reward you with something similar to merit and virtue, acknowledging that you have a status in this world.

This is a kind of enlightenment that William only had when he was transformed into thousands of fires in the Mokou Mountains and devoured the flaming creatures to restore himself.

At that time, his body collapsed and he faced two choices. The simpler choice was that he give up his human identity and completely transform into a flame lord from another world. Then he would not have to bear the guilt of the flood disaster he caused later on. Because this is the tyrannical nature of fire elemental creatures.

Of course, the main material plane will not spare him lightly, William the Flame Lord will be trapped in the Mokou Mountains for 1000 years, until he is killed by a hero or exiled back to a different space (not necessarily the world of flames).

William still has another choice, which is to continue to maintain his human identity, so that he will tend to become a heinous and evil person because of his actions. After his death, his soul burdened with boundless sins will definitely fall into the final stage of hell. The bottom layer, reincarnated as an evil devil.

Of course, when William is alive, he can do some things to atone for himself, such as saving those innocent lives like a paladin, expelling and destroying evil.

This is equivalent to William having boarded a time passenger ship leading to hell, but he has not yet bought a ticket, or the destination on the ticket is still relatively vague, but there is a faint shadow of hell.But where the end of the ticket ends up depends on William's own efforts.

There is a slight difference in the eradication of evil here. Killing a devil does not atone for William's sins, and it is even worse than killing a villain. Sometimes William even thinks that it has no effect at all.But when he killed the first demon in Falls Town, he obviously felt a sense of abundance, especially when William killed the demon completely with the autumn water knife, the redemption effect was to kill the devil with ordinary methods. More than ten times as many die of the same demon.

William swore that from now on, he would be the enemy of the demons, and he would be the retribution of the demons. He would try his best to find as many demons as possible and kill them with the autumn water knife.

William was very satisfied with what he had gained in the Light of Lathander. When the demon appeared in front of him, William was even happier. He felt that he was really lucky at the moment, maybe the smiling lady who had a little conflict with him (Another name for Lady Luck), finally smiled at him.

The demon put on a pitiful appearance, knelt down in front of William, and begged: "Great Lord of Flames, your humble servant Hayley Serve begs you to forgive my humble life, and I am willing to give my allegiance to you , to serve you, willing to do anything for a great you!"

William pressed the Qiushui knife and said with a sneer: "Demo, I know your cunning and your chaotic nature. I dare not accept your unstable allegiance."

The beautiful Hayley Servi leaned down in horror and begged: "I am willing to give my real name and sign an unbreakable oath of allegiance under your supervision, I just ask you to accept me, a poor bastard who can no longer return to the abyss. "

When the demon was lying on his body, he raised his enchanting peach-like butt very high, which made people feel a sense of temptation. Even if William knew the evil nature of the demon, he couldn't bear it. Live a little dry mouth.

How familiar is the professional existence of seduction, she immediately knew some changes in William's heart, and she immediately showed her best side in front of this human being, trying to attract his nature.

However, William forcibly restrained his desires. This time, the demon was doomed, but he couldn't do the despicable act of killing people first, sleeping first and then hacking to death. How could a decent person do that? How to do it!

So William said directly: "Demo, you don't have to seduce me. I promised that old man with persistent grievances that I would kill you to eliminate the harm, so you should save yourself!"

Ximo turned her cat-like winking eyes, and Yinyin said: "Great Lord of Fire, I can let you experience the most extreme joy in the world, maybe you will change your mind. Of course, if you still insist on If you want to kill me, I can only bear it sadly."

William said: "No need, Demo. You actually want to corrupt before you die. It's a pity that I won't give you this chance. I promised the old man, and I will definitely do it."

In Xi Mo's heart, he cursed secretly, the damn guy is even more brain-dead than the most difficult paladin, isn't this forcing the old lady to sell herself automatically? !

When William raised the Autumn Water Knife, the demon couldn't hold back anymore, and she screamed anxiously: "Wait! Wait! Great lord, you promised others to kill me, but you don't necessarily have to use this Kill me with the demon-killing knife that can destroy the essence of demons!"

William said with a smile on his face: "Switching to other weapons to kill you, wouldn't you be able to escape and hide in the abyss again? I don't want to do such stupid things like this."

Demo quickly smiled and said: "I am willing to hand over my real name, the rites for summoning me, and the oath of allegiance. After you kill me, immediately summon me from the depths of the abyss again. In this way, you can complete Commitment to others, but also harvesting such a capable servant as me, such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, why would you not do it?"

William asked suspiciously: "Is this really the case? Demo, you are not kidding me, are you?"

"Of course not! Great lord, as wise as you, how could you be deceived by me?" The demon had a pure and innocent face.

William showed a rather moved look, staring at Shimo's beautiful face with piercing eyes, but it made Shimo's heart very happy.

The demon handed over his real name as promised, and all the rituals needed to summon this demon, and of course a golden sheepskin contract scroll with a devil style.

By the way, the succubus and the demon are not native Tanari demons, they also have some characteristics of the devil, after all, they were originally born as traitors of the devil family.

Therefore, succubi and deterrence are also bound by certain contracts exclusive to devils, which is not seen in other demon species. When other demons claim to be bound by some kind of contract to be loyal to you, please do not Believe me, they must be lying to you.

After getting the real name of Demo, William pulled out the half-used Latis gun, and stabbed her to death without hesitation. Of course, William was a little bit reluctant at this time, that is, his perception told him that Demo did not No lie, William's talent is so crisp.

William tried to recite the real name of the demon, which was really helpful, because he had already felt the aura of deterring the demon in the dark, and her condition didn't seem to be very good.

William didn't summon the demon immediately, he returned to the building with the prophecy pool, which is the only place in the temple area of ​​the feature film that is still intact.

The sanctified ghost has long been waiting for William's return. When William appeared, he said with tears and joy, "Great hero, you really did it. You not only expelled Hayley Serve, but also killed more How many demons! The Lord of Dawn will remember your achievements, and all the Lathander temples will tell you about your great deeds, and you will become a legend that bards will swear by."

However, William shook his head with some guilt and said, "No need, old man. I just did what I should do, and you will pay me as well. We don't owe each other."

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

William felt ashamed, because he kept the last and most important demon's life.The demon was really the chief culprit that led to the destruction of Lathander's light, but he forgave her because of his own private thoughts, which made it difficult for William to accept the old man's gratitude and gratitude with peace of mind.

Of course, it is impossible for William to give up the reward he deserves, not to mention that his men and women are waiting for the holy water to cure diseases and eliminate evil spirits. Download enough holy water as combat supplies.

For an army, holy water is a good thing.This thing can cure diseases, heal wounds, detoxify, dispel evil spirits, and can cause magic-like damage to some monsters and demons with negative energy. Although the effects of each function are not top-notch, they are enough. Comprehensive, it can be regarded as an existence similar to a panacea.

The key is that the output of this thing is not low, it can be said that it is the most suitable medicine for military supplies.

In order to get the holy object as a reward, William even made a plan. If the sanctified ghost transformed by the old man is not satisfied, he will not hesitate to summon the demon back to kill again.

Fortunately, for the people in the land of Faerun, killing the demon's material incarnation on the main material plane and banishing the demon's essence back to its hometown in the abyss is considered a successful killing of the demon.

Some people may say, if there is a need for holy water, just go to the temple to buy it or ask for it, or is it over?Why bother?

This is a typical thinking that building is worse than buying, and buying is worse than renting.

For an army, the consumption of holy water is definitely not a simple one or two bottles. If you want to buy it, it is very likely that the income of a town for several years will not be enough to fill this kind of fund hole.

As for expropriation or expropriation without compensation?You live in this world where the gods appear from time to time, and the temple is the back garden of your home. Do you believe that when the gods come down with an oracle, believers from all over the world will unite to boycott you and besiege you? !

It would make all the difference if there was a holy water production facility of its own.

Generally speaking, there are two modes for the production of holy water. One is that the priest of the temple casts the magic [blessing holy water] on the pure and fresh mountain spring water. The higher the priest's grace (equivalent to the higher the priest's spellcasting level) , the more times you cast [Blessed Holy Water] on the same group of mountain springs, the higher the quality of the holy water will be.

A low-level priest (at least able to use [Blessed Holy Water] divine spell) can only produce a pint (about half a liter of water) barely qualified primary holy water after spending a day's magic spells, and the holy water's The effect can only be maintained for about a week, and then the effect gradually decays, and it will return to normal clear water after two weeks.

Another way of making holy water is to soak holy objects with specific divine power. According to the energy radiation of the holy objects, the amount of holy water that can be produced every day is also different, and the holy water produced in this way is basically the same. It is a high-concentration holy water of extremely high quality. If ordinary people use it, they must add a certain proportion of water to dilute it.

Moreover, the undiluted holy water, which is similar to the source liquid, has a relatively long storage period. It will not decay for at least one month, and it will degrade to the level of ordinary holy water after three months. After that, it will be the normal holy water decay period.

So for William, he would never let go of such a legal opportunity to obtain the source of holy water production - the holy object.Of course, if you have to grab it clearly, you can only use one sentence to dispel your delusions.

Sacred objects have spirits, and they must be obtained by those who are virtuous; if there are evil spirits who take advantage of them, I'm sorry, the gods are self-deprecating, please take it out and turn left, there is a grocery store there, maybe you can exchange it for some small money. .

Fortunately, the sanctified old man Chonggui is quite trustworthy, and soon he fulfilled his promise, a golden sun disc exuding golden brilliance, with a human face on the middle disc, on the disc At the bottom is a silver handle for grasping, engraved with the motto of the Lord of Dawn - Dawn is the seed of hope.

At the bottom of the silver handle, a small holy emblem of the Lord of Dawn—Sunrise Scene is inlaid with tiny gemstones and diamond chips.

This sacred object was obviously spliced ​​and fused with two different sacred objects, which came from two different gods, but William did not realize at the moment that this was a symbol of Lathander, the lord of the dawn, to a certain Evidence of sacred objects that have been usurped and usurped in the realm of the gods.

Of course, even if William found out, he would never let go.

The sanctified Chonggui is still Chonggui. When the obsession in the old man's heart was solved by William, he naturally lost the meaning of continuing to survive in this world, and soon dissipated into nothingness in a rain of light.

William hung the golden sun disc on his back. Since this sacred object contains strong divine power, it is not suitable for storage equipment, because the divine power will automatically interfere with the stability of the storage space, and at least cause the storage equipment to be damaged. If the items stored in it are lost, the storage equipment will explode if it is heavy, and of course the contents inside will definitely not be found.

William took out the oak barrel originally used to store wine from the fire spirit armband, and began to hold the holy water in the prophecy pool.These high-concentration holy waters are golden in color, like clear oil, and have good stability, almost reaching the point of constant effect (that is, the shelf life is calculated in years).

In the mortal world, only a sanctuary like the Light of Lathander, which possesses powerful holy objects, but has been corrupted by evil secrets, can retain such a powerful holy water liquid.After all, under normal circumstances, the clergy had already sold the holy water liquid to exchange for money and expand their influence.

For the working people in all parts of Faerun who are suffering from diseases, demons and undead monsters all the time, no amount of holy water is just a drop in the bucket, and it will never be enough.

William’s collection of holy water in the Prophecy Pool can be said to have truly reached the level of scratching the ground. Yes, he not only put all the holy water into oak barrels, but even put those who have been soaked in holy water and infested with holy objects all year round. The mud and soil were not spared.

The soil layer under this prophecy pool has been infested by divine power for many years, and its texture has become as hard as gold and stone. People with little strength can't really dig it. That is to say, William has a hole that is almost like a steel buckle, and oil is held on the stone. Only with great strength can these sacred soils be moved.

When William climbed out of the prophecy pool, the depth of the entire prophecy pool increased by almost one meter, and the radius of the pool also increased by nearly one meter.That is to say, the sacred power contained in the soil below is rather obscure. William felt that it was no longer worth digging, but in fact he was tired of digging.

The soil with hidden sacred power, this thing is a high-end product sold by the ounce on the magic black market, and it is a precious material that is more widely used than the ashes of the devil.

One of the most widespread applications of sacred soil is to mix it into building materials when building a house, usually into foundation mud or crevice plaster.A house built with this mixed material is like an ultra-miniature sanctuary. Any undead creature, demon, or devil cannot step into the house without the invitation of the house owner.

In folklore, vampires cannot force their way into a house without the owner's permission. This is actually the case, but many people don't know the details inside, and few people who know it know about it. Much fanfare.

After all, sacred soil is a scarce (not scarce) material. If it is widely known, it will easily lead to irrational price increases. Moreover, houses built with this material are not foolproof. After all, even sacred temples may be destroyed by evil spirits. Corrosion and encroachment, not to mention counterfeit products with ultra-low configuration.

The next step is to collect a huge amount of demon ashes.

Demon Ashes are also very useful, and can be combined according to different recipes to create some unique curse potions.You can also add alchemy potions made from demon ashes when forging weapons and armor to create weapons that specifically kill demons or sacred creatures, as well as armor that increases curse resistance.

The last role of the demon ashes is to use it as a base material when summoning a certain demon with its real name.

Of course, if you let William pick up the ashes of demons like panning for gold in the ruins, he is really unwilling to do it. After all, for him, this thing is too easy to come by, and the quantity is too large, which is not very good in his opinion. It is worth cherishing, not to mention that he has a little plan that is not humane, if it can be realized, then the source of demon ashes will continue to flow.

Therefore, William just cleaned up and collected the demon ashes that were easier to collect, and ended the action of cleaning the battlefield.On the ground of the ruins that were still filled with a large amount of demon ashes, he began to draw the real name summoning circle that summoned the demon named Haylee Servi.

According to Demo, he has to seize the time to summon the other party, otherwise Demo is likely to be liquidated by the abyss - with the help of some abyssal demon lords.

The real name of a demon is undoubtedly very precious. William took the medicine according to the prescription and quickly portrayed the ritual circle. Of course, he was not proficient in this thing, but William's strong body self-control ability and precise memory observation made him He reproduced the magic circle almost exactly.

When William read the real name of the demon according to the flow of the ritual, and opened the alien transmission channel to summon the demon, he found that there was hardly a piece of intact flesh on the demon, even her wings and two hooves. All the legs were chopped off.

When the demon, who had suffered quite a severe torture, found himself summoned to the main material plane, he almost fainted from surprise.She screamed hoarsely: "Quick! My lord! Use that golden contract scroll! Sign my real name! Hurry up! I'm about to be dragged back into the abyss by those damned strange creatures!"

William took out the golden contract scroll left by the demon before, which is a high-end product carefully made by hell devils.Then, under the impatient urging of Shimo, they signed a contract of loyalty between master and servant.

Of course, William is the master. No matter how cunning and calculating the demon is, he can never hide it from William's perception. Various terms and conditions written by the weaving carrier), but he can feel whether those terms are harmful to him.

This point shocked Shimo greatly, she felt that William was ten times more difficult to deal with than the most shrewd devil lord in hell.Even at that moment, Shimo wanted to give up signing some shit loyalty contract with William. She was really scared, and worried that she might never escape the control of this terrible master forever. This is not pushing herself into the fire pit ?

But Shi Mo only hesitated for a second, and the terrible threat from the depths of the abyss made her sign her real name on the golden scroll sincerely.

After the contract between the two parties was completed, the golden contract scroll was immediately displayed in the void, and then the fire of purgatory was ignited out of thin air, burning the scroll to nothingness.

Immediately afterwards, William felt a tearing force from the abyss, dragging the demon desperately, trying to pull the crippled her into the abyss again.

Don't ask why William knows that the abyss is pulling, this is a kind of enlightenment from somewhere.

Demo hurriedly shouted: "Master! Hurry up and authorize me, and then destroy the summoning circle!"

William took a deep look at Shi Mo, he was a little worried whether he had found a terrible trouble.He bit his finger, tapped his own blood on the forehead of the demon, and then said loudly: "In the name of the local legal lord, I grant this chaotic creature the title of [William's Servant] to walk freely On this land, until the contractual relationship between the two parties is terminated."

Immediately afterwards, a fiery red flame phoenix mark appeared between the eyebrows of Demo, which represented William's identity as Lord of Cursed Fire.

Demo looked at William inexplicably in horror and screamed: "No! My undead! You...you are a flame lord with the power of curse fire?! Meikan...the abyss...purgatory...what a sight! The ghost of the creation of the world! I actually followed such a... master!"

Shimo was so excited that she shed tears of "happiness". That's right, since then, the lady who called herself Hathaway (the word Li was removed) insisted that what she shed at that time were tears of happiness and joy.
