The Swordsman of Faerûn
Page 181
Your Excellency, the salmon migration season is now coming to an end, and the harvest is expected to be greatly reduced in the next few days.And the food we have accumulated is no more than 20 pounds. If we can't find more food sources in the next two months, or the caravans buy back a large amount of grain, we will face serious problems in the next winter. food shortage crisis. "
William nodded to indicate that he already knew the food stock situation.
Woking's priests are all born businessmen. They are good at mathematics. Of course, most of them can barely calculate the mathematical problems of the water pipes entering and exiting the reservoir. They can also be regarded as relatively excellent logistics managers in the entire human society of Faerun.But recently the priests of Woking are at a loss because their goddess has disappeared.
It's not the kind of situation where the saint is cut off from the believer because he descended to earth, but the real disappearance.
As we all know, Woking Church is a faith organization that focuses on business activities, and the most important thing in business is the timeliness of information.The Woking Church has a wireless telegraph-like communication system based on the magic net level, which allows most believers of the Woking Church even if they temporarily cut off the connection with the goddess when the saint comes into the world, they can still They never fell into panic like other believers in the church, because they could know the existence of their own goddess in time through the communication of magic telegrams. After all, the female saints who came to the world still interacted with some believers.
But this time none of the Woking temples received any reports of the goddess' whereabouts.Therefore, in order to retrieve the missing goddess, most of the Woking priests began to join local forces in various places, hoping to use secular power to help them expand their search area.
Pastor Woking of the William family joined the management of Falls Town under this background. Even William has to admit that the pastor of Woking is really useful, at least he no longer has to personally calculate those cumbersome things for a group of subordinates. math problem.
William swears that after some affairs are straightened out, he will promote mathematics courses in all children's schools established in the territory, so as not to be pissed off by a group of idiots who can only count with their fingers.
Of course, food is the real top priority. If the food problem is not resolved, it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate.So in order to appease everyone, William immediately told everyone the good news that he had harvested nearly a thousand tons of oats.
In fact, most of the people present already knew this news. After all, William did not issue a password-locking order, and Cheval Starcloak, Baird and others who came back with him did not specifically keep this news secret. I told my acquaintances.
However, due to the short time, the news has not really spread.When the news came out of William, it was officially confirmed. Even though many people had known about it in advance, they were still too excited.
With enough food, people's hearts will be safe.
Next, William did not directly say anything about the rescue of Shadow Valley, but gave instructions on two other matters that were almost decrees.One is to mobilize manpower to go to the infrastructure camp of the Dagger Hills, and gather manpower to develop and transform the roads in the hilly area. Here William focuses on the spell support of the casters, after all, they represent the cutting-edge technology of the entire human world.
Originally, William was a little worried about how many people would be transferred to the south. He was worried that those who were transferred would resist.After all, there are good towns where you can live and work. Even if most of the buildings in the town are still under construction, who would want to eat dirt in the ditches?
Even if he can compulsorily promulgate a government order, I am afraid that not many people will be willing to drill the ravine.
But what William didn't expect was that the number of people who were willing to sign up to go south almost brought the construction work of the entire city to a standstill.And the reason for this result is extremely speechless, even for a bite of oatmeal.
Since the people of Falls Town have followed William, the new lord, it can be said that they have a lot of fish and meat every day, eating meat until they are full, and eating fish until they vomit.On the contrary, barley rice and oatmeal porridge, which were regarded as lowly food by most people in the past, have become delicacies that everyone craves.
This cannot but be said to be a great irony.
When people in a city heard that they could have endless oatmeal to drink when they went to work in the south, everyone's heart was moved. For this mouthful of food, they vowed to go deep into the hills and talk to those terrible people. The monster performs a veneer dance.
Of course, how to balance the distribution of manpower to the south is a matter that the government officials in Falls Town, headed by the dwarf Kimmel Durind, need to consider and worry about, and William is not going to get involved in the details.
As for another matter, there is hardly any basic talent in Falls--education.Of course, this matter cannot be rushed for the time being. William only asked the big guys to make preliminary preparations, such as a census to find out about children of a higher age, recruiting suitable teachers, site selection and construction of schools, and preparation of related materials, etc.
Two major events were arranged, and William dealt with some miscellaneous chores for the string, and finally talked about supporting the Shadow Valley.
William said: "This time the lord of the Shadow Valley sent a letter of appeal for help. We must not turn a blind eye to it. After all, any of our foreign exchanges in the future will inevitably happen-intersection with it. Standing by and doing nothing will only make us lose in the entire Valley Alliance." Morally, this is what we should avoid.
Of course, because we have just escaped from the natural disaster and have not had time to recover, we want to send out an effective army-team, but we are powerless.After all, sending a small team of only a few dozen people will not help the matter, but will cause our people to die in vain. We can't take our own lives to waste in vain for an illusory aid, that's something a fool would do. "
The big guy William said was so excited that he couldn't help himself.Yes!Your lord is really good!We have finally met such a caring and caring lord in our life, a passionate and knowledgeable lord.
Nothing to say, resolutely obey any decision of the lord.
However, it seems that what the lord said is a bit wrong. Should he send someone to Shadow Valley or not?Forget it, take care of him!How about what the lord says!
Of course, William didn't just talk about the wheels, he said: "This time I am alone, as our reinforcement in Dagger Valley, go to Shadow Valley to support!"
what!Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, Your Excellency, what are you talking about?
William didn't care about the ups and downs of his subordinates, he continued: "Although I was the only one who went to support, it represented our true sincerity. You think, as the lord, we went to battle in person, and there was a disaster that just happened. The people of Shadow Valley must not be able to say anything!"
A new official who didn't know William yet said frankly: "Your Excellency, not to mention the danger of you going to Shadow Valley alone, even if you do go there, it will help you." What's the matter?"
However, William said proudly: "I can be worth a thousand!"
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Taelia Nightfall is an excellent harpist and ranger. She serves as a messenger in the Harper Alliance. This is due to her having a great flying partner, a strong and agile Celestial Eagle .
The Xintianying is a huge raptor with super high-altitude flight capabilities, and their regular flight altitude is even higher than the active area of the dragon.More than once, Taelia had flown above the giant dragon's head on the Sky Eagle, overlooking the every move of the terrifying beast below her feet. It was quite adrenaline-addicted.
Of course, flying at a super high altitude also has a not-so-good side. The temperature is extremely low, the air is thin, and it is difficult to breathe, but you cannot use spells to resist it.
One is that the error rate of the rider casting spells on the back of the Xintian Eagle is extremely high, and the other is that the giant dragon is extremely sensitive to energy fluctuations that occur at high altitudes. They do not operate in super high altitude areas, but it does not mean that they cannot reach there. Skyhawk is a great piece of play for any dragon.
This time the monster invaded Shadow Valley, although it caught Shadow Valley by surprise.But as far as the background of Shadow Valley is concerned, it is not incapable of repelling the monster army, the key lies in repelling the monsters.
Although the strength of Shadow Valley alone can barely defeat and expel those tide-like monsters, the strength of Shadow Valley will inevitably suffer heavy losses.And the evil neighbors from the north have been eyeing them. It is conceivable that the people of Zhentil Castle will never let go of this golden opportunity.
Therefore, after discussing with the lord Haksgaard Moglin, several principals of Shadow Valley decided on a strategy of seeking foreign aid.Taelia and several other capable harper messengers sneaked out of Shadow Valley Town while the great sage Elminster launched another large-scale destructive spell to repel the wave of monsters.
Unfortunately, their breakout was not successful in the true sense. All their companions were besieged and slaughtered by vampires and vampire air corps. Although Taelia rushed to the sky with the excellent flying ability of Xintianying, But she and her animal companions have been cursed by a terrifying evil wizard.
The cursed Skyhawk always loses his mind at some point, goes on a rampage with his elf companion on his back, and tries to throw Taelia from the sky.
In the end the poor Skyhawk succeeded, and it threw itself and the elf down together.
The cursed Skyhawk transformed into a dead bird before it hit the ground. Unfortunately, the Skyhawk's undead landed at the square in Dagger Falls, and it was killed by the ubiquitous monsters in the town. The divine power was purified.
But Taelia escaped unharmed, the [Falling Feather Cloak] (constant [Falling Feather]) that the flying knight always had kept her alive in the air crash, but the curse from the evil wizard made this once famous for her beauty The elf in her body had sores all over her body. If it wasn't for her important mission, Talia Yeyun would have long since wanted to live.
Taelia Yeyun survived, but she also faced some troubles and problems, both good and bad.The good news is that although the curse of the evil wizard has been tormenting her and even tried to turn her into an undead creature, the town of Falls, imbued with divine power, can suppress the curse. Water can even reduce the degree of erosion of the curse, but the process is really painful.
The bad news is that Taelia went to the wrong place. Her destination for help was supposed to be the Deep Forest Valley in the south. The letter she was carrying was written by the great ruler of Shadow Valley, Storm Silver, to King Ulas of High Moon City in the Deep Forest Valley. Private message for help.
Taelia is now unable to cross the mountains and run to Gaoyue City hundreds of kilometers away to continue delivering letters.But at this moment, the appearance of Dagger Valley has greatly aroused Taelia's curiosity, not to mention the soldiers wearing exquisite magic metal armor, and the construction and production scenes in full swing.
The sacred magic circle spread all over the town of Dagger Falls alone is enough to make Taelia Yeyun feel incredible.Taelia could see very clearly that the sacred source of this town was not the legendary magic device - the mythical lock, but the holy water flowing in the ditches all over the streets and alleys.
this?This is too extravagant!It is said that other people's holy water is used in small bottles like ink bottles, and they are used in small bottles.But it’s good for you guys to pour water directly, not to mention holy water normally, even clean water for drinking can’t be wasteful like this, you really don’t treat holy water as water!
So the clever Taelia Yeyun immediately had an idea, and then she began to inquire about various intelligence and news about Dagger Valley.
Harpers are excellent spies, so Taelia has inquired about most of the well-known deeds since William took over as Lord of Daggerdale.If it weren't for the sores all over her body, she would even be sure to sneak into the management of Falls Town, and then pry into more confidential information.
A powerful lord capable of defeating the basic combat team of the Black Swords of Zhentil Keep, and a valiant elite of warriors.Of course, the latter point is a mistake in Taelia's thinking inertia, and the soldiers in Dagger Valley are far from qualified.
The so-called elite fighters are just the locals of Falls talking to themselves, but the messenger and spy from Shadow Valley really believes it.
At a certain moment, Taelia suddenly realized that the new lord of Dagger Valley would not be an excellent target for help. As long as she can persuade the other party to send troops to help Shadow Valley, her mission of asking for help will not be completely failed.
There is a small problem, Taelia did not specifically write a letter of appeal to the lords of the dagger valley, and this is essential for communication between the lords of the valley, but this is not a problem for the elf spies.
Taelia is very familiar with the communication modes among the city-states in the valley. She has even sent letters to the lords of Shadow Valley more than once, and she can't count how many of them she has read in advance.
This point is very important for all couriers, because there are many secret techniques in the world that can secretly exchange courier letters. The courier needs to confirm that the letter he sent has not been transferred at the last moment of delivery.
And Taelia has another secret skill, which is to forge letters, which is a skill that many Harpist spies are proficient in.Then this daring elf privately forged a letter of appeal for help from the Lord of Shadow Valley, Huxgaard Moglin, to the new Lord of Dagger Valley, William.
I believe that even if Lord Moglin got the letter himself, it would be difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the letter just by its appearance.
Taelia Yeyun met Lord William of the Dagger Valley and sent her forged letter of appeal for help, and then her follow-up plan died.After drinking a few bottles of high-concentration holy oil, Taelia fell into a coma in super severe pain, and she naturally didn't see the scene where William blessed her with the energy of the curse fire to continue her life.
It was already the next day when Taelia woke up, and to her great chagrin, the rhetoric she had carefully prepared for a long time to persuade Lord William did not come to use in time.
What shocked Taelia even more was that with just such a forged letter, the lord of Dagger Valley agreed to support Shadow Valley "without hesitation".
This... this silly sweet white... Ah no!Taelia couldn't help but have some doubts about how a high-spirited and upright pioneer of justice became the lord of Dagger Valley.
Ok!In any case, it is a good thing to be able to invite reinforcements for Shadow Valley, what more bicycles are needed!
But when the reinforcements from Dagger Valley set off, Taelia Yeyun was dumbfounded.She shouldn't have expected anything from the stingy Daggerdale, ye sending reinforcements?You are deliberately murdering the new lord, sending such a simple child to die!
Whose lord didn't go out with the front and back, and the guards cleared the way?As long as you Dagger Valley are so inappropriate, are you ashamed?
Taelia is firmly opposed to Lord William's lonely journey to "send death". Among other things, he must go with three or five followers, seven or eight guards, and so on!
And the government officials and clerks in Falls Town also felt that doing so was a bit out of place. Although your lord is indeed very good, it is related to the face of Dagger Valley after all. It is necessary to equip a capable traveling team.
Although William didn't want to bring his teammates as a burden, but the big guys were unanimously opposed, and he couldn't be arbitrary in this kind of thing, after all, the big guys were also for his "good".Of course, who can join the ranks of the guards and entourage on the trip can only be decided by William himself, and he will never let go of this kind of thing.
Among the existing people in Falls Town, William only took Cheval Star Robe and Kitten Sisters, as well as William's student Cyrule.This little girl has already started formal practice. This is when the foundation is really laid. When the foundation is laid, he can't let her go and let her practice blindly by herself, so he can only take her with him and guide her personally.
Baird was very disappointed that he was not selected as the entourage of the lord, but William entrusted him with the safety of the entire town of Dagger Falls, which made this soldier feel like he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
From Dagger Valley to Shadow Valley Town, the most important town in Shadow Valley, the fastest way is to fly, and the next best way is to take the waterway, take a boat from Spring Valley all the way down the river, and you will soon arrive at the moat dock in Shadow Valley Town.
Of course, this fast-forward waterway can only be truly realized after William captures the vampire's ship in a bottle.Because this river that runs through the hilly area—let’s call it Quanqiu River—the water flow of Quanqiu River is relatively small, and the depth of the river is not enough. A few not-so-big waterfalls, and magic ships like the Ship in a Bottle that don't need to consider the waterline can drive steadily on them.
Since it was necessary to start from Spring Valley, William also recruited several young and potential members of the elite team from the infrastructure camp not far from Spring Valley as escorts.After all, William was not prepared to let his men be the main force on the battlefield this time. They were actually taken to observe the battlefield, learn and accumulate experience.
When William was traveling, Phinea and the two little girls were his family members. They absolutely refused to stay in Dagger Valley as family members, and William did not think about keeping them out of the matter. In this world, the greatest cruelty to family members is Care for them as vulnerable and ignorant as canaries in a cage.
The demon Hathaway also wanted to go, but William refused her without hesitation. After all, it is not a wise thing to travel with a demon. It is difficult for you to be sure whether you will attract a lot of demons because of her. A righteous paladin who shouts and kills.
Irjana of Dusk Town sent two half-beast human guards for William, one was a half-lion named Jon, and the other was a beautiful female leopard... It was a half-leopard, she Her name is Eva, she has strong and graceful muscular lines, a magnificent physique and a heroic face.
At the same time, they also brought the spoils that Dusk Town turned over to William, a thick magic carpet, woven with the delicate hair of monsters and slender mithril threads.This is a magic flying carpet that can hover or fly in mid-air at a height of no more than 100 meters with a weight of no more than [-] pounds.
This is a magical item that the vampires forgot in the vampire palace. When the people of Dusk Town cleaned up the warehouse, they found this dusty treasure in the corner.
With the magic flying carpet, this support operation or outing will be more convenient.
After the personnel were gathered, William did not delay, and directly released the magic ship in Spring Valley, and then this reinforcement army with less than 20 people embarked on the road to Shadow Valley.
As the saying goes, the apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.Although the number of William and the others was small, they started out in a hurry. From time to time, Mi Sha'er and a few little girls rode out on the Pegasus Mo Zou to explore the way. The members of the British team will also take a few laps in mid-air on the magic flying carpet, and even Isabella, the windy horse, will come out to join in the fun.
William hadn't planned to bring the Wind Horse cub with him, but this little thing didn't want to be left alone. Of course, the little guy still had an unspeakable thought in his heart. She went to the Valley of Shadows, but she wanted to be with those bad guys who restricted her freedom. The guy froze fiercely in front of him, to let those guys know that they can't be offended if they know they have a master!
Taelia was quite surprised that the little wind horse appeared beside William and the others. Of course she knew about the magical creature brought back by Ms. Hillen. It should be said that no one in the Valley of Shadows did not know that there was a horse beside Ms. Hillen who liked it. The runaway foal.
Taelia was very curious about the little pony's affection for William's family, but instead of asking, she made another request.
The elf messenger is more concerned about the Pegasus Mo Zou, the black Pegasus is relatively rare, and most of them are more irritable, but the Pegasus of William's family is so docile, even a few little girls can ride it in the air play.This made Taelia Yeyun couldn't help thinking differently.
Taelia came to William and said, "Your Excellency, you know that I have a heavy responsibility to ask for help. I hope to borrow your pegasus and send a letter to Gaoyue in the south to seek more reinforcements! After all , Your army is somewhat... insufficient."
How could William not know that this lame elf looked down on them, not to mention that loaning out Pegasus would lower his family and his men's development plan, so he said that his group went to the Valley of Shadows on the pole, If there is no such a local snake as a go-between, they may encounter a lot of unnecessary troubles.
Therefore, William directly refused: "No need! Ms. Taelia, please believe in the strength of me and my subordinates! We will surprise those monsters!"
Taelia couldn't help being angry, she really wanted to say to William: "I'm afraid those monsters will eat a catty! After all, you don't have enough fresh meat!"
However, good self-cultivation still allowed Taelia to bear the irritability in her heart, so she had no choice but to show emotion and reason to this seemingly innocent and poor lord.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
When an annoying fly is stalking your ears, you better slap it.
William also has such an annoying fly in his ear. Although she looks beautiful and thinks beautifully in her heart, William can only endure the pain of being harassed. He is very helpless. , beat up this woman who is full of mouth for his good.
So many times, William would use patrol as an excuse to ride a Pegasus with the little ones in the sky to avoid Taelia's verbal harassment.Of course, such leisurely opportunities are rare after all, and most of the time he has to stay on the boat, and then face the persevering lobbying of the elf messenger.
At this time, William always smiled politely, but it filled Taelia Yeyun's heart, which had been struggling with words, with anxiety and frustration. How could this stubborn guy be so paranoid!
William's mentality is very stable, because he knows what he needs and what he is doing. Don't look at the joy of this elf girl now. When William shows his strength on the battlefield and slaps his face with facts, he doesn't know that this smart fool Will it be embarrassing enough to commit suicide?
William was looking forward to the shocking scene.
Of course, another scene actually shocked Taelia, without him, the outfits of William and his group were too luxurious.
All the guards have well-crafted and stunningly shaped fire copper steel plate armor. The material of these plate armors is an excellent base material for enchanting. As long as you find a few qualified enchanters to process them, you can make these armor Armor crafted into the finest mana reloading.
Their weapons are also master-level works that have been honed over thousands of years, which also puzzled Taelia. She was curious about what kind of existence could gather so many master-level craftsmen to give a group of places A rookie like a militia makes such extravagant equipment.
As for the equipment on several of William's family members, it could simply blind Taelia's goblin eyes.
Each of the three children was wearing a small leather armor suit that was cut to perfection. The texture of the leather armor was dragon skin, which was the softest and toughest wing membrane part of the red dragon. After that, it automatically has the characteristics of Yufeng.
This also means that even if the three little guys fall from the horse while riding Mo Xiao, they can still fall to the ground safely.
Of course, the most dazzling thing on the three little guys was the Seven Wind Feather Armor worn by Misha'er on the outside of the leather armor. This thing almost made the former Xintianying Knight cry.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is Feniya's golden holy clothes.That's right, this is a set of gorgeous battle armor that William built according to the standard suits of the cannon fodder of a certain goddess in the comics in his previous life, combining the advantages and disadvantages to make up for the disadvantages.
William, who was a teenager, also had a time in the second year of secondary school. At that time, the story of the goddess warrior was the most noisy period. He was crazy infatuated with those beautiful costumes. He thought that if he could have such a low-level warrior If you don't wear clothes, you don't have to work hard every day to exercise your muscles and bones, and beat your skin and flesh.
As the saying goes, a man is a teenager until he dies. Even though time has passed and the two lives have been separated, William has already understood that what he was obsessed with at the beginning was just a bunch of ridiculous false fantasies, but in the deepest part of his heart, he still misses the old man. That longing for a miracle.
Then when William saw the talent of the flame dwarves and flame giants in the flame world, he couldn't help being moved, and then entrusted his imaginary creation plan to the group of natural figure masters .
Of course, William didn't have any design talent, he just drew the shape of the holy clothes in his impression, and then handed it over to the Flaming Dwarf King.William only put forward his requirements, such as gorgeousness, beauty, beauty, sufficient defensive ability, and not hindering the wearer's flexibility. He didn't care about the various structural details inside.
These demands of William really embarrass the flame dwarves. When they angrily raised objections to William's spokesperson, the leader of the fire dwarf, Turmu said so.
"The master's responsibility is to ask, and the only value of you servants is to fulfill the master's request. If you cannot complete these (requests), it is not the master's fault, but you guys are too incompetent! Now! Give me Go back and figure out your own way! I want to warn you, if you fail the trust of the master, then I will kill you all without hesitation, and then change to another dwarf tribe to serve the master!"
Then the elders of the Flame Helmet Dwarf tribe and the Flame Dwarf King retreated to their workshops in a state of embarrassment. Of course, they knew that a group of Fire Dwarves from the Black Rock Shield Tribe were seeking allegiance to a certain flame lord, and their envoys had appeared in the In the lord's court hosted by the fire elves.
After thinking about it for a while, the flame-helmed dwarves, who were at a loss, decided to seek foreign aid. They found a fire dwarf who was also good at making utensils, but more focused on fine creations, and a group of flame unicorns who were good at dreaming like a powerful and unconstrained style. They were happy I always like to yell "Bug Dou" when I'm in trouble.
Then a set of gorgeous armor that fascinated even William was born.
Originally, considering Phinea's identity as a cold subspecies, her own resistance to flames is almost negative, so when William chose the armor material, he deliberately chose a kind of hate that has the power to isolate or even extinguish flames. Fire Metal - Ice Silver.
This is an extremely rare metal that can only be found in the deepest part of the magma sea. It is the best additive for the indigenous people of the flame world to forge weapons. Forms an alloy similar to Mithril.
