The Swordsman of Faerûn

William looked up at the speaker, but it was a female spirit macaque with silver vellus hair scattered all over her body, also known as Kong Randa.The female Kong Randa has a more graceful figure and a holy appearance like a Bodhisattva than a human female. Even with Dove's extremely good appearance, she is dwarfed by this Airui Celestial Clan.

William had met another spirit macaque before, and that Ariel macaque named Hui Er gave him a good meal, but now seeing another macaque, Ariel, William couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

What is even more curious is how a creature of the good camp like Kong Randa would appear in the chaotic tavern in Creeping City, and it seems that this guy is still an important figure in this tavern.

Dove finally defeated her opponent, panting, she was a little nervous when she saw the sudden appearance of the female macaque Ai Rui, she leaned up to William and whispered: "William, be careful! Guys can read minds, and they're always doing evil in the name of good."

The female spirit Ai Rui came to the two of them with a smile, and said, "Ms. Dove with silver hair, it is very immoral to speak ill of people behind their backs."

Dove said a little annoyed, "I didn't say it behind my back, I said it face to face!"

Airi, the female spirit, smiled, and said to William: "As the owner of this tavern, I apologize for the disrespect my subordinates have shown towards His Excellency William and his friends. If you don't dislike him, I am willing to make up for both of you. to make up for the fright that Your Excellency and others have suffered."

Dove said angrily, "I don't need any compensation!"

William said, "I want to know the whereabouts of a person and a big devil."

The female spirit macaque frowned, and asked, "Who's whereabouts do you want to know, Your Excellency William?"

William said: "Negal, the great devil, he took my friend away."

The corner of the female spirit's mouth twitched, and she sighed, "Your Excellency William is one step late. The great devil Negal just left here. He did bring a human prisoner with him, but it seems that the human is not very normal. Well, maybe you can In the Crimson Zone on the other side of the city, we found out about Nergal's next whereabouts."

William nodded and said, "Thank you very much!"

However, the female spirit Kiai Ai Rui waved to her back again, and a female wilderness fairy came forward holding a sheathed long sword and handed the sword to her.

The female spirit maki drew out the sword, but saw that the sword body was like a blue water vein, emitting a faint light. She flicked the sword body with her fingers, and the long sword immediately made a crisp sound of "clank".

The female spirit macaque Airui said: "This used to be a high-level thundering long sword [Blue Wrath] (thunder +4), with extraordinary power. But now due to changes in the magic net, this thundering long sword The power of the sword can no longer be used, but as far as its material is concerned, it is still an excellent sword.

Ms. Dove, this [Azure Wrath] is yours now.Hope she can make up for the injustice you have been treated here. "

Dove didn't want to accept it at first, but this [Azure Wrath] was so delicious, she finally accepted her coyly, after all, adventures with William, there will always be times of fighting, Dove doesn't want to Continue to serve as a spectator and mascot.

William got the information he wanted, and Dove also gained something, but neither of them wanted to stay here to deal with the female spirit Ki Ai Rui, so the two almost left at the same time, which made Dove feel a little bit Little chuckle.

The female spirit macaque Airi said to William who was about to leave: "Your Excellency William, you want to track down that great devil Negal, but I'm afraid the process will not be smooth. Well, you will always be one step behind the other party, which is very strange." An irreversible fate."

William sneered, and said, "I don't care about the fate of Lao Shizi. But thank you for reminding me."

When William was about to walk out of the tavern, Airui, the female spirit, suddenly asked, "Do you know another Kong Randa?"

William's heart trembled, but he said without turning his head: "I've never heard of such things as Kong Randa." Then he disappeared at the door of the tavern, leaving only the female spirit Ai Rui with a mysterious smile on her face. .

"Got you!"

After Dove walked out of the Beheader and Iron Head tavern, she looked back at the solemn William, and couldn't help asking: "Is that strange guy is Kong Randa? I heard that they are all kind creatures in the heavens. I didn't expect him to They are really easy to talk to, and so generous, they are willing to give me such a precious magic weapon."

William looked at the [Blue Wrath] that Dove was holding with a bit of distaste, and sighed secretly: "Since it is paid to you, you can keep it. Let's go, we may need to find a place to spend the night."

As the saying goes, if you are polite to others, you must ask for something.William never believed that a so-called kind-hearted Kong Randa would give gifts to people on his side without any reason. William felt that he might be in trouble next time.

Dove acted like a chatterbox in front of acquaintances, she kept asking, "Why did Kong Randa run to this degenerate world to open a tavern?"

"I heard that heaven-level creatures are taller, but she looks very short."

"How did she manage to be alone among a group of monsters?"

……

And so on, William was perfunctory to Dove's curiosity one after another, but his heart was a little turbulent.Because of the fight with Hui Erui's second-class Ai Rui, William once specifically pursued the intelligence of the macaque Ai Rui or Kong Randa when he was in the chaos.

It can be said that the Kong Randa family is in a relatively detached position in the entire multiverse. They are powerful, gentle, and have outstanding prestige. They are diplomatic envoys recognized by the camps of good and evil, order and good.

The most frightening thing is that the strong men in this race have the ability to play the strings of fate. Many times, when Kong Randa wants to deal with a certain ethnic group, they may only need to induce a few seemingly insignificant changes, and they will be able to kill each other. The tossing life and death dilemma.

In contrast, Kong Randa's [Mind Reading] or predictive ability is relatively childish, but these abilities are still dreadful.

However, William also knew that Kong Randa's inner nature was actually more defensive, and if one of them was offended, a bunch of seven aunts, eight aunts, and even "heroes" who had encountered injustices would come to make trouble. .

Although he was not in the main material world when he finally cleared Hui Er, William was not worried about being caught by someone, but he still felt that Ms. Kong Randa was a big, big trouble, and even himself The plan to track down and rescue Elminster, and even find the real Phinea, may be interfered with.

Dove didn't know the worries in William's heart, but she said to William: "It's not easy to find a suitable place to stay in this kind of outer plane. We have to ask a few humans first." Then she began to give William popularized some precautions for traveling in outer planes.

For example, if you want to stay in a foreign city mixed with monsters, it is best to find an area where humans gather.Humans can be said to be one of the most widely distributed and adaptable intelligent races in the entire multiverse. Wherever there is a spark of civilization, you can generally find human residents, including the endless abyss or Bator Hell. .

Of course, Jiaoyan Hell is no exception. There are also many mutant humans living here, including Creeping City.

After beating several groups of highwaymen and robbers, William and Dove finally found out the location of the human gathering area in Creeping City.

When they came here, they found that the human gathering area was really dilapidated and bleak.

If the Creeping City is compared to a metropolis, then the human gathering area can be regarded as the slums of the city.

Most of the buildings here are randomly piled up with all kinds of broken stones and bricks, full of irregular edges and corners, and crumbling structures.The distribution of buildings is even more clustered in the east, and the clusters in the west have no plan and order, just like the tombs on the mass graves.

The surroundings of each building are basically filled with all kinds of filth and waste. Through the narrow entrances and exits, one can vaguely see the restless eyes hiding in them.

The two walked in disgust on the irregular street full of dirt, when they crossed a nearly collapsed pile of rubble, a thin figure jumped out of it.

This figure looked at William and Dove in a hurry, with despair and anxiety on its dirty little face, but stubbornly shouted: "I stole your things, whether it is torturing me or selling me Do as you like. Just, please don't hurt anyone else here, okay?"

William looked at the little guy's almost collapsed face, and for some reason he felt a little softer in his heart. He pretended to be confused and turned to Dove and asked: "Ms. Dove, have we lost anything? Probably not." ?”

Dove understood William's intentions in an instant, and she began to rummage through herself in the same narrow way, and at the same time pretended to be panicked: "There should be nothing missing! Let me see if there is something missing on my body. Oh! It's really rare." Something is missing, I seem to have lost a large bag of jewels."

The little guy who was on the verge of collapse was extremely annoyed at the moment, she realized that she seemed to have followed a very stupid, stupid thing, so she slammed into the muzzle of the gun with a guilty conscience, and she did not call herself, she was simply a fool Enter the stupid house - stupid enough to go home.

But this tall bad woman obviously wanted to blackmail herself, but the little thief girl couldn't bear it a little bit, she screamed angrily: "I didn't steal anything from you!"

She pointed at William and said, "I stole a pack of poisonous stings from him, but I never stole even a green dime from you!"

Venomous sting is the name of silver coins by the creatures of the lower planes. This is due to the allergy of those demons and devils to silver. When they touch silver, they will feel a kind of sting like being stung by a scorpion. Pain, at least some of them are.

Therefore, people called silver coins "poison stings", and many of them took this matter as a joke behind their backs.

Most demons and devils generally refuse to use silver coins (venomous stings).It's easy to think about whether silver weapons will hurt them like magic weapons.However, in Jiaoyan Hell, the value of the poisonous sting is relatively high.

Green dice are the copper coins of the main plane, but in Jiaoyan Hell, due to the erosion of the environment, copper objects always rust into a ball of green stuff, and almost all the copper plates you can find here are scattered all over like this A layer of patina, so to most people, it is "green slot".

Although these currencies from the main material plane are not available in the lower planes, no matter because of their materials or the needs of certain existence, these things still have some value in themselves, so in Jiaoyan Hell or other It can also be regarded as a kind of wealth.

The venomous sting silver coins on William's body naturally did not come from Faerun, but loot from the yugoloth demons he killed. Those gadgets are actually more beautifully made than the coins in the main material world, engraved with the words General Jiao Yan's profile picture.

At this moment, William suddenly realized, and said as if he had just recalled it: "Oh, so I lost a bunch of poisonous stings! Little guy, are you the one who stole my poisonous stings?"

The little thief girl was about to collapse. She glared at William and screamed almost angrily, "You...do you know what a poisonous sting is?"

William laughed heartily. He pretended to be a rascal, and said aggressively, "A poisonous sting is a poisonous sting. Do you care if I know what that is? Give me back the poisonous sting!"

At this time, a few dirty little radish heads emerged from the pile of rocks that the little thief jumped out of just now. These smaller little guys were almost naked, and they rushed like frightened little animals. Arriving at the side of the little thief girl, hugging her tightly, two little guys even stared at William and Dove with fierce eyes.

The little thief girl was in a panic at the moment, and she scolded these children angrily: "What are you doing out here! Hurry up and hide! The big skeleton will come to collect taxes in a while!"

Then she distinguished William with a smile that was uglier than crying: "Well... I have nothing to do with these children, you can do whatever you want with me, please don't hurt them."

However, William couldn't help laughing out loud. This was the most hearty laugh he had in recent times, but any good quality could always please his heart.

Just when the little guys looked at William laughing anxiously, there was a shrill scream in the distant sky. At this moment, the little thief and the little guys really panicked, and they couldn't wait. He ran to the pile of rocks that he regarded as his home.

The little thief girl ran a few steps, but returned and said anxiously: "Find a place to hide! The big skeletons are coming to collect the head-scratching tax!"

William had just beaten up the owner of the city. He wasn't worried that those blind guys would come to trouble him. He asked curiously, "Who is the big skeleton? What is the poll tax?"

The little thief said in a panic: "I don't have the time to explain to you! Anyway, hide quickly, if you are charged poll tax, then you will die!" She glanced at the distant Sky, hurriedly got into the house like a pile of rocks.

William casually glanced at the hidden entrance in the pile of rocks. Obviously, the pile of stones outside is just a cover, and there should be a hole in the ground.

Dove looked into the distance, but patted William to signal that something unexpected happened.

William looked up, but saw a snail-like thing floating in mid-air, and it seemed to be driving towards this side in a hurry.Countless long tentacles protruded from the inside of the snail shell, and kept sweeping across the buildings on the ground. Every time the tentacles fell, there was almost a desperate wail.

William stared blankly at the floating object in the sky, watching it raging unscrupulously in the human gathering area, but no one came out to stop it. For some reason, an inexplicable sadness arose in his heart.

Soon the snail-like floating object came to the top of William and Dove's heads, and they finally saw the true appearance of this thing. The shell of this thing is a huge cage, and countless human beings and others The humanoids were stacked like cargo, and they wailed but could not escape.

And those huge tentacles are like giant pythons, passing through the human buildings like piles of rocks. On these tentacles as thick as buses, there are even smaller tentacles. A desperate screaming human was dragged out of it and sent into a cage.

A tentacle found William and Dove, and it swept over without hesitation, and the tentacles on it, which were as thick as an adult's arm, danced quickly, trying to entangle the two of them.

Then they suddenly broke apart.

The snail shells floating in the sky involuntarily made piercing screams, and then more tentacles swept over, and then they broke apart without exception, falling to the ground, twisting and twitching.

At this time, the little thief who was hiding suddenly rushed out from the pile of rocks. She rushed to a tentacles that fell nearby, and brandished a dagger polished with obsidian to cut the twisting tentacles.

Just as the little guy was blushing and working hard, a familiar voice rang in his ears: "Is there any use for you to cut this thing?"

The little thief girl blurted out without turning her head: "Of course I eat it! You idiot. This is a rare meat, and it tastes delicious."

Then she realized that she seemed to have said something wrong. The little thief girl looked back at Dove who came up to her, and said with a guilty conscience: "Don't just watch! Cut some more quickly, after today, it will be too late." I won’t be able to eat for a long time.”

Dove smiled, then pulled out the original broken sword, and tried to cut those tentacles. She was reluctant to use the [Blue Wrath] she just got to cut meat.

When Dove cut the tentacles, he found that these fleshy things looked very tough, but it didn't take much effort to cut them, and they could be cut off almost as much as a knife.

The little thief looked greedily at Dove's broken sword, and asked, "Is this a weapon made of metal? It's really easy to use."

Dove smiled and asked, "Have you never used it?"

The little thief girl shook her head and said, "You guys are from outside. The metal weapons here are very expensive. It takes several soul coins (referring to the life of a living person) to exchange for a rusty dagger. You have to be careful , Some bad guys may have the idea of ​​​​hitting your weapons."

After speaking, the little thief girl picked up a few tentacles and ran to her den.

Later, she ran back again, looked up at the sky above her head, only to see that the last tentacle on the big snail-like floating object had also broken off, and fell to the ground, where it was massacred by countless companions together with those scattered around. silhouettes around the cutting tentacles.

The little thief hurriedly shouted to Dove: "You have caused a disaster! Those big skeletons will be very angry! Find a place to hide, and when they kill enough people, maybe they will let you go."

Dove smiled and shook her head at the little thief, and then walked quickly to William's side. The two of them had a good time watching many figures wrapped in bone plates jump out of the snail shells in midair and land heavily on the ground.

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

Skeleton warrior, a powerful artificial creation that combines necromology and construction, an undead slayer.Anyone, any army can't help but feel frightened when facing a warrior in skeleton armor.

This has nothing to do with the bravery of the fighters participating in the battle. It is entirely about the restraint of the arms. Just like when the light infantry is facing the main battle tank, the battlefield positioning of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

The skeleton warrior's body is five meters high and weighs about five hundred pounds. It has a human bionic structure. The horny and calcified outer armor is equivalent to [-] millimeters of homogeneous armor. Can kill light rays.

The only weakness of the Skeleton Armored Warrior is its power system, because this thing is a counterfeit product, and its prototype is the Miser power armor of the Netheril era.

Mither Power Armor is a quasi-magic creation that relies on the core technology of the Netheril era-Mither Energy Core.Powered by the near-infinite energy of the Miser Powered Armor, it is like an invincible killing machine, capable of killing any approaching enemies (including gods and all kinds of monsters). It is indestructible and unstoppable , is one of the most ferocious era weapons of the Nether era.

It is also because the Mithr power armor is too strong, and the floating city developed by relying on the Mither energy core is almost invincible, so that when Netheril's enemies want to deal with this magical empire that is about to dominate the entire multiverse, they have to Don't erase Netheril's superior technology from the root - disconnection.

Before that earth-shattering cataclysm, some big bosses from the outer plane used tricks to cause a floating city to fall accidentally due to technical reasons, and then an orc army that had been prepared in advance (the orc army was at its peak at this time) era, almost at the same time as the elven kingdom at the end of the peak, the emerging overlord Nether Great Empire, and Mulhorand in the age of god-kings fought at the same time without losing the wind) rushed into the ruins, trying to receive the core components of this floating wreck ——Misser energy core.

Then this elite orc army was almost killed by the survivors of the floating city wearing Mithr power armor, until another floating city Shanshan came to help, and the assembled orc army failed to break through the last line of defense of the Mither energy core.

It can be said that before the "network cable" was pulled out, there had never been a Miser power core that leaked its secrets because the enemy broke through its external defenses (fortresses are often breached from the inside, and the same is true for leaks), among which Miser power armor is undoubtedly Has indelible credit.

Although the makers of the Skeleton Warriors imitated the Misser Power Armor when making the Skeleton Warriors, they did not reproduce the technology and ability of the original Misser Power Nuclear. The technology of this cutting-edge gadget can only be obtained from Several Netheril bosses who survived the Netherese era have it.

What's more, even if the Miser Energy Core of that year is reproduced, it can no longer reproduce the invincible appearance of the Miser Energy Core, because the Miser Energy Core at that time was an energy core built on the basis of the magic net, and the second generation of magic After the goddess came to power, she directly modified the underlying rules of the magic net, causing the original Misser energy core to almost become a pile of waste products.

Therefore, when the Skeleton Armored Warrior is produced, its power output is definitely not as simple as reducing a few units later than its parent version.

Therefore, the castrated version of the Skeleton Warrior can only be regarded as a relatively good battle golem, but this time a certain god "cut off the Internet" again, causing the most terrifying charged death ray of the Skeleton Warrior to enter a state of death , which completely turned the skeletal warriors that appeared in front of William into a large infantry unit.

For this kind of heavy armor unit that is almost naked in function, William is the most experienced in dealing with it. He is a man who has dismantled a super giant tree, and his experience in destroying hand-made models is simply not too high.

Of course, even if the combat power of the skeleton warrior is weakened to the extreme, it can still be regarded as a powerful tool of war. At least Dove is more difficult to face the skeleton warrior.

Although she got the extremely sharp sword [Blue Wrath], it was still difficult for Dove to cause effective damage to the skeleton warrior. Every attack she made was at most a slap on the skeleton warrior's exoskeleton. A large bone plate, or a shallow bone groove cut.

For Dove, however, the slashing of the skeleton warrior is like overwhelming the mountain. The huge power contained in the skeleton giant sword (the strength of the skeleton warrior is 24+, while Dove's is only 17+), she dare not even parry, You can only rely on your own agility to roll and dodge.

Fortunately, William was at the forefront as the main force in the battle. As the saying goes, his physical strength is not at a loss. William's strength is enough to resist the slashing of skeleton warriors head-on, but his martial arts are those stupid monsters controlled by the core of the undead. I can't even flatter a horse.

Even though the skeleton warrior was as tall as two Williams and had an extra section, he tossed and tossed it like a building block toy.

I saw William swung his knife to parry the skeleton giant sword of one of the skeleton warriors, dodged the face-to-face slash of the other skeleton warrior, and then pushed hard on the knee of the hollowed-out bone guy. There was only a crisp sound of "click", and the knee joint of the skeleton warrior, which was as hard as an iron pillar, was irreversibly broken. Of course, William, who caused all this, only acted as a fulcrum. The main force of the bone man's knee joint is still the inertia and weight of the skeleton warrior itself.

William dismantled these ferocious-looking bones in a similar way, almost like a child's play, and soon they turned into lame warriors with mutilated limbs and Venus warriors with broken arms.

Then William inserted the autumn water knife into the undead core of these poor bone waste one by one, and rescued their undead souls from a tragic fate (for any undead, being purified is a rare relief, including Lich is also like this).

William helped Dove kill the skeletal warrior who had been chasing after her, and pulled the distraught woman from the ground.They looked up at the snail shell in mid-air, and William wiped out the skeleton warrior, the main combat force of that thing, but it was really frightened at the moment, it no longer dared to stay in the human gathering area, and started Slowly speed up and fly to other places.

However, William didn't want to let the other party go. He used his omnipotent spell slot to summon the Flame Gate, and then groups of Flame Griffin Knights rushed out of the flame world. They quickly rushed to the sky of Scorching Hell, chasing The snail shell floating ship roared away.

William is not worried that the Flaming Griffon Knights will not be able to take down the floating ship. After all, now that the magic net is disconnected, most of the unpredictable and mysterious magic abilities have lost their effectiveness. Easily clean up the snail shells that have been pulled out.
