The Swordsman of Faerûn

In terms of scientific explanation, it is well known that the emotions and emotions of all our creatures are, in the final analysis, derived from the physical and chemical effects produced by the secretion of pheromones and the pulse action of bioelectrical signals.

Normal creatures, including us humans, are born to gradually improve these abilities as they grow and learn, but doppelgangers are not like this. They are like a group of flawed children with lack of emotion, unable to obtain emotional and even personality growth and perfection in natural growth.

If a doppelganger wants to improve itself through the accumulation of knowledge and experience like a human being, then sorry, it cannot achieve real growth, and its mind and personality will not improve in any way.

The doppelganger wants to make itself more mature and intelligent, so there is only one way, to imitate a life with independent personality and mind, copy his (her or it) human (biological) life experience, simulate pheromone and biological nerve Changes in electrical signal pulses, feel the touch of that experience, and then draw the spark of wisdom from it.

In the terminology of an actor in the previous life, you have to use an immersive acting method, completely regard yourself as the simulated target, truly feel the soul of the other party, and understand him.

Only in this way can the shapeshifter grow.

Yesterday, through William's detailed guidance, the group of shapeshifters who played the beaten boys really understood their role positioning, and they gained great nutrition from it, especially the shapeshifter called Ladur, but It's the one who actually snatched that title and became a fresh elite doppelganger.

How can the shapeshifters turn a blind eye to this kind of character who can almost help the shapeshifters grow in batches without any sequelae?

William could almost empathize with the almost unbelievable surprise of the old barbarian when he saw his silly daughter succeed in hunting for the first time. It was a ray of hope that suddenly burst out in the abyss of despair.Naturally, he also has the ability to instruct these shapeshifters to reproduce Feniya's experience.

But that's not what William wanted. What he really wanted was to find Phinea's real body and bring her back to Faerun.

William deliberately pointed to the shapeshifters who played Phinea and Daddy the Barbarian and repeated them countless times. Although their performances were still poor, at least they were not so awkward, making even the shapeshifters want to go crazy after seeing them.

This is already a big improvement for shapeshifters.

But William pretended to be irritable and angry again and again. He pointed to the two shapeshifters who played the leading role and shouted: "This is wrong! It's completely wrong! Tell me the origin of these two people, their experience should not be It’s so complicated, there must be something I haven’t figured out. I want to meet them in person, and only when I get in touch with real people can I discover the real mystery.”

Regarding William's request, the elite shapeshifters were a little embarrassed. After all, they were the most important customers of their lord, and it was a violation of the prohibition to bring outsiders into contact with him.

The shapeshifters didn't directly agree to William, but they didn't refuse either. After all, for shapeshifters, their own growth is the most important thing.As for the ban?I'm sorry, no matter what absurd things the doppelgangers in the re-enactment of life do, as long as it helps them grow, everything can be forgiven.

A day later, the doppelgangers took William to see another reenacted scene, where Phinia hunted a group of wild deer, but this scene was not a fixed experience, but had many interspersed changes.

Sometimes Feniya hunts alone, and sometimes there are barbarians and frost giants intruding. In these scenes where outsiders intrude, Feniya's hunting success rate is shockingly low.

William and the doppelgangers who came to peep watched silently from a place where "Feniya" couldn't see, he sighed and said, "I finally understand what the problem is, this girl is so stupid and hopeless." medicine. No wonder you have trouble grasping the essence of her life."

But all the elite shapeshifters shook their heads with ugly expressions, and said, "Your Excellency Li Anwei, what you see is an illusion. The real Feniya is terrifying! We always think there is a big problem here .”

"Phenia, this big girl's name is Phinea? Oh! I heard that you doppelgangers always like to make friends with some famous heroes. Is she also a great hero?" William pretended to be surprised asked.

The elite shapeshifters looked at William with some embarrassment, and whispered a few words to each other, and William could hear what they whispered with his ears:

"Damn it! Berman, you leaked the real name of the master's client to His Excellency Li Anwei!"

"We have already achieved this step, so there is no need to hide it from His Excellency Li Anwei."

"Are we going to continue?"

"Of course! Since many prohibitions have been violated, it is nothing to violate a few more! Let's take His Excellency Li Anwei to see the real guest."

"But we'd better keep it a secret, don't tell Your Excellency Li Anwei that she is the real body, and treat her as another disguised shapeshifter."

"good idea!"

After several leading elite shapeshifters discussed, the shapeshifter named Berman said: "Your Excellency Lianwei, Phinea is a strange character left for us to study by the Lord of Thousand Faces. The dilemma we are facing now The reason is that Phiniya's life trajectory is a bit contradictory, she didn't see any potential to become a hero in the first half of her life. But her experience in the last one or two years is very unusual."

William pointed to "Fenia" who was hunting clumsily.He pretended to be disdainful and said, "Is that so? With such a stupid female, I really want to see what you mean by being unusual."

The elite shapeshifters looked at each other, and then led William through a section of snowy woodland, then through a valley and snow cave, and finally came to a snow-covered forest.

Standing in this jungle, William felt a sense of familiarity. Isn't this the hidden forest where he lived all winter? !

He walked in this jungle almost intoxicated, breathing the cold air full of restlessness, but he felt a warm feeling of returning to his hometown.

At this time, a chaotic sound came from a distance, and William and the shapeshifters found a hidden place to hide, and then saw a large herd of robust swollen deer running from a distance, and then went away.

Then I saw a tall figure running wildly following the hoofprints of a swollen deer. She had blue hair like a board inch, skin as white as tallow, and a slender and fit figure. She seemed to be in the grass. The female leopard in Feiji has a different aura all over her body, but isn't it the Phinea whom William has been looking for for a long time? !

William looked greedily at the running girl, but his calm heart was beating uncontrollably, and some features of his body had undergone irresistible changes.

He looked back at the doppelgangers with a smirk, and said, "What a charming girl! It makes my heart itch!"

Several elite shapeshifters whispered in horror: "Don't disturb her! We don't want to be brutally headshot by her."

William wanted to inquire about more news, so he endured the dryness in his heart and asked, "If you don't get in touch with Phineya, how can you interpret her life?"

Berman half-truthfully said: "This is the problem. Phinea in this scene is invincible. Without contact with her, we cannot further explore her life; however, any creature that appears in her sight will She killed her on the spot. We suspect that the key node of Feniya's life change is hidden here, but we still can't discover the mystery."

The elite shapeshifters didn’t tell the truth completely. Of course, Feniya’s life was not invincible, but now Feniya is playing the role of a real person. Compared with the shapeshifters, her own strength is unmatched. .

William pretended to ponder for a while, and said, "I'll follow up and take a look, maybe I can find something different."

The shapeshifters didn't stop them. They brought William here to discover the key points of Phinea's life experience.

What is the key point you want to ask?William can definitely tell you the correct standard answer, a runaway man who can completely overwhelm Phinea in terms of melee ability.

That is himself.

William followed Phinea along the hoofprints of the swollen deer. His movement speed was very fast, and his movements were as light as a civet walking in the snow, which was an incomparable skill of any shapeshifter.

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

William was walking on the cold snow. Although the surrounding terrain seemed familiar, it gave him an unreal feeling, because it was too quiet here, and he couldn't see things like chestnut rats and snow guinea fowls that were more common in the hidden forest. There were no traces of small animals, nor the cry of the warbler in the snow.

If William had been walking in a real jungle two years ago, he would have turned his head and walked away.However, in this replica scene set up by the shapeshifter, he can ignore all phenomena that do not conform to the laws of nature.

The hoofprints on the snow were very clear, including Phinea's footprints, but William soon discovered the footprints of the second person, and he even noticed that this sudden extra footprint was even similar to the one left behind him. The footprints are quite similar.

It looks like someone is going to play me, ready to stain the man's forehead (read sha three times), I really can't bear it!

William immediately quickened his pace and hurriedly chased after him at a speed almost galloping like a galloping horse, and soon saw the target he was looking for.

The herd of deer that Phineya was chasing were naturally not real beasts, they were all transformed animals of the shapeshifters, acting as prey to be hunted.

For these deer-shaped doppelgangers, every participation in the replica is a race for life. While it needs to avoid the deadly hunting from Phinia, it must also ensure that she will not become suspicious and want to do this. Undoubtedly difficult.

But the doppelgangers also found a tricky way.Whenever Phinea hits a shapeshifting deer with a throwing stone or throwing axe, another unidentified character will jump out to attract her attention, and then other shapeshifters will take the opportunity to rescue the unlucky deer.

Of course they leave real venison in place as Phinea's spoils.

The footprint that William found was very similar to his (footprint), which was left by the doppelganger responsible for distracting Phinea.

Although this elite shapeshifter is playing the role that belongs to William, it doesn't know who it is playing, so it can only become a plausible existence to fool Phinea.

Under normal circumstances, the shapeshifters who play this role have a miserable end. Although they will not be killed directly, Phinia always beats and tortures these guys cruelly, which makes it difficult for shapeshifters to play this role. Fixed, the frequency of personnel replacement is relatively frequent.

This time, the battle ax thrown by Phinea caused relatively heavy damage to a deformed deer, so that the poor deformed monster who suffered heavy injuries almost recovered its real body in an instant.

The shapeshifter who played William was about to rush out to lure Phinea away, but unexpectedly, a powerful hand suddenly popped out from behind and covered its mouth, preventing the shapeshifter from making a sound.Then another iron-like palm grabbed its neck and twisted it suddenly, only to hear a crisp "Kaba", but it directly broke the deformed monster's neck bone.

The elite shapeshifter who suffered from the broken neck trauma did not die immediately, but it could only fall to the ground and fell into a helpless state with most of its body maintaining a human structure.

Feniya watched in frustration as another swollen deer turned into a faceless monster. Ever since she lived in this jungle, she had encountered this situation many times, which made her hunting experience extremely bad.

And the guys on the other side, since you guys want to pretend to be William, can't you be a little more real?

Phineya was about to pour out the negative emotions accumulated in her heart on the idiot who was about to jump out to die.But when that figure really appeared, she was a little stunned.

What a familiar face, that unruly expression, that sharp eyebrows, that short flame-colored red hair, and that steel body that contained infinite power, it was just as real.

Phineya rounded her fist, and she decided to use her iron fist to "love" this smart amoeba!

The fist hit the opponent's face, and Feniya felt as if she had hit the bast of a dragon, but she couldn't shake the opponent's face.Immediately afterwards, she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist, and then she was picked up and fell on the snow as if she was flying through the clouds.

Familiar formula!Familiar taste!Phineya even remembered every step she was going to go through next. She kept hitting that familiar face with her fists, but she couldn't stop him from being so arrogant and unspeakable to her, just like in the past.

What a familiar and long-awaited feeling!

After all, Phineya stopped beating William. She stroked his slightly swollen face with her palm and whispered, "Is it you? William!"

William held Phinea's face in his hands, and wanted to say something affectionate: "It's me! My Phinea, I have traveled through countless worlds, slaughtered countless creatures, and finally found you!"

But what really came out of William's mouth was bloodshot saliva.And a slightly annoyed scolding: "Stupid woman! You're still beating up endlessly, aren't you?! I almost smashed my face to pieces!"

Phineya hugged him happily and said, "I miss you, William."

……

Just as William and Phinea were "fighting" in the snow, the shadows in the distance were full of elite shapeshifters with bewildered faces.

That's it?A group of shapeshifter elites have been unable to overcome the difficulties, so they were solved by a "human" with what?This is too simple.

There is a saying that Xiao Bie is better than a newlywed. Although there are many uninvited onlookers around, neither William nor Phinea took them to heart.Of course, Phinea just doesn't care much about secular etiquette, but William regards the entire Laprous' shapeshifting monsters as dead souls.

From the moment Phineya was brought here, their fate was already sealed.

The snow that was once as white as a winter quilt.

After arriving at the place, what appeared in front of William was a familiar village.

Nome Village, where William started in Faerun, is also the happiest place Phinea has lived in since she can remember.Phinea took William into the village like offering a treasure, and visited every house, stable, and the warm cellar. In that cold winter, the three brothers and sisters and Phinea were left behind warmly. time.

The bonfire in the fireplace blazed up, dispelling the chill in the cellar, and William and Phinea reminisced about a warm past life here.

There is no shortage of cooking utensils and ingredients in this replica cellar, and William cooks up a delicious venison stew.Of course, these venisons were not obtained by Phinea from hunting, but the rewards offered by the shapeshifters.

After all, the prey she hunted were basically fakes disguised by doppelgangers, and no venison could be harvested at all.

The two of them were full, and when they were enjoying this rare moment of tenderness, William suddenly asked in a rather unpleasant way: "Fineya, why did you make a deal with the spirit world's skinchanger?"

Phineya was stunned for a moment, but she continued to play with William's fingers and said, "Yasuna is a bad woman! She betrayed you and me, and she even wanted to hurt Misha. I want to hate her , but I can't hate it, she is my mother after all!

William, Phinea feels that she is also a bad woman. If you can't resent Yasuna's me, it is essentially a betrayal of your trust.

Leaving you is my only choice. "

William frowned and asked, "Who told you these words?"

Phineya asked curiously, "How do you know it wasn't my idea?"

William pinched Phinea, and said with a sneer, "With your current brain, you still can't say such high-quality words. If no one provokes you, you will be depressed at most, and it is impossible for you to think of leaving me."

Phineya let out an "oh", and then said obediently: "It was Tabari who told me that leaving you is my only way out. She also said that if we are destined to be a married couple, fate will make us happy." We met again. I think Tabari was right, and fate really brought us to meet again."

William took a deep breath, and said in a blunt tone: "Next time you meet Tabari, don't talk nonsense, just hit her with an axe!"

"Oh why?"

"There's no reason! Just do it. By the way, was that spirit world skinchanger introduced to you by Tabari?"

Phineya nodded, and said excitedly: "That person is amazing, she can become exactly like me, and Misha'er and the others can't tell the difference."

Then she said with some depression: "She said she would take good care of you instead of me, and arranged for me such a place, so that I can start a carefree life again. However, I still miss you, William."

William patted Phinea on the forehead, and said with a wry smile: "Silly woman! Tell me if you have something on your mind, you'll be sold for money! Phinea is Phinea, Yasuna It's Yasuna, and I know it very clearly in my heart, you are my most loyal partner. Besides, Yasuna's betrayal is not all her own fault, she is also involuntary."

Once a simple-minded person gets into a dead end, the knot in his heart is more difficult to get rid of than those with a heavy heart. However, after these twists and turns, with the two people's in-depth communication and mutual heart-to-heart, Feniya's Finally let go of the knot.

In this way, William can finally let go of his hands and feet to do a big job.

In fact, William never worried about whether the enemy was too strong, but was worried about the cunning and changeable methods of the spirit world skinchangers. He was only worried that he could not find Phinea.

Now that Phineya has found her side, William immediately raised his head to the sky and let out a long cry, the sound was like thunder rolling, shaking the whole field into panic.

Those elite shapeshifters finally realized that something was wrong with the so-called "playwright" who was entangled with the important client Feeney, especially when William showed his true colors, some of them began to faintly Some doubts.

Some elite doppelgangers immediately approached to check.

Let them belatedly discover the true identity of the "playwright master".

The highest level of alarm sounded in every corner of Laprous' lair, and countless shapeshifters and elves walked out of the castle in full armor. They formed a battle formation and surrounded William and Phinea.

Spirit world shapechangers have conducted countless copy transactions with creatures from other planes, and it is not uncommon for them to interrupt transactions for various reasons. Shapers sell their souls to demons or devils as slaves.

But among all the spirit world shapechangers, there has never been a situation where someone came to the door to take out the trader.If William really rescued Phinea, then the Lord of Many Faces would be the biggest joke and shame of all spirit skinchangers.

And these subordinates and servants of the Lord of Thousand Faces will also bear endless ridicule and humiliation in the world.

However, the doppelgangers and little genies in Laprous' lair only felt humiliated and angry, but no one thought that William could successfully rescue Phineia. After all, they had enough manpower and military power to take any Delusional people are crushed into trash.

The little djinn wear armor like humans and hold weapons to form a well-equipped army.The changeling monsters have become the most powerful individual creatures that they think can be simulated, or form a neat team, or fight on their own in chaos.

They enclosed the hidden forest that was engraved, and then compressed it step by step, gradually reducing the space that William and Phinea could move around.

It's a pity that William didn't pay attention to the behavior of the subordinates of the spirit world's skinchanger. He took Phinia out of the replica Nome Village, but saw enemies in all directions.

Instead, he directly used the only available spell slot to summon the gate of flames. Accompanied by surging flames, ten curse-fire phoenixes rushed out of the gate of flames, and then four of them rushed towards four directions.

World-destroying fireworks bloomed one after another on the top of the ice and snow, setting off boundless death and destroying infinite creations. The terrifying tide of ether particles reverberated throughout the spirit world, causing all creatures in the ether world to have a catastrophe. to the feeling.

Feniya didn't know much about the cursed fire phoenix. It was the first time she had seen this terrifying flame behemoth showing its power. The terrifying flame of destroying the world almost suffocated her spirit. The frost giant was deeply afraid of the flame. Deep in her veins.

But when William held her palm and covered Phinea's body with gentle curse fire, the fear dissipated invisible like dust.

Terrible shock waves and flames tore apart the lair of Laprous, and countless buildings and lives were destroyed. At the same time, the boundary line between the ether world and the ice plane was torn apart.

However, the old mage had already noticed something was wrong when the shapeshifter and the little dwarf assembled their team.He realized immediately that William might have exposed his identity.
