The Swordsman of Faerûn

So for the elves of the Tree of Serra, they are facing a hopeless situation.It is impossible to gather people to deal with that terrible monster. If they do not resist, their group will be devoured and consumed by the monster sooner or later.

By the way, even without this monster, the drying up of the Sera Tree would have been inevitable.Without the support of the pool of radiance, life in the jungle is also a terrible torture for the elves.

Anyway, a town with houses to shelter from the wind and rain, and a hot soup and quilt to warm the body and mind are more comfortable and stable than sleeping in the wild.

This is also the reason why the left-behind elves have continued to infiltrate and spread into the surrounding human society in recent centuries.

The appearance of William and his companions is definitely a surprise to the elves of the Serra Tree.Even without counting William's terrifying combat power, just more than 20 human beings with vigorous vitality are enough to keep the residents of the Sierra Tree alive for a while.

Well, they can help the elves share the suffering of being sucked out of life by that monster.

That's right!The elves do have some malicious intentions.

However, after seeing William's strength, Emily suddenly had a glimmer of hope in her heart. Maybe this human man can deal with that demon.

Mention Solas!A terrifying invisible demon that prolongs its own life by constantly parasitizing the bodies of other beings.

When Emily asked William to help eliminate the demon, William refused. After all, it was the elves' own business and had nothing to do with him, the human lord, not to mention that the two sides were still at odds in terms of geographical positions.

It's just that Lady Elf doesn't want to miss out on a community's chance to be saved.

She persevered and said in a leisurely manner: "I'm afraid Your Excellency William still doesn't understand that terrible monster. It is impossible for the elves of the Sierra Tree to meet the needs of the monster. After it slaughtered and devoured us poor elves, its own strength It will definitely get a great improvement, and then the monster will definitely turn to find more intelligent individuals for parasitic devouring.

I don't think there is anything more suitable for the monster's purpose than the human towns outside the jungle. "

William said: "No matter how strong the monster becomes, I still have a way to deal with it. Elf, I am actually very happy to see your residential area destroyed by (monster), so that I can easily receive this land that has lost its belonging. land."

A group of elves all froze when they heard the words. Some said that this destined human being had a vicious mind; some elves felt that what the human lord said was very reasonable. do it.

The elves have such a personality, no matter what your standpoint is, they always look at you emotionally, instead of deciding ideas with a stakeholder standpoint.

To put it in terms of comparison, elves don't like to use their butts to decide their heads. They usually like to be the individual who betrays the interests of the class. The higher the status and the better the elves are, the more they like to do this.

Emily is also an elf with such a mentality, otherwise, as one of the only remaining elites in the declining Corona family, how could she be willing to give up the opportunity to go to the Utopia of Eternal Gathering Island, and instead stay in this bird that is destined to fall apart? Tree of Shira as Doomwatcher.

In elf culture, doomsday watchers refer to those lonely brave men who know that the result is not good, but have no hesitation to drill into it.Such elves are often respected by the ethnic group, of course you can't play tricks.

For example, in human society, some dark-hearted guys will deliberately sing high-profile at this time, soliciting people's hearts, fame, wealth, and status, but at critical moments, they run away with oil on their feet.

If you really want such an elf speculator, not to mention the spurning from the ethnic group, the gods of Seldarine will have to cast a curse of divine punishment to wipe you out.

After hearing William's cruel words, Emily almost immediately thought of a way to break the vicious plan of the human lord.

She said: "According to your lord's plan, you can only harvest a piece of uninhabited desolate forest land, and there is an unknown monster that needs to be dealt with. But if you are willing to help at this time, let alone that The monster is very weak now, Your Excellency should be able to expel it easily. You can even harvest an elf collar with ample output."

William naturally knew the meaning of the elf's words, but he deliberately pretended to be stupid and asked, "A wealthy elf leader? How is it possible! How can an arrogant elf be willing to belong to a human like me!"

Emily would not deliberately play tricks, this is a major matter related to the lives of a group of elves under her hands.So she said directly: "Your Excellency William, as long as you are willing to help us get rid of that monster, the Sierra Tree is willing to honor you as the new lord."

William suppressed the smile in his heart, and asked calmly: "Only you, can you make this decision on behalf of all the elves in the Sierra tree?"

Emily smiled confidently. Most of the elves in the Tree of Serra come from the bottom of the elf society. Their knowledge and abilities are limited, but they uphold the most traditional values ​​of elves. For them, in times of crisis, follow the wise And the strong is the most correct choice.

The female elf looked around at the surrounding elves, and said loudly: "I am Emily Corona, the No. 11 ranger general of the Corona family (legendary ranger, here means that the Corona family has given birth to at least eleven legendary rangers )’s third-generation daughter, and the guardian of the Serra Tree. Now I have decided to lead the entire Serra Tree to submit to the human King William of the Valley, does anyone have any objections?”

A group of elves have long been fed up with the hopeless days of being tortured by invisible demons. It's not that they haven't thought about escaping, but the young elves are okay, and the old ones have no place to run, after being sucked to death by the demons and becoming withered The old ghost was slowly tortured and died. To be honest, most elves would rather die of being sucked dry by monsters.

At this time, it seemed that there was a chance of relief, and naturally no elf without eyes came out to say no.

None of the elves objected, but William himself said: "Ms. Emily, if you want to defect to me, I naturally welcome it. But there is one thing I need to make clear in advance. The relationship between me and your elves is very serious. It's not very friendly. I don't know if you recognize the name Aililian Dawnhorn?"

Emily nodded and said: "The girl from the Horn of Dawn family is very ambitious, just like her parents, she is full of desire for power. Of course I know her, I heard that Ai Lilian is currently hosting the Plowing Valley in the south. A pioneering plan, does His Excellency William also know her?"

William slowly uttered a sentence that shook the hearts of all the elves: "I killed her with my own hands! It was on the city wall of Genggu Town, including three elves who followed her."

Emily gasped involuntarily, while the other elves whispered a bit, and the way many elves looked at William changed.

William didn't care about the changes in the mentality of the elves, and Gu Zi continued: "Not only Aililian Dawnhorn and her followers, but the elves in the entire plowing valley have been almost wiped out by me, and the rebels have been arrested. , the perpetrators were beheaded.

Now there are at least 2000 elves serving as prisoners of war and slave labor under my hands, and there will be more elves who will suffer the same fate in the future.

Ms. Emily Corona, I just want to ask you, you want to defect to me, but are you mentally prepared to be an enemy of your own kind? "

Emily's heart was really overwhelmed at this time. Although she had already seen that the human lord in front of her was unusual, she really didn't expect this guy to be able to do such an earth-shattering event.

What is the concept of more than 2000 adult elves?There are less than [-] elves left in the entire Comanthor (this is information that only the elves guards who stay behind know). Hold the field.

The elves who went to plow the valley to open up basically belonged to the pillars of the elves, and William's stroke was equivalent to the loss of one-tenth of the foundation of the entire Comanthor elves.

Human king, do you want to be so handsome? !

Not only Emily's heart was ups and downs for a while, but the other elves were also in a mess, and quite a few stunned youths were screaming and wanting to yell at William and the others.

Just when the guards next to William were staring nervously at the elves, thinking that a conflict might break out, William was still watching Emily Corona, waiting for the elf's final decision .

Although Emily's head was buzzing with the news that William released, she didn't lose her mind, instead, she thought more thoroughly.

Soon the female elf calmed down, and she shouted angrily at the messy subordinates: "Quiet!"

The noisy elves immediately became silent, and William nodded secretly. This Ms. Emily has a high prestige.

Emily took a deep breath and asked, "Lord William, I want to know, how will you deal with those elf captives in the future, kill them, or sell them as slaves?"

William shook his head and said, "No! I don't like to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and those elf captives are not guilty of death. As for the slave trade? Humph! I think the biggest crime in this world is to deprive innocent people of their freedom and dignity, and The slave trade was one of them.

After receiving the corresponding punishment, those elf slave workers can freely choose their own destiny.

They can choose to join my kingdom as freemen and become part of this land.You can also choose to leave the valley and go to other places to find your own happiness and destination. "

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

Emily is familiar with the ancient secret books of the elves, and has her own unique insights on many things.

Don't underestimate the ancient secret books of the elves. This race has also been rich. In ancient times, it was a first-class cosmic wealthy family. Interstellar travel, interstellar colonization, and pioneering star roads, in the fields of science and technology, culture, philosophy, and mystery. All have high attainments.

And the crystallization of the civilization of the elves is recorded in the ancient secret books of the elves.

Compared with the tragedy of the five major creator races being discounted, many treasures and inheritances are either disconnected, out of shape, or shelved, or hidden and waiting.

Although the elves have been living on their laurels, the inheritance has not been broken after all, but they are always being bled slowly and continuously.

Many insightful people in the elves are very aware of the difficulties faced by their own races, but due to the fact that the elves are always foreign groups, it is difficult to enjoy the many conveniences of the local aboriginal races in this one-third of an acre of Faerun, so they often It is powerful and difficult to apply, and it is restricted everywhere.

For example, the pool of light in the Tree of Serra was invaded by the invisible demon Tilan Solas. If it was changed to a human town, without some special means and procedures, the demon would never want to invade the main material plane.That is to say, the foundation of the elves has some loopholes in the protection of the laws of the main material plane, and any problem will attract the harassment of exotic monsters.

The elves know that if they want to obtain a registered residence book, there are almost only two ways to go.One is to make great meritorious deeds and gain the approval of representatives of thousands of local races (Gods of Pan-Ferrûn); the other is to abolish power and enter the pit, and integrate oneself with the local superior aborigines (integrate the Seldarine pantheon into Faerun pantheon), backdoor laying eggs to become local cubs.

It's a pity that the gods of Seldarine couldn't let go of their power and status, and couldn't find a chance to make great achievements, so they could only just grind like this, waiting for a turning point.

Emily, as an ordinary elf, naturally cannot know the thoughts of the gods above her head, but she has her own plans.Of course Emily knew about the elf disaster that happened in the plowing valley. In fact, when she learned that the humans were willing to take the elves as captives and labor, she knew that the human lord had some thoughts about the elves.

The life of the elves in the jungle of Comanthor was very tormented. There were too many difficulties and tribulations that plagued these survivors, making them struggling to live.

Emily is not that stupid idiot like Ai Lilian. She knows that the elves want to gain momentum, and everything else is empty. Only the population is the biggest capital, but the population of the elves is the weakest link. , Engage in self-reliance and hegemony, no one, you are playing a dick!

The smart and wise Emily has long wanted to find a reliable backer for herself and her clansmen, and the appearance of William just fits her wish.

So after confirming William's position and attitude towards the elves (captives), Emily directly expressed her allegiance to William, including the elves under her hands. Under the strong suppression of the female elves, she had to make a choice.

Just like the option given by William, if you are willing to contribute, we welcome you with both hands; if you don’t want to mess with me, we also welcome you to leave, but the next time we meet again, we will fight each other.

The elves of the Sierra Tree have long lost their arrogance due to suffering. Although many people are unwilling, none of them really disagree with Ms. Emily. Almost all of them choose to follow her and join William.

In this way, more than 20 elf soldiers with some abilities came directly under William.If these elf soldiers are counted by age, the youngest is enough to be William's grandpa. If a person has such a long period of training, even the simplest skills can be tempered to the point of turning decay into magic.

Now that the relationship between the two parties has been established, William naturally no longer entertains people's appetites, but vigorously asks to go to the elf's cottage in order to cut off the invisible demon monster as soon as possible.

It is said that the monster is temporarily unable to leave the pool of radiance for some reason, but this does not mean that it is easy to deal with.On the way to the Sierra Tree, William inquired about the monster in detail.

It's a pity that although the elves had already defeated Tiransolas once in the ruins of Myth Draenor, few people knew about that battle, and the elves of the Tree of Serra even fought against the central area. The elves lack contacts, which makes it difficult for them to provide much real useful information.

By the way, William and the others rode an edelweiss deer in the jungle. Although this edelweiss deer has poor survival ability in the wild and is also stupid, it is very useful as a jungle mount.

Not only is the Evelvet deer full of beauty and docile, it is also born with a unique ability, that is, it can walk through densely planted environments like a high-level ranger (equivalent to the ranger's [Walking in the Forest] ).

At least William and the three little girls felt very satisfied riding the edelweiss deer. Whether it was grass, vines, or various shrubs and branches along the way, they all miraculously avoided them, although the speed of travel was a bit slow. , but it is also a high-end transportation, no matter what.

A group of elves and humans trekked through the jungle for a long time, and finally arrived at the tree of Serra.

The Tree of Serra is indeed a tree, a huge tree nearly a hundred feet in diameter, a sacred oak tree in the eyes of the elves, and some people also call it a weir tree.

This elf village is on the crown of this holy oak tree, and the exquisite elf wooden houses are scattered among the branches of the holy oak tree, forming a beautiful picture full of fantasy.

What is even more mind-boggling is a strange spring water.The pool of radiance is not on the ground, but is located in the center of the crown of the holy oak tree, a trunk groove the size of a hall (approximately [-] square meters), filled with clear water that exudes an inexplicable luster, and gurgles And the artesian spring that comes out is the famous pool of brilliance.

The spring water overflowed from the edge of the groove, and flowed briskly into the tree houses of the elves along the water channel that matched the bark texture of the holy oak tree, and then flowed out again, floating in the air, forming a mist that was almost smoky.

The Sierra tree is not unsightly, but what is more disturbing is that in the almost sacred pool of radiance, there is a decayed figure sitting in it, small in stature, but wrinkled and pale, with gray hair. , with a dead air.

William knew with just one glance that the body in front of him was not very old, it could even be said that he was still a child, but that decrepit appearance was a sign of exhaustion caused by excessive vitality.

When William stepped to the edge of the pool, the decayed body opened its dark gray eyes, opened its mouth to reveal two rows of sharp fangs, and said in a hoarse voice: "You came early, my bread ( Elvish)!"

But William replied in Common Tongue: "No! I am late, my prey!"

The decayed body was stunned for a moment when it heard the words, and then said in surprise: "A human? Jie Jie Jie! What a vigorous vitality, a rare delicacy! Come closer, my child! Let the sister (meaning relatives in the elf language) take care of yourself!" have a look……"

William only felt an inexplicable fluctuation flashing through his mind, and then the decayed body in front of him turned into a beautiful woman. William couldn't even describe the appearance of this woman, but felt that she fit him in every way aesthetic G-spot.

William frowned, but his eyes were fixed, and he immediately broke free from the intoxicating illusion.Then what caught the eye was a living dead like a mummified skeleton.

The moment William woke up, the monster immediately sensed and realized that the evil demon erupted a wave of mental shock almost at the same time, but it caused all the intelligent creatures around to feel a wave similar to that of a sledgehammer. Pain like smashing the skull, and the brain is buzzing.

William also had the feeling of being hit with a sap, but the strength of the sap was not up to standard, it just made him dizzy for a while, and then nothing happened.

William was not a person who would only be beaten but not fight back. He immediately slapped the decayed body that was approaching, and punched the monster with the power of flames.

Soon the monster occupying the decayed body began to scream, deadly flames burst out from its body, and the seven orifices of the body spewed out flames and smoke mixed with foul smell.

It didn't take long for the decayed body to become a puddle of ashes that fell into the pool, causing bursts of bubbles, like boiling lime water.

Then another decayed body emerged from the pool. This was a more decayed and older corpse. The stiff skin covering many parts had been damaged, exposing the blackened bones inside.

With a hoarse voice, the monster said: "Damn human! If I'm not too weak, your body has become my collection! I hate this weak and weak skin, it always makes me change Be weak! Man, I smell the corpse of a dragon on your body, tell me where there is a corpse of a dragon, and maybe I will spare your life as a reward."

Whenever an animal dies in the wild, the vultures can always gather around as if they could smell the smell in advance.And the invisible demon Tilan Solas seemed to have a similar ability, but he could smell the corpse of a dragon from William's body.

William just sneered at the demon's threat. He rushed forward and burned the monster's shell again with the power of flames. Even if the other party deliberately sank the shell into the pool, the result could not be changed.

In fact, it was very easy for William to deal with the monster's encroaching body. After all, the body was too fragile. Not to mention him making the move, even if Misha came, he could easily deal with it. Of course, it was only limited to the body.

Except for the special case of William, the powerful illusions and abilities of Tyransolas are extremely deadly to any mortal.

Back then, Elminster had to hide his identity and team up with a group of unknown adventurers to deliberately paralyze the enemy in order to defeat Tiranthoras who occupied Myth Drannor's Pool of Radiance.Then, when the demon was careless because of his arrogance and arrogance, Elminster would sneak up on him without talking about martial arts, so that he could make a final battle.

Tiransolas is difficult to deal with. Under normal circumstances, mortals have few ways to harm its body, including a series of energy or spell damage such as high-temperature flames, frost, electricity, and strong acid, and physical attacks can only damage monsters temporarily. Invaded shell.

The normal flames released by William also cannot harm the essence of this invisible demon, but this does not mean that William does not have his own real cards.

At least the curse fire has never disappointed William. Of course, there is another move of "killing eight hundred enemies and one thousand self-damage".

Of course, because Tiransolas was too mysterious and special, William couldn't reveal these trump cards before he really had a chance to kill the opponent completely.

Because no one can be sure what kind of life-saving means Tiransolas is hiding. If this thing can't be killed completely at once, it will definitely be a big trouble for the other party to recover.

However, to William's surprise, the monster in front of him didn't show any great abilities, except for constantly sending those wrecked bodies that had been drained of vitality to William for cremation.

Accompanied by the demon's noisy mental harassment, threats, intimidation, temptation, begging for mercy... Tiransolas almost used his ability to deceive to the extreme, but William's will was like a stone in a latrine , making the demon almost go crazy in impotent rage.

William didn't even know how many innocent lives were killed by this monster. He destroyed one decayed body after another. The ashes left by those burnt bodies almost filled the pool of radiance, which was originally clear and holy. It all started to get cloudy and dark.

William's perceptual ability told him that the demon must be holding back some bad moves, and he must not waste his time with the enemy like this.Standing in the muddy water up to his waist, he used all his strength to drive the water in the pool of radiance that had almost turned into a soup of ashes, causing the water in the entire pool to swirl and flow like a whirlpool.

The demon hid in the shell that was pulled out again, and it was almost unable to stand still under the impact of the turbulent pool water. As the vortex turned faster and faster, the monster soon became a floating object that drifted with the current.

Swirling the filthy pool water was not William's end, but his means.

Standing in the center of the vortex, William tried his best to control the centrifugal force of the water that was almost running wild. When he felt that the speed of the vortex had reached a certain level, he suddenly let go of the restriction and counterattacked the vortex with great potential. It is to let the muddy water in the whole pool burst out like a river bursting its embankment, and sprinkle it on the holy oak tree.

However, the pool of brilliance that was originally full of spring water has now become a dry and empty pool, and the bubbling spring is slowly filling it up, but I don't know how long it will take.

But the demon screamed angrily: "Damn human! If I hadn't been attacked by... and never recovered! I was banned by the power of the magic net, how could I be teased by you, a little worm! I Get angry! Humans, prepare to die!"

Accompanied by these voice transmissions in his heart, an invisible energy enveloped William, enveloping him from all directions.

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

The entire holy oak tree trembled violently, and countless energies were pulled out from the tree core, turning into vicious thoughts and pouring into William's body.

It has to be said that the place Tiransolas chose to live in was good enough. Whether it was the magic support from the Holy Oak or the surge of energy from the Pool of Radiance, this demon's basic board was greatly supplemented.

If it wasn't for the disconnection of the magic net that restricted the recovery of Tiransolas's strength, or even made its condition go from bad to worse, it would have thought of a way to keep food in enclosures and learn how to spread beliefs like those gods.

Instead of pressing a group of small crawling shrimps like they are doing now, sucking the little bit of life energy like sucking shit.
