The Swordsman of Faerûn

Of course, the fear-phagating body has also been affected by part of its strength. At least some special abilities that belong to the fear-phagating body family cannot be used temporarily, which saves those flea-like guys from many fatal crises.

In this scraping battle, although Sanyu's output is not bad, it always feels a bit unsmooth. At this time, it misses William's true life-and-death friend.That guy has means and strength, but his ability is a monster of the Tiankemoando series. If he was on the scene, he might be able to directly smash this maggot mass into a puddle of yellow pulp.

Unlike now, Sanyu had to hide from the output.

It is not the same as these young kids around, if those guys make a mistake or something, as long as Mr. Longthorn's assistance and treatment are timely, they will be able to continue scraping alive and kicking immediately.As long as Sanyu makes a slight mistake, or is approached by Moander's power, his whole body will immediately fly away and decay into a pool of ancient dust.

This long and tedious battle lasted for three days and three nights. During this period, Sanyu was ashesed twice, and then climbed up from the ashes again after 24 hours, and continued to jump knife output.

Sanyu's move really shocked a group of temporary comrades in arms, not to mention the members of the Dragon Thorn team who were already on guard against it, even the well-informed and confident Mr. Dragon Thorn was baffled by him. fear.

Not to mention Sanyu's contribution, Mr. Longthorn's little friends are also like red-eyed rabbits after staying up late and squeezing juice, all of them are in a trance, and they are all sweaty, including Mr. Longthorn himself. .

The poor incarnation of Moander screamed William's name unwillingly, and was completely consumed into a mass of decayed gray matter.

The victory of a marathon-long battle does not make this group of warriors happy and joyful, because they are now facing another very deadly task.

Travel hundreds of kilometers to another dangerous place to lift the curse that binds you.

By the way, Dragon Spur Team was not called Dragon Spur Squad at first, but another name.This is a well-known adventurer team in the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars, led by Vander Longthorn's daughter Arias.

Half a year ago, when this adventure team was going to the Kingdom of Cormyr to carry out their mission, they encountered a fatal ambush on the border of the Kingdom of Cormyr.

Although they were not killed by the enemy in this ambush, they all became prisoners of the enemy.But unexpectedly, the enemy released them later.

When the team came back to their senses, they found themselves lying down in an inn in the border town of Cormyr, Tilverton. Except for a few gold coins, all other equipment and items had disappeared!Not only that, there are five more blue tattoos of different shapes on each person's arm, which cannot be removed no matter what method is used.

Originally, these five curses represented the combination of five powerful forces, including the secret organization [Fire Dagger], the fanatic group [Dragon Witch Cult], the arrogant [Red Robe Wizard] members, and the ancients who expected to come to the world again. The insidious control and vicious planning of the adventure team by the gods [Moander] and others can be called the curse of the blue shackles.

It's a pity that when this conspiracy is at its most critical - the adventurer team under the control of the cyan shackle curse is about to launch an assassination operation against the king of the Kingdom of Cormyr, King Asan IV, the goddess of magic is farting!

The magic net is shorted!

Arias and her companions were then temporarily free.

After going through a series of almost endless escapes and adventures, the adventure team unexpectedly met Sanyu in a strange way, and with the help of Sanyu, they went deep into the outer domain and gave Vander Longthorn, who was trapped in Pale Castle in Exile, to the world. rescued.

In fact, the disconnection of the magic net only made four of the curses lose their effect, and the last curse belonging to the ancient god Moander was still intact and exercising its due effect.

This also means that if the members of the adventure team want to completely lift the curse, they must find the corresponding target and solve the terrible threat from Moander.

And eliminating this worm-phagating body pushed all the way from the west is the first step in this redemption operation.

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

In the depths of the Comanthor jungle, in an ancient ruin near the northern city of Yulas, a huge pulsating sound is sounding, like the drum of fear being beaten slowly.

Yurath was once a large and fortified city-state with a rich people and loyal guards, its walls well-tested by the black wave of the northern orcs, earning the city the reputation of "immovable stronghold".

But the good times didn't last long. I don't know when Yulas became the focus of competition between the northern neighbor Zhentil Castle and the southeastern neighbor Yuanshan City.

From the beginning of scrambling to win over each other, to mutual defense and crusade, at a certain period of Yulas' stupid and short-sighted leadership and greedy people's vacillating stance, they gradually began to fall, and the continuous war surrounded Yulas The city walls burned for a full 100 years.

From the initial resistance to the later confusion and despair, the people of Yulas shed their blood and tears, exhausted their last courage, and finally fled from their former homeland.

Today's Yulas is just a dilapidated ruin of a deserted city. The former owner is long gone, and only a dilapidated city wall remains, which still tells the prosperity of the past.

Of course, it is not that there are no new residents in this ruins.

In the most intact inner castle, which was also the lord's castle of Yuras in the past, a group of soldiers from the northern neighbor Zhentil Castle were stationed. The mountain city gave an early warning - the premise was that the distant mountain city, which had already been frightened, dared to continue to expand to the north.

In the larger ruins of Yulas, there are many monsters and aliens that are not friendly to human society, such as groups of goblins, chokers, goblins (a kind of ogre monster), beholders, etc. , of course, the most feared among them are a group of evil cultists who believe in the ancient corrupt god Moander.

These evil servants call themselves Moander's servants, and they are feared not only because of the twisted hearts and perverted minds of these evil ones, but also because of their own terrible mutations.

It should be noted that every servant of Moander will conduct a terrible ceremony as a test when he joins.

During this ceremony, a seed of Moander is implanted into the Protestant.

The seeds slowly grow in the flesh and blood body, spreading throughout the body until the entire internal tissue of the host is completely transformed into decayed vegetative factors.

But, outwardly, the only change in these cultists is a tiny flowering tendril protruding from the ear, which can either hide in the ear hole or wrap around a whole lock of hair. , protecting the host's head like a hat or helmet.

At this time, the spirit and body of the host are like a one-way network cable directly connected with their masters, and will always be under the direct control of Moander—as long as the God of Corruption has the will.

Once Moander directly takes possession of a body, its grip on the living body will become stronger, and the erosion from the inside out will begin.

Different from the churches of other gods who have differentiated into different classes and statuses due to differences in job titles and abilities, the believers in Moander are basically equal. The division of labor among believers is different."

Of course, this is not to say that the believers of Moander are really as lofty as a certain belief in William's previous life, but that they have gone to another extreme.

All Moander's servants are nothing more than slaves and puppets of the Dark Inducer (as Moander is honored among the cultists).

The reason why Moander's servants gathered near the ruins of Yulas was not without reason.

Unlike most normal gods who lived in outer planes or star realms, Moander, the ancient god, was much more miserable than that Savras.His essence was not only sealed and imprisoned, but the core of his body was even cut and separated. Part of his divine essence was sealed in Faerun, in an underground tomb near Yuras.

With the help of the unique ability of the ancient gods, although Moander's main consciousness is in a deep sleep state, the consciousness differentiated from part of his split divine instinct can run out from time to time with the help of the body of the servant to breathe, and by the way Have some fun for the elves in the south.

In the period before the coming of the gods, the servants of Moander joined forces with four other evil organizations to carry out a conspiracy.

It's a pity that due to some special accidents, the person in charge of planning among Moander's servants had to go to the western world of the Great Sand Sea to perform an urgent task, which caused the entire conspiracy plan to be suspended for several months.

Then when this conspiracy was restarted, it happened to hit the head of the magic net disaster brought about by the death of the goddess of magic.

No one likes accidents, not even the followers of the Old Gods.

In order to bring those tool people out of control back on track, the servants of Moander had to hunt various sacrifices in large quantities to sacrifice to the corrupt god. —humans and diseased animals and plants) and wild and violent creatures (such as orcs and similar) sacrificed Moander.

Then use Moander's divine power to activate and maintain the cursed shackles they left on the tool man, so as to lead those "dishonest" idiots into the "right path".

And those so-called idiots are the adventure team headed by Mr. Longthorn's daughter Arias, and they are also members of the current Dragonthorn team.

In Faerun, unless there is magic or the help of flying mounts, it is basically a luxury to quickly cross a distance of hundreds of kilometers in a short period of time.

But for Sanyu himself, this is not a difficult task.

There are countless historical relics and mysteries hidden in the great sand sea, and many of them still maintain their proper functions. Sanyu should not know too much about them.

This time Sanyu borrowed a catapult, which was originally a cold magnetic field launching device used by an ancient civilization to launch a stratospheric shuttle.Now this catapult naturally no longer has the power of its heyday, and it is impossible for Sanyu to find a matching shuttle to ride on it.

But he can directly launch himself as a shuttle, and of course it is limited to itself. For example, the Dragon Spurs team still has to rely on the traditional way to travel, and they can bear the huge inertia formed when they miss the magnetic ejection. shock.

In fact, Sanyu couldn't bear it himself, but it has an immortal body to save its life, and it can be resurrected after landing, which is something that no one in the Dragon Spike team can imitate.

Just as Sanyu told Vander Longthorn and others the reason for their separation, the reason why it chose this rather extreme way of traveling was precisely to find sufficiently strong foreign aid.

Moander is really difficult to deal with. Unlike other gods, the fields involved by this ancient god are very troublesome. Corrosion, decay, corruption, and parasitism involve both the power of life and death, and the power of time. Weili is involved, even if the god Aiou reprimands him, he can't completely restrain this twisted god.

If you want to get rid of some of Moander's divine essence sleeping in Yulas, these people in the Dragon Spike team are obviously not qualified.

It must be known that in another timeline without William, in order to kill Moander's clone, the Dragon Spike team was almost half-staffed, and there were thousands of powerful elf troops to help share the damage, but they still paid extremely It was a painful price, and Moanda was killed by the way of giving away the head abruptly.

However, a distorted passage called Moander Road was born in the Komandor jungle. Even the elves did not dare to call Moander's real name directly because of this too tragic disaster, but used "Moander" is a similar synonym.

The process of fighting the worm-eating body made Sanyu completely understand that it is impossible to eliminate the clone of Moander by the Dragon Spike team alone, and it must ask for foreign aid, and it must be a very powerful one.

As far as Sanyu's background is concerned, there are a lot of powerful people he knows, but after thinking back and forth for a while, he found that there are not many people who can call out to help at this point in time.

Sanyu calculated and calculated, but found that there was only one person who was the most suitable helping hand.

William, the target of the death contract of the Three Fools.To be honest, if there is no other choice, Sanyu really doesn't want to meet William. It is worried that William will execute him if he gets ruthless, so Sanyu will really sit on the wax.

However, there are priorities. Sanyu believes that facing the threat of Moander, William will not turn his face directly, and the chances of asking for his help are still very high.

Let’s say it was on this day that when William squatted on the Sierra tree and burned Tiransolas to death, and stuffed countless spiritual essences into the Qiushui Knife, a mass of rotten flesh was flying towards him at high speed in the sky. Come.

Feeling something in his heart, William jumped off the burning holy oak tree with the still hot Qiushui knife in his hand. Looking back, he saw a pool of rotten meat falling from the sky and slamming on the burning crown of the holy oak tree.

For a while, rotting bones and rotten flesh flew around, leaving only a few remains hanging precariously on the roots of the branches of the holy oak tree.

William has a powerful perception ability, and he can almost immediately sense who the skeleton that suddenly flew over belonged to.

What is Sanyu's situation, why did he send the corpse to the door?

Ren William wanted to use his brains, and it was impossible to guess which drama this life-and-death enemy was playing, but he understood that since Sanyu came to him in this way, there must be something urgent.

William himself did not want much, he was rarely greedy and ambitious, and the mess in the valley was not caused by ambition, but a journey of good fortune made by some kind of coincidence.

Perhaps one day, William may be addicted to the temptation of power and become the real emperor of the world, but now William is still a traveler who keeps his original intentions, so his feelings for the Three Fools are not due to the stakes, but mostly due to the grace of friendship .

Although the Three Fools plotted against William, they also gave William a lot of opportunities, especially the Chaos narrow line, which completely broadened William's vision and let him know that the underlying logic of this world is not what ordinary people see. .

William sat upright on a fork of the burning holy oak tree, quietly waiting for the resurrection of the three fools, while Emily and other elves, William's family and companions, who had been hiding in the distance and watching, couldn't hold back at this time. Despite the anxiety in their hearts, they all gathered at the root of the Sierra tree, looking up at the blazing canopy.

The elves headed by Emily Corona are naturally panic-stricken. After all, no one can feel at ease seeing their homeland being shrouded in fire. They are not only worried about the holy oak tree, but also the glorious spirit attached to the holy oak tree. Chi, and the ending of the human lord and the invisible demon.

The people William brought didn't have much worry. Whether it was the monk guard or William's family, there was always an inexplicable trust in his strength.For the legendary Venerable King Kong, invulnerability to water and fire is the most common supernatural power; and Misha and the others would never believe that there is any demon in this world that can threaten the invincible William.

By the way, the addition of the holy oak tree to the magic flame really surprised William. Even though he had cut off the blessing of the curse fire energy, the crown of the holy oak tree was still burning with the magic flame formed by the curse fire instead of burning vegetation of fire.

The sun rose and set, and the moon was on the treetops. When William felt that the time was almost up, he began to collect the magic flames that had been burning for a day and night on the holy oak tree, but he recovered a lot of energy of the curse fire.

When the embers of the raging flames dissipated, the corpses of the three fools who had almost been burnt to crispy bones rose up suddenly and quickly, and countless black threads spread out from them.

These black silks were intertwined and entangled quickly, like knitting a sweater, and before William's eyes, they reproduced the original appearance of Sanyu, an ancient sword-winged mantis covered in stubble.

During the whole process of the resurrection of the Three Fools, William has already faintly felt the connection between him and the other party, which is a kind of fate entanglement in the dark.

After the three fools came back to life, they looked at the surrounding environment a little confused, and then it saw William at a glance, which shocked the ancient sword-winged mantis, and then the three fools finally remembered their last memory.

Since the death and resurrection this time are quite "ordinary", Sanyu has not lost many memories before death, and it still remembers its own reason for coming.

As soon as Sanyu opened his mouth, he said: "William, this land is big--trouble! An ancient god is about to wake up nearby, and we need to stop him as soon as possible!"

William smiled slightly when he heard the words: "Three fools, are you afraid that you haven't woken up? The awakening of the gods has nothing to do with you or me? There are many gods in this world, and I just dismissed a few days ago!"

Sanyu flapped his wings and flew to William's side from the height of the canopy, and asked in surprise: "What? You fought with those gods and saints who came to the world? What's the result?"

Without waiting for William to answer Sanyu, he continued: "Okay! I shouldn't ask more questions! Since you are standing here intact, the result is self-evident.

I have to warn you in advance, though, William.

This time we are going to face an ancient god, whose situation and danger are not the same as the mainstream gods. "

William pondered for a moment and asked, "Which road god is it?"

Sanyu said, "It's Moander, the God of Corruption."

"Oh? So it's Him!" William frowned involuntarily.Compared with other gods, Moander is indeed much more dangerous to the mortal world.

This guy single-handedly concocted the fall of Taj, the god of destiny, and the birth of Tymora, the goddess of fortune, and Benbaza, the goddess of misfortune.

From a certain point of view, Moander single-handedly shattered the gods' control over human destiny, so that the development of the world is no longer based on the will of a certain god.

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

From another point of view, Moander's behavior has also caused the chaos of the fate of the entire multi-dimensional world, making the development of the world chaotic and disorderly.

Even Moander himself fell into madness and distortion because of the killing of Taj. His madness and disorder even affected the order of the distant kingdom.

No one likes Moander, including William.

He didn't want the land of beautiful mountains and rivers to turn into a twisted nightmare country, just like the tragedies he had seen in the chaotic narrow space, William refused those tragedies to be staged on his own territory.

Sanyu introduced to William the reason and detailed plan for coming to ask for help this time. After hearing this, William suddenly realized that there was still a little bit of his responsibility in it.

Indeed, he left the end of his own fight with others. If Sanyu and that adventure team hadn't made a move, the worm devouring the body might have really caused him some trouble.

So William really had to participate in this support battle, and it was the kind that spared no effort.William is not usually a person who likes to steal and play tricks. He helped him solve his troubles. Regardless of whether there was any thought involved in it, at least he had to fulfill his responsibilities and intentions.

The road to Yulas is not close. William and his party need to cross the swampy Rees River by boat first, go to Yuanshan City on the south bank of the Moon Sea, and then follow the bow axis road to Yulas.

Of course, before that, William had to settle the elf residents of the Serra Tree. The pool of light at the top of the scorched holy oak had temporarily dried up, and he wanted to wait for its recovery, but he did not know when it would be. Nor is it useless.

This huge super magical plant has not completely died, and there is still a strong vitality in the scorched black trunk. If it can stimulate the vitality, it is not very difficult to regenerate the dead wood, but it can give the elves who have just put into effect a safe place to stay. land.

There are countless benefits for the elves to make their home on the holy oak.

The first one is that the trunk of the holy oak tree is thick and tall, stronger than [-]% of the city walls in the world, and it is naturally cultivated, so it does not need to spend manpower and material resources to build it, and it is quite cheap to maintain.

It doesn't matter whether you are a demon or a ferocious beast, as long as you can't leap over the tree trunks of tens or even tens of feet, it will be difficult to harm the elves living above.

In addition, this holy oak tree is full of vitality and has many branches. The elves like to transplant and graft some lush melon and fruit plants on it. The output is even ten times better than that planted in ordinary fertile soil. If you can live with the lack of taste of vegetarian food, you can support yourself even with these outputs alone.

By the way, the elves are not vegetarians. On the contrary, they like to eat meat very much, and they admire top-quality fresh meat.

For example, edelweiss is an animal that can be transported, skinned, and eaten by the elves after countless generations of breeding. It is said that the meat of the edelweiss is delicious and tender, and its position in the elves' diet is no less than that of William. The domestic pig in the previous life is for the people in the hometown.

There are many more benefits of holy oak.For example, twigs are good materials for making magic bows and bard instruments; on the holy oak tree, it is easier to understand the true meaning of magic, get started with elf magic quickly, etc., and I won’t list them all here.

William opened the gate of flames again, and summoned a curse-fire phoenix to act as an energy source, and then he transformed a large amount of curse-fire energy into surging vitality, and injected it into the holy oak tree.

What kind of changes will happen when a tree trunk that is still alive is injected with a lot of life.
