The Swordsman of Faerûn

It is said that in Faerun, all kinds of magic and divine techniques are popular in treating injuries, and even most people agree that this is the real mainstream.But it doesn't mean that people don't know how to heal their wounds and diseases without spells and divine spells.

In fact, the threshold for healing with magic or divine magic is very high. At least 80.00% of the civilians in Faerun can’t afford it, and it’s not their turn to afford it. After all, there are restrictions on spell slots. You can't take turns with heroes and heroes, what kind of chaos are you, a little commoner!

Not to mention those aliens and declining ethnic groups who can't even touch magic and divine arts.

But this does not mean that civilians and non-Chinese ethnic groups have no way to treat the injured.Herbal medicine is such a healing method that is widely spread among the lower class commoners, and even many high-ranking people in Faerun spare no effort to promote its development. For example, there are several silver-haired sisters who specialize in it.

It can even be said that most spellcasters have studied herbal medicine.

The same was true for Zeria. Even though she couldn't use spells to heal her uncle at this time, she could still use higher-level hemostatic potions and healing-promoting muscle-boosting potions to stop bleeding and heal his wounds.

In fact, Zeria also has a painkiller made from poisonous mushrooms. Although it has a slight hallucinogenic effect, it can greatly relieve the pain of the injured. It is just to wake up her uncle. She did not take it. Come out and use it.

Zeria had just finished treating Anadol's wound, but William came over.

In fact, William was also quite confused. He really didn't expect Anadol, an old boy, to be so hardworking and dare to kill himself to show his ambition!What kind of spirit is this!This is... well!William admitted that he underestimated the religious lunatic a bit.

It's not that he is incapable of preventing Anador from hurting himself, but this thing is like a vote of honor. Regardless of whether Anador is sincerely willing to serve William, as long as he shows his ambition with his own blood, William Even if taking him in is acknowledging this person, Anadol can feel at ease.

Without this step, Anadol himself would feel separated from William's other subordinates, always feeling like an outsider.

And with this certificate, no matter who doubts him, Anadol can confidently say loudly: I was injured and bled for my master, who the hell are you? ah!

Of course, William didn't just watch the newly recruited brother bleed and cry. When Ms. Xeria finished treating Anadol's wound, he had a healing fire in his hand, and stepped forward to slap Anadol. On Er's chest, under the horrified gazes of the two mages, a stream of life force poured into Anador's wound.

Soon, William withdrew his palm. After all, there is nothing to touch on the chest of an old man. It would be the same if the big niece was next to him.

At this time, Zeriya's mouth opened wider than a hippopotamus, and Anadol frantically tore off the wound dressing that his niece had just bandaged up, only to see that the bloody wound had become smooth and intact His skin, except that the skin is a bit too delicate compared to other places, there is no trace of injury at all.

Anadol pointed at William and said in shock, "William...Your Excellency William, you, you, you...you can use spells?!"

William smiled pretentiously: "Of course! The glory of the goddess of magic has never faded before my eyes! Of course I can use magic!"

"Impossible! It's absolutely impossible!" At this moment, Zeriya finally spoke. She stared at William with beautiful Danfeng eyes, and looked at William with almost cannibalistic eyes, and shouted desperately: "I don't believe it! Far Mountain City There are hundreds of spellcasters, and there are even more people outside Yuanshan City, all of them have lost the ability to cast spells without exception! You can't be an exception! You must have used some kind of blindfold!"

But when a flame ignited in William's hand, the raging flame even made the two incapacitated mages have to retreat to avoid the high temperature, Zeria finally lost the confidence to doubt.

She stared blankly at William, a pair of beautiful pale green eyes froze there without focus, like the eyes of a dead fish with no vitality.

Zeria Talladim just kept repeating a question in her heart: Why?

Anadol didn't have the heart to worry about whether his arrogant eldest niece suffered a spiritual blow, but he directly asked the eldest niece what she wanted to know.

He asked frantically: "Your Excellency William, why is the goddess of magic favoring you so much? Did you do anything special?"

William said very cleverly: "I didn't do anything special, I just kept practicing the wishes of the goddess. Mr. Anadol, the goddess never abandoned us. She locked the magic net and was just testing us. At that time When the time comes, magic is still a gift that thousands of believers can rely on."

William made up here, and felt that he couldn't go any further!Otherwise, there may be serious problems.

Because a warning came from the bottom of my heart: Mortal William!You broke the rules!Stop your act of spreading the influence of the Goddess of Magic!

All right!William admitted that he was a bit over the top, after all, it was agreed not to intervene in the disputes of the gods.

Anadol asked with a look of curiosity: "My lord William, what should I do to win the favor of the goddess like you?"

William gave the priest a cold look (Anador is both a priest and a mage, and can be regarded as a mage level 9+/priest level 7+), and said, "I can't say! Pastor Nadol, you need to find it yourself , don't forget what you are doing now."

Anadol was overjoyed when he heard the words. Of course he knew that the Goddess's test cannot be cheated, and the respected Lord William had already reminded him, didn't he? !

So he said with a firm face: "Please rest assured! Your Excellency William, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

William nodded and said, "It's great if you understand! Mr. Anadol, I will launch an attack on Yuanshan City at noon tomorrow. Remember! Be sure to stay away from the south wall of Yuanshan City, my magic will come first. Time to destroy there."

Your Excellency the pastor is very happy. The old man is indeed a person favored by the goddess. Otherwise, how could this goddess' substitute stay in the temple where he is, and how could he have come into contact with such big secrets involving the goddess' test, and even walked in the temple? on the right path.

Anadol guessed that William should be the representative of the goddess of magic.The so-called agent is similar to the existence of the goddess elect, which can be regarded as the precursor of the elect.

Agents often perform tasks authorized by the gods. When the tasks are successfully completed, they will be rewarded by the gods. Of course, the biggest reward is to become a voter.

For example, the well-known great sage Elminster was Mystra's agent on the ground before he became a magic voter.

When Anadol asked William, Zeria, who seemed to be addicted to self-pity, pricked up her ears and "eavesdropped". Anadol got the answer she wanted, but Zeria was confused.

She was sure that these two people were hiding something from her, the man who played riddles was really bad!Especially one of them is her own uncle.

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

After giving some instructions to Anador, William left him a formal letter of persuasion written in elven script, and then left on his own.

The so-called capitulation document is written on the parchment scroll with gilt ink, which is a tradition.In the human world, especially in diplomatic activities related to spellcasters, documents written in elven script are more stylish than those directly written in common language or local script. of consideration.

In fact, it is not that there is no recognized official language in human society, that is, Netheril and the corresponding characters, but in the thousands of years after the demise of the Netheril Empire, human society has been subtly implementing De-Netherilization.

And it is the high gods, the demons and devils from other lands, and even some other messy existences that lead all of this.

The reason why this kind of wall is pushed down by everyone is that the Netheril Empire was too scary, if it wasn't for Kael'thas and a group of heartless fools , the entire giant ship could not be said to have become the complete masters of the human race again.

Then many bigwigs discovered that a unified human world is not a good world, and more diverse development is more interesting.

Although the common language is common in all worlds, this set of things is too shallow and cannot carry too many things at all. It can only be used for simple face-to-face communication, and it is not suitable as a formal diplomatic language carrier.

It just so happened that the appearance of the race of elves was relatively coincidental, and the language and characters of the race had a profound heritage, and the changes in the long river of time were relatively small, and the elves in several planes were basically similar with minor differences.

To use an analogy, this is like our Chinese language. There are all kinds of dialects and pronunciations in different places, but basically there is not much difference on paper.

It is precisely because of the many advantages of elven script, coupled with the fact that the elven family prefers to be self-confident, and the influence of the Standing Stone Agreement, that elven script has become the common language for official diplomatic documents of most countries and city-states.

In other words, any city-state that is incapable of deciphering diplomatic documents written in Elven language is just a grass-roots group of bandit shacks that are not recognized by everyone.

William actually didn't understand this set of so-called civilized rules. Although elven characters did have some good advantages, no matter how good the language and characters were, they belonged to others. What they carried was their cultural core, which was inherited from human beings. But it doesn't matter half a dime.

You can learn from this stuff, but if you want to treat it as a treasure and use it to replace your own set of things, it's a bit of putting the cart before the horse, and it will cause big problems in the end.

Emily Corona, a descendant of elf nobles, is more familiar with diplomatic documents. Although she is not optimistic about William's plan, she still put forward more pertinent suggestions.Of course, the writer is not her, but Misha'er.

Although the little girl's level of elf language is still not satisfactory, she can finally use it a little bit. At least William doesn't have to worry about some guys inserting personal items in it.

I am talking about you!Emily Corona!You little bitch who eats inside and out!

Of course, it's not that the female elves really eat inside and outside, but many city-states will hire some elves with good backgrounds to serve in them, such as Yuanshan City, there are some, and there is even a collateral member of the Sun Corian family.

Among the elves, the so-called collateral members refer to those elves who have the blood of their own family but are not qualified to be named, such as illegitimate children; or exiles who have been deprived of their surname because of some kind of mistake.

In Yuanshan City, there are many elves or half-elves who play the roles of high-level councilors and even lord assistants. Once the surrender document is handed over, these elves or half-elves will definitely be seen by someone.

And the secret words Emily left on the document can be passed on in a logical manner.

With the elven language proficiency level of William or Mishaer and others, of course, it is impossible to see through the mechanisms Emily left in the elven language documents, but William's perception ability tells him that the documents written by Emily are somewhat different. inappropriate.

So no matter how secretive Emily hides her little thoughts, she can't hide from William's ability to cheat.

In fact, Anadol also has a good command of Elvish language, and his level is enough to help William write the document to persuade him to surrender.However, William decided to dictate the content himself, Mishaer wrote the translation, and Anador corrected it.

In the end, a vulgar document with extremely ugly grammar and sentences was released in the eyes of Emily Corona. The female elf even thought it was an evil document that was extremely profane and defiled to the elf language.

It's a pity that as long as William thinks it's good, and Misha thinks it's something that is very Naes, Anadol will follow the trend and think it's good.

This day was the day when Miles, the great man whom everyone expected in Yuanshan City, gave his last speech before the election in the arena and large council hall of Yuanshan City.

The auditorium of the huge beast hall was almost full, and at least two thousand senior members from Scarlet Feather were present to listen to the speech of the future lord, including all members of the Great Council.

The unavailability of magic makes any kind of speech a relatively loud activity, but Miles has already had a countermeasure for this. A strange object called a giant sound conch just solved the problem of loudspeaker.

The giant sound conch is a magical creature from the elemental plane of air, which can simulate the sound of many ferocious monsters and transform this sound into a terrifying roar that shocks the enemy's gallbladder.

When the conch shell dies, the shell it leaves behind - a conch-like shell - becomes a natural loudspeaker loudspeaker. When you speak to this shell, even the slightest whisper It can also become a roar in people's ears.

The giant sound screw is a natural sound amplifier. Its advantage is that it is not restricted by magical abnormalities, but its disadvantages are also obvious. The closer it is, the more severe the impact of sound waves, including the speaker.

So when Miles gave a speech, he himself didn't feel very well. The huge roar almost deafened the ears of the soon-to-be lord.

Miles' speech was very slow, and he would pause for a while after every sentence, which made the speech seem a bit stuck, but the audience still gave warm applause to the future lord from time to time.

"...Profit! Wealth! And lofty status! This is a gift that I, your future lord, will definitely give you in return..." Just when Myers was a little dizzy, his loyal assistant However, the beautiful and charming Ms. Xeriya Talladim brought a middle-aged man dressed in extremely dignified clothes onto the podium.

Miles knew this person, he had secretly investigated Xeriya's background identity, Anadol Three Wolf Talladim, Xeriya's uncle, a mage who didn't seek to make progress, Ms. Elf Tree Priest of the Temple of Terra.

Miles thought he had guessed what Xeria was thinking. She probably wanted Anador to show his face at this moment of public attention, and then recommended him to the incoming lord.

Ah!What a greedy, stupid woman!If this bitch can perform well tonight, maybe he can give that incompetent man a not-so-important position——Myers thought happily.

However, Miles still felt unhappy, because Zeria did not notify him in advance, which offended the king behind the scenes of Yuanshan City. The consequences of accidents are beneficial.

Of course, what made Miles even more displeased and even a little angry was that the uncle and niece walked in front of him without any scruples. There is an unpleasant arrogance and arrogance, and there is no humility to ask for help.

When these two ignorant guys stood in front of Miles, Miles was very angry.He whispered to Xeria in a sullen tone: "Take your stupid uncle and get out of here! Xeria! This is the podium of the future lord, not your boudoir!"

Miles forgot that he was holding the giant sound conch in his hand. Although his voice was lowered, most of the audience could still hear it clearly, and everyone burst into laughter.

Zeria was ashamed and angry, she didn't expect Miles to humiliate herself like this, or Zeria had known Miles' nature for a long time, but she didn't expect that he never took himself seriously .

However, Zeriya did not lose her mind because of this, she had obtained the truth of everything from her stupid uncle.A chance to regain the favor of the Goddess of Magic, not to mention betraying Miles, even betraying the whole world Zeria would be willing.

And don't think of Zeria too badly, if Miles gets this opportunity, he will do even more.Even 90.00% of spellcasters in the world can't resist this deadly temptation. Only after losing the extraordinary magical power, spellcasters understand how precious it is.

Xeria smiled and came to Miles, and snatched the giant sound conch from the lord candidate's hand.

She said to Miles and everyone in the auditorium with a giant sound conch: "Your Excellency Miles! And the rich people of Far Mountain City! Allow me to introduce the gentleman I brought here.

This is Mr. Anadol Three Wolf Talladim, priest of Mystra from the elves, and also my uncle.

Of course, this is not the point I want to introduce.Mr. Anadol is the special envoy of a great person in the Valley. On behalf of the future king of the Valley Kingdom—Mr. William, he conveys an official ultimatum from His Excellency King William of the Valley to Far Mountain City and everyone.

Now!I invite His Excellency Anadol Three Wolf Talladim to speak for you! "

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

Anadol was wearing an elvish velvet robe embroidered with golden patterns, the holy emblem of Mystra on his body, and a silver priest crown on his head. His beard and hair were meticulously groomed, and his face, neck and hands were washed. It was very clean, without a trace of dirt, and it looked quite majestic and imposing.

Of course, all of this is thanks to the eldest niece Zeriya. Anadol himself is a slovenly and slovenly old man, and it is already more particular to ensure that his body does not stink.

When he first came to the podium, Anadol was so nervous that he was dying, but when his eldest niece dubbed him the special envoy of King William, Anadol suddenly found that he was not so flustered.

He even had the mood to think about how I should convey His Excellency William's ultimatum, whether to recite it directly, or hand over the document to the person in charge of the other party.

But before Anadol figured it out, Xeria had already made a choice for him.

Anadol took the giant sound conch from his eldest niece, and then unfolded the document with one hand, presenting the contents to everyone present.Of course, except for the closest people, the vast majority of people could not see the words on the sheepskin document clearly, even if those words were written in gilt ink.

Anadol said to the crowd: "Maybe many of you know me, but more people don't know who I am. I come from the tree of elves, and I am a priest of the Temple of Mystra.

But after today, each of you will remember me, because I am the special envoy of King William, the messenger of the Kingdom of the Valley! "

Speaking of this, Anadol took back the document, spread his hands up and down in front of him, and said loudly: "On behalf of His Excellency King William, who is about to be crowned in the Valley Alliance, I would like to read this ultimatum to everyone.

William King of the Vale said: 'People of Far Mountain!I, the Conqueror and Ruler of the Valley Alliance, stand before the walls of the city of Far Mountain, and your city stands in the way of my conquest.Now, there are two paths before you, resist me!Then be completely destroyed by me, including everyone and everything in Yuanshan City; or surrender and offer your loyalty to me.

Don't say it's unexpected! '"

When Anadol finished reading the surrender document in his hand, the audience under the speech stage was already agitated. They expressed their anger and ridicule to Anadol with various violent actions, including but not limited to slapping the table, Hitting weapons, cursing, roaring, or laughing and so on.

And Miles, who was standing on the podium, couldn't bear it even more. At this moment, he was already extremely angry, and looking at Anadol's back was like looking at a dead person.

The incoming lord of Yuanshan City has never wanted to kill a person as much as he does now. It’s not good when you come to make trouble. It’s just at this time. This is my last trembling before ascending to the top. I’m so sorry The scenery was tossed about by the thieves, but it became a big joke.

When the magic net changed again, Miles lost the extraordinary power of relying on it to suppress injustice. He knew that if he didn't quickly find a way to solve this sudden disaster, he would face more than just a loss of prestige. There is a high probability that life will be lost.

Who in a serious position doesn't have an enemy who can't see each other? !

In fact, what Miles hates more is Zeria who suddenly stabbed him with a knife. This bitch who should go to hell had a face of admiring him to death a few days ago. Whoever wants to backhand is a backstab.

Nima!Even the devil and bewitching girls are not so careless!

Thinking of this, Miles glanced at Zeria with vicious eyes, but saw that Bichi was smiling like a flower on his face.This made Miles feel even more hateful.

But Miles didn't want to deal with the traitor Zeria right now, although he wished he could tear her into pieces right away.Miles knew very well that Zeria's reputation in Yuanshan City was not low, and it was not worth the loss to turn her face now.

When he has legally ascended to the position of the lord of Yuanshan City, there will be opportunities and means to deal with this shameless scumbag!

Being unable to deal with Zeria for the time being doesn't mean Miles can't let out a bad breath first, and Anadol is undoubtedly the best punching bag, and this old bastard really deserves to die.

Just when Miles was about to call for someone to capture Anadol, Anadol's voice sounded again.

Anadol said: "Everyone in Far Mountain City! I know that many people look down on King William, believe me, you will change your views soon!

Now, my master is watching Yuanshan City from outside the city, he is waiting for you to make a choice!

When the twelve bells that represent noon ring, He will immediately destroy the southern wall of Yuanshan City to show you his determination to conquer Yuanshan City. "

Speaking of this, Anadol may be a little emotional, and he added a few impulsive words: "After noon, my master showed his majesty, you have to make a choice! People from Yuanshan City!

If you choose to fight to the end, please cut off my head and give it to my master, and then he will completely destroy the entire Yuanshan City.Or choose to surrender, send me out of the city with flowers and music, and let me report your obedience to my king. "

Zeriya next to her was in a hurry.
