The Swordsman of Faerûn

Among the six, Taras Byrna was the most seriously injured. Not only did the stitcher's attack tear his armor, but the impact caused by the attack broke many bones of the half-elf, including his spine. bone.

What's more deadly is that although the devil's attack only created a few seemingly innocuous scratches on the priest's back, the power of hell attached to these wounds has been tormenting him (equivalent to suffering from attribute damage). Absorb damage), unless someone can use [Advanced Restoration] to heal Taras, it will be difficult for this priest to continue his adventurous life.

Yakir and others were quite unwilling to suffer the failure of this trip to the ruins. They believed that if they could make preparations (material and psychological) in advance, they should have won this battle, at least not deserved such a fiasco.

Seeing that Taras had temporarily lost its combat effectiveness, and their team was missing many necessary personnel, Yakir and others began to shake people.

Thanks to the re-launch of the magic net, several people can contact the friends they want to notify without having to go to a real person to meet them.

There are many ways for adventurers to communicate over long distances, such as knowing the [advanced item transmission] of a specific communication location, such as synchronizing the information docking of magic twin props (crystal ball, mirror, or book page).

The twenty-seventh chapter of the elves caught in the disaster of food shortage

When one of them leaves a message (including sound, video or text) on one of the magic props, the other person who holds the other half of the magic props can see the corresponding information synchronously anywhere on the same plane.

This is the effect of the synchronous magic twin props.

Of course, the price of such magic items is generally relatively high, and there is almost no improvement in the personal strength of the adventurer, so most adventurers are not keen on collecting such treasures.

The most common long-distance communication method used by adventurers is the transmission of letters with the help of summoned creatures.

[Heavenly Eagle Summoning], a summoning spell widely spread among adventurers, the threshold for this spell is very low, and even some spellcasters who are just getting started can learn it.

This spell is more difficult than those zero-level spells such as magic tricks, and can be classified into the first-level spell sequence.But this summoning spell is much simpler than the real first-level spells, including various first-level summoning spells (including monster summoning and summoning undead).

[Heavenly Eagle Summoning Technique] The only restriction is that the caster must not be an evil creature, and the same is true for the target of the Heavenly Eagle to deliver the letter.

Celestial letter eagles have a very strange ability. They can determine who the recipient is by looking at the caster or letter writer.Then no matter where the recipient is in the same world, the Celestial Letter Eagle can reach the recipient within a day at most, unless the recipient is protected by anti-prophecy magic protection.

The method of transmission used by Yakir Brenners and others is the transmission of the celestial messenger eagle.

When these Celestial Faith Eagles soared into the sky, a huge change kicked off in the entire valley and even the surrounding area of ​​the Falling Star Sea.

With the partial restoration of magic, William established a correspondence link with Zeria Talladim, chief magistrate of Far Mountain, through Anadol Talladim, cleric of the Goddess of Magic.

A later "congratulatory message" from Ms. Hellen, praising his contribution to the security of the Cormanthor area, via Misha'er.

An embarrassing fact, William was not welcomed by the Celestial Eagle, and those flat-haired beasts classified him as an evil human being.

This is really infuriating, and William thinks that he will create a new recipe in the future - one hundred ways to eat the Celestial Eagle.

Although Faerun was not very stable this year, the valley people had a bumper harvest. The food planting in the valley city-states had a bumper harvest, and the monsters and robbers who like to run out to rob at this time in previous years have become relatively rare.

This put many adventurers and mercenaries in the valley into a situation of doing nothing, unless they were willing to dig the fields like farmers all the time.

However, the Celestial Xinying from the north suddenly found a new way out for the hard-working adventurers hiding in the tavern.The new king of the Vale is recruiting men outside the ruins of Yuras to explore and rebuild the abandoned city.

There are many job opportunities, good remuneration, and bright prospects. Motivated guys come here quickly!

Well, this is the core idea that the Celestial Letter Eagle sent by the six-person temporary adventure team from the ruins of Yulas wants to convey.

But what really moved the adventurers was that the port of Scar Valley Town was organizing fleets to transport food northward, and the destination of these fleets was Far Mountain City, a city near the ruins of Yulas.

And it is said that William, the king of the valley, has already conquered the city of Far Mountain, and now the wise king is obviously attacking Yuras, but it is not known whether his next target will be Faunla or Zhentil Castle.

However, most people guessed that it should be Fuenla, the town that has become the lackey of Zhentil Castle.

The first group of new adventurers to rush to the ruins of Yulas was a group of elves from the Tangled Tree, an elf gathering area in the Comanthor jungle.

The equipment of these elves is not bad, at least everyone has a good armor, although most of them are leather armor or even wooden armor (enchanted bark armor).

Many people say that elves don't like wearing metal armor.

shit!Do you really think the elves don't want to?In fact, reality does not allow it.

The mining of metal deposits by the elves is far behind that of humans and dwarves. It's not that they don't have technology, but that they don't have manpower. No one wants to do this.

The early elves (before the Crown War) had golems dedicated to mining, so that the elves did not have to worry about heavy ore mining, they only needed to do some more noble and technical work, such as art design, magic enchanting, jewelry processing, poetry writing, and more.

It's just that after several major changes, the elves lost the technology related to mining golems. In fact, it wasn't that the technical data was lost, but that the elves no longer had the ability to reproduce those things.

Of course, there are many reasons for this situation, so we won't go into details here.You only need to know that the elves on the surface keep the technical data of the ancient elf golems, but no one can understand them. As for the elves who can understand them, they ran to the underground world and evolved into today's Zhuo. Elf.

As for the profession of miners, their status in elf society is like that of dung collectors in our big cities. Everyone knows that this is an indispensable job, but no elves are willing to do it.

This is also one of the reasons why the relationship between the elves and the dwarves is so bad. Mining and forging is the dwarf's greatest hobby, but in the eyes of the elves, these little mounds rolling in the pit are simply tasteless to the extreme.

Come!The big guys despise them extremely!

These elves who arrived looked personable, and their strength was not bad. They even cured the half-elf priest Taras Byrna with spells. The [Advanced Restoration Spell] is not an ordinary spell, at least it must be a high-level spell. Only priests (priests with a career level of 13+ or above) can master this extraordinary magic.

It's just that when these elves entered the public canteen of the camp, they immediately became unpretentious.They were like a group of refugees who had just crawled out of the wilderness, trying to stuff as much food into their stomachs as possible, and many of them even rolled their eyes because they were choking on the soft bread and refused to stop eating.

If you ask why these elves are so hungry, blame it on the Goddess of Magic.

The disconnection of the magic net really hurt Comanthor's elves.

It should be noted that the land of Comanthor and the valley are one. The abundance here is only effective for humans. The results of the elves' serious planting in the woodland of Comanthor are even worse than those in the real barren lands.

The only effective way for the elves of Comanthor to break through the land's restrictions on race is to rely on magic.They will graft the crops to be planted onto those native trees, and then use elf magic to stimulate them.

In this way, the elves can even harvest several times more crops than those grown on normal land.

It's just that when the magic net was disconnected, those elves who relied on the power of magic to grow food were dumbfounded.They were not prepared for this kind of situation. With the usual arrogance and short-sightedness of the elves, they didn't have much food reserves, and how much could they gain from simple hunting and wild fruit collection?

So the food shortage situation spread among the elves in the Cormanthor jungle.

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

Crops are grown only with their unique seasonal constraints and climatic laws.

Of course, if the development of science and technology has reached the point of ignoring the weather and changing the physical properties of plants, then food cultivation will become another look.

People in the valley can enjoy the richness of the valley, which is the legacy left by human ancestors in ancient times to later humans.And the elves lived in the Comanthor jungle, even if they lived well under the restrictions of the peculiar regional characteristics of the valley, it was a gift from the strength of the elves' ancestors.

For a human farmer, it is not against the weather, not hurting the atmosphere of the earth, and not destroying the nature of the plant, so that it can truly grow good food in a serious manner.

For an elf gardener, growing crops is similar to growing flowers and trees.

Of course, the planting of trees here still requires real humans to do the work. For example, when the young Great Sage of Shadow Valley was studying in Myth Draenor, his most important job was to plant trees in the places designated by the elves. .

Since the reclamation of the valley, the strength of human beings in the valley has grown step by step, while the once great empire of the Comanthor elves has gradually weakened. Later, even the most brilliant pearl in history since the elves came to the land of Faerun—— - Myth Dranor, the capital of magic, had to give up.

One of the most important reasons is that the food production of the elves can't keep up.

Before humans and elves made a treaty in the valley, the elves royal court had secretly kept a large number of human servants (essentially slaves, but with slightly better treatment) as full-time farmers.

It was just waiting until the enslaved humans gradually awakened and began to resist the oppression of the elves, which caused great problems in the food supply of the elves.

As the saying goes, a good man cannot withstand three meals of hunger. Facing the crisis of food shortage, the powerful elves at that time had to lower their noble heads. Under the influence of various aspects, after all, it was the king of elves at that time, wearing the crown. The leader Altagrim and the human rebels made a treaty in the center of the Cormanthor jungle, and the two parties reached an agreement of reconciliation and coexistence.

In the years that followed, the game between the humans in the valley and the Comanthor elves never stopped. However, humans were somewhat scruples about the apparent strength of the elves, but the elves could not do without the assistance of humans, so everyone basically maintained The basic rules of fighting and not breaking.

However, this does not change the fact that the status quo of the elves is becoming more and more difficult to maintain.

Magic can make the elves stronger in battle, but it cannot directly produce food for tens of thousands or even 10,000+ elves to survive.Even though the gardeners and druids among the elves have studied carefully and created the technology of grafting and ripening crops, fruits and vegetables with elf magic, it is no different from the drop in the bucket for the entire ethnic group. Several major grain-producing city-states imported large quantities of grain.

For the Comanthor elves, a divided and turbulent valley is the best valley, and a united and united valley is the biggest threat to the Comanthor elves.

Therefore, for the city-states in the valley, the elven royal court in charge of Cormanthor is just like William's previous life, John Bull in the classical era, for the European countries.

It is said that Anka, the king of cloaks, was on the brink of failure, and there were black hands behind the Elf King Court.

But now William has the potential to dominate the valley as King Anka back then, and the elves of Cormanthor are naturally the most sensitive to this.It's just that after William established a series of valley city-states around the Comanthor jungle, he imposed extremely strict restrictions on the local bulk grain trade—especially grain exports.

But at this time, the goddess of magic unplugged the network cable again, which caused major troubles in the food problem of the remaining elves in Comanthor.

It should be noted that the elves are typical hypocritical people who are not tired of eating and eating. They rely on hunting and gathering wild fruits, as well as the previous food stocks. Although the elves will not starve to death, they cannot afford the entire Comanthor. The luxury consumption of tens of thousands of elves.

Even if the magic net is back online, it will take time for the elf gardeners to re-cultivate magic plants to produce rations.Therefore, when a shocking letter arrived at the Tangled Tree, the elves who were worrying about food immediately moved their minds.

This tangled tree is also a tree castle based on the holy oak tree, but the tangled tree does not consist of one holy oak tree, but is formed by twisting and entangled several holy oak trees.

A larger canopy also represents a wider area, as well as jungle trails connecting to the outside world, making the Tangled Tree the third largest elf gathering point in the entire Comanthor.

The inhabitants of Tangled Tree are mostly unwilling elven warriors, rangers, rogues, and half-elves who venture out, patrol, and hunt in groups.

When these adventurers return home during the unbearable winter, the population of the Tangled Tree will even more than double than usual.

For the elves of the Tangled Tree, it is undoubtedly a good solution to the food problem to leave the scarce rations to their families, and then let the fighters who are strong enough and young enough go out to ask for a living.

Therefore, it became more logical for these dozens of powerful elf adventurers to appear in front of William.

These elves did suffer a lot along the way. Without enough food, they could only survive by hunting wild animals and gathering wild vegetables and fruits along the way.

Don't look at the luxuriant trees in the Great Comanthor Jungle. In fact, after thousands of years of ecological oppression by the elves, the ecological circle of the entire Great Jungle has become extremely abnormal. Primitive forests are much rarer.

When William met these elves and discussed the employment conditions, even though these elf adventurers were envious of the fire, copper and steel equipment provided by William, they still chose food as a reward.

William is not the one who is short of food, not to mention that most of the city-states in the valley he just conquered are well-known grain-producing areas, and the food in his hands is like mountains and seas. The girlfriend Kaoyi who is next to William alone has a pile of food. A demiplane full of all kinds of frozen meat, and the launch of the magic net just made these frozen meat see the light of day again.

You can drink as much as you want!Big chunks of meat!Even the elves can't bear this kind of test that directly hits the soul!

Did not say!Do it!Brothers and sisters of Sid Ryan!

A batch of food, mainly frozen beef, was transported into the depths of Comanthor through the elf trail, and then more elves walked out of the jungle and came to William.

William was absolutely unambiguous about making sure his subordinates had enough to eat.

If you don't keep people fed, why do they work hard with you?

Speaking of workers, elves are definitely more dedicated than humans.In just half a month's raid on the ruins of Yulas, at least a dozen elf adventurers died in the ruins of Yulas, and they also cleared out a large safe area accordingly.

But humans are relatively conservative in this area.

The "cunning" humans were injured a lot, but almost none of them actually died, and with more people participating in the battle than the elves, the effective safe zone they cleared was even less than half of the elves.

The work efficiency is very poor! ! !

In this regard, William had to personally come forward to make special adjustments to this gap in work efficiency.

The twenty-seventh and fifth chapters are always popular

At this time, the number of elf adventurers gathered in the camp outside the ruins of Yuras has exceeded 100.

This is a very large number, a hundred elf warriors who are fighting right now are enough to occupy as much as one-tenth of the standing army of the Cormanthor elves.

When there are more people, things will come.

If there are too many elves, then they will be divided into ranks. High-ranking elves are nobles, low-ranking elves are commoners, and there are even less status elves' illegitimate children and half-elves. Everyone has to talk about family background, talk about qualifications, and line up. Respect.

strength?I'm sorry, but for the elves, strength is like the bad grades of the masters. As long as I think about it, I can have it. The key is whether or not I think about it.

This is a common problem of longevity species, strength can be exchanged through time, and the most important thing for longevity species is time.If you think about the strategic retreat of the elves for hundreds of years, you can understand how much the elves care about time.

The population of elves was small, and more than a dozen heads were given away in just ten days. In the final analysis, it was the elves' class suppression that caused trouble. After all, most of the dead were half-elves and illegitimate children of elves with relatively low status.

The elves are not sorry for themselves, but William is a little bit impatient.

Nima!I hired you to work as a labor force, not to open a crematorium to deliver snacks to monsters.

Originally, William handed over the management of the elf adventurers to his elf follower, Emily Corona. At the beginning, the elf chick managed it well. After all, the Cormanthor family is also well-known among the Cormanthor elves. Yes, the elven adventurers from the Tangled Tree still gave her face.

It was only when the first batch of food was sent into the depths of the jungle that the situation changed.

The three major elf gathering areas, the Elven King's Court, Cyberholm, and the Tree of Tangle, who is not counting rice grains to live a tight life.

How to obtain food has almost become the biggest obsession in the hearts of all elves with brains.

When thousands of pounds of oats and frozen beef were being transported through the jungle trails, every elf who saw this grain transport team wanted to rob it directly.

Of course, the adventurers from the Tangled Tree are not fools, they are well aware of the virtues of those of the same race in the next city.

Elves with their pomp and elegance are interesting, and when they want something badly, they will buy and sell it in exchange.

For example, the elves need food, and you are waiting for the rice to cook, they will forcefully snatch the rice from your hand, and then give you a luxurious crystal wine glass as compensation. Calculated according to the normal item price, you will make a lot of money. But you are starved to death.

Therefore, the adventurers of the Tangled Tree prepared enough pack horses in advance, and before all the jungle residents could react, they rushed back to the Tangled Tree with a nearly hurricane dash.

The food was delivered to the destination smoothly, making the residents of the Tangled Tree heal a mouthful of blood, and the origin of the food was also spread.

So the elves at the other two gathering points also moved their minds, and they also sent adventurers to work for William, but the rewards earned by the work were also monopolized by these latecomers, because these late elf adventurers had Unusual background.

For example, a male druid from the Kailanda family from the Elven King's Court. The Kailanda family is the controller of the Elven King's Court and a famous family among the Sun Elf.

The representatives of the adventurers from Cyberholm also came from prominent backgrounds, and they all wanted to control the reward paid by William in their own hands, and tried to gain a dominant position in the entire adventure team.

And the unlucky ones in this open and secret struggle are those who have no decision-making power, the lowest status, elf bastards and half-elf adventurers, who have become poor victims.

Obviously, with Emily's status and ability, she couldn't settle the elf adventurer caught in the battle.

William met with a druid from House Kelanda, a ranger from the Moonbow family of Cyberholm, and the adventurer leader Nemoen Brigeng from the Tangled Tree.
