The Swordsman of Faerûn

William put out a lot of talk, but still couldn't avoid doing the work himself.The one who freed him from the scheduling was none other than Xillen who had just flown over in the form of a silver dragon.

There is one thing to say, Hellen is not only good-looking and strong enough to fight, but also top-notch in the world in terms of government affairs handling. Even Alustri, who is in charge of Silvermoon City, is slightly inferior to his elder sister in this respect.

William left a not-so-bad mess in the plowing valley, but Hillen took care of it smoothly in just a month or so, and the rest was just step-by-step work.

Ms. Yinlong sat in Genggu Town for a while, and soon became bored. In the end, she left the rest of the work to the temporary clerk, and then ran away with a bucket.

Shiron's excuse for running away was very reasonable. When she saw William, the first words she said were: "William, help me. Those dragons are still chasing me!"

The first acquaintance between William and Hellen came from the pursuit of the evil dragon Shuoying. Although he suspected that the woman was too suspicious, he couldn't ignore it anyway.

Since then, Hellen stayed by William's side and became another of his personal female secretaries.

Of course, it wasn’t William himself that made Hellen feel most at ease, but the big toy he lent to Hellen—the Gundam No. [-] Golem Mech, a huge structure made of fire copper steel and obsidian. .

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

More is beautiful, and bigger is better. Even the multi-turret God Cult with riveted steamed steel has to sacrifice its absolutely loyal knees in front of the huge golem nearly 40 meters high.

Shiron may not have been a multi-turret cultist, but her cult of colossal creations was equally incomprehensibly fanatical.

Helen, who just arrived, is very clingy, and has been using insecurity as an excuse.

William felt too much trouble from the women around him. In desperation, he could only use a trick of borrowing things to replace him. He used his honorary golem mecha from the world of flames as Hellen's amulet. Of course, he clearly stated that this was only seconded. .

The first time Hillen saw the super golem mecha, he left all his troubles and problems behind him.

man?How can a man have a big machine to have fun!This big baby is in the hands of the old lady, and it belongs to the Yinshou family!

What?You say this is just a temporary loan?Then the old lady will temporarily borrow 1000 years!

Every day, Shiron would wear the control suit specially designed for driving the Golem Mech, and sit under the toes of the Golem Mech to handle official duties.

Little scumbag adventurers, tremble and be afraid in front of the old lady's car, and then offer the most sincere envy, jealousy and hatred to look up!Hahaha!

Of course, if anyone dared to touch the mech with his hands, Helen would definitely jump up first, and smash that daring defiler with a big fireball into scum.

At the beginning, it was as deep as the sea, and Weilang has been a passerby since then.

In this regard, William can only say that the saying "distance produces beauty" is really in line with human nature.At least he thinks Xilen who is obsessed with big machine tyrants is a hundred times more attractive than Xilen who is obsessive.

Now William is leading a team to explore the ruins of Yulas.

It is said that with the large increase in manpower, the cemetery of the dead that once troubled William's subordinates has become a thing of the past.

However, those Cultists of the Undead who were once hidden deep in the cemetery were not completely killed, and a small part of the elite of the Undead fled deeper into the ruins.

Moreover, the cemetery of the dead has not become harmless, not to mention the undead monsters that may gather at any time, as long as someone or monster revives the undead in the ruins of Yulas city, as long as the control of these undead creatures is broken, they will be destroyed. They will instinctively gather at the cemetery of the dead.

In a sense, those demons hidden deep in the ruins only need to keep resuscitating the undead, and then release them directly, so that they can continue to bring a steady stream of troubles to William and his group.

Although this method of harassment was a bit inefficient, it was safe enough, especially after William hammered down the six-headed black knight, all the undead monsters with brains thought it was worth it.

Undead monsters are not really immortal, let alone those without brains, but undead monsters with brains are even more afraid of death than the living, and more afraid of death.

Therefore, the task of cleaning up the undead in the cemetery of the dead has almost become a daily task every day.

Another dangerous place in the cemetery of the dead is that there is an almost dungeon-like cellar underground, which was once the altar used by the Lord of Bones to place the crown of the horned artifact.

It was in this cellar that the former Witch of the North, Lyra Silverhand, was murdered.Although the witch and the crown of horns have long since become a thing of the past, part of the power of the Lord of Bones has remained here and never dissipated.

Under the effect of this dark divine power, every other cycle, a powerful undead family member will be resurrected in the cellar.It may be black knights, higher skeletons (crawling claws, burning bones, dragon minions, etc.), lesser reapers, zombie generals, etc. Unless these monsters are controlled by higher-level undead creatures or cultists of the dead, they will Instinctively hunt and kill all living creatures around.

Before the magic net is restored, except for the William family, it is difficult for adventurers to easily deal with the powerful undead monsters emerging from the cellar, but now that there is magic to rely on, as long as a team of adventurers The configuration is not too bad, but it can easily deal with these undead monsters who have completely lost their advantage in numbers.

Now William is enjoying the fun of adventure. Although the fighting process is quite boring to him, William still likes to participate, because he has finally experienced the joy of touching the blind box.

No one can tell how many kinds of monsters there are in Faerun. Every time William and his adventure team enter a ruined building, they can almost encounter some different strange or familiar monsters.

In fact, it was William's family members who laughed the happiest, Phinea, Misha, Miluna, and Selur. They almost regarded the action of adventure and clearing monsters as a real game, and never worried about it. through the dangers.

It's not that the girls are big-hearted, it's that their equipment is really superior. Whenever they face monsters that only rely on their minions' talents to output, it always gives people the illusion of killing prisoners with cannons.

Even if a monster beyond the capabilities of a few people does appear, William, who is in charge of fighting soy sauce, will "kindly" let the monster comprehend the truth obediently. Playing a clown is actually a very good life-saving technique.

Beholder Kagal is such a monster leader who has a deep understanding of the truth.

In the cognition of most adventurers, beholders can be said to be the deadliest of all powerful aberrant races, and the most deformed in appearance.

The beholder Kajal is a special case, unlike its brethren with wrinkled skin, ferocious eyeballs and twisted tentacles covered with eyeballs, the beholder Gajal's skin is covered with fine silver scales, smooth and Glossy, its main eye is like a mass of dark blue crystal, with a pair of flesh-colored tentacles on top of its head, and a pair of watery Kazilan big eyes at the end of the tentacles.

And under the drop-shaped main body of Kagal, there are four jade-white beards. These beards can not only make it walk like a normal quadruped or two-legged beast, but also bend like an arm and use tools. .

No creature who has seen Kajall would think it is the same kind as those twisted beholders, just like the cover girl on a third-page pictorial and the mutant licker in Resident Evil, no one would think that they would be the same kind .

In fact, the appearance of Kagal is the original form of the beholder, and the original name of its race is not called beholder, but Argos, which means the all-seeing one.

It's just that in the beholder's hometown, a terrible crisis swept the entire world of Argos, and the twisted and indescribable pollution polluted most of the beholders, including those beholders who tried to escape to the planes in spaceships, but failed. Get rid of this inescapable pollution.

From the supreme mistress of the beholder population to the lowest newborn beholder, almost all of them are distorted by indescribable pollution and mutated into the most terrifying monsters in the world.

Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, and not all beholders can resist this kind of twisted pollution. Among the billions of beholders all over the planes, there are always some special individuals who have mutated the talent to be immune to indescribable pollution.

These unique atavistic individuals such as Kajar are not only beautiful and pleasing to the eye, but their minds are not as cruel and vicious as their ugly counterparts. Of course, this does not mean that the beholder Karjall is weak.

The so-called whitewashing is three times weaker and black talk is three times stronger, which is a misunderstanding based on the premise of lack of knowledge.The advantage of beholders is that they are born with a strong innate memory inherited from their ancestors, which is quite similar to the aboleth.

Most ugly beholders neglect the excavation of innate memories from their ancestors because they indulge in too strong desires (including eating, killing, torture, and the desire for dominance) and complex and changeable emotions. They can still be terrifyingly powerful monsters.

And those few beholders who have interpreted the memories of their ancestors will mutate into more terrifying existences, such as the beholder tyrant, the eyes of the elders, the eyes of the hive mother, and so on.

However, an existence similar to the original beholder like Kagal can freely explore and develop innate memories. The countless ancient knowledge from the beholder's hometown is enough to make it grow into a powerful existence comparable to gods (half gods) , of course this requires sufficient time and a large supply of resources.

It's just that these beholders who have returned to their ancestors by chance are generally difficult to grow up, not to mention the threat from the beholder's mother-all beholders think that they are the most powerful and perfect beholders, and they will kill anyone Individuals that differ in appearance from their own are viewed as poor imitations, and attempt to kill each other.

The greater the difference in appearance between two beholders, the greater the degree of hatred after meeting, including between mother and child.If the appearance of a newborn beholder is completely different from that of its mother, then the beholder mother will not hesitate to kill the alien offspring, even if the offspring is an atavistic native beholder.

Kargal's luck was that when it was about to be born, its mother encountered a terrible confrontation, and another beholder severely injured Kargal's mother, and when Kargal was born, the enraged beholder mother was powerless to kill him.

The newborn Kajar was smart enough, and it ran away vigilantly before the beholder mother regained her ability to move, instead of remaining instinctively attached to her mother like the cubs of creatures of other races.

Another lucky thing about Kagall is that, apart from its mother, no other beholders know that there is a primordial eye roaming the land, so that it has no more enemies than a beholder mother. Twisted beholders hunted it down.

Kagal was undoubtedly fragile in his childhood. Apart from his natural invisibility ability, he only had some psychic powers and crappy illusions.

However, with the growth of age, the strength of the true beauty ceiling in this beholder has been rapidly improved. Now it is hiding in the ruins of Yulas, controlling a group of powerful people including hobgoblins, minotaurs, and owl bears. The minions, including the monster, are just to fight against the beholder mother who is diligently seeking to kill it.

Thanks to the Goddess of Magic, whose act of unplugging the network cable has brought the beholder mother's control over her minions and slaves to almost the lowest point, while Kagal's control over her minions is not the same, which makes it in the past few months. The Demon Mother has always had an advantage in the war.

Even though the link to the magic net has been restored, with the advantages accumulated in the past, Kagal can still suppress the offensive of the servants and slaves from the beholder mother.

It's just that Kagal is very clear that this temporary advantage will not last long.Because compared to the beholder mother's alliance with another erect ape creature, it is difficult for her to fight against it alone.If nothing else, Kagal's fate is basically doomed.

It wasn't until a group of strange upright ape creatures showed up at Kagal's hiding place that the native beholder had a glimpse of a chance to turn his fortunes around.

Unlike serious beholders who control servants and slaves through supernatural power and cruel violence, Kagal's control of his subordinates is more out of belief communication and benefit compensation, which also makes Kagal's servants sometimes not very obedient. Of course, the subjective initiative is also stronger.

Therefore, although Kagal's behavior style is relatively rough, its servants often bring it some unexpected troubles.

For example, a dragon-veined hobgoblin that Kagal had just subdued not long ago provoked trouble for the new owner.

The dragon-veined hobgoblin is a very rare type of hobgoblin. It is said that only in those unique goblin plane countries where hobgoblins have established powerful kingdoms can such natural hobgoblin warlocks be born.

York, a dragonborn hobgoblin, a natural red dragon warlock, when William and his party appeared on a street corner not far from the ruined building where the beholder Kagal was hiding, he suddenly threw a veil at the youngest girl among them from a distance. A dragon's breath fireball was shot.

There is no doubt about the damage caused by the dragon's breath fireball. If William was not present, it would be very difficult for the girls and women to survive the attack unscathed.

Fortunately, William's fire control ability was strong enough to make the dragon's breath fireball explode before hitting the target.But the scorching flame shock wave still made every girl look bleak, and Miluna's loyal dog, Anadol, was almost scared to death.

After a while of fear, everyone was involuntarily angry. They chased the attacker and rushed into the beholder Kargal's lair, a building area that used to be the Yulas military camp.

The former military barracks building was almost one of the strongest fortresses in the city of Yuras, second only to the lord's castle and the former Great Temple of the God of War, which are still used by the garrison sentries of Zhentil Castle.

Of course, the military barracks building was also the most severely damaged building in the war that the city fell that year. Most of the defense facilities were almost demolished by the former occupying forces.

But the building is still a reliable enough lair, assuming someone can fix it, of course.

And Kargall and his minions were able to do just that.

Kagal has brains, and its servants have strong hands-on ability. The combination of the two has produced surprising creativity.

They dismantled many ruined buildings that were still in good condition, obtained suitable building materials from them to repair the barracks, and even Kagar made many Argos creations and placed them in important positions in the barracks based on the knowledge in his innate memory. Turn the entire barracks building into a monster room that is almost like a war machine.

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

The reason why Kajar's fortress is so strong is to fight against its mad mother, the quasi-beholder tyrant who is about to advance.

What Kagal didn't expect was that it wasn't its beholder mother who really broke through its fortress, but a group of two-legged upright apes.

William also looked at the beholder's monster room with cautious eyes. The fence made of steel and rock was covered with various barbs and poisonous thorns. Only a wooden gate seemed to be the easiest breakthrough point.

But this does not mean that the wooden gate is so easy to break through. The gate is like several logs growing together naturally, and they are tightly combined with each other.

When Phineya struck the gate with an axe, she could only chop off a piece of wood the size of a palm, which meant that the wooden gate was even harder than steel.

But this didn't stop the girls' furious footsteps. Misha'er swung her sub-artifact small scepter, and hit the wooden door hard. The violent tremor made the wooden door vibrate as if it came alive.

Misha'er hit the door hard again, the vibration enough to break rocks and crack jade shook the foundation of the wooden door, only the sound of crackling and breaking came out from the door panel, as if countless branches and trunks were breaking and breaking.

Misha'er struck the wooden door for the third time, but this time it was only a light knock, and she saw that the thick wooden door, which was almost as thick as a city wall, suddenly collapsed into countless pieces of wood and debris, covering the entire front and back of the door.

The door of the monster room was opened, and it was time to rush into the Liting to sweep the hole. However, as the vanguards, Phiniya and Misha'er did not rush in desperately, but looked back at the real backbone. Son William glanced.

William hesitated for a moment, because he already sensed that something was wrong. The monster who sneaked up earlier seemed to be deliberately luring them here, and no matter how you looked at it, there was a bit of conspiracy in it.

After thinking about it for a while, William nodded in response, but he pointed to his eyes and shook three fingers to remind everyone to proceed with caution.

The girls were giggling, and Phineya wiped her neck with the palm of the golden gauntlet, and a nearly airtight helmet appeared on her forehead, completely covering it.

Misha'er picked out a small rattan shield from her small satchel as an extra armor for body protection; while Selur obediently pulled out a silver-gray cloak from her small purse to put on her body, and then Her figure became obscured.

Miluna looked around in a little confusion, and after a while she suddenly realized that she straightened the small horned helmet on her forehead, took out a small silk waistcoat to wear on her body, and smiled triumphantly.

As for Anadol, he blessed himself with a [Mage Armor] spell, and then blessed everyone except William with a [Protective Arrow] spell.

You asked why Anador did not bless William with protective spells. Sorry, due to the scarcity of spell slots, Anador needs to use limited spells on those who really need it.

William is a person who can catch arrows with his bare hands with his eyes closed. Anadol believes that using [Protective Arrows] on him is purely a waste, and the first requirement of the Goddess of Magic for her priests is: to love magic itself, and understand and use it sparingly as much as possible.

Therefore, as a devout follower of the goddess of magic, Anadol naturally would not waste useless magic on William.

When a group of people passed through the gate and formally entered the monster room, William vaguely heard a faint roar of a dragon coming from a distance.

William looked up at the sky, a faint sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then followed into the monster room fortress without looking back.

In fact, not only William, but most people in the ruins of Yulas soon heard the roar of the giant dragon. Except for a few people who knew the dragon language, no one knew the true meaning of the roar of the dragon.

Xillen had just sent away a wave of adventurers who had come to pick up the quest, and then she heard the roar of the giant dragon, but her face changed suddenly, and she stared at the sky angrily.

Then the silver-haired lady uttered a word of dragon, and then her body began to elongate extremely rapidly, and soon changed from a human woman of medium height to a dark silver dragon thirty feet in length.

The giant dragon transformed by Xillen roared up to the sky, then circled around the huge golem mech again, and then the giant dragon jumped up, but rushed to the sky like an arrow leaving the string.

The silver dragon's flying speed was extremely fast, breaking through the sound barrier almost instantly, leaving a series of deafening thunder behind her.

In air combat, speed is king.

Even dragons are no exception, and a dragon that can fly faster will always have an advantage in air combat.

Compared with before, the silver dragon transformed by Hieron has not only become more slender, but also stronger in all aspects.

If it was in the past, she would never have foolishly fought a melee fight with a real brand of dragon, it would be to use her personal hobbies to challenge people's ability to eat.

The giant dragon's eyesight is even better than that of hawks and other raptors, so the silver dragon Hiron immediately spotted the provocative strange giant dragon, an adult red dragon, after leaping into the sky.

Xi Lun is very clear that even if her ability in the form of a silver dragon is not what it used to be, it would be a disadvantage to really fight against a real dragon, not to mention that she is facing the double bonus red stick among the dragons— -Red Dragon.

Red dragons are the most brutal, greedy, and proud of the five-color dragons. They are also the most powerful in melee combat among the five-color dragons. Among the regular metal dragons, only gold dragons can compete with them. downwind.

However, the dragon's resistance to spells almost makes most spellcasters (including the dragon itself) feel desperate, so the battle between dragons is often based on melee combat as the main method.

Facing the red dragon, Xillen would not even think that he has the ability to defeat the opponent with claws and teeth, unless the red dragon is young enough.

The silver dragon raised its flying speed to the extreme, and charged towards the direction of the red dragon.

Regarding Xillen's "brainless" behavior, the red dragon that suddenly appeared was overjoyed.In fact, except for the taboos of dignity and ethics, the dragons never worry about the impact of individuals from other races turning into dragons on the dragon itself.

To give a very simple example, if a person has the ability to become a dog, after the person becomes a dog and fights with a real dog, you are sure that you can bite the real dog better.

The same principle applies to the giant dragon as well.

The two giant dragons, one silver and one red, shortened the distance to less than a kilometer in the blink of an eye, and this distance was already regarded as the inner circle of dragon air combat.

Just when the red dragon breathed in and prepared to deal with the collision with the silver dragon, the silver dragon jumped up, passed the red dragon's head, and rushed to a higher altitude again.
