The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 28 Strange Girl

The sky in Faerun is very strange. It was still starry and dark before, but now there is a faint first-quarter moon. William re-wrapped the fur coat that wrapped Xiaomi Luna, and carried the unsheathed autumn water broken dream on the back of the knife. Walk on the moon.William's physical strength has not yet fully recovered. He walked on the snow with one deep foot and one shallow foot. The little guy in his arms was very quiet, and his narrow chin followed William's footsteps bit by bit. This was her own. A little fun.

The siege of ghosts was definitely an extremely dangerous battle for William. If he hadn't been lucky enough to enter the black and white world again, he might have died under the soul attack of those ghosts.However, the greater the danger, the greater the reward. This time William not only experienced the world of black and white again, but also took this opportunity to devour a large number of souls, and learned a unique trick - [Soul Storm], he also discovered the broken autumn water A new ability of Meng, when attacking the soul body, it can absorb some strange energy to the knife holder.

What William finds most incredible is the little guy in his arms. Her soul is very strange, and it seems to contain terrifying power. William, who is in the black and white world, has a desire to devour almost any soul body, but he is interested in honey. Luna's soul was not at all interested, and even felt a little scared.

A strong smell of corpses came, and the little guy in his arms was immediately disgusted by the smell. William was also choked by the smell. When he looked up, there were more than a dozen pairs of fiery red spots in front of him. They slowly gathered around.When he got closer, William discovered that the so-called light spots were the eyes of a group of humanoid creatures. These crawling or walking monsters looked evil and terrifying, and exuded a disgusting smell of rotting corpses.

William frowned tightly, mother, what kind of monster is this, why is it so disgusting?At this time, he didn't want to go back with the stench of corpses all over him. William took a deep breath, his consciousness vibrated from his abdomen, and an invisible ripple spread around with the sound - [Soul Storm].

The monsters couldn't resist the attack aimed at the soul at all, and they all howled and fell down on the snowy ground, their eyes that were originally as hot as coals gradually turned dim, and they were all wiped out with one blow.The monster blocking the way was gone, and William left the scene with Miluna as if fleeing. He really didn't want to stay in that stinking place for a long time.

Fortunately, there were no monsters to disturb the rest of the journey, and William soon returned to the abandoned lumberyard. At this time, Finia had already fallen asleep, and Yasuna coaxed the drowsy As for Elm, Misha, he has been knocked unconscious by the chief of the impatient frost giantess.

When William knocked on the door and walked in, Misha immediately lost sleepiness, jumped up and jumped in front of William: "William, William! Misha has been waiting for you! I want to hear a story, I want Listening to the story of knights and dragons, Yasuna told it very well."

William put down his saber, reached out and patted Misha'er on the head, and said, "Don't worry, let brother catch his breath first. Yasuna, wake up Mr. Elm. I brought Xiaomi Luna." As he spoke, he put the little girl in his arms on the ground, and lifted off the winter wolf fur that was wrapped around her.

A little girl with black hair and black pupils was about the same size as Misha'er, but she was much thinner. Her eyes were big, and she seemed a little shy to be stared at by everyone. She dodged behind William, but happened to see the lying Elm remained motionless on the wooden bed.

Xiaomi Luna ran to the bed with small steps and gently shook Elm's intact arm, yelling "Yiyi Yaya" in her mouth, but there was no sign of fluctuation in her eyes. She is really a strange person. child.William stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Meluna, Elm just fell asleep." The little guy turned a deaf ear to it, and William reached out and patted Elm on the shoulder, but the other party didn't move. Mu's pulse, and glanced back at Yasuna.

Yasuna spread her palms and said indifferently: "This guy is too noisy. He insisted on going to you. I have to let him be quiet for a while!"

William sighed, and lightly pressed his thumb on Elm's neck a few times. Elm woke up quietly from his lethargy, and saw the little girl standing by the bed at the first sight: "Xiao Milu Na? Oh, my child, my darling! Old Elm thought he would never see you again, I can't think of it, really can't think of it?" The little guy looked at Elm who woke up, with a happy expression on his face It looks like there are more "babbling" sounds.

Elm looked up at William and said excitedly, "Mr. William, thank you very much for your help. I really..."

William said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just a little effort."

Elm looked at William's neat clothes, and couldn't help asking: "How does Mr. William know that there is a 'Blessing of the Scarab' in my house?"

William froze for a moment, and said, "The protection of the scarab? What is that?"

Elm saw that William's appearance did not seem to be fake, so he asked a little uncertainly: "Then how did you get back? Did you encounter any trouble on the way?"

William stared at Elm for a while, and then slowly said: "I have encountered a lot of troubles, but the problems are not serious. Some strange things attacked us, and I repelled them in the end."

Elm looked at William in shock, and was speechless for a long time, before finally admiring: "Mr. William is so powerful, he must be a great big man! Also, only a strong man like you can do it easily." kill the cruel jackal."

Xiaomi Luna bit her finger and looked quietly at Elm, who was only talking to William, but William noticed the little guy's appearance, and he turned his head and said, "Yasuna! Prepare a big meal, this time The little guy looks famished."

Yasuna said reluctantly, "We've already eaten, so it's a waste to be alone with her."

William smiled and said, "Don't forget I haven't eaten yet, get ready, hey! Hurry up, you are such a lazy bitch."

Seeing that Yasuna was about to cast a spell, Elm who was sitting on the wooden bed couldn't help asking: "Wait, who are you?"

Misha'er, who has been staring at Miluna from the side, said cheerfully: "It's a delicious feast, hehe, Misha'er likes 'bubble' the most, it's much more delicious than the cheese just now."

Elm said: "Magic banquet? No, no, Xiaomi Luna can't eat any food summoned by magic, she can only eat real food."

"Oh?" William said, "If this is the case, forget it. Yasuna, please stop. Misha, go and get some of your cheese."

Misha'er responded with a cry and ran to her room, ran to the door and turned around and asked, "Do you want 'Honey Tiantian'? It's delicious!"

Chapter 29 Strange Girl

Xiaomi Luna was lying on the plate and devouring the cheese. Next to her was Xiaomi Sha'er holding a large sterling silver cup. It was the "Honey Sweet" originally prepared by William for the little girl. Of course, there was a comparison The popular name is blue lettuce with honey.Although Misha'er contributed her "ration" very "loyalty", she couldn't help taking a few sips secretly from time to time, and then looked at Xiaomi Luna with a guilty conscience.

Although Misha'er's little trick made people laugh, William felt a sour feeling in his heart. If he hadn't appeared, Misha'er's situation would definitely be worse than the little girl in front of him.

With enough juice and food, William arranged the little girls on the same bed, and the two little ones who were equally depressed fell asleep after a while.William told Elm and Yasuna what happened along the way. Of course, he didn't say anything about his mutation, but only vaguely said that he had a range of spells.

Yasuna said in surprise, "It's ghosts and ghouls. How did you come across these monsters?"

William smiled slightly and said, "This question has to be asked to Mr. Elm. Mr. Elm, do you have anything to explain about this matter?"

Elm sighed and said: "There is nothing to hide about this matter, even if I don't tell you, you will know in the future."

William said: "Well, although I already have a little guess, I think it's better for you to say it."

"Xiaomi Luna is an unfortunate child. She was born unable to speak or hear. If it didn't seem that her observation ability is fine, I even suspect that her eyes are also abnormal. For an ordinary girl, it is only These problems are enough to make it difficult for her to survive in this terrible world, but Xiaomi Luna has an even more terrifying congenital defect. Xiaomi Luna's body emits a strange energy, which is harmful to All negative energy monsters and magical creatures are extremely attractive, and she will always be the bait of these deadly monsters if she is unguarded." Elm, who was speaking, showed a kind of extreme sadness and pain on his face.

"Xiao Mi Luna's parents died because of this, and then countless lives and villages were destroyed on it, until...until Lord Elminster learned of this, he will be still very young at the time. The young Xiaomi Luna was sent here, and left a protective pendant to isolate the little guy's breath, but it has been peaceful for several years. However, with the growth of age, the special body of Xiaomi Luna The breath is getting stronger and stronger, and the protective ability of the body armor pendant is getting weaker and weaker."

"I was in a hurry earlier and forgot to tell Mr. William about the bodyguard hanger. I'm really sorry. I really didn't expect that you are so powerful that you can easily wipe out groups of ghosts and ghouls." Here Elm said A look of admiration and excitement appeared on his face at the right time.

A sneer appeared on William's face, and he said, "After talking so much nonsense, it's time to talk about your real purpose!"

Elm said a little impressively: "I don't have the power of Mr. William. It has been more and more difficult to protect Xiaomi Luna all the time, and now I'm missing an arm... Sigh! I only hope that Xiaomi Luna Na can live here for a while, and when I arrange everything, I will find a special adventurer to escort her to leave this place and go to Arabel, a city in the eastern Cormyr region."

William said: "You want me to keep this little guy who looks like a monster caller by my side? Hehe, Elm, do you think I'm so stupid?"

Elm hurriedly said: "Mr. William, please don't worry, with the 'Blessing of the Scarab' by your side, Xiaomi Luna will at most attract three or five ghosts and other negative energy monsters on the night of the full moon. To you, it’s just a matter of waving your hand, tomorrow I’ll send the ‘Scarab’s Blessing’ over, please, Mr. William!”

In the middle of the night, William was lying on the bed with Yasuna in his arms. He sighed and said, "If my guess is correct, these are probably Xieren's hands and feet."

Yasuna lazily rubbed her face on William's chest, and said a little surprised: "If that's the case, then why did you agree to Elm? Isn't this just asking for trouble?"

William said: "With Xiron's heart, sacrificing a mere little girl is nothing at all. After all, that child is innocent. No matter what, I can't just let it die. What's more, I also need the little guy's help. Attract those so-called ghosts."

Yasuna curled her lips and said, "I really don't know what you are thinking, do you want to be a pitiful paladin?"

"Paladin?" William said with a slight smile, "Hehe, that's a good name, it sounds pleasing to the ear."

Yasuna said coldly: "You're lying! I think you can't bear that bitch Helen!"

William scratched the bridge of his nose, and said, "Speaking of Helen, I'm a little puzzled, where did she get all her thoughts to keep plotting against me?"

Yasuna pretended to be dismissive: "What's the matter, if you live for five or six hundred years, you may be better at calculating people than her!"

William smiled wryly, "You don't have to remind me every time that Hillen is an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years."

At this time, in Misha'er's room, the sleeping Miluna involuntarily leaned towards Misha'er wearing the horn of Cole, as if it was the safest place.The little girl in her sleep (or the spirit of Cole's Corner) obviously didn't want to let this outsider get close. She uncontrollably raised her little feet and put them on Xiaomi Luna's face to isolate her. ...

When they woke up the next day, the two little girls who had been tossing in their sleep all night suddenly found that they had become entangled into a human-shaped rice dumpling.

While having breakfast, William accidentally noticed that the two little guys were yawning again and again, as if they were still awake. He frowned and said, "What's wrong with you two, haven't you woken up? No, go back to sleep for a while!"

Misha pulled her eyelids and said weakly: "No, she always harass Misha in her dreams, Misha don't sleep with her!" But Xiaomi Luna ran to Misha with a smile on her face , hugged each other hard, and then muttered "babbling".

William smiled and said, "It seems that this child likes you very much, Misha."

Misha'er pressed her small head against Miluna's nose and said, "Unless you don't trouble Miluna in your dreams, if you agree, Misha'er can allow you to hug the cat." But the little guy hugged Mi Sha'er's little face and "bajibaji" kissed several times, which made Misha'er very angry.

Chapter 30 No Peace

Elm returned to his grocery store the next day, except for finding time to deliver the so-called scarab protection, he seldom showed his face in front of William and the others.Since then, there has been an additional resident in the lumber house, Xiaomi Luna, this little guy who is always afraid of meeting strangers, seems to like to get together with Misha by nature, playing, eating, sleeping, and the two Individuals are inseparably entangled every day.

A few wandering and lost people finally obtained a rare peaceful life. After the routine practice every day, William would patrol the nearby mountains and forests to remove monsters and beasts that might be threatening (to the little girl).As a result, the nearby goblins, ogres, and some larger beasts were devastated, and most of them were wiped out by William. Only a few lucky ones who saw the opportunity quickly escaped from this place.

Thanks to William's blessing, the law and order environment in the entire eastern part of Silvermoon City has been cleared up, and all the monsters who used to rob houses nearby have disappeared.However, William's unscrupulous suppression behavior also annoyed another group of beings - the druids of Silvermoon City. The death of a large number of wild animals (mainly wolves, bears, leopards and other carnivores) made them very angry.

In wild nature, Druids claim to be committed to protecting the balance of nature and maintaining ecological stability.They form groups to purify diseased creatures, fight against abnormal undead and strange monsters, and prevent people from logging, burning forests, and building roads.The unconventional organization established by these 'one in balance' guys is called the Druid Circle.

During dinner, a sudden knock on the door interrupted the eating of several people. Finia opened the door, and a guy covered in unknown vines barged in. This guy was wearing a grass skirt in the cold weather. As soon as the pretending guy came in, he said to himself in an arrogant tone: "The destroyer of the forest, the killer of life, I only declare in the name of the god of nature, Sivanus, that you must leave here before sunrise tomorrow, otherwise you will be killed." Will bear the wrath of the Father of the Forest!"

In the cold room, several people stared dumbfounded at this "crazy" who suddenly broke in. Where did this lunatic come from?But this inexplicable druid was very satisfied with the shocking effect he had caused. He proudly put on his vine outfit, and murmured as if no one else was there: "What a bunch of uneducated and rude guys! Even praying to the gods before eating I don’t know, oh! Look at what you eat, extravagant! Extravagant! Totally... ah——!”

William knocked the druid who didn't even know [Heroes Banquet] to the ground with an empty plate, and said nonchalantly, "Finia, throw this bastard out, and the others continue to eat." Ya grabbed Druid by the hair and dragged him towards the door like a dead dog.

The Druid struggled and shouted: "No! You can't do this to me, you can't do this to me, I am... ahhh!"

But it was the impatient Finia who punched him on the bridge of the nose: "Shut up! You bastard, you are wasting my time eating turkey!" Then he threw the poor guy with peach blossoms covering his face. go outside. (The turkey in [Heroes Feast] refers to a kind of Andean flamingo that lives in the elemental plane of fire all the year round. Although this kind of Andean flamingo nests in the elemental plane of fire, it often goes in and out of the frosty place to wait for some ice The plane hunts cold creatures.)

Without the spoiler, Misha'er continued the small game with Miluna. After more than a month, the little guy has completely lost the restraint at the beginning, and here she can play and fight with Misha'er freely. It's just that Xiaomi Luna always has a rather troublesome problem, she can't eat those magically made foods, especially they look very delicious.

The little guy stared straight at the feast on the luxurious table with his big eyes, fiddling with the cheese on his plate time after time.Misha'er picked out a crystal fish roe the size of a walnut and brought it to her face with a smile: "Miluna, the awesome 'Bright Bubble', do you want to try it?"

"Yeah!" Miruna's eyes lit up, she hesitated for a moment, and then opened her small mouth to bite, not expecting that Misha'er had quickly stuffed the fish roe into her mouth.

"Oh! It's really delicious, Miluna, hehehe!"

"Yeah! Eeeeeee! Eeeeeah—!" Well, Miluna got angry.

William finally knew why Xiaomi Luna couldn't eat magic food, because for ordinary people, it was a terrible disaster.Even with the blessing and protection of the scarab, William and the others could still feel a weird energy fluctuation appearing on the little guy who was teasing the cat and cat bug, and the amplitude of the fluctuation was getting bigger and bigger.

Yasuna said in horror: "William, look outside, my God, the gods are above! Is this a natural disaster of the undead?"

Countless ghosts, shadows, and resentful souls are flying and circling in the sky, among them are even two huge black bat-like monsters, they are constantly walking between the sky and the ground, trying to find out where the bait is.Although these monsters were lured by Miluna, none of the dead souls approached the lumberyard, as if something had shielded the place.

William glanced at Xiaomi Luna, the little guy didn't have any strange looks at this time, but the entanglement with Xiaomi Luna became even tighter.At this moment, William suddenly realized that it was Cole's horn that was protecting this place. No wonder this child always liked to be with Misha.

At this time, several roars suddenly came from the jungle outside: "Damn! What are these things?" "I hate ghosts, Emily Ludes..." "Oh my god! It's Night Shadow, Flying Wing Ye Ying! We are going to die, I don't want to die yet!..."

Yasuna and Finia held their weapons tightly: "William, are we..." Yasuna asked a little uncertainly.

William stared outside for a while, and said, "Forget it, we shouldn't care about those, let them go." It wasn't that William didn't want to save people, he really didn't want to take risks.

After getting familiar with it for a period of time, William found that his newly created [Soul Storm] was not perfect, it was a large-scale indiscriminate attack skill, as long as it was within the attack range, no one could be spared except himself.Of course, Meluna is an exception. Her unique soul makes her ignore the supernatural abilities of [Soul Storm] and ghosts.Although Misha had the horn of Cole, William did not dare to experiment on her, after all, he could not guarantee that the horn of Cole would always work.But William is sure that Yasuna and Finia will never be able to bear the accidental injury of [Soul Storm].

It didn't take long for the screams outside to stop, only the sound of the wind and the wailing of wraiths echoed in the dark night.William said: "Go to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to do."

The two little guys immediately ran back to the room, and hurriedly climbed onto the bed: "William, Misha wants to hear a story!" "Yeah! Eeeee!"

William was about to appease the two little girls who were addicted to bedtime fairy tales, but Yasuna said behind him, "William, what are you going to do? The power of druids cannot be underestimated."

William gave a wry smile without looking back, and said, "What else can I do, move somewhere, it seems that I was born to be a vagabond, I can't live a peaceful life!"

Turning around and seeing Yasuna hesitate to speak, William said with a smile: "I know in my heart, Xieren and the others will never let me idle. If you want to participate in the game, you have to pay the price. The accident that happened today may be a Opportunity. Go to sleep, I have everything."

Throughout the night, except for William and the others who fell asleep peacefully, the entire Silvermoon City was almost restless. The huge riot of undead raised the defense level of Silvermoon City to the highest authority. Alaszhuo summoned all the magic guards to stand by. I also entered Links' mage tower to prepare for possible crises.

"My lord, you have kept her secret from me. You actually hid her in a village outside Silvermoon City. But this time, it's really troublesome. Night Shadows are not easy to deal with!" Links looked It seems a bit gloating.

Alaszhuo said a little annoyed: "Don't just talk sarcastic there, let's think about what to do in the future."

Lin Kesi shook her head and said, "Give up! Who do you think can survive the siege of the night shadows? Besides, even if the child can survive, those peepers will not let her go. If she is taken in, Silvermoon City will definitely become a place of public criticism."

Alaszhuo said: "I know, that's why I asked the William brothers and sisters to come to Silvermoon City, but it's really not the right time to be exposed, we haven't made enough preparations, and there are still too many uncertain factors that have not been controlled. Links, I need your help."

Links said: "Tell me your request, and I will satisfy you."

"Gather a group of capable men and choose them from your school. I need them to go to Mithril Hall to suppress the enemies that may exist in the Underdark."

Links said dumbly: "You want to use Mithril Hall to attract Rose's attention? This is not very reliable."

Elastre smiled and said: "Don't forget there is Drizzt, with him, Rose will definitely not give up."

At this time, a guard knocked on the door: "Ms. Elastra, the leader of the druid circle wants to see you."

Alustri nodded to Links and said, "Okay, Mr. Harder, please come up."

Links said with a smile: "I heard that some young druids ran out of the city in the evening, now...hehe, I'm afraid they collided with Yeying."

Alaszhuo pretended to be curious: "Oh? What are you guys doing running out at this time?"

Links opened her eyes wide and said, "You don't know?"

"Why do I need to know?" Of course Alastriol knew what was going on, but at this time she needed to pretend to be confused.

Links squinted her eyes and smiled, "If that's the case, then I don't know either. Hehe!"

Chapter 31 Lark

A nightshade is a powerful undead blend of equal parts darkness and pure evil, each fearsome being with unique strengths and abilities that would make even dragons dwarfed by nightshades.

There are three kinds of night shadows that are known to people, crouching night shadows, a huge humanoid creature that is more than [-] feet high and made of pure darkness; The color is pitch black, and they are gigantic monsters. Their cross-sectional diameter is more than seven feet, and the length from the head full of sharp teeth to the tail full of thorns can reach more than one hundred feet.

Compared with the first two kinds of night shadows, the flying wing night shadows are the weakest category. These terrifying creatures shaped like giant bats are always invisible and lurking above the night sky, swooping down to their targets silently.Only when they pass by the stars and cause the starlight to be faint, can some traces be barely noticed.

Yeying is the embodiment of evil, the darling of death, their chilling resentment spreads around the body, and there is a smell from the open tomb in the winter morning.Although this cold aura cannot harm living creatures, it can destroy most time-sensitive items (such as food, drink, holy water, magic potions, oils, and salves).

Fortunately, this biting cold is very easy to recognize. As long as you have experienced it before, you can easily distinguish it when you encounter it next time, so it is difficult for the night shadows to surprise those who have encountered them.Of course, for the vast majority of people, this kind of statement is just like the story of "tigers only eat the heartless", it is a comforting rhetoric. Yeying people like to use tactics when attacking, but the success of the tactics depends on whether the tactics are successful or not. The final ending basically doesn't matter too much, because they are powerful enough to crush everything.

The guards watched in amazement as Archdruid Hader left the Mage Tower angrily, but they didn't keep this surprise on their faces for too long, and soon resumed their solemn expressions.In the mage tower, Links smiled knowingly and asked: "Such a direct rejection of Hader is not in line with your usual style. Is the power of the druid circle just giving up?"

Alaszhuo glared at Links and said, "I would be very grateful if you could spare me one sarcasm."

Links smiled lightly: "Okay, okay, I know Yeying is hard to deal with, and your decision is very wise and decisive."

Alas Zhuo said: "Hadr wants me to come forward to connect with the druid power of other temples. At this time, it is simply unreasonable to provoke the pets of the three gods of death."

Links said: "Then what next, who are you going to form an alliance with?"

Elastra smiled and said, "No need for now, Yeying is not here for us. Xillen's plan is really good, now we just need to keep them away from Silvermoon City."

"Plan? What plan?"
