The Swordsman of Faerûn

"You... you? What did you say?" The old Saron spirit was probably taken aback by William's reaction. He hadn't turned his mind for a while, and his three huge mouths were speechless. A little trembling, a large amount of saliva flowed down the chin to the mud floor, and then turned into purple aura and dissipated.

William's face turned cold, and he roared angrily with a sullen face: "I said——! Tell you to get out! A bunch of shameless things, I really don't know how your mother gave birth to you (Can't blame William, he really doesn't know about Sarah Information about the spirits and monsters), actually made up such a disgusting excuse! Disappear from my eyes immediately, otherwise—”

Saying that, William put the knife in front of his chest, gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice: "——you can die here!"

Vollaren finally came to his senses, his three arms and nine palms stretched forward, and his nine dark eyes stared fiercely at William as if they were on fire.This large monster shook its three big heads angrily, and said angrily: "You... you damn human, do you know? You insulted the noble Imasca era inheritor, a former Archmage? Standing in front of you small humans is a real Saron..."

The Sharon spirit Voltraren seems to be confused by anger. The arrogance of the human archmage in the past made his eyes almost angry. If possible, this Sharon spirit would definitely not mind sending a few [Meteor Storm ] Slammed on the head of the rude young human in front of him.It's a pity that the current Vollaren has temporarily lost this ability, and he can't even use the simplest [magic trick].

This angry monster shook its huge body and quickly swam towards William. It seemed that it wanted to teach William a lesson with the superhuman strength of the Sharon spirit. Unfortunately, what it didn't know was that in hand-to-hand combat, William Enough to be his ancestor.

But when William was about to go up to him, Yasuna stopped him: "William, can you leave this battle to me?"

William couldn't help being startled when he heard the words. Yasuna was not so diligent in the past, but now she came out to cut the plate, which was a bit abrupt.In William's impression, this woman is a useless existence who doesn't wake up early. Isn't it beneficial to fight the monster in front of him?

In fact, this was William's mistake. Fighting with Sharon's ghost is of course not good, but if William is to do it himself, the monster will probably die under his knife. Offended into an endless situation.Yasuna is still counting on establishing a home of the frost giants in the Northland in the future. Although the Saren spirits are unlikely to provide any help in this matter, as long as they want to, they can easily destroy Yasuna's plan. It was yellowed.

Although William wasn't very clear about Yasuna's little plan, but as long as it wasn't too much, he didn't bother to be serious. He glanced at Yasuna, and then retreated into the carriage.You must know that there is still an unknown Selyse hiding in the carriage, leaving Phinea alone in the carriage to take care of it, but William is not at ease.

Holding an ax and shield, Yasuna turned her head and said to the car: "Misha, I need to use spells, so let me go." After being together for a long time, the effect of William and others on the Horn of Cole I also figured out some tricks. As long as the little girl is willing, she can restrict or allow anyone within the influence range of Cole's Horn to use magic.

Then Yasuna yelled angrily, and instantly transformed into a thirteen-foot-tall giant, covered in cold air like a sculpture in ice and snow.With a roar, the giantess erected her shield like a tank and slammed into the Sharon spirit.

"哃咚" There was a dull sound of the shield hitting the flesh, and the Sharon spirit was knocked over and fell to the ground. Yasuna pressed the shield against Vollaren's chest, and swung her other hand to feel the cold His tomahawk smashed it hard on the forehead with the back of the axe.The giantess knew early on that the regeneration ability of Sharon's spirit was astonishing, and these injuries would not kill Vollaren at all, so the tomahawk was flipped up and down again and again, and the poor spirit struggled, roared, and howled desperately, causing the It took all the strength to push the giantess away, then stood up shaking and tried to fight back.

But the long-term use of magic almost made Vollaren forget the instinct of close combat, so it was knocked over and beaten by the brave and unstoppable Yasuna time and time again, and the three heads were almost smashed to pieces. Blurred and horrible.

Lucilia, who was standing in the distance, stared blankly at the poor mentor Vollaren being ravaged so miserably. She was almost scared to death. This was the legendary Vollaren who was like a god Mentor?how so!The half-finished product of the bewildered Sharen spirit, who was stunned, prayed silently with tears streaming down his face: O God!help me!Save poor mentor Voltraren!

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

There was a lot of fighting outside, and the two little girls who couldn't stand the loneliness rushed to lean against the hole in the wall of the carriage, poked their heads out and looked out, while William sat and watched.With William here to take care of her, Phineya felt relieved and ran out to join in the fun, standing not far from the battlefield with Thunder Frost in her hands, eager to try.

In the carriage, Selyse was surprisingly honest and quiet. William stared at her for a while, then slowly asked: "Ms. Selyse, why are you here again? Bar?"

Selyse casually took off the pin on the collar and pinched it in her hand, looked at William with a wry smile and said, "If possible, I would rather not have appeared here, because of this thing that ruined my life in the deep water." Years of planning in the city."

William wondered, "Why do you say that?"

Selyse raised the pin ornament in her hand, and said, "Since this thing fell into my hands, I have planned to hide my identity and wait for a lifetime. I never thought that after so long, I would activate the 'thorn bird' at this time." Plan', it seems that some terrible accident is about to happen."

William spread his hands and made a gesture of "I don't understand", and Selyse smiled lightly: "Of course you don't understand, this is the domain ruled by the gods. Zhanor... Forget it, what's the use of talking about it. I'm here to warn you that the original respondent had an unexpected change, and she actually fell into the arms of Sharon's family. Of course , the section of the road before you enter Enook will also be guided by me."

William stroked his slightly fluffy chin, and asked again: "According to the monster outside, there will be accidents if you enter the Ennook Desert. Is what he said true?"

"Don't you know the legend between Sharon and Felin Mokui?" Selyse looked at William with a strange look like "people on Earth see Martians", and smiled in surprise, "Einol There is a group of powerful monsters imprisoned in the underground of the Great Oak Desert—Ferrin Mokui. Thousands of years ago, those monsters destroyed the most glorious civilization of human beings and created this continent in the most prosperous civilization gathering area at that time. The largest desert in the world—Enook..."

"In the end, the Sharon spirit sealed most of the Felin Mokui and saved the world. The current human civilization is basically rebuilt on the ruins of the survivors after that disaster, so everything related to Feilin People are always wary of Lin Mokui's changes."

After listening to Selyse's explanation, William pondered for a while and said, "According to this, we must never enter the Great Enoch Desert?"

Celis shook her head and said: "It's not that exaggerated. Voltraren is just a survivor from the Imascar era. As far as Sharon is concerned, he is still a young member. He didn't know that he had paid a lot to seal the Felin Mokui. How much it cost, and no one is fully aware of what conditions are needed to break the seal, except for the planner of the whole incident—the mysterious lady Mystra.”

"Although I don't know what price I need to pay for releasing those terrible phaerim moss, but I do know one thing, and that is the real purpose of Vallaren's coming to compete for this girl—it is definitely not because he is worried about Enuo the seal under the gram."

William focused his eyes and asked, "Oh? Then what is his real purpose?"

Selyse sighed, and said sadly, "It's for the killing storm on the Supreme Wasteland."

"Slaughtering Storm? What is that?" William found that there were so many things he didn't understand in this world. Even if he wanted to understand, he didn't know where to start, so he could only go slowly Contact (some things are out of reach even if you want to).This is why William is always wary of these powerful figures of unknown origin. The most terrifying thing in the world is the unknown.

Selyse was finally convinced that the "boy" in front of him was definitely a more "hillies" existence, but he was so powerful and confused.ignorance!fearless!alert!Fierce!Elastra is worthy of being Elastra, and I have to say that there is no more suitable candidate in this world than the "hillbilly" in front of me in terms of the choice of guards to escort the "mysterious girl" Miluna.

The former glamorous assassin from Waterdeep City, with an intriguing smile on his pretty face, explained the ancient legend to William: "More than ten thousand years ago, this continent was once occupied by elves. Controlled. Just as there are frequent wars between humans and humans, the elves are not harmonious. According to legend, there was a crown war between them that lasted for thousands of years, and caused the division and decline of the elves. The Supreme Wilderness is the remnant of the Millennium War. A powerful and rich elf kingdom—Mayerita was directly destroyed by a terrible magic storm. The magic power has lasted for thousands of years, and it has not faded until today. Our Call that magic a Slaughterstorm or a Dark Scourge..."

William quietly listened to Selyse telling these epic legends that he had never been in contact with. He didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't stop communicating with the lady in front of him until a new incident occurred outside.

"Stop it! Stop it! Please don't hit me again..." It seemed that Sharon, the spirit, was not a tough guy. Finally, he couldn't bear Yasuna's violent beating anymore, and begged for mercy.As it turned out, the sharen who had lost his magic powers was nothing more than a big, clumsy idiot, and the pride of the so-called archmage was worth nothing in the face of "violent fists."

In fact, the bosses of Faerun don't care about the so-called "pride" or "face" at all. All the stupid birds who pay attention to these have basically been abandoned by history or the gods.Even Il or the Seven Sisters, as well as other gods' chosen ones who are of the same status as them, are basically pragmatic variants who talk to people and talk to the devil.If you really meet such a "superior" in Faerun, it is definitely an excuse for the other party to find something, including the dragon.

If a dragon tells you that you offended her pride as a dragon, it doesn't mean that you really offended her, but that she's hungry and wants to eat you or steal a few more beautiful dragons from your pocket. gems and gold coins.

William gestured to Phinea who was outside the car, turned to Celis and asked, "Ms. Celis, why don't you get out of the car and take a look together?"

Celis shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'd better not meet Mr. Watlaren."

At this time, Phineya still came to the carriage, and William sent the two excited little girls into her arms one by one, then jumped off the carriage lightly, and said with a smile on his face: "Go! Let's go and see the legendary Look like a monster begging for mercy."

Behind him, Selyse looked at William's back with a strange look on his face, and thought in his heart: He is really a cautious guy, he won't leave any room for relaxation!

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

Yasuna stepped on the chest of the Sharon spirit, Vollaren, with her ax and shield hanging down on both sides of her body, which was a bit pretending to be deep.Although the posture of being stepped on his chest was a bit aggrieved, it seemed that Vollaren didn't have any resentment such as humiliation and resentment, and he didn't have the magnanimity that an archmage should have (some people imagined).On the contrary, he is a bit like a bloody toad spirit, very obedient and well-behaved.Kneeling on the ground next to her, Ruth was sobbing softly, no different from a weak little woman after losing her magical power.

From an aesthetic point of view, the Sharon spirit with three heads, three arms, nine hands and nine eyes definitely belongs to the ranks of a mixed version of crooked melons and dates plus mutations and deformities, especially the three beaten ones wriggling like rotten melons, The head healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, scared the two little girls to hide in Feniya's arms, covering their eyes with their little hands and not daring to look closely.

If you have to "judg monsters by their appearance", Voltraren is in the ranks that must be humanely destroyed (fortunately, in the land of Faerun, there is still a market for coffee tables that scare children).

William walked up to the two (monsters), motioned Yasuna to let go of each other, knelt down and said in a low voice to the tragic Saren spirit: "I don't know why you are trying to get Xiao Mi Luna's idea, I don’t want to know either! This time I’m just teaching you a lesson, remember! Only this time, if we meet again next time, I will kill you without hesitation, no matter who you are!”

Vollaren got up unsteadily, raised his head with his arms on the ground and said: "William, you will regret it! You don't understand what that child represents at all, and it is not a field where ordinary people can interfere. Give her up Come on, give the child to me to take away..."

"I think you really want to die!" This bitch was still undecided, William suddenly punched one of Vollaren's nearly recovered heads into smashed purple thick sauce as a Warning let these three monsters have a long memory.

However, William finally let the master and apprentice of Voltraren go. This pair of Saron spirits, big and small, went in an extremely embarrassing situation. I am afraid that in the past thousand years, there really has been no Sharon of the same race as they have encountered.

One (half Saron) Lucilia left, but another more mysterious Selyse remained.When William and the others were about to go on the road again, they found that the carriage could no longer move forward, because the pony pulling the carriage had been destroyed by the aftermath of the battle. incontinence.Among the four animals lay two people, the coachman Sandro and the boy Daniel. When William found them, the two poor fellows were shivering with their heads buried in horse excrement and piss, and their bodies were dirty and dirty. Smelly.

The carriage could no longer be used, so everyone had to abandon the carriage and horse and walk.Before leaving, a small incident happened to William. Perhaps because he didn’t want to make his property cheaper for others, the coachman Sandro not only smashed the abandoned carriage to pieces, but even slaughtered the four dwarves. Horses, this kind of "killing the donkey" really made William feel tired, but he could only keep the three ponies alive, and asked Yasuna to cast the magical spell of "pacify the animals" on them , Remove the bridle and rein and release in the wilderness.

The drizzle in the sky still showed no sign of stopping, but if experienced people pay attention to observe, they can find that the cloud has lightened a little that day.In order to save some energy on the journey, Yasuna still maintains her [Ice Field], in William's words, she never leaves her fists, never leaves her tunes, no matter what skill it is, the only way to do it is to practice diligently and practice it to the extreme And flow, like the command of an arm, can be regarded as a proficient skill.That's why Yasuna is running almost all the time to maintain the icy air on her body, controlling them to be bigger or smaller, stronger or weaker, constantly changing.

William held the hands of a little girl in each of his left and right hands, and they deliberately stepped on the little leather boots on the little feet on the ice, making a crisp "click" sound with every step.Behind the three of them was a big white cat with soft fur. The fur on the little thing's body was very white, and it was fluffy like snow without dripping water, making it look extraordinarily cute.

Phinea and Selyse were a few steps behind William. Selyse looked a little weak, and her walk made people feel a little weak, but if someone really thought so, it would be a big mistake.William had long noticed that Selyse had an extraordinary gait.One must know that in terms of body shape, Selyse's weight is much heavier than the two little girls, but walking on the road covered by Yasuna's ice, her deeds are not much different from those of cats and cats. , the end is almost silent.Only William, who has such a close-to-spiritual sense of hearing and eyes, can detect the clues. Of course, he is concerned about this and secretly vigilant.

Selyse also knew that her identity was suspicious, especially William in front of her was extremely stubborn and vigilant, acting in a unique way, completely different from ordinary people.Thinking of this, Celis looked softly at Phineya who was walking beside her. Speaking of this big, silly girl, she was much more stupid. Her serious eyes looked at Celis from time to time, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell What is she thinking.

William also knew that it was a joke for Phinea to spy on Celis, but he did it on purpose.One is to warn Selice, if she is really a friend, it will be fine, but if Selice has evil intentions, it can also make her dare not act rashly; Only by doing a lot and getting familiar with experience can we make progress. As long as we keep practicing, Phineya will grow into a good helper sooner or later. William doesn't want this girl to be a clumsy girl all her life. Wild girl.

Of course, the ones who fell at the end were the little boy Daniel and the coachman Sandro. Sandro was not liked by William, but Daniel was a little timid and cowardly, and he was frightened by Yasuna's prestige that day. The troubled brothers didn't have the courage to run up to join in the fun with a few people, and they fell behind and became superfluous passers-by.

After traveling for more than ten miles a day, and walking like this for another three to five days, the dark clouds in the sky gradually showed signs of dissipating, but the rain hadn't stopped yet, and Xi Kangbu's shadow could be faintly seen in the distance.

It was a castle built of limestone slabs. When you get closer, you can find the moldy and wet moss on the stone slabs of the city wall. In front of the city wall is a wide moat. Put it away, only the iron-clad city gate was tightly closed.

There is no shadow of a guard on the top of the city, and there is only the sound of falling rain. Maybe the guards guarding the city are tired of the musty weather and have gone somewhere to shelter from the rain. Maybe they are still taking a sip from time to time. What about wine?

William and the others came to the city, but faced with the closed city gate, they had some difficulties. How to enter the city.

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

After much deliberation, William still chose to enter West Combe in the normal way.The unexpected interveners who appeared one after another along the way made him understand that the so-called hidden whereabouts are just a joke, and those who possess mysterious (magic) power have means to determine their whereabouts.Therefore, instead of hiding in the XZ like a bereaved dog, it is better to directly state that the horses and horses are going on their way in an upright manner.

This is an era when demons dance wildly. There are endless monsters that may threaten human cities, hiding in them and waiting for an opportunity to cause disaster.I don’t know how many prosperous cities and towns were destroyed by the hands of demons and monsters. Not to mention, the largest and most prosperous elf city in the entire continent in recent hundreds of years——Myth Drannor, was actually destroyed by demons from the bottomless abyss. The destruction is enough to make all the city lords feel chilled forever.Therefore, keeping those evil-minded people and non-human monsters out of the city is the primary consideration of every civilized city.

Of course, there were other reasons for the destruction of Myth Drannor, such as civil strife, the vanity of the citizens, and the corruption of the high-level, but it was the first magical device built for the entire city in the past thousand years-the capital of the elves of Myth Drann. , in the eyes of the world, it is definitely an existence that needs to be looked up to (in fact, it is the establishment of the magic circle that makes the elves who are accustomed to comfort lose their vigilance to the outside world involuntarily. Lock).

You can't expect that those monsters who sneaked into the city may suddenly let you and your people be kind, the only option is to keep them out as much as possible.Therefore, every large-scale town must have the means to identify non-human monsters, even if it is just for facade, at least they must have scruples and dare not act recklessly.

The last "rampant giant baboon incident" that happened in Nasmai was purely because the city guards lost their heads, and most of the arcane power was diverted to divert attention, which led to disaster.

It is definitely not a simple matter for a stranger of unknown origin to enter a strange big town.There was a special reason why William could easily walk into Mirabar and Silvermoon City that day.First of all, William was originally a boy from a village under Mirabar City who was not born but grew up in the village. He can be regarded as a red seedling with a clean history, and there are people from the Harbell family to testify. Even so, he was secretly killed by someone. A [group suggestion technique], of course, caused quite a mess.As for Silvermoon City, there is a silver-haired woman named Xi Lun, so there is no need for verification.But in Xikangbu, the old ("changing" sound) bargains are gone, and everything has to follow the rules of the city.

Entering the city during the rainy season when there are few pedestrians is definitely not a good choice. Even a fool would not rush in this kind of musty weather. You must know that it will kill people, unless they are non-human.So when William pulled the rope of the bronze bell at the gate of the city (equivalent to a doorbell, it is not fashionable to call the city gate with a high voice here), it took a long time for the guard to poke his head out from the top of the city wall after the bell rang. .From the flushed face of the guard, it can be seen that he drank a lot of alcoholic beverages. Of course, the original impatience on his face and the surprise when he saw William and others in the city were also clearly visible.

Harvey, the guard of the city gate, rubbed his cheeks vigorously, in order to make his mind drugged by alcohol clearer, and he looked at the figure under the city carefully and seriously again, that's right!There were indeed people calling the city gate outside, adults and children, men and women, all unfamiliar faces, where did they come from.

Don't compare the gate guards in the north with our ancient city gate soldiers. In this area where monsters are rampant, the gate guards are the frontline defenders against the invasion and penetration of monsters. There are too many magic and strange techniques to try to deceive They are in order to muddle through, so the city gate guards are often the most trustworthy, experienced, and most reliable candidates in a city.Harvey is such a trustworthy person. Of course, it would be perfect if he can get rid of his alcoholism.

As an old city gate guard, Harvey has a pair of extremely vicious eyes and a good memory. He can remember almost every passerby who has been to Xikangbu, distinguish where each caravan came from, and even guess who he is. What kind of goods they brought, whether it was white goods or stolen goods, in short, this is an extremely experienced gatekeeper.

However, Harvey was a little confused about the number of these people in the city. Just looking at the distressed appearance of the two men behind, they seemed to be travelers who had suffered a lot, but the mud under their feet was slightly less, but Looking at the remaining few men, women and children, they were too clean and refreshing.

Harvey didn't go directly to open the door for questioning, but ran to the city and washed his face with the accumulated rainwater, and then notified the other city guards and mage advisors. After gathering enough contingency forces, he brought a few The assistant came to the city gate, slowly opened the iron-clad gate with a small gap that only one person could pass through, squeezed out alone, and then signaled his companion to close the gate.

When Harvey walked towards William and the others, William was also sizing up the middle-aged man who went out of the city alone. At first glance, he seemed ordinary, an ordinary old man with some pungent smell on his body. The smell of alcohol, only those slightly cloudy brown eyes made William feel a little unusual.

Harvey walked up to William and the others, quickly sized them up, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"

William stepped forward and replied: "We are travelers from the north. We have been exhausted all the way. We hope to rest here and replenish some supplies."

Harvey lowered his head and looked at William's feet. The bare feet looked extremely clean, without a trace of muddy water. The soles of the feet were soft and soft, almost comparable to the soft feet of a beautiful woman. They didn't look like a traveler who was tired from the journey.Then Harvey looked at the feet of several other people. They (he) were all wearing boots, but some boots were slightly white. Harvey was sure that it looked like the frost was melting rapidly. He An inexplicable doubt arose in his heart, where did the frost come from in this season.

Harvey shrank his pupils, shook his head at everyone, and said, "I can't believe you, you don't look like hikers on a long journey, but more like idle children on a picnic. Sorry, people with unknown backgrounds like you I'm not going to let anyone into Westcombe, especially at this time of year."

"Why!?" The one who spoke was the little boy Daniel who had been hanging out with the coachman. This little rookie who had never traveled far was fed up with the sulking of the past few days, especially since the appearance of William and others, the beautiful Selyse refused to pay him any more attention, and anyone could see that the woman was "transferring love".

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

"Why! I've had enough of the damned weather! The damned rain! The damned road! The damned mud! The damned frost! And these horrible company! I'm going to town! I need a warm bed Quilts, delicious gin, delicious beef ribs..." Little Daniel, who had accumulated a lot of anger, finally broke out, chattering and venting his dissatisfaction and resentment these days in front of everyone.

Harvey looked at Daniel in surprise, and found that he was the only normal person among the few people, so he asked, "Who are you?"

Daniel was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he was mixing with a group of "ruthless people". He broke out in a cold sweat, and stammered a little tremblingly, "I... Students...ah no...it's...apprentices!"

When Harvey heard Daniel report the name of his mentor Mariel, he couldn't help but trembled in his heart, and didn't dare to continue questioning the poor young man.Without him, the name Mariel is too famous. This fame does not refer to Mariel's strength, but her ridiculous personality.Of course, Mariel's strength is not weak. As a powerful dragon mage, Mariel's strength is comparable to Kelben's. Flattery invades the species, decorates the phantom widow, and the badger Nakongzhe.

It's just that compared to other powerhouses, the dragon mage Mariel is a bit suspected of not doing his job properly in some respects.Just like ordinary people like Harvey, people's fear of Mariel is not like that of ordinary archmages. It is only due to the awe of mysterious power, and the bigger reason is Mariel's reckless behavior without scruples. , a bad temper that is both good and evil, and of course her greed for treasure.

Harvey carefully looked at Daniel who was in a mess again. Although the little white face in front of him was fairly thin-skinned and tender, he didn't look like a master who could produce a large amount of astronomical wealth.He asked suspiciously, "Are you sure you're not lying? If you're really an apprentice of Archmage Mariel, but why...why did you appear here?"

The corner of Daniel's mouth twitched violently. He couldn't help but look back at Celis, who was quietly smiling beside him, and said in a slightly muttered voice, "What I said is true, I... I have already paid off the contract." The debt on the Internet has redeemed my freedom."

Harvey also noticed Celis. He raised his slightly sparse eyebrows and lowered his voice: "Understood! No wonder Bloodclaw goes crazy... Hehe, I hope the pursuers in Waterdeep City won't be rushing in the same rain. Are these people you hired to escort the mercenaries?" Harvey pointed to William's family.

Daniel quickly waved his hand and said, "No... no, we met them on the way, not along the way."

Harvey nodded and said: "Well, I don't care who you offend, you can go to the city, but you'd better be honest, don't pick trouble in the city, and be careful not to get entangled in trouble." He gestured for Daniel to wait aside.

Sandro, the coachman, saw that Daniel had obtained permission, and hurriedly approached him and said, "Mr. Guard! Mr. Guard! I am the coachman hired by Mr. Daniel, a really good coachman. Mr. Daniel can prove it, right?"

Harvey tilted his head back to stay away from Sandro, because the coachman smelled like horse shit and piss, he didn't hide his disgust, and asked with a frown: "Damn, don't you?" Have you been ridden by a mare? The smell is really disgusting! I think I know you—the evil coachman in Waterdeep City who often travels between the market and Skull Harbor. Your carriage once carried countless Poor man. Honestly, I'd love to rain you out in the moors for weeks, where's your damn wagon?"

(The official order of Waterdeep City prohibits citizens from keeping slaves, but the underground part of the city - Skull Harbor is the largest distribution center for slave smuggling in the entire Northland. More than [-]%, and the city managers have always acquiesced to this fact. Whenever citizens in the city buy slaves, they will return to the aboveground part of the city in a closed carriage.)

Sandro said with a frustrated face: "It's all due to the damn bad weather, my poor carriage broke down halfway, and I lost four of my best draft horses. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have run this business." Yes." Sandro did not dare to directly say that his carriage was implicated by William's family. Years of social experience taught him that some people cannot be offended, such as powerful beings like William.

Harvey gloated and sneered: "I hope you can find the wreckage of your carriage and harness horse after the rain stops! But if you want to buy a new carriage in West Combe, I'm afraid you will have to pay double the price." .”

After laughing at the coachman, Harvey asked again: "I am very surprised about one thing. Everyone knows how difficult the road is this season. Why are your feet so clean?"

Sandro turned his head and glanced at William and Yasuna. Seeing that they had no intention of stopping, he replied cautiously: "Mr. William's companion is a powerful spellcaster. She has the power to control frost. The mud is frozen, and we have come all the way through the frost, so of course we will not be contaminated with mud."

After a pause, Sandro continued: "Mr. William's strength deserves everyone's respect. On the way, they even almost killed a terrifying Saren spirit..."

Harvey's face became serious. No one knew better than the people of Xikangbu that their "neighbor" - the Saren spirit was very powerful, and it seemed that the Saren spirit had a good relationship with several nearby cities. Presumably those powerful "neighbors" should not conflict with others for no reason.Harvey gestured cautiously to his companions at the head of the city, put his hand on his chest and bowed lightly to William: "This Mr. William, please forgive my rudeness, but I don't know why you are here? "A middle-aged man in his 50s and [-]s is saluting to a youthful kid. This scene is really inconsistent, but Harvey doesn't care about it anymore, but he regards William and the others as a powerful and different existence. .

Why do you think?The reason is simple. Although magic is powerful, it is not omnipotent. Even Archmage Elminster can't freeze the muddy road all the way and walk on the ice.Regardless of whether Lao Yi has this ability, even if he has, he dare not do this, otherwise the mysterious lady will never spare him.The motto of Goddess of Magic is that the more people who know ordinary magic, the better, and it is best that all people in the world learn to cast spells (with the help of the magic network); the less arcane magic is used, the better, it is best for all A spellcaster never uses an arcane spell in his lifetime.

Using the magic network to release spells has a limit of spell slots, and even an archmage can use very few spells in a day. Only certain creatures with special talents can use certain spells indefinitely.

William had known that there would be twists and turns when entering the city, and now he could only use tiger skin as a banner. He took out a wooden harp-shaped horn from his pocket, which William carved himself after the token used by Captain Morgan when he entered Yatta. of.William waved the horn in front of Harvey, then quickly withdrew it in his arms, and whispered: "We are entrusted by Ms. Elastre of Silvermoon City, and we are carrying out a secret mission. Don't worry! I won't wait Staying in this city for too long..."

As soon as Harvey saw the horn, he immediately changed his attitude, and the nervousness on his body immediately disappeared, and he said with a little relief: "So it's Ms. Guanghui's friend, no wonder! Well, you can enter the city, but accept [ Detect Spell] inspection is inevitable, are you companions together?"

William had asked Yasuna specifically about the [Detection Spell] a long time ago, but the others were fine. Yasuna's identity as a frost giant could not be concealed unless she used the power of the Horn of Cole, but William didn't want to. He continued to hide like this, so he pointed to Yasuna and said, "Wait a minute! This companion of mine is a frost giant. She was once the leader of a small tribe of frost giants on the Spine of the World. Ms. Zhuo defeated and subdued...she has a bad temper! To be honest, I really don't want to go on this mission with her..."

"Are you sure you're not talking about the one holding the baby?..." Harvey was a little confused. In his opinion, Feniya was more like a frost giant than Suna.

William shrugged half-truthfully and said: "That's her daughter Phinea. Phinea grew up in Silvermoon City. In my opinion, she is more reassuring than her mother."

In the end, Harvey allowed William and his party to enter the city, but everyone accepted the magic detection of the mage consultant, including Yasuna.Sure enough, the spell revealed the fact that Yasuna was a giant, but there was no indication of [Evil Light] (for alien races like Yasuna, a test of the [Detect Evil] spell was required).

Xikangbu City is not too big. The whole city is divided into two parts, inside and outside. The inner city is mainly the living area of ​​the residents and the city owner, while the outer city is mainly the residence area for foreign settlers and traders. Pubs and hotels are also mostly concentrated in this area.Passengers with suspicious origins like William were not allowed to run around after entering the city. They could only go to designated hotels outside the city to stay.

The main streets in the city are paved with stone slabs, but most of the alleys are still muddy roads. The continuous rain makes the streets of the outer city empty. Occasionally, a few figures with slightly dull faces stare at the mildew rain in a daze, with a look of The moldy appearance, as if the whole person was soaked by the rain.

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

Under the drizzle, everything in Xicombe is wet, the wet sky, the wet wilderness, the wet city, the wet street, and the wet hotel signboard - it is a cup with a corner missing, Under the rain, they were like wet rotten wooden boards. Under the guidance of City Guard Harvey, William and his party walked through the streets and alleys to the door of this dilapidated hotel.

Pushing open the welcoming wooden gate of the Cutaway Cup Hotel, you will still be greeted with a damp smell, with the lingering musty smell of sweat and alcohol, which makes people feel sick and tired.There are a few tables and wooden stools in the lobby of the hotel, and some boring people are sitting here and there, some of them are down-and-out people who just woke up from a hangover.

The continuous rainy days made everyone's heart feel like a layer of cloud, and it was dead silent and dull without any vitality.The entrance of William and others did not attract too many people's attention. Occasionally, one or two idlers raised their eyelids for a blank look, and then drooped them again.

The owner of the hotel leaned lazily on the wine cabinet, squinted at William and the others who entered the door, and said in a weak voice: "Harvey, don't send homeless people of unknown origin to me anymore, my troubles are over. Enough!"
