The Swordsman of Faerûn

Io's roar was more shocking than thunder: "Be quiet! Heim, if you don't want to suffer the same fate as them."

Haim still stubbornly said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of disobeying the greatness of you, but they should at least know the crimes they have committed." The Guardian God turned to face the gods and shouted: "Among us The one who stole the slate of fate that we shouldn't touch!"

An inexplicable energy suddenly rushed out of the void, turning into a burning ring of fire around Haim's hands, feet, knees, and body. The powerful patron saint was pulled high into the sky like a marionette, until all A realm of nothingness that even gods cannot peer into.What appeared in front of Heim was the unprecedented darkness, the living darkness, the darkness that breeds destruction, the darkness that symbolizes the anger of Io, the king of the gods...

After an unknown amount of time, Haim finally fell from nothingness and hit the temple floor heavily. His divine body was covered in blood and bruises like a mortal body, and his hands and feet were also broken.Haim wanted to stand up again, but it was a pity that he struggled for a long time and was still powerless. None of the gods who had been shrouded in fear dared to step forward to help, and none of the gods dared to ignore his begging eyes and let him fall there sadly .

Then more energy rushed to other gods, except for a few special gods (such as Jergal, the ancient god of death), almost none of them were exempt, all of which were represented by the angry flame of Io, the king of gods. At the same time, Io's majestic voice continued to sound: "You will no longer be able to sit in the kingdom of God and look down at the world leisurely, as if it is just your entertainment toy."

"You will no longer be able to ignore the duties entrusted to your existence, and you will know and always remember the sins you once ignored. You will be exiled and return to the mortal world to experience the meaning and pain of being a mortal existence."

exile!For the gods, it is definitely a more painful punishment than destruction, just like a high-ranking person with a high position, they can accept death, but they cannot bear the bitter fruit of losing their power.As a result, the gods were in an uproar, and all roared and screamed in horror.

"Your Majesty Aio! Let us find out the sinful thief for you and return the Slate of Fate!"

"We are innocent! Don't let us all be punished for the ignorance of one of us, Your Majesty Io!"

……

Whether it was Mystra, the goddess of magic, Tire, the god of justice and judgment, or other gods, they all begged the king of gods to change his mind in horror and despair.However, it is obvious that all this is in vain, the darkness representing Io's anger turned into a whip of punishment and whipped every begging god, including Tier's only remaining eye, which was whipped by the terrible whip The shattering exploded, and He fell to the ground crying in pain, clutching His blind eyes with both hands.

"You poor fools, you only see yourself!" The gods were speechless for Io's accusation, the flames of punishment burned their bodies and spirits, and the gods couldn't help crying like mortals Moaning, the flames on some of the more severely punished gods have turned into blue flames, and Bane, the Lord of Darkness, is one of them. The pain has almost exceeded the limit that the gods can bear, so that Bane can only utter Involuntary screams.

The cruel torment lasted for several months. After the endless torment, all the gods were entangled in energy beams and tied together tightly. When they found themselves able to move and think again, and When they were afraid—the fear they were just familiar with—they gasped for breath, as if they would drown if they didn't breathe.

Finally, Talos, the Storm King, barely spoke, his voice was weak and hoarse, and each word came from a terrified gasp: "Is this the end? Is this the only punishment for us?" Suddenly the temple disappeared, still being The gods bound together find themselves looking into the faces they fear most: chaos, order, life, death, love, indifference... each god sees his own demise.

"Of course not! That's just the beginning of my anger. Now, drink it! Enjoy it! This is the mead you deserve!" It was God King Io's slightly mocking growl.There was a sound that no one had ever heard before—the screams of the gods.

Mystra, the goddess of magic, found herself drawn into a chaotic and weird energy vortex. She struggled to break free from the vortex and regain control of her body, but she failed.In this vortex, Mystra was stripped of her godhead. This process was an unbearable pain, a hundred times more painful than the previous torture.All gods suffered the same fate and were subsequently banished from the heavens, except Helm.

In the high sky of the heaven, Heim witnessed the exile of all the gods. Although he was still bleeding, he still kept his godhead and divine power intact, unlike other gods.A tall warrior wearing a full body of steel armor, and wearing a pair of iron gloves with the eyes of the eternal watchman on it - Haim's eyes are clear, looking at the passage of the plane where the gods disappeared with a little sadness...

In the void, an old voice sounded: "The star war is about to start again, I don't know how many can be selected this time."

Aiou's voice sounded again, but it was very low, and he said: "For thousands of years, except for a few, most of the young members have not been able to satisfy me. I hope this exile can make them grow. After all, time Not much left. Jergal..."

Just when the gods began to be judged by the king of the gods, Io, in the distant main material plane, in a forest in the eastern part of the Faerun road, William just found Yasuna and Fei who had left earlier. The three of them, Niya and Miluna, of course, also had Celis who followed them with a stern face.

To William's surprise, after leaving the shelter of Cole's Corner, the riot phenomenon that caused the siege of monsters in the past did not happen to Meluna. Although he couldn't figure out what was going on, it made him secretly relieved. tone.

However, Yasuna's faces were obviously a bit ugly, and Yasuna even stared at Misha in William's arms with cannibalistic eyes, bluffing the guilty little girl into her brother's arms and not daring to show her face .It's just that the little girl's "ostrich tactic" of "regarding the head and ignoring the buttocks" obviously doesn't work on the other little girl. Miluna is like a little female cat who has been robbed of a toy pompom, "Eeeeeeeeeah "Plopped on Misha'er, scratched and bit, forced Misha'er to jump out of William's embrace, and shouted with a little confidence: "Miluna, don't bite my ear! Oh, Let go! Let go——if you don't let go, I'm going to be angry!" I didn't want Meluna to hang on to Misha'er, scratching and biting even more vigorously.Of course, it's not that she didn't welcome Misha'er's return. Mao Maochong just wagged her little tail and jumped around the two playful little girls. This little thing thought it was two little playmates. My son is playing again and wants to get involved.

Yasuna snorted heavily and said, "William, where are those monsters?"

It was obvious that Misha'er had done something excessive when she went back to look for her, but since Yasuna didn't say anything clearly, William couldn't ask directly, so he smiled slightly and said, "It's all been dealt with. It will take a while." There shouldn’t be any troubles for us anymore, let’s find a place nearby to camp and rest for the night, and continue on the road tomorrow.” Indeed, although William doesn’t know who is making trouble for him (no one will believe those ha The son of Kesha will run to the commercial road to lay an ambush by himself for no reason), but in his opinion, the time when he and Yasuna are separated should be the easiest time to attack. Since the enemy has not acted, I believe that in the near future Also won't act rashly.

The calmness of the next few days really confirmed William's guess, not to mention monsters, the group had never even encountered a ferocious beast.William's family drove along the road very leisurely. The two little guys who had been at odds had reconciled as before that night. They sat on Mo Xiao's back with great interest and chattered non-stop, and Mo Xiao was tucked into his ribs. Their wings provide them with the safest protection.Don't ask Misha how to communicate with Miruna who can't speak, the children's happy world adults will never understand.

The number of caravans on the road gradually increased. For three consecutive days, William and the others had met five caravans traveling between Xikangbu and Noisy Water City. These caravans more or less employed some imposing Of course, it is hard to say how powerful these mercenaries are.

William originally didn't want to get involved with these strangers who were begging for life. He didn't want to hurt innocent good-hearted people because of his relationship, and he was also worried about meeting some guys with ulterior motives. He has begun to hate trouble, but many times you Don't want trouble doesn't mean trouble won't find you.

Humans are not the only mercenaries in this world, there are also many subhumans like dwarves, elves, and halflings. There is a short halfling in the caravan that William met now.Halflings are cunning, quick-witted survivors and opportunists who can always find a niche for themselves wherever they are. They may be trustworthy and loyal companions, but more often than not they wait. Opportunity to do a lot of cunning thieves.

Halflings are shorter than dwarves, generally only about three feet, and even two little girls can look down on them without any pressure.The halfling that William and the others saw was a small one. Even if he stood on tiptoe, he might not reach the height of Misha's shoulders. His eyes are like shining black gemstones, shining with cunning brilliance. He is dressed in a simple and comfortable linen shorts jacket, with a dagger the size of a child's toy hanging on his small belt, and a delicate dagger on his back. If it weren't for the long sideburns and a small beard, people who saw him would even suspect that he was just a little kid who hadn't shed milk.

Undoubtedly, this "rare" "little man" attracted the attention of William's family, who had never seen the world before. , even the cat that was chasing behind Mo Xiao's buttocks ran up to the halfling, sniffed it with its small nose, and finally bared its pair of small canine teeth and sent a slap to the halfling. With a cat-like roar in his throat, he ran back swaggeringly just now.

Although the current cat, cat, and insect is just a slightly bigger white cat in William's eyes, but compared to the size of the halfling, it is no less than a small tiger. In a small pit, he stumbled and sat on the ground, causing the rest of the caravan to laugh.

Bullying the weak will exist no matter where, although those mercenaries do not doubt the strength of halfling companions, but it is also a good pastime to be able to make fun of this "little guy", especially when he is actually scared by a cat up.

"Haha! Poor Jess, that's just a cute kitty, it scared you so much that you couldn't even stand on your feet..."

"Jess, do you want me to find you a cane? Hahaha—"

The halfling man got up from the ground, jumped up in embarrassment, and said angrily, "Damn it! I wasn't frightened by that cat, but I accidentally tripped over it! I, Jess, am not a coward." Guys, you bloody bastards..."

It was fine if the halfling didn't explain, but the laughter of the others got louder when he explained.Then the halfling Jess explained the reason for his fall to the crowd again in an even more angry tone. He was not timid, but the crowd responded to him with even louder laughter. Jess was so angry that he almost burned his whole body. Jumping three times at one step, excitedly explaining to everyone one by one, it is obviously futile.

Jess's excited actions looked ridiculous and cute, even William couldn't help but smile, he turned his head and smiled at the two little guys on the horse who were already leaning forward and back with laughter: "Misha , Miluna, I thought of a good idea, would you like to listen to it?"

After a while, a joking ditty came out of Misha'er's mouth:

"There is a halfling here, and his name is Jace

His name is Jess and he's a coward

He was scared and fell over by a cat!a cute kitten

The cat ran away, and Jess was pissed

Jess is a coward!Jess is also a thick skinned

Poor Jess, he's pissed off

......"

When this little tune was sung by Misha'er, the people in the caravan couldn't help being silent, and then there was even louder laughter. The halfling Jess was so angry that he almost fainted. For this halfling, today's experience was a nightmare.

Of course, no one expected that William's joke to tease the little girl on a whim——"Jess is a Coward" would be sung throughout Faerun in the following years, and the halfling Jess also became the first A legend who is sung by the world because of his heroic deeds.

Of course, if anyone underestimated Jace because of this, it would definitely be a wrong judgment. It can be seen from his exposed striped arm muscles that Jace is an extremely strong halfling.William believed that if the halfling was enlarged to the size of an ordinary human, he would definitely be a great strongman.

Because of this unexpected episode, William and others finally decided to go on a journey with this caravan (in fact, the two little girls were reluctant to bear the halfling Jess, which was an interesting joke), and the leader of the caravan was very happy with William's family. After all, it is definitely not a simple person who can have a Pegasus and a "giant" guard.

This caravan has three fully loaded four-wheeled carriages, with some books, spices, handicrafts, a small amount of fur and precious metals on them, and six strong ponies are pulling the carriages with some difficulty and walking not very fast.The leader of the caravan was a human merchant from Waterdeep City, who seemed to be very talkative. When he learned that it was almost the first time for William's family to go out, he very familiarly told William some of his travel experiences, and also There are customs and stories and legends along this trade route.

"Here is a halfling, his name is Jess..." Of course, there is also the laughter of the little girls here. Misha and Miluna are happily chasing after singing the song "Jess is a Coward". The halflings kept running away, and behind them were chasing another "culprit of the accident" - Mao Mao Chong.Poor Jess ran with his hands over his pointy ears, mumbling loudly, "I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it! Jess isn't a coward, Jess isn't! You don't sing..."

But every time Jess met someone, that person immediately laughed and sang: "Here is a halfling, his name is Jace..." and the poor halfling could only helplessly cover his ears and continue running around.

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

The first city to sing the song "Jess is a Coward" was Noisy Water City. Compared with Xikangbu, Noisy Water City is much neater and cleaner, but this city is beautiful. Compared with the beautiful Silver Moon City, Noisy Water City But it makes people feel different.

According to the human businessman next to William, Noisy Water City was first built by a dwarf master craftsman for his elf friends. During the construction process, the dwarf master strives to make the "gift" he created for his elf friends more beautiful.But letting a dwarf who is used to rough beauty to play with the elf's graceful flower work, the final result can only be "four different images" that are unreliable on both sides.

Of course, this happened more than 1000 years ago. Since the establishment of the city, each generation of residents has been working hard to transform the city. Undoubtedly, this transformation has been relatively successful.Today's Loushui City is the most beautiful city in the valley of Guangyao River (the main tributary of the upper reaches of the Delinbil River), with green grass on the river bank and shade trees on the head; many wooden buildings in the city are made of uncarved The log building was planted with vines and ivy until they seemed to be one piece, almost turning back into a forest.

The location of Noisy Water City is very superior. Above the city is the majestic Guangyao Waterfall, where the mighty and swift river drops nearly a hundred feet in an instant, forming a wide and gentle lake at the lower end.From this lake, it flows straight down to the estuary near the city of deep water. The entire Drinbil River—the Guangyao River channel is a good navigable area. The city of noisy water is just on the south bank of this lake. There is a magnificent arch bridge The water outlet across the lake connects the traffic on both sides.

There are very few elves left in Loudwater today, about a quarter of the city's local residents are half-elves, and most of the rest are humans (and a few dwarves).This small city with a total population of just over 4000 maintains an elite guard of more than 300 people, thus providing a well-guarded rest station for caravans and ships passing by. Most of the caravans and travelers on the trade route of Tilburg chose this place as the main transit point for rest and rest, and it also provided Huan Shui City with rich commercial income.

Although Noisy Water City is not big, the goods here are rich and varied. Whether it is a variety of bulk goods or various tools and materials necessary for adventure travel, almost all of them can be bought in shops in Noisy Water City.Moreover, there are all kinds of pubs, hotels, and carriage shops in this city, which provide good food, clothing and accommodation for business travelers.

When William's family walked into this city, even though they had seen the beauty of Silvermoon City long ago, they were still overwhelmed by this beautiful and lively city, because you have to understand a few homeless people walking alone Suddenly back to the excitement of the ethnic group.Misha'er and Miluna didn't bother to trouble the halfling Jerry anymore. These two little crazy girls were like colts having a good time, running wildly back and forth on the street while screaming wantonly, attracting a lot of attention. People around frequently looked sideways.

Of course, what is more eye-catching is the black Pegasus Mo Xiao beside William. Noisy Water City is not Silver Moon City. Flying horses like Pegasus and Hippogriff are still very rare here, especially Mo Xiao's unusual body. The color of Pegasus is mostly white, silver and light blue, and jet black Pegasus is extremely rare. Compared with Phinea's extraordinary height, it is not so eye-catching.

It seems that this is not the first time that the human businessman who accompanied William came to Noisy Water City. He was very familiar with leading the caravan's carriage through a gravel road and stopped in front of a carriage shop, which made William a little strange. What is strange is that the guards of the convoy were a little cautious when crossing the street, as if they were guarding against something.

Perhaps seeing William's doubts, the halfling Jess, who had been the butt of everyone's jokes along the way, kindly explained the reason for him. Jess pointed to the children playing in twos and threes around the street corner and said, "Look at those people! Mr. William , don't think they are really children, in fact, most of them are tall halflings (subspecies of halflings, taller than normal halflings), lightfoot halflings (that is, normal halflings), by the way, I'm a lightfooted halfling, too. There might be a few dwarves in there, they're thieves around here. Mr. Kermerton (the merchant of the convoy) could lose a good deal of his cargo if we're not careful. Mr. William, are you going to cross the Ennook Desert too?"

Jess had a very good impression of William, because William was the only one in the whole team who didn't sing and mock him. If he knew that the creator of the damn song "Jess is a Coward" was this seemingly gentle man in front of him, Jess would He would definitely not be able to resist stabbing the culprit to death with the hair on the soles of his feet, of course, if he didn't consider the difference in force between the two.

William looked down at Ren'er, the little man in front of him, and said with a smile, "Of course. I heard that it is not easy to cross that vast barren land. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Jess jumped a few times to avoid a pool of fresh horse manure on the ground. Don't worry that these excrements will pollute the city's environment. Every day at noon, a group of homeless children will collect the horse manure They can use these things to exchange for a small piece of low-quality black bread from the patrolling guards in the city.Speaking of this, I must thank the half-elf city lord who made this rule for the city in the early days. It was the wise decision of the city lord that made this city the second largest city in the entire Sword Coast region and the Northland after Silvermoon City. The second cleanest city (Silvermoon is clean because of magical powers).

"You humans are just too tall, Mr. William. You know that? I hate talking to people with my head up, though I have to do it most of the time. Where did we get? Oh! Crossing Enoch! What a brilliant idea, I've never seen a desert before, I hope she (the desert) doesn't annoy me like the sea." Jess lowered his voice to prevent others from hearing him Talk to William.

"Desert? Well..." William, who was contemplating, paused for a moment, and said in surprise, "Wait, didn't Kermerton say that you are from Calimshan? He also said that there is the only Calim Desert on the west coast? you……"

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

"Desert expert? Of course not! Actually, I've never been to the south at all, let alone Calimshan, I've never even been to Baldur's Gate. Please don't look at me that way, I never said that What kind of expert am I, it's just a language art..." The emotional halfling still knows the word "art", and Jess's broken mouth is really unexpected.

This is a cunning halfling. William made the first definition of the "three-inch man" in front of him. He smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in your background, and the nonsense you said is not in the way." Don't care about me." After speaking, William strode away and walked towards Kermerton who was greeting the owner of the carriage and horse shop.

"Wait! Mr. William—" Jess spread his short legs and chased after William, "how can this be okay? We are all going to the Ennook Desert! As a companion, I don't want to cheat……"

William stopped in his tracks and turned back with some amusement, "Wait! When did we become companions?"

The halfling who was in a hurry didn't expect William to stop suddenly. He couldn't stop for a while, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he bumped into William's thigh. Of course, William couldn't be hit by him with his skill. Dodge gently.Jess staggered a few steps before he stopped. He touched his head strangely, and asked in confusion, "Huh? Why doesn't it hurt at all? Could it be that he didn't hit it?"

William looked at this naughty little guy, smiled helplessly, turned and left.

The carriage and horse shops in Noisy Water City are basically close together. These carriage and horse shops not only provide stables for parking carriages and goods, but also provide simple accommodation for caravans. Of course, don’t expect high-end services here, because The reason for the cheap board and lodging is that there are basically everyone from all walks of life.However, it is still relatively competent in protecting the guests' goods, which is mainly due to the patrolling guards in this city, because the patrolling warriors of the guards are responsible for protecting the safety of the stables.

Out of some kind of "luxury" considerations, William didn't want to take his family together with a large group of wandering mercenaries in the carriage shop. Under the recommendation of the enthusiastic caravan leader, Kermerton, they chose a good one. stayed at the half-elf hotel.

In terms of food service, the standard of Noisy Water City is obviously higher than that of the hotel in Xikangbu, especially a kind of river fish, a local specialty.The current of the Guangyao River is very fast, the water quality is sweet and clear, and there are many edible fishes growing in the river, among which there is a kind of tan fish called by the locals, which looks very much like a salmon, and its meat is white and tender, almost It melts in the mouth and is a rare delicacy.Others such as special bacon cakes, steamed asparagus, sesame cakes, honey desserts, cranberry berry pies, stuffed bread, etc. are also relatively good delicacies.

William's family, who spent most of their time in the wild, let go of their cheeks, like a family of human-shaped gluttons who have been hungry for a lifetime, frantically sweeping up the delicacies on the table, Misha and Milu who love sweets Na's little face was covered with bright cranberry pulp, Yasuna and Finiya were even more exaggerated, the palm-sized special bacon cakes were two or three in one mouthful, and desserts or something directly grabbed the plate and went to The hotel waiter next to him was startled and his face was pale.

Mao Maochong was happily licking a plate of steamed sweetfish, wagging his little tail unhurriedly, and suddenly stretched out a chubby hand from under the table, and gave the little guy's delicious food, including the plate and fish, After copying it, Mao Maochong was taken aback for a moment. When it lowered its head and looked under the table, it found that it was a halfling who was a thief.Especially that halfling is still an "acquaintance" - Jess, who is complacently enjoying the delicacy that originally belonged to Maomaowong himself.

The fine hair on Mao Maochong's neck was fluffed up, and a pair of glazed eyes glared at the thieves and robbers under the table. It's so bold that the little guy dared to "cat" for food!The so-called "humans can bear cats can't bear it", the cat and cat insect will pounce on it with a "cat roar", and it will fight bravely for its own "happiness".

However, William ate very meticulously, as if he was savoring the connotation of the food specially. Every bite of food was ground finely under his teeth as hard as gold, including the bones of the squid.In fact, the best way to eat this kind of fish is to eat it as sashimi, but at William's insistence, he steamed the fish. He didn't want his group to be infected with some messy parasitic diseases, even if it The possibility is very subtle.

William had noticed the arrival of halfling Jess a long time ago, but he didn't take it to heart, because most of his attention was attracted by Celis opposite.Of course, it's not that Selyse's charm has suddenly become stronger, but that this woman has done something very irritating and sensational.

The tables in the hotel are not small, and it is absolutely no problem for a dozen people to sit on a table. Celis, who has always wanted to join William and his party, of course chose to sit with them, and seeing the familiar posture, no one doubts that they are not together.The problem is that William and his family are eating here as if no one else was around, but Selyse is holding a large piece of low-grade black bread that is as hard as a stone, grinding her teeth pitifully there, and judging from the dense tooth marks on the black bread, Anyone is absolutely convinced that this teeth grinding behavior is by no means the first time.

It is absolutely disgraceful to abuse a beautiful lady like this.Even if he is a bastard who is a prostitute and a thief in secret, he will try his best to maintain his demeanor on the surface, especially in front of a beautiful lady.Selyse is undoubtedly a very attractive and beautiful woman. William believes that as long as she speaks, most men will be willing to dedicate themselves to her. He has already felt the changes in the eyes of those males around him, and he believes that there will definitely be a change in the eyes of the males around him. The guy with the upper brain of the sperm jumped out to "fight the injustice".

Although William didn't care about those brainless guys, he didn't want to disturb the happy meal time of the little girl and the others. William stretched out his hand and made a gesture of "please enjoy together" to Selyse. Hugging her into her arms, she showed a nervous and pitiful expression, as if William was going to grab her bread again.

This woman is really good at acting, this action seduced the surrounding animals to tremble, and some of them were too excited to sit still and almost fell to the table.He even kicked his nose on his face!William raised his eyebrows and was about to go into a fit, but Selyse showed a smile that captivated all sentient beings. She threw the black bread in her hand on the table, jumped on the table with a cheer like a child, and threw the millet Sha'er snatched the honey dessert from Sha'er's hand, and stuffed it into her mouth with a smile.

The hard black bread was like a hammer, and it hit the table with a "bang", and at the same time it hit the hearts of everyone, causing large ripples.

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

Selyse's purpose of pretending to be pitiful was not to win sympathy, she was well aware of the rules of this world, and she also knew that this kind of trick would not do any good to change William's guard against her, but she did it anyway, and did it It's a bit nonsensical.William looked depressedly at Celis who was fighting for food with Misha and Miluna, shook his head and sighed secretly, then lowered his head and continued to eat slowly.

But the influence caused by Selyse's pity just now did not end. In this wild world where monsters are rampant, the restriction of morality on human nature is extremely fragile in some respects.For those mercenaries who are licking their blood, women, wine, and treasure are always the biggest motivation for them to pursue adventure.There is no doubt that Selyse is the kind of stunner who can trigger a pheromone riot. The performance just now caused some animals to be restless. The size of a person is daunting, but there are always one or two fools whose brains have been burned by alcohol to jump out to find it uncomfortable.

The half-elf hotel is famous for its elegant environment and considerate service. Some mercenaries who made a small fortune often come here to enjoy the so-called high-end enjoyment, while those down-and-out poor ghosts can only squat in the stables and smell the horse manure.And the Fatli mercenary team from Zhentil Castle is undoubtedly a small group favored by the goddess of luck. This mercenary team, once composed of nine powerful members, has just completed the crossing of the Great Desert of Ennook not long ago. Escorting work, although they lost a few capable members on the way, they also got a lot of money.

Fatli's mercenaries urgently need to replenish their team with new blood, and the most indispensable in this world are those young people who dream of taking risks and making money all day long.Not long ago, they recruited a good young man in Locke Town. He is brave and strong. Even if he faces a dozen goblins alone, he dares to rush up and fight. He can be regarded as a relatively reliable meat shield role.The premise is to ignore some small flaws on the young man. This guy is a bit grumpy, impulsive, and a bit greedy and lustful, and often causes some minor troubles.

In fact, these small problems are common to almost all young mercenaries.

"Lambert! Sit down, don't cause us any more trouble!" Fatli's mercenaries tried to dissuade their companions, but Lambert, who had already been fascinated by alcohol, couldn't listen at all, and he staggered a little. Getting rid of the pull of his companion, he walked towards William with his red eyes swaying.

With the deepening of his cultivation, William's senses have become more and more sensitive to the point beyond ordinary people's imagination. Almost all the movements in the hotel hall cannot escape his perception. Of course, he discovered Lambert immediately. A special provocation.However, he didn't take this drunken mercenary to heart. William still ate the food on the plate unhurriedly, but twisted a small ball of honey syrup with his left hand, flicked it under the table, The honey paste flew out without a sound, and landed right under the foot of the mercenary Lambert.

Lambert, who was walking a bit unsteadily, only felt his feet slipped, and with a "ba chi" he made a big split on the spot, and at the same time as the "ba chi" there was a relatively slight "click". Except for William, there are not many people who can hear this little noise clearly, but another voice is very high-pitched.

"Aw—!!" There is no doubt that this is Lambert playing "Howling the Wolf at the Hotel" with affection, the emotional devotion, the standard of expression-such a standard one-word horse, it is simply amazing.

Lambert's "performance" was really shocking, and everyone in the hotel was attracted by him.Anyone who saw clearly the appearance of this good young man couldn't help but gasp.

"Hey——" Especially those men whose bodies are not flexible enough have a kind of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox, and they can't help clamping their thighs.The members of the Fatli were taken aback by the unexpected split of their companions, and they hurriedly got up and left their seats to help Lambert.

But, "Oh-oh-oh!" Lambert was like a little singer who was practicing his high-pitched voice, constantly changing his tone with the support of his companions, howling until his face turned green and his legs were limp. Like noodles just can't stand up.

Misha, Miluna, Yasuna, Phinea, and Celis watched Lambert's performance curiously or amusedly. The halfling Jess who was hiding under the table had just defeated the cat. While comfortably eating the remaining booty on the plate, he glanced out occasionally and muttered in a low voice: "Ah! I guess it must hurt."

Misha'er had long been trained by William to practice the splits like walking. She was a little confused, and turned her head to ask: "Brother, what's wrong with that big man?"

William secretly wiped off the residue of honey on his hands, and said with a slight smile, "It's nothing, he's splitting too much, and he's practicing howling as a werewolf." The little girl shook her head to express that she couldn't understand, but William I don't want to explain either.
