The Swordsman of Faerûn

During the past few days, whenever he stayed at the camp, William spent most of the night meditating with his Qiushuidao in his arms. He was using a special secret method almost hypnotic in [Buffalo Strength] to adjust his spirit, strengthen his will, and prepare for the future. Prepare for the danger to come.So when waking up every morning, Misha'er and the others suddenly felt that William seemed to have become another person, with a majestic, sharp and threatening edge, and this feeling became more and more serious day by day. People have the illusion that what is standing in front of them is not a person, but a sharp sword.

It took only three days from Locke Town to Graywind Valley, but William and his party walked for seven days.When they saw the iconic half stone tower at the entrance of Graywind Valley, the aura on William's body was so sharp that people dared not look directly at it, and there was a feeling of a blade covering the face at a glance.Misha'er looked at William timidly but stubbornly, and asked in panic, "William? Are you... still William? I... I'm afraid..."

At this time, William's face was as hard as thousands of years of granite. He could no longer comfort the little girl as gently as usual, but could only say in a voice as cold as gold: "I'm fine! Move your eyes away." , If you continue to look at it like this, you will destroy yourself. Finia, take care of Misha, and don’t let her approach me for the time being.” To be honest, William didn’t expect to use that secret method again in this life to be so overbearing. He had used it many times when he was a mercenary in his previous life, each time it just made him calmer, his intuition sharper, and his hands more cold-blooded and efficient.

Unlike this time, William felt that his whole body seemed to have become a terrifyingly efficient machine, and almost the smallest things in his sight could not escape him—well, the word "scanning" is more appropriate, just Scan like a humanoid radar.Even where the eyes can't see, as long as there is something unusual, William can almost sense it. He can even sense a few small insects wriggling in the soil under the ground under his feet, and the grass not far away. In the nest, a small rodent is nibbling at the tender grass roots.The ants on the ground, the reptiles on the leaves...almost none of them could escape William's unimaginable perception.

Through the secret method, William's senses have been raised to a limit far beyond the limits of ordinary people, and at the same time his mood swings have been suppressed to the point of disappearing. The whole person is as indifferent as a cold robot, but he can still think. You can judge right from wrong, but a little too rational.

There is another point that William did not expect, that is, his body emits a kind of mental fluctuation all the time, attacking any existence that approaches him, although the damage of the attack is very small, even Misha'er just feels a little uncomfortable That's all, of course, once this kind of damage continues, it will inevitably cause real cumulative damage to the soul, just like his secret skill [Soul Storm].William didn't know whether this situation was normal, and he didn't have any experience and data to compare and judge. Fortunately, as long as he was more than ten steps away from himself, the damage was negligible. William could only keep others away from him.

But what is amazing is that Xiaomi Luna almost completely ignored the abnormality on William. Thinking back, even [Soul Storm] had no effect on this little girl, this small situation is even more important to her. It's nothing.Therefore, Xiaomi Luna still drags William's fingers as usual, or is held by William, and sometimes she even proudly holds William's neck and makes a funny face at Misha, which makes a certain little girl The girl was extremely upset, and she shed tears a few times because of grievances. Of course, most of the time, Miluna would look up at the sky with her little head in William's arms.

The Gray Wind Valley was not formed naturally, the entire mountain wall was a distorted section after being torn apart, it was more like a gap that was smashed into the middle of the Gray Wind Mountain Range by something.It is said that in the catastrophe at the end of the Netherese Empire, the largest floating city crashed here. Thousands of years have passed, and the proud Netherilians of the year have turned into a With the deposition of history, there are only some stone tower-like remnants left at the mouth of the valley.

When William and his party walked into the Stone Tower Forest, they were almost completely shocked by these ancient ruins.These stone towers brought them an indescribable visual impact, like a quiet virgin land suddenly popping up in the middle of the bustling and noisy city, and a modern steel building emerging from the deep mountains and old forests where snakes and foxes are rampant.

These stone pagodas look like they are made of stone, but in essence they are a kind of magical foreign material. Even after thousands of years of wind and sun, they are still intact with almost no flaws. They are as smooth as dark blue jade. The inside of the tower is inlaid with complex and mysterious ancient patterns.

Legend has it that these stone towers are the magic barriers used by the gods to block the Felin Mokui, but many people who know the truth about the Felin Mokui know that this is a wrong conclusion, because it is another group of monsters that really sealed the group of monsters—— Lun Jingwei.

For thousands of years, many people have thought about these things. Among them are kingdoms, lords, great warriors and heroes, mysterious law-controllers, and powerful beings from other worlds... But without exception, they have nothing to do with these stone towers.

These stone towers are not only magical, but also dangerous. Once a powerful lord wanted to monopolize this magical stone tower. He built a strong castle around the stone tower as a barrier, but one day when he woke up, But he found that his castle was transferred to an unknown plane, surrounded by a large group of ferocious alien monsters.After a long period of nothing, the vast majority of people had to give up their coveting of this stone tower.

However, if someone passes by here, it will be fine, and there are very few monsters blocking the road near the stone tower. The broken valley behind the stone tower is also the most convenient way to cross the Gray Wind Mountain Range. This forest of stone towers has also become a unique one on the black road scenery.

Facing the mysterious stone pagoda forest, these few "country folks" all stared at the mysterious stone pagoda forest, just like grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden. of.William was also surprised by the existence of these strange stone towers, but he didn't have the mood to investigate carefully now, he was concerned about another thing - a group of uninvited guests blocking the way.

Behind the stone tower is the Gray Wind Gap, and a group of soldiers in purple robes and iron armor are standing in the middle of the gorge. These soldiers with swords, shields and crossbows look very similar to the purple robed guards in Locke Town, but their temperament is more important. They are more stern and fierce, and their equipment is better, but they are a group of iron-blooded men who have experienced many battles.

Leaving the women and girls to continue to marvel in the stone tower forest, William walked slowly to the front of the canyon with the autumn water knife, and looked coldly at the purple-robed iron-clad soldiers who blocked the way without saying a word, and the purple-robed soldiers were also silent That's right, they stood in silence for a long time, and it wasn't until the four Phinyas came out of the stone tower forest that the atmosphere of silence was broken.The four of them didn't expect someone to confront William here. Yasuna couldn't help but stepped forward and asked loudly, "Who are you?"

The silent purple-robed warriors remained silent, but a portal opened out of nowhere in the void behind them, and an elderly man wearing a black silk robe inlaid with gorgeous gold trim, with a gloomy and cold face, walked out of it.As soon as the old man appeared, with William's keen intuition, he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis from the body of the old man who didn't look strong.And William also noticed a detail. Although the old man looked a little old on the outside, his skin was almost as white, delicate and lustrous as the young girl.

Of course, there was one more thing that William didn't ignore, and Yasuna said it out in surprise: "Who are you? How can you use the teleportation spell safely?"

The old man with a gloomy and cold face just sneered, and did not answer directly, but ordered in a very arrogant voice: "Ants! Hand over Da Sophilia, and I may consider sparing your lives." At the same time, his His eyes flicked to the back of William, where there were two little girls hiding rather uneasy.

The old man's dark eyes passed through William's barrier, and he shot at the black-haired and black-eyed Mi Luna with great enthusiasm. He teased with a little fanaticism: "Da Sophilia, the teacher I used to fear most, I miss you How arrogant and arrogant, even the gods outside the sky have never been taken seriously by you. Looking at you now, you are so despondent that you need to pretend to be a child. When you killed the rebel of the goddess - Er De When you were in Rahn, being betrayed by Azuse again, you must feel very uncomfortable, right?"

"I really didn't expect that the one above would allow Elminster to take you in secretly. No wonder you haven't been found for centuries. But you will still fall into the hands of my lord, dear Darling Teacher Sophilia..." The old man who appeared suddenly ignored William and the others who were with Miluna, even though there were two frost giants among them.

The person who called Miluna Da Sophilia said something to himself, but unfortunately, Xiao Miluna didn't mean to answer his words, and still hid behind William with Misha and watched the fun with cold eyes.

"Have you forgotten the past? It's really sad, the former Shadow Lady - Da Sophilia, the former Demon Devourer - Slade Linna, the former..." The old man was quite self-defeating. Laughing at a certain once-very-status existence again, he changed his tone and shouted arrogantly: "I am the servant of Bane, the Lord of Darkness, the black-clothed archbishop of Zhentil Castle Cathedral, and the manager of the Tomb Castle— —Mage Tempus Blackthorne with powerful abilities and important status! Ants, you will welcome the embrace of the Lord of Death."

While talking, Blackthorne took out a staff with a large ruby ​​inlaid on the top from his back and held it in his right hand, while he held a small cluster of powder in his left hand and gestured a few gestures. A large fireball with a diameter of several feet was instantly shot out from the fingertips and flew towards William and the others.Everyone knows that one of the frost giant's weaknesses is fire damage, but it seems that he wants to get rid of William's family in one go.

It's a pity that attacking William with fire spells is a futile joke. Besides, the speed of the big fireball is not very fast, and it is about the same speed as the arrows shot by ordinary crossbows. Especially the big fireball is much bigger than the arrow, so look It was a little slow to get up, and William leaned forward very lightly, smashing and destroying the big fireball with one knife.

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

Since coming to this world, William's most proud skill is naturally his invincible martial arts, but what William looks forward to the most is the power of the blood of fire in him.You must know that the fundamental purpose of cultivation is to surpass the limit of ordinary people, but this "limit" is not so easy to break, and it is undoubtedly an excellent choice to use unconventional power like the blood of fire.

Due to the variation and evolution of his own blood power, it can be said that what William is most afraid of is being attacked by fire spells. When the fireball shot by Blackthorne approached, William could even clearly perceive the violent energy contained in the fireball, the kind that was about to erupt. Internal changes and weaknesses.Yes, it is a weakness. Every spell has its specific energy singularity. It is because of the existence of this energy singularity that some experienced spellcasters have mastered a special spell called [Spell Counter]. Skill.

Although William didn't understand the profound knowledge about [Spell Counter] and energy singularity, his incomparable intuition allowed him to vaguely touch the weakness of the big fireball, coupled with his powerful spiritual power and fire resistance With his ability, William easily dispersed the fireball.

William's blow was beyond Blackthorne's expectation. He exclaimed: "How is it possible? Da Sophilia, your usual partiality has never changed. It was like this before, and it is still so annoying now. But You're not as lucky this time as last time."

Blackthorne, on the other hand, interfered with William's ability to break spells. Under normal circumstances, he only needs to release a small, even zero-level non-fire trick, and he will discover the mystery. Of course, he may not be able to discover anything, after all. On Misha'er's head is also wearing a big killer that belongs to the nightmare of all spellcasters.Blackthorne's face was full of infinite jealousy. Instead of continuing to release offensive spells, he waved his arm at the purple-robed armored guard and said fiercely, "Rush up and kill them! Except for that black-haired Little girl, don't leave a single one behind."

Not all the purple-robed warriors stepped forward, they left four companions to guard Blackthorne, and a dozen of them formed a fan formation with great tacit understanding, and slowly surrounded William's family with their swords and shields erect.These people were not irritated because of the large number of people on their side, but cautiously step by step, pressing hard, step by step compressing the space for William and others to move.

William's originally stern face became more serious, and he grabbed Misha who was a little clueless and wanted to get closer. He knew that this time the opponent might be a little tricky, of course, for other people, every time Opponents are tricky.William took the two little ones back quickly. Facing these elite fighters, he was not sure that the Yasuna mother and daughter from the mountains could protect them, who were almost cumbersome, and the frost giant, who was too straightforward, was more suitable for attacking.In fact, William is also a fighter who tends to attack in essence, but "the tall one is taller than the dwarf", it is better for him to be a bodyguard himself than those two girls.

Thanks to the life of a savage wandering in the wilderness all year round, Finia is always the most impulsive and wild one. She strode forward with Thunder Frost in her hand, and swiped her ax at the tallest figure holding a half-human tall metal tower shield. The big and burly man in purple robe chopped down.The brawny man was extremely majestic, even more fierce than William in terms of appearance alone, and the kite-shaped metal shield he used seemed thicker and stronger than his companions.He may have possessed natural divine power comparable to that of a hill giant, not only did he not dodge Phinia's attack, but he directly greeted it with his shield.

The choice of the purple-robed man was undoubtedly a fatal mistake. He underestimated the power of the Thunder Frost created by the dwarf master with all his strength. The sharp gold battle ax easily sliced ​​through the thick tower shield like tofu. Open, and cut off the arms of the shield bearer, followed by the magic power from this magical treasure, a ball of lightning was instantly generated from the end of the Thunder Frost, burning the purple-robed warrior who lost his arms into a corpse in the blink of an eye A corpse smoking faintly.

Feniya succeeded in one blow, and really frightened the enemies who were about to besiege her. Their advancing figures paused uncontrollably, and their movements appeared to be much more cautious.However, Finia's battle results ended here. When she continued to attack another purple-robed shield warrior bravely, the purple-robed warrior had already known the power of the battle ax in her hand, so naturally she would not continue to foolishly head-on.

Instead, the purple-robed warrior took a small step back, tilted the battle shield in his hand slightly, and slapped the side of Thunder Frost, only to hear a harsh metal tearing sound, although the battle shield in the purple-robed warrior's hand A big gap was cut, and he himself was numb from the lightning force brought by the Thunder Frost, his tongue was stiff, his hands were bloody from the huge collision force, and he staggered and sat on the ground. , but also blocked Finia's offensive, and at the same time created opportunities for his companions to attack.

The two purple-robed warriors quickly rushed forward to Finia's side, each with their shields slammed into the side of the female half-giant to divert Finia's attention, and one of them rushed forward and stabbed with a sword.Facing the enemy's pincer attack, Finia shouted angrily and was about to rely on his body to fight back. Yasuna, who was behind, had already rushed forward with a powerful shield attack, and sent a purple-robed warrior who pinched Finya back backwards. Immediately, the tomahawk in his hand faced the assassin who was rushing forward to force the opponent back, and the flanker on the other side saw that there was nothing to do, took the initiative to take a step back and waited for the next attack.

Yasuna guarded Phinya's side, and said in a deep voice: "Little Fini (the frost giant's nickname for Finya), be careful of the despicable weapons of humans, those swords may be coated with poison." Poison is not the first creation of humans. Even elves (especially drow) are earlier and more popular than humans in this regard, but I don’t know why when it comes to poisoning weapons, most of Faerun’s wisdom It is human beings that come first to race.

But Yasuna was right this time. The weapons in the hands of this group of purple-robed warriors from Zhentil Castle were indeed poisoned. As the elite armed forces directly under the Temple of the Lord of Darkness, their standard equipment should have added Magic weapons with the power of death, but the abnormality of the magic network makes almost most of the magic weapons lose their magic power, and poisoning has become another good choice for the warriors of Bane Temple.

Both combat experience and life experience, Yasuna is much richer than Finia. She cooperates with Finia to push away the besieging purple-robed warriors again and again, trying not to let the opponent's weapons hurt the two of them.Compared with ordinary humans, the two giants' incomparable giant power repelled the besiegers again and again, especially the Thunder Frost in Finia's hands, which made the enemies fearful.But these people are like tarantulas weaving a web to prey, they cooperate with each other tacitly like one person, tossing and moving, constantly entangled and tempted, looking for opportunities to strike from time to time, making it difficult for the mother and daughter to stretch their hands and feet.

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

William escorted the two children back to a stone tower more than a dozen steps away, and was not in a hurry to join the battle or run away with them.William glanced slightly at the situation on the field. Yasuna and Finia were already in a desperate situation. It wasn't that the two were not strong enough. In fact, if they fought to the death regardless of everything, this group of dark men from the Moon Sea The fighters will definitely have to pay a huge price, but they also deliberately control the rhythm of the harassment, so that it is difficult for the two of them to fully stretch even if they have no strength.

William emphatically told the two little girls to stay well and not run around, especially Misha who didn't know the importance of the situation. After all, this level of fighting is definitely not comparable to goblin robbers.Seeing the two little guys hugging the cat and worm and nodding obediently, William took off the war bow that was specially carried on his back, and set up the bow to support Yasuna and Finia.

At this time, the purple-robed warriors from Zhentil Castle also began to prepare to kill the Yasuna mother and daughter, because as the leader, Blackthorne was already a little impatient.He shouted loudly: "You idiots, kill those two bitches quickly! I don't have so much time here to watch you play!"

Under Blackthorne's scolding, the purple-robed soldiers who were besieging immediately sped up their movements, and some of them even took off the crossbows on their backs to shoot and kill the enemy, but William moved faster and loosened one of his hands. The arrow shot out quickly, piercing through the face of a purple-robed warrior who was about to aim at Finia.In fact, William's arrow skills are not very good. In essence, it is nothing more than strong eyesight, steady hands, and precise control of strength. If you really want him to do some technical tricks, you can't do it.But when he exploded with all his strength, the arrows he shot formed a terrifying effect comparable to arrow rain. The three purple-robed warriors were shot to death one after another by surprise, even if the rest of the people were away from Yasuna and Fei. Except for those who were too close to Niya, most of them were injured by arrows.

William shouted while shooting arrows: "Yasuna, Finia, go back first!" After experiencing many hardships along the way, William's prestige in the hearts of the mother and daughter of the frost giants has already reached the sky, and even if they are besieged like this Unwilling, but at this moment they heard the words but also ignored the resentment in their hearts, covering each other and preparing to retreat.

Blackthorn, however, refused to watch William's family reunite. He screamed, "Go up! Stop them, don't let them run away! Damn it..." The dark mage mobilized all his men Step forward to attack, while starting to prepare spells for support.

The spells are so mysterious, and in many cases, they may not have much lethality, but the effect they cause is deadly.The second-level enchantment spell [Energy Exhaustion]—makes the subject exhausted; the first-level enchantment spell [Disruption Attack]—makes the subject panic and cower, and is caught off guard; the second-level enchantment spell [Tasha] Maniacal Laughing Technique] - The subject falls into a state of uncontrollable laughter.None of them were considered difficult spells, but the combination of these three small spells almost ruined Finia's life.

The so-called shooting the first bird is universal in every place. Finia, who is holding the Thunder Frost, is very brave. Even if he is trapped by the enemy, every blow will make the enemy panic and it is almost impossible to resist. Blacksaw En's first target was on her.

When Blackthorne completed the spell-casting procedure of [Energy Exhaustion], Finia suddenly felt as if he had lost all his strength, exhausted and sleepy, and the battle ax that was originally as light as a child's arm became as heavy as a mountain.The female half-giant is no stranger to this feeling of despair, and the terrible nightmare is still imprinted deep in her heart. It was not long after the death of Finia's barbarian father, and she was still young when she was killed by his father. Ruthlessly exiled by his own race, he was chased by a group of ferocious wolves for a day and a night in the midst of hunger and cold, exhausted, and struggled several times.

Due to the influence of spells and the nightmare in his heart, Finia's movements inevitably slowed down, and several purple-robed warriors took the opportunity to attack.Yasuna saw that something was going wrong and was about to step forward to intercept it. Blackthorne's second spell [Disruption Attack] followed immediately, and Yasuna's movements also froze slightly. Although the former leader of the female frost giant relied on her powerful Will resisted this first-level spell, but her movements were also affected after all.

The poisoned sword pierced through the line of defense of the two, piercing Finia's skin, and the deadly toxin began to invade and spread along the wound in an instant.Shocked and angry, Yasuna couldn't help shouting angrily: "Little Fei Ni!"

A bone-piercing chill began to pervade Yasuna's body, and the water vapor in the air was also condensed into frosty air. The surrounding purple-robed warriors suddenly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. up.Yasuna roared and drove away the purple-robed warrior who had stabbed Finia, and tried to save her daughter by strengthening the ice field around her with all her strength to isolate the enemy.

In this world, there are not only material poisons, but also many strange, invisible energy poisons and spiritual poisons. Even the power of some gods can be regarded as a kind of poison.These special poisons are very deadly, and some can even kill a powerful dragon, and there are even toxins that even the gods cannot resist.What Blackthorne's subordinates used was a very powerful special poison, which mixed Bane's divine power and poison secretions from the alien plane, and it had terrible lethality against humanoid creatures on the main material plane.In order to enhance the effect, Blackthorn applied [Tasha Laughter Technique] to Phinya's body to reduce the resistance of the female half-giant.

The deadly purple color began to spread from the wound to Finya's whole body. Although Fenya tried to resist this process, she was about to mobilize the ice crystal power in her body, but after a burst of trembling, Fenya couldn't control herself and began to laugh wildly , which made her almost completely lose her ability to resist, and the spread of the toxin began to accelerate.

William was also terrified, and he roared, "Finia!"

"Misha! Activate it, and I will kill these bastards!" Of course William was talking about the corner of Cole. After so many adventures, combined with many untrue legends of Faerun, William's opinion of Cole The horn began to doubt.If possible, he did not want the mysterious and unfathomable Horn of Cole to continue to be used by Misha, after all, there were many people who were led astray by intelligent artifacts (or magical artifacts) in legend.

William noticed some abnormal changes in Misha'er's personality. She was impulsive, reckless, and aggressive, which was completely different from the delicate and fragile girl she was before.

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

There will never be a shortage of stories in Faerûn that were lured to perdition by evil magical items out of greed for power, such as the Crown of Horns, Crystal Shard-Crinthnibon, Claw of Charon, and many more.For some reason, these frightening legends that originally belonged to secrets are widely circulated among ordinary people, which causes people who don't know the inside story to always be very wary of items with magical powers.

In the field of magical items, William's family are basically laymen. Hearing too many negative legends about this aspect, William inevitably thinks about the changes of the rebellious little girl who is going into adolescence, so he asked Xiaomi Shar is not allowed to wear the Horn of Cole under normal circumstances.

Of course, it is not that William has tried wearing it himself. After all, the ability of Cole's horn is indispensable in this escort trip, but apart from Misha'er, even Miluna, who has infinite secrets on her body, cannot Give full play to the half point effect of this artifact.

For the spellcasters of Faerun, the ability of the Horn of Cole is really a nightmare. Mishaer just put on the exquisitely shaped little horned helmet and unfolded the magical ability of the artifact. Finia could not restrain herself. The wild laughter stopped, and the lost physical strength also returned to the body, but the deadly toxin was still spreading. Although Finia's body also had the power of frost, it still couldn't expel the deadly poison that contained the power of death.

At this time, Phinya sat down on the ground in pain, enduring the erosion of toxins in his body, and the surrounding purple-robed warriors swarmed up when they saw the opportunity. They turned the poison-enhanced sword in their hands, stabbed forward suddenly, and then retracted. , and stab forward a little higher, Yasuna defended her daughter desperately with left and right, if not for the help of the ice field, any enemy who stepped into the field would be slowed down by the biting cold, she would have stepped up Even so, Phinya's footsteps are in jeopardy.

At this time, Yasuna did not dare to restore her giant body, because even though she gained some strength and stamina, her reaction ability would be much slower.Yasuna knocked a protruding purple-robed warrior back with her shield, and turned her head and shouted loudly: "William! Come and help me, Phinya is about to die!"

William shot two more arrows, killing a purple-robed warrior who was driven away by Yasuna.At this time, excluding those who were killed and those who were seriously injured, there were only a dozen or so purple-robed warriors with real combat power, and four of them were guarding Blackthorne closely. No one arrives.

William abandoned his bow and drew his knife, and leaped out instantly with his legs. He was as powerful as a tiger and as fast as a leopard. In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the battle group. The light of the knife flashed, and a purple-robed soldier was beheaded.The purple-robed warriors who did not form a battle formation were greatly reduced in William's eyes. The Qiushui knife in his hand slashed rapidly, seven times in the blink of an eye.

The two purple-robed warriors were about to continue to besiege Yasuna when they suddenly felt the wind blowing behind them, and a sense of trembling swept over their bodies, but before they could react, the severe pain that penetrated their souls overwhelmed their consciousness , and their bodies have long been chopped into broken pieces of meat.

Like an agile mountain leopard plunging into a herd of domestic pigs, no one can stop William, who is faster than the wind, a purple-robed warrior suddenly turned around, and was about to lift his shield to resist, Qiu Shui Dao still broke through the space and cut his body Throat, cut off his neck, a cavity of vigorous blood sprayed several feet high from the severed head.

William killed one more person, and finally the remaining three purple-robed warriors who were still able to fight saw that the situation was not good, and immediately gave up fighting and began to retreat.But William didn't want to let them go. He rushed up in two or three steps, and killed the trailing enemy from behind with a single blow. Seeing that they couldn't escape, the other two shouted angrily and turned around to fight back. Their swords waved frantically. , but the shield in his hand still cautiously guards his soft chest and abdomen.

William took a short step, easily passed through the opponent's defense, and punched an enemy in the face with his left hand, blasting and shattering the bridge of the opponent's nose, gums and eyeballs, including his brain, of course.The Dream Broken Knife in William's right hand pierced the lung of another person, and the poor purple-robed soldier howled and sprayed blood in pain under the soul-corroding pain of the Dream Broken Knife.

Yasuna did not chase after her, and now she is more anxious to save her daughter Phinya. The leader of the female frost giant first used [Slow Poison] on Phinia, intending to stop the poison from eroding Phinia, but The effects of toxins with powerful curses were not affected much.Anxious, Yasuna used a more advanced [Neutralize Poison] on Finia. This magical spell can make the subject immune to poison, and the poison on the poisoned subject will also be removed, but Although the spread of the toxin on Phinya's body has slowed down, it still cannot be driven away.

Yasuna tried several other spells that she could use, but none of them worked very well. She shouted in panic: "William, I can't save her, the poison on Finia is too powerful, she might dying."

William looked back at Yasuna coldly, without showing any impatience, he said indifferently: "Protect Finia first, I have a way to treat her." He turned his head and walked towards Blackthorne go.

The powerful mage from Zhentil Castle has discovered the fact that his spells are banned. Although he was terrified in his heart, he didn't show it on the surface.He said fiercely to William and the others: "I admit that you are all a group of powerful guys, and you are all very difficult to deal with. But today you are dead, because you have caused trouble that you shouldn't have caused. Bane, the Lord of Darkness, is here Come on, come out my servants!"

William suddenly felt something strange in the sky above his head. He looked up and saw several huge gargoyles viciously looking down from a height of dozens of feet.They were statues of several humanoid lizard warriors—perhaps some kind of golems. These unnatural magical monsters had hard stone skin, tall bodies, and terrifying long claws. At first glance, it feels like they are born killing machines.

William sneered and said: "Do you think they can do anything to us? You are dead! Although I don't know who you are, and no matter what your identity is, there is still some goddamn god protecting you. You must Will die by my sword."

Speaking of which, William took out something from the space ring in his hand and threw it to Yasuna without hesitation, and said without looking back: "Use this to save Phinya! I don't think there is any need to teach you how to use it, Protect the two little girls for a while."

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

"That's... that's... how is it possible?" Looking at the things William threw out casually, Blackthorne, who was about to appreciate the gargoyle torturing the enemy, almost burst his eyeballs, and he stared greedily. The rose-purple crystals in the eyes were full of surprise and disbelief.

Prayer coins, the rarest hard currency between the planes (the most commonly used hard currency is the soul fragments of intelligent creatures), even the gods cannot refuse their temptation, this precious little thing can only be found in the star world There is only a very small amount of production, so it is also called star diamond.No one would have thought that there were so many prayer coins hidden in the humble city of Mirabar back then.

Here I have to say that the Marquis of the Larim family in the past is simply useless to the extreme.A perfect and priceless top-level [Prayer] once every hundred years. If these wishing coins can be used well, the Larim family can have a talented leader and build a big country comparable to ancient Netheril. Empires were not out of the question; a human kingdom dominating the Sword Coast wasn't impossible, if at all.It's a pity that until now the Larim family is still just the lord of a small town in the desolate northland, and was even taken over by William's concubine, a couple of "dogs and men" for nothing.

The so-called common man is not guilty, but pregnant is guilty.Of course, it cannot be absolutely said that there is nothing wrong with the Larim family's inaction. If they are really too flamboyant, no one can be sure that the Larim family will continue to the present, and the possibility of being wiped out is also very high. Bigger, after all, there are many incomprehensible powerful existences in this world.

The method of using the wish crystal coin is very simple, as long as you hold the crystal with both hands, clarify the wish you want to realize silently (this is a little different from the spell [Pray], when using the spell [Pray], you need to speak loudly Saying your wish, from this point of view, praying for crystal coins is definitely the only magic weapon to frame the shady people, as long as this wish is within the range that can be achieved by the [Wishing Technique], it will definitely be able to change the reality to satisfy you .

Seeing Yasuna holding the disc-sized wishing crystal coin with both hands, she chanted silently to Finia on the ground. After a purple light flashed, the originally dazzling purple star diamond turned into a colorless transparent crystal. , but Phinya, who was dying of poisoning before, was already intact.Shocked, Blackthorne screamed as if his heart had been gouged out, "No! Damn it! That's Star Diamond, you country bugs! How dare you use it like that... ...she should be mine..."

"I'm going to kill you, manipulate your bodies, imprison your souls and wail forever in the river of Styx..." Blackthorne cursed frantically, ordering the gargoyles on standby in the sky to swoop down. The means to punish these prodigal sons.

Why is the prayer crystal coin so attractive?The reason is simple, [Prayer] is the most ultimate, mysterious and difficult to control magic among the existing recorded magic, only the powerful mage who has reached the end of the existing magic road will have the opportunity to come into contact with it Such a miraculous magic, but even with their deep understanding of magic, it is also unable to effectively explain this magic. [Prayer] is a spell that cannot be explained logically.

Perhaps, as some mages say, magic is the combination of reason and passion. A person who does not understand logic cannot become a mage, but a rigid person who can only think logically and lacks passion will never be able to become a mage. Become a brilliant mage.

[Prayer] is not praying to any god, and it is not any known god that fulfills the wish of the caster. (Some people suspect that the wish spell leads to an unknown god.) What satisfies the wish of the caster is more like some kind of omnipresent supreme existence in the dark.This is somewhat similar to the "Day of Heaven" in the Eastern population. He is not a specific god with a name, but the omnipresent "Heaven".

Within a certain range, [Wish] can be said to be omnipotent, for example, duplicating any sorcerer or mage spell whose spell level is not higher than eighth level, or duplicating any other spell whose spell level is not higher than sixth level, as long as It is not of your forbidden school; copy any sorcerer or wizard spell of [-]th level or lower, or any other spell of [-]th level or lower, even if it is your forbidden school; remove Most detrimental spell effects, such as Gesture or Insanity, remove injury or ailments (including but not limited to sickness, poison, stun.); can resurrect the dead by duplicating resurrection, and even creatures whose corpses have been destroyed, But this requires two [wish spells], one to restore the corpse and the other to revive it.

[Prayer] can create non-magic and magic items of a certain value, or add new abilities to existing magic items, and can also add a certain ability to the creature itself (for a certain attribute of the creature, an internal bonus of +1 is given. value, while casting 2 to 5 wishes in a row grants a +2 to +5 intrinsic bonus to the same ability score). [Wish] can also teleport creatures from any place on any plane to any destination, regardless of the local environment.You can also cancel a recent event, for example, you stepped on dog shit when you went out, as long as you use [Pray], you will find that there is no dog shit on your feet, and you are not on the dog shit (Of course, there is a certain possibility that when you look up, another pool of bird droppings falls from the sky).

[Prayer Technique] can cause any of the above effects, and can even produce stronger effects than the above, but these are all at a price.Many times if you are too greedy, your wish may be literally fulfilled, but it is not the result you expected at all, or only part of it is fulfilled.

There are many people in this world who can use the top-level [Prayer], gods, devils, powerful mages and warlocks, and some ancient creatures, but no one's [Wish] is perfect.For example, an old man who is aging and dying has only ten days left to live. If he wants to use a powerful existence to perform [Prayer] so that he can live for a few more years, if it is the gods, they may reject this kind of unnatural The requirements of the law (note that it is not the gods responding to the wish, but the [Wishing]), and although the devil will promise to give him ten years of vitality and use the [Wishing] to revive the old man, but he will be in ten years. An accident within a few days caused the old man to die earlier.This is not because the devil is cunning and dishonest, but rather a kind of hidden balance.

However, the wish crystal coin does not have these shortcomings, and the [wish technique] activated by it will not have these sequelae. In a sense, it directly changes the cause and effect, the three highest realms of time, space, and fate. Some people say it It is the embodiment of the law of destiny, whether it is a mortal or a divine being, it is full of desire for it.

In fact, there are only a very small number of people in Faerun who are qualified to know that there is such a thing as a wishing crystal coin. They try their best to hide the relevant information and deliberately reduce the number of people who know. When Bi made a wish, he would also think that it was due to the favor of the goddess of luck or his own illusion, rather than the credit of the color-changing crystal in his hand. After all, there were no special signs in the process of the [Prayer Art] working.

So when the gargoyles rushed down, William found that their first target was not anyone on his side, but the four remaining purple-robed warriors around Blackthorne.As semi-constructed earth-type magical creatures, gargoyles are very strange and weird existences. If they are not life, they can eat, have thoughts and communicate with language, and it is their privilege to show off to each other. Great fun, don't be too surprised if you come across a bunch of gargoyles bragging and spanking each other because that's normal.But in essence, gargoyles don't need food, water or air to survive, they just want to torture their enemies and eat them on purpose.

The absolute strength of the gargoyles far exceeds that of humans. Although they are still inferior to giants, but with their rock-like bodies, they can easily tear the armor of the purple-robed warrior.The unsuspecting purple-robed warriors never expected that Blackthorne would attack them, and were killed by gargoyles one after another by surprise.

The gargoyle that killed the purple-robed warrior didn't stop, and then rushed towards William and the others not far away.William was the first to fight this kind of monster. Compared with the previous purple-robed warriors, although these gargoyles were stronger individually, they were easier for him to deal with.William took a small step back to avoid the impact of the gargoyle at the front. The extremely sharp autumn water knife stretched out and dragged lightly, and half of the gargoyle's wing and one claw were cut off at the root. The special lethality of Qiushui Knife, this monster that had almost no pain feeling felt the pain that penetrated the soul for the first time, and the gargoyle wailed representing pain for the first time, this poor monster fell over uncontrollably because of the loss of balance It kept rolling on the ground.

With the characteristics of the gargoyle, even if only the head is left, it can still fight to the death, unless someone knocks its head into small pieces, but this gargoyle that lost half of its wings and one claw was severely injured because of its soul. It was basically meat on the chopping board, so William didn't kill it immediately, but aimed at the other gargoyles.After the first gargoyle had bad luck, the other gargoyles would naturally be alert, but everything happened too fast. When William cut off the wings of the second gargoyle, they reacted. This man is dangerous, they have to avoid it.When the third gargoyle was chopped down by William, the gargoyles finally began to evade, but when the last two gargoyles completely avoided William, there was already a fifth gargoyle of the same kind.

Five half-mutilated gargoyles rolled and howled in the dust. This was another unexpected result for Blackthorne. As far as this powerful spokesman for Bane is concerned, killing five gargoyles is not a big deal. Something imaginable, but that would take a lot of his energy and precious spell slots.But for a rude warrior to maim a gargoyle as easily as William, it is really not an easy task. Blackthorne quickly realized that the Qiushui knife in William's hand is by no means an ordinary A magic weapon must have the property of attacking the soul.

At this point, Blackthorne began to realize that he had underestimated the enemy, and this volley was likely to end in failure. Although he was at the top of the entire Forgotten Kingdom with his attainments in magic, he had to face But standing there is a master of the magic network - of course, the word "former" master is more appropriate.Blackthorn didn't know that the reason why he couldn't use spells at this time was not because of the former master of the magic network he thought.

William calmly killed the five gargoyles one by one with the autumn water knife. He didn't pay attention to the two gargoyles that were intact, because someone had already taken care of them.As far as the gargoyle's physique is concerned, it's not just their wings that can fly. Has anyone seen a large rock sculpture that can fly by itself?They also have their own innate ability, which is somewhat similar to [Anti-Gravity Art], which allows them to reduce the effect of gravity to a certain extent, and fly with the flapping of their wings.It's a pity that with the suppression of the Horn of Cole, these monsters can only flop around with calcified bone wings that are similar to stone carvings.

Upon seeing this, Phinya, who had just recovered, reached out and picked up the Thunder Frost, and strode up to smash and hack at a gargoyle.The Thunder Frost was sharp and heavy enough to smash the monster's body into pieces, but it couldn't kill it for a while.Yasuna also threw the shield away, and rushed towards the other intact gargoyle with the battle axe. Maybe she was aggrieved enough before, and this bitch immediately returned to the size of an adult frost giant, just like the little gargoyle. His physique was really not good enough, and he was slapped on the ground with one hand by the leader of the female frost giant, which was terribly ravaged.

After killing the gargoyle, William's target was at Blackthorne again. This big man from Zhentil Castle had already seen the bad situation and started to run away, but because the spells used to escape were temporarily blocked. In order to suppress, he can only use his lack of exercise to escape.

Panting, Blackthorn ran tens of meters away, probably feeling that he was safer, and then stopped and turned around to "open his mouth": "Don't think that you are safe after escaping this catastrophe, you will soon I know what kind of trouble I have caused. Da Sophilia! My former teacher, your fate has long been doomed, and being swallowed by the Lord of Darkness is your only destination..."

Blackthorne was rambling hard, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong, the fierce man seemed a little too close to him, and kept sneering at him with a knife in his hand.Blackthorn was shocked, and he instantly transformed into a big black raven and rushed straight into the sky. Unfortunately, William's knife was faster, and the sharp blade quickly cut off the wings and hard beak of the black raven. When the two swords cut off the raven's neck, the black raven's body turned into a phantom and disappeared, leaving only Blackthorn's arm, head and other fragments left behind.

Although there was no great irresistible danger, William still felt that the twists and turns of this distress were quite troublesome. He kicked Blackthorne's head, walked slowly back to his family, and picked up the leftovers on the ground. and was about to say something to other people.Blackthorne's rolling head suddenly bounced, and he said with a smirk: "You idiots! Do you think you can kill me like this? You are so naive..."

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

It is really shocking and unreasonable for a severed head to speak in an extremely arrogant manner, even though William has encountered many unreasonable things.Perhaps because she couldn't understand the opponent's arrogance, Yasuna thumped Blackthorne's head like a watermelon, splashing red and white all over the ground.
