The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 145

William rushed back to the House of the Frustrated with Misha in his arms, only to find that Finia was sitting in the hall, enjoying the fresh deer steak, but Yasuna was nowhere to be seen. He gently pushed the little girl onto the chair. Let go, and asked in a low voice: "Finia, where is Yasuna?"

Finya licked her somewhat oily lips with her tongue and said, "Mom? Oh, she went out, saying she was going outside to see the excitement. I heard that a big event happened in the city, and many people went together Well, William, can I also go out to watch the fun?"

"No!" William ignored the disappointment on Finia's face, "Take care of Misha here, I'll go find Yasuna and come back. Be careful, we might have to run away again." Ya, William ran out immediately.

The Moon Bridge is to Silvermoon City, just like the Statue of Liberty is to the United States, and the Arc de Triomphe is to France. The destruction of this iconic thing is enough to drive the whole country crazy, not to mention that the Moon Bridge is also related to the most important thing in Silvermoon City. An important defensive barrier - the completeness of the mythos.Although William still doesn't know how serious the consequences of the destruction of the Moon Bridge are, he can see from the troops mobilizing back and forth on the street that the problem is definitely not trivial.The biggest trouble is that William suspects that the female city lord already knew that she did it. Presumably, as her younger sister, she had already learned about the Corner of Cole from her elder sister Helen, and she happened to pass by there at that time. , everything is self-evident.

The only good news is that although the city guards on the street are frequently mobilized, there is still no team that is dedicated to the home of the frustrated, but it will be a matter of time to find out where it is.William walked along the avenue through the Moon Square, looking for Yasuna all the way, but unfortunately, she was never found.

When William passed by an alley, he ran into an acquaintance—Short Tim, the poor guy who was turned into a toad by Laila and had a leg bitten off by the "cat cat bug". It was much more embarrassing. He was screaming and being beaten on the ground by a group of thick and thick armored guards. There was a mage beside him who gave him a healing spell from time to time to ensure that his small body could withstand the guards' heavy punches. .

Tim, who was lying on the ground, looked up and recognized William immediately. He screamed: "Ah! Please, please let poor Tim go! Oh! I will never dare again. Ah! ——! It's him, it's that human being, it's the gold coin he gave me." In order to divert the attention of the guards and prevent himself from being beaten, Tim simply betrayed William on the spot.

The armored guards punched the short Tim a few times again, turning him into a hunched prawn, and ignored him. The long swords around the waists of these armored guards were not out of their sheaths. They just surrounded William with their bare hands, and they regarded William as an ordinary street smuggler.The mage behind warned loudly: "Boy! You have violated the prohibition of the supreme Madam Alustriar, and sold Netheril gold coins privately. Please come with us."

Hearing the mage's warning, William secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he didn't come here for the destroyed Moon Bridge. It's just that Yasuna hasn't been found yet, and it's not the time to be too eye-catching.William dispelled the idea of ​​preparing for the killer, but his hands did not stop at all. He made a wrong step to let go of a guard who rushed forward, and slashed him on the back of the neck with a palm knife, knocking him unconscious easily, and then flew up with his right foot. With repeated poking, the rapidly moving right foot brought up several phantoms, and the remaining three guards fell to the ground almost simultaneously with a muffled grunt.

The mage who fell behind had not had time to cast a spell, and stared blankly at William like a goose. The changes in front of him were so fast that he felt like he was dreaming.The mage wanted to cast a spell to knock down the enemy in front of him, but also wanted to turn around and run away far away. The two thoughts collided in his mind like lightning, but it was still indistinguishable. The poor guy could only stand there in a daze at a loss.

William kicked up an unconscious guard and knocked the mage to the ground. The felled mage came to his senses. The heavy guard on his body couldn't break free, so he lay on the ground and screamed loudly: "Mr. Don't kill me, it's not a big crime to trade Netheril gold coins privately, and you can be imprisoned for a few days at most and fined a little money. But it's different if you kill us, Madam Alustri will never let any harm go A murderer who killed law enforcement. For the sake of my family not to grieve the loss of a loved one, and for your sake, please don't hurt us."

William smiled and said, "Hehe, your eloquence is good, and you actually convinced me. But I need you to answer a question." As he spoke, he looked at the shivering dwarf lying on the ground next to him.

The mage breathed a sigh of relief, shivering and reluctantly smiled: "As long as it doesn't involve the secrets of Silvermoon City and Mrs. Erastriol, I will definitely answer truthfully."

William pointed to Tim and asked, "How did you find him?"

The mage replied: "This question is easy to answer. Milner, the waiter of the Buck's Horn, reported to us that this halfling and dwarf halfling cheated the coins of several foreign guests and used fake Netherese gold coins Defrauding the tavern. Therefore."

William put on a face and said: "So that's it, I understand. To tell you the truth, I am one of those outsiders. The liars in Silvermoon City are really annoying. I thought this was a pure land of civilization."

Upon hearing this, the mage hurriedly distinguished: "Compared to other cities, Silvermoon City is definitely the one with the fewest scammers and the gentlest. Don't worry, sir, we will definitely help you recover the cheated property."

William shook his head and smiled, "No need, I don't care about that stuff, and I'm leaving soon. By the way, one of my companions got separated, a beautiful woman with waist-length blue hair should be easy to identify , I wonder if you have seen it?"

The mage's eyes lit up and he said, "Sir, are you talking about a woman wearing a snow-white winter wolf fur coat and exuding biting coldness?"

William smiled and said, "What? Have you seen her?"

The mage nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes! Sir, we met just now near the pier in the south. To be honest, your companion is really beautiful, but the cold air on his body is too heavy, he should be someone with a special bloodline Bar!"

"Hehe, the cold on her body is a bit heavy, and she always likes to run around, which really hurts my brain. But, thank you very much for your help." William put on a patriarchal headache at the right time, so that the mage could understand His goodwill increased greatly.

The mage smiled and pointed to the companion who was pressing on him: "Sir, can you help me move my companion away? It's really strange, how come Goth has become so heavy, I can't push him ?”

William laughed secretly in his heart: I hit Qihai and Juque. Although I controlled the strength and it wouldn't be fatal, but in a short time, I couldn't move with strength.He lightly lifted the unconscious guard Goth, and freed the mage from the heavy pressure. The mage struggled to stand up, but found that he had no strength at all. He looked at William next to him in panic, wanting to shout loudly.

William lightly patted the mage's neck and said with a smile: "Sleep here for a while, and you'll be fine when you wake up." He coldly glanced at the shivering short Tim, turned around and strode away. .It wasn't until William turned the alley and disappeared that Tim dared to stand up from the ground. He looked around secretly, and then slowly approached the sleeping mage. The magic gold coins he finally got were all on the mage. , Tim is really unwilling to give up.

The so-called people make money and birds die for food, ancient and modern. When Tim was searching the mage, several angry shouts suddenly sounded from the sky: "Damn bastard! Oh my god, look what you have done?" Tim looked up reflexively, and immediately his body and mind turned cold, and several elf knights riding Pegasus descended from the sky, each holding a crossbow and glaring at Tim.

Tim fell on the ground and screamed: "No! I didn't do it. I really didn't do it. Tim just wants to get his gold coins back."

William didn't know what happened in the alley after he left. At this time, he was rushing to the pier by the Raven River. When he found Yasuna, he found that the leader of the female frost giant was holding a large wooden box and After arguing with others, William hurried forward and asked, "What happened to Yasuna?"

Yasuna turned her head to see William, and said happily, "William, you came just in time. A few days ago, Xillen asked me to come here to receive a wooden box, but this person asked me for money."

A middle-aged man with a weather-beaten face stepped forward and said, "Sir, we are just the cargo ship in charge of transporting the goods, and we live on the freight for the escort. If we don't charge the freight, how can we support our family? Please don't embarrass us."

The impatient William flicked a gold coin to the middle-aged man and said, "Deposit the goods with you first, and we will pick them up later. Yasuna, let's go." He grabbed Yasuna and hurried back.The middle-aged man behind him held up the gold coin and shouted: "Sir! Sir! You gave too much." Unfortunately, William, who had already run away, ignored him. He could only shake his head and order the sailors to move the box back.

Yasuna, who was being dragged away by William, asked, "William, what happened, why are you in such a panic?"

William smiled wryly: "Of course it's a big deal, big trouble. I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in Silvermoon City any longer."

Yasuna said in shock: "Big event? Big trouble? Just now I heard that the Moon Bridge in Silvermoon City was destroyed, could it be that you did it? My God, you didn't bring Misha to the Moon Bridge Right?" William no longer had the intention to explain, and could only smile wryly again.

Yasuna said: "Didn't Helen tell you that you must never take Misha to the Moon Bridge?" William shook his head and said no.

Yasuna said to herself: "It's strange. Others don't know. Helen should know that Cole's Corner should never be allowed to approach the Moon Bridge. What is she thinking!"

William stopped suddenly, startling the unprepared Yasuna: "What do you mean? Is there something Hellen is hiding from me?"

Yasuna turned her head and looked around, pulled William to a secluded corner and said, "Only Helen and I know about this matter. I will tell you now, but you must not disclose it to the fourth person."

William said impatiently, "What's going on?"

Yasuna whispered: "The Horn of Cole's ability is very vague, and often times it does not work, it is almost elusive, but when facing the real power of gods, it will definitely work. If it is just an ordinary magic bridge, the Horn of Cole may not respond, but the moon bridge has incorporated the divine power of the goddess of magic Mystra during the construction process. Once it is close to the Horn of Cole, it is absolutely impossible to escape the fate of being destroyed. This secret Originally, only Helen and I knew about it, but we had to experiment a few times before we were completely sure. Listen to William, you must never take Misha into any temple in the future, because it will definitely be a disaster, and you don’t want to be judged by the whole world. believers hunted down?"

William scolded in a low voice: "Asshole! Why didn't you tell me about this kind of thing earlier?"

Yasuna said aggrievedly: "How can such a terrifyingly influential secret be revealed so easily? If it hadn't been for the incident of Yueqiao, I would definitely rot it in my heart forever. Besides, I thought Xieren had already ordered Can't you go to the Moon Bridge?"

William snorted heavily and said, "Then what do you say now?"

Yasuna said with a serious face: "The impact of the destruction of the Moon Bridge is too great, this bitch Elastriol will definitely go crazy, even if Xieren is her own sister, she may not be able to stop it, let alone Hillen isn't here either. We can't help but get out of town."

William stomped his feet resentfully and said angrily: "Oh! It's really fucking bad luck. I don't think that I will get into trouble everywhere I go. Is it true that I am a bastard, and I can't kill God?"

Just as he was talking, a straight line of fire suddenly appeared in the sky, dragging a long tail flame straight to the highest palace in Silvermoon City, Yasuna exclaimed: "Alastriol's flame chariot! Could it be Helen, why did she run back?"

William looked at the lingering line of fire in the sky with a cloudy expression, and after a long silence, he said coldly: "Let's go! Let's go back and find a way to get out of the city first."

Yasuna said uncertainly: "Should we wait any longer? Maybe Helen will have a way to persuade Alustriel?"

William walked and said, "No way! You said just now that Helen might not be able to stop him, and I don't want to place my hopes on uncertain guesses. After all, this is someone else's territory. It's better for us to leave early. "

Yasuna narrowed her eyes and showed a smile: "Well, everything is up to you!"

The two quietly bypassed several groups of patrolling guards, and hurried to the home of the frustrated, but William couldn't hide the bitterness in his heart: Could it be that my escape path was repeated again?
