The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 158 Meeting Sur Again
"Yasuna, I'm going out for a while! When I'm not around, you and Finia must protect the two little guys. There will be many people coming to make trouble these days, so be careful." William tidied up Organize the things in the space ring, while exhorting the leader of the female frost giant.

Yasuna blinked her eyes and said, "You want to enter the city?"

William nodded and said, "Yes! I need to ask the Lord of Silvermoon City face to face with some questions, and she should be able to answer my doubts."

Yasuna whispered: "Actually, you can just let it go and ignore it. Elm is dead anyway, and no one can force you."

"I know, Yasuna, I can let it go, but have you ever thought about how we should stand in this chaotic world?" William's eyes were inexplicably deep and dignified at this time, "This is An opportunity, an opportunity to calibrate your and my value. Powerful power can only make others jealous and alert, and only morality can make us accepted."

Yasuna felt a little amused: "You, want to be a good person?"

"A good person? What kind of person is a good person? Hehe, being a good person is too tiring. I just want to be an existence with my own principles and persistence." After finishing speaking, William walked out of the house without looking back, leaving behind a A frost giant with a bewildered face.

Maybe it's because they've gotten used to this troubled world, or maybe everyone here has a big heart. Although there was a farce of demons dancing wildly last night, the residents of Silvermoon City still walked out of their homes as if nothing had happened to continue their lives after dawn. Setting up stalls, opening shops, performing, drinking, as always, the only difference is that most of them are equipped with an extra self-defense weapon, and of course a very small number of them have uncovered leather armor that has not been touched for several months.

There were indeed a lot fewer people leaving the city. No one would foolishly rush into dangerous places when the situation was unclear. The officials of Silvermoon City sent most of the Pegasus knights to patrol the wilderness outside the city, especially the suburbs in the east of the city.

Along the way, William encountered more than a dozen Pegasus knight squads one after another, but they didn't pay much attention to this lonely traveler, except for the first two knights who circled him in mid-air a few times, The other patrollers just passed by.

Only at the gate of the city did William encounter a real interrogation. A middle-aged man in leather armor and holding a hardwood staff led a city guard of dozens of people to erect a wooden fence at the gate (because there are few large-scale cavalry battles here. , such defensive facilities are not common), the defense of the city is obviously several times stronger than in the past, and many village and town residents who were not affected by the disaster last night migrated to the city after dawn. It can be seen that these people have already Prepared, although the family is dragging their mouths, they are not flustered.

William didn't know that the people in the villages and towns attached to Silvermoon City had already made preparations to move, because when the winter snow was about to melt, it was the time when the orc tribes and other monsters from the mountains and deep forests came to harass them. , people would hide in the heavily guarded Silvermoon City every year at this time to avoid those dangerous monsters, so it's not surprising that they had made early preparations.

A few young men also wearing leather armor held a strange instrument and kept checking every pedestrian waiting in line to enter the city. It was said that this was to prevent non-human (non-natural) monsters from entering the city.William saw with his own eyes a man with a messy beard being pulled out by them, and one of the young men inspecting said angrily: "You are...? Go away, buddy! Silvermoon City is not open to you right now." The man with the messy beard He had to return to the wilderness resentfully, and at the same time, a few people who were waiting behind left the team automatically in disappointment, and it seemed that they were also among those who were not allowed.

Things in the world are often very subtle. Most cities in Faerun will refuse or even attack those evil or unnatural creatures without hesitation, but they are always prohibited. corner of.Only Silvermoon City, although she also has a long forbidden list, unless it is some recognized evil guy, the city guards will not take the initiative to attack the forbidden, but the dark corners of this city are always the cleanest Yes, and this is one of the reasons why Alaszhuo is admirable.

William easily passed the check at the gate of the city, but he didn't go to see Erastriol immediately, but went along the Moon Square to purchase things that he might need during the upcoming journey (or run away), salt, Seasonings, food, large barrels of fine wine, various containers and tools When William came to the River Raven, he had purchased nearly a thousand gold coins.

The destroyed Moon Bridge was not repaired, but several temporary pontoons were erected on the surface of the Raven River. There were not many pedestrians on them. William crossed the pontoons and came to a small shop on the south bank. While choosing exquisite trinkets, he pretended to be casual and asked: "Boss, may I ask, where can I meet Ms. Elastra?"

In the Northland, Alustriel's name is always respected by people. Even though the people there are very hostile to travelers, whenever they hear that someone asks for help from Alustriar, they will immediately gather and extend their help. With a helping hand, even the most ordinary farmers and shepherds will become as brave as fully armed soldiers, and will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for Alustriel. This is the powerful charm of Lady Hope of Silvermoon City where.

The owner of the trinket store is obviously also one of Alustri's admirers. William's question made his eyes shine immediately: "You mean Ms. Hope, oh! Usually we can see Ms. Guangyao at any celebration Young man, why do you want to see Ms. Yinyue? What is the purpose? Ms. Supreme is not something that ordinary people can see when they meet each other!" , I really don't know if he is idle or not.

William pretended to be solemn and whispered: "I have something important to report to Ms. Elastre, but I don't know if other people are worth trusting? A sacrificed warrior! Oh no! I can't be here speak out!"

The shop owner squinted his eyes, patted his chest and thumped his back, and assured him: "Friend! I am definitely a partner worthy of your trust. Believe me, I will definitely help you to inform Ms. Zhi Gao."

"Never! I only trust Ms. Elastra, and I don't trust anyone else!" William felt that his acting talent was quite good.

The store owner was a little disappointed and said: "You don't believe me, don't believe me! Well, well, if you want to find Ms. Erastriol, you have to ask the guards of the Supreme Palace, I believe they can give you satisfying answer."

"The Supreme Palace?"

"Yes! Right in the very center of the city, that beautiful castle with unicorn-headed battlements is built entirely of translucent white marble. There are the most beautiful buildings and the strictest defenses, if you can If you can convince those Supreme Guardians, you will definitely be able to meet Ms. Elastre."

William smiled and said, "Then thank you for your good words!" As he spoke, he picked up a few trinkets he liked and walked away. He suddenly realized: "Damn it! Bastard! You haven't paid me yet! Boy! Come back!"

William was about to return to the north bank to go to the Supreme Palace, but he didn't want to but met an acquaintance by the river: "Mr. William, Mr. William, why are you here?"

"Sur? Hehe, I didn't expect to meet you here. Why, didn't you go to school?" William looked at the girl in front of him in surprise. Compared to a month ago, she looked much more mature.

Sur said excitedly: "Mr. William, where is Misha? The dean has been waiting for her to enroll. Misha has missed a lot of homework. You can learn a lot in a month. Do you know that I just learned it again Do you want to take a look at the two new spells?"

William said: "Another day, I have something to see Ms. Elastret, I'm afraid I don't have time to appreciate your learning achievements." William felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of Sur's sad appearance when the Moon Bridge was destroyed. What will she look like when she learns about the real murderer who destroyed the Moon Bridge one day.

"You want to see Ms. Elastra, she happens to be in the women's college now, it seems that another mysterious guest is meeting her!" Su Er was also full of little stars when he mentioned Elastre, and she was also One of Lady Hope's admirers.

William couldn't help asking: "Lady's College? Isn't Alastriol living in the Supreme Palace?"

Su Er proudly said: "Most people don't know that in Silvermoon City, the best friend of Ms. Elastra is actually our dean, Archmage Links. Ms. Elastra even spends most of the time Stay in the academy, and leave a false double in the high palace."

William said: "How do you know this?"

Su Er said with a smile: "These are just open secrets among mages, and almost every well-informed mage knows about them."

"Oh! That's it, it seems that you are also a good mage." William's small compliment immediately made the girl in front of him smile.

Su Er said with a smile on his face: "Mr. William, you are such a gentle person. With an older brother like you, Misha must be very happy. Oh, here we are, this is the Women's College! Isn't it beautiful?"

William looked at the pleasant manor-style castle in front of him, and said with a smile: "It really is a good place. I believe Misha'er will like it here in the future. Sur, thank you for your help. I'm going to see Elastra. If you are free, I will treat you to a big meal."

Sur immediately excitedly said: "Okay, okay! How about [Hero Banquet]? Just like last time, I still can't forget it."
