The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 171
The water system of Ruiwen (river)-Surbring (river)-Delinsha River is meandering, running through the entire Northland and Sword Coast region, stretching for thousands of miles, and more than 90.00% of the way is wild land, so wild Barbarians, many indigenous monsters.Humans do not have much advantage in this area, and can only set up settlements in places with obvious geographical and environmental advantages—such as Silvermoon City, Nesmai, etc., and are determined by this huge water system. Unicom.

The complex hydrological environment makes the entire river basin dangerous. Fearing the tall city walls of human cities, the wild monsters turned their attention to the commercial roads that were not protected by the city walls, and the river channel was the key point.

When William came to the deck, the surroundings of the "Sir William" were already in chaos. Countless orcs on rafts and canoes rushed towards the big ship howling. Under Morgan's command, the sailors used their bows and crossbows Constantly blocking the enemy, Yasuna guarded the two little girls who were a little flustered. As for Finia, this silly girl stood on the deck with a battle ax in one hand and a cat in the other. Excited and eager to try, William was a little worried that she would not be able to resist throwing Misha's pet as a stone bullet.

In William's view, this is a high-profile (loud voice?), low-intensity farce. Although the orcs have excellent physiques, they are not qualified fighters. Most orcs with knives, axes, swords and spears can only go far Standing aside and cheering, a small group of orcs took simple wooden bows, slingshots, stone throwing belts, and spears, and shot at the big ship indiscriminately. The speed is very fast, and most of their attacks fall into the water.Humans are better off here, they use well-made short bows and single-shot light crossbows. Although they don't do much damage to the rough-skinned orcs, they can bite the flesh with arrows and arrows, making those who are shot scream endlessly.

William lightly kicked an orc who had managed to climb onto the deck. In fact, this was the only robber warrior who touched the deck.It’s just that this buddy seems a little unlucky, maybe he didn’t read the almanac when he went out, so he ran to William’s side and took the lead. It’s really a pity, otherwise he boarded the ship in a different position, and he would be a little bit majestic .

Seeing William's appearance, Misha'er, who was a little flustered, regained her spirits.Others are "dogs fighting against others", this little girl is not much better, the whole "sister fights against brother's power", she slipped away from Yasuna's protection slipperyly, ran up to William with a face full of Xiao exaggeratedly shouted: "William! William! There are bad guys, there are bad guys, they scare Misha."

William looked at the little girl who ran up to her and acted like a baby. She had a sense of accomplishment as a "protective umbrella (?)".Of course he understood Misha'er's little thoughts, and asked with great interest: "Oh, where's your little handbow?" The handbow William mentioned was Elm's guy back then, but it was just partnered by the little girl Finia. Confused, Elm didn't have the nerve to ask to go back later.

Misha'er blinked her eyes, stuck out her tongue and said, "Give it to Miruna, but she forgot to bring it out of her room."

William grinned: "Then why don't you go to Phinya? All your equipment is with her."

Misha'er shook her head deafly and said: "The arrows are all shot. Also, Yasuna won't let me run to the front." She pointed to the front of the deck in front, pouted her little mouth a little bit. Unconvinced "reporting black".

William stretched out his hand and flicked Misha'er's forehead, and said with a smile: "You're thinking beautifully! Don't talk about Yasuna, even I will not allow you to run forward. What if you get hurt, what to do, fall into the river What should I do? Go! Go and play with cats and cats! With my brother here, it’s not your turn to play.”

While the two brothers and sisters were talking, a loud roar suddenly came from the jungle behind the orc bandit. The sound was so loud and imposing that it made everyone feel in a trance, and the orcs who were desperately attacking were all confused Form a group, fleeing in all directions like birds and beasts scattered.

The previous high-spirited (out of breath?) Captain Morgan was pale as paper at this time. He ignored the fleeing robbers and screamed loudly: "Hurry up. Everyone takes their places! Chief mate, bring a few people with you!" Hurry up and hoist the sails! Jimmy, prepare the ballista! Muta, send the rest of the bastards to the oars room! Hurry up!" Morgan shouted as he ran to the captain's cabin.

Looking at the more chaotic scene than before, William couldn't help but frown. He stared at the dense forest by the river. Although he couldn't see or hear the scene in the forest here, he could still feel it, as if There was some danger, some terrible monster approaching.

William's heart was beating violently, and the turbulent heat was surging in his body. He almost couldn't help but roared to the sky, but William stopped this impulse. He tried his best to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and his face flushed. The color of blood gradually dissipated.He picked up the little girl and handed it to Yasuna who ran over, saying: "Yasuna, take Misha'er and Xiaomi Luna to the stables, ride Mo Xiao into the sky. This time we may have big Trouble. I may not be able to take care of them, help me protect them."

Yasuna glanced at Finia, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of them! Finia, don't be impulsive." She held Xiaomi Luna in one hand and Xiaomi in the other. Sha'er, at the same time, the little girl also took the cat and cat insect from Finia, and Yasuna took the two pets and ran quickly to the stable cabin on the ship.

William took out Autumn Water and Broken Dreams in his hand, while Finia stood beside him with Thunder Frost in one hand and a dragon-tooth bone shield in the other. The two of them silently looked at the river bank, ignoring the busy sailors beside them.The Dragon Tooth Bone Shield was exactly what was in the box that Helen sent. The bone shield itself was carved out of the skulls of three white dragons. It was decorated with magical runes and precious stones of various colors. The teeth are inlaid on the shield surface, giving the bone shield a fierce and tyrannical look.

This is indeed a rare piece of magic equipment, but it's a little too small in Finia's hands, and it's about the same size if Yasuna or William is holding it.In fact, this dragon tooth bone shield was originally custom-made by Shillen for William, but William is not used to using shields to fight, although he also knows some of the skills, but Yasuna has her own battle shield.Therefore, on this side, the precious magic equipment that Shiron worked so hard to get Elastriol to help fall into the hands of Finia. As for whether Finia can use it well, there is no need for others to worry about it.After all, the frost giants have their own unique inheritance of shield warfare, and William will not stand idly by. It is only a matter of time before Finia learns the method of shield warfare.

The wide multi-layered thick canvas sail was slowly raised to the mast, and Morgan, who returned to the captain's cabin, hurried out, holding a scroll of sheepskin exuding a strange luster in his hand, and shouted: "Cass (first mate) Grasp the rudder, I'm going to release the spell!" As he spoke, he spread out the parchment in his hand, and recited the secret words on the scroll aloud, and as Captain Morgan's strange chants sounded, the words on the scroll The magic runes danced section by section, floating in mid-air and hovering continuously.

When Morgan finished reciting the last secret text, all the runes instantly turned into the holy emblem of the goddess of the ocean, Amberley—a blue-green wave that was divided into two halves, and the two groups of waves separated quickly, forming a single mass. It turned into a turbulent wave in the water, pushing the entire "Sir Henry" into a sudden rush, and several sailors who were not grasping firmly were staggered and almost fell to the ground due to the inertia; another group of waves floated into the air , turned into a cloud of wind and swelled the sails that had just been raised, and the whole sailboat was like a "classic car" that had just been replaced with an "F[-]" racing engine. The speed immediately soared, roaring and rushing forward. .

Another loud roar came, and the distance seemed to be a little closer. William glanced at Morgan, who had an extremely ugly face. This guy seemed to know what he was chasing.He stepped forward and asked, "Captain Morgan, what is it that is roaring?"

Hearing William's question, Captain Morgan couldn't help but shuddered, and said a few words in a very dry voice: "It's the rampaging giant baboon!"

"Raging giant baboon?" William had never heard of this monster, and Elf took away the monster illustration before he finished reading it. "What kind of monster is it? Is it scary?"

Captain Morgan licked his dry lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's not terrible, but very scary. It's just a monster like a nightmare."

The rampaging giant baboon is a super-sized aberration that can reach more than eighteen feet (about five and a half meters) when it stands, looking like an enlarged version of a strong gorilla.The rampaging giant baboon has a variety of innate abilities, and when it's in an area, it can have a strange effect on nearby wildlife, making them more aggressive than usual.

The most terrible thing is that the rampaging giant baboons are very cunning, and their intelligence even surpasses that of humans. They are always interested in human creatures and buildings, and they will cast the spell-like [transform themselves] to become those small and cute creatures Animals, such as rabbits, kittens, or squirrels approach the target in appearance, causing them to lose their defenses, creating a false sense of security, and then changing back to launch a surprise attack.

In fact, another name of the violent giant baboon is more widely circulated in human society. William has also heard of it, but he always thought it was to scare children.

[Child-eating monster], this is a story character that villagers often use to scare their children.A child gets a cute little creature as a pet by chance. His parents warn him many times that there is not enough food and space in the house to keep the creature, but the stubborn child does not obey. hid.Unexpectedly, one night, the creature suddenly turned into a huge and terrifying monster and ate the child alive.

This story is about the legend of the rampaging giant baboon, but because of the scarcity of the number and some other factors, most people don't know its real name.
