The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 195 Overnight in the Wilderness
Stone Bridge, the most famous landmark on the Deshalin River, this huge stone arch bridge built by the dwarves at that time for more than 5000 years, represented the glory of the most prosperous era of the dwarf kingdom at that time.The entire stone bridge is one mile (equivalent to 1.6 kilometers) long, one hundred feet wide, and the highest point of the vault is more than 150 feet, spanning the entire Dessalines River like a natural moat.

At each end of the bridge stood two huge stone statues of dwarf warriors, each fifty feet high, and it is said that whenever someone tried to destroy this building representing the glory of Moradin, the four stone statues of dwarf warriors would be resurrected and attack saboteurs.The back of the stone bridge is engraved with many mysterious runes, giving the bridge a certain magical quality, no matter how high the water level in the Dessarin River rises (even if it is a flood), people can use this bridge to pass There is even an even more outrageous legend on both sides of the bank. No matter how flooded or even diverted, the Deshalin River will eventually flow obediently under the stone bridge.

But today, this holy land of dwarves, which bears the imprint of history, has encountered a "catastrophe" that has never been seen in thousands of years.

The "scourge" of William's family finally left the "Sir Henry", but this did not make the "Sir Henry" out of bad luck, perhaps because of the shading ability of Cole's horn, the big gnome flock recognized it This sailboat is as easy as rain. If it can be equipped with some sound effects, it will be a biochemical version of an air strike.In desperation, the "Sir Henry" could only hide under the vault of the stone bridge, and let the innocent bridge deck bear the "big gift" of "passion like fire".

William and his party stood on the bank of the river, admiring the rare spectacle leisurely, especially the two little girls, who leaned forward and backward with laughter and cried out their stomachaches.After seeing it and laughing enough, five people walked along the river bank to the old road in the field. These dirt roads trampled by travelers and even monsters are connected to almost all the villages and towns in the Northland.

Crowds of big robin birds have been entangled with the "Sir Henry" until the afternoon before leaving one after another. The frightened and bullied sailboat also took the opportunity to slowly move away from the wrong place. No one wants to be at the "criminal scene" After waiting for a long time, Morgan was very thankful that there were no dwarves on board, otherwise it would have been a catastrophic event, and no one wanted to be hunted down by the dwarves all over Faerun.

The entire stone bridge is mottled from top to bottom, and it is extremely smelly. There are no birds, animals, or fish or shrimps within several miles around, because it is really too smelly. If someone is present, he will definitely find that even the stone statues on both sides The guards were all frowned, and the huge stone nose twisted unnaturally. One of the stone statues, with an arm as thick as a stone pillar, slowly reached out to the stone giant ax hanging on its back. The direction they were facing was the direction in which the "Sir Henry" had left.

The dirt roads in the wilderness are actually not easy to walk. There are large and small potholes and valleys, which made the two young girls with tender hands and feet suffer a lot. The soft-soled leather boots can't block the hard objects. After a while, Misha'er squatted on the ground and yelled that she couldn't take it anymore, and Xiao Miluna followed suit, squatting beside her with a smile and "babbling".

Of course, William knew the little girl's tricks of playing tricks on her petty temper. He smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'm afraid of you! Come on, come on my back." After saying that, William squatted down, The little girl who was lying on the ground immediately jumped up and cheered, and threw herself on William's back, hugging his neck and shaking: "Hee hee! William is really the best. Oh, bad honey Luna, don't catch me!" Let go of my hair! It hurts, it hurts, it’s about to fall.”

Xiao Mi Luna is really a "good student", no matter what Mi Sha'er does, she always follows others, but William's neck has been occupied, the little guy has to grab the only thing he can grab, so as Misha'er, the instigator, is out of luck.
After appeasing the two awkward little guys and releasing the impatient Pegasus Mo Xiao, William and the others continued on their way.In this strange place, the map obtained from Silvermoon City became the only one to rely on to indicate the direction. William studied the map for a long time before he found his location, but without Morgan as a guide, he really didn't know where he should go. Where to find a connector, after all, the golden field is too big.

Without a clear destination, William and others could only travel south along the old road, but at some point, the old road gradually disappeared under their feet. As night fell, there were only dark bushes and jagged rocks outcropping around them.

William stopped and looked up at the sky, and Yasuna, Phineya, and Pegasus Mo Xiao also stopped advancing.William looked around and said, "Let's camp here tonight."

Yasuna also looked at the terrain and said: "The terrain here is not very good, and it is easy to cause unnecessary troubles. Do you really want to camp here?" Night is almost the time when most beasts and monsters are active. William chose The place where nocturnal creatures come and go is near the animal path.

William took out various camping utensils from the space ring, and explained with a smile: "In this strange place, the living beasts are not scary to us, only those dangerous places and poisons are the deadliest." Yes. A place where ordinary wild animals haunt generally means that there is no other danger. If there are really short-sighted ones, just kill them, skin them and eat their meat."

Tent, bonfire, five people sat on the ground around the fire, the little girl leaned on William's lap, and quietly listened to William's "fairy tale" story, of course, the location and protagonist of the story were all owned by Faerun.There is an iron pot on top of the bonfire, and the raging flames lick the bottom of the pot, reflecting the orange-red brilliance. The smell of "gudu, chudu" dinner begins to spread slowly, and the stewed meat is "potatoes", let's call it Potato, this kind of tuber is very similar to the potato in the previous life, William really can't find a better name, although it tastes more like yam.

[Hero Banquet] Although it is good, it is still not as tasty as a real dinner. A pot of thick stewed meat soup really fascinates tired travelers.Misha'er and Miluna each held a large silver bowl, sucking the stewed broth in small sips, and the little girl gave a "flattering" admiration from time to time: "William is the best. Soup is delicious." The other also echoed a few words of "Yi Ya", and the small cooperation was very tacit.

William, who was picking up the "potatoes" in the bowl with a silver fork, put down the tableware at this moment, stood up and said, "Be quiet! Something is coming...it seems to be two people."
