The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 2 Bloodline of Fire

Shar, the god of night, covered the entire land instead of Su Lun, and the bitter cold wind howled in the jungle.Wrapped in a blanket, Chen Jinyang slipped into his sleeping bag, staring at the ups and downs of the bonfire, lost in thought.

Chen Jinyang was originally a boxer in his last life, and he has reached the peak of Huajin master in both internal and external training, and his Qiushui Yanling Saber is even more peerless.It's just that when I was young, I was injured in a fight with others. In order to cure the hidden injury, I sneaked into the Jinding Temple and secretly learned "Rang Niu Jin". I missed and injured several Wudang disciples. Eat mercenaries.

Now in this strange land, and living in a different place and reborn as a human being, what should I do in the future.Chen Jinyang, whose mind was in a mess and couldn't figure it out, simply closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Falling into a deep sleep in a daze, Chen Jinyang had a strange dream, dimly turning into a silly baby, growing up from an early age, indistinct men and women, younger brothers and sisters, a lame old man, etc. And so on, until the boy was attacked by a ferocious strange bird, a monster with the wings and head of an eagle, and the body of a lion, and then turned into a torch in the oncoming fireball.Chen Jinyang only felt that he turned into a flame elf dancing in the sea of ​​fire in his dream, and felt that his whole body was hot and hot, and his whole body was burning.

Chen Jinyang woke up suddenly and sat up, only to find that the blanket and sleeping bag under his body had been scorched and turned into a pool of black ash, and a fiery strange energy in his blood was rolling uncontrollably in his red and naked body.Chen Jinyang recalled the dream, but it was the life experience of this young man named William. This young man is a fool, but unfortunately he has no language memory and poor understanding of the world, but he doesn't know what is going on with the heat in his body.

He didn't know that William was possessed by a warlock. When he was hit by a griffin's (probably) flame bomb, the blood of fire in his body was awakened, and he was so hot that he attacked internally and externally, and his soul flew away. Otherwise, it would not be Chen Jinyang's turn to attach body; now he is finally fully fused with this body, the blood of fire reactivates the memory of retrospect, and the internal fire leaks out and burns the clothes and bedding.

As time passed, the heat flow gradually calmed down and disappeared from the blood. Chen Jinyang, whose body temperature returned to normal a little, put on the animal skin, got up and began to practice.

The sky began to brighten, and the jungle was full of strange bird sounds, and a new day was about to begin.

Chen Jinyang punched in the open space, stretched his muscles and bones, and began to stand on the three-body pile.It is the first time for this body to practice, but there are many obstacles, the joints are not opened, the muscles and bones are difficult to stretch, and the movements and body shape are difficult to reach.Based on the memory of his previous life, Chen Jinyang slowly stood up, felt every inch of his spine from top to bottom, his center of gravity dropped to his tailbone, his hairs suddenly sprang up and his pores closed, as if the heat from outside was forced back.At this time, the hot current submerged in the blood suddenly rose and reached the whole body. Chen Jinyang felt that the pores could not be closed.Chen Jinyang turned pale with shock when he saw it, and when he came back to his senses, he felt refreshed and full of strength, without any discomfort.

Chen Jinyang tried to do a few more times of waving his palms and blowing flames, but the effect was still the same. The flames slapped on the wood, forming scorched black marks, just like a miniature flamethrower.It's just that after that, his mental and physical strength dropped a lot. After the fifth time, Chen Jinyang felt as if he had fought a bad fight, and his whole body was weak.

Chen Jinyang was overjoyed after studying it a few times, thinking that it might be the legendary fire power, and this body is really endowed with extraordinary talent. The so-called "boxing plus power, even gods have a headache." God really treats me well. Aptitude, what you have learned can't be improved to a higher level.

"Since God has given me a chance to be reborn again, I will definitely set foot on the pinnacle of martial arts and explore the gods of martial arts. From now on, I will be both Chen Jinyang and William." After making up his mind, Chen Jinyang ate a few pieces of cooked horse meat Fill his stomach with meat, and then find a piece to start practicing Xingyiquan's twelve styles, dragon, tiger, monkey, horse, chicken, harrier, swallow, snake, 鼍, 骀, eagle, and bear. He practiced it several times , until it was nearly noon.

Chen Jinyang cut wood into spears, went to the river and grilled more than a dozen fresh fish. After he was full, he took the rest of the grilled fish into his pocket.He packed the tent together with the remaining blankets, portable knapsack and sleeping bag, carried them on his back, carried a wooden bucket, and held a wooden spear to return to the village where William lived.

William is a big, dull man, a simple and lovely Forrest Gump fool, born with low intelligence.Although he is only 16 years old, he is taller than everyone in Nome Village. William has the strength comparable to the Roth Beast. He is not afraid of ordinary flames. Some people say that if William is not a fool, he will definitely become a powerful warrior. Or Warlock.

William has a 14-year-old brother and 11-year-old sister. When he was seven years old, his parents entrusted his three siblings to a lame old man in the village, and he never saw his parents again.Three years later, the old man died of illness. William, who was as physically strong as an adult since childhood, became a lumberjack at the age of ten and worked with the men in the village to support their family. Hope to live on.

Lumberjacking is not a good job, and this kind of behavior of destroying trees will be hostile to druids. Of course, sometimes William will follow the people in the village and work as coolies for passing adventurers.

There are many dangers in the jungle, and many people died because of it, but William was always lucky to survive because he had an unusual perception and could hear changes that were difficult for others to detect.Many times he would rescue his companions, not by fighting, of course, but by his superb physical strength and a pair of long legs that run fast.

When the crippled old man was alive, he had trained William as a warrior, but the old man gave up soon after. William had the potential to become a strong man, but his insufficiency was too easy to be exploited by others. He was worried that William would die because of it.

Since he survived instead of William, William's responsibility is also Chen Jinyang's - Chen Jinyang has his own moral bottom line.The three brothers and sisters in William's family depended on each other, and their lives were extremely difficult. If he ignored it, it would be easy for him to leave, but the life of the two children would be difficult in the future. If there is any regret, it may even become his heart in martial arts magic.

Nome Village is located on the south bank of the Miral River, near the long road under the cliffs and close to the hidden forest.As a foothold on the long road between Mirabar and Chang'an Town, it is not so much a village as an inn. There are more than [-] people in the village, and most of their work revolves around this principle. The business hotel provides food and accommodation.

William's younger brother, 14-year-old Alos, works as a waiter in the only Seru tavern in the village.

But at this time, Alos's eyes were red and swollen, and he leaned against the door of the tavern in a daze with a depressed expression. His curly red hair was messy and dull, because two adventurers who escaped yesterday told him that his brother William was cannibalized. The demon was killed, Alos couldn't believe it.

In the evening, when the villagers who went out with William came back alive, they also claimed that they saw William run in the direction of the ogre tribe, and it must have been inevitable.Alos was completely desperate, and cried at home with his sister all night.

It was already noon, yesterday's two adventurers sneaked away before dawn this morning, the tavern was deserted, and only a few innocent villagers were drinking and chatting.

"Alos! Don't be sad! This is the way this world is. People die every day. May Lathander bless poor William."

"Oh! Poor Alos! Come and have a drink! The mellow rum will make you forget your troubles!"

"I'm sorry, gentlemen! I have to rush home to deliver lunch to Misha'er. Goodbye!" Alos wiped his eyes after regaining consciousness, and ran back to the kitchen to get some frozen vegetables and a few slices of bread, and put them in his arms. Out of the tavern.

"Alos, you little villain! I'll deduct the bread from your wages! Send it over and come back to work! Don't forget to say hello to Misha for me!" the tavern owner yelled after Alos viciously.

"Thank you, Mr. Seru! You are a good man!" Alos ran away smiling without looking back.

"Of course I'm a good person, good Sailu!" the tavern owner Sailu muttered to himself, with a look of loneliness and helplessness.

"Poor little brothers and sisters, my brother is a fool, and my sister is bedridden. Now that William is dead, Alos' life will be even more difficult in the future. I wonder if Misha can survive this winter?" Several people in the tavern asked. Personally, this world is so cruel, and no one can change it, at least they don't have the ability.

As Chen Jinyang was on his way, he was thinking about how to face William's family. He definitely couldn't say it clearly, and he couldn't understand the language. If he didn't speak, the image would look wrong.Saying is not saying or not saying, there is only one way to go-playing stupid.

"William is an idiot to begin with. When people ask me anything, I will pretend to be a fool, and they will be fine."

"But how to pretend to be stupid, sticking out your tongue, drooling, and rolling your eyes, it's so unskilled, you can tell something is wrong at a glance, it's too embarrassing for a martial arts master like me to do such a bad move. Smile, Smile dumbly, yes! Usually William just smiles foolishly and stutters when he speaks. Then he just giggles but doesn’t make a sound, and stammers a few times when he speaks." Chen Jinyang summed up the previous life movies The image of a fool, sometimes "hey" and sometimes "haha" has been practiced for a while, preparing for the future life of a fool.

Just as Chen Jinyang was immersed in the practice of "learning from fools", a group of uninvited guests surrounded him from the surrounding forest.

Chen Jinyang's expression froze, he stopped, stood on the spot and looked around, it's a treasured place of geomantic omen!This is definitely a good place to hide and ambush.The forest is deep and dense, and the terrain is complex. The huge tree roots are like low walls, protruding from the ground in all directions.If a team falls here, it is very easy to be divided and surrounded; but for a single-handed master, it is an excellent terrain suitable for being outnumbered without worrying about being besieged.

Chen Jinyang chose a place, put down the wooden barrel and the big backpack, put the dagger in his waist and held the wooden spear upside down in his right hand, and waited intently for the unexpected guest to show up.

Soon he saw the roadblockers clearly, dozens of dirty and desolate humanoid creatures.I saw them (let's use them for the time being) with their feet standing upright no more than four or five feet high, their arms vertical to their knees, their skin color is light red and yellow; Leather armor of different styles, holding wooden handle stone hammers and wooden shields, most of them are only covered with small pieces of animal skins or rags, weapons are even more varied, including wooden spears, short wooden sticks, animal bones, stones, everything in disorder .

The tallest guy among them was wearing a horned helmet and tan leather armor, holding a rusty two-foot iron sword in his hand. It seemed that he should be the leader.

These monsters have one thing in common, that is, they are dirty and smelly, and William was often harassed by them in his memory.

Goblins, a group of evil, cunning but cowardly humanoids who survive by pillaging and stealing.They will sneak into lairs, villages, and even cities at night, and take whatever they want.

They will also ambush travelers by the side of the road or in the jungle, stripping them of everything (including your panties).
