The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 210 Miss Sha'er Didn't See

Let’s talk about Old Dick’s house. The son and grandson who came back from the field were staring at the half-collapsed farmhouse in a daze, and asked blankly, “What happened? Could it be that a ferocious mammoth ran into our house?”

"Not mammoths, but giants, the most cunning and evil frost giants, who destroyed my house, ate my food, and terrorized poor Maggie and Cooper (the dirt dog that guards the house)." Kind of The nervous old Dick was very excited and explained to his returning family what happened half a day ago. Of course, in his mouth, William and the five became evil monsters and liars with ulterior motives.

His son said with a serious face: "If this is the case, then we must inform Lord Toga Ainuwen of the monastery as soon as possible. Only those mysterious mages are capable of dealing with the terrifying frost giants. It's just..." Old Dick's son thought in his heart There was a question left unspoken, why those evil visitors just destroyed the house, but left his family unharmed, and he didn't think two old people and two children alone could drive away any monsters.

"It's nothing but, Basso, you ride to the monastery overnight, and tell the neighbors along the way to be careful." Old Dick said loudly.

Then Old Dick's son Basso rode a draft horse to report to the Monastery of the Mother Earth, and the others began to collect the broken pieces of the farmhouse.Old Dick was cleaning up the splinters from the floor and thinking about moving the home near the Abbey after a while.After all, the reputation of the monastery and its leader, Toga Ainuwen, has become more and more famous in recent years, gradually attracting most farmers to move their homes to the monastery, and now it is almost turning into a small town.

Old Dick was thinking about what kind of house to build so that the poor family could afford it.Suddenly, the eldest grandson exclaimed: "Grandfather! Mom! Come and see what this is?"

Old Dick and his family heard the words and looked around, only to see the eldest grandson standing in front of the previous table, stroking something excitedly.When the old farmer took a closer look, he found that a fiery red gemstone was inlaid on the wooden tabletop, which seemed to have been pressed down by life, and that position was exactly where William was sitting.

A model of a carved wooden horn painted in gold was hung in front of the towering wooden gate, and behind it were several stone houses that were smoking. It seemed that William and the others were going to spend the night here tonight.

They walked carefully through the muddy field and came to the door of an inn.A bored little boy was sitting at the door, peeling potatoes with a knife, with a stone roller under his feet, grinding pepper for seasoning, and the peeled potatoes were thrown into a wooden bucket filled with water one by one , At the same time, the boy was still watching to see if there were any passing passengers on the road.

The boy was very surprised and looked at William and the others who suddenly appeared. Obviously, he was very interested in the special strangers of these members. He put down the knife and half-peeled potatoes in his hand, stopped the stone roller, picked up He picked up a short wooden stick and tapped the guest gong next to his elbow twice, and shouted loudly: "Father, there are guests coming!" Then he tried to put on a serious look and nodded to William and the five, leading the guests Go into the inn.

The room in the inn was filled with a special smell of evening trees, which seemed to cover up a certain sour smell. There seemed to be a stove on the left in front of the front, and there were bursts of voices from there.Looking at the situation inside the house, William thought for a moment that he was in the woods again.This room uses a lot of tree trunks as pillars. The light in the room is dim, the floor is slate, the gaps are filled with sawdust, and there are many small hard-shelled insects running around.There are still some old discarded bed boards next to the corner of the house, and there are many scars on them from the fire at some time.

The place smelled like a brewery, with the sour smell of distiller's lees everywhere, and the windows were shut tightly except for a crack in which light let in the air.Looking out from that gap, there are wine barrels as many as small mountain buns outside.The window was opened suddenly, and a wrinkled face with two thick brows appeared in front of William, and he said with a tired voice: "Five people? Came here on foot? Want to have a meal, Have another good night's sleep?"

William nodded, and the other party said rudely: "Okay, just stay here. Two silver coins per bed. Dinner is also two silver coins per person. For each glass of wine, there is an extra copper dime. There is an extra charge for showering too. The bar is on the left front, watch your bags and children yourself. Also, I remind you that if anyone dares to use a knife on my property, I will throw them out and not give them Weapons, let them stay outside with bare hands in the wild to face the wandering wolves. Do you understand?" The rough-faced shopkeeper raised his thick furry arms to show his strength, but he looked at William That figure, which was stronger than himself, and Phineya, who was taller behind William, gave up this plan a little discouraged.

Perhaps feeling ashamed of his cowardly behavior, the shopkeeper pretended to be vicious and asked: "Do you have a name? I don't entertain guys with unknown origins here. By the way, I don't have a big enough bed for the big guy behind you." Little girl, I'm afraid she'll have to sleep on the floor, is she a giant?"

"William, William Chen! They are my family. We came from Silvermoon City on the banks of the Raven River, and we are going to West Combe." William didn't care about the slightly bad attitude of the shopkeeper. To him, it was just a trivial matter. Little people.It is said that there is such a fallacy in most places in Faerun that a character with a complete surname and first name is a noble existence worthy of respect, whether he is a human, elf, dwarf, orc, shapeshifter or even a demon, and Other non-human intelligences exist.A long time ago, William planned to use the last name of his previous life as his name in this life, but he never found a suitable opportunity.

The other party nodded, seemingly satisfied with William's attitude, and said, "My name is Delton, and I repaired this place myself. There are bread, candles, and cheese on the mantel shelf. Go and pour yourself a glass of wine, and talk to Ruth. Tell me what you want, she is preparing soup over there." Then the face disappeared, and the sound of moving a large wooden barrel came from outside the window.

William and the others then walked into the bar, where many unfamiliar faces raised their heads with vigilance and looked at them curiously.The five people who were used to seeing big scenes didn't care at all, they found an empty table and sat down. Ruth, the proprietress and cook, was very diligent and brought a plate of cheese and a small dish of mustard, and served Putting some carved wooden cups on the table, he asked, "Would you like to drink something? I have sherry and homemade sweet berry sour here."

William put some mustard sauce on a piece of cheese, tasted it, and said to the two little girls: "Don't touch the sauce, it's a bit spicy!" Unfortunately, it was a little late, and the two little guys were already teary-eyed. He opened his tongue, but was numb by the spicy taste of mustard.

"Have any honey? Get some more if you have it. And by the way, some home-brewed sour you call it." Children were not used to mustard, so William had to ask Ruth for some that the little ones could eat.

Ruth wiped her greasy hands vigorously on the coarse cloth apron she was wearing, nodded and said with a smile: "There is honey, but I need to add more money."

William put out an ancient gold coin on the table, and Ruth immediately ran back to the kitchen excitedly. After a while, she ran back with a honey pot and a long-necked iron pot. William pushed the gold coin to the female cook, and said: "Is there any meat that can be eaten?"

Ruth took the gold coin beautifully, put it in front of her eyes and carefully looked at it, then carefully stuffed it into the pocket under the apron, and said respectfully: "I just received three grouse from the Orion yesterday, would you like to have a visit?" only?"

William nodded his head and said: "I want all three, do it carefully, and then settle the accounts together, and your money will be indispensable. By the way, it's better to have some hot soup."

"There will be hot potato soup later, and I'll bring it to you as soon as it's ready." Ruth smiled and offered her hospitality, and suddenly there were a few laughs behind her: "Ms. Ruth, dare to seduce me in front of you here." Man, watch out for Delton's fists at night! Hahaha—”

As soon as Ruth's face changed, she turned around and cursed angrily.William turned his head to look, but there was a group of men sitting at a table, wearing leather armor with weapons pinned to their belts.Two of them were dressed in rags, had beards, and looked fierce. Each was equipped with a very old sword. There were a lot of things hanging from top to bottom, such as clanging cups, knives, mallets, and other small things. Tools, like two moving grocery stores, are the ones making fun of Ruth, a group of mercenaries who live everywhere.

Not far from these mercenaries, there was a group of burly men and women in overalls and torn boots, all of them were sweating, their bodies were dirty, their faces looked tired, but they also had funny smiles on their faces.Well, this should be the local farmer, who came to have dinner before going to bed.

A room full of people were eating, talking and laughing, and Misha'er, who was dipping cheese in honey, suddenly said, "William, Yasuna is using spells to heal 'marks (whip marks)'!" William's eyes widened. With a stare, Yasuna hurriedly dismissed the [Healing Technique] in her hand, stuck out her tongue at William with a low eyebrow, obediently picked up the wooden cup and pretended to drink.

When William stopped paying attention, Yasuna stared at the little girl viciously, and said angrily in a low voice, "Who is this old lady getting whipped for? You little heartless person, you actually sued me for black crimes!"

Misha'er lowered her head and said, "But, it was William who made Misha'er look at you."

Yasuna said: "Then won't you pretend you didn't see it?"

"What if Brother William asks?"

"Then just say you didn't see it."

" Okay, I get it now."

After a while, Misha'er suddenly said again: "Brother, Misha'er didn't see Yasuna using spells!" Yasuna, who was quietly casting [Healing Technique] on herself, was immediately embarrassed.
