The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 218 The Thorns of the Flame Bird
If we talk about the most embarrassing things in William's life, the encounter with the inn cook in the wild is definitely one of them.This woman's personality seems to be a bit bold and uninhibited. I don't know if it's her nature, or it's because women in this world are so shameless. Different color.

Ruth can be careless and doesn't care about her being "lost", but William doesn't have such a "magnanimous" mind. Although people come and go naked, he is still not used to being "surrounded" so unscrupulously .

"I said, lady, can you avoid it for a while, let us put on our clothes first?" William hid his vital parts behind Yasuna, and Xiang Zheng stared at him with great interest. "Arrogant (yes, it's a proud "arrogant") body," said the cook at the inn.

Ruth showed a very disapproving expression and said: "Aha? It's okay, I won't mind even if you don't wear it. But, you are really strong. I have never seen a hunk like you."

William said angrily with a black line on his forehead: "You don't mind but I do!"

"Why don't you just pretend that I don't exist. By the way, where are your other companions?" Ruth still ate someone's "tofu" shamelessly.

William was really burned by this woman, and he was about to say something, but Yasuna, who was in his arms, suddenly pushed him away, turned to Ruth and asked, "Human girl, You don’t play with your own man in your own home, what are you doing here on a rainy day?” Well, Yasuna is also a cheeky girl, she also doesn’t care about her naked behavior, but this is bitter. William, who was "shameless", was exposed privately, and his face was hot for a while. He really didn't want to hide it, but he gritted his teeth and suddenly struggled, turned over and jumped onto the big rock behind him, and jumped behind the rock a few times. up.

Ruth watched William's swift ape-like movements, and her eyes radiated special splendor. She smiled slightly and said: "My house was demolished by you, and the men were also scared away. I have no choice but to come to you Make a claim."

A fierce light flashed in Yasuna's deep eyes, staring at the female cook with chills all over her body. Just as Yasuna was about to speak, she suddenly felt something covering her head behind her. Throwing her clothes over.Yasuna held up her clothes and asked impatiently, "What are you doing?"

William hid behind the stone while putting on his trousers and reprimanded with a little confidence: "Put on the clothes before talking, what does it look like naked!"

Under the drizzle, Yasuna put her clothes on her body indiscriminately, turned her back to the rock and said, "It's really troublesome. William, what should I do with this female human in front of me? It seems that she is here to trouble us. Do you want to kill her?" "

William walked out slowly from behind the rock topless, clutching his shirt in his hand and said helplessly, "You bitch, don't forget that I'm also a human being."

He casually threw the coat to Ruth, motioned her to put it on, and said, "This is not a place where an ordinary inn cook can come alone. Tell me, who are you?"

Lusi unceremoniously put the jacket thrown by William on her body, wrapped it hastily, looked at the dark sky and said with a shivering wry smile: "Even if you are interrogating a prisoner, you should find a place that can shelter from the rain. Ah— -Tear!" Then he couldn't help sneezing, "I hope I won't have a headache at night."

William glanced at the sneering Yasuna beside him, waved his hands and said, "Come with me!" Then he turned around and walked towards the huge old oak tree.Yasuna bared her teeth at Ruth with a threatening smile, turned around and followed behind her man.Ruth shrank her body pretending to be pitiful, threw away the sundries at hand and followed.

Under the oak tree, the ink-colored Mozi was swinging her elegant long tail leisurely against the slanting wind. Phineya leaned aside and continued to play with her precious battle axe. Worms, cats, cats, and worms are now as big as half-sized dogs, and the long down on their bodies has begun to fade into shorter hairs, but their small appearance has become a little cuter.Two malicious little girls each grabbed Maomaowong by one ear, trying to make the poor little guy take S steps back and forth, and the angry little thing clawed and bit right and left.

Seeing William coming back, Phineya only paused to wipe the tomahawk when she raised her head. She glanced at William and continued the previous action. The two little girls who were having fun didn't even lift their heads, shaking The little feet continued to play tricks on the violent cat and cat.Only Mo Xiao leisurely flapped his broad wings a few times, and hissed lightly at William.

Seeing the family's leisurely and contented appearance, William could not help but smile slightly. He sat down next to Misha, patted the little girl's swaying feet, and said with a smile, "Misha, don't bother playing with bullying cats and cats all day long." , be careful that it runs away from home when it gets angry!"

The little girl pursed her lips, and said confidently: "Huh! Mao Mao Chong will not leave me, if you don't believe me, you can ask her. Mao Mao Chong! Will you leave Mi Sha'er? No, haha, no That's right, you're so good!" Seeing the little girl shaking the poor little thing's top melon rind left and right, William couldn't help sweating.

Ruth followed Yasuna to the oak tree, and looked at the family in surprise. It was the first time she saw someone using a perilous wilderness as an outing. You must know that even experienced archmages would not dare In this kind of environment, they are so leisurely and unscrupulous, I really don't know whether this group of stunned youths are "ignorant and fearless", or they are overly confident.But I think it should be mostly the latter.

Sitting down facing William, Ruth straightened her messy and wet hair, and put a pin-like ornament on her head in a very natural way, and said solemnly in a strange tone: "I have already been in this area. I have been waiting for you on the land for 11 years, and finally the result is here. Although it is not the first time we meet, I have to introduce myself formally. I am the local harpist scout——'Firebird' Ruth. You can call me 'Fire Bird' Prickly Bird', of course, you can also call my name Ruth." In Faerun, the Prickly Prickly Bird is a rare bird, because it is good at foraging in thorny bushes, and its feathers are as bright as burning flames. Name, of course it has another name - Thorn Bird.

Thorn bird is a peculiar animal in nature, it sings only once in its life.Since leaving the nest, she has been persistently searching for the meaning of singing in the thorn bushes.When it got its wish, it plunged its petite body into the longest and sharpest thorn, and sang aloud with tears of blood——that poignant, moving, mellow singing voice eclipsed all the sounds in the world in an instant!At the end of the song, the thorn bird finally died of exhaustion and died in the song - shaping the beautiful eternity with a kind of tragic tragedy, leaving a sad mystery for people.
William froze for a moment, and asked with a confused expression: "Wait for us? We don't know each other, and there is no intersection. What you said is a bit confusing."

"Hehe, aren't you from Silvermoon City?" The woman laughed a little arrogantly, making Yasuna next to her want to smash that pretty face.

Yasuna sneered, "So what if you come from Silvermoon City, so what if you don't come from Silvermoon City?"

Ruth pointed to the brooch on her hair, and said with a light smile, "Then you guys should know this?" Yasuna really wanted to say "I don't know!" But apparently William's "teaching" these days "It made her remember a little bit, and the leader of the female frost giant looked at William with some anxiety.

William replied with a silly smile on his face: "It looks familiar, I don't remember."

Ruth sighed, and did not continue to ask, but asked another question that surprised William: "Is 'Skylark' Al already dead?"

"Skylark? Who is Skylark?" William felt that it was really stupid to continue to play dumb, but he had to continue to pretend.

"Skylark is my lover. We have been separated for 12 years, but we still can't see each other. When he sings in the sky, I can only hide in the thorn bushes and wait silently, watching him shed the first drop of this swan song Blood. The thorn has pierced my limbs, my chest, and my soul, and my blood will be shed for her." Ruth Gu said, as if reciting a sad poem swan song.

Ruth's eyes were full of sadness, and the few idlers who didn't care at first were involuntarily attracted by her elegy, especially Miluna's excited "babble" and wanted to say something, but it was a pity that she couldn't speak clearly. Be clear.

William motioned for Misha to comfort another excited little girl ("consolation" means taking it aside to play by herself), and he took out an ornament of the same shape as Ruth's (brooch), which was the The pin ornament with the magic space enchantment given to him by Lustriol.William sighed and said, "How do you know Al is dead? Alustri has already contacted you?"

Ruth shook her head and said, "Since I separated from Al 12 years ago, I have never been in touch with any other related people. The time for the thorn bird to leave the nest earlier means that something must have happened to the skylark. What's more, if Al If I don’t die, there must be him among the escorts. But.”

William sighed and said, "My condolences! Mr. Al didn't regret it when he passed away, and he lived up to his promise. Speaking of which, how do you know that we are the one you are looking for?"

Ruth pointed and said, "It was the brooch that guided me. There is a mysterious power attached to it, which can carry living beings. When you use it, the one in my hand will react."
