The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 257
The first city to sing the song "Jess is a Coward" was Noisy Water City. Compared with Xikangbu, Noisy Water City is much neater and cleaner, but this city is beautiful. Compared with the beautiful Silver Moon City, Noisy Water City But it makes people feel different.

According to the human businessman next to William, Noisy Water City was first built by a dwarf master craftsman for his elf friends. During the construction process, the dwarf master strives to make the "gift" he created for his elf friends more beautiful.But letting a dwarf who is used to rough beauty to play with the elf's graceful flower work, the final result can only be "four different images" that are unreliable on both sides.

Of course, this happened more than 1000 years ago. Since the establishment of the city, each generation of residents has been working hard to transform the city. Undoubtedly, this transformation has been relatively successful.Today's Loushui City is the most beautiful city in the valley of Guangyao River (the main tributary of the upper reaches of the Delinbil River), with green grass on the river bank and shade trees on the head; many wooden buildings in the city are made of uncarved The log building was planted with vines and ivy until they seemed to be one piece, almost turning back into a forest.

The location of Noisy Water City is very superior. Above the city is the majestic Guangyao Waterfall, where the mighty and swift river drops nearly a hundred feet in an instant, forming a wide and gentle lake at the lower end.From this lake, it flows straight down to the estuary near the city of deep water. The entire Drinbil River—the Guangyao River channel is a good navigable area. The city of noisy water is just on the south bank of this lake. There is a magnificent arch bridge The water outlet across the lake connects the traffic on both sides.

There are very few elves left in Loudwater today, about a quarter of the city's local residents are half-elves, and most of the rest are humans (and a few dwarves).This small city with a total population of just over 4000 maintains an elite guard of more than 300 people, thus providing a well-guarded rest station for caravans and ships passing by. Most of the caravans and travelers on the trade route of Tilburg chose this place as the main transit point for rest and rest, and it also provided Huan Shui City with rich commercial income.

Although Noisy Water City is not big, the goods here are rich and varied. Whether it is a variety of bulk goods or various tools and materials necessary for adventure travel, almost all of them can be bought in shops in Noisy Water City.Moreover, there are all kinds of pubs, hotels, and carriage shops in this city, which provide good food, clothing and accommodation for business travelers.

When William's family walked into this city, even though they had seen the beauty of Silvermoon City long ago, they were still overwhelmed by this beautiful and lively city, because you have to understand a few homeless people walking alone Suddenly back to the excitement of the ethnic group.Misha'er and Miluna didn't bother to trouble the halfling Jerry anymore. These two little crazy girls were like colts having a good time, running wildly back and forth on the street while screaming wantonly, attracting a lot of attention. People around frequently looked sideways.

Of course, what is more eye-catching is the black Pegasus Mo Xiao beside William. Noisy Water City is not Silver Moon City. Flying horses like Pegasus and Hippogriff are still very rare here, especially Mo Xiao's unusual body. The color of Pegasus is mostly white, silver and light blue, and jet black Pegasus is extremely rare. Compared with Phinea's extraordinary height, it is not so eye-catching.

It seems that this is not the first time that the human businessman who accompanied William came to Noisy Water City. He was very familiar with leading the caravan's carriage through a gravel road and stopped in front of a carriage shop, which made William a little strange. What is strange is that the guards of the convoy were a little cautious when crossing the street, as if they were guarding against something.

Perhaps seeing William's doubts, the halfling Jess, who had been the butt of everyone's jokes along the way, kindly explained the reason for him. Jess pointed to the children playing in twos and threes around the street corner and said, "Look at those people! Mr. William , don't think they are really children, in fact, most of them are tall halflings (subspecies of halflings, taller than normal halflings), lightfoot halflings (that is, normal halflings), by the way, I'm a lightfooted halfling, too. There might be a few dwarves in there, they're thieves around here. Mr. Kermerton (the merchant of the convoy) could lose a good deal of his cargo if we're not careful. Mr. William, are you going to cross the Ennook Desert too?"

Jess had a very good impression of William, because William was the only one in the whole team who didn't sing and mock him. If he knew that the creator of the damn song "Jess is a Coward" was this seemingly gentle man in front of him, Jess would He would definitely not be able to resist stabbing the culprit to death with the hair on the soles of his feet, of course, if he didn't consider the difference in force between the two.

William looked down at Ren'er, the little man in front of him, and said with a smile, "Of course. I heard that it is not easy to cross that vast barren land. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Jess jumped a few times to avoid a pool of fresh horse manure on the ground. Don't worry that these excrements will pollute the city's environment. Every day at noon, a group of homeless children will collect the horse manure They can use these things to exchange for a small piece of low-quality black bread from the patrolling guards in the city.Speaking of this, I must thank the half-elf city lord who made this rule for the city in the early days. It was the wise decision of the city lord that made this city the second largest city in the entire Sword Coast region and the Northland after Silvermoon City. The second cleanest city (Silvermoon is clean because of magical powers).

"You humans are just too tall, Mr. William. You know that? I hate talking with my head up, though I have to do it most of the time. Where did we get? Oh! Through Ennook! That It's a brilliant idea, I've never seen a desert before, I hope she (desert) won't be as annoying to me as the sea." Jess lowered his voice to prevent others from hearing His conversation with William.

"Desert? That's right." William, who was contemplating, paused for a moment, and said in surprise, "Wait, didn't Kermerton say that you are from Calimshan? He also said that there is the only Calim Desert on the west coast? You .”
