The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 28 The Archon of Mirabar

The gluttonous halfling Regis, the dwarf king Bruno Warhammer who was seriously injured and kept cursing, the dizzy barbarian Wulfgar, and Drizzt Dorothy who was addicted to fighting with Chen Jinyang Deng, the addition of four maverick adventurers made the convoy even more lively, and the transport convoy traveled for more than four days for a journey that originally only took two days.

Since leaving the Underdark, Drizzt has never met an opponent who can let him fully display his fighting power, especially when he has no burden, no need to worry about position, no need to worry about oath, and no need to worry about good and evil, You don’t even need to think about whether you will hurt your opponent. Swinging a knife, sprinting, spinning, jumping and cutting, Drizzt swayed all his fighting skills and arts to his heart’s content, indulging in the fun of fighting again and again, This is the true embodiment of his warlike soul.

Every battle amazes the onlookers. Not everyone has the opportunity to witness such a high-end fighter battle, and it may even happen once in a lifetime. The mercenaries and guards in the convoy would rather stop Come down to watch the battle.As Drizzt's adventure partner, although the three of Bruno knew that Drow was very strong and had fought side by side with him more than once, they never knew that Drizzt's skill would be so strong beyond their imagination. With his unique combat skills, all the spectators felt ashamed, and his fighting style was simply scum.

Looking at Chen Jinyang again, everyone felt inexplicable and unbelievable. This man calmly held a long sword and blocked every attack of Drizzt with a simple stroke. Occasionally, Drow had to step back and start again. Attack, but everyone thought the calm man still had room for it.Even Wulfgar, a barbarian with strong self-esteem, was restrained by Chen Jinyang in a very humiliating way as soon as they met. After recovering his mind, he wanted to find him to restore his lost dignity. After seeing the battle between the two, he wisely dismissed it. this thought.

However, Chen Jinyang knew that the long sword in his hand was extremely difficult, his left foot was not good enough, and he couldn't use his foot strength to attack and defend quickly. Although he could easily stop Drizzt's attacking route every time with his master-level experience, but When counterattacking, you can only force him back a little bit, and it will not work if you continue to pursue it further; of course, if Chen Jinyang mobilizes his energy and blood to attack with all his strength, he can still defeat or even kill Drizzt, but it's just for learning. Explosive damage with full force.Chen Jinyang was extremely aggrieved by the unhandy weapon, even if Zall lent him his ordinary scimitar, it would be better than this broken long sword, but this damn Cui Heizi refused to borrow it during the sparring For him, especially after seeing Chen Jinyang holding a scimitar in one hand and instantly cutting a thick tree beside the road into three sections with ease.

Fighting for several days has brought great rewards to every spectator. Cui Heizi has gained the most. After several days of repeated fighting, he has colluded with all the previous fighting experiences, and finally formed Although this style has existed in his previous battles, this is the first time he has consciously summarized and integrated it. Without the experience of the past few days, even after many years You won't realize it, and you may not even think about it in your life.This is not to say that Drizzt's combat power has increased all of a sudden, but the sublimation of his combat awareness and control over the rhythm of the battle. The benefits of this sublimation are not immediately reflected, but in the days to come, Tris Te will gradually find that he will become more and more comfortable in the process of fighting, even if the deadly killer who is chasing after him is his lifelong opponent.

To say that apart from the two children who don't understand anything, the one who has gained the least is Chen Jinyang. Although he learned the characteristics of melee skills in this world with the help of Drizzt, it is useless to improve his own strength. The cultivation system is very different, besides, Chen Jinyang doesn't like his stuff, just what he learned in his previous life is enough to study for a lifetime.If he had a decent sword, he could also practice sword skills, but unfortunately he only had an extremely awkward long sword, which made him lose his appetite, and he would have to get a good sword first before saying anything after feeling ruthless.

When Chen Jinyang started to get tired of this way of sparring, the Milar River arrived.A large river with a width of tens of feet lies before the eyes. The current is fast and the waves are flying, mixed with large and small ice cubes. It is these large and small reefs that can form the strongest foundation piers of the stone bridge connecting the two sides.

The roads at both ends of the stone bridge are extremely difficult to walk. It is necessary to unload the carts first, and the empty carts can be pulled by horses. As for the unloaded goods, they can only be carried by manpower. The scale of the minerals going south from the long road, the magic bag does not look big, but it weighs six to seven hundred pounds when it is filled with grain. This is after the weight has been reduced by half due to the magic effect. Fortunately, the team has Chen Jinyang, Finia and Wolf With the presence of these three strong men, the efficiency of transportation was greatly accelerated. Even so, it took a full day to transport all the grain to the opposite bank and reload it into the carriage.After crossing the bridge, it was only two or three miles away from the city of Mirabar, and the gray-white city wall of Mirabar could already be seen from a distance, but the convoy who had worked hard for a day did not have the heart to go any further, but camped on the spot to rest for a night.Everyone was exhausted to death, Chen Jinyang had amazing physical strength but his body was washed like water, the two main players, Finia and Wulfgar, were even more unbearable, they almost didn't even have the strength to eat.The only ones who are energetic are the dwarf king Bruno and a few wounded, of course the lazy elf girl and the two little guys who don't work are indispensable.

Why!Why haven't you seen Gluttonous Regis all day?

yeah!Why did this guy run out while eating!The chubby halfling puffed out his belly and looked extremely tired, but quickly rushed to the campfire, grabbed the prepared food and was about to stuff it into his mouth, not wanting two different scolding voices to tear through his disguise at the same time : "Halfling (greedy ghost)! Where have you been today?!" The frightened Regis quickly took a big bite of the grilled sausage, and then turned to face the scolder with a smile.Regis, who had disappeared all day long, wanted to make jokes and get away with it. People who were tired all day didn't want to pay attention to him, but those idle people who were full and had nothing to do would not let the halfling go. Especially the irritable dwarf and the elf girl Elf who likes to make trouble the most.The dwarf king has been on the verge of eruption because of his return home, and the moon elf has been deflated in front of Misha'er for the past few days. Reason, coupled with a few idle and painful booers, the halfling who is tossing is really wanting to die, suffering unspeakably.

Mirabar!The premier mining center in the North, the wealthiest city north of Waterdeep, is also the most coveted by greedy monsters.The next day, Chen Jinyang led his companions who were still suffering from backaches after a night's rest, and drove the carriage to the south gate of Mirabar. Under the huge gray and white stone strips piled up several feet high, there was a city that could only pass two or three horses. With the narrow metal city gates side by side, the convoy's heavy carriages couldn't pass through at all. Chen Jinyang and others who came to Mirabar for the first time were a little dumbfounded. Damn it!Does it have to be carried by manpower again?
The mercenaries who had been here several times and the guards of Chang'an Town were all the same. One of the guards left the convoy and walked quickly to the city gate, shouting loudly at the four guards holding shields and halberds standing on the city wall. , and then one of the guards ran down the wall and disappeared.The convoy stopped not far from the city gate, and those who had not rested lazily leaned on the carriage. Alos and Mishaer, the two little ones who were going out for the first time, looked at the flat and thick stone slabs under their feet in amazement. The ground, and the cold and heavy city walls; Bruno shook his iconic red beard and shouted: "I like this city! This is what dwarves should look like! I dare to use my beard, this city must be built by dwarves Yes! Otherwise, I’ll be a dwarf with a beard!” The elf girl, who deliberately found fault, said, “Short! Don’t you think you’re a dwarf if you don’t grow a beard?”

"Damn elf! You pale hairless ghost! Are you looking for trouble?" The dwarf king's red beard trembled angrily.

Regis interjected with a smile: "That's not a dwarf! It's a beardless dwarf!" It's not always possible for a halfling to take revenge on the dwarf king who often bullies him. Of course, halflings must seize this rare opportunity. Especially now that Bruno is injured and unable to fight back against himself physically.

Just as several people were laughing and playing, the heavy city gate made of pure metal was opened, and a tall, beautiful woman with long dark hair parted on both sides walked out extremely gracefully, followed by two people behind her. Guardsmen in armor, with long swords and steel shields, shining silver armor in the cold morning sun, and the steel shields they carried were carved with feathers. A dark red double-edged ax against a black background.

This elegant lady with sparkling bright blue eyes approached the convoy and said in a soft and clear tone: "I am Sunderland Stagrim, Councilor of Mirabar Town! Who Can you tell me why Ellago Huber didn't come?" At this time, everyone looked at Chen Jinyang, except for the four adventurers who joined halfway, the mercenaries and guards only knew that after Huber appointed Chen Jinyang as the temporary leader They left immediately. As for the reason for leaving, they didn't know anything. They took it for granted that Chen Jinyang knew the reason for Habel's departure. Only the two of them and Alos, who was part of the transaction, knew about the deal between Chen Jinyang and Al Lago. .

Chen Jinyang calmly walked up to the beautiful female consul and replied, "I am the team leader temporarily appointed by Mr. Ellago! Ellago has returned to Chang'an Town for a while."
