The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 305 Lies
The next day, William's face returned to his calm and breezy appearance, as if he had forgotten the embarrassment of last night. Of course, as for what he was thinking in his heart, no one could guess except William himself.However, every time William saw Yasuna's figure swaying in front of his eyes, he couldn't help but burst into flames from his lower abdomen, and the corners of his eyes twitched even more.

Walking on the desolate saline-alkali soil road, the surrounding thorn bushes gave pedestrians clear road guidance. Except for a black flying horse, William and the others lost all their animal power, which forced several people to walk slowly.

The road is long and full of passers-by, and there will never be a lack of business travelers on the black road, even the turmoil of the gods can't stop them.It took only a day for William's family to leave Emmanuel before a caravan caught up behind them.

A large business group from the direction of Locke Town has a scale of more than a hundred people, at least half of whom are bodyguards and mercenaries in charge of protection. Of course, the businessmen themselves cannot be ignored.These brokers who are accustomed to walking in the wilderness are always faced with the threats of goblins, robbers, monsters, and wild beasts. They live in the wind and rain outside, and they are basically tough men who can endure hardships and weather. The experience is no worse than that of professional mercenaries, and there are even a few tough guys with excellent skills.

In this large business group, there are a few "acquaintances" that William knows, the "Leading Party" businessman Lear Bossieri, the "coward" halfling Jess, and many mercenaries and businessmen who have met and talked.

It was a bit embarrassing for Leer Bosseri to see William again, but this did not prevent them from showing their "closeness" to William's family to others. Greeting: "Is it really Mr. William? I thought you had already entered the desert."

William shook his head and explained: "We had some trouble in Emmanuel a few days ago. A group of strange reptiles attacked us at night. We lost all our footpower and most of our supplies that night, so we had to delay entering Enook, if possible, I hope my family and I can join your caravan."

"Of course! It is my honor to be able to travel with Mr. William." William asked to join the caravan. There was no reason to disagree in Leer Bosser, so he agreed without any reason, but when William said that he was in Ai When Manla was attacked, he was taken aback, but then he became aware of it.

At this moment, there was a desperate scream from beside him: "Damn it! You bad cat, let go of me! Misha, Misha, stop your cat!" Everyone looked up, but they all looked up. Everyone laughed, and William couldn't help but smile after seeing it.Speaking of it, Jess himself was unlucky. Halflings are born with short legs, and they can't keep up with the pace of the crowd. Jess often rides a large riding dog when he is on the road. His riding dog is very majestic. At first glance, it looks like a mastiff, but it can fight jackals without losing the wind.

Jess is often ridiculed because of being teased by cats, cats and insects. Brother and sister William even concocted a song "Song of the Coward" and sang it all the way. It is said that it is a strange flower among the major intelligent races in Faerun, and it is also the philosophy of life for them to survive and reproduce), but it is inevitable that there is a lot of embarrassment. The big dog threatened the little thing, intending to vent its anger.

It's a pity that Jess didn't know that cats, cats, and insects are famous beast cubs on the northern snowfields. Adult snowfield lions can be called the overlords on the extreme arctic icefields after white dragons. Even frost giants have to stay away when they meet them.Although Mao Maochong is still young and smaller than riding dogs, it is by no means something this kind of domestic dog can bully, especially with the help of the two "little accomplices" Misha'er and Miluna, After only meeting each other, the riding dog ran away with its tail between its legs, and then chased after the poor halfling, practicing its immature pounce and bite.

The cat, which is less than one year old, really doesn't have the ferocious power of a beast, but more like a big, cute cat. Watching it play with halflings is really funny.William shook his head and said, "Misha'er, take care of Mao Mao Chong, don't let this little naughty bully Mr. Jess."

Jess grumbled and crawled up from the sand, his face covered in yellow-brown dust, he kicked hard on the calf of the guy who laughed at him the loudest, leaving a yellow-brown footprint, "Teng Teng Teng" ran to William with short legs.Jess raised his head and said to William, "Big man! You should take care of your cat. It's not a good idea to let that bad thing run around outside."

Speaking of which, Jess began to slap the dust on his body vigorously, and a large piece of fine dust flew up, but it made everyone in front of him feel dusty.William looked at the halfling who happily ran away after the prank succeeded, with a smile on his face, but there was no trace of dust that could get close to his body, as if there was an invisible isolation cover separating them.William began to have a little appreciation for this little guy, and of course he was not of the "basic love" kind.
The huge caravan did not cause much disturbance because of William's joining. Lear Bossieri led William to talk to one of the leaders of the caravan, a big businessman from Waterdeep City named Pai Litruu, Tell me about him and his family.In fact, because William has left a lot of prestige inside and outside Locke Town, everyone who comes there has basically heard the murderous deeds of his family. In this troubled world, no one will refuse to fight with the strong Opportunities to peer, especially a strong person who has principles and abides by "rules".So William's family was easily accepted by the caravan.

Most of the caravans are Roth beasts and pack horses. However, due to the long journey, the physical strength of the animals must be spared. However, only a small number of people ride on mounts instead of walking, and most of them still go on foot.Leerboseri originally rode a docile Roth beast, but now he walked like most people, because beside him was William who also walked.

"Emanla? No wonder I went there yesterday but saw no one. It turned out that I was attacked by a monster. It originally belonged to a group of remnants who were said to have come from the fallen flying city of Netheril in ancient times. Many settlements have been established around the Great Ke Desert, with their own unique cultural system and arcane power. I don’t know what kind of monsters it is that forced them to abandon the village. Even Mr. William can’t help? "

"Abandon the settlement? No! Everyone in the village died. On that night, no one survived except me and my family." William briefly talked about what happened that night. The riot, the surprise attack of the underground lizardmen, the power of the huge monster, and Yasuna's serious injury.Of course, he tampered and modified Ibrando's death. After all, according to Limiluna, there are still many people in this world who can know the identity of Ibrando's saint. Killing a saint It was definitely a big event that shocked the world.

"...a mysterious mage rescued us, drove and exiled the giant beast. A beautiful woman with beautiful silver hair." William easily pulled the silver-haired sister out of the top of the tank, saying that Sister Elastra The name of the name is still very useful on the three-acre land of Faerun.

"My God! Are you talking about the silver-haired female mage? I don't know which lady it is, Elastra or Hiron, or maybe it's the storm?" Sieron of the Vale and Simbu of Agalalon are the most famous, but Simbu is known for her ferocity and cruelty (especially to Sion's red mage), and Storm's fame is just beginning. It began to spread around the Northland and Shadow Valley, Lyra had just been rescued by Orosan, and Dove and another were not yet famous.

William shook his head pretendingly with a regretful expression, "I asked, but she didn't say anything, but concealed her identity very impolitely. But the silver-haired lady was driving a burning A chariot of magic flames, that chariot looks fantastic."

William's lie was very successful, and soon everyone in the caravan basically knew the story. They did not doubt the truth of the story, just like no one would doubt the silver-haired lady's strength. For most people, magic The power of magic is mysterious, and those who can master magic are terrible and elusive.The only thing that is controversial is the identity of the silver-haired lady. Many people are arguing over whether "she" is Alustriel or Heron, but generally speaking, there are more people who support Alustriar.

Of course, William's lies were not without trouble. Several leaders of the caravan immediately came to the door when they heard about it, and the leader was Palitru from Waterdeep City.This prestigious businessman represented all his companions, staring at William with wide eyes solemnly, as if trying to find any flaws in him, Palitru asked: "Mr. William, what are you doing?" Is everything true? I mean everything that happened in Emmanra, just like what you said."

"Of course it is true, gentlemen. I swear by Tymora, the god of fortune, that it was a dreadful night, and if it had not been for the rescue of a powerful and mysterious lady, I am afraid that my family and I would have been with Ay The villagers of Manla died there together." William vowed to express his position.

Ordinary people may ignore an abandoned village, but the leaders of these caravans will never be careless, and some of the big business groups are capable people, and some experienced mercenaries can even deduce the course of the battle based on some battle relics .What William said was hardly different from their inferences, which undoubtedly increased the credibility of William's words.

Palitru turned around and discussed with several companions for a while, and then returned to William and said, "Mr. William, we are in trouble now, a big trouble. We need your assistance."
