The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 389 My Mom Is the Boss of Silvermoon City
Will glanced at William with cross-eyed eyes, and then said in a rather impatient tone: "Boy, it's still noon, why don't you hide in the tent and sleep with your mother-in-law, why are you coming to my place! Hey, no! My door is closed, how did you get in?"

William smiled slightly and said, "I didn't intend to come in at all, but just passed by your door, and the door opened when the strong wind blew, so I walked in out of curiosity."

The cross-eyed half-elf had an expression of "Don't lie to me", and muttered, "It's such a fine weather, where is the wind coming from! It's not the time for sandstorms." Indeed, there will be no strong winds in the desert. High winds are a disaster.

After muttering for a while, the half-elf rubbed the gums in the corners of his eyes, and said angrily, "Since you're here, let's buy something before leaving. I can't crawl out of my sleeping bag for nothing."

William said: "That's a good feeling! I was just looking to buy something useful. I don't know if you have any high-quality goods in this small shop?"

Just as Will was about to speak, William pointed to the rags all over the floor and added: "Don't fool me with these rubbish things."

Will's complexion changed, and he said solemnly: "What an arrogant boy! I don't know what you want?"

William smiled lightly: "Do you have fine salt here? I want to buy some."

Will said with a bit of self-deprecation: "Refined salt is a real hard currency on the black road. If I had refined salt in my hand, why would I open a chicken feather shop in such a place where no shit? I would have changed places to have a good time. It is." Indeed, in Enook, the fine snowflake salt is more expensive than gold, and it is a real luxury.

Of course, it does not mean that Enook is really short of salt mines. What is lacking is salt that humans can eat. The technology of extracting edible refined salt in the mine is just that they deliberately block the technology in order to squeeze the local wealth.

William was a little disappointed, and he asked again: "Then what kind of salt do you have here to sell?"

The half-elf said: "Now there is only mineral salt for livestock. The table salt that people can eat has been sold out a few days ago. If you want to buy it, you have to wait a few more days."

William nodded and said, "Then bring me some mineral salt. Also, I want to buy some fine steel feather arrows. It would be even better if there are bursting arrows."

William didn't pay attention to this kind of consumable equipment before. Even Misha'er and Miluna's crossbow was captured by William from a certain ambusher of the Zhentarim Society. At that time, he didn't pay attention to it. However, the outstanding performance of the Explosive Crossbow in the previous battle with the Ethiopian Sand Lizard finally aroused William's interest.The power of these gadgets is no worse than that of large-caliber pistols. William regretted not discovering their functions earlier, otherwise he would have to buy a batch in advance before entering the Great Sand Sea.

Will said angrily with an ugly face: "You bastard! Are you here to embarrass me on purpose?! In a small and remote shop like mine, do you think there will be expensive things like bursting arrows? Don't tell me. It's bursting arrows or fine steel feather arrows, I don't even have iron skin arrows here."

William pretended to be innocent and smirked: "Is that so? I really didn't mean that. But I have something that you may recognize." William said and took out a wooden harp-shaped horn. The imitation used to bluff the guards.

Will involuntarily widened his cross-eyed eyes, and William finally realized that they were not cross-eyed, but a kind of pupils like falcons, with sharp and scary eyes.

Will snatched the wood carving of the harp horn, and William was a little surprised by this. The owner of this humble grocery store seems to have something, and his skills are not simple.Will flipped through the wood carving a few times, then threw it back to William with a cold expression, and said, "It turned out to be a fake. I was shocked! But how do you know what this thing looks like?"

William didn't expect to be found out directly. He said a little embarrassedly: "I've seen it at Ms. Hope (Elastra Silverhand) before, and her partner Captain Morgan also has one. I was curious and asked myself Forged one."

Will looked at the young human in front of him in surprise, and said, "You have seen Irudaran? Is she okay?"

William couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and asked, "Who is Iludaran?"

Will didn't answer directly, but found a wooden stick to fasten the store door again, and then led William through the messy shelves and into a clean and tidy room.William found that there were many good things in this room, such as daggers shining with magical aura, exquisite armor, exquisite short bows, various potions and scrolls, and ivory-like bone arrows.

There are two exquisite wicker chairs in the center of the room, and their style is quite elf-like.Will sat in one of the chairs, and motioned for William to sit down too.

Will's eyes were like eagle eyes, sharp and frightening. He looked at William for a while, and then said, "Iludaran is the elf name of the leader of Silvermoon City, Lady Elastra Silverhand. She is my mother. !"

I'm so crazy!This delicious melon is a bit unprepared, and William finds it hard to believe that this vicissitude-looking guy in front of him could be the son of Ms. Elastret. After all, from his looks alone, he is more than enough to be Ms. Hope's uncle. .

William pretended to be unbelievable and loudly said: "Impossible! Ms. Elastra looks as young and beautiful as a 20-year-old girl. How could she have a son as old as you?"

Will said proudly with resentment: "Haha! Another idiot who was confused by her beauty! Idiot! Do you know that my mother's real age is close to six hundred years old? Because of the favor of the goddess of magic, She was able to stay young forever!"

"Oh? There is such a good thing in the world? That's really enviable!" William is indeed full of envy for the effect of Erastriol being blessed by the goddess of magic. Think about how he was cheated by the goddess of luck. She is a goddess, why is there such a big gap between being a god?
I don't know if he has found a good person to talk to. Will became incoherent excitedly. He shouted angrily: "Do you know how old I am, William? I'm only 71 years old, 71 years old! In the elf tribe, I'm just A child who doesn’t know anything, was sent by my mother to this damn big sea of ​​sand and ate sand for 20 years! Can you imagine? How I survived these 20 years! She told me personally, There is a difficult task waiting for me, I took it so stupidly at the beginning, and I was happy for several months, and I was finally valued by my mother."

Speaking of this, Will actually burst into tears, and he said sadly: "I waited for the day when the mission came with great hope, and then I waited for 20 years until my heart died! Do you know that there was once Countless harpists passed by here. I watched them arrive with great anticipation, and then watched them leave or die with disappointment, but I have never dared to reveal my identity. Even if I know that my best friend is a Zhentarim secret agent, I can only pretend to ignore it."
