The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 391 Because He Is a Zhentarim (Part [-])
William said with a look of embarrassment: "Mr. Will, you have to know how difficult our mission is, and the dangers along the way are simply beyond your imagination. People without certain strength are not qualified to join our adventure team!"

The half-elf was taken aback when he heard the words, and said with an unnatural expression: "Well, I saw that there are two little girls following you, are they also very powerful?"

William laughed and said, "You mean Misha and the others, of course they aren't that powerful! Not only are they lacking in strength, but they are also the kind of burden that hinders you very much." William said while staring at the half-elf's sluggish expression , I couldn't help feeling an inexplicable joy in my heart.

But he immediately said: "I won't hide it from you, Mr. Will, the two of them are the goals of this mission for me and my adventure partner. The specific content is to protect them from reaching the Valley of Shadows safely, and then gather some strong people there to continue the mission." Go to the southern city."

Will stared blankly at William, and murmured in astonishment, "Mr. William, is it really appropriate for you to tell me about your secret mission like this?"

Hey!Believe it or not, boy, if your old lady is not Mrs. Elastra, I will just turn around and kill you!

But of course William couldn't say that directly on the surface.He said: "Now our enemies already know almost everything they need to know, why should I keep it from your own people?" William's accent on the word "our own people" was so strong that it was almost blatantly obvious. Explanation: Hurry up and brag about your abilities, kid, and I will justifiably pull you into my gang!

If you want to talk about why William insisted on pulling the half-elves into the group, because they will soon enter the Standing Stone Plain.The Standing Stone Plain can be said to be one of the most dangerous areas in the Ennook Desert. It is not just a barren plain.The Standing Stone Plains used to be the most important floating city outfitting center of the Great Netheril Empire in history. After all, not every great arcanist has enough time and money to build an invincible floating fortress alone.Therefore, the assembly line products have become the only choice for many relatively mediocre Grand Arcanists (compared to the top elites such as Iolum and Karsus, if they get William, they are still top excellent spellcasters in this era). .

At the moment when the floating city completely crashed, there were at least a hundred floating cities in the outfitting center waiting to be launched or repaired, and then the catastrophe turned them all into a pile of empty shells, and finally they were buried by endless wind and sand.

There are all kinds of weird and dangerous creatures and strange structures inhabiting the Standing Stone Plain. They are very honest during the day, but they will become terrible executioners at night, and then frantically besiege any uninvited guests who break into the Standing Stone Plain. , nothing can stand against these guardians, not even mighty dragons or legendary adventurers.

Of course, this does not mean that the Standing Stone Plain is impassable. There are many hollow stone pillars or stone houses standing on the plain. Some of them are safe areas in the eyes of the guards. As long as people hide inside at night, there is no need to worry. Attacks from those monsters and constructs.

Except for a small number of experienced guides, almost no one knows whether those stone houses or stone pillars are safe. Even some stone houses are safe today, and may lose their protective effect in a day.

To be honest, William can’t trust the young guide——Mr. Pumostanshull. This kid’s temperament is unstable. Although he looks very harmless, no one can guarantee that he will not be a monster in the future. William will never give up hope. It is entrusted to such an unreliable person.

William wanted to find a reliable guide, but his intuition told him that Mr. Will, the grocer, was the best choice he could find in this small town. reason.

William stared at Will with a serious face, and said coldly: "Mr. Will, please start your performance! Please be 'honest' and introduce yourself. I need to confirm whether you are eligible to join us!"

Ho ho!The interviewer job makes me happy!
Will swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, and then said a little nervously: "I am Willalmokraski, a half-elf. My mother is the great supreme lady Endu Elastra Silverhand, She is the lord of Silvermoon City, a powerful "

William interrupted feigning displeasure: "Will, tell me about yourself instead of introducing your mother. She has nothing to do with today's interview!"

"Yes yes yes - say about myself, my name is Will, a grocery store owner who is on the verge of bankruptcy, often go out secretly, and occasionally like to find the opposite dwarf to drink some mead, although he is a member of the Zhentarim, there is Sometimes it's annoying, but I don't reject being with him." It felt like Will was getting more nervous, and he didn't even know what he was talking about.

William said helplessly, "Tell me what you know, such as fighting, archery, tracking or magic."

This time Will finally got to the point, he said: "When I was young, I learned sword fighting with my half-brother for a period of time. After my brother left, I learned hunting from an old harpist. Until I became an adult, I learned the magic of music from another old harp player. Well, my archery skills are not bad, and I also have some detection and stealth skills. I used to be able to release two small spells occasionally, but not recently Now, for some reason, I can no longer unleash even a small trick."

The more the half-elf spoke, the more depressed he became. He seemed to have foreseen the scene where he would be rejected.Then Will asked unwillingly with red eyes: "Mr. William, am I a bad person? I have always disappointed my mother, and I have always been like this." Oh!Poor child, you really look like Mrs. Xianglin who is about to go crazy!
William cleared his throat with a cough, and said, "Mr. Will, although your strength is a bit low, you are still relatively comprehensive and versatile, barely meeting the standards for joining the regiment."

"I know I'll wait! What are you talking about? I have met the criteria for joining the group? Mr. William, you won't lie to me! Hahaha! What should I say, Mr. William?" Will was caught by the sudden He was completely dazzled by joy, he danced and laughed, jumping for joy like a child.

After being crazy for a while, the half-elf Will woke up from his joy. He cheerfully asked William, "What should I do now, Mr. William?"

William smiled and said: "You should prepare the equipment and supplies for the trip. We have to set off tomorrow at the latest to the Standing Stone Plain in the east."

Will didn't care how dangerous the Standing Stone Plain was at all, and he continued to ask a little stupidly: "What should I prepare, Mr. William?"

William scratched his head a little. He thought for a while and said, "Just prepare according to the standard adventure equipment for crossing the Standing Stone Plain. I'm going back first. If I have time, we will meet at the tavern in the evening and discuss the precautions for traveling."

Will nodded excitedly and said, "That's a good relationship! Mr. William, I'll invite the adventure team to drink the best mead here. I will also share my joy with my good friend Bader, I think he will definitely Bless mine."

William, who was walking out, suddenly turned around and said, "It's best not to do this, Will! I don't want to kill your best friend in front of you!"

Will asked in horror, "Why?"

William coolly replied: "Because he's a Zhentarim!" He left without looking back.

　The second watch arrives!Do you have a ticket?Is there a reward?Want it all!
