The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 4 Difficult life passed smoothly (Modified)
Alos sat on the bench in the tavern, his brows were frowned and he couldn't make a decision, recalling the words of old Seru, his lifeless eyes were full of dead silence and despair.

"Mr. Seru, are you looking for me?" Alos walked into Seru's living room.

"Little Alos, sit down and talk! Is Misha alright?" Old Sailu suppressed his voice with a worried expression.

"It's okay." Alos sat clumsily on the chair, a little at a loss.

"Little Alos, let me just say it straight!" The tavern owner and village chief stared at the nervous Alos, "You should know that winter is coming, and the person who will stay behind this year has not yet been decided. What are your plans?"

"Mr. Seru, aren't we the ones who stay behind?" Alos stood up excitedly and asked loudly.

"Sit down, little Alos! If William is still alive, I certainly won't worry about this matter, but now that William is gone, the villagers are panicking over who will stay behind, and they can't wait any longer. This matter It must be settled as soon as possible." Seru said in an unquestionable tone.

"Sir, what is your decision?"

"I have decided that there will be no more garrisons this winter."

"No! Mr. Seru! You can't do this, my sister is too weak to stand the wind and cold on the road." Alos looked terrified.

"Little Alos! You should understand these people, none of them are willing to stay. If I forcefully arrange it, those who stay will take their anger out on you brothers and sisters."

"Then my sister and I will stay, Mr. Seru! Please!" Alos begged bitterly.

"Little Alos! Don't mess around, then you and Misha'er will die, and the hungry goblins will not let the two poor children go." Old Seru was a little angry.

"But if we go back to Mirabah, Misha'er will die too. She is too weak to make it to Mirabah. Huh, huh, huh." Alos lay down on the table and cried loudly.

Seeing Alos who was crying bitterly, the old Seru felt soft and almost agreed, but thought that once he agreed, the two little brothers and sisters would definitely die. If they left, at least Alos would survive. It is better to die than both .So old Sailu hardened his heart and persuaded:
"Things are not as bad as imagined. Maybe Misha'er can survive until Mirabar. When we arrive in Mirabar, we can find a priest to treat Misha'er. Misha'er may get better!" Old Seru I have never felt so sinful, please forgive me!Little Alos.

"This matter is settled like this. I will announce this decision to everyone tomorrow morning." Old Seru almost fled in despair.

"But we don't have money, so we can't afford to hire a priest." Alos was silent in despair.As a 14-year-old kid who had just lost his older brother and now watched his younger sister die, he was almost completely devastated.

In the winter in the Northland, there is heavy snow, making it difficult to move an inch, and no more business travelers will pass through Nome Village.Therefore, when the first snow fell in winter, most people in Nome Village had to rush back to Mirabar City to avoid the severe cold and harassment from monsters.Nome village will leave one or two people as winter watchmen to guard the village, preventing cold and hungry goblins from turning the village into their lair and ruins.But ordinary people would not want to live in a warm, comfortable and safe castle, staying in such a deserted ghost place and risking the cold, and they would lose their lives if they were not careful.At first, it was the adoptive father of the three William brothers and sisters - a lame old adventurer who was the winter watchman of the village.

Later, after the old man died, the three brothers and sisters of William took over the old man's work. William's strength and little Alos's intelligence were also good enough for this job.Originally, according to the usual practice, after William was gone, the village head and tavern owner Seru would randomly select two people from the militia to stay as winter watchmen, but any member of the militia might have his turn.

No one wants to face loneliness and death in the cold winter of despair. Now that William is back alive, it means that everyone does not have to stay and suffer. This is why the two militiamen at the door are "overly enthusiastic" about Chen Jinyang.

The militiaman who had just come off duty happily walked into the tavern, saw Alos half-dead, and asked excitedly, "Little Alos! What are you still doing here? Why don't you go home and have a look, William is back!"

Alos was laying on the table half dead: "William came back to me. What are you talking about?! William! You. You make it clear!!! My brother came back alive?! You!! Me.!!" Alos like A cat whose tail has been stepped on usually jumps three feet high and speaks incoherently with excitement.The bench under his buttocks was kicked crookedly, and it was hitting the feet of the militiamen who came over. He hugged his feet in pain and grinned:

"Ouch! Alos!! Ouch! I kindly told you about William, but you threw a bench at me! Ooh! Ooh! It hurts me so much! Alos, you little bastard!"

Alos ignored him, left the tavern and ran home in a hurry, the excitement and excitement in his heart when he first heard the good news and turned a corner, the beating heart of Alos almost burst out of his chest.With the fiery pulsation, Alos' pale skin burst into bright bright red, and his whole body was steaming. Unfortunately, no one noticed this change, and Alos, who was in a state of excitement, didn't notice it. It took less than a minute. At that time, the fire almost ignited him.

Chen Jinyang walked to the door of the house with a bucket and was about to open it, when he saw a figure covered in smoke running towards him.Chen Jinyang wondered who was playing fire stunts in idleness, he poured a bucket of water over it like a reflex, and a burst of mist rose up.And the brain was overheated, and Alulu, who had almost lost consciousness, was suddenly awakened by the cold water, and stared at Chen Jinyang, who was carrying an empty bucket, in a daze.

Chen Jinyang saw who was coming, yell!The flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple and splashed his brother. It seemed that his blood was awakened just now. I don't know if there are any aftereffects of this bucket of water.A little embarrassed, Chen Jinyang rubbed his head and put on a smirk. Seeing that the thin and thin Alos began to cry, Chen Jinyang panicked a little, splashed a bucket of water and cried, so it shouldn't be.

Chen Jinyang was about to say something, but Alos suddenly threw himself on him and burst into tears.Alos cried and babbled a lot on the phone, but Chen Jinyang couldn't understand a word.

The young man cried for a while, and once he released the worries and heavy pressure of many days, he couldn't hold it anymore, and fell asleep with his head tilted.Holding the sleeping fiery boy, Chen Jinyang couldn't help feeling dizzy:
"As expected of two brothers and sisters, they even sleep in the same way, which is a headache." Chen Jinyang, who was full of emotion, didn't know that the two brothers and sisters were worried that he hadn't slept well in the past two days, and now they are worried that they will naturally feel sleepy when they go away. I fell asleep when I was extremely tired.But thanks to Chen Jinyang's bucket of water, Alos awakened the blood of fire due to his emotional agitation. If there was no cooling down, although the internal heat would not kill him, it would be enough to turn him into another fool.

Chen Jinyang carried the fiery boy into the room, took off his wet clothes, wiped him dry, stuffed him into another sleeping bag and covered him with a woolen blanket.Looking at the two sleeping children, Chen Jinyang began to feel worried. With the two weak children, he had to pretend to be a fool to survive in this dangerous and backward wild world, and the days to come would definitely be miserable.well!Take one step at a time.

Chen Jinyang fetched a bucket of water again, and slowly cleaned the horned helmet he got from the goblin leader.The helmet is very light, with a nose protector on the front, made of an unknown dark gray crystal, and the two curved horns on the top are not horns, they are crystal clear and moist with complex and mysterious textures, and they fit perfectly with the main body of the helmet as if growing together , If it is not obvious that the material is different, I think it is generated as a whole.The cleaned helmet is exquisite and unique, it is simply a perfect work of art, and wearing it on the head of a goblin is definitely a kind of blasphemy. I really don't know where the group of goblins got this treasure.

(At this moment, somewhere in a mysterious mage tower, an archmage is cruelly abusing his goblin slaves: "You humble, shameless, greedy and inferior creatures, ungrateful thieves, don't let me find the shameful one who escaped Slave, I will make its soul into a ghost and burn it on the flames of the dead, so that it will repent of its mistakes in eternal pain.")
Chen Jinyang was playing with the horn helmet in his hand (let's call it the horn helmet first), when he heard the sound of footsteps outside, he stuffed the helmet under the bed casually, sat on the bed on the ground and continued to put on a naive smirk.A middle-aged strong man with a short beard and a high nose opened the door and walked in, but it was Seru, the tavern owner.Sai Lu was taken aback when he saw Chen Jinyang first, and was even more surprised when he saw Alos and Mishaer who were sleeping soundly. He waved at Chen Jinyang and said, "William! Come out!" Chen Jinyang knew that he was the leader here, so seeing his gesture Followed out of the house, this kind of adult who has seen the world is not easy to fool, Chen Jinyang thought about how to pass this last hurdle.

Bringing Chen Jinyang to the stable, although his subordinates were skeptical about the description, Seru still wanted to find William to confirm it himself, even though William might not be able to answer: "William, what happened in the forest?" Chen Jinyang, who had a smirk on his head, remained silent for a long time, and shook his head helplessly.Then he pointed to Chen Jinyang's head and asked, "What's wrong with your head?"

Chen Jinyang was a little guilty, seeing Sailu pointing at his head, he didn't know what to ask, and thought: Could it be that he was asking where my hair went?That's easy.

Seru didn't expect William to answer at first, and was about to say something when he suddenly saw William make a strange movement: William first made a gesture of hugging his head, then flung himself around as if his whole body was on fire, and finally did a gesture of hugging his head again; Touching his head, he began to giggle.

Sailu suddenly realized: "Oh! You were afraid of running away at first, and when you were chased by the ogre, you were so afraid that you suddenly caught fire on your body, and then the ogre was scared away, and you lost your hair and hid. Finally, you returned Go to the camp and bring back the belongings of the adventure team." Seru looked at Chen Jinyang regretfully with such an expression on his face:
"William, you really have awakened the blood of a warlock. What a pity! If only you were a normal person. Sigh!"

Chen Jinyang still kept scratching his head and giggling for thousands of years. This guy changed his face and sighed. Did he understand my actions?impossible!I don't even know what it means.

Chen Jinyang was dragged by Sailu and chattered for a while, washed off the dust on his body, changed into some clothes from the living room of the tavern, and had dinner with the villagers in the tavern—a large piece of bread and potato stew , Everyone came over to say hello to him during the meal, and touched Chen Jinyang's smooth head by the way. Chen Jinyang responded with a stiff face and smirked.

Before finishing the food in his hands, Chen Jinyang, whose facial muscles were so stiff that he was almost cramped, fled, leaving the room full of laughter behind him.
