The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 401
A shattered belief is a terrible thing for anyone.It is not uncommon to be mentally lost, depressed, and suffer from depression; in severe cases, the spirit is traumatized, the personality is distorted, and it is not uncommon to become a lunatic or even a beast, or even commit suicide.

William has seen many such situations in his previous life, especially many newbies who have just joined the mercenary industry. When performing tasks, they often suffer from mental breakdown due to accidental injuries. Some have changed careers since then, and some have become Bloodthirsty or lunatics with other eccentricities, and a few guys who couldn't bear the blow directly committed suicide on the spot or afterwards, and only a very small number of people could find new beliefs and barely walk out of the nightmare.

And William used to be one of those very few people. The reason why he went to death brazenly at the beginning was because of the failure of Baodan, his belief in life was broken for the second time, and he completely despaired of himself.

So William understands this feeling very well. The difference from the half-elf is that William's will is stronger, and God (or a certain great existence) gave him a second chance, so that William's martial arts path can start again.

William bit the bullet and found Willalmo. This poor half-elf was almost unable to support himself physically or mentally.

Maybe it's because he feels like he's dying, and this guy wants to drink too much.But William snatched the half-elf's jug, took a sip himself, and asked, "Will, as the son of a mother with a reputation and status, have you ever had a dream?"

Will looked at the jug in William's hand and laughed until tears flowed: "Dream? Hahahaha——"

Regardless of whether Will would listen or not, William said to himself, "I once had a friend who was born in a remote mountain village. It was a very poor place, and it was also very poor at that time. His biggest dream was to be able to eat enough. Rice, can eat meat every day.

In that family that has been passed down from ancient times, only those who practice martial arts are eligible to eat meat, so he practiced martial arts desperately, and he practiced harder and better than everyone else!Eating meat is also the hardest!When he became an adult, he became the strongest martial artist in his family.

So he began to become arrogant, gradually no longer satisfied with dominating his hometown, he yearned for a bigger and more prosperous place.

Later, he offended someone, was severely injured by stronger people, and stole other people's things. In addition, the general environment at that time was very unfriendly to people like him, so he could only live in another country. "

The half-elf began to be attracted by William's story, and he couldn't help but quiet down, listening to William's story quietly.

And William's perspective in telling the story began to change quietly, he said:

"From then on, I understand a truth, there are people outside of people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. One should not be too arrogant, otherwise it will be easy to suffer retribution.

The outside world is very exciting, full of luxuries and luxuries, it is very fascinating.I vowed to earn a lot of money, earn it by my own ability, and my only ability is to be good at fighting!

By chance, I met a former soldier who was a mercenary. It was said that he made a lot of money as a mercenary, so I also joined the industry.I have participated in many employment operations. Although it is a bit dangerous and difficult, it is indeed very profitable, and I am very satisfied.

Once, I was invited by a famous hired team to take part in an attack on a small town.I was very excited at the time, you know, if I join them, not only can I earn more money, but I can also become famous and recognized as a top person.I used my best strength, tried my best to break through the defense of the town, and killed all the rebels.

Just when I thought this battle was over, a terrible disaster happened before my eyes.My companions rushed into the town, they turned into beasts, turned into demons, they slaughtered the whole town, all the men and old people were slaughtered first, and then they were in front of the children※※(These two words I won’t type it out, I understand everything) the mother and sister killed the child in front of the mother, and finally set fire to everyone. "(That's what the little devil did in our country back then, I can even describe it as crueler and more infiltrating, but...)
When William said this, tears were streaming down his face. This was the biggest scar in his heart in his previous life, but it was uncovered in front of an outsider today. Even if he lived a new life, the trauma of the past still hurts faintly.

The half-elf's face was also distorted at this time, and the blood-red eyes stared fiercely at William, as if standing in front of him was a heinous and evil person.

William continued: "I became an accomplice of those demons, and I personally helped them open their evil cages, you know, I stared obsessively at those souls struggling in the flames, and then I was completely lost in the blood.

When I woke up again, I found myself squatting in a pile of corpses. The original owners of the corpses were all my former companions. I killed them with my own hands in confusion. I killed them all. A miserable death, but these are not enough to pay for the sins they have committed.Including me too! "

But the half-elf shouted excitedly: "Okay! Well done! They all deserve to die a thousand times! William, you did the right thing! Sure enough, I followed you right!"

However, William tried his best to put on a dignified appearance, and said solemnly: "From now on, I have made an oath! My fists are only for protection! My knives are only for killing the damn villains and scum!"

Willalmo Kolaski excitedly patted William on the shoulder and shouted: "That's right! From now on, my sword will only fight to protect the good! My arrows will only shoot the evil! William! Unexpectedly You have had a similar past too, great!"

William grinned and forced a smile, asshole!You kid, you have heard that there are people who are more miserable, so you feel that you still have hope!
Ask, how to cheer up a sad person?Well, let him see a person who is ten times more painful and sad than him!
It is indeed a wise saying.

After being relaxed, the half-elf couldn't bear the fatigue anymore, and fell to the ground as soon as his body softened. He fell into a coma due to exhaustion.

William didn't help him, but let him fall on the sand, and he couldn't break the bastard anyway.William sat by the side with a somewhat blurred gaze, drinking the honey wine silently, but unfortunately this thing was too soft, William felt that it would be more appropriate to replace it with the burning knife from the previous life.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smiled wryly, then raised his glass and whispered to himself: "Respecting my damn past life, it's really nostalgic!"

Will, the half-elf, slept for two days and two nights before fully recovering. The first thing he did when he woke up was to cry loudly for hunger. After the fellow wolfed down a meal, he suddenly asked William a question: "William , I have a question. You are only seventeen or eighteen years old, the protagonist of yesterday's story is definitely not yourself, can you secretly tell me the name of that poor and respectable guy?"

William's expression froze, and he was busy talking about it the day before yesterday, but he forgot about it.With a black face, he said angrily: "You bastard! Don't inquire about other people's privacy! Don't you know that your ears will be rotten? Eat quickly! After eating, let's set off and prepare to enter the Lishi Plain today!"
