The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 464

The temperature in the Kalin Desert at night becomes very cool, but anyone with a little energy likes to run out for some activities at this time, whether it is a business traveler or those sand robbers who rob houses.

In the central area of ​​the Karin Desert, there is a relatively suitable avenue. This is the marching road opened by the giant army in ancient times when they conquered each other, but now it has become the lifeline of the merchants. Nong's caravan drove at night on this road.

Calimport is not difficult to find, especially for someone like William who has a near-foresighted spiritual sense, finding something is even easier than drinking water.He didn't rashly join any caravan. There were both his own reasons and reasons for the caravan.

After all, he went south to Calimport to make trouble. If he really had an intersection with the caravan, he would have to involve people who didn't want to be involved, and in the end it would be a mess, so he simply wouldn't mess with these seemingly innocent guys At that time, everyone will be strangers, and everyone will live and die in peace.

Of course, William's thinking is purely an ostrich mentality, a typical negative and evasive psychology at work.

As for the reason for the caravans, the caravans that William encountered were all fully armed, whether they were marching or stopping, they all looked like they were facing a big enemy, and when there was a slight disturbance around them, they "squeaked" and entered the defense The posture of preparing for battle, even if it is confirmed that the opponent is a sand jackal or a harmless wild lizard, will not let them relax their vigilance. Of course, the fate of the unfortunate jackal and lizard is self-evident.

In fact, William didn't know the origin of the group of men in black he slaughtered the day before yesterday. They were the reason why these merchant travelers were overly vigilant.Those men in black are called black predators. To explain their origins, one must first know the social conditions and regime structure in the Calimshan region.

Although Calimshan, like the rest of Faerun, is a regional nation dominated by humans.But the cultural traditions and customs here have a deep-rooted connection with the giant spirits who are said to have left this land long ago, including their ruling class regime with a strong style of giant spirits.

Every city here has the same governance model. The supreme leader of each city is called a pasha, and the supreme ruler of Calimport, which is the capital city, is called a big pasha.Funny enough, the great pasha lived in the magnificent palace of Calimport, so high above that he never received any guests, not even a god (other pashas also had the same habit).

The Grand Pasha will give his rights to his grand vizier (equivalent to our ancient prime minister), theoretically the grand vizier has all the administrative rights that the grand pasha has, and they are on par with all viziers in other cities Together they form the ruling body of the entire Calimshan.

However, due to natural birth defects and lack of ability, the viziers could not control their rights well. After all, they were just the result of the pashas' nepotism, not the real meritocracy.Therefore, in the inevitable internal corruption, the actual ruling power of each city in Calimshan was gradually dispersed to those active groups with social attributes. In fact, they respectively represented the interest groups to which they belonged, including various warlords and robbers. gang.

The Black Marauders are the most notorious gang of bandits, and many claim that the desert bandits are actually part of the direct guard of a certain warlord in Calimport, as they are covered in tattoos that reflect their loyal target.Ever since this theory emerged, the Black Marauders have pursued a strategy of killing no one in every raid, instilling terror in caravans traveling between Calimport and Menon by brutal killing.

This is the reason why those business travelers are so nervous. They are very worried that they will run into those black predators and become ghosts in the desert. They don't know that those frightening robbers have already died because of a guy who suddenly appeared. Existence, the deadly flames released by the flame lord when he advanced advanced, burned those deserving corpses to ashes.Otherwise, these poor business travelers would definitely be extremely grateful to someone.

William strolled on the avenue covered with shallow sand. His physical strength was beyond ordinary people's imagination. Naturally, he would not be troubled by fatigue or sleepiness. His strong vitality could support him without eating or drinking for several days, but this did not mean He will not be hungry or thirsty.Fortunately, there are many kinds of stuttering at night in the Karin Desert. All kinds of scorpions, lizards, and jackals came out to greet him, a lonely traveler. Originally, they wanted to add food to themselves, but who would have thought that they would become someone else? meals.Perhaps this just confirms the saying that the best hunters always appear as prey.

There is a lack of firewood in the desert. For sand sea business travelers, cooked food and emergency firewood prepared in advance are essential things.Of course, all this is not a problem for William, because he is a moving flame, and grilling food is simply a piece of cake, of course, this is after he burnt a lot of meat as a practice.

For William today, the little energy that food can provide is negligible. What he really needs is the substances that make up food, which are the so-called various nutrients and trace elements.For another factor that makes up life—the source of life—water, William, who has become the Lord of Fire, has greatly reduced his need for drinking water in a sense, but water still belongs to his normal living activities. essential intake.

As a human being, if William wants to maintain a normal human form, then he even needs to drink many times more water than he did before the advanced flame lord, otherwise he will slowly become a person covered in fire and smoke, A flame monster (monster) with magma flowing in its veins.This piece of knowledge came from his new servant, Mr. Tuermu. It has to be said that the fire dwarf is quite proficient in some strange common sense.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of water sources in the Carlin Desert. William easily found a hidden semi-underground water source. After driving away a few gangsters (the name of the desert jackal) who occupied the water source, he lay down in the water and drank freely. In a fit of anger, he tidied up his not-so-dirty appearance.

William was sitting by the water source, when his ears moved suddenly, he cast his eyes into the darkness, and a genuinely happy smile appeared on his face, which was rare, he laughed, and raised his voice: "You are safe! My friend! "

As soon as the words fell, a black figure wearing a dark green cloak emerged from the dark night, and he also said with a look of surprise: "I didn't expect to meet you here, Mr. William! This is an incredible meeting! "

　Guess who this old man will be? ? ^_^
