The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 576 Refugees
The frontier forest is a paradise for fey creatures, but not a paradise for humans.

William's family walked on the lush forest avenue, surrounded by towering old trees with luxuriant foliage, the dense canopy covered the sunlight of the sky, leaving only dark shadows, accompanied by all kinds of ubiquitous The hissing and roaring of birds, beasts and insects makes people feel like they are walking on the road of hell.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how daring a traveler is, he would not dare to walk alone on this dense forest road.There is no gang of 50 people, and there is not enough mercenary guards as a base, and the caravan does not dare to rush into this area where danger and opportunity coexist.

Monsters, beasts, robbers, and the guardians of the forest are the enemies of those who pass by.

The four of William and his party have encountered no less than ten attacks on this road, four of which were attacked by goblins known as wilderness pests. Of course, many of their accomplices deeply felt the fireball greeting from Misha.

Since leaving the Ainuooke Great Desert, both William and Mishaer have discovered that they have the power from their blood, and those spell-like abilities have become much better. Not only are the spell-like abilities faster and more powerful when used Large, and the number of spellcasting has increased a lot, and there is no such thing as the 50% spellcasting failure that can be called a tiankeng.

As for the other attackers, there are ferocious moonbeasts, cruel orc robbers, and mischievous fey creatures.Among them, except for the prank-based goblin William, who didn't do anything ruthless, the other attackers were basically killed by William and his family.

I have to say that after more than a year of adventure travel, Misha'er has really grown up a lot. Even though she is still a child, she already has the demeanor of a senior little adventurer. As her little friend, Milu Na didn't give up too much.

Unless William has a premonition that there is a deadly threat (to the two little guys) ahead, he will arrange for them to take turns as pioneers to scout the way ahead.

Every time, the fully armed little guy will walk at the front of the team, keeping a distance of 20 meters from William, who always walks in the second position. This distance is the best distance carefully calculated by William. Guys are prone to dependence and cannot play the role of exercise.If the distance is far away, William may not be able to rescue him in time if he is really in danger, which will cause the little guy's exercise to become a fatal three thousand, then it will be a real Barbie Q.

After all, he doesn't really need the pathfinding ability of the little guys. A qualified pathfinder must go hundreds of meters forward at least to provide enough early warning distance for the adventure team.

Pathfinder, also known as scout, is a profession with the highest casualty rate, but it is also the profession that exercises people's abilities the most, because you don't know which direction a cold arrow may shoot, which grass or stones will jump out of a group of goblins Or a robber, and then rushes up to attack you with teeth and claws.

Therefore, road-finding pioneers must concentrate all their attention and mobilize their vision, hearing, smell, and even intuition similar to the sixth sense as much as possible, so as to find and discover all dangers on the roadside.

In most of Faerun's adventure teams, the role of pioneers or scouts in the wild is usually filled by rogues (rogues) or rangers.

Rangers are masters of survival in the wild, and some even have animal companions as sentinels, but professional counterparts as scouts.

Rogues or rogues are another story.Ordinary rogues are poor and orphans at the bottom of society, and they become professionals under the training of certain lords with ulterior motives, thieves' unions, and gangsters.Most of them have no freedom, their social status is very low, and the pressure of competition is extremely high. In every prosperous place in Faerun, the number of poor people is always the largest.

It can even be said unceremoniously that rogues are the cheapest consumables among all adventure professions.So they are always hired by some mature adventure teams, and then act as the most dangerous vanguard role in the adventure process. If they die, they will be killed, and maybe they can save a lot of money.If you are lucky enough to survive, then continue to fuck them to death.

Misha'er was wearing a well-fitting little leather armor, covered with a little cloak made of green goblin flannelette as a gown, and was wearing hard-soled buckskin boots.In one leather-gloved hand she clutched a small twisted wire shield and in the other a small gold-lacquered staff that no one but William would know had once belonged to a god.

Her fine gold rapier [Pricking Star] is hanging on Misha'er's waist belt at the moment. As long as she wants, Misha'er can immediately throw away the shield in her hand, and then draw out the [Pricking Star] as quickly as possible. 】Meet the enemy.

Misha'er skipped over a section of fallen dead tree trunks, her pair of beautiful big eyes scanned the surrounding places where people might be hiding.

Along the way, she has been raided three times by goblin boys. Although each time she was basically safe and sound, it really frightened her usual playfulness.

After all, a dozen or even dozens of dangerous little men who were about the same size as him appeared at once, and no one had to panic.

Suddenly, Mi Sha'er pointed at a dense grass with a short stick in her hand, and shouted crisply: "I see you! Scoundrels! Don't hide anymore! Come out and die!"

As soon as Mi Sha'er finished speaking, five figures, three big, two small, etc., stood out from the grass. They were actually five human beings, and they looked like they were still a family.

However, the situation of these five people does not seem to be very good. Two of the adults are a middle-aged couple. behind.

The other adult is a thin young man. He looked at Misha'er with greedy eyes. After all, whether it's Misha'er's clean and beautiful appearance, which is much better than that of a rich lady, or her body The obviously expensive equipment and clothing are enough to make this young man have some bad thoughts.

Misha'er stared at the five uninvited guests without any fear. She waved her short stick and asked loudly, "Who are you? Are you trying to rob us?"

Just as the thin young man was about to speak, another middle-aged man tore his clothes, and even tore his already filthy single clothes.

The middle-aged man glanced behind Misha'er, then stroked his chest and bowed and said, "Greetings, honorable lady! We are the victims from Dagger Beach, and we lost our homes due to a sudden flood. and all their possessions, had to be lost in this dangerous goblin forest in search of food."

"Please forgive our unreasonable offense, we don't want to cause trouble." The middle-aged woman next to him also interjected.

After finishing talking, the middle-aged woman was about to leave with her two children, while the middle-aged man grabbed the thin young man's arm and wanted to leave too, but the young man broke away when he didn't want to. He said angrily: "Father! We have two I haven’t eaten a proper meal in days! It’s still cold and tired! We need enough food, clean and warm clothes, and weapons to protect ourselves.”

The middle-aged man called father also said angrily: "Yordel! Do you want to hurt this noble lady? Look behind her, is that something we can deal with?"

What the middle-aged man was talking about was William and Phinea. These two guys are taller than the other. They are obviously ruthless characters who can stand on their fists and run horses on their arms.It's just that the unscrupulous brother and sister-in-law didn't "bravely" come forward to help support the scene when their sister was in "trouble".

The observation of my "unreliable" brother and sister-in-law directly fueled the weeds in some people's hearts.

The thin young man said with flickering eyes: "Those two big guys are a little far away from us, as long as we are fast enough, we can directly grab the little girl in front of us, and use her to threaten those two idiots! a sum."

"Also, you should have noticed, right? My father." The thin young man's eyes became more and more complacent, and he continued to analyze self-righteously: "Look at those two big men actually sent such a little girl to scout the way ahead, which means The relationship between them is not close. I suspect that this little girl may be a lady from a rich family who sneaked out to play adventure games. As long as we catch her, we will run away immediately. Maybe the two strong men behind will ignore us at all. .

When we send this little girl home, maybe we can get a reward. "

I have to say that this skinny young man is a talent. He just said a few words about his honest father, and his eyes were full of eagerness and greed when he looked at Misha, and then he looked at the station again. William and his wife, who were watching the play, asked themselves with some hesitation: "Is this really the case?"

The thin young man couldn't wait to encourage him: "Of course, I will never be wrong. My father, I have done this kind of thing several times with those powerful guys from Zhentil Castle. Although I am in charge of the wind every time, But I have also accumulated a lot of experience.”

Hearing this, the old father couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and said angrily, "I've warned you several times! Don't associate with those bad foreign species, you just don't listen! Sooner or later..."

The thin young man waved his hands impatiently: "Stupid father! Stop your useless nagging! Now let's think about how to get out of the current predicament."

The old father hesitated to speak, but then shut up and remained silent.

Seeing that his father was speechless, the thin young man was overjoyed and said, "I'll catch this little girl!"

Of course, Misha'er has heard the ill intentions of the skinny young man, but she is not afraid of the bad guys in front of her, not to mention that she has a handy guy, and her brother behind her will also provide timely support and protection when necessary she.

She glared at the skinny young man who was grinning, and puffed up her face and asked, "Bad guy! Are you harboring ill intentions towards me?"

The thin young man rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Of course not! Honorable lady! Do you know? Honorable lady, because you left without saying goodbye, your parents were terrified, and they mobilized many people to find you back! Please come with me, beautiful lady, and I will take you home!"

"Ah? What the hell are you talking about?" Misha'er was a little confused, this guy who didn't look like a good person was talking about messy things.

The skinny young man thought his scheme had succeeded, and while approaching Misha'er calmly, he continued to bewitch him: "Noble lady, look at this disgusting jungle, there is no exquisite food, no gorgeous houses, There are no warm quilts and clean and refreshing bath water. There are only countless trees, endless bugs and dirty mud."
