The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 65 Take a Bath
The Spine of the World is the largest and most majestic mountain range in the northern part of Faerun. For the people of Faerun, the Spine of the World is a "high wall" composed of countless tall ice peaks leading to the end of the world.To the north of the mountain is a huge, cold, desolate wasteland where no one can live. People believe that going north along the ice field, passing through the layers of white death fog, will eventually reach the kingdom of the gods.

As a mountain range straddling the northernmost edge of the continent, the Spine of the World separates the desolate frozen soil from the Northland, preventing the extreme cold from invading the northern part of the continent.The northern slope of the mountain range is a frozen slope with almost no grass growing, while the southern slope is a mountain forest with verdant trees and great scenery. Various types of glacial landforms are well developed, and the ice-eroded landforms are especially typical. There are many glacial cliffs, U-shaped valleys, cirques, hanging valleys, glacial lakes, etc., and moraine landforms are widely distributed.The top of the Spine of the World is a thousand-meter-long ice cap that does not melt all year round, forming an insurmountable "ice wall" that undulates continuously. It is an ideal habitat for frost giants, white dragons and other cold subspecies monsters.

The southern slope of the Ridge of the World forms plant belts of different levels from the snow line down. Some deciduous tree species, such as linden, oak, beech, chestnut, birch, etc., grow in the bottom of the mountain and in some valleys; It is some cold-resistant semi-coniferous and semi-deciduous forest belts, such as Chinese pine, cypress, etc., and then there are some extremely cold-resistant coniferous forest belts, spruce, larch and some other types of pine trees are their main components; and permanent The clearing between the snowline and the forest belt is often covered with lush grass during the short summer months.There are not only all kinds of ordinary animals in the mountains and forests, but also some ferocious magic beasts will make their homes here, not to mention those evil monsters.

At this time, it is August, the end of summer, most of the plants are still lush, and some green seeds and berries are just starting to grow. The monsters in the jungle are not very willing to plunder, and just easy hunting can provide enough food. Food, of course, except for those evil guys.The marauding tendencies of these fearsome and murderous creatures have left the forested, grassy and deer-studded foothills uninhabited except for a few ferocious and malevolent tribes of human barbarians and vicious orcs.

The Autumn Dream in William's hand has completely turned into a hatchet at this time, clearing away the bushes and branches blocking the way from time to time. Yu Tian's escape made the two little ones haggard a lot. Even a strong Phinya lost her previous energy. When she first set foot in the wilderness, the female half-giant was excited for a long time.

Passing through a clump of bushes, we came to the edge of an open grass field, where several weathered and eroded gray-white rocks protruded from the ground, William jumped up and looked around, and then said: "Okay, that's it for today! Camp here at night! Let's rest for a few days before leaving!"

When the three women (girls) heard the words, they immediately collapsed on the ground as if they were being pardoned, and their physical strength was completely exhausted by the day-to-day running around.

William smiled wryly and looked at the three haggard guys who were unwilling to speak, jumped off the rock, and began to set up a tent for the first time since fleeing. In addition to a large number of gold coins in the ring prepared by Santilla, there was nothing left for some wild adventures. The necessary equipment is also very complete. The most high-end adventurer's tent, this special tent that is said to have magical power, can sound an alarm before the intruder approaches, and the decoration inside is very luxurious, even a large bathtub for bathing All are prepared.

The tent was propped up, and William carried the three "lazy guys" who were almost asleep one by one, and then set up a cooking pot outside to boil water.Among the three, William was most worried about Misha'er. The little girl was originally weak, and although he had recuperated her for a little improvement, her foundation was not stable after all. This time, she and Finia had joined her for such a long-distance escape. Taking care of him in turn on the road, the little guy is still very physically exhausted, if he doesn't recuperate, he will definitely suffer a serious illness.

After the water boiled, William poured hot water into the bathtub, then mixed some cold water to adjust the water temperature to a moderate level, and he gently put Misha into the water.Running around for days made the little girl's body show obvious signs of weight loss, her skin was sagging, her eye sockets were sunken, and her originally delicate skin lost its luster as before. Still wearing it on her little head.

The warm hot water made Misha'er feel like a sleeping suckling pig, she snorted unconsciously, pursed her little dry lips, curled her fists and frowned, and continued to sleep.William gently helped her wash off the dust on her body, and then gently rubbed the little girl's joints and muscles with the secret method of relaxing the tendons and activating blood circulation of the boxer.In order to alleviate the excessive fatigue of her body, William even spared no effort to stimulate the acupoints in various places to speed up the flow of blood circulation.

Following William's actions, the little girl's frowning brows gradually relaxed, and she slept more deeply and sweetly. However, William found that Misha's body temperature began to rise abnormally, and there was a tendency to awaken her blood. , but he was taken aback.

Now is not the time to awaken the power of the blood, he quickly stopped urging the dark energy, and instead used conventional massage methods to help loosen her muscles and bones, and the little girl's body temperature slowly returned to normal.

When the water temperature began to drop, William carried Misha out of the bathtub, wiped the water droplets off her with a silky silk towel, then stuffed the little one into a soft bed, covered with a soft goose down quilt, and let it go. Show a comfortable smile in sleep.

The second person that William dealt with was Elf. After all, this little guy was not yet an adult, and she couldn't bear such a long journey with her elf physique. What's more, she walked by herself from beginning to end and never dragged others down.

It's still the same tank of water, I hope the little elf won't make excuses and get mad after he wakes up and knows the inside story.There is no water source nearby. It should be said that the barren hills below the snow line rarely have obvious surface water. William uses his own drinking water, which needs to be saved.Santilla prepared several large wooden barrels for him to hold water. Although he repeatedly calculated himself, William had to admire the woman's foresight, even considering the possibility of lack of bath water.

Although Elf had an awkward fight with him at the beginning, and later she had constant conflicts with Misha, but William has already regarded this little guy as his second sister, he may not know it, maybe the truth of the elf He is older than his two lifetimes combined.It is precisely because of the existence of Elf that the little girl can laugh and laugh like ordinary children, and become more lively and cheerful. Every time he sees the two little guys making trouble, William always has a warm feeling, as if he is young all of a sudden Dozens of years old (already a few decades younger).

It has to be said that the physique of elves is very different from that of humans. Misha'er's skin has shrunk and cracked a little due to fatigue, while elves have also traveled all the way, but her skin is still smooth and elastic, and every inch of it is smooth. Like translucent crystal jade, coupled with a slender waist, buttocks, and legs, she is simply a pretty skinny doll made of jade.

William carried the elf into the reheated tub, and the warm bath water made Elf snort as well. The little guy opened his eyes and looked around in a daze. After seeing that it was William, he couldn't help but He opened his mouth and yawned a little, then turned over and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.

William settled down and washed Elf's dirty face a little bit. I don't know if it was the elf's natural ability or an unknown magical effect, but Elf didn't have much dirt on her body.William loosened her overworked muscles and joints, mostly in the same esoteric way, to relieve the fatigue of her days of walking.

After a long time, William carried the elf out of the bathtub and wiped off the water drops.The sudden coolness made Elf frown. After William stuffed her into the bed and covered her with a velvet quilt, the elf happily arched her head a few times, poked her mouth a few times, and Continue to sleep peacefully.

He's meow!William subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead, and bathed this little guy who had begun to develop, but it was an indescribable torture!

But now there is a master who is even more difficult to serve!William looked at the sleeping Phinya with a bitter face. Before meeting William, this simple female warrior in the wilderness would never sleep in the wild so casually. The ubiquitous crisis will make all the campers sleep in the wild. Sometimes one eye is half open.

Compared with ordinary people, the bathtub is very large, obviously it cannot accommodate a tall female half-giant.Fortunately, because of his blood, Finia is not afraid of the cold, and can even be said to be very adaptable to the cold, including preferring to bathe in ice water.

Lian laid the female half-giant flat on a blanket, and wiped off the dirt and dust on her body with a silk towel dipped in cold water. The days of running around turned the originally beautiful Xuemei into a dirty and silly girl.
