The Swordsman of Faerûn

Among the seven silver-haired sisters, there is no weak one, but if the fighting power of the seven of them is ranked, Hiron, Laila and Simbu were the top three 100 years ago, but then Laila encountered bad luck and was killed by the Lord of Death. Melkor's horned crown confuses and controls, but his combat power is greatly attenuated.

Today's Seven Sisters should be dominated by Simbu, Hellen, and Alustri, but Alustri and her two powerful sisters are not at the same level in terms of actual combat ability.

Simbu is a natural martial artist, no matter it is a single fight or a group fight, this woman is a top fighter, her life is a life of fighting, when there is no fighting around her, then she is not preparing for a fight, Just on the way to battle.

But Xillen is a master of torture, her spells can destroy an army, and she transformed into a dragon can fight the strongest behemoths.A long time ago, Shillen's personality was as crazy as Simbu's now. The century-old struggle between her and her sister Lila once dominated the changes in the entire Northland until Shillen was defeated by her titular mother, Ms. In the hands of Terra, the former crazy witch has just gradually restrained her edge.

It is said that the Goddess of Magic took advantage of the tragic decisive battle between Hellen and Lila, and then took the opportunity to sneak attack on Hellen who had exhausted all his spell slots, but this was not confirmed by the two parties involved.

However, many people have indirectly demonstrated this rumor from two aspects.One is that Hieren himself has been crazily chasing the secret technique of changing dragons for a period of time. Even without the assistance of spells, the giant dragon is still one of the most powerful creatures under the starry sky.Apparently, Hillen was chasing a way to maintain his own high-end combat power even without the blessing of spell slots.

The other one is related to the rumors about Simbu.

This is a well-known story.Once, Simbu fell in love with a young red-robed sorcerer's apprentice in Searle, but was separated by the master's teacher, a woman who regarded her apprentice as her own private possession, a master of illusion.

When Simbu, who was in a rage, was about to use spells to destroy the entire kingdom of Cyre as revenge, Mystra, the goddess of magic, appeared.This pair of magic mother and daughter fought fiercely in the planes for more than a month, and finally Xinbu was defeated, and thus became the chosen one of the goddess of magic.

Compared with the fiasco of Xillen, who was not much weaker than Simbu, it is obvious that Xillen, the eldest sister, was decapitated by her mother with residual blood.

Hillen is the weapon of mass destruction in Shadow Valley, and it is a conventional type, while Elminster is a seemingly indifferent hermit (in fact, he is concerned with greater things), so when Hillen lacks When it was in place, there were loopholes in the defense work of Shadow Valley that were hard to cover up.

But it is said that in a windmill south of the Old Skull Mountain in Shadow Valley, Elminster the Great Sage is using the power of the magic net. The lethal spells, [Pyroblast], [Serial Lightning], [Ice Storm]... The violent magic power killed countless monsters, but also made more monsters gather under the old skull mountain.

They stared eagerly at the seemingly inconspicuous windmill, ready to deal a fatal blow to the spellcaster hiding inside.

There is a saying that goes well, as long as there is enough cannon fodder, legends can ride whatever they want.

There is a limit to the number of times a spellcaster can cast a spell, but the number of monsters is far beyond the limit that any spellcaster can deal with. The power of [Extremely Effective Sun Flame Blast] has almost reached the limit that this spell can achieve, even if it is Perhaps the top legendary spells are nothing more than that.

As soon as this spell was cast, at least hundreds of monsters were directly burned to ashes, and several times as many monsters were burnt and burned. The huge casualties deterred countless monsters, but more and more powerful monsters turned their attention to here.

Elminster has a tenacious heart and will. He has faced more dangerous situations than this one, but there is an inexplicable uneasiness in the heart of the great sage. The tide of these monsters is too sudden.

Under normal circumstances, there are signs of any kind of monster wave. No matter whether the cause is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it is impossible to appear so suddenly.

This made the Archmage couldn't help but think of the several earth-shattering explosions in Dagger Valley to the west two days ago, the shocking scenes, the mushroom cloud full of destructive beauty, can be clearly seen even in the Shadow Valley tens of kilometers away .

At that time, Elminster talked with a few friends about his worries about Dagger Valley, and he mentioned William, the new lord of Dagger Valley. After all, Shadow Valley is the stronghold of the Harper Alliance, and as one of the Harper's background power, Elminster's knowledge of the surrounding area was as good as any intelligence master.

The Harpers were not at all optimistic about William's act as the lord of Dagger Valley. In their view, becoming a qualified lord is not an easy task. It is not something that someone can do with only bravery or fighting spirit .

In the eyes of most people in Faerun, to be a qualified land manager requires not only talent, but also inheritance.

So a proverb that is basically recognized by the general public appeared.

The proverb says: No matter how bad the aristocrat is, he knows how to govern his territory better than the smartest pariah.It even became an unspoken rule recognized by the entire civilized world for a time.

Elminster's conversations with his friends were similar to complaints, which could not have had any influence on world affairs.But it couldn't stop Elminster from among the audience who had a little guy with grass in his heart.

Isabella, the mischievous wind pony foal, was once the friend and pet of William's family.The little guy is now more than a year old, but his size has not grown at all. What she misses most is the days of adventure with the William family, and of course her older sister, the grown-up wind horse Lucini.

Isabella was very clever, and when she and her sister were coaxed away from the Williams, they knew their fate at once.

For a free horse, becoming someone else's mount is the beginning of losing oneself.

Isabella kept in mind her sister's warning to her before parting: don't grow up!Isabella!
Under normal circumstances, a one-year-old Wind Horse foal should be at least twice the size of a three-month-old foal, but Isabella used her own magic power to restrain the growth of her body.

Of course, her childish behavior is very ridiculous in the eyes of Helen and others. After all, the growth of the wind horse cannot be restricted when it reaches its age. Instead, it will become more excellent because of its unique growth process.

Isabella's concern and nostalgia for William was unprecedented. She knew that he was a very capable and intelligent human big man.

He could tolerate all her little pranks, generously gave her delicious gems, and drove away those horse monsters for her, and he didn't have so many evil intentions in his heart.Of course, that playful little human—Misha'er is also very good. At night, they can even share a big soft bed covered with a warm goose down quilt; they can also play together during the day.

Isabella wanted to go to William, but she didn't dare to act rashly, because the little guy had tried many times before, and every time he had just escaped from the "cage"—the Twisted Tower where Hellen once lived was an important thing to her. A cage - Sheeren and her badass friends will recapture her, and then Sheeren will punish her slightly, like a mild electrotherapy.

Of course, Isabella didn't know that this was an indispensable step for a high-level horse trainer in human society to tame the wind horse. its wild.

The so-called taming, to put it bluntly, is the real reuse of Stockholm Syndrome. Perhaps the people of Faerun do not know the definition of the term Stockholm Syndrome, but it does not prevent them from exploring similar empirical laws in the actual production and life process.

If Helen is still there, it may be that Isabella still can't give birth to a real desire to escape.However, Helen is not at home, and the pony wants to rob the house, and it is hard for anyone to stop him.

In the past few days, Isabella has been following that tall and big human old man, a human being who is also very intelligent.The old man was also very indulgent to Isabella. When the little one sneaked out to play, the old man would pretend not to see her and let her play in the valley.

Isabella is very smart. She quietly expands the range of her playing area intentionally or unintentionally, but whenever she has played enough, Isabella will run back obediently. The cautious psychology accumulated from failure also has the intention of the little guy to use psychological tactics to deliberately paralyze the human old man.

Of course, this little thing's small thoughts and small calculations, in Elminster's view, are like the cunning of a child, and it can always make an old bone who has lived for several centuries feel the beauty of that innocent childlikeness.

Looking at the cubs of the Wind Horse who are leisurely and cautious, Elminster can always recall the days when he met and lived with the six young sisters. At that time, the six little annoying spirits were comparable to the Wind Horse The cubs are more than a hundred times harder to deal with, those are really nostalgic days of daddy!
However, when countless monsters poured into Shadow Valley, wantonly destroying towns and cottages, and slaughtering innocent lives frantically, Elminster no longer had the heart to pay attention to little Isabella's little plan.With the help of his mage tower disguised as an old house, he kept casting lethal spells on monsters, and occasionally blessed the fleeing local residents with auxiliary spells such as [sole oil].

One of the biggest advantages of the mage tower is that it allows the caster to have a turret that can cast almost unlimited spells. For example, a first-level mage tower allows the caster to use the first-level spells without being restricted by the number of first-level spell slots.

Of course, the consumption of magic materials during the casting process is unavoidable. The firepower duration of a mage tower is directly proportional to the amount of magic consumables stored in the mage tower.Any kind of magic consumables are not cheap, whether it is beeswax, feathers, pure water, or other magic materials.

It can be said that maintaining the operation of the mage tower is an extremely costly luxury project.

Legend has it that during the construction of some legendary mage towers, an element pool will be specially opened to link the elemental plane. When the caster releases spells with the help of the mage tower, elemental substances will be extracted from the element pool to replace ordinary magic. consumables.

There is such a pool of fire elements in the old windmill in Ilmister, which allows him to slaughter monsters with spells to his heart's content, but he doesn't have to worry about going bankrupt due to overcasting.

But when Elminster was slaughtering monsters, little Isabella slipped into her den, picked out two inconspicuous little stones from a pile of gems, and used pink and tender little He rolled his tongue, put it in his mouth, and then wandered around in the mage tower pretending to be nonchalant.

The Mage Tower of the Great Sage is not full of dangerous traps like the Mage Towers of other legendary mages. It is characterized by camouflage and concealment.If a person who doesn't know the truth walks in here, you will definitely think that you are standing in an old windmill. You can even grind a few bags of oats with the millstone driven by the windmill by yourself, and harvest a pile of high-quality oat flour.

If little Isabella came to the side of the fire element pool disguised as a fireplace inadvertently, she looked around thieves. The old human man was hiding in the attic on the top floor of the windmill house and killing all directions. Trembling through the crack of the door, he peeked out at the monsters, but the scribe Hai'ao was holding a dagger and watching the monsters eager to try (the two characters should be one person).

The big and delicate eyes of the Wind Horse cub showed a humane smirk. She spat out the two stones she held in her mouth into the fireplace, looked around guiltily, and walked away whistling as if nothing had happened.

Little Isabella ran to her own dedicated entrance and exit passage, a little nervously waiting for what was about to happen.Soon, Elminster's surprised voice sounded in the windmill, and the old mage shouted: "How could this be? Who is interfering with my spellcasting? Oh! Damn it! Hao, are you going into the fireplace again?" Lost something?"

Haou hurriedly left the crack of the door, screaming with aggrieved face: "I didn't! Old man! I didn't do anything! Really! Hai'ao can testify!"

Speaking of Haou looked at his partner pitifully, Haio joked, "No! He did it! Great sage, I saw him peeing into the fireplace last night!"

Haou was furious. He rushed forward to teach the bad-hearted scribe a lesson, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't! I peed under the windmill last night! I didn't even touch the fireplace!"

Just when several people were quarreling, little Isabella activated her [Invisibility] ability, and quickly rushed out from the dedicated passage. At the same time, she left a heartfelt message to the old mage:
"Naughty big old man! Throwing things in the fireplace was my fault! Hee hee hee! Isabella is free! Isabella is going to see Big William! Hee hee hee— "

"Come back, little guy! It's dangerous outside!" Elminster yelled worriedly.

The little thing left behind a series of laughs, and then stomped away amidst Elminster's shouts.

The wind horse foal was running heartily in the air, the surroundings were indeed very dangerous, there were many flying monsters circling in the air, I believe that if the little guy showed his figure, he would never have a good fruit to eat.

For example, those nasty human-faced vultures, they like to attack the cubs of all kinds of magic horses, such as the wind horse and Pegasus.

With the ability of invisibility, little Isabella flew towards the western sky with all her strength.She knew she had to leave this monster-infested land before she could stop and breathe.
