The Swordsman of Faerûn

Lord Moglin of Shadow Valley left angrily, and most of the high-level officials of Shadow Valley also left in despair.As for the guards who were knocked down, except for a few who were severely injured by Phinya, the rest of the injuries were not very serious, and they helped each other and left.

The ugly-faced Storm and Dove whispered a few words, then gave William and the others a hard look, and turned their heads to leave.For the people of Shadow Valley, the intelligence of Zhentil Castle is much more important than William and his group of "little bastards" who know nothing about heights and heights in Dagger Valley.

Dove stayed to deal with William's garbage and spoiled food and the hacked Garapuno. Of course, she also had a task, which was to supervise William and his group.

Dove definitely didn't have to do it herself to dispose of the garbage on the ground. She just greeted the drinkers in the hotel, and then issued a hiring task to clean up the garbage, and many people jumped out to help.

Dove has a high reputation in the Old Skull Hotel, which is entirely due to the fact that she often drinks with the alcoholics, but always keeps a safe distance from them, which is beyond the reach of the storm. That woman often drank people to bed.

This situation may be a pleasant surprise for a lucky person, but it is a silent irony for most drinkers.So most of the time, most self-aware drinkers will stay away from Lady Storm, unless she shows special favor for herself.

Not only the drinkers rolled up their sleeves to work, but the hotel owner Jarr also ordered his waiters to help. After all, these smelly things piled up here, but it affected her own business.

William finished picking things, of course he didn't want to stay here and continue to smell the smell, he bought two barrels of wine and wort wine from the tavern owner, and of course he had to pay double the price, the philistine Jarr claimed that It was William paying for the murders on her property, because the tavern waiter had to wash the floors later.

William left the hotel with his family, and they were not planning to return to the temporary residence that was leaky and leaky, but went directly to the pier in the town.

To William's surprise, Dove actually followed.William signaled the others to go to the pier first. He turned around and stopped Dove and asked, "Ms. Dove, we are leaving this town. Please follow us, do you have any advice?"

Dove said with a melancholy look: "Lord William, I am sorry for the injustice you and your people suffered in Shadow Valley. It was my negligence that caused you to be treated differently.

But this should not be an excuse for war between Dagger Valley and Shadow Valley. The faults and grievances of just a few people should not be a reason for more people to bleed to death. "

William sighed and said, "Ms. Dove, if you are here to persuade me to give up hostility to Shadow Valley, then please don't open your mouth. You need to understand one thing, the decision I made not only represents Not only myself, but also my subordinates and people.”

Dove said excitedly: "Then you shouldn't threaten another city-state with war. William, would you like to watch your friends and relatives bleed on the battlefield?"

William looked at Dove in surprise. He knew that although Dove looked young and beautiful, he was actually an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years. age beauty.

But at this moment, William found that although this silver-haired woman had good strength, she was very naive in some aspects, and felt that she had lived like a dog all her life.

Regardless of whether Dove really didn't expect it, or she deliberately pretended to be stupid, at least Dove should understand one thing. When William publicly shouted the slogan of using war to wash away shame, the people of Dagger Valley had no way out.

There are many reasons for launching wars in this world. Whether it is for righteous or evil purposes, when two opposing war machines are in operation, unless one side gives in completely and unconditionally, war will eventually be inevitable.

William and his group, who occupy a little bit of righteousness, can be regarded as well-known teachers. They must not play the role of unconditional retreat, otherwise not only William, but the people of the entire Dagger Valley will also be in danger in the future. Never look up old.

Dove continued naively persuading: "Lord William, it is absolutely impossible for Dagger Valley to be the opponent of Shadow Valley. Even if our sisters don't intervene, it is very difficult for you to win. We hope you can put the overall situation first and go find Lord Moglin admits his mistake, apologizes, and removes the threat of war on both sides."

William's heart was extremely tired. He frowned and said, "Ms. Dove! There are many things in this world that are more important than personal life and honor. The things that Dagger Valley needs to fight for also belong to this category. Occupation, and some other reasons, the people of Dagger Valley have always been low-minded, and now is a good time to build people's self-confidence."

Dove said with a face of disapproval: "Is there anything more important than human life?"

William said solemnly: "Of course! Dignity! Whether it is the dignity of an individual or a country, it cannot be underestimated. Let me put it another way, Dove, would you respect a farmer in the country? Do you think that a farmer Is it as high as yours?"

Dove replied without hesitation: "I will! I respect all farmers and recognize their identities."

William almost spit out a mouthful of reverse blood, you mother-in-law didn't answer according to common sense!I can't talk today.

So he changed the subject and asked: "Dorph, Shiron once took a young wind horse from my house, I think you should have heard of it. She came back to us a few days ago, but I haven't seen her for the past two days, and I want to know where Isabella the pony is now?"

Dove also knew that persuading people should not be stalking. When she heard William's question, she immediately replied: "You mean little Isabella? That cute little thing should be in the Temple of the Dawn Hall, Omar ( Elminster's surname) feared that the little one would get lost again, so she was temporarily locked up."

Nima!No wonder the little guy disappeared for several days. It turned out that he was locked up by someone.

William knew what the Hall of Dawn was like. This was the gorgeous sanctuary of Lathander, the Lord of Dawn. Its appearance was more gorgeous than any building William had seen in Faerun.It is said that even the Lord of Dawn himself (god) couldn't help being amazed after seeing this overly luxurious sanctuary.

But William knows a secret that only the gods know. There is a plane node at the location of the Hall of Dawn. Standing on the node, one can summon the ladder passage of the kingdom of heaven through special rituals, and then step on any god's Kingdom of God.

Of course, William doesn't know that special ritual, and he has no interest in exploring its secrets, just like Hieron was once warned by a certain god named Azuth, knowing too much will hurt everyone. no good.

William turned around and walked quickly towards the Hall of Dawn. Dove sprinted a few steps to catch up and asked, "Where are you going?"

William said: "I'm going to find Isabella and take that little thing out of this place of right and wrong."

Dove chased him and said, "Stay with Elminster, and the pony will be safe. Elminster is the most powerful mage in the world."

William didn't want to pay attention to Dove's self-righteousness, but when he stepped into the Hall of Dawn, just in time to see a tall old man with gray beard and hair leaving through a portal, William realized that it wasn't just him and Honey. Luna can maintain contact with the magic net in the disconnected state of the magic net, and the same is true for the famous Great Sage of Shadow Valley.

But Elminster's departure is also a good thing, at least William doesn't need to meet him directly when begging for Isabella, so as to avoid some unpleasant things from time to time.

The Hall of Dawn is not only where Elminster settles, it is also the gathering point for the followers of the Lord of Dawn in the Valley of Shadows. Countless priests and paladins who believe in Lathander gather here, especially this one that is connected to the gods. Disconnected, the hearts of the believers are full of moments of confusion, and the Hall of Dawn has almost become the last sustenance of the believers of Dawn.

Therefore, when William walked into the Hall of Dawn, the second scene he saw was the prayer ceremony being held by countless morning believers. They kept using mirrors to simulate sunlight, and then let those who were illuminated by the reflected light of the mirror sing hymn.

That scene was quite strange, but the disciples of Dawn were so absorbed in it that no one paid any attention to the arrival of William and Dove.

The Hall of Dawn has a large building area, and William doesn't want to wander around without thinking. Although the perception from the heart is enough to guide him, William still grabs a young paladin and asks him, or should he say It's her, about the whereabouts of little Isabella.

The female paladin wearing the heavy Dawn armor was very dissatisfied with being interrupted in the prayer ceremony, but out of the sincere habit of paladins, and William was accompanied by Dove, this somewhat angry female paladin told the truth honestly. The information that this hateful man wants to know.

When William saw little Isabella, the little thing was crouching in a magic cage studded with gems, fiddling with a bunch of magic gems.

The little thing was very happy to see William, and she hurriedly shouted: "Big William! Big William! Come and save Isabella! The bad old man locked me up again!"

"Don't run around alone in the future, be careful next time I can only find your bones in goblin feces." William said jokingly, while pulling out the autumn water knife, he slashed open the cage, and the enchanted man on it The spell didn't help either.

Little Isabella got out of the shackles, and immediately flew around in mid-air happily, and at the same time shouted excitedly: "Bad William, don't scare me, stupid goblins can't catch Isabella! I am very good at it!" hiding!"

But when Isabella tried to activate the spell [Invisibility] that belongs to the young wind horse, nothing happened, but Isabella didn't notice it yet, and she was circling around William while feeling proud Said: "Haha! You can't see me! You can't see me! You can't see me..."

William sighed, and Dove almost collapsed from laughter, the woman's smile was too low.He grabbed the pony by the neck and said angrily: "Idiot! The ass is exposed! Let's go!"

But little Isabella shouted in panic: "Impossible! My spells are very powerful, how can I show my butt?" She raised her head and looked at her own tail, but it attracted Dove again. I can't stop laughing.

William entered the Hall of Dawn and left without being stopped by any believers of Dawn. Perhaps for these believers of Lathander, even if the sky fell, it was more important than for them to regain the gift of the Lord of Dawn.

Arriving at the pier in the town of Shadow Valley, a ship in a bottle has been released.At a time when almost all magic and magic items are ineffective, only Miluna has the ability to activate the ship in a bottle that has almost become an ordinary handicraft, and even William does not have this ability.

William let go of Isabella, who had been chattering and losing her temper all the way. This little thing thought she had lost the protection of [Invisibility] because she had grown up!By the way, most adult wind horses will lose the [Invisibility] spell, of course, they can also relearn this spell and use it as their regular spell.

After seeing the magic boat, Xiaofengzhima immediately rushed to the little girls with joy. She wanted to show them her experience of being imprisoned for the past two days, and of course she had to tell her grievances in order to win some money. Sympathy between little sisters.

And William turned his head and said to Dove, who had been keeping pace, "Ms. Dove, I'm leaving, please go back."

Dove shook her head and said, "I won't go, I will follow you until the day you give up the war."

William shook his head and said, "It's up to you! But I will leave by boat, and there is no place for you on board."

Dove smiled slyly and said, "Your ship should have a seat for Hellen. I am Hellen's biological sister, and I have the right to exercise her qualifications to take your ship instead."

William looked at this innocent-looking lady, sighed and stopped talking, but he didn't stop her from getting on the boat.

The magic boat broke through the water and went upstream, but William did not leave Shadow Valley directly, but turned a corner along the river, and stopped at another slightly lower hill next to Old Skull Mountain, and then he Take the others to the top of the hill.

With the barrier of the Old Skull Mountain, it is difficult for the people of Shadow Valley to find their traces, but William and others can overlook most of the situation in Shadow Valley Town, which surprised Dove very much.

She couldn't help asking: "William, you seem to be very familiar with the terrain here, how do you know that standing on the Watcher's Hill can monitor the entire Shadow Valley Town?"

William said: "It turns out that this place is called Watcher's Hill. Ms. Dove, I am not obliged to answer your question, but I can still explain it to you. This is based on my war intuition about geographical terrain, and the line of sight is all On the contrary, I can see the outline of this hill in Shadow Valley Town, so standing on this hill, I can naturally see Shadow Valley Town."

Dove asked curiously, "What do you want to do here?"

William sighed and said, "In Shadow Valley Town, especially when standing in the Hall of Dawn, I felt a fatal crisis. I want to see what that crisis is."

Of course, William didn't tell the truth. He really felt that a war worse than the monster invasion was about to break out in Shadow Valley. His real purpose was to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and see which unlucky ones were coming to join in the fun.
