The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 702 Everyone Is Playing Me
The team for the Misty Valley was assembled at an unprecedented speed. For some reason, every link was smooth and a bit abnormal. Whether it was personnel selection or material preparation, it was always perfected at a rapid speed.

Although Storm Silverhand has been swaying in front of William, trying his best to persuade him to give up his hostility to Misty Valley, but it failed to bring even the slightest delay to the expedition team.

Every decision William made and every government order he implemented gave Phinea (let’s call it Phinea) a sense of intoxication, limited by (real) Phinea’s thinking ability and She sometimes finds it difficult to understand some of William's unconventional decrees, but often these unique practices can always bring unexpected results.

Gradually, whenever William made a resolution that she couldn't understand, Phinea always felt confused, even if she couldn't understand the true meaning of it temporarily.

William personally led the expedition to set off. They were disguised as the Mist Knights returning from victory, and they took three warships from the Misty Valley and all the small boats that the Shadow Valley could collect (they will be used to load future spoils. ——grain), formed a long fleet down the river.

This time, Feniya did not go out with the team. As the lord's wife on the bright side, she took the place of William in the Valley of Shadows and guarded the inheritance that would belong to her children in the future.

And the three little girls went out with the ship. According to William, he wanted to train them to become female generals who could be independent in the future, but Phinea readily agreed to this.

However, there is a vast virgin jungle between the Shadow Valley and the Misty Valley. If there is no direct flight connection from the Asaba River, it is almost impossible to travel between the two. , almost no other effective channel can be found.

Of course, if one has the ability to fly, the sky is a more convenient channel than the river.

At night, on a small boat of the expedition fleet, William, Storm, Dove, and Charlotte are hiding in the cabin for a secret meeting.William said with a cold face: "Ms. Storm, I have had enough of acting. I hope your plan can be really effective, otherwise I will use my own way to save people."

Charlotte said: "Human boy! You don't know that terrible guy. Not to mention how difficult it is to locate a certain existence on the etheric plane, even if you find it, once the other party notices it, you will always be there." And don't even try to get back who you want."

William took a deep breath and suppressed the impatience in his chest. How could he not understand the importance of it? If he hadn't been worried about being a rat, William would have killed him with a knife, but there are always things in this world that are not just relying on Quacking random killing can solve it.

Whenever William tried to hack the impostor, the warnings from his senses reminded him that he was killing Phinea.Therefore, even though William has the strength to slay gods and demons, tear apart giant dragons with his hands, and has countless secret knowledge in his mind that ordinary people cannot touch, he is still powerless.

Fortunately, William once heard Helen tell a little secret that there is a shapeshifter named Charenty in the Valley of Shadows, and William also suspects that the counterfeit next to him may be a similar existence.

When he actually met Charlotte and learned the secret of the spirit world shapeshifter from her, he suddenly realized that his caution was right.

It turns out that every time the spirit shapeshifter disguises himself, he will use his special ability to control a target creature in his image, and bring him back to the secret room of his home on the etheric plane, and the two parties will reach an exchange of identities.These disguised prototype creatures will not suffer in this transaction, but will get some coveted rewards, including but not limited to wealth, treasures, power, knowledge, and even a piece of memory.

But for those who are attracted but unwilling, the spirit shapeshifter will use the natural ability to erase all the relevant memories of the other party, and then send them back to the original place, as if nothing happened.

And those who agreed to the deal but backed out halfway, their fate is not so good.Because the mystery of the soul is involved in this transaction (some precognitive spells and abilities cannot see through the disguise of the spirit world shapeshifter), these defaulters will automatically lose their soul ownership, and they will be sold as slaves to the outer layer existence of planes.

The outer plane is so vast, if the real Feniya is really sold, it will be ten thousand times more difficult for William to find her than to find a needle in a haystack.

But this kind of thing is difficult for William, but it is not too difficult for some people.

The storm said in a low voice: "Everyone, I will repeat this plan to hide the sky and cross the sea again. On the surface, Charlotte will disguise herself as William and be responsible for commanding the expeditionary force to attack the Misty Valley. I will act as a supporter of the Misty Valley and delay the expedition fleet. Steps. William, you and Dove need to go deep into the unknown to rescue Elminster, remember only the old man knows how to navigate in the etheric plane, he is your only hope."

William hesitated for a moment and said, "I will do my best to rescue Elminster. But I have a question, what happened to Misha, has she been transferred as well?"

Charlotte said: "That child is real, but she was first selected by that bastard from outside, but the child did not agree, although her memory has not been replaced, but her memory has been tampered with, which is a bit wrong It couldn't be more normal. Don't worry, after the guy from the spirit world is expelled, the child will naturally return to normal."

The anger in William's heart became deeper and deeper. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ms. Storm, I hope you don't lie to me. If my wife can be successfully rescued this time, I will give everything I have to repay you." .But if you just use my words, you will gain one of the world's most terrible enemies, even if you are Heron's sisters."

Storm forced a smile and said, "William doesn't have a foolproof plan in this world. I can only say that besides Elminster, it's hard for you to find another person who can help you."

Dove stepped forward and shook William's palm, and said solemnly: "Mr. William, I will accompany you all the way. If there is any discrepancy, believe me, I will use my life to make up for you."

It turned out that William, Storm and others also reached a cooperation plan similar to a transaction. First, William was the main force to go to the alien plane to rescue the exiled Elminster, and then they used the alien world located in the outer plane to rescue the exiled Elminster. The big portal goes to the Wuji Peak in the outer domain, and finally directs the etheric plane through the Wanxiangmen system of the imprint city of the capital of ten thousand gates, capturing the etheric drifter where Phineya's real body is (also the home of the alien shapeshifter).

It is not difficult to find Elminster. There is a unique inner connection between the magic voters. Only some secret rituals are needed. Storm and Dove can easily locate the old mage. The key is who to send to find him return.

Now is the era of magic disappearing (this has happened more than once in history), all spellcasters have basically become a dish, but now only those strong fighters who have truly achieved great power Only then are you qualified to run out.

And William is undoubtedly the one with the most potential among all the qualified characters. Not only does he have extraordinary combat power, but he is also endowed with a super-authorized omnipotent spell position. Storm and others can't imagine it. Besides this one, where else could they find a more suitable warrior for adventure.

You said why you didn’t turn to Miluna for help, but the reason was Misha’er. This little girl’s memory has been modified. Once Miluna uses any spells related to the outer plane, the little guy will be affected by some mysterious power. The brain will make a change, and the fake Phinea on the other side will respond.

Therefore, Miluna needs to help William isolate Misha'er's sense of plane-like spells, and she can't get away for the time being.

The boat carrying William and others secretly left the main fleet. They boarded the river bank in the dense jungle, came to an altar that had been prepared, and waited for the arrival of midnight.

The spell slot mechanism of the caster is a very peculiar existence. Any spell caster can only use a limited number of limited spells in a day.Within 24 hours of a day, no matter whether you have used up the rated number of spells for the day or not, your spell slots will be refreshed and restored at the last midnight.You can neither overdraw spellcasting, nor will the spell slots not consumed in the previous 24 hours be accumulated the next day.

Based on the unique mechanism of spell slots, many spellcasters have also realized a spellcasting method similar to a card bug. When they need a large number of spell slots to do certain things in a short period of time, they will choose to use them before midnight. It's time to use up the spell slots of the day, and then wait for a while, after midnight, the new day's spell slot quota will arrive, but they can continue to enjoy the second round of spell casting.

And what William and the others are doing now is the same routine.After all, William only has one universal spell slot, and if he wants to locate Elminster and go to his location to rescue him, he needs to consume at least two spell slots.

A quarter of an hour before midnight, the storm greeted everyone and said, "The time is up. William, Dove, get ready, we are about to start."

William didn't know the spell to be cast, but with the help of the unique knowledge of the magic elect and the magic altar set up in advance, William could smoothly cast this powerful spell used to build the plane channel.

As a portal was opened in the center of the altar, the endless scorching breath and unpleasant sulfur smell came from the other side of the passage, making people's noses itchy.The storm probe looked at the scenery on the other side, then turned back and said: "Bad news, the other side is the eternal and desolate scorching hell. William, Dove, you have to be careful, the environment there is very harsh, I suggest that you first Put on your spiked boots first."

William has heard of the Scorching Hell, which is a terrible plane composed of four huge super active volcanoes with a diameter of 10,000+ kilometers (in fact, there are more small volcanoes, because the void of the Scorching Hell is infinite ), not to mention the deadly volcanic gas and terrible temperature, any creatures who set foot in the scorching hell have to face a very serious problem. The terrain here is basically a volcanic slope, and they have to pass a lucky enough balance Test (climbing identification), those who pass can stay in place in a climbing posture, while those who fail will fall into the vast expanse of super volcanic magma and be burned to ashes like falling off a cliff.

Therefore, some experienced planar adventurers invented a sharp weapon for walking and trekking in the burning hell - spiked boots.Common spikes use steel nails, but this kind of spike shoes cannot be used for walking on the steep volcano slopes of Jiaoyan Hell for a long time, because the high temperature underground will soften the steel nails.

By the way, the surface of this scorching hell is very strange. Touching the surface with normal hands or feet will only make people feel a little hot, but it is still tolerable (similar to the touch of fifty degrees water temperature).But once a foreign object such as a sword or a steel nail is inserted below the surface of the ground, the temperature there is enough to burn copper and iron.

The spiked boots worn by William and Dove are naturally not ordinary high-end products. The nails are derived from high-temperature-resistant materials deep in the flames of the volcano. These spiked boots are called Scorched Hell Heels, also known as Volcanic Walking Boots.

A few minutes later, at one o'clock when the two Feren days were separated, William's omnipotent spell position was restored. He solemnly said goodbye to Storm and the others, and then grabbed Dove's arm, and the two exchanged words. Relying on it, he activated the plane walking technique.

When they poked their heads out at one end of the Jiaoyan Hell, they found that there were countless grotesque beings crouching around the landing point, yelling and screaming at the plane channel frantically, and William and Dove felt their heads were getting bigger.

Of course, those monsters didn't want to eat these two fresh meat delivered to their door (and some greedy guys were not ruled out), they wanted to leave this terrible plane through this sudden plane passage.

Of course, William would not do what these monsters wished. After all, it is a very taboo behavior to open a plane portal and send a large number of monsters to cross boundaries.

After he and Dove fell to the ground, the plane channel was immediately closed.

The sharp spikes pierced the rock wall, and a fiery stream of fire spread out from the ground, but the boots tanned with dragon skin protected the soles of the owner's feet, but William and Dove had to bend down to fight against the seemingly A little tilted gravity.

Those monsters who went mad because the channel of the plane was closed quickly found William and Dove, and they rushed angrily at the two new uninvited guests, of course, they launched the charge in a climbing posture.It's just that these monsters were so excited that many of them broke off the ground, and were dragged into the boundless volcanic crater by gravity, howling.

The rest of the monsters still charged towards the two of William unaffected, but their movements were much more careful.

Dove looked at the number of scary monsters a little worriedly, and then said to William with a simple expression: "William, you go first, I will hold them back!"

William smiled lightly and said indifferently: "Why are you going?! These monsters with no eyes should be the ones to go!"

Then, under Dove's worried eyes, he threw his Autumn Water Knife.

However, Qiu Shuidao flew obliquely for a while in mid-air as if bent by some force, and then quickly regained his balance.
