The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 703 Saving Private Elminster

Qiu Shui Dao was like a free fish swimming among the monsters. Each of its attacks was like scraping, leaving only a shallow wound on the monster's skin, but the results were unexpectedly fruitful.

The reason is only that Qiu Shui Knife's unique soul-cutting property will cause pain far beyond normal physical injuries to the victim.Those unlucky ones who were filled with all their thoughts by the sudden pain forgot the environment they were in. They were caught off guard and involuntarily relaxed their grip on the steep ground, and then they were like abandoned Stones generally fall, and magma may be their only destination.

There were also monsters with a stronger will that withstood the severe pain. They didn't fall for the time being, and they still rushed towards William and Dove fiercely.It's a pity that when William controlled the Qiushui knife to carry out continuous scraping attacks on them, they finally fell down the endless slope and became rolling stones on the hillside.

Not all the monsters saw the scene of William and Dove descending from the teleportation channel. It should be said that most of them did not. They were curious why there were so many idiots playing death roll and express fall in that area. Is the lunatic who knows nothing will come to Jiaoyan Hell to make trouble?

If one wants to live a long time in this land of Jiaoyan Hell, the most important thing is to have too much curiosity.After William cleared all the silly monsters in his sight under Dove's horrified and inexplicable eyes, the surrounding finally became quiet.

Those surviving monsters with winks looked at the two uninvited guests, William and Dove, in fear. Of course, their gazes more often fell on the "swimming fish" circling around William agilely. It can be called a nightmarish psychic sword.

William smiled at Dove, and then the two of them stepped on the trampling ground, passed through the terrified monsters, and climbed in a certain direction.

On the way, Dove whispered: "William, you... your fighting skills really opened my eyes. I only heard Helen say that you are an invincible warrior, but I didn't expect that you are also a master of psionic powers." .”

William replied while walking: "I'm afraid you misunderstood, I am not a person who is good at using psionic power. Besides, can psionic power still be used at this time?"

Dove was surprised and said: "Oh! I forgot that the magic net has been disconnected, so you don't use psionic energy to drive your 'flying knife', then how could your knife fly by itself?"

William smiled and said, "This is my own secret, I don't want to tell you."

Dove snorted "stingy" like a girl, and then the two met a strange guy head-on. It was a monster with an insect face, but walked upright like a human being in a loose robe.

The monster greeted the two humans enthusiastically, of course it was a real greeting, not in a violent way.The monster first spoke to William and Dove in an uncomfortable-sounding language, but William couldn't understand what it was saying.

Dove whispered: "It's a yugoloth demon, and it is speaking to us in purgatory language. Unfortunately, I have not learned purgatory language specifically. It would be great if Simbu or Il were here. They are more proficient in this evil language. foreign language."

The monster—the yugoloth said a few words in Purgatory, perhaps because he found that the two of William hadn't responded, and immediately changed to another language, with a long tone and a wide range, which made people feel confused. a feeling of.

Dove said again: "This time it's Dragon Language. This guy is playing tricks on us, and he has a bit of malicious intentions."

Of course William knew that this yugoloth demon had bad intentions, not to mention that his spiritual perception had been reminding him of the strong malice accumulated in this monster, but William knew much more about the name yugoloth demon than normal people .

The ancient degree of this race can even be traced back to the birth of the first generation of creator races, the predecessor of the Yugoloth Demon, also known as Banaros, and they were almost at the same time as the first generation of creator races with scales (reptiles) born.According to the classification of biology, the earliest Banaros can be regarded as a humanoid evolutionary species of arthropods, such as the Mantis Man and Formian Ant Man, etc. can be regarded as the remaining branches of this race.

Different from the later prosperous and multiverse of the scaly race, when Banaros was about to enter the era of great interstellar development, a trend of thought that pursued racial perfection unexpectedly emerged among the main race, and this should have been in the history of civilization. Banaros, who was supposed to have a place and qualified to be the sixth creator race, was taken off the track of race development.

The main body of Banaros metamorphosed into yugoloths, and their minds became extremely strange. They believed that they were created by the original primordial force.

According to the banned yugoloth scripture "The Book of Forsaken Demons":
In the beginning, all existence was just a chaotic mass, with only the forces of the original origin galloping freely.

Each Force desperately seeks dominance, and the struggle between them warps and deforms the landscape of existence.Good and evil wrestle, law and chaos wrestle, and the neutral force is caught in the middle, contested by other parties.

However, the balance of power between them is too great, and no one side can gain the upper hand in the process of confronting the opponent.

As a result, the force of law combined with good and evil respectively, and the force of chaos was also concocted according to law, and the war entered a new stage.Combined, their strength has increased, but they are still tied, and the war continues in this stalemate.

Finally, they called a truce.

Because they realize that such a fight can only be for nothing, and that something new must break the deadlock.So they created their own minions--creatures that could serve them as well as take part in major battles as their surrogates.

--------

The extreme Banaros believe that one of the original forces created Banaros, and their strengths are incomparable wisdom and cunning minds.And the only value of their existence is to find a way to let their master (the force) win.

These depraved yugoloths believe that the perfection of the yugoloth race was once stained by the dirty hands of law and chaos. As long as they strip off the essence of order and chaos they have, what remains is the purest original. gift of power, and they will become perfect again.

In reality, it's just a horrible hoax.The so-called perfected yugoloths are just a group of poor creatures whose creative talents have been taken away. After all, they lost the qualification to re-climb to the top of the intelligent race, and can only shrink like scum in the scorching hell. own dream of perfection.

It is said that there are sixteen classes in the social structure of yugoloths, but apart from a few yugoloths that show up more, few people can distinguish the types of yugoloths from other classes.

But judging from the current style of the yugoloth, it should have a higher status in the social system of the yugoloth, because it is said that among the previous classes of yugoloth, the higher the status The yugoloth's body and behavior characteristics tend to be more like humanoid creatures. As for what the higher-level yugoloth's form looks like, it is unknown.

Yugoloths are born with telepathic abilities, and they can communicate with any creature with the ability to communicate without barriers.The yugoloth in front of him deliberately greeted William in a language that the two of them could not understand, instead of communicating telepathically, but it was just doing bad things.

Holding the autumn water knife, William asked in the lingua franca of the main material plane: "Your Excellency of the Perfect Clan, why don't you talk to us telepathically?"

The yugoloth demon suddenly showed a look of enlightenment, and it was really hard for it to show such a rich expression change with a bug face.

The yugoloth also said in a common language: "It turns out that you are guests from the main material plane, and the top of the volcano (the name of the yugoloth's name for Jiaoyan Hell) welcomes you. It's lucky, this is Nanasoro before hearing about it. Two days ago, a damn Nicaros demon (a kind of Yugoloth demon) picked up an old man from the main material plane, and made a small fortune because of it. It seems that Nanasoro is also going to be big today Make some money."

William smiled and asked, "Is your Excellency so sure that you can beat us?"

Nanasolo said with a sly smile: "Among all the guests from the main material plane, powerful psykers (meaning spellcasters) will always be the most awe-inspiring existence for Nanasolo, but it's a pity that now The entire top of the volcano has become a dead magic area (referring to the area where magic cannot be used and cannot be connected to the magic net), those fearsome guys have become toothless tigers, and Nanasolo can no longer feel Frightened.

If you are psykers, then Nanasolo will entertain you well, and feel the joy of torturing a big man by the way.And if you are not psykers, Nanasolo doesn't have to worry about you. "

Indeed, due to the addition of environmental terrain, basically any outsider will be suppressed in melee combat when facing the local yugoloth.

William nodded in agreement, and said, "What you said is very reasonable, Mr. Nanasolo. By the way, I heard that one of your race made a small fortune two days ago. I'm curious. How do you make money in such a desolate place?"

Nanasolo pointed to the small burning blood moon in the black high sky with his arthropod-like arm, and said: "There is a very big market in the Crimson Country, where you can buy any Things, of course you can sell anything, including Nanasoro himself. Also, don't compare rude guys like Nicaros with Nanasoro, Nanasoro is a higher Utroth Demon (Super Roth Demon)."

William patted Dove, who was a little impatient, and continued: "Okay, Your Excellency Nanasolo. Did that lowly Nicaros demon make his fortune in that market?"

Nanasolo said: "Of course not. If that idiot dares to enter the market, then it will become someone else's goods. The luckiest thing about that bastard is that it met a trustworthy big devil on the way , the great devil generously paid the reward and bought the prey from the main material plane."

William pretended to be vigilant and said, "Nanasoro, don't you also want to sell our siblings to that big devil?"

Nanasolo smiled dryly and said, "Nanasolo, although I really want to do that, it's a pity that the big devil has already visited the creeping city. Before he leaves the moving city, anyone who wants to find the big devil The yugoloths traded by the devil can only wait."

William turned to Dove and said, "Look, we have found the trace of the old man. Next, we will go find the big devil and rescue the old man."

Dove nodded happily and said, "William, I didn't expect you to be so cunning. Fortunately, I have always been worried that you would only use violence to solve problems."

"Huh? Ma'am, are you underestimating me?!" William said pretending to be very unhappy.

Seeing William and Dove frolicking there like no one else, Utros Monasolo felt as if he had been insulted, and he said angrily: "You two idiots! Didn't you see that Master Nanasoro is here? I said, are you stupid! Master Nanasolo is not a generous and benevolent yugoloth, I will take you to the market and sell you to those devils as slaves."

Dove said with a smile: "Uncle Nanasolo, but the two of us want to go to Creeping City."

Nanasolo refused mercilessly: "No, we are going to the market in the Crimson Country. Grandpa Nanasolo has the final say here."

William clenched his fists loudly, and said with a smile, "Master Nanasolo, it seems that the two of us have to discuss it. Who has the final say here."

Then one person and one yugoloth had a warm and friendly exchange with each other. After William broke off 80.00% of the limbs of Uncle Nanasoro's body like breaking sugar cane, Mr. Nanasoro finally knew He gave up his insistence and handed over the choice of the path to two humans from the main material plane.

Of course, this does not mean that Master Nanasoro has resigned to his fate. Yugoloth is famous for its wisdom and cunning.When the two of them were walking on the road together, Uncle Nanasolo, who was acting as a guide, tried several times to guide the team to certain dangerous areas.

However, this human man from the main material plane is terribly vigilant. He always leaves the dangerous situation in time before the danger comes, and then uses his fist to roughly comfort the sincere Mr. Nanasoro, and then the big guy walks on again. the right path.

But in the dungeon of a huge city that was separated by countless distances, the old mage Elminster was lying on the ground with bruises all over his body, dying. When I got up, I was about to die.

A handsome devil next to him said to another big devil like a giant: "My lord, this human being is being tormented by a terrible energy, and his physique obviously cannot bear the burden of this force, unless he can become more powerful." Be strong, otherwise no one will be able to save him."

The big devil looked at Elminster solemnly, with obvious hesitation on his face, but he quickly made a decision and shouted: "Prepare to pray for the altar, this slave can't die yet, I want to Squeeze enough wealth out of him to recover my loss."

The handsome devil looked at its owner in astonishment, then curled his lips involuntarily, thinking: Hehe, even recovering the loss, I'm afraid the more you invest, the greater the loss!This time it's good, even the precious [Great Wish] is willing to throw it in?Are you afraid that you won't go broke fast enough?Hey, I'm afraid I have to change the master to serve again this time. "

Even though the devil's servant has so many psychological activities, he has to obediently prepare for the great devil to save Elminster's altar of prayer.

You ask why this big devil is so willing to invest in saving Elminster, of course it is because he sees enough benefits.
