The Swordsman of Faerûn

The pursuit of the great devil Negar and the rescue of Yin Erminster cannot be completed in a short period of time, and William has a clear understanding of this.

Of course, it does not mean that the great devil is too powerful or that William is not strong enough, but that a third party secretly stepped in and deliberately hindered William's pursuit in a unique way. That would invite even more trouble.

After the two hunts failed, William's spiritual perception faintly told him that even if he continued to hunt ten or twenty times, the result would still be the same, and he must always be one step away from his goal.

Because someone is fiddle with the melody of fate.

The appearance of that woman—the Lingji actually told William the answer, either fall into the vortex of fate, or go to Kong Randa, accept the test of the seed of detachment, or break the shackles of fate, and show his detachment Nature.

William is a bit regretful now, regretting why he was so mean in the first place, and insisted on doing things that he couldn't figure out.After all, he himself knows himself best, and it is impossible for him to come up with some scriptures that transcend the sea of ​​suffering to send away those spirit macaques who are moved by the smell.

William could almost guess that Airi, the macaque stranded in Jiaoyan Hell, might be suspicious of him, so he could only do the opposite, and prepare to do some sensational things to divert their attention, such as saving a group of distressed people. Humanity.

Finding a living in Jiaoyan Hell is not an easy task, especially for the disadvantaged human beings, it is extremely difficult. It is definitely the beginning of the real hell.

The first problem people face in Creeping City is the acquisition of food, but it is basically difficult for all flesh and blood creatures to get rid of food intake.However, the harsh environment of the Scorching Hell almost leaves the world's most extensive food source - green plants - with little room for survival.

Under normal circumstances, there are three primary food sources for the creatures in the Scorching Hell.One is that there are some unique edible creatures living in the boundless magma sea, such as the fire dragon is one of the more precious ones; the second food source is the input from outside the world, the attack of Jiaoyan Hell on other planes, Not only plundering the other party's population and mineral resources, food is also an important part of it.

This third food source is quite special. It is said that in the core area of ​​Creeping City, there is a super-large organic substance synthesis factory, and thousands of tons of organic pus rich in nutrients are produced every moment. , and poured into the supply pipelines all over the creeping city.

And people only need to open a hole like a water well on the ground of Creeping City, and they can dig out barrels of organic matter like mining oil. These organic matter can be directly used as nutrient solution to drink (it is said that the taste is worse than eating shit. a thousand times worse), and can also be used to raise some of the clumsier domestic animals, such as ambulls.

Ambulls are the most common breed of livestock in the ancient insect empires (including some of the current Zerg planes). It is said that during the most prosperous period of the insect empire, ambulls even developed tens of thousands of branded species. However, there are two main types that are more common today.

One is the meat-type swollen ant cow. This kind of fat, white and fat guy is like an oversized silkworm baby. The meat is tender and juicy, rich in a lot of oil, energy and protein. The taste of green bean worms is similar (I don’t know how many friends have eaten green bean worms when they were young).

Another type is the honey aphid cow, which is a mutant ambull that can secrete a large amount of sugar.The urine of honey aphid cows contains about 15.00% to [-]% sugar, and this is not the most powerful, even crystallized particles of sugar can be found in the excretion of honey aphid cows.

Although the origin of these sugars is not so elegant, it is undeniable that the honey aphid cow is definitely one of the highest sugar-producing organisms in the entire biological world.

In a plane world with a harsh environment like Jiaoyan Hell, being able to own a honey aphid cow is definitely a top brand asset, even more awesome than running a money printing machine at home.

Of course, the honeydew cow is not a luxury that the humans in Creeping City can have. They can't even guarantee that there is one in every gathering area. Like an old hen that lays eggs, it is used to exchange material wealth, not food to satisfy appetite.

But when night fell, a group of combined marauders composed of hobgoblins and orcs rushed into the human gathering area howling.They had already looted the other two elves and dwarves gathering areas that had been visited by conch ships during the day, and they wanted to come here to make some money while humans were just "traumatized".

However, as soon as these idiots entered the gathering area, they saw something they never wanted to see-a fallen conch ship.Then they were surrounded by William and his soldiers who had already been in full battle. These robbers finally fell under the knife of William and others, and they also accepted the stolen goods that the robbers had just acquired, including two Precious swollen ant calf.

After cleaning up the robbers, William and Dove finally got a chance to rest completely. Elder Steele graciously gave up his warm crypt as a resting place for William and Dove.

However, when William was about to fall asleep, Dove touched him quietly. She actively grabbed William's body and whispered in his ear: "My William, as your partner, maybe I I can't help you much in battle, but I can soothe your soul. You have experienced too many killings and fierce fights during the day, and those cruel scenes will inevitably leave in your body an indelible anger and fear. Now , pour them all on me!"

But the next day, William found that he was not as free and easy as Ms. Dove in certain things.William always has too much affection and sympathy for the ladies he has been in close contact with, while Dove is calm when facing last night's partner.

For William, Dove did not show any more intimacy than before, as if nothing had happened between them.

Ms. Dove's unique temperament made William feel a little sentimental.

On a new day, William arranged for manpower to start planning for the human gathering area. He sent people to the dwarf gathering area to recruit manpower. After all, most dwarves can be regarded as relatively good stonemasons, and their construction skills are not bad. Find them Coming to work as a castle construction worker can be regarded as giving full play to their talents.

There is also a group of people who are responsible for going to other human settlements, and they need to persuade those people to relocate and live here.

The relocation work involving the five human settlements is very troublesome and cumbersome. It is not something that can be done with just a few words and a decision. The issues involved cover almost all aspects.

The first to arrive were the leaders of all human gathering areas. Among them were fertile people like Steele, a few powerful combat professionals, an excellent assassin (professional level 14), and three of them were still able to get The warriors who went out, and a few rangers, bards, and Drew Yin whose strength was greatly reduced due to the disconnection of the magic net.

Of course, there is also a group of new-generation young people like the little thief Selena Steele, who represent the future elite of the entire human group.If an enemy jumped out at this time and wiped out this group of people, then the entire human beings in Jiaoyan Hell would basically have their backbones broken.

When these elites from the five gathering areas gathered here and witnessed the conch-hull ships docked on the ground, and the flame griffin knights flying and patrolling in the air nearby from time to time, a certain feeling suddenly appeared in their hearts. a tendency.

And the scene of a group of newly recruited dwarf artisans working in full swing makes these people a little bit separated. Without it, in Creeping City, these weak humanoid intelligent races can find a job without being caught. The job of eating (literally) is just too easy.

William was going to kill a monkey today, but before he set off, he went to meet another big man.

General Jiao Yan has been spying on William secretly. She is quite afraid of this extremely strong man who suddenly appeared. After all, she almost got a slap in the face when she met him. Wandering around in the city's lair, don't you have to be on tenterhooks all day long.

When William came to the door, General Jiao Yan was very panicked. After all, she had already started to inquire about William's information from the intelligence community on the main plane. Frightened into a few cold sweats, how the hell did this grow up to be a god-level murderer.

After the two elders William and General Jiao Yan exchanged a few pleasantries, William directly clarified the purpose of coming. He said that he would take some people out to set off fireworks, and then asked General Jiao Yan to stay with him when he was not around. Take care of the humans in Creeping City, and don't let some blind guy take the opportunity to dig out his lair. If there is something wrong, then don't blame him, William, who came back and went crazy and ruined the entire Creeping City upside down.

The overt or implicit threats in William's words almost drove the unyielding General Jiao Yan crazy, but she still held back the anger in her heart, and told William that the Creeping City was the territory of her high-ranking Rothmoor clan, and then Tsundere said that no one can play wild in her crawling city of General Jiao Yan.

William was very satisfied with General Jiao Yan's subtext. Before leaving, he pointed to his eyes and cheered for General Jiao Yan: "Good work! General Jiao Yan, I am optimistic about you!"

Not long after, William and a group of fireworks viewing groups left Creeping City on a seized conch shell ship. Their departure attracted a lot of attention, whether it was General Jiao Yan who was jumping violently and loudly venting his dissatisfaction, or the mysterious The female spirit Ki Ai Rui, or some guys who have some thoughts about the human gathering area, were all attracted by this.

When a few dishonest guys got out from their hiding enemies and were about to go to the human gathering area to make troubles, they were directly blocked by the angry General Jiao Yan, and then they felt angry. General Jiao Yan from the local government finally found some useful punching bags for herself. She cleaned up these bastards who "deliberately" made trouble for her, and let them finally understand why the creeping city's surname is "Jiao Yan". inflammation".

However, it is said that William and his party are flying in the sky of the Flaming Mountains in a conch-hull ship. For most of the passengers on board, this is definitely an unprecedented and novel journey.

If William hadn't appeared, perhaps most of them would take this kind of boat again in the future, but their identities would definitely be prisoners on the boat, and it would be a one-way doomsday journey. trip.

Where can it be like now, they can walk around and visit the cabin at will, and if they feel bored, they can go to the deck, look down from the air, and enjoy the wonders of the Jiaoyan Hell.

However, the visibility in the sky of the Flame Mountain Range is not very high. Small active volcanoes erupting here can be seen everywhere. Most of the slope-shaped ground is filled with semi-solidified thick magma, and the air is filled with feather-like soft gray dust, as if scattered everywhere. The terrible blizzard, accompanied by the choking smell of sulfur.

When the conch ship passed a certain burning mountain, people saw a small moon-like arc building group on it, and here were all pointed buildings from the bottom, including many minarets, like a network of streets connecting everywhere.

Even in mid-air, one can feel that everything is clean, all the buildings are comfortable and beautifully crafted, and there are residents coming and going, each of them is friendly and accommodating to each other , seems to be very polite, no matter who or what race they are facing each other.

For normal residents of Jiaoyan Hell, this place is undoubtedly a paradise-like place.

But William felt a huge threat from it, this is not a good place.And William's perception is undoubtedly correct, because many well-informed people know that the place below is really not a good place to go.

This is Nimicree, and the essence of Nimiclay—whether it's buildings, people, or everything—is a fake town turned into a gigantic avatar.

What William and the others are going to is the fourth largest mountain range in Scorching Hell - the Silent Mountain Range, a super extinct volcano that has been silent for nearly a thousand years.The mountain peaks here stand up like big black pillars in the dark night, and this level is shrouded in silence, there is no breeze blowing, no light shining, and almost no sound.

The Silent Mountains are a dead place.

For there is a dreadful city of death—Lone Hope, the castle of Merif the Lich King.

Although Guwang City has exquisite and complex obsidian buildings, it is a city like a morgue, where there are street lamps like the shining eyes of carnivores and streets flying with necromantic energy.

The guys wandering in the Silent Mountains have basically learned to keep quiet, so as not to be heard by Murriff. Those guys who don't understand these principles are almost all captured by the liches in the City of Lonely Hope and turned into undead. Or become the dry bones of failure.
