The Swordsman of Faerûn

Adventurers are more advocating teamwork. The reason is that we always encounter various problems during the adventure, and no one can guarantee that they can overcome all problems omnipotently.

This requires adventurers to consider the difficulties they will encounter during the adventure as much as possible when forming a team, and then try to choose suitable partners.

However, for most adventure teams, combatants are always the most indispensable, but they are also the most scarce.The "least lacking" mentioned here refers to those junior adventurers, but when an adventurer is just fledgling, he basically participates in adventures as the most junior combatants.

They have no experience, no skills, but only enthusiasm, desire and longing for an adventurous life, and some unrealistic fantasies.

It can even be said that any stronger farmer with an iron sword or spear can be regarded as a combatant among adventurers.

Such adventurers can be found almost everywhere, and they are generally the most basic fighters that exist as cannon fodder and consumables.

The so-called "scarcity" refers to those full-time combat masters. Most of them have experienced countless adventures, and they are the lucky ones who have survived step by step from the most elementary adventurers. Such veterans have rich adventure experience and strong martial arts. Or be good at killing enemies, or be able to fight the most dangerous enemies, or be good at supporting a threatened partner.

Such fighters are treasures like Dinghaishenzhen in every adventure team.

William is undoubtedly the number one combat force in the entire rescue team, the backbone of everyone.Almost the moment Selena encountered the ghost, even though he didn't see, hear or hear the real situation, he had already predicted the fatal crisis facing the girl in advance.

When the ghostly spiked chain warrior suddenly appeared in Selina's sight again, the deadly spiked chain had already swept towards the little thief who was covered in flesh and blood, and at this moment Selena had already lost the ability to dodge or even protect herself. , The severe pain and the massive loss of blood made her almost exhausted to the extreme.

Just when Selena watched desperately and stubbornly that the deadly thorn chain was about to wrap around her fragile neck, and the only palm that could be raised to block it, and then strangled her, she suddenly felt a sudden twitch on the back of her neck. Tightly, a powerful big hand grabbed her neck and shoulder blades, lifted Selena up like a little chicken, and easily avoided the winding of the thorn chain.

Even the big hand still had enough strength to flick the little finger at the end of the spiked chain, as if playfully teasing the opponent.

But the shadow spirit who was holding the thorn chain to attack immediately changed drastically. After the thorn chain was flicked, it burst out from the end one after another, like a runaway python, making it difficult to control. Not only was the proficient spiked chain warrior unable to deliver the next two blows, but he almost injured himself because of the loss of control of the spiked chain.

Just as the Shadow Spirit Spiked Chain Warrior gathered his weapon in embarrassment, a faint light of a knife flashed from the corner of his eye, slashed across his neck soundlessly, slammed his head, and then disappeared into the mist middle.

It turned out that it was William who realized the danger of the shadow spirit and began to let go of his hands and feet to release his true lethality. The Qiushui knife, which came and went suddenly, was undoubtedly the best death harvesting artifact in this fog that blocked his vision.

But all this happened to Selena as if in a dream. The powerful big hand held her, not only dragging her back from the brink of death, but also an endless stream of blood in the palm of her hand. There was a warm current, which made the seriously injured and dying girl feel like she was soaking in a hot spring, her whole body was numb, and there was also a sense of itching and comfort.

The girl who fell into a trance felt an inexplicable tiredness hit her heart. She really wanted to fall asleep, but she tried to open her eyelids against the tiredness. She was worried that if she closed her eyes, she might never wake up again. coming.

The girl just wanted to have another look at the world, at the man who saved her and her people from the nightmare of hell.

It's a real pity that I can't continue to follow in the footsteps of His Excellency William.

Selena was feeling annoyed, but she heard a heart-warming words in her ear: "Sleep if you want to sleep, after all, you have lost too much blood, even if you replenish your vitality, it can't make up for the lack of body fluids , sleep and recover faster."

Then Selena yawned deeply, and finally closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. At this moment, all the wounds on her body had disappeared, only the broken armor and the blood stains left on it, Still talking about the pain the girl has suffered.

William held the sleeping Selena in his arms with one hand, and stretched out his other hand, but grabbed the speeding Autumn Knife in his hand. He quickly walked back to the old mage and others, and said: " Come with me! We have to transfer immediately, the people here are very hostile to us, and they are gathering here in large numbers."

After finishing speaking, William chose a direction and turned his head to go. Brunhilde immediately followed without thinking after hearing the words. Yin Erminster and Dove looked at each other, but there was some hesitation.

The old mage sighed: "I am the one who understands the shadows best. William's reckless departure can easily lead us astray."

Dove shrugged and said, "Even if we go astray, it's better than we split up."

Yin Erminster said helplessly: "Of course I know this. I was just complaining. I'm an old bone. Could it be that I can't get rid of that kid! Sigh! I will definitely reprimand you later He said a few words, lest that little bastard take all of us into the ditch."

Dove is the one who knows the old mage best. Of course, she knows that Yin Erminster's temper has not diminished with age, but that perfectionism has become more and more serious.

Of course, this is not the case in the eyes of outsiders. Many people who are familiar with Yin Erminster feel that this strange old man has become more easy-going, but in fact, the old mage has a relatively indifferent view of most unimportant things.

When the two followed William and Brunhilde, the old mage wanted to talk to William several times, but it was a pity that William didn't give him a chance to speak.

They kept shuttling in the misty and rugged land, but William, as the leader leading the way, turned eastward and westward like a hooded man, leading the way in a way that people can't figure out , so that the old mage who followed the slippery leg became more and more angry. He really wanted to jump up and knock William on the head hard, and then scold this mindless idiot, or turn him into a toad all day.

But gradually, the old mage discovered something was wrong. As an old fritter who was used to wandering around the planes, the old mage knew a lot about the abilities of shadow spirits. These guys who walk in the shadows are very good at hunting and hunting. However, now that William and his party have been fleeing for a long time, they have not seen a ghost chasing soldiers, which is a very surprising thing.

Therefore, as the few people kept running, the anger in Yin Erminster's heart began to dissipate, but the inexplicable doubts gradually increased. He really wanted to ask how William escaped from the shadow spirit's pursuit.

When William and the others came to a pile of rocks, William stopped abruptly and motioned for others to stop too.

The old mage, Dove, and Brunhilde who stopped were all breathing heavily and heavily. The long-term running made them exhausted a lot of energy, but all three of them were strong endurance masters. Dove, who is best at trekking in the wild, is mainly the ranger profession, but is the weakest of the three.

And running all the way, William's breathing was almost undisturbed from the beginning to the end, which made several people couldn't help calling this guy's abnormal physical strength.

After they stopped for a while to breathe, they basically calmed down their breathing, and recovered a lot of their exhausted energy.

After a brief break, Brunhilde was the first to ask, "William, why did we stop?"

William sighed and said, "Running around, we still couldn't avoid the enemy's encirclement in the end."

He pointed to the depths of the pile of rocks and said, "Someone has already laid a trap inside, waiting for us to send it to the door. Do you think we should stop?"

The old mage circled around the entrance of the rock pile a few times, looked at the environment here, and then said: "There is bad news. William, the rocky canyon in front of us is a must for us to go to the overlapping land. Even if there is an ambush there, we have to rush over."

Then the old mage changed his words again and said: "I'm a little curious, William, how did you lead us to get rid of those shadow spirits? Do you really have the ability of a prophet? But I don't think it's possible, I think You must have an unknown method to avoid the enemy."

Yin Erminster has lived for more than 1000 years, and he has seen many amazing and talented people in his life. Among them, there are definitely not a few guys who call themselves prophets, but these so-called prophets, whether they are famous or cover up If it is concealed, it is hard to escape the end of being falsified in the end.

Of course, Yin Erminster also knows that there is indeed a kind of existence in this world that is qualified to be called a prophet, and that is the legendary sage of the heavens-Kong Randa.

Yin Erminster is very sure that William is definitely not a golden monkey, so there must be something wrong with his "precognition" ability.

William didn't want to argue with the old mage, he replied absent-mindedly: "Since you think I am not (a prophet), then count me as not."

He patted Selena, who had been sleeping all the way in his arms, and said, "Since you've already woken up, don't lie to me and pretend to be asleep. Go get ready, we may go through a whole lot of trouble next time." A bad fight."

Selena's thin body trembled slightly, but she stretched her waist on purpose. She yawned, pretending to have just woken up, and said to herself, "Ha——where is this place? Am I already dead? Did you? Oh, my lord, so I'm not dead! Thank you for saving me again, and letting me sleep in your arms. I really don't know how to repay you.

Otherwise, I will promise myself! "

William snapped the little thief girl's finger, and said angrily: "You little yellow-haired girl with no flesh, thinking about unhealthy things all day long. Get ready, I may not have a chance to protect you this time." !"

Selena held her forehead with her hands, gave William a sad look, and then bounced around to find Brunhilde to discuss small things.It has to be said that Valkyrie's plan to buy the little thief girl with equipment was so successful that Dove, who met the little girl first, was not very popular on weekdays.

Dove has fought side by side with William many times, and she knows how exaggerated William's strength will be in this kind of battle with outnumbered enemies.Dove asked, "William, how are you going to get through this canyon?"

William didn't answer Dove's question directly, but took out a piece of straw cake from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.This is an adventure biscuit specially carried by their group, and it is a ration made of a unique magic grass leaf.

Although the taste of this thing is not very good, it has many advantages, such as storage resistance and strong environmental adaptability. Once many traditional foods arrive at another completely different plane, some unpredictable changes will occur, such as decay. , deterioration, poisoning, etc.

And this kind of adventure biscuit only needs a small piece to meet the needs of an adult for a whole day, and it feels full.

After chewing and swallowing some tough biscuits, William said: "There is no other way, but to kill all the way. It's a pity that we can't reveal our identities now, otherwise releasing a few cursed fire phoenixes will be enough to wipe out the vast majority." Most of the enemies. Now we can only use stupid methods to fight a bloody path with the knives and guns in our hands."

Speaking of this, William warned several people with a solemn expression: "This time I will charge forward as fast as possible, you must follow me closely, and you must not fall behind. I may not have a chance to turn around and save you. Especially It's Selena, you just recovered from a serious injury, I'm worried whether you have enough physical strength to catch up with us."

Selena was also holding an adventure biscuit and chewing on it at this time, and she said in a slightly humorous voice while chewing: "Don't underestimate me, Sir William, I am the best thief in Creeping City, I can run as fast as the wind , no one has ever caught up with me in the street."

This little thief girl seemed to be bragging a bit, but no one saw her through.

Yin Erminster stroked his gray beard, and said: "William, I suspect that the opponent we are about to face may be the most terrifying existence among the ghosts-the Sorrower. These half-human, half-crow guys are not easy to deal with. And they are likely to be commanded by a powerful death lord, I doubt whether we can kill them smoothly."

The Sorrowsworn are the most loyal servants of the Raven Queen. They were originally shadow spirits. After experiencing difficult missions and trials, these guys who have proved their loyalty will be transformed into black crow wings by the Raven Queen, waving A mutant with a deadly scythe.

The death lord is a powerful existence similar to the flame lord, the difference is that the death lord belongs to the undead creature in the realm of death.As far as William's life rank is concerned, the death lord is an existence that can rival him on equal terms.

After a short rest, William took out his full set of equipment from the Fire Spirit Armband and put it on. Of course, there were some more recognizable equipment, but William stayed in the army of the expedition to the Mist Valley on the main material plane. Dee will find suitable people to wear them and disguise them as William, in order to deceive some interested people.

William was wearing dragon leather armor, wearing keel spike boots, holding a two-foot long spear, flying knives and dart feathers lined up on his waist and hips, Qiushui knife was walking around, and behind him was Selena, this little girl The girl also looked capable. Of course, her only mission was to keep up with William, so as not to be left behind.

Next, Dove, the old mage, and Brynhildr lined up in a zigzag shape. They had to take care of the important task of breaking the back when they were running, especially Brynhilde. Among all of them, the melee role is second only to William.
