The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 73
After getting rid of the pursuers, William and his party drove another distance, and finally camped near a mountain stream.

"Little guy! Do you want to eat gems every day?" William took out a handful of gems, and looked at the little pony smilingly and seduced him.At the beginning, he searched a lot from the homes of Omartus and several other members of Mirabar, and now he just took it out to lure this little thing.

"I think so! Big man, your voice is malicious! But Isabella likes gems the most! I like them! Hoho!" The little pony jumped up and down happily when he saw a lot of gems. Stop playing, saying that the young wind horse faced the gem, but it was completely helpless.

"Hehe! Little Isabella! As long as you play with Misha in the future! Three gems every week!" William did not forget his promise to find a pet for the little girl. I like it very much, but I can't let it go.However, it seems that this little thing is an intelligent life. Of course, the theory of pets cannot be explained clearly, and the method of "swindling and abducting" can only be used.

The little girl who was watching eagerly by the side jumped up when she heard her brother's words, hugged William and kissed happily, then threw herself at the pony with bright eyes.The little thing dodges quickly, backing away pitifully, making a "meow meow" sound, as if warning the little girl not to approach, the two little guys chased and dodged, laughing into a fuss.Elf, on the other hand, glared at William bitterly and bitterly. She was extremely dissatisfied with his decision, and seemed to be desperate if she didn't give an explanation.

William sighed faintly, knowing the elf's displeasure, he reached out and handed over a small handful of gems, and said, "Go! Since the little guy likes this! Use it to tease her! Don't bully Xiaomi too much. Sha'er!" Elf cheered immediately, took the gemstone and kissed him hard on the face, and ran out to show off to the little girl
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the cold on the Spine of the World comes earlier than the human settlements in the south. The little girl and Elf have already put on the thick leather jackets, and William also added an extra cloak. She was indifferent, and she even felt like a fish in water.

In the evening, little Isabella, who was severely "abducted and bullied" by two "female bandits", started her revenge.The little guy can not only become invisible, but also fly silently in the air. Although the speed is not very fast, it greatly contributes to the suddenness and concealment of her pranks.

The little girl who was gnawing on the bread was about to lower her head to drink the soup while holding the small bowl, but she didn’t want to shake her arm when the soup bowl was abducted, splashing the soup all over her face; Elf was about to pick a berry on the top of a bush, Who knew that the berries would rise up by themselves, and then disappear with the sound of chewing softly, leaving behind only a gasping little elf; the little girl who was walking suddenly stagnated, fell to the ground involuntarily, and then made trouble The little thing jumped on her back and stomped.
After leaving Mirabar, Elf and Misha finally regained their old laughter, playing and chasing the unexpected little Isabella every day.However, what William was worried about finally appeared. An adult wind horse appeared outside the camping tent one morning. It was the white horse he was chasing at the beginning.

This time, William finally saw the appearance of the steed clearly. This is an elegant and handsome animal, different from the heroic and sturdy that William likes in his heart. She is more like a princess horse leisurely wandering in the sea of ​​flowers and poetry. , Noble, elegant, and graceful, with slender and slender limbs, a long mane that is more crystal clear than silver and jade threads, a slender but not thin body, shoulder height almost as high as William's shoulders, with a hazy misty blue With big amber eyes, he pretended to be arrogant and ignored the humans in front of him.

William didn't like this mare either. It wasn't that the wind horse was bad, but her appearance was too delicate and demure, without any viciousness. William preferred a fierce horse with horns and tendons, which was brave and invincible. .Riding a strong horse, rushing into battle, decisively killing, and making friends with each other is the love of a great boxer!
The wind horse can communicate with any thinking creature, and can perceive the benevolence or malice of the other party, but these kind creatures cannot peep into the memory of other creatures.The snow-white adult wind horse didn't have a good impression of William. She ignored William and the others, but directly called for little Isabella who was sleeping with the two little ones.The little things who heard the call jumped out of the tent cheerfully, and communicated silently with the adult wind horses. If it weren't for their snorting and movements from time to time, people who didn't know would think they were playing charades and standing still in a daze.

The little wind horse happily showed off her harvest to the adult wind horse - a small bag of bright gems, with as many as a dozen gems, which was "earned" by little Isabella from the two little girls Extra bonuses include a nice, pixie-inspired pocket for gems.The little thing's windfall surprised the adult wind horse, she stared eagerly at the little thing's treasure for a while, then turned her head to look at William, a neutral voice sounded from the bottom of her heart: "The generous human ! I hear you have many gems."

The Wind Horse tried to communicate some topics with William, but in a blink of an eye she saw the elf coming out of the tent holding a handful of gems. Nostalgic hook-up with Elf's little broken boat.

I don't know what kind of conspiracy the elves and the wind horses have made, but all the wind horses, big and small, have stayed. If outsiders know about this, they will definitely be shocked.The Wind Horse is not just an animal, but a highly intelligent race that is intelligent and can use its own thinking to perceive and communicate. They have their own values ​​and cannot tolerate a disorderly or evil partner, nor can it be difficult to accept a relationship with them. Behavior and things that conflict with values.

Only those paladins of the good camp and innocent girls can gain the trust of adult wind horses, but wind horses usually leave because of the changes in the hearts and different choices of human (elf) partners. Heaven's vicious and cruel actions all fall into the eyes of the Wind Horse. Under such circumstances, it is really a great anecdote that an adult Wind Horse can still be joined.

The adult wind horse is called Lucini, and the name was leaked by little Isabella.With the addition of Lucini, William and the others immediately accelerated a lot, and Elf and Mishaer became the first bearers of the Wind Spirit (referring to the Wind Horse).It is said that the full name of this adult wind horse should mean: "The ice wind princess under the first ray of wisdom", but she only said her common language name Lucini (the light of wisdom).

A few days later, they approached the gathering point of the frost giants. According to Finia, they only need to cross another mountain to reach them. It was getting late at this time, so William decided to stop and camp for the night, and then go to the frost giants tomorrow morning gathering point.

On such a cold and dark night, listening to the roaring mountain wind outside the tent was really not a reassuring thing. Misha was already afraid to sleep alone, and she preferred to snuggle into William's arms.The little elf also followed suit, which brought great inconvenience to the man who was always angry.There is another problem that is quite head-scratching. The big and small wind horses have no self-consciousness as mounts at all, and they are also crowded in the tent to join in the fun, making the small space even narrower.

In the middle of the night, a stern wolf howl came from afar, echoing along the raging mountain wind, the wolf howl lasted until dawn.After dawn, after barely eating some food, William hugged the little girl who didn't sleep well last night, and the group headed towards the gathering place of the frost giants.
