The Swordsman of Faerûn

Lathander's temples are always resplendent and resplendent, whether it is a bustling big city or a remote village, this is true of any place.

But only the Luoshanda Temple in Heiyuqiao Village is a bit different. It’s not that the shape of the Luoshanda Temple is not exquisite enough, but that this temple always gives people a gray and bleak feeling, which is quite strange at first glance. A hint of unreality.

However, if someone walks to the back of the temple, they will find that there is a section of black walls on both sides of the back door of the temple, which is the only part that makes people feel real.

Of course, William didn't know the uniqueness of this Lathander temple in advance, but a hint from spiritual perception, which made him subconsciously choose to run to the back of the temple.

When William came to the back door of the black wall behind the temple, he saw a small old man standing at the door and waving at him.William was stunned for a moment, but he quickly confirmed the guess in his heart, so he got off the horse and came to the old man with the autumn water knife on his waist.

Now William's eyesight is no less powerful than that of eagles and vultures among birds. He can see the cilia of flies within tens of meters, and can track the traces of pikas within one or two kilometers from a high place. Therefore, when he concentrates on something At that time, it was difficult to hide anything from his eyes.

When he got closer, William took a closer look at the old man, only to see that he had sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, skinny bones, sallow skin with spots of age spots, and gray and messy whiskers, giving the appearance that this man was about to decay and die, William It even felt as if he could smell the rotting corpse of this person.

Although almost all senses were telling William that this was an old man who was dying, only the unambiguous spiritual sense reminded William that the guy in front of him was very dangerous, and William also faintly felt a sense of danger. Surging energy and blood burned in the old man's body.

Of course, it doesn't mean how keen William's perception of qi and blood is, but that the other party doesn't know how to hide qi and blood at all, and it's just like a bonfire in the dark that he can't ignore just like a bonfire in front of William.

The old man looked at William, especially at the saber he was holding, as if he was quite jealous of him.

The two stood silently facing each other for a while. The old man sighed and asked, "Your Excellency William, why did you come to my humble little town? Did someone ask you to kill me?"

William shook his head and said: "No one invited me to deal with you, and I don't want to get involved in the grievances between you extraterrestrial beings. I just came to see the bridge of divine power on the river to the north. I was a little curious, so I wanted to see it." Let's see who is hiding in such a remote place."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a slightly irritable tone: "Since you have seen me, then leave as soon as possible. You know, my old man can't help being a little nervous when he sees you!"

William sighed and said, "I was planning to leave, but after meeting you, I suddenly realized that I had overlooked a problem. Let me see your true face first! Your Excellency!"

The old man couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked a little coyly, "What did you overlook? Your Excellency William."…

William said: "I have to find out who you are before I can say what I have overlooked."

The old man's complexion changed a few times, and then the old man disappeared like wax, and what appeared in front of William was a beautiful goddess with the delicate face and temperament of a vixen.

The temperament of this goddess is so unique, even if she just glances at you, you will feel that she is smirking, and then you will have the idea of ​​wanting to teach her a lesson, well, it is not humane. that kind of lesson.

The goddess smiled slightly, revealing two attractive canine teeth, and said with a charming smile: "I am Layla, the goddess of illusion, and this village is my sanctuary. Young William, do you have any secrets to tell me?" ?"

The so-called sanctuary is the belief base camp of a certain god in the main material plane. Most gods will hide their sanctuary very well to prevent some hostile gods from targeting them.

William nodded and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, respected Goddess of Illusion. You should have heard recently that an army of tens of thousands of people is gathering at the Feather Falls in the east. They seem to be deliberately targeting me."

Leila, the goddess of illusion, said happily: "I know! I know! Tempus, the god of battle, is manipulating this army behind the scenes. They are indeed here for you, Brother William. I'm really curious, what are you doing? What did you do, so that the big fool in Tempus refused to do it himself, but secretly formed an army against you?"

William pretended to be calm and said: "It turned out that that guy was behind the scenes! Oh! I didn't do anything! I just fought with that guy, and I didn't lose."

"What? You fought Tempus and you won? You're kidding, aren't you?"

If you didn't lose, wouldn't that mean you won?At least that's what Ms. Leila thinks.

William shrugged and said, "I didn't win! At least Tempus is still alive, isn't he?!"

Leila was already a little emotional, and she didn't care what William said at the end, she just muttered to herself: "Although I really don't want to believe this is true, the truth is always in front of my eyes.

Well, when Tempus dealt with Carrigos, he also used a similar method. The Lord of Battle (Tampus) first assembled an army and defeated the Lord of War (Karigos) by means of war. Goss)'s army broke the confidence and reason of Carrigos, and then defeated the old god of war in a duel.

I can well understand what Tempus is doing now, Sir William.It seems that the God of War has really treated you as an evenly matched opponent. "

William said angrily: "Then I really thank her!"

Goddess Layla smiled indifferently, she was always more tolerant to human beings who were strong enough.She went on to say: "Your Excellency William, you haven't finished talking about the issues you ignored!"

William said: "Of course I know. I heard that Tempus secretly got help from a goddess in the battle where he won the most important victory. Ma'am, do you know who that goddess is?"

Leila forced a nervous smile, and said, "Is there such a thing? Why didn't I know! Ahaha——William, maybe you heard it wrong."

William pressed the hilt of Qiushui knife with a smile on his face, stared at the frightened fox eyes of the goddess, and said casually: "Maybe! Ms. Leila, no matter whether the rumor is true or not, now I would like to invite you to visit me. How would you like to be a guest at the camp?"
