The Swordsman of Faerûn

William admitted that he had underestimated the temptation of fire, copper and steel equipment. Just looking at the six adventurers who fell like mice into a rice vat, he knew that the reward William paid was definitely beyond the limit.

Nima!Rangers carry sledgehammers, warriors grab bows and crossbows, berserkers stuff daggers in their belts, humans and dwarves don't matter if they wear armor and back shields, what's the matter with you, a halfling thief, wearing full plate armor on your body?Hiding inside as a snail?

And you, a half-elf priest who is not a good nurse but has to hold a scythe, is this trying to play a melee mage?

But when it comes to the priest's fighting style, William took it for granted.

Faerun's priests are really weird. They don't hide in the back row to play support as people think. On the contrary, most priests have the thickest armor, the longest blood bar, and the most vicious beatings. Sometimes I will do the most explosive output work.

Of course, whose output is the most explosive, it often depends on whether the mage or warlock has extra spell slots.

After a few times of manic money-obsessed mentality, the six soil turtles finally recovered the rationality that veteran adventurers should have.

They no longer put equipment on their bodies regardless of whether it is suitable or not. Everyone began to carefully select the most suitable weapon or armor. They discussed the advantages and disadvantages of each piece of equipment with shame and excitement. Among them, the dwarf Joyim Swifthammer was the most eloquent.

This Joim Quickhammer was born in the long-destroyed kingdom of the dwarves of Tethama. He was once an excellent miner and a fairly qualified weaponsmith, so his identification of metal utensils is the best among the six. .

In Joinm's view, every weapon or armor in the employer's equipment library can be regarded as a true master-level work, and judging from the way it was built, it clearly has a strong dwarven style. It's just that this style is too unique, and it has never been seen by this dwarf adventurer in his life of more than 200 years.

Of course, Joim Swifthammer could not have seen the craftsmanship of the pyre dwarves, unless he was lucky enough to go to the flame world.After all, flame dwarves basically do not appear on the main material plane, and even the utensils they create rarely appear.

And normal flame dwarves would never build things for themselves and people outside the clan.

The flame dwarves surrendered to William, no matter whether they voluntarily served the great flame lord or not, when they made equipment for William, they absolutely did as much as they could.

Whoever pulls his crotch in work will not only harm William's interests, but will also make the flame dwarves unable to hold their heads up in front of their old enmity, the flame giant.

This is definitely not just the so-called loss of dignity or honor, but more about the distinction between master and slave status between the two races.

And this is also a unique linkage relationship between the fire dwarves and the fire giants.

Speaking of the origin of the fire dwarves, it is said that they were a group of ancient dwarf slaves in the age of giants. They were not freed like other close brothers, but were brought to the world of flames by some giant masters who liked to be close to flames.

After tens of thousands of years of evolution in the flame world, the fire dwarves and fire giants have formed a unique subordinate relationship.

When a tribe of fire giants wanted to conquer a tribe of fire dwarves and make the fire dwarves their slaves, it was impossible to achieve their goal directly by force.

Even in many cases, the blaze dwarves (the masters of the fire dwarves) who are proficient in metal golem casting technology can beat the fire giants to shit with their carefully crafted works.

The only way for the fire giants to conquer the fire dwarf tribe is to compete with the fire dwarves in metallurgy or forging, which the fire dwarves are best at.

As long as the fire dwarf tribe lost the game, even if they were reluctant, they would obediently serve as slaves to the fire giant like a robot whose program code was locked.

Unless an outstanding flame dwarf master can emerge among these fire dwarves, who can recover the previous defeat at the technical level, they can be freed from the state of enslavement.

Including the fire dwarves who have been turned into slaves, as long as one of them can obtain a technological breakthrough, they can regain their freedom and save the entire tribe.

And if the fire giant fails, at most it will lose a group of available slaves, but its own will not be affected.Of course, sometimes the unstoppable fire dwarves want to take revenge on the former slave owners, and cut down the fire giants with their backhands.

Therefore, when the flame dwarves and the flame giants are both working for William and wielding sledgehammers, if the flame dwarves do not want to be suppressed by the flame giants, they have to express themselves desperately.

In this way, the products handed in by the flame dwarves are basically high-quality products, and it is difficult to find relatively inferior unqualified products.

Therefore, Joim Swifthammer praised his crafting skills almost every piece of equipment he used, and it was almost difficult for him to find out which ones were better, because every piece of equipment was excellent.

After experiencing the torment of choice difficulty almost like a hand-picking party, the six adventurers finally reluctantly chose the most suitable equipment for them.

Warriors, barbarians, and priests all wore the thickest full metal plate armor, rangers wore the most shining scale armor, and the only halfling thief chose the flame copper wire armor made of fine metal wire. From the dwarf's point of view, this piece of silk armor should be the most precious of all armors.

Others such as knives, axes, swords, daggers, bows, crossbows, shields, flails, the six adventurers can equip as much as they can, but they have truly armed themselves to the extent of teeth and assholes.

Then they rushed into the ruins of the city with a guilty conscience under the contemptuous eyes of the survivors of Yulas.

William watched the figures of the six adventurers disappear into the depths of the ruins, but there was a meaningful smile on his face.

Of course, William is not a fool who has no brains. He rewarded these six adventurers not because he lost his mind, but because he played the routine of "a thousand gold and a horse bone".

As the saying goes, routines are not afraid of getting old, as long as they are useful.

Yakir Brenas and the other six are quite well-known in the adventure business, so they are naturally not lone wolf-style lone rangers. In fact, in the world of adventure mercenaries, lone wolves can't eat at all.

All six of them have their own relatives and friends, partners and confidants.

Originally, these six people did not intend to shake people, but when they entered the depths of the Yulas ruins, they found that the terrain inside was complicated, there were many monsters, and the loot was rich, but it was only a few of them who were far away. Far from being able to play around.

The first ruined building explored by Yakir Brenas and others was a mansion that once belonged to a wealthy Yulas merchant.When they entered the ruins of the mansion in the form of an exploratory team, the first thing that greeted them was not vicious and cunning monsters, but flowers on the floor, piles of gold, silver and jewels, and a luxurious long table covered with fine cashmere cloth, filled with All kinds of food and wine.

A graceful woman in gorgeous robes and a group of handsome servants greeted them with smiles.

I could only hear the woman say in a kind and enthusiastic voice: "Warriors are welcome to Tesco's luxurious manor. I am Mrs. Bai Ruizhi, the hostess of this manor. Dear friends who have gone through hardships, Tesco Manor It will be your most intimate resting place, the most wonderful happy house.

Please put down your heavy weapons, take off your scarred armor, and enjoy everything here! "

If this kind of scene was encountered before yesterday, even if Yakir Brenas and others realized that something was wrong here, it might be difficult to refuse this almost dreamlike scene.

At that time, they were poor and tired, and the long-term wandering made everyone feel flustered, and too negative emotions would make them addicted to this false dream and couldn't extricate themselves.

However, William's generosity and heroism, as well as his well-known ambition and the reality of his imminent success, made the six workers seem to be healed the moment they were hired by William.

They feel that they have found the coordinates of life and become a part of the new Valley Kingdom in the future. This is something that anyone who is capable or not is quite looking forward to.

This kind of thinking may not seem very good to us, and even many people don't think so, it's just because we have already enjoyed this blessing that is quite out of reach for them since we were born.

For Yakir Brenners and others, it is a wonderful vision to be able to eat as much as one likes every day, sleep with a safe bed and pillows, and be able to talk and do things without being disliked or even despised by others.

Not to mention the complete set of precision weapons and armor that everyone is currently equipped with, they give the six senior adventurers the greatest confidence and sense of security.

The half-elven cleric Taras Byrnar was the first to answer the mistress of the manor, with his spell.

This is a very miraculous thing. Since midnight last night, almost all spellcasters in William's camp felt that they had regained their connection with the magic net.

Although the "link" is not very strong, compared to before the goddess of magic unplugged the network cable, now they need to pay more energy and spell slots to use spells normally, and the chance of spell failure is also very high.

Including William also felt that the spell-like spells mastered by himself as a flame lord have become usable now, but the number of spell-like spells used has been reduced by at least half compared to the previous normal time, and the spell-like spells have become more stable. Difference.

However, there was a vague guess in William's mind. Maybe it was because he used the hot weapons of the Flame Legion on a large scale to get down on the saints of Moander, which caused some kind of imbalance of dark forces, so some big bosses couldn't help it. Do not partially release the power of the magic net to balance.

However, after thinking about it for a while, William gave up this idea. He is a mere "little person", and he has been very honest for a while, so how can he attract such a big trend.

Um!Someone must have done it!This man can't carry it back!

Regardless of the truth of the matter, at least for the six adventurers, the partial recovery of spells has greatly improved their ability to deal with crises.

The pastor held up a hollow scepter made of fire copper and steel, and slammed it on the marble floor, and at the same time shouted angrily: "In the name of the Wind Rider (another name for the god of travel and exploration, Darker)! I declare !Anyone who can hear my voice must not lie!"

The universal divine art [Field of Honesty], within a limited range, no one or monster can tell lies, and the existing illusion effects will also be removed.

When the hollow scepter hit the ground, an invisible wave suddenly spread.But seeing the gorgeous and beautiful scene in front of everyone's eyes suddenly had a subversive reversal.

The resplendent buildings turned into cobweb-destroyed ruins, the flowers and roses all over the ground turned into black and ferocious thorn bushes, and the piles of gold, silver and jewels turned into piles of dead bones covered with bite marks and tooth marks.

And the long table that was previously filled with all kinds of delicacies turned into a chopping board made of rotten meat and rotten mud, covered with all kinds of poisonous insects and rotten maggots.

Looking at the graceful lady again, there is no change, but the handsome servants around her have lost their beautiful appearance, showing their ugly and hideous appearances, vine monsters wrapped in vines, and spore-covered monsters. Fungimen, and corrupt gnolls with fangs and sores.

There is no doubt that this is a trap, if the adventurers cannot see through its truth, then they will be buried here and become the blood food in the mouth of the monsters here.

The barbarian Rhinesa let out a battle roar as soon as the enemy showed his true form. Although this Uthgard barbarian from the Black Lion tribe is not as violent as his other tribesmen, he is still an opponent Filled with fanatical fighters.

The tomahawk with a jagged edge severed the main body of a creeping monster. It was as smooth as a hot knife cutting butter. Reinsa couldn't even feel the impact of the monster's body on the weapon. block.

Learn about high-frequency oscillatory weapons. Although the masters of the flame dwarves do not understand the principle of high-frequency oscillatory weapons (maybe), it does not prevent them from using their superb skills and rich experience to explore the fact that they have learned how to rub this super sharp blade by hand.

Reinsa happily kissed his sawtooth battle axe, and he named her "Lion's Tooth" to praise her for being as sharp as Black Rhine's fangs.

Black Lion is one of the original beast spirits that Uthgar, the god of Uthgard barbarians, once defeated and subdued, and is also the tribal totem of the Black Lion tribe of Uthgard.

Although most members of the Black Lion tribe today have abandoned their belief in Uthgar and his servant Black Rhine, they are still proud of the mighty power of their tribal totem.

The other adventurers also pulled out their own weapons and fought with the monsters that finally reacted, except for Priest Taras Byrna.

Taras Byrna is really under a lot of pressure now, because the leader of the monster opposite, the graceful Mrs. Bai Ruizhi has been watching him with a smile.

The half-elf priest couldn't see through Madam Bai Ruizhi's disguise, so he couldn't make a targeted response, which was extremely dangerous for any adventurer.

So Taras Byrna had to concentrate on confronting Mrs. Bai Ruizhi and leave the other monsters to his companions to deal with.
