The Swordsman of Faerûn

At this time, the number of elf adventurers gathered in the camp outside the ruins of Yuras has exceeded 100.

This is a very large number, a hundred elf warriors who are fighting right now are enough to occupy as much as one-tenth of the standing army of the Cormanthor elves.

When there are more people, things will come.

If there are too many elves, then they will be divided into ranks. High-ranking elves are nobles, low-ranking elves are commoners, and there are even less status elves' illegitimate children and half-elves. Everyone has to talk about family background, talk about qualifications, and line up. Respect.

strength?I'm sorry, but for the elves, strength is like the bad grades of the masters. As long as I think about it, I can have it. The key is whether or not I think about it.

This is a common problem of longevity species, strength can be exchanged through time, and the most important thing for longevity species is time.If you think about the strategic retreat of the elves for hundreds of years, you can understand how much the elves care about time.

The population of elves was small, and more than a dozen heads were given away in just ten days. In the final analysis, it was the elves' class suppression that caused trouble. After all, most of the dead were half-elves and illegitimate children of elves with relatively low status.

The elves are not sorry for themselves, but William is a little bit impatient.

Nima!I hired you to work as a labor force, not to open a crematorium to deliver snacks to monsters.

Originally, William handed over the management of the elf adventurers to his elf follower, Emily Corona. At the beginning, the elf chick managed it well. After all, the Cormanthor family is also well-known among the Cormanthor elves. Yes, the elven adventurers from the Tangled Tree still gave her face.

It was only when the first batch of food was sent into the depths of the jungle that the situation changed.

The three major elf gathering areas, the Elven King's Court, Cyberholm, and the Tree of Tangle, who is not counting rice grains to live a tight life.

How to obtain food has almost become the biggest obsession in the hearts of all elves with brains.

When thousands of pounds of oats and frozen beef were being transported through the jungle trails, every elf who saw this grain transport team wanted to rob it directly.

Of course, the adventurers from the Tangled Tree are not fools, they are well aware of the virtues of those of the same race in the next city.

Elves with their pomp and elegance are interesting, and when they want something badly, they will buy and sell it in exchange.

For example, the elves need food, and you are waiting for the rice to cook, they will forcefully snatch the rice from your hand, and then give you a luxurious crystal wine glass as compensation. Calculated according to the normal item price, you will make a lot of money. But you are starved to death.

Therefore, the adventurers of the Tangled Tree prepared enough pack horses in advance, and before all the jungle residents could react, they rushed back to the Tangled Tree with a nearly hurricane dash.

The food was delivered to the destination smoothly, making the residents of the Tangled Tree heal a mouthful of blood, and the origin of the food was also spread.

So the elves at the other two gathering points also moved their minds, and they also sent adventurers to work for William, but the rewards earned by the work were also monopolized by these latecomers, because these late elf adventurers had Unusual background.

For example, a male druid from the Kailanda family from the Elven King's Court. The Kailanda family is the controller of the Elven King's Court and a famous family among the Sun Elf.

The representatives of the adventurers from Cyberholm also came from prominent backgrounds, and they all wanted to control the reward paid by William in their own hands, and tried to gain a dominant position in the entire adventure team.

And the unlucky ones in this open and secret struggle are those who have no decision-making power, the lowest status, elf bastards and half-elf adventurers, who have become poor victims.

Obviously, with Emily's status and ability, she couldn't settle the elf adventurer caught in the battle.

William met with a druid from House Kelanda, a ranger from the Moonbow family of Cyberholm, and the adventurer leader Nemoen Brigeng from the Tangled Tree.

In front of the three elves and their followers, William said straight to the point: "My friends from the jungle, I am very disappointed in you. Because of your internal strife, my Yulas reconstruction plan has been seriously affected , Do you know how many people died in our entire exploration team in the past few days? Thirteen! Thirteen innocent lives! All of them came from elves and half-elves!

Do you know how many people died?zero!not even one! "

The three elf nobles didn't take William's words to heart. Although the human being in front of them was their employer and controlled their source of income, the noble and elegant people were not cowards who would grovel. means.

If you really make us anxious, believe it or not, I will give you a set of forced buying and selling, making you want to cry with a pile of elf garbage.

Of course, the elves are not stupid, their "unique business" also depends on the person's order. It must be stupid to do this when the strength is not dominant, but the tens of thousands of elves in the Cormanthor jungle are It is their confidence.

The Ranger of the Moonbow Family looked at the Druid of Kelanda where the old god was present, and then at the somewhat restless Nimune Brigeng, and said with a sneer: "Dear human lord, please don't pay attention to those insignificant things. Casualties, there are 50 elf warriors waiting to be recruited at any time in the Cormanthor Kingdom, as long as we issue an order, there will be a steady stream of volunteers to come to serve."

The other elves blushed a little after hearing the bluster of the ranger from the Moonbow family, and even William couldn't help but smile a little.

Since the appearance of the elves in Faerun, the population problem has always been a big problem plaguing this long-lived race.Take the Comanthor Elf Empire as an example, even in its heyday, its total population (not counting foreign slaves) never exceeded 30, and on the eve of the Elf Queen Amlari launching the [Elf Migration] plan, The population of Cormanthor elves has even dropped to less than 20.

During the days when the elves retreated, more than 90% of the elves known as the Comanthor tribe migrated to Evermeet Island or Evereska in the west, and the elves who stayed in the old homeland of the Comanthor jungle even It's already less than fifty thousand.

Some people may ask, more than 20% of the [-] elves have moved away, why are there still [-] left? Is someone's math taught by a physical education teacher? !

In fact, this problem is really a mathematical problem.

The great migration of elves is not all at once, but like ants moving house, moving bit by bit.During this epic elf retreat, the birth rate of elf cubs unexpectedly doubled.

It is precisely for this reason (of course there are other factors as well), that the Great Migration lasted for nearly four centuries.

If you change the mathematical model, you can use the classic reservoir administrator's water injection problem to explain the changes in the population of elves.

It is known that there are 20 elves in the large reservoir of Comanso, and X (water output) is relocated every year, and the number of elves born every year is Y (water intake). 400 years later, there are still [-] elves (remaining amount) in the Comanso Great Reservoir, accounting for [-]% of the total elves population. Ask how much X and Y are, and how many elves have moved in total (total water output) .

Of course, the Comanthor Elf migration announced by the elves (to the whole continent) only lasted 12 years, that is, from 1344 (the year of the moonset) in the valley calendar to 1355 (the year of the harp) in the valley calendar. The time when the government agencies of the Manso Elf Kingdom moved away, and its main citizens had already migrated almost.

And today's Cormanthor Elven Court is actually the tail of a part of the government of the Elven Kingdom.

So when the Ranger of the Moon Bow family boasted about 50 elf warriors, even though this Bulby did have a certain basis, it was still unavoidable to be ridiculed.

If 50 elves could be hidden in the Comanthor jungle, the entire valley would have become a slave plantation for elves long ago, where there were no human beings.

William said coldly: "Idiot! Do you think I care whether you have 50 or [-] elves?" All the elves couldn't help but blush when they heard this, and then became a little angry.

William said angrily: "Do you know what the adventurers outside talk about me? Many people say that I discriminate against elves and deliberately let you go to death! Do you know what this means to me, a future king of the Valley? ?! Stupid elves! Your reckless behavior is humiliating my honor, I can almost imagine how all the elves will look at me when I ascend the throne!"

The expression on William's face was so vivid that anyone who didn't know him couldn't help but think that the man was truly outraged at his damaged reputation.

But anyone who understands William's nature can't help but give him 1 likes for his outstanding performance.

Of course, William is not the kind of person who cares about irrelevant reputations. He just can't understand a group of bullshit elves and nobles messing around in their own territory. It's not just about letting the elves with low status die. Their commission income (in fact, this is what the elves and nobles want most).

Nima!Exploitation and oppression in Lao Tzu's one-acre-three-point land, isn't this the root of the wall that Lao Tzu stands on? !A person who has gone through nine years of compulsory education can't bear it. Of course, those who slipped through the net said otherwise.

If William directly intervened in the elves' internal disputes and accused the elves of nobles of making troubles, then the elves would definitely have something to say, because after all, it was an internal problem among the elves. And moral grounds, unless some elf is willing to come forward and ask William.

But if you look at it from another angle, William has a very legitimate reason to intervene on the grounds that the reputation of the king of the valley is damaged, even if it is based on the arrogance of the elves and nobles, there is nothing to say.

I don't care how many elves you die, but I care what others say about me!
Sure enough, in the face of William's scolding, even though these elves represented the entire Cormanthor's arrogant aristocratic class, they could only suffer aggrievedly, without any reason to refute.

The druid of Kailanda said in an aggrieved voice: "Please accept our apology, respected Lord William! We are willing to bear all the responsibilities for our mistakes, and we are willing to offer all the adventurers for you Restore your damaged reputation by explaining the misunderstanding."

If it were someone who really cared about his honor, he might be overwhelmed by the druid's handling method.However, William didn't care about drinking, and the so-called damaged fate was just an excuse for him.

William snorted coldly, and refused: "No! Elf, maybe I can trust your sincerity, but I can't trust your ability. If you let you handle this matter, it's hard to say whether the result will get worse !"

All the elves are almost mad!They wished they could jump up and slash the damned human in front of them!

It's just that as the party at the wrong end, the elves really can't find a reason to make a move. People don't believe in your ability, unless you can prove yourself, what kind of revenge is it.

The druid took several deep breaths angrily, and then asked through gritted teeth: "Human lord, do you have any better way to deal with it?"

William sneered and said, "Elves from Cormanthor, please forgive me for speaking too directly. I really don't like your management skills. There are only a hundred or so elf adventurers in the area, let's see what you have managed. It's a mess. What a mess, even us onlookers are ashamed!

Goblins are better at managing groups than you! "

The ability to ridicule these words is a bit too strong, the elves really can't help it!
The elven ranger from Cyberholm immediately jumped up and punched William in the face with a punch.The Druids of the Kailanda family and Nemoen of the Tangled Tree were also furious, and even Emily Corona, who was behind William, wanted to kick her lord.

It's a pity that the attack of the elf ranger was almost like a three-year-old's playfulness to William, and he just grabbed her and slipped her up.

As for the other two elves, under William's contemptuous gaze, they lost the courage to fight and could only retreat in embarrassment.

William glanced back at Emily and said, "I saw it! You want to kick me."

Emily Corona waved her hands with a sneer, and argued forcefully, "You must be wrong, my dear lord."

William didn't care about her, he threw aside the elf ranger who was twisting like a hairtail, and then said loudly: "Listen! Elves! Since you have accepted my employment, you have to do what I want. Then Next, I will regroup and manage all the elf adventurers, so that everyone can normally do what an adventurer should do.

Also, I have always been adhering to a belief that those who work more get more, those who work less get less, and those who don't work get nothing.My reward is paid to the adventurers who work for me, not to some big figures behind the adventurers for nothing!

I don't care what illustrious origins some of you may have among the elves, your superior status.

In my case, either go risk your life to earn wages, or leave! "
