The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter No.17 Mine Pit

Chen Jinyang felt a little surprised that the dwarf blacksmith accepted him as an apprentice so easily. In this society, any technology is a kind of precious secret and knowledge. Is it because the one-eyed dwarf has a good heart?Is the old Seru's face big enough or is his character strong enough?Chen Jinyang doesn't believe that there will be such good things in the world.

The next day, Chen Jinyang ordered Alos to take care of several problem characters. Misha was too young and naive, the moon elf girl was too troublesome, and Finia was incomprehensible. Only Alos, who had been a tavern waiter, could reassure him. some.Chen Jinyang left all the gold coins as food expenses for the four people, and the magic bag in his arms contained enough hard bread and drinking water bags, and five cheapest pitch pine torches as lighting tools.

When Chen Jinyang arrived at the blacksmith shop of the one-eyed dwarf Singers, the fully armed dwarves were already impatient. Singers was wearing a horned helmet, fine steel scale armor, a half-round steel shield and a short-handled war hammer. McCroof growled dissatisfied: "Boy! You are too late! We should start before dawn! Now! Go pick a guy! I hope you have combat training before! Immediately!" ' The excited old dwarf, who had barely slept through the night, pointed his heavy warhammer at the large wooden box in the corner of the smithy.

I love him!Look at the attitude of this old boy!Is this going to mine or go to war!Chen Jinyang walked up to him full of doubts and opened the wooden box, which contained several good-looking weapons, two one-handed swords, a scimitar, a hatchet, and even a crossbow mixed with wood and iron. A bag of arrows.Chen Jinyang picked up the scimitar and danced a few times casually, it was okay!It's a pretty good scimitar. Compared with Cui Heizi's ordinary scimitar made of fine steel, it's even better in handling the center of gravity. He turned to the slightly surprised dwarf and asked, "Singer?" Master Si! Did you make this knife?"

The dwarf, who was amazed by Chen Jinyang's strange swinging movement, quickly stroked the remaining half of his beard, and replied casually: "Ah! These are just my creations when I was bored! The best artwork of Singers you I haven't seen it yet! Ignorant human boy! Now that we have chosen a guy, it's time for us to go!" The proud one-eyed dwarf walked towards the room on the next floor with a heavy suit all over his body.With a flash of thought in Chen Jinyang's mind, he grabbed the crossbow and arrows and put them into the magic bag, then followed the dwarf and ran down the stairs.

"Where are we going?" Chen Jinyang asked in bewilderment as he followed the dwarf blacksmith through the rooms on the third floor.

Singers, who was leading the way, replied with a low voice: "The mine! The mine belongs to the dwarves!"

Chen Jinyang was even more confused: "The mine? Isn't the mine outside the city?"

"Who told you that the mine is outside the city!" The dwarf who was excited about the upcoming mine operation chattered endlessly, "The city of Mirabar is built on the mine deposit, as long as you dig down from the bottom of your feet, you can You can find the highest-quality ore in this world! Thousands of the most brilliant dwarves used to dig ore and forge metal here! The furnace is as hot as lava, and the sound of hammers is louder than thunder! Damn liar !Damn underground monsters! No more wanton and happy work! This is simply the greatest punishment for dwarves!" With Singers cursing, the two walked through a long narrow narrow passage and came to a foot In an empty tunnel that is two or three people tall and about the same width, a two-wheeled trailer is parked at the entrance of the narrow passage.

The light in the tunnel was extremely dim, and even with Chen Jinyang's excellent eyesight, it was very difficult to see clearly what was a few meters away.Singers put the shield into the trailer, picked up a strange lantern from the trailer and lit it and hung it in front of the trailer. He put the warhammer on his back and began to push the low trailer forward.

"Boy! Follow me! Don't get lost! Otherwise, you will be trapped in this huge maze! Hundreds of years of continuous digging have prevented even the smartest dwarves in the world from fully remembering all the tunnels here Hunger! Lonely! Monster! These things will kill you at any time!" Singers was very angry at Chen Jinyang's absent-mindedness, and he was very unhappy to warn the rookie who set foot here for the first time.Chen Jinyang followed the dwarf closely with a few strides, and smiled apologetically, but the dwarf didn't notice the dim environment in the tunnel.

"Master Singers..."

"Human boy! You can just call me Singers! McCluf is not old enough to only remember the glory of the past in the respect of others! Dwarf Singers can still wield a hammer to forge and fight!" Pushing the drag bucket The dwarves were dissatisfied with Chen Jinyang's title.

"Oh! Alright! Singers! Did you often come here to mine?" Chen Jinyang looked at the dark and long tunnel a little worried.

"Ah! Of course! Of course I have been down many times! Well! Even with only one left eye, Singers is still the best miner and fighter here! Yes! The best fighter! Human boy you You shouldn't doubt the ability of a one-eyed dwarf! Damn liar! Old Singers didn't lie!" The one-eyed dwarf reacted fiercely to Chen Jinyang's question, and he responded to human questions with loud yells, as if trying to cover up something.

The wide tunnel is almost surrounded by hard stone walls, only in a few corners with loose textures, thick strips of stone slabs are used to build strong pillars.The nearly smooth stone pavement polished under the feet extends to the depths of the earth with a slight slope.

Darkness, silence, loneliness, depression!Only the "squeak" of the trailer wheels and the "click" sound of footsteps echoed in the empty tunnel.Because of the last question, the dwarf stopped chattering, and with the light of the shaking bull's-eye lantern, both of them walked forward in silence.But the restless Singers looked back at Chen Jinyang from time to time, as if he was afraid that this tall human would suddenly disappear.

After only a few hundred meters away, Singers couldn't bear the dull atmosphere any longer. He put down the drag bucket angrily, raised his head and shouted at Chen Jinyang: "Okay, okay! Damn boy! Old man!" Singers admits it's been years since he's mined down there! Damn it! The Marquis listened to the crooks and cut down on the dwarf miners! Rather weaving more dwarves into the Ax of Mirabar! Damn you bastard Folks! I'm only blind in one right eye, and that little bastard, Togg, has me out of it again! A stone warrior not even an evil orc could knock him down! Fearless Thingus McClure To be like a crippled dwarf who can neither dig the fascinating ore nor fight the battle of glory! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! They are insulting the personality of the great Singers McCluf! Trampling his honor! Uuuuuuuuuuu Well--"

I sun you!The old bastard!Not daring to venture down by himself, but actually abducting an ignorant human boy to accompany him to the depths of the dark mine, this is simply abduction, teasing, and murder by Chi Guoguo!Is there any reason for this?Have human rights?Is there any law...

At the end of the complaint, the dwarf, who was full of snot and tears, looked desperately at the expressionless Chen Jinyang. He lowered his ugly head and said in a dejected voice: "Since you don't want to go! Go back!" Chen Jinyang sighed in a low voice. He took a deep breath and shook his head helplessly, what a speechless old child!He walked on without saying a word.

The dwarf looked at his tall back in doubt, and then reacted, Singers wiped the snot on his face, pushed up the trailer and quickly swung his two thick short legs, the wheels rolled rapidly : "Wait for me! Wait for me! Haha! I knew it! You're a good boy! Haha! Is your name William? I knew you were a great William! Hahaha! Did you know that? Did you know I'm a master miner! Old Singers knows where the best deposits are just by smelling them! Speaking of eyes, I once killed five evil orcs! Every one of them was as tall as you The strongest of them cut off my right eye! It was a magic axe! Damn it! It even cut off half my beard! But Singers Macluve, as brave as the ore, still Smashed his toes with a warhammer, broke his thighs, and finally smashed that damned orc to a pulp! Hahaha!"

Once again the tunnel was filled with dwarven chatter, some dangerous battle, some strange scar, former mining companions, some particular ore, or cursing those metallurgists and alchemists, making the dark tunnel Almost turned into a hilarious outing.Chen Jinyang has never met such a nagging guy, and he regrets this action!Chen Jinyang almost had the urge to strangle this old boy to death.

"I'll bet it! We're only going to go another 100 meters and we'll get to the best mining area! Or make the other half of my beard disappear!" Singers yelled after turning a bend.

"If your bet can be fulfilled! Even a hundred beards are not enough to disappear!" Chen Jinyang, who was almost insane, hit the one-eyed dwarf mercilessly.

After several hours of trekking, the two people who traveled almost ten miles never found a suitable excavation area.After entering a fork, there was a sudden noise in the darkness in front of him. Singers quickly stopped his mouth and footsteps, picked up the warhammer and the steel shield in the drag bucket, and made a defensive posture against the darkness.Seeing this, Chen Jinyang also pulled out the scimitar on his back, and took off the bull's-eye lantern on the drag bucket with the other hand, and the two of them walked forward slowly and gradually explored forward.

"Boom!"Singers shouted excitedly: "I said it! I said it! Mineral deposits! Mineral deposits! Haha!" The one-eyed dwarf quickly ran back to push the drag bucket with his short legs, and the armor on his body "squeaked" non-stop.

When the two approached the area where the excavation sound came from, the excavation sound suddenly disappeared. The old dwarf was overwhelmed by the excitement, while Chen Jinyang was a bold man with high skills. The two rushed to the place where the excavation sound was heard without hesitation. No one here!Nothing at all!Chen Jinyang lit a pitch pine torch to illuminate the surroundings, but it was at the end of a tunnel, and a few piles of rocks fell on the uneven stone walls, obviously knocked down by something, but there were no people or tools around.

Chen Jinyang and Singers stared at each other for a long time, the old dwarf's heart skipped a beat, and he said loudly: "Work has started! Even a giant dragon here can't stop old Singers from working!" The pickaxe started to work, Chen Jinyang inserted the torch in the concave hole in the wall, which seemed to be specially chiseled by someone, he took out the crossbow in the magic bag and loaded the arrow, and put the scimitar in a convenient place, and then Pick up the pickaxe from the trailer.

Chen Jinyang stared speechlessly at the pickaxe, which was shorter than his arm, and turned back to the dwarf greedily stroking the stone wall, "Hi! Old Singers! This is the mining tool you prepared for me?"

Chapter 18 People from Chang'an Town

Chen Jinyang tapped on the hard wall boredly with a pickaxe that was similar to a child's toy. Facing the almost crazy dwarf, he really couldn't arouse any interest in his work. In other words, Singers didn't expect Chen Jinyang to dig out a lot of ore for him, but regarded him as a "pet" for his mining trip, and the one-eyed dwarf didn't want anyone to split him. The glory and fun of a heap of premium ore.

But Dwarf Singers is doomed to be disappointed today. The excavation site he found is obviously not a qualified place to bury minerals. However, more than a dozen pieces of low-quality iron ore were harvested.

Singers McCluf opened his gray-brown left eye full of enthusiasm, and the pupil was covered with thin bloodshot eyes. He knocked on the hard rock formation feebly, and the overwork almost exhausted the dwarf's physical strength, but he Still unwilling to give up the work in hand, the hoarse voice kept muttering: "I can dig another piece! I can dig it soon! Praise the supreme Moradin! Old Singers can dig more ore ! Praise the great Dumathoin! Let the earth have so many treasures!"

"Enough old Singers! That's it for today! We should go back!" Seeing the light on the last torch gradually dimming, Chen Jinyang had no choice but to speak out to remind his companions who had fallen into a demon.

Singers roared dissatisfied: "No! I can dig more! You don't want to stop the work of the great Singers!"

Chen Jinyang responded without giving in: "We don't have enough torches!"

The one-eyed dwarf stopped what he was doing, grabbed the iron jug beside him and aimed his head up at the mouth of the jug, trying to moisten his thirsty throat, but not even a drop of ale flowed out. Singers had died two hours ago. Drank the only drink he had brought.Frustrated, he threw away the empty jug in his hand, and said hoarsely: "We still have half a can of lamp oil! It's enough for me to work for several hours!" In fact, compared to 360-degree lighting tools such as torches , The bull's-eye lantern is not suitable for mining. People prefer to use it to illuminate the dark road ahead when they are on the road. This kind of lighting tool has been carefully polished to guide the light to the only exit. It is a one-way lighting Fan Ming can reach sixty feet away and twenty feet wide.

Chen Jinyang took out a poor-quality water bag from the magic bag and handed it to the old dwarf. Singers, whose throat was almost smoking, snatched the water bag, raised it over his head, and poured the cool water into his throat. A small half of it was poured on the head, mixed with the dust on the body and turned into black mud, covering the face and beard. "There's only enough lamp oil left for us to walk home! And you're hungry! You need to rest!" He continued trying to convince the dwarf, who was slightly awake from the cold water.

Singers still stubbornly refused: "Never! I will never give up! Besides, as long as you have something to eat! Give me another piece of bread!" Chen Jinyang really wanted to slap this old bastard to death!The old dwarf Singers actually didn't bring anything to eat or drink except a small jug of ale during this long mining trip. The long time of doing nothing and the excitement of last night made him completely forget about the careful preparations.Now this old guy actually opened his mouth to ask himself for food. I am a hired apprentice, and you are the boss who pays the wages. There is no way in this world that an apprentice is responsible for the boss's food.

Chen Jinyang endured his anger and took out a piece of hard bread, and said to the dwarf, "Listen to old Singers! I can give you bread! But we must go back immediately!" Singers' small eyes followed the hard bread greedily. Turning around, he tilted his head cunningly, and tentatively said: "I can go back if you want! Unless you come here with me next time!" Chen Jinyang, who was eager to go home, agreed to the dwarf's request without hesitation.

The dwarf holding the hard bread and munching, looked at Chen Jinyang who was packing up tools, and tried again: "Accompany me to dig here twice more! How about it?"

If you come once, you will come, if you come twice, you will come!After packing up the tools, Chen Jinyang said helplessly, "Okay! I'll come with you!"

Excited, the dwarf quickly ate up all the bread, and energetically picked up the handle of the tractor. Chen Jinyang pulled a rope in front, and followed the light of the bull's-eye lantern to the tunnel home.Old Singers yelled as he walked: "McRoof has returned with a lot of money (in fact, the most stupid normal miner in Mirabar has a lot more in an hour than he has today)! Tomorrow he will have more! William! Oh! You are such a good boy! Sure enough, I saw you right! How about you do it with me three more times?"

Chen Jinyang replied weakly: "Do as you please!"

"How about five times?"

"Do whatever you like!"

"How about ten times? One hundred times?"

"Old thing! Why don't you die! I'll strangle you right now!" Chen Jinyang, who was patient with me, finally went berserk, and got into a fight with the dwarf who was aggressive, and the two disappeared into the darkness noisily. A pair of cold green eyes flashed in the mine, staring at the direction where the two disappeared for a while, and then the knocking sound of "Boom! Boom!" sounded again.

When the last half ounce of lamp oil was burned out, Chen Jinyang finally dragged the exhausted dwarf back to the narrow sloping passage where he set out. An old child had nothing to do all day in the dark underground tunnel, Chen Jinyang shook his head with a wry smile.

Strolling through the cold street, Chen Jinyang stepped into the concealed door. Finia and Alos were still awake, and they had been waiting for his return.As for Misha'er and Elf, the elf girl, the two "little enemies" are cuddling each other and sleeping on the soft winter wolf fur mattress.Even in her sleep, the little girl still didn't forget to wear her little "baby", and the elf was sucking one of her own slender little thumbs unconsciously.

Chen Jinyang stopped Alos and Finia who were surprised by his return and wanted to make a sound. He waved his hands and went to another room with them. Alos said impatiently: "William! El Lago Someone from Mr.’s family is here! It’s a mysterious magician! She’s been here today! My God! This is the first time I’ve seen a real magician!” They would not reveal their identities casually, because that would easily lead to unnecessary danger and trouble, and it would be difficult for ordinary people except experienced veterans to identify them, except of course those arrogant daredevils.And a powerful mage with outstanding temperament rarely appears in front of people, so ordinary people know very little about mages, and they only leave two impressions of mystery and strength through rumors, and of course some may also include knowledge and wisdom.

Chen Jinyang asked with some surprise: "Oh? Someone from the Harbell family has come? He has been here? What did the mage say?"

The little boy shouted excitedly: "That's a beautiful lady! A beautiful lady magician! Oh! She's so beautiful! I almost choked when I saw her! Brother! You know what? Oh! Beautiful Miss Bella!" The thin face of the incoherent Alos was flushed red, Chen Jinyang looked at the young guy speechlessly, she was nothing more than a woman, why was she so excited? ! "Oh! That's right! She said that she will come over tomorrow! William! Will I learn magic from Miss Bella in the future? Oh yeah!"

Chen Jinyang snapped his fingers on the overexcited boy's head, and he reprimanded the little guy rubbing the sore spot: "You useless guy! Why is a mere female magician so excited? Go! Go back to sleep! What's the matter?" Let’s talk about it tomorrow!” After saying that, he drove the little guy back to sleep, and he dragged the yawning Phinya back to the bedroom on the next floor. The dream was gone, and Alos glanced at the closed door, and went back to his bedroom in dismay. sleeping bunks.

The next morning, Chen Jinyang woke up refreshed and continued his daily practice. When he returned home from outside the city, several people were already waiting at home.The consul Sunderland Stagrim, the mercenary chief Gossa, and a short blonde girl.Sunderland tilted his head and smiled mysteriously at Chen Jinyang, while Gosar greeted him awkwardly: "Hello! Mr. William!" Chen Jinyang also responded with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days! Gosar! This Have a good few days, you guys!"

Gosar, who was a little flattered, responded repeatedly: "It's okay! It's okay! Mr. William! This lady is..." The mercenary leader pointed to the strange girl and prepared to introduce her.But the girl rejected Gosar's intentions, and she stepped forward and announced arrogantly:

"I'm Bey Islam Delary Hubbell, the leader of Longsaddle Town—the daughter of Delary! Big man! You're that fool William? I don't see anything special about you! Except that you're taller." Every stranger who talked to Chen Jinyang was not used to looking up and talking to him, because it was a bit uncomfortable after all. Anyone who looked up felt that this man was very oppressive, especially his fearless and almost contemptuous eyes.

The girl's words made Gosar cough, and the female archon lowered her head with a smirk. She winked at the girl. Both of Bella's eyes were green, but one of them was shining with a fierce light, and the other One was gray and dull, but instead of damaging her appearance, these strange eyes added a strange charm. When she spoke, the bright eyes would flash.

Chen Jinyang looked down at the short girl with a strange gaze, which made Bella feel uncomfortable. She asked fiercely: "What are you looking at? Am I being funny? It's just a magic mistake that hurt my whole body." One eye! Even my height has been reduced by a foot (but not my weight)! I'm still a good girl! Fool William! Don't look any further!"

At this time, a crisp voice responded angrily: "You are the fool! Damn big eyes! Short winter melon! Fat lump!"

Chapter 19 The Discovery of Sunderland

With a clear and clear child's voice, Misha'er, who had just woken up, appeared in front of everyone, still wearing the crystal Cole's horn on her messy red hair, followed by an extremely indecent yawning elf.

Ever since she made a mistake in magic, Bella couldn't listen to others talking about her eyes and figure, let alone pointing her nose to face-to-face sarcasm. The female magician suddenly became angry and screamed in despair, " Ah Mata!" She waved two consecutive gestures towards the little girl in the distance, under the astonished eyes of everyone, poor Bella screamed and flew backwards, leaning against the stone wall like a puddle of ooze Slowly slid down.

Everyone looked at the unlucky female magician in surprise. No one knew what happened, except Elf and another person behind Misha, the female consul Sunderland.Both of them stared greedily at the helmet on the little girl's head. The elf only knew that it was an amazing magic item, but Sunderland recognized it inconceivably. She murmured in disbelief. : "The Horn of Cole? How is it possible?"

The little girl who was shocked by the annoying female sorceress suddenly flew upside down was very keenly aware of someone's malicious intentions. She could feel this familiar look from the little elf every day. Hiding behind William (the name William will be used in the future), he poked his head out and made a face at Ms. Sunderland, which made the female consul's mouth crooked and almost laughed out loud.

The female magician who fell on the ground stood up with difficulty. She stared at the elf girl Elf fiercely with cannibalistic eyes. She thought it was the yawning elf who countered her spell and attacked herself. I suspect that something is wrong with the little girl.When Bella regained her strength and prepared to cast other spells to "take revenge" on Elf, Sunderland stopped her: "Miss Bella! Please don't use offensive spells here!"

The angry female magician stomped the ground a few times bitterly, and finally gave up her plan to attack the elf girl. She walked up to William in great displeasure, gritted her teeth and said, "William! I'm here to be in charge of completing the Harbell Family and The rest of your deal!" She angrily pointed at Alos who was eager to try and asked: "Is that him? An ignorant kid with a little luck! Little one! Come with me! But I have to warn you! Magic The world in this world is not so fun! If you are not careful, you will lose your life!" As she said this, the angry female magician patted the cheek of the little boy who was obviously taller than her half head, as if she was about to slap him Get back to where you were just now.

William looked helplessly at Alos, who was dazzled, and looked at the female magician's almost slapped slap with a lecherous and divine expression, really "self-inflicted, I can't live!" Got it!The little girl was obviously not tempted by Bella's charm, she said angrily behind William: "The ugly bastard is not allowed to bully Alos!"

Bella was like a little wild cat whose hair was standing on end after being stimulated, she screamed sharply: "Damn it! Who do you say is ugly? This time I will never spare you! Go to hell! Ahhh... ..." But the female consul once again stopped the [Lightning Beam] she was about to send out, and Sunderland said sternly, "Daughter of Delary! Don't tell me you took Ms. Stagrim's warning as a deaf ear! Control your Emotions! Bella! She's just a child!" But she thought to herself: It really is Cole's corner!It is not affected by the curing charm spell at all!No wonder the [Group Suggestion Technique] last time suddenly went berserk uncontrollably, and I even fell for it!However, this unlucky girl, Bella, must be driven away as soon as possible, lest the members of the Huber family discover the origin of this treasure!

William also felt that it was inappropriate to quarrel with the members of the Harbell family. After all, Alos still needs to rely on them. He reached out and pushed the little girl's head back, and said humbly to the gnashing female magician : "I'm so sorry, Ms. Bella! Misha is still a child! Maybe you don't know how to appreciate your charm! Now that you're here, let's close the final deal! Alos! Go pack your things and get ready to go! He lightly kicked Alos, who was in a state of intoxication, and the awakened little boy ran to his bedroom in a panic. He didn't even see where the door was, but he hit the stone wall with his head on his forehead. Alos, who was hit by a big bag, was completely awake this time.

Alos set off again with the convoy of Huber's family, but this time the leader was replaced by Belam Delary Huber. The magic bag on the heavy carriage was filled with metal forging rods. The new guards from Chang'an Town plus the four who had recovered from injuries, the convoy of nearly 30 people slowly drove out from the north gate of Mirabar.But there was not a shrill scream from the convoy, and the almost mad female magician who was stimulated by the little girl directly transferred her anger that had nowhere to vent to the little boy, poor little Alos!Let's hope he doesn't get driven mad by the cranky Bella before he gets to Longsaddle.

Several mercenaries such as Gosar had already received their own rewards, and they gave up their plan to go with the furious female magician. The elf girl also rejected Gosar's invitation, and she never let go of the little girl's head. She coveted the helmet, but William confiscated all the commission she just got, "My little gold coin! Damn William! Greedy vampire!..." Elf looked at herself with teary eyes, "hard work" The "death money" earned was instantly confiscated by the hateful "vampire" as food expenses.

When William and the others returned to the stone house where they temporarily lived, Sunderland never took his eyes off Misha's fiery red curly hair. This female consul who had been absent-minded during the transaction with the Hubbell family did not even argue about the transaction price. Just settled the bill hastily, and drove the female magician out of Mirabar City as quickly as possible.

William has always been wary of Sunderland. After all, the scene when they met for the first time was too strange. The attitudes of this woman before and after were too different. "This excuse is too childish, and William can't figure out what is going on in this woman's mind.

Sunderland has also had a feeling of madness these days, and for someone of her stature, she was exhausted by the events of the previous few days, when she first met members of the eccentric team leader William At that time, the lady in the high position suddenly became playful, and she wanted to play with the country boy in front of her, but a disaster happened.

Sunderland's tried-and-tested technique [group suggestion technique] suddenly went berserk and out of control, and she could only groan when William pinched her neck. The confused woman unconsciously tried to use the wrong information to gain benefits for Mirabar, but as the effect of the spell gradually weakened, the female consul finally found out embarrassingly that she had done a big "Oolong Incident".

At this point, Sunderland can only make mistakes, after all, this misunderstanding is also beneficial to Mirabar.For some unexplainable reason, she sent someone to restrict outsiders' contact with William, and deliberately introduced him to the abandoned blacksmith Singers McCluf, but Bella's appearance made her have another New Discovery - Corner of Cole.

The Horn of Cole, an ancient relic created by a neutral and powerful existence in ancient times, no one understands its true function, including its previous owners, who cannot discover the full function of this gift. It is said that this artifact It has disappeared thousands of years ago, and even most wise people regard it as a nonsense rumor.Sunderland once read a little about it in an ancient elf notebook. Legend has it that people who wear this treasure are not affected by any mental spells. Any triggering magic within the range, which is why most sages believe that the Horn of Cole is a fiction, and no one believes that such a heaven-defying thing exists.

The [Force Field Wave] that Bella launched against Misha was strangely distorted and bounced back. Thinking of what happened to him a few days ago, Sunderland immediately thought of the Corner of Cole. This is not the female archon's imagination. The power is rich enough, but because she heard the news about another artifact a few days ago--Clinshinibon.

There are three equally famous artifacts recorded in that elf notebook, which respectively represent the three extreme forces of law and goodness, absolute neutrality, chaos and evil. Clinshinibon is the representative of chaos and evil, and belongs to absolute neutrality. His artifact is the Horn of Cole.

Chapter 20 I will never let you go

Sunderland approached William with a weird smile on her beautiful face. Sensitive Misha hid behind her brother, and she clearly felt the consul's ulterior motives.

William didn't want to entangle this woman any longer, so he asked, "Ms. Sunderland has always been busy with affairs, so I don't know why you are here?"

"Since Mr. William came to Mirabar City, our citizens have been in a state of anxiety! Your existence has made the council very difficult!" The tone of the squinting blue-eyed woman seemed to be talking about a very heinous incident.

William frowned and asked, "What does this have to do with me? I don't seem to have done anything I shouldn't have done!"

Sunderland feigned displeasure and said, "Your Excellency's act of pretending to be a dragon is very shameful! Because of Mr. William's prank, many..."

"Wait! When did I say I'm a dragon? I can't accept the slander of Madam Consul! And the way of slander is too ridiculous!" William interrupted her, screaming innocently stand up.

"This..." Sunderland couldn't help but say: Damn it!Should the noble Lady Stagrim admit that all this was the result of her mischievous missteps?never!Besides, this is too embarrassing!And no one even knows that the Archon of Mirabar is a mysterious magician!At least in this city no one knows!Except for the lord here, Marquis Erastu Larim!

The beautiful eyes of this proud woman rolled, she looked around the house she was in and said: "Okay! Let's not talk about pretending to be a dragon for now! But we should have a good discussion about the ownership of this house! God Don’t give bread to the farmer for no reason (a Faerun proverb, similar to no pie in the sky)!”

William said in his heart, "Sure enough," but he didn't respond to the female consul's topic. William wanted to see what kind of tricks this woman was playing.

Seeing that William didn't talk to her, the woman who smiled like a fox who ate a chicken said to herself, "Such a house in Mirabar is worth thousands of gold coins! Could it be that Mr. William wants to occupy it for nothing? This is not in line with the lord Legal restrictions!"

William asked back with a smile on his face: "So what does Madam Consul mean? How should this matter be resolved?"

Sunderland pretended to inspect the whole house, she was a little surprised to see the winter wolf fur on the bed in the bedroom, she pointed to it and said to William who was following her, "I think this piece of wolf fur here is worth a lot. , but it’s still not enough to cover the value of this house.” As she spoke, the female consul circled around a few people, pointing at Misha’er’s little head indifferently, and said, “Just give me this helmet. It's not a valuable item, but it's a cool little thing! I can convince the city hall to let you pay the rest of the balance later! How about it! I'm a good-hearted philanthropist!" Sander Lan's tone seemed to be a great gift to William's family.

William, who was extremely disgusted by Sunderland's tone, hadn't opened his mouth yet, and the two little girls were like a mother beast whose cubs had been moved by someone. fire:

"Damn bad guy! Don't think about my 'Warrior Crown'! Brother William will never agree to you!"

"Greedy woman! Stop coveting my treasure as soon as possible! The beautiful Elf will not let you succeed!"

"You nasty elf! What is your treasure? It's obviously mine!"

"Hoho! Isn't yours mine! Even if it's not now, it will fall into my hands sooner or later! Hohoho—!"

……

Ok!Before the "foreign enemies" were driven away, the two "little enemies" started fighting again.

Full of confidence, Sunderland didn't care about the nonsense of the two little girls. She looked at William with confidence and said, "I don't know what Mr. William will do? This is a rare opportunity, and those big businessmen in the south can count on it." Double the price, it is even more difficult to get such a house in Mirabar! Don't miss this opportunity!"

William said in embarrassment: "You can take the winter wolf skin! As for the helmet! You heard it too! Misha disagrees! I can't do anything!"

"A little bitch who doesn't understand anything! Don't care what she does! Just give me the helmet! I can even persuade the city hall to exempt the part that is not enough after the wolf skin is removed!" Sunderland glanced at the elf girl with disdain The little girl who made a fuss continued to increase the bargaining chip of temptation.

William sneered in his heart: So it was aimed at the little girl's helmet!Little idea that something snatched from the meanest goblin could be so attractive!No wonder the elf is hanging on to it!I thought this weird little guy was trying to make trouble with the little girl on purpose!This bitch really thinks I'm an idiot!He pretended to be regretful and rejected the "kindness" of the female consul.

Sunderland was getting a little impatient, and she said loudly with an incredible expression: "I don't agree with this! Are you an idiot? Well, you just need to give me that helmet! I can even give up the precious winter wolf skin don't want!"

William said with a sad face in a maddening tone: "Oh! Thank you very much! Generous Mrs. Sunderland Stagrim! I would very much like to agree to your terms! But! Alas—!" Sigh With a sigh of relief, he turned around and instantly changed his smile and said loudly: "Finia! Misha! Go and pack up! We are moving!" Several people laughed and rolled up their simple bedding and prepared to leave. It was proudly sticking out its little tongue at the female consul and making faces.

"William! You—!" Sunderland, who was trembling with anger, blushed. This dazed woman was completely lost in her previous shrewdness. She screamed and threw herself at the little girl, regardless of her demeanor. "Don't go! The Horn of Cole is mine!"

William sneered and moved away, and the crazy female consul slammed her head into his hard chest.The poor woman immediately covered her nose and knelt down on the ground sobbing. Her nose was sore and unbearable, and her tears couldn't stop pouring out.William also knelt down and pretended to be in pain and continued to respond to her: "Oh! Generous lady! You are so kind! I really want to promise you! Ah! What a nice house! Your old man kept his own house. Let's play alone!" After speaking, he stood up and led the three of them out of the house, leaving only Ms. Sunderland crying even more sadly.

"Damn guy! Bastard! I will never let you go!" William, who was far away, pretended not to hear the cursing of the female consul, and several people crossed the opposite street with smiles, and came to Old Singers' blacksmith shop .

"Old Singers! We are going to live with you in the future! Do you like it? Hahaha!" William smiled and pushed the old dwarf who was still asleep.

Singers opened his confused left eye and muttered sleepily: "Who are you? Oh! William! Is it dawn? Damn it! You came too early! Wait until I wake up!" The old dwarf closed his eyes and continued to sleep deeply.

William said to the three without any scruples: "Leave him alone! Let's tidy up the living quarters first!" The four of them came to the room on the third floor, which was a set of messy storage rooms. Two larger ones Behind the hall are three small rooms connected in a series.When the one-eyed dwarf woke up tormented by hunger, William and the others had almost tidied up the living quarters. Singers was surprised to see the changed room and shouted: "William, you damn bastard! Look at how you put old Xin What has become of Gus' house! . . . "

Although the old dwarf was very dissatisfied with the change of the house, the three of William and Finia still lived here. Although the lonely Singers didn't say anything, he was very happy to have more people living in the family, especially It was two extremely mischievous little guys who made him revel in reprimanding and nagging every day.

The next day, the energetic dwarf was about to go into the underground tunnel to dig again. The dozen ore pieces of low-quality ore harvested last time were too few, and Singers felt blush thinking about it now.However, there are three new members in this excavation trip, Finia, Misha, and Elf the elf will also set off together. Because of offending Sunderland, William is really worried about leaving the three alone. Down.

This time, William and Singers made more thorough preparations. The first-class baked bread, bacon, sausage, vegetables, salt, water, ale, stewing pot and other food and tableware were enough for five people to support them underground for several days.Dozens of pints of lamp oil, torches, and lamps saved everyone from having to worry about lighting for half a month. There were also large picks, sleeping bags, and blankets. The old dwarf was very greedy for William's magic bag.
