The Swordsman of Faerûn

"Cathomier's ownership has not been finalized, and my father will definitely not be reconciled. I am afraid that the trip to Waterdeep City is still inevitable. And you, your group is really strange, giants, children, female warriors, young bragging boys, haha I have never seen such an interesting combination, and seeing your leisurely appearance is like going on an outing. Who are you?" The girl's mood was only depressed for a few seconds, and she turned her attention to The origin of William et al. above.

There was a wry smile on William's face, and he sighed: "This question is really difficult to answer, because it is more bizarre than the story of two unlucky paladins. To put it simply, we are accepting the entrustment of a deceased friend. Entrusted to escort his relatives somewhere, and now we are in the process of escorting."

The girl curled her lips and said: "I know you won't tell the truth, a liar who shows off his rhetoric, are you a troubadour, why didn't I see your canon? Forget it, I don't care about these, it's just a Xi Zhihuan, I don't intend to let you be my lover." The girl extended her palm to her private place while talking, and a faint white holy light was shining between the girl's palm, but William didn't know anything about it .

William couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the girl's words, and frowned, "What do you mean? You want to turn your back on it?" It seems that the character who said this is a bit wrong, and it should be the girl's lines to make sense.

The girl broke away from William's arms, snorted softly and said with a smile: "What do you mean by 'turning your face and denying your debt'? Don't forget that you took advantage and I was the victim. Don't think too much, just treat it as a Beautiful misunderstanding, don't miss me too much in the future!" After she finished speaking, she picked up the torn clothes on the ground and put them on.

Misunderstand?This silly girl is really...William couldn't help being very disappointed with the concept of women in this world. Why don't they have the kind of good moral character of "marry a chicken and follow a chicken, marry a dog and follow a dog", even if this kind of overly exaggerated state cannot be achieved It is not too much to ask for a lover who is "lingering forever".

Angry from the heart, evil to the guts (exaggerated), William grabbed the girl who was tidying up the scattered clothes, and said "viciously": "Don't even think about it! Since you are my woman, then follow me obediently." Forever." After that, William opened his mouth and gnawed at the girl fiercely, and the girl suddenly broke free from William's forceful kiss unexpectedly, then shrank her delicate body, and broke the clothes that William had grabbed.

The girl quickly distanced herself from William, hid almost naked behind a big rock and said, "Stop! William, don't come over, if you get any closer, I'll call for help."

William looked at the girl with some doubts, and asked in amazement, "What's going on? Why did your strength suddenly increase?"

The girl smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry about it. Now listen, I want you to play a scene with me, at least to convince my father that you raped me. Then, run for your life, run for your life, run for your life The farther the better, otherwise the saints of the God of Justice are not vegetarians."

William said angrily: "You stinky girl! How dare you play me?"

"No way! Who made you happen to be? The goddess of fortune, Tymora, once entrusted me with a dream, saying that in you, I can regain my old calling... Hehe, the goddess still asked me to greet you. Who are you? Even the gods pay so much attention to you?" The girl smiled treacherously, like a gluttonous little girl who just snatched her younger brother's lollipop.

William was even angrier when he heard this, and couldn't help but yelled: "Tymora, you bitch! Bastard bitch! Didn't I just slap you, and fuck you forever! You wait..." Enough scolding , William said to the girl in a vicious voice again: "Erebes! You little brat, don't think that I will let you go! When I send that child back, you see how I will deal with you. Don't you want to know who I am, go On the docks of Waterdeep, find the captain of the Sir Henry, a bastard named Eric Morgan, and he'll tell you what kind of man I am, William."

"Eric Morgan? Hee hee, okay, I remember. Now, are you ready? I'm going to call, help! Help! Father! Come and save me!" I have to say that women are born to act The master of the game, that stern voice, that high-pitched tone, is full of the despair and helplessness of the little girl. Of course, if the girl can change the smile on her face into panic, it will be more like it.

Erebeth yelled for a while, but stopped and asked a little timidly: "How is my acting? Do I look like a poor little lamb? Oh, I spent a long time trying to figure it out."

William's nose was crooked in anger, he snorted coldly and was too lazy to speak, Erebes shrugged his shoulders and said dismissively: "It's fine if you don't say anything, what a cheapskate. By the way, my hair! Oh, it was messy and good Why are you tidying it up for me?" The girl rubbed her hands vigorously on her head a few times, turning her beautiful long brown hair into a mess of thatch, and William, who was choking, couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth. Down.

After finishing her hair, the girl ran towards the tent, yelling and shouting while running, but stopped after a few steps.The crazy girl Erebes turned around and shouted to William who was standing there: "Why are you standing there stupidly, why don't you come and chase me! Remember, you have to pretend."

William no longer had the energy to be angry. He looked up to the sky and sighed, wanting to cry but without tears: "I'm a fucking scapegoat! Why is it so hard?"

Chapter 81 Misha is fighting

Compared with the shrewdness or cunning of Santilla's master and apprentice, Helen, Elastra and others, Erebes, who is still immature at this time, is really nothing. She is far from the strongest in Faerun in the future. The demeanor of a paladin.For Erebes, after deliberately losing himself to William in order to escape the test of the saint, the ensuing play was nothing more than a joking little prank.

But for William, all this is completely different. Unlike the psychological tacit understanding with several women in the past, William is really tempted this time. He thought that the girl's innocence and youthfulness would give him a different feeling. Feelings, no conspiracy, no calculation, no... only clear and pure beauty.William realized that he was completely wrong. There were no fairy tales in this world, and a light blow from the girl ruthlessly shattered his fantasy.

Although I was tricked a little by Erebeth, a poor girl, but after all, it was William who really pushed her a big girl, and the morality of "hitting her father after sleeping with her daughter" has no lower limit. William really can't do dirty things, he can't say anything, he can't explain, William ran in a panic, he just had time to greet Yasuna, and then ran away in an extremely aggrieved manner.

William ran in front, and behind him was the old Delber who was waving a big sword and howling "struggling". Although the old warrior screamed fiercely, he had just woken up from a hangover. William "prawn" was injured, and in the end, the old Delber could only watch William's disappearing back, jump on his feet and curse.

Although William ran away, Yasuna and the four still stayed here before they could leave in the future. Ever since seeing the cat and cat insects in the morning, Fenham has been greedy for the little girl's pets. Seeing William as a man "run away in a hurry Road", there is no reason not to take advantage of the fire.Ever since, Fernum, who had been beating and drumming on the sidelines, jumped out arrogantly, blocked the way of several people, and said sharply: "You guys, who are with that nasty William, are definitely not good people. Now, confess to the God of Justice! Of course, you don’t need to confess, but take the... Hey! Talk about you, that little red-haired little guy, it’s useless to stare at me, put the little one in your arms Give me the white cat! Do you hear me?"

As Fenham said, he was about to step forward to snatch it, and Misha'er subconsciously hugged the cat, and said with red eyes: "Don't think about it! This is Misha's cat, and you will never let it be snatched away." Don't come here! Come here again... Misha'er will be angry if you come here again!" William's departure made the little girl lose her heart, but she didn't have enough confidence to speak.

"Angry? Haha, what can you do if you're angry? Are you crying? I... ouch!" The little half-elf Fenem proudly approached the little girl, and reached out to snatch the cat and insect. The mother and daughter of the frost giant behind the little girl also did not notice the playfulness on Yasuna's face.Accidents often happen when you get carried away. Obviously, William's half a year of training was not in vain. Misha'er, who was forced to look anxiously, subconsciously whipped Fenham away, poor little The unlucky guy turned several somersaults in a row before he stopped rolling.

This kick came very abruptly, Yasuna and Finiya showed understanding, but they knew the power of the little girl, and Xiaomi Luna widened her eyes in surprise, of course, she was also happy. Someone peeping from a distance.

Seeing that the blow was successful, the little girl immediately lost her fear. It turned out that the guy opposite was nothing special. She stuffed the cat cat bug into Xiaomi Luna's arms, rolled up her sleeves and bared her little white teeth. rushed up.

After being kicked dizzily, it took a while for Fnum to get up from the ground, and at the same time he said angrily, "You little girl! How dare you kick me? I want... ah!" As soon as I looked up, I saw a delicate little fist suddenly magnified in front of my eyes, then my left eye hurt, and Venus burst out immediately, then my right eye, my face, and my nose was sore, and an indescribable smell came from my nasal cavity Spread out.

Misha'er's set of punches was very standard, but in the blink of an eye, Fenem had been beaten by Misha'er, his face was full of peach blossoms, his nose was bruised, his face was swollen, his eyes were black, and his originally delicate face suddenly changed. Become a ridiculous and poor suckling pig head.Seeing his son being beaten up, the old Delber, who was still a little confused, quickly came to rescue him with his sword. The old warrior didn't have the idea of ​​bullying the younger, he just wanted to pull the two fighting children away.

It's a pity that although Old Delber planned this way, he forgot to put down the sword in his hand, and others didn't think so.However, when Mi Sha'er saw the old man who had "bullied" her brother earlier rushing towards her with a "violent look" (if that swaying while walking was considered a rush), she didn't mean to back down. The "fight" just now had already made her She gathered up enough courage, the little girl gave the half-elf boy a ruthless blow directly, causing the poor little guy to fall to the ground and howl while clutching his crotch, while she bravely rushed over.

In Faerun, except for some small-sized races, human beings are in a disadvantaged position compared to a large number of creatures, so William also explained to Alos and Mishaer how to deal with large-sized creatures, and At this time, the little girl used these methods on the old warrior.

Let's talk about Phineya who was standing behind watching the fun, when she saw that the old warrior was "disregarding the face" and wanted to attack Misha, she was furious, and she swung the Thunder Frost in her hand, "Woo!" out.With the continuous increase of experience, although Feniya has become a lot more mature and reliable than before, and she is also a lot smarter, but she is still a simple girl who is unaware of some people's sophistication.Therefore, seeing that Misha'er was in "danger", the half-giant directly attacked the killer, and Thunder Frost flew towards Old Delber's forehead whistling with a gust of evil wind.

The old warrior who was dazed by alcohol at this time can retain [-]% of his combat power, which is already a good achievement. When he came to the little girl with a shaky figure, he suddenly found that Misha, who was shaking in front of his eyes, had disappeared. He disappeared, and then he suddenly felt a pain in his ankle, and fell on his back because he couldn't stand still, just getting out of the way of Thunder Frost's ax blade, but the battle sword in his hand was thrown upwards when he fell, and was caught by the sharp war sword. The ax cuts right through it.The fine gold battle ax passed over the fallen old Delber's head, flew out dozens of feet, and chopped on a rock the size of a door panel, splitting the rock in two like tofu.

Erebeth broke into a cold sweat from Feniya's thrilling slash of the axe, while Misha'er kicked the old warrior down with a short slithering step, but took the opportunity to kick on the old Delber's old face. Two feet, still muttering in his mouth: "Bad old man! Seeing how dare you bully brother, Misha'er's feet are very powerful!" Hearing Yasuna shout: "Mimisha'er, come back soon!" Back to the frost giant.

Chapter 82 Not Walking Alone

Under the sluggish eyes of the Timarand family, the four of Misha'er left very calmly. With their defiant appearance, the angry old Delber made a big pancake face. In fact, it is no fault of him. Even if someone kicks you in the face twice, you can't even think about laughing.

Old Delber really didn't understand what kind of existence that little girl was under her delicate appearance. Look at the strength of those two feet. Is this still a teenage girl?The old samurai felt his back molars were about to strike.He believed that if he "lost his teeth before he gets old" in the future, it must be the fault of that little girl.

Old Delber spat out a mouthful of blood angrily, and looked at the direction where the four of Yasuna disappeared and was silent for a while. At this time, the little half-elf Fnum with a suckling pig's head walked up to him. , with a big tongue: "Lou Di (father), don't you seem to be inside (are you okay)?"

The old warrior looked down at his son with crooked eyes and slanted nose, and said distressedly: "Father is fine, Fernum. My son, how are you? Does it matter?"

Fenham puffed his cheeks and said, "Lou Di (father), I'm dead (I'm fine), and Sang, who is in the fourth quarter of high school, is funeral (I just feel my face is swollen)."

"Ani! Why are you standing there stupidly, why don't you hurry up and see how Furnam is doing?" Hearing his son's comforting words, the old warrior couldn't help feeling sour, and turned his head to call Erebes loudly.Erebes, who was thinking in the distance, agreed, frowned and moved slowly.

"My poor son...Ani! What are you dawdling for? Come here quickly, you...wait! What's wrong with you?" Wanting to reprimand a few words, I suddenly felt that something was wrong with my daughter.

"No...it's nothing, what can I do." Everyone can see that Erebeth's words are insincere. In fact, the injury to her lower body has not been completely healed, but the pain has been temporarily relieved. Running, the wound that was barely healed was touched again.

"No! What's going on? You... you won't be... given by that kid..." Old Delber's face, which was already very "persimmon", became even uglier, and he stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes in horror He stared at his daughter in vain, hoping in vain to get a negative answer.Unfortunately, to the despair of the old samurai, Erebes nodded sadly to show that his guess was correct.

Old Delber looked up to the sky in despair and let out a mournful cry: "No! It's not true! That damned bastard, I'm going to kill that kid, I'm going to kill him..." He yelled and grabbed the missing half of the blade His battle sword was about to chase in the direction William and the others left.

Erebes quickly dragged his father back and said, "Forget it, father! Just treat us as unlucky, as if we were bitten by a damned sharp-toothed beast. Father, don't go, you will die."

The old samurai is not an impulsive and reckless young man. No one knows if his actions just now are just for show except himself. After all, he has a deep understanding of how powerful those women who left are. It is natural for him to be held back by his daughter. After going along with the flow, jumping around and cursing "William bastard..." for a while, the old Delber took his anger out on his daughter again: "You stupid girl with no brains, don't you know how to resist? Just watch Let him succeed?" The old warrior did have a reason to be angry, he knew his daughter's strength well, let alone himself, even in the entire Northland, he really couldn't think of anyone with better sword skills than Erebes Excellent (Cui Heizi was not very famous at this time, but even if he was a double sword, he had to compete to know).

Erebeth pretended to be sad and said: "You don't know how strong that William is. I... I was caught by him. I tried a lot, but I couldn't break free. He is very strong."

"What about your sword? Could it be that it can't be displayed?"

Erebes suddenly looked stunned, and said angrily: "Oh! I forgot in a moment of panic."

Old Delber's angry face froze, this excuse is too bad, even a fool would not believe it, let alone an old Jianghu like him, but the old warrior lost the desire to get angry, he said in a lonely low voice: "Ai Ni, Dad knows that you don't want to participate in the 'Eye of Tyr' saint trial, but you have to know..."

Erebes said with a hint of anger: "I know, you have always been worried about being deprived of Casomir's ownership by the temple. For this, you did not hesitate to betray the glory of the paladin, but it has been more than ten years. It's over, why bother..."

As soon as Erebeth said this, the "suckling pig head" Furnem next to him suddenly interrupted: "Lou Di (father), I am walking the dog (I want to inform you)! Just now, my sister put down the sword while you were asleep. The oath (I still don't make up the word count)! Death (is) a magic sword."

Erebeth glanced at his younger brother Furnum and threatened in a low voice: "Speak up! I won't beat you up later." Fnum returned a grimace confidently, but it looked uglier than crying.

Erebeth noticed that the old warrior was showing signs of breaking out, and quickly changed the subject: "Father, although I lost the qualification for the trial this time, I also got a surprise. I am now a real paladin! "

Old Delber couldn't help being taken aback, and said with a trembling corner of his mouth: "What? I didn't hear clearly just now, please say it again, you..."

Erebeth said with a smile: "I said that I felt the holy call, and I have already responded to the bond of destiny (the ceremony of becoming a paladin requires a bloody and painful test to prove my firm belief). I am already a The true paladins who hold divine power, those so-called saints, let them go to Jergal (the king of the end of all things that non-evil people are more willing to accept than the three gods of death now)."

"You said you already..." The old warrior looked at his daughter in disbelief, but when Erebeth's raised hand shone with a faint milky white light, he believed it completely. He held his daughter's hand and felt the The warmth of the light, and sticking it to his face (actually, the old man suffered from a severe toothache and wanted to use it to heal his wounds), a familiar feeling came to his heart, and the old warrior couldn't help crying.

After a long time, the old warrior finally put away the tears of nostalgia. He let go of Erebeth's little hand and wiped his face vigorously, only to find that the swelling on his face had disappeared. It didn't hurt anymore, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on the old warrior's old face.

Old Delber muttered happily: "Sure enough, the Lord of Gods did not abandon the Timarand family." He rubbed his hands excitedly and circled around several times. But being able to become a paladin...haha.By the way, there is also that tent, which is the most luxurious adventure tent.

The old warrior in a good mood studied the tent left by William and the others with great interest. Because William left suddenly, Yasuna and the others didn't have the time to put away the tent and take it away. They just packed the important things. , the slightly stupid and important household items were abandoned in place, but it was cheaper for the Timarand family.

With a suckling pig's head on his head, Fernum ran up to Erebeth to please him and said, "Sister! My dear sister, please help me to treat it too. Look at your poor brother, he is almost dying of pain." Said Watching him try to squeeze out a smile that can scare the flowers and plants to death.

Erebes spread his hands with a smirk, and said innocently: "My poor brother, you are too late, I just used up all the spell slots for today to heal my father's face. Oh! What a pity! My cute pig-headed brother, you just stay up all night with a ridiculous pig-headed face, and wait for my spell slot to recover tomorrow! Hehe." As he spoke, Erebes slapped him a few times pretending to be intimate. Lower Furnham's swollen little face.

Fenham cried loudly, clutching his sore cheek, "Father! My sister refuses to heal me, and bullies me!" Old Delber, who was in a good mood, didn't bother to care about children's trivial matters, alas , a little dizzy, let's find a place to sleep for a while.

Besides, after William and Yasuna left the camp, he appeared in front of everyone hiding in the dark, but William looked a little lost, and walked aimlessly in the wilderness without saying a word. The heavy steps left a series of deep footprints on the decayed ground, like a monkey grandchild being crushed by Mount Tai.Behind him were the silent Yasuna, Finiya and two little girls. Seeing that William was in such a low mood, they didn't know what to say, so they could only follow behind silently.

After walking for a long time, Misha'er finally plucked up the courage to run forward, and shouted anxiously, "Brother——"

William stopped and looked at the worry on the little girl's face, and finally put away the stinky face, hugged her with a forced smile and said, "Misha, my darling, why are you unhappy? Hehe, brother is fine, I'm sorry I made you worry." He kissed Misha'er's forehead, and said in an almost inaudible voice: "Brother, I promise, this kind of thing will never happen again. Yes, never again. gone."

Misha nodded vigorously, put her small face against William's cheek and giggled: "Misha believes in brother the most. William, just now Misha avenged you! That naughty old man, I But he stepped on his face very hard! Hehe, isn't Misha very powerful?"

William rubbed the little girl's head, and said with a big laugh, "Of course! Misha is the most powerful William's younger sister!"

At this time, in a wilderness and sparse forest in the north of Yata, a group of vultures were constantly undulating and circling in mid-air and among the low trees in the wilderness, fluttering their ugly wings from time to time and competing with the same kind docked on the trees for a place to stay. Figures in shadowy black robes staggered forward.

Chapter 83 The Scenery of the Golden Fields

Anyone who has been to the golden field is almost always fascinated by her beauty. Whenever the sun sets, the crowns of the dusk trees will reflect the dazzling golden color. Under the crowns are clusters of golden needles. The name Golden Fields is officially derived from these two plants.

Golden Needle Grass, as the name suggests, its leaves are shaped like long needles, but the color is not golden, but a jade-like light green. Only when they die, the leaves will turn golden yellow, but these are not the characteristics of Golden Needle Grass. the key of.The lifespan of golden needle grass is very short, from germination to death, it only takes one month. They will bloom small yellow flowers, but the seeds grow in the fat and juicy tuber roots. When the seeds mature, the tubers will rot automatically. This leads to the death of the whole golden needle, while the seeds in the tuber will stay in the decayed matter and germinate again at the same time in the second year, and the error in time will never exceed one day.

When golden needles germinate, their roots will grow and swell rapidly, and the surrounding soil will even bulge and crack and become soft, but golden needles are not good herbivores, even the most picky moose. Not willing to eat them, let alone other creatures.Fortunately, this kind of plant with almost no natural enemies can only stay in the land of the golden field forever. No matter if the golden needle is moved to any other area, even if the natural environment is surprisingly similar to the golden field, the seeds of the golden needle will not grow. Germination, like trolls among monsters, is a peculiar natural flaw that prevents golden needles from becoming a nightmare for the plants of the Material Plane.

The characteristics of golden needle grass make it difficult to see any plants that are more common in other places except for a few plants that can coexist with them, such as evening trees and golden oaks, which also makes it difficult to feed this field Animals that feed on common plants, of course, include carnivores and humans.Therefore, in the past, the Golden Field was called the "Cursed Golden Garden".

But when a group of desperate human farmers hid in this "cursed golden garden" to avoid monsters, they suddenly discovered that this is not a place "cursed by the gods", but a blessed land. paradise.The rotting quality of daylily tubers makes the land here more fertile than anyone imagined. The growth rate of grains here is more than one-third faster than other places, especially oats and rye. The ears of wheat can almost Comparable to small sized corn (corn).

Gradually, the golden field became a paradise for farmers, and one farm after another was established here, but this kind of comfortable life did not last for too long, and it didn't take long for barbarians, orcs, and other monsters to die. Focusing on this place, of course, some people say that some powerful force coveted the largest grain production area in the Northland, and deliberately drove those terrible monsters over.

But no matter what, the farmers on the golden field have already felt the threat of the monsters. Although they formed a small alliance to resist the monsters who are constantly harassing and destroying, the effect is not obvious.Fortunately, this difficult situation has been alleviated in recent years.A high-ranking priest of the goddess of the earth, Toga Ainuwen from Waterdeep, established a monastery dedicated to the goddess of the earth in this field. The monastery summoned many adventurers in the name of the goddess of the earth , and combined with the Archmages of Waterdeep City to carry out several effective eliminations of the monsters in the Golden Fields.

When William set foot on this land, he was also fascinated by the scenery of the golden field, the blue sky, the bushes, the grass, the waves of wheat, there was no barbarism, no barrenness, and no annoying monsters. On the dirt road in the field, they visited the first farmer they encountered.

The farmhouse of the farmer’s family is surrounded by fields on three sides, only the back of the house is an inconspicuous small mound. The farmhouse looks a little crude. The whole building is almost entirely made of wood. It is long and short, with a door and many closed windows. A covered porch extends from the front of the house.Next to the farmhouse was a two-story barn with wide doors for carriages.Messy fences are scattered in the vast courtyard, surrounding some strong horses, pigs, goats and cows, as well as piles of straw hay as feed, a lazy dog ​​is lying in the sun in the straw pile .

When William and the others came to the courtyard, the earth dog who was sleeping late first spotted them. It immediately jumped up and rushed up, barking continuously, reminding the owner that there was an unexpected visitor visiting the house.However, the earth dog's bravery didn't last long. When it saw clearly the target it wanted to attack, it almost collapsed immediately. Even a dog knew that it had to avoid giants.The local dog, who was almost scared out of his wits, rolled over on the ground without grace, then hurriedly got up, and ran away howling with its tail between its legs.

At this moment, the door of the farmhouse was pushed open, and an old farmer with gray hair and beard came out of the farmhouse holding an old one-handed crossbow. He shouted: "I don't care who you are, but you've frightened Cooper. Get out of my house now, or I'll shoot your ass with a crossbow arrow!" A child, a "half a lad," a beautiful woman, and a giant?

How could there be such a strange combination, what is the situation?The old man slowed down and said again: "Who are you? Why did you appear in front of my house?"

William stepped forward and performed a common meeting etiquette: "Hello, old gentleman, my name is William, an adventurer who is traveling, and this is my younger sister, Mishaer and Miluna, these two are my wives. "

A giant wife?The old man felt that his brain was not enough, which was a bit outrageous, he couldn't help laughing and asked: "What did you just say? That giantess is your wife? Haha, haha, this... this is what I have heard Funniest joke ever."

William pretended to be displeased and said, "Sir, I'm afraid you made a mistake. Phinea is not a giant, but a half-giant with half-giant blood. Is this kind of thing really funny?"

"I was being rude, hahaha——no wonder Cooper was frightened, there was a half-giant here. But why did you come here?" The old man smiled brightly, and he completely lost the tension of the first meeting. , it seems that the "half-giant wife" made him feel very funny.

William deliberately showed a little shame and blush on his face: "We came from the north and are on our way to Xikangbu. It's just that we have been trekking in the wild for several days. The two children are exhausted and need to find A resting place to rest your feet and replenish some delicious food."

Chapter 84 The Troubadour Is The Braggart

"Oh! Are you adventurers? Nice to meet you, you can call me Old Dick! Maggie? Maggie! We have guests..." After confirming that William and the others were not monsters or robbers, the old farmer suddenly Disarmed, he warmly greeted William to enter the house, and loudly ordered his wife to prepare tea and food for the guests, which greatly increased William and his friends.

Although Yasuna encountered a little trouble when entering the house, because she was too tall, she accidentally broke the door frame of the farmer's house, but there was no major problem at all.The food is not very rich, only salted toast, bacon and cabbage salad, some milky raw cheese, the taste is not comparable to the craftsmanship of the chefs in the city, but the portion is full. Eat with open cheeks.After all, there are few animals in the golden field. In order to save food these days, they have to use magic food instead of supplements. William found that the [Hero Feast] summoned by the magic spell is not omnipotent, at least for Yasuna and Phinea. has been greatly weakened.

The bread made from rye is a bit rough, it seems that the flour has not removed the bran, and worried that the two little girls might not be used to it, so they cut it into thin slices with a meat cutting knife, following the way of fast food sandwiches in previous lives , with some thin slices of bacon and cabbage salad, this very novel way of eating not only attracted the two little girls, but even the old Dick and his wife were very interested.

The old woman was still a bit reserved, but old Dick unceremoniously took some slices of meat and bread, folded them up like William, took a bite and said, "This way of eating is really interesting, oh——! It feels so good It tastes so good, I think that's how the ghosts in the big cities eat it, those damn crafty ghosts, they are really good at eating."

"Maggie! I've decided that I'll only eat this kind of stuffed bread from now on. William, boy, come! Tell us about your adventures. Alone! Monissa! Come down and listen to the story, Don't always lie there and eavesdrop, that's impolite, you know?" Old Dick yelled loudly while tasting the sandwich slice in his hand.As his words fell, two little furry heads appeared on the attic steps of the farmhouse.

Old Dick, with food in his mouth, introduced to William vaguely: "They are my youngest grandson and granddaughter, and the older one has followed their parents to the farmland. A group of mischievous 'picks' (adjectives), These little bastards will tear down the whole house if you don't watch them!"

Two children with somewhat disheveled hair ran down the stairs. The boy looked about seven or eight years old, with a little black ash on his freckled nose, and his eyes blinked mischievously. The girl should be even younger, immature There was a little restraint and curiosity on the little faces, and when their eyes touched Phinea, they were a little more afraid. The legend of the giant made them avoid them subconsciously, but the two little guys still couldn't help being curious and sneaked Looking at the half-giant out of the corner of his eye, he finally realized that Phineya had been focusing on the food in front of him and had no time to pay attention to them, so he boldly looked at her carefully.

The old lady Maggie stuffed the two unruly little guys onto the long wooden chair by the table, pinched their cheeks dotingly, "Sit down, kids! What cute little guys, oh! Look My little naughty Alone, there seems to be something on your nose. Come, let grandma clean it up for you!" Old Maggie grabbed a linen cloth by the table and wiped the dirt on the boy's nose vigorously .

The little boy's nose was rubbed red by his grandmother, and he rubbed it with his little hands and grunted a few times in dissatisfaction. The girl snickered next to him "gloating" with her little mouth covered, while Misha'er and Miluna Looking at these two little people who are smaller than them with interest, it is obvious that the appearance of the two little guys is more attractive to them than the food in their hands.

Old Dick was very gossiping: "William, tell us about your giant wife. My God! I've heard of people marrying elves as wives, and others marrying dwarves, dryads, even mermaids and orcs. It’s a woman, but this is the first time I’ve heard of marrying a giant. Such a beautiful female giant is really rare, what kind of giant is she?”

William pretentiously and elegantly cut the bacon on his plate into pieces, slowly chewed and swallowed it, and then took a sip of bitter moss tea (a plant similar to the earth tea tree, but boiled It's bark), before he said indifferently: "You mean Phinya? Well, she is a good girl, she used to wander in the hidden forest area in the north. There is a primeval forest where monsters are rampant. Phinea is alone in the I lived there for several years until I met me."

"How did you meet? Did you go to hunt down the giantess Phinea?"

"Of course not! In fact, I went hunting deer in the hidden forest. You know, after the snow falls in winter, those delicious deer always hide in the jungle. At that time, I was still staying in Nome Village. One day I was I was tracking a big-horned deer in the jungle, and when I found it, I found that the big-horned deer had been killed by Phinya and was roasting on the fire."

"what's next?"

William smiled unnaturally: "Then we had a fight (it was a hand-to-hand fight), and I won, so Phinea became my wife."

"Wow! Mr. William, you are stronger than giants. Have you ever slain a dragon? I heard that dragons are as powerful as giants." It was the naughty boy Aaroni who spoke. Although William's story was very boring, he still It deeply attracted two little guys who had never seen the market.

"Of course my brother has slayed dragons! And there are more than one." This time it was Misha'er who spoke, and it was indeed a matter of pride for her to be able to boast of her brother's achievements.

But the little girl's words frightened the two old farmer couples. Old Dick stammered and asked, "William! Did you really kill a dragon?"

William looked at the old Dick who was pretending to be suspicious, and couldn't help laughing in his heart. The old man was pretending to be a bit fake. He thought that when he went to Mirabar with a few mercenaries, the mercenary leader Gosar once said that when adventure first To be able to brag.At that time, William didn't really understand this kind of behavior of "slapping a swollen face to make a fat man", and he also didn't bother to brag. Life is long.

However, after going through so many things, William finally understood the meaning of "bragging". Hype"; to a large extent, it is a kind of skill and cultural tradition.A mercenary who can brag is always better than an honest mercenary. A fascinating adventure may win a free dinner, or a sleepless kiss from a "Nightingale" (you think the worst That's right).

Bragging about yourself and others, if your bragging level has reached a certain level, then congratulations, you are already a qualified quasi-bard, if you can please a certain god again, learn a little trick...

Listening to people bragging here is like listening to storytelling in the old days of the past. Not only the speaker must brag well, but the audience below you must also be able to applaud and respond.Only when the response is enthusiastic, the speaker will be more energetic to brag. If the audience is indifferent and drowsy, the braggart will definitely not be in the mood to continue.

Bragging (bards) are also divided into factions, such as the general grassroots faction, the orthodox academic school (a school specializing in training bards), the elf's graceful faction, and some other small factions. The same way of responding also has booing Type, radical type, elegant type, curious type and so on.

Old Dick's way of responding obviously belonged to the mixed school of low-class curious type and aggressive type. William really didn't have the heart to brag about himself, it didn't suit his nature, so he just smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying it.

Seeing that William refused to say anything, Old Dick thought that William hadn't figured out what to say, so he turned his target to Phinea and the others, and asked, "Mr. Say?" He looked at Yasuna, because she looked older and more stable among the few people, and she must have more experience in bragging.

However, Misha'er couldn't stay idle. With such a chance to brag about her brother, the little guy immediately cheered up, and eagerly interjected: "Me! Me! For me, Misha'er watched William kill the giant with her own eyes. Dragon." So the little guy chattered about the experience of William and others killing the shadow dragon "Shining Shadow" and several white dragons on the Spine of the World, but the inexperienced little girl told a good fact, It became a childish fantasy joke full of contradictions and contradictions.
