The Swordsman of Faerûn

Harvey grinned and said, "Don't do that, old man! I promise this is the last batch. Besides, the rainy season is almost over, and it won't cost you much."
The innkeeper rolled his eyes at the dead fish, jumped up and pointed at the idle guests and said angrily, "It won't cost much? Look at these nasty guys, the money they owe me for bread is enough to make the entire city of Xikang eat it up." A meal..."
Even if Harvey, the city guard, came forward, the hotel owner still looked resentful. Of course, he had a reason to do so.
This is a real world. In every human city, there are many people (adventurers) who live a life without a break. Usually they may rely on some scattered odd jobs to live, such as expelling a few goblins who crossed the border, Helping merchants from other places, and occasionally abducting some gadgets secretly, but the rainy day for a month has almost brought everything to a standstill, so in order to keep these temporarily "unemployed" idlers from Desperate because of hunger and cold, the city guard had to find a place for them to settle.
What?Who do you ask to pay?That's a problem.Although the city guards will guarantee that these idlers will make money to pay back the debts after the weather clears, but it seems unreliable. After the rainy season ends every year, a large part of the idlers will basically pat their asses and run away. They all either deliberately reneged on their debts, or found some worthless things as repayments.Of course, the innkeeper won't lose money in the end, and the person in charge of the city guard will pay a sum of compensation for it. After all, spending some money is better than making the city full of smog.
William stepped forward to interrupt the two guys who kept talking nonsense, and asked, "Is this where we want to live? It's too bad. Is there a better place to live?"
The innkeeper rolled his eyes and said, "The poor don't have the right to choose. It would be nice to have a shelter from the wind and rain. Do you still expect to find a king's palace to live in?"
William smiled slightly and said, "You're right, we still want to find a palace-like place to live. Because I'm not poor, on the contrary, I'm rich enough to buy a kingdom." William suddenly found that sometimes bragging It's actually a pretty cool thing.
"Are you rich? Are you really rich? Damn...Ah no! Thank you Holy Sandarkor (God of Travel and Exploration)! Finally a real guest came in the door! Sir, what do you need? I'm here It has the best guest room, the warmest bed quilt..." The innkeeper stared at William with surprise, to be more precise, at the two magic gold coins twirling in William's hand, his eyes like dead fish flickered. Inexplicable brilliance.
William lightly tossed the gold coin playfully, and then reached out to catch it. The two purple jade-like gold coins collided with each other and made a pleasant sound, which attracted the attention of everyone in the hotel lobby.William said while fiddling with gold coins: "We need a room big enough to accommodate five people, preferably with a suite; the room should be warm and dry enough, with more than two or three large carved beds , the quilt should be filled with silk and velvet, and lined with vanilla..."
"Are you satisfied with all these? If you can satisfy us, these two gold coins will be yours." William smiled and looked at the innkeeper with a slightly red face. No matter how you look at the smile, it feels a little arrogant.
The hotel owner Qiqi Ai said with a wry smile: "These requirements seem to be troublesome. Even if you search all over Xikangbu, you can't find such a luxurious hotel. What you are looking for is indeed the king's palace."
As soon as William received the gold coins, he raised his voice and said: "No? If you don't have one, then forget it. Well, make the best room here and prepare a big bathtub. We need a hot bath. Alas! It seems that this We can only make do with it for a few days.”
The innkeeper hurriedly agreed: "Please rest assured, I, Old Cobis, will try my best to satisfy all your requests." He jumped out of the wine cabinet lightly, and trotted like a nimble thief to guide William to the room, and at the same time he spoke "Is there anything else you need?" he asked.
William paused and said, "By the way, do you have anything to eat here?"
The innkeeper replied cautiously: "Only dry bread and pickle soup, as well as some not-so-fresh cheese and low-quality ale."
William shook his head and said: "These are terrible. No matter what method you use, even if you go out and sell them, freshly baked sweet bread for 20 people, no less than [-] pounds of cooked venison or beef, fresh Cheese cheese, special sweet berries... In short, as long as it is a unique delicacy in Xikangbu, it is best to prepare it after we take a shower."
Old Cobbs, the innkeeper, said with a mournful face: "First... sir, these things you mentioned are very expensive. My hotel is so poor that it is almost impossible to get rid of it. You... can you give me a part of the remuneration in advance, Otherwise I wouldn't be able to get these..."
A very impatient look appeared on William's face, and he threw two gold coins over casually, and the innkeeper, Old Cobbs, hurriedly caught them.William said with a sullen face: "I don't care how much you need to spend to buy those things. These two ancient magic coins should be enough, and I won't bother with the rest. But the things I ordered must be prepared as soon as possible." Said Regardless of the others, William led the whole family to the room designated by Old Cobbs.
The innkeeper, Old Cobbs, pointed at the three of them and asked, "Sir! Are these three with you?"
William snorted without looking back: "No! We have nothing to do with these 'country folks' at all. If you want to entertain them, you'd better hurry up. I don't want to wait for a long time hungry."

Everyone in the hall stared dumbfounded at William and the five, and watched them disappear into the corridor of the hall door under the guidance of the old Cobbs. The Han people talked to each other about everything just now:
"Is that real? Is that really Netherese magic gold?"
"It's absolutely true! It's definitely the most beautiful sound I've ever heard, and I saw it several years ago in the hands of a group of powerful adventurers from afar..."
"Damn it! If only I could have such a magic gold coin, I'm tired of rotten black bread and bitter vegetable and salty soup..."
"Old Cobbs really got rich this time, I hope he can improve our breakfast... Can you guys guess where those people came from?"
"I'll bet on my black bread for dinner that the red-haired young man is of noble royal blood, and hails from an ancient kingdom. Look at the things he asks for, even the most luxurious king these days Not so fancy. A silk velvet quilt, with a nice smelling herb lining... My God! The best quilt I've ever had in my life was just linen and wool..."
"Forget it! You can build quilts filled with broken canvas and straw in your life, and linen stuffed with wool?"
"I touched it once, and as long as I can find a treasure in the ancient ruins..."
The idlers in the lobby of the hotel talked about the mysterious William family. Some said that William was the prince of an ancient family, and some said that the two little girls were princesses who had inherited a large sum of money. Inheritance, and some said that they found a tempting ancient treasure, in short, they said it all, and everyone's eyes were full of envy, desire, or jealousy.Of course they would not know that without William's rebirth, the life of the red-haired siblings would probably be similar to theirs.
Harvey, who hadn't left yet, noticed that there was a playful smile on the corner of Selyse's mouth who entered the city with William, as if she had thought of something funny.
After leading William to the room, Old Cobbs, the hotel owner, hurried back to the lobby, shouting loudly at the noisy idlers: "Don't just stay here, you should eat free bread for so many days. Give me old Cobbs some work! Mighty! Take two to boil the water, the guests need hot showers, and the rest pack up and follow me out shopping. It's been a terrible season! Hope... ..."
Old Cobbis was muttering loudly, but a soft woman's voice rang out, but it was Celis who was left out in the cold. This beautiful woman pretended to be upset and said: "We are also guests, why is no one here?" Waiters, you guys are too rude!"
In fact, old Cobbis did not forget the last three guests. After assigning tasks to these "free eaters" guys, he ran to Selyse very attentively and asked, "Aha! She is as beautiful as a goddess." Ma'am, may I help you?"
Celis said with a smile: "I want to meet the requirements of the 'prince' from the 'country', a spacious and clean big room, a large carved bed, a satin velvet quilt, vanilla decoration, and sprinkles. Petal hot tub."
Old Cobbs asked with a strange face: "Do you only want a guest room?"
"Of course there is only one room. How can I live in two rooms by myself..." Selyse suddenly realized, she looked back at the fair-faced Dennis and the coachman Sandro, snorted coquettishly, and said sullenly : "Hey, the last two downcasts have nothing to do with me. What kind of eyes do you have? I am a very powerful female adventurer! Be careful, I will beat you."
An idler who hadn't left yet said with a smile on his face, "Hey! Pretty girl, are you really good? Oh, my waist seems to be a little itchy, can you give me a couple of slaps..." The other idlers Suddenly burst into laughter.
Harvey, the city guard, subconsciously covered his ugly face. These damned bastards dared to molest this female evil star. They really didn't know what to do.Although he has never seen the "Bloody Mandala" Seris Manda Modoc before, Harvey has already guessed the identity of Seris based on his experience. He knows this shrew from Waterdeep City very well. Her amazing deeds, killing without blinking an eye, can no longer describe her ferocity.
However, Celis played herself well as a fledgling rookie adventurer, a little girl who was full of longing for the legendary adventure but knew nothing about reality. Angry and half shy, he spat at the idlers and waved his fists. This cute gesture made the men laugh again and again.
Harvey really can't stand it anymore, this female villain is too damn good at acting, no wonder so many big shots fall into her hands, Harvey is afraid that he will go crazy if he stays here any longer, even if If he is not crazy, he may have nightmares at night, so he can only run away.As for those people who don't know how to live or die, I hope the gods can bless them, Harvey is too lazy to care about it, after all, the rainy season is about to pass, and they will leave sooner or later.
Only the little boy Daniel and the coachman Sandro were the most miserable. They never thought that Celis would cross the river and demolish the bridge at this time, and kicked them away.Sandro is better. Although the carriage is gone, he still has some savings, but Daniel doesn't have a single silver coin. His share of the robbery was redeemed, and all the money spent on the way was Celis' share. .
Old Cobbs arranged a place for Celis as well, then turned around and asked the two unlucky guys with a smile, "Would you both like to come to the same room?"
Sandro clenched his purse tightly, and whispered a little timidly: "No, just give me the cheapest one."
Daniel, who was penniless, hurriedly said, "Mr. Sandro and I are together."
Unexpectedly, the coachman turned his face and said: "Who is with you! Boss, I have nothing to do with this kid. I only pay the rent for myself."
Daniel said with a sad face: "Mr. Sandro, I don't have any money on me, how can you..."
Sandro said arrogantly: "I, Sandro, am just a poor coachman, but I can't afford to support you, the 'future archmage'. Haha! A poor ghost with no money deserves to sleep in a stable."
The two of them were talking, when a clear girl's voice suddenly came from the corridor of the guest room, it was Misha'er's voice, and the little girl shouted excitedly as she walked: "Mr. But Misha'er's first commission, don't let it go!"
Sandro clutched his purse and shouted loudly: "What commission do you want? My carriage has been destroyed, and I can't find a place to justify it. I have no money!"
Misha'er's small face froze, and a pair of beautiful bright eyes began to fill with mist. She turned her mouth and said loudly: "Feniya, this guy is a reckless guy! He's scaring Misha'er!" With the sound of "dong dong dong" footsteps, the giant Phinea walked out of the corridor with a cold face, stepped forward and grabbed Sandro by the neck, and easily lifted him up.Then he turned the coachman upside down, grabbed his legs and shook them for a while.
With the sound of splashing, money bags, broken coins, all kinds of strange gadgets, small daggers... were scattered all over the floor.Smiling, Misha ran to the driver's purse and opened it to reveal a small pile of red, green and green gems. Misha counted the gems with her little finger and said to herself, "Oh, brother! I didn't say how much I should take, what should I do? Hehe, it's the first time to collect the bill anyway, so I just take it away. But what should I do if there is not enough? My brother will definitely blame Misha for not even paying for the first time. It’s not even good to collect bills.”
The little girl rolled her eyes a few times, then stared at the broken coins on the ground, carefully picked them up one by one and put them into her purse, and took a delicate gadget that fell on the ground, holding it in her palm Bian'er ran to offer treasures to William, and shouted as he ran, "William, Misha'er is very serious about collecting the bill, and she didn't even leave a single silver for Mr. Coachman..."
Seeing the little girl running away, Phineya threw the coachman on the ground like garbage, showed a demonstrative smile, turned around and strode after her.Only Sandro was left lying on the ground crying: "My gem! My money! You gangsters, thugs..." The coachman cried and quickly picked up the odds and ends on the ground without a trace. The movement was so fast that it was almost unnoticeable.
Daniel next to him gloated and sneered: "Haha! Mr. Sandro, I never thought you would become a penniless pauper. The world is changing so fast. Welcome to join the ranks of the poor."
"Shut up! Daniel, I, Sandro, don't have the time to laugh at your poor little boy, you bloody bastard!" The coachman got up from the floor, and then gave Daniel a hard punch in the face.Daniel, who was caught off guard, was directly beaten up, and fell to the ground with a scream, but he immediately got up from the ground again, screaming and rushing towards Sandro...
Old Cobbs quickly stepped forward to pull the two away, and shouted angrily: "Stop! You two damn bastards, if you want to fight, go to the street outside, and don't do it in my hotel, otherwise I don't mind beating you up. Rotten your noses."
In the largest and most spacious guest room, William carefully inspected Misha’s “treasure offering”—an exquisite composite small metal pin. William was sure that this little thing must have a very special function, such as dismantling a precision structure.William sneered and said: "Sure enough, as I expected, this so-called coachman is not a simple character, but it's best to pray that he doesn't fall into my hands."
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
"You already knew that the coachman had a problem?" Yasuna asked curiously. She felt that she couldn't understand William more and more. The little man in front of him seemed to be buried with infinite secrets. His strength, His character, his resourcefulness, his beliefs... Yasuna didn't find that Sandro had a problem, but William did. This is a very hurtful problem. Yasuna really wants to know what happened to William. How to find the flaw.
William fiddled with the gadgets in his hands a few times, and sighed slightly: "That's right! From the very beginning, I had my doubts. Although he hid himself very well, it was almost flawless, but as far as a groom is concerned, he The qi and blood in his body are a bit too strong, even the thorny rose on the carriage is a bit inferior, do you think there is a problem with this?"
Yasuna couldn't help being at a loss, she scratched her blue hair, and asked with interest: "You often talk about 'Qi and blood', what exactly is Qi and blood?"
William thought about how to explain the word "qi and blood", then paused and said: "You can take it as vitality. The stronger a life's physical energy is, the greater its vitality and strength will be. The more powerful you are." Of course, William also understands that what he said is not completely absolute, and there are also situations where the blood is strong but the combat power is weak, such as some large herbivores.
"Life vitality?" Yasuna's eyes narrowed, showing a puzzled expression, "Then how do you sense the vitality? Why can't I feel it?"
William smiled and did not explain, but turned his gaze to Misha. The little girl was sitting on the big bed with Miluna and playing with the gemstones collected from "debt collection". All kinds of gemstones of extraordinary value, playing the game of "Flipping Stones" with great interest.There is already half a cat the size of a dirt dog squatting on the side looking at the colorful gems, very curious, stretching out its soft paws from time to time to try to fiddle with it, this little thing is definitely a foodie, completely I forgot the misery of being "abused" by the little girl...
On the main street of West Combe, the innkeeper Old Cobbs is leading a group of idlers to make a big purchase, and the bakery and butcher shop are one of their destinations.Bakeries are generally not located in outer cities, although their main customers are merchants and travelers from other places, as well as hotels and taverns that serve them.Except for singles or lazy women, local residents rarely visit the bakery, so the business of the bakery is not very good during this season.
"Dom! Get me two dozen (24) of prime toast and 40 of plain bread ASAP before I get back from Gilkin's butcher's. I'll leave Signeri here Wait, don't stand still, if you delay your work, wait until I come back and kick your ass!" After entering the bakery, old Cobbs grabbed a few strings of Taoer coins and threw them on the baker's chopping board, loudly Greeting.Taoer coins are a kind of copper coins that are only circulated in Waterdeep City and a few friendly cities around it. This brass square currency has a hole in the middle, which can be strung together with ropes or other things.Of course, once it leaves the range of Waterdeep City and its allied cities, this currency is worthless.
Not long ago, old Cobbis exchanged a magic gold coin for fifty taurs (a string of a hundred taurs) from the city tax officer. In fact, he didn't really want to exchange it, because if the time changed , Old Cobbis can even exchange at least a hundred strings of Taoer or even more from underground money dealers.
Here I have to talk about the business customs in the Sword Coast region. In theory, these cities do not charge city entry taxes, of course, there are one or two greedy exceptions, such as Luskan.But when a caravan enters a city, according to the number of people in the caravan, the leader of the caravan must exchange a certain amount of local currency with the city tax official.In fact, this is an extremely cheating regulation, why do you say that?For example, buying a pound of gold in the gold and silver shop in Waterdeep City requires fifty strings of taur, but if you take a pound of gold to the tax officer, you can only exchange it for a maximum of thirty strings of taur, and This exchange is one-way (that is to say, you can only exchange taur with gold at the tax official, but you cannot exchange taur with gold).
Especially when Taoer coins could only be used within the scope of Waterdeep City in the early days, only the official currency exchange at the tax official was legal, and any private exchange was illegal. A pile of scrap copper and rotten iron forced people to consume the last Taoer in this city.As a result, almost half of the wealth of many foreign businessmen who did not know the inside information disappeared virtually as soon as they entered the city.
This is an extremely despicable method of plundering wealth. Naturally, the lords of other cities would not allow it to be exploited, so they began to follow suit and took revenge on Waterdeep City.
In the early days of the development of Waterdeep City, the leaders of the city used the influence of the Temple of the Goddess of Commerce to negotiate with the city lords from all over the world on a recognized currency - the Hong Kong Moon Dollar, which is a currency doped with precious platinum. Mithril is used as the main body, and a flat crescent-shaped currency with special patterns inlaid with amber gold. This currency is attached with a little magic energy (with anti-counterfeiting function), also known as Magic Xun currency, and a Hong Kong dollar is called a currency. Mason.
Because of the unique status of Waterdeep City, almost most of these magic coins flowed to this glorious city.Later, in order to retaliate against Waterdeep City, the lords from all over the world who suffered losses in commercial trade deliberately lowered the value of mana coins. to a little over half a pound.Manason is different from Netheril magic gold coins. Although Manason is made of more expensive materials, it is only a general equivalent with a higher value; while Netheril magic gold coins can not only be used as general equivalents, but also extremely valuable spells media and consumables.
Since Magic Xun is only used in the settlement of transactions in different places, it does not have much impact on the daily life of ordinary people in cities other than Waterdeep City. Only some local merchants and Waterdeep City, where Magic Xun is rampant, are damaged. , this primitive financial war almost destroyed the hundreds of years of development of Waterdeep City. Although the city lords of Waterdeep City finally quelled the disaster, the vitality of the entire Glory City was severely damaged, and most of the accumulated wealth was wiped out.
Nowadays, Waterdeep City and its allied cities (including West Combe) no longer prohibit currency transactions between private individuals, but still retain this function of tax officer, and exchange a certain amount of currency as the city's entry tax.Of course, private coinage, a crime that is almost equivalent to blasphemy, is untouchable. Only the temple of Woking, the goddess of commerce and wealth, is eligible to mint coins.
You ask why William and his group were not charged a city tax (forcibly exchanged for Taur) when they entered the city?Ha, didn't you see that old Cobbs just finished trading with the tax official, otherwise you think why he traded with the tax official when his wealth shrank, instead of going to a coin smuggler with a better exchange rate.
When the idlers under the old Cobbs on the street talked about William's wealth and generosity without restraint, some guys with extremely sensitive senses realized that a rich fat sheep had entered West Combe, so those lurking wolves They began to move after hearing the wind.
It didn't take long for old Cobbis to notice some furtive figures starting to appear around them, and the hotel owner easily recognized the identities of these figures.They have spies from gangsters, believers from various churches, servants from the nobles... Old Kobis wants to curse: these sons of bitches!The nose is really good!
Although the hotel owner knew what the purpose of these sneaky people was, he knew that he could do nothing, because he was just a small hotel owner and couldn't afford to offend such greedy jackals.
There are nearly [-] people in Xikangbu. Except for a small number of people engaged in handicrafts, commerce and service industries, most of the civilians are ordinary people engaged in farming, logging, fishing and hunting. Under normal circumstances, most of them work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Relying on hard work to support the development of the entire city, and barely maintain their own food and clothing.But there are also a handful of restless individuals who risk death and dismemberment every day, if not every moment, betting their lives for potentially huge rewards.
Exploration, violence, killing, robbery, death, this is not a beautiful world. Compared with years of hard work, there are too many people who want to reach the sky in one step, obtain countless wealth at once, and live a relaxed life like aristocrats And luxury living.The same is true for human beings who worship and believe in gods. They believe that with the help of the power and power of gods, they can make themselves superior to others, and even transcend the sufferings of ordinary people to become omnipotent saints.
There are no noble and desireless people here (on the contrary, if a person fanatically believes in a certain god, it means that he has incalculable ambitions and desires). At the same time, they also harbored hatred and hatred, which was why many great mages were keen to build their own mage towers.
(Since the goddess of magic fell once, the reborn Mystra has been unable to completely control the entire magic network like the first generation of goddess of magic. In the following thousands of years, it is no longer as stable as before. There have been countless turbulences in the magical network of the world, and of course there were a few times that Mystra deliberately did it. And every time at this time, there are always some archmages and other spellcasters who have lost their power and are hated or hated by those who humiliated, bullied, and even slaughtered, only the lucky ones protected by a powerful mage tower survived.)

In the continuous drizzle, William stood in front of the window of the hotel attic, quietly watching the rain outside the window, feeling the splendor of the city. Those who have never experienced loneliness in the wilderness will never understand the value of a prosperous society. place.
Old Cobbis led the group of loafers, clattering through the rain in their cloaks, and they brought back the bread and beef they had just bought.
In the room, the laughter of the little girls could be heard. They were enjoying the joy of taking a hot bath. There is nothing more pleasant than taking a comfortable hot bath on a rainy day.Misha and Miluna stood in the large bathtub, the height of the bathtub was almost over their noses, and Phinya next to her was carrying a large wooden bucket filled with hot water to refill it, the warm water flowed on both sides. Under the wanton fiddle of the little girl, she was swinging non-stop.
William listened silently, the sound of the wind, the sound of the rain, the laughter of the little girls, and from time to time he could hear the distraught hotel owner scolding the loafer for stealing bread.William could even hear the whispers of those idlers, discussing with each other the superb taste of the newly bought bread and the tempting aroma of wheat, discussing and guessing the identity of William and his group and their luxury.
Unknowingly, William suddenly felt that his soul seemed to be sublimated, and all his senses became more acute. His eyes could see farther, his ears could hear finer, his nose had a more sensitive sense of smell, and his limbs could feel more sensitive. more delicate.It seemed that there were waves stirring in his heart, making a sound of "crashing". The sound did not come from the outside, but came from within William's body. William knew that it was the sound of blood rushing through his veins, accompanied by every strong sound. The heartbeat and the blood spread rapidly to all parts of the body like a torrent of lasing, which is the pulse of life.
William carefully savored every change in his body. He knew that this was a breakthrough in his control over the body, and he had reached a new height. This was a brand new experience that he had never experienced in his previous life.William understands that as long as he can completely absorb and digest this experience, he can finally gather his heart, mind, shape, essence, energy, and spirit in one place, like a ball, which is intangible. In terms of terminology, it is to form the golden elixir avenue.
Of course, the so-called golden elixir here does not mean that the body is really formed into a big bead, but that the essence, energy, and spirit are introverted to form a tact, the sharpness is sharpened and the fingers are soft, and it is an artistic conception of being able to behave in the world, walking, sitting, lying, and returning to nature with ease. A state of mind, the apex of temperament.This kind of state of mind, this kind of understanding, theoretically speaking, can prolong life and even live forever.
At this time, William finally understood that his failure to attack Baodan in his previous life was inevitable. Not to mention the hidden dangers of old injuries all over his body, his mood and perception alone were far behind.William is sure that with the current conditions, he will be able to successfully cross the hurdle of Baodan in the future, because he already has ten times or a hundred times more opportunities and fortune than his previous life.
Of course, in terms of martial arts cultivation, he is still far behind the boss at the peak of his previous life. This gap does not refer to absolute combat power. In terms of lethality, one of him is almost equal to ten selves in his previous life.Let's put it this way, if the limit of the human body is quantified to one hundred, most otaku are just useless scum with only five combat effectiveness. An excellent athlete's physical development level may be between twenty and thirty. William's last life His physical body has almost developed to the level of more than 60.00 or even close to [-]. [-] is a hurdle. After passing this hurdle, he is what people call a real fairy-level Baodan strongman on land. Now William's physical development level Only close to about [-]% of its own limit, maybe even less.Because of the effect of the blood of fire, William has not yet been able to estimate where his limit is, and now he is only roughly estimating it based on his physical strength.
Of course, what surprised William the most was the change in his sense of consciousness, or the eyes of his mind. Through a wall, he could clearly feel that Miluna, who was taking a bath next door, was half-immersing her little face in the water surface of the bathtub. Next, the little nose kept blowing bubbles, and Misha’er hugged the desperately struggling cat with a smirk on her face. The four little paws of the terrified little guy kept flapping in the hot water. slide.
"Brother, come and help me, the water is so warm!" After bullying Mao Maochong for a while, Misha'er finally realized her conscience and let go of the poor little thing, because compared to bullying Mao Maochong, little The girl is obviously more willing to let William take a bath for herself, and of course that comfortable massage after the bath.
Hearing the little girl's call, William glanced out of the window again. There were a few idle men with arms crossed looking at him at the corner of the street, their greedy eyes were very unfriendly.Seeing these unscrupulous guys, William made a throat-cutting gesture at the idlers, and retreated to the room with a sneer.
As soon as William entered the room, Misha immediately raised her little feet, her chin was on the outer edge of the bathtub, and she held up the small horned helmet with one small hand and threw it directly at William, shouting cheerfully: "William, help me hold it for a while!" Then Retracted into the bathtub and submerged the whole little head in the water.
It's a strange thing to say, since Aurel's divine power was devoured at the Spine of the World, the Horn of Cole has mutated. Except for William and Misha, no one else can directly touch the Horn of Cole. .
When the Horn of Cole was worn on the little girl's head, others could touch it at will, but once the horn helmet left Misha'er, no matter who touched it except William, they would suffer damage from the spiritual realm.If the horn of Cole leaves Misha'er's head, but no one touches it, then with the horned helmet as the origin, anyone who approaches within a radius of [-] yards will continue to suffer from some kind of mental raving shock .
William pinched Cole's corner with one hand, and stretched his other hand into the bathtub to test the water temperature. He felt that the water temperature was a bit low, so he said to Phinea: "Fineya, add more hot water, this water is a little warmer. It's getting colder." Phineya nodded, lifted the wooden bucket at her feet and poured some hot water into the bathtub.
Miluna moved her small head in front of William, pointed at her long hair with a little finger, and muttered "Yiyiyaya" a few times, William smiled slightly and said, "Would you like to rub and wash your hair?"
Miluna nodded repeatedly with a small smile on her face.
William clamped Cole's horn into the creaking hole, stretched out his hands and gently encased the little guy's hair with ten fingers, rubbing, scratching, combing, and rubbing gently, while Meluna shrank her little head into the water, comfortably Enjoying William's service, the little mouth happily spit bubbles.

After taking a hot bath, the two slightly tired little girls hid comfortably in the soft velvet (the fruit inner flesh of a tree unique to the central part of Faerun, which is similar in shape to cotton) , is an excellent quilt filler) on the bed of the quilt, the long-term wilderness life made them nostalgic for this warm home feeling.
William replaced the tub of hot water again, poured some medicinal herbs and strange liquid into it and stirred evenly. When the water in the entire tub turned a strange blue color, William took off his clothes and jumped into it naked. , and immerse yourself completely below the surface of the water.
A strange chill sticks to William's skin and penetrates into his body continuously, but William's skin turns fiery red, as if there is a flame burning in his body non-stop, and this is exactly what William has been thinking about for a long time. A small recipe came out.
The so-called people are weak when they are strong, and their talents are different. Everyone's natural talents are doomed, and various defects appear in the process of growth.It is said that an excellent old boxer can also be regarded as an excellent old doctor. This is not false at all. In order to heal his own hidden wounds, William put a lot of effort into medicine.What's more, even if there is no such hidden injury, if a warrior wants to achieve something, all kinds of popular and secret foods, tonics, medicines, and prescriptions for strengthening the body and strengthening the body are absolutely indispensable. People say that "poor literature and rich martial arts", martial arts is a large-scale physical activity, and ordinary eating alone cannot provide enough energy and nutrient consumption.
Although the types of animals and plants in Faerun are quite different from those in the previous world, there are still some similarities between the two. As long as you study carefully, you can always find similar substitutes for many medicinal materials in the previous life.Different from ordinary people's warming and tonifying, warriors use the medicine of tigers and wolves to fortify and strengthen the body, so that they can keep up with the consumption of the body. Of course, this is only a relatively early stage. The effect of yin and yang to strengthen the body, cultivate the essence and prolong life is the next thing for the great martial arts masters to consider.
To say that the people in the world who understand the medicinal properties of animals and plants the most, apart from the gods, the elves should be considered second to none. Don’t you see that most of the poisons and healing potions on the entire continent are invented by elves? Of course, some of the humans Apothecaries and witches among the few barbarians are not much different.However, in William's view, medicine in this world has actually gone astray. This is not because the people here are not smart enough, and the accumulation of civilization is incomparable to the short history of thousands of years in the previous life.
The reason is that there is magic in this world—the existence of arcane and divine arts. This kind of magical power can easily make people achieve the experience effect that William has accumulated through the experience of several generations in his previous life. Think about a [healing technique] ] will cure the serious illness in the patient, who is willing to spend several generations to study the elusive medicine.Of course, there are also some things that cannot be done by magic or are inconvenient to do for the time being, and need to be replaced by drugs, such as poisons, aphrodisiacs (Hellen is an excellent aphrodisiac preparation master), and other healing and antidotes.
William had previously inquired about the characteristics of some medicinal herbs from Elf and Hellen, the elfs. He himself had experimented with some plants that were similar to the plants in his previous life, as well as some special beast materials, such as the wasteland night snake. (a poisonous snake that likes nocturnal activities, very poisonous), snake gall, bone meal of jungle tigers, deer blood of spotted deer (a kind of magic deer born with natural magic talent)... Finally, William experimented with a more useful one. The main body of Fang Zi is the blood of frost giants. Although frost giants are creatures of the sub-cold system, their blood contains an inexplicable fire nature, but this fire nature is not the kind of strong and yang in William's body. Instead, it presents a feminine fire nature, which is a perfect match for William's fire bloodline characteristics.
The frost giant's blood has a strong response, so it needs to be supplemented with Lingming Seed, which is mainly used for stability and neutralization. Lingming Seed is the seed of a plant called Lingming Tree, which is often used as a stabilizer for various medicines. Many magic potions are able to maintain their efficacy because of the addition of the powder of Ling Mingzi.The snake gall of the wasteland night snake has excellent heat-clearing and detoxifying effects, which can effectively prevent the accumulation of fire and poison in William's body, and unblock the Qi channels and tendons. It is also an indispensable auxiliary medicine.Of course, there are other medicinal materials that can relax tendons and activate collaterals, reconcile yin and yang, cold and heat, and finally there is a plant that has the ability to inhibit the transformation of lycanthropes - belladonna. William suspects that this plant may be able to inhibit the mutation of body tissue cells and even genes He didn't want any unexpected changes in his body during the practice, such as the growth of scales, the growth of a single horn, or bone spurs.
The skin on William's body surface was vibrating non-stop at a range invisible to the naked eye, the pores opened and closed rapidly, and the blood power in the body was also constantly surging, and a trace of cold fire penetrated into the skin. Integrate into William's blood.The blood power burns more vigorously after merging with the Yin fire, but it is less violent and hot, and the warmth burns the flesh and blood, making the body more compact and firm.
As the pores of William's body opened and closed, traces of fire poison invisible to the naked eye were slowly discharged from the body. Of course, the so-called fire poison was not a real tangible poison, but fire that William's body had no time to absorb or could not absorb. Power.The elimination of fire poison caused the potion in the bathtub to gradually heat up, and the medicinal properties of the potion also gradually accelerated. It didn't take long for the blue potion to turn into slightly turbid water, and the water temperature was like boiling." "Googling" splashing, suddenly William jumped out of the bathtub like a fish out of water, the whole process was so calm that there was hardly any water waves.
