The Swordsman of Faerûn

……

William listened to the conversations of the guests in the hotel, picked out some information that he thought might be useful and kept it in his heart, and only went through some less important information in his brain.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In the eyes of the world, some bad changes have begun in this world, and many inexplicable omens make people uneasy.But none of this has anything to do with William, or in other words, there is no chemical reaction with his poor common sense of this world. In his eyes, nothing in this world is normal (compared with his mother world), and nothing is wrong. normal.

What William needs to do now—and what he wants to do is to take the whole family to shop, buy some necessary things, and digest the excess nutrition in the way.In Noisy Water City, you can buy many things that West Kumbu doesn't have, such as more luxurious camping tents and some useful potions.In addition, William also needs to prepare some writing ink, ink pens, paper and some books, because he has reached an agreement with Selyse, Selyse can temporarily join his team, but must temporarily take on the responsibility of teaching Misha and others. The work of human language and writing.

In the eyes of most people in Faerun, literacy is regarded as a very mysterious and extravagant skill, because it takes a lot of time and energy for the learner, but when facing those terrible monsters Little to no help, nowhere near as effective as days of flailing around with a pitchfork.Of course, there are exceptions for spellcasters who can use mysterious magic and some long-lived races (such as elves). Translating and reading the literature left over from ancient times is an important means for many spellcasters to study and master the lost arcana, while some elves and other lifespans are relatively long The race of people doesn't mind spending half a human's life to master those cumbersome and gorgeous symbols of civilization.

However, thanks to the blessings of his previous life, the phrase "knowledge is power" still holds a lot of weight in William's mind. He doesn't want his family to be rude "illiterate" all his life.Although Misha'er had studied elven script for a period of time with the consul of Mirabar, Ms. Santilla Xingyao, and the moon elf Elf, but the time was too short, and the little girl didn't pay much attention. What he has learned is really limited, and William has long thought of finding another teacher for her. Seeing that Selyse refuses to leave, he has no choice but to make do with "waste utilization".

The morning in Noisy Water City is so quiet, the light mist covers the green city, and the melodious morning bell on the city wall wakes up every lazy woman who is lying in bed. Send the used toilet to the street, otherwise their house will have to spend the whole day in the smell.The toilet collectors lead the thin old horses and pull the car full of stinky wooden barrels to the out of the city, while the women who return home start to prepare the family's breakfast and wake up the men and children who are still in bed.

It's just that the women in Noisy Water City are very annoyed today. The bison came from nowhere in the early morning, and they kept barking before dawn, disturbing people's dreams.

William walked on a small street with a little stench in the quietness. He just finished his morning practice by the river——【Reckless Bull Roar】, 【Reckless Bull Roar】is the essence of 【Reckless Bull Strength】, this It is a supreme sound technique that vibrates into the body with sound, cleanses the bone marrow, refines the blood and stores it. It is also known as the three major secret arts of Taoism together with [Jade Toad Cry] and [Tiger Roar Gong] (the Tiger Roar Gong is passed down) After entering Buddhism, he changed his face and became a Buddhist secret technique [Tianlong Zen Singing], and the so-called [Lion's Roar] is actually the killer move of sound skills in [Tiger Roaring Skill] [Tiger Roaring Mountain and River]), which is William breaking through the peak and crossing the peak. The key to the holy boundary.

There are many taboos when practicing this kind of Yingong method. Many warriors even have to bathe in burning (sandalwood) incense before each practice, calmly adjust their state to the best state, and then start to practice. The practice time and The frequency also varies from person to person and time, as short as once every two or three days, and as long as ten days and a half months, and you must also pay attention to grasping the entry step by step.Gein entered the body with sound waves, stimulating the viscera and bone marrow to change, thinking about how delicate the viscera and bone marrow are, how can it be done overnight, every time stimulation takes a long time to adapt and buffer, and the human body can adapt to it. Work again.

Originally, what William took should be regarded as the way of entering Taoism with a sword. In the words of the Xian family, it belongs to "tool repair", a sword master, and a sword weapon.Legend has it that this lineage of "Qi Xiu" also had its own secret technique - [Ming Jian Jue], which also uses sound skills to enter the body, and uses the vibration and resonance of the sword weapon to stimulate the body's potential potential.It's just that this road is more difficult to walk. One requires the sword to be compatible with people, and has extremely high requirements on the material and spirituality of the sword. It is hard to find a suitable sword; After all, utensils are foreign objects, and there is always a difference between them and the human body. After all, they are not comparable to "body repairers".What's more, [Mingjian Jue] has been lost for a long time, and even if it hadn't been lost, William would not be able to get in touch with it in his previous life. In fact, he didn't know such a thing existed at all.

It is a kind of luck that William was able to snatch the [Rang Niu Jin] in his last life. It is precisely by relying on this set of secret techniques that he broke through the shackles and achieved a very high level.But this does not mean that everything will be fine. William has always been facing the biggest problem, that is, almost all of his kung fu has been practiced by himself, lacking the guidance of a real experienced master. Practicing to the extreme of the peak of Huajin, whether it is aptitude, understanding or luck, it can be called extraordinary.

Every time before practicing [Reckless Bull Roar], William would hold the knife and sit quietly, using the spirituality of the knife to cleanse his mind, so as to achieve a state of unity of mind and spirit.Of course, what helped William the most was his extraordinary spiritual power. The "inner vision" ability obtained from several mutations allowed William to clearly perceive his own changes.

After returning to the hotel, William woke up the whole family from the bed (of course, Phinya still slept on the floor, after all, few hotels would consider the problem of giant tenants), and then urged them to wash their faces and chew their teeth ( A long time ago, William found a sac-shaped plant that can be used to clean the mouth and teeth), and rinse the mouth.

After drinking a bowl of bubbly milk lumps (a local special diet in which shredded cheese is sprinkled in fresh milk, topped with some honey and jam and stirred well), William and his family of four walked out of the hotel to start morning exercises before breakfast. Of course, this morning exercise was mainly for William to guide and urge Mi Shaer to practice some boxing systematically, and Miluna next to him also followed suit to join in the fun.With the continuous understanding and understanding of this world, William has decided not to continue to indulge Misha, and he has begun to be strict with the little girl.

Along the banks of the Guangyao River, some waterfowls were dressing up for their reflections in the river. Misha'er was shouting while fisting, and behind her, Miluna was gesticulating in the same way. Not far away, Phinya was waving the Thunder Frost and practicing the ax technique over and over again. For some reason, the lightning power on the Thunder Frost seemed to have disappeared, leaving only a little chill from the cold star iron.

William looked at it indifferently, looking at the limpid river, there were several carriages parked on the bank of the river in the distance, and the carriages were pulling...toilets?William's complexion couldn't help but stagnate, and he felt a little nervous in his heart, why do you think?The reason is very simple. A few days ago, on the way from West Kangbu to Noisy Water City, William’s family used the water in Guangyao River for cooking and bathing... At that time, William still lamented the beauty of the world, but now he sees People in Noisy Water City wash their toilets in the river, which makes him feel so embarrassed...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Although William is not the kind of psychopathic clean freak, seeing people in this city brushing toilets in the river where he once drank water, he really felt a little uncomfortable.He looked at the rolling river with a gloomy face, and couldn't help saying a curse in his heart: "Throw away his mother (four times)!"

Misha'er, who was doing a swallow-shaped fist, noticed that William had a different look, so she stopped her fist and asked, "Brother, what are you looking at?"

William withdrew his eyes and pretended to be angry: "Continue to punch you! Do you want to be lazy?" Misha stuck out her little tongue, and then continued to fight the twelve-shaped fist that was just interrupted.William could tell at a glance that this little girl didn't put her heart into punching at all, she was not as good as Miluna on the side, he sighed and said: "Okay, stop! You can't do anything like this, even if you practice for a lifetime It can be regarded as a show of strength. I have said it countless times, to immerse yourself in boxing..." William didn't know if he had repeated these words ten or twenty times, or maybe more, he couldn't remember clearly.

In the end, William gave up "preaching", saying that a loving mother is a loser, and a brother who spoils his sister too much is obviously very scratchy.In William's call to greet Phinya, an unpleasant morning exercise was finally over. When they returned to the hotel, the halfling Jess had already finished the first of the seven meals a day—— Two loaves of buttered bread.Selyse, who had also groomed already, was preparing for her first cultural lesson for the little girls.

But before the little ones start studying, they have to fill their stomachs first. For the William family (especially the three adults), a normal breakfast must have a lot of meat.Selyse looked at William's family with feigned disdain, because their eating habits were really unsightly, and Phinya seemed to never learn the word "elegant" at the table, large pieces of cooked meat Being caught by her and devoured like a storm, Yasuna's eating appearance is not much better than Finia's. After all, her essence is still a giant, and her appetite will never be reduced due to the effectiveness of magic.The two little girls may think that the way of eating recklessly and gluttonously is very stylish, and they also pretend to be rough, but they have small mouths and tender mouths, which is quite funny.

Only William's eating style can be considered elegant, but the speed of eating is not necessarily slower than the two big stomach women. The cooked meat on the plate is cut into small pieces of moderate size by him with a knife, and they are delivered to the mouth one by one. In a few strokes, the steel-hard teeth crushed and swallowed it.William could almost clearly feel that the minced meat was quickly digested, decomposed, and absorbed in his stomach like ice and snow roasted by fire, and turned into energy and nourishment for all parts of his body. Like ordinary people, even the entire digestive system is surprisingly powerful.Sometimes William even suspects that his strong stomach qi seems to be able to digest even steel. Of course, this is just William's illusion, but if he does not consciously suppress the expansion of his stomach qi, stomach bleeding or stomach ulcers are likely to be caused by practicing Qigong. It is also very possible that in William's previous life, there were many Lianjiazi whose stomach qi was not well adjusted, and had to swallow some hard objects such as smooth pebbles or glass balls to suppress the excessive stomach qi).

As the new character teacher, Selyse felt that she was obliged to correct the indecent eating habits of the two little girls. She coughed twice, and said with a straight face pretending to be serious: "Misha, Miluna !As the little ladies of the future, you should learn to eat gracefully like an elf, instead of overeating rudely like a barbarian's wife..." Selyse looked at the two little girls from the corner of her eyes while preaching For the others, Finia was completely unaware of her sarcastic words, which were almost directly slapped in the face, and they were still engrossed in the gluttony of meat. Yasuna raised her head and gave Celis a cold look, but she didn't He made a sound, then lowered his head and continued to eat, but the way he ate was more elegant.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Selyse became more courageous. She turned her head to William and asked with a smile: "Mr. So rude like a wild girl?"

William thinks that it is not a bad thing for Misha and Miluna to learn the etiquette of human society, but he is not willing to force the two little guys to do such things that seem to kill the children's personality. He laughed aloud and said, "Well, what you said also makes sense, so let them learn some necessary etiquette about human society, just don't force it too much..."

After getting some vague affirmation from William, Selyse immediately entered the role. She sat opposite the two little guys, looking very solemn and dignified, holding a knife in one hand and a fork in the other and said: "You two little guys Take a good look! The etiquette when eating, first of all, you must sit upright, wrap the napkin around your chest at a flat angle, hold the fork with three fingers in your left hand, drag the knife in your right hand, and relax your arms..." Selyse talked endlessly How an elegant lady should sit and stand when eating, how to break down food with a knife and fork, how to eat...etc.Well, I have to say that this dining etiquette is a cumbersome and fucking rule, and only boring guys like human nobles and elves will pay attention to it.

Evidently, etiquette teaching was not an interesting thing in the eyes of the two little girls. They were already full and fiddled with the leftover meat on the dinner plate.Like a stern court lady, Selyse said coldly: "Ladies of the future! You...Miluna, throwing leftover meals on the ground is not something a young lady should do... Damn it! Jace! Don't lure my students by hiding under the table, I remember you just finished your brioche breakfast!"

The halfling Jess got out from under the dining table, he was still munching on a large piece of rib meat in his mouth, the fat and tender gravy smeared his lips shiny, Jess swallowed the piece of meat with great effort, Some proudly argued: "You should know, big lady! A qualified halfling has to eat at least ten meals a day, and these delicious ribs are just my second meal today..."

"But you are hindering the etiquette education of me and the two girls, you gluttonous short dwarf!" Selyse criticized harshly, and anyone could see that she was trying to prove to William that she was a Qualified teachers, but what does it matter, no one thinks it's a bad thing, William included.

It's just that for the two little girls, a strict teacher means the reduction or even the end of playtime, which makes them very unhappy.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

I have to say that Selyse is a good teacher, at least William thinks she is better than himself, because he really can't bear to be too strict with the two little guys. Of course, this does not mean that William is really such a benevolent woman , but he doesn't want to.

Not only the little girl, Yasuna and Finia also became the "students" of Celis, although they were also reluctant, but under William's insistence, the mother and daughter from the wild world I have to bite the bullet and get in touch with the mainstream civilization of this world.

There are many magical spells in this world, which can make even the most stupid illiterate understand and even appreciate the most cumbersome sentences and words, such as [Language Proficiency], [Writing Skill], etc., but many times these spells It is not necessarily effective, especially when reading some texts with power (such as some runes, texts with added magic protection, symbols with special meanings).

William also wants to learn other languages ​​and characters, but it seems that Selyse doesn't welcome him, because Selyse always talks about him when William is present, who knows the reason?William had no choice but to leave alone—oh!It shouldn't be considered "alone", because beside him is a "follower" like a little bean--halfling Jess.

"Mr. William, can you really defeat a troll and an ogre with your bare hands?...God! It's unbelievable...I think it's a lie, don't you?" Very wordy little guy, especially when such a little thing keeps surrounding you on the street as a "cock mother", you have to be careful not to step on him accidentally, because Jess always seems to be involuntary or Deliberately ran to William's feet, so that William had to change his footsteps to avoid the halfling.

William stopped the steps he was about to take again, because Jess ran up to his big feet again. If this foot really went out, William believed that this little bean would turn into a ball flying in mid-air human cannon.Impatiently, William grabbed Jess by the collar and lifted him up, so that this little man could look at him on an equal footing. William stared at the panicked eyes of Jess, who was constantly dancing his little arms and legs, and said every word. He said coldly: "Listen—little guy! Stop following me, or I won't mind kicking your little body away!"

Jess struggled a few times and then gave up. He was not confident that he could break free from the mighty strength of the strongest man among humans. The halfling showed a friendly smile and said loudly pretending to be cheerful: "My dear! My friend! This is not a good attitude to treat a partner, I think we can have a pleasant and legendary adventure, but I..."

William sneered and said, "I don't think we're partners! We've only known each other for a few days? You don't know me, and I don't know you either. I don't think you will have any good results if you follow me."

Jess smiled and said: "Don't be like this, Mr. William! As the most powerful warrior on this land, taking in a hardworking and kind halfling as a partner, you will find that this is a very wise choice in the future. You are a true Knight, yes, I know you very well!" (Knights and warriors are not the same thing, knights refer to morality, while warriors represent professions)

"The most powerful fighter on the land? You haven't seen me do it, how can you be sure that I am the strongest fighter on this land? Hehe! I don't want to accept this compliment!" William's smile was a little cold.

Jess said triumphantly: "Except for the gods, there is no one in this world who is more informed than halflings. My friends and I are very aware of your thrilling adventures, uh! I mean My halfling friends, we are united, sharing information, we are the best informers and spies in the world."

William said: "Since you know me well, you should know the situation I am facing. Do you want to follow me? Don't you worry that you will lose your life because of it?"

"Of course we know," said Jess, who was always trying to be more imposing for a little bean, but he finally told the truth, "but we don't think there's anything we can do to you and your family. Form troubles, no matter he is a mage, a monster or even a giant dragon. It is said that you even brought your family to slaughter a branch of the white dragon on the spine of the world, I can hardly imagine that is true..."

William shook his head with a smile and said: "Even so, I really can't think of any reason to let you, an outsider, join. You must know that compared to my family, you... can hardly help anyone during the battle. busy."

Jessby stroked his little hand and said: "No! Of course I can help you. I can provide you with many useful suggestions and collect necessary information and information. For example, now, you are going to cross the Great Desert of Ainuooke , I suggest that you prepare the necessary means of transportation now, whether camels, desert lizards or sand pack horses, you can’t cross that vast barren land on foot alone.”

William asked with some doubts: "Really? But the three kinds of desert mounts you mentioned don't seem to be common in Huan Shui City, and it seems that we have to pass through a town before entering the desert. I think it should be the most ideal place." ..."

Jess sneered and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't think so. The current Locke Town is a bit abnormal. It is difficult for ordinary people to get the supplies needed to cross the desert there, including mounts of course. But we can First buy some ordinary mounts in Noisy Water City, ponies or Roth beasts are fine. Near the lonely wilderness in the east of the Gray Wind Mountains, there is a small and small supply inn, which is the western starting point of the Ainuooke Great Desert. There we can exchange ordinary mounts with them for the necessary desert mounts. Remember! They only accept exchanges between mounts, not buying and selling."

Only accept mount exchanges instead of buying and selling?This is really a strange rule.William still decided to trust the halfling for the time being, and bought a few horses for emergency needs.The cart and horse shop is the place that sells the leg strength of mounts in the city of noise. Through the cart shop owner William, he knows that even if he wants to exchange mounts, there are rules. Camels can be exchanged with light horses or Roth beasts, and ponies can only be exchanged for sand. Pack horses, of course, if you think it’s a disadvantage to trade light horses for sand pack horses, there’s no objection. As for small mounts like desert lizards, they are specially prepared for small passengers like dwarves or halflings. A ibex or a riding hound would be a good trade-off.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

It is indeed a good choice to have a mount instead. William bought five Roth beasts and four ponies. Although the Roth beasts are not as fast as light horses, they are better in strength, docile temperament and easy to control, and the price is relatively cheap Cheap, and ponies are known for their stamina and are the best choice for draft horses.

"Oh! Damn bastard, put me down quickly! Put me down! William, help me—help me!" When William saw the mount that Jess had chosen, he was a little speechless. The son actually chose a majestic and sturdy hunting dog. This gray-black hunting dog is nearly four feet high at the shoulder, with slender and powerful limbs, sharp claws and well-developed canine teeth. A saddle made of leather and upholstery.Of course, there is nothing abnormal about these, the only abnormal thing is that Jess is not sitting on the saddle on the back of the big hunting dog, but is holding it in its mouth, but it is obvious that the big hunting dog is just biting Wearing Jace's clothes, he didn't mean to hurt the halfling.

William shook his head and asked with a smile, "Jess, the one you chose is not very friendly. I hope it won't eat you as a meal."

"Bad dog! Put me down quickly! William, don't laugh at me..." The halfling was almost pissed off, he struggled wildly, and finally broke free from the big mouth of the big hunting dog, and then slid out Run behind William.

Jess, who became angry and angry, pointed at the big dog and said angrily: "Bad dog! Master Jess has decided, you will be the first beast I tamed, wake up!" Then the halfling kicked it with his little short feet Touched William's heel, and said angrily: "William, it is very rude to laugh at other people's misfortunes. You should save me from that bad dog's mouth as soon as possible. She almost bit Broke my neck you know? That would suffocate me."

William stepped forward and patted the big hunting dog on the head. The big dog hummed a few times very docilely, wagged its tail and rubbed its head against his knee to show respect.William smiled and said, "Look, this big dog has been tamed and won't hurt you at all. Are halflings so timid?"

Jess laughed a few times pretending to be disdainful, and said stiffly: "Hmph! I just wanted to test whether you would rescue me in time when I was in danger. The result is really disappointing." The half-ling man said seriously again: "Don't look at this big hound looking docile now, when she has a knight on her back, she will become the most valiant fighter, and there is no one more powerful than this big dog. A reliable mount and companion."

The mount was still left in the carriage shop to be looked after by the clerk there, and then, at Jess's suggestion, William bought some things that might be useful on the journey, such as several pairs of locks and shackles, pitons, sewing Needles, whistles, etc., Jess even strongly urged William to buy a few holy emblems carved from oak at the entrance of the Temple of the Father of the Oak. It is said that they can be used to drive away unnatural evils. He didn't feel anything special about these wood carvings.

When William returned to the hotel, Selyse's lecture had come to an end, and Miluna was alone on the floor at the lobby entrance of the hotel, playing with cats and insects, while Yasuna was sitting on a chair not far away in a daze, but did not see her. Misha who was supposed to be with Meluna.William stepped forward and asked, "Yasuna, where's Misha?"

Yasuna said: "Misha's stomach is a little uncomfortable, she is in the room now, and Finya is with her."

William nodded and asked again: "Well, where is that Ms. Selyse?"

"She's out! That arrogant woman is really annoying. William, I don't think it's a good idea to follow her to learn the language of the elves. What can be solved with only a little [Language], why waste so much?" Great strength?" It seems that Yasuna is very resentful about learning "foreign languages", or she has become accustomed to "reading" with the help of magic.

William shook his head and said: "Waste of energy? Yasuna, only what you have mastered is the most reliable! Speaking of magic? Can it still be used in this situation now?" Yasuna was at a loss for words. It is becoming more and more unstable, and few people dare to use spells at will. Yasuna, who is almost inseparable from William's family, is in a better situation (she always thinks this is the horn of Cole on Misha's little head. ), but there will still be some spell instability from time to time.

William didn't expect Yasuna to suddenly become hardworking and studious, he just gave up after a little mention, and turned to look for Misha. Relatively speaking, William still cared more about the little girl.When William saw the little girl, Misha was horrified, as if she had encountered something terrible, and Finia was also terrified. Seeing William coming in, the half-giant said in panic : "William! Little Miss Sha... she bled a lot..."

Bleeding a lot?William did notice a faint smell of blood in the room, he stepped over to Misha'er's side in a few steps, supported the little girl and asked eagerly: "Misha'er, what happened? Tell me quickly! "

Misha'er seemed to be terrified, she said intermittently with tears in her eyes: "I... feel... my stomach hurts, and then... and then..." It took a lot of effort for William to understand that little What the girl said, but after listening to it, he murmured a little bit. The little girl is only 12 years old, so it's a little early for this kind of thing.

Mi Sha'er said disappointedly: "Brother, am I going to die?"

William smiled slightly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! It's a normal phenomenon, it means that my little Misha is starting to become a big girl." Then William slightly modified the knowledge about the physiological development of girls in his previous life. Then he explained it to Mi Sha'er.God is sorry, such things should be explained to the girls by the mother and other female elders, but now it is a bit embarrassing for a big man like William to teach Misha.

After William finished speaking, Misha'er's mood improved slightly, but she was still a little skeptical.William turned his head and said, "You should know about these things, Phinya, why don't you explain it clearly to Misha?"

Phinya asked confusedly: "Huh? 'Stomachache and bleeding' means that the girl has grown up? I don't know, am I still a child?"

William couldn't help being stunned, and asked, "What? Haven't you ever experienced this kind of thing before, and didn't your mother, Yasuna, tell you?"

Finia shook her head positively and said, "No! Mom never told me."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

William suddenly discovered that he had neglected many things that should have been paid attention to. For example, Finia had never had a "menstrual event" in more than a year, and the same was true for Yasuna.In contrast, during the months when William was "flesh" with Santilla's wife in Mirabar, the female consul always had a few inconvenient days every month (except for the month when she finally left).

In fact, this involves the physiological differences of the various races in Faerun.Since ancient times, the rulers of this land have been changing. Giant dragons, elves, giants, dwarves... Humans today have all had a glorious period of dominance, like giant dragons rampaging across the world. The Dragon Age (even the most remote planes can see the blood of the dragon is an example), the Bronze Age when giants can almost shake the gods, the Iron Age of the Dwarves, the crown splendor of the Elven Empire, etc., but these great Generations have all declined due to various natural and man-made disasters, and were eventually replaced by the latecomers.

Only humans can stand up again from the decaying ruins of Netheril's floating age, and they are about to become the masters of this land again. Others such as elves and dwarves are showing signs of decline, and giants are almost It has become synonymous with barbarism, one of the important reasons is the population of the ethnic group.Without sufficient population accumulation, the so-called inheritance of civilization, continuation and development of races is nothing more than a joke, and most of these declining races basically suffer from this.

If you compare them, you can easily find the difference. Taking female members of various races as the adult standard, giants and dwarves need about 50 years from birth to adulthood, and elves need at least 100 years. It only takes about 15 years.The difference is even more terrible is the reproductive cycle of adult females of various ethnic groups. If it is described in a more professional academic term, it is the ovulation cycle of female creatures. In this regard, human females have nothing to say, and the well-known 30-day cycle; Giants have a five-year cycle, which means that women of these two races have a chance to conceive once every five years. The time interval for the elves is longer, at least ten years (it is said that the dragons are more sad, females Dragons only get a chance to conceive once every 100 years, and only for a short time).

Comparing the children of humans, dwarves, and elves born at the same time, when the dwarf girl grows up to be able to have children, the human girl may already have a large group of children, and maybe even the third generation will crawl; When the elf girl is pregnant, there should be five or six more little meat piers in the blacksmith's shop in the dwarf's house to help pull the bellows. As for the human beings, they may have developed into a large family of hundreds of people.That's why many scholars say that the reason why human beings can occupy the most fertile land in Faerun is not because of their talents, but because of their ability to give birth.

Of course, in this land, it is not that there are no more fertile than humans. For example, orcs, the adult cycle of female orcs is shorter, even less than ten years, but the ovulation cycle is similar to that of humans, and the expansion rate of the population is faster than that of humans. To be scary, it is simply the biggest opponent of human beings in the Northland today.In fact, the orcs are not weak. They are not local aborigines, but foreign populations. It was just that when they came to Faerun, they were hit hard by the local forces of Faerun. There are three or two big cats and kittens, even the original civilization has been broken, and it has almost faded into a savage existence, poor baby!

William didn't know about these things. He didn't know whether Yasuna and the others' anomalies were normal. There are no ready-made things such as toilet paper and sanitary napkins, and William only knows a little about these women's common sense. After all, as a big man in his previous life, if he paid attention to these things all day long, he would become a pervert.

Of course, William understands the reason. To put it bluntly, the functions of these things are similar to those of baby diapers. They all require cleanliness and strong hygroscopicity. In addition, the convenience of use needs to be considered.

After William comforted Misha, he asked the owner of the hotel for a bucket of hot water for Misha to take a comfortable hot bath, while he ran around looking for materials suitable for the little girl.Just when William was devastated by this, Selyse came back from the outside.

"Ms. Selyse, please help me. Misha needs an experienced female elder to give her advice." Seeing that Selyse came back early, William breathed a sigh of relief. In matters concerning women, she must be more experienced than her own boss.

Selyse looked at the messy things on William's hands with some amusement, the unraveled quilts, the medical bandages sold at the Temple of Father Oak... She asked curiously: "William, what are you messing with?"

William was a little ashamed. He pushed the sundries in his hands aside and said with a dry smile, "It's nothing. Ms. Selyse, something happened to Misha. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Selyse took out a few vials from her body and handed them to William, saying, "Use this, drink it for your sister, and you can avoid those troubles."

William looked suspiciously at the small bottle in his hand. The bottle contained some dark green liquid, which looked like a medicinal liquid boiled with some kind of herb. He opened one of the bottles, brought it up to his nose and smelled it, and asked He asked, "What's in it?"

Celis smiled and replied, "'Shares' Secret Medicine', a very useful potion that can save female adventurers from monthly physical torture."

"Really? Thank you very much!" William didn't say anything, but silently put away the potions, and thanked him in a casual way.Of course, this is not to say that William believed in Celis so blindly. William said this just out of politeness. After all, someone rushed to help you. It's not a serious business to question people with a brain.

But before he figured out what these medicines were, their functions and side effects, William would never be so stupid as to give them to Misha.Before that, William was still using the odds and ends he had just obtained to make some kind of necessities for women. Compared to drinking unknown potions, he was more willing to believe in something more natural.

In fact, "Sha Ruisi's Secret Medicine" is really not a serious thing. This kind of potion made from a special plant has always been a necessity for "Nightingales". It can effectively suppress women's ovulation physiology The function, in layman's terms, is to make women no longer feel uncomfortable during those few days of each month. This is also favored by many women who make a living by taking risks. Get yourself in danger.

Xia Ruisi's secret medicine was originally a special biochemical poison developed by an elf pharmacist to deal with monsters with super reproductive ability. It can effectively ban their fertility, but later, for unknown reasons, this medicine was diluted After processing, after a makeover, it turned into a good medicine in the eyes of some female human adventurers.

Although William didn't know the origin of Xia Ruisi's secret medicine, he still didn't give up his plan to make a "foreign imitation sanitary napkin" for Misha'er. It's a good idea to take inexplicable potions.

It's just that when William finished the thing in his hands, it was a bit difficult to get it out, because it was too ugly. Even a beggar's ragged cotton trousers were more stylish than this handicraft made by William. Misha'er would never Accept such an ugly "loincloth", even if it was made by William himself.

William threw the things in his hands aside, and smiled wryly at himself: "It seems that I really have to find a way to improve my tailoring skills!"

Little Misha's "first" incident was but an episode in the fate of William's family.Of course, it is not appropriate to use the word "fate" to describe their future experience, because the fate has been changed, but no one knows whose fate has been changed.

A few days later, William's family left Noisy Water City, accompanied by not only Selyse and the halfling Jess, but also several caravans. It is said that Locke Town is not peaceful.The entire team is huge, with nearly a hundred people in size. Everyone rides a transport mount, most of which are ponies and roses, a small number of light horses, and even a few rare bighorn ibex.

The caravan originally departing from Noisy Water Town did not need to form such a huge team, but the situation in Locke Town has not been very good in recent years. I would rather trust the mysterious mage from the other side of the desert than the respected human retired miners or warriors, just to be able to more completely control the black road in and out of Ainuooke.

It is said that a group of soldiers in purple clothes has been allowed to be controlled by certain mages to inspect the passing business groups and collect high toll taxes. Swallowing, these bad examples made the merchants no longer willing to continue to use Locke Town as the last stop before entering the Great Desert of Ainuooke.

William and the others went upstream along the Guangyao River. The caravan was slowly advancing under the blazing sun at noon. Not far away was the roaring Guangyao River, and the roar of a thundering horse could be heard from a long distance away— ——That was the sound of Guangyao Waterfall, and it was this large waterfall that blocked the direct waterway connection between Locke Town and the downstream city.

When William saw the Guangyao Waterfall, he was stunned by this magical hydrological spectacle. The so-called thunderous sound of the waterfall, echoing from the mountain to the valley, is entirely a magical work of nature.There is a stream hanging and pounding, and Wan Lian flies into the sky. In his previous life, William has seen many world-renowned waterfalls, but none of them can cleanse people's hearts like Guangyao Waterfall.It may not have the elegance of Niagara Falls, the grandeur of Victoria Falls, or the twists and turns like Iguazu Falls, but Shining Falls has its own vitality and holiness, a radiant fantasy color.

Under the sunlight, the waterfall that flows down is like holy water that exudes holy light, turning into galloping horses and rushing down. In the midst of the thunder, he seized the fleeting food.

Facing this majestic natural creation, the caravan's livestock were in chaos. Some of them couldn't bear the vast natural power, some panicked and restless, and some collapsed on the ground timidly and wailed. The people took great pains to appease these animals. They didn't care about admiring the magnificence of Guangyao Waterfall, so they could only leave in embarrassment.

William really wanted to stop and feel the mystery and truth of nature, but other people refused to stay here. They hoped to set foot on the way home as soon as possible and share with their families with rich luggage.Moreover, crossing the desert is a very dangerous adventure. William's family must rely on these caravans, so he can only leave temporarily with regret.

It is already the end of summer, and all the plants are growing and accumulating as much as possible, whether it is the weeds under the feet, the bushes on the roadside, or the giant trees, they are all preparing for the autumn and winter in a few months. Grass and foliage made a thick camouflage around the dirt road, and no one knew how many voyeurs were hiding there, whether they were goblins, orcs, ogres, or other monsters.The dirt road in the wilderness is not very wide. Since all the carriages have been replaced with pack animals, the caravan of nearly a hundred people formed a long snake formation with two animals in a row, almost the length of the caravan. Most of the members were cautiously staring at the bushes around them. Even if this huge team could deter most of the robbers, no one could be sure if someone in a daze would suddenly jump out and give him a blow.

The long caravan trekked for five full days in the wilderness, and stopped every day before dusk to set up camp. The veterans were responsible for commanding the establishment of a relatively stable camp, and lighting a large pile of bonfires to illuminate the surroundings at night, and arranging enough manpower to keep vigil .Even so, there were still a few minor accidents. Three sentries were injured by crossbow arrows from the grass in the early morning, and two ponies were also killed.Of course, this was not a loss at all to this large caravan, but it just made everyone's nerves tense. No one wanted to have their throats cut by robbers in their sleep.

Different from the tense atmosphere of the companions around, William's family was not affected by this tense atmosphere. The laughter of the two little girls almost never stopped. They completely regarded this trip as their own back garden. Although it can't be called the level of domineering walking chickens and dogs, it is quite a bit like teasing halflings, "cats and cats", and occasionally a small horse race that is not very intense. The unscrupulous appearance still made the onlookers secretly slander.

Of course, it's not that no one directly raises objections. After all, most people are outlaws who are used to the life of licking blood with knives. After the limbs were broken by William, no one dared to take care of the family's "tricksters" anymore.
