The Swordsman of Faerûn

What makes most arcanists even more devastated is that since Minarita invented [Time Replication], he has never used this spell on other things except drinking.Every time he goes to the Warlock's Enemy, Minarita will perform drinking under the effect of [Time Copy] once in public.

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

The working principle of [Time Copy] is that the subject grabs yourself from a certain point in time in the future, and places your future self in a nearby position.Theoretically, your future self is just a possible self (the time flow is a vortex of infinite possibilities), however by capturing a future self at a point in time all possibilities are collapsed and possible futures become definite future.

Both you and your future self are able to carry out normal activities at this point in time.Your future self has all the resources you have at the time of the completion of the time copying spell.Obviously, since your future self is only a possibility, your resources are not depleted by anything that might happen at a future point in time (even if you die at another point in time).Likewise, you won't have any specific information about what happened at a future point in time.

Since your future self is still a part of the time flow, "he" consumes the time frequency together with you, then "he" misses the time interval of "his" own future.Since your future duplicate is also yourself, you also miss a time period of yourself.

Dealing with time streams is tricky business.The following is a summary of several consecutive time points:

The first point in time: You cast time duplication, your future self moves from the second point in time to the first point in time, and you can all move normally.

Second point in time: The future self who has just returned from this point in time to point one in time - which is now you - returns from this point in time to point one in time.Therefore, at this point in time, you do not exist (or in other words, you disappear within the interval contained in this point in time).

Third point in time: You rejoin the time stream.Your second-time-self takes place where the first-time-point ended and has the state it was at that time.Everything that your second-time self experienced in your first-time self is now a reality and recorded in your life trajectory.

In short, there are two "you" at the first point in time, and everything experienced by your duplicate body (that is, the self at the second point in time) is just an imprint of an independent existence.At the second time point, you and your duplicate body disappeared, that is to say, both "you" are vacant at the second time point.There is only one you at the third time point, and you have all the memories and experiences of the two "you" at the same time (but your second time point has been changed).

Of course, it can also be replaced with another explanation, [Time Copy Technique] allows you at this point in time to return to a certain point in the past, and exist at the same time as the past you. Intersection happens and has all your memories and experiences.And in the "now-time" you become blank, because the time has been changed.

[Time Replication] is great not because of its lethality or other functions, but because it represents the possibility of human beings' in-depth research on the time domain.Because [Time Replication] is considered to be a spell that truly changes the flow of time, even though its change has not reached the level that people expected, it still shocks all concerned beings.

Although the power of the time domain is attractive, it is a pity that there are very few people who can really understand and learn this legendary spell. However, Manalita refuses to teach it openly, and instead, every once in a while, it will be taught by the enemy of the warlock. Demonstrating this spell in public, as for whether others can learn something from it, they don't care at all.

Even in his previous life, William had seen some conjectures and deductions about going back to the past or the future through time and space. Although those hypotheses were countless, they revealed to people the meaning of being able to change time.After Tabari briefly introduced the [Time Copy Technique] and the background of Manalita, William couldn't help being shocked by the "beautiful hairless boy" in front of him. stop feeling.

It is said that the rejuvenated Macalita is really charming, extremely charming, and William has never seen a man so charming.His complexion is round and lustrous, and his facial features are so delicate and perfect that one may even suspect that they are not really born naturally, but are the most outstanding artworks of the most outstanding sculptors, especially those eyes shining with star traces, She exudes a strange charm all the time (a metamorphosis with a charm of 30+ (^o^)/~).

Even a man can't resist this terrible charm, not to mention a woman, Tabari is no exception, but this woman seems to have been prepared for this, she only lost her mind for a while, and then ruthlessly slapped herself She was punched on the nose, and immediately tears and nosebleeds flowed together. Under such circumstances, even the most "anthropomorphic" woman didn't have the heart to "sex".

The female arcanist took out a pendant inlaid with light-colored crystals and put it on her forehead, then gently wiped away the tears and blood on her face, she said with a cold face, "Minarita! You goblin shit! What I hate the most about you is that every time you come to Warlock's Enemy, you will cause trouble. Where is your little elf lover, why didn't she come with you?" The woman's tone was full of jealousy.

With the little finger of his left hand, McNarita gracefully scratched his non-existent "eyebrow", and said with a slight smile: "Resist the headgear? Ah, I hate this gadget, it will make my charm fade away. First of all, I have to declare that Lebiras is not my little lover, she is my student, my elf student, of course her origin is somewhat special—my lovely little Innori, she is missing, Not long ago, she actually left without saying goodbye. What a cruel elf..."

Tabari laughed sharply: "That's normal! After all, no one can endure a skinny old guy for a long time..."

"Stop your disgusting flirting! Two bastards! Tabari, this is the drink you want - fresh Mimir spring water. Damn it! Those big guys are getting greedy, wish them all Turned into Yorman Gund's poop (Jortunheim is actually the land of giants, Yorman Gund and giants are mutual prey)." At this time, the small "skeleton bartender" suddenly grabbed He slammed a wine glass heavily on the counter, interrupting the conversation between Tabari and Manalita in an extremely unfriendly way.The moment the wine cabinet was opened, William noticed that it was not full of wine utensils, but a strange dark vortex.

Tabari grabbed the wine glass and sniffed it. Feeling the fragrance of the wine, she murmured to herself slightly intoxicated, "That's right! It's fresh spring water, and I can even smell the wisdom and knowledge contained in it."

The female arcanist brought the wine glass to her nose and narcissistically for a while, but she didn't drink the wine, but pushed it in front of William and said, "She's yours, William!"

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

"Mine? What do you mean?" William asked, staring at the quivering jelly-like liquor in the glass.His sense of smell has been developed extremely well, he can even smell the dampness from a glass of clear water tens of meters away.But to his surprise, the glass of wine did not give off any moisture.

"It means that this glass of wine will enter your stomach, blend into your blood, and then turn into urine and sprinkle it on the land of Faerun. Don't worry, you deserve it. Although the magic items made by my teacher are precious , but those are foreign things after all. Try this, the secret treasure from Jotunheim, the hometown of giants - the spring of Mimir, which can also be called the tears of Yorman Gund." Tabari pointed with her finger He nodded at the counter and said with a smile.

William looked up into the eyes of the female arcanist, and asked, "Is there any reason for this glass of wine?"

McNarita interjected: "The Fountain of Mimir represents the sacred source of wisdom and knowledge, which can make the drinker smarter and wiser. I really miss it. I still can't forget her inspiration. The fragrance of one's intoxication. There is only one thing to remember, a man can only drink from Mimir's spring once in his life. The greedy man will lose himself and become a puppet of Yorman Gund."

The little skeleton floated up to the counter and retorted sharply: "Shut up! Manarita, you will frighten my guests. Don't worry, young man, Yorman Gund only sheds tears every other century, The price you need to pay to get this kind of thing is far beyond your imagination. No one can get the reward of this kind of secret treasure twice. Besides, in terms of human lifespan, you probably won't be able to wait for the next opportunity for the spring of Mimir to erupt , unless you are willing to give up your life and become an undead like me."

William picked up the wine glass and sniffed the liquid inside with his nose. The wine seemed to be restrained by some force, moist but not leaking a breath.William couldn't be sure whether this strange glass of wine was a glass of poisoned wine. After all, he had experienced too many conspiracies and tricks. Whether it was in his previous life or after he arrived in Faerun, trouble always found him naturally or unnaturally.

William brought the cup to his lips as if he wanted to drink, but he paused when he finished, and he looked up to meet the expectant eyes of the three (ghosts).William put down his glass and said, "I'm not used to drinking alcohol, it will affect my reaction speed. Help me change to a glass of crushed sea buckthorn juice with ice. I want to try the specialty drink of Ennook border area."

"As I said, this young man is a cautious guy—" the speaking Macalita smiled charmingly, but unfortunately it didn't work for the other three people present. The undead are naturally immune to charm, Tabari With the headgear of resistance, William's strong will is also strong enough to resist the charm of the "Lord of Time".

Tabari also shook her head and smiled and said, "William, your suspicions are serious. This is the fountain of wisdom, one of the most precious medicines in the world. There are countless existences in the world who fight to the death for the fountain of wisdom. You just give up like that?"

William said indifferently: "It's nothing more than a glass of wine, no matter how precious it is! Is it still something that can't be brewed?"

The little skull "bartender" said: "You are really right. Life, wisdom, and years are the three most precious sacred springs in Toril. I don't need to say more about the role of the fountain of life. The changes in Manalita just now You have also seen it. Years are a fountain of time, which can change the speed of time. As for the fountain of wisdom, she is the wisdom crystallization of all soul life. You should have seen the seed source of the cave god. That thing is Made with the water from the fountain of wisdom, it is really a vicious design. After drinking the water from the spring of wisdom, you no longer have to worry about being controlled by the seed source, and of course you also lose the chance to become a so-called 'god'."

William pointed to the cup and asked, "Is this the fountain of wisdom?"

The skeleton "bartender" said: "This is just a small part of a drop of water from the fountain of wisdom. Even a giant dragon cannot directly bear the power of a whole drop of pure spring water, because our souls are too fragile and will be overwhelmed by that powerful water." 'Sublimation' shreds easily."

"Sublimation?" William heard this strange word for the first time. It does not belong to the Common Language, but the ancient Netheril language, a special arcane professional term.

Macalita next to him explained: "'Sublimation' - that is a great change. Ugly becomes beautiful, weak becomes strong, dark becomes light, evil becomes righteous, none of them can describe her greatness, it is a kind of The metamorphosis from the deepest part of the miracle of life, from low level to high level, is like a demonic worm turning into a tanar'ri, a shallow sea leech turning into a giant dragon."

"Since a god-king from another world discovered the Fountain of Wisdom, countless wars have erupted because of her, including the destruction of the Era, God's Calamity, and Ragnarok... the bloody battlefield in the bottomless abyss has not stopped for a moment."

"Well, it sounds like this thing is indeed very precious. But I don't understand, why are you willing to give it to me? I am not a child, and I never believe in 'pie from the sky'. Tell me, what are your intentions? "William sneered.

Tabari said: "Attempt? Ha - of course we have an attempt. You have seen the saint of the cave god Ibrando, and I believe you have a certain understanding of his power. Know the biggest difference between gods and mortals Where is it? Not the body, not magic, and not false magic, but the quality of the soul. In the depths of the Enook desert, there is a kind of carnivorous ants 'death army', their number is endless, and they can even Kill an army of thousands of people fully armed, but they can't deal with dragons (an army of [-] people fully armed can fight against dragons), and some dragons are naturally exuding soul pressure (Dragon Power) The difference between us and the gods is like the difference between the "army of death" and the dragon."

"For some time to come, the main enemies you will face will be the saints from Outland and other beings with the talent of soul coercion. You cannot always rely on the power of the Horn of Cole to fight against them, unless you Willing to deprive it from your sister for your own. Therefore, the Fountain of Wisdom is your surest choice. Rest assured, we have found a way to use the Fountain of Wisdom safely thousands of years ago."

William asked with some uncertainty: "Is there really no problem?"

Manalita urged: "Of course! If you don't believe me, you can try it. Try a small bite first. If it doesn't work, you can give up in time."

William thought that with his control over Qi and blood, even if he drank a glass of sulfuric acid, he could spit it out in time, so he picked up the silver cup and took a small sip.Unexpectedly, the wine was as cold as ice, and he couldn't help shivering, entangled in William's soul, as if to turn it into an eternal stagnation.

Pain and joy are like countless granulated sugar falling into clear water, rubbing and melting together.It was a tempering of the soul, a tempering of ice and fire.

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

The feeling of drinking from the fountain of wisdom is so strange that those who have not experienced it will never be able to imagine the pain and happiness.William felt that he was having a strange dream, "Zhuang Shengxiao dreamed of butterflies", William was not Zhuang Sheng, he could not be a butterfly, he was a snake made of flames, with claws but no scales, meandering in the river of magma.

Snow fell from the top of the head, dots like ice, melting into the snake's body, turning into pieces of virtual scales, and the scales merged one by one to match each other.The scales grow more and more, and gradually become solidified.I don't know when, a small spore sprouted from the top of the fire snake's bare head, like a sprout that was about to break through the ground, but it was enduring endless pain.

The fire snake looked up and let out a silent growl, crying out for more falling snow.The snow cover is like a tilt, and the snake grows in the snow.

William finally woke up, still holding the silver cup in his hand, but the wine in the cup was empty.William looked around, looking down from a high stand, like a bird watching a rabbit, but saw that the surroundings were like a lightning strike, and the tables, chairs and benches were scattered in all directions by some kind of powerful shock wave, making a mess.

Lying in the corner of the wall were Tabari and Macalita, both of them were covered in a mess and their faces were ashen, as if they had been wantonly destroyed by dozens of big men.

William looked at everything in front of him. He was a little uncomfortable, not only the sound, but also the mutated vision. The scene in front of him was broken down into sections of spectrum, layer upon layer and kept flashing.In William's eyes, everything becomes a source of light, the ground, the tables and chairs, the air...and of course Tabari and Macalita, whose radiance is stronger than anything around them. For dazzling.

The brilliance of life is so brilliant, just like William himself, when William looked at his hands, what he saw was not flesh and blood, but two dazzling brilliance, more lively, agile, and Bright and full of vitality, it is the pulse of youth, which means that William is younger than the two old monsters, much younger.

"I... this is... what happened to me?" William, who was a little confused, asked, but was surprised that his voice was no longer like ordinary people.

Tabari leaned on the wall and stood up staggeringly, and murmured in a hoarse voice, "I should have known...I should have known long ago...The rule of denying warlocks to enter the door is not unreasonable. Damn non-human blood..."

Manalita shook his head vigorously, trying to clear his dizzy brain. He seemed to be slightly less affected than Tabari, with only some bruises on his bald forehead. The Lord of Time rubbed his forehead and inhaled. : "What kind of bloodline is this? How could there be such a violent reaction? Hiss - I got hit on the head with a big bump, and I'm at a disadvantage now."

"What's wrong with me? What's going on?" The unknowable change in vision made William unable to hide his shock and anger. He turned his ear to Tabari and asked in a deep voice.

McNarita took a few steps closer, waved his hand in front of William's face a few times, and said in surprise: "You are—【Pupil of True Sight】—do you still have the blood of the red dragon? How is it possible, I've never heard of an example where a fire ibis can be mixed with a fire dragon...it's impossible."

Tabari rubbed her forehead and said indignantly, "What's impossible? Manalita, you lunatic and liar. I should have understood that any proposal you made was crazy and presumptuous. What about Rasu! Where is that old guy Rasu?" ? Are you dead? Come out quickly!"

"Damn it! I almost died! I'm afraid I'll have to sleep for a while again, I hate lifeless sleep." The skeleton "bartender" Lasu emerged from the pile of debris in the corner behind, and at this time His bones have become shattered, and the negative energy covering the surface of the bones has also become very unstable.

The semi-lich (an advanced form of the lich) Lasu suspended in mid-air unsteadily, and after a few words of venting, he said: "Put away your shrew-like appearance, now our The kid is going crazy, although it doesn't look like it. Can anyone explain it to William? Well, I'll do it myself, after all 'Elves' problems need elves' (a proverb in Phelan, similar to 'professional problems Experts are needed to resolve')."

"William, young guy! Don't worry, any discomfort you have now is just a normal reaction after the transformation of the soul, and you will get used to it after a while. Haha, can you see me?" Lasu wobbled Floating to William, he grinned and grimaced.That's right!In the eyes of normal people, it is just a demilich with a tattered pocket skeleton, but in William's vision, it is a serious "human appearance", a translucent "human", quite similar to the one used on the screen in the previous life. Special effects do the "ghost" style.

William turned around and stared at the only "normal" existence, heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Tell me, what's going on? My eyes, my hearing...perception—" At this time, William discovered another A thing that took him by surprise.

At this time, William was facing Tabari and Manalita, but he could "see" every move of them clearly, knowing every frown and blink of an eye, even using his eyes more often than he used to Direct vision should be clear and comprehensive.The blood flow, heartbeat, breathing in their bodies... even the slightest physical movement cannot escape William's perception.

Since William can perceive other people's body movements, he can also "see clearly" his own.William had a very strange feeling, as if some kind of huge existence was sleeping and breathing in his body, slowly but full of power, "bubbling" the vast and endless torrent.William knew very well that it was his heart beating, and it seemed that for some unknown reason, his heart pumping ability had been greatly enhanced.

But these are not all the changes, there are more unknowns or surprises waiting for William to discover.As the demilich Rasu said: "One thing you need to know - the fountain of wisdom - is an unimaginable potion for any thinking creature. She will help the drinker to gain from body to soul. All-round evolution, and this evolution is endless, 'You can fly as high and as far as your heart is wide.' Your eyes are now in the state of night vision, and this dark vision ability can be said to be It is a very ancient power, except for a small number of lizard life, only some powerful enough magical bloodlines (including humanoid and non-humanoid creatures) can master it."

"To be honest, this visual state is not very good for normal humans. But don't worry, you will be able to adapt and master it soon. As long as you observe carefully, you can even observe the color of life from another angle. "

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

In the dull and lonely wasteland, there is no wind, no birds and beasts, and the sun in early autumn seems to be hotter than in midsummer.I don't know when, three running sand camels broke the dullness here, and their thick horny paws walked on the alkalized wasteland for a long time.

William closed his eyes and sat on one of the sand camel beasts. In front of him was Palitru, who was anxiously leading the way. This businessman from Waterdeep City seemed to be greatly stimulated by Maddalena and his party. Many people like to explore secrets, but once they find that they have uncovered more secrets than they can bear, worry and fear are bound to follow.Palitru couldn't predict how terrifying the secrets about Netheril he came into contact with, but he knew that he would live in caution and panic in the future, because the news about Netheril was too intriguing after all. It is eye-catching, even if the "old bones" of Sinrenal don't silence him, if others learn that he has inside information about the floating city, those greedy people will not let him go.

Standing next to William was Tabari, who had changed her face into a ranger costume, but the female arcanist was in high spirits, and even the scorching sun in the sky couldn't erase the pride on her face.Tabari is dressed in tight clothes with arrow sleeves, her long chestnut hair is tied into knots, and she wears a belt with a pouch (a kind of belt with hooks and small leather pouches on it, which can be used to hang light weapons and various small items) , bottles), lizard skin fast boots, and a dark green hooded cloak, she looks like a capable female adventurer.

Tabari possessed fighting skills and combat experience that surprised even William. Before leaving Maddalena, she deliberately proposed to have a non-magical gladiatorial fight with William while taking advantage of William's eye discomfort.In Faerun, the so-called "non-magic gladiator" has a very special meaning, it is common to any language known to Faerun, no matter what kind of words are used, there is only one voice when it is pronounced - "Stank Et Arms 戙” (like describing the cry of human beings, no matter it is expressed in Chinese characters, letters or other words, it is always an “Ah——!”)!

"Stankite Arms" has multiple meanings, it means duel, and also represents a priestly domain 【Weapon skills】—including but not limited to knives, swords, sticks, spears, hammers, axes, daggers And all melee weapons (bow and crossbow weapons belong to the category of hunters). "Stankeet Arms" was initiated by the believers of the God of War in the early days. It means "to fight to the death with you under the witness of the God of War". Both sides of the battle are forbidden to use any magic, but they can use bows, crossbows, Throwing weapons such as throwing axes.However, the restrictions of "Stan Keite Arms" that have evolved to today have been relaxed a lot. It allows both sides of the battle to borrow some auxiliary powers of spells with restrictions, but attack and summoning spells are still prohibited.

"Stankeet Arms" is a very solemn holy war ritual.Under normal circumstances, people would rather fight directly with fists and knives than touch this thing.Usually there are only two kinds of people who will choose "Stank Art Arms". One is two opponents who are sympathetic or evenly matched. However, there is another kind of life-and-death enemy who is inseparable from grievances and grievances.Stanchet Arms usually ends with the death of one of the parties or the death of both parties. Of course, both parties survived, but from now on, it will be difficult for the two participants to carry out the next game under the influence of fate. "Showdown".

Because of the habits of his previous life (more precisely, the lessons learned), William has never underestimated the enemy. Since his rebirth, he has been adhering to the creed of "a lion must go all out to fight a rabbit" and walk in this world.But William underestimated the treachery and shamelessness of the female arcanist, [Bear's Patience], [Bull's Brute Force], [Cat's Grace], [Eagle's Glory], [Fox's Cunning], [Lion's Charge] , [Owl's Insight], [Heroism], [Rage]... Tabari and her "accomplices" blessed her with a series of blessing and protection spells, and this cunning woman even used a spell for herself. Known as "the most shameless of legendary spells" [Damage Counter Art].

People who have been blessed with [Damage Countermeasure] are completely hedgehogs, because any damage to the subject will appear on the attacker at the same time. This is a typical "kill a thousand enemies, and you will die." One thousand" exchange for sub-deals.

Therefore, even if William had a little success in listening, he still suffered a lot without knowing the details.With the blessing of various magics, Tabari is no weaker than William in terms of strength, speed, or reaction.What was even more surprising to William was Tabari's combat experience. Personally speaking, among all the people William met in Faerun, including Zha, who is said to be the best martial arts master in the entire Northland and the Underdark. Drizzt Urden, Knafein's successor and son, really has no one who can match Tabari in terms of combat skills (except William himself, of course).

But if you think about it, as long as you are a normal person who is not crazy or stupid, anyone who can live for a thousand or eight hundred years can become an unparalleled master of martial arts with a little effort.

So when William came out with a vicious eight-pole attack [Iron Mountain Reach], he was in a tragedy.When the turbulent force bounced back, William was surprised to find that not only Tabari was knocked out, but also himself.And William finally knew what it was like for those victims who were killed by him (Iron Mountain) in the previous life, just like being repeatedly trampled on every muscle and bone of him from the inside to the outside by countless bison. It's as painful as it needs to be. (By the way, it’s no secret to masters of Chinese martial arts that the Sanshou style of most martial arts styles is not a secret. The key is how much you have practiced your own strength.)

There is such a benefit in a world with magic, no matter how much damage you receive, as long as you don't die on the spot, you can recover quickly with the help of magic.Healing the wounds of two combatants will not be easy for these old Netherese wretches hiding here.Even before William had time to savor the "sequelae" of self-harm, he found that his injuries had completely healed.

Next, William thoroughly experienced the shamelessness of [Damage Counter Art], no matter it is punches, palms, fingers, claws, joint skills, grappling and beating, or force, strength, as long as he dares to attack the female arcanist, he They will definitely suffer the same injuries, and of course these injuries will be healed in the first place.Every attack is equivalent to attacking himself at the same time, which makes it difficult for William to use his hands and feet for a while, but Tabari can attack crazily regardless.

In desperation, William could only defuse Tabari's attacks one by one with the help of the unimaginable Ting Jin stunt for the natives of Faerun, and William did a very good job in this process of only defending but not attacking. It's calm and unhurried, which surprised the viewers.

As time went by, William gradually discovered the flaws in Tabari's combat skills. She relied entirely on experience and semi-random actions to fight, and did not specifically summarize and refine combat skills—and then summed up a set of systematic and In terms of efficient martial arts, this point has almost the same problem in other long-lived races in Faerun, which cannot but be said to be a great pity.

Perhaps most of Tabari's energy has been spent on arcane magic, after all, her job is still an arcane spellcaster.

It's easy to have a weakness, and William quickly seized this point as a breakthrough, relying on the powerful Ting Jin stunt to counter Tabari with throwing skills that destroy the opponent's center of gravity.However, when William gained the upper hand, those old things decisively interrupted the so-called "sacred" Stanchet Arms.

"William, why do you react so fast and catch my attack every time? Can you predict my attack? How did you practice your blind fighting skills?..." Tabari said to William The combat power is very curious, she doesn't understand how a young man under 20 years old can have such an excellent combat awareness, it is even more monstrous than the god of battle back then.

William raised his eyebrows and ignored the female arcanist. He was immersed in exploring and exploring the various changes caused by his body mutation.

For people who are used to observing the external environment with normal vision, a dazzling colorful light world is not very beautiful, just like wearing an infrared night vision device during the day when the sun is shining, it is extremely awkward and dazzling.

What makes William even more uncomfortable is that this new visual state is not static. It took a lot of effort for William to recover to normal vision, but this state is not stable. Switching between states, this feeling of being dazzled from time to time is really maddening. Before he can freely control dark vision, William had to close his eyes most of the time.

The temporary visual confusion did not make William feel any inconvenience in detecting the external environment, because his other sensory abilities were greatly enhanced, and even William's brain reaction speed became much faster.It stands to reason that these changes should be considered a good thing, but they also caused some unexpected deviations in William's control over his body, which is undoubtedly a potential threat to a warrior.

An accomplished martial artist is not only a powerful fighter, but also a perfect controller of the body, and also an excellent healer, because only by knowing the various mechanisms of the human body well, he can control and adjust the body at any time The change in function is the only way to make it easier for me to walk on the road of breaking through the limit and reaching perfection.

Because he spent most of his time fleeing for his life and hiding, William only had a little knowledge of medicine (especially human medicine), and had no opportunity to study and research in depth. As a result, he didn't know that his body had problems during the cultivation process.

William felt that he was very lucky. Although he died once, he could start all over again in this magical world.He can freely correct many mistakes he has made before, do what he wants to do, think what he should think, and pursue what he previously expected.

This is a vast and mysterious world, a magical world that cannot be compared to the small earth in the previous life (at least in the eyes of William today), where there are not only all kinds of unimaginable magic miracles, but also exotic worlds. Minerals, species, climates, regions, customs, products... even some gods that may exist in mythology can be found.

William has to admit that although the elixir and secret treasure are good, they are not suitable for use at all times. Of course, William understands the reason why tonics become poisons. He secretly vowed that he will never eat things of unknown origin again. The various treasures and medicines of the world have aroused a strong interest.

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

When William was still spending time with Tabari and a group of old guys in Maddalena, Lambert, tens of kilometers away, had a different scene.

As a subsidiary village of Maddalena, people in Lambert, Emmanla and the other four villages and towns don't know the true inside story of their main town. A mysterious unknown mage, who has a weird temper. He (or she) allows outsiders to enter Maddalena, but no one can stay there overnight. It is said that anyone who violates this rule will be turned into sand by the unknown mage. Tuatara.However, the "unnamed mage" has many "apprentices". These "apprentice mages" often enter six villages and towns to solve some problems for the villagers and provide some magical services, such as healing injuries, purifying water sources, and so on.

I have to talk about the bad taste of those old things in Sinrenal, a group of old monsters standing at the apex of the pyramid of power, all of them are comparable to gods, but they always like to pretend to be fledgling apprentices and run out Charming.

The "Member of Kukan" that Palitru said was one of the twenty so-called "Mage Apprentices". They were very respected among the villagers. them.Because most of these villagers are Netheril, they are not as afraid of rejecting magic as outsiders. They respect those who can use magic, especially Netheril's arcanists.

You must know that in the era before the rise of Netheril, human beings were just an extremely inconspicuous one among hundreds of intelligent races. An enemy of one, Jerish Kronomanthel (a talented arcanist in Netheril's early days, his talent was even greater than that of Karsus later, defending Illusk at the time was ambushed by the orc gods at that time, and died of serious injuries a few years later), Iolum, the undead Owo, Karsus... These outstanding arcanists made great achievements in the battle and set a record. Fame, they are the pride of human epics, nightmares on the road of blood and tears of alien races, their achievements overwhelm the gods, their vicious reputation shocks all planes, and they are honored as "Warlock Kings" by the world.

Anyone who knows the past history always has an indelible reverence for the "King of Warlocks", and the titular lord of the Lonely Wasteland, the granddaughter of the undead Owo, Morisa, often visits Maddalena openly, and occasionally Go around any of the six villages and towns, although this hideous witch is not friendly, but every time the people in the six towns are excited.The relationship between this cold old witch and Netheril is well known, and her madness and arrogance are also well-known, but people find that Morisa is always very respectful and polite when facing those "mage apprentices" , which can't help but make them wonder about the identity of the unknown mage.

Therefore, compared with the humans in other places, Nasir in Six Towns always has a strange sense of superiority, and the residents of Lambert are especially obvious on this point.Lambert is the last gateway to the Great Desert of Enook. Usually, there should be an "apprentice" of an unknown mage here, but that "apprentice" hid in the first time a big fireball appeared in the sky. Maddalena, which has been making the residents of Lambert feel a little uneasy for nearly a month.

This morning, the halfling rogue brought back sad news of Aymanla's fall. Terrified, Taron claimed that the murderers were a group of terrible giants, and because of the bragging nature of halflings, he told them The number of groups of "giants" is exaggerated tenfold.Although many people know that halflings are unreliable in their speech, after all, in the eyes of halflings, the size of human beings can also be regarded as "giants", and halflings think that only halflings are normal, but the news brought back by this little thing is inevitable. This caused panic in the whole village.

Chaos began to appear in Lambert's meeting place. Some ignored the news brought back by Talen, thinking that the halfling was just talking big to please the public; some thought that spies should be sent to investigate Emmanra again; The few less courageous who offered to seek refuge and help in Meda Dalai were the butt of ridicule by the others.

Lambert's leader, Snowlear, was also not sure whether he should believe the big-mouthed Talon, he hesitated and said: "You have to go to Emmanra again. I can't be sure whether what I said is true, You'll have to bring back hard evidence that you're telling the truth. Of course I'll send someone else with you, Baum..."

Far from wanting to face the fear of the unknowable again, the timid halfling interrupted, screaming, "No! I'll never go back there again! That's two dozen (a dozen equals ten Two) dreadful giants whose waist is higher than your shoulders and whose tomahawks are wider than your door! I will never go to Emmanra—”

Now Lambert's spies are a bit understaffed. Before that, they not only sent Tarun to visit Emmanra, but also sent more spies to the other four towns, and Tarun was the fastest to come back among the five batches of spies. .

Not everyone in Faerun is qualified to be a spy or a rogue, because the most important job of a rogue is not their combat effectiveness, but their excellent survivability. A rogue must learn to survive in a harsh environment. Amongst horrific monsters, horrific monsters, and ferocious enemies, you can ensure that you can come back alive, followed by some simple intelligence collection and analysis capabilities.Speaking of which, the survivability of the halfling rogue Taron can be regarded as the best in the entire lonely wasteland. Even a group of sand wolves (the most cunning and difficult predators in the Ennook desert area) can survive within tens of kilometers. Surrounded by him (except for tracking prey), he was able to escape unscathed, but this coward's intelligence gathering ability is absolutely scum.

Snowlear is not a decisive enough person, he hopes that Tarun can take a reliable villager to go to Emmanla again.But when Talen refused to go out to investigate the news again, Snowler began to be in a dilemma. At this time, he missed the "Mage Apprentice" who was resident in Lambert. He can easily solve it.

After some deliberation, Snowler decided to send a villager to Maddalena to explain the situation and ask for some advice.However, not long after the villager set off, the second group of spies rushed back. They brought back the news that Patty was destroyed and the dead villagers were eaten by unknown monsters, which made Snow Lear terrified. , he again sent two villagers to Meda Dalai, this time to ask for reinforcements.

Snowler has never felt so irritated, especially when there is a chattering little man next to his ear, Tarron has been bragging and enriching his experience: "...I have never encountered such a Strong and brutal giants! There are three dozen of them! Their knees are higher than the bridge of your nose, and the giant axes they wield are as big as your houses..." The villagers listened to his bragging with great interest, while they laughed. Worrying whispers.

Then the third and fourth batch of spies came back with bad news, and the villagers of Lambert became more and more panicked.When the fifth and final spies brought back news that the last town had been destroyed, Snowrel, terrified, decided to take all the villagers to Maddalena for refuge.
