The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 125 The Beastman of the Moon Forest

The Sebrin River, a main river originating from the depths of the Spine of the World, winds and converges with its largest tributary, the Raven River, and many other tributaries to the downstream Delinsha River, and finally flows into the sword near Waterdeep City. bay.This water network that runs through almost half of the Northland is the most important transportation hub in the Northland. It will include most of the Northland city-states, including the Silver Moon Alliance, Nesmai, Yatta, Three Piglands, and Waterdeep City. formed the closest allies.

However, the Surbring River in this season cannot serve as a connecting link. The hard and thick ice layer makes it covered by snow. Although it looks like a wide and flat snow track, it still makes travelers look And sigh, no one wants to rush in this cold weather.

But now someone has broken this habit, four figures staggering in the snow slowly marched along the river.

William lowered his head to look at Misha in his arms. The little girl was plucking the little ears of the "little cat" bored. She noticed her brother's gaze, blinked her eyes and showed a smile, and then pouted her little mouth pitifully. He said: "William! 'Maomao Chong' refuses to play with Misha! Doesn't it like Misha?"

William smiled and said: "The little guy is still too young, it's time to sleep! How can it be as energetic as Misha'er!"

"Then when 'Maomaochong' grows up, can he play with Misha'er?" Mishaer then asked.

William patted the little girl's buttocks with his gloved left hand and said in affirmation: "Of course!" The corner of the little girl's mouth curled into a smile, and she gently arched her body in her brother's arms, like another Just like a kitten.

The snow on the ground is very deep, and it is really not a pleasant thing to drive in the knee-high snow. Even Yasuna and Finia, the two favorites of the ice and snow, can walk very well under this situation. strenuous.It is also impossible for Xillen to always use spells to help everyone on their way. For mages who travel long distances, it is very important to keep the spell slots they should have. However, among the few people except the little girl, she has the weakest physical strength , It didn't take long for the sweaty female mage to propose to stop and take a rest.

William put down the little girl in his arms and looked around for a while, while Misha sat obediently on the blanket that had just been spread on the snow-covered surface, imitating her brother's big eyes to look left and right, not guarding against Helen. Deliberately lying on her back, she pressed the blanket deeply into the snow, and the little girl was almost squeezed out, but her little face was already buried in the icy snow.

Stimulated by the coolness of the ice and snow, the little girl turned over immediately. She put down the little pet in her hand, screamed and threw herself at Hellen, who was panting in the middle of the blanket. Since Elf left, she might have been a child at heart or something else. The reason is that the female mage often deliberately finds trouble with Misha.

William glanced at the two big and small guys who were twisted into a ball, and couldn't help smiling. He said, "Finia! Follow me over there! Take your Thunder Frost!" Go to the shore woods at the place.

Helen is no better than Elf, she is a strong adult human woman, she is no match at all with the little girl's small arms and thin legs, and she was completely suppressed after a while.Misha asked Finia loudly for help, but unfortunately, the half-giant who shared the same hatred with the enemy had already left with William, and Yasuna, the indifferent guy who always stood aside and watched the show (in Misha's opinion), was completely useless.

Misha'er turned her eyes and shouted: "'Maomaochong'! Help Misha'er bite her! Bit Helen!" It's a pity that the little thing opened its small mouth and yawned silently, clenching its chin and shrinking. With his little head on, he continued to sleep soundly.
William pointed to a thick coniferous pine tree and said, "Finia! Cut it down!" With the sharpness of Thunder Frost, Phinia chopped off the trunk in a few strokes, and William directed her to cut off the useless At the same time, he took out a fine gold short dagger to cut open the trunk, chisel out specific small holes, and use the branches to cut into suitable wooden wedges.

Under Finia's astonished and bewildered eyes, a rough and simple big sled gradually took shape in William's hands, and he even installed a small canopy and baffles for the sled to keep out the wind and snow, obviously for Misha. .

When William and Phinya came back dragging a slightly heavy sled, the little girl had already made a truce with Hellen, but it was obvious that Little Miss took advantage of it, because she was glaring at him with an unhappy face, The female mage deliberately showed a complacent expression.

Seeing her brother coming back, Misha'er immediately smiled. She wrinkled her little nose in protest at Hellen, waved excitedly at William, and then jumped into the snow, which had already sunk Her little butt, Misha, struggled hard in the snow, barely moved forward two steps before being picked up by William.

"Helen! Summon a few animals that can move quickly on the snow! Also! You need to have strength!" William put the curious little girl on the sled and turned to the female mage.

Helen didn't like this kind of behavior of using summoned creatures to "do chores". She felt that this was inconsistent with her magical creed, but she opened her mouth but did not directly refuse, but obediently used magic to summon a few Strong and strong celestial riding dogs, they are also one of the best sled dogs.

In view of the weight of the crowd, Yasuna also summoned four celestial riding dogs. Nine big dogs dragged the leather ropes temporarily cut from animal skins, and pulled the padded sled along the river at high speed. Every hour the riding dog needs to be replaced, but the speed of progress is countless times faster than usual.

Misha'er jumped up and down in the sled curiously. She looked at the rapidly receding snow layer and tried to grab it from time to time, and then was caught by William who found it in time. The little girl would happily hide in her unique little shack for a while to be quiet.

A few days later, the sled detoured through a cliff valley, and a large coniferous forest appeared on the east bank of the Sebrin River. Helen pointed to the forest and said, "That's the Moon Forest! Go around her and reach the southernmost Rui Wenhe is the most beautiful pearl of the Silvermoon Alliance, Silvermoon City known as 'Myth Drannor of the Northland'!"

Sheron paused and said again: "But a little further south, we have to walk through the Moon Forest! There are cruel and vicious lycanthropes living in the northern part of the Moon Forest! We need to be careful! William! Especially if you want to Be careful! The teeth and claws of lycanthropes have contagious viruses! Once injured by them, you will become a new lycanthropy!"

William shook his head and asked, "What exactly is a lycanthropy?"

Yasuna said: "William! Do you still remember the werewolf Hill that I imprisoned back then? He is a lycanthropy! But Hill is a special magically modified creature and is not contagious!"

William was surprised and said, "You mean the werewolves who can infect people by biting them are lycanthropes?" How could he not know about werewolves, such legendary creatures? .

Hellen said: "It's not just werewolves! Bearmen, ratmen, badgers, wild boars, tigermen! There are all kinds of lycanthropes! But..."
