The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 147 Temporary seclusion
Beside a sparse forest path outside Silvermoon City, the four of William, who were supposed to find a place to abscond, sat on the side talking and laughing, stopping to rest.

Yasuna asked puzzled, "William, how can you be sure that Helen is plotting against you again this time?"

William said with a smile: "I can still tell the difference between a person who has exhausted himself after a long journey and a person who pretends to be. Although Xieren looks very similar, the blood (not blood) in her body is abnormally abundant, definitely not Those who rush back after a long journey can have it. What's more, there is some information you provided, which can be easily judged after a little analysis."

"Oh?" An inexplicable color flashed in Yasuna's eyes, "I don't know what you mean by 'blood energy', does it refer to physical strength?"

William said ambiguously: "Well, it counts!"

"Then what are your plans next?"

"Are you planning?" William couldn't help but sighed, but he didn't answer Yasuna's question directly, "I think I'm new here, the world is unknown, and I should have kept my behavior low-key, but because of my carelessness, I got involved in the affairs of several big forces. Between right and wrong. Alas! At first I wanted to pretend to be a fledgling fool, but now that I think about it, I miscalculated. If I am a cowardly and ordinary ordinary person, how can I be miscalculated? miss."

Yasuna said: "I really don't understand what you are talking about."

"Okay, you and Xillen are both good people, and you know what you think in your heart best. Hmph! Although I don't know why Xillen is behind the scenes this time, I think I need help with something, but Lian Yueqiao and the couple Such an important building in Silvermoon City can be sacrificed, so it can be seen that the picture must be no small matter. If I really continue to pretend to be stupid and follow her wishes, I am afraid that I may lose my life in the end. To fall out is to jump out of the situation and take the opportunity to escape."

"You mean you're not going to help Helen and the others?"

William shook his head and said with a smile: "We still have to help. After all, it's rare to meet each other. We have to show some kindness. It's just that I have the final say on how to help and how much to help."

Yasuna then asked, "Then what should we do now?"

William looked up at the black dots hovering in the sky in the distance and said: "I think the woman whose neck bone was broken by me is almost awake at this time, and these 'followers' should also be sent back soon." Order, after this incident, Helen should not bother me in a short time. Let's go, let's find a place to settle down and live a peaceful life."

In the castle of the Ladies' College of Silvermoon City, Hieren said to Alastriol: "It seems that it was just a false alarm. Now Links is safe and sound, let's call everyone back."

Links, who was deaf and moaning non-stop, said angrily, "What is a false alarm? My neck is broken like this, so I'm safe and sound? Do you know that bastard really wants to kill me?" , damn it, I will never spare him. I must send someone to bring back that damned William. Ouch——! It hurts me so much! It hurts." The over-excited Links accidentally touched the shifted The neck bone immediately screamed in pain.

Alaszhuo smiled gloatingly: "I told you to heal you, but if you didn't listen, you insisted on staying here. Look, it doesn't feel good."

Xieren stepped forward and helped Links straighten her neck while laughing, "William is showing mercy this time. If he really wanted to kill you, why bother breaking your neck and punching you?"

Links, who was being pulled by Xieren's neck bone, was temporarily unable to speak. Whenever she spoke, the wound would arouse severe pain, so she could only let out a weak cold snort.Hellen said: "Don't be unconvinced. I know William's strength best. When he was fleeing on the Spine of the World, even an adult frost giant couldn't withstand two punches from him, and was directly beaten to death. What's more, you This delicate and expensive mage?"

Links, who didn't dare to provoke the wound too much, could only argue weakly: "What does it mean to be delicate and fleshy, I am a powerful magic knight, don't you underestimate me?"

Erastrio laughed and said: "Yes, you are a knight as powerful as Ross, but you don't rely on your sister to give you the constant magic? It's just that although the magic is easy to use, it's all useless in front of the Horn of Cole. It's wasted effort."

Links said angrily: "You are the one who is powerful. Wait! What did you say just now, the horn of Cole? I heard it right, no wonder, no wonder, all my spells can't be used when that kid does it .Damn it, you sisters kept it from me so hard that you just said it now, but let me think about it, maybe that little girl wears it on her head? Damn it! My Eye of Monadis, just So ruined."

Helen glared fiercely at Alustriel, who had slipped his mouth, and the latter could only smile wryly.Xilen poured a bottle of special healing potion into Linx's mouth, first laughed and said: "You didn't ask, why did we tell you?" Then he turned his face angrily: "Besides, I haven't settled with you yet. ! Who told you to be so full that you spoiled all the good plans!"

After drinking the potion, the bones had begun to heal, and Linx immediately said with a playful smile, "I'm trying to help. Hehe, hehe! Hey, yes, it is said that Cole's Horn is very mysterious and almost restrains all spells. Since you Having been with that little girl for so long, I must know the true function of Cole's Horn." Xieren rolled her eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to this woman who was hundreds of years old and still not in shape.

Alaszhuo said with a bit of a headache: "Now that things have developed to this point, what should I do next? If it can't be done, let's do it directly. My big Silvermoon City is not empty."

Helen shook his head and said, "No! You don't know the Horn of Cole. Not everyone can use it. Although I haven't fully figured out the specific effect, I can make a good guess. According to my observations , all spells that are malicious to Misha will directly bounce back to the caster, and the spells released by people who make Misha angry, afraid, disgusted or have other negative emotions will generally be invalid immediately, of course there are other small problems , I’ll talk about this later.”

"Originally, according to my plan, even if William knew that we deliberately set up a trap, he would have to bite the bullet and drill in. I know what this kid is thinking best."
Glaring at Links fiercely, "I didn't expect Links to intervene, and William seized the opportunity to deliberately turn our backs on us. It seems that he has already guessed my intention. Alas! Trouble, if you really want to do something If you can succeed, you will have to pay a heavy price, and you have already done so many preparations, so the loss outweighs the gain." Links was stared at by Xi Lun, shaking her head non-stop.

Helen said again: "Let's put this matter aside for now. William is a smart man. They won't go too far. Now withdraw the people sent out first, and then find a few dark men in the harp to watch them , Wait for a while."

Alastriol nodded and said: "Well! That's right, you go back to Shadow Valley first, I have everything here, so you can't miss anything. Drizzt and the others are coming back from Calimshan in the south, and they seem to be with William's We have a good friendship, this time I am going to gather my forces to take back the Mithril Hall completely, maybe I can get Drizzt to invite William to help."

Helen said: "One month, after I finish handling the matter in the Valley of Shadows, try to come back within a month. There is no need to let William participate in the operation to recover Mithril Hall. He will have more important things to do by then. You know how to proceed."

Elastra smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry! Everything will go according to plan, let's go, I'll see you off." As they spoke, the two sisters ignored Links on the side and walked out.

Links behind said anxiously: "Wait a minute, I still have something to ask, how many things are you hiding from me? Hey! Wait for me!"

A few days later, in the Supreme Palace of Silvermoon City, Erastriol was sitting on a chair and listening to his subordinates' report: "My honorable lady, those people stopped at Hills, and they lived in an abandoned logging building. field."

Eras Zhuowen said: "Well, well done. You've worked hard this time, let's go down and rest."

The guard in charge of delivering the message couldn't help being excited when he heard the words. He opened his mouth a few times to say something, but finally he choked out a sentence: "Yes, honorable lady."

Elastre smiled and watched the loyal guards walk out of the room, turned to the secretary standing aside and said, "Go and inform the Thorn Bird, so that you can accept William. Tell him that you don't have to have any purpose at first, just need Just establish a good relationship with them and take care of these outsiders. Forget it, I’d better go there myself.”

Silvermoon City is a city where multiple sects coexist. The druids who believe in Sivanus and his daughter are quite powerful here. The logging behavior they regard as destructive to nature is extremely resisted, so many logging camps have to be forced to closure.

William and the others settled in such a failed lumber mill. The dilapidated lumberjack lodges looked decayed due to years of disrepair, and many squirrels took this place as their habitat.However, William was not troubled by these. He even knocked down the entire wooden house and rebuilt it. William cut a large strip of wood into a cone shape and smashed it into the soil, which was used to replace the soil to strengthen the foundation.

Huge logs were felled from the woods and dragged here, dissected into thick plank bricks and beams, and the leftovers were stored as fire starting materials.William holds multiple titles such as chief designer, carpenter, master craftsman, etc. Yasuna is his helper, and Finia is a small worker. As for Misha, she is a troublemaker who jumps up and down and causes little troubles from time to time. In many cases, she is quite well-behaved, such as when sleeping.

Although no one here is a professional, William built a decent house after more than ten days of hard work and several failures based on the impression of mud houses built in the countryside when he was a child.
