The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 157 Poor Child
Elm stared dumbfounded at William who was standing there with a smile on his face. In the blink of an eye, the entire army of twelve well-trained elite fighters was exhausted. This was a blow to his fragile heart.

William walked up to him and knelt down on one knee, gently helped the seriously injured Elm up and asked, "Elm, how is your injury?" Elm stared straight at William's face , the shocking appearance is comparable to that of an old glass with a broken back that has been accumulated for many years, suddenly discovering a charming, gorgeous, and beautiful boy in the flower field.

William was a little embarrassed by Elm, Yun Jin snorted lightly to wake him up, and said, "What's wrong with you, your brain was kicked out?"

Elm tried to show a smiling face to apologize, but his mouth was crooked due to the pain from the wound, and he sucked in a bitter face: "Oh! Si—! I...I'm fine, I can't die for the time being. William, I can't think of it. Unexpectedly, you saved me."

William glanced at the scattered corpses on the ground, and asked, "Who are they, and why did they come here to hunt you down?"

Elm looked at William with a complicated expression, and said in a shy voice: "They are all Zhentarim killers, they are extremely difficult to mess with, unexpectedly they are all in your hands. No wonder Ms. Hellen repeatedly asked me to I must ask for your help, you are the most powerful warrior I have ever seen."

"Hellen? I knew that she must be indispensable for this kind of thing." William couldn't help but frowned, and then sighed, "Forget it! I'll take you back to the lumberyard. The wound on your body is a bit fatal, and you have to die Yasuna heal."

Elm stopped William with his remaining right hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Wait! William, I have something to ask, I hope you can agree."

"Oh! Let's talk about it."

Elm took a breath and said, "The reason why these Zhentarim killers wanted to kill me was because of Xiaomi Luna. Xiaomi Luna was born with a special talent, and she was persecuted by evil forces since she was a child." Peep, I don’t know how many members of the Harper League have given their lives to protect her over the years. This time, unfortunately, I missed my whereabouts. The Zhentarim and several other organizations will definitely not let it go. William, I am almost useless now, I can't afford to continue to protect poor Xiaomi Luna, I can only beg you"

William sneered and said, "Don't you still have Hellen's sisters? With the help of Silvermoon City's lord, Alustri, and her subordinates, I believe it should be safer than keeping them with me!"

Elm smiled wryly and shook his head, "You don't understand, William! I'm not in a position to reveal some secrets about the high-ranking Harpist and the silver-haired sisters, but if they're there, Xiaomi Luna's situation will definitely be miserable. It will be effective if you and I protect it."

"What you said makes people a little confused. Forget it, I don't care about it. I don't care about it. When your injury is healed, take that child and leave. I don't want Misha'er to be involved. , if you want to find someone to help, there are tens of thousands of people in Silvermoon City, are you afraid you can’t find a suitable candidate? As for me, let’s forget it!” After this period of peaceful life, Misha’er is obviously better than before when she was wandering around. With a lot of energy, William didn't want to be forced to embark on the old road of running away.

"William! William, cough, cough, please listen to me, no one but you can protect Xiaomi Luna, no one...no one can complete this adventure." Seeing William's refusal, Elm momentarily Excited to cough up a few mouthfuls of blood, he spoke with difficulty in a hoarse voice.

William sneered and said, "But I'm not interested! I don't want to! I don't want to! Can you hear me clearly? Shut up now, and after Yasuna heals your wounds, take the girl away!"

"No! William, you can't do this. Without you, Xiaomi Luna will definitely not escape doom. I...I am willing to exchange my life, William! I am willing to use my life to win your consent! Cough cough cough Cough." Elm, with a miserable face, was desperate at first, and then showed a relieved smile.

William felt that this person was a bit stupid, and he actually declared that he would exchange his life. What's the use of asking for your life!

Elm coughed up several mouthfuls of blood and continued: "William, Arabelle of Cormyr, there is an inn called Arabel's Light in that city, please find a red-haired girl named Caitlin Moonsong, She'll tell you what to do with Honey Luna. William ho-ho I-I-please tell Ms. Hellen that I haven't tarnished Lark's name after all. Uh-"

William suddenly realized that Elm's situation was a bit wrong. When he turned over the opponent's body, he found that Elm had actually stuck a dagger in his heart.William had an urge to laugh out loud, and begging for help ended up committing suicide. It's really funny.

But William couldn't laugh anymore. He has killed countless people in the two lives. He has seen countless good people, bad people, smart people, stupid people, greedy people, and treacherous people. But this is the first time he has encountered a situation like Elm's. But unlike those who act bravely in a moment of anger, "a gentleman values ​​justice and despises life and death", it's easy to say, but it's easy to do.
William squatted on the ground, staring at Elm's frozen eyes. After a long time, he let out a light breath and said, "Okay, you won! I promised you that, and now you can rest in peace. Sigh! I really don't know Are you stupid or I am stupid, motherfucker!"

The secret record of the Harper Alliance: DR [-]——In March of the Year of the Prince, Skylark died in the eastern outskirts of Silvermoon City in the Northland.

William gently closed Elm's eyelids and retrieved his lost rapier. With William's arm strength, Elm's body weight was nothing at all, but his steps were heavy, as if he was holding It is a heavy stone mountain.

William carried his corpse and slowly returned to the abandoned lumber hut. The funeral was so simple that even a lowly priest was not invited to preside over it. creature), and buried it hastily.

According to the custom of his previous life, William erected a wooden tombstone for Elm. The epitaph reads: He exchanged his own life for the possibility of a girl's survival. No one can deny the nobility contained under the tombstone.

During the whole funeral process, Xiaomi Luna watched silently, without any sadness, pain, or any fluctuation in her eyes, as if she was an irrelevant bystander, which made William feel very uncomfortable. Sure enough, it was a poor child.
