Chess Mage of Faerûn

Chapter 132 A warm spring night within the boudoir, the bed is perfect for listening to the siren's song.

If we're talking about something interesting, these villagers really had their eyes opened today. First, a group of people came to visit the female druid, and there were several women among them who were covered up completely. It's summer, aren't they afraid of getting heat rash?
Not to mention the stone giant that appeared later. By the way, could this be the legendary mountain giant?

These ordinary villagers never expected that they had actually guessed part of the truth. By this time, they had had enough of the commotion, and seeing that it was getting late and the other party was still in the newly built house, they were about to turn around and go home.

"Everyone, wait a minute, I have something to tell you." That was Jady's voice.

Upon hearing the shout, the villagers all stopped in their tracks and turned to look at the group of people approaching them.

Leaving aside how the female druid introduced the new "elf" and described to the villagers the bright future of having several druids living in the village, Ariana and Caitlin, who were being introduced to everyone, had never experienced such treatment before. They were a little at a loss, but also laughed along with the villagers.

Meanwhile, the eldest sister of the sirens, Syl, seemed somewhat distracted, her gaze wandering while occasionally glancing back at Zhang Yuan, who was watching the spectacle unfold.

Amidst the villagers' blessings and cheers, the "meeting" came to a successful close. Jady, smiling, turned and walked to Zhang Yuan's side.

"The siren issue is resolved; they'll be living here with me. What about you and Kegan? What are your plans?"

What are your plans? A certain time traveler has a hundred or a thousand thoughts in his mind, but how can he explain them to others?
“Faron is so big, I want to go and see it.”

Pfft~ The female druid laughed so hard she almost fell over, even harder than before. Pointing at Zhang Yuan, she said breathlessly, "Your mouth is even more unreliable than a bard's."

As night fell, the group, who had been enjoying themselves the day before, held another hot pot feast at the suggestion of Kagan, who was already eager to have some more. They ate and drank to their hearts' content.

After the banquet ended and everyone dispersed, Zhang Da Guanren shamelessly followed behind the three sea monsters, hoping to spend the night in the new house together.

Unexpectedly, Xier let her two younger sisters go into the house first, but then turned around and walked up to Zhang Yuan.

This is?

You, Cel, who always seemed to take care of your sister, are now seeing a handsome man and forgetting your sister, wanting to have him all to yourself?

The person, who had put all their pride into their act, began to seriously consider whether to give in to the siren's temptation.
“I…” Xierzhu’s lips parted slightly.

"It's okay. It's normal to not be able to say those three words right away. Girl, I'll give you time to say them slowly," Zhang Yuan said, looking at her with great tolerance and kindness.

"Boss, I want to learn arcane magic." The siren finally mustered up her courage.

???

"Wait! I didn't hear you clearly, say it again."

This time, Xier spoke very fluently, and Zhang Yuan heard it clearly.

The silence was not a brief one.

Zhang Yuan considered things cautiously, while Xier looked on with trepidation.

"Why did you have this idea?" the monk finally asked.

"I saw that Jady announced she would take us on as apprentices, but I'm more interested in your arcane magic than your druidic divine spells. I don't think I'm stupid, I wonder if I can..."

"Is it because of the spells I cast on you before?"

Unable to say anything against his conscience, Syl could only nod in agreement, but his expression turned ashen. Sure enough, Zhang Yuan refused the request: "I'm sorry, I can't grant your request."

"I... I didn't want revenge. I was just curious and wanted to understand that magical power," the siren tried to explain herself.

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "I'm not questioning your motives, but you also know that you sea monsters can't stay away from the water for too long, let alone come with me on an adventure in the wilderness."

"That's why I sent you here to live and entrusted you to Jady."

Xier nodded mechanically, but how could he hide the resentment in his eyes?
Looking at the stubborn siren in front of him, Zhang Yuan felt a pang of pity.

"You can settle down here for now, and you can also learn the Way of Nature from Jady. I believe you have the talent. Once I have a place to stay, you can become my apprentice there." He still gave her a promise, a distant hope.

This time, Hill nodded his head incredibly fast, like a chicken pecking at rice.

He patted her head and told her to go back to her room. After all that fuss, Zhang Da Guanren lost interest in any ambiguous things and simply went back to his tent by himself.

Before he could get away, his arm was caught by something. Zhang Yuan turned around and looked at Xier, who had not left. Xier was also looking straight at him, with both flattery and stubbornness in his eyes.

Well, as the boss, I always have to sacrifice something.

He put his arm around Syl and led her into the tent.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Ariana and Catherine were dumbfounded when they saw their eldest sister emerge from the boss's tent. They stared blankly at Syl, like two chicks with their necks being choked, as she straightened the boss's robe collar.

As soon as the two separated, Hill was immediately caught by the two girls, who kept interrogating her about what happened last night, as if they would torture her if she didn't tell the truth.

Ignoring the squabble between the siren sisters, Zhang Yuan led Kaigen to say goodbye to Jadi and gave her a communication crystal for future contact.

"Pretty nice magical item, thanks. But last night I think I heard something I shouldn't have heard?" The female druid smiled mischievously.

"Ahem~" Even with Zhang Da Guanren's thick skin, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after being teased like this. "Mutual affection, mutual affection."

After joking, Jady said seriously, "Don't worry, when you see them again, they might actually be three druids. Anyway, I wish you more beautiful scenery ahead, and may Sylvanas protect your steps."

He gave Jadi a gentle hug, waved, and turned to leave gracefully.

After packing up the tent and luggage, he handed the same communication crystal to Syl and took out a whole bunch of equipment, arming the three sirens from head to toe.

Considering the siren's low strength and high agility, three pieces of leather armor were the most suitable, and the Kagara Leather Armor was naturally given to Sir.

The scarab amulet, which had been replaced by Tyrande's apprentice necklace, was now hanging around Syl's neck.

As for weapons, there's not much we can do. The enchanted weapons are mostly greatswords and axes, with only a high-level rapier and an enchanted short sword, so it's hard to allocate them.

So he gave the high-speed rapier to Syl, the short sword to Catherine, and Ariana, who was slightly stronger, received an enchanted shield and a regular longsword.

It is indeed a bit wasteful, but who cares if he wants to?
Just like in a game, if Zhang doesn't arm his teammates or followers to the core, he won't be able to sleep well.
