Chapter 21: Bump

I had a dream about the past. Nostalgic, beautiful, lost past.

It was a late spring and early summer afternoon a long time ago, when he was a child.

The sky was blue and the sun was shining.

The smell of damp soil and crop grass by the river is faintly heard.

Her hair was ripe ears of wheat and swayed gently in the wind.

Her ears flew back.

Her fingers were slender and soft, trembling slightly.

She didn't speak to him, and walked slowly on the embankment, which was beautiful.

With a soft snort, a pain in his right hand woke Ranger Thomas Mosad from his stupor. Shaking his still-aching head, he struggled to his feet.

The index finger, middle finger, and ring finger of his right hand, which he had always cherished for archery, were broken backwards at a 90-degree angle, and the dislocated joints tingled.

"Hey, it's an old friend. The guy who came up and wanted to destroy my meal. "A white scar on his left hand from his previous time in Neverwinter.

Thieves are often at a disadvantage in head-on combat, but they are adept at sneak attacks such as flirting, blurring, snapping fingers, and hitting the back of the head. These moves weren't enough to take on heavily armed warriors, paladins, barbarians, and normal rangers, but they were enough to defeat Thomas, who focused only on bows and spells and didn't practice his melee skills much.

Before he got up, he glanced around, and the small room looked like a place where the spokesman was being held. Even though there was no light, he could see that there was an iron railing dividing the place into two sections of different sizes, that the walls and ceiling under his feet should be metal, such as lead, that the room smelled of carelessness, that half of an uneaten bread was thrown on the floor, and that a woman was curled up in a corner wrapped in a blanket.

"I'm sorry, Feihong, you bear with this!" said something to Xiao You, who he named "Yu Feihong", silently in his heart, and he pulled his fingers back to the original state.

The slight "knock" sound caused the woman to poke her head out of the blanket slightly, and asked in this direction, "Are you awake?" Thinking that no one would see it, she grinned happily.

It was a woman in her twenties, quite handsome, and even though she had been imprisoned for many days, she still had an extraordinary temperament.

"It's good that I wasn't killed by them. Although he knew that the other party could not see, Thomas still smiled and said in a kind tone.

"I heard this, one of them wanted to continue beating you up, and another shrill voice said you knew a Kuhl...... Master, I'm worried about retribution after hitting you. ”

"Oh, the one in front of you is my friend in Neverwinter, and the one in the back is probably the nezumi from Luskan that they colluded with. ”

Thomas went over and pinched the bread, but it wasn't black bread that could be used as a weapon, and he was a little disappointed.

"Looks like you're being treated well, spokesman. Thomas said, "You're probably the former, right?"

"No! ”

"That's his boss!" Thomas picked up the bread and pounded it on her head.

"Woo!" the woman hugged her head and wailed, then realized, "Can you see?" she wrapped the blanket tightly and curled up in the corner.

Seeing that this woman has a good face and figure, Thomas, who has already made up his hand, hugging and kissing, getting married, having children, going to school, buying a house, the corners of his eyes jumped, and his brain instantly made up a number of M TXT and a number of G RMVB and MKV.

However, she did not smell of heather, and Thomas could only blame her for being more vigilant.

He didn't know how sad the woman felt when she was dragged into the room like a dead dog.

Originally, she was looking forward to a handsome and radiant paladin day and night, holding a long sword and riding a white horse to heroically save beauty. turned out to see a weak chicken scumbag "uncle", who was thrown by her side at random to make an example of chickens......

"Uncle, since you can't do it. Do you have any other helpers or partners to help me...... We?" she said in a low mood.

"Yes, yes, like the captain of your guard, he should know I'm in. ”

"No, no, with his little effort, he was chopped into meat sauce by these people before he enforced the law!"

"Then I wonder, how did you become a spokesman without force?"

"Many of my family do business in Luskan and Northland, and my role as a spokesperson is conducive to driving the economic development of Brinshand?"

"Very well, this reason was enough for Brinshand in the past, but not now. ”

"What's going on now?"

"The last wave of caravans from Luskan was attacked, some monsters attacked towns and pedestrians without knowing who was manipulating, ultimatums from the self-proclaimed Akar Kaisso, and a man known as the Ice Witch who wanted the barbarians to surrender to her......"

"It seems that the situation is very serious," the spokeswoman said after a moment of deep thought, "but fortunately, Brinsander still has some savings, and it should be barely enough to recruit mercenaries and adventurers." No, there may also be consideration of the attrition of wooing dwarves and barbarians...... Even in the most dangerous times, you may have to ...... to other towns."

Nodding, Thomas felt that if this woman could get out, maybe she could really stabilize the situation in Brynsander and even Icewind Valley.

"Don't shake," he said reassuringly, "I actually have a way to get in touch with Mina." Mina, you know, is the white-horned knight of Rarui, who is very short, and holds a spear longer than her. ”

"I know, I know!" the woman became excited, "Sister Mina is the dream of all girls in the Northlands." ”

Seeing her holding her face and looking shy, Thomas was angry.

The most painful thing in the world is to use the prestige of her old enemy, and her prestige is better than she imagined.

But this time I was really too aggressive, I just wanted not to disturb the rest of the rest, but I couldn't help but startle the snake. In the end, he decided to send a message to Mina.

While still on the spot, he actually enjoyed some of the benefits of the Star Ranger - for example, texting the nearest Holy Unicorn cleric.

Obviously, the most recent one who excluded himself as a ranger was Paladin Mina.

"Cortana, text Mina for me and tell her that I'm at the location with the spokesperson - where are you, though?"

"If my gyroscopes and positioning devices are correct, I'm less than five meters away from where they dropped you. But there was no light, and I didn't dare turn on the flash for the camera to see. ”

Looking around, he had glanced at the other end of the room where his bow had been dropped, but now he had noticed that most of his belongings were there.

Compound longbows, quivers, hand crossbows, javelins, salt and spices, small hacksaws, kettles, compasses...... and shoes with daggers, all scattered in the corner.

"Sure enough, thieves and assassins like them are experts in hiding weapons, and my little tricks are of no use at all. ”

Now he doesn't have any weapons to use, and fighting thieves empty-handed is tantamount to death. In the past, there were often news on Earth that retired scouts or special forces were stabbed by criminals or even thugs with daggers and even sacrificed.

In fact, this kind of thing is not surprising at all, even a well-trained and strong martial artist is more than lucky in the face of emaciated armed gangsters, unless they can master the "qi". It's a pity that Fei Lun rarely has a strong person who cultivates qi, and most of them pay attention to pouring qi into weapons or inducing surrounding energy to produce various magic-like effects......

The warrior monk of Faerun, except for a member of a certain legendary squad, the strongest may be a certain brother of Aberdell, one of the top five descendants vying for the throne of Baal, who can press the fire giant, the blue dragon sword saint, the drow Sinnoh double cultivator and other strong people to the ground and rub them with human body.

If you cultivate to that point, you still won't be able to beat and hold a weapon!

Holy Avenger Cassomir, Flails of Time, Glenn of Sorrow...... Fists are simply not enough to compare with these divine weapons.

Because any civilian carries a dagger on his body, there are not many people in Fei Lun who are willing to learn to fight empty-handed to die, as the so-called Chinese saying "no matter how high your kung fu is, you are afraid of kitchen knives".

In the same way, an inch long and an inch strong, a long weapon will naturally be stronger and safer than a short weapon such as a dagger - and the weapon with the longest range is naturally a longbow.

Although he will have much more strength than those guys, Thomas has no intention of going up and playing grappling like in an action movie. In the face of those dagger players, even if you dodge into the attack gap, you will be stabbed by the wrist.

After thinking about it, I still feel that there is nothing I can do but wait for Mina to come to the rescue.

At that moment, a grinding sound of rubble was heard, and a light was cast from above, shining on the opposite corner of the room opposite where Thomas's belongings were stacked.

Then the baffle was carefully closed again, and the light was gone. Looking at the spokeswoman's ecstatic face, Thomas's heart sank: "I didn't hear the sound of armor metal colliding, which means that it is not Mina and the dwarf Slorin, and the gnomes will not develop the habit of closing the door for the enemy at will." ”

The man took out a glowing magic dagger and slammed it into the wooden table outside the iron fence, lighting up the room.

That's Thomas's favorite "apple killer".

"It's you!" Thomas thought for a moment, "What's your name?" it doesn't matter, you're just your brother's brother anyway. ”

"Bastard! My name is Davilyn!Not only are you ruining my good deeds everywhere, you don't even remember my name!" the man's smirkling face instantly distorted.

Thomas looked at him helplessly, completely unaware of why he was angry. In Thomas's impression, it was all the quarrel caused by this gang's misdeeds, and then he and the dwarves were just legitimate defense. Perhaps, the bad guys are so unreasonable, he thought.

"Damn, it's this condescending look again! The first time I saw you in Neverwinter, I wanted to trample you under my feet and gouge out your eyes!"

Wasn't his hatred for the dwarves who had killed more of his younger brother?, Thomas thought depressedly, feeling that the man was mentally ill.

"Then let's dig it. Although he had no power to resist, he still lost and hooked his fingers at Davilin.

"Bastard!" the other party was furious, took out the key and prepared to open the door.

Suddenly, his movements stopped, his eyes resting on the ranger's squirming toes and eager posture and muscles.

"I almost cheated by you again!" Thomas sighed looking at his self-proclaimed witty opponent, "When have I ever lied to you." That's your stupidity, stepping on the trap yourself - I haven't seen a few thieves in my trap except you!"

Because the enemy's strength and number are more than his own, Thomas, who is a ranger, of course uses all kinds of improvised traps and traps, and originally thought that he could only delay the time, but he didn't expect that he would really be hit.

With a "brush", a dagger flew over, and was dodged by the attentive ranger.

"Thank you. Thomas picked it up and said sincerely, "Either you come in and kill me, or I'll use this dagger to escape from prison." ”

"............" Davilyn stared at him for a moment, in fact, the ranger was already at the end of his crossbow, and he might not be able to hold it with a few more daggers. But the experience of the thieves in the past has taught him - long-range is not good for him, and daggers are no threat at all!

Taking a deep breath, the thief patted himself on the face and tried to calm down, he took out the poison sac and began to quench the dagger. The fierce gaze seems to say, you wait, I will go in and kill you immediately.

Thomas sighed as he looked at the thief, who was ready and taking out the key to open the door. He's ready to cast the last spell of the day.

"NΓ­-Lightweight-agus-soghluaiste, ionsaΓ­-deiseanna is light and flawless!"

Like a rehearsed dance, he made a left-facing feint that shifted his opponent's center of gravity and struck with his dagger. Then, with his head down, he dodged the dagger's back attack range with grace, drawing a semicircle around the enemy, and easily dodged out of the iron fence of the cell.

With a click, he locked the lock and pulled out the key.

"You're impulsive again, but that's okay. Because there will be no next time. ”

He pretended to be leisurely walking to the corner and picked up his longbow. Because the fingers of his right hand still hurt a little, he changed to the posture of pushing the bow with his right hand and pulling the string with his left hand.

"Shit-shit! don't you care about the speaker? aren't you here to save her?" said the thief, pointing at the woman with his dagger.

"First of all, I believe that she has an important use for you, otherwise you would not have let her be so intact with your ferocious appearance, secondly, she is not good-looking, and I have no problem if you just scratch a few lines on her face, and finally, even if you use her as a meat shield, my archery skills will not be crooked, you should understand. ”
