【Original】Neverwinter Night Doujin: Mask of the Evil One (5)

"When my plot succeeded, Vanswick was hanged. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info I left Neverwinter with Erebeth and the others. ”

"I won't forget what happened when I woke up that day and walked out into the hall. The praise from the people around me was exciting, but for me, the biggest thing was Erebes, who was hurrying towards me at that time. ”

"I know what that means. Now, she needs me. I'm no longer the better of the adventurers I used to be. ”

"Sure, I know there's no way I'm going to take Vanswijk's place in her mind right now, but that's a good start, isn't it?"

"We all know that in this world, male power has not prevailed over women's rights. And the reason for that, the answer is simple, power. Without strength, there is no status. Without strength, there is no respect. Female tyrannosaurus rexes don't need to please males, they are more robust than males. The lionessess had to endure their plight and watch the new lion king bite her own child to death. Drow's need for a feminist movement is because of Rose's gift. ”

"And now the balance of power between me and Erebes has changed subtly. ”

"Strength is not just swords or magic or psionic or magical. For a person, his possessions, his reputation are also part of his strength. ”

"Now, Erebes' reputation has taken a huge hit. Although there is no evidence that she is also involved in the conspiracy against Neverwinter. However, the matter of her lover, Vanswick, is already closed. And I, as the savior of Neverwinter, have a reputation like the sky. ”

"I don't know what Vanswijk won Erebes's love. I don't plan to emulate him. I'm not an elf, I don't have their unique delicate emotions. In my opinion, love is not a dinner party, not a flower before the moon, not a poem and a painting. Love can't be so elegant, so calm and polite, so gentle and frugal. Love is war, the violent action of one person to conquer the heart of another. What I want is conquest. ”

"Of course, I can't just use magic and scimitar. Knock Erebeth to the ground and ride on top of her. That time has passed. Nowadays, what men wear on women is not the heavy shackles of yesteryear, but glittering jewelry. Men are evolving, and I can't go back to the caveman era. Gone are the days of popping out of a hole, knocking a target down with a stick and dragging them back into the hole. I don't believe that there are still people today who can win the hearts of the opposite sex in such a way. ”

"I'm going to take my time. I didn't know what to do with Vanswijk, didn't I take the chance, and I would have been able to find the right time to defeat her. As much as I have affection for Erebes, I don't intend to fall at her feet. I want the opposite. But in the affairs of men and women, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. I believe that I will be the final victor. ”

"Although I have a very good impression of Erebes who was walking briskly towards me at that time. But the news she brought was not good. Although the conspiracy against Neverwinter has been put to an end this time. But the black hand behind the conspiracy remains. And Neverwinter doesn't even know exactly what's behind it. ”

"The purpose of our journey from Neverwinter to Port Leicester is precisely to find out what kind of ancient human cult is in its mouth. As we continue to go deeper, we are more and more amazed by each other's energy. The enemy has tried to intercept me more than once. But they failed without exception. I'm not like the village thugs!"

"Sledney Vastaal goes forward bravely/His thoughts are blood-red, his teeth are white/His enemies make peace, but he brings them death/The most beautiful Sledney Vastar." ”

"I remembered the hymn again. A hymn that only I use and that only I know. Although the idol I praised is no longer there. But now that I am a powerful druid, I still feel a lot more confident when I read this hymn from the past. ”

"I will never forget what liberated me from that repressed situation. I will not forget what embraced me and gave me strength. ”

So, once again when I was confronted with a shadow that seemed difficult to fight again, I was reminded of my childhood hymns, praising the idol, the god. ”

"A lot of druids or rangers have their beliefs. But for me, neither Pan's piccolo nor Melikai's unicorn could appeal to me enough. I think my belief is probably in nature itself. And the idol of childhood is an embodiment of nature, a symbol. ”

"Leicester Harbour is a small place. Although there are various buildings such as shrines here, this place is not as good as Neverwinter, and naturally there is no place like the Moonstone Mask. ”

"But I don't care, right now, there is a greatest woman who comforts me. That's nature. I've been in the vast man-made environment of Neverwinter for too long. I am delighted to have the opportunity to get back close to nature. ”

"Of course, nature means the law of the jungle, and it means the lack of artificial order. So, here, in addition to inquiring about cults, there are many more things that I have to deal with. I just finished solving a werewolf thing a while ago. Right now, I'm busy hunting down a fugitive named Wayne. Both of these events reminded me of the werewolf named Gabriel Ernest that I had hunted down with Master. ”

"I noticed that it seemed that the whole region was in chaos and there were violent clashes everywhere. But some things are isolated, such as the werewolf incident. Others are related, such as when I was looking for the missing peasant woman and accidentally found a cultist near the leader of the enemy. While handing over his diary to Erebeth and calming Erebeth with his constant nightmares, I suspect that the forces behind the scenes are far greater than we think. ”

"The hunt for Wayne went well, but when I heard what he had to say, I decided to release him. Just cut off his ears to receive the bounty. If it is legally, I will probably pronounce a sentence on him for some kind of excessive defense or something. But in my opinion, his behavior is reasonable. I can imagine the tragic fate of his mother at the time, and I don't need to say what the rough humans would do to the elves they caught. The tragic fate of women, and it seems to be eternal...... From this, I can even deduce why there are so many men who hate. They don't want to go through the dark scene of so many unfortunate ladies - being knocked unconscious and mopping in the field......"

When word spread that Wayne had been laid, the first of the fugitives finally took his revenge. He kidnapped the mayor's daughter. As I made my way to the pit, I couldn't help but wonder about my experience in Leicester Harbour. There are so many things that speak to me about one thing: women. ”

"I don't know much about women. My master, he's a misogynist. In his eyes, women are inconsistent and pretentious, vain and easy to be in the limelight, irrational and unbelievable. He had such a perception that seemed to have something to do with his old experience. And when I read all kinds of books to understand the huge, ingenious and intricate world of human society. I have read that there is a poet who says that what is lighter than anything, and finally he says that there is no more lighter than a woman. And I've read about a philosopher who said something like that to wear a whip before meeting a woman. As for the folk sayings, it is even more interesting. How much resentment was filled with the words of the Dancers. ”

"But in my opinion, from these things that I experienced in Leicester Harbour. It can only make me deeply sympathize with the tragic fate of women. Yes, in our world, women are not necessarily subordinate to men. They have their careers, their legends, their leaders, their gods. However, they will always have an extra layer of misfortune than men. Needless to say, the story of Wayne's mother was anything but rosyne. What will happen to the water elf who relied on her seductive ability if her spell fails? The old witch Setara's pursuit of her appearance, the temptation of Deli Stanran...... Even Constance's immoral blackmail is embarrassing to me in hindsight. What else can she do in the face of my threat? Won't she obediently return her belongings? What is the use of her cunning, her courage?"

"I can't help but think of Erebeth again. I killed her lover. And now she sees me as someone to rely on. Whenever I turned in evidence against the cultists, I took the opportunity to talk to her. And she was happy to confide in me, she told me about the nightmares she had, and her past, how she became a paladin. Occasionally, she would bring up Vanswijk. I replied cautiously to her. Step by step, she gained her trust. Eventually, she announced to me that she really considered me a friend and gave me her ring. At that moment, my heart fluctuated like the waves of the sea. Even the moment I was declared a hero for saving Neverwinter, I wasn't so excited. I know very well that the friend she is talking about is not the kind of friend who can be chuang, but it is definitely not a friend card like a good guy card. Her ring is not meant to be lovely, but it also carries many of her emotions. I, the murderer of Van Swijk, gained her approval in this way. In the next step, I will pry open her heart and make more ...... What would Vance Svek think if he knew about my plot and saw what was going to happen? He would hate Van Swijk and chant that famous phrase from the Dancers. Or will you deeply sympathize with Erebes's fate?"

"For the mayor's daughter, Shaldrissa. I don't have a good impression. She was too naïve, too naïve, too immature. I remember those things that happened when I started running into her. Of course, I don't like her, but I don't have that kind of grudge against her. I don't think it's unacceptable for those naïve naivety to appear in such a girl. ”

Despite this, in addition to sympathy for her experience, I also have a different feeling, a sense of satisfaction after seeing a naïve person fall behind. ”

"Isger, the fugitive who kidnapped the mayor's daughter, has taken refuge in a mine. It was full of his henchmen. But what's the use? In the face of my blades and magic, they are either electrocuted into charcoal, or decapitated through their hearts. I went straight to him. ”

"In the face of absolute strength, intrigue has no effect. This cunning criminal was easily defeated by me. Then I teased him like a cat teasing its prey. Give him false hope, and watch him cut off his ears in pain. Then, as he turned to leave, I dropped my sword. ”

"After dealing with him, I opened the cell door and saw Shardlisa, covered in bruises. She was clearly devastated. Her spirit was as tattered as her clothes. Saw me. She actually wailed that she said not to hit her, she would do anything. I can imagine what the orcs were doing to her. And seeing her begging in front of me, I actually had the idea that I would simply follow suit once. ”

"But I didn't do anything after all. Just comfort her and clothe her as in the old story. Then take her away. It's like the old-fashioned story of a hero saving beauty. In fact, I did exactly what I did in those romances. According to the romances that Sheldrisa used to be so infatuated with, and which caused her to get to such a point. While recalling the kind of stories I heard as a child, I guessed with some malice that she would react when she heard that kind of vulgar romance in the future. ”

"After dealing with the last fugitives, I got up and went to Luskan. This city of chaos. “

"Luscan's situation is worse now than it was in Neverwinter. Several archans fought for power. And the innocent citizens naturally suffered. The ability of the Balaam Grand Commander to Ra Zhuangding was especially better than Chang Kaishen. He directly turned the forcibly conscripted people into rat people, and he was not afraid of the other party's disobedience after that. ”

"In this chaotic place, I had to fight with my spirits. The streets simply turned into trenches. There was strife everywhere, and there was peace in only a few places. As I fought my way to the temple and finally made it to the temple, bad news struck me. ”

"The people in the temple are talking about the looting of the temple. I don't care about that at all. The news that hit me was about Erebes. Spy Leader Irion told me she was missing. ”

"This news hit me hard. Luckily, according to Erion, Erebeth had gone with armor and weapons. Otherwise, I would have put aside everything I was doing and go all out to find her whereabouts. ”

"When I heard the news, I wondered, why did Erebes run away? I'm sure she's not the kind of boring little girl who would take out this kind of thing. There must be a reason for her departure. There must be more things hidden behind it. However, the evidence is insufficient. I can only conclude that she wanted to avenge Vanswijk or clear her name. ”

"Regardless, Luskan is a city that once thrived. Buildings like the Moonstone Mask are also available here. I was amazed at why the brothel had not been destroyed, but when I met the proprietress I understood everything. She's really a person with quite a lot of means. I saw that the soldiers belonging to the two commanders were able to drink peacefully in this building—of course, there was tension between them, and there was a clear line between them. But after all, there was no fighting. ”

"The brothel is one of the best places to gather information, and it's inevitable that men will leak out in that atmosphere. Aside from the normal things that a person would do in that kind of place - the news of Erebes' disappearance made me depressed, and I had been tempted a little more by the previous time to vent. I also did my job to help get the baby back -- thankfully not a stillborn child. Things like retrieving the ring have cultivated their trust in me. Eventually, I learned through a prostitute where the two archons were hiding. ”

"The rest of the matter is easy to say, I have bloodied a great commander's den. Then he carried his head to another archon. After getting the money, I simply cleaned up the nezumi leader's den and cut off his head. It's easy to say, but for me, the experience was quite dangerous. Balaam is far more dangerous than Kurzer. Those athletic nezumi are a big threat. They are ferocious and nimble. I had to summon animal companions and many more natural allies - all felines, from leopards to panthers to lions to tigers. Using cats against mice is probably the right thing to do. ”

"I didn't just destroy these two archons out of a sense of justice. They have been looting for many years, and the wealth they have accumulated is considerable. However, I am not entirely trying to eliminate them because of interests. Their atrocities are truly outrageous. Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp. The law of the jungle is a common thing. The struggle for power between the two archons is not really a big deal, and similar things happen again and again in the world. ”

"But the two archons are insane, and they are doing things that cross the limits of human conscience. ”

"After finally cleaning up the trash, I also entered the main tower of the Arcane Brotherhood with the pass that Erion forged for me. ”

"I know there's definitely a reason for Luskan's inexplicable chaos. Those archons have been here for years, and they don't go crazy for no reason. I'm sure I'll be able to find clues inside the tower. ”

"But what I found first hit me hard again. I'm talking to the envoys who came to the Arcane Brotherhood. Heard a caution that I couldn't believe. An army against Neverwinter has been formed. And Erebes joined in. Erebeth!Join the army against Neverwinter!Why don't they say that the Spirit Suckers and the Gisyankees are allied?Why don't they say that Erebeth has gone underground to become the mistress of a dark elf family? I suspect they've found out I'm serving Neverwinter and are deliberately trying to test me about Erebes. ”

"But during the search, I found a room, a room where Erebeth lived. I looked closely and found a copy of Erebes' diary. I'm familiar with her notes. After reading that, I have to admit that Erebeth has indeed betrayed Neverwinter. ”

"At that time, my mind was in a mess. I don't have any feelings for Neverwinter. Look at the people I instigated to hang the innocent Vanswijk. All I could do was a contemptuous smile. Heroes lead the moles, that's how it is. Where can I find the scoundrels? I serve Neverwinter, just for Erebeth. And now, Erebeth has taken over the other side of Neverwinter. Should I follow her?"

But I quickly discarded that idea. I said to myself that Erebes's betrayal was, in a sense, a godsend. This is my best chance to overpower Erebes. Even if I follow Erebeth now, she may not be able to accept me in the midst of conflict. I don't want to run around because of her orders and build her feelings for me like I used to. Even if she has fallen into the darkness. I still can't believe that someone like her would reward me with a kiss for slaughtering the people of a village. ”

"I made up my mind, and simply took out my scimitar. Start with the envoy, and then kill layer by layer. I found a teleportation stone that allowed me to skip certain floors. But I didn't do that. I killed layer by layer. Basically, there is no living mouth. What I'm going to do now is Liwei. ”

"As I reached the top floor, I also met Erebes, whom I hadn't seen in a long time. I don't know if she saw me in the distance. But I saw her fall clearly. With the resounding oath between them, Erebeth's armor grew black, just like her heart. And the long hair that used to be neatly dressed fell apart. And so much more......"

"As the ritual ended, I knew that the Paladin Erebeth was gone, and that the only one left was the Black Guard. Looking at Erebes's transformation, I couldn't help but sigh. Is this one of the fates of the paladins?"

"I can't stop the ritual, and I can't stop Erebes. I can only take my breath out on the lizardmen who are left behind. ”

"When they're all smashed, I raise my scimitar and vow to take back Erebeth. No matter how much resistance there is ahead, no matter how much power the person behind the scenes has. ”

"Vanswick is dead, will Margrim still live?"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― probably another crab is not as good as a crab。 It's probably because I was too far away from playing Neverwinter Nights and seeing what to do. Well written......

If you're familiar with Saki, a British writer, you'll probably be able to see something in the novel. I've recently read some of his short stories, and I've done a lot of it. In my opinion, it is better than O. Henry. Vera, a sixteen-year-old girl called a little slut by people in the book, is quite cute. I strongly recommend his novels to those who haven't read them.

Also, recommend a novel from the web. Search for "Hypocrite" at the starting point. It's still pretty well written. And the author is diligent and updates quickly. Originally, I looked like it was average, but from the beginning of the orc attack, it became exciting. Especially later, a very interesting female paladin Kama appeared, which was quite cute. I have a lot of love for that character. Oh, I'm not a Paladin, but I have to point out that the character is really fascinating. And in a sense, the relationship between the protagonist and her is exactly the problem I write about in this novel.

I'm a very lonely person......

PS: It's so cold in the north now, the snow has fallen, and the heating hasn't come yet. I'm just going to have an electric heater...... Suddenly, I remembered.,Someone sent a picture of Japan's Lori still dressed in short skirts in the heavy snow.。 And say, are all Japanese loli monsters? Actually, that's the same in China. When the boys in our school thought it was cold and put on their trousers, the girls still wore ......
