Section 181 Lies
readx;? The next day, William's face had regained its calm and breezy appearance, as if he had forgotten the embarrassment of last night, of course, as for what he thought in his heart, no one could guess except William himself. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info{fastest text chapter to read} But every time William saw Yasuna's figure swaying in front of his eyes, he couldn't help but have a flame in his lower abdomen, and the corners of his eyes twitched even more.
Walking on the desolate saline dirt road, the surrounding thorny bushes gave pedestrians clear guidance on the way, except for a black sè pegasus, William and they lost all their animal power, which forced several people to walk slowly.
The road is long, and the passers-by are like wisps, and there is never a shortage of merchants on the black road to run for life, and even the turmoil of the gods cannot stop them. William's family had been away from Aimanra for less than a day, when a caravan came up behind them.
A large merchant group from the direction of Locktown has a scale of more than 100 people, and at least half of them are bodyguards and mercenaries in charge of guarding, of course, the merchants themselves cannot be ignored. These brokers, who are accustomed to the wilderness, are always facing the threat of goblins, robbers, monsters, and beasts, and they are basically tough men who can endure hardships and endure wind and frost, and their experience in slashing and slashing with swords is no worse than that of professional mercenaries, and there are even a few tough guys with excellent skills.
In this large business group, there are several "acquaintances" that William knows, businessmen of the "Belt and Road Party", Lehr Boseri, the "coward", halfling Jace, and many mercenaries and merchants who have spoken to each other.
It was a little embarrassing for the others to see William again, but this did not prevent them from showing the others their "closeness" to William's family, and Le Bosseri greeted him with a surprise at first sight: "Is it really Mr. William? I thought you were already in the desert." William shook his head and explained, "We had some trouble in Aimanra the other day, and a strange group of reptiles attacked us at night. We lost all our strength and most of our supplies that night, and therefore had to delay our entry into Enoch, and if we could, I would like my family and I to join your caravan. ,...
"Of course, it is our honor to be able to travel with Mr. William" William offered to join the caravan, and there was no reason for him to disagree, but when William said that he had been attacked in Aymanra, he was taken aback, and then he was surprised.
At this time, a scream of anger suddenly came from the side: "Damn! You bad cat, let me go quickly!" Xiao Sha'er, Xiao Sha'er, stop your cat...... Everyone looked up, but they all laughed, and William couldn't help but laugh after seeing it. Speaking of Jace's own bad luck, halflings are born with a small short tui, and some can't keep up with the footsteps of everyone when they walk on weekdays, Jace often rides a large riding dog to walk, his riding dog is very majestic, at first glance it looks quite a bit of a mastiff taste, and can fight with jackals without falling behind.
Jace is often ridiculed because he is played by cats and insects, and the William brothers and sisters even concocted a song [Song of the Coward] and sang it all the way, although the halfling people do not have the heart to retaliate (in this regard, the halfling race can be called the wonder of the mainstream intelligent races of Feiren, and it is also the philosophy of life for them to survive and reproduce), but it is inevitable that they will be embarrassed.
It's a pity that Jace doesn't know that cats and cats are famous beasts and young beasts in the Northland Snow Fields, and adult Snow Lions can be called the overlord of the Arctic Ice Plains after the White Dragon, and they are only slightly inferior to human intelligence, even if the frost giants encounter them, they have to retreat. Although the cat is still young and smaller than the riding dog, it is by no means something that such domestic dogs can bully, especially with the assistance of the two "little accomplices" of Mi Sha'er and Miluna, who escaped with the tail between the tail in just one face, and then chased the poor halfling to practice its still childish pounce and bite.
The cat and cat insect that is not yet a year old really does not have the ferocity of a beast, but is more like a cute cat with a large size, and it is really funny to watch it play with a halfling. William shook his head and said, "Millet Sha'er, be optimistic about cats and cats, don't always let this little naughty bully Mr. Jace." William didn't say this, but the people around him laughed even harder.
Jace got up from the sand, his face covered in tawny dust, and he kicked a little tui that laughed at him the loudest, leaving a tawny footprint, and then ran to William with a little short tui. Jace tilted his head back to William and said, "Big man, you should take care of your cat, it's not a good idea to let that bad thing run around outside." ”
As he spoke, Jace began to pat the dust on his body vigorously, and the fine dust suddenly flew up in a large area, but it made everyone in front of him eat a lot of dust. William looked at the halfling who ran away happily after the prank was successful, but the dust that filled the air could not get close to his body, as if there was an invisible shield separating them. William began to appreciate this little thing, of course, it didn't belong to the "base... , the kind of one.
The huge caravan didn't make much of a big deal because of William's accession, and Leer Bosseri led William to say a few words with one of the leaders of the caravan, a large merchant from Waterdeep named Palitru, and introduced him and his family. In fact, because William left a great reputation inside and outside Locketown, everyone who fought there had basically heard of the deeds of his murderous family, and in this troubled world, no one would refuse the opportunity to walk with the strong, especially a strong man who had principles and abided by the "rules". Therefore, William's family was easily accepted by the caravan.
The caravans consisted mostly of Lothmons and pack horses, but because of the long journey, they had to save the physical strength of the livestock, but only a few rode on horseback, and most of them went on foot. Originally riding a docile Lothmon, Leer Boseri now walks on foot like most people, because William is also walking at his side.
"Aymanra, no wonder I didn't see a single person when I went there yesterday, it turned out that he was attacked by a monster. It originally belonged to a group of remnants of the Flying City that was said to come from the ancient Flying City where Sèriel fell, and they established many settlements around the Great Desert of Enoch, with their own unique cultural system and arcane powers. I don't know what kind of monsters they had to abandon the village, and even Mr. William couldn't help them?" "Abandon the settlement? No, everyone in the village died, and no one survived that night, except for me and my family. William gave a rough account of what had happened that night, the rebellion of the sand lizards, the surprise attack of the underground lizardmen, the strength of the giant monster, and the serious injury of Yasuna. Of course, he tampered with and embellished Abrando's death, after all, according to Miluna, there are still many people in this world who can know Abrando's identity as a sage, and killing a sage is definitely a big event that shocks the world.
"A mysterious mage rescued us, drove away and banished the beast. A beautiful female Xing, she has beautiful silver hair...... "William easily pulled the silver-haired sisters out of the top tank, saying that the name of the Elastro sisters is still very useful in the acre of three points of land in Faerun.
"Oh my God, you mean the silver-haired mage? I don't know which lady it is, Erastro or Helen, or the silver-haired sister at this time in Storm?、, Erastro of Silvermoon City, Hiren of Shadowvale and Simbu of Agalaron are the most famous, but Shemboo is known for her ferocity and cruelty (especially for the red-robed mage of Theon), and the reputation of the storm is just beginning to spread around the Northlands and Shadowvalley, with Lyra having just been rescued by Aurosan, and Dove and the other not yet famous.
William pretended to put on a regretful expression and shook his head: "I asked, but she didn't say, but very rudely concealed her identity." But the silver-haired lady drove a chariot burning with magical flames, and the chariot looked fantastic...... "William's lie was very successful, and soon the people in the caravan basically knew the story, and they didn't doubt the truth of the story, just like no one would doubt the strength of the silver-haired lady, for most people, the power of magic is mysterious, and those who can master it are terrifying and unpredictable. The only thing at issue is the identity of the silver-haired lady, and many people debate whether "she" is Erastro or Heeron, but there are generally more people who support Erastro.
Of course, William's lie was not without trouble, and several leaders of the caravan immediately came to the door when they heard about it, and the first one was Palitru from Waterdeep. The great merchant of great prestige, representing his companions, stared at William with wide eyes, as if trying to find some flaw in him, and Peritru asked, "Mr. William, is everything you say true? I mean everything that happened in Aymanra, as you say." "Of course it's true, gentlemen. I swear by the name of Temorrah, the god of fortune, that it was a terrible night, and if it had not been for the rescue of a powerful and mysterious lady, I am afraid that my family and I would have died there along with the villagers of Aymanra. William swore his position.
Ordinary people may ignore an abandoned village, but the leaders of these caravans are never careless, and some of the big caravans are capable people, and some experienced mercenaries can even deduce the course of the battle based on some battle relics. What William said was almost not much different from their inferences, which undoubtedly added to the credibility of William's words.
Peritru went back and consulted with a few of his companions for a while, then returned to William and said, "Mr. William, now we are in trouble, a big trouble. We need your help to ......"!.
