Section 202 Lambert's Little Storm on
readx;? While William was still in Maddale and stumbling with Tabari and a group of old fellows, Lambert, dozens of kilometers away, was a different story. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As a subordinate village of Maddalai, the people of Lambert, Aymanra, and the other four villages and towns do not know the true story of their main town, they only know that there is a mage tower in Medhdalai, and there is a mysterious nameless mage living in it, the nameless mage has a very strange temper, he or she allows outsiders to enter Maddalai, but no one is allowed to spend the night there, and it is said that anyone who violates this rule will be turned into a sand lizard by the nameless mage. However, the Nameless Mage has many "apprentices", and these "mage apprentices" often enter the six villages and towns to solve problems for the villagers and provide magical services such as healing injuries and diseases, purifying water, and so on.
I have to say that the bad taste of the old things of Sinlenar, a group of old monsters who stand at the top of the pyramid of power, all of them are comparable to the gods, but they always like to pretend to be nèn disguised as fledgling schoolboys and run out to deceive.
The "Councillor Kukaan" as Pelitru refers to him is one of the two dozen so-called "mage apprentices" who are highly respected among the villagers, trusting the nameless mage even if he has a "weird" temper. Because most of these villagers are Nasr, they are not as afraid of rejecting magic as the people from the outside, and they respect those who can use it, especially the Arcanists of Netharel.
In the era before the rise of Netheril, humans were just one of the hundreds of intelligent races, and it was the Arcanists of Netharel who led the human army in bloody battles and defeated one enemy after another, such as Jared Krono Manthel (a genius arcanist in Netheril's early days, his talent was even greater than that of Cassus, who was ambushed by the orc gods while defending the then Iluscan, and died of serious injuries a few years later), Iolem, the Undead? Owo, Casus... These arcanists have made great achievements in battle, and have made great reputations, they are the pride of human epics, the nightmare of blood and tears of alien races, their achievements have overwhelmed the gods, and their fame has shocked all planes, and they are revered by the world as the "Warlock King".
Humans who know the history of the past have always had an inseparable reverence for the Warlock King, and the titular lord of the Lonely Wasteland, the granddaughter of the undead, Morissa, often goes in and out of Meaddale, and occasionally takes a walk around any of the six towns, and although this hateful witch is not friendly, it always makes the people of the six towns angry. The cold old witch is well known for her relationship with Netherel, as well as her reputation for madness and arrogance, but it is found that Moressa is always deferential and polite when dealing with those "mage apprentices", which cannot help but make them think about the identity of the nameless mage.
As a result, the Naisr of the Six Towns has a peculiar sense of superiority over humans elsewhere, and the inhabitants of Lambert are particularly evident in this regard. Lambert is the last gateway into the Enoch Desert, and there should normally be a nameless mage's "apprentice" stationed here, but that "mage apprentice" hid in Maddalai as soon as a large fireball appeared in the sky, which made the inhabitants of Lambert feel a little uneasy for nearly a month.
That morning, the Halflings brought back the tragic news of the fall of Aymanra, and a terrified Tarun claimed that the killers were a terrible group of giants, and that he had exaggerated the number of the "giants" tenfold due to the halflings' penchant for bragging about them. Although many people know that halflings are unreliable in speaking, after all, in the eyes of halflings, human body is also considered "giants", and halflings think that only halflings are considered normal, but the news brought back by this little thing inevitably caused panic in the entire village and town.
Chaos began to erupt in Lambert's meeting place, with some ignoring the news that Tarun had brought back, believing that the halfling was just talking about grandstanding, others believing that spies should continue to be sent to investigate Aymanra one more time, and a handful of less courageous people who suggested taking refuge in Maddalai and asking for help, becoming the object of ridicule from others.
Unable to determine whether he should trust the big-mouthed Taron, Lambert's leader, Snowel, hesitated and said, "You need to go to Aymanra again." I'm not sure if that's the truth, and you'll have to bring back conclusive evidence to prove that you're telling the truth. Of course I'll send someone else with you, Baum..."
The timid halfling, unwilling to face that unknowable fear again, interrupted loudly with a scream, "No! I will never go back there! There are two dozen (a dozen of them equal) terrible giants, their waists higher than your shoulders, and their tomahawks wider than the panels of your house! I will never go to Aymanra again—"
Lambert's spies were now a little understaffed, and before that, they had sent not only Tarun to visit Aymanra, but also sent more spies to four other towns, and Tarun was the fastest of the five spies to return.
Not everyone in Faeron is qualified to be a spy or a wanderer, because the most important thing in the profession is not their combat effectiveness, but their ability to survive, and the wanderer must learn to ensure that he or she can come back alive in the midst of a harsh environment, terrible monsters and murderous enemies, followed by some simple intelligence gathering and analysis skills. Speaking of which, the survivability of the halfling wanderer is also the best in the entire lonely wasteland, even if he is surrounded by a group of sand wolves (the most cunning predator in the Enoch Desert, which can track prey from dozens of kilometers away), he can run away unscathed, but this coward's intelligence gathering ability is definitely a scum.
Snorel was not a decisive man, and he hoped that Tarun would take a reliable villager on another trip to Aymanra. But when Taron refused to go out again to find out the news, Snorel began to be torn between the times he missed the "mage apprentice" who was based at Lambert, a gentleman who was so wise that he could easily solve almost any problem.
After some consideration, Snorel decided to send a villager to Maddale to explain the situation and ask for some advice. However, not long after the villager departed, a second group of spies rushed back, bringing back the news that Patti had been destroyed and the dead villagers were eaten by unknown monsters, which frightened Snoraire, and he sent two villagers to Maddalai again, this time to ask for reinforcements.
Snorel had never felt so irritable, especially with a chattering little man in his ear, and Tarun had been constantly bragging and enriching his experience: "... I have never met such a strong and brutal giant, and they are three dozen in number, and their knees are above the bridge of your nose, and their great axes are as big as your houses—" The villagers listened to him brag with great interest, and whispered with a worried face.
The third and fourth groups of spies who came back brought back bad news, and the villagers of Lambert became more and more panicked. When the fifth and final group of spies brought back news of the destruction of the last town, a terrified Snorel decided to take refuge in Maiddale with all the villagers. !。
