At the beginning of October in the year 1360 of the Valley Calendar, in the Kingdom of Cormyr, on the shore of Long Lake, there was Dark Light Village.
This is a small fishing village. The low houses, dilapidated streets, and humid environment all illustrate the poverty here. The men here go out to fish early every morning, nine times a year. They have to work at sea for months, while the women are responsible for washing, cooking, drying goods, tailoring and repairing, and raising children.
This is a typical small fishing village. It is so typical that any lord or noble would always stay far away from the lowly people here except when they collect taxes every year. It is so typical that even the second largest city in the kingdom, Masanbai, is only in the 20s and 30s. Kilometers away, its prosperity cannot benefit even a little bit of this place.
On the contrary, any young person with the slightest ambition in the fishing village packed up their bags and left the fishing village. Most of the people who stayed in the fishing village were adult men over 28 years old, who were also the main component of the fishermen.
They all have one thing in common: bad throat, frequent coughs and phlegm, poor joints, and almost everyone has joint pain on rainy days. Their skin is always dark and red, and there are always varying degrees of chappedness.
If there is any building worth seeing in the fishing village, it is the Temple of the Sea Goddess in the village.
However, during this period, frequent reports of missing fish and sightings of terrifying creatures on the beach have made the villagers of Dark Light Town very frightened. They have recently reduced the number of fishing trips to the sea. A small number of fishermen who insisted on fishing at sea came back with dull expressions and body parts. They all have a very strong fishy smell that cannot be washed away no matter how hard they are washed.
In this tense environment, at noon, a purple dragon knight came to the fishing village.
This Purple Dragon Knight was wearing beautiful armor and a white robe. Judging from his appearance, he was very elegant. With his brilliant blond hair and gorgeous Purple Dragon emblem, he attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.
He took an attendant and a traveling horse and strode into the only tavern in the village. His attitude was extremely arrogant. Facing the waiter who came up, he pushed the waiter away, threw off the hem of his robe, and walked out. He took out two golden lion coins and threw them directly at the hotel owner.
"I want a baby fish, the biggest one, the freshest one!" The visitor said arrogantly: "Hurry up!"
"Okay, Your Excellency." The tavern owner immediately took the golden lion coin, bit it with his teeth, and smiled immediately: "I will arrange it right away. Do you want it smoked? Or roasted? Make soup?"
"No!" The visitor opened one leg and said carelessly: "I want to eat it raw!"
"Ah?" The tavern owner was stunned. Eat it raw?
"Your Excellency, eating raw fish will cause stomach upset and worms..."
"Where did all the nonsense come from? Just say it or not, right?" The visitor was still so arrogant.
The tavern owner thought that this was probably a noble knight who had never seen the market before and came to experience life. Anyway, he had already paid the money, so there was no need for the owner not to accept this lucrative business.
So the boss immediately sent someone to get the fish. After spending some time, a very large salmon, nearly 30 pounds, was placed on the table. It was even jumping around. It really fulfilled the customer's request, that is, it was fresh enough.
The knight was obviously very satisfied with the boss's arrangement. At the same time, a large group of villagers gathered inside and outside the tavern.
For the villagers, their life is very boring, day after day, year after year. The villagers with extremely poor spiritual life are interested in anything new, not to mention the various strange things that have happened in the village recently.
It was already afternoon, and the villagers were watching the noble knight, wanting to see him perform "Eating Big Fish Raw", and a man wearing a hood and a hood also came to the tavern on time. .
As soon as he saw so many people, his eyebrows furrowed subconsciously. He immediately took two steps back and wanted to leave, but found that the knight had already seen him and greeted him with a smile. After a moment of hesitation, he gave up and left.
It seems like a paladin?
The hooded man pulled over the tavern owner: "Who is this person? What's going on?"
"Maybe he's a noble knight nearby, right? He's such a rich man, sir. He wants to buy a big baby fish and eat it raw..." The tavern owner has been getting along with the hooded man for a month, and they are already familiar with each other: "Still Is it the same as before, sir?"
"...Just like before, damn, I hate crowds." The hooded man cursed and wanted to leave, but felt that he had been noticed by the knight, so he had to find a corner and sit down: "Hurry up."
"Okay sir." The tavern owner was used to it. Without saying a word, he asked the chef to bring the lunch that had been prepared. At the same time, he also took out a bag with several sandwiches in it, ready to be packed for the hooded man. Walk.
The hooded man just sat in the corner of the tavern, watching with cold eyes the noble knight rubbing his hands and shaking his legs, preparing to enjoy his "live fish dinner".
snort! Weak chicken! The hooded man secretly cursed, look at how stupid this noble knight is!
The elbows, steps, sitting posture, and the weapons on the waist were actually taken off and placed on the table!
Has this man really received training as a knight?
I'm afraid he's not a nobleman coming to experience life in the countryside, right?
If there was nothing wrong, he really wanted to chop off the knight's head, steal his things, and dedicate this murder to the great Holy Lord of the Black Sun!
This kind of young and stupid paladins are the most annoying. They like to release "detection of good and evil" everywhere. As long as they determine that you are evil, they can't wait to take action directly and bring all evil to justice. The key is that there are so many people at the scene. .
The hooded man cursed secretly and ate quickly.
But things soon changed.
When the noble knight took the long knife from the tavern owner amidst the cheers of the crowd, he plunged the blade into the belly of the salamander. While the salamander was struggling in pain, someone passed by.
It's a Dru Yin from the wilderness!
This Dru Yin had a ferocious face, with a pair of dead fish eyes filled with contempt for mortals. When he saw the noble knight actually eating like this, he became furious, pushed away the crowd, rushed in, and pressed the noble knight's head on the table. superior.
"Bastard!" Dru Yin yelled: "You, a disgrace to mankind, a demon of nature, a brother and friend of the devil in hell, a fanatic who tortures ladies, what kind of glorious knight are you? You actually torture creatures from the ocean like this. , you are simply the excrement of goblins, the saliva of gnolls, the maggots in the mouths of zombies, and the soul of a demi-lich is ten thousand times cleaner than this son of a bitch like you!”
"I will never allow you to do this. Now, apologize to this little creature from the ocean, quickly!"
The furious Dru Yin pressed the knight's head and roared filial piety.
The surrounding villagers were so frightened by this scene that they all backed away.
It's Drew Yin!
In the country, Druyin are divided into many types, and a few Druyin are kind. For example, Druyin who believe in the Mother Goddess of the Earth advocates making good use of nature, developing nature, giving back to nature, and achieving harmony between man and nature.
Most of the Druyin are neutral. They believe in the "balance of the whole system" and believe that any living thing must maintain "balance", just like a flock. If humans hunt in small quantities, the Druyin will not care, but If humans hunt a large number of sheep, the Dru Yin will come with anger, but if the number of sheep multiplies too much, the Dru Yin themselves will not hesitate to kill some to maintain balance, otherwise the grassland will It will become a desert.
There are actually many Druyin in Cormyr. Many Druyin believe that excessive deforestation in Cormyr has seriously affected the balance of nature. They have protested many times and even went so far as to eliminate human logging teams, cultivate orc tribes, and awaken tree people. Fight against humans.
There are also a very small number of Dru Yin who are extreme. How extreme are they?
There was once a group of extreme Dru Yin who believed that the existence of mortals itself was an extreme blasphemy to nature, so they planned to use a ritual to attract an asteroid to hit the country, completely purify the country, and return the country to the ice and snow age.
Naturally, this group of extreme Dru Yin did not succeed.
"Are you sick? What does it have to do with you if I eat fish?" The knight struggled fiercely, and he was also furious: "My lord, I think you are the one full of sins! You guys It’s up to me to pay back the numerous blood debts Dru Yin committed in the forest today!”
After saying that, the noble knight immediately threw a "Detect Good and Evil" on Dru Yin. As expected, a faint red light appeared on Dru Yin's body. This showed that although he was not an evil extreme Dru Yin, he killed Dru Yin. There are definitely many people or creatures.
"You are a handyman for a righteous idiot, an idiot among inferior humans, a fool who despises life, you will pay the price for this!"
If the two of them disagree, they will start fighting!
The hooded man looked at this scene with a sneer, and he suddenly felt a little happy.
Paladins are annoying, and so is Dru Yin.
He wished that all the paladins and druids in the world would die.
Now, seeing this scene of dog eating dog, the hooded man suddenly felt that this was such a happy thing!
Let's fight, fight, it's best to fight to the death.
I will dedicate this wonderful performance to the great Black Sun. My Lord will definitely like it!
The hooded man decided to enjoy the duel and held up his wine glass.
After hiding for so long, there is a pleasant thing, which is really happy.
A passionate idiot noble paladin and a radical environmentalist Dru Yin. Once the two sides started fighting, all the villagers ran out screaming, and even the tavern owner hid behind the bar.
Both sides were really rude. The paladin raised his hand and struck with a thunderous strike. The rumble of thunder was enough to shatter a person's eardrums!
Not to be outdone, Dru Yin raised his hand and released pieces of thorns, which fell from the air like raindrops!
The first time the two sides fought, the entire tavern was turned upside down.
Naturally, the battle also affected the hooded man. The power of the Thunder Slash and the patches of thorns made him subconsciously raise his hands.
But for some reason, just when he raised his hand, both parties seemed to notice him at the same time.
"Despicable human! It turns out you have a helper!"
"Damn Dru Yin, he must be yours!"
The aristocratic paladin who believes in justice and is passionate about justice, and the extreme Dru Yin, who has a hot temper and is easy to get on with, actually attack the hooded man at the same time!
what happened? Why are you coming at me?
The hooded man was shocked. It was too late to prepare spells at this time, so he could only draw his weapon immediately and prepare to fight.
Before he could get into his stance, a flash of lightning fell to the ground, covering the hooded man in the lightning!
Tzeentch Lightning Bolt!
His whole body was hit by lightning, and the hooded man's body stiffened for a while.
How could the noble paladin and the fiery Dru Yin let go of such an opportunity?
"Holy Slash!"
"Two wolves attack!"
Two attacks rolled towards the hooded man in two directions!
Outside the door, looking at the fleeing villagers, the servant of the hot-blooded idiot noble paladin pulled out his extraordinary weapon with moonlight flowing on the surface of the blade, his expression blank.
Plans, plans, are all part of the plan.
The hunting time has begun!
