After leaving Friendly Arms, the rest of the journey became very boring.
The horse resources in the world of Faerûn are basically controlled by the lords and nobles. There is no large-scale horse breeding and horse breeding mechanism, and the horse resources themselves are tightly tied to castles and land. This made it difficult for ordinary people to own horses, and Lu Yuan's dream of traveling south by carriage came to nothing.
Several people carried their luggage and walked for several days before arriving at Belgoost, which almost drove Lu Yuan crazy. Because the whole journey is less than 30 kilometers!
If it hadn't been for the night before leaving, Gillian and the legendary old man quietly found him and exchanged some rare spell information in the hope that he could guide and teach Chanem along the way, maybe he would have pulled Evening Star along. They rode away together on the Phantom Pony.
Along the way, you encounter goblins, bandits, and goblin bandits. Creatures like goblins in Faerûn are just like weeds in other worlds. Whether you think about it or not, they are there! So there is no need to look for it, you will definitely find it. From forcing Chanem to chop the goblin, and then watching him cry like a little girl... to him being able to bravely pierce the goblin like a skewer, and remind Imoen not to spill blood.
It only took three days.
Amidst the complex looks of shock, disgust, confusion, etc. from Jahira and others, Lu Yuan walked freely while reading the spell information.
What's so strange? What's unacceptable? Isn't it just shock therapy?
"Xiao Cha!" Lu Yuan suddenly raised his head from the sheepskin and shouted.
Chanem trembled, but still came to him obediently, "What's the matter?"
"You are already a qualified adventurer, and I think you can take on more important responsibilities! So..." Lu Yuan patted Chanem on the shoulder, although on the surface, Lu Yuan looked only five or six years older than him. But from the experience along the way, no one doubted that Lu Yuan was a good teacher, but a little evil.
"You're the captain now!"
"Show your identities!" Badolan, the current guard captain of Naxikai, stopped several people who entered the town of Naxikai and said. There was something wrong with the original Commander Bregi, and Bardolan was his successor, a very capable and responsible young man.
"I am Chanem, and these are my team members." As agreed, everyone who gave leadership to Chanem along the way remained silent and allowed him to come forward to negotiate. This young man did not disappoint everyone. He has been growing rapidly and now looks like a captain.
Bartram looked at these people suspiciously. They were all young, and half of them seemed to have elven blood. There was also a hooded mage with an unclear face standing behind the crowd, holding a piece of parchment. Watching with relish. Along the way, whether he encountered landslides, swollen rivers, goblins, or Warcraft, Lu Yuan acted as if it was none of his business and was in a "fishing" state, minding his own business in studying spell materials.
You know, Gillian and Elminster also gave him a lot of information. On the surface, they asked him to continue to guide Chanem. In fact, it was just a reward for taking care of the children. Everyone understood this tacitly.
Speaking of which, it’s time to talk about Chanem’s profession. Yes, a mage and a warrior work part-time. His spell talent is average, but his warrior talent is very high. He seems to prefer to charge on the front line, and his spells are also better at strengthening some of his own magic. Is this a magic warrior? The weapons are spears and longbows, and the swords are also used well under Evening Star's training. A very familiar combination, isn't it? Speaking of which, although Jaheira and Khalid have been running in the group for several years and are quite famous adventurers, compared with Mu Xing and Lu Yuan, these people are just rookies. Muxing acted as a swordsmanship coach for Chanem, Jaheira and Khalid along the way. Lu Yuan taught Aimeng various skills such as trap making, hiding, climbing trees and climbing into houses, etc., and also taught Chanem magic. He is mainly self-study and he doesn’t have that much time.
"You, I want to see your appearance, please lift your hood." After hesitating, Bardolan decided to check on the dangerous-looking mage. He always felt that this guy would cause big trouble.
"Stop it, Badoran! If you want to serve as captain for a longer time, don't cause trouble you can't bear!" Lu Yuan impatiently raised his hood. He grew up here and later returned. Having lived here for a while, he knows 30% to 40% of the people here, but at least 70% to 80% of the people know him. Badoran's best weapon is the halberd he asked him to forge. He is also considered a semi-hermit in Naxikai and has a very high status.
"Ah, it turns out to be Master Lu, I didn't...I'm sorry. And welcome back! Really, I think everyone will feel relieved when seeing you. We have been worried about Anm calling, and you suddenly disappeared a few days ago , No, it’s... oh, it’s leaving. Please forgive me, I don’t even know what to say. Anyway, welcome back!” Guard Captain Bardolan didn’t expect that the mysterious hooded mage turned out to be Lu Yuan, and he was so excited. He didn't listen at all to what Lu Yuan said just now.
Lu Yuan himself didn’t know that the self-propelled waterwheels he created, the windmills on the roof indicating the direction and strength of the wind, the paper airplanes that flew around the house and sang...etc., how much these things shocked the Naxikai people. At the same time, there is also confidence - "We also have our own Archmage." So Lu Yuan's sudden departure (in order to test his wild survival skills, he ran to Belgost in the middle of the night and never came back), caused quite a panic.
"I joined the 'Sword and Rose' adventure group. If you have anything to say to my captain," Lu Yuan pointed at Chanem impatiently, put on his hood and continued to read the information.
"What happened to the name 'Sword and Rose'? Who agreed! And he pushed the matter to me so casually, what kind of captain! Did he treat me as a handyman? It must be so, right?" Chanem He complained fiercely in his heart, but he had to go up and continue the negotiation. When the guard captain Badolan saw Lu Yuan's usual indifferent attitude, he began to become happy - it seems that the iron ore problem is indeed not a big problem. Look, Master Lu is too lazy to say anything.
"I heard that Naxikai has been in a lot of trouble recently. That's why we are here. During this period, please give us orders as much as possible." Chanem continued.
"Haha, welcome to everyone in the 'Sword and Rose' adventure group! We have encountered many problems and need capable adventurers to solve them. Please come with me. I can take everyone in the adventure group to meet the mayor. I believe it. Mr. Bai Lang will also be happy to see you."
"I told you it's not the name, bastard!" Chanem continued to complain in his heart.
In fact, the reason for such crazy complaints was that he was close to collapse along the way!
Everything comes from damn love! But this is a kind of indescribable bitter love, sadomasochism, and fruitless spiritual love!
Can he say that although Imoen likes him very much, he prefers Sister Yu, and at the same time he longs for Jaheira and Evening Star, two top wives! ? Every day I see them pairing up with each other, happily getting into the tent, and doing such and such things with the silent barrier on, I can't help but shed tears. Damn, why are there so many people in our group who can cast spells?
Forget about warriors like Khalid. If a weak mage like Lu Yuan doesn't use magic, I can fight five of them with one hand! The magician's physical strength is so poor, shouldn't he be squeezed out early? Shouldn't the female ranger be dissatisfied with her desires and cheat on her? You girl, the mage's face is glowing every morning, and the ranger is weak and weak. What a fuss! He must have used some evil pink magic from the little pink book, right? !
It's so... enviable, you bastard! You don’t even acknowledge it or teach it to me, you bastard! Even if I learned it, there would be no use for it, bastard...
"What's wrong with him?" Badolan pointed at Chanem who huddled in the corner, gnashing his teeth and mumbling to himself from time to time, and asked in surprise, "Why is it like this just after talking?"
Half of Chanem's elders like Jahira and Khalid, and younger sisters like Aimeng all turned their heads and pretended not to hear. This happened many times along the way, and it was very embarrassing. As for Evening Star? At this time, he was standing by the river far away from Chanem, frowning at the red river water, and seemed to be thinking about a very serious proposition - such as "The ecological imbalance, river pollution, forest pollution caused by iron ore mining in Naxikai" Research Report on Deforestation and Decline in People’s Physical Fitness.”
"You're sick, just wait." Lu Yuan glanced at it and said indifferently, and then continued to read the information in his hand, not wanting to explain it to him at all. These mature adults could almost see what the children were thinking, but they all treated it badly like pistachios. Even the arrogant royal sister Jahila would occasionally take the initiative to tease Chanem. He was the source of happiness for everyone along the way...
"Well, is there really no problem with your captain being like this? Isn't it an infectious disease? You know, if you want to cause trouble, then go elsewhere... We have had enough problems here recently. Alright." Guard Captain Badolan said somewhat uncertainly.
"Don't worry, we won't cause trouble, I promise." Little girl Aimeng answered quickly.
"Actually, it was Mayor Bai Lang who invited us to solve the iron ore problem. Take me to see him. Others should go to the hotel to settle down first. Lu Yuan, you are a local, you can make arrangements." As the deputy captain, Sheila took over the leadership when the captain lost his mind and began to arrange tasks...
"Where are you from?" Seeing that the captain had already asked the stranger, a bold child ran over and shouted across the road, looking like he was ready to run away at any time.
"We come from the north, does Friendly Arm know? What about Candlekeep? Belgost?" Imoen answered cheerfully. Lu Yuan covered his face weakly, and Mu Xing "snickered" openly.
"They come from Friendly Arm, Belgost, Candlekeep! They come from..." The child ran away happily. He shouted loudly as he ran quickly along the narrow street. This was obviously not the first time. Looking at the crowd that gathered around following the children's screams, Jaheira spread her hands helplessly, "Forget it, in this case, let's finish this side first."
People often ask, what is an adventurer?
The bard will tell you that adventurers are legends, they are Dragon Quest, they are knights and princesses, they are female rangers and Karatu wizards... ahem, remove the last one.
The lord will tell you that adventurers are villains, a cancer on public security, and a collection of bandits and liars.
Farmers will tell you that adventurers are strong men who work together in farming during busy periods and go out to fight goblins during slack periods.
…
In fact, adventurers are probably people who have nothing but dreams in their hearts. So they have to do everything to try and make a living.
As the town's residents gathered around, Chanem was pushed out again. Helpless, he could only hold a piece of papyrus, shine it on it and shout loudly, "Basha?! Is this Bazaar here?"
A woman squeezed in, "It's me, it's me!" Her hands held each other nervously, obviously expecting something.
"Your letter, ah, also has a gift." Chanem handed her a letter and a small bag. "Don't worry, Tom has paid the fee. I wish you happiness!"
Benbasha blushed and ran away quickly.
"Tir, is that Uncle Tier?" Chanem raised his head and looked around.
"It's me! I'm here!" An uncle jumped up outside the crowd and agreed. Judging from his clothes, he was also an adventurer, but he looked like he was not having a good life.
"Your wife has given birth! It's a son! Mother and child are safe! Congratulations!" Chanem shouted loudly, causing a burst of cheers from the crowd. Several companions around Uncle Tier also patted his shoulders and celebrated happily. .
"Hiccup Dragon Bar! I'll treat you to a drink!" Uncle Tier shouted from outside, and happily embraced his companions and left.
Chanem read in turn, most of them were oral messages, a few were letters and some small items. For such a commission, the reward is only a few copper coins, and most of them are even free employment. Because the people who entrusted it were very poor, even if there were messengers who could deliver the news, they couldn't afford it, so they could only entrust passing adventurers.
It has become a common practice for adventurers to work part-time as cheap or even free messengers. No matter how awesome the adventure team is, they cannot refuse such a request. Besides, the so-called adventurer is really not an enviable profession.
It took nearly two hours to complete the shouting, and several people were extremely exhausted.
"Follow me," Lu Yuan simply agreed and led everyone towards the best hotel in town. As for his small building in Naxikai? There was no way he could take everyone home. No one had lived there for a long time, and there were still a bunch of semi-finished products that had exhausted their magic power... God knew what would happen. Jaheira followed the guard captain to visit Bai Lang at the mayor's residence? Gaistiqi and the rest of the people followed Lu Yuan to the hotel.
"Dinner for six, fruit, hot water for bathing and the best room", Lu Yuan directly threw a small bag of gold coins to the boss and ordered, still calculating a spell model in his mind.
"A Yuan", Mu Xing's elbow bumped him gently. Lu Yuan raised his head with dissatisfaction. He was always in a bad mood when his work was interrupted. He saw a dozen people standing in the lobby of the hotel, walking over in a circle. The leader was a woman wearing straight chain mail, fully armed, holding a warhammer and a shield.
She casually threw the piece of paper she was reading on the ground, raised her warhammer high and shouted, "Candlekeep? Chanem? Hahaha, may the King of Shadows protect you in your death!"
Upon hearing her order, the dozen or so people surrounding them drew various weapons and rushed forward in a swarm.
"You too," Lu Yuan said coldly, without even raising his eyes from the spell information.
As his words fell, the dozen or so people around him who were rushing toward him suddenly stopped with their heads covered in cold sweat, their hands and feet weak, and they even wanted to turn around and run away immediately. They looked at the incredible scene in front of them with trembling eyes.
Their employer, the priest and part-time warrior under the powerful "King of Shadows", was the woman who had easily knocked them all to the ground.
Now he has a stick stuck in his throat. The female warrior who once taught them a lesson majestically now dropped her warhammer and shield. She held the staff inserted into her throat in vain with both hands. She made a gurgling sound in her mouth and spit out blood in streams.
She couldn't figure out what happened when she rushed forward. The seemingly ordinary staff was raised so fiercely, passed through the blocking gap between the shield and the war hammer, and pierced his neck with the blunt end covered with iron like a spear! But that guy didn't even look up from the paper! She murmured curses and used the most vicious words to express the power of the Shadow King, but she had no choice but to smash Lu Yuan's mental barrier into pieces.
She fell desperately into eternal darkness, and could no longer even hope that the Shadow King would protect her in her death.
Seeing the death of the female priest, the remaining local gangsters had completely lost their courage to fight.
"Deal with them!" Lu Yuan pulled out his staff, wiped the blood from the staff on the woman's body on the ground in disgust, walked over and picked up the parchment she had dropped.

Reward announcement: [Avatar]
A reward is offered here for the capture of Gillian's adopted son [Chanem] to punish his evil deeds.
He was last seen in Belgoost, and anyone seen will be killed without mercy.
This man is very troublesome and seems to have heavily armed companions.
This announcement is issued to all relevant trade unions.
Anyone who comes forward can receive a reward of at least 680 gold coins.
As usual, if the information is leaked to official law enforcement agencies, they will suffer the same fate.
————————
"Fuck! Fuck!" Lu Yuan cursed angrily. At this time, the gangsters had their weapons seized and handed over to the city guards who arrived.
Lu Yuan casually threw the reward announcement to Mu Xing who was following him, and walked towards the hiding boss with a sullen face, roaring like a fire-breathing dragon, "Where's dinner?! Where's the hot water?! How long do we have to wait? !”
Muxing glanced at the reward announcement and laughed, then ignored Lu Yuan's face, which was gloomy to the point of dripping water, and laughed so loudly that he couldn't stand upright. Aimeng curiously took a look at the "Bounty Announcement" and started laughing. Teammates laughed one after another after watching it, including Chanem, who had a bounty on his face, with a happy face.
Lu Yuan drove the boss away depressedly and found a seat to sit down.
Who can I talk to to explain this matter? !
What the hell is wrong with the announcement of a reward for Chanem being painted with my face on it!
