Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 481 Lend a helping hand
"Sir! There is no time to lose. Why don't we go and get the children back now? Although less than 12 hours have passed since the incident, the children may still be in very serious danger! Those blood-sucking monsters... they may have already!"

Scar stretched out his arm and infused a stream of sacred positive energy into Gendrel's body. This energy not only dispelled Gendrel's fatigue, but also temporarily soothed his anxious thoughts and calmed him down.

"Don't worry, Gendrel. According to the information you provided earlier, there should be quite a lot of monsters that attacked you last night, right? They were able to attack the camp of an entire tribe head-on and take away all your children. If there weren't hundreds of monsters, it would be impossible to do this."

"More importantly, these hundreds of monsters may not be their total number. There may be more evil creatures in their lair. Even I cannot easily deal with such a large number. I must report this matter to my...comrades first, discuss it with them, and then act according to the situation."

"Ah! Yes! Of course there is no problem. Who in the entire Northland has not heard of your team! Who has not heard of your legend! Especially your captain, Noshir Temariti, the God-chosen Butcher, the Demon Slayer! I have heard of his story. His name is everywhere I go these days. Legends about him are everywhere, saying that he is invincible!"

"The bards say he didn't even blink when facing Tshavlock, he just crushed his helmet with his bare hands! There's no way to explain the dent on the helmet. Some people also say he didn't even try to dodge Tshavlock's sword, he just broke it with his neck! Are these rumors really true? Will this legendary figure really help us wanderers?"

Looking at Gendler who suddenly became excited and the increasingly exaggerated rumors coming out of his mouth, Scar didn't know how to explain to Gendler what happened at that time.

Deny those exaggerated rumors? No, although the version spread by the bards sounds exaggerated, if you think carefully about what happened at the time, apart from some differences in details, Noshir's actual performance is actually worthy of these exaggerated words.

"…The rumor has some issues with some details, but the general process and results are correct. As for whether the captain will help? I can't make any guarantees about that."

"Is...is that so?"

"Yes, but our captain is a very kind, enthusiastic, and righteous man. He will not tolerate any evil. As long as he is willing to help, even the incarnation of the gods will never be his opponent, let alone those ordinary monsters. From what I know about him, there is a high probability that he will not sit idly by because he has saved many people."

"If...if that's the case, that would be great. I will go back to the tribe now and report this good news to the leader."

"Well, I have to go back to Uptown soon too. Leave me an address and I'll come find you soon."

Scar took out a map from the space bag, and Gendler immediately made marks on it. After finishing this, the two of them immediately walked out of the tavern and went in different directions.

Gendler's steps were hurried. After the tragedy last night, the whole tribe was eagerly waiting for him to bring back some good news. Fortunately, he did get good news and brought back a good helper. This helper was the strongest helper they could find in the city of Baldur's Gate!
Gendrel thought that this news would surely be like a shot in the arm, bringing the tribe, which was in sadness and despair, back on track.

As for the other side, Scar's pace was definitely not slow. The lives of all the children in the entire tribe were now on his shoulders. If he acted slowly...

"Hey."

A hand suddenly and silently rested on Scar's shoulder, causing his nerves to jump suddenly and almost causing him to overreact, but fortunately, he recognized the familiar voice that followed. "Noshir! How... When did you come here?"

Scar turned around in surprise and looked at the figure with most of his face covered by a hood.

"It was probably when you were stopped by the hunter named Gendler. Since then, I have been following you two. I didn't show up just because I thought it was troublesome. I never expected that the rumors about me would be so exaggerated. I don't want to be drowned by the fanatical crowd."

From that time on, I didn't even feel like I was being followed.

"...I won't explain why a barbarian like you is so good at hiding, but if you put it this way..."

"Yes, I know everything. I know almost everything about the Ghor camp, vampires, etc. Moreover, this matter is of great interest to me. I have stayed in the manor for a long time, and these vampires can help me relax."

Scar breathed a sigh of relief.

"The end of those abominable evil creatures is coming soon, and the poor children can be saved. However, Noshir, just like what I said to Delaier before, the longer we delay, the more dangerous the children will be. There is no time to lose, I will go with you now..."

"No, I will deal with the group of vampires alone this time. You, a paladin, are too conspicuous in the base camp of dark creatures. You are totally unsuitable for stealth-type search and rescue operations. It is better for you to stay here and continue distributing food, or go to the Gur camp to help treat the wounded. Leave the monsters to me. I have rested for more than half a month, and I am really itching to do it."

As he spoke, Noshir deliberately twisted his neck, looking as if he was itching to fight. Scar tilted his head in confusion, but then he thought about it carefully.

What Noshir said seemed to be correct. His staying here was indeed much more meaningful than following him. Anyway, with Noshir's fighting power, he could completely take down the nest of the dark creatures by himself. One more or one less would not make much difference.

And if he stays here, he can indeed help other people who deserve help more as Nohill said, to the greatest extent possible.

He didn't feel that he was particularly useless and couldn't help Noshir, because he was a normal human being, but Noshir was not a normal person.

A normal person might complain that he is too weak to help his teammates because of his lack of ability, but when his teammates are as strong as Nohill, any comparison or similar emotions and thoughts related to them are stupid and wrong.
