An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 102 Meeting
"No."

Gale shook his head, his expression unchanged, and he firmly denied this fact.

Reading other people’s thoughts is, after all, an invasion of privacy and should never be admitted if caught! This runs counter to the paladin's philosophy of unity.

"Yeah, then I believe you."

Astelon looked at Gale deeply and showed a meaningful smile.

For the sake of harmony within the team, someone has to take a step back...

"Zhudu, come with me. It's time to go back to bed. Good night, you two."

Wang!
Then Astelon stood up and led the dog Scratching back to the camp slowly and leisurely, while Gale and Weir looked at her retreating back and whispered.

"We probably shouldn't be doing this, Gail."

"...The matter is now over. Although I cannot understand Ma Long's thoughts, but...I will give respect and blessings."

The two of them did have a little fondness for Ma Long, but after the other party made his choice,

They also knew how to behave, and silently hid their slightest hint of love before testing Astelon.

It's just out of concern for my friends.

Because the love between the paladin and the spawn is basically difficult to be recognized by the world.

One is a radiant messenger of justice who shoulders the responsibility of slaying evil and eradicating evil, and the other is a photophobic undead creature lurking in the shadows, full of thirst for blood.

On the other side, Ma Long returned to the camp and fell directly on the sleeping bag without saying a word.

The feeling of drowsiness became more and more intense, and he said to the meditating priest next to him:
"Good night."

"Well, may you sleep well."

The party night ends here. Although this hard-earned entertainment time is short-lived, it brings huge positive inspiration to people's hearts.

……

When Malone opened his eyes again, the night passed and a new day arrived,
He sat up and stretched, looking around. There were only embers left in the campfire, and his companions were still asleep and had not yet woken up.

The man in his dream did not appear last night and he had a good night's sleep, so he was very energetic.

can better cope with the challenges ahead.

"Shh~ scratch it, don't make any noise."

Ma Long first whispered a reminder to the dog who was awakened by his movement, then stood up lightly, began to stretch his hard muscles and breathe the fresh morning air,

Because the breeze blowing in the face is a bit humid and there are more clouds in the sky,
He judged that the weather might be bad today.

After moving his body for a while, Ma Long suddenly discovered a large box outside the camp. He could tell with just one glance that it did not belong to his team.

When he got closer and looked at it, he found a letter on the lid of the box. He picked it up, opened it and read it.

The confused and surprised paladin smiled.

It was left by Sefro, who had led the tiefling refugees to leave the green woodland first. The druid's recent attacks made him not want to stay for a moment longer.
As soon as the day broke, they took their family and left.

The things in the box are the common thoughts of the refugees.
Although Malone never asked for repayment, the tieflings who were the beneficiaries were not ungrateful white-eyed wolves.

They know very well who is good to them.

After reading the letter, Ma Long turned back to look at the forest beyond the woodland and sincerely wished:
"Take care, Sevro, don't take the path to the Moonrise Tower..."

A cursed place, let alone ordinary people passing by, even if a bird flies in, it will never come out again. The lives of those who rush into it will be ruthlessly taken away.

Squeak~ Opening the box, Ma Long took a look inside. There were not many things.
Most of them are dry food supplies, but there are also a few unique items.

For example, two sets of leather straps with simple mechanical structures can fix weapons on the back. As long as they are aligned, they can be easily picked up or put down.
And very strong!

You can tell at a glance that it is Dai Mo's craftsmanship. After all, not many people know mechanical knowledge.

In addition, there is also a pair of chain mail gloves,
Magic item, the moment Malone picked it up, he knew its effect. When the wearer casts a positive buff spell on others,

Provides a layer of magic shield to the subject, able to resist a physical attack!
"It's really...good stuff."

Holding these gloves, Ma Long couldn't help but look at the sleeping Ying Xin.
The priest is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for this item, and there is no one.

Woof! Woof woof!

Sudden! Scratch stood up and barked loudly right in front of Malone, because a stranger came, a druid.

The barking noise of the dog woke up everyone who was sleeping.
Rubbing their sleepy eyes, they all sat up.

"Dear paladin, Archdruid Halsin ordered me to come and invite you."

The coming druid stood respectfully five meters away, bowed and conveyed the message.

After hearing the news, Ma Long bowed his head and caressed his chest in return:

"Okay, I'll be there later, thank you."

The task was completed, the druid turned around and left quickly without staying any longer.

Seeing this situation, Ma Long was surrounded by his friends the next moment. Everyone asked what happened just now.
In response, he just replied calmly:
"Pack up your things. It's time for us to talk to Harsin. Next, Shadow Heart."

At the beginning, everyone was looking for the Archdruid because of the problem of the bug in the brain, so now that everyone mentioned the other party, everyone knew what to do next.

As soon as the words fell, the group immediately got busy.

It took more than ten minutes to clean up the food donated by the refugees while eating breakfast, so as to save them from taking it out of their bags.

When the luggage was packed, Ma Long summoned the armor of oath again, put on the special strap, and carried the weapon behind his back.
You don’t have to hold it all the time, it’s really comfortable.
The free hand is also convenient for carrying luggage later.

As for the other set, it is left to Karak to use. After all, the giant ax and giant sword are inconvenient to hold, and freeing both hands is more suitable for holding things.

"let's go."

After giving the order, Malone led all his friends to meet with the Archdruid.
Passing by the refugee camp, he couldn't help but take a glance. It was already deserted and no longer lively.
Recalling the happy hour last night, all six of them couldn't help but sigh. They don't know when the next time will be...

However, they did not stop and speeded up, entering the altar area.
As the leader of the woodland, Harsin knew very well what the consequences of the Thorn Ceremony would be, and ordered it to be terminated the moment he returned.

Now the altar has returned to peace.

Seeing Ma Long and others coming here, all the druids gave a grand welcome, respectfully saluted and thanked them, not for anything else, after all, without them,

The followers of the Supreme God may still threaten the Verdant Woodland, even if Harsin kills the leader,

Those hundreds of troops still exist.

Gale was sincerely happy and fortunate about this:
"Fortunately, we intervened. I really can't imagine the scene of the green woodland being shrouded in thorns."

"Consider them lucky."

Astelon crossed his arms and said with disdain.

She doesn't care about refugees, and she treats druids the same way. Even if the huge army of the Supreme God destroys this place, she will not react.

Maybe they'll even applaud.
