An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 103 Clues
"Okay, now is not a good time for small talk."

As a reminder, Malone, under the guidance of various druids, re-entered the cave he had visited before. On the way down the stairs, he met Kaha.
The "Chief Druid" was no longer arrogant and passed by silently with a gloomy expression on his face.

It is conceivable that the return of the archdruid thwarted her conspiracy to collude with the shadows.

As for why she was still walking around the woods without being expelled or imprisoned, Malone didn't care. After all, he was an outsider.
How to deal with it is Harsin's business.

"What are you looking at!?"

Sensing that the other party's eyes were unkind, Astailun was not someone to be trifled with, so he immediately scolded him.

"You will pay the price for this."

Kaha didn't stop walking, and accelerated forward with a harsh word.

"stop!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Xin stopped immediately, frowned and shouted.

Some things should not be said casually. Since the other party dares to say such threatening words, it proves that she is ready to deal with everyone.
It's inconvenient not to do it now, it will definitely be after leaving the green woodland...

However, Kaha quickly ran away on the spot, and Yingxin subconsciously planned to chase him.

However, Ma Long grabbed his shoulder and stopped him.

"Forget it, if she dares to come, we won't be easy to mess with. There will be a lot of trouble anyway, so there's no harm in having her."

These words were very confident, and they didn't take Kahal's threat seriously at all. If they couldn't defeat even one druid, do they still need to go further?

"Those who collude with the shadows will be punished by me."

Looking at the top of the stairs, Weier said firmly.

If she dares to cause trouble, she will never let him go easily. No matter who comes to plead for mercy, it will not work.

After saying that, the group continued to descend, and within a moment they met Harsin again. Among those present were the black druid, Lars,

The dwarf doctor, Nettie, and several druids who looked familiar but whose names were unknown.

"Paladin."

"Arch Druid."

The leaders of the two parties caressed each other's chests and saluted each other to show respect, and then began to talk about business.

Straightening up, Harsin said with a solemn expression:
"Nettie told me the situation. You have those bugs in your skull too, right?"

"Yeah, can you figure it out?"

Hearing this, Ma Long nodded solemnly in response.

Even though he knew that the tall Druid in front of him was helpless, the process still had to go on as usual and there was no way to skip it...

Harsin shook his head, lowered his eyebrows and sighed:
"I can't do it...the mind flayer insect that infects the parasites is extraordinary. It contains some kind of magic. Forcibly removing it may not bring good results."

"Perhaps you may think that I have never seen it, why am I so sure,"

"That's not the case. I have one right here."

After finishing her words, Nettie handed a small transparent jar containing Mind Flayer bugs in front of everyone. Several people saw this thing and

The uninvited guest in my mind suddenly became restless and connected with the same kind in the jar.

"So do you have any clues about it?"

Fighting back his nausea and discomfort, Gale asked.

She had talked about this matter with the paladin before, but she didn't have high hopes, so her mentality was relatively stable at this time and was hardly affected.

The mood swings of the others were not great. We were all a group of unlucky people.
The bug couldn't be easily removed, which was expected.

"Indeed, I happened to overhear before that the Supreme True God cultists would send prisoners to the Moonrise Tower. Normal people would go in and come out again." "They would become true souls, which is the same situation as you. Parasitized by bugs.”

"Then become a fanatical believer in the Supreme God. Although I don't know why you are the exception, I think you should go there if you want to solve the dilemma."

After all, he knew very little about bugs, so Halsin was not firm in his words.
She didn't dare to make sure her guess was correct.

Knowing this situation, Border Blade suddenly panicked and looked horrified:
"Ma Long, then my father..."

"Take a deep breath, calm down, and think on the bright side. At least your father's life will not be in danger for the time being. We will rescue him later."

Hearing the sound, Ma Long quickly turned his head to comfort the other party.

Perhaps Duke Gao could not escape the fate of being parasitized, but at least he could survive.

The high-ranking Duke of Baldur's Gate can realize its value only while he is alive.

"Don't worry, Weier, we'll leave immediately for the Moonrise Tower. Whoever dares to stop us will be chopped into eight pieces by me!"

At this time, Karak also echoed.

Now the clues point directly to the Moonrise Tower and the task of rescuing Duke Gao.
Finally, the process can be brought forward.

Seeing this situation, Harsin hurriedly reminded:

"Everyone, don't worry. The Moonrise Tower is not a place where you can set foot casually. It has been shrouded in a curse for a century."

"I know this, the shadow curse, anyone who rushes into it will be swallowed by the shadow and become a part of it,"

"And as far as I know, that seems to be a good thing done by Shar followers."

The knowledgeable Gale responded in a serious tone.

At the mention of Nightsingers, Shadow Heart had some reaction, but did not speak.
Continue to listen in silence.

After hearing this, Harsin nodded in agreement and said:

"Yes, the Shadow Curse is very scary. How to get there is a problem, and you have two options. You can follow the path of promotion and cross the mountains, or go deep underground and pass through the Dark Territory."

"The former is more dangerous. You may be affected by the curse halfway through..."

"The latter is the best way in my opinion. A man named Keserixsom built a Shar believer stronghold under the Moonrise Tower..."

After a "detailed" introduction by the Archdruid, everyone understood that it was best to go underground.
The Underdark is another world hidden under the vast surface of the Faerûn continent. Like the above, it is a place that can never be illuminated by the sun.
There are also various kinds of creatures, even as many as those above!

For example, the drow are one of the settlers.

The underground world extends in all directions. Basically, as long as the buildings are built below the surface, they are most likely to be connected to each other.

It happens that the curse does not extend downward,

Reaching the Tower of Moonrise through the Underdark is undoubtedly the safest path.

"That makes sense. How to get to the Underdark?"

Ma Long touched his chin and asked knowingly.

"There are many entrances to the underground world, and there happens to be a passage deep in the abandoned temple where we fought side by side."

After being informed of the specific route, Harsin suddenly made a request:
"Also...I have a gracious request. Can you let me join your team?"

"What?!" x5
Suddenly everyone except the captain looked shocked and surprised.
After all, Harsin is a great druid. How can she leave her forest at will? Moreover, she is not troubled by insect parasitism.

"Please state your reasons, and I will make a decision based on the situation and everyone's opinions."

Malone calmly extended his hand in an inviting gesture.

Once the Archdruid joins, the strength of the entire team will undergo a qualitative leap.
