An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 109 Lone Hunter
The rain was falling, and a group of people sat in the tent and warmed themselves by the fire to dispel the cold.

Looking at the increasingly heavy rain outside, I said nothing.
There is no way to move forward in a short period of time. No one knows how long it will take. The only thing that can be done is to wait quietly.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Karak scratched his head and said in confusion:

"Why don't you say anything?"

Hearing this, Astelon shrugged and asked:

"That's a good question. What do you think we should talk about? Why don't you start."

The conversation between the two people immediately attracted everyone's attention. It was precisely because they didn't know what to say that everyone was in a daze.

If someone can get off to a good start, the atmosphere can change in no time.

"Um...let me think about it first."

Touching his chin, Karak looked very solemn and racked his brains to think. He must not mention too serious topics at this moment.
But apart from the known troubles and difficulties, he really didn't know what else to talk about...

Before this team was formed, everyone had their own lives and different interests and hobbies, and what they liked may not necessarily be liked by others.

After much hesitation, Karak suddenly had an idea and suggested with a very proud smile:

"How about I sing a song or dance? I'm not bragging. I used to be the best performer among the kids on the street~"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was still silent.

Everyone's expressions are different, but deep down in their hearts they have begun to imagine this tall and burly Tiefling man, who is over two meters tall, singing and dancing in front of them.

To be honest, it’s a little hard to bear to look at...

"Ahem, Karak, it's not that I look down on you, if you really want to sing,"

"I want to hear Ma Long show off his singing voice~"

In response, Astelon politely refused at first, and then threw this "opportunity" to the paladin, smiling playfully, with anticipation in his eyes.

Hearing this, Ma Long suddenly had black lines in his head:
"...You are planning to see me make a fool of myself, right?"

Normally, he always showed a majestic and upright image, so it was not difficult for him to guess the "insidious" plan in this woman's heart, and she wanted to have fun.

After Gale made this proposal, he suddenly became aware of an important issue and immediately spoke:
"This reminds me, Malone, you seem to be the only one in the team who has never shown yourself. Everyone knows you are a paladin."

"I don't know anything about other things. Now that I have some free time, why don't you tell me about yourself?"

Now among this small group, only Malone is left as the leader of the team. His background is still a mystery. Even the secret of Shadow Heart's worship of Shar has been revealed.
On the contrary, no one knows the past of the paladin.

"I agree."

“Either sing, or just talk about yourself, choose one of the two.”

Gale's proposal immediately gained support and approval from most people, except Druid Halsin. As a new member, she has not yet been able to integrate.

He didn't make noises with the others.

Looking at the eyes of his partners full of curiosity, Ma Long knew that they would not give up easily unless he gave a general idea.

But now the time is not ripe for exposure, at least not yet.

"Remember that unspoken rule in our team? Respect other people's privacy and don't ask unless you are willing to disclose it to everyone."

"You...can't trust us?"

Hearing the captain's perfunctory words, Gale frowned and asked,
After hesitating for a moment, Ma Long shook his head and replied with a wry smile:
"Of course not, simply... the time has not come yet."

In his expectation, the best time would be when the journey is about to reach its end or is approaching.

At this point, seeing that "forcing the palace" failed, Astelon smiled slightly and spread his hands to invite:
"In that case, let's sing."

"...Okay, then please forgive me, save some face for me, don't laugh too exaggeratedly, after all, I am also the captain." Knowing that it is not good to refuse twice, Ma Long bit the bullet and agreed to make a fool of himself.
Just as he took a deep breath and opened his mouth, there were sudden bursts of light steps outside the tent. Although the sound of rain covered up most of it,
But because he was too close, he still heard it! And it's not just Malone.

"Something is approaching!"

Weier shouted, quickly stood up, drew his weapon and entered the alert state. He looked at the remaining three sides except the open door with a cautious face.

As soon as the others heard this, they also stood up one after another, picked up their things, and prepared to face the enemy.

"Who's out there!"

The straight-tempered Karak even yelled outside, fearing that the visitor would not know that he had been discovered.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not hostile!"

Then a voice came from outside. It was a man with a rich voice. Then a figure appeared outside the half-open door of the tent.

Spread your hands to show that you are not holding a weapon.

Everyone took a closer look and saw that this man was wearing smart clothes, a leather jacket over his cloth clothes, and he was carrying a bag and a heavy crossbow on his shoulders.

The image is of long hair and a horned beard, with a regular appearance.
At least give them the first impression that they don't look like bad people, but the good and evil of people cannot be judged by their appearance alone.

"Everyone, I just want to find a shelter from the rain. If you don't mind, can I borrow your tent for a while and wait for the weather to improve?"

The unknown person stood in the rain and sincerely asked for help without getting too close.

"Ma Long, what do you think? Does he have any companions nearby? Is it possible that he sent someone here to lower our vigilance?"

Gale felt a little unbearable when he saw that the other party was all wet and looking down and out.

But she knew that she couldn't trust others easily, especially in the wilderness.

After observing the other party, Ma Long said:

"Send your name."

"Gendelair, a lone hunter."

When the person revealed his name without any hesitation, Ma Long became less vigilant. He had some impressions of this unknown visitor...

It can be either friend or foe, it depends on how you talk to each other.

"Shadow Heart, Karak, keep an eye on each other later."

First, he whispered instructions to his friends, and then Ma Long turned around and responded:
"Come in, hunter."

"Okay! Thank you very much!"

After receiving the instructions of special care, the moment the hunter walked into the tent, he was stared at and closely approached by Yingxin and Karak.
If there was even the slightest movement, they would immediately push the person to the ground.

The hunter shook out his soaked clothes and glanced at the seven people and one dog present. His keen awareness identified the young man wearing gorgeous and exquisite armor as the leader.
He immediately touched his chest and bowed his head to express respect and gratitude:

"Huh~ This downpour came too suddenly. Thank you for your generous sharing of the tent."

Anyone who can afford to wear plate armor has some status, and Ma Long's body is even more extraordinary, he looks extraordinary!
"Hello, my name is Malone, a paladin."

Seeing that the other party was being polite, Ma Long did not hesitate and saluted in return.

Although all living beings are not equal, he is willing to give others enough respect as long as they are not bad people or do not know what is good or bad.

"Paladin? It is an honor for me to be under the same tent with you."

Hunter Gendelair exclaimed after hearing this.
