An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 110: Right and wrong
"Please sit down and warm yourself by the fire."

Ma Long extended his hands and invited with a smile.

Then Gendrell came to the campfire unsuspectingly and sat on the ground. He obviously knew that the paladin had very strict rules.

As long as he is not an evil person, there is no need to worry or fear that he has evil intentions.

Even if you are weak and alone.

"Which settlement or village are you a hunter from? Why are you walking alone in this wilderness? Aren't you afraid of danger?"

At this time, Weir sat down opposite Gendelaire and asked suspiciously.

Hunters will not stray far away from where they live, and will only operate within a radius of more than ten miles at most. Logically speaking, they should not dare to run too far...

In her opinion, this person may not be simple.

Hearing the implication, Gendelair explained:
"My target is not wild beasts, but monsters that are harmful to people. After charging a certain fee, I will try my best to eliminate disasters for people."

"I understand. It turns out you are a demon hunter. No wonder you dare to walk alone in the wilderness."

Gale has heard of such people, who often do high-risk, low-return jobs. Most of the people who hire demon hunters are civilians.
It doesn't pay much at all.

The next second, Astelon asked with a solemn expression:

"From your accent, Gur?"

"Yes, it seems that this young lady has been in contact with my tribe."

Gendrell responded with a slight surprise.

Hearing this, Astelon chuckled lightly, with a fierce look in his eyes but acted as if nothing had happened:
"Yes, and the impression is very bad, but that is a long time ago. I would like to know what kind of prey a killer like you is targeting?"

"Red dragon? Phase spider? Or jackal? Or..."

"Ahem, don't lose your courtesy."

Before she could finish speaking, Ma Long coughed twice to remind the other party to be careful.
He felt that the words were somewhat aggressive.

After receiving the kindness, the demon hunter Gendelair did not pay too much attention to the questions that inquired into privacy, and said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter, paladin. This lady is really well-informed, but unfortunately she is not. The target of my trip is a vampire spawn named Astelon."

"The danger level is far less powerful than the above, but it is also not easy to deal with."

As soon as these words were heard, everyone in the tent except Ma Long was shocked, and their expressions changed slightly involuntarily.
Especially Asteron, her breathing was quickened, the witcher was coming for her!
Without saying a word, Ying Xin stepped forward and knocked him down, pressing his elbow firmly against the opponent's neck. Karak even picked up the ax and hung it above his head.

"Ma Long, what do you mean, do you want to chop him up?"

"...Wait a minute! Everyone! What's going on? Did I say something wrong? Paladin! I am not your enemy!"

Gendelair, who was held down and unable to move, was in a panic and asked,
Looking at the huge, sharp ax blade above his head, he was full of fear. No one could keep his emotions steady in the face of death.

Seeing this scene, Harsin quickly persuaded:

"You two, calm down and don't be impulsive. This person may not be here with murderous intentions."

"Witcher, why are you looking for Astaire?"

"What? Do you recognize her?"

Faced with this question, Gendelair asked in surprise, even forgetting his own situation,

If you don't answer well, it will end badly.

"Stop talking nonsense! Be careful, I'll chop you up! Tell me quickly, why do you regard Asteron as your target? Otherwise, your head will fall to the ground."

As soon as the words fell, Karak immediately raised his ax, intending to kill him!
Seeing this, Ma Long quickly stepped forward to stop him.
He waved his hand to signal the tough guy to step back. If possible, he didn't want to have a conflict, and he had no intention of harming anyone's life. After all, he was not evil, and the paladin couldn't attack innocent people. It was a violation of his oath.

Then, Malone knelt down and watched Gendelair point to the pale elf next to him:
"She is the "prey" you are looking for, the spawn Astelon, my companion. Do you understand why you are treated like this?"

"...What the hell?! Are you kidding~"

Obviously, Gendrell did not believe this. It was unheard of for undead creatures to team up with paladins, and it was unbelievable.
But Malone didn't say a word and looked expressionless. Even if the witcher didn't want to believe it,

He also has to accept this strange fact...

"Please tell me, why are you looking for her? Of course, don't worry too much. I will never kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"Wait a minute! Malone, kill this guy quickly! He might be sent by that bastard!"

In an instant, Astelon stood up, angrily took out his dagger and walked over quickly, his murderous intention no longer hidden, but Ma Long shook his head decisively and refused.
He raised his hand to signal her to stand still.

He knew who the bastards were talking about, but the facts were not exactly what she said, at least in some aspects...

"It's your turn to speak, Gendelair."

Because he was pinned down, the demon hunter knew that the situation was not favorable for him.

I had no choice but to tell the truth truthfully.

About a week ago, a group of vampire spawns attacked the Gur camp at Baldur's Gate at night and kidnapped several children.

Over the past few days, they have been trying to find the information, but they don’t know where they got it from.
Knowing that Astelon was also a participant that night, as long as he found her, there would be a chance to find the missing children in the tribe.

Moreover, the Gur people still had a rough search direction, so the clan leader sent Gendelair.
He came here specifically to capture Astelon, with no intention of killing her, but to take her intact to Baldur's Gate for interrogation.

When the demon hunter revealed the truth, everyone looked shocked and disbelieving.

One by one, they stared at Asteron.

"If my ears heard correctly, you were involved in kidnapping the child?"

At this moment, Weier pointed the finger at his companion and asked in a cold tone,

Later, Karak and Gale also asked questions one after another:

"Asteron, is this...really?"

Under normal circumstances, everyone will turn to their companions, but if one of them makes a mistake, the situation will be reversed 180 degrees!

You need to be clear about right and wrong, otherwise it will violate morality and conscience and you will be condemned in the future.

At this time, Asteron had a bitter look on her face, squatted down with her arms folded, and admitted her crime:
"I...I was also forced to have no choice,"

"I can't refuse Kazador's order, let alone resist. What can I do? Don't look at me with that look!"

She did indeed raid the Gur camp at night on the orders of her vampire master.

But there is nothing you can do about it. Refusal to obey or disobedience will have no effect at all. Instead, you will suffer unimaginable punishment!

Ma Long reached out and patted Ying Xin on the shoulder, signaling him to let him go.

Then he helped the demon hunter and said calmly:

"Gendelair, go back and tell your clan leader that we will see you at Baldur's Gate later. I will give you a result at that time,"

"You can choose not to believe it, but I will never let you take Asteron away."
