An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 137 God’s Messenger

"Everyone, calm down and don't be impulsive. I'm just a harmless old man."

"There is no threat to you."

The old man spoke slowly, with an old and deep voice. His wrinkled face looked very calm, even though there was a strong tiefling man more than two meters tall standing in front of him.
Holding a giant ax in his hand, he stared at himself with a ferocious expression without any fear.

It would be very difficult for ordinary people to stand calmly in front of Karak without trembling. People who are not afraid of him must have a difficult background...

"No threat? That's not necessarily true. After all, with the way you are dressed..."

Ying Xin had a cold face, shook his head and looked at the other person up and down.

The robe is the symbolic attire of a mage, and only such people love this attire.

"Old sir, please tell the truth about your purpose, otherwise I can't guarantee how everyone will treat a stranger who breaks into the camp."

As the daughter of a nobleman, Weier's tone and words are not as direct as those of her two companions.
She came from a prominent family and received a very high level of education. While maintaining respect for the elderly, she also expressed her dissatisfaction.

At this time, Harsin and Gale put on their clothes and walked out of the tent one after another.
The two of them saw this scene and chose to watch silently. They haven't figured out the specific situation yet, so it's best to say nothing.

But then, the old man's eyes took the initiative to glance at the mage who finally appeared.

Walking directly out of the three people's surroundings:

"Ah, Gale, it looks like you've been through a lot these days, kid."

"...Elminster?!"

Suddenly, Gale's face was full of surprise and surprise:

"You...why are you here? Did you break into our camp?"

Seeing her reaction, everyone present immediately understood that the old man who came uninvited was related to the mage, and it would be easier to work with them if they were acquaintances.
At least I don't have to be surrounded and questioned by everyone anymore.

"So you and Gale know each other. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

In the blink of an eye, Karak changed his expression, scratching his head and laughing awkwardly.

Ying Xin realized what was going on and stopped talking. She stood by the side with her arms folded and watched silently. Weier also breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to teach the dog a lesson.
After all, it is responsible for keeping watch, but when someone comes, it doesn’t even bark!

The one who gains and loses is not the enemy, otherwise we will be in great trouble.

Woo~
Scratching was punished so much that he drooped his head and whimpered softly.

At the same time, Malone came back to his senses, came straight to Gale and stopped, with a kind smile on his face, and asked:

"Gale, who is this?"

After hearing this, Gale suddenly realized and immediately introduced the guests to everyone:

"Ah, sorry, I forgot to introduce, this is Elminster Elmo, my good friend,"

"At the same time, he is also the most famous and respected mage in Faerûn... But then again, are you here specifically to find me?"

In the end, Gale himself was quite puzzled and asked questions.

"You are still so smart, girl. Yes, I have been asked to spare no effort to find your whereabouts. I believe you also know who can assign me to take action."

"So I had to wear my best boots and trek through the middle of nowhere."

Elminster's tone was slightly complaining and unhappy.

Traveling is not a wonderful thing, especially when the weather is bad.

Gale subconsciously ignored the following words and thought about the word "locked assignment". As one of the most powerful and influential mages, Elminster,

Can ask him to act in a designated way, and use the adjective "she"...

The next moment, Gale asked eagerly, with mixed feelings in his heart:
"But what's the point of this? Say it straight, don't beat around the bush, please!" "Don't forget to be polite, Gale, calm down."

Seeing that his mood was unstable, Ma Long put his hand on the other person's shoulder and patted him twice.

When Elminster heard this, he appreciated it and said:

"The young man is right. My child, how long have you been away from Waterdeep? Have your patience and courtesy been worn out so quickly?"

"In order to find you, I haven't eaten a real meal for several days..."

As soon as he heard the food, although Ma Long was not hungry yet, he must eat what he should eat.

Immediately make suggestions:

"In that case, let's have breakfast together. If anything happens, we should fill our stomachs before talking. Karak, could you please distribute the dry food."

Gale was not very satisfied with this and had something to say, but Ma Long shook his head and declined.
She is very emotionally unstable right now and needs to adjust first before listening to the follow-up, otherwise the consequences will be serious. After all, it is a matter of life and death...

Breakfast is still bread and water, but you must have enough energy for the new day.
So I added a few slices of cheese and dried meat. Although it still didn't look good, it was already considered a better ration for a long journey.

Gale was absent-minded throughout the whole process, with an expression full of worry and a glimmer of hope.
It didn't take long for everyone to have enough to eat and drink, waiting for Elminster's uninvited guest to reveal his true intention.

"Ah~ It's so delicious, simple and filling. Thank you for the treat."

"You are welcome."

Facing Elminster's polite thanks, Malone smiled and returned politely.

He knew that this breakfast was not delicious, but he had to pay attention to the appearance.

At this moment, Gale asked impatiently:

"Elminster! What is going on? What on earth did she send you here to do?"

"Um, this..."

At this moment, Elminster was hesitating, his eyes were wandering, and his words were stuck in his throat, but he didn't know how to speak better, as if what he was bringing was not good.

Now Ma Long can interrupt again, drink water silently and wait for the other party to be honest.
Others present also watched silently.

After delaying for a long time, Elminster finally blurted out the specific situation:

"...Mystra has sent me, my child, to deliver her words and commands,"

"As for your fault, to this day, we don't need to elaborate on that point. Even so, she is still willing to give you a chance to atone."

The answer was just as Ma Long expected. There was no other possibility for someone who could command a world-famous powerful mage except the goddess of magic who controlled the magic network.

After all, mages are notoriously arrogant!

"Mystra...will you consider forgiving me?"

Hearing this, Gale's eyes were filled with disbelief and surprise, and there was also a hint of hope.

If given the chance, she also hopes to return to that god.

Elminster looked at her with a complicated expression, looking at her with no obvious pity:
"In fact, she would consider the definition of forgiveness."

"Mystra knows the disaster that has befallen you and your companions, as well as the conflict with the Supreme God, and there is great evil hidden in it..."

Then this visitor told everyone that the Supreme God was extremely dangerous, and that his existence had seriously threatened all living beings in the world!
Even those immortal beings!

However, from beginning to end, Elminster never mentioned what the Supreme God was.
