An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 138 Opportunity for atonement
"The Supreme God is the chance for redemption given to you by Mystra. Find it and destroy it. She firmly believes that only you can do this easily."

Elminster conveyed the goddess of magic's instructions with an extremely solemn expression at this moment.

Hearing this, Gale lowered his head, thinking a lot...

"Only her? According to your description, the Supreme God is so powerful, how can we fight? Is it possible for Gale to run over and blow them up to death?"

Suddenly, Astelon curled her lips and made a half-joking joke.

Now Gale is no longer the great mage he was before. The phoenix soaring in the sky has fallen into decline, and his overall strength is not as good as before.

The only thing that can be called a trump card is the ball of destruction in the body!
Humanoid self-propelled bomb is not a joke~

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on her.
This is not a good time to be playful.

"I don't like your words very much. It's a pity that your joke... is the truth."

Elminster took a deep breath and replied with a stiff and helpless tone,

Then he turned his head and continued to Gale:

"Mystra gave me the power to relieve the restrictions imposed on you by the foreign object in your body. After that, you can release its deadly and powerful destructive power according to your own will."

After the words fell, Karak suddenly became angry. He picked up his ax and said coldly:

"Old man, if I understand correctly, you want Gale to die, right?"

As one of the people who cares most about his companions, he asked Gale to die in front of him.
It is absolutely impossible not to be angry!

Seeing this, Weier quickly stopped in front of the strong man:
"Karak, put down your weapon. Didn't you listen carefully?"

"That was an order from Mystra, not Elminster. He was just responsible for delivering the message, and that's not what he wanted."

But Karak became irritable and his temper was so bad that he pointed at Elminster and shouted:
"I don't care about this! Go tell that magic goddess that I will never let Gale use his life to blow up the Supreme God!"

Then the strong man turned his head and called anxiously to the holy warrior who had remained silent:

"Ma Long, you might as well say something. Gale is our friend and one of our best partners."

"We will never allow the God in heaven to tell her to risk her life with just one word, right?"

At this moment, Ma Long had no words, but nodded in response. Sometimes he didn't need to decide his attitude by the volume of his voice.

Seeing this, Elminster was quite pleased, and he didn't care about the disrespect of Karak's behavior.
He also didn't want Gale to destroy the Supreme God at the cost of his life, but Mystra ordered him to do so...

"I am sorry, my friend, to bring you this painful command,"

"However, this is Mystra's will and her promise. You must become a sacrifice to destroy the Supreme God, and your sacrifice is redemption."

Then, Gale raised his head and showed a sad and forced smile,

Her eyes were empty and she opened her arms:

"Do what you should do, Elminster. People always have to pay for their mistakes."

The mage has been pursuing more powerful power and new knowledge all her life, and witnessing a wider world. Since she has embarked on this dangerous path,
I am not afraid of the consequences. If I can gain the forgiveness of the goddess of magic by dying,

In fact, death is not the end of everything...

At this point, Elminster stopped talking and began to chant spells and cast spells. The purple magic network energy emerged from his palm and gradually entered Gale's chest.

Seeing this situation, Karak's expression changed drastically, and he was ready to step forward to stop the opponent.
But he was stopped directly by Ma Long.

Although the goddess of magic asked Gale to commit suicide, the other party changed the detonation measures of the destroying sphere and handed the detonation device into her hands.
But it is a kind of help in disguise. After this, she no longer needs to absorb magic items.
It will not be beaten, resulting in no fighting power.

And whether to use it or not is not decided by Mystra, but by Gale himself! "Okay, my mission is completed."

After a moment, Elminster stopped casting spells, turned towards Malone, and said meaningfully:
"Next, I entrust Gale to you. I hope you can lead her well through this highly anticipated journey, paladin."

"Goodbye."

Ma Long nodded solemnly. God decides the life and death of mortals with just one word.
But they will also have the courage to reverse the inevitable situation! Create new endings.

"Good bye my friend."

"Goodbye, Elminster, at least the person she chooses to convey the message is you..."

Facing the farewell, Gale cheered up and responded.

Immediately, Elminster walked out of the camp while reciting some kind of poetry. Everyone present watched this extremely famous mage gradually go away.

Some people knew about each other's deeds from stories or various rumors, and were very surprised that Gale was actually a good friend with them.

"Elminster Elmo, I never thought I would be lucky enough to meet a real person today."

Harsin shook his head repeatedly and couldn't help but sigh.

After the guests left, Karak immediately jogged to Gale's side and asked with concern:
"How do you feel? Don't listen to that goddess talking nonsense in the sky. You can only decide your own life."

The next moment, Weier also nodded and said in agreement:

"Although Karak's words are harsh, he is right. If he wants to commit suicide to obtain Mystra's forgiveness, I think it is completely unnecessary."

The two of them were trying to persuade each other not to obey the gods' arrangements.

They didn't stop talking until Ma Long brought the others over. Who among the entire team had the best ability to persuade and comfort people?

That has to be the captain.

"Tell me, Gail, what do you think?"

Stepping closer to the target, Ma Long asked in a gentle tone.

Gale shook his head slowly and said with a wry smile:

"I'm... not sure. Although the price of Mystra's request is high, if she can forgive my mistake, physical death is not an unacceptable price,"

"When the time comes, my soul will be extradited to her kingdom of God."

The gods in the sky all have their own unique domain and plane, and that place is called the Kingdom of God. After the death of a devout believer,
Then you will be taken into the realm of the god you worship, where there will no longer be any suffering in the world.

"I believe that the divine kingdom of Mystra is very good, but it is not the place you should go. This world, even though it is not perfect,"

"But there are people you love and people who love you."

There are all kinds of emotions in this life, and Ma Long grasps this point and tries to persuade.

Playing the emotional card is always the best way to talk.

Later, Malone continued:

"The goddess of magic orders you to destroy the Supreme God, but she doesn't stipulate that you are not allowed to use methods other than self-destruction to achieve this goal, right?"

"This mission does not conflict with everyone's purpose. After all, the bug is related to the Supreme God."

"Do you believe me? Do you trust the partners around you? If your answer is trust, I hope..."
