An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 146 The Shining Society

The dwarf let out a painful cry. She was being tortured by some kind of poison.
Seeing this situation, Gale suggested with a solemn expression:

"I'm going to ask Ying Xin to come over and take a look. He should be able to deal with it."

But the next second, Astelon stopped him with words:

"It's not necessary. The poisoner usually brings an antidote with him. The gray dwarf must have something that can cure this little dwarf."

"Furthermore, it seems that she has been poisoned for a while, and she is still alive now, which proves that it is not fatal."

In her opinion, it is not worth consuming the priest's mana for a stranger!

After all, everyone will inevitably get injured during the journey. From a long-term perspective, it is better to obtain the antidote after killing the target.

After careful consideration, Ma Long also felt that this method was more beneficial to the group.

What's more, detoxification is not an easy task...

"Hang on, I'll bring you the antidote."

As soon as he finished speaking, the system popped up a task release prompt again.

[The responsibility of the constant oath has been activated: support the weak]

[When the weak face difficulties, the paladin will lend a helping hand to prevent the upcoming tragedy and give the perpetrators the punishment they deserve. 】

[Completion reward: attribute point +1]

"...Thank you, paladin, but be careful, those gray dwarves... are very cruel,"

"And...my name is Tula."

After receiving his promise, the dwarf Tula completely let down his guard,
She does not need to distinguish the authenticity of her status as a paladin. In this world full of indifference and selfishness, she is willing to help the weak unconditionally.
Basically, they are either paladins or priests who worship and believe in good gods.

In addition to the above two, although there are some kind-hearted people, they are not many in number.

Knowing a little about the capabilities of the enemy he was about to face, Ma Long stood up silently. When he turned to leave, he saw a corner not far away.
A tall and muscular hobgoblin with red skin stared closely at them.

Upon noticing this situation, Asteron was unhappy and pointed at the other person and yelled:

"Hey! You! What are you looking at?!"

As soon as he said this, the hobgoblin walked over quickly and apologized sincerely:
"I'm sorry, everyone, I was just curious that there were adventurers who dared to come to the Underdark, and I happened to meet them."

Hobgoblins are a subspecies of goblins. Because they are tall and strong, they are usually regarded as the boss by their shorter peers.

During the previous battle with the army of the Supreme True God,
Among them was a hobgoblin who was powerful, but he was no match for Karak.

After looking at the other person up and down, Gale raised his eyebrows and asked curiously:

"You are also "rare". When I first entered the Myconid Habitat, I saw you playing with books and alchemy. Coupled with this unique outfit and a knowledgeable temperament...are you a scholar?"

There is a huge difference between this hobgoblin and the temple of Selune.
At least she knew at a glance that the other person had read a lot of books and was a smart person, unlike those of his kind who only knew how to burn, kill, and loot.

"Yes, Bulger, a member of the Shining Society, happy to serve you."

The great goblin Bulger solemnly introduced his origins and gave a simple salute.

Seeing this, Gale simply responded:
"Gail from Waterdeep City, it's an honor. I didn't expect to see scholars from the Shining Society here. I've heard a lot about your deeds,"

"Not only do they often travel around the world, but the number of people in the organization is also very small, and everyone is an academic master."

The Guangyao Society is a small group of mages who are dedicated to academics and research.
It is quite famous in the mage world and is suitable for people who like to study and explore, but not everyone can join them.

After hearing this praise, Bulger smiled and said:

"Thank you, Miss Gale. I believe you are also an extremely outstanding mage." "That is~ this was once a very famous mage in Waterdeep City."

Suddenly, Astelenlu next to him chimed in with a joking look, saying,
And the word "once" is accentuated for emphasis! The true meaning is self-evident...

"Hey~ are you..."

Gale stretched out his hand to stop the displeased Malone who was about to blurt out the reprimand, smiled, and gave Asteron a deep look:
"It doesn't matter, Ma Long, I have long been accustomed to my current situation."

She was indeed unworthy of her many reputations in the past, and the person who used this to ridicule her was one of her companions.

For this reason, she doesn't care. Furthermore, if Astairon continues like this, it will only lower her impression in the heart of the paladin~

Immediately, Gale continued to talk to Bulger:

"Oh, by the way, Bulger, did you come across any good things on your way to the Underdark?"

"Maybe we can make a deal, I'm sure your research funding is expensive, right?"

Bulger nodded and agreed:
"Indeed, I found a lot of interesting things before. Do you want to take a look? But let me make it clear first, they are not cheap."

The members of the Shining Society are running around doing research, and they will definitely get a lot of special things that ordinary people can't find along the way.
It happened that Gale knew them old scholars quite well.

After saying that, Bulger trotted back to the corner and dragged a large storage box.

I took out something very special from inside!

Magic items and weapons, and the number is not small, there are six or seven in total! It has reached what the team was like before!
"That's all in total, one thousand gold coins, all packaged and sold to you."

"How much?! The lion is opening his mouth!"

Upon hearing the price, Astelon opened his eyes wide and shouted in disbelief:

"Do you have any idea about money? Just to hold those one thousand gold coins would take two whole big boxes!"

"Sorry, I don't have that kind of money right now, but I might have it later. Goodbye."

The next moment, Malone smiled and refused the deal, turned around and walked away.

The asking price is so high that adventurers cannot afford it. After all, who would carry a big box full of coins with them?

Seeing him leaving, Asteron glanced at Bulger angrily and followed the captain silently.
Only Gale said politely:

"Sorry, Bulger, the price is indeed high. We will come again. Goodbye."

Bulger grinned, waved his hand and said:
"It doesn't matter. My companions and I will stay here for a while to do research. If you really want it, I will give you a small discount when the time comes."

"See you next time, Miss Gale. It was a pleasure talking to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gale quickly caught up with the two people who had taken the first step and returned to the camp.

As soon as Asteron returned to the tent, she immediately approached the priest Shadow Heart who was treating Karak and whispered in his ear,

The sound is so small that you can't hear it unless you get close.

Ying Xin was a little disgusted at first, but then her face suddenly changed and she listened carefully...

Seeing this scene, Ma Long was very confused. When did the relationship between these two people become so good? You know, the pastor openly said that he hated the other party.

"What are you whispering about?"

"It's nothing, just a small thing."
