An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 16 Ruins
Asteron, who had already been holding back her anger, was worried that she had no place to vent her anger.
It just so happens that the Githyanki give her this chance.

Then Ying Xin and Gale also looked cold, stared at each other with unfriendly eyes, and expressed their thoughts one after another.

"Based on your attitude, I will never go with you."

"Sorry, I don't think only your tribe can help us solve the problem. There must be other options,"

"Besides, the Githyanki's reputation in Faerûn is 'very loud', so I can refuse."

With just one sentence, he successfully aroused everyone's displeasure and started to directly attack him~
Seeing this, Ma Long didn't say anything or stop his friends. After all, this guy was really a little too arrogant...

"So, do you have the same idea as them?"

The Githyanki, however, didn't care about them and looked directly at Malone and asked.

"...I originally intended to invite you to cooperate and find a way to get rid of the bugs. Unfortunately, you have offended everyone..."

With that said, Malone took the opponent's sword from Asteron's hand,
Walk straight forward and hand it back to the other party:
"You helped me once before in the Mind Flayer's shell ship."

"Now, we don't owe each other anything."

Since the other party was unsociable, he had to give up the idea of ​​keeping him.

As a leader, you need to take into account the feelings of others.

"Hey, this is your loss."

The Githyanki shrugged this off and after getting their weapons back, left without looking back, disappearing into the forest.

He is so reckless, either because he is fully confident in his own strength,
Or, it's just stupid.

At least in Ma Long's view, the latter is more likely. After all, he has witnessed it with his own eyes before, and it is indeed not weak.

As the annoying guy left, Asteron walked forward with his arms crossed and said jokingly:

"So~ how do you feel? Do you regret your previous decision?"

"I helped such an ungrateful guy."

After hearing this, Ma Long smiled and sighed:
"To be honest, I don't regret it. At least I didn't choose to stand by and let him die in the forest. As for what will happen to him in the future,"

"I don't know, and I can't help. I can only wish him good luck."

Although it is a pity that we could not recruit such a powerful partner,

That’s not to say that it won’t work without a home.

Based on the current strength level of the team, as long as they don't encounter too difficult enemies, there will be basically no problem and the chances of winning are not low.

At the same time, Gale also came over with a smile and directly supported the captain:
"Personally, I think Malone made the right decision. Githyanki are certainly annoying,"

"But it is still a life after all."

When it comes to rescuing lives and helping the wounded, the two women have completely opposite attitudes.

"Oh~ Dear Gale, you are so kind. Maybe you didn't notice that that guy didn't even say thank you from the beginning to the end! Is this difficult?"

"Helping others in exchange for something in return is not true kindness, Asteron,"

“Even if it’s asking the other person to express gratitude.”

Seeing their tendency to argue endlessly, Ying Xin quickly gestured to Ma Long,

Can't waste any more time.

Seeing this, Ma Long nodded and directly stood between the two women to mention the important point:
"Ladies, it's time for us to set off."

……

After packing their things and carrying their luggage, everyone returned to the forest path and embarked on their journey.
If you follow the road, you will definitely reach somewhere because someone has walked there before. Along the way, in addition to walking and stopping, everyone was chatting with each other to enhance their relationship. Gale fully demonstrated his chatty nature.
Based on her own knowledge, she can talk eloquently, and she can pick up a few sentences about anything.

Pastor Yingxin is relatively shy and doesn't talk much. He always carries a sense of sadness and is obviously worried about something, and he can't explain why.

As for Asteron, she is a really good social person. As long as it comes out of her mouth, there is basically nothing that sounds bad~

Of course, the level of credibility is not high.

Everyone can see that the other party is not a good person, but she is on the same boat after all. As long as she does not make any principled mistakes,

Then it's no problem and we can continue to get along.

I don’t know how far I traveled, the dense trees gradually became sparse, my vision suddenly became clearer, and a dilapidated building on the edge of the cliff appeared at the end of the road.

And below the cliff is a big river.

After all, the essence of adventure is exploration.

Although they had some concerns, everyone still couldn't help their curiosity and walked over to explore.

This building seems to be some kind of temple, with a few damaged stone statues standing there, and between the gaps in the bluestone floor,

Covered with moss and unknown plants,
All signs indicate that this place has been abandoned for a long time.

There are many ruins like this in the world. Usually, once adventurers discover them, they will choose to enter them to search for any treasures left by their predecessors.

To put it bluntly, it has the same nature as tomb robbing.

And sometimes, the risk is not proportional to the return, and you may end up with just enough money to buy a few pieces of bread and beer.

Furthermore, there must be traps in the ruins to prevent uninvited guests from raiding everything!

If you are not careful, you can easily die inside...

"Do you want to go in? According to the current position of the sun, it will be evening soon,"

"If you can't find a settlement or town today, this would be a better place to shelter from the wind and rain, what do you think? Malone."

Looking up at the sky, Gale asked Malone, who was staring at the entrance of the temple without saying a word.

Astelon couldn't help but shudder, showing a look of disgust on his face:
"Sleeping in the ruins? Well, as long as there are no moving skeletons there."

Seeing this, Gale smiled playfully and started to popularize science:
"This is not necessarily true. As far as I know, necromancy is one of the most common traps in ruins. Once triggered, countless undead creatures will awaken,"

"They will not return to their long sleep until all intruders are killed,"

"Quietly waiting for the next group of victims to arrive."

Listening to their conversation, Ma Long was also considering whether to enter it.

It's getting late now. If you leave and can't find a place with people before night comes, you can only camp in the forest.

Not to mention the high level of danger, if it rains again, everyone will be drowned.

But if you stay, bad things will happen.

If he remembered correctly, someone had already arrived at this place first. What would happen if two groups of tomb robbers bumped into each other~

There must be swords against each other, and the winner will get the "right of ownership" of the ruins.
People who dare to take risks basically have two brushes with them. He doesn't care about the undead. Is it possible that the paladin is still afraid of a group of skeletons?

"Ma Long, what is your decision?" x2
Then the two women looked at him and asked in unison.

"...Go ahead, but before that, we have to be mentally prepared for battle,"

"Gale, in your current situation, how many times can you cast spells?"
