An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 172 Liberator

The journey of escorting civilians was very peaceful, and they did not encounter monsters or more people from the black network.

The Zhentarim have a stronghold in the Underdark, where a large number of boxes of supplies that have not been transported are stored, all covered with cloth marked with a winged snake pattern.

There is also a wooden elevator in the stronghold, which is the only way back to the surface in this area.

Because the Selûne Temple was bombed, it was not known whether it could be accessed. There was no other way. Malone had no choice but to come here and lead the civilians to board the elevator one after another.

Push the pull rod, and the platform will vibrate once or twice, then slowly climb upwards at a slower speed.

It took me nearly ten minutes to reach the top.

But after reaching the top, they still haven't reached the surface. They are still in the cave under the ground. It is completely closed and has no roads on all sides!
Fortunately, these civilians had walked through it before and knew that one of the walls was an illusion.
In front of Ma Long, they "passed through the wall" one after another.

However, the next second they walked out, they came back in panic because there were people patrolling and guarding outside, and they were almost discovered...

"Asteron, go and check the location of the exit. Don't make any big noise."

Through the exit, we came to a large, messy and dilapidated cellar. Arriving at this place proved that the surface of the earth was already within easy reach!

Then he disappeared and passed through the wall of illusion.

After quickly and easily defeating another sneaky Zhentarim guard, I stepped out of the house and felt the long-lost sunshine flooding my body, feeling great.

But after arriving at the exit, there was new trouble. Several people happened to walk in with a box! The moment the two sides met, they looked at each other...

Defeating two people in an instant is really a skill.
Although it was the first strike and not a head-on battle, the person died after all, and nothing else mattered.

Knowing the situation, Ma Long immediately asked her to take the lead in fleeing with the civilians, and he was responsible for taking care of the aftermath.
The two escorted them one after the other, and the civilians were trembling with nervousness. Fortunately, they didn't make any noise on the way, and everything went smoothly.

The victim's eyes were full of horror and despair, but he could not make any sound, blood continued to flow from his body, and he died within a short time.

In less than three minutes, Astelon cleanly and silently eliminated the guards outside. After she described that there was a bigger cave outside,
There are many masked men from the Zhentarim, and the exit is not far from them.

Taking advantage of the moment of daze, Astelon reacted very quickly and threw the dagger vigorously! Hit someone in the neck!
Then he ran forward quickly, jumped directly on a man and knocked him down, exposed his fangs, and bit down hard on the target's throat!
Not only did it gnaw out the trachea, but it also tore off a large piece of flesh and blood from the neck!
Her teeth are also extremely sharp weapons.

Sure enough, when they climbed out of the cellar,

That damn place in the Underdark is really terrible, but it’s more comfortable to go up there~
"Ah ~ the sun."

Know it all.

During the time he spent lying on the ground, he had never missed the warmth of the scorching sun above his head so much.

At the same time, Astelon treated the civilians quite coldly and said:
"We will escort you here at most, and then you can leave on your own. Whether you live or die, whether you can return home successfully or not depends on your luck."

Opening his arms, Ma Long closed his eyes and raised his head and sighed.

"do not worry."

Agreeing to Ma Long's instructions, Astelon put on his hood calmly, took out the blood-stained dagger, and glanced at the female elf coldly.

It has to be said that Astelon's investigation was very good, with all kinds of hidden traps.

It's about tens of meters away and you can sneak past.

After wiping the blood on his mouth and taking back the dagger, Astelon continued to lead the way as if nothing had happened. When the civilians saw this situation, they were inevitably frightened.
But when he thought that the other party was trying to save himself, he forced himself to calm down.
Keep your mouth shut and follow silently.

Ma Long glanced at the body and couldn't help but sigh, his reaction was so fast and his attack was so cruel...

Being able to escort people to the surface is considered the most benevolent and righteous act.

After all, they also have important things to do.

The savior's attitude was very bad, but this did not affect the gratitude in the hearts of the civilians. They bowed deeply to express their gratitude, and then left quickly without looking back.

In particular, the female elf who had been scolded by Astelon ran away the fastest, obviously very frightened~
However, what is puzzling is that a man with blond curly hair did not leave, and said with a playful smile:
"Paladin, and this beautiful lady, I wonder if you two can donate some money as travel expenses? After all... help others to the end~"

"Of course, I will definitely pay it back. From now on, everyone will go to Baldur's Gate..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Astelon took out a dagger and threatened:

"Get out, now!"

This move frightened the other person on the spot and ran away. The scene of her murder just now was still vivid in his mind.

Looking at his back in the distance, Astelon said disdainfully:

"What the hell, you dare to ask me for money."

Not to mention that she didn’t have it with her at all. Even if she did, she wouldn’t give it to her.

In her opinion, her words were unfounded. If she gave the money away, it would be a question of whether she could see him again! It's basically destined to be a bad debt.

Hearing this, Ma Long sighed helplessly:
"Don't be so aggressive towards others, and have a nicer attitude. They will all bow to you."

"...What's the use of that? It's better to give money more realistically."

Having said that, there was a hint of a slight smile at the corner of Astelon's mouth. It was obvious that she meant what she said. In fact, it was very useful to her.

It feels really good to be respected, even if it's really of no use.

"Okay, whatever you want."

Shaking his head and smiling, Ma Long glanced at the particularly eye-catching blackened hotel not far away, turned around and walked into the house, preparing to rush back.

[Achievement Unlocked: Liberator]

[Reward: Attribute Points +2]

At this moment, two prompts popped up from the system, rewarding the paladin for his actions.
Although it is not as generous as the previous achievement, Fire Hero, the two attribute points are also very good, and one cannot be greedy.

Ma Long didn't want to save people for the reward, but he could get something in return.
Of course he was happy, he was in a good mood at the moment.

The two of them then returned to the cellar and entered the underground cave where the Zhentarim guild was located. At the entrance and exit, there was an iron box that Asdelon had put down after killing the two.

When I opened it, I found a strange-looking bottle inside.

Nothing more.

Naturally, Astelon didn't like this kind of thing. He picked it up and took a look at it, and was about to throw it away, but Ma Long stopped him in time.

Check for surface damage as if it were a baby, be very careful.

"What's the use of this thing? It makes you so nervous."

Seeing this, Astelon asked softly in confusion.

After careful inspection, no damage was found on the bottle. Ma Long couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and patiently explained:
"It looks very special. Don't throw it around, in case it contains malicious magic or harmful things..."

"Anyway, keep this in mind, understand? Otherwise you'll be doomed."

What he said about this strange bottle is true. It is dangerous.
Once broken, the consequences will be serious.
