An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

Asteron was not surprised when he got the information and asked for it. After all, Raphael was the devil, and he would have to pay something for making a deal with him.

"Patience is a good thing, I will tell you next time I see you,"

"After you have completed your requests, I will come as promised and tell you the truth."

After saying that, Raphael put away the two chess pieces, stood up and put them in his pocket. This small thing is a symbol and continuation of the transaction between them.

One thing about devils is that they are better than humans. They have a higher reputation and will definitely do what they promise.

Ma Long was still sitting on the chair and coldly called out to the devil before he left:

"Raphael, if I can't get the chess piece back, be careful about moving your head,"

"I can't kill you on the main material plane. At worst, I will go to hell again. You'd better weigh the price for me."

Although he knew that this devil would keep his word, he could not avoid verbal threats.

Raphael said nothing more, smiled slightly and saluted, and then a flash of red light disappeared! The figure disappeared without a trace in an instant.

bang~
Just a second after the devil left, Weir stepped forward and slapped the table with a look of hatred on his face:

"What on earth do you think? I made a deal with the devil, and my end is not enough to serve as a negative lesson?!"

In response, Ma Long sat calmly and looked up at the angry Border Blade:

"All deals with the devil are desperate attempts by those who have no choice but to retreat. Karak has no other chance."

"As a leader, I must find a new way for him to survive."

"Besides, I don't think it's stupid for you to sign a contract with the devil, because you must have done it to protect something and had no choice but to do it."

It is indeed not good to be associated with the devil, but if the person concerned has other choices,

Why bother?
There is nothing we can do, we have no choice but to do it.

After hearing this, Weir's eyes quickly shrank to the size of a pinhole, and she lowered her head in a daze.
There is a hint of sadness between the eyebrows...

"I don't understand, Malone, is my life really worth what you do? Even going to hell. I thought you were joking."

At this time, Karak asked with a serious face.

He still remembered what the other party said seemingly unintentionally that night at the party.

Ma Long stood up and smiled slightly:
"It's a joke, but it can also be a promise. If everyone really comes to the end, you are the only one destined to die."

"I can't imagine it, and I don't want to see it happen with my own eyes."

These words made everyone present feel heavy.

Nowadays, everyone is indeed in a lot of trouble, but no one's fate is destined to death! Except for Karak...

Even if he gets rid of the bugs, he still cannot avoid death.

As the journey continues, the emotions and bonds between each other become deeper and deeper. No one wants this strong man to work hard all the way to the end.
It was a dead end after all, and it felt really... so hopeless.

"...You have been thinking about all of us, but what about yourself?"

Suddenly, Gale frowned and asked.

In her impression, this paladin always thinks of his companions.
But he only ignored himself.

Another meaning of these words is that he is actually asking about himself. The team members do not know this leader deeply and know almost nothing about his past.

Hearing that there was something in her words, Ma Long explained perfunctorily in a joking manner:

“My biggest trouble is actually you guys~ I’m racking my brains basically every day on how to make the best of my role as captain,” “How to get rid of these unlucky guys around me who are plagued by bad luck, even bugs are nothing. "

Responsibility is the biggest trouble he faces,
It may not be as powerful as the Destruction Sphere, but its damage to people's hearts is huge.

"You know...you've done your best."

After lowering his head and brewing in his heart for a moment, Gale said with tenderness and sincerity.

"That's right." x5
All the partners agreed in unison. They were really lucky to meet a leader with such a sense of responsibility and constant dedication.
If someone else were in charge, the atmosphere in the team might not be what it is now.

"Please, don't be sensational. Do you want to see me cry?"

Smiling and pretending to wipe his eyes, Ma Long successfully escaped again.
It's still not the best time to tell everything.

With one sentence, everyone returned to normal mood and laughed happily. Seeing that their partners gradually accepted the deal with the devil,

Malone immediately left and headed towards Sefolo's location.

According to Blacksmith Demo, Sevro was also a paladin. They had the same profession, so they had some topics to talk about.

……

"We meet again, Sevro."

Arriving at a shabby bar, Ma Long leaned on the table and looked at the drunk old acquaintances saying hello.

At that time in the green forest, the other party was haggard, and now he is even more hopeless. At this moment, he has nothing to do but drink and drink.

He said hello as if he didn't hear him.

Seeing this, Astelon said unceremoniously:

"Hey! I'm talking to you. After all, we are also your benefactors who have helped you. Why don't you even say hello back?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she snatched the wine bottle from the other party's hand. This behavior finally aroused Sefolo's reaction, and she tried to snatch it back without saying a word!
Unfortunately, his reaction and hand speed were not very fast, and Asteron easily dodged it.
And he raised his knees and punched the opponent in the abdomen! Put him to the ground on the spot.

"Don't be violent, he is already very sad."

The kind-hearted Gail was very sympathetic and stopped her words and deeds.
As a leader, Sefolo failed to protect his compatriots. He must be full of pain and have no one to talk to...

However, Ma Long shook his head and stared coldly at the huddled figure on the ground:
"No, Gale, you have to be tough when dealing with an alcoholic, otherwise he won't wake up,"

"Shadow Heart, Karak, pick him up."

This time he rarely supported Asteron's actions and even ordered his companions to take action.

Shadow Heart did it without hesitation. Karak hesitated for a moment before stepping forward. The two of them worked together to pick up the unconscious Sefro.
Exerting control so that he cannot move.

"Please wait! What are you doing!?"

Suddenly a female voice exclaimed in their ears, and everyone turned their heads when they heard the sound.
A blue-skinned tiefling girl,

Everyone has seen her before. She played the music well and had a loud voice. Her voice immediately attracted the attention of the harpist and many flame fists.

Many people looked over at the bar.

Then Ma Long walked out from among his friends and said with a kind smile:
"Still remember me?"

"Hmm... Paladin, what are you doing? Why are you doing this to Sefolo?"

Of course, the girl still recognizes the savior for whom she dedicated a song. If it weren't for Malone and his team, the tiefling refugees would still be trapped in the verdant woodland.

Malone pointed at Sefolo and was filled with indignation:
"Of course I'll beat him to wake him up. I find his appearance extremely unpleasant,"

"My compatriot was killed, and he drank alcohol here. Look at that. I have to teach him a lesson and let him know that he has to avenge himself and not be a coward." (End of Chapter)
