An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 20 Stage
Looking at this terrifying undead creature in tattered robes, Gale's curiosity was successfully aroused, and he said with eyes filled with wonder:

"Undead creatures without hostility are really strange."

However, Shadow Heart did not relax his vigilance easily. He grasped the short spear tightly and prepared an offensive posture.
A serious look on his face reminded him:

"Be careful, it may attack suddenly."

After hearing this, Ma Long shook his head helplessly. The four of them alone were unable to cause any effective damage to the guy in front of him.
And if the other party really has that idea, several people will be powerless to fight back.
The group was wiped out on the spot...

At this time, the undead creature stared at Ma Long with its pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, and its old voice spoke slowly:

"Ah, traveler from afar, your appearance was not what we expected,"

"I have a question, why are you here?"

Hearing this, Ma Long's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, people saw where he came from, but he really didn't know how to reply.

for what? He woke up inexplicably and found himself in the mind flayer's pouch.
I didn’t want to come here at all! After thinking for a long time, he reconsidered:

"...I don't owe you an answer."

These words were actually part of a gamble, but fortunately he won and the other party didn't have much reaction, so he tilted his head to show confusion.

"Forget it, the thread of fate has been quietly moved, and the person on stage has been temporarily replaced. However, the stage has been set, and we are looking forward to your performance."

"When the time comes, we will meet again. Goodbye."

As soon as he finished speaking, the undead creature walked out of the entrance to the tomb without looking back.

Everyone was left confused.

"What the hell is that nonsense talking about?"

Astaire was full of surprise and confusion, and looked to her companions for answers.

The mage with the highest intelligence among the group, Gale, looked solemn and lowered her head in deep thought. She tried to understand the meaning of what the other party said.

The final conclusions that can be drawn will all make people feel ripples in their hearts...

"Maybe...some existence planned a stage play, and as for the actors..."

Although Gale's words were choppy, everyone roughly understood what she meant.

Ying Xin had a cold face and a rather unhappy tone:

"It's us, how dare a mere undead creature..."

Unless you are someone who specializes in the performance, anyone who comes will be very unhappy. Besides, if it is not for livelihood,

No one in this world wants to be an entertainer.

"Calm down, Shadow Heart, that guy is not an ordinary undead creature, what he represents..."

Seeing this, Ma Long forced a smile and raised his hand to point to the ceiling above his head.

Seeing his movements, everyone understood clearly that in this world where gods are everywhere, he has the right to treat everyone as an actor.
There is no one else but them who are above us. As a mortal, what can we do?

Immediately, Ying Xin and Gale stopped talking and acted worried, not knowing what they were thinking.
But Asteron is different. Her smile and words are full of sarcasm:

"Oh~ I'm really flattered to be paid attention to by the gods,"

"Can they see if I dance a scene live?"

Some non-believers don't have awe of God, and she happens to be this kind of person. It's thanks to the fact that gods usually look down upon mortals, otherwise...

Ma Long smiled helplessly at her words.
Everyone in the world is the protagonist of their own life, and they work hard to interpret the story until the end.
It doesn't actually matter whether there is an audience or not. There is no need to generate unnecessary negative emotions about it. "The guardian of the tomb lies here, and knowledge brings salvation... It seems to be the guardian of the tomb."

The next moment, Gale came to the sarcophagus and softly read the inscription engraved on a plaque below. Then he looked at Malone in confusion.

Seemingly asking why he would associate it with the gods,
Maybe, the other party is really talking nonsense.

"I know you have questions, but everyone has hidden secrets in their hearts. When the time comes, I will answer truthfully,"

"Next, we should have a good rest."

……

Later, when everyone walked out of the tomb, they saw the tombkeepers walking around in the hall, muttering something, but they ignored each other.
Go back the same way and come outside again.

It is already dusk, the sun will disappear from the sky soon, and night is approaching,
The adventurers who came first had set up a camp, which saved them a lot of trouble. If the weather is bad tonight, it would not be too late to enter the monastery.
If it doesn’t rain, I can still fall asleep looking at the stars~

After laying out their sleeping bags, everyone sat around the campfire, looking at the glowing flames in trance. No one spoke.
Everything that has happened recently has had a huge impact on everyone.

Mind flayer, implanted with bugs, sent to hell,

The above things only exist in ordinary people's imagination, storybooks or literature, but they have experienced them all in a short period of time.

"...Aren't you tired?"

When Ma Long came back to his senses, he saw that none of his friends were going to sleep, so he immediately asked.

"I don't feel that way for the time being. I'll be responsible for keeping vigil."

First of all, Astelon was the first to respond, quickly shaking his head and smiling meaningfully,
Then he secretly fixed his gaze on Gale.

"I have to meditate. If you guys are chatting, please keep your voice down."

After being brought back to reality, Ying Xin knelt down on the sleeping bag, straightened her back, put her hands on her thighs and closed her eyes to start her "homework" day after day.

As for Gale, he silently took out the magic scroll he found earlier and spread it out.

Relearn the spells you were forced to forget.

"Okay, everyone, go to bed as soon as possible. Tomorrow is very important."

After saying that, Ma Long stopped persuading, placed the weapon next to the pillow, lay down on his own, looked up at the stars in the sky, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

This scene is rare to see in my hometown, but nevertheless,
He didn't think it was a good thing to travel through time, mainly because Faerun was too dangerous.

“Miss my phone and PC. (Chinese)”

Say something softly and listen to the crackling sound of firewood,
Gradually, he slowly closed his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Ma Long, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly woken up by a burst of pain, and the fat worm in his mind became restless again!
But he subconsciously suppressed the idea of ​​screaming, his eyes widened, he gritted his teeth and breathed heavily,
Continuously resist the urge to wail.

This process was undoubtedly extremely painful, but Ma Long had no way to stop it or slow down the pain...

Fortunately, he is very tenacious and has extraordinary perseverance.
He remained silent for an extremely long two minutes. The bug stopped moving, and he was no longer sleepy, so he had to turn his head and look at his companions beside him.

It’s okay if you don’t look at it, but the problem will come when you look at it!

Like a thief, Asteron came to the sleeping Gale and squatted down with light steps.
Those who don't know may think that she wants to steal, but Ma Long knows that what this woman wants is not money, but blood!

The pale vampire finally revealed her fangs.
