An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

"What's in this lantern? It's so bright."

Veer said to herself curiously.

She is not the only one, everyone is like this,

The light emitted by the lantern is very dazzling, making it difficult to look directly at it. More importantly, it can prevent shadows from approaching! The lighting range is not too small!

You must know that the curse in Leithwen Town is more powerful than other areas.
An ordinary light source can't last even half a second here! But this thing can successfully resist, which inevitably makes people curious.

Gale couldn't resist the drive of curiosity and couldn't help but urgently urged:
"Ma Long, open it and take a look,"

According to what the Master said, Ma Long fumbled and found the button to turn on the outside of the lantern. The inside was clearly visible, including a palm-sized
A little man with butterfly wings and green skin.

Lying motionless in the lantern, the surrounding body radiates light like the moon.

Obviously, it is the light source.

"Piks? Damn the cult, they actually use goblins as light sources."

Gale took a closer look and instantly recognized the little creature.

Pickle, a kind of little goblin from the Goblin Wilderness plane, is mischievous and loves to play pranks and tease others.
But his nature is not bad.

"It's dead?"

Karak leaned behind Malone, looked carefully, and asked after hesitation.

In response, Harsin shook his head in denial:

"No, the Pixie will no longer glow after death. It is most likely caused by some kind of magic that caused it to fall into a coma. This kind of little fairy is active by nature,"

"If you are imprisoned like this, you will definitely babble and angrily criticize the person who did it."

"I think the Supreme God and his gang couldn't stand it, so they tried every means to shut her up."

This analysis is sound and reasonable, with no faults to be found. The main reason is that most people don't understand creatures like goblins at all, so naturally they can't say anything.

Looking at the glowing lantern, Ying Xin touched his chin:

"Since this thing can resist the shadow, it's just right that it can share Malone's pressure,"

"I don't need to use daylight anymore."

Hearing this, Gale frowned slightly and said with displeasure:

"...Ying Xin, your words are too cold-blooded. We should not continue to trap the Pixies in the lantern for our own sake,"

"She continues to shine like this, perhaps at the expense of her life force."

If it were a demon, she would never hesitate in the slightest, but that's not the case with Pix.
How can we bear to trap the other party in a "cage"?

After saying that, she took it upon herself to gently pinch the pixies out of the lantern, hold them in the palm of her hand and observe carefully. Most of the pixies have moving beauty.

Of course, there are only a few like hags.

And this Pixie is very cute, especially with a pair of crystal clear butterfly wings.

"Gail, you..."

"Forget it, Shadow Heart, let her decide. We can't be like the Supreme True God Order and ignore life, even if it's a goblin."

Ma Long held Ying Xin's shoulders and shook his head to persuade,

After all, the long-lasting light of the lantern comes at the cost of consuming the life of the goblin.
He would rather let this little life go, since he has the ability to resist the shadow anyway.

Seeing the captain speak, Ying Xin stopped talking and stood watching silently with her arms folded.

The next moment, the magic network energy emerged from Gale's palm, and he whispered a spell,
The motionless Pixie suddenly reacted, and when it woke up, it was frightened at first, but soon found that it was no longer imprisoned.

Instead, he stayed in the palm of a beautiful woman, surrounded by a group of tall people.

"Did I miss something?"

At this time, Astailun came closer with brisk steps, wiped the remaining blood stains from the corner of her mouth, and licked it clean without wasting a single bit of "food".
When she saw the Pickling, she was stunned:
"What the hell is this?" "I'm not a toy! I have a name! I'm Leah Andrea."

Upon hearing this, the Pixie flapped its butterfly wings on its back, and suddenly flew up with anger.

At exactly this moment, she discovered several corpses of believers of the Supreme God, as well as the lantern that had been opened but not thrown away in Ma Long's hand, and everything became clear in an instant.

"Did you release me? Thank you! Thank you very much!"

"Those damn guys stuffed me into a lantern and tortured me day and night, which made me extremely painful. For a moment, I felt like I was going to die inside."

This little goblin's mood changes were shockingly fast in a very short period of time, and he chattered endlessly.

It was not for nothing that the cultists knocked her unconscious.

After coming back to his senses, Gale said with a smile:

"You are free from now on, Leah, I am Gale of Waterdeep."

Pickleia flapped her wings and came to Gale's side and circled twice:
"Mage? It seems that you have lifted the sleeping spell on me. You have done me a favor. How should I repay you?"

"What about gold and silver? Or knowledge?"

Fairies usually repay their kindness, but if they are too greedy, they may want something here or something else.

In the end, it will be all in vain and you will get nothing.

Knowing this, Gale shook his head and replied:

"I have long heard that goblins' magic is unique. Leah, do you have a spell to prevent shadows from invading you? We really need it."

Leah glanced at the paladin and emphasized:
"Protection from the Shadow Curse? It's too simple~ But are you sure? Mage,"

"You only have one chance to choose."

The group has the ability to resist shadows. She feels that it is better to choose to obtain the knowledge of fairies. The desire of people like mages is very simple.
More knowledge, after all knowledge is power!
"Yes, I'm sure."

"Well, as you wish, mage."

After saying that, a pair of Pik's butterfly wings emitted a bright light and flew around above everyone's heads, and fell down with little bits of crystal dust.

After doing all this, Leah stopped and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief:

"Everyone, we owe each other nothing now. I'm going home. No matter what you want to do here, I sincerely wish you good luck and see you again."

huh~
In an instant, the Pixie flew far away and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
I believe that after this experience, she will not be caught easily again.

"...Gail, I wrongly blamed you."

After the goblin left, Shadow Heart lowered his head and sighed softly.

What she just said undoubtedly proves that releasing the Pixies actually has a purpose, rather than just doing good and sympathizing with the other party.

"Don't say that, I did sympathize with that little guy at first,"

"And Mystra likes Pixies very much..."

As he talked, Gale couldn't help but recall the past, and his mood suddenly became depressed.

Seeing this situation, Astelon shook his head and said sarcastically:

"You just can't forget the goddess who asked you to die? What is it about her that you should never forget? If she really cares about you,"

"Why did you send an old man here to deliver the cold death order?"

Taking a deep breath to calm down, Gale smiled and said:

"...Some things are not easy to forget, but I know you mean well, thank you."

When it comes to business matters, no matter how much they dislike each other, they will stick together to warm each other up. It is normal to have conflicts, but they will never escalate. Each other is the only support for these wretches.
