An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

"Melodia..."

Ma Long read the name on the seal board softly.

Although he has never seen the true appearance of Keseriksom, he knows that he is a man full of tragedy.

Immediately, he shifted his attention. There was a diary placed on top of the coffin. He picked it up and opened it to read. It was Catherixsom's autobiography.

It starts with the birth of a child, but ends in tragedy...

The general's wife and daughter died one after another. The latter died suddenly and inexplicably for unknown reasons.

Catherixsom believes that his family, who deeply believes in Selûne,

He should be blessed by the gods, but the reality is extremely cruel. He lost his beloved wife not long ago, and then his daughter passed away.

He is a mortal and there is nothing he can do...

Under this double spiritual blow, the man lost all hope and threw himself into Shar's arms. He wanted to completely forget everything that made him sad.
It just so happens that the goddess of the night has this ability.

And the story that follows is the war between Shar believers and the Harpers Alliance and the Druids of the Green Garden a hundred years ago.

It ended with the death of Catherixsom and the arrival of the Shadow Curse.

"I found a diary but I couldn't quite understand what was written in it."

At this time Astelon came back and reported the situation, also holding a diary in her hand.
Weir, who formed a team with her, returned and told the captain that some kind of evil ritual seemed to have been performed in the tomb.
related to the deceased.

Later, Yingxin and Karak returned from the other side, and the strong man also held a diary in his hand:
"There is something written here, but... I can't make sense of it at all."

The priest looked solemn and gritted his teeth and said:
"I saw the emblem of Melkor, the King of Bones, one of the three gods of death, pieced together using bones..."

"Damn Catherixsom! How dare he betray the Dark Lady!"

The emblem is made of bones, and the behavior is undoubtedly evidence of pleasing Melkor! It is also a naked betrayal of the goddess of the night!

As Pastor Shar's Shadow Heart, it was natural that his teeth would itch with hatred.

Immediately afterwards, Gale and Harsin also rushed back. In the tomb they searched, there was a coffin that had been opened and sealed.
The seal cutting board next to it introduces that the name of the person who sleeps here is: Isobel Som.
Catheric's daughter.

In addition, there are several murals about the general's life experience, and there seems to be some kind of mechanism. Gale used his ingenuity to

In addition, Harsin, who had participated in that war, was assisting him.

Successfully opened a path to the unknown area under the tomb! Of course, the two of them did not explore on their own.
Instead, return quickly and tell everything truthfully.

The three groups all made their own discoveries. As the captain, Ma Long summarized and organized it. After reading the diary, he summarized the following points...

First of all, when Kesriksom died, Shar did not comply with the request.

Let him forget everything and gain eternal peace.

His soul has been in boundless darkness for a hundred years. Recently, he was "awakened" by a guy named Balthazar and returned to the world.

And under the other party's persuasion, he changed his faith again and joined Melkor's army.

He wants to exchange allegiance to the other party in exchange for the chance of his daughter returning to him, even if he has to become the enemy of the world!

Judging from the current actual situation, he succeeded. There happened to be a coffin opened in the mausoleum.

The King of Bones is not like the Goddess of the Night, who is completely dishonest and throws people away when they are no longer useful. From the very beginning, he brought back the things that the general cares about most!
It is obvious that Keserix Thom is working for Melkor now. "Isobelsom, Isobel...could it be a coincidence?"

Gale touched his chin, recalled the names that appeared on the seal board and whispered softly, lowering his head to think.

Isobel has seen the Selune priest who guards the Final Light Hotel. As for whether she is really the daughter of this general, it is not yet known.

But I am actually 80% sure in my heart!
Shadow Heart, on the other hand, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and prayed softly:

"My lady, I swear that I will kill the traitor Catherixsom with my own hands."

"I never expected that Keswicksum would have such a tragic past. Alas, the two people I care about most in my life passed away one after another..."

Harsin couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, but in the next second, his face suddenly changed and he said solemnly:
"However, this is not a reason for him to kill innocent people indiscriminately and do evil."

pat~

Ma Long closed the diary in his hand, nodded and said:

"He has been driven by the grief of the death of his loved ones and relatives, leading him down a wrong path that is destined to be irreversible..."

Just what he did cannot be forgiven. In his diary, Keserixsom also implicitly stated that he knew that this was a direction of no return.
But for the sake of his daughter, he would never look back, even if it means causing a bloody storm and destroying the world.

"Hey~ we are not much behind him."

Astelon looked disdainful and said:

"I am the worst, no doubt about it. Secondly, Karak has been trapped in hell for many years, Veer has horns, Gale even has a big bomb that will explode at any time."

Compared with the tragic fate of their group, a few of them were even worse than General Soum.

Upon hearing this, Ma Long sighed and shook his head:

"This is not a competition, move on."

If you want to compare who is more miserable, there are countless unlucky people in the world!
After saying that, he threw the diary on the coffin and led his friends to quickly go to Gale and Harsin to open the entrance to the unknown area.

This is a cliff that goes vertically downward. The exact height cannot be clearly seen.
On both sides stand conspicuous and huge statues of Shar holding weapons. Their chests are still glowing, as if they are a large disc embedded in the floor.
Continuous supply of energy…

"My lady, she calls to me."

The moment he saw the statue, Ying Xin informed everyone of the situation with piety. His eyes were full of fanaticism, but his cold face changed little.

As soon as these words came out, it proved that there was a different cave below, located at the Furnace of Revenge.
Priests have also received calls from the gods!
"It seems that down here is Shar's temple..."

Hearing this, Harsin looked solemnly at the exquisite statues of the Night Goddess on both sides.

The Furnace of Vengeance is located near the Underground of Final Light, and the huge temple seen before, judging from the approximate distance,
It happens to be right below the Somme family mausoleum!
There was a reason not to go last time, but now, in order to know the secret of General Som's immortality, the group must explore further.

"...let's go."

Walking to the edge and looking around, Ma Long stepped onto the big disc and stood there. The lifting device driven by magic sensed someone's arrival and activated instantly!

The disk slowly descends on its own,
Seeing this scene, everyone quickly followed, before the distance was too high,
They jumped onto the disc one after another, and after supporting each other to stand firm, everyone headed towards the unknown depths of the underground without saying a word.
