An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

It is a cliché that gods test mortals. There are so many such legends that one can get tired of hearing them.

But if you experience it personally... that's a different story.

"...I have a question, why does Shar want to test you?"

Astelon asked slightly confused.

Hearing this, Ying Xin suddenly looked back, hesitated for a moment, and spoke what was in her heart:
"I...I have always dreamed of becoming a night judge one day to better serve the goddess I admire."

The Night Judge is a devout believer in Shar and the most loyal warrior.

A person who has received such a title is considered to be powerful and fearless of death. He dares to sacrifice himself for his faith and go through fire and water without any hesitation!

If you want to truly become one of them, very few people can do it.

Hearing this, Harsin looked at Malone with a very solemn expression. She knew how difficult and sinful the guys in the Night Judge were.

All hands are stained with the blood of innocent people!

He may not be a "very evil person", but he is basically an enemy of justice.
The good camp will be punished by everyone.

If the pastor really gets what he wants, it will be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the team leader...

Seeing the strange look from the druid, Malone understood his thoughts almost instantly and nodded to express his peace of mind.

He will never let the other person go down the wrong path and never return!

What's more, Shadow Heart does not belong to darkness.

"It's a good thing to have dreams, but don't forget what I said before, Ying Xin, your past is full of mysteries. I hope you will be the first to find the missing part,"

"Follow what you want in your heart, because who you are now doesn't mean you are "you"."

This statement is confusing at first glance, but once you think about it carefully and taste it from the bottom of your heart,
It’s not hard to understand what Malone really meant.

Ying Xin is not a "complete" person now, and any decision he makes is, in a sense, not his "own" choice!

"I...not me?"

First, she was stunned, and then Ying Xin asked herself in astonishment.

The smart Gale knew the meaning of the captain's words, so he took a deep breath and explained patiently:

"No, of course you are you, but you cannot represent your previous self. If "he" is still there, you may have other opinions at this moment,"

"Suppose one day, 'he' comes back and sees the life written by you, and he may feel dissatisfied."

"I personally think that your dream is the most important and critical crossroads in this life, and Ma Long's intention is not to let you... regret it in the future."

Once you make a choice and decide which path to take, the other side will never tolerate him.
This time is the critical dividing line related to his entire life, and there is no turning back.

At this point, Ying Xin showed a rare expression of confusion. Before he could think more, Ma Long said again:

"Okay, let's get over this hurdle first and then think about other things."

"The most important thing right now is to find the Necromancer Balthazar. He must know some unknown secrets about Kessrik."

There is another stone door behind the Shar statue facing everyone, but if you want to get through it, you need to solve the puzzle, otherwise you will be bounced away and you will never reach it.

But the answer is also very simple,
The seals embedded in the floor tiles clearly stated that it was darkness.

Several lamps burning strange-colored fires are hung in the room to provide light. Extinguish them, and the correct path will appear!
"Gail, please."

"no problem."

Seeing Malone pointing at the light source, Gale nodded in agreement. This kind of puzzle was naturally not difficult for her, and she immediately cast the ice ray spell to accurately attack each target. As the flames disappeared, the room fell into darkness.
At the same time, two circles of purple-light magical wards lit up around the statue of Shar! Obviously, it is precisely because of it that those who approach will be bounced away.

Fortunately, the barrier is not completely closed, there are gaps.

Seeing this situation, Ying Xin hesitated for a moment before stepping forward again.
Go through the gap to reach the statue of Shar.

Looking at the Night Goddess he admired from close range, he was filled with confusion. Now was the best opportunity to fall into the arms of the Nightsinger.
This is what he has dreamed of!
However, this unshakable faith cracked under Ma Long's repeated persuasion.

Doubts and desire to explore the truth of the past arise.

"My lady...what on earth am I supposed to do?"

Yingxin clasped his fingers together, lowered his head and softly asked God for guidance.
And the next moment, he also received a response.

The hesitation in his eyes was gone. At the same time, Shar's statue also began to glow and make sounds. The barrier no longer existed and the stone door opened.

"Welcome, child, follow my voice and prove your worth."

Seeing this, Ma Long couldn't help frowning, but in the end he said nothing.

After all, Shar's weight is very important in Yingxin! To tell the truth, it is not easy to persuade people to turn back and make the right decision.

But don’t worry at this time, there will still be a turning point before everything settles!

"Walk."

After waving his hand, Ma Long led everyone to move forward and officially entered the huge and magnificent Temple of Lost Shar hidden underground.

It's very impressive, but the buildings are also largely damaged, and corpses and bones can be seen everywhere.

There are various signs that there was a battle!

The attackers caused extremely heavy damage and massacre to the temple and the Shar believers in it! This is definitely not something ordinary people can do.

Combined with the requirements of the devil Raphael,
It is conceivable that the target of their hunting is somewhere here!

"Be careful, I smell a familiar scent and it's here."

Karak smelled the stench of corruption from hell in the cold air, and immediately reminded everyone to be vigilant with a solemn expression.

In response, Astelon smiled casually:
"What are you afraid of? If they come here on their own initiative, it will save us the trouble of searching again."

In her opinion, since the two sides are going to have a fight anyway, wouldn't it be nice to bring it to her door? It can save everyone a lot of effort.

But having lived in Karak in hell, I know how terrifying the devil is!
He shook his head quickly and emphasized:
"I feel that this demon is unusual. There is a high probability that it is not an easy thing to deal with. Don't take it lightly, otherwise you will really suffer."

However, Astelon still didn't pay attention to it, and waved his hand and smiled:
"Tough guy, don't make a fuss. There are so many of us, can't we defeat one of them?"

"What if it is more than just itself? Raphael never said that we are facing a hellish creature. Never underestimate your opponent,"

"Because we cannot afford to fail, remember that, Asteron."

Weir crossed her arms and gave a serious warning. At the same time, her eyes were still wary of her surroundings.
Afraid that the target is hidden on the edge.

There was deathly silence in the deserted temple. Apart from their conversations, there was only the whistling of the cold wind from time to time...

At this moment, Ying Xin suddenly said with a solemn expression:

"My lady, she calls to me."

With that said, the priest walked straight into the darkness alone, directly separated from the team, waited without stopping, and walked very fast. (End of chapter)
