An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

"Ying Xin, walk slower."

Seeing that the other party was walking forward on his own, with his back gradually getting further and further away, Ma Long called out helplessly and waved for everyone to follow.

While silently following Ying Xin forward, Harsin approached the captain and whispered:

"Ma Long, forgive me for my words, but I believe you should understand the priest's loyalty to the gods..."

She was very sure that no believer would refuse the god he worshiped and open his arms to her. After all, this kind of treatment was not something that ordinary people could enjoy.

In this regard, Ma Long said nothing and looked deeply at the back of his partner in front of him.

Although Shadow Heart was here for the first time, under Shar's guidance, he seemed to be very familiar with the temple and knew exactly where to go.

Soon, everyone came to an ancient altar with luminous inscriptions carved on it.
There are two grooves on the table, one of which contains an eye-catching light ball, and the other is empty. It is obvious that this is most likely some kind of mechanism.

Seeing this, Ying Xin walked to the altar alone, prayed quietly and communicated with the gods.
At the same time, Gale, who was full of curiosity, could not help but step forward to observe carefully and read out the ancient words on the altar:
"Face Lady Shar's ordeal bravely and conquer her trials,"

"As a Judge of the Night... rise."

After the words fell, Yingxin said without looking back, with a rather excited tone:
"This is the Iron Hand Temple of Shar. The Dark Lady's best warriors, the Night Judges, were all born here. I remember this story very clearly,"

"And now...I'm standing here."

Astelon, who was sitting next to him, smiled playfully and said, "It's not a big deal."

"Congratulations~ It seems your dream is coming true."

Of course, as soon as these words came out, everyone immediately looked at them with unkind eyes...

This is why the Cursed Land looks like this now.
Thanks to Shar and her followers! Once you become a judge of the night, you can imagine that your hands will be stained with the blood of innocent people in the future.

And this sinful and dark path may at some point cause partners who have lived and died together in the past to face each other with swords on a cruel battlefield.

At this time, Ying Xin turned around and looked at everyone with a firm face:

"I want to complete the trial. If I succeed, then my lady will definitely give us the power to help us fight against the Supreme God and the traitor Kesriksom."

Even if the gods only exert a little power, for mortals,

That is unimaginably powerful!

So when Astelon heard this, he became interested and raised his eyebrows:

"Really? Then what are you waiting for? Let's go."

The threats posed by the Supreme True God Order and Keseriksom are so great that they are not on the same level as all the enemies encountered before!

If the god is willing to help, the chance of winning can at least be doubled, even if she does not engage in belief and worship.
I won't refuse this kind of "temptation", because of my strength~ Who would dislike this?

At this moment, Ma Long was hesitant to speak, and there were some things he kept mentioning, which would inevitably offend others. In the end, he just nodded calmly.

Next, under the leadership of the priest, everyone "walked around" in the temple hall.
The search for Balthazar and the hunting of the demons hidden there were all forgotten, thanks to Malone's repeated emphasis on unity.

The weight of their companions is very heavy in their hearts.

……

Soon after, Shadow Heart was guided by Shar and led a group of people to the first trial site.

It is a level that tests stealth very much. Shar’s warriors are all the most deadly and terrifying hunters in the darkness.
You can easily get what you want.

Shadow Heart was very familiar with this skill, and he confidently performed a blood sacrifice on the Shar statue holding a container at the entrance.

Take the knife and cut it into the palm of your hand, and drop some blood.
Bang~

The door opened in response, but at this moment... Ying Xin stopped in front of the door, lowered his head and thought for a moment, as if he was still mumbling something.
I couldn't help but look back at my friends.

Seeing this scene, Ma Long suppressed his joy and asked calmly:
"what happened?"

"It's okay, I... have a special feeling, and my mind is a little confused."

"Everyone, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."

Ying Xin shook his head to dispel the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Later, under everyone's watchful eyes, we went to challenge the difficulties ahead.

As the priest left, Karak, who was waiting outside, scratched his head and said worriedly:

"If he became a judge like that, would Shar really help?"

"I have always believed that it is better to rely on myself to survive today than to pray to God. I really can't trust those guys in the sky..."

Hearing this, Gale shook his head and responded:
"Each god is different, but there is one thing I strongly agree with,"

"I can't trust the goddess of the night either."

Among the evil gods, Shar is on the list.

Then Weir looked sad and mentioned the important point:
"What I'm most worried about is if Shadow Heart really becomes the Dark Night Judge, how should we treat him? Can we still trust him and give our back to him?"

After saying this, everyone looked at the silent captain who was staring at the entrance of the training ground.
Assuming that the above becomes reality, Ma Long is the one who is most entangled and embarrassed.

Can the paladin, who vows to fight against evil, tolerate the night judge who is destined to do all kinds of evil? I'm afraid it's difficult. There's still room for explanation when it comes to taking in vampire spawns.
After all, he didn't make a big mistake, and he was coerced.

"Ma Long, what do you think? If we don't interfere with this issue..."

Harsin took a step forward and asked solemnly, but before she could finish speaking, Asteron next to her took the trouble to scold:
"Hey, are you done yet? Can't Ying Xin decide what he wants to do?"

Now she is the only one who is willing to speak for Shadow Heart. Although most of the reasons are because she was forced to be a slave for two hundred years,

However, there is also a part of her that sincerely hopes that people will have the right to choose their future path...which is also the "precious thing" that she has been missing for two centuries.

Of course, as soon as she said those words, she was stared at by everyone again.

Just as a debate was about to begin, Malone raised his hand and turned back to reassure:
"Okay, everyone, calm down. At least what she said is right. Everyone has a chance to choose, no matter what the outcome will be."

"As friends, the only thing we can do is look forward to the bond of living and dying together and walking together,"

"It can make Shadow Heart hesitate for a moment and think calmly when facing the final decision. There is no other way."

It has to be said that Astelon's words touched Ma Long's heart, instantly giving up some of his "tough" persuasion tactics.

As a friend or partner, he should let the other person make their own decisions and respect their personal wishes.

As for the result, that is another story.

After a while, a special large group of magic network energy fluctuations occurred around everyone! In an instant, Ying Xin's figure appeared in it,
Return to the entrance, meet up with everyone, and have a glowing sphere in your hand.

It looks exactly the same as the one I saw on the altar before. It must be extremely important!
