An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

"Then what? Keep talking."

Asdelon listened attentively, eager to know the follow-up.

Raphael smiled and continued:

"If the ritual is completed, all of Kazador's abilities in vampire form will be greatly enhanced. He will no longer be hungry for blood, and will not be afraid of sunlight."

"Unlike you, who relies on the parasites in your head to walk in the daylight."

The so-called ascended vampire, in general, is a life form that has no flaws, is immortal, powerful and unique!
It is no longer a bloodthirsty monster that hides during the day and comes out at night and cannot be seen in the light.

Then Raphael's expression changed to serious:
"Of course, everything that is profitable has a price to pay. Kazador needs to offer a certain number of souls to the great devil Mephisto."

"This includes all of his derivatives. You are one of the keys to his ascension."

"The scar binds you to the ritual. He will do everything in his power to find you and sacrifice your soul to fulfill his twisted life."

Bang!
Karak slammed the table again and cursed:

"You bastard! That guy is dead! I'm going to chop him into eight pieces!"

"Ascended vampires... I will never allow such a thing to be born and bring disaster to the world."

Weier nodded in agreement and echoed the words solemnly.

Putting aside the issue of partners for now, just based on the characteristic of not being afraid of light, ascended vampires should not exist in this world!

Otherwise, it will wreak havoc on the world! All the common people will be unable to escape the tragic fate of becoming captive blood food...

"Well, that's all I have to say. I won't keep you here any longer. Your road ahead is extremely dangerous. I hope we can have another chance to talk."

"Finally...good luck~"

Raphael made a sincere wish, and suddenly threw something out.
Ma Long caught it subconsciously, and the touch instantly told him what the object was. But before he could react, he heard a snap of fingers in his ears.

pop~
In an instant, the scene around them changed! At the same time, everyone fell to the ground with a plop.

"Hiss! Damn devil."

Asdelon stood up, dusted himself off and cursed.

The trip back and forth was so hasty that you traveled through different dimensions in the blink of an eye. The experience was very bad, extremely terrible!

Then the others stood up one after another, without verbally spitting or insulting him.
They all subconsciously looked around to see if it was safe.

"This is... the End Light Inn."

After careful identification, Wei'er told everyone's location in a heavy face and low voice.

They are currently in the center of the hotel island.

After losing the protection of the silver-white barrier, there was no more light here, just like other places covered by the curse.
Fortunately, with the protection of the fairy magic, the shadow could not hurt the group.

"Something's wrong...why is there no body?"

At this time, Gail noticed something and said in confusion.

Logically, without the barrier's protection, the inn should be littered with corpses! But there wasn't even a dead person to be seen outside...

Seeing this, Ma Long frowned slightly and walked towards the hotel with big strides.

All the companions hurriedly followed.

However, when they walked inside, they still did not see a single person, let alone a corpse, and the place was in a mess as if it had been looted.

Seeing this, Harsin touched his chin and proposed a hypothesis:
"The Harper and the others may not be dead, they are just gone,"

"Perhaps, after we leave, another group of cultists will come to attack..."

But after hearing this, Gale shook his head and said:
"There's also a chance that he was 'resurrected' by the Shadow and ran off to another place. Sorry, Harsin, I hope you don't take it personally."

"I am just being realistic..."

She also didn't want the survivors to die, but you can't just look at one side of things, there are good and bad...

At this moment, Ma Long turned around and said to everyone:

"Search the entire hotel immediately. I think... Jaheira must have taken someone away, and she must have left something to inform us of the situation."

"So, everyone, split up and search, don't miss any corner."

After all, he was a hero in Baldur's Gate. Before seeing Jaheira's body,

We must not jump to conclusions and think that she is dead! After all, the difficulties she has faced are definitely worse than those faced by everyone else!

Being able to live for more than a hundred years, one must have good abilities, wisdom, and courage.

"Understand." x5
After receiving the request, everyone immediately split up and started a carpet search.

However, Astelon did not respond. He lowered his head and looked like he was worried...

Coincidentally, Marlon, who was about to look around, noticed her strangeness. It was not difficult to imagine that she was thinking about desecrating the ascension ceremony.
At this moment, the woman had lost her previous talkative and complaining nature and became unusually silent.

But this is understandable. Among the group, she has the worst fate.
After being enslaved and tortured by Cazador for two hundred years, she now learns that the other party wants to offer her soul to the devil in exchange for powerful strength!

Who can stand this? They are exploited to death! They eat everything up! Not a single bit is wasted.

"Hey, come and sit down."

Giving Astelon a meaningful look, Malone picked up a fallen bench on the ground, sat down, and patted the empty seat next to him.

His words immediately brought Astelon back to reality.

He nodded silently, walked to the stool and sat down obediently without saying a word.

"What do you think about what Raphael said?"

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this topic, Astelon narrowed his eyes and asked back with a puzzled look.

Ma Long took a deep breath and organized his words:

"When we face Kazador in the future, how will you avenge your former master, whom you hate so much?"

"...Kill him. It's that simple."

In response, Astelon hesitated for a moment, looked away, shrugged and replied:

"But then again, isn't it a little early for you to talk about this now?"

Currently, the group is still trapped in the cursed land. The cult of the Supreme God is like a huge mountain blocking the way to Baldur's Gate.
If you can't pass this level, nothing you say will be of any use.

"…That makes sense. I just don't want you to be consumed by the flames of hatred."

As he spoke, Ma Long held the fair and slender hand of the woman beside him and said earnestly:

"You and everyone deserve a better ending."

"Heh~ Why are you speaking in riddles? What do you want to say? Come on."

Looking at the big hand covering the back of her hand, Astelon chuckled.

She could tell that the other party had something else to say, but unfortunately she didn't know what it was.

At this point, Ma Long nodded helplessly and said:

"You want to hear the truth? Okay, the blasphemous Ascension Ceremony is not a good thing. Don't plan to replace it."

As soon as these words came out, Astelon's smile froze instantly and he abruptly retracted his hand and stood up.
He distanced himself from the two of them and said in horror:

"You...you read my mind!?"

"I don't know how to read people's minds. I'm just guessing. It's actually not difficult." (End of this chapter)
