An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

After a while, Karak came out of the tent with his trousers held up, carrying a big axe on his shoulder, and hurried towards his companions gathered around the campfire.

"Ahem~ Sorry, I'm a step late."

"Don't forget to put on your pants next time~ Tough guy, after all, our team is mostly ladies, it's very rude."

Astelon turned his head to look at the other person, with a playful look on his face, and laughed and teased.

Karak could only laugh awkwardly and scratch his head, but Yingxin said coldly:

"At least he reacts quickly and can engage the enemy immediately, unlike you, who has no sense of urgency at all. If those ugly things have already arrived,

"With your careless energy just now, the moment you step out, your chest will be pierced through by a sharp sword!"

Although this may sound a bit...alarmist, it is not impossible!
However, Astelon shrugged nonchalantly:

"Aren't you guys here~"

Although she is weak, she has someone to back her up, or a target to attract fire.
The Githyanki came to cause trouble, and the probability of them attacking her first was very small! Instead, the big guy Karak,
And the mage Gale, we need to worry, after all, there is a precedent...

At this moment, Ma Long, who was standing at the front, gave a solemn reminder:
"Get ready, they're coming."

Suddenly, several portals appeared in front of everyone! Many Githyanki people wearing silver armor and holding swords quickly ran out of them!
In terms of quantity alone, it is several times more than last time!
After arriving, they lined up in a well-trained manner to form an offensive formation and were ready to take action.

Seeing this, Ma Long's group was naturally not afraid and got ready.

Karak pounded his huge chest muscles and shouted angrily with great momentum:

"Come on! You ugly guys!"

The battle cry before the fight does have a certain chance of affecting the enemy's psychology, but for the warlike star bandits, it has little effect...

Suddenly, two unique and extraordinary sword-wielding figures walked out from behind the crowd.

He walked slowly to the front and stood there, his armor even more luxurious and exquisite.

Malone couldn't help but look at one of them, Centurion Voss, the guy who gave him the pendant. He never thought that he would meet him again at this moment.

At the same time, Voss also noticed that the paladin's eyes were focused on him.

Staring at him expressionlessly...

Next, the Githyanki next to Voss raised his sword proudly, pointed it at Malone, raised his chin slightly and spoke:

"You despicable little thief, your dirty and lowly life is about to end!"

Puff! Snap~
As soon as the voice fell, a round head fell off.
Then Voss shouted while holding the blood-stained sword:

"Get started! (Gis)"

In an instant, the "united" Githyanki people started fighting among themselves! Some of them swung their weapons and fiercely slashed at their unsuspecting fellows!
Because the incident happened too suddenly, this bloody, fratricidal drama ended relatively quickly.

In the blink of an eye, several corpses fell to the ground one after another with their eyes open.

On the other hand, most people on Ma Long's side were confused and had questions. What was going on? How could he kill half of his own people before the fight even started?
After the dust settled, Voss calmly wiped the blood off the sword.
Walk straight towards the crowd.

"Stand still! If you dare to take another step forward, I will kill you."

Seeing this, Ying Xin, who was standing in the front, stepped forward and raised his weapon to intimidate.
This centurion was very powerful. Many people present could not see clearly the sword that cut off his head! The speed was very fast! Most people could not defend against it at all.
Despite this, he still dared to fight him, even though he had lost his strength.

"Yingxin, put away your weapon. He is not an enemy, at least not now."

Ma Long let out a long sigh and quickly called his companions.

He had reached a cooperation agreement with others before. As long as they did not violate the agreement first, Voss would not have any killing intention or hostility towards them. After hearing the captain's words, Yingxin had no choice but to return to his companions.

He stared at the person who came, full of vigilance.

Then Ma Long's mouth curved into an arc, and he greeted in a friendly manner:
"Voss, I didn't expect you to be involved in this attack."

The centurion calmly put away his sword and spoke coldly:
"I didn't want to come, but Vlaakis has become suspicious of me,"

"You'd better lead your team away from this frightening place and head to Baldur's Gate as soon as possible. I will wait for you at the 'Care of Sharris' tavern."

"Also, my 'defection' cannot be delayed for too long. You will have to deal with the next batch on your own."

After saying this, Voss turned around and left.

He waved his hand to signal his subordinates to open another portal, and left the cursed land very cleanly.

After a while, only Malone and his group were left in the camp, as well as the bodies of Githyanki lying on the ground in a mess, looking miserable...

"Phew~ It was really a false alarm."

Astelon pretended to wipe off the non-existent sweat and expressed his feelings.
There are quite a few enemies coming this time, and it will certainly not be easy to fight against them. Fortunately, they are in internal strife, so I don't have to do it myself.

The alert was lifted. Gale couldn't help but ask the captain curiously:

"That guy is Voss? He "defected", what's the matter with that?"

"Are they at odds among themselves?"

Except for Malone, most people present had only seen Voss once, and a few had never met him at all. The mage happened to be one of the latter.

Ma Long did not directly respond to this question, but spoke in a very deep tone:
"Once we get through this difficult time and reach Baldur's Gate, we will get the answer. Now is not the right time to discuss this."

"Karak, Yingxin, please deal with the body and blood to avoid attracting evil spirits."

"Weir, prepare breakfast with Gail. Harsin, go and bring Altkula out. As for Asdelon...you can move freely. If you see anyone who needs help, go and lend a hand."

Assign your respective tasks and start executing them immediately. The cause of the Githyanki infighting is not something you should be concerned about at the moment.
Curses and cults are ten thousand times more important than this!
……

A few minutes later, everyone gathered around the campfire, eating their last meal of dry food and looking at Altkula who was still unconscious.
This person holds the "key" to lift the curse.

"Ma Long, here, didn't you learn to play a musical instrument?"

At this time, Harsin handed over the lute with the symbols A and C engraved on it. If a musical instrument is used by someone who has never learned it,
That just makes pure noise.

Seeing this, Astelon also started to make a noise:

"Play a nice song. If you play badly, I will embarrass you~"

"……Let me try."

Hearing this, Ma Long glanced at the other person helplessly and reached out to take the lute.

There are still some differences between the guitar and lute he learned. Even though the difference is not big in general, actually getting started is another matter.

The next moment, he gently plucked the strings to test the sound, trying to recall what he had learned.

Find the pitch and a song will begin to play.
