An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

After knocking Balthazar away with a shield strike and making him come into close contact with the wall, Yingxin did not make any additional attacks. He just silently glanced at the man's fallen figure.

This guy is not the target of this mission.
It is really not worth spending energy and time to get rid of the opponent, not to mention that it is still unknown whether it can be killed.

After all, Balthazar's horrible image, neither human nor ghost,
It looks a bit like an undead lich.

Suddenly, a series of rapid and numerous footsteps came from the direction of the stairs! Hearing the noise, Yingxin knew that trouble was coming.
He immediately solemnly instructed:
"Be careful, Gail."

"Well, I'll catch up with you guys as soon as possible. Let's go and put the mission first."

The enemy reinforcements are arriving soon, and someone must stay behind to intercept them. The most suitable person is undoubtedly Gale, the mage.

Everyone knows this.

"Don't die."

After Asdelon gave a faint instruction, he immediately took action, quickly walked to the door where the necromancer appeared, kicked it open, and entered.
Now that it's been exposed, there's no need to be quiet, just do it as fast as you can!
Seeing this, Yingxin hurriedly followed without saying a word, leaving Gail alone to observe the tower structure and think about countermeasures.

In less than a second, several solutions flashed through the wizard's clever brain.
Blocking roads, blowing up buildings, sabotaging, or killing people...

All of the above options are not difficult for Gail to achieve, but from a long-term perspective, the first option is obviously better!
No one knows the final outcome of this war, so saving mana is indeed necessary.

Then Gale commanded the water element to spray a large amount of water onto the ceiling, creating a small waterfall, and then used ice magic to freeze it.

Completely seal the passage to the upper floors of the tower!

Although the ice will eventually break, as long as we can delay time temporarily,

Even if it's only half a minute, that's enough!
After doing all this, Gale turned his head and saw Balthazar standing up, chanting a spell, and a dark energy ball appeared between his gathered hands.

There is no doubt that he is brewing some terrifying magic that is extremely threatening to all living beings!
At the same time, the undead creature made up of stitched corpses,
Also rushed towards here aggressively.

Facing the coordinated attack from the two, Gale raised his slender fingers, pointed them at Balthazar who was accumulating strength, and quickly recited the spell in a sharp voice!
The next second, the necromancer's slightly bloated figure was wrapped and pulled by the power of the magic net.
In the blink of an eye, he was expelled from the main material plane! He disappeared without a trace!

Unfortunately, this is only temporary. This spell cannot injure or kill the target, but only imprison it in a sub-dimensional space.

Soon, when the time limit expires, it will return...

But for Gail, that was enough!

Then the water element broke into pieces, dispersing into puddles of different sizes. When the undead creatures approached and stepped on them,
All the water quickly regrouped and formed a special cage.

Moreover, a vortex is formed in it, which produces a huge suction force, making it impossible for the trapped person to escape! Even if they are huge, it is difficult to get out of it.

clang~
The end of the ice crystal staff touched the ground lightly, making a crisp sound.
The vortex freezes instantly! The water freezes into ice!
Looking at the huge monster trapped in the ice, Gale thought for a moment and decisively gave up the idea of ​​killing it.

She is not a paladin or a priest, and has absolute restraint against undead creatures.
There's no need to waste time on something that won't benefit you.

"Break the ice for me!"

At this time, an anxious command came from the other side of the ice wall, followed by a series of clanging and banging noises.

Hearing the voice, Gail glanced back, she remembered who the voice belonged to!

She didn't stop and hurried to catch up with the two companions who had gone ahead. However, as soon as she entered the door, she collided head-on with a figure!
"what!"

Just when she was about to fall, a hand caught her in time.

"Are you okay?"

After standing firm on his feet, Gail looked carefully and found that it was Ying Xin who had returned.

She was very surprised and asked, "Have you finished the search? So quickly?"

"Well, I checked every room, and no one was there, but..."

Ying Xin nodded in response, and suddenly his cold and handsome face was filled with seriousness:
"I wasn't paying attention for a moment, and that troublemaker... disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"……What?!"

This news was too shocking. When Gale heard it, his head suddenly buzzed. He quickly looked behind his companions and saw someone...

Well! Not only did we fail to find the target, but we also lost one of our own.

"Is she invisible? Did she encounter an enemy?"

"I'm sure there isn't. Her magic item can't completely hide her figure. It still shows a vague outline. I can't see it anywhere."

"What's more, there is no one else on the entire second floor except you."

Apart from Balthazar and the later cult reinforcements, there were no other cult members on the second floor, which basically ruled out the possibility of being caught.
Where did Keren go?

Although Asdelun was unreliable at ordinary times, at this critical moment, neither of them thought that she was hiding on purpose.

After all, they have come so far together, so they still have trust.

After all, we all have a common goal, to live and do things regardless of the occasion.
Aren't you tired of living?
"…Damn it, look around for it quickly."

Gale couldn't help but complain. He was very tired, but he didn't plan to give up on finding his companion, no matter how important the mission was.

Time is so urgent, we must find the person!
Because she knew that if the captain faced this situation, he would definitely do the same. Unity is one of the key factors that have brought everyone to where they are today.

No one is allowed to fall behind!

"Well, come with me."

Ying Xin nodded and agreed. If it were in the past, he would definitely suggest throwing away the burden.

Now, he is different.

Perhaps Astelon did not leave a good impression on him. He was either arguing or preparing to argue with her. He almost never liked her.

But this is exactly one of the most unforgettable passages in Yingxin’s limited memory…

After that, the two of them searched for any clues that might have been left behind as quickly as possible, but it was not an easy task.

Wanderers who specialize in walking in the shadows usually leave no obvious traces and are easy to track.

Unless it's intentional.

Even at the critical moment of life and death, Asdelun still maintained this "good habit". Gale and Yingxin looked at every corner.
Didn't find many clues.

Bang~

"Damn it! Where on earth did that guy go?"

Arriving at the last room, Yingxin looked around but still couldn't see the figure. She quickly descended patiently and angrily kicked over a tall candlestick beside her.

Gale, who was standing beside him, suppressed his discomfort and said comfortingly:
"...Don't worry. We just passed by a room full of blood and corpses. Didn't we see shoe prints? She's been there."
