An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 28 Bard
Seeing such a huge change in Ma Long, Asteron was aroused with strong curiosity.
He quickly came over and tapped his armor with his hands.

At the same time, Gale and Ying Xin also stepped forward one after another, staring at the captain's luxurious equipment with eyes full of surprise. They got closer and took a closer look.

Seeing his companions approaching, Weier had no choice but to step back and give up his position.

"Is this a blessing from the god you believe in?"

As a priest, Shadow Heart asked with envy and enthusiasm in his tone.

Some paladins are not only loyal to their oaths, but also believe in one of the gods in the sky. The beam of light falling from the sky is very consistent with people's impression of miracles.

Although Malone does not believe in any gods, this is undoubtedly a good excuse...

"Yes, it is a gift from my "god"."

After hearing this, Gale praised with a smile on his face:

"To be honest, you are much more handsome now than before, and you can better reflect the charm of a paladin."

Not to mention anything else, just by wearing this suit of armor, walking on the city streets will definitely turn heads. It is not an exaggeration to call it the center of attention!

Those who know how to do it will be even more amazed by it, because it is not an ordinary thing at all.

Just when Ma Long was about to respond, the system popped up a panel introducing the armor's functions in detail.

[—Note—Armor of the Oath: One of the manifestations of the power of the paladin’s noble oath, the level of tenacity is determined by willpower. 】

[—Characteristic 1—Solid as a Rock: The power of physical and magical attacks endured is halved. 】

[—Characteristic 2—Immune to Curse: Prevents the effects of any type of curse. 】

Seeing this, Ma Long couldn't help but feel shocked! This armor is incredible. Just halving the amount of attacks you can endure is already outrageous.
He is actually immune to the effects of the curse on himself! This enhances the adventure journey,

Not even a star.

Just as he was immersed in fantasies about the future, two tiefling refugees slowly approached side by side with slightly hesitant expressions.

"...Well, Lord Paladin, can you please help us?"

When these words hit his ears, Ma Long was immediately brought back to reality.
Turning to look at the speaker, they saw a couple of tieflings dressed simply. The men and women had different skin colors, but their facial expressions were the same.

Full of worry and anxiety...

Seeing this, Ma Long nodded in agreement without hesitation:

"Please say."

"Our child, Arabelle, was captured by those druids! Please! Lord Paladin, please rescue her intact!"

The female tiefling stepped forward emotionally and complained about the druid's atrocities.

And she was the one who just tried to break in.

But this kind of behavior is understandable. Can parents not be anxious when their children are gone?
"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Gale was surprised. He glanced at the gatekeeper druid first, and then asked the tiefling couple in a low voice:
"Did your children do something to displease the druid?"

After all, if you don’t know the whole story, you can’t just rely on the other person’s words and think it’s Druid’s fault. Why would someone arrest a child for no reason?
There must be another reason.

However, the tieflings kept silent about this...it was obvious that this matter was full of doubts.

Facing the help of the weak, Ma Long could not refuse.
However, he already knew that the two children were caught for stealing.

The reason for not telling the truth is probably because he felt that the paladin could not tolerate sand in his eyes, so he refused to help or resolutely punished those who had unclean hands.

After all, in the big family of paladin, there will always be some extreme examples.
There is a clear distinction between right and wrong, and if you are wrong, you must be punished...even if it is just a petty theft.

"I will mention this to the leader when I see him." After receiving this reply, the male tiefling felt relieved and quickly expressed his gratitude:

"Thank you so much!"

After the words fell, the druid who went to report happened to return and brought good news. Kaha, the leader of the Emerald Woodland, agreed to meet with him.
However, except for Malone and his companions, no one else is allowed to step into the altar.

In other words, Border Blade cannot enter...

"She and I are together."

After saying something to the gatekeeper Druid, Malone waved to Weir who was standing next to him, then put the giant sword on his shoulder and stepped into the altar area.

Upon seeing this, the Border Blade immediately followed the team,
She promised Sefolo to help, and it would be a shame if she couldn't even get through the door.

"...Thank you, Malone."

"You're welcome. Sefolo told me. I also want to help those refugees."

Shrugging, Ma Long waved his hands and smiled.

When Asteron heard this, she crossed her arms and sneered:
"Haha~ This is really not certain."

"Is it over yet? If you do this again, be careful I will make it very difficult for you."

Due to the vampire's continuous attempts to mess with people's mentality, Ma Long endured it again and again, but now he finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He was not without a temper.
There are limits to anyone's patience.

Seemingly looking like he was really going to get angry, Astelon knew herself well and couldn't afford to offend him, so she decisively kept her mouth shut.

"Hey! Friends, please stay."

At this time, a man with rich clothes, a velvet beret on his head and a full beard, holding a quill and a notebook in his hand,
He jogged up to the crowd with a cheerful expression and blocked their way.

This person suddenly came to stop them. Ying Xin felt that something bad might happen.
I don't even think that good things can happen to everyone... After all, everyone in this team is unlucky. How can they be kidnapped by the Mind Flayer if they are lucky?
"Step aside."

Although Ying Xin had a cold face and looked very difficult to get along with,

The other party did not leave, but leaned forward and saluted:

"Everyone, let me introduce myself. I am a bard, Varro."

"I heard that you killed a whole group of goblins outside the gate before, right? Can you describe the battle process for me in detail?"

“I would be extremely grateful if you could answer a few more questions!”

Bards, this type of group is very special but not uncommon in Faerûn.

Not only are they proficient in various arts such as musical instruments and writing, but they also have a little bit of magic. Those who are brave and capable will embark on an adventurous journey.
and record the entire process,

Finally, it is artistically processed, written into a story, and then boasted everywhere.

These people are typically more talkative than weapons, with bohemian personalities. They often hang out in taverns, brothels, or the beds of certain aristocratic ladies and ladies~

Varro, on the other hand, is obviously one of the capable ones, otherwise he would not be able to appear in the green forest.

After listening to the other party's self-introduction, Gale also became interested, and his words were full of joking:

"Varo? This name is quite famous~ I once had the pleasure of reading one of your guidebooks. There are some things you really shouldn't write in the book,"

"I even published it so that the public can see it at a glance. I hope you have taken a warning."

The Archmage of Waterdeep, who has read many books, happened to have read one of the books written by the bard, and it is not difficult to hear from these words,

Varro's work appears to have been unpopular, at least among certain groups.
