An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 29 The crime of theft
When Varro heard this, he was stunned at first, and then understood the meaning almost instantly.

"Are you... a mage?"

"Gale of Waterdeep, it's an honor."

Gale smiled slightly, leaned forward to salute, and reported his background and name.

"Oh! You are the gifted girl that the old guy always mentioned. As expected, it's better to see than to hear for a long time. It's a pleasure to meet you~"

"Me too, but if you call him this way, are you really not afraid that he will be unhappy?"

The two chatted with each other, looking like old friends they hadn't seen for a long time. They both showed great interest in each other.

Seeing this situation, Ma Long had to remind:
"Um...Gail, why don't you stay? You guys seem to have a lot to talk about."

Gale shook his head decisively after hearing this, and then apologized to Varro and said:

"I'm sorry, Varro, we have important things to do and we can't stay here."

"Ah, it's okay~ I'll come back after you finish your work. See you later."

Knowing this situation, Varro was very self-aware and stopped pestering everyone, and walked away to find "trouble" with other druids.

Generally speaking, some people like bards and some people hate them.
While he is very charming, his constant chatter is extremely annoying~
Looking at Varro's back not far away, Yingxin couldn't help but curiously asked:

"Are you familiar with him?"

"Contrary to you, I want to know what he wrote in the book~"

Similarly, Astelon was also interested and looked forward to the other party revealing something.

And Gale didn’t hide it, and explained with a smile:
"That's not true, I just have a mutual friend with him,"

"As for his works... Ha~ Varro once exposed many unspoken rules and dirty information among mages, thereby offending the entire mage community,"

"If someone hadn't settled the matter for him in the end, we wouldn't be able to see each other now."

Hearing this, Ma Long also smiled knowingly,
Some bards are great at adding more spice to their stories to make them more attractive and dramatic, making them unrealistic and easily annoying.

But this has little to do with them~
"Okay, we have to focus on business, there are people waiting for us."

After saying that, Ma Long led everyone to move forward.

When the druid guarding the gate let him go, he told him where to find the leader. Even if he didn't, he still knew the way to go.

Soon, the group of people came directly to a huge closed stone door.

The druid standing by the door saw "a distinguished guest coming" and immediately cast a spell to open the entrance.

A staircase leading to the underground appeared in the eyes of Ma Long and others. Following it, they finally came to a natural cave.
There was not enough light underground, so many candles were lit for lighting.
Here, Malone also met the current druid leader in charge of the woodland, Kaha.
The other party and a group of druids of different races but with the same belief waited here for a long time and welcomed the arrival of the paladin in a grand manner.

"You must be the paladin. Nice to meet you. I am the chief druid of the Green Woodland, Kaha."

A female elf with blond hair and a yellowish complexion stepped forward, touched her breasts, and introduced herself.

Seeing this, Ma Long put down his sword, followed the example of the gourd and painted the ladle, and copied the opponent's actions in return:
"Hello, Chief Druid."

When you meet for the first time, even if there may be disputes or unhappiness between the two parties later, you must be polite now instead of talking about business directly.

Hearing his words, Kaha felt very good, smiled gently, and opened his arms:

"Welcome, I heard that you have something important to discuss with me in detail?"

"Yes, but before we get down to business, I have another issue to deal with," "Not long before this meeting, I met a couple outside, and their child was captured by you. Is it true? "

As he spoke, Ma Long used the corner of his eye to quickly scan the environment in the cave.
Except for the druid, there was no trace of the child... If he guessed correctly, there was a high probability that he was being imprisoned.

Kahar admitted this openly and bluntly, with disgust on his face:
"That's true, but that's a little devil. My society provides refuge, shelter, water and food to tiefling refugees,"

"But she didn't know what was good and came here to try to steal the statue of Silvanus. This behavior must be severely punished!"

"I have imprisoned him and will hold a formal trial when the ceremony is completed."

Stealing is indeed a hateful behavior. Making money is a trivial matter, but if the thing you take is of great significance,
Then this problem is no small matter.

And as far as Malone knew, Silvanus was the god of nature in charge of the forest and the father of the oak tree that all druids believed in devoutly.
Stealing this is equivalent to riding on the druid's head!
"But she's just a child, Kaha."

At this time, a black male Druid interjected with compassion,
The next moment, he was scolded coldly by Kaha:
"Shut up! Lars."

It can be seen from this that the new leader is not a kind person. After being scolded, all the druids present did not dare to offend him and remained silent...

However, Ma Long was not afraid, with a calm expression:
"I want to see this child, please bring her."

Upon hearing this request, Kaha's expression was not very good, and his words were no longer enthusiastic:
"Why? That little devil needs to pay the due price for his bad behavior. He did something wrong. Shouldn't he be punished, paladin?"

Paladins are the embodiment of justice, and no one will be dissatisfied with their judgment. Ma Long wants to see the child, and it is obvious that he is not satisfied with the outcome of the matter.

As the new leader, how could Kaha allow an outsider to intervene?
Trying to use reason to counterpress him.

"Of course you will be punished if you make mistakes, but I don't think the intensity of your punishment is appropriate."

"Please bring her to me, immediately."

At this moment, Ma Long stopped talking nonsense to others, frowned with a straight face, and spoke in a stiff tone,

Show the majesty of the paladin.

After all, everything he said and did stood for justice. Although Kaha was dissatisfied, he did not dare to disobey the paladin, and that was to light a lamp in the toilet!
The other druids would even disown her as their leader.

"Lars, bring the men."

After a while, the black druid led a tiefling child over.

She was a girl with dark blue skin, long horns and a tail. Her little face was full of panic and despair, and her body was trembling involuntarily, looking extremely scared.
Those eyes that shine like a devil are constantly moving on the people present,

It seems that he wants to find his relatives.

Although they were of different races, when Ma Long and others saw this child becoming like this, they were afraid.

I feel very uncomfortable, except for Astaire, this woman doesn't care at all...

"Here she comes, paladin, please."

Kaha spread his hands and extended an invitation.

Hearing this, Ma Long glanced at the other party and dragged his sword straight to the child:

"Arabelle, right?"

"Yes...yes, sir..."

"The chief druid accused you of stealing the statue of Silvanus. What is your defense for this? Do you admit this fact?"
