An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 44 An honor
"My personal suggestion is that you'd better return to the forest. The road to Baldur's Gate is not safe, not just for the goblins."

Ma Long, who was silent the whole time, stepped forward, grabbed the other person's shoulders and shook his head to persuade.

"Thank you for your concern. I won't take the normal path. Please put your hands away."

"Karl, Leah, let's go."

Facing the benefactor who came to help, Roland tried his best to suppress his discomfort and maintain a calm attitude. If this encounter had not happened,

If Ma Long opened his mouth, I'm afraid...

The heart of every person who becomes a mage is full of yearning for the unknown and the truth, as well as the ambition to obtain and master new powers!

It is these that give the mage the motivation and direction to keep moving forward.

"And one more thing."

"what?"

Hearing this, Roland turned back to look at Ma Long and patiently agreed.

"Say hello to Master Lorokan for me. In the future, I will go to Baldur's Gate to visit personally and get to know a "great" mage."

"But it's a very 'honour'."

Ma Long smiled meaningfully at this, expressing his respect for the Master between the lines.

But actually...

"Really? In fact, all you need to do is get acquainted with me. From now on, the name of Archmage Roland will spread throughout Baldur's Gate and even the Sword Coast!"

"Looking forward to seeing you next time, respected paladin."

After hearing these words, Roland smiled confidently, and embarked on a long journey again with his unwilling brothers and sisters.
Gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Watching the tiefling trio leave, Ma Long's smile disappeared.
He failed to persuade the three brothers and sisters to stay.

To be honest, those refugees in the forest are not very effective in combat. Even after dealing with the goblin problem, they will still face a greater crisis...

At this time, Gale walked up to him, staring at him with a different look and strange expression, without saying a word.
Seeing her reaction, Ma Long seemed to understand something and quickly smiled and said:

"The Archmage of Waterdeep City, Gale, it's such an honor to be able to travel with you~"

"I'm glad you said that, but I can hear you chewing on words. Why? Is it possible that Luo Rokan has a problem with you?"

Gale smiled slightly at first, and then asked the question in his heart,
With her extraordinary intelligence, she realized that Ma Long's words had another meaning, and perhaps Roland had the same meaning, but the other party did not point it out directly.

Faced with this problem, he couldn't speak directly, so he could only reveal a little bit in a roundabout way:

"As for this, I can only say that most of the rumors have a certain degree of truth."

Since there are rumors, it proves to be the actual situation experienced by the spreader. Of course, there are also people with sinister intentions who make up random rumors and spread rumors everywhere.

But in short, the probability of the former is greater than the latter.

Seeing his perfunctory reply, Gale did not dig deeper. The five people in the team had secrets in their hearts. She did not even tell her companions the truth about her intention to absorb magic items.

How can you ask others to reveal your virtue?
The main reason is that our relationship hasn't reached that point yet, and we need to become completely familiar with each other before we can open up.

"Which way to go next?"

Glancing at the goblin corpse and then looking around, Shadow Heart couldn't help but ask.

Entering the forest again, there are trees in all directions and no path at all.
There are lush branches and leaves above the head, and although there is occasionally a little sunshine, the specific position of the sun cannot be seen.

There was no other way, everyone focused their attention on Asteron, and they could only use the vampire's sharp nose to get out of the area.

As a vampire spawn with low combat power,
Astelon's contribution and value to the team are not high, but because of her unique strengths, it would be impossible to do without her ~

"It's my turn again, okay~ wait a moment." Seeing everyone like this, Asteron closed her eyes with pride and took a deep breath.

With her excellent senses, she learned a lot of new information in a short time.

"...The human blood has been cold for a while, and there is still a... putrid smell. It's a jackal!"

Smelling the familiar scent again, Asteron's expression was very ugly and solemn. She really hated those bloodthirsty monsters with bodies and heads and heads.

Not long ago, I was forced to jump off a cliff after all.

"Any more?"

After hearing this, Malone continued to ask without any hurry, and the vampire sniffed carefully again.

Then the tone was less certain:

"There is also a less obvious smell, like dog or something..."

"lead the way."

Hearing this, Ma Long immediately waved his hand, and the group of people moved forward quickly following the smell.
I walked carefully in the forest for a long time,
When they arrived at their destination, they found a man's body lying in a pool of blood, and a white-haired dog of unknown breed next to him.

Always stay by this person's side, even if he dies, he will never leave him.

When it comes to loyalty, there are few creatures in the world that are more loyal than dogs. Once they recognize someone, they dare to follow them even if they are wandering between life and death!
"What do you mean, take it for lunch?"

Immediately, Astelon nocked an arrow and drew the string, preparing to hunt this creature for food.
It's almost noon now.

"No, I will never eat a bite of dog meat in this life, I once swore."

Ma Long quickly shook his head and waved his hands to stop these harsh words. Even if he would kill the enemy, he would never serve it to the dinner table.
A dog's position follows its master's. It does not distinguish between good and evil. It relies on its loyalty.
No dog's flesh will enter his belly.

After finishing his words, Ma Long walked out from behind the hidden tree and walked straight towards the body.

Woof! Woof woof!

When seeing a stranger appear, the dog immediately goes on alert, bends down and barks, his eyes full of ferocity. Once he gets too close, he will
It will definitely rush up and take a bite! Even if my teeth can't bite.

Fortunately, Ma Long knew what was right. He stopped three meters away and squatted down, put down his sword, smiled, stretched out his hand and pouted:
"Uh-huh~"

No dog in the world can resist this sound. When this white dog heard it,

He stopped barking on the spot, straightened up and tilted his head, his erect tail began to shake slightly, and the collar around his neck was displayed in Ma Long's eyes.

There's this dog's name on it, Scratch.

Some of the names people give their dogs are really weird and even convoluted...

"Tickling, come here, suck, suck, suck~"

When the name blurted out from Ma Long's mouth, the dog's fluffy tail shook faster, and the hostility disappeared, but it still did not move away.
Always stay by the side of the long dead.

It can be seen that the relationship between the two is deep and they are good to the dog. It can really remember it for a lifetime.

Although the longest is only twenty years.

"Malon, do you recognize it?"

At this time, Ying Xin and the rest of his companions came closer. Looking at this scene, they all felt something.
Especially Gale, with a smile on his face:

"It seems like you like dogs very much, Malone. But do you like cats?"

Astelon and Weir even squatted down together, imitating the gourd's example, and learned to play with the dog together. So many people came at once,
The dog was really a little panicked and his tail wagged again, but he didn't bark anymore.

"Chuhua, come with me."
