An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 48 The One-Horned Demon

After receiving Ma Long's recognition, Astelon smiled brightly.
At the same time, all the friends also cast surprised looks. In fact, they guessed half of it right, but the vampire changed his mind midway.

Then everyone skewered all the caught fish on wooden sticks and put them in the fire to roast.
All the shrimps and crabs are thrown into the pot and cooked.

According to Gale's estimation, there will be a decent lunch in about half an hour, and there will be nothing to do during this period.

Malone, Shadow Heart and Weir laid out their sleeping bags and took a nap. As combatants,
They require more physical exertion, but Gale and Asteron are fine, so the former is in charge of the spoons, while the latter is dedicated to helping.
Like passing the condiments or doing something else.

After a while,
Looking boredly at the lush branches and leaves of the big tree above his head, Ma Long called out the system panel in his heart, intending to take a look at his situation.

This time when he called out the panel, there was an item that Ma Long had never seen before, and the system had not reminded him of it. He almost couldn't control himself and shouted in surprise,
He quickly asked what was going on.

[Because the host was facing a crisis at the time, no prompt was given to avoid interference. 】

This system gave such an explanation. If you think about it carefully,
Malone found that this seemed to be the case. After adding some points, he picked up Gale and ran away. He couldn't be distracted at that moment, and he would be finished if he hit a tree...

After thinking about it, he asked about the source of this extra new thing.

And what are the specific effects.

Then the system immediately solved his doubts.

[When the three attributes of strength, agility, and constitution reach 14, 16, 18, and 20 points, skills or characteristics and auras will be unlocked.]

[The three attributes of intelligence, perception, and charm are 12, 14, 16, and 18 points. 】

[—Note—Fighting enthusiasm: With his extraordinary physical fitness, the paladin will become more and more courageous in the fierce battle! 】

[—Effect—When activated, the strength and agility attributes will increase by up to 5 points over time. They will expire after winning or being defeated. They can only be used once a day. 】

[—Side effects—body weakness and extreme hunger for two hours. 】

After reading a long introduction, Ma Long couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this feature is simply incredible! Raising your force sensitivity by five points is no joke.

Just by adding two points, he could clearly feel the huge changes in his body.

Although it can only be used once a day, there are still side effects.
But relying on this main effect, Malone ignored trivial problems.

"Really..."

"dinner time!"

At this time, Gale suddenly shouted. After hearing this, Ma Long immediately ejected and stood up, while Ying Xin and Weier did not hesitate to give in.

Quickly getting up, the three of them hurriedly approached the cauldron. After all, they were not active in eating and had something wrong with their brains.

After careful cooking by the beautiful chef Gail,

The seemingly ordinary ingredients exude an attractive aroma. Grilled fish and shrimp and crab stew are two of the most common dishes for ordinary fishermen and ordinary people.
Reached unattainable heights.

After a brief taste, everyone gave a thumbs up to express the great taste and praised the superb craftsmanship.
After receiving such high praise from everyone, Gale even smiled and narrowed his eyes.

However, Astelon does not have such a blessing~

But she was not envious. After all, two centuries had passed and she had become indifferent and unconcerned about food and drink. But just as everyone was immersed in feasting,
Suddenly a tall figure walked by the stream! When they noticed, the other party was already about ten steps away...

"Hey! Hello there."

The person who came was a tiefling nearly eight feet tall, bare-chested and red-skinned. He had short black and red hair, a rough face and voice, and a single horn on his forehead.
The other one was broken for unknown reasons.

And there is a long tail behind the buttocks, constantly swinging from side to side...

He only had a pair of tattered leather pants and boots on his body, and he was carrying a huge and badly worn ax in his hand.
Under its strong pectoralis major muscle, there is an unknown object that continues to glow.

"The one-horned demon, Karak."

After seeing the person clearly, Weier gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice with hostility in his eyes.

Throwing down the unfinished grilled fish in his hand, he stood up suddenly and pulled out the stabbing sword from his waist. The jumping arc of electricity instantly attached to the sword body!
When this tiefling saw Weir standing up, his expression suddenly became tense.

He immediately held the ax in both hands and stood ready:
"Border Blade, I didn't expect to meet you again."

Through the dialogue between the two parties, other people present immediately realized that this uninvited visitor was the "demon" that Weier wanted to hunt!
Immediately, Shadow Heart stood up, picked up a short spear and prepared to help kill the enemy.
He has a good impression of Weir, at least he is more pleasing to the eye than a certain vampire spawn~
"Suffer death! Unicorn..."

"stop!"

Just when Weier was about to charge forward, Ma Long hurriedly shouted to stop him.

His voice was like thunder, causing Weier to put her foot down again. She looked at the captain with a puzzled face. She thought the paladin was planning to steal the "prey".
The two have the same ambition, and they both take killing monsters and saving people as their mission.

"He's my target."

"I know, but I have a problem. He... seems to be a tiefling."

Standing up slowly, Ma Long pointed at the red strong man:
"Although he is indeed a bit exaggeratedly strong, I really don't see anything about him that looks like a devil, and I don't feel any evil aura that makes me hate him."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Weier.

Because the paladin does have this ability, he can sense the deep evil emanating from demons and sinful people or monsters!
Since Malone said no, it is most likely true.

"...No! I...how is this possible!?"

At this moment, Weier was a little panicked. She didn't want to believe these words subjectively, but she believed it in her heart. There was no other reason.

The words came from the mouth of the paladin!

Looking at this scene, "One-Horned Demon" Karak also looked confused, and he was ready to fight...

"As much as I want to agree with you, the problem is...this guy doesn't really seem to be a demon,"

"Otherwise, how can I stop you from hunting?"

Seeing Weil's hesitation, Ma Long quickly stepped up and continued talking nonsense.

In fact, unlike other holy warriors, he does not have this unique ability for the time being. At this moment, he is just telling lies with his eyes open, and he cannot sense any evil spirits or evil thoughts.

"Wait a minute, what's going on?"

Asteron, who was watching, suddenly asked.

After glancing at the other party, Ma Long did not choose to pay attention, and said to Weier:
"Would you like to talk about it? Let's clear things up first. I am very much in favor of hunting evil spirits,"

"But if it's not, sorry, I don't condone this behavior."
