An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 51 Paladins of Tire
"Just let me carry it. I eat a lot, so I should bear the weight."

After packing his things, Karak rushed to lighten the burdens of several female companions in the team, actively asking to carry luggage that was heavier for them.

With his strong and muscular body, he can easily pick up two large bags with one hand and put them on his shoulders.

"That's right~ I'll leave it to you, big guy."

Seeing this, Asteron happily reached out and patted the opponent's thick arm.
呲!
"Ah! Damn it!"

At the moment of physical contact, her expression suddenly changed, she suddenly retracted her hand and shouted! Blow air into your hands quickly and fan them quickly to achieve cooling effect.
At the same time, he stared at the other party with fear and surprise in his eyes.

Karak scratched his head and explained awkwardly:
"Sorry, my temperature is very high. It's best not to have any physical contact with me."

"Why is this happening?"

Hearing this, Gale frowned slightly, curiously approached and observed carefully, and asked,

Then Ma Long, Ying Xin and Weier also looked over one after another.

I saw Karak solemnly clenching his fist and hitting the glowing spot in the center of his chest, and the sound of rotating and burning gears came from below!

"Look at this, the glowing place on my chest. It's the engine from hell. The great demon Zariel ripped out my heart,"

"Put this thing in to improve my combat capabilities."

"Back in Faerûn, it has been running at high speed, causing my body temperature to remain high, and my whole body to be on fire when I get excited."

When everyone heard that Karak had lost his heart, their hearts really tightened.
I couldn't help but feel pity in my heart. It was indeed the devil who took out people's hearts and then stuffed them back with an iron knot.

"...will it hurt?"

"Occasionally, I have long been accustomed to its existence. If it were the original heart, I might not be able to survive the bloody battle between demons."

In response to Gale's concerned inquiry, Karak shrugged very openly and said,
At least there was no hint of vulnerability on the surface.

Looking at this strong man who was pretending to be strong, Ma Long's eyes were full of complexity, but the other party had no intention! One of the most important organs in the body,

But Karak had no choice but to passively accept his rough fate.
There is no other way...

"I like his indomitable tenacity."

In response, Ying Xin raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with praise in his tone.

If ordinary people were to experience what Karak was going through, few would be able to persevere! And still have such a healthy mentality.

And Weier also admired him deeply and regretted his previous pursuit...

"Everyone, let's go."

Putting on his backpack and sword, Ma Long took a deep breath and led his companions on the journey.

Now that one more member has been added to the team, the overall combat effectiveness has increased significantly again, but along with it, there are also problems from other aspects.
First, eat. With Karak’s huge appetite, one person can hold up to three of them!

Furthermore, it is the Hell Engine. According to his impression, Ma Long remembers that this thing can only run stably in the place where it is made.
The longer you stay in Faerûn, the less safe you become.
The body temperature will continue to rise, and Karak will be burned alive sooner or later! Fortunately, there are ways to temporarily reduce the temperature.

"There are too many questions, let's take them one by one..."

As they marched, Ma Long sighed secretly.

Not long after walking, everyone passed by the dog scratching his head and his owner again. He was still waiting here, but this time besides them, another group of people arrived.
He happened to bump into Ma Long and others.

When he saw a stranger, he crouched down and let out an alert growl...

There are four members in this group, two men and two women, each holding a sword and a bow, and wearing fur light armor or iron armor.
They are a well-equipped team of adventurers. When the two parties met face to face, Ma Long originally planned to just pass each other by and go their separate ways.
But the other party didn't think so. Instead, he blocked the way and refused to let him go. One of the men carrying a giant sword stepped forward and raised his hand to stop him:
"Wait a minute, stranger."

"what's up?"

Although Ma Long was displeased at being stopped inexplicably, he didn't show it on the surface.

Instead, he asked in a friendly manner with a smile on his face.

Seeing that he was so easy to talk to, the man assumed a condescending attitude:

"I am a paladin who believes in Tyr, and I was ordered to hunt down a bloodthirsty demon who came to Faerûn from the Hell of Avernus."

"His disguise is that of a tall, one-horned tiefling, and your companion seems to fit the bill,"

"I need your cooperation in the investigation."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Ma Long and his friends changed at the same time! His face was extremely solemn,
The above description is basically clearly meant specifically for Karak! But after everyone had friendly communication and exchanges,
It has long been determined that he is not an evil spirit.

Especially Karak himself, when he heard that these people were targeting him, he subconsciously clenched the ax in his hand, ready to take action at any time.

"This paladin, Karak is not an evil spirit. This is a misunderstanding."

Gale took a step forward and explained sincerely:

"He just..."

"Is he Karak? Very good, please get out of the way immediately! I will fulfill my duties and Tyr's teachings and kill the evil demon!"

When the man heard this, he immediately took off the giant sword from his back and held it in his hand, with a righteous look on his face.
His companions were also preparing to fight.

According to normal logic, normal people would choose to cooperate after the name of the paladin was announced. However, at this time, everyone stood motionless beside Karak.

The reason is very simple, the captain is also a paladin! Why should you listen to the other party?
"Didn't you hear me? I told you to get out of the way!"

Seeing that his words sounded like farts, the man couldn't help but shouted in anger and embarrassment.

"Hmph! Why should I listen to you? We are protecting Karak now! Are you a great paladin? So is he!"

Astelon snorted coldly and expressed his attitude and position first.
Then he pointed to Ma Long, who was standing at the front.

Even if the two sides really want to fight, six against four, the advantage is mine! No need to be timid at all!
"Are you also a paladin? Brother, why do you associate with the devil? Could it be that...you have betrayed your oath and the god you believe in?"

When the man learned about this situation, he was slightly surprised and asked in a stiff tone.

At this moment, Ma Long's smile disappeared and his face was calm:
"Of course not. I always remember the oath I made and strictly abide by it,"

"I am very sure that Karak is not an evil demon, so I go with him, but you are not necessarily my brother, the paladin of Tyr."

He used the last few words in a very strong tone,
If the other party is really a paladin, Asteron doesn't need to specify it at all. He can know his identity through the appearance at a glance!

Paladins can sense the holy power of each other's oaths.

After saying this, Ma Long had a thought, and the giant sword on his shoulder was instantly attached with the dazzling power of the oath. This was a kind of self-certification.
At the same time, it is also an invitation letter.

If the other party cannot be like him, it means that his identity is fraudulent.
From this, there is bound to be an unavoidable head-on battle between the two sides!

　Thank you brothers for the rewards and votes. Something happened today and I can only update one chapter. I'm very sorry.
