An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 62 Persistence
"Sure enough!"

Hearing these words, Gale suddenly looked like he had expected it. As the smartest person in the team,

From the beginning, she suspected that the changes in attitude of bugs and goblins were inextricably linked!

It's just that everything must be based on evidence, and speculation is ultimately a judgment of one's own thoughts.

Then Gale asked curiously:
"What's going on with the Supreme God?"

"I don't know yet. It may be a new god. Shadow Heart has never heard of this name."

Ma Long shook his head and solemnly mentioned the recent experience:

"Just before entering the temple, this mysterious "god" used psychic oppression on us, wanting us to find something and then hand it over to his chosen people."

The chosen ones are mortals favored by the gods, and are also their agents in the mortal world.
As a powerful life form that far exceeds the imagination of mortals, the boss of all gods has set a rule that gods cannot end up personally.

Therefore, they need a mortal to do things for them or convey their will.

"Then what? What are you looking for?"

At this time, Astelon urged rather impatiently.

"I don't know. I didn't listen at the time. I used means to break the oppression of the opponent's mind. It felt really bad."

In response, Malone spread his hands and shrugged.

Even if he doesn't do this, the polyhedron in the heart of the shadow will still show its power and help them get rid of the suppression and connection of the Supreme God.

The end result is the same anyway.

Karak, who had been listening quietly to the story, suddenly shouted loudly with shock on his face:
"Wow! Then you are so powerful! You can actually compete with the power of God!"

"Ahem, first of all, it's not yet certain whether the other party is a god, and I can't really argue with him, so don't think too much."

Seeing this strong man's eyes shining brightly, Ma Long smiled modestly and said,
He knew that he was not as capable as the other party imagined, at least for now, and no one knew what would happen in the future.

What's more, the field of courage can only resist attacks from the spiritual level.

Not in other ways.

Gale touched his chin and continued to ask:

"Then what did you discover and learn in the Temple of Selûne?"

Regarding this question, Ma Long did not answer and raised his hand to invite Ying Xin to speak. He raised his head and drank water to moisten his throat.

Seeing this situation, Ying Xin had no choice but to take over as the captain and describe the scene he saw:
"We did not go deep inside the temple, but walked around the outdoor courtyard to find out information,"

"There are not only goblins there, but also various other races. Humans, drow, bugbears and even a few ogres. Almost all of them are fanatical believers who worship the Supreme God."

At that time, the scene of the Supreme True God cult members raising their glasses and shouting in unison was really impressive.

Upon hearing this, Gale frowned and asked again:

"how many?"

"I didn't count carefully, but it's probably more than one hundred and fifty? I don't know if there are more inside. Anyway, with the six of us, I'm afraid we can't handle it."

"But I heard that a bear broke into the temple and killed many people before. It might be the Archdruid,"

"She should be locked up in a dungeon for now, at least that's what the drunks I asked said."

Although Ying Xin said some words that didn't sound nice, it was the fact.

Just a few of them can't solve the plight of the refugees at all, and they might have to help themselves in, so there is a chance to find the archdruid.
Just do what you can, which is the safest. After all, it makes sense. Except for the Border Blade, who always lowered his head and was lost in thought, everyone else's eyes were focused on the paladin.
It is up to the captain to decide whether to give up helping the refugees or not.

And Ma Long is also in a dilemma. The actual situation is indeed much different than the impression, and regardless of whether he chooses to stick to it to the end, some people will be dissatisfied.

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, he faced his companions with firm eyes and said:
"...Go on, I know this is very difficult. Since you have promised others, it doesn't matter if you can't do it, but you must never give up without trying."

The next moment, the companions were divided into two groups.
Shadow Heart and Astelon are both more pragmatic, so they are not satisfied with this decision.

Gale and Karak, on the other hand, were very happy that Malone did not choose to give up halfway. Persistence is also a virtue, especially for people who do good things!

Doing good is not easy. Without unwavering faith, it will be difficult to continue on this path.

"You'd better come up with a good idea, otherwise everyone will suffer."

Asteron crossed her arms and said in a cold tone.

This point of course goes without saying. Ma Long must have had an idea before he dared to continue.
Two options were immediately proposed:

"The old method is to poison, or disperse the troops and defeat them one by one,"

"The former is faster, while the latter will be more difficult to implement. Personally, I prefer to do it without losing any blood, which saves effort and time."

Touching the back of his head, Karak felt quite regretful:

"...Although I would rather chop up the enemy, I still have to listen to you."

"I agree."

Gale smiled and nodded.

Shadow Heart responded silently, not expressing any opinion. Astelon nodded helplessly:

"I'll go out later to find more poisons and get back before dark."

"Okay, that's the end of this topic. Let's move on to the third thing, Weir."

Hearing the sound, the Border Blade suddenly came back to his senses and looked up at Ma Long, but found that everyone was looking at him...

"Sorry, I was thinking about something just now, what happened?"

"As for the Duke, I think it would be better for you to explain. After all, you are..."

Malone knew she was sad, but Duke Ravengard was the other person’s father after all, and it was better for them to reveal their relationship.
Unless he intentionally conceals something, he will speak for him.

"...Ah, I understand."

After reacting, Veil felt extremely heavy and introduced his life experience to his companions. He is the most influential nobleman in Baldur's Gate.

The only daughter of Duke Uldrevengard, Verrevengard.

At the same time, she also revealed the bad news that her father was unfortunately kidnapped by the Supreme True God cultists and sent to the Moonrise Tower.

Knowing this situation, except for Ma Long and Ying Xin, everyone else's reaction was not small.

Gale opened his eyes wide and raised his hand to cover his mouth that was open in surprise:
"Duke Gao?! Even though I knew you must have a distinguished family background when we first met, I really didn't expect you to be the heir of that Grand Duke."

Although both cities are located on the west coast of the mainland, and Baldur's Gate is actually not close to Waterdeep, she has heard of Weir's father.

The reason is that in terms of background, this Duke Gao used to be a poor man.
It was only through his own ability that he gained his current enviable and coveted prominent position, and he was able to raise a heroic daughter like Border Blade who was dedicated to punishing evil and promoting good. Naturally, his father could not be a bad person.

Astelon said doubtfully:
"As a blue-blood noble, why do you choose to run into the dangerous wilderness?"
