An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 69 Destruction of the Orb
Mystra, the mother of all magic, the incarnation of the magic net, the top three most powerful among the gods in the sky, almost all the magic nets in the world,

They are all controlled by him. Therefore, he is also the object of worship and belief by most mages in the world.

It is not easy to attract the attention of this god;

If you don't have the magical talent of being one in a million, you won't even take a look. After all, there are tens of thousands of mortals in the world.
How can I have time to do such trivial things?

But now, the paladin, who cannot even sense the magic network and get a response,
But it attracted the attention of this god... Gale really couldn't figure out why.

Putting down the curtain, Ma Long turned around and raised his eyebrows:

"Is there a possibility that it's you? After all, you are also a famous mage in Waterdeep City, and I am just an unknown person."

However, Gale lowered his head and explained with a difficult expression:
"I...I once did something that made Mystra very unhappy,"

"She claimed that she would never answer my prayers again."

At the same time, Ma Long actually felt and knew what the other party was thinking. It was amazing. This was not the mind flayer bug at work.
It is the magic network that allows the two minds to build a connection.

But Gale didn't seem to notice this yet. She was immersed in the stupid things she had committed in the past, and he could see all the scenes clearly.

This archmage from Waterdeep City, because of his extraordinary magical aptitude,

Fortunately, I was favored by the goddess of magic Mystra and became a chosen one. I loved her so much that I even became my bed partner...

Although Malone didn't want to see that kind of private scene, he couldn't control Gail's mind.
Exciting pictures come as soon as they come...

But later, Gale made a mistake, at least for Mystra, it was very stupid. She found some unknown magic network fragment,
I hope to dedicate what I am looking for to the other person, and I want to take this opportunity to ask my divine lover to give me and teach me more powerful power that is visible but unreachable.

So as to prove to the world that Gale of Waterdeep City can be worthy of each other.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. The magic net fragment she found was not created by Mystra, and was even full of danger!

Moreover, it is parasitic in her chest!

To this day, it is constantly devouring Gale’s own power.
And this is the fundamental reason why she needs to absorb various magic items.

If it is not satisfied, the thing will detonate and explode completely! With an area as big as a city, not only Gale will die by then,
And a lot of innocent people have to be implicated...

In order to punish her for her excessive pursuit of power, the goddess of magic did not help. Instead, she drove her away and kicked her out! It was also stated that prayers from Gale would no longer be answered.

After "reading" the story, Ma Long was also deeply moved.

After all, the pursuit of power is a common problem among mages, and basically everyone has this desire.

"There seems to be something wrong with you, what's wrong?"

At this time, Gale came back to his senses and found that the paladin's expression was a little strange, so he asked.

Ma Long scratched his cheek and calmed down his mood:
"There is something, I don't know if you have discovered it. The magic network connects our hearts."

As soon as these words came out, the mage showed a look of disbelief and horror. After all, what she was thinking just now were all privacy and secrets hidden deep in her heart!
Now, it was seen thoroughly without any obstruction.

"What!? Did you see everything?"

Gale, who was completely panicked, forced himself to calm down and took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions.

Then he frowned and asked:

"...Wait a minute, tell me what I'm thinking about right now."

"Um... a cat? But it has a pair of wings."

After all, the minds are connected together, and what the other person thinks cannot be hidden from Ma Long. He easily knows and tells what he thinks. It is a strange cat with brown and white fur and a pair of wings on its waist.

At this moment, Gale couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his mouth that was open in surprise.
I took a deep breath immediately, it was true.

At this point, she had to accept the reality that all her secrets and privacy had been exposed, because there was nothing she could do about it.

"It seems... you know everything."

"Yes, Miss Galdecarios, the chosen one and lover favored by the goddess of magic Mystra, an ambitious mage."

"Of course, I have to defend myself. This was not my intention."

Malone sighed and nodded in acknowledgement.

No matter what the other party’s reasons are, whether it’s because they want to stand by Mystra’s side better, or because of other factors,

Her desire for new power could not be hidden from Ma Long after all.

The magic network soul link can intuitively feel the most real side of the heart.

At this point, Gale seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and he took a step back absentmindedly, accidentally falling and sitting on the ground.
Putting his right hand on his heart, a wry smile appeared on his face, but his tone was full of resentment:

"Tell me...do you think I did something wrong? And why does Mystra want to connect our hearts together?"

"It's not enough to drive me away, do you have to make everyone despise and hate me!?"

With the unstable factor in her body, almost no one would want to go with her.

No one knows whether she will suddenly turn into a "gorgeous" firework and explode with such power that it will not only kill herself, but also
Also bring a lot of nearby unlucky people with you.

Looking at the lost Gale, Ma Long silently walked up to him and squatted down.

Clear your thoughts as quickly as possible and think of words and phrases to use to comfort you.

"That's right, I don't know. The thoughts of the gods are not something that a mortal like me can know,"

"But I personally think that the reason why Mystra did this may be because she wanted me to help you. Think about it, as a person parasitized by the mind flayer bug,"

"My life is already in danger, I'm sure I'm not afraid of this big bomb walking around like you~"

Although there is a hint of ridicule in the words, it is undeniable that this is indeed the right description.

Not a walking bomb.

"Are you... not kidding? There is a ball of destruction in my body, and it will really explode!"

"Its destructive power is enough to wipe out a city as big as Waterdeep! Unlike the mind flayer parasite, it at least has a chance to be taken out."

In Gale's opinion, once the bug is taken out, there is no reason for the team to exist.

When the time comes, we will part ways, each taking his own Yangguan Road and single-plank bridge. No matter the ending is good or bad, no matter what difficulties and obstacles we encounter on the way,
All are borne and faced independently by oneself.

Ma Long, who heard the hidden meaning of these words, solemnly shook his head:
"You are not the only one in trouble in the team. Besides, how do you know that the bug can get it out easily?"

"Even if this is the case, we may not separate immediately, and we will still help each other."

"As I said before, I will take good care of everyone in the team. No matter what difficult difficulties the other party faces, I will help you."

After saying that, he gave a gentle smile and stretched out his hand to Gale.
