Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 435 Who Kidnapped Who
Delicacies from various planes, exquisite massage services, plus those exciting entertainment activities... It is true that the extravagant and decadent Hell Paradise City makes people linger, but Leon did not stay in Avernus for too long. He quickly activated the plane amulet and left.

"Wait, wait a little longer, he will be back soon."

Back to Baldur's Gate, back to the caress of Shareth, Leon saw Voss standing in the corridor with his arms outstretched to stop the protagonists, hoping that they could wait for Raphael, because Raphael had the Hammer of Orpheus in his hand, which was the key to saving the Comet Prince.

Could it be that when he was looting the House of Hope, Raphael happened to be negotiating with the protagonists about Sharis's caress?

Thinking of this, Leon couldn't help laughing, jumped out, and said, "Nice to meet you."

"Who are you?" Xie Nian held the staff behind his back and looked at Leon vigilantly.

"My name is Leon." Leon bowed slightly and introduced himself.

Will, who had curved horns on his head, frowned and said to himself, "Leon... I seem to have heard of this name somewhere... Impossible, you can't be him, you just have the same name."

Yes, that powerful red dragon does not live in Toril. How could such a big figure comparable to a god appear in front of everyone so easily?

"Who?" Leon asked with interest, "Who can I be?"

“Enough!” Voss interrupted impatiently, his Githyanki-style armor making crisp clanging sounds as he moved. “Human, can’t you see we are talking about business? You’d better keep your words short and don’t delay our business.”

Leon cleared his throat slowly and said, “Raphael can’t come for the time being.”

"What did you say?" Voss's face changed and his voice suddenly became louder, attracting the attention of passers-by.

"But I can trade with you on his behalf." Leon crossed his arms, "Don't you just want the Hammer of Orpheus? That hammer is in my hand now."

"From your tone, you don't seem to be Raphael's lackey or servant." Will stroked the hilt of the sword and looked Leon up and down, trying to find clues from Leon. "If you are not his servant, who are you? Where did you get the Hammer of Orpheus? Is there more Hammer of Orpheus?"

Of course he would never have thought, no matter how hard he tried, that the man in front of him had just ransacked Raphael's mansion.

"The Hammer of Orpheus is not a divine weapon. It was just forged by Raphael with precious metals. You can have as many as you want, but this one of mine..." Leon smiled, "I just introduced myself. My name is Leon... I know what you want to know. I'll just introduce myself to Bell."

"Bell?" Will's face suddenly changed, and he unconsciously took a half step back, "Damn it, I might as well face Raphael, that narcissist."

Upon hearing this, Voss immediately took a step forward, his face slightly flushed with excitement.

As a Githyanki, he may have many flaws, but his loyalty to the Comet Prince is unquestionable. He said: "You have the hammer of Orpheus in your hand? Please give it to me, I am willing to do anything for you."

"You can't give me what I want." Leon's eyes left Voss and fell on Xie Nian. He had always played Xie Nian in the game, but he didn't expect that he would be face to face with Xie Nian. This feeling was quite strange. "I want the Crown of Karsus and the Nether Stone."

"Why do you all want that thing..." Gale couldn't help but interrupt. After all, he had a mission from the Goddess of Magic, and the target of the mission was the Crown of Karsus. "I don't think it's a good idea to hand over the Crown of Karsus and the Nether Stone to a devil."

"In fact, the crown of Karsus has been kept in the treasury of the great devil Mephisto, and there has been no leakage..." Leon paced slowly and looked at Xie Nian deeply, "Until it was stolen by someone."

"It can be seen that even if the Crown of Karsus falls into the hands of the devil, it is better than falling into the hands of others." Lyon spread his hands and made a helpless gesture. "By the way, you just arrived at Baldur's Gate and didn't know that the Witchery Grocery Store was looted. Nothing is left."

"Without the Karsus Chronicle, it will do you no good to hold the Karsus Crown." Leon stared at Gale, "Instead of giving it to your old lover... He actually wants you to self-destruct, why not promise to give it to me? I will help you win."

"If you feel that the bargaining chips are not enough and the deal is not worthwhile." Leon looked at Kalak and the glowing Hell Engine on his chest, "Your heart was replaced by the Hell Engine instead of Zariel. I happen to have the blueprint in my hand. As long as you modify it according to the blueprint, I can ensure that your Hell Engine can run smoothly in the material plane."

"Are you serious?" Kalak took a sudden step forward, the lines on his red skin flashing violently.

Leon did not answer directly, and continued: "In the end, I don't need your contract. You don't have to worry about me playing tricks on the Purgatory Contract. Your soul will fall into hell. You can regret it, just be prepared to bear my anger."

"You are not the devil." Will said firmly, "The devil only believes in the purgatory contract."

"I never said I was the devil." Leon shrugged.

"If it's not the devil." Will took a deep breath, "I support this deal."

"Me too." Kalak shouted impatiently, with hope shining in his eyes.

Leon's eyes were always fixed on the silent Evil Thought. He knew that Evil Thought had the Astral Prism in his hand. At this moment, the Mind Flayer Lord hiding in the Astral Prism must be frantically persuading Evil Thought to reject this deal - the hammer that could destroy all restraints was exactly what it feared the most.

"You can think about it. I'm not in a hurry." Lyon said, "I have plenty of time, but you don't."

In the game, everyone usually lives in camps and camps. In reality, people naturally would not choose to camp in the wild after entering the city. Lyon saw the gravekeeper, an ordinary-looking, haggard old man, under the caress of Xia Ruisi.

"Hello." Leon took the initiative to greet.

The gravekeeper raised his eyes, which were like two bottomless ancient wells, and said, "I have a question. What is the value of the life of an ordinary person?"

"Two hundred gold coins." Leon said with a smile.

"Very good." The gravekeeper remained noncommittal. "I have the answer."

Leon thought for a moment, then stopped smiling and said seriously, "Everyone has to die, some are heavier than a mountain, some are lighter than a feather."

The gravekeeper nodded slowly and also did not comment. "Your Excellency will not chase me away, will you?" Leon tried. He had always been most worried about the gravekeeper. Although the ancient death god had divided his power into three powerful powers, he must have retained a part of his power and had many backup plans.

He thought that he could use the power of heaven and earth to intimidate Tiamat, but Tiamat would react sooner or later, and he could not sustain that state for long. With his current strength, he was still not able to challenge the real gods.

"I am just an observer." The gravekeeper replied slowly.

Leon breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease for the time being.

Next, he stayed with the protagonist group, followed them everywhere, and went to Baldur's Gate to attend the coronation ceremony of the Grand Duke of Gotash.

In the game, due to the gameplay, the coronation ceremony is held in the Feilongyan Fortress. In reality, it will only be held in the Upper City. The Supreme Hall in the Upper City is the palace of the Grand Dukes, where they handle city affairs.

To prevent trouble, the coronation ceremony was filled with Iron Guards and Flaming Fists, as well as a powerful peacekeeping force called the Watchers.

The gravekeeper is unlikely to take action, and Leon won't take action either. Even if the protagonists' strength has basically recovered, their weapons and equipment are two levels worse than in the game - the game is quite generous in distributing equipment to make players have fun - it's hard to say who will win or lose in a head-on fight, not to mention that there are a lot of civilians who are afraid to take action, so the protagonists choose to endure.

The crystal chandelier hanging from the dome of the Supreme Hall reflected a dazzling light. Gotash, wearing a luxurious robe with gold embroidery, spoke eloquently: "My compatriots, fellow Boders - friends, thank you for spending this special day with me."

The coronation ceremony of the Grand Duke of Gotash was ordinary and there was nothing worth mentioning.

Until the end of the ceremony and the crowd gradually dispersed, Gotash walked towards the protagonists in the corner with deliberately steady steps, found Xie Nian, and kept saying that he admired Xie Nian and that Olin was unreliable. He hoped to form an alliance with Xie Nian, abide by their respective promises, and work together to become the king.

According to the plot of the game, Leon knows that Gotash is sincere and is a fanboy of Xie Nian, because the entire Supreme God plan is completely dominated by Xie Nian. If Olin hadn't backstabbed Xie Nian, the Supreme God plan might have succeeded. Olin is a complete lunatic.

Xie Nian was silent for a moment and said that he could consider it. Gotash "kindly" reminded the protagonists that the shapeshifter Olin had already set his sights on them, so they should be careful of the shapeshifter.

Then, Will's former master Mizora appeared. He was a Cambion with a rather coquettish appearance. Because the original Purgatory Contract between him and Will ended due to an incident, he now hopes to reach a new Purgatory Contract with Will and promises to help Will rescue his father.

Although Will is a black man, Leon doesn't hate him and helps Will.

That's what happened at night.

Leon and the protagonists stayed at the Elfsong Inn together. They sat in the lobby late at night, drinking, eating meat, and listening to the bard telling stories, when they suddenly saw Will rushing over.

"It's too late to explain." Will's Adam's apple rolled violently, "Come with me now."

"Where are we going?" Leon asked.

"Don't ask so many questions yet, just follow me," Will said, "You'll understand when you get there."

"Okay." Leon finished the last piece of steak and followed Will, leaving Elfsong, walking through the streets and alleys of Baldur's Gate and entering the city sewer.

It is a vast underground network of dank cellars, twisting corridors and narrow tunnels. It is said that deeper underground, there is a series of underground tunnels and caves, including an ancient temple of Baal.

Leon was happy to follow Will without asking any questions. It was not because he trusted him, but because he saw through at a glance that Will was disguised as Olin... The opponent in the game would kidnap the player's companions according to a certain priority order, and then disguise themselves as the player's companions. He didn't expect that the kidnapping would fall on him.

"Do you like death?" Olin, a mere woman, certainly couldn't see through Leon's identity, nor could she know that Leon had seen through her. There was a morbid excitement in her voice.

"I like it." Leon answered straightforwardly.

"A calculated murder, or a brutal and bloodthirsty massacre?" Olin asked.

“Honestly, I don’t like to use my brain or calculate, so I prefer to massacre.” Leon’s voice was a little lazy. “You know what mowing the grass means? It’s a massacre like mowing the grass, one cut at a time, a large area.”

"I prefer murder," said Orin. "Which weapon do you prefer, a dagger or a sword?"

"Sword," Leon said, "I don't know how to use a dagger, only a sword, and fangs and claws."

"Tooth and claw?" Orin narrowed his eyes. "Are you a druid?"

"I'm not a druid, I just can transform." Leon said with a smile.

"It just so happens that I'm also good at transformation." Olin showed a weird and hideous smile, the time has come.

"Can you deform more than me?"

Hearing the voice behind her, Orin turned around and found that the black-haired man who had been following her was gone, replaced by a white dragonborn warlock - Evil Mind, her brother of the Son of Bhaal.

Before she could react, the White Dragonborn Warlock first turned into a black cat, then into a Soul Judge, then into an Owlbear... and finally, he turned into an "Olin".

That "Olin" had big braids, a face as pale as paper, almost bloodless skin, sharp and delicate features, high cheekbones, lips that were dark red, like coagulated blood, eyes flashing with fanatical murderous intent and neurosis, and a suit of armor made of multiple layers of dark red leather and metal pieces...

"I am Olin, who are you?" the "Olin" spoke.

Olin looked at the "Olin" who suddenly appeared, and subconsciously looked down at himself. She was "Will". In an instant, he fell into unprecedented confusion. Who am I? Am I Will or Olin? Am I the one who is preparing to kidnap or the one who is being kidnapped?
