Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 201 Shield Brooch
The magic item sent by Mrs. Satyr is a rare item called [Shield Brooch]. The panel shows blue fine quality. As long as it is worn, this brooch will appear 6 feet (2 meters) around the wearer. A force field with properties similar to non-Newtonian fluids is emitted within the range, helping the wearer to deflect long-range attacks from far away.

However, although it sounds good, in fact, the specific effectiveness of this magic item is not very powerful. Although it can deflect long-range damage such as arrows and magic missiles, it can only deflect, and if the attack is too strong, Otherwise, the defensive effect of the brooch will be directly ineffective.

After getting this piece of equipment, Nohill immediately experimented with Ska. They found that the brooch was completely unable to protect against attacks from melee weapons. According to Ska, he felt almost no resistance when attacking Nohill.

And this means that the effectiveness of this protective force field is really not very strong, and it can only block hidden arrows. But even so, having such a thing can really help him better survive in hell. Survive in that chaotic place.

"Okay, boys, we've pretty much said what needs to be said, and everything that needs to be prepared is ready, but before we set off, I still want to emphasize the purpose of our trip."

Advisor Florrick led everyone to an empty room. Looking at the people in front of her who were well prepared, she spoke slowly to them with a heavy face.

"Our main goal is always to find the Grand Duke of Ravengard and bring him back safe and sound. The secondary goal is to see if it is possible to rescue Eltoril from hell, so I hope You can obey this order in the next actions, with the main goal of saving the Grand Duke of Ravengard."

Zander, Ender and Groo all nodded knowingly when they heard this. They were either local residents of Baldur's Gate or friends entrusted by consultant Freik, so they had no idea about this arrangement. Opinion.

However, Ska, Leon, Minsk, and even Lulu frowned for a moment, because their main purpose was the opposite of what Advisor Frovik said.

Although these people gather here for various reasons, there is only one core reason that really drives them here, and that is to save the city, rather than putting the safety of one person's life above the lives of the people in the entire city. above.

So Lulu let out a short chirp to express his dissatisfaction, and Minsk even immediately said "Hey!" and then wanted to go to the advisor and ask him why he ignored the lives of tens of thousands of people in the city.

If Xiao Bu hadn't called twice urgently into his ear to stop him from doing whatever he wanted to do, he wouldn't have made any trouble.

But Minsk looked confused at what Xiao Bu said later. Obviously, he didn't understand what Xiao Bu said, but at least he stopped his reckless behavior because of Xiao Bu's persuasion.

Consultant Frovik sighed helplessly when she looked at the team whose hearts were a little uneasy. She knew that saying this before taking action would hurt the morale of the military, and she also knew that Minsk's character would definitely be dissatisfied with this statement, but she still said it. , because it is impossible to hide this kind of thing.

The consultant's main purpose has never changed. Instead of suddenly breaking out in subsequent actions and causing the team to fall apart, it is better to take precautions now.

For this reason, Advisor Florrick has considered everything, and even Minsk's outburst was expected by her. However, Xiaobu's ability to persuade him was unexpected, but this did allow her to persuade him. The difficulty of solving Minsk became much lower, so she hurriedly added.

"I know that some people here will definitely be dissatisfied with my remarks, but please understand that our team is the official team of Baldur's Gate after all, and finding the Grand Duke and ensuring his safety must be the highest priority. "

"But I assure you, as long as we find the Grand Duke and return him to the main material plane, our team will devote all our efforts to rescuing Eltoril."

"But if the Grand Duke is not found, then Baldur's Gate is destined to be unable to gain stability. If the focus shifts at this time, then for me, what I do is irresponsible for Baldur's Gate. I You have to be loyal to your city, that’s my mission.”

"Because of this, we must first find the Grand Duke and ensure his safety, so that we can devote ourselves to the operation to save Eltoril without any worries."

These words made everyone's expressions improve a lot, and Minsk even showed an expression of realization.

Looking at everyone who understood her good intentions, the consultant breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you all for your understanding."

After everyone regained their composure, she continued to speak.

"Just yesterday, I had a brief conversation with Master Jahira of the Harpers. If nothing unexpected happened, the Harpers led by the master should have entered hell one step ahead of us today. In addition, there are still There are resistors in the city, which means that as long as our teleportation is in the right place, we should be able to find allies soon instead of having to fight alone."

"Haha! Did you hear that? Xiaobu, it's Jaheira! She's still the same after all these years! I can't wait to see my old friend!"

"Squeak."

"Ahem, please be quiet, Mr. Minsk, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Oh, sorry."

"..."

Advisor Florrick glanced helplessly at Minsk. This big guy had caused her a lot of trouble in the past few days since he recovered from his petrified state. Even she was used to this little offense.

"Ahem, in short, what I want to say is that everyone must maintain absolute confidence in our actions this time!"

"Hell is indeed very dangerous. I won't lie about this, but we are by no means alone. I also know that everyone who dares to come and participate in this operation must have put life and death at risk, but as your organizer, I also We will definitely do our best to protect your lives.”

"Now please gather in a circle and hold hands. I will use teleportation to teleport us to Eltoril in Avernus."

"This process has certain risks. A small change in spatial coordinates may cause our landing point to shift to an unknown location, so I will spend a certain amount of time searching for stable spatial coordinates and locations before starting the transmission. Please also be prepared and patient.”

Everyone immediately took out a towel and wrapped it around their mouth and nose. According to Lulu, the ambient temperature in Avernus was very high. Ordinary people could feel an obvious burning sensation every time they took a breath. They had to use cloth to cover it. Barely surviving inside.

Although they are professionals and have physiques much higher than ordinary people, even they dare not say that they will be completely immune to the negative effects of the bad environment, so if they can take protection in advance, they must do so in advance.

Nohir did not cover his mouth and nose with a towel like them. As a tiefling, he was born with the devil's resistance to hell, and the environment in hell could not harm him.

Afterwards, everyone followed the instructions of Consultant Florrick and formed a circle holding hands with each other. The consultant stood in the circle while holding up his staff and chanting a spell, while taking out a metal tuning fork from the space bag.

As time passed, the spell in the consultant's mouth was coming to an end, and the tuning fork in his hand began to shake violently in the process, and even left an afterimage.

Then at a certain moment, the consultant suddenly threw the tuning fork in his right hand upwards and slammed the staff in his left hand toward the ground.

"Plane Shift!"
