Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 43 Heading to Baldur's Gate
  "But how easy is it to get into the team of a legendary hero? After all, apart from being familiar with them in the game, I don't know them at all in reality."

"What reason would they have to allow someone they didn't even know to join their operation?"

"And considering my strength and my appearance, I can almost say with certainty that Harsin will never let me, a rookie with an eggshell hanging on my butt, be involved in this big incident."

"There is no other way. I can only find a way to escape on my own."

Maybe Jaheira and his group have a way to enter hell, but he will never take Nohir with him into hell.

Banyang must have been closed now, and it is definitely impossible to fly directly into hell from the original route, and the largest teleportation entrance to hell is closed. If you want to go to hell, you will need at least a seventh-level spell and otherworldly teleportation. This purpose.

The situation seems to have reached a deadlock. After all, Nohill is a rookie. How can he have the ability to have someone open a portal for him to travel to another world?
  However, in fact, Nohir happened to know a place that had the ability to open this portal, and this place was at Baldur's Gate.

In the lower town of Baldur's Gate, there is an antique store called [Devil's Tip].

One of the store managers, a golden dwarf named Hrasik, is a thief of Hell Lord Mammon and the latch guardian of the Nine Hells.

She usually uses her antique business as a cover. The entire shop is filled with various things related to the Nine Hells, and most of them are genuine. However, her real way to make money is not by selling these antiques, but by sending people to hell.

To truly go to hell, whether you want to go to Raphael's mansion or Mephisto's treasure house, the devil's tip can open a portal for you and support return business (but it absolutely does not guarantee any of your Personal safety).

You only need to sign a small contract with it, or pay a big price, but no matter which of these two options you choose, you will eventually get what you want and get to where you want to go.

"I don't want to sign that damn little contract, but if I don't sign the contract, I need to prepare enough gold to impress that money-grubbing dwarf."

Nohir sighed helplessly when he thought of that greedy guy.

"In the game, this portal can be used for free prostitution, but if you dare to play like this in reality, you will definitely not die quickly enough."

"But fortunately, this guy is quite honest, and as long as there are enough gold treasures, she won't try to kill your soul."

"After all, Mammon's thief is not Mammon herself. To deal with Hrasik, as long as you give her enough gold coins, you can stop her mouth."

And want to get enough gold coins.

"It seems that I still have to talk to the Gond believers. I just hope that the sponsors of these Gods of Invention will be generous enough."

-

Early the next morning.

"Aren't you going to tell Master Harsin? Is it really okay to just leave like this?"

Skar was still wearing his armor, but at this time he was carrying a huge wooden shield on his back, a crude mace on his waist, and a huge adventure backpack under the shield. It was filled with food and adventure supplies.

Includes torches, oil lamps, boilers, water bottles, skinning knives, tinder boxes and sleeping bags.

At this time, they were walking on the road to Baldur's Gate. If they walked at a normal speed, it would take at least 10 days.

If Nohill was the only one, it would only take three days to fly at full strength, but he couldn't fly with Ska.

"I have already told Master Harsin, but the reason I gave was to go to Baldur's Gate to contact the Gond believers and sell those hell chariots."

Nohir replied casually that they were in the forest now and had strayed from the safe road.

The reason for this is that Nohir dislikes that the current traveling speed is too slow, so he plans to enter the forest first to find some animal allies to help him, mainly to help Ska move forward quickly.

"Why is this? Isn't what we are doing very crucial? Shouldn't we discuss it with the Archdruid to seek support?"

He almost didn't sleep all night last night, and his mind kept recalling what Nohill told him.

He didn't want to believe it, but he had to believe it.

So after a long ideological struggle, he is now ready to wake up. No matter who the person he meets at Baldur's Gate is, he must abide by the oath he swore to him in front of Nohir last night, break the fangs of this greedy beast, and kill the greedy beast. He disemboweled him and made him bleed like a river! Even if this person is really...

"Ska, do you think only we know this information? Do you really think Harsin doesn't know these things? The reason why he didn't tell us or choose to discuss it with us is because we are too weak, even if he told us Given the full picture, what can we do?”

"Information as important as the disappearance of Duke Gao must have been on their desk within a few hours of the incident. The reason why Harsin said nothing is because they need more information now than explaining It’s action.”

Nohill's straightforward words hit him hard again. He actually wanted to tell Nohill that he was not as weak as he thought, but in the face of his savior, he still chose to remain silent. After all, if If you continue to defend, it will be like making excuses.

And Nohill continued to explain to Scar.

"They must have done what we want to do now. It's just that no clues were found, so we shifted our focus here, hoping to pry some information out of the devil's mouth."

"But you know what that means? Scar."

"What does it mean?"

"It means that if even the Harper Alliance, an organization with the strongest intelligence system in the North, has not found any clues about the mole, it can only mean that the mole who betrayed Eltoril also has accomplices in Baldur's Gate. , and his accomplices are helping him cover up, and they are doing it perfectly, completely covering up his whereabouts."

Scar: "! So what do we do? How can the two of us accomplish a feat that not even the Harpers have accomplished?"

Nohill retorted.

Nohill: "No, now is the perfect time."

"The main force of the Harper Alliance is far away from Baldur's Gate, which will inevitably make the hidden rat relax its vigilance, which is convenient for our secret investigation."

"And they have the ability to hide the mole so well that even the Harpers can't investigate any information. There are not many forces in Baldur's Gate that have the ability to do this, and they are all from powerful families."

"But the reason why I am so sure of finding the mole is entirely because of Duke Ravengardgard."

Scar: "Duke Gao? Isn't Duke Gao of Ravengard missing now?"

Nohir: "Ska, as a native of Eltoril, you must know the grudges between Baldur's Gate and Eltoril."

Scar: "You mean ocean trade?"

Nohill: "That's right."

Nohir nodded and continued.

"Baldur's Gate is adjacent to the Sea of ​​Swords. As a port city, Baldur's Gate welcomes many trade fleets from the Moonshadow Islands, Waterdeep City, Neverwinter and even Luskan every day."

But the predecessor of Baldur's Gate was not glorious. It was just a pirate port at first. It was only after Baldur's return from the voyage and brought huge treasures that Baldur's Gate began to be gradually built.

Therefore, even now, this city still has some hard-to-change nature. These nobles who made their fortune by piracy sometimes still don't mind continuing to play pirates, so gradually, many caravans are no longer willing to continue to play in the game. Dezhimen sells goods.

So they continued along the Jonsa River, which flows into the sea, and passed through Baldur's Gate to Eltoril, a civilized holy city that was once full of glory, was extremely friendly to merchants, and had not strict tariffs. .

What happened next was obvious. The caravans were the source of wealth, the two cities were competitors, and Baldur's Gate was at a disadvantage.

"In this cultural background, the two cities have always had grievances. Ska, what kind of influence do you think can make the city leaders who originally have grievances go to the city on the other side?"

"You mean someone else instigated it!"

"Yes, and in this process, whoever contributes the most will be the most suspect."

"And I believe that as long as we look in this direction, the truth shouldn't be too difficult to find out."
