Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 58 Explore
  "Then I'll buy a set of equipment first, and we'll meet next to the Temple of Mercy in half a day."

Scar took the two blood stones. Although Baldur's Gate has a very interesting currency system, people also support the most extensive gold, silver, and copper coins on the continent, or the most primitive barter. As long as you can bring out items that the merchant likes, you can naturally trade them at will.

After the agreement was made, Ska left first. As a tenth-level high-level paladin, his combat power was so strong that Nohir did not have to worry about him.

And Nohill also began to think about the equipment he could collect in Livington based on his past game experience, or any help he might get.

"I didn't find the Circus of Doom when I came in. Hasn't this circus traveled to Baldur's Gate at this point in time?"

This is a pity, because Nohir clearly remembers that there was a particularly foul-mouthed air djinn in that circus named Akabi.

Just beat it at its roulette game, and the guy will get angry and teleport you to a land filled with tropical plants and dinosaurs.

There, the game characters can find a legendary trident named [Japanese Ninaru], which is the graduation weapon of throwing barbarians. Unfortunately, the circus is no longer there, so it will definitely be impossible to obtain it.

But Nohir had second thoughts.

"The difficulty of obtaining this weapon in the game is very low, but in reality it may not be so."

"Halsin, who originally had a career level of only level 5 in the game, is actually an Archdruid with a career level of 16. Then others will definitely have abilities that match their character backgrounds."

"Although that foul-mouthed air giant is very hateful, combined with his title of Plane Destroyer and his ability to teleport people to extremely distant areas at will, he must be a very powerful being."

Nohir, who has lived in this world for 14 years, already knows this continent far better than before he traveled. He knows that only Chult meets the kind of landform conditions and biological characteristics. That ghost place is at least 600 miles away from Baldur's Gate. Far.

"And that's not all. That circus can make people realize how extraordinary they are in the game. The leader of the circus claims that they are astral travelers and can travel in the astral world. Then their leader Lucius is in reality He must be at least a legendary necromancer."

"...It's so outrageous. It's better not to use this weapon until you are strong enough."

It's best not to have anything to do with this circus, it's really a bit scary with such a big background.

Nohir continued to reflect.

"None of the good equipment that can be easily obtained in the game has appeared at this point in time. Most of the high-quality equipment that can be obtained can only be bought in the store, but I don't have money at the moment."

Judging from the current situation, it is currently impossible to obtain advantageous supplies in terms of equipment. Perhaps the only resource that I can currently obtain is from Danselong's flying ax, which can be given by the remaining Harper members. intelligence support.

"Forget it, my previous experience and pre-travel game experience may not be of much help to me at the moment. I still have to observe through my own eyes."

"Although the guards stationed at the Livington wall easily let us in, that's because Scar and I had dressed up in advance and covered up the symbols of Eltoril on our bodies, otherwise we would have wanted to enter the city. Maybe it won’t be that easy.”

And strictly speaking, they didn't enter the city. They only had to pass the checkpoint on the south wing of Feilong Pass, enter the Song of the Twins area through the Feilong Crossing Bridge, and then pass through the Sow's Hoof area around Dust Eagle Mountain. Castle District, Little Calimshan District, Nochepur District and Stone Eye District, and then pass through the Basilisk Gate. Only then will you truly enter Baldur's Gate.

All the neighborhoods before entering the Petrified Lizard Gate can only be counted as outer city areas. The public security in these outer city areas is poor and the crime rate is high. Robbers and thieves are caught every day and are sentenced to imprisonment depending on the seriousness of the crime. , fined or publicly whipped, and those convicted of murder were escorted directly to the gallows next to the Basilisk Gate.

"I remember that Danseron's throwing ax shop seems to be open on the Dragon Crossing Bridge. If the Flame Fist prohibits the Eltoril people from passing the checkpoint, then I have to worry about the situation of Scar and I."

It was useless to think too much. Nohill began to walk slowly through this once familiar town. People came and went on the streets, of all races and almost no signs of sadness. After all, the tragedy in the distance was related to They have nothing to do with it. Perhaps the only thing they are worried about now is that the influx of large numbers of refugees will lead to rising prices in this area. The road is very muddy, and there are irregular houses on both sides, all built of stone and wood. The terrain is also high and low, with ups and downs. Although people come and go, most of them are in a hurry and everyone has their own things to do. , for work and for life.

While walking on the street, Nohir used his super-high perception to analyze the conversations between passers-by, hoping to find out what happened in Baldur's Gate recently.

-

"Another person was murdered last night. The body is behind the Sword Coast Express. If the postman's dogs hadn't barked all night long, maybe more people would have died."

"Damn, it's this kind of thing again. When will Yanquan take his mind off their damn door and help us ordinary people, who have nothing else to do except collect city fees? "

-

"Have you heard? The capital of Ertugard seems to have disappeared, and the entire city has turned into a bottomless pit."

"Damn Haru, do you believe such outrageous words? A whole city disappeared. Did all the Ertugardians offend the gods?"

"I'm not talking nonsense! This was all published in the Hocktok Mouth Daily. Look, it was a few days ago! Those gentlemen in the Lower Town and Upper Town knew about it much earlier than we knew! "

-

"Join the Ansu Jingwei! The bravest and most fearless mercenary group in the history of Baldur's Gate! Come and join if you are brave enough!"

-

After two hours of shopping in Livington, the above three pieces of information were the most valuable information Nohill found.

"Murder cases are still very frequent. This has not changed half a year ago. I didn't know why at first, but now I have some guesses."

Only the cult of the God of Murder can commit such a horrific incident. These cultists have been causing trouble in Baldur's Gate for hundreds of years, and have never been eliminated. They always cause trouble every once in a while. Come.

"However, most of the original murders occurred in the outer city and lower city south of Feilong Crossing. Unexpectedly, in less than half a year, the Baal cult began to appear even in Livington?"

Nohir was a little worried that these cult lunatics would come out to cause trouble during his search for the Hell Mystery Box, but he couldn't provoke them yet, so he just had to be more careful in his future actions.

"The news of the fall of Eltoril was not widely spread, or perhaps because the incident itself was too bizarre, not many people were willing to believe it even if it was spread."

This is neither good nor bad. The bad thing is that it may be difficult for refugees to find extensive social assistance. The good thing is that people don’t know the specific details, so they won’t have any concerns about me who seems to be a devil. Too extreme a reaction.

"Ansu Jingwei is still recruiting new people. This is a large-scale adventurer team in Baldur's Gate. They provide a variety of services, including intelligence, thugs, and exploration of ruins."

"Perhaps I can get some information from them. Although their information sources may not be as detailed as the guild, the professional ethics of this adventure group are still quite good. Rather than actually going to the guild to inquire about information, I would rather spend my money on Up here.”

After all, those guild thieves don't have any professional ethics. As long as they make money, they can do some good work for you even if it's trivial.
