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."
< br>"What reason do they have to let a person they don't know at all join their operation?"
"And considering my strength and my appearance, I can almost certainly say that Harsin I will never let a rookie like me with an eggshell on my butt have anything to do with this big incident."
"I have no choice but to find my own way to escape."
Maybe Jaheira and his group have a way to enter hell, but he will never take Nohir with him into hell.
Ban Yang must have been closed now. 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. , only through teleportation to other worlds can we achieve this goal.
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].
The store manager, a golden dwarf named Hrasik, is a thief of the Hell Lord Mammon and the latch guardian of the Nine Hells.
She usually uses her antique business as a cover. The entire store is filled with various things related to the Nine Prisons, and most of them are genuine. However, her real way to make money is not from selling these antiques, but from selling these antiques. It’s sending people to hell.
Go to hell in the true sense, whether you want to go to Raphael's mansion or Mephisto's treasure house, the devil's tip can open a directional 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 him or pay a big price. No matter which of these two options you choose, you will get what you want in the end. After all, for Hrasik No matter which one you choose, you will make money.
“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, but if you dare to play like this in reality, you will definitely not die fast enough.”
“But fortunately, this guy is quite honest. And as long as there are enough gold treasures, she will not attack your soul."
"After all, Mammon's thief is not Mammon herself, and to deal with Hrasik, as long as you give enough gold coins, then. Just stop her mouth.”
As for how to get enough gold coins.
"It seems that I have to talk to the Gond believers. I just hope that the sponsors of these gods of invention will be generous enough."
——
The next morning .
“Don’t you even say a word to Master Harsin? Is it really okay to just leave like this?”
Ska is still wearing his armor, but at this time he has a He also carried a huge wooden shield and a crude mace on his waist. Under the shield, he also carried a huge adventure backpack 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.
With Nohill alone, it only takes three days to fly at full strength, but it is impossible for him to 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."
No. Hill casually replied that they were now in the forest and had strayed from the safe path.
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 do very crucial? Shouldn't we discuss it with the Archdruid to seek support."
He almost stayed overnight last night He didn't sleep, and his mind kept recalling what Nohir 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 that only we know this information? Do you really think that Harsin does not know these things? The reason why he did not tell us or choose to discuss it with us is because we are too If you are too weak, even if you tell us the whole story, what can we do?"
"Information as important as the disappearance of Duke Gao must have been revealed to them within a few hours of the incident? On the desk, the reason why Harsin said nothing is because what they need now is action more than explanation."
Nohir's straightforward words hit him hard again. He actually wanted to tell Nohir that he was not as weak as he thought, but in the face of his savior, he chose to remain silent. After all, if he continued to defend, it would be like making excuses.
And Nohir continued to explain to Scar.
"They must have done what we want to do now, but no clues were found, so we shifted our focus here, hoping to pry some information out of the devil's mouth."
"But do you know what this means? Scar."
"What does it mean?"
"It means that if the Harper Alliance, which has the strongest intelligence system in the North, None of the organizations found any clues about the mole, which only means that the mole who betrayed Eltoril also had accomplices in Baldur's Gate, and his accomplices were helping him cover up, and they were doing it flawlessly. Completely covering up his whereabouts."
Ska: "What should we do? How can the two of us achieve a feat that even the Harper Alliance has not accomplished?"
Nohill retorted.
Nohir: "No, now is exactly the best time."
"The main force of the Harper Alliance is far away from Baldur's Gate, which will definitely make the hidden mouse relax. Be vigilant, this just makes it easier for us to investigate secretly."
"And he has the ability to hide the mole so well that even the Harpers can't find any information. They have the ability to do this in Baldur's Gate. There are not many powerful ones, and they all belong to powerful families."
"But the reason why I am so sure of finding the traitor is entirely because of Duke Ravengard."
Scar: "Duke Gao? Isn't Duke High of Ravengard missing now?"
Nohir: "Skar, as a native of Eltoril, you must know about Baldur. The feud between Men and Eltoril."
Ska: "You mean ocean trade?"
Nohir: "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.
So even now, this city still has some hard-to-change nature. These nobles who made their fortune from piracy sometimes still don’t mind continuing to play pirates, so gradually, many caravans No longer willing to continue selling goods in Baldur's Gate.
So they continued along the Jonsa River, which flows into the sea, and passed through Baldur's Gate to Eltoril, a city that was once full of glory, was extremely friendly to merchants, and had no tariffs. A strict civilized holy city.
What happened next was obvious. The caravan was the source of wealth, and 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 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 in this process, whoever contributes the most will be the most suspect." I believe that as long as we find this direction, the truth should not be too difficult to find out.”
