Chapter 80 Potential Deterrence
“Well, you always have an idea.”
“Call me when you take action, and I will be there when you call.”
Si Ka was persuaded, and he said helplessly to Nohir, after all, stealth is really not his specialty. Wearing such a pair of heavy armor, the noise cannot be reduced, but if he takes off this armor, his combat power will be greatly improved. It was greatly weakened, so the only thing he could do was to support the enemy outside.
“Haha, I will never forget you, but now let’s go to Xiacheng District to find a safe place to stay.”
Nohill slapped Ka's armor with his right hand. After the road ahead became clear, he became optimistic. As long as they could achieve their goal before dark tomorrow, they basically don't have to worry about the Baal assassins reacting. If If you are lucky enough, you might be able to give the Baal Order a big blow this time.
“I have already inquired about a more suitable place to stay, the Blushing Mermaid, which is located in the crowded side block. Although the tavern is notorious, it is very close to the spacious block in the uptown area, which is more convenient for our future movements.”< br>
“There is still this money, we need to spend it all today, otherwise it will be too eye-catching to carry so much property with us. With so much money, we can also buy some magic props to arm ourselves.”< br>
Nohir took a look at Scar at this time. Now Scar was fully armed, carrying a two-handed giant sword and a small studded shield behind his back, and a one-handed war hammer hanging on his waist. .
“Well, now that you have these equipment, it feels like your whole appearance has changed. But now because of this windfall, we can temporarily strengthen ourselves. Is there anything else you need?” Card.”
Scar shook her head.
“No, I don’t need anything anymore. These equipments are very sophisticated and can be used for a long time if properly maintained. Although it is not as good as my previous equipment, it is still pretty good, at least it can Let me fully display my fighting power."
Ska took off the war hammer from his waist and waved it in his hand. He was very satisfied with the solid weight and good feel.
He was also particular about choosing this set of equipment. The giant sword is specially used to deal with large numbers of enemies or large monsters. In the hands of Scar, who is proficient in giant weapon combat, this giant sword can easily Exhibit unparalleled lethality.
The combination of a warhammer and a shield gives him an advantage in one-on-one battles. Coupled with the excellent defense provided by his thick armor, this combination can provide him with an advantage in battle. He blocked a large amount of damage, and while raising his shield to defend, he could also seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy by swinging his warhammer.
After looking at it, Nohill felt that his outfit was already perfect, and his melee combat had reached an impeccable level. There was only one problem, and that was that neither of them had stable long-range killing capabilities.
"Melee combat is really perfect. You and I are both powerful melee masters, but we don't have stable long-range damage. This is a minor shortcoming."
< br>Ska also frowned when he heard this, because what Nohill said is indeed reasonable, but if it is a simple crossbow arrow, it does not make much sense. If you use crossbow arrows to deal with the devil, you can shoot more than a dozen of them at him. The damage caused by a crossbow arrow may not be as satisfying as Scar's own chop.
“Although I don’t think this is a big problem. If I really need to use a long-range weapon, I can also use a throwing axe, but I still want to see if there is any way to make up for it. Let’s go to Witchcraft Grocery together after we get to the lower city. Take a look at the store, you should be able to buy some good things with the money now."
Ska nodded, after all, the money was earned by Nohir himself, and he had no objection to how he wanted to use it. .
Nohir directly threw the bag of money into his luggage. After being wrapped in the luggage, the sound of the gold coins colliding with each other was greatly reduced, and it did not seem to cause any related associations from the outside.
Next, Nohir and Scar will have to cross half of Baldur's Gate in half a day, pass through six entire blocks, and circle most of the way around Dusthawk Mountain before finally reaching the Lower City. The distance to the city wall is not short. It would take a conservative estimate of four or five hours to walk. Nohill didn't want any thief to take a fancy to his wealth during this distance. ——
What follows is a long journey. All transportation in the outer city is basically based on legs, because Baldur's Gate does not allow private breeding of large creatures larger than peacocks. Cattle, sheep and horses can only be seen in the army and large slaughterhouses.
The road conditions in the outer city of Baldur's Gate do not allow the existence of rickshaws. Among the six blocks in the outer city, except for the Little Calimshan Block, the other five blocks are mud. The dirt road looks like a rural wilderness and not like a big city at all. If you have to take a rickshaw in this kind of road condition, believe me, you might as well walk on your own.
In Baldur's Gate, you can only feel a touch of civilization after entering the city walls.
——
No accidents occurred. Except for accidentally witnessing a few civil disputes on the road and the subsequent violent law enforcement by Yan Fist, Ska and Nohir were almost able to It was said that he arrived at the city wall of the Basilisk Gate without any hindrance.
After secretly showing the token to the soldiers stationed at the city gate, Nohir and the two were directly let go.
Well, it seems that there is really no need to pay the city fee. Five silver coins per person is still quite expensive.
Not long after he entered the city gate, Nohir smelled the stench of rotting corpses. When he walked out from under the bridge of the city gate, he saw a whole row of gallows erected.
Many men or women who were obviously dressed as assassins or civilians had ropes wrapped around their necks and hung tightly on the gallows. Some of them had even begun to rot. What Nohill smelled The smell is exactly what these corpses give off.
He even saw some familiar faces. The Reaper whose head was cut off by himself was being tied to a newly erected cross by several Flame Fist soldiers, with nails nailed to his palms. The head was hung directly on the back of the shelf by a hook. It looked very scary. There were many corpses stacked on a cart, but Nohir did not see the body of the shapeshifter.
"What a barbaric act."
Ska suddenly said something like this after witnessing this, but Nohir could understand why he said that.
Even though he is already a vengeful paladin, this does not mean that Scar has lost his humanity.
It was not just him who saw this tragic scene, even Nohir felt sincerely uncomfortable. This has nothing to do with good or evil, it is just the disgust that humans instinctively arouse after seeing the miserable conditions of their own kind. reaction, even though he and Scar knew that these were murderers who deserved to be hanged.
"There is no need to see this, Scar, their deaths are entirely their own fault, so their bodies must be set up in this way to warn potential murderers."
< br>Although it is really disgusting to just hang here like this.
“Let’s go, we still have a way to go. This kind of thing is not something we can interfere with. The most important thing for us now is to go to the witchcraft grocery store to buy some equipment, and then find a tavern. Stay.”
