Chapter 201 Shield Brooch
The magic item sent by Mrs. Satyr is a strange item called [Shield Brooch]. It is shown as blue and of high quality on the panel. As long as you wear it, this brooch will It will emit a force field with properties similar to non-Newtonian fluids within 6 feet (2 meters) of the wearer's body, helping the wearer to deflect long-range attacks from far away.
However, although it sounds good, in fact the specific effect 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, 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, when he attacked Nohill, he almost I didn't feel any resistance.
And this means that the effectiveness of this protective force field is really not very strong. It can only block hidden arrows, but even so, there is such a thing that can really help. It would be better for him to survive in a chaotic place like hell.

“Okay, boys, we’ve pretty much said what needs to be said, and everything that needs to be prepared is fully prepared, but before we set off, I still want to emphasize the purpose of our trip. "
Consultant Florrick led everyone to an empty room. Looking at the people who were well prepared in front of her, she said slowly to them with a heavy face.
“Our most important 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. Therefore, I hope you can obey this order in the next actions, with the main goal of saving the Grand Duke of Ravengard."
Jander, Ander and Gro heard this. They all nodded in understanding. They were either local residents of Baldur's Gate or friends entrusted by Advisor Freik, so they had no objections to this arrangement.
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 someone's life safety at risk. On top of the lives of the people in the entire city.
So Lulu let out a short chirp to express his dissatisfaction, and Minsk even immediately said "Hey!" and then wanted to go to the adviser and ask him why he had tens of thousands of people in the city. Regardless of life.
If Xiao Bu hadn't called twice urgently into his ear to stop him from messing around, he would have been able to avoid causing trouble.
It’s just that Minsk looked confused at what Xiao Bu said. Obviously, he didn’t understand what Xiao Bu said, but at least he stopped being reckless because of Xiao Bu’s persuasion. Behavior.
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 main purpose of the advisors 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. Even Minsk's outburst was expected by her. However, Xiaobu's ability to persuade him was beyond the advisor's expectation, but This indeed made it much easier for her to persuade Minsk, so she quickly 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, looking for the Grand Duke and ensuring his safety. It must be the highest priority."
"But I assure you that as long as the Grand Duke is found and returned to the main material plane, our team will devote all its efforts to rescuing Eltoril. among.”
"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 must be loyal to your city, this is my mission.”
“For this reason, we must first find the Grand Duke and ensure his safety, so that we can devote ourselves to saving Ai without any worries. During the operation of Ertoril."
These words made everyone's expressions become much better, 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 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 ahead of us today. Coupled with the resisters still existing in the city, this means that as long as our teleportation location is correct, we should be able to find allies soon without having to fight alone."
"Haha! Are you here? Xiaobu, it’s Jaheira! She’s still the same after all these years! I can’t wait to see my old friend!”
“Cough. , please be quiet, Mr. Minsk, I haven’t finished speaking yet.”
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"..."
Advisor Florrick glanced helplessly at Minsk. This big guy has spent the past few days since recovering from his petrified state. He often caused trouble for her, and she was used to even this little offense.
“Ahem, in short, what I want to say is that everyone must maintain absolute confidence in our action this time!”
“Hell is indeed very dangerous, about this. I won’t lie, but we are by no means alone. I also know that all of you who dare to come and participate in this operation must have put your life and death at risk, but as your organizer, I will definitely do my best to protect your lives. Safe.”
"Now please gather in a circle and hold hands. I will use teleportation to teleport us to Eltoril in Avernus."
"This process involves There is a certain risk. It is possible that a small change in spatial coordinates will cause our landing point to shift to an unknown location. Therefore, I will spend a certain amount of time searching for stable spatial coordinates and locations before starting the teleportation. Please do so. Be prepared and wait patiently."
Everyone immediately took out a face towel and wrapped it around their mouth and nose. According to Lulu, the ambient temperature in Avernus is very high, and ordinary people can feel it every time they take a breath. There was an obvious burning sensation, and I had to use cloth to cover it up to survive 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 they can take precautions in advance. Be sure to make it ahead of time.
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 hurt 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 went by, 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, even shaking out afterimages.
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.
“PlaneShift!”
