An ordinary fantasy adventure in the continent of Faerun

"Well, you always have an idea."

"Call me when you need to take action, and I'll be there when you call."

Ska was convinced, and he said helplessly to Nohir. After all, stealth was really not his specialty. Wearing such a heavy armor, the noise could not be reduced, but if he took off this armor, his combat power would be reduced. It's very severely weakened, so the only thing he can do is respond 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 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."

"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."

Nohir took a look at Ska at this moment. Ska was now fully armed, carrying a two-handed giant sword and a small studded shield behind his back, and a one-handed war hammer hanging from 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? Ska."

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 they are not as good as my previous equipment, they are still pretty good. At least they allow me to give full play to myself. combat effectiveness.”

Scar 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 Skar, who is proficient in giant weapon combat, this giant sword can easily exert 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 block a lot of damage for him in battle. , the warhammer wielded while raising the shield to defend can also seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

After taking a look at it, Nohill felt that his outfit was already perfect. 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.

"It's just that the close combat is really perfect. You and I are both powerful close combat masters, but we don't have stable long-range damage. This is a minor shortcoming."

Ska also frowned when he heard this, because what Nohir 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 shoot a dozen crossbow arrows at him. The damage caused 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. However, I still want to see if there is any way to make up for it. After we get to the lower city, we will go to the witchcraft grocery store to have a look. Now these are The money should be able to buy some good things.”

Ska nodded. After all, Nohill earned the money 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 from the outside, it would not cause any related associations.

Next, Nohir and Scar would have to cross half of Baldur's Gate in half a day, pass through a full six blocks, and circle around Dusthawk Mountain for most of the time before finally reaching the city wall of the lower city. This distance is quite long. It was short, and conservatively estimated that it would take four or five hours. Nohill didn't want any thief to take a fancy to his wealth during this distance.

——

What follows is a long drive, and all transportation in the outer city is basically by 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 all muddy dirt roads, which look like The rural wilderness is nothing like a big city. If you have to take a rickshaw in such road conditions, 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.

——

There were no accidents. Except for accidentally witnessing a few civil disputes on the road, and the Flame Fist who came to violently enforce the law, Ska and Nohir arrived at the wall of the Basilisk Gate almost without any hindrance. Down.

After secretly showing the token to the soldiers stationed at the city gate, Nohir and the others 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.

Soon after entering the city gate, Noshiel smelled the stench of rotting corpses. When he walked out from the bridge hole of the city gate, he saw a whole row of gallows.

Many men and women who were obviously dressed as assassins or civilians were tied around their necks with ropes and hung firmly on the gallows. Some of them had even begun to rot. The smell Noshiel smelled was emitted by these corpses.

He even saw some familiar faces. The reaper whose head he had chopped off was tied to a newly erected cross by several Flame Fist soldiers, with his palms nailed with iron nails, and the head was directly hung on the back of the rack by a hook, which looked very scary. There were also many corpses piled on a cart, but Noshiel did not see the corpse of the shapeshifter.

"What a barbaric act."

Skar suddenly said something like this after witnessing this, but Noshiel could understand why he said that.

Even though he was already a vengeance paladin, it did not mean that Scar had lost his humanity.

Seeing this tragic scene was not only him, even Noshier felt genuinely uncomfortable. This had nothing to do with good or evil, but was just the disgust that humans instinctively aroused after seeing the miserable state of their own kind, even though he and Scar knew that these were murderers who deserved to be hanged.

"There's no need to look at this, Scar, their deaths were entirely their own fault, so their bodies must be set up in this way to warn potential murderers."

Although it was indeed disgusting to hang like this.

"Let's go, we still have a long 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 to stay in."
