An ordinary fantasy adventure in the continent of Faerun

Two days have passed.

During this time, Noshier has successfully hunted a cave bear and completed the wilderness ritual of the bear totem. When entering a frenzy state, the bear totem will appear on the chest in the form of a positive, strong and steady brown bear.

The bear tooth is now strung on the necklace together with the wolf tooth. The only missing totem among the three planned totems is the eagle.

It is difficult to find an eagle's habitat in the forest. Even the tallest tree in this forest seems a bit too short for them.

However, if you walk north from this forest, turn east after leaving the forest, and continue walking along a cleared mountain road, it only takes half a day to reach the main fortress of the Dawn. The terrain of the fortress is built on the mountains, and there must be eagles living nearby.

Or go west, through the green woodland and take the road of ascension to Vol'jin's resting place. From the resting place, you will encounter two forks along the mountain pass. One of the bridges leads directly to Baldur's Gate, but it was destroyed by the red dragon in the game, but it is not here yet. The other road will lead to Vol'jin's rest.

If you take Vol'jin's rest, the terrain will become steep from this section of the road. The buildings here are located in a huge canyon, and there are many weathered stone peaks like isolated peaks standing between the valleys.

Here you can take a cable car directly to the opposite building complex, or you can take a long detour.

You can enjoy this magnificent natural wonder by taking the cable car. If you take a long detour, you have to climb the surrounding cliffs yourself.

But the final destination is the same. Like the main fortress of Dawn in the east, on the opposite isolated peak, the standing people also believe in the magnificent monastery of the god of light, Lathander, which is in the game.

[Guichen Monastery]

"Guichen Monastery, there must be an eagle there. I have encountered it in the game, but what is really important is the legendary weapon hidden in the monastery."

"[Blood of Lathander], this legendary Morningstar hammer should still be hidden in a secret place under the monastery. I am familiar with the decryption process there. If I go there, I may be able to get this legendary weapon without any effort."

In the game, this weapon is the first legendary weapon that players can obtain, and it is also the easiest to obtain.

"Well, the concept of this ease is that you have to kill all the Githyanki entrenched there by yourself or form your own team, and then complete a series of puzzles to explore the monastery slowly and happily."

"...I can't do it at my current level."

In the original game, there were a large number of Githyanki entrenched there. I didn't pay attention to the specific number when playing the game, but there should be at least more than 40. In reality, this number may be several times higher.

"But the game plot has not started yet, maybe the place has not been occupied by the Gis. I remember that the reason why the Gis invaded the Sword Coast on such a large scale was because the Astral Prism was stolen, so they used the monastery as a base and sent troops everywhere to search."

"... So tangled."

"Going east, I can definitely get the Eagle Totem easily, and maybe I can rescue some fleeing Eltoril residents along the way and restore the image of Tiefling in their eyes."

"Going west, although I can definitely get the Eagle Totem, the journey is a bit far. It will take me three days to get there at full speed. I may get legendary weapons, but I may also run into these astral pirates head-on."

Noshir muttered to himself in the cave. Next to him was a huge dead cave bear, weighing more than 700 pounds.

It took him a whole day to find this giant beast yesterday, because it was too heavy to check in, and the cave space was large enough, and the safety level was much higher than that broken house, so Noshir held the ceremony directly here.

"Let's go to the main fortress of Dawn and replenish our strength, and then go to the fallen Eltoril to see what's going on there. After we know what's going on there, we can decide where to go next."

"Go ask the two little squirrels if they are willing to go with me."

"Squeak--Xi'er! Xi'er!"

A little squirrel suddenly ran in hurriedly, shouting as he ran.

Noshier, who had just wanted to find the two little guys, suddenly coughed twice when he heard this name.

"Ahem--don't call me that! I told you many times yesterday that you can call me Noshier or Temariti. Even if you really want to call me Xi'er, you have to pronounce it in a standard way!"

"Xi'er! Protect me! Xi'er!"

The squirrel screamed and grabbed his pants directly. Almost in an instant, he rushed into Noshier's arms and dared not move. His whole body was still shaking.

Seeing that the little squirrel was so scared, Noshier no longer bothered about the name. He held it with his hand and asked carefully.

"What's wrong, Guozi? What happened? Where's Mumu?"

Hearing this, Guozi stopped shaking and anxiously hugged Noshir's finger, pointing outside.

"Mumu is injured! There are many two-legged beasts, they are being chased, there are monsters, Mumu is in the tree hole! Bleeding! A lot of blood!"

"You stay here."

Noshir put Guozi down, immediately picked up the giant axe next to him, flapped his wings and flew out. These two little guys were the scouts he hired yesterday after spending a whole warehouse for the winter. He didn't expect that something would happen on the first day of work.

The fruit was completely frightened on the ground, and it finally came to its senses when Noshir flew out and disappeared.

It looked left and right, and suddenly noticed the miserable dead cave bear in the cave. A huge wound directly smashed its head, and its mouthful of sharp teeth disappeared. Its lifeless eyes stared blankly at the fruit in front of it.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!!!"

--

Noshir quickly flew towards Mumu. The tree hole where they lived was not far from here, and the straight-line distance was probably less than 2,000 feet (more than 600 meters).

According to the squirrel's short legs, the incident must have happened more than five minutes when it ran over.

First, to determine the extent of Mumu's injury, Noshir immediately flapped his wings and headed for the tree hole in the area where they had been.

"Noshir! Here! Here!"

Mumu squeaked at Noshir in the sky in an open space, and it seemed that he was not injured.

"Are you okay, Mumu? Guozi said you bled a lot."

Landing on the open ground some distance away from Mumu, Noshier asked in confusion and caution.

"Blood? No, not my blood, but the blood of the bipeds."

"The tree fell, Guozi was frightened by the sound of the tree falling, and I fell on the stone and got hurt. Guozi dragged me into the tree hole and then went to find you."

"I see."

Some monsters will change into other forms to lure prey, but they will basically not become creatures as small as squirrels.

Unless it is an illusion or a professional druid, only these two can possibly show themselves as a harmless little squirrel.

And other shapeshifting creatures that are threatening to humans will never become objects as small as squirrels, their size has determined that they cannot do it.

"Guozi said there were monsters. Did you see them? What did they look like?"

"Yes, they were purple-skinned monsters with many tentacles on their faces. There were three of them. They rode another big monster and knocked down the tree. Then they chased another group of wingless bipeds in that direction."

Mumu pointed in a direction, and Noshier also noticed the marks on the ground at this time.

"Is this... a track?!!"
