An ordinary fantasy adventure in the continent of Faerun

"But how easy is it to get into the team of the legendary hero? After all, I don't know them in real life except for being familiar with them in the game."

"Why do they let someone they don't know join their action?"

"And considering my strength and my appearance, I can almost say with certainty that Harsin will never let a rookie like me with eggshells hanging on my butt get involved in this major event."

"No way, I can only find a way to escape by myself."

Maybe Jahira and his group have a way to enter hell, but he will never take Noshir with him.

Now the Banyang must have been closed, and 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 again, you need at least a seventh-ring spell, and the teleportation to achieve this goal.

The situation seems to be in a stalemate. After all, Noshir is a rookie. How can he have the ability to ask someone to open a teleportation portal for him?

However, in fact, Noshir really knows a place that can open this portal, and this place is in Baldur's Gate.

In the lower city of Baldur's Gate, there is an antique store called [Devil's Tip].

The store manager, a golden dwarf named Helasik, is a thief of the Lord of Hell Mammon and the gatekeeper of the Nine Hells.

She usually uses the antique business as a cover. The entire store is filled with various things related to the Nine Hells, and most of them are genuine, but her real way to make money is not to sell these antiques, but to send people to hell.

In the true sense of going to hell, 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 the return business (but it will never guarantee any of your personal safety).

You only need to sign a small contract with him, or pay a great price. No matter which of these two options you choose, you will get what you want in the end. After all, for Helasik, no matter which one you choose, it is a profit.

"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 greedy dwarf."

When he thought of that greedy guy, Noshier sighed helplessly.

"In the game, this portal can be used for free, but if you dare to do this in reality, you must be afraid that you will not die fast enough."

"But fortunately, this guy is honest, and as long as there are enough gold treasures, she will not think of your soul."

"After all, Mammon's thieves are not Mammon himself, and to deal with Herasik, as long as you give enough gold coins, you can shut her up."

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."

Early the next morning.

"You didn't even tell Master Harsin? Is it really okay to just go like this?"

Skar was still wearing his armor, but at this time he also had a huge wooden shield on his back, a crude mace on his waist, and a huge adventure backpack under the shield, which was full of food and adventure supplies.

Including torches, oil lamps, boilers, water bags, 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.

If it was just Noshir, it would only take three days to fly at full speed, but he couldn't take Scar with him.

"I've already told Master Harsin, but the reason he gave was to go to Baldur's Gate to contact the Gond believers to sell those hell chariots."

Noshir answered casually. They were now in the forest and had deviated from the safe road.

The reason for this is that Noshir was dissatisfied with the current slow pace, so he planned to go into the forest to find some animal allies to help him, mainly to help Scar move forward quickly.

"Why do you want to do this? Isn't what we are doing very important? Shouldn't we discuss it with the Archdruid to seek support?"

He almost didn't sleep last night, and kept recalling what Noshir 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.

No matter who he met in Baldur's Gate, he must abide by the oath he made to Noshir in front of him last night, break the fangs of this greedy beast, rip him open, and let him bleed like a river! Even if this person is really...

"Ska, do you think we are the only ones who know this information? Do you really think that Halsin doesn't know these things? The reason why he didn't tell us and didn't choose to discuss with us is because we are too weak. Even if he told us the whole picture, what can we do?"

"Such important information as the disappearance of Duke Gao must have been on their desk within a few hours of the incident. The reason why Halsin didn't say anything is because what they need now is action rather than explanation."

Noshir's straightforward words hit him hard again. He actually wanted to tell Noshir that he was not as weak as he thought, but facing his savior, he chose to remain silent. After all, if he continued to defend himself, it would be like making excuses.

And Noshir continued to explain to Scar.

"They must have done what we want to do now, but they didn't find any clues, so they shifted their 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 even the Harpist Alliance, an organization with the strongest intelligence system in the North, has not found any clues about the traitor, then it can only mean that the traitor who betrayed Eltoril also has accomplices in Baldur's Gate, and his accomplices are covering for him, and they are doing it perfectly, completely covering up his whereabouts."

Skar: "! Then what should we do? How can the two of us accomplish a feat that even the Harpist Alliance has not done?"

And Noshir retorted.

Noshir: "No, now is the best time."

"The main force of the Harper Alliance is far away from Baldur's Gate, which will inevitably make the hidden rat relax its vigilance, which is convenient for us to investigate secretly."

"And there are not many forces in Baldur's Gate that are capable of hiding the traitor so well that even the Harper cannot find any information, and they are all powerful families."

"But the reason why I am so sure to find the traitor is entirely because of the High Duke of Ravengard."

Skar: "High Duke? Isn't High Duke of Ravengard missing now?"

Noshir: "Skar, as a native of Eltoril, you must know the grievances between Baldur's Gate and Eltoril."

Skar: "Are you talking about maritime trade?"

Noshir: "Yes."

Noshir nodded and continued.

"Baldur's Gate is adjacent to the Sword Sea. As a port city, Baldur's Gate welcomes many trade fleets from the Moonshae Islands, Waterdeep, Neverwinter and even Luskan every day."

But the predecessor of Baldur's Gate was not glorious. It was originally just a pirate port. It was only after Baldur's return from the voyage and brought back huge treasures that Baldur's Gate began to be built gradually.

So even now, this city still has some hard-to-change nature. These nobles who made their fortunes by pirates sometimes still don't mind continuing to play the role of pirates. So gradually, many caravans are no longer willing to continue to sell goods in Baldur's Gate.

So they continued along the Jonsa River, which flows into the sea, and passed through Baldur's Gate directly to Eltoril, a civilized holy city that was once full of glory, extremely friendly to merchants, and with not harsh tariffs.

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.

"Under this cultural background, the two cities have always had a lot of grievances. Ska, what kind of influence do you think can make the leaders of the cities that have always had grievances go to the city on the other side?"

"You mean... someone else instigated it!"

"That's right, and in this process, whoever contributes the most will be the most suspicious."

"And I believe that as long as we find this direction, the truth should not be too difficult to find out."
