An ordinary fantasy adventure in the continent of Faerun

It has to be said that the riding experience of the owlbear is actually not particularly bad. Although the rider must always prevent himself from falling because there is no saddle, the owlbear's generous flesh pads and silent walking habits make it even easier. When running, the knight riding on its back can also feel a very good riding experience, and the whole process can be said to be very smooth.

Scar was a little uncomfortable at first, but as a paladin, he was proficient in riding skills. In less than five minutes, he was completely accustomed to the running posture of this beast, and he could also adjust his posture slightly. It fits closely to its power point, making the owlbear run more easily.

The owlbear originally had some objections to carrying such a big iron lump on his back, but with Ska's superb riding skills and skilled comfort, he actually let out a comfortable chirp, which made Nohir fly in the sky. vision.

The owlbear has a very long endurance. If its temper gets angry, it can even chase a prey in the wilderness for several hours. There are creatures in the wilderness that have the same endurance as the owlbear. There are only a few of them, which leads to an astonishing success rate in catching prey.

But now it finally had a large armored man weighing nearly 240 pounds on its back, so it only ran for less than two hours before it stopped and found a rest under the shade of a big tree.

Nohir also took advantage of his rest time to directly capture a deer to serve as the owlbear's lunch. However, Nohir did not choose to feed it himself, but asked his temporary rider to do it for him.

Nohir communicated with the owlbear through animal talk, and at the same time stated the owlbear's opinions to Ska. With the help of food and his translator, the relationship between the two began to rapidly progress in the direction of friendship.

but……

"Friends, friends give food, friends are not food? Friends are food!"

"No! No! Friends are not food!"

"Oh, friends are not food."

Alas, now you understand why it is said that no one can tame a wild owlbear. For this kind of IQ, if someone teaches it three sentences, it can only remember one of them. I want to ensure that a wild owlbear can tame it. It is simply impossible to be completely safe and harmless.

This owlbear is pretty good, at least its diet has never included humans. Otherwise, with their IQ, they would only classify all the creatures they have eaten into food categories.

The one in front of him could still be saved a little bit, because Nohir discovered that it was a sub-adult owlbear. It should not have been more than six months from breaking out of the shell to growing to its current size, and its behavior habits had to be corrected the day after tomorrow. possible.

"Nohir, I feel like this guy likes me. Maybe we can find a place to raise him when we get to Baldur's Gate."

Ska held a cut deer leg and shook it twice in front of the owlbear. The owlbear kept staring at the piece of meat and stomped his feet excitedly. Finally, Ska gently threw it up, which made the owlbear He stood up straight in an instant and opened his mouth to bite it, then lay on the ground and devoured it.

"No, this is just your illusion. Its love for you is more of a love for food, and Baldur's Gate has always stipulated that any creature larger than the size of a peacock is not allowed to be brought into the city. You two are It’s impossible, give up.”

"...My sect leader, why are you so weird?"

After throwing the remaining venison to the owlbear again, he rested in place for more than ten minutes and then set off again.

The trimming process was repeated several times, and before night came, the owlbear neighed at the two of them, then turned around and ran back into the dense forest.

"I didn't think I'd say this, but I'm going to miss this big guy."

Ska looked at the giant beast submerged in the forest and said with emotion, and Nohir also looked at Ska in surprise. Ever since he swore an oath this morning, this guy has become a lot brighter and more cheerful than before.

But maybe this state is his normal appearance before.

"If you like, you can raise one from a young age, but what we need most now is to quickly find an open place to camp."

Previously, one of the two was riding an owlbear and the other was flying in the sky, so they were not taking a relatively safe business road, but were heading straight in the direction of Baldur's Gate, walking through the dense forest in a straight line, so nearby Nothing is too empty.

"This kind of creature shouldn't be common. Are there many such monsters in the wilderness?"

"It's not much, but if you take the time to look for it, you can definitely find it. Well, I am relatively familiar with this place. I remember that not far from here, there is a stronghold where I used to rest."

Nohill recalled his life in the wild. He seemed to have lived in this area for a period of time, and there should be a residence he had built nearby.

"Resting point? Here?"

Scar looked at the dense forest around him. The sky was gradually getting dark. The forest near night showed a strange quietness. Even though he was a tenth-level paladin, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Nohir hovered in the sky for more than ten minutes before falling back to the ground and said to Ska.

"I found it. It's not far from the southwest. There is a cave I dug before. It's quite hidden inside and has a lot of space."

"We'll rest near there tonight."

Seeing Scar's surprised look, Nohir suddenly realized something, and then suddenly explained to Scar.

"By the way, you don't seem to know my previous experience. It just so happens that I don't know your previous experience either. Let's have a good chat."

"Your behavior today really shocked me. I'm curious as to what drove you to swear an oath to me so suddenly."

Scar was silent for a while after hearing this question. It was obvious that he was also thinking about the answer to this question, and in the end, the answer he gave was.

"Because of intuition."

"intuition?"

Nohir was really surprised by this answer. Although in Toril, a world with extraordinary power, intuition can be regarded as an extraordinary ability. Even Nohir's own intuition can be said to be quite terrifying. He avoids most potential risks, but this kind of thing is obviously not foolproof unless he reaches a certain level.

I remember that when I was dealing with the chain demon, I was successfully attacked by him. Although I was still alert and did not let it cause maximum damage to me, this also proved that even if I have up to 16 points of perception, Just relying on intuition can still make mistakes.

"Isn't this a little too casual?"

Nohir asked doubtfully.

"It's not really random."

Ska began to explain to Nohir in detail.

"Every paladin who has received training and been inspired by oaths or gods will realize an extraordinary ability called [Holy Sense] at the moment of his awakening."

"This ability can help the paladin distinguish between evil and evil, right from wrong, prevent him from being blinded by evil, and enable him to clearly and directly feel the presence of evil spirits or celestial creatures at close range."

"This ability can help the paladin make a choice when encountering a major event that is enough to trouble the paladin's life, or when the paladin himself cannot clearly distinguish between right and wrong."

"A paladin who is strong enough and old will have his [holy perception] ability become stronger."

"Although I don't want to boast, based on my personal ability level, my [Holy Perception] ability is already more accurate than most paladins."

"Because of this ability, I knew clearly from the first time I saw you a year ago that you were not a hidden evil."

"It is precisely because of this that I believe in you, not only because you have saved my life and the lives of other people, but also because in my instinctive feeling, you are the type who will not let others down."

It's because of this. It feels so strange. Am I considered a good person card?

But Scar hadn't finished speaking yet. After being silent for a while, he finally decided to reveal the truth to Nohir and his current master.

"But most importantly, you shattered my delusion."

"Supreme Observer, in the past ten years, even the Hell Knights have rarely seen the City Lord. Since I became a member of the Knights, I have only met the City Lord once."

"Because of the city lord's weird behavior in recent years, many people are secretly gossiping about him."

"Hell Knights are very disgusted with this kind of thing. I was the same way originally, but..."

"In short, although I am still not sure whether the city lord is the mastermind behind it, but as you said, he is very likely."

"And you, Nohir, we have only known each other for less than a day, but you dare to speak out and criticize my monarch to me just because I am a paladin."

"This kind of courage is something even the Hell Knights lack, so I believe in you precisely because you can believe in me."
