"seasick……"
The nauseating feeling surged from the belly to the heart, and the already weak body suddenly started to feel drowsy.
Heath fell to the ground and shook his head vigorously. Some dry and bitter smiles could not help but appear at the corners of his pale mouth.
The monsters were chasing him but they couldn't do anything to him, and the Master couldn't take away his life.
The city's blockade couldn't block him. The clergymen had clearly searched the ship, but they still couldn't detect anything unusual about him.
Who knows...
I thought he could survive on the streets since he was a child, competing with vicious dogs for food.
He joined the trade union at the age of eleven or twelve. In less than a year, he became the backbone elite of "Nine Fingers" and the undoubted "star of tomorrow" of the trade union.
Unexpectedly, it couldn't withstand the shaking of this broken ship...
"Change of plans!"
Forcibly suppressing retching, Heath simply lay down again, closed his eyes, and tried his best to adapt to the uncomfortable feeling.
In his mind, he was thinking about the next step.
First of all, those successive attacks and killings, and finally there were even groups of monsters, and even a powerful Master...
"The only thing about me that might offend those guys is my innate ability!"
"so……"
Even though his eyes were closed, the twitching of his eyeballs was still clearly visible under his eyelids.
Those monsters can even fight against the priests of the Helm sect.
There was also the powerful Master who burned dozens of people alive with a spell.
This kind of enemy...
Although Heath felt that he was the future star of the union, and that behind the union, he had something to do with the real Shadow Thieves Guild, but... he didn't think that the union, let alone the Shadow Thieves Guild, would directly fight against that kind of thing for him. The Master, especially, that Master may not be the ultimate enemy!
This kind of enemy, Heath thought about it, and there was only one possibility. It was related to his natural ability, or to say, it was related to his dead ghost father who didn't know whether he was a human or a ghost!
Heath is an orphan from Port Willen. It is said that his mother makes a living by earning money from the coolies at the dock. Naturally, no one knows who his father is.
When she was four or five years old, her mother's whereabouts were unknown, and from then on she tenaciously made a living wandering alone.
Originally, this may be destined to be a tragic life.
But Heath himself didn't expect that in the following few years, he would awaken two abilities one after another, and based on this, he would complete the employment of the rogue profession, and suddenly become a street thief at the lowest level. He was promoted to become the backbone elite of the trade union.
"Silence!"
"Xingying!"
"Why did the guy who gave me these two abilities find my mother?"
"If it's really because of him... is it the so-called record of grievances between wealthy families? What inheritance rights is it for?"
The thoughts in my heart and the drowsiness in my head became more and more uncomfortable.
Heath curled up, trying to warm up his body, which started to feel cold from his abdomen.
Now this situation...
In the original plan, with his proficient skills in deception and abduction, whether it was eating and drinking, or getting on and off the passenger ship, it was all a matter of course. He was more confident and would not attract anyone's attention.
But being so weak now...not to mention that it limits the use of his abilities, just by looking like this, he naturally attracts the attention of others.
and then……
"There is a possibility that the traces will be exposed again!"
"Simply... don't get off the ship at Ascatla, and leave Amn directly!"
"The destination of this passenger ship is Baldur's Gate!"
"If my damn dad is really a big shot... it might be more appropriate and safer to go there!"
"As for the others... in the future, I will definitely find them one by one and pay them back one by one!"
In the darkness, slight snoring gradually began to sound.
This means that we have just set sail, and no crew members will come to this warehouse now, otherwise...
It would be interesting if he could easily escape from the martial law of the "Order of the One Truth" but fall into the hands of a sailor crew!
…
"'Ascending Dragon Transformation II', the transition from prime age to old age!"
"From the perspective of legendary spells, the core element is 'change', with a few steps, plus 'strengthening'!"
"It is impossible to complete it in one step. Even with the assistance of the 'Tianshu Array', it is impossible to achieve this level of difficulty in one step."
"Same as I, it still needs to be divided into multiple steps to build and combine step by step..."
Upper class cabin.
Isaac held a book of adventurers' legends in his hands, but his eyes were wandering, and his concentration was obviously not on it.
There is currently no inspiration for further breakthroughs in the research on "data cards".
During this journey, he simply relaxed. He had not thought about magic research for several days.
However, it’s only been a few days.
He picked up a book of heroes on the ship. After a few glances, he found some descriptions of "evil dragons" and instinctive habits, and his thoughts began to spread.
Ordinarily, it has only been a few years since the age jump was completed, and the body's instinct has been mastered. It is not yet time to start the "Ascending Dragon Transformation II".
However, now that you have some free time, it’s okay to start some ideas in advance... just think of it as another way to relax!
"First of all, to advance into the nature of a dragon, the foundation must be solid enough. For the origin of the dragon..."
"Secondly, take 'Shenglong Transformation I' as a reference and the laws of natural growth as a guide..."
The thoughts in the mind are running rapidly.
At times like this, I habitually lose touch with the passage of time.
I don’t know how long it took.
Suddenly, the ship's hull shook abnormally.
Isaac's divergent eyes wrinkled, and his thoughts finally came to life from deep meditation.
follow closely……
"Um?"
Instead of being annoyed because his thoughts were interrupted, he felt a strange color in his heart, which was reflected in his eyes.
A strange fluctuation!
From the ship, it is spreading to the sea!
Kind of...
confusion!
destroy!
Oceans and storms!
yes……
"The priest of the shrewish goddess!"
The unfolding of spiritual thoughts spread further into the sea.
In the sea...a sahuagin riding a shark!
Those illiterate savage fishmen!
However, the illiterate were illiterate and the barbarians were barbarians. There were priests of the Ocean Goddess on the boat casting spells. These fishmen who also worshiped the destructive power of the Ocean Goddess did not launch a direct attack.
Even……
In Isaac's mind.
Following the bow of the ship, a priest of the Ocean Goddess held aloft the statue of the goddess, arousing destructive energy and issuing a harsh scolding into the sea.
At the same time, another crew member dumped a batch of "sacrifice" that had been prepared long ago.
It can be seen that the aggression of the sahuagin people has obviously subsided.
The people on the ship, who had long been used to it, were panicking. At this time, they were gradually calming down amidst the calm voices and soothing movements of the crew.
"The rapid rise of Baldur's Gate into a prosperous and powerful city-state in the Sword Coast region that can rival Waterdeep is truly unique!"
"It's fair to say that the 'Water Queen's Palace' can become the root of one of the three temples of Baldur's Gate!"
The Temple of the Water Queen is a rare true temple of the Ocean Goddess.
The goddess of the sea, even her believers will secretly call her the "Queen of Violence". Except for the sahuagin, the vast majority of believers are more fearful than belief. They are afraid of her destructive ocean storms and afraid of her moodiness. Things are unpredictable, but if you want to eat at sea, you must "believe" in her.
Because of this, most of the temples of this goddess are just simple sunken ships, caves in the water, and the like.
There are only a handful of real temples.
Especially, among this already handful of temples, if another restriction is added, it must be on land...
Perhaps Baldur's Gate's "Hall of the Water Queen" really is the only one!
Moreover, the "Temple of the Water Queen" is not just an ordinary temple. This land temple of the Ocean Goddess is one of the three famous temples in Baldur's Gate.
It is a core temple that is as famous as the "Temple of Supreme Miracles" of the God of Crafts and the "Ladies Hall" of the Goddess of Luck!
and……
The God of Craftsmanship brings technology and innovation!
Lady Luck bestows good luck and blessings!
And then there’s the goddess of the sea’s protection of the fleet…
The rapid rise of Baldur's Gate is not just because it is located between Waterdeep and Amn!
In response to his spiritual thoughts, Isaac's eyes flickered slightly.
He set Baldur's Gate as the second stop on his journey to the North, and he paid more attention to it than Willen City. Even though Willen City has a joint company and a shipyard, they are all related to the three temples!
especially……
"The God of Craftsmanship! The Temple of the Supreme Miracle!"
Regarding this god who has become more and more important in the material world, and the various changes brought about by his temple...
Even if Isaac lives underground all year round, he has already heard about it.
Even...there are other considerations already!
If these years of research hadn't dragged down almost all of his energy, he might have had some contact with this sect long ago!
This trip is the time to really start thinking about this!
The thought flashed through my mind, and I stopped paying attention to the "communication" between the priest of the Ocean Goddess and those illiterate fish-men.
Isaac's inner thoughts were withdrawn silently.
But at this moment, the thoughts in his heart that had not yet been completely put away suddenly moved again.
Barrett!
This old guy...
There was a strange look in Isaac's eyes.
Through telepathy, the old killer was not staring at the fish-men outside, but instead...
He looked extremely leisurely, actually "coveting" a boy. He ignored the warning outside and took the opportunity to enter the kitchen. He was drinking water and hiding food in his clothes... a boy?
"Does this boring old man also find fun for himself?"
After just a brief glance, Isaac put away his inner thoughts.
Although he knew it, it was probably a little unusual to get the attention of the old guy Barrett.
However, he is also a person who investigates everything thoroughly and leaves no privacy to others!
Especially, not just anyone can attract his attention!
My thoughts quickly returned to the idea.
Not long after, it was time to complete the "peace negotiations" with the fish people, and the passenger ship accelerated again.
…
It's still the deepest part of the warehouse.
Heath, who was preparing to fill his stomach after nightfall, sat on the floor behind the wooden box, tore the hardened bread into strips, and ate it happily with slices of meat and vegetables.
This was a barbecue prepared for passengers. It was much more appetizing than the cold and raw food he had touched the previous two nights.
For a time, even the weakness caused by seasickness faded a lot.
"It shouldn't be far from Ascatella."
"After Ascatella, if you endure it for another three or four days, you will be completely liberated!"
The sour smell on his body is no lighter than the smell of the warehouse.
The feeling of seasickness is even more excruciating.
However, Heath had suffered from food since he was a child, so this ordeal was not too much for him to bear.
Eat big mouthfuls.
Suddenly, his ears twitched slightly, his open mouth stopped and slowly closed, and his body silently retreated deeper into the darkness.
A voice coming down the stairs came over immediately.
Someone is coming again!
The food in his hands is being put away into his clothes, trying his best to cover up the smell of barbecue with the sour smell of clothes.
And at the same time...
"Silence!"
His natural ability has also entered a state that can be activated at any time.
However, there is no need to activate it.
He didn't look at the past, only listening to what was going on over there with his ears.
Should be a crew member.
Some ropes and other things were turned over, maybe it was related to the commotion outside.
Then, the footsteps quickly walked up the stairs, completely unaware of the smell of meat here.
After the sound of footsteps disappeared and there was the sound of the door being locked.
Heath breathed a sigh of relief and took out the food again. While groping in the darkness and swallowing it, he leaned down again and instinctively glanced in the direction just now.
Of course, nothing could be seen clearly. It was completely dark, with only a few rays of light penetrating through the cracks in the door and the deck and coming in vaguely.
"What should I do when I get to Baldur's Gate?"
"I wonder if the union over there is different from Amn's?"
Although he has enough confidence in his own survival ability.
However, after all, he had just turned thirteen, and it was still a foreign country with which he was unfamiliar...
It's all those guys!
It took a lot of effort for him to get ahead in the union, and all of a sudden...
Cursing secretly in his heart, he swallowed the bread in his mouth, Heath...
Before he could finish his thoughts, Heath suddenly narrowed his eyes, as if he was instinctively identifying something.
The next moment, the pupils in his eyes dilated.
Although the feeling of weakness in his body was still there, one hand immediately touched the side of his calf, and the dagger stuck on the leg guard seemed to automatically jump into his palm.
In the darkness, directly opposite him, was a... blurry black shadow!
"Don't be so nervous. A little bread and barbecue aren't enough to go all out, right?"
He made a move, and the shadow's voice also sounded.
The voice sounded a little older, and it also had a bit of a joke.
But the next sentence that follows...
"However, I am very curious. Even though this old man like me was blinded, how did you escape from the seventh-level spell 'Chain Advanced Explosive Rune Technique'?"
Heath's eyes suddenly shrank to the extreme.
The body is bowing, and the dual abilities are also in a critical state.
"Who are you!"
(I was originally going to make up for a chapter, but I had diarrhea all night. I haven’t been feeling well these days, and I’m in a bad state)
