If the legendary pirate Bo De'an has really become a god, then the route he took may involve some of the two aspects. This is a relatively new way to become a god. The foundation of Bo De'an's becoming a god is force on the one hand, and fame and singing similar to faith on the other hand.
Faith is the greatest meaning of a religion, but religion is not equal to belief. As long as people in the world believe in the existence and miracles of a certain god and spread it by word of mouth, then faith already exists.
This is what the legendary pirate Balduran did. Countless people in the Baldur's Gate region believed in his legendary experience and passed it down from generation to generation, which actually constituted faith.
If Bo De'an has not fallen, then either he has given up his real name and become a certain god of the current ocean god system, or he has temporarily become a holy spirit, waiting for the opportunity to replace a certain god.
The age he lived in was only a few hundred years ago, and for the Holy Spirit and the gods, this was a rather short process.
Of course, all of this has nothing to do with the assassin. What he really wants is the inheritance that Bo De'an may leave behind. Martial skills are second to none, and the focus is on the experience and notes of the legendary pirate on his career path.
Thinking of this, the assassin no longer hesitated, disappeared in place, and chased in the direction Qin Lun and others were heading. In any case, the team ahead is his only clue now.
…
"Qin Lun, have you noticed that our mission has not disappeared!" Hill communicated with his two companions in the team channel.
"Yeah!" Qin Lun nodded. In the task column of the death list, the "Trace of Bo De'an" is still there. They have already left the Land of the Dead and entered the territory of the Troll's Claw, which means that the legendary pirates may have also been here.
Although the group, including Mustasha, did not find any new clues, their soul imprints are connected to the Broken Starry Sky. Perhaps at some point, inadvertently, they have seen the traces left by Bo De'an, and the apostle cannot identify it, which does not mean that the starry sky cannot be measured.
"Under the current situation, we don't need to deliberately look for clues to Bo De'an. The biggest benefit this mission provides us is that it saves the time of stay." The three were a little helpless. After this adventure in the land of death, they had already Aware of the danger here.
If there was no such thing as Elistin, with the shrewdness of the three of them, I am afraid that they would choose the safest route to withdraw from the troll's claws. In this kind of place, their strength is still not enough, and they are often hunted down by legendary creatures, which is really beyond the scope of their ability.
"Hehe, aren't you a little discouraged? No matter how much your strength improves, you always feel that you will be crushed by the mission world!" Qin Lun thought about it, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Indeed!" Hill and Rand looked at each other and smiled wryly. If there hadn't been a ninth-level magic scroll - Meteor Fall last night, some of them would have died. Without the help of external objects, neither Qin Lun's demonic transformation, nor Hill and Rand's own trump cards, could compete against the ghost-faced squid.
"Be prepared mentally. If you can find a real epic mission next, then this adventure has just begun." Qin Lun sighed and cautiously reminded his two companions.
While the three of them were talking, they saw the thieves in front of them galloping towards them.
"There is no way ahead, but there are two more caves." Lago's words were somewhat contradictory, which surprised everyone.
It's just that when everyone turned a small corner in the crack of the canyon, they immediately understood what the thief meant. There was indeed no way ahead, a steep mountain wall completely blocked the way, as if the extension of the crack in the mountain range had come to an end.
However, there is a small cave on the left and right sides of the mountain wall. Judging from the traces around the cave, it seems that it is not an animal den, but a man-made excavation, because the shape is relatively regular.
Of course, these two openings looked extremely dilapidated, full of cobwebs and moss, obviously no one had visited here for a long time.
"Could it be the relics left by Bord'an!" Lago once again thought of things like treasures, and his narrow eyes were shining, not so much greed, but more curiosity.
Seeing the expression on the thief's face, Qin Lun and the other three suddenly felt strange. The three blood-piercing mercenaries they hired are really interesting. Few people can resist the temptation of treasures, but there are three in front of them at once.
"Let's take a break and let my hunting partner scout the way for us." Qin Lun thought for a while, and then suggested that the team stop to rest. Anyway, they walked for a long time, and the sky was getting dark.
The summoned Shadow Storm Leopard made Winnie's eyes shine brightly. She liked this big cat with beautiful fur very much. It's a pity that Venus should not be close to strangers, and the grinning appearance made the female mage couldn't help feeling sorry for her, and she didn't dare to get too close.
After most of the night, Venus finally finished exploring the cave on the left. There were no traps inside, and it was a dead end.
However, according to the consciousness conveyed by the Shadow Storm Leopard, there seems to be something strange in this cave. Venus doesn't quite understand what those things represent, it only knows that they are artificial creations.
"Treasure, treasure!" Before he finished listening to Qin Lun's words, the thief's eyes lit up, and he dodged into the cave, causing everyone to smile wryly, since it was not yet dawn.
Mustasia made a torch with some scattered dead branches in the crevice of the canyon, and led everyone inside. Even though Venus had explained that there were no traps inside, everyone still seemed a little cautious. The size of monsters is different from that of humans. Who knows if there are traps specially designed to deal with humanoid creatures.
Entering the depths of the cave, everyone finally saw the artificial creation mentioned by the Shadow Gale Leopard, and they were all a little disappointed in their hearts. There is no treasure here, it looks like a dilapidated altar, and it is a place that has been abandoned.
The altar is in the shape of steps. According to Mastacia's observation, it is not like an altar set up by humans, but a more ancient and primitive place of worship, most likely a place where trolls pay homage to their ancestors.
Everyone searched the cave, and there is almost nothing of value here. Several broken earthen jars that were almost fossilized, some specially made pieces of meat that had been air-dried into mummies, and two candlesticks that were said to be carved from the calf bones of trolls.
At first, everyone didn't believe that it was the calf bone of a troll. How can they use the remains of clansmen to carve utensils
However, Mustasia explained that this is not necessarily the remains of the ancestors of the tribe that sacrificed, and it may also belong to a hostile tribe. There will be battles between the various troll tribes, and it is not uncommon to make the remains of each other's warriors into sacrificial objects.
"If this cave is a sacrificial place dug out by the troll before, then another cave may have a passage leading to the inside of the troll's claw." Mustasia quickly thought of a possibility.
Everyone no longer hesitated, and immediately exited the cave, heading towards the cave on the right side of the mountain wall. Qin Lun recalled Venus and kept the Shadow Storm Leopard in the middle of the night, which made him a little overwhelmed.
"It's a pity that my hunting partner is not here." Mustasia felt a little regretful. Before entering the land of death, the magic mouth that everyone found was her hunting partner. It's just that the environment in the Land of the Dead is not suitable for the Magic Mouth, so Mustasia didn't bring it in.
After entering another cave, the pathfinders were replaced by Qin Lun and Mustasha. Despite a few torches, the vision of the two elves was clearly more useful than the rogue's in this case.
This cave is different from the previous one. Although there are some traces of artificial carving at the entrance of the cave, it is a large cave inside. The space is very large, the cave is tens of meters high and more than ten meters wide, the ground is a bit rough, and some huge stalagmites can be seen from time to time.
Part of the stalagmites and the stalactites hanging upside down from the roof of the cave come together to form a stone pillar with thick ends and a narrow middle. This scene was quite magical, and both Hill and Rand couldn't help but think of some underground caves in the Earth Federation.
Of course, those places have long since become famous tourist attractions.
As we went deeper into the cave, everyone felt relaxed. It seemed that there were no artificial traps here. The trolls seem to be less cautious than other intelligent races in Faerun. Perhaps the strong physique bestowed by the world of Toril made them ignore the use of tools and the natural environment around them.
"Ouch!" Just when everyone was a little relaxed, Winnie suddenly staggered and almost fell to the ground.
She kicked something near her feet just now, and that thing flew far away and hit the stone wall of the cave, making a loud "嘡啷" sound, and the echo spread far in the cave.
"What is this?" The female mage took two steps forward, leaned over and picked up the object she kicked just now.
"The scapula of the jurassic beast?" Rick said with some uncertainty.
In Faerun Continent, jurassic beasts are not uncommon. This is a beast that looks like a mouse but is about the size of a wild boar. Timid and gentle, omnivorous animals, many hotels use them to make delicious soup and jerky.
"Shut up, I seem to have heard something?" The thief who had changed from a pathfinder to a broken back suddenly frowned and listened carefully to the subtle movement.
Everyone paused. Since Lago said so, it was obviously not the sound made by Winnie just now. Qin Lun's left eye was shining with light, and the mirror image of the cave hundreds of meters ahead turned into black and white, reflected in his eyes.
"This is..." Qin Lun slightly raised his eyebrows, turned around and said in a low voice, "There are animal bones and remains everywhere in front of us. This seems to be a rather special restaurant. I think we are in trouble!"
"Restaurant? Cave..." Mustasia's expression changed, and she said vigilantly, "Filar, look at the top of the cave, can you find some fist-sized holes?"
Qin Lun's eyes flickered for a while, he lowered his head, and said solemnly: "You are right, there are many holes like you mentioned in many places on it, and there are at least hundreds of them."
