Chapter 51 The Chosen of Serene, Stolen by Shar
Ronan also knew about the House of Sorrow.
If the world were to develop as he had known in his previous life, then beneath the House of Sorrow would lie the monastery of the Night Lady, Shar.
Seras said, "In my dream, Our Lady of the Silver told me that my father was still alive, struggling to survive in the Underdark."
"If I train well, I will be able to find my father."
"At the same time, the Silver Mother wants me to do something: to enter the House of Sorrow again, befriend Viconia, and take the opportunity to find out news about a girl."
"This girl is named Jenny Vera Sainte. The Silver Mother said that the evil god took advantage of Jenny Vera's coming-of-age ceremony, stole her away, and tried to train her to be the judge of the night."
"Now, the girl can no longer remember anything from before she came of age. She only knows that her name is 'Shadowheart' and that she is a devout follower of Shar."
"The Silver Mother has issued a divine decree that as long as I find Lady Saint Ye, I can tell her about her lost memories."
"Once she regains her memories, she will naturally choose the right side."
Ronan listened to what Seras said and took a sip of mead.
In one of the Baldur's Gate versions of the story he knew, Shadowheart was a powerful Shar priest who might become an ally of the Sons of Baal in the future.
Then came the battle between Serene, Sal, and fate.
If things go as Serene wishes, Shadowheart will naturally return to the side of good and become Serene's chosen one.
If things go as Shar wishes, Shadowheart will become a powerful judge of the night, completely corrupted and chosen by Shar.
"Good luck, but don't get yourself into a crisis you can't handle," Ronan said.
That was all he could say. Although Seras was his friend, there was nothing he could do to help her with this.
With divine intervention and the unpredictability of fate, he, a mere level 6 professional, not only cannot make any waves, but is also very likely to be submerged by the small waves stirred up by the gods.
"Thank you for your blessing," Seras said, knowing the situation was dangerous and not expecting anyone to help her.
Afterwards, the two began to eat their own meals.
During their conversation, the two discussed professional training. When Seras asked why Ronan was progressing so quickly, Ronan replied that he had awakened his bloodline.
Seras nodded in agreement; this was perfectly reasonable in Forgotten Realms.
After all, there are many dragons on the continent of Faerûn, and dragons are inherently lustful. They like to take human form and have relations with women in human cities. Over the generations, their bloodline has been diluted, resulting in many people with diluted dragon blood.
It is said that every warlock in Faerûn has a dragon ancestor.
Because dragons are born with magic and can manipulate magical energy without relying on magic networks, a characteristic that warlocks are very similar to.
Ronan had always thought he was an exception, but he never expected that the dragon blood in his body was so strong.
If it weren't for his equally mysterious Karatu bloodline suppressing his dragon bloodline, he would practically be a pure-blooded dragon now.
With this in mind, Ronan wondered if he could activate part of the dragon bloodline.
This will enhance his physical fitness and allow him to master the unique ability of the White Dragon's Frost Breath, which complements his [Flame Breath] technique.
After finishing their dinner, the two left the Elf Song Tavern together.
It was nighttime, and a thick fog drifted in from the sea, shrouding the streets of Baldur's Gate.
The kerosene lamps by the roadside stood in the fog, emitting a dim, yellowish light.
The streets were almost deserted.
Because everyone knows that Baldur's Gate is dangerous at night.
Nighttime is also when the Flame Fist Mercenary Group relaxes its vigilance.
Meanwhile, the restless elements of Baldur's Gate would take advantage of the cover of night to do shady things.
After saying goodbye to Seras at the tavern entrance, Ronan headed home.
He walked through the thick fog; the streets were deserted.
Every household had drawn their curtains, with only a faint light seeping out from the gaps between them.
But the lights were useless when blocked by the thick fog.
brush……
Ronan suddenly heard the sound of leather boots scraping against the stone slabs behind him.
Now, his hearing is quite good; he can hear distant and subtle sounds.
Currently, his "cuteness" does not pose any threat to him.
Then, he took out a twenty-sided die from his clothes.
He used the [Shooting the Hidden Dice] technique and blew on the twenty-sided dice.
Then, he tossed it upwards, grabbed it, and caught it.
Turn your hand upside down and open it; you will see the number "ten".
According to his preconceived notions, numbers one to six are considered "auspicious," seven to thirteen are considered "neither auspicious nor inauspicious," and fourteen to twenty are considered "inauspicious."
The number "ten" is considered "neither auspicious nor inauspicious".
Ronan put the twenty dice back into his clothes, turned around, and walked toward the direction from which the sound came.
Passing through the thick fog, we came upon a tall, handsome elf.
However, under Ronan's gaze, the half-elf's profile was revealed, exposing his true identity to Ronan.

"So he was a follower of Baal."
Still a Level 2 Wanderer.
The Wanderer is the initial class for Assassins. Once you reach Wanderer level 3, you can choose one of four subclasses: Trickster, Assassin, Soulblade, or Thief.
A wanderer with a sub-class title means that he has already learned many powerful skills of the sub-class through training.
This shapeshifter, who hadn't even reached the level of choosing a sub-class, dared to go out and kill people in the streets.
Ronan thought to himself that Baal's lack of discernment in his followers greatly diminished His prestige, which explained why this deity had always been considered unremarkable.
Although He is ranked alongside Melkor and Bane as one of the three gods of death, in reality, He is always the younger brother among the three gods of death.
It is said that even at his peak, Baal possessed only moderate divine power.
During the turbulent years, Melkor created an army of the undead, and Bane plotted tyranny.
Baal, however, chose to mate wildly with different races, preparing for his eventual demise.
His actions even diminished the prestige of Melkor and Bane.
"Sir, why are you following me?" Ronan asked.
The shapeshifter, oblivious to the change in atmosphere, continued its act: "Hello, this is my first time at Baldur's Gate, and I'm a little disoriented. The map I bought is soaked with alcohol and hard to read. Could you please help me find my way?"
As he spoke, he put his hands inside his clothes and walked toward Ronan.
