"This is... Baldur's Gate? This time I actually teleported so far from the southern border of Tethyr..."
Standing in an unknown dark alley of the city pier, the boy whose clothes were stained black and red by his own blood stared dumbly at the boats docked on the plank road.
Obviously, he did not know the exact location when he was caught because he was in the wild.
Later, Sarevok's men secretly transported him to an abandoned temple deep underground. Because he had a black bag on his head, it was not clear where he passed along the way.
The only thing he knows is that the people arrested with him all have a common identity, that is, they are the descendants of Baal, the god of murder.
Yes!
Sarevok sacrificed not ordinary people, but his half-brothers and sisters.
Some of them were prisoners bought from other places at high prices, while others knew the identity of the other party and then sent their men to kidnap them.
Because Baal foresaw his own death, he created thousands of descendants with weak divinity and divine power in Faerûn, a number too large to be counted.
Races cover most of the humanoid creatures and 70% of the monster illustrations.
Especially in areas where his church and believers are most concentrated, there may be hundreds of Sons of Baal in one city and its surrounding areas.
This density and wide distribution caused that after the Year of Turbulence, even though some Baal believers killed and sacrificed a large number of sons of gods, the remaining number was still enough to set off a bloody storm.
As Cyric fell into complete madness, the divinity and power that had been dormant in the sons of Baal were activated one after another.
At the beginning, they just started to have all kinds of strange dreams uncontrollably, and then when they woke up from the dream, they would gain some spell-like abilities.
For example, priests and druids often use it to treat minor injuries;
Another example is the vampire touch that can absorb the life force of others to restore one's own injuries;
Or you can summon divine energy to temporarily increase your strength, agility and physical attributes.
In short, when these abilities appear, the sons of Baal are no longer ordinary people.
They will want to use these powers for their own benefit, and at the same time they will have strong bloodthirsty tendencies and killing impulses, and will get an indescribable excitement and pleasure from them.
The more you kill, the more painful the death you inflict, the stronger the Sons of Baal will become.
When they start to kill each other, divinity and divine power will begin to boil, and then continue to concentrate in the bodies of the surviving sons of God, eventually completing a leap from quantitative change to qualitative change, igniting the spark of divinity and becoming the new god of murder.
.
This is why the wise Alando mentioned in his prophecy that the descendants of the god of murder will cause war, killing and turmoil.
However, because of things like divine power and divinity, their essence is the power formed by the projection of the spirit and belief in the material world to the outer plane.
Therefore, although Baal's death and killing priesthood will have a huge impact, it is not static.
This can be glimpsed from the various abilities acquired by the Sons of Baal after their awakening.
Among them, warriors like Sarevok and Aberdare, who are big and round, and often draw their swords to kill people when they disagree, are naturally more inclined to heal, suck blood, and even transform into killers.
As for the sons of Baal who have become wizards and warlocks, their abilities are mostly spells related to killing and death.
All in all, divinity is the essence of the Son of God, and various spell-like abilities are manifestations of divine power.
Since everyone's soul, thinking, personality and cognition are different, there are no two sons of Baal with exactly the same abilities in the world.
The human boy who looks to be only six or seven years old at the moment is the most special type among them. He is also the son of Baal who has the two talents of escape and survival.
Because he did not desire to kill, but simply wanted to survive the fight between brothers and sisters, the first ability he developed was super long-distance random magic teleportation.
Whenever he encounters danger, the young son of Baal will activate a quick-cast spell to escape from enemies who are chasing him or wanting to kill him. He can use it once a day.
Suspended death and self-healing are the second abilities acquired after being tortured, abused and brutally sacrificed after being captured.
As you can tell from the name, this ability can cause a boy to fall into a state of complete cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, and rapid body hypothermia after being fatally injured. From a biological point of view, it is no different from real death.
This state can last for at least a few hours.
When the enemy leaves, he will quickly recover, then reinstall the dug-out organs, severed heads, and limbs, and return to his original state within the next few minutes.
Because he was forced to participate as a sacrifice in several sacrificial rituals held by Baal believers or other powerful sons of Baal, he also absorbed a lot of divine power and divinity, so his mental growth was older than his appearance, and he also
More rebellious.
The behavior of giving the middle finger and peeing in the abandoned temple was an external manifestation.
There is no doubt that the boy hates his father, Baal, the god of murder, and even more hates those fanatical believers who want to kill him, as well as his brothers and sisters who are also the sons of Baal.
After all, in less than a few months, he had carried out at least a dozen random teleportations across most of Faerûn, and had been killed more than once by beheading, gutting, and disembowelment.<
/p>
Even the family that adopted the boy immediately abandoned him without mercy after learning that he was the son of Baal.
The sudden and drastic changes made this little guy become a little extreme, extreme, sinister and cynical.
In order to survive, he became more and more unscrupulous, even disregarding life.
"Damn it! It seems that I have to change into clean clothes first, and then steal something and sell it for money." The boy squinted his eyes and muttered to himself.

No hesitation!
He quickly locked onto two guys who were sneaky like thieves, pulled out a ritual dagger he had taken in the temple, and followed them into a private house.
When they came out about three to five minutes later, the young son of Baal, who was almost as tall as a dwarf, came out carrying a bloody dagger.
Not only did I put on a set of clean clothes, but I also had a shriveled money bag in my hand.
There is no doubt that he personally killed the two members of the Shadow Thieves Guild in Baldur's Gate.
Even though this guy only pretended to be dead in front of Sarevok, he was still essentially a son of Baal, and he was still a son of Baal who had awakened to divine power and divinity.
Coupled with the natural deception of children, many people are often killed by their sneak attacks inadvertently.
Taking the money found from the two thieves, the boy first went to eat something to fill his stomach, and then used all the remaining money to buy the best silk clothes and shoes and socks, dressing himself up as a rich man
With the appearance of a young master, he went straight to the only shop that sells magic items in Baldur's Gate - the Wizarding Grocery Store.
Obviously, he plans to do something big.
Compared with ordinary goods that are not high in value and are extremely heavy, magic items are definitely good things that are easy to carry and easy to cash out.
Even with the small stature of a six- or seven-year-old boy, he can easily carry a few items for a run.
The only problem now is how to deceive the shopkeepers here and the numerous anti-theft magic alarms.
"Welcome! If you need help or consultation, you can come to me at any time."
As soon as they crossed the threshold, a young female apprentice wearing a blue robe standing in front of the counter took the initiative to say hello with a smile.
It is easy to see from her cordial attitude and skillful greetings that she has definitely undergone very professional training.
To be precise, ever since the boss here, who is also the archmage with the highest level of spellcasting in the area around Baldur's Gate, Habatha Dellin, took over the concessions left by the red-robed wizards in many cities, he began to deal with the things at hand.
Resources and markets are integrated.
In just a few years, it has successfully taken advantage of the large number of high-level spellcasters and lichs within the organization to form a monopoly in many areas.
Whether they are adventurers, mercenaries or local nobles, wealthy businessmen and the government, generally speaking, for their own safety and to ensure that they do not buy anything with a curse, they will look for the sign of the witchcraft grocery store and choose to shop here.
Because in the witchcraft grocery store, every bottle of potion and every piece of equipment is clearly marked with a price, and all uses and precautions are stated, and the harm will never be deliberately concealed.
We also promise that if there are any quality problems, we will give the buyer at least double compensation.
This is obviously good news for those who don’t know much about magic but want to enjoy the benefits and conveniences brought by magic.
What's more, magic items are so expensive that even for many wealthy people they are outright luxuries, and they must be carefully considered before making a choice.
At this time, the advantages of credibility, guarantee and after-sales service are reflected.
It's like buying daily necessities that are generally relatively cheap. Most people don't care about their brands and sales platforms.
But if you want to buy products that cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions, you will always look for the same brand and a sales platform with relatively complete after-sales guarantee, even if you have to spend a little more money.
Habaser Delin captured the psychology of consumers who buy magic items and created the first chain magic store covering a huge area in Faerûn.
He holds the market tightly with one hand, and the channel with the other.
Other arcane spellcasters who want to make money by making and selling magic items often need to join them and accept a commission of about ten to fifteen percent in order to sell their items quickly, or buy them here.
Rare materials, advanced scrolls and magic items.
Under this combination of powerful forces, capital operations, and huge amounts of magic resources, traditional "small workshops" based on individuals or mage towers simply cannot compete with them.
