Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 104 The Secret of the Supreme God

"That's pretty much it. I didn't expect that I could find out something like this just by selling something. But although it was an accident, this information is obviously very valuable. Will this person affect our plans tonight?"

Ska explained his experience to Nohill in detail and expressed his concerns. After all, this matter seemed to him quite serious, and it was indeed so.

Since experiencing the fall of Eltoril, he is now 12 points vigilant about anything related to the devil. If Vika's suspicions prove to be true, it means that there is also a devil behind the Iron Guard. The shadow of the devil, and everything related to the devil is without exception a huge conspiracy. Eltoril is the most authentic argument.

After hearing this, Nohill couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was indeed unexpected for Ska to know this in advance, but no matter from which aspect, this is good news.

"Don't worry, Scar. At least for now, this matter will not affect our plans. I have found out our specific target before, and now I have determined that it is Duke Salamara Vansampel."

"There are so many demons hiding in her manor. I am almost certain that she is secretly conveying negative information about Eltoril, so she is still our main target."

"The news you got is indeed an accident, but based on the existing intelligence, I can judge that even if Gotash really colludes with the devil, he should not be involved in the incident related to Eltoril."

"After all, no matter who makes a deal with the devil, his fundamental purpose is to achieve his own goals. As a careerist who is working hard to rise in the bureaucracy of Baldur's Gate, the drastic changes in upper-level power will not bring him any success. What benefit is there, especially when the real mastermind plans to sink Baldur's Gate into hell."

"Gottash is a very smart guy. As a newly powerful person who has risen from the civilian class in a short period of time, he will definitely be able to understand the stakes involved. If he is really involved in this matter, I am afraid that he will not know the truth until he learns the truth. At that moment, he will immediately use the dagger in his hand to stab Duke Vansample hard in the back."

In fact, this possibility is very high. According to Gotash's performance in the game, this guy can even chat and laugh with the protagonist group who has killed two of his powerful allies in succession, and at the same time sincerely propose to work together to rule the world. ambition.

The most outrageous thing is that these are all true. He is really willing to give up half of his rights, as long as he thinks this ally is worthy of him.

For an ambitious man of his level, as long as his allies can bring enough benefits, he can bring more to his allies. But if someone blocks the way, no matter how close the person was to him before, he will not do anything. Kill without hesitation.

It was precisely because of this man's duality and danger that Nohill didn't want to conflict with him at this time, so he had to speak out to stabilize Scar and ask him to stop temporarily and wait for the important things at hand to be done. After finishing, he was thinking about other things, so he continued to talk to Scar.

"This person currently does not have much strength to make profits in this level of gaming, and his Iron Guard has not been completely manufactured, so there is no need to worry for the time being. We will deal with Duke Vansample first, and then we will discuss how to deal with him. , after all, we have a ready-made hell iron sample in our hands, so it is very easy to get hold of him."

Nohir said to him easily.

And the reason why he could be so relaxed was all because of the information brought by Scar.

The sale of the hell chariot meant that they would be able to obtain sufficient funds to prepare for the originally planned trip to hell in a dozen days.

Understanding Gotash's current power means that they will not encounter additional risks in this crisis-ridden city for the time being. The only thing they need to worry about is the Baal Order.

Although Nohir knew the plot two years later, at this time he didn't know exactly how much power Gotash had under his command, and Nohir didn't know what kind of influence he had on Gond believers. To a certain extent, has it reached the level of control that I had when I first played the game?

If Gota Sheng has too deep an influence on those Gond believers, it is very likely to threaten his future plans. His chariot may not be sold, and the consequence of this is that he does not have enough money to Travel to Hell via Devil's Tip.

So before he knew the specific situation, these anxieties had been bothering him.

And now that he learned that the Iron Guards had not been completely manufactured, especially when high-ranking personnel within the Gond believers began to doubt Gotash, he was even more relieved. This meant that he only needed to make a little effort in key places. One push like that and Gotash would be in huge trouble.

After all, this guy really made a deal with the devil, and that's fine in normal times. After all, there are a few clean nobles who don't have many shady secrets behind them, but it doesn't work in this stall. Eltoril has just fallen into Hell, and then the Devil's Follower was discovered in Baldur's Gate. This man was still a newly powerful man. Guess what the people would think?

Therefore, during this period of time, Gotash will definitely stay and reduce his sense of existence. Once the things he has done are discovered, there will be endless consequences. Nohir even doubts that Gotash can still survive after the incident. We can't continue to mess around with Baldur's Gate.

"...You are right. We should focus on the most important things first. However, I still think that the issue about Gotash is of great importance. Maybe I didn't say it in detail before. You don't know about steel. What a powerful construct the Guardian is, but according to Vika, the fifth-generation aircraft they built some time ago has overcome most of the problems and has actual combat capabilities."

"Even I am not confident of dealing with a construct of this level. Although Vika told me before that this thing must be driven by someone before it can be started, once it is related to the devil, it will definitely not be that simple. .”

"Maybe Gotash can bypass this restriction. If this really happens, once the power of the Iron Guard is mastered by an ambitious person, not even the Gond believers can stop him. I'm afraid it will be dangerous by then. His ambition is no longer just Baldur’s Gate, his ambition will drive him to launch more brutal wars.”

Ska frowned and expressed his worries, and Nohir couldn't help but sigh that Ska's guess was really accurate.

Yes, Ska's worries were all true, because what happened next was far more serious than he thought.

In fact, if he doesn't interfere now, it will only take two to three years for the Iron Guards to spread all over Baldur's Gate, and completely become the chosen ones of the God of Tyranny, Gortash's most powerful minions, helping him To maintain his tyrannical rule.

The iron feet of these ruthless machines have crushed countless families and brought countless pain to the city, and even more than that.

-

Through the achievement of Iron Guard, Gortash in the future gained high status, glory, and the most important treasure in Baldur's Gate, the favor of a god.

The god of tyranny chose him as his chosen one, and Bane's gaze made Gotash's ambition expand again. His desire for power drove him to constantly want to ask for more, and with his continuous efforts, This ambition finally bore fruit.

Driven by fate, the three gods of death, who have brought countless disasters to this land since ancient times, have once again formed an alliance in this era. They all unanimously elected their agents in the mortal world, that is, voters, and secretly helping to encourage them to bring a new round of unrest to the world.

Enver Gortash, the chosen one of Bane, the Lord of Darkness and God of Tyranny, with ambition and the help of the gods, he recognized the other two chosen people of the Three Gods of Death and formed an alliance with them. After forming an alliance with them, he did not leave these allies alone. He began to actively integrate the intelligence possessed by all parties, and thought about how to regain the power of the god of tyranny on this continent, that is, how to make the The world is once again in turmoil. After all, only when the world is full of violence and strife can the three gods of death become more powerful.

Enver Gotash did not think for too long. By combining his previous experience and the resources at hand of the two allies, he quickly finalized a simple and crude plan.

That is the [Crown of Karsus], an ancient artifact left behind by the lost Netheril Empire. According to legend, Karsus once almost became a god with this crown, so Gotash concluded that this crown Possessing great power, powerful enough to help him control Baldur's Gate.

And he happened to know the whereabouts of the crown. Under these conditions, he naturally began to seek this artifact.

As for why he knew the whereabouts of this artifact.

-

No matter how terrible a tyrant is, he was once just an innocent child, and the same is true for Gotash.

At that time, Gotash was just a kid who liked tinkering with machines and was a little clever. He ran a leather shoe store in Baldur's Gate with his parents. Although his life was tight, he could barely be considered happy. .

But suddenly, everything changed. The shoe store fell into a debt crisis and was about to close down. In order to keep the store going, Gotash was sold to a warlock by his parents, and this A magician then sold him to his master, the great devil Raphael.

He spent a difficult and difficult time in hell, which changed him forever. He saw a lot and learned a lot in Raphael's palace. Raphael's badness, viciousness and insidiousness made him When he transformed from a child into a demon, he also gained a devil's tongue.

He suffered a lot of pain and torture during that time, but thanks to his clever mind, Gotash did not suffer eternal suffering there like other debtors. He took advantage of the gatekeeper's negligence and He broke into Raphael's portal from hell to the main material plane and escaped from hell.

It was also during the time he was in hell that he learned the clues about the crown of Karsus from Raphael.

-

After finalizing the plan, he immediately began to contact the evil thoughts and asked the evil thoughts to go to hell, to the eighth level of the nine hells, and to steal the Khalsa from the treasure house of the ruler of the eighth hell, the devil king Mephisto. Sri Lanka's crown.

And Xie Nian did not disappoint Gotash. As the true son of the God of Murder, he can be said to be the child with the purest bloodline of the God of Murder in history. Unlike his former brothers and sisters, Xie Nian does not have a trace of mortal blood in his body. , he was transformed from the carrion of Baal and injected with his divine blood, so he was naturally favored by the God of Murder.

He completed the mission perfectly and brought back the Crown of Karthus, but Gotash soon discovered that there was a huge mistake in the magic attached to the crown. The original function of the Crown of Karsus should be to allow the wearer to The person who perfectly controls the consciousness of himself and others is the crown of the true ruler, but now this magic has been reversed, and instead the wearer is controlled.

The three nese gems inlaid on the crown of this artifact have become the only key to remote control it. No matter whoever collects these three gems at the same time, he can use these gems to give orders to the wearer of the crown and completely control his freedom. consciousness.

This discovery made Gotash very upset. The originally powerful crown was now a piece of scrap metal. He thought that all their previous efforts were in vain, but it didn't take long for him to think of a new use for the piece of scrap metal.

Kesric Thomu, the chosen one of Melkor, the Lord of Bones and the God of the Dead, and an ally of Gortash. He discovered an entire tribe of mind flayers under his base camp, the Tower of Moonrise, and also discovered the mastermind. traces.

Originally this incident made Kesrick very upset, but Gotash saw new business opportunities in the crisis. He became obsessed with the powerful race of mind flayers, and began to fantasize about controlling an entire army of mind flayers. What a huge force the Demon Tribe will be!

In fact, for them now, wanting to achieve this is not a foolish dream, because of the unique ethnic characteristics of the mind flayers. The leader of each tribe of mind flayers is a super-large abnormal monster called the mastermind. All mind flayers are under the complete control of the mastermind. This unique characteristic gives this race extremely efficient execution capabilities, but it also gives them a very fatal weakness.

The death of the master brain means the death of the mind flayer tribe. Being controlled by the master brain means that the entire tribe is controlled. Now as long as this crown is worn on the head of the master brain, they can easily control an entire powerful army of mind flayers. !

Although there were various flaws in the later plan, which caused the plan to completely fail, the serious consequences of the plan itself were enough to let the world know the danger of Enver Gotash, the main planner.

In fact, if Orin hadn't stabbed Xie Nian in the back the moment Xie Nian placed the crown on the master brain, pierced his brain with a dagger, snatched the Nesser gem, and allowed the master brain to briefly escape control, the master brain would have It won't completely lose control later.

The master brain is originally a very dangerous and extremely powerful super aberration. Before dying, every mind flayer will dedicate his brain to the master brain, allowing the master brain to devour its memory and increase its knowledge. Therefore, every master brain is A super psychic master with infinite wisdom, especially the mastermind controlled by the crown of Karthus, is extremely dangerous.

The powerful magic power of Karsus' crown caused it to mutate. The magic power that once witnessed Karsus becoming a god briefly transformed it and gave it the foundation to become a god.

And Gotash's plan to spread chaos in Faerûn through the mind flayers, thereby promoting his own status in disguise, also grew up with the mastermind.

The originally joking faith actually nourished it, and the chaotic fanaticism exuded by those brain-controlled believers actually made many ordinary people begin to believe in it. This chaotic faith actually gave it divinity.

So many coincidences made this plan completely rush towards the unknown road, but in fact from the moment Orin stabbed the evil thought in the back, the mastermind had changed from a chess piece to a chess player. It, no, should be him.

From that moment on, He became a false god, a false god named the Supreme God.
