Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 111 Unidentified Object

Very good, although there was a little accident, as long as the main target is still there, everything will be fine.

But...sacrifice?

"Sacrifice? Why sacrifice? Who asked you to do this?"

Nohir asked a question in his mind, and Qi Silin immediately responded in his mind.

"Duke Vansample, Lord Zariel asked us to obey her orders. She only asked for blood, without stating the purpose."

Didn't you say the purpose?

Nohir couldn't help but fell into deep thought. He needed the devil's blood for sacrifice, but he didn't let the devil know why. This was not a good sign.

Devils are shrewd guys. Generally speaking, unless they have absolute control, don't let the devil take the initiative to do something that harms you, let alone sacrifice. If you don't have enough control, you can force the devil to do this. If anything happens, these devils will definitely stab that person in the back whenever they get the chance.

Zarrell has given complete control over these demons to Duke Vansample. Although it is only a verbal transfer of power, these demons obviously do not have the courage to disobey Zarrell's orders.

It seems that VanSample is quite trusted by Zarrell, but what exactly does the Duke want the devil's blood for?

Nohill frowned and thought for a while, but found that there were no clues at all. He could only confirm that this was definitely not a good thing. However, there was too little information at present, and it was useless to continue to dwell on this issue, so Nohill began to continue asking the devil other questions.

"What have you been doing recently? How many people and demons are there in this dungeon? How many passages can there be to get to or from here? Where is Tavis Craig specifically?"

Qi Silin was stunned for a while again before answering these questions one after another.

"...Sixteen days ago, the Duke secretly summoned all the devil believers that had developed. Fourteen days ago, the Duke's two sons brought many little devils and some believers with another devil cult hidden in Baldur's Gate. There was a conflict, and all the little devils and believers involved in that operation were killed in the process. Her son seemed to have brought something back, but no one knew what it was except the Duke himself."

"There are currently a total of 36 people and 5 devils in this dungeon. These people are all elite warriors. They are attracted by Lord Zariel's fighting creed. They are loyal believers and they are all loyal to Fansa designated by Lord Zariel. Duke Mpur, apart from me, among the five demons, there is also a hedgehog demon, two bearded demons, and a thorn demon."

"There are four passages, one is in the dining room of the Duke's Palace, covered with a mechanism, one is in the stables, which is the most inconspicuous, and can be used for secret escape in the event of an accident, and one is in the sewer, covered with illusions, which used to be used by believers for daily communication, but is now blocked by huge rocks. There is also a teleportation array, one-way teleportation, to summon devils from hell."

"If you want to find Tavis, you need to go to the end of the passage on the left first, then turn right into the restaurant, and then pass through the wine cellar, kitchen, storage room, and vestry room from the restaurant. Come out of the vestry room and leave the room. Enter the passage, then go right to the Ritual Room, and enter the Secret Temple from the left side of the Ritual Room. In the right room of the Secret Temple, Tavis Craig is there."

…Damn, that’s a lot of information, but it’s all useful.

Nohill's brain was running rapidly, and past information and present information were integrated with each other. The truth revealed in various details made it difficult for him to make a rough guess. Now he can roughly guess what all this is about. Something happened.

"The blabbering chanters in the right passage are probably the devil believers Qi Silin mentioned. They were all summoned here sixteen days ago and participated in an operation in another unknown devil sect. I grabbed something in my hand, and this thing is probably the reason why Chislin and the other two devils held a blood sacrifice."

"There are two possibilities for the road to be blocked. One is to prevent the Devil's Order from coming to take the things back, and the other is to prevent the Barr assassins who may retaliate."

"There is no doubt that Vansample deceived the assassins, and she used their murderous craze to stir up trouble in Baldur's Gate, but such wild and indulgent behavior also triggered a full-scale counterattack by the Flame Fist. The assassins suffered heavy casualties as a result, and it is very likely that when they realized that Duke Vansample was using them, they would launch revenge against the Duke."

When Nohir thought of this, he suddenly couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, but it seems that those idiots haven't realized that they have been tricked yet, but this is normal. It is difficult for these madmen who have no other information in their minds except murder to realize that they are part of this conspiracy. What position does it play?"

"This half-year-long murder spree has completely paralyzed their nerves. Even Xie Nian, who barely has any brains among a group of lunatics, can hardly wake up from this spree. It is better to say that he is enjoying it. According to the current situation This can be judged by the situation.”

"After all, if they had really realized that they were being used, then the streets of Baldur's Gate would have started circulating crazily about the cooperation between Duke Fansample and the Baal Assassins. And because of historical reasons, in the streets of Baldur's Gate, The relationship between Baldur's Gate and the Baal Order is a very serious crime even for the Duke. Once discovered, the lightest punishment she will face is the exile of the whole family. This is because she is the Duke. Otherwise, it is more likely to be executed directly.”

"The punishment can be said to be very severe, but this is also the strangest thing to me before. Why did Van Sample suddenly do such a terrible thing? You must know that although those idiots have not yet reacted and were tricked, it was because of the teachings The group was not hit hard enough, and no important figures were arrested to avoid alerting the higher-ups, but too many assassins at the bottom died."

"So far, hundreds of assassins have been hanged on the gallows next to the Basilisk Gate. Even for the Baal Order, which does not take human life as a priority, this is still a major blow. Now they may be killed at any time. Realize what's going on and take revenge on the Duke."

"How dare she take such a big risk when the Baal Order has a lot of dirty information? Unless..."

A terrible guess popped up in his mind. Duke Vansample might have started planning the current situation as early as half a year ago. She might have figured out how to make Baldur's Gate disappear in a short period of time. A way into Eltoril's destiny, and combined with her relationship with Tavis Craig, the possibility is really high!

At present, the thing that is most likely to do this is the unknown object they brought back more than ten days ago, and the unknown object was snatched from another unknown devil cult, which means that thing It is also something belonging to the devil, just in case the nature of the unknown object is similar to the companion sun over Eltoril...

"That's so fucking bad."

Nohill held his head with a headache. Although this is currently unknown and uncertain, if it is confirmed, Duke Vansample will have the confidence and strength to overturn the table, and the situation will become more dangerous. and danger, and now he must find out the truth in this increasingly confusing situation.

"What exactly is that unknown object? If that thing really has the ability to make Baldur's Gate fall to hell, why didn't VanSample use it earlier?"

"Wait a minute, wasn't she trying to use the devil's blood to make sacrifices before? In other words, she is also probably exploring how to use that thing. Yes, the situation is not tense yet. I still have time. To find out the truth, we must speed up now.”

Nohir shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, re-firmed his belief, and then used his mind to command the devil in front of him.

"Next, I need you to lead the way. First, take me to another of your fellow hedgehogs, and then help me go through the rooms mentioned before to find Tavis Craig."

"By the way, you seemed to have mentioned the vestment room before, which means that the cult you created has uniform clothing, right? Can your clothing cover your face?"

"Yes, it's OK."

"very good."
