Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 115 Dungeon

Qi Silin moved very quickly. He followed Nohir's instructions and quickly cleaned up the mess. He dragged the body of his kinsman aside and used the hell iron needle that fell on the ground to re-lock the magic door from the Nine Hells. .

Nohill also began to take a good look at the specific situation of this room during this time.

He looked around and saw that this ten-foot-high vaulted room had a plaster ceiling covered with a number of terrifying winged devils. The surrounding walls were hung with murals depicting hell, and the floor was inlaid with There are various bright red symbols on it, all of which are in purgatory language, and their contents roughly mean blood, sacrifice and summons.

In addition, a huge black stone disk was placed in the center of the room. The disk was engraved with a bloody nine-pointed star that covered the entire stone disk. Half-melted red candles surrounded the disk as a light source. There is also an unlit iron candlestick in each of the four corners of the room. The room itself is also very spacious, enough to accommodate at least a hundred people.

Nohill immediately saw a small stone doorframe directly in front of him. This doorframe was facing the incoming magic door. According to the information obtained from Qi Silin's mind, the place directly above the ceremony room should correspond to the dining room of the Duke's Palace.

The winding brick staircase behind the door frame should be the secret door hidden in the Duke's Palace dining room, and this small passage should be specially used to facilitate the Duke's inspection. Nohir asked Qi Silin to stay here. The main thing is to guard this door to prevent anything from coming down.

Well, the door leading to the Duke's Palace is clearly visible, but what about the secret temple on the left that Qislin mentioned before? Where is its entrance?

After roughly scanning the specific structure of the house, Nohill walked to the left. On the wall on the left was a huge mural, which showed a man being skinned alive in hell, and then The man caught on the hook, the man's pain and despair are vividly portrayed.

Nohir walked under the wall, and then looked around carefully along the wall. At the same time, he asked Qi Silin in his mind some specific information about the dungeon, and Qi Silin also told him everything he knew. Speak up.

Among the information is the method to open the secret passage, but there is also some interesting information besides.

For example, the location of the treasure house of Duke Vansample's Mansion. The treasure house that stores all the wealth of the entire Duke family of Vansample is on the left side of the Secret Temple.

There is also a special dungeon behind the dormitory, which contains several enemies of Duke Vansample. However, Chislin is not responsible for that area, so he does not know who those people are and where they are. was imprisoned at that time.

"It's interesting. There are other people here besides us, but they are all tied here. I'm afraid those people are not far from death. After the operation is over, we can go and see if there is anyone else who can be saved."

Scar pulled off one of the murals, used it to wipe his blood-stained war hammer, and then said the same thing in his consciousness.

"Perhaps there are still soldiers who have not lost their combat effectiveness among those people. We can take advantage of this time to go there and have a look. It would be great if someone can help in the next operation, isn't it?"

Nohir seemed a little moved when he heard this, but soon he retorted to Scar in his mind.

"I'm afraid not. It's too risky to go back now. There will definitely be guards there. If we go there, we will definitely fight with them. If we can't get rid of those guards in a short time, we will be surrounded by enemies."

"And even if everything goes well, we don't know if there is anyone who can help. Even if there are really powerful warriors, it is still unknown whether such people who join in the middle can be trusted. Compared with helping, there is a bigger problem It might be a drag instead.”

"Let's wait until everything settles. And aren't you looking forward to killing Tavis? Why are you so cautious now? Do you think we can't deal with him alone?"

Nohir suddenly reacted and continued to ask in his mind.

"By the way, you used to be a Hell Knight. How well do you know Tavis Craig?" Scar was silent for a while, and then said.

"...I don't know, in the former city...Tavis, Tavis Craig was once a devout priest who believed in Tom, the god of protection. He even took the lead in revising the Creed of Fortitude..."

"You should also know that, Nohir. It is the oath of defense that all devout residents of Eltoril know. Everyone swears to protect the Holy City in the name of the tenacious creed, but now..., its revision But he has fallen."

"I don't know why the once devout priest of the Guardian God became like this, but his current behavior has undoubtedly betrayed Tom's teachings. His fall must have been premeditated, but I don't know how he did it. Pretending to be a devout believer in front of other believers without being discovered.”

"The only thing I can be sure of is that the gods have definitely abandoned him. It is absolutely impossible for him to use any magic from Tom anymore, but who knows what kind of power he gained after committing such evil deeds. strength."

Creed of perseverance? This Nohir did know that when he first came to Eltoril, he was preached by the guards guarding the city about this creed. It is said that all residents of Eltoril will establish this creed as soon as they can read and write. The main content of this oath and creed is to be full of love and tolerance for this city, and to do our best to protect this beautiful holy city.

That's pretty much what it means. He actually doesn't know the details, because at that time, Nohill came here just to cater to the pre-travel setting. At that time, he had no intention of settling here for a long time, so he didn't He made the same oath as the other people who wanted to settle here, and the others didn't say much, so the matter just ended.

So what surprised Nohill even more was the latter point. Faith can actually be disguised? Wouldn't the gods notice?

Nohir was lost in thought, but he soon figured it out.

He may think too highly of the gods. After all, as long as you are not a particularly devout priest, the gods don't really talk much except for giving magic. Sometimes, the gods do affect the world, but most of the time, the gods All quiet and silent.

Although they are powerful, they all abide by a default rule, that is, they will not affect the world too much. Because of their disregard for the world, even before the Year of Turmoil, many people in the world did not believe in the existence of gods. Mages even believed that divine magic was just a strange arcane magic, and they despised the existence of gods. This also led to the emergence of the Nethalel Empire.

And this can also explain why Tavis has rarely appeared in front of the world in these years. With the disappearance of his faith, the connection between him and Thom must have been disconnected long ago, and he may have long lost the ability to use magic. Ability, but because he did not have a firm belief, the gods did not pursue this little transparency at all, and in this way, he did not have to worry about the gods' accountability, so he only had to continue to deceive the world.

Now Tavis has definitely become a warlock, and how much power he has now depends on how much Zarrell loves his hero.

Nohir felt that he would not be too weak, because this guy had just sacrificed an entire city to Zariel some time ago, and he might get great favor from Zariel for this. At least according to the information he checked, Tower As a result, Vistus became a devil and was directly promoted to an Anzu by Zariel. That kind of devil is already in the upper class of hell and belongs to the class that rules other devils.

but……

Nohir's Crown of Control did not sense Tavis' thoughts at all. In fact, he only sensed the five devils including Qi Silin in this area, which meant that there was a slight error in the intelligence.

This will happen, either because Tavis has some kind of magic item that blocks the perception of Nohir Crown, or else he has not completely turned into a devil at all, and the control crown naturally responds to the devil's detection thinking. To him who is not the devil.

The former is not a big deal. As long as Tavis is still a devil, Nohir can completely control him with the Seven-ring Demonic Complete Control Technique the moment they meet, even if he wears protective magic items, it will be useless, because Seventh-level spells are enough to break through the spell resistance of most magic items, but the latter will make the Crown of Dominance completely useless to Tavis Craig.
