Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 123 Negotiation

The panel is as powerful as ever. Just a light touch can completely remove all the layers of the shield. Both the process of Gargas being sealed and the method of unsealing are listed in great detail on the panel.

Nohill knew all his details in an instant, but this still couldn't hide the shock in Nohill's heart, because there was actually a Hell Fiend sealed in this shield! And he still gained the divinity of the Hell Fiend!

In the harsh promotion sequence of devils, pit fiends are at the top of what regular devils can advance to. This characteristic determines their power and also determines their rarity.

In the vast territory of the Nine Hells, the total number of such powerful devils will never exceed 100, and they are either lords of one party, who have their own floating fortresses and rule their own fallen kingdoms arbitrarily, or they are bloody generals. , commanding the boundless army, driving the boundless demonic tide back into the abyss at the forefront of the bloody battle.

The power and power of this kind of devil in hell has almost reached its peak, and the most famous hell fiend is the lord of the first level of the original nine hells, Grand Duke Bayer of Avernus and his subordinates. The Eight Demon Generals of Purgatory. If this metaphor is not intuitive enough, then you can also refer to the players’ old friend Raphael in Baldur’s Gate 3. His body is a Hell Demon.

Originally, the Hell Fiend was already troublesome enough, but what was even more terrible was that this sealed Pit Fiend actually gained a certain degree of divinity! Being able to obtain divinity means that he is a demigod!

Demi god! Nohir didn't know how strong the concept of demigods was in reality, but the final boss he faced when playing Baldur's Gate 3, the mastermind wearing the crown of Karthus, was a demigod, and the consequences it caused The disaster affected almost the entire Northland.

Being able to cause such great harm is certainly unique to the species Mastermind, but its demigod strength is also obvious to all. And now, an unknown demigod is being held in the hands of Nohir.

Although according to the description on the panel, this shield can do nothing if it is not held by its owner, and as long as it is not in contact with him for a long time, it will not affect its nature. Even if it is affected, it can be dispelled by the priest using divine magic. A total of eight powerful seals were applied to the shield itself.

Logically speaking, it is indeed very safe, but this still cannot change the powerful nature of the thing in his hand, not to mention that this thing is intelligent, and its original wisdom still exists, so what good ideas can you expect from a devil? Woolen cloth?

Nohir held the shield and fell into silence, but he still didn't show any flaws. He just stiffened for a moment when he touched it, and then he immediately turned around and hung it on a specially set aside rack on the wall. He began to think quickly about how he could best use this shield.

"Well, this perspective is much better. At least I no longer have to face the ground or look up at you. That's good. I believe that only in this way can we have a basis for equal dialogue."

The Hidden Lord continued to speak to Nohir in a female voice, and at this moment Nohir suddenly realized the cunningness of this guy.

According to the records in the Monster Manual, all pit fiends should be genderless. This guy deliberately spoke in a female voice. Did he want to paralyze me with the drama of the angel princess in distress?

Realizing this, Nohir suddenly felt a chill. This feeling was like when he played Baldur's Gate 3, he clearly thought that the female guardian he pinched with his own hands was a girlfriend who could be captured, but in the end he discovered that he It's like a perverted tentacle monster dressed as a woman!

Damn it, why do you guys like to play this game? Can the world still be sincere?

And just when Nohir was caught up in the unpleasant memories of the past, the Hidden Lord spoke again.

"How about it? You have touched me just now, and your current reaction is enough to prove that you have not been affected by any bad effects. Do you still think that I am a threat?"

threaten? You are not only a fucking threat, you are simply poisonous. Whether it is physically or mentally, you are exuding poison!

Nohir was complaining crazily in his mind, but his expression remained unchanged, and he continued to speak to the shield in front of him in a calm and calm tone.

"It seems like this for now, but the trust between us is still as insignificant as a straw. Although what you say is very convincing, if you expect us to obey you with just a few words, then you It was a really wrong calculation." Nohir had already thought of the next words when he said this. If he wants to make the best use of this shield, the first thing he should do is to never let Gargoth become conscious. Until I have seen through his true identity.

Only by making him feel that he is still full of mystery and unknown, and that his deception is still effective and exists, will he relax his vigilance on himself, and will he feel that the situation is still under his control, but the fact is exactly the opposite.

But at the same time, Nohir couldn't act too heartless, otherwise Gargas might have some little thoughts that he shouldn't have.

After all, if the holder host he is facing is a fool, then Jagas will definitely not have the patience to act. He will definitely change to a host that is smarter and more likely to achieve his purpose in a hurry. At that time, this A seemingly harmless shield can become quite dangerous.

"Indeed, but at least this is a good start. The trust between us can start to be cultivated at this moment. Oh, you know, mortal, I am starting to like you a little now. Although you seem a little too cautious, caution is A good thing is a virtue.”

"Those who are careless often fail to achieve great things. No matter what lofty dreams they have, they will be knocked down by unexpected traps when they take action and then buried in a foreign land. But you, I can see that you can achieve great things. People, the fact that you’re here in such a short period of time proves that.”

"But you are only a mortal after all. There are still many things you can't accomplish by yourself... But it's different with me. If you add me to my help, things that were originally impossible will become as possible."

"And the place you are staying in is not safe. Every second you stay, the threat becomes more severe. Based on your previous conversations, I have roughly guessed the purpose of your coming here, so now let's stop talking nonsense and listen. Listen to the help I can bring to you, maybe after hearing this, your extra vigilance can really be used where it should be used."

Nohill put on a slightly interested expression.

"I'm all ears."

The Hidden Lord chuckled twice.

"Haha, well, very good, but in order to make our conversation faster and to get us out of this dangerous situation as soon as possible, you definitely don't mind if I use telepathy to transmit this information directly into your mind, right?"

Nohir's face immediately sank when he heard this. He knew that Gargas was testing his bottom line, and he could never give in at this time.

"You can try, but don't say whether you can succeed. If you dare to do that, I will immediately throw you into the pit of the sewer. Believe me, deep in the sewer, this kind of place is not difficult. Found it."
