Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 138 Clarity

Nohir first greeted Qislin and asked him to follow him to find Scar, while he continued to think about this issue.

"...There is currently an idea that it is the Devil's Gem created by the Crown."

According to the Monster Manual, there are only two ways for most lower-level devils to advance. The quickest way is to make huge contributions so that the superiors can take the initiative to spend their strength to promote them, so as to achieve a jump in class and form.

Those who are slower can only rely on themselves to gradually accumulate military exploits on the bloody battlefield, exchange their military exploits for the soul coins of fallen intelligent creatures, and use the evil souls in these soul coins to promote their own advancement.

"However, unlike ordinary devils, the devil transformed by the Crown of Control has no possibility of continuing to advance to the next form."

"Although there will be no flaws when in the transformed form, and they are real devils from any angle, their essence has been fixed by the soul gem, and they were created as little devil stones. Then It can only become a little devil, and the Beard Demon Stone can only transform into a Beard Demon. This is determined by rigid conditions, so it absolutely cannot be changed."

"But that doesn't mean there's no possibility of enhancing a single form."

I said before that the promotion of devils relies on the energy of the soul, and the soul gems created by the Crown of Dominance are more advanced than simple soul coins. Maybe this high-purity soul crystal can strengthen the power of devils. Ability.

After all, the panel also said that this gem has many additional functions. If this thing really has this effect, then Nohir may be able to use this function to create some monster-level evil incarnations!

In fact, the possibility of this guess is not low. After all, this promotion method is consistent with the devil... In fact, it is consistent with the promotion characteristics of all lower plane creatures, so the credibility of this guess is very high, but no matter what it may sound like How wonderful, this interesting idea is just a guess at the moment.

If you want to verify the authenticity of this idea, you must put it into practice, and if you want to really put it into practice, you have to wait until at least tomorrow, until the cooling time of the nine-ring spell on the crown has passed.

Thinking of this, Nohir suddenly glanced at Qi Silin who was walking behind him. The combat effectiveness of this hedgehog demon was not very high, and its abilities were mediocre. Once he left here, he would not be able to provide any other help before going to hell. , and even have to find ways to hide him. Hiding a devil in this turbulent moment requires an unknown amount of extra energy, so to sum up.

"Well, tough luck with you, man."

Nohill silently sentenced him to death in his heart. Firstly, this kind of devil is really useless to Nohill. Secondly, he is the only middle-level devil currently directly controlled by Nohill. There is no one more powerful than him. suitable experimental target.

With this thought in mind, Nohir continued to where Scar was.

-

While Nohill continued to search for various items on the second floor, Ska also turned Tavis, who had been controlled, over and placed him in the center of the room, while he himself sat directly opposite him. On the simple bed, he placed the shield beside him and looked at Tavis, whose injury had stabilized, in a very quiet manner. His expression was very peaceful, but his eyes were empty and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Gargas is very curious about this, but it is not easy to peer into the mind of a paladin, especially for him now. Under normal circumstances, he cannot do it.

But this time, Ska's mental fluctuations were too violent. On the surface, he was calm, but in fact, there was a turbulent undercurrent. Although he still couldn't hear it clearly because of being sealed and the paladin protecting himself from evil, it was just like this. It was enough to make Gargas have some twisted thoughts.

"Ah, these complicated feelings, admiration, hatred and confusion are intertwined. I am relieved but at the same time it is like a heavy burden pressing on me. The anger of revenge is burning in my heart, but I force myself to suppress it for some unknown reason. It's What makes a paladin so confused?"

He quickly captured the reason. Gargas discerned precious information from Scar's complicated thoughts and understood why he was so entangled. In the eyes of Gargas, who knew the specific answer, Scar's This struggle, entanglement and resistance made his soul more delicious.

Yes, for the devils, the soul of every paladin is a good treasure. The stronger the paladin is, the more he has experienced and the more firm his faith is, the more his soul will be cherished in hell.

If a soul of this level is corrupted, it will be the most sumptuous meal for any devil, because this meal is not only delicious, but also means power. If a little devil gets a paladin of this level The soul can even be directly promoted from the lowest level to a high-level devil in a very short period of time. Even for the current Gargas, this is a rich and delicious meal. No, it cannot even be said to be delicious, but cherished. Eating Scar's soul will definitely allow him to recover quickly after breaking away from the seal of the shield. Original strength.

But he also knows that corrupting a powerful paladin is definitely a long-term slow job, but it doesn't matter, he is willing to take his time from now on.

So Gargas stopped thinking about it. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he silently considered a few words in his mind, and then suddenly spoke.

"You are from Eltoril, don't you hate him? Now the mastermind behind all this is lying in front of you, why don't you end him? Is this worthy of your status as a paladin?"

"..."

silence? This was not what he expected.

According to his original estimation, this paladin should at least vigorously defend his behavior, but there was such a strange silence.

No, he must be provoked.

"Why don't you talk? To be honest, I feel like you two are hiding something from me."

"The devil that inexplicably obeyed your orders previously surprised me, but now your behavior surprises me even more."

"As a vengeful paladin who hates evil, you can actually let him continue to live? Have you eaten your creed of revenge?"

"Shut up, Hidden Lord, you don't understand anything."

Scar finally spoke to argue with him, but his eyes never left Tavis, and his words were even more firm.

"Tavis is no longer a threat, but his debt to Eltoril is far from being paid off. I have charged him a little interest before, but if I want him to really pay off the debt, that is absolutely impossible. It’s not just something that can be done by opening a few holes in his body and pulling out a few teeth.”

"I can guarantee that if Tavis is still conscious now and knows what will happen to him in the future, then he will seize every opportunity to commit suicide. I can guarantee all Eltoril people."

He had been mentally prepared on the way here. Although he still lost control of his emotions to a certain extent when he saw Tavis, all the confusion and pain he had during this time had been dealt with by that blow. He vented his anger violently.

So although he still has mixed feelings in his heart, he has calmed down, truly calmed down. The life experience and wisdom unique to the paladin have finally been liberated from the anger of revenge. His current mental barrier is by no means like Gargas thought he was so fragile. After completing this adventure, his spirit entered a new realm, so he turned to the shield beside him with indifferent eyes.

"And you, Hidden Lord, I don't know your details and origins, but your current words are obviously inciting. Although I have heard that some heavenly creatures are very naughty, this kind of behavior is definitely not consistent with the fire. Behavioral habits of most celestial beings.”

"So you'd better be careful with your words and don't let me discover any little thoughts and tricks. If you really dare to plot betrayal in your heart, then the one lying in front of you is your role model."
