Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 166 Situation

"I see. I have always wondered how the cultists below the dungeon died. I didn't expect it to be like this. But even so, this experience is really...bizarre."

Havanak said silently, and this sentence seemed to be a trigger. At this time, everyone else was no longer silent, but expressed their own exclamation.

Bion: "It's unbelievable. Although the person involved talks about it so lightly, I know that achieving what you have today cannot be achieved by just luck."

Palestine: ''If it hadn't happened right in front of me, I would have thought this was a story made up by that second-rate bard. "

Liara: "Incredible..."

Words like this kept ringing in the hall for a while, but in the end it was Advisor Florrick who came to her senses first, and she said to Nohir with some excitement.

"This is really, I don't know how to thank you. You have completely solved a series of crises that Tavis Craig might have caused. Because of your heroic actions, now we can directly focus on Put it on rescuing the Duke.”

"Even when we announce this news to the public tomorrow, we can proudly claim that we have solved all the troubles. All the people of Baldur's Gate owe you a favor."

At Advisor Florrick's sincere thanks, Nohill just smiled and continued.

Palestine: "Yes, although I really didn't expect things to develop in this direction, but it is precisely because of your activity that we can finally think about the next countermeasures."

Bion: "It's not just a countermeasure. Didn't you listen carefully? Nohir used a control spell to control Tavis Craig, which means we can pry it out of Tavis Craig's mouth." A lot of information about hell has been released! Maybe we can now directly figure out why the hell portal at the main fortress of Dawn suddenly closed!"

"You have shown the utmost trust in us. If we still blame you for this, then we would be too ungrateful."

and many more.

"Oh, Nohir, no one here will complain about this level of concealment. There is an old saying in Baldur's Gate. Everyone hides secrets in Baldur's Gate. What's more, you chose to reveal it to us in the end. "

Several other people also nodded in agreement with Advisor Florrick at this time.

"Wait a moment, I'm sorry, Consultant Florrick, don't you still know why the hell portal is closed?"

Florrick was stunned for a moment after hearing Nohir's question, and then answered.

Nohir looked at the people involved in the heated discussion and suddenly caught a key piece of information from their words.

"Who knows? The devil's action really caught us off guard, but what makes us even more unpredictable is their next action, although we now know the reason why Eltoril fell into hell. It’s because of that thing called the Sun of Conspiracy, but no one can explain why that thing shut down suddenly.”

"You're welcome, counselor. As long as you don't complain about my deliberate concealment before, I'll be thankful to God."

Palestine also replied at this time.

"That's right, those devils really played a trick on us. When the super-large cross-border portal was erected at the ruins of Eltoril, all the countries in the North thought that a storm was coming. A huge hell invasion has occurred."

"At that time, Waterdeep City and Neverwinter City had already begun to prepare their armies after receiving the news. Waterdeep City even sent a whole griffin company and two archmages to the main fortress of Dawn, but they had just arrived, and they were behind. The hell portal was closed, and the news of the portal opening had just reached Silvermoon City and Dagger Beach."

Bion also took over the topic at this time. "Due to the abnormal behavior of the devils suddenly closing the portal, the Northland Lords Alliance's defense alert, which had been raised to the highest level, instantly turned into a joke. At first, Waterdeep City and Neverwinter City, which are closest to here, remained vigilant for a few days. But soon everyone, including Baldur's Gate, confirmed that the devils had really given up on invading the main material plane."

"After confirming this, the people of the Northland Lords Alliance also began to gradually disband the army two days ago. The originally agreed armies dispersed quickly after the portal was closed. In fact, these armies did not even leave. There was no time.”

"The only ones who are still staying in the Dawn Barrier are the first Griffin company from Waterdeep City. Even the Archmage returned to their original residence after confirming that the portal is really completely closed."

Nohir frowned when he heard this. He didn't expect the northern countries to be so irresponsible in facing this kind of thing, and Ska asked in disbelief.

"How could this happen? The army has obviously been assembled, but what about the surviving people? What about the people who are still suffering in hell? Doesn't anyone care about Eltoril's life or death?"

Bion, Havanak and Palestine looked at each other. Now that they knew that Scar was a survivor from Eltoril, they probably couldn't accept such a cruel reality, so they just shook their heads.

But Liara was not so tactful, she spoke directly.

"Why bother? It's not them who are in trouble? In fact, let alone them, if our Grand Duke hadn't disappeared with the city, Baldur's Gate would not have gotten involved in this mess."

"Don't think that the Northern Lords Alliance is really noble. The reason why their troops were able to assemble so quickly this time was entirely to prevent the devil from jumping over the portal and invading their lair. That's why they gathered in a short time. We responded so quickly.”

"But as long as it is confirmed that this portal is really closed, there is no need for them to continue to care about the lives of subsequent survivors, let alone the obligation to care about the life and death of Eltoril. After all, Eltugard is not the Northland. Member of the Alliance of Lords.”

Although Liara's words were straightforward and rough, they revealed the essence of the operation of the Northern Lords Alliance. After all, they were not a charitable organization, unless it was something like the devil's cross-border portal that might endanger the entire Northern Territory. Otherwise, they would never have the heart to care about the life and death of other cities other than their own.

Advisor Florrick also continued at this time.

"I'm sorry, Scar, maybe Liara said it too bluntly, but this is the situation we are facing now. Eltoril may not be able to get help from other cities, but it doesn't matter, Bo The Gate of Virtue will intervene.”

"Now that we have learned the truth, all newspapers in Baldur's Gate will publish this news tomorrow. When the truth spreads, Baldur's Gate will also usher in a certain degree of stability. By then we can Prepare to open the passage to hell and go to hell to save our Grand Duke."

At this moment, Palestine suddenly spoke and answered the words of Advisor Florrick.

"What's more, we already know the reason why Eltoril sank into hell through the mystery box. Now we only need to find the original contract and destroy it, and Eltoril can return to the main material plane and the entire city. Everyone can be saved by this.”

Nohill looked at Palestine. He knew that this veteran was just taking care of Scar's emotions. After they actually went to hell, they would definitely have to find the Grand Duke as their main goal. However, such behavior undoubtedly made Nohill and Scar Everyone felt a little touched.

"Thank you, Palestine, but in the face of a crisis of this level, who can guarantee that such a thing can be done? I appreciate your kindness."

Nohir nodded to Palestine, but then he spoke to the people in front of him.

"At the same time, what I want to tell you is that I actually know why those demons gave up invading the main material plane."

"Because a bloody battle in the abyss is currently breaking out in Hell. The reason why the devils withdrew their troops is because they were sneak attacked by demons on the battlefield of the bloody battle and need to return to defense urgently. They have no time to take care of Eltoril who has been pulled into hell. If you want If we want to save the Duke, then the recent period is the best time to take action.”
