Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 174 Successful lobbying

"In the year 1485 of the Vale Calendar, a war broke out between the voters of Winter Maiden Oluel and the Ten Towns in Icewind Dale, and was subsequently defeated."

"And in Hainook, the Bedai people, seeing the scattered and weakened Nethalel army, decided to take the opportunity to rebel in order to break their long-term subjugation."

"The orcs who have conquered or trapped the dwarf fortresses in the North have begun to set out to conquer Silvermoon City."

"And in Cormyr and Sambia, Netherese and Cormyrians fought fiercely for territory, and the valley became a battlefield between the two."

"At this time, the environment in the northern continent was opposite to the drought in the south. Since the autumn of 1485, the local [heavy rainstorms] have been pouring down continuously in the area around the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars, almost without stopping for a moment."

"By the beginning of 1486, when the waters rose in the east, the tide began to push against the orc army in the north, crushing and scattering their armies by the end of the year."

"In that year, the elves of Myth Drannor helped the Vale repel the armies of Sembia, and Luskan's [Wizard Tower] together with the [Arcane Brotherhood] rose again in the Sword Coast region."

"The people of Waterdeep and Neverwinter worked to rule over a city that had fallen into ruins and neglect throughout the centuries. Cormyr drove out the last Sembian and Netherese armies from the realm and reestablished it. After regaining his territory, he recalled his troops and began to turn towards the interior of the country, and began to rebuild the national strength."

"At the end of 1486, [the heavy rain] finally began to subside, but this event did not mean the end of the chaos. The rising water level of the Falling Star Sea also flooded large areas of the surrounding land."

"At the beginning of 1487, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions continued for several months, and the whole world seemed to be shaking. Nethalel, who gave up attacking Cormyr, pushed the Shadow City over Myth Drannor and launched an attack on it. In the battle to seize Myth Drannor's [Mystery Lock] and the main body of the Demonic Network, the flying capital of Netheril, the last floating city [Shadow City] in the world, was shot down and crashed into Myth Drannor, and then Leading to the catastrophic destruction of both.”

Nohir, who said so many words in one breath, paused to take a breath, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued.

The terrifying words in Nohir's mouth made Mrs. Satir fall into silence. She was really frightened by the terrifying future possibilities in Nohir's mouth.

"Although the specific manifestations are slightly different, the destructive power and destructiveness are probably no less than those of the previous 100 years."

"The world seems to have fallen into a strange reincarnation, and we are now at the cusp of the times. These events are telling us that perhaps we are already repeating the history of more than 100 years ago."

“The winter of 1487 to 1488 was longer than any winter recorded in Faerûn’s history. Since then, the spring and autumn equinoxes and winter and summer solstices have shifted, and during this year, although the orcs in the north were different due to the weather, After being successfully repulsed, the [Silver Federation] blamed each other for the failure of the previous allied wars, and finally disbanded in 1488. Sambia split into independent city-states and maintained only nominal ties with other allies. Netheril The empire was completely destroyed, but a few settlements still survived.”

Although Faerûn has been plagued by natural and man-made disasters since ancient times, major and minor disasters have continued, but since the advent of the Valley Calendar, the only major events recorded in history are the three almost-destroying events 100 years ago. A major accident in the world, but now Nohir said that the world seems to be repeating the catastrophe of the past. The most important thing is that Mrs. Satir even thinks that what Nohir said makes sense.

"Then the time came to 1494 in the Vale Calendar, that is, this year, in this year's Flowering Month (June), the city of Baldur's Gate's neighbor, Eltoril, the capital of Elturgard, fell into hell, and along with it Together with the Grand Duke Ravengard, they disappeared from this world without a trace."

"In the last hundred years, from [Saint's Catastrophe] to [Arcane Catastrophe], it took more than 30 years, and the incident that happened at Baldur's Gate 12 years ago seems to have started the current dispute. The fuse of the times.”

"...So, Nohir, do you want to use the power of that shield to survive future disasters?"

"No, Mrs. Satyr, it's to get through the current disaster."

Nohir contradicted Mrs. Satir's words. "I can tell you one thing, madam, although Baldur's Gate is currently surrounded by conspiracies and disasters, Baldur's Gate obviously has no intention of giving up the fight. Currently, the Parliament is already preparing how to rescue the Grand Duke of Ravengard and... Eltoril, Scar and I will also join in this operation."

"Although this shield may have some unknown risks, the devil has now chosen us, so at least until the devil achieves his purpose, he will ensure that we are alive. Even for this purpose, he is still here I have revealed part of my power before, and this power can help us.”

"Of course, I know that the devil is not trustworthy, so if you agree, madam, I will take advantage of these two days to add some restrictions to the devil sealed in the shield. I already have some ideas, so please Believe me, madam, I have the ability to minimize the risk of that shield, and that evil creation will also be used for a righteous cause."

"..."

Mrs. Satyr fell into silence, and Nohir did not say any more when she saw this. She just sat quietly and took a sip of tea from time to time. It was not until a few minutes passed that Mrs. Satyr finally spoke with difficulty.

"……Can."

After saying this, Mrs. Satir sighed deeply, as if she had taken the most difficult step, and Nohir also smiled.

"I am extremely grateful, madam. I hereby swear on the name of Silvanus, the father of the oak tree, that I will never let the devil in that shield have any chance to harm the world, and I will never let the reputation of the Hune family be ruined. suffer any damage."

After hearing Nohir's oath, Mrs. Satyr sighed deeply again, and then shook her head.

"I believe in you, Nohir, even without taking an oath. I can feel that you and your fellow paladin are both upright and righteous people. They even saved my life. I don't have any reason." do not believe you."

Mrs. Satyr stood up.

"Furthermore, even if this shield continues to be kept in the hands of me and my family, it will still be a piece of waste that takes up space. It is far less useful than in your hands. If this item can really help you with your next actions, then it will It’s worth the risk for me.”

"And fortunately, my family members are not very impressed by this shield, so I will conceal the existence of this shield when I return to my family tomorrow. I believe it is not difficult."

"Many thanks."

"No, I just want to thank you. I'm really sorry for bothering you so late."

"But Nohir, even though I've said this many times, I have to remind you again."

"Be careful with that shield."

"I will, ma'am."
