Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 205 Acting Alone
"It's no longer safe here. I saw some nearby demons in the sky starting to move closer here. The noise caused by the previous battle was a bit loud, and the nearby demons were attracted."

Nohir fell from the sky, walked to the body of Flomo, which had begun to turn into ashes, and said to him while catching the ax thrown by Scar.

"What should we do? Should we evacuate immediately?"

Ska asked with some worry. Even if their location was above hell, it would not change the fact that they were still in the devil's base camp.

"No, no, this is an opportunity."

Nohir frowned and thought for a while, and after a few seconds, he rejected Scar's proposal.

"I took a look in the air before. The demons that came were not very strong. Most of them were bearded demons and hedgehog demons. The number was not particularly large. There were only about a dozen. Based on the distance, there were less than two. They'll be here in minutes."

"These devils are indeed not many...but why are they said to be opportunities?"

"Of course it's an opportunity to obtain information. I'm wondering if I can use my appearance to sneak into their ranks, and then find out from those devils what is happening in the city now."

"After all, operations cannot be carried out without the support of intelligence. It is very dangerous to know nothing in hell. After I obtain enough information, I will take the initiative to find you. This process should not take long."

"What? Why go to so much trouble? And the risk of doing this is too great! You don't have to take this risk at all. We just need to find the citizens who are still alive in the city and get clues from them..."

"Ska, what's happening in the city now is a nightmare for them, and the only way they can survive after something like this is to stay in their houses and pray that the devil outside can't find them, and in In this environment, what do you think these citizens would know?”

"..."

"If we want to find out what is happening in this city and what we are going through as quickly as possible, then the best way is to pry it out directly from the enemy's mouth. After all, if we don't figure out what is going on here, Then any rash actions we take may add unexpected obstacles to the purpose of our trip."

"But just getting mixed up with the devil..."

"Don't worry about my safety. Don't you know my strength? If I really want to leave, ordinary devils can't stop me. Even if I encounter someone who can't be beaten, I can still fly. Besides, I still have this helmet. Sensing the location of the devil, the actual risk is not as big as you think."

"So don't worry, go quickly, they will be here soon."

"...be careful yourself."

Ska glanced at Nohir worriedly, and then left before other devils arrived, and Nohir looked relieved at Ska who left.

He deliberately set aside Scar. After all, with the crown, the benefits of acting alone in hell are much greater than those of acting in a group.

The crown has given him a huge advantage. Whether it is obtaining information or strength, as long as he is given the opportunity and time, he will definitely be able to quickly enhance his strength in hell. At the same time, all kinds of secret information will never be hidden from him, but This power cannot be fully exerted when there are other people around. Because Nohill can't explain the source of this power, at least for now, he needs to act alone for a period of time to find a reasonable excuse for why he has this power.

Since Nohir could not explain why he could become a devil before, he acted alone in hell for a period of time, and during this period he accidentally obtained a magical object and gained this ability by accident. Wouldn’t that explain the source of this power?

This is what Nohill thinks. Of course, the specific words will definitely need to be slightly optimized and adjusted later. The most he can say is that he can transform into a specific kind of devil, and it is absolutely impossible to use all his abilities. Go out, so as not to arouse Gargas' vigilance.

After all, in Nuo Xi's eyes, he is the real feast. Before that, he could not add additional resistance to this purpose. In order to obtain this power, no, it is somewhat inaccurate to say that it is power. After all, Nuo Xi owns the panel. I am confident that I will never lose to Gargas in the future, but [Divinity], this is the most precious treasure of that devil.

His divinity is what Nohir wants most. This power is beyond his current level and is a treasure that only gods and demigods can access.

Nohir felt that as long as he obtained the soul gem of Gargas, he would also be able to obtain that divinity, and as long as he obtained that little divinity, he might also be able to become a god in the future!
At worst, he can become a demigod. As long as he has this power, he can barely say that he is capable of protecting himself even in Faerûn, which will be plagued by disasters in the future.

The conversation between the two took about a minute, and Nohill did not stay where he was after Scar left. With his Cambion disguise at this time, he did have a high probability of temporarily sneaking into the devil's formation. However, lacking identification, he is destined to be unable to frighten the devils for too long.

Therefore, pretending to be Cambion is not the best choice. The reason why he said this is just to tell Scar. After all, there is a simpler way for him to find out the current situation in hell.

Nohir took advantage of the time when the demons didn't come and hid in the ruins nearby. With the help of the wall's cover, he instantly turned into a hedgehog demon in a flash of red light. At the same time, the memories of this demon's body began to come back. It kept popping up in his mind.

This allowed Nohir to instantly understand some basic knowledge about the Nine Hells, but the most important thing was the specific situation of Avernus, the first layer he currently belonged to.

-

Legend has it that under the rules of Asmodeus, the Lord of the Nine Hells, all plane portals cannot directly connect to the lower realms of the Nine Hells. Therefore, Avernus from the first level came to this place. The entry point for travelers above.

Avernus, this hellish place is a rocky wasteland strewn with rivers of blood and biting flies, where fiery comets occasionally fall from the dark sky and leave smoking craters, serving as the front line of Hell's resistance to the Abyss. , broken weapons and skeletons can be seen almost everywhere, signs that the legions of the Nine Hells met and triumphed over their enemies on home soil.

The Archduchess Zariel rules Avernus. Her rival Bair, the original Grand Duke of the first level of the Nine Hells, was pulled down due to disappointing Asmodeus and was forced to serve as Zariel's Consultant, but everyone knows that Bayer will never be satisfied with this arrangement.

At the same time, there is also very exciting news, that is, the legendary God of the Five Colored Dragons, the Evil Dragon Queen, and the legendary Tiamat are imprisoned in this layer.

She retained her own domain of domination, but was restricted to the Nine Hells by Asmodeus through some ancient pact. Apart from Avernus, she could not go anywhere else, and it is said that except for the god Tiamat herself , only the nine Grand Dukes of Hell know the specific contents of this treaty.
