Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 40 Trying to persuade
  Nohir was a little confused. Why did Ska come to him so late?
  But despite his confusion, he got up and opened the door.

This tall, extraordinary-looking paladin is still wearing the heavy plate armor. Even at this time, he has not taken it off. The mud stained when he fled a few days ago is still stained on his clothes. It is obvious that he The card has not sorted out its appearance.

He looked at Nohir, as if he wanted to say something, but he just opened his mouth slightly, as if he didn't know how to say it, so he could only stand there blankly.

"...you come in first."

Nohir saw his embarrassment. Although he didn't understand why, the paladin would never come to your door for no reason. If they want to discuss something with you, then that matter must be very important.

After Scar walked into the room, Nohir closed the door.

"It's so late, why haven't you rested yet? What happened?"

Nohir asked as he returned to the stone bed and sat down. He pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for Scar to sit down as well.

However, Ska did not sit down. He hesitated for a while and then spoke directly to Nohir.

"I..., Nohir, I'm here to say goodbye to you."

?

"Farewell? Now? Are you kidding me? Do you know how dangerous the forest is at night? Are you leaving now without even having a weapon?"

"What about the people here? They still need you to guide them. What will they do if you leave? Where do you want to go alone?"

These words left Ska speechless. He himself naturally knew how irrational this approach was, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Because of my oath, I have vowed to take revenge on those evil spirits, let them taste my anger, and let all the evil spirits I have seen in this life be buried with Eltoril."

"Nohir, I'm really grateful that you can save them, but now I can't stop, I don't even dare to rest, because this kind of depraved thought will breed my weakness, corrode my will, and make me My sword is rusty and my shield is corroded.”

"I must act because of the oath of revenge I swore on the ruins of the city, and because of the perseverance oath of all the people of Eltor. I once vowed to be with the city, but now I am in the comfort of the camp. , silently enduring the pain in my heart."

"I can no longer continue to serve here but do nothing. The guilt in my heart is like an abyss swallowing my soul. This makes me restless."

'I see. '

Paladin.

This profession can be said to be the most arduous, difficult, and stubborn profession in the land of Faerûn.

If you want to successfully become a paladin, you not only need to train hard since childhood, but you must also make some kind of oath to stick to it from birth to death and never abandon it. Only with such an awareness can you become a qualified paladin. This is where their power comes from.

And now his vow of revenge and tenacity are urging him to take action. Even if this action is blind, it is better than doing nothing.

At least that's what Scar thinks.

"So where do you plan to go? And in what form do you plan to carry out your revenge."

"...I don't know, but I have heard from Halsin that the legendary heroes in Baldur's Gate are already preparing to rescue Eltoril. Maybe I will follow them as they set off to hell. When the time comes, charge forward together.”

"Before that, I have to return to the ruins of the city to protect the safety of the people while killing the invading evil spirits."

Then Harsin must not have told you that almost all of those demons should have withdrawn to hell to participate in the bloody battle.

There is no big danger on the way to escape now. The devil has almost disappeared without a trace. Even if you go back, your trip will be in vain.

Hey, even Harsin probably didn't expect that Scar would be so stubborn, but the paladins are all stubborn. If he didn't persuade him, he would really not look back.

Wait, my biggest purpose in going to Baldur's Gate this time is to kill the mastermind who caused this incident. At this point, Scar and I have the same purpose. Maybe I can convince him to help me with this matter. Scar is over 30 years old, and his professional level is certainly not low. He is also a paladin, and he can trust me to hand over his back to me. He can be said to be the best partner.

The other druids will not leave the verdant woodland, and the greatest help they can do is to provide a place to rest, as well as some food and medical care for the wandering refugees.

As a great druid, Halsin would never leave the woodland and go on an adventure with Nohir. What's more, the Harpers were coming soon, and he would definitely be here to greet them.

As a result, the only helper he can find now is Ska in front of him.

But how do I convince him?

……

"Then I'll take my leave, Nohir. I'm really sorry. If I can still survive after this incident is over, I will definitely try my best to make up for your kindness."

After saying this, Scar bowed to Nohir and turned to leave. At this time, after a brief thought, Nohir also spoke.

"Ska, have you ever thought about why the city suddenly fell?"

Nohir suddenly asked Ska this question, and this topic unsurprisingly made Ska, who was about to turn around and leave, stop.

"Isn't it those damn devils? Isn't it their damn conspiracy!"

"Do not."

Nohill interrupted his speech, which was blinded by anger, and continued to explain to him in detail.

"Even a conspiracy takes time to implement. Even the devil cannot plan such a huge conspiracy in such a short period of time."

"Drawing an entire city into hell requires long-term planning, and the city fell so quickly that people had no time to react. This shows that this conspiracy has been far-reaching. .”

"Ska, you may not know much about the devil, but what the devil does must be restricted by the contract. If there is no explicit stipulation on the ownership of an entire city, and if a traitor of high enough status is at work, the devil will never be able to accept it. Let’s go.”

"And has the right to decide Eltori..."

Scar's eyes suddenly opened. He originally just wanted to say sorry to Nohill and say goodbye before leaving, but he never expected that Nohill would dare to say such words!

"Shut up! Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know how serious an accusation this is!"

"Do you want to accuse the city lord! Question the supreme observer! Accuse the entire king of Ertugard!"

He turned around, the melancholy on his face was replaced by shock and anger, and directly used the extraordinary ability of scolding to stop Nohir from continuing to speak arrogantly.

He heard the underlying words of Nohir. He wanted to insult the Supreme Observer, but what did it mean to insult the Supreme Observer?
  It means that Nohir is insulting the founder of this city and this country!
  Insult all the Knights of Hell and the monarch to whom the Knights are loyal!

An insult to his oath and the oaths of all Hell Knights!

It is even more insulting to all the subjects of Eltoril! If this is true, then all of Eltoril's past glory will be just a joke!
  Nohill's words are denying everything!
  It was impossible for him to accept such an accusation, and the only reason why he didn't take action now was that Nohir had saved his life and the lives of many people. That's why he didn't smash his fist into the air the moment he heard these words. In Nohir's face!

"...You don't have to believe it, but I believe you have understood what I am about to say."

"Whether or not he is the mastermind behind the scenes, it is certain that there is a mastermind behind the scenes, and Baldur's Gate is the nearest big city to Eltoril. If that person did not fall into hell with the city, Then definitely head to Baldur’s Gate.”

"If you want to prove that what I said is wrong, then go back to your room now and have a good night's rest, let your head that has been roasted by anger take a good cooling off, and you can follow me to the blog tomorrow morning. The Gate of Virtue.”

"That's when all the answers will come out."
