Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 99 Vika Qianzhi

"Zhizhi! This mouse is really scared to death! If I meet someone like you who can talk to other animals again in the future, I will never help him again no matter what kind of reward he offers!"

"Especially you! I worked hard to get information for you, but you told me false news. You said there was a cat in the manor, but was it an ordinary cat?"

Tails stood in front of Nohir and complained to him. It was really frightened. It chose to leave the human residence and come to the sewers to make a living. Firstly, it was because its skills were not as agile as before, and secondly, it was raised in human homes. s cat.

It used to have many companions, but most of them died in the cat's mouth, so it is still afraid of cats in its bones, but if it was just an ordinary cat, its tail would actually be confident of avoiding it in a short time, but this time it encountered The cat is so outrageous, it actually has wings! Whose cat can have wings?

Nohir didn't say much when he heard this, but knelt down on one knee, took out a piece of cherry hand cake from the bag behind him again, broke off a little from his hand and gave it to Tai Tai to comfort him.

"Sorry, Tails, this is indeed my fault. You are right. Wrong information is more fatal than no information. It is indeed my fault for letting you take additional risks."

The tail took the piece of food. It didn't expect that Nohir would apologize to it so seriously. In fact, it doesn't matter how much it complained about Nohir for putting him in danger. It was just a little scared. Coupled with the stress reaction caused by the fear of being thrown out by a cat with its neck in its mouth, this is why it is so excited now.

But Tails actually knew that if it hadn't been for Nohill's quick reaction when it was in danger, taking over the body in time and convincing the cat, it might have died long ago, and Nohill was willing to live in the world for a cat. The rat in the sewer could do this, which made Taili feel strangely moved. After all, he had never seen a human being who took the life of a rat seriously.

However, Nohir did not know its psychological activities, but spoke to it seriously.

"So let me make it up to you. I will bring you more rewards to make up for the shock this accident has caused you."

"You have also done a great job in your mission. Without you, I probably wouldn't have been able to discover the place hidden under the stable. This discovery may be very useful. Maybe you have made a great contribution."

"So wait a moment. Whether it's the food promised before or the reward you've added now, I will deliver it to you soon. Our contract ends here. Enjoy the reward you deserve."

He gently scratched Tails' head with his gloved fingers, put the remaining food on the ground, and stood up directly under the sewer manhole cover. He slightly bent his knees and jumped five meters high. Grasp the edge of the manhole cover, pull it out of the sewer, and then return the manhole cover to its original position.

He went to prepare the reward he promised, while Tails kept holding the pieces of food. Looking at Nohir leaving, he couldn't help but say something.

"This guy is really a good person."

Nohir was preparing some easy-to-store and non-perishable food as payment, while Ska on the other side had already arrived at the Hall of Supreme Miracles.

-

The Hall of High Wonders, this magnificent and majestic building is strictly a quasi-religious museum dedicated to displaying the great inventions created in the name of Gond.

The Hall of High Miracles lists all the great creations invented by Gond believers in history, ranging from mechanical claws for lifting heavy objects at the Gray Harbor docks to small orchestras driven by steam power. These inventions are displayed here one by one, and There is also a small sign in front of each invention that lists the inventor of the tool, its purpose and known origin.

This hall is also the only public facility for Gond believers that is completely open to Baldur's Gate and can be visited by anyone. Those true devout believers and inventors of Gond work in another supreme wonder hall with a similar name. , and most of the staff in this hall are their family members, with only a small proportion of real Gond priests.

Logically speaking, if you want to discuss business, you should go directly to the Supreme Hall of Miracles to find their main person in charge. However, on the way here, Scar inquired that the Supreme Miracle Hall is not open to the public like the temples of other gods. The temple is also a workshop, where great inventions are being studied in silence.

So he could only come here and hope to find their external person in charge to discuss it.

Scar walked into the hall. He was not the only one here. There were also many citizens of Baldur's Gate who were visiting here. They were watching and marveling at the mechanical creations, large or small, that some were even roaring and running. This wonderful sight made Scar, a traditional paladin, stunned.

"No wonder Nohir would say that these Gond believers would be interested in hell chariots. Indeed, if their daily life is to invent and create such creations made of steel, then the alternative technology from hell may be of no use to them. Different from the dragon’s treasure.”

Scar shook his head. He didn't want to judge this kind of mechanical supremacy. For him now, being able to negotiate this business with Gond believers was the most important thing.

As long as he succeeds, he can get a lot of money, and this money will become a weapon to fight against evil. Even if the money is exchanged for the devil's creations, it doesn't matter. He no longer has those moral obsessions. Scar didn't think much about it anymore. He walked through the crowd and most of the booths of mechanical creations, and then found a staff member who maintained the temple, a male dwarf, and expressed his demands to him.

"Sir, you said you have a very novel mechanical creation in your hands that you want to sell to us?"

"In the name of my oath, in this glorious temple, my words will never be deceptive."

Scar took off the holy oath badge that symbolized the Hell Knight of Eltoril from his neck. It was still shining with magical aura. Only when holding this badge can the paladin release his own spells and show this to others. Planting a badge is also the simplest and clearest way to prove that you are a paladin.

Originally, this badge representing Eltoril contained Ska's former creed of devotion, but now revenge has completely replaced the former devotion, which makes the badge that originally shimmered with golden magic aura now shimmers with dark gold. of brilliance.

"Oh, this emblem seems to be the symbol of Eltoril, but I heard that Eltoril was drawn into hell some time ago. Are you a paladin who survived that lost city?"

"Wait a minute, you said before that the mechanical creations you wanted to sell were not seized from the hands of the devil! If they were really snatched from the hands of the devil, they would be truly high-end goods! I have always wanted to study those hells. mechanical!"

The staff member's shouting directly disturbed all the tourists present, and he himself seemed to be unconscious and even more excited. After making those guesses, he seemed to be completely in a state of fanaticism. If Ska dared to make a point at this time, If the guy admits his suspicion, he will definitely jump up and hug Scar's thigh.

Why do I always meet these overly enthusiastic guys since I entered this city?

Ska covered her head with a headache. Before coming, Nohir had specifically told him not to cause too much harassment, but now the situation was so embarrassing that even Ska didn't know how to stop it.

"Vilot! How are you behaving like this? Why are you shouting in the holy hall? Your behavior has embarrassed our guests, and Gond has never taught us to be so disrespectful!"

"Lord Vika!"

One man was wearing a pure white robe, with brass goggles hanging around his neck, and a tool belt around his waist, which was full of various hammers and parts. Although he was short in stature, he had an amazing voice. The dwarf is walking quickly.

He loudly stopped the over-enthusiastic staff member, scolded him in a low voice when he came to him, and then drove him away to appease other tourists. After completing this, he stood in front of him. He said apologetically to Scar in front of him.

"I'm really sorry, guest. Vitro is too young, and he is too reckless in doing things. I will punish him to clean the entire hall after closing. I hope you can forgive his recklessness and impulsiveness."

Scar put away the badge, lowered his head slightly and said to the man in front of him.

"I forgive his behavior. In my opinion, he is just a little too fanatical about his hobbies. But maybe this is not a bad thing for Gond believers?"

Scar's words made Vika smile slightly. In fact, enthusiasm for invention is a quality possessed by any Gond believer, so what Scar said is indeed right.

"Haha, you are right, guest, but the most important thing when making inventions is to have a cool head, and if young people's enthusiasm is not controlled, it is natural for them to get into trouble."

He smiled, stretched out his hand, and said to Scar.

"I am the current head of the Supreme Hall of Miracles, the deputy chief priest of Gond, and the great inventor Vika Qianzhi. I am happy to serve you."
