Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 229 Seizing Power
A series of unexpected events made Gotash a little anxious, but he still forced himself to calm down and began to think carefully about how to solve the current situation.

"That damn old guy has always been suspicious of me. Now that the information about the Iron Guard's engine materials has been exposed, they have naturally associated me with the fall of Eltoril and think that I have a great relationship with this incident. It's really It’s fatal.”

"The Iron Guard is of great importance. I can't fall out with the Gond believers yet. I must find a way to stabilize them."

"They just know that the material comes from hell, but they don't have any more clues. Except for that old guy Vika, the other Gond believers don't have that big of an objection to me. As long as they can come up with something acceptable to both parties, If you say so, then there is still the possibility of continuing to cooperate with them.”

Gotash's guess was correct. It was impossible for them to conclude that Gotash was related to this hell operation based on just a piece of material from hell. They also had no evidence to prove that the missing prospecting teams were caused by Gotash. Lost.

After all, there is no evidence, and suspicion can only be suspicion. Maybe some individuals will target him because of these suspicions, but most people are stupid and blind. As long as they give a slightly more reasonable explanation, they will They forced themselves to believe because they couldn't imagine that the Iron Guard they had painstakingly researched and improved finally had to be abandoned because of some "unfounded doubts".

Gond believers have no excessive desires. Their greatest desire is to make their works famous in history. There is no doubt that Iron Guard is the technology that can make people famous in history.

But the technology itself is in his name. If Gotash chooses to monopolize the name of inventing the Iron Guard, all the investment of the Gond believers will be in vain, so as long as his explanation is sincere enough, they will not easily Give up cooperation with him.

"There are also those two people. Those two people are really capable of making trouble. The three major events that happened in Baldur's Gate recently are all related to them. If only one thing is related to them, it can still be said to be... Luck and chance, but these three things are all related to them, and they are also very important, which only shows that they are well prepared.”

"Kill them. They are just two little minions who are temporarily famous. They have too many things to do. In most cases, being famous is not a good thing, especially short-lived fame. You should not offend them. It’s just normal for someone to be found dead in the sewer the next day.”

Xie Nian replied coldly and briefly. For an assassin, they often only need to know the first two pieces of information. But Xie Nian is not just an assassin, he is also the leader of a cult. He must know those What is the reason why people die under his blade?

If the reasons given by Gotash are not sufficient, then he will not pay attention to what he says. No matter how much he desires to kill in his heart, as long as he thinks that the target is not worth killing, he will hold back his bloodthirsty desire. Until he finds someone he considers worthy.

It took more than ten minutes for Gotash to finally clarify his thoughts. He looked at Xie Nian again, and this time he spoke slowly.

"Duke Salamara Vansample, her current location should be under the water prison of Bodran High Tower. Thanks to those two friends we have never met, we have to deal with this former ally. Killer, after all, even if the Duke has been taken down, she knows too many secrets, especially about you. It would be a good thing for us to shut her up completely. "

"Who is the target, where is it, and why."

"Xie Nian, my dearest ally, before you go to carry out that serious mission, I'm afraid I have to rely on your ability first... There are several targets, and I need you to defeat them."

"You are very honest. You can tell me the next one."

The evil thoughts immediately understood why Gotash said that the death of the Duke would be good for them. Baldur's Gate implements a parliamentary system. Dukes are jointly elected by nobles and union leaders and elected by vote. However, one Duke was revoked. The position means a vacancy in top-level power, and Gotash has set his sights on this position. For him, this is a pretty good opportunity.

The situation in Baldur's Gate during this period can be described as turbulent. After the disappearance of the Grand Duke, the nobles in the entire city were like a bunch of headless flies. Everyone was in danger. And while everyone was trembling, Gotash borrowed the help of evil thoughts. Help, he may not be able to take advantage of this period to directly ascend the throne of Duke. What's more, the process and time it takes to try a duke is really too long. During the process, it is impossible to guarantee that she will say something detrimental to them. This makes Gotash have to speed up the process a little and let the duke be tried as soon as possible. Die at all, and after her death, the noble council can enter the election process faster.

"Thank you, my dearest ally, I knew I could count on you. Baldur's Gate is currently in extreme turmoil, and there is a serious vacancy of power at the top. After the disappearance of the Grand Duke, the city can barely maintain stability, but if another A duke died in prison... Haha, panic will come as expected. All it takes is a little bluffing, and maybe tomorrow the power of the entire city will be in your hands. "

"You are really optimistic."

"Ha! Nature hates a power vacuum! If that's the case, then the gap in the food chain must be filled by me!"

Gotash laughed, and the laughter revealed endless ambition, but Xie Nian was not interested in it.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and give me a list. I will find time to unplug them one by one."

"Ah, please."

Gotash took out a pen, and one name after another gradually appeared on the paper. Nohir, Ska, and even Minsk's names all appeared on it, but Vika was not on the list.

Obviously Gotash also knows that even if Vikar has posed a threat to his identity, he must not attack him directly at this time, otherwise Gond believers will realize that something is wrong, no matter how stupid they are.

"There are three people in total, plus Duke Vansample, there are four people. These two are a team. Their presence alone has disrupted my plan to some extent. The recent Baldur's Journey These things are caused by the two of them. If we continue to let things go, I don’t know what they will do. This unstable factor must be cleared up in advance. "

"My men reported that they have been serving in the Supreme Hall during this period. These two people themselves should not be considered strong. It should be easy for you."

Gotash pulled out two portraits from the drawer. The people in the portraits were Nohill and Scar. He didn't know when these were completed.

Their expressions were clearly captured in the painting. Not only were they very similar, they were also similar. Gotash pushed the painting towards his evil thoughts, and then took out another painting and handed it to him as well.

"But this, this stupid guy named Minsk is a figure who became famous a hundred years ago. He represents the hope of this city and is a symbol of heroism. As a person who already became famous 100 years ago, Hero, his strength may exceed my imagination. At the same time, according to the report of my intelligence officer, he is also staying in the Supreme Hall during this time."

"The goals overlap slightly, which undoubtedly makes your task more difficult, but as long as you kill him, heroism will completely fall in this city, and the citizens will fall into true despair. At this time , I only need to promote my masterpiece, my Iron Guard, to the general public, and I will become a new hero."

"This will make me ascend to the throne of the highest power in Baldur's Gate!"
