Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 246 Questions
The knights showed great kindness to Nohill once they figured out his true identity, and Nohill himself knew what was going on.

On the one hand, he had been on the watch list of the Hell Knights. All the official members of these knights knew him, and his performance was very good during the period of investigation, and he had not done anything illegal or criminal.

On the other hand, he suddenly appeared here and helped them a lot. Not only did he save the Duke and the Master, but a group of brothers of these warriors also survived because of Nohir's help.

These performances secretly added a lot of impression points to Nohir. At least among these warriors, no one would hate Nohir because of his appearance.

Although Nohir wouldn't care even if these people really hated him because of his appearance, it would be best to avoid these troubles. Moreover, the devil outside is still preparing a conspiracy, and the danger they face is not the same. It has not been completely lifted, and under the current crisis-ridden conditions, it is almost impossible for any conventional links to appear.

Nohill followed the master and the Duke into the interior of the fortress. Here, he saw hundreds of fully armed soldiers running around in the large campus. The soldiers held various weapons in their hands. supplies.

Some of these materials were carried to the city wall, such as bow arrows, rolling logs and radium stones, while some were carried to the city gate, such as overlapping wooden horses and sandbags used as bunkers.

Now the city wall is piled with arrows specially designed for bed crossbows. Every warrior on the city wall is equipped with a variety of bows and arrows. Even if the devils have temporarily retreated, they have not relaxed their vigilance at all. The entire fortress is full of busy people. a feeling of.

The Duke waved to an unknown warrior, moved him to his side and gave him a few instructions. When the warrior nodded in response, the Duke patted his shoulder with relief, and then turned around. Come to Nohir and the Master.

"It's been a long wait. I have already given some instructions to the adjutant. The soldiers will remain vigilant in our absence. We don't have to worry about those devils attacking or sneaking up again for the time being."

"Come with me, let's go down there to heal first, and then we can discuss what is going on."

Nohir and the master were inseparable. The two of them, as well as some seriously injured warriors, followed the Duke to a stone house in the middle of the camp, and then descended from the trap door in the middle of the house to the cellar below. Inside.

The distance from the ground to the cellar was not that far, but Nohill made an estimate during the process, and then he was surprised to find that the cellar was much deeper than he thought. They walked along the slope for a long time. It took more than a minute to finally reach the bottom level.

Nohill estimated that the rock formations above were at least more than 20 meters thick. Such a thick defense must have used the power of magic. It is no wonder that this is the only place in the city that can guarantee the survival of residents.

The Duke pushed open the cellar door, and as soon as the door opened, various human voices buzzed and exploded in the underground space. Nohir saw an extremely huge space and a large number of people. The survivors were all huddled under this cellar. They were piled in twos and threes, with pale faces. Only some scattered torches could illuminate their hopeless faces.

There is not much food reserve here, and everyone understands this very clearly. If Master Jahira hadn't arrived and brought a lot of edible water and food, these people might have collapsed long ago. It can be said that even if Just maintaining the current half-dead situation is not easy. The arrival of the Duke and the others did not cause much commotion. Firstly, it was because it was really dark here and most people could not see the Duke and the Master. Secondly, because it was not lunch time yet. At this time, even if the door was opened, It doesn't mean that there is food distributed, so their mood is naturally not high.

The Duke just sighed when he saw this scene. No one disturbed these desperate people too much, and they quietly passed through the gaps between people.

The Duke first arranged for several soldiers with serious injuries to go to the priest for treatment first. The manpower to receive treatment also included the master. The arrow on her shoulder had to be pulled out, and she also needed to receive magical treatment.

After the injuries of the master and the seriously injured soldiers were healed by magic, he took the soldiers whose injuries had improved to receive the relief supplies.

After helping them prepare herbs, bandage their wounds, and take them to a fixed resting point, the Duke turned around and found the master who had also treated the wounds, and Nohir who was accompanying her.

The Duke called the two of them and took them to a remote corner. He then opened a rather secret stone house here. Obviously, this was a place similar to a secret council room. The Duke and others After both of them came in, they closed the door directly, isolating people's lamentations.

"It is relatively safe here, and you can discuss some secret topics at will. Nohill, brave warrior, I would like to express my gratitude to you again here, thank you for your heroic rescue, and thank you for what you have done for us. everything of."

The Duke bowed and saluted Nohir, and Nohir also bowed slightly to return the courtesy. He accepted the Duke's compliment because it was a fact and there was nothing to admit.

After that, the Duke asked Nohill some questions, including how Nohill came suddenly at such a critical moment, and some other more suspicious things, but Nohill had not had time to answer these questions. , Master Jahila has already explained it in advance.

"Do you remember what I told you yesterday? Duke, the city you rule has finally sent out a team to rescue you, and now it seems there is no doubt that Nohir is a member of this team."

The Duke looked at Nohir with questioning eyes, and Nohir nodded with a smile, acknowledging the master's guess. At this time, the Duke was obviously relieved.

In fact, he had always had a certain degree of doubt about Nohill's sudden appearance before. When Nohill had just appeared and slaughtered the devils who besieged them with a strong attitude, the Duke classified Nohill. Go to the friendly camp.

But now that the danger has passed, as the current temporary leader of the entire city, the life and death of thousands of people, or even all humans in the entire city, is in his hands. His responsibility requires him to figure out this unknown origin. What is the situation of his teammates, and at this moment, the master took the lead and asked Nohill again.
