Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 285 Bloodline of Hell

"What is the difference between these two forms?"'

"Well, actually there is not much difference. After the tiefling transforms into a legendary individual, he will gain three additional legendary characteristics, and among these three legendary characteristics, two characteristics are possessed by both forms. The only difference between them lies in the last characteristic."

"Hell Jazz's different abilities are [Soul Burning Fire]. The effect is to give you the ability to control the fire of hell, and the intensity of the fire will become stronger as your own attributes improve. It is a very powerful unique skill, and The different ability of the demon is [Soul Eater], which can devour souls more efficiently, thereby temporarily improving abilities, recovering injuries, and even speeding up the growth of the body. It is also a very powerful ability."

"In addition to the differences between these two skills, these two forms also have two identical characteristics. One is called [Blood Soul Contract]. This ability is equivalent to a replica of Hell Contract, except that you are required to cast it. Apart from the blood of the contracting party, the constraints brought by the contract power of this ability are almost the same as those of the genuine hell contract, and it is very convenient to perform. Even verbal agreements can be used as the carrier of the contract, as long as Add the blood of both parties, and it can be directly regarded as a successful signing.”

"The other is a characteristic called [Hell Race]. This characteristic will directly deepen your hell bloodline, allowing you to directly become a devil that is not bound by hell on a biological level."

"Becoming a devil? Well, you succeeded in making me somewhat resistant to the transformation brought about by this ritual."

"Oh, my God! Nohir, don't be so pedantic. You already have half of the blood of hell. What's wrong with becoming a devil completely? What's more, a special existence like you will escape from the class system of hell. As long as you If you don’t make a deal with a devil that’s stronger than you, you won’t be controlled by a higher-level devil.”

"You can escape from hell freely, and do not have to be bound by ancient contracts like other devils. You must stay in hell most of the time to resist the devil. You will also gain the devil's immortal lifespan, and death will not threaten you. You, after your death, you will automatically come to hell to be reborn. You will be immune to fire damage, and directly obtain the evil majesty that only high-level demons possess. This will make you a noble in hell. I didn’t expect you to have it. Any chance of rejecting this power!"

"..."

In fact, as Gargaoth said, Nohir doesn't really care about the change of race. He was still a human when he traveled through time, and after coming to Faerûn, he became a tiefling for 14 years. Logically speaking, he is no longer a human being. , then even if the hell bloodline is stronger, or even completely turns into a devil, it will not be so difficult for him to accept.

After all, he already has devil's wings, not to mention that he can become stronger because of it, so why not? Logically speaking, this is certainly true, but there is a problem that Nohill has to consider. If this problem cannot be solved, Nohill would even rather give up this power!

"I say, Gargaoth, if I undergo this ritual and transform completely into a devil, will I become ugly as a result - no, to be precise, will my skin color and appearance be drastically changed as a result?" "Wha-what? What are you talking about? What does this question have to do with whether you accept the ceremony? In my opinion, this question is completely meaningless!"

"No! It's meaningful, it's very significant!"

Nohill rejected him very excitedly. If this ritual would really cause unbearable changes in his appearance, then Nohill would definitely give up! Not for anything else, just to be worthy of the handsome face I have now! Because he is a real Yan Party member!

When I first played Baldur's Gate, due to the nature of the game, in the middle of the game, players would have the opportunity to accept the psychic transformation brought by the Mind Flayer Tadpole and transform themselves into a half-Mind Flayer form. In that form The character can still ensure that the basic form does not change much, but can directly obtain all the abilities possessed by the mind flayer. It can be said to be a huge improvement in quality, but Nohir has never chosen to accept this power!
Not once! The biggest reason is that after transforming into a half-mind flayer, something like a purple-black blood vessel will appear directly on the face of the game character. The existence of this thing directly destroys the character he worked so hard to create and makes him worry. The handsome man and beautiful woman who was made with great effort were directly disfigured. Nohir would never accept this!
So even though he knew that he would become very powerful after becoming a half-mind flayer, except for trying it once during the first game, he never let his character be infected with that kind of strange thing again! This is the case in the game, and it is naturally impossible for Nohir to break his own bottom line in reality!
"Whether you are strong or not is a temporary matter, but whether you are handsome or not is a lifelong matter! I am confident that I can become a legendary strong man in the future even if I don't rely on this ritual, not to mention that my personality will change drastically after becoming a devil. risks of."

The problem that Nohill said does exist. In this damn world, the devil's blood is really poisonous. The world called Toril in which the continent of Faerun is located, due to the real existence of its gods, this is As a result, most of the races living in this world did not evolve naturally, but developed under the influence of the gods of various races. This characteristic caused these races to be born with a part of their creator's character.

Therefore, the devil's bloodline, which is naturally inclined to lawful evil, can really affect the body of the devil. This kind of thing is just like most barbarians will become delirious after going berserk. It is a hidden power that can affect their own will. risk.

Among the reasons why Nohir did not want to accept this power, apart from the somewhat funny appearance issue, the more important reason was that he did not want to be contaminated by the blood of hell, even though in the strict sense, he had long been a hell creature. .

"...I have never heard of such a nonsense reason, but no matter what the reason is for you to say this, I can assure you that although this ritual will bring about a certain degree of change in your appearance , but this change will never directly transform you into a different person.”

"You will still maintain your original appearance, and your skin color will not change. You will only become taller, stronger, and even handsome. I can swear to you that the ceremony will only bring positive effects. You Don’t worry about it affecting your mind. This legendary ritual is specifically for tieflings. Although the ritual will deepen your hellish bloodline and make you almost the same as a devil on a biological level, your essence is still a tiefling. Lin, this will never change.”
