Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 297 Hanxi Castle

Nohill's infiltration operation went smoothly.

Although the city of Stygia is huge and the terrain inside is complicated, with one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps, in addition to the devil legions fighting outside the city, there are at least 5000 elite devil soldiers in the city, of more than a dozen different types. Demons and yugoloths, and the fortress is full of various magic traps and defense measures, but all of these problems were overcome by Nohir.

'It's really thanks to the Crown of Control. Without its spell effect and sneaking in according to the normal method, only legendary level thieves would be sure to get in. '

He compressed the crown's sensing range of evil spirits to a range of 100 meters around him. Once a devil entered this range, he would be able to detect it in advance. The reserved space of hundreds of meters gave him enough time to react. Once he sensed a devil, As he approached, he immediately began to use various methods to avoid encounters with these demons.

By escaping into the etheric plane, turning into a shadow, using the spider's ability to hang in the wall's blind spot, and using the crown's ability to detect thoughts, Nohir learned where there were traps, where a code was needed to pass, and what kind of code it was. .

Under these various means. He encountered almost no accidents. In just two hours, he managed to sneak into [Cold Breath Castle], which is the center of Stygia. The ruler of the entire city, the Ice Demon Grievous 's residence.

Nohir wants to find Haruman, and if he wants to find him in the vast hell, the easiest breakthrough point is the legion composed of Nightmare Demons under his command, and Gullivers, as Stan In Giya City, the city lord of this transportation hub, the navigation routes of ships in the city and the deployment of various armies must be approved by him. From this aspect, he is the most suitable person to obtain intelligence. As long as he uses the commander With the crown controlling it, Nohir can easily know everything he wants to know.

But now, Nohir, who had arrived at the castle, gave up the idea of ​​capturing him, because based on what he had seen along the way, he found that the ice demon named Gulliver was a bit stronger than he expected.

According to the information Nohir searched during his infiltration, he knew that this ice demon had ruled the city of Stygia for 600 years. It was extremely powerful and would conquer all those who dared to challenge it during these 600 years. All his demons were killed, and he had successfully killed a legendary Balor Balrog in that bloody battle in the abyss 20 years ago.

This is an incredible feat, and to be able to do this, Gullivers should have been promoted to a hell fiend long ago. But for some reason, this guy has always maintained the form of an ice demon. He has never He had asked for promotion, but even if his form had not evolved, Nohir would not have any intention of looking down on him.

Considering that this guy has been able to rule the city for such a long time and has brilliant achievements in the past, even Nohill is not sure that he can defeat him in a short time. If he cannot be controlled or subdued in a short time, then As long as he is discovered by Gullivers, he will be forced to launch a terrifying escape with countless demons chasing him.

It can only be said that the devil who has the ability to sneak into the lord of a city is really not a target, but it doesn't matter, the main target can't be achieved, and he also has secondary backup targets. [Cold Breath Castle] In addition to being the palace of the ruler, it is also responsible for the administrative center of the city of Stygia. In addition to the master Gulliver, there are also many servant devils in the castle. Among these devils, there must be something like a scribe. As long as he finds this kind of devil, or directly finds the archives room, he can also get the information he wants.

Nohir, who was under the castle, used the crown to find a blind spot where there was no devil. Then he shadowed himself through the belt and entered the castle through the wall.

The moment he entered the castle, he immediately released the small cloth temporarily stored in the space box. As a mini giant space capsule rat, this species native to space has the ability to survive in a vacuum, which ordinary people cannot survive. To Xiaobu, the space box was just a dark and lightless house. However, in order to avoid accidents, Nohir tried not to let it stay in the space box for too long.

Putting the little cloth on his body again and hiding it, he immediately began to carefully explore the castle. This time he shortened the crown's perception range by half. In this way, he could get a more sensitive perception. It also greatly reduces the possibility of being detected by powerful high-level devils.

After that, he continued to find a lone devil according to the old method. This time Nohir did not choose to kill him directly. Instead, he knocked him unconscious and directly controlled it with the crown, and then quickly browsed his related memories. .

In this way, Nohill successfully obtained the layout information of most of the rooms in the castle, and also successfully learned the location of the archives room. After obtaining these key information, he simply broke the devil's neck and prepared for Wang Guan's control ability left an empty space, then stuffed the body into the space box to destroy the corpse, and then walked directly towards the archives room.

As he walked, Nohill sorted out the information he just got from the devil's mind. Because the speed of reading the memory was too fast, he had not yet completely clarified some relevant details. After he sorted out these details clearly, Nohill There was also good news and bad news.

'Bad news, the archives room is only separated from the ice demon's office by a wall. In other words, if you want to sneak in and get the information under normal circumstances, you have to go under the ice demon's nose. Back and forth, but the good news is that the Ice Demon is not in the castle now. The guy left the castle two hours ago and went to the other front line to deal with the battle situation. If you are lucky, this period of time is the best time to obtain information. Good opportunity. '

'But this guy has been out for two hours. If the situation over there stabilizes during this period, he will probably come back soon. If he is caught by the returning devil at this time... I have to act quickly. . '

Realizing this, Nohir's actions instantly became bolder. He sped up the pace of his actions and quickly came to the door of the archives while remaining hidden. He also knew through the crown's ability that there were three evil queens inside. , he activated the shadowing ability of the belt again, turning into a black mist that floated into the archives room through the gap, and then he launched an attack.
