Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 305 Canoros Demon

Nohill was caught off guard by the sudden news. He had not found any information about the area below in the mind of the hedgehog demon before. The poor guy had no idea that the place where he had worked for more than 200 years was still there. There are unknown levels.

"It's really outrageous. After staying here for more than 200 years, I don't even know how many floors there are in the military factory. But these guys are devils after all. With their weird system, it seems that something like this will happen. Not surprising.”

The most essential aspect of the devil's centralized system lies in the extremely strict class. Low-level devils do not need to remember anything except the responsibilities they must remember. Only the management class has the right to know these things that should be known to everyone.

The hedgehog demon has never left the area on the first floor in more than 200 years. Even because the patrol area is on the periphery of the military factory, the information he has access to is even more limited, so this weird thing happened. Fortunately, this chain demon has helped him make up for the missing information, but this incident also reminded Nohir.

Although the ability to detect thoughts is useful, if the target being detected does not even know what the correct answer is, then the answers obtained based on this will only be wrong answers that mislead people. In addition, these low- and medium-level The devil at this level will definitely not know all the secrets of this factory, and he must be more careful in his next actions.

-

At this time, Nohir was making steady progress towards the entrance to the second underground floor. After controlling the chain demon, he did not stay at the same place. Instead, he used his helmet and spells to connect to the demon, arranging and mobilizing it. With the information in his mind, he gave the order to the chain demon to maintain its status quo and wait for new instructions at any time.

During this process, Nohill perfectly maintained the character he had established. He successfully approached the entrance to the second underground floor without arousing anyone's suspicion, and was then captured by a team of devils stationed there. Stop.

A group of hedgehogs wearing special armor and holding spears stopped Nohir. This was an unconventional special guard team composed of 12 members.

Its main members are hedgehog demons, numbering nine. The other three members are two hellish single-headed dogs with a keen sense of smell, strong bite force and the ability to spit hellfire, and a round body, lying on all fours, covered with... It has a unique carapace, no head, neck, face, eyes and ears, only a huge mouth full of sharp teeth and a tongue, with two tiny nostrils on the mouth.

The two hellhounds were led by chains by a hedgehog demon on both sides of the gate. At this time, seeing strangers visiting, the two hellhounds were a little restless. However, because of the restraints of the chains, Nohir was no longer like the devil. There was no difference in aura, and neither of the two hellhounds showed any obvious intention to attack.

The performance of Cerberus made these devils seem a little relaxed, but they still dutifully stopped Nohill. At the same time, their captain also walked out of the queue and shouted to Nohill.

"Stop, soldier, the road ahead does not belong to your jurisdiction. Please report your number, jurisdiction and purpose of coming here quickly. If there is no reasonable explanation, you will be treated as an intruder, and we will not be able to guarantee your safety."

Nohir lowered his head that was originally parallel to look at the opponent. Yes, the captain of this team is the Kanolos demon that does not look like an intelligent creature at all, but its actual IQ is higher than that of ordinary mortals. If someone who is not familiar with this kind of devil faces the current situation, I am afraid that they will immediately classify it as a kind of livestock like a hell dog when they meet, thus directly exposing it, but Nohill would have already He obtained relevant information, and the ability of the Monster Manual made him familiar with the abilities and characteristics of this devil.

As you can tell from the name, this kind of devil is also a type of yugoloth devil. Canoroth devils like to sign contracts to guard valuable treasures and important locations, because their abilities and characteristics allow them to engage in this industry. It becomes unfavorable.

Kanoroth possess keen senses. Although they have no eyes, they can pinpoint the location of invisible creatures around them. Once threatened, they will react unambiguously, stretching out their long, spiny tongues to grab the enemy. And pull it close, and then decide whether to disembowel it with its powerful claws or grind it into minced meat with their terrifying mouth, depending on the situation.

Of course, if it were just these skills, the two hellhounds next to the Canoros Demon would also be fully capable. These dogs don't even need a reward. They only need a mouthful of minced meat mixed with souls to ensure considerable loyalty. , hiring them is far more cost-effective than hiring Kanoroth Demons.

But Kanoroth demons have a unique ability that makes them far more suitable than any other demons for guarding treasure troves or important locations, and that is the ability to distort dimensions.

This ability is a natural passive skill. As long as there is a Kanoroth demon, with the demon as the radiation point, no form of space transfer can be performed within a radius of 300 feet (100 meters). That is, It is said that this kind of devil is equivalent to being born with a dimensional anchor. If a thief wants to steal a treasure house or cross a key location with the ability to travel through dimensions, this kind of devil will definitely make him suffer.

Nohir had seen this kind of devil before when he was in Stygia City, but because the things he took were not important, he didn't meet them directly. As a result, he still couldn't find the location of the storage warehouse after arriving here, so he had to Let’s deal with this perfect gatekeeper first.

"I am Kira with the number T4623. The main patrol location is in the smelting area of ​​T4. The main person in charge of our area, Lord Huss, was accidentally injured just now. It is inconvenient to move now. The Lord directly asked me to come over and inform the quartermaster. For this accident, I also applied for a fallen elixir to heal my wounds. This is Lord Hus’s token.”

Nohir said the words he had planned without changing his face, and took out the waistband he got from the chain demon. This kind of thing is also a symbol of status. The devil's position and number are recorded on it. He also has a waist card, which he got from the injured hedgehog demon.

In order to make this lie more true, Nohill even used the dream demon's natural transformation ability to turn himself into a hedgehog demon early in the morning. His preparations also paid off, and the Kanolos demon did not have too much If you doubt it, you probably believe Nohill's words.

However, due to limitations of his responsibilities, he still asked the person in charge what kind of injury he suffered and why he was injured. Nohill immediately told the reason he had thought about for a long time.
