Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 355 Why

The evil thoughts were madly venting their beliefs, but at this time, Hershik had no time to care about him.

She didn't expect what was happening in front of her. The little thief who broke into the eighth prison could actually escape and ascend to heaven while activating the defense measures of Mephisto's treasure house?

She had never dared to think about such a thing, but no matter how unbelievable the fact was, it had already happened before her eyes. This sudden accident caught her off guard. Hersik's scalp was now numb!
"Hey! That Dragonborn, don't go crazy there! Regardless of whether your goal has been achieved or not, you'd better leave here quickly. I don't want to know what you got from there. I've never seen you before. After you step out of this room, there will be no relationship between you and Gotash!"

Hersik's words finally restored Xie Nian's crazy spirit. He looked at the dwarf in front of him with unkind eyes. He didn't know what he thought of, but a trace of saliva actually flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Hersik felt a huge chill at that moment, but before she had time to think about it, Xie Nian had already stood up, holding her broken left hand on one side, while her right hand was holding the crown, step by step He slowly opened the door and saw Gotash staring at him eagerly downstairs.

"How's it going! Did you succeed? Evil thoughts!"

The white dragonborn nodded silently and showed the three pieces of iron in his arms. Gotash knew that it was the crown he longed for! The legendary artifact of the Netheril Empire! The most precious treasure of the Ascendant Karsus!

"This is really... awesome! I knew you could do it! Evil thoughts!"

Xie Nian did not reply, because he was now seriously injured. Baal's divine power had transformed his body and gave him extraordinary vitality. However, no matter what, the divine power of the God of Murder could not have a healing effect. It would be better to say that on the contrary, the blood of God in Xie Nian's body suppressed items such as healing potions.

Because of the power of the God of Murder in his body, these medicines that could originally help others heal their wounds have no effect on him at all. This allows evil thoughts to slowly heal with their own self-healing abilities once they are injured.

Feeling the pain in his left hand, the deep-seated bloodthirsty desire of evil thoughts suddenly surged into his heart again, but he was soon suppressed by his own willpower. He knew that now was not the time to indulge his instincts. He urgently needed it now. Treatment, recovery.

So Xie Nian directly threw 1/3 of the crown in his hand to Gotash, while he kept the remaining 2/3.

Gotash excitedly took his share.

This is the distribution method they have discussed before. Because of the uniqueness of the crown of Karsus, each of them, the voters of the three gods of death, can get a part of the crown, although the divided crown will definitely not be able to use the full crown. Power, but even just this can provide a lot of help.

'Great, with this artifact, those damn Gond believers can finally shut up! I'll take full control of those damn dwarfs! I will gain a higher status with Iron Guard! I could even become... the hero of Baldur's Gate! Haha, that sounds really ironic. 'Gottash fell into endless imagination at this time. Ever since he obtained the whereabouts of this artifact in Raphael's Mansion of Hope, he has been looking forward to the arrival of this day, and today, his dream finally came true. Realized! Now that I have the artifact in hand, all the difficulties I once faced will no longer be difficult!

"It's time to go, Gotash. The owner here no longer welcomes us. Don't stay here for too long."

Xie Nian greeted Gotash, then put on his hood and turned around to leave. Gotash also put away his excitement, put the crown back in his arms, and left the devil's tip with Xie Nian, but although he was already on his way back , but the excitement in Gotash's heart was far stronger than the evil thoughts. After obtaining the crown, his smart brain began to think non-stop. He was thinking about how to use this crown to achieve his own goals.

'The crown of Karthus. It is said that those who wear this crown will instantly gain complete control over their own power. It is rumored that the crown of Karthus contains the magic network of Karthus created by Karthus when he ascended to the gods. With this independent set of magic nets, the wearer can even completely bypass the power of the goddess of magic, but can cast spells independently based on his own abilities. '

'This is the most widely circulated function of this artifact. I have to say that it is indeed very powerful, especially for a mage. It is an increase across the ages. But unfortunately, I am not a mage. Even if I have the magic weapon, The ability to cast spells through the magic network does not bring any fundamental improvement to me. When using this ability, I may even anger the goddess of magic. It is really not worth the gain, but it doesn't matter, the crown has another function, that function is truly useful to me! '

Another function that Gotash mentioned is that the crown has complete control over its own power. This ability sounds a bit difficult to understand. To put it simply, anyone who wears this crown can instantly understand themselves. Everything you master, whether it is physical action or mental development, the crown allows you to use it to the fullest extent.

It may not sound like much, but in fact this is just the passive function of the crown itself. The essence of this ability is not complete control over oneself, but the three words "control" at the end.

That's right, the wearer of the crown can not only completely control himself, he can even control others. Legend has it that Karsus once used those three gems that can increase and distort power to directly and forcibly plunder the divine power and magic network of the goddess of magic. This allowed him to build his own magic network, and he briefly became a god!
This crown can even be plundered by divine power and magic net! Not to mention controlling a few disobedient thorns, there is absolutely no difficulty!

But now that the crown has been split after all, with only 1/3 in hand, it is no longer certain what kind of role this thing can play. I have to experiment with it after I go back, but He had a hunch that this artifact would definitely bring him a huge surprise!

……

Three days later, Gotash, holding the gem, looked at the Bann cultist in front of him who was only wearing 1/3 of the crown, but had no self-awareness at all and was just passively obeying the orders of the gem holder.

Gotash was completely confused.

"...Why does it become like this?"
