Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 356 The Great Blueprint
The crown's abilities are completely reversed, this is what Gotash came to the conclusion after conducting a three-day experiment.

Originally, the ability of the crown should be to control other people through the crown itself and the gems on it, but now it has become that no matter who wears the crown, as long as another person holds the corresponding gem, they can directly control the person wearing the crown. That person, but why? Why does the dignified artifact have such a ridiculous effect!

"Why is this happening? How could it be like this!"

The angry Gotash punched the experimental subject in front of him to the ground. After roughly taking off the crown from his head, he directly ordered him to roll as far as he could.

The remaining members of the Bann congregation did not dare to offend Gotash at this time, so they retreated directly after picking up their fainted colleague.

Gotash, with a gloomy face and a violent figure, kept walking in the basement. At this time, he had completely lost his previous calmness. The abnormal function of Karthus Crown hit him hard!
Now the alliance between him, Xie Nian and Kesric Thom has become in jeopardy. When the other two discover the strangeness of the crown, the alliance of the three gods of death will probably be dissolved!

"No! I can't allow this to happen! Ben will not tolerate failure, let alone such an ugly failure! This will make me a laughing stock, and Ben will abandon me because of this! Because I let Him down! I can't let him down! I have to find a way to save myself! How can I use this thing to remedy my flawed plan?

Gotash forced his brain to think in this direction and directly put this crown on the head of the Gond high priest? Then directly control the Gond believers and let them cooperate?

No! That's so stupid! Let alone whether it can be done or not, just the fact that such an obvious thing, such an inexplicable yet obvious thing appears on him is already conspicuous enough! Moreover, this is an artifact. The priests will definitely recognize the extraordinary nature of this item. The possibility of being seen through is extremely high, but the possibility of success is too small. If this artifact is lost as a result, it will be a real loss outweighing the gain.

Then use it to control those dignitaries? The nobles are not so vigilant, and generally have a unique fondness for this kind of novel, gorgeous and bright jewelry. The risk of controlling them is much smaller than controlling those priests.

If he could control a duke, he would definitely be able to rise to prominence in today's Baldur's Gate, and maybe he could fill the vacant title of a duke. However, the current Baldur's Gate simply does not meet the requirements. For the nobles with the conditions, one of the four Dukes is missing, one is dead, one is seriously ill, and one is retiring. It can be said that none of them are particularly good choices, so it is a pity that this plan can only be abandoned temporarily.

So……

One spark of inspiration flashed through Gotash's mind one after another, but he kept giving up. As time went by, his expression became more and more ugly.

"...It's not that there are no feasible plans, but compared to the previous plan to directly use the power of artifacts to clear all obstacles, the probability of failure of these plans is simply frightening. Although there are people I have deployed in Flame Fist, and there are quite a few The soldiers are all a bunch of losers, but they are not without their dangerous characters.”

There are quite a few military mages in the Flame Fist Legion, as well as garrison priests sent by the temple, and a few particularly troublesome high-level officers. With these guys around, with Gotash's current strength, it will be difficult for him to win over these people. The plan will be steadily advanced before our eyes.

Although he can seek help from Xie Nian. If Xie Nian can really provide help, it will definitely greatly increase his probability of success. However, it should be noted that he and Xie Nian are just allies serving the three gods of death. If If everything is entrusted to him, what value is he himself to evil thoughts? Facing this ruthless assassin, once Gotash loses his only remaining value, it means that he will not only lose his identity as an ally, but may also lose his own life directly, because he is no longer useful.

"Damn it, how could things suddenly get so bad like this?"

Gotash barely calmed down and covered his head with his hands. He had not yet decided whether to implement the plans he had thought of before. He realized that a perfect plan must take into account various possibilities. But these plans that were thought up in a hurry obviously failed to meet this requirement.

Gotash sighed with a headache, then left the basement, returned to his room, sat on his desk, and placed a third of the crown and gems on the table.

Gotash, who was leaning forward slightly, kept tapping the table with the fingers of his right hand, while his eyes were looking straight at the crown in front of him, falling into deep thoughts.

After five or six minutes, Gotash seemed to suddenly think of something again, and he took out a document from the drawer of the desk.

This document was exactly what Xie Nian brought out from hell. Seleritas completely translated the document after his resurrection. Xie Nian originally thought that this thing could be put together with the crown, so maybe there would be something Mysterious, but after careful inspection, he found that he was wrong.

The plan described in this document called the Great Blueprint is indeed very grand. It records the great dream of a crazy illithid lich named Blue Vertex who wants to restore the mind flayer empire. This illithid wants to pass through Infect legions of friends and foes with parasites, then use some powerful magic to suspend the mind flayer's tadpole transformation.

If successful, they would not only be able to create an extremely large hive mind through these new psychic connection points to strengthen their mastermind, but they would also be able to secretly control a large number of slaves for them to drive.

If this plan really falls into the hands of the illithids, and those guys with exposed brains find a way to delay the transformation of tadpoles, then maybe these alien freaks can really subvert the entire world, but it's a pity. This method only applies to illithids, and even if the illithids want to implement this plan, they must first find this so-called method of suspending the transformation of tadpoles.

To sum up, this plan was completely meaningless to Xie Nian, which made Xie Nian completely lose interest in this thing. After reading it hastily, he handed this thing directly to Ge who loves to use his brain. Tash.

There was no other reason why Xie Nian did this. He had no special expectations for this plan, but at this time, Gotash saw a key essence in this plan.
