Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 396 The Truth
Just as Noshier expected, Olin did not come alone. He brought with him a team of 12 assassins, including four shapeshifters, six night blades, and two reapers.

This was already considered a very luxurious team configuration, but at this time Eltoril had just returned from hell. After experiencing such a horrible disaster, people were not defeated. Instead, they became more united. Everyone maintained 120% vigilance. When the riot broke out, it took less than 15 minutes for everyone to wake up.

Then, in less than half an hour, the news of Noshir's assassination spread throughout the city, but who was Noshir? He was the hero who saved the entire Eltor! He was the greatest contributor! All the people of Eltoril owed him a life! And this group of daring assassins actually dared to assassinate him!
There is no doubt that such behavior is enough to arouse public anger! No matter whether they are men or women, old people or children, all those who heard the news can still walk on the ground. As long as they can still lift swords and hold torches, these angry people can spread their footprints all over every street and alley!
In an instant, the whole city was brightly lit, and through the citizens' extreme search methods, coupled with the active actions of the Hell Knights, less than half an hour later, the group of 12 assassins including the shapeshifter had all been captured!

Even Noshir himself couldn't help but sigh at the efficiency of the operation. It was precisely because of such an efficient arrest operation that he was able to get the results of his interrogation as quickly as possible.

Although nine of the 12 assassins died during the resistance, these dead bodies were still able to speak. Through Lucius's art of communicating with the dead, although these corpses did not know any particularly critical issues, they still helped him piece together most of the basic information.

The skilled torturer in the city garrison also used his unique punishment to pry open the mouths of the three assassins. Although when the torturer was interrogating Olin with torture, that guy acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and even tried to threaten Noshir with all kinds of crazy words, but you had expected this and chose to ignore Olin's stinky mouth that was full of shit.

After piecing together basic intelligence information from those ordinary assassins, Noshir realized that a living Olin was useless. Afterwards, he did not give Olin any of the dignity that a legend deserved. This guy did not deserve it.

So Noshir simply chopped it in half with one clean axe, and then watched in silence as Olin, who was hung up, bleeds wildly. Only then did a hint of disbelief finally emerge in Olin's eyes. I haven't committed enough massacres in the mortal world to make Baal proud, and I haven't wrested control of the Baal Cult from evil thoughts. How can I... die here like this!
However, the facts cannot be changed by human will. From the moment of defeat at the hands of Noshir, his fate was sealed. No matter how unwilling he was, death was already a foregone conclusion. Olin died without any peace at all.

Then, Noshir used the high priest Lucius's art of talking with the dead to bring back the soul that had just dissipated, and learned some very crucial information from Olin, who was already completely dead.

The art of talking with the dead allows the dead to answer five questions, which is enough to obtain quite crucial information. Combined with the previous basic intelligence, this is enough for Noshir to piece together the causes and consequences of the attack.

"I see, that's why."

Noshil, who pieced together the cause and effect, showed a helpless expression. To put it bluntly, the cause of this incident was the return of Eltoril, which forced the Cult of the Three Death Gods to speed up the progress of their plan.

As early as half a year ago, the Murder Cult had been committing murders in Baldur's Gate in order to cause chaos and find opportunities to subvert Baldur's Gate in the chaos.

Originally, the sudden disappearance of Eltoril some time ago had already accomplished most of their goal. In addition, the Flame Fist was too alert recently, making it difficult for them to move, and even gradually slowed down the frequency of murders.

But now, Eltoril has returned, and the chaos and fear have been swept away along with the legend of the hero. This is very unfavorable for their next plan. They must find a way to make chaos and panic sweep across the entire North again like before, so that everyone will be overwhelmed. Only in this way can they quietly plan their own conspiracy in secret.

Noshir originally thought that during this period of time, whether it was Baal, Bane or the followers of Melkor, they would all focus all their attention on the plan of the Supreme God. However, in fact, the plan of the Supreme God that would appear in his mind in the future, in fact, up to now, Gotash has not completely proposed it, because they have not yet discovered that the crown has the ability to transform the main brain and give it the ability to produce alienated mind flayer tadpoles. So far, the current tasks of the Death Triumvirate are actually quite scattered, and they have not yet been completely united because of the main brain like in the future.

At this time, Gotash was dealing with the Flaming Fist's search in Baldur's Gate, while at the same time gaining control of a large number of factories in Black Harbor through violence, coercion, money, bribery and other means. The purpose of these factories should be to manufacture Iron Guards.

Catheric Thom quietly recruited an army of undead in the Cursed Land of Shadows, accumulating strength bit by bit.

As for evil thoughts...

Well, actually, Gotash has already come up with a crazy plan to control the main brain through the crown, and then use it to control the entire mind-thief community. However, Gotash's plan has just been implemented, and Xie Nian just took on this task seven days ago.

The same goes for Olin. She received the mission to assassinate Noshir seven days ago. As long as she could make this recently popular hero die in the city she saved, chaos and fear would inevitably spread like a hurricane throughout the North!

"Olin underestimated me, so the car overturned. Their plan has failed, but I actually caught up with such a point in time?"

It seems that my arrival has affected the development of the future plot. In the original time period, Evil Thought would be stabbed in the back by Olin at the moment he put the crown on the main brain, and the legendary dagger he had seized would pierce his brain, causing him to die directly or lose his memory.

But now Olin is dead, and seven days have passed since Evil Mind dealt with the main brain. This made Noshir start to worry. Has Evil Mind successfully put the crown on the main brain's head?
"Each complete mind-thirsting community has at least hundreds of core members whose professional and challenge levels are at least level 10. Each of these members is a master of psychic powers and is an excellent expert in controlling other people's minds and disrupting their brains. It is not easy to break through their protection and enter the lowest level of the brain pool."

"But evil thoughts are not easy to deal with. Without Olin, the traitor, he might be able to break into the brain pool more easily and put the crown on the main brain. This is all possible."

But if this really happens, then the original plot, where Olin's backstab caused a slight flaw in the control of the main brain, will not happen again, and this means that the Chosen of the Three Gods of Death will retain complete control over the main brain...

No! He had to speed up his pace, and it would be best if he set out right now and headed directly to the Moonrise Tower to check the specific situation there. He had to take advantage of the fact that the main brain had not been completely transformed by the ancient Netheril magic in the crown, and severely damage it first! Even eliminate this biggest threat!
