Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 404: Noshiel's Will: The World of Soul

Noshir looked at the sound transmission stone in his hand with no news, and his brows couldn't help but frown. Master Jaheira had lost contact, which was not good news.

Originally, there were so many caravans passing through this road leading to Baldur's Gate that the guards of the caravans would often spontaneously clear the monsters on the road. This also resulted in there being no dangerous creatures on this road that could directly threaten them. If they had followed their original return route normally, there would be no chance of any accidents.

But now they are still out of contact, and when something that was originally impossible to happen unexpectedly happens, there is only one possibility, that is, Jaheira and the others did not take this road.

They might have already discovered something unusual at the Moonrise Tower, and even launched an investigation with the existing manpower, but then unexpectedly encountered some unknown danger, so they temporarily lost contact.

After all, apart from the Three Gods of Death, what else could threaten their group? So although there is no evidence to prove this speculation, he cannot ignore the possibility in this regard.

"Maybe the master is just busy, and this is just a false alarm of mine, but if my worries are true... Tsk, run faster! Mars, we have to speed up!"

The nightmare warhorse neighed loudly, increasing its already incredibly fast speed even further. Its flaming iron hooves left behind a series of charred hoof prints on the dirt road.

Noshil temporarily put the sound stone in his arms. If the master could contact him again through the sound stone after a while, that would be the best result. But if the master refused to reply for a long time, he would have to carefully consider the danger of this action again.

The loss of contact with Master Jaheira was a very dangerous signal. If his previous guess was true, it would cause two experienced legendary heroes, a devout believer who received Ilmet's personal blessing after returning to the Holy City and shouldered the responsibility of a hard journey, and a highly intelligent species from the outer star realm to all lose contact quietly.

The only one who can do this is the Mastermind who is wearing the Crown of Karsus. This is the worst case scenario, because Orin has already fallen into his own hands, and the evil thoughts will not encounter any accidents. This means that the control of the crown will be impeccable. The ending in the original work where the Mastermind secretly retains self-awareness and secretly plots a series of conspiracies will no longer be triggered, and the Three Gods of Death will completely gain control of the Mastermind! The Supreme True God Cult is about to rise!

If the situation really developed in the direction that Noshier imagined, then after arriving at the Cursed Land of Shadows, he would not even need to enter the Moonrise Tower to inquire about the intelligence of the main brain. After all, the situation has become so obvious. If he continues to move towards the Moonrise Tower, he will inevitably face the most powerful psychic creature in the world.

"Looks like I need to give myself some reinforcements."

During the previous period of time, Noshir had already found an opportunity to spend an incentive point to upgrade his career level to level 14. Now he has the ability to call upon the power of all beast spirits in a frenzy.

There is no doubt that this is a huge enhancement. The combined power of the three beast spirits, this extreme all-round increase even makes him have a mysterious confidence in his own strength. He believes that he is capable of defeating the main brain alone.

In order to adapt to this surging power, he chose to temporarily keep his career level at 14, which left him with three ordinary motivation points. Noshier originally wanted to keep them so that they would continue to help him quickly advance his career level after he adapted to this power, but now it seems that these points can no longer be kept.

The Mastermind is the most powerful psychic master in the world. His current means of protecting psychic energy are still not safe when facing a powerful opponent like the Mastermind. In this case, Noshier raised his right hand and aimed his eyes at the simple ring on his index finger.

"Panel, upgrade [Mind Shield Ring] immediately."

Three incentive points were quickly deducted, and lavender mental fluctuations appeared on his ring as halos. This upgrade brought a completely different vision from the other equipment upgrades. It was not until three seconds later that the vision completely dissipated, revealing the ring itself, which had changed greatly.

This originally jet-black ring has completely lost its original color and turned into a gorgeous silver. The hollow patterns on it are all filled with a purple gem material. The edge of the ring is also covered with purple gem rings, and 12 purple diamonds are inlaid at the intersection of the silver and white patterns. Its extraordinaryness can be seen from its appearance alone!
"what?"

Looking at the ring that had changed drastically, Noshir couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Including the axe he got some time ago, he has a total of three legendary equipment strengthened by motivation points. Using motivation points to upgrade equipment is already a piece of cake for him, but he has never encountered such a huge change when strengthening other equipment. Why is this happening to this ring now?
Noshier didn't know, but as long as the ring was strengthened successfully, if the change in image could enhance its ability after being strengthened, he wouldn't care even if the ring was turned into a bracelet by the panel, and he would even ask for more.

"Panel, check equipment information."

[Noshir's Will: The World of Soul Absoluteness]

[+4 Legendary Magic Items]

[Enchantment effects: No One, Absolute Barrier, Soul Barrier, Noshir's Soul World]

[Noshir's Soul World: There are 12 extremely tiny worlds in this ring, which are scattered in the 12 broken diamonds on the surface of the ring. The small world is constructed completely by spiritual energy. The small world can store spiritual energy and can be destroyed. After the small world is destroyed, it can be recast by spending spiritual energy.

Each small world can capture and store a whole soul, which the wearer of the ring can freely control. The device can only be used by a variant tiefling named Noshir Temariti.
[No One: After wearing this ring, you will not be able to be located by any non-divine spells, and your presence will be blocked. Even if you are right in front of others, you will not attract the attention of others. It will be as if you do not exist in the world. Only very few powerful targets can observe your traces. This effect can be turned on or off freely.]

[Absolute Barrier: Your soul and consciousness will be protected by this ring. Any attack on your mind will be transferred to another world by the ring, thus posing no threat to you at all.]
[Soul Barrier: The world in the ring has the function of nurturing and protecting the souls within it, and retaining their self-awareness. The souls collected in the ring will be in a semi-invincible state and cannot be eliminated by conventional means. Only by destroying all 12 small worlds at once can the souls within be completely destroyed.

However, the small world itself is extremely difficult to destroy, because it ignores physical attacks. Only the spiritual energy of the same origin can affect these worlds. Even if it encounters an attack that can destroy it, the small world will only break up one by one, and after breaking up, it will automatically transfer the souls in the small world to protect them from harm. ]
