Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 423 Moonrise Tower
"This is the Tower of the Moon. The height is really spectacular. The real thing is about 2000 feet high, right? It's much more exaggerated than in the game."

Noshir expressed this sentiment as he circled around the Moonrise Tower.

Starting from the Inn of the End of Light, Noshier flew for almost half an hour before finally arriving here. His flying speed was obviously very fast, and he also got a specific map and directions from Jasra. It took him so long without taking a detour. It seems that the radiation range of the Shadow Curse Land is even larger than he imagined.

"The people guarding this tower are also different from what I remembered. Not only are there more of them than in the game, but they have all been replaced by various undead creatures, including skeletons, ghouls, and bound spirits. This is really different. The guards in the game are mostly believers of the Supreme God who have been infected and controlled by the Mind Flayer Tadpoles."

Noshier remembered this very clearly. He also remembered that in order to allow these living entities to survive here, the necromancer Balthazar captured a lot of pixies and made them into moon shadow lanterns and arranged them on the periphery of the Tower of the Moon to prevent the shadow curse from spreading into the tower.

In the game, Noshir personally seized a portable lamp of the same type from a spider elf, but the current plot obviously has not progressed to that step, and the Pixie Lantern is naturally nonsense.

"However, although the current plot has not progressed to that stage, I estimate that it will be almost there. According to the progress in the game, after they put the crown on the main brain's head, they will discover the true power of the crown in a few days, and the plan for the Supreme God will be born quickly. But now, hehe."

After circling in the sky for several times and thoroughly memorizing the specific situation outside the Moonrise Tower, Noshir immediately folded his wings slightly and began to prepare to land from the sky.

After choosing the bridge at the main entrance of the Moonrise Tower as his landing point, Noshil began to descend rapidly at a speed that could be described as a free fall. But just as Noshil was about to fall to the ground, he immediately flapped his wings several times quickly.

The broad wings stirred up a small gust of wind and dust, but the reaction force brought about by this allowed it to quickly regain its balance. Noshir's feet made almost no sound when they landed, and his tail swung a few times before returning to calm.

He scanned the surroundings and saw clearly a group of undead skeletons walking past not far away from him, and a winged ghoul flew across the sky from time to time, but these undead creatures seemed not to have noticed him and completely ignored Noshir's figure.

'The ability to be invisible at the psychological level can even deceive creatures like the undead whose senses are different from those of ordinary living beings? It's surprising and interesting at the same time, but why is this? Why can this skill affect the undead who are not even living beings? Is it because this ability itself affects the consciousness level? '

Noshil's guess was correct. Although the undead are not living creatures and the way they perceive the world is very different from that of ordinary life forms, since the undead can still move in this world, it means that they are conscious.

Although consciousness may be weak, as long as there is a slight fluctuation of consciousness at the spiritual level, the psychological invisibility ability of this legendary ring can be successfully activated, causing them to subconsciously ignore Noshir. This also means that unless Noshir voluntarily dies, these undead will never be able to find him.

Only by actively running to the front of these undead and desperately attracting their attention, or even directly touching them, can they realize that something is wrong while their ability is still activated. However, as long as this ability is not actively removed by Noshir, even if they realize something is wrong, the loose mental power of those ordinary undead will never be able to find Noshir's body. He came to this conclusion through experiments. Before entering the Moonrise Tower, Noshir found a lone ordinary mindless ghoul in the wild. Through the selfless contribution of this ghoul, Noshir came to the above conclusion.

So even though the Moonrise Tower in front of him was completely different from the information he had learned in the game, and there might be unknown risks in the tower that he was not aware of, Noshir still did not worry too much, but just walked in through the main entrance of the tower.

"Ugh, there's a stench of corpses and moldy, rotting plants. The environment outside the cursed land is already disgusting, but the inside of this tower is even worse than the outside."

Noshir covered his nose in discomfort. It had been who knows how many years since any living person had lived in this tower. The environment inside the tower itself had become completely unsuitable for normal life activities. Just walking and breathing inside was a torture.

But Noshir had been through hell before, so this little problem with the environment was not enough to make him back down. After a few seconds, he got used to the torture of the smell on his nose.

Noshil looked around. After entering the Tower of the New Moon from the main gate, the first place he arrived at was an extremely large hall. In the game, a large number of believers of the Supreme God would gather here, whether they were senior believers or newly developed civilians, they could all be seen here.

In addition to these, there are also quartermasters who sell equipment and pharmacists who develop potions in the tower, but none of these can be seen in the tower today. Noshier only saw a large group of fully armed skeletons wearing tattered armor and swords.

These skeletons stood still as if they had received an order. The undead were lined up in dozens of rows on both sides of the hall, with more than 500 on each side.

Noshir could see that these skeleton undead were no longer ordinary cannon fodder skeletons. They should be a special elite undead warrior called "Reborn Duelists" created by the necromancer Balthazar.

In addition to the Reborn Duelists, there is also a type of Undead called the [Rogue Destroyer] who is half the height of the normal Undead and holds a giant iron club. There is also the [Death Shepherd] who is also tall, wears elite armor, holds a giant sword, and can resurrect normal Undead.

There is no doubt that the undead here can be regarded as the most elite troops under Kesrick. Considering that Noshiel does not have a complete set of flying ghouls and undead monks who can cast spells, the undead troops here are probably still not all the combat power under Kesrick. Those more powerful forces are either hidden on top of the tower, or...
