Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 426 Boring
Catheric and Xie Nian must still be in this tower. They are either in a room at the top of the tower, doing something unknown to each other, or they are in the brain pool below, guarding the brain they control together.

After all, if his previous speculation is true, the current main brain is the most vulnerable in its life. In order for the subsequent plans to be carried out smoothly, the two Chosen Gods of Death have been guarding this brain all the time until the main brain accumulates enough power to protect itself. This speculation seems reasonable no matter how you think about it.

The method to verify whether this guess is true is very simple. As long as Noshir does not find Catherine and Xie Nian in the tower, it means that his guess is correct. These two chosen ones of the Three Gods of Death are really guarding the main brain next to the brain pool below.

And if he found them in the tower, Noshir would immediately drop everything he was doing, jump directly to the illithid colony below, pull out his axe and kill them! But...

"…But, isn't this tower too high? It's about 2000 feet high, about 600 meters high, with more than 30 uneven floors. If I really have to search floor by floor, room by room, I don't know how long it will take to find the information I want. In this case, there is no other way but to speed up."

Thinking of this, Noshil immediately abandoned his previous slow exploration mode. In order to quickly find out all the movements in the tower, he directly took out a bottle of vaporization potion from the space box.

The vaporization potion allows a person to maintain a vaporized state for a long time. Unlike the belt's shadow ability which will occasionally fall into a cooldown period, the duration of this potion is as long as three hours.

During these three hours, Noshier could completely ignore the doors and walls. Combined with the advantage of floating flight, this time was enough for Noshier to understand most areas of the tower.

……

A few hours ago, in the Tower of the Moon, in a simply decorated room, Xie Nian, who maintained the form of a white dragon, was leaning on a stone seat. At this time, Xie Nian was supporting his face with the claw of his left hand, while his right hand was constantly playing with a blood-red gem. The diamond-shaped gem flickered and danced in his fingers like a butterfly flying through flowers.

Looking at the flashes of light reflected by the gem as it danced between his fingers, the evil thought suddenly let out a deep sigh... He felt extremely bored. There were no corpses to stab, no blood to bathe in, and even this damn place didn't have his favorite roasted dwarves.

Life in the Tower of the Moon was really boring. He had had enough of such boring days. If he had not been injured in the head by the mental explosion unleashed by the deformed brain during the battle with the main brain, and had to stay here to recuperate for a while, he would have returned to Baldur's Gate with his pets and created chaos and fun to his heart's content on this crucial day.

But at this moment, a red blood drop magic circle suddenly appeared in front of Xie Nian's eyes, accompanied by a burst of red smoke, and an evil goblin with gray skin, sharp teeth and ears, a hunched body, and wearing a tattered butler's uniform and a butler's hat appeared in front of Xie Nian.

"Oh oh oh oh! Master! I have very, very, very bad news to tell you. Your killing kinsman is dead. That pathetic clown actually failed in the execution of her mission! She died at the hands of her target. It's so sad! So sad!" The evil butler could hardly control the sadness in his voice. Although the reason for his sadness was very different from what ordinary people knew, the emotion in his words was also extremely sincere.

If someone who didn't know his true face saw this scene, they might even be deceived by his performance, but Xie Nian was different. He knew his butler too well. All his skills were taught by this butler, including his thoughts and skills. Xie Nian even knew exactly why the butler was sad.

"Oh~ Are you telling the truth? Celeritas, although I always knew this day would come, that fool Orin actually died like this? Before I personally took her life? If this is true, it is really boring."

"It is true, my treacherous master, for poor Kruno is dead forever."

Kruno is Olin's butler, just like Xie Nian has Celeritas, Olin also has Kruno, the butler sent by Baal himself to assist him. However, Olin is a mentally ill fool. She insists that she does not need the assistance of a butler to truly serve Baal. So as soon as Kruno appears in front of Olin, Olin will cruelly stab him to death with a knife... or slowly do some more interesting tricks, such as using Kruno to practice his skinning skills.

"Olin has never been like you, my cruel master. She never treated her butler well. This has proved that she can only be a lowly hybrid! A granddaughter of the descendants of old Maibar, a dick hair under Barr's crotch! Such inferior products are far from being comparable to the noble blood in your body!"

"But even if she is such a bastard, she has her own mission! That is, on the day when you, the great master, truly come of age, under the witness of Baal, you will drink each other's blood. Of course, the final result will definitely be that you will drink Olin's blood! Although she is a piece of rotten stuff with impure blood, she is already one of the only three descendants of Baal in the world. Her mission is to help you better gain the favor of your father! But now... woooooooooooo!"

Celeritas actually cried with sorrow, this twisted and cruel little monster showed such true feelings, he really felt that Olin should die at the hands of evil thoughts instead of dying in some unknown place like a third-rate stupid assassin.

"Ah, what's wrong with that? Celeritas, let that idiot Orin die. Her death at the hands of others now fully proves that she is not qualified to fight me at all. At the final moment, the person who stands on the altar with me will definitely not be a fool like Orin."

Because of the news of Olin's death, his mood unexpectedly improved. Xie Nian suddenly stood up and walked to the balcony. His eyes were cast at the withered earth in the distance. Without turning his head, he silently spoke to Celeritas behind him.

"The will of the Father is absolute. The final moment will surely come, and the final killing ceremony will certainly be matched with a worthy opponent. Maybe it will be a new son of Baal, maybe it will be Shavlok. But no matter who the opponent is, he will be much more interesting than Olin, and this opponent will never be absent. Ah, Celeritas, this is really the best news."
