Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 430 Going deep underground
This means that Gotash has not been killed by Karak's giant hammer or imprisoned until now, but now it seems that he has obviously escaped.

However, through the background of the crystal ball, Noshir could see that there was a brass wall behind Gotash, and this feature probably meant Gotash's current hiding place.

Noshil had begun to become interested in the conversation between the two men. He focused his mind, concentrated 120%, and began to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two men.

The mist of invisible substance was just on the opposite side of the evil thought and did not attract anyone's attention. The stench of burnt corpses in the room also well concealed Noshir's trace.

“…Maybe I am indeed much weaker now, but Xie Nian, you must never forget that I am the initiator of this plan.”

"Haha, now that the plan has been carried out, I can no longer see where this plan still needs you? Apart from the stone that is still in your hand, can you provide any other help? Gotash, you are useless now. Maybe I should go back right now and take back the thing that is completely useless in your hand..."

"Stop making useless threats, Xie Nian. You and I both know that without me as our think tank, this plan won't go far. You still need me, because you know that my wisdom is the weapon that unites the three of us. Without me, this alliance will completely fall apart the next day."

Xie Nian was silent for a while. Gotash was right. Without him, this alliance could not even be established, and Catheric would never allow himself to master the two Naiser gems.

"...Then why are you contacting me now? Don't say anything stupid about helping you return to Baldur's Gate. I can't do that right now. You should just stay in the sea and wait for everything to end..."

"No, although the Iron Throne has been repaired and is now habitable, due to the urgency of the situation, the remaining believers and I did not bring much emergency food. It won't be long before we run into a shortage of food and water... I need support, Xie Nian, I need you to help me find a sufficiently concealed hiding place on land, so that I can have time to continue using my brain to rescue us from our current predicament."

When coming to the Iron Throne via a submersible, Gotash brought with him a large number of devout Bane believers. Among those believers there were naturally priests. Although they were priests of Bane, they still had no problem casting some simple water-making spells. However, the water problem could be solved, but the food problem was not so easy to solve.

The guy Red Hammer has been complaining that the Shahua fishmen outside this sea area have been trying to break in here, and because of the interference of these Shahua fishmen, even if they want to go out to sea to fish through submersibles, it is difficult for them to harvest enough fish to feed more than 50 people.

Moreover, being forced to hide here is too suffocating. Although this place is far away from the center of the storm and is very safe to a certain extent, Gotash wants more than just safety. He needs to stand in the center of the storm so that he can change the world at will. But now he is oppressed in this narrow cabin like a stray dog.

"... You're always giving me problems. I had already figured out what to do next, but you, a bastard, actually interfered at this moment..."

"No matter what you wanted to do before, helping me will definitely be worth it. We have always been unbreakable allies, Xie Nian. It is because you believe in this that you will continue to cooperate with me, right?"

"...One day, I will make up for the fun I lost from you."

"Is this a sign that you are willing to help?"

"...Don't force me to take out your intestines, Gotash." Gotash stopped talking and smiled, nodding in understanding. Knowing the nature of evil thoughts, Gotash naturally knew that this was a signal that he agreed to help, which undoubtedly made Gotash breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ha... you know what? Xie Nian, I have always been very interested in the plan called the Grand Blueprint that you brought. Ever since I finished reading that book, I have always had a strong premonition that we still have not developed the full power of the Mastermind. I have a feeling that if we can fully stimulate the potential of the Mastermind and the potential of the Crown of Karsus, then we may really be able to recreate the so-called Grand Blueprint, our own Grand Blueprint."

……

The conversation between the two ended quickly, but although the words were short, the content revealed in them really surprised Noshir.

"Iron Throne, I remember that place was converted by Gortash into an underwater prison, and now he is hiding there... We must tell Karak and the others about this before Gortash moves to a new location."

Nosir slowly slipped away from the gap again. Because Xie Nian did not mention Nosir himself during the previous conversation, he did not know that Xie Nian had already targeted him before. Gotash came to Xie Nian for help at this time, which to some extent helped Nosir temporarily avoid the risk from Xie Nian.

However, Noshir himself was naturally unaware of this. In fact, even if he knew, he would not be grateful for this unexpected assistance from "Gotash". It would be more interesting if he could really find a chance to fight against the evil thoughts. But now...

Having obtained the key information, Noshir quickly left Xie Nian's room, quietly pondered the two people's words in his mind, and then quickly searched the remaining rooms on the floors. Finally, he floated out of the tower in the form of cloud, found a secret place and turned back to his original form, and then used the sound transmission stone to inform Consultant Florek who was far away in Baldur's Gate of this information.

Although Noshir didn't know whether Baldur's Gate had the ability to dive to that depth to find Gotash hiding in the sea, he still shared this information. Even if they couldn't go down to search for him personally, the official force of Baldur's Gate could strengthen the coastal defense to some extent.

This is mainly done to prevent Gotash from quietly landing from the coast to the inland of Baldur's Gate. As long as he can be locked in the deep sea, he will naturally have no time and energy to make trouble. In this way, when Noshir is free, he can deal with him personally.

"Okay, the message has been sent. Next we need to explore the bottom of the Moon Tower."

After doing all this, Noshil took out another bottle of gasification potion and swallowed it, then quickly moved towards the stairs that he had previously explored, which led directly to the dungeon under the Tower of the Moon.

Noshir's real goal is the mind-thirs colony, but unlike in the game, the Moonrise Tower in reality has undergone such great changes, the real mind-thirs colony may be even worse than the one seen in the game.

If Noshir wants to go deeper into there, he must not only be physically prepared, but also mentally prepared in advance. The danger, horror and disgust of that place may be far beyond his imagination.
