Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 454 Abnormal Situation
Because of his expertise as a wanderer, the complex underground environment did not hinder Nosir's return. Due to his strict memory of environmental details from his previous wandering life, even in such a harsh and lightless environment, Nosir did not encounter such embarrassing situations as getting lost.

His journey was extremely smooth. He did not encounter any sneak attacks from evil thoughts, nor did he encounter any monsters that reproduced underground. After just over an hour, relying on the Iron Predator's speed, which was not at full speed but still extremely fast, he successfully rode the Predator, jumped out of the intricate underground tunnel, and returned to the underground dungeon in the Moonrise Tower!
Noshil rushed out from the underground world, holding the giant axe in his right hand near 1/3 of the axe head, and supporting the huge head of the predator with his left hand. With his wings slightly spread and his legs bent, he crouched on the body of the steel beast cautiously and ready to go.

In Noshir's prediction, no matter how easy the process of returning from the underground world was, there would inevitably be a big battle once they returned to the sphere of influence of the Tower of the Moon.

After all, he had captured the king of these undead. As long as Catheric still had a little desire to resist and break free from control, the undead in the entire Moonrise Tower would not sit idly by.

They will definitely receive orders to intercept him, and the high-level undead in the Moonrise Tower will definitely control the thousands of undead in the tower to launch round after round of attacks on Noshir until they snatch Catheric Som back from them.

however……

"What's going on? What happened here? Where's the warm welcome I imagined?"

Noshier is now in the underground prison area below the Moonrise Tower. Originally, when he went down from here to the underground, there was nothing in this place. Not to mention ordinary creatures, there were not even many patrolling undead. After all, there were no prisoners to be looked after here, so it could be said that it was extremely empty.

But even at that time, there were at least one or two wandering skeleton undeads patrolling here in turns. But now, when Noshil looked up, even the skeletons that he remembered at the beginning had disappeared without a trace.

This situation is quite wrong. In Noshir's expectation, this narrow, dark underground space with almost no way out should be filled with various undead armies that are used to chase and intercept him. But now...

"Could it be that Jaheira and his men are attacking? No, less than a day has passed and they haven't recovered yet. According to the original plan, they won't come to the Moonrise Tower to harass the undead until tomorrow at the earliest."

Thinking of this, Nosher pondered silently for a while, but in the absence of any information, he really had no idea at all.

"How about... going up and taking a look?"

Standing on the predator, Noshir glanced at the spiral staircase in the distance. Through that staircase, he could go directly back to the interior of the Moonrise Tower, that is, the room full of gnolls. Perhaps as long as he got there, he would know what was happening in the Moonrise Tower now.

"The evil thoughts have inexplicably retreated, and now even the Moonrise Tower has experienced such abnormal things. Oh, this is really terrible. I feel like the current situation has begun to gallop in a direction that I have no idea of."

Noshier glanced at the spiral staircase in front of him, and then glanced at the shadowy corner behind him. He had originally expected that if he was surrounded after coming out, he would break out and escape in that direction, because in the game, walking in that direction would lead to a very hidden small pier.

The Moonrise Tower was originally built on the edge of a tributary of the Jonsa River, and the characters in the game can also take a boat to leave the Moonrise Tower. In the game, the purpose of this pier is to facilitate the players to evacuate the refugees imprisoned in the Moonrise Tower. From this point of view, the existence of this pier seems to be somewhat inconsistent with the logic of the real world, but in fact it is not the case.

Noshier had already confirmed in advance that this pier still existed even in this real world, and the reason why this pier existed was actually because it was the escape route reserved by the owner of the tower.

In the castle of this fantasy world, every castle owner must prepare one or even several such escape routes so that he can evacuate safely with his family when danger occurs. It is a necessity in a sense.

Noshier's original plan was to break out in that direction after coming out. Since he could fly, he didn't need to take a boat. He just needed to find the cave that could connect to the outside world and fly away directly. But now this strange situation made him a little unsure whether he should leave there immediately.

'No, I can't just let it go. I must know what happened in the Moonrise Tower. The plot of this world has been completely disrupted. Anything is possible. I must collect as much intelligence as possible so that I can prevent possible threats in the future and not be caught off guard by a sudden crisis.'

Noshier took a look at Catheric who was held by the predator. In order to prevent this guy from causing trouble, he specially asked his kitten to grill his whole body with charcoal before coming out. After such torture, it would be impossible for this guy to recover his fighting power in a short time.

However, to be on the safe side, Noshier decided to take him with him and was determined not to let this guy out of his sight even for a second.

In this way, Noshil rode on the predator, and the predator held Catheric in its mouth. The three of them walked up the stairs that spiraled into the tower one by one. When the predator's claws stepped on the stone bricks inside the Moonrise Tower for the first time, Noshil finally saw the mess inside the tower.

"...How should I put it? This is not the scene I imagined."

Noshil jumped off the head of the predator, and just as he landed on the ground, the pair of boots on his feet, which had become unusually clean with the help of the cleaning scroll, were stained with a thick layer of blood again.

That was the blood of the jackals, the little pets that were brought into this tower by evil thoughts and raised through self-mutilation and poison. But these little pets were now dead, and it was not the capricious evil thoughts that killed them.

Noshier bent down and picked up a tattered skull. Such bones were as common as the limbs of the werewolves that filled the entire room. In addition to these bones, there were some ghoul remains, the ashes left behind by dead ghosts, and some werewolf zombies that stood up again after sensing the presence of living people after their death.

These things have fully shown at whose hands these jackals died.

"Why are these undead spirits fighting with evil pets?"
