Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 498 Reasons
"Just... just like that?"

Asdalen was stunned. He did not expect that the conditions proposed by Noshir would be so lenient. They only asked them to stay away from the crowd and not suck human blood. There were no other conditions at all.

Is this possible? Would anyone really be willing to do this? Think about it carefully, are these two conditions really conditions? He could have controlled more than 7000 lives and commanded them at will to gain benefits, but the man in front of him was so... unrequited.

This is not normal...

"Why...why are you doing this?! We are strangers to each other. We are just a group of pathetic, hateful villains who have committed heinous crimes. Why are you willing to give us this opportunity? Instead of just executing us!"

Asdalen spoke madly in an incredulous tone, he was not used to such kindness shown to him by Noshir, because his experience over the past 200 years had been telling him constantly that the strong only have dominance over the weak, they don't care whether the lambs are living comfortably or not, they are just useful slaves and delicious food to the strong.

This idea has become so solid over the past 200 years that it is even solid enough to be regarded as the truth. That is why Asdalen is so... distrustful of Noshir's goodwill.

He instinctively felt that this was just another evil trick that only a strong person could perform, just like the "wish" that Cazador had once promised them.

But Asdalen's survival instinct made him think, what if what Noshir said was true? What if he was really willing to help them start a new life in the Underdark? After all, he was the ruthless character who defeated Kazador, who had been torturing them, and tortured him to death. He was a hero who had done many good deeds in the outside world and was famous throughout the Sword Coast. Could such a person really have such a bad taste?
Asdalen didn't know, but he couldn't believe Noshir's promise based on one side of the story, so he had to ask, he had to ask Noshir why he helped them! Otherwise, he couldn't feel at ease!

"And them! Do you know what they are? They are vampires that feed on human blood just like us! There are nearly 7000 vampire spawn here who have been hungry for hundreds of years! Do you really think we have the ability to control and restrain them? What if they get out of control..."

"Why are you willing to take such a big risk and do such a thankless task? Why? I need a reason, an explanation! What if you did this for the same reason as Cazador, making a promise just to enjoy the despair on our faces while breaking it! And you have no intention of fulfilling the contract at all?"

At this moment, Asdalen even forgot the brutality that Noshir had shown when he executed Kazador. He just kept asking and questioning Noshir's suspicious behavior over and over again! At this moment, he even put his own life and death aside!

But Noshir, who was questioned, did not show any impatience. He just looked at him quietly. He did not get angry, did not explain, and did not use violence to suppress him. He just looked at him quietly, allowing him to vent his anxiety with words, until Asdalen vented all the depression in his heart and completely regained his sanity.

"me……"

After regaining his senses, Asdalen looked at Noshir who was calm in front of him, not angry at his verbal offense, nor punishing him for his disrespectful behavior, but just looking down at him.

Suddenly, he sincerely felt an extremely unfamiliar and strange touch. This feeling could not be described in any words. He just felt as if his heart was twisted into a ball, very uncomfortable, but at ease.

"I...I'm sorry,...I just don't think you can save us."

Noshir blinked his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but this time he finally spoke, he stretched out his left hand and pressed it on Asdeln's shoulder, and then said, "No one believed that I could pull an entire city back from hell, ... but I still did it."

Asdalen was stunned for a moment, and Noshir withdrew his hand and looked around.

The argument between the two had attracted everyone's attention. The other six derivatives on the periphery did not dare to approach, and the derivatives in the surrounding cages all stood up. They just watched and listened in silence, because they knew that the following conversation would determine their fate.

And just then, Noshir spoke.

"I know... every one of you has confusion in your heart. Just like Asdeln said, you don't understand what I'm doing now and don't believe that I can help you. The most important thing is that you think I have no reason to do such a thankless task."

Noshir paused.

"I don't really have a reason. If you insist on asking for a reason, I can only say that I just don't like what's happening and what Cazador has done."

Nosher paused again, and at the same time, slammed the ground with the scepter in his hand. The bat pendant pierced his chest, and Cazador, who was hanging on the scepter, also let out a painful wail at this time.

"I rarely leave enemies alive in battle, but Cazador is an exception. I defeated him and tortured him, just to prevent him from dying too easily. But I am not that cruel normally. People who know me say that I am kind and amiable, because I only show violence to those who need it."

The corners of the mouths of many people around twitched unconsciously, as if they were amused by the joke told by Noshier.

Noshir also smiled and then continued.

"I will not show any mercy to Kazador, the mastermind behind this. He will not die easily in my hands. But for you victims, if I happen to meet you, I will at least help you. Well, this is almost all I have in mind. As long as you nod, agree to my previous conditions, and are willing to cooperate, I promise to help you find a new home in the Underdark."

Noshir turned around, holding up Kazador, who was pierced by the scepter and hung up, and asked everyone around him.

"So...what do you think?"
