Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 524 Action
Raphael left, and after Noshil declined Raphael's invitation, the big devil who was always very patient temporarily lost interest in the conversation. So, accompanied by a burst of fire, he disappeared silently in the shadows.

But before he left, he still provided sufficient information. That guy Gotash really offended him badly. Not only did he steal his hammer, but even the real owner came to him and did not get any benefits. He was also forced away by force. For Raphael, a big devil, this was a shame that he would remember for the rest of his life.

For Raphael, Noshil was a tool to take revenge on them. In order to make this tool play a greater role, Raphael directly told Noshil all the news he knew.

This information includes Gotash's current hiding place, an underwater building called the Iron Throne, located overseas and not far from Baldur's Gate.

When Raphael said this, Noshir also remembered the information about that place in an instant. Yes, he knew that place, because the Iron Throne had appeared in the original plot of Baldur's Gate 3. In the original plot, Gortash transformed it into his private prison to imprison the families of those Gond believers so that they could devote themselves to building Iron Guards for themselves. Even in the original plot, Grand Duke Urd Ravengard would be imprisoned there one day in the future.

When Noshir was fighting against Catheric and the Mastermind at the Tower of the Moon, he had quietly overheard news about the Iron Throne from Evil Thought. However, because that place was too far away from the land and the specific location was unclear, Noshir himself had no time to search for it.

He has been busy digesting the motivation points he had obtained before and strengthening his own strength recently. He thought that nothing would go wrong if he delayed it for a few days, but Noshir still ignored Gotash's ability to cause trouble. Fortunately, it is not too late now.

In addition to the news about Gotash's current hiding place, Raphael also provided another important piece of information, which is that the Astral Prism has been confirmed to have been obtained by Gotash and his men.

The one who took action was still our old friend, Xie Nian, because Olin in this world had completely lost the opportunity to cause trouble. Xie Nian, the legendary assassin, also played the role as in the original setting. No matter what plan Gotash had, as long as Xie Nian was by his side, the plan had the possibility of being successfully implemented.

Raphael also told Noshir that Evil Thought successfully stole the Astral Prism last night. Considering that his timing was almost perfect and the strange difference in the flow of time in the Astral Realm, Raphael speculated that Vlaakis's Red Dragoons would arrive at Baldur's Gate tonight at the latest, and Gotash would definitely take the opportunity to try to talk to Vlaakis in secret at that time.

Considering that their alliance methods are rather crude, there’s a high probability that the talks between the two sides will break down. But even if their deal fails, it’s unlikely that Vlaakis’s Red Dragoons will simply teach thieves like Gotash a lesson. The Githyanki are a race known as astral pirates.

Under the leadership of Vlaakith, they have lost the self-sufficiency that a race should have. Now the Githyanki can only ensure their survival by plundering races from other planes. And this time of unprepared war, these guys will definitely not end so anticlimactically.

The Githyanki have an absolute advantage in military force. Vlaakith only needs to send out three red dragons, and Baldur's Gate will completely lose all resistance. They will definitely devour the flesh and blood of Baldur's Gate until they are full, and then they will ride on the back of the red dragon and fly back to the astral plane. And this is the outcome after their negotiations broke down.

If Gotash could use his eloquence normally and convince Vlakis to reach a consensus on both sides, what kind of consequences would that have? Noshir didn't even dare to think about it. He had to take action.

After Raphael left, Noshir quickened his pace. He cleared out the possible threatening species in the cave as quickly as possible, informed Asdalen and the others of everything that should be explained, and gave the petrified lizard egg as a gift to King Snitker, hoping that this gift of friendship could soothe the spirits of both parties to the greatest extent.

After that, Noshir kept Mizola here and asked him to deal with all the problems that might arise in the future. He also gave Mizola the money and land deeds left by Raphael. If they encountered problems that could not be solved by conventional means, these things would also give them a way out.

After that, Noshir quickly returned to Baldur's Gate. After he settled Asdalen and the others, the panel gave him another mythical incentive point as a reward, just as Noshir expected.

And with this mythical motivation point named [Into the Depth of Darkness], he has completely gathered everything he needs to move forward. A total of nine mythical motivation points are enough to sublimate his three most powerful specialties.

According to the original plan, Noshir should now find a quiet place to digest all these mythological motivational points, so that he can soar into the sky and gain power comparable to that of a god as a mortal!
But unfortunately, now is not the time to do these things. The threat of the Githyanki is imminent. He must deal with these problems first before he can use the power of the mythical inspiration points with confidence.

After all, he had never used this power before. He was not sure how long it would take for the mythical motivation points to successfully sublimate his expertise. He was also not sure what the consequences would be if he was disturbed or even attacked by others in the process. These were questions he could not know and did not want to confirm personally.

So when Noshir returned to Baldur's Gate, he immediately took action. Noshir did not disturb his old teammates. At the turn of the new year, everyone was busy and had their own things to do.

Since Karak joined the Flaming Fist, the team she led has become the most enthusiastic and busiest team in Baldur's Gate. There are countless things to do every day. Others may find it troublesome, but Noshir thinks she enjoys it.

Scar is still carrying out the unique traditions of the Holy Knights, and through such good deeds, his power is even increasing day by day, although Scar is definitely not doing this for the sake of power.

Minsk... Well, Minsk is fine, but Noshil always feels that as long as he takes him with him, he will never be able to ambush Gotash and the others successfully. It is very dangerous to deal with the Chosen Ones. Currently, only Skar, Minsk and Karak are capable of acting with Noshil in Baldur's Gate, but even they cannot guarantee that they can be safe and sound within the sight of the gods.

Considering such dangers, Noshier thought about it and finally decided that it would be more convenient for him to go alone than to act in a group. At least if he was alone, his infiltration would be less likely to be discovered.

-

Noshier left the dark and gloomy environment of the Underdark, and after several days, he finally saw the scenery of the earth. At that moment, Noshier felt an indescribable tranquility, but soon, the sun hanging in the sky was telling him clearly that today's day would be completely over in just a few hours.

Before the night falls completely, the red dragon of the Githyanki will light up the entire city. He must kill the two troublemakers before the Githyanki arrive.

This means that he must fly directly from Dusthawk Mountain to the sea off Sword Bay within two hours, then dive into the sea and rush into the Iron Throne. Obviously, Noshir does not have much time left, but this problem alone is not a problem that can stump him.

Since completely mastering the power of infinite violence, Noshir can always maintain himself in a specialized combat state based on a certain beast spirit, with a basically infinite duration. This means that Noshir can always stimulate the power of the eagle totem to the maximum extent, allowing himself to obtain a pair of eagle wings again.

Combined with the wings he already had, the four wings could maintain a speed of 90 meters per second, and if he tried hard, he could even increase it to an ultra-high speed of one knot. With this speed, Noshier successfully arrived near the target sea area in less than half an hour.

After that, Noshir immediately lifted the Eagle Totem's violent state, and the gem on the Crown of Domination also emitted a red light at the same time. With a flash of light, the only thing left in the sky was a fish that looked very harmless and had a wise look in its eyes.

thump.

The wingless fish instantly fell into the sea, creating a wave that made it seem invisible. But even less visible than the wave was the fish itself, because the moment the fish entered the sea, it disappeared without a trace in the ocean like transparent glass.

The fish naturally couldn't be a fish, as his crown was limited to plundering the souls of demons only. But his crown had another function, which was to twist these captured demon souls together and transform them into another creature. This fish was the biggest reason why Noshir dared to ambush and attack the two chosen ones alone. It was also the fundamental reason why he was able to find the Iron Throne and was confident that he could sneak in without anyone noticing.

-

The transparent fish patrolled the sea area at a speed that was fast enough to be called swift, without anyone being able to sense or notice it, and this patrol did not last long.

Thanks to the huge size of the Iron Throne itself, when the fish that Noshir transformed into finally broke through the obstruction of the sea water to his vision and observed the outline of the Iron Throne from thousands of meters away, he immediately swam up silently. After patrolling along the Iron Throne, he selected a section of complex pipe exposed to the outside, and finally swam along the pipe into the seawater filter inside the building.

This was a sealed barrel-shaped iron box. As soon as Noshir came in, he recognized what the box was used for. He also discovered that the pipes connected to the outside of the box were not enough to support a creature of his size to pass through. But it didn't matter. This problem still did not pose a problem for him.

Almost in an instant, the fish that Noshier transformed into was immediately covered with a layer of black light, and in the next moment it seemed to disappear, directly penetrating the iron barrel made of brass.

After passing through the iron barrel, the fish did not fall to the ground with a bang. Instead, it suddenly deformed violently the moment it came out, turning into a standard humanoid creature, and then immediately shrank back into the darkness. The whole person, along with the equipment on his body, became completely transparent.

He maintained this form and began to wander around the underwater barrier made of brass and wire fences, as well as huge glass panels, to carry out the advance reconnaissance mission.

Although Raphael swore before leaving that every word he said was true, Noshir had to see with his own eyes that his target was hiding here, and at the same time make sure that there was no innocent person in this place before he could feel completely at ease to make a big fuss in this place.

Noshir was strolling around like this, silently feeling his current situation. The form he was in now was a chimera form specially designed by Noshir himself, which could be used for lurking, exploring, collecting, and even fighting in any terrain.

In order to ensure that this form has enough abilities, and to prevent negative effects from having so many abilities, Noshier deliberately chose the Nightmare as the basic template.

The reason is that the nightmare race has a powerful transformation ability that allows them to switch genders. This means that this race has a very high tolerance for transformation and can withstand as many special abilities as possible.

Noshir thought so and did so, and finally succeeded. His current body not only possesses an almost omnipotent transformation ability, but also successfully added the [Invisibility Field] of the Stalker, the [Limited Magic Immunity] of the Rakshasa, the [Incorporeal Movement] of the Shadow Demon, the [Latitude Lock] and [Intuitive Sense] of the Kanoros Demon, and the [Low Presence in the Dark] provided by a very rare devil named the Evil Toad Demon.

These abilities can better help Noshier accomplish his lurking goals, especially the last one, but it's hard to explain how it can reduce his presence. However, with the help of these abilities, Noshier did complete his reconnaissance mission very easily.

He was sure that Xie Nian and Gotash were really here. With the intuitive sense of the Kanolos demon, Noshir could feel that the two of them were now in the same place, and there were a large number of other people around them.
