Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 535 Orpheus
Nosher folded his arms, crossed his legs, and spoke so easily to the Gis people beside him. The Gis people beside him also shifted their eyes deep into their skulls, listening to the continuous cheers coming from afar.

An idea also arose in the minds of the Gis people who stayed here to guard Noshir, but before their idea could completely emerge from their minds and be spoken out of their mouths, they saw the real scene that they had imagined countless times over the past tens of thousands of years.

He was a man surrounded by many Gis people, wearing a purple robe and many thin, hollow metal pendants on his body. He had a gentle and friendly face, no hair, but a beard combed into eight neat braids, and a hollow crown on his head. There was a unique charm in his every move, as if he was one with nature, and he had a unique feeling of being extraordinary and holy whether he walked, sat or lay down.

"Could it be true? It's really true!!!"

"Comet Prince! Are we finally going to be free?!"

"SHA! VAH ORPHEUS!
SHA! VAH ORPHEUS!
SHA! VAH ORPHEUS (Hail! Orpheus)!"

In an instant, all the people of Ghis forgot their depression of ten thousand years. They all tried their best and used all the celebration methods they could imagine to celebrate the return of Orpheus to the greatest extent!
They rushed to get closer to Orpheus, but stopped spontaneously when they were still some distance away from him. However, the expectation in their eyes was pressed on Orpheus bit by bit. They wanted very much to hear the voice of the Comet Prince again and his teachings again.

However, what they did not see was that in addition to the undisguised gentleness and kindness in Orpheus' eyes, there was also a hint of pain and regret. He looked at his subordinates who trusted him, and recalled the wrong judgment he had made ten thousand years ago, and the ten thousand years of imprisonment.

During the ten thousand years of being sealed, Orpheus could always hear, see, and sense the words of his guards. He also knew that during these ten thousand years, his guards did not actually blame him, but such a mistake was too tragic, and Orpheus had no idea how to face them.

But fortunately, Orpheus had his friend by his side, his most loyal captain of the guard, Li Rick. This old friend always performed his duties steadfastly and never blamed Orpheus. This greatly comforted Orpheus's heart. As the true orthodox ruler of the Ghis people, Orpheus also possessed the practical qualities that all leaders should have. So after a brief depression, Orpheus quickly regained his form.

"GITH'KA TAVKIM KRASH'HT (May the light of Gith guide us), my people."

Almost as soon as the prince finished speaking, the people of Gis responded enthusiastically.

"His Majesty!"

"SHA! VAH ORPHEUS!"

"Prince Comet!" The people of Ghis were in an uproar again, but this time Orpheus waved his hand, and many Ghis people immediately restrained their overly excited mood, waiting for Orpheus to speak again with great excitement, and at this moment, Orpheus continued to speak.

"I'm sorry. It was because of my fault that we were forced to spend tens of thousands of years in prison. It was a difficult time, a desperate torture that seemed to never end. But today, thousands of years later, we still persevered until hope arrived."

As Orpheus spoke, he took the Hammer of Orpheus that gave him liberation from Li Rick beside him, and then slowly walked forward. The Gis people in front of Prince Comet also spontaneously made way for him, until Orpheus personally walked up to Nosir and handed the hammer back to Nosir with both hands.

"Noshir, our great friend, if it weren't for your selfless and great act, we might have been imprisoned in this place for countless thousands of years. But because of you, we can finally end this long torture and devote our lives, which have been wasted for countless years, to the mission that we should have completed long ago."

When Orpheus said this, he turned around and looked at the good men who had followed him ten thousand years ago. The elite guards who once formed a whole legion of 1000 people now only had these people in front of him, less than 500 people. Orpheus' heart ached again, but even so, even if they only had these forces left, Orpheus still made up his mind.

"My friend, the Gith people will never forget the hand of friendship you extended to them. You freed me, which means you freed the seeds for all Gith people to break free from their shackles, and you have done a great favor to the Gith people. In the years to come, we will all dedicate our lives to the great mission of fighting against Vlaakith, liberating all Githyanki from the tyranny of the Lich Queen, and bringing all the people back under the banner of Gith."

"And all this is because of you, my friend. We will remember your name and carve your name on the stone tablet passed down from generation to generation. We will call you MLA'GHIR, the Liberator! This title will represent your eternal kindness to us. One day in the future, when we overthrow the brutal rule of Vlaakis, the Gis people will become your eternal friends."

After Orpheus finished saying these words, Noshil took the hammer he handed back with both hands and put it directly into the empty box. The other Gis people present also cheered. Noshil waited until the cheers gradually died down, and then slowly spoke to Orpheus, who was almost the same height as him.

"You are too polite, Your Majesty. I just happened to get a good enough hammer by chance. I don't deserve such a great honor."

Nosir waved his hand at Orpheus modestly, but Orpheus raised a gentle arc at the corner of his mouth and spoke to Nosir.

"Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, it cannot erase the contribution you made to us. The promises of the Gis people are as good as gold, and there is no reason to take back the oaths made. But... my friend, there is still something unclear in my heart. You..."

"Let me guess, Your Majesty. You probably want to ask me, since I already know the history of the Gith people, why do I still have the courage to get involved and do something that will definitely anger Vlaakis and may even bring myself a major disaster... In fact, it's very simple, Your Majesty, because my homeland has long been targeted by the Lich Queen."
