Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 552 Finishing Work
After all, the Astral Prism belongs to the Gis people, and as mentioned before, its value is simply immeasurable. So for Noshir, asking Orpheus for such a valuable thing would make him feel like he was repaying a favor.

But what Noshier didn't expect was that as soon as he opened his mouth to mention it, Orpheus directly handed him the Astral Prism.

Nosher asked Orpheus if he didn't know how valuable this thing was. But Orpheus said that no matter how expensive this thing was, it was not as valuable as the freedom and liberation of the race.

Orpheus said that if Noshir had not given this most precious gift to the children of Ghis, this thing would have been just a prison that restricted their freedom.

They had had enough of their time in there, and had no interest in locking up other compatriots to suffer in there. Instead of holding it in their own hands and recalling the past sadness every time they saw it, it would be better to hand it directly to Noshir.

If this thing is really valuable enough to you, Orpheus will feel better because it means that he has finally repaid some of Noshir's kindness.

This is what Orpheus said, and after hearing what Orpheus said, even if Noshir didn't say it, he still felt a little moved in his heart. It should be said that he was worthy of being one of the great men who successfully led the Gis people to overthrow the Mind Flayer Empire tens of thousands of years ago. Such noble character is indeed worthy of the name of Comet Prince.

Noshir accepted the Astral Prism and promised the prince that in time, after he had completely absorbed the legacy inside the Astral Prism and resolved the threats from the lower planes, he would definitely go to the Astral Plane to help them overthrow the brutal rule of Vlaakis.

During the tens of thousands of years that Orpheus was sealed, Vlaakith set his own name as the title of the supreme ruler of each generation of the Githyanki in order to consolidate his rule. She claimed that she was the 147th Vlaakith, but every generation of Vlaakith was actually herself. She had been faking her death to regain the position of supreme ruler again and again, and continued to use the name of Vlaakith to deceive the Githyanki people's faith, and in the past thousand years, her efforts have finally paid off.

Feeding on the Githyanki people's faith for tens of millions of years, Vlaakith has gained power beyond that of mortals. She has been tirelessly pursuing the power of gods, and this fanatical faith for tens of millions of years has finally allowed her to gain true divine power and possess unimaginable power.

But Vlaakith's paranoid spirit prevented the faith of the Supreme Queen from spreading. In the early years, in order to maximize the exploitation of the faith of the Githyanki, the so-called Supreme Queen kept claiming that the Githyanki were nobler than other species and were the undisputed ruling class in the world. The many worlds and races in the material plane were just back gardens for them to slaughter at will.

Vlaakis's actions indeed gave her unimaginable reputation among the Githyanki, but it also completely isolated her from the source of faith of other races, making her only able to draw strength from the Githyanki race.

This paranoid and stupid behavior eventually made her suffer tens of millions of years later. The incomplete faith directly led to the fact that Vlaakis was only a demigod until now. Even though she had always claimed that she was a real god, in the eyes of the real gods, Vlaakis was just a jumping clown.

From the Githyanki people's tens of millions of years of faith, she did obtain true divine power, that is, the power of faith, but she has not condensed the true divinity at all. No matter how loudly she declares that she is a real god, it cannot change the fact that she is just a false god.

But even if he was a false god, with the power that Orpheus currently possessed, if they faced Vlaakis head-on, they would definitely not have any chance of winning. However, if their actions went smoothly, then all this would be a different story.

Looking at the magic ships that were gradually passing through the silver-white star portal in the sky, and the three red dragons that had recovered from their injuries and were barely able to fly, Noshir silently wished that they could win the battle and quickly gather a resistance team that could compete with Vlaakis.

Noshiel, who is familiar with the original work, actually knows in his heart that in that distant star realm, there are actually many more Githyanki than imagined who are dissatisfied with the tyranny of Vlaakith and have been quietly planning a rebellion. Among these rebels, there are also those in high positions.

Even the true history related to the Comet Prince has been quietly circulating in the dark of Turanus. Just as Orpheus said, once they really raise the banner of the Comet Prince, these rebels who had originally only been able to hide in the dark and dared not reveal their true thoughts will inevitably stand up and join the Comet Prince's camp.

It is not easy to determine the winner between Orpheus and Vlaakis. As long as Orpheus does not lose his mind and directly challenges Vlaakis who possesses divine power, the two sides will be able to confront each other for a long time. Noshir must also take advantage of this time to complete what he should do and go to the astral realm as soon as possible to support Orpheus.

With this in mind, in the next two days, Noshir first helped Karak to fulfill her obsession in the Bodran Sea Tower.
Because of the different timeline, Karak returned two years earlier and her parents did not die, so compared to the timeline in the original book, Karak has lost less now. Therefore, she can keep her emotions in a relatively stable state when facing Gotash.

Rather than hating Gotash, Karak actually cared more about why he did this. When she learned about Gotash's childhood experiences, Karak finally felt a little relieved.

Karak finally understood the reason for all this, but she still didn't forgive Gotash's behavior. Of course, she would not agree with breaking other people's umbrellas just because she had been caught in the rain. She just put her mind at ease and knew why Gotash betrayed her. For Karak, just knowing this was enough.

After this, the Baldur's Gate officials also made a formal verdict on Gortash. The Four-Man Council officially issued a death warrant for Gortash in the name of treason. Noshir witnessed the death of this ambitious man at the execution site and confirmed that he was indeed dead and there was no possibility of him coming back to life.

However, almost at the moment of Gotash's death, Noshir's keen intuition suddenly flashed a chill, as if something was looking at him in the dark.

Noshier believed in his intuition, but after that, even though he had opened up his perception to the maximum, he still couldn't find where the gaze came from, and in the end he could only let it go for the time being.
