Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 80 Cause and Effect
  Ska nodded when he heard this and called Flame Fist as soon as he got evidence. Nohill's plan was indeed sound enough, but at this moment he suddenly reacted.

"Are you planning to infiltrate a Duke's mansion by yourself?"

Scar asked him in disbelief. A duke who might be colluding with the devil. The place where she lived was already very dangerous, and now this duke might even have something to do with the murderous sect. relationship, which makes this already dangerous action even more dangerous.

How could Nohir be so sure that he could do such a thing by himself?
  "Don't worry, I will plan the specific actions carefully, and it is not dangerous at all. Baldur's Gate prohibits the establishment of private armies. Even the Duke can only have a few bodyguards around him, not to mention if the Duke If there is really such a shameful thing, she probably won’t even hire too many servants.”

If the Duke really cooperates with the Devil and the God of Murder Order at the same time, then she is more likely to directly summon the Devil to station in the Duke's Mansion. After all, the Devil's discipline is indeed incredible. If it can be effectively controlled, it can be used The nursing home is indeed a good one.

"And you probably don't have to worry about there being assassins from the God of Murder in the Duke's Palace. Thanks to their notoriety, no one will let these assassins get too close to them, not even their collaborators."

This is a true story. Think about that crazy bitch in Olin. In the original world line, she stabbed Evil Thought in the back without hesitation. It can be said that it was her stabbing that caused the failure of the Supreme God’s plan. They can kill everyone, let alone others, and all the assassins in the Baal Order basically have this kind of virtue, and no one will completely trust them.

"So just trust me. Don't forget my past experiences. Although I haven't told you, but if you want to survive in the wilderness, you don't have good stealth skills. You won't survive that way."

"And I didn't say that I would act alone. You can meet me outside. After all, you are wearing this plate armor. It is impossible for you to sneak into the Duke's Mansion. Just wait for me outside. I will withdraw immediately when I succeed. "

Nohill said confidently, in addition to his confidence in his own secret skills, it was more because he had now guessed the cause and effect of the entire incident through this information. When the information was sufficient, he would naturally feel confident.

The first is the biggest suspect, Duke Salamara Vansampel.

If Nohill's guess is true, the Duke has probably been cooperating with the Order of the God of Murder for nearly 30 years. She used the Order of Murder to secretly eliminate countless competitors for her. As she rose higher and higher, she also Provide hiding places for these lunatics in the sewers she presides over.

This is the basis of their cooperation.

But as we all know, the believers of the God of Murder are a group of lunatics. Duke Vansampel had three husbands, but each of them did not live more than two years. Nohill suspected that these were probably the believers of the God of Murder. do.

As for why? Nohill guessed that it was probably to clear Duke Vansample's suspicion.

All three husbands died at the hands of assassins, so who would suspect that she was related to those assassins who had a grudge against killing their husbands?

However, it is possible that this plan was not the Duke's idea, but more likely the suggestion of those cult assassins, because this would remind the Duke who he relied on to get his position.

If they can kill your husband, they can also kill you. Under this invisible deterrent, Duke Vansample will become more obedient, which is more in line with the interests of the cult. In fact, this is also the most commonly used method by those cults. of "cooperation".

Duke Vansample probably hated those cultists because of this incident, especially after she became a duke with these assassins. Because she is already in a high position, she does not need the existence of these assassins at all. No, not only does she not need them, she also wants those assassins to die directly.

These madmen who believe in the god of murder not only threaten her personal safety at all times, but even her status is shaky because of these assassins. Their existence has made it difficult for her to sleep and eat. Her life, rights and status are no longer with her. Under her control, she must want to completely eradicate these lunatics, no matter what the cost.

However, because of her past experiences, her foundation is not clean at all, so she cannot use the regular forces of Baldur's Gate to eliminate these assassins. If that is the case, those assassins will definitely drag her to death before they die. Without the cover-up of those assassins, others could find out a lot of dirty information about her with just a casual search.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Duke will be blackmailed by them for the rest of his life.

She will spend the rest of her life in fear and become a pawn of the Baal Order, and now!
  A turning point occurred.

Zariel, the Grand Duke of Avernus, contacted Duke Vansample through some means and brought out the devil's trick.

A contract, a contract that pulled Baldur's Gate into hell. At the critical moment, Duke Vansample signed this contract without hesitation. Even if she let the city fall into hell, she would She wanted to make those cult lunatics pay a heavy price, and in order to achieve this goal, she needed to climb to the position of Grand Duke.

So she designed these assassins to do crazy things in Baldur's Gate. Such a crazy murder feast was exactly what the cultists wanted to see, so they happily accepted it, and the Duke also tried his best to help these assassins avoid the Flaming Fist. search and pursuit.

If this goes on for a long time, Urd Ravengard, the marshal of the Flame Fists, is bound to lose face, and may even have his status as Grand Duke shaken. At this moment, Duke Vansampel Start adding fuel to the flames.

She persuaded Ravengard to go to Eltoril to resolve the long-standing trade friction between the two cities. If this matter can be resolved, then many nobles will gain huge trade benefits, and those nobles will naturally Continue to support the Grand Duke and make his position as Grand Duke as solid as a mountain.

But what I didn't expect was that Urd Revengard was indeed a man of noble character. He only wanted to completely solve the high-frequency murders in Baldur's Gate, and did not want to divert the public's attention with other political achievements.

But as a grand duke, his will will often change due to other people, because the grand duke must listen to the opinions of other people to prevent himself from being arbitrary, and Duke Vansample's proposal, at least on the surface, is It looks like there are no flaws.

So even though it took her more effort, the Grand Duke was finally persuaded, and then the familiar Eltoril was dragged into hell.

This is almost the cause and effect, and it is also the most reasonable guess that Nohill can make. So if this guess is true, then Nohill should be able to obtain key evidence soon.

If there are really many devils in the Duke's Palace, it means that Nohill's guess is basically accurate, and if you want to deal with devils.

It’s time to fill the vacant gems in this crown.
