Chapter 263 The Savior——Olin!!

Gotash had reason to be angry, even furious.

Or rather, he was so furious when he just woke up and heard the worst news.

It wouldn't be completely unexpected, but the thing he was most worried about did happen.

"Crazy! Really crazy..."

Walking back and forth in the room, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, the man took several deep breaths, but still couldn't help cursing out loud.

"Does this lunatic know that acting impulsively like this will only ruin our business?"

His hands were clenched into fists. Anger and disgust made Gotash unable to calm down, which was unusual, especially when he heard the chaos outside.

According to the guards' successive reports, Baldur's Gate should not have been truly threatened yet.

The current chaos was simply unexpected, because no one expected that a group of cultists would be lurking in the city, suddenly attacking and causing destruction everywhere.

That's why it caused a brief chaos and disturbed the citizens...especially those in the upper city.

Although it has not been resolved yet, according to the situation, it has been brought under control, and those cultists who are obviously mentally abnormal are currently just fighting desperately and struggling to their death.

I believe that it won't take long before it is completely suppressed and will not cause any trouble.

——This is indeed good news.

——But for Gotash, the news couldn't be worse.

After dismissing his personal guards, the cult leader's face turned almost completely black. He would rather the cultists took down Baldur's Gate directly than see this situation.

After all, if we could capture Baldur's Gate directly, we would have completed a large part of the plan...

Instead of being stuck here like now, exposing the existence of the Supreme True God Sect in advance, but not getting any results...

What good will it do to alert the enemy?

No matter how you look at it, it does more harm than good!
It was for this reason that Gotash immediately locked onto that crazy woman Orin and determined that she was the one who did it! Because she had no brains at all!
"No! I can't let all this be ruined by this crazy woman!"

The man finally calmed down, listened to the noise outside gradually becoming smaller, and quickly thought of a few contingency plans to deal with the current changes.

only--

When he secretly contacted Olin through his own channels, there was no response from the other side.

Pong! !

He could no longer hold back his anger and heard the sound of something breaking in the room.

Listening to the cursing and vicious curses coming from inside, the guards outside the door looked at each other in confusion.

Isn't the situation already under control? Why is Lord Gotash still so angry?

………………

………………

Gotash's defense was somewhat broken.

But it was indeed a misunderstanding.

After all, in his opinion, all these stupid things were caused by that crazy woman Olin. Now that she can't be contacted, it proves that it was indeed that heavyweight idiot Olin who was causing the trouble.

This is undoubtedly the evidence.

However, in reality, at this moment, he subconsciously believed that Olin was the culprit of everything, and ignored other possibilities.

For example...

Olin didn't go out to cause big trouble, but he got into big trouble.

………………

………………

Outside Baldur's Gate, where the chaos gradually subsided -

Feilong Pass spans the Chongsa River, and two bridges extend north and south from the Flame Fist Fortress of Feilongyan.

Unlike most bridges in the Realms, a myriad of different structures are built above this intersection, ranging from elaborate multi-story shops to small vendors.

The bridge stands on a huge arch, providing ample passage for marine traffic.

It is spacious enough for overland travelers to pass many of its buildings and follow the road into Baldur's Gate, and all goods arriving in Rivington by land are taxed here.

Because of the riots in the inner city, even though Feilong Pass was not attacked, the atmosphere also became tense.

The Flaming Fist mercenaries patrolled everywhere nervously, and at the same time sent troops to Baldur's Gate for support.

But in such a tense atmosphere, no one noticed——

Right at the top of the Flaming Fist Fortress, in the howling wind, an unusual "interrogation" was taking place.

"It's actually a phantom spirit. Interesting..."

Xia Zhi looked at the female captive in front of him with interest, although he called her a "female captive" simply out of politeness.

After all, at first glance, the figure of this life form in front of us is quite enchanting.

But if you look closely, you'll find it a bit creepy. You can only say that the head part is normal, but other parts are not normal.

The body is covered with red, which is large pieces of shell that look like solidified blood clots, or like armor that grows naturally on the body surface.

Grayish-white skin can be faintly seen between the gaps between the shells.

Just like the head, there was no blood color at all, the skin was grayish white as if it had been dead for a while, and the eyes seemed to have only the white part.

How should I put it? I guess not everyone can accept such aesthetics.

"Name?"

"Olin..."

"gender?"

"Female..." "Age?"

"..."

"..."

The magician slowly began to extract information, and the prisoner on the opposite side answered every question.

Although her eyes were filled with extreme fear, and even a hint of hysteria.

Because at this moment, she actually maintained her clear will and was clearly aware of what was happening and what she was experiencing.

But it was of no use, Olin had no way to fight back, no way to shut himself up.

The more clearly she realized all this, the more powerless she felt... and the more frightened she became.

Horrified by what had happened to him, and horrified by the terrifying smile on his face in front of him.

He had no ability to resist, and even had no desire to resist from the bottom of his heart. He could only answer the other party's questions one by one in a sober yet confused state.

The plan to capture Olin had been made in advance.

After all, clues about the suspected cult leader were dug out from Mingsala's fragmented memories, and he judged that the best "entry point" was this Olin.

Because she is stupid.

So it was very easy for him, after successively detonating the strongholds of the Supreme God in various places, to make Baldur's Gate, the final battle, and let those lurking cultists directly attack and expose themselves.

While attracting everyone's attention, he also captured Olin directly.

——This is also a natural result.

——The gap between them was too great, and there was no chance for Olin to escape.

From the mouth of the highest cult leader of the Supreme True God sect, Xia Zhi finally got the complete information he needed, including all the secrets of this sect and the conspiracy hidden behind the scenes.

The first and most critical question is whether the Supreme True God exists?

The answer is naturally no, there is no such divine power.

If you must say, the Church of the Supreme God is a joint venture company, and it was established not long ago.

There are several powerful individuals involved behind the scenes, to be precise, several veteran actors collectively known as the "Three Gods of Death".

Baal, the god of murder...

Bane, the god of strife...

Melkor, the god of the dead...

These three beings ascended to the throne of gods from mortals a long time ago.

Perhaps it is because they have always had lofty ideals of serving the country and the people in their hearts, so they are always tirelessly committed to seeking the welfare of the people of Faerun.

This time is naturally the same.

Although at present, it is far from being comparable to the shocking and ruthless work they once did—

For example, stealing the Tablet of Destiny, causing a catastrophe for the Saints...

The current plan is just a small-scale one, which is really not worthy of being put on the stage.

But even such a small-scale plan has undoubtedly targeted the entire Baldur's Gate and the surrounding areas, and is even preparing to take control of the entire Sword Coast...

Of course, the people of Furen must be grateful for this.

The so-called sect of the Supreme True God is the main product of this minor conflict. It is an evil cult established with a mind flayer as its core.

Because the preliminary preparations were sufficient, for example, the precious legacy of the former Arcane Empire - the Crown of Karsus - was obtained, and then it was worn on the captured Mind Flayer Kingpin.

In this way, the Elder Brain can be controlled and begin to provide Mind Flayer tadpoles that have been transformed by magical power.

Compared to normal Mind Flayer tadpoles, the modified tadpoles have enough time to develop.

By using powerful magic to temporarily delay the onset of metamorphosis, affected True Souls can continue to maintain their daily lives without revealing any flaws.

This means that as long as you are willing, you can develop for as long as you want, until you accumulate enough power, and then flatten Sword Bay in one wave. This is entirely possible.

All in all, the plan was not that brilliant or perfect.

But at least it has been successfully carried out to the last step. Logically speaking, we can just wait and bide our time.

As long as you develop secretly and wait for time to pass, the progress bar will gradually fill up...

——Normally this would be the case, but fate just likes to play bad jokes on us.

Therefore, at this last step, some unexpected things happened.

One of the three agents of the Three Gods of Death, the Son of Baal named "Evil Thought", has disappeared.

That was another agent, the only person Gotash could call a good friend. Both of them had excellent ability to stir up trouble, and they were organized, planned, and coordinated.

It can almost be said that the current sect of the Supreme True God was built by these two people working together.

If the two had not had strong execution capabilities, and had not managed to turn a whimsical plan into a promising one, thus attracting the gods behind the scenes to invest, it would have been impossible for the company to grow so big and strong so quickly.

but……

Just when everything was ready, the evil thought disappeared.

Baal's agent was replaced by a woman named Orin, the third-generation grandson of Baal, who seemed to have a serious mental illness...

Gotash had always suspected that it was the madman Olin who backstabbed him with evil thoughts...

In fact it is.

According to the magician's questioning, Olin confessed very sincerely that he was indeed the one who did it. Because of jealousy, when the evil thoughts killed through the Mind Flayer colony, captured the main brain alive, and completed all the preparations...

Sneak attack on the opponent.

This resulted in a major flaw in the entire plan. Originally it seemed like a sure thing, but now problems started to appear everywhere.
