Chapter 9 Escape from Hell
“All in all, I have developed pretty well.”
“Except for the previous background setting, which caused me to leave the woodland when I was 13 years old and be alone. Heading to Eltoril. "
Now that I think about it, he really wanted to die. He knew it was dangerous when he checked the information, but at that time, who knew that he would actually travel through time?
“Because I originally told Harsin that I was going to Eltoril to look for my kindred spirits, Harsin didn’t object much, and even prepared a set of camping equipment for me and some things I needed in the city. money.”
"Then I walked on and off the road, half traveling and half adventurous, for nearly a month." The area of the Shadow Curse, along the Jonsa River directly to Baldur's Gate, because my scattered memories of this city drove me to do this. Before going to Eltoril, I chose to go in the opposite direction. Let’s go to Baldur’s Gate first.”
When he finally arrived in this city, he stayed here for several months.
“The reason why I stayed so long is because this city evoked a lot of memories for me, but there were many differences in the details. I was really distressed during that time, and the memories in my mind always felt like I can almost remember it all, but it’s all foggy and blurry.”
There is no other way, he can only stay in Baldur’s Gate and make money by performing here. Before, Hal. The money Xin gave him was used to buy weapons and equipment, including a giant axe, two hand axes, and four javelins.
After all, Baldur's Gate is not a safe place, and his instinct has been reminding him to arm himself. His appearance is too eye-catching, which has caused a lot of trouble for him, which makes him can only stay in Baldur's Gate. Practice your professional abilities and earn money through thaumaturgy and performing arts to buy a boat ticket, hoping to take the boat directly to Eltoril.
Although he can fly, he can't fly so far in one go. It's very tiring.
And if you want to go to Eltoril, you can only go by boat, otherwise you have to cross the wilderness directly. It’s not that it can’t be done, but it’s just not necessary. After all, if you really want to cross the wilderness, then It wastes too much time, and it is far less convenient than taking a boat with the fleet.
And the wilderness is full of dangers. Even if he lived alone for five years when he was young, he dare not say that he can despise the wilderness. Although he has escaped from death several times, his luck will not last forever. Favor him.
On the way from Baldur's Gate to El Tor, only the first half of the wilderness was an activity area that he was familiar with. The second half was an area that he had never been to at all, and he could not guarantee that he would be there in the future. There will be no overturning in unfamiliar territory.
————
Take a boat from Wyvern Pass in Baldur's Gate and head east along the Jonsa River. The mighty fleet passing by Baldur's Gate passes through Anjafe and the Dawn. The main fortress, starting from the date of departure from the forest, took half a year to reach the destination, Eltoril.
"Then I have been staying in this city. Not long ago, I was still thinking about how to make a living in the city. Making money by performing magic tricks was not working anymore."
"Until the day before yesterday, my memory suddenly fully recovered, and then I crashed into the whole city and was dragged into hell."
"To be honest, if I hadn't awakened my memory at that time, I would have been there again. Fly, two days ago, like most of the people in that city, I was thrown into the River Styx by a demon flying out of the sky, transformed into a lemure, and then thrown to the front line of the battle between hell and the abyss, which turned into a bloody battle. The cannon fodder inside.”
Nohir sighed deeply and suppressed the fear that once again arose in his heart.
After completely digesting the memories in his mind, he is no longer the ordinary person on earth. His life experience is bizarre even in this world. Logically speaking, he should have been there long ago. I have become accustomed to danger and have conquered fear.
But compared with the whole city being pulled into hell in an instant, that is completely different concept.
I ran out of ink...
"I had lived there for more than half a year before that city completely fell into the abyss."
"Eltoril truly lives up to the name of the Holy City. It has perfect and powerful laws, a brave and elite knights, open and tolerant citizens, and a shockingly low crime rate." "This level of civilization is incredible. Compared to the medieval world, it is definitely an incredible feat.”
“But all of this is an illusion. The reason why it is so inclusive, so open, and so beautiful is for this reason. Attract more people to settle here, so that we can have a mouthful of food when we finally close the net."
"This is a mouse trap filled with bait, and we ignorant rats have false hopes. Walk in and be firmly tied around the neck by the order and beauty in front of you."
"The people in the city never expected that they would face such a tragic fate. They clearly did nothing..."< br>
"I escaped. When the second sun hovering over the city suddenly turned as dark as ink, my mind was overwhelmed by the sudden awakening of a large number of memories. I immediately realized that something was wrong."
" Memories of looking up information on the day of time travel flooded into my mind, and I understood everything instantly.”
“This city was shrouded in a huge conspiracy 50 years ago, and the city’s top watcher, Tavis Craig betrayed this country. He packaged and sold the entire city, including his soul, to the devil king of hell and the source of my bloodline, Zariel, in exchange for Eltori. "When the term ends, this city will be bound by the contract and dragged into nine prisons, and together with these ordinary people living in the city, they will be confused. And Avernus, who was instantly transported to the Nine Hells in fear, their souls will be thrown into the River Styx, printed with Zariel's mark, and become her devil soldiers."
"Then. The artificial sun that began to hover over this holy city 50 years ago, a great creation affectionately called [Ban Yang] by all Eltoril people, became the cover of the mousetrap."
His memory goes back to the day the world turned upside down.
"[Ban Yang], this huge and sophisticated instrument has been protecting the city from the threats of the surrounding undead and dark creatures for the past 50 years, but just the day before yesterday, the originally warm [ Ban Yang] suddenly tore the sky apart and emitted a dark light. "
"The black sun rotated and twisted like a black hole, endless devils flew out of it, and eight huge chains fell from the sky, fiercely embedded in it. In this city, the dim yellow light curtain spreads like a cover, covering 80% of the city in just a few minutes, and then transports everything in the cover to hell."
"I ran away in embarrassment. Before the light spread completely, through the black hole, I saw what was waiting for this city on the other side of hell. That was the source of my bloodline, Zariel, she was there Waiting quietly over there, that feeling is absolutely unmistakable."
"Although it was just a silhouette, this gentle glance almost made me lose the courage to escape. It was not something I could handle. Thing, I can't save anyone, I can't even save myself..."
Nohir closed the note abruptly, he couldn't think about it anymore.
Eltoril has fallen, but there are still survivors around the city.
Banyang's coverage area has not caught up with Eltoril's 50 years of expansion, but even so, 80% of the entire city from the middle is only a bottomless pit.
The people who were lucky enough to survive were frightened by this huge change, and they all tried their best to escape. I was just the fastest one.
“The black sun is still hanging high in the sky, which means that anyone can enter hell through that ghost thing if they want, and those things in hell can also come out through that thing at any time.”
"The most elite garrison in the city, the Hell Knights, were almost completely wiped out. If my guess is correct, there must be scattered devils emerging from them now, relying on fear to harvest the souls of escaped mortals."
"But on the way here, I saw that the main fortress of the Lord of the Dawn was already preparing for war. The Northern Lords Alliance must have also known that the capital of Ertugard has fallen. Someone will deal with the devils who ran out. ”
