Chapter 79 Causes and Consequences
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 sneak into a Duke’s mansion by yourself?”
Ska asked him in disbelief, a Duke who might be colluding with the devil, where she lives The location is already very dangerous, and now the Duke may have some unknown relationship with the murder sect, which makes this already dangerous operation even more dangerous.
How is Nohir so sure that he can 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 this Duke really cooperates with the Devil and the God of Murder Order, then she will be even bigger. It may be that the devil is directly summoned to be stationed in the Duke's Mansion. After all, the devil's discipline is really good. If it can be effectively controlled, it is indeed a good hand to use as a housekeeper and nurse.
“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, even their collaborators.”< br>
This is true. Think about that crazy woman in Olin. In the original world line, she stabbed the evil thought in the back without hesitation. It can be said that it was her stab that led to the Supreme God’s plan. If they fail, they can kill the leader, 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 and don’t forget my previous experience. 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 is more because he has now guessed the cause and effect of the entire incident through this information. When the information is sufficient, he will naturally feel more confident. There is confidence.
The first is the biggest suspect, Duke Salamara Vansampel.
If Nohill's guess is true, the Duke may have 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 through the ranks, she also provided hiding places for these lunatics in the sewers she controlled.
This is the basis of their cooperation.
But as we all know, the believers of the God of Murder are a group of lunatics, and Duke Vansample 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.
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 thought up by the Duke. It is more likely that it was the suggestion of those cult assassins, because this would remind the Duke of who got 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 order. In fact, This is also the most commonly used method of "cooperation" among cults.
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.
Not only are these lunatics who believe in the god of murder a constant threat to her personal safety, but her status is also shaky because of these assassins. Their existence has given her trouble sleeping and eating. , life, rights and status, these are no longer in her control. She must want to completely eradicate these madmen, no matter what the cost.
But because of 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 kill them before they die. Dragging her to die together, without the cover of those assassins, others can find out a lot of dirty information about her with just a casual search.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Duke will be held hostage 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!
The turning point appeared.
Zariel, the Grand Duke of Avernus, contacted Duke Vansample through some means and came up with the devil's trick.
A contract, a contract that pulled Baldur's Gate into hell. At the critical moment, Duke Vansample signed the contract without hesitation, even if it brought the city together After falling into hell, she would also make those cult lunatics pay a heavy price, and in order to achieve this goal, she needed to climb up 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 readily accepted it, and the Duke also tried his best to help. These assassins evaded the search and pursuit of Flame Fist.
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, many nobles will gain huge trade benefits. Those nobles will naturally continue to support the Grand Duke, making his position as Grand Duke as solid as a mountain.
But what I didn’t expect is that Urd Revengard is indeed a man of noble character. He only wants to completely solve the high-frequency murders in Baldur’s Gate, and does not want to divert the people with other political achievements. sight.
But as a grand duke, his will will often change because of 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, there is no flaw.
So even though it took her more effort, the Grand Duke was finally persuaded, and then the familiar Eltoril was pulled 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 the devils.
It’s time to fill the vacant gems in this crown.
