Chapter 103 The Secret of the Supreme God
“This is almost the situation. I didn’t expect that I could find out such a thing just by selling something. However, although it was an accident, this information is obviously very valuable. Will this person affect our plans tonight?”
Ska explained his experience to Nohill in detail and expressed his concerns. After all, this matter seemed quite good to him. Seriously, and it is.
Since experiencing the fall of Eltoril, he is now 12 points vigilant about anything related to the devil. If Vika's suspicion is proved to be true, that means There is also the shadow of the devil behind the Iron Guards, and everything related to the devil is without exception a huge conspiracy. Eltoril is the most real argument.
After hearing this, Nohill couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was indeed unexpected for Ska to know this in advance, but no matter from which aspect, this is a surprise. piece of good news.
"Don't worry, Scar, at least for now, this matter will not affect our plans. I have found out our specific target before, and now I have determined that it is Duke Salamara Vansampel."< br>
“With the large number of devils hiding in her manor, I am almost certain that she is secretly conveying negative information about Eltoril, so she is still our main target.”
“The news you got is indeed an accident, but based on the existing intelligence, I can judge that even if Gotash really colluded with the devil, he should not have participated in the incident related to Eltoril. . ”
“After all, no matter who makes a deal with the devil, his fundamental purpose is for his own goal, and as a careerist who is working hard to rise in the bureaucracy of Baldur’s Gate, the upper-level power Dramatic changes won't do him any good, especially when the real mastermind plans to sink Baldur's Gate into hell."
"Gortash is a very smart guy, he is. As a new dignitary who has risen from the civilian class in a short period of time, he must be able to understand the stakes involved. If he is really involved in this matter, I am afraid that the moment he learns the truth, he will immediately use the dagger in his hand to attack Duke Vansample struck hard from behind."
In fact, this possibility is very high. According to Gotash's performance in the game, this guy can even chat and laugh with the protagonist group who has killed two of his powerful allies in succession, and at the same time sincerely propose to work together to rule the world. ambition.
The most outrageous thing is that these are all true. He is really willing to give up half of his rights, as long as he thinks this ally is worthy of him.
For an ambitious man of his level, as long as his allies can bring enough benefits, he can bring more to his allies, but if someone blocks the way, no matter how close this person was to him before Without hesitation, he would kill without hesitation.
It is precisely because of this man's duality and danger that Nohill does not want to conflict with him at this time, so he must first speak to stabilize Ska and let him stop temporarily and wait. After finishing the important thing at hand, he was thinking about other things, so he continued to speak to Scar.
“This person currently does not have much strength to make a profit in this level of game, and his Iron Guard with Staff has not been completely manufactured, so there is no need to worry for the time being. Let’s deal with Duke Van Sampur first. We will discuss how to deal with him later. After all, we have ready-made hell iron samples, and it is very easy to deal with him.”
Nohir said to him easily.
The reason why he was so relaxed was all because of the information brought by Scar.
The sale of the hell chariot means that they will be able to obtain sufficient funds to prepare for the originally planned trip to hell in a dozen days.
Knowing Gotash's current power means that they will not encounter additional risks for the time being in this crisis-ridden city. The only thing they need to worry about is the Baal Order.
Although Nohir knew the plot two years later, at this time he was not clear about how much power Gotash had under his command. Nor did Nohir know what he meant to the Gond believers. To what extent has the influence reached, and has it reached the level of control that I had when I played the game in the first place.
If Gota Sheng has too deep an influence on those Gond believers, it is very likely to threaten his future plans. His chariot may not be sold, and the consequence of this is that he does not have enough money to Travel to Hell via Devil's Tip.
So before he knew the specific situation, these anxieties had been bothering him.
And now that he learned that the Iron Guards had not been completely manufactured, especially when high-ranking personnel within the Gond believers began to doubt Gotash, he was even more relieved, which meant that he could only A little push in a key place and Gotash would be in huge trouble.
After all, this guy really made a deal with the devil, and that’s fine in normal times. After all, there are a few clean nobles, and no one has a few dirty secrets behind them, but not in this stall, Alto Riel had just fallen into hell, and then he discovered the Devil's Follower in Baldur's Gate. This man was still a newly powerful man. Guess what the people would think?
So during this period of time, Gotash will definitely stay and reduce his sense of existence. Once the things he has done are discovered, there will be endless consequences. Nohir even doubts what happened. Will Gortash be able to continue playing in Baldur's Gate after that?
"...You are right. We should focus on the most important things first. However, I still think that the issue about Gotash is of great importance. Maybe I didn't say it in detail before. You don't know about steel. What a powerful construct the Guardian is, but according to Vika, the fifth-generation aircraft they built some time ago has overcome most of the problems and has actual combat capabilities."
"This kind of aircraft. Even I have no confidence in dealing with even one of these constructs. Although Vika told me before that this thing must be driven by someone, it will definitely not be that simple once it is related to the devil."< br>
“Perhaps that Gotash can bypass this restriction. If this really happens, once the power of the Iron Guard is mastered by an ambitious person, even Gond believers will not be able to stop him. I'm afraid it's no longer just Baldur's Gate that's in danger, and his ambition will drive him to launch a more tragic war."
Ska frowned and expressed his worries. And Nohill couldn't help but sigh that Ska's guess was really accurate.
Yes, Ska's worries were all true, because what happened next was far more serious than he thought.
In fact, if he doesn't interfere now, it will only take two to three years for the Iron Guards to spread all over Baldur's Gate and completely become the chosen ones of the God of Tyranny, Gortash's most powerful minions, helping him To maintain his tyrannical rule.
The iron feet of these ruthless machines have crushed countless families and brought countless pain to the city, and even more than that.
——
Through the achievement of Iron Guard, the future Gortash gained high status, glory, and the most important treasure in Baldur's Gate, the favor of a god.
The god of tyranny chose him as his chosen one, and Bane's gaze made Gotash's ambition expand again. His desire for power drove him to constantly want to ask for more, and in With his continuous efforts, this ambition finally bore fruit.
Driven by fate, the three gods of death, who have brought countless disasters to this land since ancient times, have once again formed an alliance in this era. They all unanimously elected their agents in the mortal world, that is, voters, and secretly helping to encourage them to bring a new round of unrest to the world.
Enver Gortash, the chosen one of Bane, the Lord of Darkness and the God of Tyranny, with the help of ambition and the gods, he recognized the other two chosen people of the Three Gods of Death and formed a friendship with them. alliance. After forming an alliance with them, he did not leave these allies alone. He began to actively integrate the intelligence possessed by all parties, and thought about how to regain the power of the god of tyranny on this continent, that is, how to make the The world is once again in turmoil. After all, only when the world is full of violence and strife can the three gods of death become more powerful.
Enver Gotash did not think for too long. By combining his previous experience and the resources at hand of the two allies, he quickly finalized a simple and rough plan. plan.
That is the [Crown of Karsus], an ancient artifact left behind by the lost Netheril Empire. According to legend, Karsus almost became a god with this crown, so Go Tash concluded that the crown held great power, powerful enough to help him control Baldur's Gate.
And he happened to know the whereabouts of this crown. Under these conditions, he naturally began to seek this artifact.
As for why he knew the whereabouts of this artifact.
——
No matter how terrifying the tyrant was, he was once just an innocent child, and the same was true for Gotash.
At that time, Gotash was just a kid who liked tinkering with machines and was a little clever. He ran a leather shoe store in Baldur's Gate with his parents. Although his life was tight, But it can barely be considered happy.
But suddenly, everything changed. The shoe store fell into a debt crisis and was about to close down. In order to keep the store going, Gotash was sold to a warlock by his parents, and this A magician then sold him to his master, the great devil Raphael.
He spent a difficult and difficult time in hell, which changed him forever. He saw a lot in Raphael's palace and learned a lot. Raphael's evil , vicious and insidious, not only turned him from a child into a devil, but also gave him a devil's tongue.
He suffered a lot of pain and torture during that time, but thanks to his clever mind, Gotash did not suffer eternal suffering there like other debtors. Due to an oversight by the gatekeeper, Raphael broke into the portal from hell to the main material plane and escaped from hell.
It was also during the time he was in hell that he learned the clues to the crown of Karsus from Raphael.
——
After finalizing the plan, he immediately began to contact the evil thoughts and asked the evil thoughts to go to hell, to the eighth level of the nine hells, and to steal the Khalsa from the treasure house of the ruler of the eighth hell, the devil king Mephisto. Sri Lanka's crown.
The evil thoughts did not disappoint Gotash. As the true son of the God of Murder, he can be said to be the purest child of the God of Murder in history. Unlike his former brothers and sisters, the evil thoughts There is no trace of mortal blood in his body. He was transformed from the rotten flesh of Baal and injected with his divine blood, so he was naturally favored by the God of Murder.
He completed the mission perfectly and brought back the crown of Karthus, but Gotash soon discovered that there was a huge mistake in the magic attached to the crown. The original crown of Karthus Its function should be to allow the wearer to perfectly control the consciousness of himself and others, making it a true crown of ruler. But now this magic has been reversed, and instead the wearer is controlled.
The three nese gems inlaid on the crown of this artifact have become the only key to remote control it. No matter whoever collects these three gems at the same time, he can use these gems to issue orders to the wearer of the crown. , completely controlling his sense of freedom.
This discovery made Gotash very upset. The originally powerful crown had now become a piece of scrap metal. He thought that all their previous efforts were in vain, but it didn't take long for him to think about this piece of scrap metal again. a new purpose.
Kesric Thomu, the chosen one of Melkor, the Lord of Bones and the God of the Dead, and an ally of Gortash. He discovered an entire tribe of mind flayers under his base camp, the Tower of Moonrise, and also discovered the mastermind. traces.
Originally, this incident made Kesrick very upset, but Gotash saw new business opportunities in the crisis. He became obsessed with the powerful race of mind flayers, and began to imagine that if he could What a powerful force it would be to control an entire tribe of mind flayers!
In fact, for them now, wanting to achieve this is not a foolish dream, because of the unique ethnic characteristics of the mind flayers, the leader of each mind flayer tribe is a kind of mastermind. Super large aberrations, all mind flayers are under the complete control of the mastermind. This unique feature gives this race extremely efficient execution capabilities, but it also gives them very fatal weaknesses.
The death of the master brain means the death of the mind flayer tribe. Being controlled by the master brain means that the entire tribe is controlled. Now as long as this crown is worn on the head of the master brain, they can easily control an entire tribe. A powerful army of mind flayers!
Although there were various flaws in the later plan, which caused the plan to completely fail, the serious consequences of the plan itself were enough to let the world know the danger of Enver Gotash, the main planner. .
In fact, if Orin hadn't stabbed Xie Nian in the back the moment Xie Nian placed the crown on the master brain, pierced his brain with a dagger, snatched the Nesser gem, and allowed the master brain to briefly escape control, the master brain would have It won't completely lose control later.
The master brain is originally a very dangerous and extremely powerful super aberration. Every mind flayer will dedicate his brain to the master brain before dying, allowing the master brain to devour its memory and increase its knowledge, so Every mastermind is a super psychic master with infinite wisdom, especially the mastermind controlled by the crown of Karthus is extremely dangerous.
The powerful magic power of Karsus' crown caused it to mutate. This had witnessed the magic power of Karsus briefly becoming a god, transforming it and giving it the foundation to become a god.
And Gotash's plan to spread chaos in Faerun through the mind flayers, thereby promoting his own status in disguise, also grew the mastermind on the side.
The originally joking faith actually nourished it. The chaotic fanaticism exuded by those brain-controlled believers actually made many ordinary people begin to believe in it. This chaotic faith actually allowed it to possess divinity.
So many coincidences made this plan completely rush towards the unknown road, but in fact from the moment Orin stabbed the evil thought in the back, the mastermind had changed from a chess piece to a chess player. It, no, should be him.
From that moment on, He became a false god, a false god named the Supreme God.
