Chapter 165 Situation
“So that’s it, I’ve always been wondering how those cultists below the dungeon died. I didn’t expect it to be like this, but even so, this experience is really... Bizarre. "
Havanak said silently, and this sentence seemed to be a trigger. At this time, everyone else no longer remained silent, but expressed their own exclamation.
Bion: "It's unbelievable. Although the person involved said it so lightly, I know that achieving what you have today cannot be achieved by just luck."
Palestine: ''If it hadn't happened right in front of me, I would have thought this was a story made up by that second-rate bard. ”
Liara: "Incredible..."
Such words kept ringing in the hall for a while, but in the end it was Consultant Florrick who was the first to come to her senses, and she faced Nuo Xi with some excitement. Er said.
“This is really, I don’t know how to thank you. You have completely solved a series of crises that Tavis Craig may have caused. Because of your heroic actions, now we We can directly focus on rescuing the Duke."
"Even when we announce this news to the public tomorrow, we can proudly claim that we have solved all the troubles in Baldur's Gate. All the people owe you a favor.”
In response to Advisor Florrick’s sincere gratitude, Nohill just smiled and continued.
"You're welcome, advisor, as long as you don't complain about my deliberate concealment, I'll be thankful."
"Oh, Nohir, no one here will complain about this level of concealment, Bode There is an old saying in Baldur's Gate, everyone hides a secret, not to mention you chose to reveal it to us in the end."
"You have shown the greatest degree of trust in us. If we have to blame you for this, then we are really too ungrateful."
Several other people also nodded in agreement with Advisor Florrick.
Palestine: "Yes, although I did not expect that things would develop in this direction, it is precisely because of your activity that we can finally think about the next countermeasures."
Bion: "It's not just a countermeasure. Didn't you listen carefully? Nohir used a control spell to control Tavis Craig, which means we can pry it out of Tavis Craig's mouth." A lot of information about hell has been released! Maybe we can now directly figure out why the hell portal at the main fortress of Dawn is suddenly closed!"
Wait.
Nohir looked at the people involved in the heated discussion and suddenly captured a key piece of information from their words.
"Wait a moment, I'm sorry, Consultant Florrick, don't you still know why the hell portal is closed?"
Florrick heard Nosy You were stunned for a moment after this question, and then answered.
"Who knows? The devil's action really caught us off guard, but what makes us even more unpredictable is their next action, although we now know the reason why Eltoril fell into hell. It's because of the thing called the Sun of Conspiracy, but no one can explain why that thing suddenly closed."
Palestine also replied at this time.
“Yes, those devils really played a trick on us. When the super-large cross-border portal was erected at the ruins of Eltoril, the northern kingdoms Everyone thought that there was going to be a huge invasion of hell."
"At that time, Waterdeep City and Neverwinter City had already begun to prepare their armies after receiving the news, and Waterdeep City even sent an entire army of lions. The Eagle Company and the two Archmage went to the main fortress of Dawn, but as soon as they arrived, the hell portal was closed, and the news of the opening of the portal had just reached Silvermoon City and Dagger Beach. "
Bion also took over the topic at this time. "Due to the abnormal behavior of the devils suddenly closing the portal, the Northland Lords Alliance's defense alert, which had been raised to the highest level, instantly turned into a joke. At first, Waterdeep City and Neverwinter City, which are closest to here, remained wary for a few days. But soon everyone, including Baldur's Gate, confirmed that the devils had completely given up on invading the main material plane."
"After confirming this, the people of the Northland Lords Alliance also began to gradually disband the army two days ago. The originally agreed armies dispersed quickly after the portal was closed. In fact These armies didn't even have time to move out. "
"The only ones who are still at the Dawn Barrier are the first Griffin company to arrive, and even the archmages are still confirming the authenticity of the portal. After being completely closed, they returned to their original residence."
Nohir frowned when he heard this. He did not expect that the northern countries would be so irresponsible in facing this kind of thing. And Scar asked in disbelief.
"How could this happen? The army has obviously been assembled, but what about the surviving people? What about the people who are still suffering in hell? Doesn't anyone care about Eltoril's life or death! ”
Bion, Havanak and Palestine looked at each other. Now that they knew that Scar was a survivor from Eltoril, they probably couldn't accept such a cruel reality, so they just shook their heads.
Liara, on the other hand, was not so tactful, she spoke directly.
"Why bother? It's not them who are in trouble? In fact, don't talk about them. If our Grand Duke hadn't disappeared with the city, Baldur's Gate would not have gotten involved in this mess. "
"Don't think that the Northland Lords Alliance is really noble. The reason why their army was able to gather so quickly this time was entirely to prevent the devil from jumping through the portal and invading them. That's why they responded so quickly in a short period of time."
"But as long as it is confirmed that the portal is really closed, there is no need for them to continue to care about the lives of subsequent survivors, let alone. There is no obligation to care about Eltoril's life or death, after all, Eltugard is not a member of the Northern Lords Alliance."
Although Liara's words were straightforward and rough, they revealed the essence of the operation of the Northern Lords Alliance. After all, they were not a charitable organization, unless it was something like the devil's cross-border portal that might endanger the entire Northern Territory. Otherwise, they would never have the heart to care about the life and death of other cities other than their own.
Counselor Florrick also continued at this time.
“I’m sorry, Scar, maybe Liara said it too bluntly, but this is the situation we are facing now, and Eltoril may not be able to get help from other cities. But it doesn’t matter, Baldur’s Gate will intervene.”
“Now that we have learned the truth, the entire Baldur’s Gate newspaper office will publish this news tomorrow, and when the truth spreads, Baldur's Gate will also usher in a certain degree of stability. At that time, we can prepare to open the passage to hell and save our grand duke in hell."
And Palestine suddenly disappeared at this time. He opened his mouth to follow the words of consultant Florrick.
"What's more, we already know the reason why Eltoril sank into hell through the mystery box. Now we only need to find the original contract and destroy it, and Eltoril can return to the main material plane and the entire city. "
Nohir looked at Palestine. He knew that the veteran was just taking care of Scar's emotions. When they really go to hell, they will definitely have to find the Grand Duke as their main goal. However, Such behavior undoubtedly made both Nohill and Ska feel a little touched.
“Thank you, Palestine, but in the face of a crisis of this level, who can guarantee that we will be able to do this? I appreciate your kindness.”
Nohill He nodded to Palestine, but then he spoke to the people in front of him.
“At the same time, what I want to tell you is that I actually know why those demons gave up invading the main material plane.”
"Because a bloody battle in the abyss is currently breaking out in Hell. The reason why the devils withdrew their troops is because they were sneak attacked by demons on the battlefield of the bloody battle and need to return to defense urgently. They have no time to take care of Eltoril who has been pulled into hell. If you want If you want to save the Duke, then the recent period is the best time to take action.”
