Chapter 172 History
Mrs. Satir was very surprised when she heard this. She did not expect that even though she had clearly explained the dangers of this item, Nohir would still want to hold this shield.
But Mrs. Satir had to admit that what Nohill said made sense. After all, the family was indeed careless about the safekeeping of this shield. Even other family members may not know about this shield now. It has been stolen, so that even if the shield is retrieved, there is no good way to place it. In order to prevent the shield from affecting other people in the family, it is estimated that in the end, it will be put back to its original place again.
In the past, this approach might not matter, but now this shield has been exposed in the eyes of those devil believers. If it continues to be placed in the tomb, not only will the safety of the shield not be guaranteed, but Even the peace of the ancestor's bones may be disturbed again. This thing is indeed a hot potato for the current Hu Nei family.
Mrs. Satir frowned in distress thinking about this. If this shield is taken back, the Hunet family will indeed fall into the troubles Nohir said, but if they continue to let their own life-saving Even she couldn't guarantee what the consequences would be if her benefactor held this shield.
"Nohir, I appreciate your consideration for our family's affairs, but no matter how much trouble this item will cause, it will always be the Hune family's responsibility to keep it."
"Hu Nei family The Hunei family has the obligation to keep this shield and prevent it from being used by evil people to cause chaos. Although, as you said before, we have not fulfilled our obligation to protect this shield for a long time, from today on, the Hunei family will do To this point."
Mrs. Satyr said this, but Nohir lowered her head slightly in disappointment after hearing this. It seemed that Mrs. Satyr would not give the shield to him.
Although he prepared another set of words later, now that Mrs. Satir has clearly expressed her attitude, it is probably impossible for him to persuade her no matter how much he says.
However, what Nohill did not expect was that Mrs. Satir continued to speak at this time.
"I'm sorry, Nohir. Logically speaking, I shouldn't refuse the savior's request, but this shield doesn't work. Not only because I don't have the right to decide the whereabouts of this shield for my family, but also because I don't know the shield at all. What kind of negative effects does the shield have?"
"I can't let my savior continue to hold it and then die quietly because of this shield."
"...Or maybe it's because of this shield that I can survive."
"What?"
Nohir's sudden words made Mrs. Satyr stunned, and Nohir Hill also raised his head at this time, looked at Mrs. Satir seriously, and then said seriously.
"Mrs. Satyr, aren't you curious why I still ask you for the right to use this shield even though you told me about the dangers of this shield?"
"I don't know, so Why is this? Nohir, we should be out of danger. Why do you say that suddenly? "
"Out of danger... No, just out of danger temporarily."
"Mrs. Satyr, you should be able to feel the recent turmoil in Baldur's Gate and even the entire Northland. Haven't these recent major events aroused your vigilance?"
“I still don’t quite understand.”
"Then let me explain it to you, madam." Nohir began to explain his thoughts to Mrs. Satyr according to the words he had thought of. He wanted to take over the face from Mrs. Satyr in a legitimate way. The legendary shield, and this requires Nohir to persuade her with a real reason, and let Mrs. Satyr take the initiative to hand this shield into Nohir's hands. If she wants to do this...
"Madam, as a member of the Hunei family, you must know the modern history of Faerûn. Then you must know the turmoil in the Sword Coast and even the entire world in the centuries before. Well, especially the last one hundred and fifty years, this period of time is simply one of the most disastrous periods in the history of Faerûn."
In the year 1358 of the Valley Calendar, the gods were expelled. The Pantheon came to the mortal world in the form of a saint, triggering the legendary [Holy Catastrophe].
In 1374 of the Vale Calendar, the legendary last remnant of the Netheril Empire, the last floating city in the world, [City of Shadows] returned to the main material plane from the shadow plane, and has disappeared from the world for 3,000 years. The long-standing Nesriel Empire was restored.
In 1385 of the Valley Calendar, the Prince of Lies assassinated the Goddess of Magic. The fall of the Goddess of Magic caused the magic network covering the world to be torn apart, triggering a huge disaster called [Arcane Tribulation].
Thousands of practitioners of the arcane arts were driven mad or killed, and the face of Faerûn itself was reshaped by the waves and curtains of mysterious blue fire. Many countries were even replaced or transformed into another In another country of the world, part of the earth was torn apart and floated in the air, and it has not fallen until now.
These are the past history of Faerûn. They are the torrents of disasters that the people on this land have personally experienced. They are common sense that everyone still alive in the world knows. Some long-lived races even personally Having experienced that era, I can still tell the stories of that era.
"Why are you saying this? Nohir, these painful histories have passed, Faerun is safe..."
"Really? Mrs. Satyr, maybe You have lived in Baldur's Gate for a long time and have never heard about the outside world, but what happened in this city 12 years ago must have been experienced by you, right?"
"...What exactly do you want to say? Nohir."
"What I want to say is that since the world-shaking event happened 12 years ago, the world seems to have entered the next reincarnation again. All kinds of disasters and conspiracies are starting to happen one after another around the world. Let me tell you what is happening in the world now."
Nohir closed his eyes and began to recall these things. Experiences from various parts of the Northland collected during my travels between the two places over the past few years.
Since 1484 in the Vale Calendar, strange natural disasters have begun to occur throughout Faerûn. Iliaba was hit by a strong earthquake, and Amn also began to be tortured by locust plagues. Due to the oceans in some areas As drought subsided, drought swept across the south, and various riots led to frequent conflicts across the continent.
The orcs of Arrows wage war against the Northland Dwarf Fortress and its allies.
Sambia launches an invasion of the Vale, and Cormyr raises an army to aid the people of the Vale.
Netheril took the opportunity to gather forces and entered the border of Cormyr, leaving Cormyr facing a situation of being attacked from both sides. During this period, there were also various stories of people who were enlightened by the gods and gained strange powers. These so-called [ The Chosen People] are the source of conflict everywhere, and some individuals among them actually seem to be inspired to carry out divine will.
