Chapter 227 The Three Gods of Death
After this major incident, the two instantly realized that the opportunity they had been waiting for had come. The two immediately reunited and temporarily gave up their plan in Baldur's Gate. At the same time, they each took two of their men and set off to the Tower of Moonrise to find Catheric Thom, the chosen one of Melkor, the legendary god of the dead.
The road to the Moonrise Tower is not easy. Not to mention the long distance between the Moonrise Tower and Baldur's Gate, the specific location of this tower is still at the core of the Shadow Curse. The dangerous terrain caused them to encounter various shadow creatures and undead along the way, which brought a lot of trouble to their journey.
But thanks to the powerful strength of evil thoughts, they finally got what they wanted. After spending several days, the two found the location of the Moonrise Tower and successfully met Kesrick. ·som.
But even if Keswick is found, it does not mean that everything will be fine. Although the three are all chosen by their respective gods, this does not mean that there is much trust between them. Enver Go Tash must find a way to persuade Catherick, just like he persuaded Xie Nian, and his ambition needs the support of allies.
So he promised Kesric that the alliance of the three would bring unstoppable power, and the guarantee of this power was the legendary Netheril artifact, [The Crown of Karthus].
Enver Gotash told them that he accidentally knew the whereabouts and specific capabilities of this lost artifact due to some personal experiences. He told everyone that the powerful magic of the crown can allow the user to rule everything. To control this artifact, the three Netherese gems inlaid in the crown itself are indispensable.
Enver Gotash is willing to share this information and these gems. This is not because he is generous, but because Gotash knows that he alone has no ability to obtain this information. It is an artifact. Only by cooperating can he realize the information in his mind. Otherwise, he can only carry this secret into the grave.
He told Kesrick Som that he provided the information, and Evil Thought was responsible for obtaining the crown based on his information. Now Kesrick only needs to nod lightly and there is no need to pay. For any extra price, isn't it a great thing to be able to get a gem out of thin air just after you get the crown?
Catheric was moved. He actually understood why Enver Gotash and they were looking for him. In the final analysis, it was because of checks and balances. If you want to control the crown, you must get the gems, but there are three gems in total. If Kesrick himself does not join their plan, it will be difficult for the two of them to determine the specific ownership of the three gems, and the cooperation will not be able to continue. Without him as a person of the same magnitude, the plan itself will be There is no possibility of realization.
Of course, in the end, he agreed to the plan and announced his participation in the name of the Three Gods of Death. After all, this matter was indeed a huge advantage to him. He had no reason to refuse at all. After everyone had thoroughly determined the plan, They made strict oaths to each other to provide a guarantee of trust for this alliance.
Since then, the chosen people of the three gods of death have formed an alliance. Gotash and Xie Nian returned to Baldur's Gate first. Their next plan is to go to hell. The assassins led by Xie Nian The group will travel to the eighth level of the Nine Hells, to the level commanded by the great demon Mephisto, and steal the legendary artifact, [The Crown of Karsus] from his treasury.
In Gortash's plan, the power of this crown can effectively help them completely control Baldur's Gate, and as long as Baldur's Gate is captured by Gortash, he can mobilize All the resources of an entire city will be used to build the Iron Guard, and then use the Iron Guard to conquer the entire Sword Coast, and even the entire Faerûn continent!
By then, Bane's power will be extremely powerful. As a chosen one of Bane, Gortash's power and status will also rise with his achievements. Of course, Yitong will definitely become stronger with it. There are two other three gods of death, but Gotash firmly believes that as long as the scale of the war breaks out is large enough, Bane, who is in charge of the priesthood of tyranny and strife, will rise much faster than the other two gods.
By then, he will definitely be in a dominant position in this alliance, thereby dominating the other two voters in disguise. This is Gotash's current plan.
——
Gotash looked at Xie Nian who fell into silence, and he breathed a sigh of relief silently in his heart. After dealing with Baal believers for a long time, he no longer has any good impression of these crazy lunatics. In Gotash's view, the existence of most Baal believers has no value and significance. Maybe they are proficient in various They possess murder and torture techniques, but their crazy mental state makes it difficult for them to be of great use, and they can only do shady things in secret.
Xie Nian is the most special Baal believer he knows. At least he can listen to advice, and he also has enough self-control to restrain his bloodthirsty desire.
In his opinion, this is a very precious quality. If a person does not have self-control, he is no different from a beast. And it is precisely because evil thoughts have self-control that he will take huge risks to find The evil thoughts seek cooperation, and facts have proven that his choice was not wrong, although there was a reason why he chose to cooperate with the evil thoughts at that time.
After the former Enver Gortash obtained the prototype blueprints of the Iron Guard and contributed them to Bane, Gortash gained Bane's favor and became his divine choice, but at that time Gortash Even just a solitary person.
In order to obtain this blueprint, he personally sold his most powerful force guarantee. At that time, he urgently needed a new bodyguard to protect his weak body. Gotash chose Evil thoughts.
After the two reached a cooperation, Xie Nian's efficient actions and impeccable murder skills helped Gotash to a certain extent.
Xie Nian can always kill the enemies who hinder him as quickly as possible, and no one can find any clues, which will not bring any risk to Gotash himself. Most of the time, with Xie Nian, Working with Gotash has always been very satisfying.
Of course, only Xie Nian is so worry-free and effortless. Apart from Xie Nian, Gotash is not satisfied with most of his assassins, even those reapers or death heads.
Although they can also complete murder operations, these idiots can never distinguish the difference between tasks and sacrificial rituals. They must deliberately leave some iconic items at the end of each operation, instead of drawing the God of Murder in situ. The symbol was to cut off the victim's hand directly, causing twists and turns in the otherwise perfect action. There were even several times when the detectives almost searched for clues and tracked down Gotash.
He couldn't tolerate this kind of thing continuing to happen, so as early as half a year ago, that is, after becoming God's chosen one, he immediately formed a Bane sect secretly and began to try to use Bane The power of the cult itself came to aid his rise to power in Baldur's Gate.
The Bann sect has the most stringent cultivation method. The sect not only has specialized warriors, but also various civil servants and secretaries. Under the cultivation of Gotash, they enforce prohibitions, have strict discipline, and can help He deals with quite a lot.
Now that Gortash has passed his most vulnerable period, the Bane sect has gradually taken shape, and the help brought by the sect is far greater than that of those crappy assassins. many.
