Chapter 279 Tom's Vision·Insight of All Realms
This is a devout priest who believes in the loyal god Tom. He is one of the few survivors when the cathedral was destroyed. When Riel fell into hell, he and several other survivors narrowly escaped because they were out on business.
In this meeting, as the former Priest of Tom, he is now the highest-ranking cleric in the entire Eltoril. He attended the meeting on behalf of the religious side, and here He had not made any remarks before, but now he suddenly stood up.
Everyone turned their attention to the serious-faced, gray-haired old man. They all began to wonder, what on earth was the old man trying to say when he suddenly stood up?
"Respected Grand Duke, and all of you who are equally worthy of respect and are willing to fight for Eltoril and intend to bleed for Eltoril, please forgive me for my outrageous remarks at this time. ”
The old priest bowed deeply to everyone, and the Grand Duke quickly waved his hand to indicate that no more courtesy was needed.
The Duke himself believes in the loyal god Tom as well as the priest. According to Tom's teachings, both are followers of Tom. There is no distinction between them, so even if he is the Grand Duke, he will not One should accept the salute of a priest.
"Sacrifice Luxiut, be sure not to salute. Please tell us directly what you think. We are both believers of Tom. If the priest suddenly spoke at this time, could it be that he received a warning from our god Tom. ?”
Lu Xiute shook his head slowly.
“It’s a pity, Lord Duke, although it is very disrespectful to say this, but I am afraid that even my lord’s gaze cannot directly penetrate the boundless darkness of the Nine Hells. Ever since I came here, I have been It’s been a long time since the cathedral was destroyed.”
"Then why did the priest stand up at this time?"
Advisor Florrick looked at the priest in confusion and said, and the priest stopped trying to keep it secret.
"In order to convey a message, a message that may allow us to win in the end."
The priest looked at everyone and slowly spoke, just as everyone was about to continue to express doubts because of the priest's riddle. Before that, he opened his mouth and gave a detailed explanation.
“I am Priest Luxiut, a devout believer of my god Tom. Before this nightmare happened, as the 12th new priest of the cathedral, I happened to lead some believers to go shopping. Sacrificial mass supplies, prepared to celebrate the establishment of diplomatic relations between Baldur's Gate and Eltoril."
"But everyone knows what happened after that. Just when I purchased enough sacrificial supplies and led the believers back to the cathedral, the city was dragged into hell without me reacting at all. I saw the cathedral with my own eyes Destroyed by the evil demon Zariel, the huge bolide instantly penetrated the church's protection. All colleagues, including the high priest, were killed. However, as a small priest, I was lucky enough to escape. I believe you all already know this information.”
Everyone who heard this nodded immediately, but they still didn’t understand why Priest Lu Xiuite said this?
“You know this news, but in fact, you don’t actually know why the evil devil did this. Maybe you all think that the reason why the evil devil wants to destroy the cathedral is to destroy my god Tom. The statue of God is just to prevent the glory of God from shining on Eltoril, and to cut off the connection between us slaves and the Lord."
"Isn't it like this?"
Raven. Duke Gard frowned and asked in confusion, while Priest Lu Xiuite shook his head, and then nodded again.
"That's true, but it's only part of the reason. In addition to this purpose, the evil devil wanted to destroy the cathedral. There is also a more important purpose."
Speaking of Lu Xiute here There was a struggle in the priest's eyes. Obviously, what he was going to say next was a secret that needed to be strictly protected even for Thom believers, but the current situation forced him to make this secret public.
Priest Lu Xiute took a deep breath and strengthened his will again. He opened his eyes and looked around at everyone. Thinking of everyone's previous performance, the priest clearly understood that these people in front of him should be worthy of him. Entrusting him with the secret, he no longer hesitated.
“That evil spirit, I saw with my own eyes that after destroying the church, she flew into the ruins of the church and took something from it. That thing is very important. If we can remove it Retrieve it, relying on that thing, we may not even need to retrieve the contract, we can directly return to the main material plane with the entire city."
"What is that thing?"
Everyone who heard the priest's words immediately realized the value of that thing, and everyone's attention instantly became more focused than ever before, even Nohir.
Even if he has discussed a plan before, for everyone in hell, one more choice means one more way out, and Nohir is not so arrogant as to think that his plan will definitely work. success.
"It's an artifact." "It's an artifact!"
Everyone was instantly in an uproar, and even Nohir's eyes shrank when he heard the word.
Artifact! As someone who has seen many legendary items and knows the power of legendary items, Nohill is probably the person present who can best understand and imagine the power of artifacts.
His crown and gloves are legendary-level items. These two alone have raised Nohir's combat power by several levels out of thin air, even giving him the confidence to challenge the legendary when his career level is only eight. level creatures.
As for the artifact, as a creation that is more powerful than legendary equipment, its specific power is even somewhat unimaginable to Nohill. He only knows that once this item can be retrieved, it might be possible to recover it. As the old priest said, he could take the entire city back to the main material plane without having to retrieve the contract.
"Where is that thing now? What does it look like? What is its specific effect?"
The Grand Duke immediately asked the priest for detailed information about the artifact. However, for this information, the priest Just shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Lord Duke, I'm just a priest. Although this position can barely be considered a high-level position in the temple, I'm just qualified enough to know the existence of this artifact. I know its specific effects. Actually, not much. I just heard the chief priest once say that after wearing that artifact, you can communicate directly with my god Tom, but I can't guarantee whether this information is true. "< br>
Be able to communicate directly with God!
"Okay, now I am beginning to believe that this artifact can really take us directly out of hell."
"Be able to communicate with God? This is really outrageous!"
“This is not necessarily true, and even if we can really communicate with God, what can we do? Pray that God will send His angel to sit down?”
"It's not impossible!"
"…………."
"Okay! Wait a minute, everyone, please be quiet. There are still some key questions that have not been answered!"
The Duke's loud scolding successfully stopped everyone's chaos. Ravengard looked at the people who had calmed down and shook his head, and then looked at Priest Lu Xiuite.
"I'm sorry, Priest Lu Xiute, but could you please continue to tell us some news about that artifact."
"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty the Duke. When I first heard about the existence of this artifact, my reaction was not much better than yours."
The corners of the priest's mouth twitched slightly, and Nohir felt that He probably wanted to smile, but considering that he was one of the few remaining survivors, he probably wasn't in the mood to put on an overly happy expression, not to mention that they had also lost something that was absolutely important to Thom Trust. It is an artifact of great importance and significance. Under such circumstances, the priest can still maintain such a stable performance, which can be regarded as extraordinary.
"[Thom's Vision·Insight of All Realms], this is the name of that artifact. Its shape is a bright golden helmet with flying wings on both sides. I don't know which one The demon took it somewhere, but I'm afraid that the devil will try to destroy this artifact."
"Although the artifact is supposedly indestructible, this is hell, and I can't guarantee what will happen. So please, brave warriors, if you can discover the whereabouts of this artifact while exploring Avernus below, please be sure to inform us."
"Thorm's followers want to get it back. , willing to pay any price!”
