Chapter 358 The Savior
While Gotash and Xie Nian were quietly doing great things on the main material plane, Nohir was not idle either. He was trying to return to Eltoril as quickly as possible.
Because he knows that as the culprit who broke through the Devil's No. 4 Defense Line, after doing such a big thing, it is really easy for him to attract the top experts from the Devil's side to investigate.
Because of the anti-detection talisman on his body, Nohir was not too worried that they would use spells to target him as the culprit, but those strong men were likely to see that something was wrong with Haruman's state.
Although his control methods are very secretive and the possibility of being discovered is very small, it also means that once discovered, it will definitely cause huge trouble. He must leave that right and wrong quickly. Only in this way can you ensure the life safety of yourself and your teammates to the greatest extent.
However, Mephisto's treasure house was stolen. This incredible news shocked the entire Nine Hells and attracted the attention of almost all the great devils who knew about it. On that day, they directed all their energy and eyes towards Mephisto. In the eighth level of hell where Te is located, no one pays attention to the incident that occurred on the fourth line of defense in Huangquan, not even Zarrell.
Haruman, Zariel's right-hand man, naturally also received this news. As Nohir, who exchanged information with him, he also learned about this shocking thing that detonated hell, and it was different. Unlike most demons who only knew that Mephisto's treasure trove was stolen, he instantly realized the cause and effect of the matter after extracting those few keywords.
Nohir was shocked at first because he didn’t expect Xie Nian and the others to move so fast. However, because he had thoroughly reviewed the original plot before, he quickly stopped being shocked. Zhong came back to his senses, and then quickly realized that Xie Nian and their actions might have helped him in some sense.
Having thought of this, Nohir immediately struck while the iron was hot, controlling Haruman to persuade his two companions, and temporarily tried his best to conceal the news of the fall of Huangquan's No. 4 defense line.
After all the high-level leaders on the demon side were killed in the battle, they can still barely hold on to these demon armies and prevent the No. 4 defense line of Huangquan from completely falling. Although this is just a hard hold, as long as If they can hold on for just a little longer, support from other regions will continue to arrive and help them completely stabilize this line of defense that is on the verge of collapse.
And as long as they can completely secure the defense line before Zarrell knows what happened here, then they will naturally not be considered a failure. They can completely pretend that nothing happened, and even hand over the heads of the two legendary demons. In the future, they can also get a lot of rewards for this.
Nohir succeeded. The wonderful future described by Haruman really made them very tempted. Taking advantage of the opportunity now, they must try it no matter what. It is precisely because of this mentality , these guys helped him buy a considerable period of time to escape.
Well, yes, Nohir ran away because he was not sure whether Haruman could really hold on to that line of defense. Nohir had seen with his own eyes how exaggerated the number of demons were over there. Hill had absolutely no confidence in being able to defend, even with the help of two other legendary devils. Once the defense was lost, the dangers he had predicted before would inevitably follow.
So Nohir chose to stay away from that dangerous place as quickly as possible, and for this he even used all his means.
On the first day riding the Nightmare away from the fortress, he immediately captured a very fast-flying Flo Demon, crippled it with physical means, and then immediately used the power of the crown to sacrifice it. From that moment on, he spent almost all his time on the road.
When encountering a smooth plain, use the power of nightmare to quickly pass through it. After the nightmare has no physical strength, put it in the space provided by the spur part of the Purgatory saddle to rest (a unique ability of Haruman's saddle), and then himself It transforms into a giant vulture-like vulture and flies quickly with its wings.
By constantly exchanging two ways of traveling, and relying on his tenacious physique to suppress fatigue, Nohill used this hard-working method to return to Ai in less than three days. Toril.
"I'm finally back." The shadow of Flo Demon's wings slid across this dilapidated city from high altitude. Nohir had overlooked this beautiful holy city from high altitude before. Compared with before, Now the place has become too dilapidated, with broken bricks and tiles everywhere.
During the time when he returned to the city, he could not even see a single pedestrian on the road. People either died in the earthquake caused by the violent changes in the city. Budu hides in his basement in fear, fearing that he will be discovered by the evil spirits wandering outside.
"But finally, everything is getting better."
Nohir, who is high in the sky, can carefully observe the movements on the streets below. Compared with when he left the city, there are already new people on the streets. There are traces of pedestrian activity. These Eltugardians have come out of that nightmare.
People are carefully clearing the rubble on the streets so that the Hell Knights and City Guards, the troops who protect their safety, can pass unimpeded and quickly collect the remains of their loved ones, preserving the last trace of dignity of the deceased. At the same time, it is also to prevent the disasters of the undead and plague from befalling them.
This process is so quiet, silent and solemn. Nohir can see that fear and pain are still entangled in the hearts of these people, but perseverance seems to be the virtue of the Faerûn people, and In this disaster that is beyond human control, this virtue becomes even more dazzling.
“But it’s time to leave here, leave this hell, stay away from the pain, and return to the world of the living. That is their original destiny.”
Nohir no longer thought about it. After finding a deserted place to land, he immediately changed back to his original form and released all his teammates. After a brief discussion, they immediately ran towards the supreme hall. And go.
After approaching the Supreme Hall, the soldiers guarding the door also discovered Nohir and his party. The expressions of these soldiers seemed very surprised, especially after seeing Nohir. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but He seemed to see... worship in the eyes of these soldiers?
This is very abnormal. Although I am indeed on their side, it is difficult for them to have a good look on this winged tiefling who has suffered heavy losses due to the devil's conspiracy.
When he left the city in search of the contract that bound the city and the souls of the people, he could even feel the complex emotions in the eyes of those soldiers at that time. Those emotions were not evil to him. The feeling of talking to each other, but not looking at it twice, but now.
“Our savior is back! Eltovir is saved!”
"The Conspiracy Breaker is back! He was the one who caught that despicable Tavis! It's because of him that we can know the truth about all this!"
"Nohir! Thank you for what you have done for us. Everything!”
The sound of welcome even made his sharp ears tremble. This kind of heartfelt welcome, except for the car of people he saved when he first debuted, has been with Nohir for a long time. Never experienced it.
