Chapter 430: Going Underground
This shows that Gotash has not been beaten to death by Karak's giant hammer or imprisoned until now, but now it seems that he has obviously escaped.
However, through the background of the crystal ball, Nohill could see that there was a brass-colored wall behind Gotash. This feature probably means the hiding place where Gotash is now.
Nohill had already begun to become interested in the conversation between the two people. He calmed down his mind, focused 120%, and began to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two people.
The mist of invisible matter was just behind the evil thoughts and did not attract anyone's attention. The smell of burnt corpses in the room also covered the traces of Nohir himself very well.
"...Maybe I am indeed much weaker now, but evil thoughts, you must not forget that I am the initiator of this plan."
"Haha, now that the plan has been carried out, I can no longer see this. Where is the plan that still needs you? Apart from the stone that is still in your hand, can you provide even the slightest help? Gotash, you are no longer useful. Maybe I should go back now. , get back that thing that is completely useless in your hands..."
"Stop this useless threat, evil thoughts, you and I both know that without me as a think tank, this plan would not be possible. I will go far, but you still need me, because you know that my wisdom is the weapon that unites the three of us. Without me, this alliance will completely fall apart the next day. "
Xie Nian is silent. After a while, Gotash was right. Without him, this alliance would not even be established, and Keserik would never allow himself to master two Neisser gems.
"...Then what do you want to do by contacting me now? Don't say stupid things about helping you return to Baldur's Gate. I can't do that now, so you can still feel at ease. Stay in the sea and wait until this is over..."
"No, although the Iron Throne has been repaired and is now habitable, because of the emergency, the remaining believers and I did not carry much emergency food. We will be short of food and drinking water before long... I need support, Xie Nian, I need you to help me carve out a hiding place that is secluded enough on land so that I can have time to continue using my brain to rescue us from our current predicament.”
When coming to the Iron Throne through the submersible, Gotash took away a large number of devout Bane believers. Naturally, there were priests among those believers. Although they were Bane's priests, they released some simple water-making techniques. There are still no problems, but the water source problem can be solved, but the food problem is not so easy to solve.
The guy from Red Hammer has been complaining that the sahuagin outside this sea area have always wanted to break in, and because of the interference of these sahuagin, they even want to go out to sea to catch fish through submersibles. It is also difficult to harvest enough fish to feed more than 50 people.
And it is too frustrating to be forced to hide here all the time. Although it is far away from the center of the storm and is very safe to a certain extent, Gotash wants more than just safety. He needs to stand in the storm. In this way, he can change the world arbitrarily, but now he is oppressed in this narrow cabin like a lost dog.
"...It really gave me a problem. I had already thought about what I was going to do next, but you, a bastard, actually stepped in at this moment..."
"No matter what you wanted to do before, helping me will definitely be worth it. We have always been unbreakable allies, Xie Nian. It is precisely because you believe this that you will always cooperate with me, right?"
"...One day, I will make up for the fun I lost from you."
"Is this a sign of agreeing to help?"
"...Don't force me. Take out your intestines, Gotash." Gotash stopped talking, but smiled and nodded clearly. Gotash, who was familiar with evil thoughts, naturally knew that this was a sign that he agreed to help. There was no doubt that Gotash breathed a deep sigh of relief.
"Ha... you know? Xie Nian, I have always been interested in the plan called the Great Blueprint that you brought, and since reading that book, I have always had a strong premonition that I feel We still haven’t developed the full power of the Overmind. I have a feeling that if we can fully unleash the potential of the Overmind and the Crown of Karthus, then we might really be able to reproduce the so-called great blueprint. We My own great blueprint."
...
The conversation between the two ended quickly, but although the words were short, the content revealed was really interesting. shock.
'The Iron Throne, I remember that place was used as an undersea prison by Gortash, but he is actually hiding there now... This must be removed before Gortash moves to a new location. The news was told to Karak and the others. '
Nohir slowly slipped through the gap again. Because Xie Nian didn't mention No Hill himself during the previous conversation, he didn't know that Xie Nian had been targeting him before. , Gotash came to seek help from evil thoughts at this time, but to a certain extent, he temporarily helped Nohir avoid the risk from evil thoughts.
However, Nohill himself is naturally unaware of this. In fact, even if he knew, he would not appreciate this unexpected assistance from "Gotash". Rather, if he can really find it, Opportunity to fight with Xie Nian is truly fun and interesting, but now...
Nohir, who obtained the key information, quickly exited Xie Nian's room and quietly recalled the two of them in his mind. ’s words, and then quickly searched the remaining rooms on the floors. Finally, he floated outside the tower in the form of clouds and mist, found a secret place and returned to his original shape, and then used the sound transmission stone to inform this information to Advisor Florrick in Baldur's Gate.
Although Nohir doesn't know whether Baldur's Gate has a way to dive to that depth to find Gotash hiding in the sea, this kind of information can be said, so it's better to say it. Even if they can't search for it themselves, Baldur's Gate's official forces can strengthen the defense of the coast to some extent.
The main purpose of this is to prevent Gortash from quietly landing inland from the coast to Baldur's Gate. As long as he can be locked in the deep sea, he will naturally have no time and energy to cause trouble. When Nohir is free, he can take care of him himself.
‘Okay, the information has been sent, then the next step is to explore the bottom of the Tower of the Moon. ’
After doing this, Nohir once again took out a bottle of vaporized body potion and drank it, and then quickly moved towards the stairs that he had explored before, leading directly to the dungeon below the Tower of the Moon.
Nohir's real purpose is the illithid colony, but unlike in the game, the Moonrise Tower in reality has undergone such a big change. The real illithid colony I'm afraid it will be even worse than the scene seen in the game.
If you want to go deep there, Nohir must not only be physically prepared, but you must also be mentally prepared with vaccinations in advance. The danger, terror and nausea of that place may be far greater than own imagination.
