Chapter 478 Ring of Tranquility
'Looking for Senil, just relying on Jaheira and the others should be fine, but if I also participate in this operation, then even if I get another mythical incentive point from the panel, It's not impossible...'
Nohir sat back on the large wooden chair again, then put his legs on the table, held his head with both hands, and swayed as he thought about it. feasibility of doing so.
‘…Looking for Senil’s other half in the Shadowfell Underworld… This kind of thing can be said to be very difficult, or it can be said to be not difficult at all. '
Seniel's true self was lost in the Shadowfell Underworld. It is a quite large area, and it is also the territory of the Night Goddess Shar and the Crow Queen. If you go in and search blindly without any preparation, It would be impossible to find him even if she searched for a lifetime, but as Jaheira was a personal participant in the war a hundred years ago and a legendary druid, she must know Senil and know how to find him as quickly as possible.
Therefore, finding Senil is completely easy for Jahira, and the magic letter reported information from two days ago, which means that if nothing unexpected happens, Jahira and the others should have already set off. Falling into the Shadow Underworld, Nohir was unlikely to be able to catch up with this operation even if he set off immediately.
‘…I missed it again, alas. ’
Nohir sighed helplessly.
Now the timeline of this world has completely deviated from its original trajectory. The further back in time, the more distorted the plots he was familiar with before.
'Forget it, just miss it if you miss it this time. Anyway, the most indispensable thing in this world is all kinds of monsters and monsters. As long as the time goes on long enough, there will definitely be no shortage of motivation points. There is nothing special about it now. There are urgent enemies to deal with, and I have enough strength to protect myself now, so there is no need to worry at all. ’
Thinking of this, Nohir stretched greatly, and then moved his lazy eyes to the calendar aside.
Today is December 27, 1494 in the Valley Calendar, and two days ago, the world of Toril spent his [New Year], which is the so-called [Feast of the Moon].
When the long night comes and the north wind approaches, the Feast of the Moon will arrive as scheduled. It is a day for people to celebrate their ancestors, glory and death. On this day of celebration, people will gather to share stories and legends, and for The dead pray and prepare for the coming winter.
The Feast of the Moon heralds the beginning of a new year, and also means that the long winter is coming. In the medieval world of Toril, winter blizzards are no different from natural disasters.
If you do not prepare in advance and prepare enough campfires and food to welcome the cold winter, the shadow of death will come as scheduled.
Because of this, the Feast of the Moon is not actually a particularly festive day. In some areas, such as the Spine of the World Mountains in the north, and the Moon Shadow Sea area which is even further away than the Sea of Swords, people in those places do not regard this festival as a special occasion. Called the Feast of the Moon, call it [Deadwinter Festival] instead.
Even Baldur's Gate, a world-renowned trade capital, cannot completely ignore the threat of cold. After the Feast of the Moon, Baldur's Gate will also be closed for 1 to 2 months. port period.
The gray port will be temporarily closed, the trading ships that are constantly coming and going will also be blocked by the ice, and even the taverns will be suspended. In the next 1 to 2 months, people will be able to Avoid going out and stay at home with peace of mind, relying on the food stored in advance and the fire to spend this long winter with your family.
Only after the [Midwinter Festival] at the end of January next year, people will slowly return to their usual pace of life. This festival means that half of the cold season has passed. Although the future will still be cruel, the worst period is over. From then on, some shops will open their doors and people will occasionally go out to buy some items that are already in short supply.
But now, only two days have passed since the Feast of the Moon. Although the first snowstorm hit Baldur's Gate last night, there are still some days before the severe cold really arrives.
So at this time, the spacious neighborhood is still bustling with people, and merchants are selling the remaining goods as quickly as possible, and even deliberately lowering some prices.
After all, if they cannot sell the goods in their hands in the last period, then they can only seal the goods in the warehouse and wait until next year to open the warehouse door. By the way, they pray that they will be able to sell the goods in the next two months. During this time, my goods were not visited by rats or thieves.
The citizens are also seizing the time to purchase daily necessities for the future, so it can be predicted that in the next more than a week, the city will usher in the busiest, liveliest and noisy period, and then wait until When the real heavy snow arrives, it immediately returns to complete silence.
But at least for now, the market in the spacious block is still very lively, which makes Nohir couldn't help but think of walking around.
In order to quickly improve his professional level, he had stayed in the manor for more than half a month, and his body bones felt a little rusty.
As he said, Nohir immediately returned to the bedroom, wanting to change into a set of regular clothes that he could go out with.
After acquiring this manor, he relied on the wealth he had accumulated in the past to replace all the furniture in the manor. He also hired the best tailors to help him design a lot of furniture that could adapt to various situations. Clothes for the occasion, and to facilitate his future travels, he also spent a lot of money to buy an interesting little thing.
Nohir took out a small box from the bedside cabinet and slowly opened it.
What is contained here is a special deformation ring. It is a strange thing that he spent a lot of money to have someone make it. The function of this ring is very special, because it has one and only one function, that is Completely hide Nohir's wings.
This kind of concealment involves magical transformation. When the ring is activated, his wings are effectively invisible and cannot be observed or touched at all. However, when Nohir needs wings, he can still take the initiative. Change the wings back.
To be honest, the function of this ring is too important to Nohir. Although these wings give him many advantages, they also bring him a lot of troubles, such as being too attractive. People attract attention and are easily recognized wherever they go, or they can only sleep on their stomachs or sleep on a narrow bed.
The bed must be narrow enough to be able to spread the wings and place them on both sides of the bed, otherwise the body will press on the wings and it will become very uncomfortable when you wake up the next day. But after getting this ring, These worries are gone forever, allowing him to enjoy calm eyes and restful sleep like a normal person.
