Chapter 519 The Stolen Hammer of Orpheus
For Nohir, who is familiar with the plot and character settings, this news is not a secret at all in his eyes, but Raphael is very interested in Gota. The title of Shi really made him a little concerned, because he actually said that there was some personal grudge between him and Gotash?
This is a very unusual thing. As a big devil, Raphael has countless people who hate him and fear him in this world, but he can make Raphael remember him in turn, and even say Those who have some personal grievances can really be counted with one slap.
Although Gotash had been a slave in the County of Hope before, and even managed to escape in the end, this kind of thing only made Raphael temporarily unhappy and would not be remembered at all. For too long, there was no personal grudge at all. After all, there was at most a slight connection between them, but now with Raphael's tone...
'This guy Gotash , could it be possible that during this period, he did something that could anger Raphael? ’
Nohill was not sure, he just guessed in his mind, but soon, Raphael's detailed explanation that followed completely confirmed Nohill's previous guess.
“...This is almost the relationship I had with that ungrateful bastard before. Alas, mortal life is so fleeting. In my impression, Gotash at that time was just He was a thin and pitiful little bastard, and he managed to escape from my house just by relying on a little bit of luck and cleverness."
"But I have to say, that guy is indeed. He accomplished something that no one had ever done before. Although this treasonous act slightly damaged my majesty, because of his hard work, I didn’t bother to look for him in the future. After all, he was just a person. The slave is not worth my effort at all."
When Raphael said this, his face suddenly turned gloomy, and he continued to talk to Nohir.
“But I didn’t expect that this little bastard would dare to come back to my house again after disappearing for more than ten years. He had to bear in mind my more than ten years of upbringing, and even dared to collude with others. Another guy broke into my storage room while I was away from Hope County and stole one of my most precious treasures.”
A sneer suddenly flashed across Raphael's face. He turned to look at Nohir and spoke slowly to him.
“The former slaves turned into thieves, and now they even dare to come back to steal the master’s property. What a shameless, dirty and hateful heart. These damn thieves disturbed my peace and broke my mind. My order and rules are the most important laws in my world - in my house."
"They committed the heaviest sin. Stealing my precious treasure and bringing chaos and disorder into my home, this damn humiliation can only be repaid with their blood."
Nohir frowned.
"What treasure? What did that guy take from your house?"
Nohir's words awakened Raphael into extreme emotions. He regained his elegant posture and continued.
"A hammer, a hammer that can bring you destruction."...The Hammer of Orpheus? !
Nohir instantly understood what Gotash was and what they had taken away, but why? What do they want this hammer for? That thing is just a key that can...
"That is my most precious collection, and it is also a legendary key that can open every lock in the world. It can easily release the people imprisoned in it." Any prisoner in the City of Steel and the cellar of Nagus can be easily broken open by this hammer, but the real purpose of casting it is not for these guys. Someone who can really match this hammer Lock is actually the real name of this hammer. ”
"I call him Orpheus, the Hammer of Orpheus. You may not know what that name means, but in fact, it means the end of the great plan of the illithids, and the beginning of the schism of the Githyanki. , also means your coming destruction."
The thoughts in Nohir's mind flashed like lightning. In an instant, his brain began to work rapidly, quickly converting the existing information. The clues were all pieced together, and a vague conclusion was reached as quickly as possible.
The Hammer of Orps was stolen. This only means one possibility, that is, Gortash and the others may have changed their target to the hammer in Baldur's Gate 3. Throughout the entire plot, Nohir in this timeline thought that the treasure that could no longer appear was on top of the legendary astral prism!
While Nohill was brainstorming, Raphael’s words quickly confirmed Nohill’s guess.
"In case you don't understand, let me explain the origin of this hammer to you in detail. Well, actually, it doesn't need to be too detailed. You just need to know that this hammer can open a Lock, that lock is a magical contract from hell in ancient times, and the name of the person locked by this magical contract from hell is actually the name of this hammer.”
“The legendary Orpheus, the Comet Prince. In the true history of the Githyanki, he is the original leader of the Githyanki, a child of Gith, and the most orthodox of the Githyanki race. The royal bloodline, the absolute leader, the supreme heir to the throne... it should be like this."
"But unfortunately, the Githyanki race is born with a strong sense of tragedy. In ancient times, when the legendary Mind Flayer Empire was still glorious, the ancestors of the Githyanki people had just overthrown the rule of the Mind Flayer Empire and changed their race's name to Gith, and were about to embark on the road to glory. At that time, a very covert rebellion took place."
"Well, the specific details of this rebellion are strictly confidential in hell, so I won't tell you the whole story. All you need to know is that Gith, the original queen of the Githyanki, disappeared during that incident, and that Gith's chief of staff, Vlaakith, took the throne of Gith and sealed the existence of Prince Comet from the clan, and then For so long since then, the true history of the Githyanki has been maliciously distorted in order to protect the longevity of Vlaakith's own rule."
"But paper can't cover it up after all. Fire, despite Vlaakith's best efforts to spread negative rumors about Orpheus among the Githyanki, Orpheus is the true orthodoxy after all, and as the true blood of Gith, his The body contains the fundamental power that allowed the Githyanki to defeat the Mind Flayer Empire in ancient times."
"It is a psychic reaction that can forcibly extinguish all energy in a large area. A powerful ability that renders all monsters, whether ordinary mind flayers or the Elder Brain, incapable of resisting. If Orps can one day escape from trouble and show this power to the Githyanki, it will only take a moment. He can also directly gain the support of at least half of the Githyanki, which will seriously shake up Vlaakith's rule."
