Chapter 520 Gotash’s Plot
‘That’s it. '
When Raphael reached this point, Nohir almost understood Gotash's thoughts and his purpose of stealing the Hammer of Orpheus. If Nohill guessed correctly from the short verses sung before, Gotash's purpose was undoubtedly revenge, and his purpose of stealing the Hammer of Orpheus was to gain the power of revenge.
Gortash knew that neither the Bann sect nor the Baal sect had the force to retaliate against Nohir, so he set his goal on the astral prism.
Gorthash wants to master Prince Orpheus who is trapped in the Astral Prism, and uses the Comet Prince in exchange for the military support of the Githyanki, but Gortash does not need to fully master Orpheus. Pus, in fact, the only thing he needs to guarantee is that he can obtain the Astral Prism and the Hammer of Orpheus at the same time.
For Gortash, the Astral Prism is nothing more than a treasure chest, with a powerful but very difficult-to-use treasure locked inside, namely the Comet Prince himself, and the Hammer of Orpheus means opening that treasure chest. key.
As long as he masters these two items at the same time, Gotash has the right to choose. He can choose to enter the astral prism directly, return Orpheus to freedom, and meet the Comet Prince himself. Expand alliances.
You can also choose to keep these two items in your hands, and then when Vlaakis sends his dragon knights to take his life, he can take the opportunity to contact Vlaakis. Through the Orpheus in his hand and the hammer that can release the Comet Prince at any time, Vlaakis can use the rat weapon to negotiate terms with the Lich Queen, and use this coercive method to form an alliance with Vlaakis in exchange for those Astral pirate support.
Of these two options, Nohill prefers the second option. The reason is very simple, because Gotash cannot completely control the Comet Prince and cannot directly use him as a living weapon. Operate and use it, because as the most powerful living psychic suppression device in the world, no matter what kind of mind control method it is, it is impossible for Prince Orpheus to take effect. For Gotash, this means that he can only Can gain the Comet Prince's support through persuasion.
But for the Comet Prince himself, reviving his people and rescuing all the Githyanki from the tyranny of Vlaakith is the most important and fundamental matter. , even if Gotash really releases him, he will not choose to put aside this responsibility that he should have shouldered ten thousand years ago because of this kindness, because this responsibility cannot be coerced by any kindness.
In addition, once the Comet Prince really escapes, Vlaakis will definitely try his best and use all his power to completely eliminate Orps, and will not give him a single moment to do anything except resist. .
The reason why Viragis kept Orpheus alive for so long was just to find ways to take away from Orpheus the power that was enough to destroy the great blueprint of the illithids, but once It is really possible that Orpheus may even threaten her rule, and Vlaakis will never be merciful.
In addition, even if Prince Orpheus is really willing to help Gotash, he has no power at all around him just after he got out of trouble. So to sum up, Nohir is almost certain , Gotash will definitely choose to communicate and trade privately with Vlaakis after getting these two items. As long as Gotash can obtain the Astral Spiritual Realm and the Hammer of Orps, he will be qualified to negotiate terms with Vlajis, and through this qualification, Gotash will also be able to obtain the power of the Lich Queen. With his "support", he could easily gain control of a group of Githyanki raiders, or even Githyanki Red Dragoons.
This is a powerful force. If Gotash really achieves his goal without any hindrance, then he may indeed pose a threat to himself in the future. , after all, Nohill is still facing pressure from hell.
For Nohir now, if he only faces one challenge alone, neither the Githyanki nor the devil would be too much trouble, but if they are both at the same time, or just separated by In the near future, he will alternately attack himself in short and medium periods. Even if Nohir has obtained demigod-level power by then, he is not very sure that he can perfectly cope with this disaster.
He must stop Gotash's plan. Now Nohir only needs to know where Gotash and the others are hiding, and he can solve it quickly at a speed that Raphael can't even imagine. How do these cockroaches grow silently in dark corners to find their current hiding place?
Nohill stopped his brainstorming and focused his attention on Raphael who was talking in front of him. He knew that this guy definitely knew the current location of Gotash and the others, otherwise he would definitely It is impossible to know this information related to Gotash. Now all Nohill has to do is wait for him to finish.
This is not only to obtain the hiding place of Gotash, but also to clarify the whole story of this incident. There are some parts that Nohill still has not completely figured out.
For example, how did Gotash know about the Astral Prism and its specific information? After knowing this information, has he obtained the Astral Prism now? If he already had it, how did he reach the Astral Plane and obtain the Astral Prism from Tu'narath, the Githyanki capital city?
Nohill had no way of knowing the answers to these questions, but he might get some scattered clues from Raphael, so he just maintained his silence and quietly watched Raphael perform.
“...When I knew that the shameless little thief Gotash came to my house and stole my treasures, at that moment, I was so angry that I flew into a rage. This was when I learned that After my father's treasure room was stolen, I was the most angry I had ever been. It is no exaggeration to say that my anger at that time was almost the same as the last time I was angry. So after a long absence, I chose to do it myself, relying on my experience in The mortal intelligence network found the hiding place of those miserable things."
Raphael clenched his fist suddenly, a trace of fire ignited in his palm, and then he was pinched instantly. destroy.
"I took matters into my own hands, stepping out of the shadows just as the bastard who stole my hammer returned to his putrid lair, counted his gains from the theft, and gloated over them. , with my anger, I want to show these little thieves what the fury of hell is."
