Chapter 552 Finishing Work
Because the Astral Prism is a thing of the Gith after all, and I have said before that its value is simply immeasurable, so for Nohir, speaking like Orpheus Asking for something of such immense value makes him feel as if he is repaying a favor.
But what Nohill didn't expect was that Orps handed him the astral prism directly as soon as he mentioned it.
Nohir asked Orps if he didn't know how valuable this thing was? But Orpheus said that no matter how expensive this thing is, it cannot compare with the freedom and liberation of the race.
Orpheus said that if Nohir had not given this most precious gift to the children of Gith, this thing would be just a prison that restricted their freedom.
They have had enough of living inside, and have no interest in locking other compatriots inside to suffer anymore. Instead of holding it in their own hands and recalling the sadness of the past every time they see it, it is better to hand it to Nuo Xi directly. you.
If this thing is really valuable enough to you, Orpheus will feel even better, because it means that he has finally repaid some of Nohir's kindness.
That’s what Orpheus said, and after hearing Orpheus’s words, even if Nohir didn’t say it, he still felt a little moved in his heart, and he deserved it. He was one of the great men who successfully led the Gith people to overthrow the Mind Flayer Empire tens of thousands of years ago. Such a noble character truly lives up to the name of the Comet Prince.
In this way, Nohir accepted the Astral Prism and promised the prince that given time, after he completely absorbed the legacy inside the Astral Prism and solved the threat from the lower plane, he would also Travel to the Astral Plane and help them overthrow the brutal rule of Vlaakis.
In order to consolidate his rule during the tens of thousands of years that Orpheus was sealed, Vlaakis was able to make his name the title of the supreme ruler of the Githyanki people for each generation. , she claims to be the 147th generation of Vlaakis, but each generation of Vlaakis is actually herself. She has been regaining the position of supreme ruler over and over again through suspended animation, and continues to maintain her position as the supreme ruler. Rakkith's name was used to trick the Githyanki into worshiping them, and over the last millennium, her efforts have finally paid off.
Feeding off millions of years of Githyanki faith, Vlaakis has gained power beyond mortals. She has been tirelessly pursuing the power of the gods, and these millions of years of fanatical faith have finally allowed her to gain true power. Divine power possesses unimaginable power.
But Vlaakis’s paranoid spirit has prevented the Supreme Queen’s faith from spreading. In the early years, in order to squeeze out the Githyanki people’s faith to the greatest extent, the so-called Supreme Queen, she They have always claimed that the Githyanki are nobler than other species and are the unquestionable ruling class in this world, and that the many worlds and races in the material plane are just backyards for them to slaughter at their will. .
Vlaakis’s actions did give her unimaginable popularity among the Githyanki, but it also completely cut off other races from their sources of faith, leaving her to only rely on the Githyanki. Draw strength from the single species of man.
This paranoid and stupid move finally caused her to suffer thousands of years later. The incomplete belief directly led to the fact that Vlaakis is only a demigod so far, even though she has always claimed that she He is a real god, but in the eyes of a real god, Vlaakis is just a clown.
From the tens of millions of years of Githyanki faith, she did gain true divine power, the power of faith, but she did not condense true divinity at all, no matter how loudly she declared herself Even though she is a real god, it cannot change the fact that she is just a false god.
But even if he is a false god, with the power that Orpheus currently has, if they face Vlaakis head-on, they will never have any chance of winning. However, if their actions go well, then all this will be possible. It’s a different story. ——
Looking at the horizon gradually passing through the silver-white astral portal, the magic ships silently disappearing, and the three ships whose injuries have recovered slightly and are barely able to fly. Red Dragon, Nohir silently wished in his heart that they could win the battle and gather a resistance team that could compete with Vlaakis as soon as possible.
Nohir, who is familiar with the original work, actually knows in his heart that in that distant star realm, the Githyanki who are dissatisfied with the tyranny of Vlaakis and have been silently planning a resistance are actually more powerful than they imagined. There are many more among them, and among these resisters, there are also those in high positions.
Even the real history related to the Comet Prince has been secretly circulating in Turanas. Just like Orpheus said, once they really raise the banner of the Comet Prince, These rebels who could only hide in secret and dare not reveal their true thoughts will inevitably come forward and join the Comet Prince's camp.
It is not so easy to decide the winner between Orpheus and Velakis. As long as Orpheus does not get dizzy and directly challenges Velakis, who has divine power, the two sides will definitely be able to confront each other for a long time. , Nohir should also take advantage of this period of time to complete what needs to be done, and go to the star realm as soon as possible to support Orpheus.
With this idea in mind, in the next two days, Nohir first helped Karak get rid of her obsession in the Bodran High Tower.
Because of time The timeline is different. Karak returned two years earlier, and her parents did not die. Therefore, compared to the timeline in the original work, Karak has lost less now. Therefore, she can face Gortash. When doing so, keep your emotions in a relatively stable state.
Rather than hating Gotash, what Karak cared about more was why he did what he did, and when she learned about Gotash's childhood experience, Karak finally felt a little relieved.
Karak finally understood the reason for all this, but she still did not forgive Gotash for what he did. Because she had been caught in the rain, she had to break all other people's umbrellas. Of course she would not do this. She would agree that she just settled one of her worries and knew why Gotash betrayed her. For Karak, just knowing this was enough.
After that, Baldur's Gate officials also issued a formal verdict on Gortas. The four-person parliament formally issued a death warrant for Gortas in the name of treason. Nohir witnessed it with his own eyes at the execution site. The death of this careerist was sure to be a clear death, and there was no possibility of his being a dead body.
But almost at the moment Gotash died, Nohill's keen intuition suddenly flashed with a chill, as if something glanced at him in the dark.
Nohill believed in his intuition, but after that, even if he had let go of his perception to the greatest extent, he still could not find where the gaze came from, and in the end he could only leave it alone for the time being. .
