An Ordinary Fantasy Adventure in the Continent of Faerun

Chapter 110 Unknown Object

Very good, although there was a little accident, as long as the main goal is still there, everything will be fine.

But... sacrifice?

"Sacrifice? Why sacrifice? Who asked you to do this?"

Noshil asked in his mind, and Qi Silin immediately responded in his mind.

"Duke Vansamp, Lady Zariel asked us to obey her orders, only blood is needed, no purpose is mentioned."

No purpose is mentioned?

Noshil couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Needing the blood of the devil for sacrifice, but not letting the devil know why, this is not a good sign.

Devils are shrewd guys. Generally speaking, unless you have absolute control, you can't expect the devil to take the initiative to hurt yourself, let alone sacrifice. If you force the devil to do this without control, these devils will definitely stab that person in the back as soon as they have the chance.

Zariel handed over the complete control of these devils to Duke Vansamp. Although it was just a verbal transfer of power, these devils obviously didn't dare to disobey Zariel's orders.

It seems that Fan Sampur is quite trusted by Zariel, but what exactly does the Duke want the devil's blood for?

Noshier frowned and thought for a while, but found that there was no clue at all. He could only be sure that this was definitely not a good thing, but there was too little information at present, and it was useless to continue to dwell on this issue, so Noshier began to ask the devil other questions.

"What have you done recently, how many people and demons are there in this dungeon, how many passages can go to or leave here, and where is Tavis Craig exactly?"

Qi Silin was stunned for a while again before answering these questions one by one.

"...Sixteen days ago, the Duke secretly summoned all the devil followers he had developed. Fourteen days ago, the Duke's two sons brought many little devils and some followers to a conflict with another devil cult hidden in Baldur's Gate. All the little devils and followers who participated in that action died in the process. Her son seemed to have brought back something, but no one except the Duke himself knew what it was."

"There are currently 36 people in this dungeon, including 5 devils. These people are all elite warriors. They are attracted by Lord Zariel's fighting creed. They are loyal believers and all loyal to the Duke of Van Sampur designated by Lord Zariel. Among the 5 devils, in addition to me, there is a hedgehog devil, two whisker devils, and a thorn devil."

"Four There are three passages. One is in the restaurant of the Duke's Mansion, covered by a mechanism. One is in the stable, which is the most inconspicuous and can be used for secret escape in case of an accident. One is in the sewer, covered by an illusion. It used to be used for daily communication by believers, but now it is blocked by boulders. There is also a teleportation array, which is a one-way teleportation and summons the devil from hell. "

"If you want to find Tavis, you need to go to the end of the passage on the left first, then turn right to enter the restaurant, and then go through the wine cellar, kitchen, storage room, and vestry room from the restaurant in turn. Come out of the vestry room, leave the room and enter the passage, then go right to the ceremony room, enter the secret temple from the left side of the ceremony room, and in the room on the right side of the secret temple, Tavis Craig is there. "

... Damn, there is so much information, but all this information is very useful.

Noshier's brain is running fast, and the past information and the present information are integrated with each other. The truth revealed in various details makes him make a rough guess with difficulty. Now he can roughly guess what all this is going on.

"The people chanting in the right passage are probably the devil believers that Qi Silin mentioned. They were summoned here sixteen days ago and participated in an action. They snatched something from another unknown devil cult. This thing is probably the reason why Qi Silin and the other two devils held a blood sacrifice."

"There are two possibilities for the road being blocked. One is to prevent the devil cult from coming to snatch the things back, and the other is to prevent the Baal assassins who may retaliate."

"Fan Sample undoubtedly tricked the assassins. She used the assassins' murderous frenzy to stir up trouble in Baldur's Gate, but such arrogant and indulgent behavior also caused a full-scale counterattack from the Flame Fist. Those assassins also suffered heavy casualties. They are likely to retaliate against the Duke of Fan Sample when they realize that he is using them."

Nosher couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.

"Heh, but it seems that those idiots haven't realized that they've been tricked yet, but that's normal. It's hard for these lunatics who have nothing else in their minds except killing to realize what role they play in this conspiracy."

"This six-month-long murder spree has completely paralyzed their nerves. Even Xie Nian, who barely has a brain among a group of lunatics, can hardly wake up from this carnival. It's better to say that he enjoys it. This can be judged based on the current situation."

"After all, if they really realized that they were being used, then the streets and alleys of Baldur's Gate should have been spreading the black material of Duke Van Sample's cooperation with the Baal Assassin. Because of historical reasons, being involved in Baldur's Gate and the Baal Cult is a serious crime even for the Duke. Once discovered, the lightest punishment she faces is exile of the entire family. This is because she is the Duke's face, otherwise the greater possibility is direct execution."

"The punishment is very severe, but this is also the most strange thing to me. Why did Van Sample suddenly do such a ruthless thing? You know, although those idiots have not yet realized that they were tricked, it is because the blow suffered by the cult is not severe enough. No important figures have been arrested, which has not aroused the vigilance of the top leaders, but too many assassins at the bottom have died."

"So far, hundreds of assassins have been hanged on the gallows next to the Baal Gate. Even for the Baal Cult, which does not take human life as life, this is still a major blow. Now they may react at any time to what is going on and then retaliate against the Duke."

"How dare she take such a big risk when the Baal Cult holds a lot of black material? Unless..."

A terrible guess came to his mind. Duke Van Sample may have started planning the current situation half a year ago. She may have known how to make Baldur's Gate follow the fate of Eltoril in a short period of time. Combined with her relationship with Tavis Craig, this possibility is really very high!

At present, the most likely thing to do this is the unidentified object they brought back more than ten days ago, and that unidentified object was snatched from another unknown devil cult, which means that thing is also a devil's thing. What if the nature of that unidentified object is similar to the companion sun over Eltoril...

"It's really fucking bad."

Noshier held his head with a headache. Although this is unknown and uncertain at present, if it is confirmed, Duke Fansample will have the confidence and strength to overturn the table, and the situation will become more sinister and dangerous. He must now find out the truth in this increasingly confusing situation.

"What exactly is that unidentified object? If that thing really has the ability to send Baldur's Gate to hell, why didn't Van Sample use it earlier?"

"Wait, wasn't she trying to use the devil's blood for sacrifice before? That means she is also likely to be trying to figure out how to use that thing. Yes, the situation is not that tense yet. I still have time to find out the truth, but now I must speed up."

Noshier shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, re-firmed his faith, and then used his mind to command the devil in front of him.

"Next, I need you to lead the way, take me to find another hedgehog fellow, and then help me go through the rooms mentioned before and find Tavis Craig."

"By the way, you seem to have mentioned the vestry before, which means that the cult you created has uniform clothing, right? Can your clothing cover your face?"

"Yes, you can."

"Very good."
