An Ordinary Fantasy Adventure in the Continent of Faerun

Chapter 120 Hidden Lord

"It seems that talking telepathically scares you a bit, so in order to express my friendliness, I will communicate in a way that is more suitable for you mortals."

This time the voice no longer came from his head, but came directly from the shield.

"A talking shield? This is really an eye-opener for me, but this - Miss? Sorry, you are a shield after all, so even if your voice is female, I dare not assume your gender, but this That’s not the point. The point is, are you interested in telling me about your origins?”

Nohill asked the shield with some curiosity. Based on the conversation he had eavesdropped on before, Nohill felt that something should be sealed in this shield. Otherwise, why would Tavis want to let it go free?

And the person who was sealed is probably not a good person, at least not a kind and righteous person. Otherwise, why would he agree to cooperate with a scum like Tavis?

"Ha~ you are using your politeness on meaningless things, mortal. If you want to show some respect to me, then please pick me up from this dirty floor right now and put me wherever you want. Works fine on the table or hanging on the wall.”

"But don't touch me with your dirty weapons again. Touching me with those devil's weapons would be a great insult to me."

Scar: "You seem to be some kind-hearted heavenly resident when you say this, but before you explain your origin clearly, don't let us touch you even once, you are a suspicious object of unknown origin."

Nohir also smiled and said to the shield when he heard this.

"What my companion said was very impolite and a bit rude, but what he said is right. Miss Shield, who doesn't know the details, please quickly explain your source honestly and don't play any tricks."

"Otherwise, I would rather dig a hole and bury you in the ground right now than take the risk of touching you rashly. Maybe you have some kind of curse on you."

As Nohir said this, he poked it twice with the long knife in his hand.

"Rude mortal! How dare you treat a resident of the upper world like this! My compatriots have made so many contributions to you, can't so many righteous deeds earn even this little trust?"

"The premise is that you are really a celestial creature who was accidentally sealed into the shield. If you can't prove this, then you won't be able to win any trust and respect from me."

"I'm sealed in the shield now, how do you want me to prove it? Isn't my friendly reminder five minutes ago enough to prove my sincerity? After just such a short while, you have already forgotten my reminder and help. Already?"

The female voice in the shield suddenly became a little sad, and Nohir felt an inexplicable guilt in his heart, and the shield continued to speak at this time.

"But it's no wonder. After all, you didn't listen to me at all. If you had listened to my advice and killed Tavis from the beginning, you wouldn't have encountered the slightest risk. But you didn't. You didn't listen to me. Advice, this puts you at unnecessary risk.”

The feeling of guilt is getting stronger and stronger... No! Why should I feel guilty? Why should I take orders from a guy of unknown origin?

Tavis had been seriously injured before and fell to the ground. Even if he was still alive with that level of injury, he would only have one breath left. In that case, if he was really not dead, then capturing him alive would be the top priority. My decision had no bearing on it. mistake.

Even though it was an unexpected situation that Tavis summoned a group of demons later, these demons were all eliminated in less than ten seconds with the cooperation of the two of them.

Although this unexpected incident did bring certain risks, given the scene at the time, no one could have imagined that Tavis could still speak.

Therefore, in Nohir's view at the time, the shield's sudden speech was not so much a verbal reminder, but rather an attempt to kill people and silence them with Nohir's hands.

At this moment, Nohir suddenly realized that his thoughts were a little abnormal. The words spoken by the shield in front of him seemed too inflammatory. He was sure that the fluctuations in his thoughts were not caused by magic, but it was precisely because of this that it seemed terrifying. .

After possessing the three major totems to protect his body, Nohir is very sensitive to the magic acting on others. If this shield is using magic to change Nohir's cognition, then the totems on his body will definitely give some hints. , but not magic?

Nohill was a little confused about who could do this? If converted to a living thing, if you want to be able to stir up a person's thoughts with just a few words, then that person's charm must be at least 20 points, right?

But there is nothing but a shield in front of him.

At this moment, the shield continued.

"Young Tiefling, I don't know why you came to this place infested by demons, but now I need your help. The Hidden Lord needs your help, and you also need my help. Please believe me. ”

"My presence here was definitely not my intention, and the reason why I was sealed in this shield was a huge conspiracy."

"If you can help me get out of trouble, I swear, I will do my best to repay you. And although I am a shield now, I can also provide you with help, such as intelligence."

"The reason why you two came here must be because of the tragedy that happened recently, right? That guy Tavis told me everything, and I can help you find evidence of Tavis's betrayal."

It sounds like the truth, but is there evidence of Tavis's betrayal? Is he talking about the Hell Mystery Box? Does the shield really know where Tavis hid that box?

Nohir couldn't help but fell into thinking. He began to think about the credibility of this shield's words. However, at this moment, Nohir was suddenly stunned.

What did this shield just call itself?

"...I'm sorry, who did you just say you were? I have some research on celestial creatures. What did you call yourself just now? I seem to have a little impression of this name."

The shield that was chattering suddenly stopped, and after a few seconds, it suddenly changed its tone and spoke in a proud sentence.

"My real name has long been lost in the long river of history. Since the day I was sealed, my memory has been seriously lacking, but I still remember my former nickname: [Hidden Lord]!"

"You can call me [Hidden Lord]."
