Chapter 279: Tom's Vision of the Worlds

270,000th World Insight

This is a devout priest who believes in the god of loyalty, Torm. He is one of the few survivors left when the cathedral was destroyed. When Eltoril fell into hell, he and several other survivors were lucky to escape because they were out on business.

In this meeting, as a former Torm priest, he is now the highest-ranking clergyman in the entire Eltoril. He listened to the meeting on behalf of the religious side and had not made any remarks before, but now he suddenly stood up.

Everyone turned their eyes to the serious-looking, gray-haired old man. They all began to wonder what the old man was going to say when he suddenly stood up at this time?

"Respected Grand Duke, and those who are equally respectable, willing to fight for Eltoril, and intend to bleed for Eltoril, please forgive my sudden remarks at this time."

The old priest bowed deeply to everyone, and the Grand Duke waved his hand quickly, indicating that there was no need for courtesy.

The Duke himself believes in the loyal god Torm, just like the priest. According to Torm's doctrine, as followers of Torm, there is no distinction between them, so even if he is the Grand Duke, he should not accept the salute of a priest.

"Priest Lucius, please do not salute, please tell us directly what you think. As a follower of Torm, the priest suddenly spoke at this time. Did he receive a warning from our god Torm?"

Lucius shook his head slowly.

"I'm sorry, Duke. Although it is very disrespectful to say this, I'm afraid that even the eyes of our Lord cannot directly penetrate the endless darkness of the Nine Hells. Since I came here, since the cathedral was destroyed, I haven't heard the enlightenment of our god for a long time."

"Then why did the priest stand up at this time?"

Advisor Floric looked at the priest in confusion and said, and the priest did not continue to keep him in suspense.

"To convey a message, a message that may help us win in the end."

The priest looked at everyone and spoke slowly. Just before everyone was about to continue to express doubts about the priest's riddle, he gave a detailed explanation.

"I am Priest Lucius, a devout believer of our god Torm. Before this nightmare happened, I, as the 12th new priest of the cathedral, happened to lead some believers to purchase mass supplies for sacrifices, preparing to celebrate the establishment of diplomatic relations between Baldur's Gate and Eltoril."

"But everyone knows what happened afterwards. Just when I purchased enough sacrificial supplies and led the believers back to the cathedral, the city was dragged into hell without me being able to react. I saw with my own eyes that the cathedral was destroyed by the evil demon Zariel, and the huge fire meteor instantly penetrated the church's defenses. All colleagues, including the high priest, were killed, and I, as a small priest, was lucky enough to escape. I believe you should have known this news."

Everyone nodded immediately after hearing this, but they still didn't understand why Priest Lucius said this?

"You know this information, but in fact, you don't know why the evil demon wants to do this. Maybe you all think that the evil demon wants to destroy the cathedral and the statue of our god Torm just to prevent the glory of God from shining on Eltoril and to cut off the connection between us slaves and the Lord."

"Isn't that the case?"

Duke Ravengard frowned and asked in confusion, while Priest Lucius shook his head and nodded.

"That's right, but only part of the reason is that the evil demon wants to destroy the cathedral. In addition to this purpose, there is another more important purpose."

When Priest Lucius said this, there was a struggle in his eyes. Obviously, what he was going to say next was a secret that needed to be strictly protected even for Torm's believers, but the current situation forced him to make this secret public.

Priest Lucius took a deep breath and re-firmed his will. He opened his eyes and looked around at everyone. Thinking of their previous performance, the priest clearly understood that these people should be worthy of his entrusting the secret, so he no longer hesitated.

"That evil demon, I saw it fly into the ruins of the church after destroying it, and took something from it. That thing is very important. If we can find it back, relying on that thing, we may not even need to find the contract, and we can directly return to the main material plane with the entire city."

"What is that thing?"

The people who heard the words of the priest immediately realized the value of that thing, and everyone's attention instantly became unprecedentedly focused, even Noshir.

Even if he had discussed a plan before, for the people in hell, one more choice means one more way out, and Noshir was not arrogant enough to think that his plan would definitely succeed.

"It's a divine weapon."

"Divine weapon!"

Everyone was instantly in an uproar, and even Noshir's eyes shrank sharply when he heard the word.

Divine weapon! As someone who has seen many legendary items and knows the power of legendary items, Noshir is probably the one who can best appreciate and imagine the power of divine weapons among the people present.

His crown and gloves are legendary-level items. These two alone have raised Nohir's combat effectiveness by several levels out of thin air, even allowing him, who is only at level eight professional level, to have the confidence to challenge legendary-level creatures.

As for the artifact, as a creation that is more powerful than the legendary equipment, its specific power is even somewhat unimaginable to Nohill. He only knows that once this item can be retrieved, it might really be like this old priest. As said, even if you don't have to retrieve the contract, you can directly take the entire city back to the main material plane.

"Where is that thing now? What does it look like? What is its specific effect?"

The Grand Duke immediately asked the priest for specific information about the artifact, but in response to this information, the priest just shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty Duke, I'm just a priest. Although this position can barely be regarded as a high-level position in the temple, I am just qualified to know the existence of this artifact. I know its specific effects. Actually, not much. I just heard the chief priest once say that after wearing that artifact, you can communicate directly with my god Tom, but I can't guarantee whether this information is true. "

Able to communicate directly with God!

"Okay, now I'm beginning to believe that this artifact can really take us out of hell."

"Being able to communicate with God? This is so outrageous!"

"That's not necessarily true, and even if we can communicate with God, what can we do? Pray that God will send His angels who sit down?"

"It's not impossible!"

"……."

"Okay! Wait a minute, everyone, please be quiet. There are still some key questions that have not been answered!"

The Duke's loud scolding successfully stopped everyone's chaos. Ravengard looked at the people who had calmed down and shook his head, and then looked at Priest Lu Xiuite.

"I'm sorry, Priest Lu Xiute, but could you please continue to tell us some news about that artifact."

"It doesn't matter, Lord Duke. When I first heard about the existence of this artifact, my reaction was not much better than yours."

The corners of the priest's mouth twitched slightly. Nohir felt that he wanted to smile, but considering that he was one of the only survivors, he was not in the mood to show too happy expression, let alone them He also lost an artifact that was absolutely crucial and of great significance to Thom's trust. Under such circumstances, the priest could still maintain such a stable performance, which can be regarded as extraordinary.

"[Thom's Vision·Insight of All Realms], this is the name of that artifact. Its shape is a golden helmet with flying wings on both sides. I don't know that the evil demon took it away. Where, but I'm afraid the devil will try to destroy this artifact."

"Although the artifact is supposedly indestructible, this is hell, and I can't guarantee what will happen. So please, brave warriors, if you can discover the whereabouts of this artifact while exploring Avernus below. , please also let us know.”

"Thom's followers are willing to pay any price to get it back!"
