Chapter 396 The Truth
As Noshier expected, Olin did not come alone. He brought a team of 12 assassins, including four shapeshifters, six night blades, and two harvesters.
This was already a very luxurious teammate configuration, but at this time, Eltoril had just returned from hell. After experiencing such a terrible disaster, people were not defeated, but became more united. Everyone was 120% vigilant. When the riot occurred, it took less than 15 minutes for everyone to wake up.
Then, in less than half an hour, the news of Noshier's assassination spread throughout the city, but who was Noshier? He was the hero who saved the entire Eltor! He was the biggest contributor! All the people in Eltoril owed him a life! And this group of daring assassins dared to assassinate him!
There is no doubt that such behavior is enough to arouse public anger! No matter men or women, old people or children, all those who heard the news were still able to walk. As long as they could lift swords and torches, these angry people could spread their footprints all over the streets and alleys!
For a moment, the whole city was brightly lit, and through the extreme search methods of the citizens, coupled with the active actions of the Hell Knights, less than half an hour later, the group of 12 assassins including the shapeshifter had all been killed by the people!
Even Noshier himself couldn't help but sigh at the efficiency of such an efficient action. It was precisely because of such an efficient arrest operation that his interrogation could get the results as quickly as possible.
Although nine of the 12 assassins died in the process of resistance, these dead bodies were still able to speak. Through the dead conversation technique of Luciust's sacrifice, although these dead bodies did not know any particularly critical issues, they still helped him piece together most of the basic intelligence.
The skilled interrogator in the city garrison also used his unique punishment to pry open the mouths of the three assassins. Although the interrogator was interrogating Olin with torture, that guy was completely indifferent to boiling water and even tried to threaten Noshier with all kinds of crazy words, but you had expected that you would choose to ignore Olin's stinky mouth full of feces.
After piecing together basic intelligence information from those ordinary assassins, Noshier realized that the living Olin was useless, and then he did not give Olin the dignity that a legend should have. This guy didn't deserve it.
So Noshier just cut it in half with a neat axe, and then watched the hung Olin spurting blood crazily in silence. Until this time, Olin's eyes finally showed a trace of disbelief. I haven't made enough massacres in the mortal world to make Baal proud, and I haven't taken control of the Baal Cult from the evil thoughts. How can I... die here like this!
However, the truth is not subject to human will. From the moment of defeat at the hands of Noshir, fate was already determined. No matter how unwilling he was, death was already a foregone conclusion. Orin died without any peace.
Then Noshir used the dead conversation technique of the chief priest Luxiut to pull back his soul that had just drifted away, and learned some very critical information from Orin, who was completely dead.
The dead conversation technique allows the dead to answer five questions, which is enough to ask very critical information. Combined with the previous basic information, this is enough for Noshir to piece together the cause and effect of this attack.
"So that's it, it's because of this."
After piecing together the cause and effect, Noshir showed a helpless expression. To put it bluntly, the cause of this incident was still because of the return of Eltoril, which forced the Death Triumvirate to speed up the progress of the plan.
As early as half a year ago, the murder cult had been constantly committing murders in Baldur's Gate, and the purpose of doing so was to cause chaos, so as to find opportunities to subvert Baldur's Gate in the chaos.
Originally, the sudden disappearance of Eltoril some time ago had already accomplished most of their goals. In addition, the recent high alert of the Flame Fist made their movements inconvenient, and even gradually slowed down the frequency of murders.
But now, Eltoril has returned, and the chaos and fear along with the legend of the hero have been swept away, which is very unfavorable for their next plan. They must find a way to make chaos and panic sweep across the entire Northland again as before, so that everyone can be busy, so that they can quietly plan their own conspiracy in secret.
Noshier originally thought that during this period of time, whether it was Baal, Bane or the believers of Melkor, they would all focus all their attention on the plan of the Supreme God. However, in fact, the plan of the Supreme God that would appear in his mind in the future, in fact, up to now, Gotash has not completely proposed it, because they have not yet discovered that the crown has the ability to transform the main brain and give it the ability to produce alienated mind flayer tadpoles.
So far, the current tasks of the Death Triumvirate are actually quite scattered, and they have not yet been completely united because of the main brain as in the future.
At this time, Gotash was dealing with the Flaming Fist's search in Baldur's Gate, while at the same time gaining control of a large number of factories in Black Harbor through violence, coercion, money, bribery and other means. The purpose of these factories was probably to manufacture Iron Guards.
Kathrick Thom quietly recruited the army of the undead in the Shadow Curse Land, accumulating strength bit by bit.
As for the evil thoughts...
Well, in fact, Gotash has already come up with a crazy plan to control the main brain through the crown, and then use it to control the entire mind sucking monster community, but Gotash's plan has only just been implemented, and the evil thoughts just took on this task seven days ago.
The same is true for Olin. She received the task of assassinating Noshir seven days ago. As long as she can let this recently popular hero die in the city she saved, chaos and fear will inevitably spread like a hurricane throughout the North!
"Olin underestimated me, so he turned over. Their plan has failed, but did I catch up with such a time point?"
It seems that my arrival has affected the development of the future plot. In this original time period, the evil thoughts will be stabbed by Olin at the moment when he puts the crown on the main brain, and the legendary dagger he seized will pierce his brain, and he will die directly or lose his memory.
But now Olin is dead, and the evil thoughts have been dealing with the main brain for seven days, which makes Noshier start to worry. Has the evil thoughts successfully put the crown on the main brain?
"Each complete mind sucking monster community has at least hundreds of main members with a professional level and challenge level of at least level 10. Each of these members is a master of psychic power, an excellent master of controlling other people's minds and disrupting other people's brains. It is not so easy to break into the lowest brain pool under their protection."
"But the evil thoughts are not easy to mess with. Without Olin, the traitor, he may be able to break into the brain pool more easily, and then wear the crown on the main brain. This is possible."
But if this really happens, then the original plot, because of Olin's backstab, resulting in a slight flaw in the control of the main brain, will not happen again, and this means that the elects of the three gods of death will retain complete control over the main brain...
No! He had to speed up his pace and head to the Moonrise Tower to check the specific situation there. He had to take advantage of the fact that the main brain had not been completely transformed by the ancient Netheril magic in the crown and severely damage it! Even eliminate this biggest threat!
