Chapter 410 Understanding (4000)

"Done."

As the last ghost was chopped apart by Noshier's axe, the cold and weakness that had been shrouding him also quickly faded at the same time until he could no longer feel it.

Noshier looked around curiously after entering the shelter, and then he saw the familiar courtyard and the fountain in the center of the courtyard. In the game, there would be a Flame Fist and a Harpist chatting next to the fountain. In his memory, the Flame Fist was foul-mouthed, so he still had an impression of him, but of course there would be no Flame Fist soldiers here now.

The interior of the barn in the distance was pitch black, with neither livestock nor the blacksmith he was familiar with. With more careful observation, he found that the area occupied by this shelter was a little larger than expected. It didn't seem so in the game, but in reality, if this shelter was repaired, it would probably be no problem to accommodate even five or six hundred people.

"I didn't expect to meet you again so soon, Noshir. Although the scene is a little strange, it's great to see you at this time."

As Leon spoke, he walked to Noshir in a familiar manner. The half-drow dragon monk showed a friendly smile on his handsome face and slowly raised his right hand, wanting to greet him cordially. Noshir also came to his senses and stretched out his right hand to shake hands with him.

"It seems that I came in time, but I didn't expect that you would come to pick me up. I communicated with the master once on the way here using the sound stone. The master said that you were seriously injured, but now it seems that you are fine?"

"Haha, Ilmet, you really came in time, but explaining my injuries and other things... Hey, you should come with me first, I will take you to the master."

"I am not good at explaining these things, so let the master come. I will introduce you to a lady by the way. That lady is our savior. If we hadn't met her..."

As Leon spoke, he took Noshir to the two-story main building in the middle. Noshir also listened and followed quickly. Leon did not tell him about their experiences in the past few days, but he kept talking about Isobel, the priest of Selene.

According to Leon, if this priest had not suddenly appeared when they were in desperate situation before, used the healing magic to hang on their lives, and then used the teleportation spell to teleport them to this "safe" place, he and the others would have died long ago.

Noshier did not comment on Leon's statement. If Jahira had not exaggerated Leon's injury before, then he could recover from serious injury to the point where it would not affect the battle in such a short time. This alone was enough to prove Isobel's healing ability. Although the priests of the Silver Mother were all powerful healers, it was still quite exaggerated to be able to reach the level of Isobel.

Noshier followed Leon into the huge two-story building while listening, and finally saw Master Jahira, who looked tired, standing next to a table and carefully looking at the map on the table.

Next to Master Jahira, Noshier also saw two people who looked like civilians, but with bows and staffs in their hands. They wore silver moon and harp emblems on their necks. Obviously, they were regular harpists like the master.

'Besides Leon and his friends, there are other harpists here? It is a bit like in the game, but there are too few harpists. There are only three including the master, which is a big difference from the game. '

'It seems that this place was not used as a base by the Harpers from the beginning. These Harpers should also be outsiders who came with Master Jaheira. '

The brainstorm flashed by, but it did not affect Noshir in reality.

"See you again, Master."

Noshir jumped out, and Jaheira also raised his head. His originally gloomy expression instantly relaxed a lot after seeing him.

"You came so quickly, Noshir, and it was also at the right time."

Jaheira breathed a sigh of relief, walked out from behind the table, and came to Noshir.

In Jaheira's eyes, Noshir was an irreplaceable strong aid. With him, all problems could be solved, and Noshir was very eager to know what Jaheira and his team had encountered. Only by obtaining enough intelligence could he take targeted actions.

"... In short, that's it."

After a long talk, Noshir finally learned from the master about their experience on this trip. In short, most of their experiences were the same as Noshir's previous guesses.

First, the group passed by this place on their way back to Baldur's Gate, and then they were attracted by the danger signs drawn by the local Harpers. In the end, they simply stayed there and investigated the abnormalities of the Shadowland directly on the spot. Noshiel's guess was almost correct, and the subsequent developments were no exception.

During the exploration of this place, the group found the source of the abnormality, that is, the Moonrise Tower, but when they wanted to conduct a more detailed exploration, an accident occurred.

They were discovered, but unlike Noshiel's original guess, it was not Catheric or the undead under Catheric who discovered them, but a team of mind flayers.

That's right, the Mind Flayers, the most dangerous species in the entire material plane, are powerful enemies that they could not have anticipated. Originally, as a legendary druid, Master Jaheira could have used spells to help them block the senses of the undead, so that they could easily explore the entire Moonrise Tower, but the appearance of the Mind Flayers was an unexpected accident.

In just a moment, a whole squad of ten Mind Flayers suddenly flashed in front of them with the ability of teleportation, followed by a fast and violent mind blast!

At the same moment, a large amount of violent purple mind energy fluctuations rushed towards them like a tsunami!

It is difficult to deal with a single mind blast, not to mention 10 Mind Flayers launching this skill together, the power is even more terrifying. Mind blast is the forte of the Mind Flayers. It is fast, powerful, wide-ranging, and very difficult to resist. These are the advantages of this skill.

With low power, it can easily suppress large-scale slave riots, and with high power, it can easily kill people. Just this wave of surprise attacks almost wiped out the master and his army. If the master had not reacted in time and activated his own defense props the moment the mind flayer appeared, helping everyone to block most of the damage from the first wave of surprise attacks, they might have really overturned there.

At that time, Jahira wanted to announce the retreat. When she found that the Tower of the Beginning was the base camp of Keseric, Jahira was already very shocked and became 12 points alert.

Because she had fought with Keseric before, she knew how cruel and cunning that guy was. Now that he was resurrected and mixed with the mind flayer, he must be plotting a bigger conspiracy. It was worth it to find out part of his details today. The next thing to do was to evacuate quickly, but Minsk was so angry!

It was like that before. Once a fight started, this guy would become reckless! Even if Jaheira had asked him to come back at the first opportunity, Minsk, who was already deeply surrounded by the Mind Flayers, could not withdraw in a short time even if he wanted to obey.

There was no other way, Jaheira and Leon could only go up to support him, and in order to quickly evacuate from danger, Jaheira started with an ice cone that almost covered the entire hall. The fierce attack not only disrupted the rhythm of the Mind Flayers, but also gained an opportunity for his own attack.

Leon, the monk, almost did not touch the ground, ignoring the smooth surface, flew into the air, and quickly hammered to death two Mind Flayers with his chic posture and sharp punches. Minsk also used his invincible sword to chop down two Mind Flayers. This instantaneous result has opened the way for evacuation.

The three people present did not fight to the end, and even Minsk chose to retreat under Xiaobu's persuasion, but this delay was enough for the crisis to surround them again with lightning speed.

A large number of undead blocked their retreat, and Keseric appeared in person. Keseric was accompanied by his capable subordinate, the necromancer Balthazar, and Balthazar's twin brother, the flesh golem called Rourou.

In just a moment, the situation came to the worst. Because of Minsk's recklessness, even if they reacted very quickly, they still wasted the best time to evacuate. They had to start a Jedi Battle Royale before the encirclement was completely formed.

Those ordinary undead skeletons were not a problem. Jaheira only needed to transform into an owl bear to directly beat these ordinary skeletons into debris with his savage body and strong arms, but the flesh golem named Rourou was like a mountain, blocking their key retreat, and behind them was the magic of the necromancer and the death knight Keseric who was pressing step by step.

Such a dangerous situation almost makes people despair, but the three people present are not ordinary people. Minsk, who knows that he has caused trouble, chose to make meritorious deeds and blocked most of the pursuers behind him.

And Leon chose to use the powerful resonant air to deal with the flesh golem. The unique characteristics of air that can attack the body, causing internal damage and negative effects, Leon successfully hit the golem into stiffness, and Jaheira took this opportunity to pick up the golem in one breath, and then smashed it through the outer wall of the Moonrise Tower as if it were a boulder.

In this way, they successfully escaped. Although in the process, Minsk was hit in the chest by Keseric's hammer and broke several ribs. When Leon dealt with the flesh golem, his body was scraped by its right arm meteor hammer, taking away several pounds of flesh. Even the master's owl bear form was full of arrows, but they finally escaped from the tower successfully.

They successfully joined up with the other two Harpers outside the tower, and in the following escape, they met Isobel who appeared in front of them. Then Isobel used a teleportation spell to bring them here and settled down in the End Light Inn. It was not until then that Master Jaheira had time to check the message sent to him by Noshir.

"...It's really hard for you. You actually encountered so many dangers."

"It's like this when you act with Minsk. I thought I was used to it, but he left for more than 200 years, and I became unaccustomed to it again... Alas."

Noshir was speechless. Jaheira and Minsk had known each other for more than 200 years. They were close friends who had experienced countless life-and-death adventures together. Although the master was now complaining about Minsk, in fact, their friendship was not so easily destroyed.

In the game, Minsk was controlled by the Mind Flayer for a period of time and became a stone lord who ravaged the underground world of Baldur's Gate. When the player led a team to attack the stone lord, Jaheira would even go against his usual practice and keep saying not to kill him. There must be other ways to remove his control. Only then could the player feel the solidity of their friendship from Jaheira's sharp words.

"Master, where are Minsk and Xiaobu? Why can't I see them?"

"They are upstairs, staying with our savior. That guy's injury is a bit serious and he is still recuperating. It's better not to disturb them for now. Rather than this, let's discuss what to do next."

Planning how to act next is indeed very important, because they currently have too few people. For safety reasons, Jahira and his team did not bring too many ordinary harpists when exploring here.

The danger here is not something that ordinary people can deal with, so they only brought two additional personnel. They are the initiators of this mission and the two most powerful harpists in that group, the man and woman next to the master.

The woman is called Sandra, a warlock with a professional level of about level 7, and the man is called Jonas, a ranger with a professional level of about level 4.

If they are judged by Noshier's standards, they are not strong, but in this world, as long as they are professionals, they have the combat power of one against ten ordinary people. Although the actual combat ability of these two is a little weak, it is definitely not useless, at least not a drag.

Noshier also wanted to get to know them, but when he looked at them, he saw a trace of panic and vigilance in their eyes and movements.

Noshier was a little surprised at their attitude for a while. He hadn't seen other people show this expression to him for a long time, but it was normal when he thought about it carefully.

The more remote the village, the less they knew about tieflings. Moreover, Noshier was a special species with wings. In the eyes of most ordinary people, tieflings like him were no different from demons.

Although Noshier's reputation had spread throughout the North during this period of time, even so, without seeing it with their own eyes, it was difficult for these ordinary people to trust him at the first time, not to mention that they were now surrounded by a lot of bound spirits and ghosts. Even if the master had explained it to them in advance, they could not easily let down their guard.

In fact, the North is relatively good. At least there are quite a large number of Tieflings. After hundreds of years, even if there is discrimination or fear against Tieflings, they will not be beaten or killed right away. But if you go a little further east and come to traditional countries like Amn or Cormyr, Noshir will be hanged directly based on his appearance.
