Chapter 519 The Stolen Hammer of Orpheus

For Nohill, who is familiar with the plot and character settings, this news is not a secret at all in his eyes, but Raphael's name for Gotash really made him a little concerned, because he actually said that he and Gotash Is there some personal grudge between them?

This is a very unusual thing. As a big devil, Raphael has countless people who hate him and fear him in this world, but there are people who can make Raphael remember him and even have some personal grudges. , you can really count them with one slap.

Although Gotash had been a slave in Hope County before, and even managed to escape in the end, this kind of thing would only make Raphael temporarily unhappy at most, and would not be remembered for too long at all. There is no personal grudge at all. After all, there is at most a slight connection between them, but now with Raphael's tone...

‘Did Gotash do something that could anger Raphael during this period of time? ’

Nohill was not sure, he just guessed in his mind, but soon, Raphael's detailed explanation that followed completely confirmed Nohill's previous guess.

"...This is almost the relationship I had with that ungrateful bastard before. Alas, mortal life is so fleeting. In my impression, Gotash at that time was just a thin and pitiful little boy. You bastard, you just managed to escape from my house with a little bit of luck and cleverness."

"However, I have to say that that guy did accomplish something that no one has ever accomplished before. Although this rebellious behavior slightly damaged my majesty, but for the sake of his hard work, I will not be able to do it in the future. I didn’t bother to look for him anymore. After all, he was just a slave and not worthy of my war.”

When Raphael said this, his expression suddenly turned gloomy, and he continued to speak to Nohir.

"But I didn't expect that this little bastard would dare to come back to my house after disappearing for more than ten years. He had to remember my upbringing for more than ten years. He even dared to team up with another guy to take advantage of me. While I was away from Hope County, I broke into my storage room and stole one of my most precious treasures.”

A sneer suddenly flashed across Raphael's face. He turned to look at Nohir and spoke slowly to him.

"The former slaves actually turned into thieves, and now they even dare to come back to steal the master's property. This is such a shameless, dirty and hateful heart. These damn thieves have disturbed my peace and broken my order and rules. , and in my world - in my house, my order and rules are the most important laws."

"They committed the most heinous crime. They stole my precious treasures and brought chaos and disorder into my home. This damn humiliation can only be repaid with their blood."

Nohir frowned.

"What treasure? What did that guy take from your house?"

Nohir's words awakened Raphael into extreme emotions. He regained his elegant posture and continued.

"A hammer, a hammer that will bring you destruction."

...The Hammer of Orpheus? !

Nohir instantly understood what Gotash was and what they had taken away, but why? What do they want this hammer for? That thing is just a thing that can...

"That is my most precious collection, and it is also a legendary key that can open every lock in the world. It can easily release any prisoner imprisoned in the Iron City of Dis, Nagus The cellar can be broken easily by this hammer, but the real purpose of casting it is not for these guys. The lock that can really match this hammer is actually the real name of this hammer. "

"I call him Orpheus, the Hammer of Orpheus. You may not know what that name means, but in fact, it means the end of the great plan of the illithids, and the beginning of the schism of the Githyanki. , also means your coming destruction.”

The thoughts in Nohir's mind flashed like lightning. In an instant, his brain began to work rapidly. He quickly pieced together all the existing clues and came up with a vague idea as quickly as possible. conclusion.

The fact that the Hammer of Orpheus was stolen only means that Gotash and the others have probably changed their target to the hammer that runs through the entire plot in Baldur's Gate 3, but in Nohir in this timeline thought that the treasure that could no longer appear was on the legendary astral prism!

While Nohill was brainstorming, Raphael's subsequent words quickly confirmed Nohill's guess.

"In case you don't understand, let me first explain the origin of this hammer to you in detail. Well, actually, it doesn't need to be too detailed. You just need to know that this hammer can open a lock, and that lock is A hellish contract from ancient times, and the name of the person locked in this hellish contract is actually the name of this hammer. "

“The legendary Orpheus, the Comet Prince. In the true history of the Githyanki, he is the original leader of the Githyanki, a child of Gith, and the most orthodox of the Githyanki race. The royal bloodline, the absolute leader, the supreme heir to the throne...that's how it should be."

“But it is a pity that the Githyanki race is born with a strong sense of tragedy. In ancient times, when the legendary mind flayer empire was still glorious, the ancestors of the Githyanki people had just overthrown the mind flayers. Under the rule of the Demon Empire, the name of the race was changed to the Gith, and when they were about to embark on the road to glory, a very covert rebellion occurred. "

"Well, the specific details about this rebellion are strictly confidential in Hell, so I won't tell you the whole story. You only need to know that Gith, the original queen of the Githyanki, was there during that incident. After the Gith disappeared, Gith's chief of staff, Vlaakith, took the throne of Gith and sealed off the existence of the Comet Prince from the tribe. He then continued to maliciously distort the true identity of the Githyanki for a long time. History, to protect the longevity of Vlaakis’ own rule.”

“However, no paper can stop the fire. Although Vlaakis has tried his best to spread negative rumors about Orpheus among the Githyanki, Orpheus is the true orthodoxy after all. The true blood of Gith, his body contains the fundamental power that allowed the Githyanki to defeat the mind flayer empire in ancient times.”

"It is a powerful skill that can forcibly extinguish all psychic reactions in a large area, making all monsters, whether ordinary mind flayers or masterminds, lose their ability to resist. As long as Orpheus can one day escape from the trap and fight to If a Githyanki shows this kind of power, in just a moment, he can directly gain the support of at least half of the Githyanki, and this will seriously shake up Vlaakith's rule."
