An ordinary fantasy adventure in the continent of Faerun
Chapter 79 Causes and consequences
Ska nodded when he heard this. As long as he got the evidence, he would call the Flame Fist. Noshiel's plan was indeed safe enough, but at this moment he suddenly reacted.
"You plan to sneak into a duke's mansion by yourself?"
Ska asked him in disbelief. A duke who might be colluding with the devil, the place where she lived was already very dangerous, and now this duke might have an unclear relationship with the murder cult, which made this already dangerous action even more dangerous.
How could Noshiel be sure that he could do such a thing alone?
"Don't worry, I will plan the specific actions well, and it's not really dangerous. Baldur's Gate prohibits private establishment of an army. Even the duke has only a few bodyguards around him at most. What's more, if this duke really has something shameful to do, she may not even hire too many servants."
If this duke really cooperates with the devil and the murder god cult at the same time, then she is more likely to directly summon the devil to garrison in the duke's mansion. After all, the discipline of the devil is really beyond doubt. If it can be effectively controlled, it is indeed a good hand to use it to guard the house.
"And there's probably no need to worry about the God of Murder assassins in the Duke's mansion. Thanks to their notoriety, no one will let these assassins get too close to them, even if they are collaborators."
This is a true story. Think about that crazy woman Olin. In the original world line, she stabbed Evil Thought in the back without hesitation. It can be said that it was her stab that led to the failure of the Supreme God's plan. She could kill the leader, let alone others. All the assassins in the Baal Cult are basically like this. No one will completely trust them.
"So just trust me, don't forget my previous experience. Although I haven't told you, if you want to survive in the wilderness, you can't survive without good stealth skills."
"And I didn't say I would act alone. You can meet me outside. After all, you can't sneak into the Duke's Mansion wearing this secondary plate armor. Just wait for me outside. I will withdraw immediately after I succeed."
Noshier said confidently. In addition to his confidence in his own stealth skills, it is more because he has guessed the cause and effect of the whole incident through these intelligence. When the intelligence is sufficient, he will naturally have confidence in his heart.
First is the biggest suspect, Duke Salamara Van Sampple.
If Noshier's guess is true, the duke may have cooperated with the God of Murder Cult for nearly 30 years. She has eliminated countless competitors for her in secret with the help of the Murder Cult. While she is rising step by step, she also provides hiding places for these lunatics in the sewers she controls.
This is the basis of their cooperation.
But as we all know, the followers of the God of Murder are all a bunch of lunatics, and the Duke of Van Sample had three husbands, but none of them lived for more than two years. Noshil suspected that this was probably done by the followers of the God of Murder.
As for why this was done? Noshil guessed that it was probably to clear the Duke of Van Sample of suspicion.
All three husbands died at the hands of assassins, so who would suspect that she was related to those assassins who had a grudge against her husband?
However, this plan may not have been thought up by the Duke, but more likely it was proposed by those cult assassins, because this would remind the Duke of who got his position.
If they can kill your husband, they can also kill you. Under this invisible deterrence, the Duke of Van Sample will become more obedient, which is more in line with the interests of the cult. In fact, this is also the most commonly used "cooperation" method of those cults.
And the Duke of Van Sample is likely to hate those cultists because of this incident, especially after she became a duke with the help of these assassins.
Because she is already in a high position, she does not need the existence of these assassins at all. No, not only does she not need them, she hopes that those assassins will die directly.
These lunatics who believe in the god of murder not only threaten her personal safety at all times, but also make her status shaky because of these assassins. Their existence has made her unable to sleep and eat. Life, rights and status are no longer in her control. She must want to completely eradicate these lunatics, no matter what the cost.
But because of her past experience, her foundation is not clean at all, so she can't eliminate these assassins through the regular forces of Baldur's Gate. If that were the case, those assassins would definitely drag her to death before they die. Without the cover of those assassins, others can find out a lot of her black materials with just a casual check.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Duke will be threatened by them for life.
She will spend the rest of her life in fear and completely become a pawn of the Baal Cult, and just at this moment!
A turning point appeared.
Zariel, the Grand Duke of Avernus, contacted Duke Van Sampler in some way and brought out the devils' signature play.
A contract, a contract that would drag Baldur's Gate into hell. Duke VanSample, who was in dire straits, signed the contract without hesitation. Even if it meant that the whole city would fall into hell, she would make those evil cult lunatics pay a heavy price. In order to achieve this goal, she needed to climb to the position of Grand Duke.
So she designed to let these assassins go crazy in Baldur's Gate. Such a crazy murder feast is exactly what the cultists want to see, so they are happy to accept it, and the duke also tried his best to help these assassins avoid the search and pursuit of the Flaming Fist.
If this goes on for a long time, it is bound to make the Marshal of the Flaming Fist, Urd Ravengard, lose face, and it may even shake his position as the Grand Duke. At this time, Duke Van Sample began to add fuel to the flames.
She persuaded Ravengard to go to Eltoril to resolve the long-standing trade friction between the two cities. If this matter can be resolved, many nobles will gain huge trade benefits. Those nobles will naturally continue to support the Grand Duke, making his position as the Grand Duke as stable as a mountain.
But what was unexpected was that Urd Ravengard was indeed a man of noble character. He only wanted to completely solve the high frequency of murders in Baldur's Gate and did not want to divert the public's attention by relying on other political achievements.
But as a Grand Duke, his will often changes because of other people, because the Grand Duke must listen to other people's opinions to prevent himself from being arbitrary, and the proposal of Duke Van Sample, at least on the surface, has no flaws.
So although she spent more effort, the Grand Duke was finally persuaded, and then the familiar Eltoril was dragged into hell.
This is almost the cause and effect, and it is also the most reasonable guess that Noshier can make, so if this guess is true, then Noshier should be able to obtain key evidence soon.
If there are really many demons in the Duke's Mansion, it means that Noshier's guess is basically right, and if you want to deal with demons.
It's time to fill the vacant gems on this crown.
