The knight in the abyss

Chapter 732 The Birth of a New God

"Kranvor's soul was hidden?" Lancelot frowned, "Who did it?"

"Let's go back in time a little bit, at the top of the Black Rod Tower, how did Cyric kill Kelemvor?"

"Use that sword called Godkiller..." Lancelot's eyes widened. "Musk, the god of thieves? Damn it, you've already reminded me..."

"Haha, yes, but Cyric himself didn't know anything about it. It was the sword that made him the status, and the prince of lies didn't realize that he had been deceived by lies until the last moment." Karaline laughed. said, "Musk planned to betray Cyric from the very beginning and wanted to steal his priesthood, so he hid the victim's soul when he pierced Kelemvor's body. In fact, to Making a soul undiscoverable by the Lord of the Dead, something only another god can do, further increased Cyric's paranoia, and he decided to create an artifact called the Cyricum as a tribute to the gods. revenge."

"Cyric...?" Lancelot scratched his head in confusion, "From the story I heard just now, the thief seems to prefer holding a dagger for killing people rather than a quill for writing."

"Of course not, but while inheriting the priesthood of the Three Gods of Death, Cyric also inherited the church of the Three Gods of Death...at least those who are willing to swear allegiance to him. Although he cannot use magic himself, those who were once loyal to Bane, Baal Or the wizards of Melkor invented special ink, parchment, and prayers, and then incorporated these prayers into the text in a special pattern, so that anyone who read it could believe what was written in it. ——Cyric is the only true god——is the truth of the multiverse. This method is not very mysterious, but it is very clever, because it actually allows the reader to cast a spell on himself, so it will not If there is a chance of resistance, it will take effect immediately."

"Don't read things of unknown origin, remember." Lancelow nodded, "But this kind of artifact shouldn't be so easy to make?"

"Yes, it is said that Cyric recruited hundreds of scribes, but everyone went mad before finishing. Cyric chained these poor souls in his palace and set them on fire Eternal torment. It wasn't until Cyric kidnapped Linda, perhaps the only good soul in Zhentil Keep, that the Cyric Book was finally completed. The Prince of Lies determined that through this artifact, he could make followers of other gods They all turn to worship themselves, and according to Io's will, those gods who lose the support of their believers will gradually wither and eventually perish..."

"Can such a conspiracy really hide from the gods?" Lancelot's eyes widened, "It's impossible for them to have no reaction to this..."

"Yes, when Cyric tried to make this artifact, he had already attracted the attention of Oghma, the patron of bards and the god of knowledge. And Musk couldn't sit still at this time, If you sit back and watch the completion of the Cyric, the Prince of Lies might really be able to rewrite history, so he threatened Kelemvor's soul and asked Midnight to cooperate with Oghma to help him defeat Cyric and replace him. Location."

"When the Ciri was completed, the Prince of Lies wanted to test it first on Fuzzel Chebri, a former priest of Bane and lord of Zhentalimpet. However, Chebri had already read Cyric True Biography, a booklet co-produced by Musk and Oghma, also transcribed by Linda, which records Cyric’s real deeds. Later deeds prove that Chebury never gave up on his real master Bane... ..."

"In other words, Cyric finally completed this tome full of his flattery." Lancelow raised an eyebrow, "My intuition tells me that making such a powerful and dangerous The artifact must have gone wrong somewhere..."

"Haha, you guessed right." A happy smile appeared on Kara Lin's face, "Perhaps because he wanted to know how he was touted in the Ciri Book, the Prince of Lies couldn't help but read this book named after him. The masterpiece named, and the Cyric, as Musk expected, also took effect on Cyric, but Cyric himself did not realize it immediately."

"What happened next?"

"Cyric killed Linda with the God-killing sword, and ordered Chebury to recite the Cyre Sutra publicly in Zhenta Limbo before dawn the next day, and then walked away proudly... However, Musk kept his hand in secret. Rick didn't know that everyone around him was secretly against him, Linda was healed by Oghma and left with the Ciri and the anti-detection amulet bestowed by the god of writing, and Chebury In Zhentalin Castle, Cyric publicly recited the true biography of Cyric in the most important center of belief in the mortal world. At the same time, another participant in the conspiracy, the demigod Dark Night Feathered Serpent Pill living in the Obscure Realm Del, the eater of nightmares for mortals and gods alike, took the opportunity to unleash the nightmares of all in the realm of the dead—mostly about being forever tormented by Cyric, which immediately sparked an uprising against Cyric. At this time, Cyric had difficulty distinguishing reality from the lies he wove, and the nightmare released by Dendel also included Cyric's own, making him think that Kelemvor had returned and was about to seek revenge from him. In madness and despair, Cyric broke the God-killing sword, which severely injured Musk, but also caused Kelemvor to be released early by accident, and Cyric's own nightmare came true..."

"Wait a minute." Although he was very absorbed in listening, Lancelot still noticed the abnormality, "The sword of killing gods, that is, Musk, only imprisoned Kelemvor's soul? Let the soul directly have a substance?"

"As expected of you, you have even noticed this kind of detail..." the scholar exclaimed, "That's right, all souls in the Obscure Realm will automatically obtain a new body, and it will be in the most complete state when it is still alive Appeared. Kelemvor picked up the half-cut Godslayer Sword and sought justice from the murderer who killed him, but Cyric, who had fallen into madness, could not condense any resistance at all. Kelemvor inserted the blade into the and the scribes who were hung from the ceiling by Cyric and burned with eternal fire broke free from their shackles one after another, drowning the Prince of Lies..."

"Is he dead?" Little Isa asked hopefully.

"No, Cyric is like a plague, a germ, even the fires of the entire lower plane cannot destroy him." The scholar shook his head lightly, "But influenced by the Cyrik , and being killed in his own kingdom of God greatly weakened Cyric's power, making it impossible for him to immediately reshape his own entity in the multiverse. Since Cyric disappeared, Musk was hit hard, and the kingdom of the dead It cannot be left alone for a day. Kelemvor, at the suggestion of Jergal, climbed to the top of the Tower of Bones and promised those dead who were tortured by Cyric eternally that he would bring each of them A fair trial. The dead agreed, and the power of faith poured into Kelemvor's body, and the new Lord of the Dead was born. He opened the door to the kingdom of the dead, and let the gods come to pick up his believers... "

"And on top of the Tower of Bones kissing Midnight the first to rush in," added Sune's cleric, "while Oghma and Tom watched."
