Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 609 The plan begins

Noshir accompanied Zariel to complete the above tasks. They went to the Road to the Underworld together and rescued those brave souls. As for Haruman, he chose to continue to follow Zariel as always.

With the help of Zariel, he shed his demon body and turned back into a mortal. From now on, he and Zariel will embark on the road of atonement. This road will be destined to be long and full of hardships, but based on the loyalty he showed, Noshir knew that he would never regret it.

As the first step on the road to atonement, Zariel and his party's primary task is to take those heroic souls away from hell and bring them to the City of the Dead in the Land of the Dead so that they can meet Kelemvor. The God of the Dead will guide their souls and allow them to be reborn in the afterlife.

So everyone officially parted ways. Amid Lulu's slightly sad farewell, Noshil watched them leave this sinful place surrounded by many heroic spirits. However, Noshil himself was not in a hurry to leave because he still had some things to do.

A long time ago, Noshir learned from Haruman's consciousness the place where the demon lord Strikochi was imprisoned. He also knew that there was an artifact called "Vision of Torm" hidden in the demon lord's stomach. Noshir had to get it first because he promised to return this artifact to the priests of the God of Loyalty.

In the face of Wang Shengfu's ability to break through space at will and reach a specific location instantly as long as he knew the specific location, Noshier showed astonishing efficiency.

From identifying the target to obtaining the item, the time spent was not even more than a minute. He arrived at the place where Schekochi was imprisoned almost in an instant, and sensed its specific location in the next instant, and then in the next moment, he appeared directly in front of it.

Before Scechoch could react, the battle axe in Noshir's hand flashed, and he almost completely cut the demon lord, who looked like a giant ogre but was bound and restrained by countless chains! He then used his divine power to directly absorb the brilliant golden helmet hidden in its stomach, waved his hand, and used his divine power to remove the stains on it.

After making sure that the artifact was not damaged in any way, he swung the battle axe again, directly breaking the space link between the outer plane and the main material plane, and stepped into the Holy City of El-Retor. Until Noshir left completely, Scheko finally seemed to react and let out a loud roar of pain!

But at this time, Noshir had already arrived at the newly built Temple of Torm in Eltoril, and placed the artifact in front of the statue of Torm in public.

He did not deliberately look for the old priest, because Noshir did not need worldly admiration, but this action could help him establish a good image with the gods of justice and would also help his plan. Then he swung his battle axe again, crossed the long distance in an instant, and returned to his home far away in Baldur's Gate.

“It’s incredibly useful.”

Noshier touched the axe blade with emotion. This ability to cross the entire world in an instant was too exaggerated. Even if an ordinary high-level professional had this ability, then that person would be invincible, even if not invincible. Putting this ability in Noshier's hands would multiply the threat and effect of this move! But what's more important is——

"With this ability, it seems that I will be able to achieve the goals I expect soon."

The target that Noshier was talking about was naturally those threats that were lurking inside or near Baldur's Gate, either overtly or covertly. In order to make these disgusting bugs disappear, make this world a little more desirable, and to kill Asmodeus, he must take advantage of this time to try his best to obtain a large number of myth motivation points, and now he is about to complete the first step of this goal.

“Let’s get started.”

The battle axe cut through space again, and Noshir began to frequently flash quickly inside Baldur's Gate, in certain areas of the Underdark, and in various places around the nearby wilderness.

Thanks to his previous gaming experience, Noshier knew that not only were there many monsters hidden in this area that could pose a major threat, but if he knew the approximate hiding places of these monsters, coupled with his eyes that were capable of seeing through all disguises in the world, and the powerful instant transfer ability of the King's Axe, Noshier began to quickly sweep away various threats in the surrounding area at an extremely fast speed.

His first target was an evil cult in Baldur's Gate, where Shadowheart was, the monastery of the Goddess of Darkness.

With infinite divine power, Noshir completely destroyed the Shadow's Embrace Monastery in an instant and completely destroyed this secret building hidden under Baldur's Gate. At the same time, in the process, Noshir also deliberately protected the lives of a few individual Shar believers and some innocent victims who were also imprisoned here.

After ascending to godhood, Noshir's already outrageous eyes gained even more powerful powers, allowing him to see the colors of a person's soul by sight alone. These colors can show what that person has done in his life, allowing Noshir to directly judge whether the value of his soul still needs to be saved.

Among the hundreds of believers in the entire monastery, Noshil only protected six of them. Among them, Noshil was only familiar with Yingxin and Nocturne. He did not know the remaining four, but in their souls that were half-infected by the dark faith, there was a flickering light.

This means that their minds have not been completely polluted by Shar's dark creed. Deep in their hearts, their nature is still quietly fighting against it, even if they themselves may not realize it. So Noshir used his power to temporarily protect them. He used his own divine power to dissolve Shar's power, breaking the shackles imposed on them by the god of oblivion, allowing those memories that were obscured by divine power to resurface.

Before retrieving these memories, whether it was Shadowheart, Nocturne, or the other four, they kept cursing Noshir, cursing him, saying that he destroyed the monastery of Lady Shar and massacred his believers, and that he was doomed to have no good end for such evil deeds, and that Lady Shar would definitely avenge them!
But when all these memories returned, they immediately collapsed to the ground! They covered their heads with their hands in disbelief, not daring to believe the memories that were flooding in like a tide! But soon, after those memories were completely restored, they screamed with all their might!
Now, they discovered the truth. They discovered that the so-called goddess they believed in never brought them salvation! Everything was a lie! Everything was a deception! Except for Yingxin, the remaining five believers appeared here in order to seek the "healing" that Shar promised them.

Shar is one of the original gods representing darkness and oblivion. His followers all say that he has the ability to make people forget their pain and start a new life, so they believed Shar's lies and came here, but what was the result? Shar does have the ability to erase those painful memories that are too painful to look back on, but the fact is that Shar has almost erased all their memories!

The reason why they received those painful educations and the reason why they blindly and fanatically declared their absolute loyalty to Shar was because their memories had been changed and erased. So they could only be like blank puppets, being arbitrarily written on and portrayed by these damned cultists into whatever they wanted!
"Father...Mother, where are you——"

Yingxin - this poor girl is undoubtedly the most miserable one among all the people present at this moment. She has been deceived by Shar's followers since she was a child. Her memory has been deleted, her path has been blocked, and her loved ones are right in front of her but she can only turn a blind eye to them. However, such a tragedy happened only because of the whim of the God of Night.

As one of the two original gods born at the beginning of creation, Shar, who represents chaos and nothingness, actually does not need the faith of believers to increase her own power. In fact, the only thing she wants is to let the world return to the tranquility of the beginning of the world and let nothingness replace the hustle and bustle of the world. She does not take pleasure in the suffering of the world, but if such cruel and crazy behavior can help her achieve her goal of destroying everything, then the goddess of night will definitely be willing to spend more time on it. She will spread disasters and lies wantonly on this land, and the tragedy of Shadow Heart also originated from this.

Because her family has always maintained a devout belief in the Moon Goddess, Shar suddenly had a sudden idea one day. She wanted to see the supposedly devout believers of Selûne hopelessly degenerate into dark guards, and use this unsuspecting "fallen one" to launch a more painful blow to Selûne!

This is a very bad behavior, but Shar is willing to do it. After all, as long as she can strike at her twin sister Selûne, no matter how inhumane the act is, Shar will do it without hesitation. So she controlled Shadowheart when he was still young, brainwashed and cursed him, and then silently waited for this conspiracy to bear fruit, and looked forward to what Shadowheart could achieve in the end. But now, Shar's conspiracy is doomed to fail!
Noshir activated the shield condensed by divine power and moved all the innocent people imprisoned by these Shar believers from the collapsed ruins, and among these people were naturally Yingxin's parents.

They were once bound to two discs by Shar's dark power. This kind of bondage was almost impossible for mortals to break, but how could a bondage caused by such a weak divine power be difficult for Noshir? He easily shattered the two discs, rescued the two devastated old men, and finally reunited Yingxin's family.

But at this happy moment, a deep purple energy suddenly burst out from Yingxin's wrist. This was a curse from Shar. Whenever Yingxin took an action that was not in line with His will, this pain would flash by like a wasp's sting, bringing sometimes long-lasting, sometimes short-lived pain to the soul.

Yingxin covered his wrist, trying to stop the endless pain. Seeing the Shadow Monastery destroyed, the believers suffered heavy casualties, and the plan being disrupted, Yingxin seriously violated His wishes. All these things combined have really made Shar angry.

But before Shar's rage intensified, Noshir suddenly burst out with divine power again, directly blocking Shar's perception of this area! You know, generally speaking, this is impossible to do. After all, this is one of Shar's monasteries, a private territory that is most deeply imbued with his power, making it almost impossible for external forces to block his perception of this place.

But as early as the beginning, Noshir had destroyed every statue of Shar in the monastery in advance, making it impossible for Shar to descend through these carriers. Then he killed all the Shar believers here. The remaining few had completely abandoned their faith in Shar, which made it even less likely for Shar to turn his attention here again.

Noshir successfully blocked Shar's gaze, and the rising divine shield temporarily isolated him from controlling the curse, giving him enough time to help Yingxin completely remove the damn curse.

Yes, Noshir does have the ability to break Shar's curse. Perhaps for mortals, this curse from God is almost impossible to be cured, but for another god, this little trick is naturally nothing.

Noshier simply raised his hand and summoned Yingxin to his front. He reached out and held her wrist. After locking the location of the curse, he used his omnipotent divine power to completely break it. The whole process was so simple that it was as easy as breathing.

‘That’s it. ’

Under the admiring gazes of Yingxin and everyone else, Noshir slowly nodded to them, then waved his hand again, and brought everyone present to the suburbs far away from Baldur's Gate, close to the purified town of Raisven.

The town of Resven used to be a gathering place for Selune believers, and today, as the town has evolved, beliefs about Selune are redeveloping here. Noshir brought them here to let them start a new life here.

In this place, Shar's forces cannot easily penetrate, and life here will be safe. Here, they can also freely choose their future lives.

As for where their future life would lead them, Noshier was unwilling to interfere in this matter. Anyway, his goal had been achieved and the motivation points had been successfully obtained, so after sending them here, he did not stay for long. He just left his blessings and wished them all the best in the future, and then embarked on the journey of slaughtering other evil creatures again.
