An Ordinary Fantasy Adventure in the Continent of Faerun

Chapter 145 Bound by the Oath

Tavis had already escaped from the state of near death, so Scar had no worries. He grabbed Tavis's blood-soaked collar, lifted him up and roared at him angrily.

However, Tavis's face still had no expression, and he continued to respond to Scar's questioning in an emotionless tone.

"At the beginning, I swore by the right of the supreme supervisor of Eltoril and its territories to confiscate the entire land under the sun's haze to Zariel, and all those who were bound by the oath to defend Eltoril were also confiscated."

Bound by the oath?

Scar suddenly let go of his hand weakly. He realized what Tavis meant by this sentence, but Tavis continued to insist at this time.

"All of you have sworn the oath of the Creed of Fortitude. You swore to protect her with your life. This is a solemn declaration with clear contractual effect, so you all must and must live and die with Eltoril."

"Although some people have escaped now, it does not mean that they can avoid this misfortune forever. Now, all the Eltoril people living in the main material plane will go to hell to suffer and be punished after death. From the moment you swore, this result has been doomed and there is no way to change it..."

Skar suddenly flew up and kicked him firmly in the crotch. The severe pain interrupted what he was about to say next. At this time, Scar's face became extremely indifferent. The previous rage seemed to no longer exist, but Noshier knew that he was really angry to the bone now. At this time, Scar stared at Tavis with a cold and oppressive look, and then spoke.

"Tavis Craig, Supreme Sunwatcher, because of past experiences, I once admired you immensely, so even in this situation, I still try to maintain the minimum respect for you."

Looking at Tavis kneeling on the ground again and rolling like a maggot, Scar walked around him and counted his crimes.

"But you betrayed us, hurt us, and insulted us. Your actions made me realize that such worms are not worthy of any mercy. Your black heart makes me shudder, and the stench from your mouth makes me sick."

"I am ashamed of your shamelessness. Your existence casts a huge shadow on this glorious country, but now it is time to correct this mistake."

"I am an honorable Elturgard and an honorable member of the Knights of Hell. I swear here that I will do my best to thwart the vicious conspiracy of you and your master of hell. I swear that except for you, no soul of Elturgard will fall into the Nine Hells."

"This... this possibility is very small."

At this time, Tavis was still following Noshir's orders and answering Scar's words as much as possible. Scar's response was to directly raise his leg and step on his head, making his face fit closely with the ground.

"...Yes, that's true. Otherwise, why do you think you can live until now? This is the fundamental reason why you can live until now!"

"Perform well, Tavis, at least live up to your previous nickname, so that you can suffer less in the days to come, otherwise."

Skar's footsteps increased a little more.

"Believe me, what you encountered today is far from the worst, so tell me now, do you understand?"

"I... understand!"

"Very good."

Skar suddenly retracted the boot that was stepping on Tavis' face, and then continued to pack up the resources to be taken away without saying a word. During this process, Noshier did not say a word, just silently watching Scar vent his inner emotions, and did not care whether Tavis was dead or alive.

Until Scar stopped his actions, Noshier walked up to Scar and said.

"I hope this will make you feel better, so I didn't stop you, but now tell me, how do you feel?"

"... Terrible."

"Really."

Noshir chuckled after hearing this, and then patted his shoulder gently.

"Although the truth is terrible, at least we know the truth, and as long as we know the truth, we have a direction to solve the problem."

"Direction..."

Ska's tone became even lower. He couldn't see any direction at all now. He just made a bold statement, but at this moment he couldn't think of how to rescue Eltoril from hell, because Tavis was right, this kind of thing is really negligible.

However, Noshir said very confidently at this time.

"Yes, direction, and the direction is actually very obvious, that is the contract."

As long as the original contract signed by Tavis and Zariel is destroyed, the residents of Eltoril will naturally not be bound by the oath, and their souls will automatically go to hell after death.

"Is it enough to just destroy this contract? As long as we find it and then destroy it, can Eltoril return from hell?"

"Well... Actually, no, but this is at least a direction. We can work towards this direction first and then adapt to the situation when the time comes."

Noshir made Scar's mouth twitch unconsciously. He didn't know what his mood was now, but Noshir's optimism still infected him to some extent.

"Well... You are right. Being sad here will not help the reality. In this case, it is better to adapt to the situation."

Ska closed the iron box in his hand. He had packed the most valuable boxes of treasures, including a box of gold anchors and two boxes full of gold coins, a small box of magic potions and a small box of gems.

"These are almost the most valuable things, but to be honest, Noshier, the value of these golds is amazing, but their weight is also amazing. Even if I try my best, I can only lift one box, and if I carry this thing, I will definitely not be able to walk far."

"If we want to transport them, we don't have convenient things like dimensional bags. In fact, even if we have dimensional bags, we can't take them away. I heard that the bag can't hold more than 500 pounds, but now it's just a box of gold, and its weight is far more than 500 pounds."

Well, this is indeed a problem. With such a large weight, they can't transport it quickly, and there is no place to put it. Although Noshier is confident that with his strength, he can still walk briskly even if he carries a box of gold, but if there is no place to store it, he can't keep carrying such a box of gold. That would be too conspicuous.

So after a brief thought, Noshier made such a decision.

"Do you remember the tunnel we came down from before? The one by the illusion magic wall, we can first transport these boxes of gold to that tunnel, and the remaining silver is not of high value, so just leave it here."

"Although that place is very secretive to outsiders, it is not safe for these cultists, right? If those cultists go there, wouldn't it be easy to be discovered?"

"Yes, but it doesn't matter, as long as we kill them all here and clear the entire dungeon, then naturally no one will know where we hide the things."

Noshier pointed at the shield behind Scar's back.

"We have now achieved most of our goals. We have obtained enough evidence and treasures. So what we have to do next is very simple, that is to make things bigger."

"With this shield, we can easily set fire to this place, so that we can definitely lure these demons out, and let the patrolling monitors find out what's going on here."

"Although our location is considered remote in this neighborhood, the headquarters of the monitor corps is not far from here. In addition, I still have the burning token in my hand, so I should be able to easily turn them into friendly forces."

Thanks to Fang Ziyue, who leaned against the wall to get out in the middle of the night, Moho-chan, I'm going to save it to buy candy, trace the source, and support from the book friends Shanyuhaiyuyun!
