Broad World

After several hours of flight, the airship completed its first voyage. When it returned to the sky above Blue Winter City, the residents below let out huge cheers. Hawke has received confirmation from the Lord's Mansion, and those who returned from the Mage Tower also found a huge pothole. In order to prevent the spread of panic, he quickly announced the good news to the whole city.

Henry looked at the carnival crowd below and sighed. For ordinary people, this world is too dangerous. The huge pressure of survival made them breathless, and they took the opportunity to do something with a little bit of joy. Although Bluewind is much better than other cities, the sense of crisis still exists in everyone's heart.

"Why sigh? Don't you like the cheers of these citizens?" Debra came over and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I was wondering what the residents of the floating city in the Netheril era should look like." Henry pointed down as he said. "Could it be that they are as insecure as they are, and they are terrified to death if something happens a little bit?"

"My master, these are just ordinary people, do you still expect them to be like professionally trained soldiers?" Debra sneered, and walked to the window to look at the blue sky. "The era of Netheril is too far away. It is said that all the floating cities have been destroyed, and that kind of shocking miracle will never appear again."

A playful smile appeared on Henry's face. As far as he knew, there was a well-preserved floating city deep in the Ennook Desert. Someone will restart it in a few years, and I can take the opportunity to seize it. As long as one has the Miser Energy Core, the miracle of the Floating Void City can be reproduced at that time.

"Don't worry, sooner or later I will reproduce the miracle of the floating city, and then we will build a real city of spellcasters."

Debra was attracted by Henry's confident smile, she lowered her head and said softly: "Of course, great master, I will always follow behind you, if you need anything, please ask."

Henry lifted her chin with one hand. "Of course, you have always been a perfect assistant. In a few days, you will take an airship to Kelben's Mage Tower. I have a lot of advanced scrolls to buy."

The airship quickly returned to the sky above the Mage Tower. As the hydrogen gas in the auxiliary airbag was exhausted, the height began to drop slowly, and a few ropes were thrown from above after a while. The two golems picked up the rope, tied it and began to turn the winch, and the airship was pulled back to the ground in a few minutes.

Henry rushed back to the laboratory as soon as he got back to the ground. He still had a lot of items from his adventures to deal with. The first thing to be processed is Sim's stone carving. This former legendary warrior is now being fastened to a pillar with shackles made of pure gold. In order to prevent him from breaking free suddenly after the petrification was lifted, the shackles and pillars were engraved with dense magic lines of imprisonment.

After doing all this, Henry aimed at the statue with a sixth-level magic "Unpetroleum", and Sim came back to life in an instant. This violent orc warrior tugged at the iron chains around him, but was quickly fixed in place by the attached magic pattern of imprisonment.

Henry unhurriedly took out a small bottle of liquid metal, which was the Alniman metal solution obtained after killing the dwarf mage. He squeezed Sim's nose and opened his mouth, pouring the entire bottle of liquid into it. After doing this, he immediately stepped back more than ten meters away, and then carefully observed the reaction of the experimental product.

Sim didn't pay much attention to it at first, after all, the internal organs of legendary warriors are very strong, and ordinary toxins won't work at all. But after a while, he realized that something was wrong. The liquid just now was not absorbed by the stomach and intestines, but penetrated directly into the bones and brain through the internal organs. As the bone marrow and brain were squeezed out bit by bit, the piercing pain made this legendary warrior struggle crazily and howl loudly.

This crazy behavior didn't last long, and the wailing sound gradually weakened after ten minutes. Sim's two eyes became dull, and a large amount of dark red and white liquid gushed out of his mouth and nose, which looked horrible and disgusting. Henry blessed himself with an "iron skin technique", walked over and began to check his status carefully.

After several magical detections, Henry finally confirmed that the soul of the legendary warrior in front of him has completely collapsed, and he probably doesn't even have self-awareness now. Now that the experimenter had lost the ability to resist, he immediately began a large-scale transformation of the body. First, the muscles were carefully cut open, and then all the ordinary bones inside were replaced with pure gold bones, even the skull was not spared.

After completing the internal transformation, Henry peeled off all the epidermis, and began to embed the outer armor made of mithril directly on the muscles. Finally, he put a magic eyeball capable of seeing through invisibility into Sim's other eye socket, so a half-human, half-machine monster was born on the test bench.

The Alniman metal solution quickly repaired the body, and it didn't take long for all kinds of wounds on it to disappear. Then Henry began to design weapons for this body. From elbows to fingers, knees to toes, all kinds of sharp knives and the like were hidden in the muscles. As long as the user needs it, it will pop out from inside at any time. If it is poked, it will cause injury if not fatal.

In the end, Henry didn't know whether it should be regarded as a golem, or the guy who transformed people used a scroll of limited wishes. The magic light quickly swept across the body, and the monster slowly stood up from the platform. He scanned the surroundings with the magic red eyeball, then lowered his head and let out a deep voice: "Master!"

The feeling of turning former enemies into his own slaves made Henry very happy. He closed his eyes and silently experienced this power that could manipulate fate and soul, and it took a long time before he regained his composure. "From today on you are called the Terminator, obey my orders until you are destroyed."

"Everything is according to your order, until the moment it is completely destroyed." The Terminator repeated with his head down, then stood up and silently followed behind him.

Henry looked at his work with satisfaction. The Terminator can be said to be a combination of golem making technology and Welleslid's biological transformation technology. He is now immune to mind control and charm spells, while retaining the powerful martial arts and special abilities of a legendary warrior. Although there is no room for improvement in the future, being a bodyguard is enough.

Henry sat on the chair and rested for a while, and made this guy draw his 20,000 experience points at once. After the dizziness and exhaustion disappeared, he stood up and took the terminator back to the lord's mansion. The guard looked at the tall metal man following behind the lord with fearful eyes, completely unable to understand what it was with his meager knowledge.

"Don't be afraid, this is just a bodyguard golem with a rather peculiar shape. He won't attack without my order." Henry explained to him with a smile.

"My lord, I'm just a little nervous. His red eye looks a little scary." The guard swallowed and saluted, then pushed the door open for the two of them.

As soon as Henry came to the hall, he found that there were many people sitting in the hall, even the bishops of the two temples came. He knew at a glance that these people must be coming for the huge airship in the daytime. "Everyone came to my house so late, don't you know there is something important?"

Henry's words made the already dreary hall even more eerie, and finally the bishop of Heim, the God of Guardians, stood up. He bowed slightly and asked, "My lord, I heard that you made the huge aircraft that flew over the city today?"

"Of course, I got some wonderful technology during this trip to the North. Since I encountered a shipwreck last time, I want to use it to replace ships to transport passengers, so that many people can avoid the dangerous sea." Henry carefully used his words to avoid being exposed by spells such as detecting lies.

"I don't know if you accept the leasing business. I want to rent it to Amn to transport a statue to the city of Bluewind. If it takes the sea route, it would be too bad if something happens." After speaking, the bishop looked at him expectantly.

Henry nodded with a smile on his face. "Of course, it is my honor to be able to serve the Guardian God. But you may have to wait for a while, this huge aircraft has not yet been tested for long-distance navigation. I plan to let it fly to Waterdeep City first, and if there are no problems, it will not be too late for you to rent it. And I originally planned to open it to the public. As long as you can afford a ticket, anyone can take the ride."

"That's really great. If you finish the test, please be the first to notify me. It's already so late, I have to go back to the temple to pray, so don't bother me." The bishop gave a slight salute, turned around and left the hall.

The others were relieved to hear that as long as they had money, they could use it. After they stepped forward and said some compliments, they all bid farewell. The hall was full of people for a while, but only a few of us were left in the blink of an eye.

Hawk came over excitedly and asked, "Count, how much cargo and people can that airship hold?"

Henry made a rough estimate before answering: "The maximum load capacity is about 300 tons, and the maximum number of passengers cannot exceed 1,400. After the long-distance test flight in Waterdeep City is completed, I will build two larger ones, and then they will all be at your disposal."

Hawk clenched his fist and swung it fiercely. "This is amazing! When will the test flight start? I will take a batch of cargo and set off with me. I have been on a ship in the sea for half my life, but this is the first time I have been on a ship in the sky."

"The gray dwarves are checking the hull. If there are no problems, we can leave in about two days. If any of you want to experience the feeling of flying in the air, you can go for a test ride. This voyage is relatively safe." Henry said, looking at his wife, mother and old housekeeper who were eager to try. (To be continued.)
