Chapter 402: Changes in the depths of the soul

Generally speaking, Faerun should be regarded as a world where men and women are equal. Women can not only become warriors, mages, priests, druids, bards and other powerful combat professionals, but also do not lose to men in politics and governance. Many countries have had queens with excellent governing ability . Not to mention the gods. Although they can change their gender at will, more than half of them appear in female images.

Henry was a little surprised why a country that oppresses women like Calimshan hasn't caused the Church of the Good God to intervene. After all, Irmat, the God of Suffering, has a considerable number of paladins and monks there. Although it is not realistic to overthrow the entire system, it is not difficult to make some slight changes. Perhaps because of the teachings, this god always teaches believers to endure, suffer, martyrdom, and perseverance, but rarely mentions words such as resistance and fighting for rights.

He felt that unless he took a look in person, it would never be possible to understand why this desert country could maintain such a strange situation. On the surface, they believed in the gods and obeyed the rule of the king, but secretly they were constantly fighting. In addition, the magic talisman would control about half of the ruling class, and the degree of confusion in power was simply beyond imagination. Although there is a powerful demilich, the undead emperor Sean VII, who is secretly preparing to take back his own country, but his enemies are not weak. Neither the Talisman Society nor the current ruler will allow this to happen. It can be said that Calimshan as a whole is a powder keg in a delicate balance. Once this balance is broken, the flames of war will be ignited immediately.

However, these complicated situations have nothing to do with Henry for the time being. After chatting for a few minutes, he was moved by the sense of responsibility shown by this girl named Anise, and appointed her to be in charge of the daily work of the mansion without hesitation. At the same time, a certain degree of freedom was given to all the maids. They can walk around in several areas in the city where the law and order are relatively good. Although the scope of activities is still very limited, it is already a paradise compared to the days when Calimsan could not even leave the room. The joy of the body relaxes his tense spirit, and he devotes himself to the serious subject of human reproduction. The breathing and moaning in the bathroom lasted for more than an hour before gradually stopping. The four girls serving the bath were lying limp in the bathtub. Their eyes are a little blurred, and there are still many red marks on their necks and chests, all of which are left over from the love affair.

Henry stood up and kissed everyone on the forehead, then got dressed, found a random room and fell asleep. He was so tired that he was snoring only a few seconds later.

In the dream, the room full of mirrors reappeared. The difference from before is that there are suddenly fewer mirrors in the room this time. And the piece that belongs to the reverse side looks much bigger than last time. This weird phenomenon made Henry suddenly have a bad premonition. Although he didn't know exactly what happened, one thing is certain, that is, the reverse side is also slowly absorbing these emotions and memories.

He didn't dare to neglect, and immediately came to the mirror on the opposite side and asked loudly: "What's going on? Since when did you have this ability?"

"Hahahaha! Are you scared? Tell you. The soul does not only belong to you, but also to me. What do you think the power of the self is? It turns everything that everyone thinks is impossible into reality! When the second piece When the fragments are absorbed, we also have the ability to interfere with the real world. You incorporate these into magic, and I incorporate them into consciousness."

Speaking of this, a ferocious expression appeared on the opposite side's face. Suddenly he stretched out a hand from the mirror, grabbed Henry's neck in an instant and shouted loudly: "See?! This is power, and now this broken seal can't trap me anymore. As long as there is enough time, here All memories, emotions, including the mastery of the soul will be mine sooner or later! When we merge, it will be me, not you, who will be the primary consciousness."

Henry was surprisingly calm, neither breaking free immediately nor refuting. He just stared into the eyes of the person in the mirror. Ten minutes later, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said in a mocking tone: "So there is going to be a competition between us. Whoever absorbs more will be stronger , when the final moment comes, you and I will fight, the winner inherits everything, and the loser will become the nourishment to strengthen the entire soul world."

"Haha! I have to say that your senses are still as keen as ever. Yes, I am no longer a lamb for you to harvest, and you have not reached the end of the mountain. From now on, we are standing on the same starting line. I have absorbed a series of emotions such as anger and jealousy, if you are not fast enough, you will be thrown far behind in a short time." After speaking, he let go of his hand and returned to the mirror .

His eyes looked nothing like before, only crazy and twisted. Now there is also a hint of anger and envy mixed in, and it feels more and more like a person. This is not a good thing. Originally, a consciousness hidden deep in the soul is troublesome enough. If you have countless emotions and memories, I am afraid that it will not be too long before you will try to fight for the control of your body.

After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Henry stopped talking nonsense and walked straight to the other mirror where emotions were sealed. He has to race against time now, if he can't seize the opportunity, he will become more and more passive in the future. This is an endless battle for the soul, and neither side has any room to back down. In order to defend their independent consciousness and personality, they have to fight to the death.

The mirror chosen this time was very large, and the person in the mirror clenched his fists tightly, and the cold light in his eyes made people feel cold all over his body. Henry could tell at a glance that it was hatred, the real devil hidden in his heart. It not only allows people to explode with endless power, but also completely destroys a person's offline, making them unscrupulous, and eventually goes further and further on the road of self-destruction.

But now obviously there is no room for choice. If the negative side gets this feeling, it will become stronger. Combined with some negative feelings such as anger, jealousy, greed, etc., it will give birth to a demon that is more chaotic and evil than the devil. , a monster more cunning and clever than the devil.

Henry couldn't imagine what such a negative would do after gaining the dominance. Perhaps it is very likely that a war will sweep across the entire multiverse, and perhaps the gods will be completely destroyed. Thinking of this, he couldn't help being smart, and put his hands on both sides of the mirror without hesitation.

Just like when absorbing feelings before, after a simple conversation, the mirror erupted with a dazzling light, and then completely shattered into tens of thousands of glass slags. Countless images of being humiliated on earth began to flash in my mind, hatred gradually grew in my heart, and the idea of ​​revenge came up after a while.

Henry was not a very magnanimous person in the first place, and once such emotions arose, it was difficult to control. He only felt an uncontrollable anger in his heart that wanted to be released, but he searched and searched but could not find a suitable target. It is clear that Joan Irenicas is not yet ready for liquidation, and an enemy at the level of Shar, the Goddess of the Night, is too powerful to be an opponent at all.

After much deliberation, he finally settled on a target for revenge, which was the sahuagin. These damned guys not only destroyed all the cities and villages along the coast of Baldur's Gate, but also allowed themselves to flee to Belgoost with the army in embarrassment. Yes, that's right, these offal.

The moment the goal was established, Henry woke up suddenly. I saw the anger of hatred flickering in his eyes, without even wearing clothes, he directly blessed himself with the "flying technique", and then opened a portal to appear in the air in the port area of ​​Waterdeep City. The sky has just darkened now, and Jacques Houas is commanding the army under his command to attack the human line of defense.

Since the experiences of both sides are concentrated on the battlefield, no one has noticed a naked silver-haired man standing in the sky for the time being. Except, of course, Kelben and Lila. These two legendary mages and electors of the Goddess of Magic are constantly monitoring all the magical energy around Waterdeep City, and a fifth-level magic "Teleportation" cannot escape their eyes.

Lila covered her mouth and asked her husband in surprise, "Oh my God! Is that Henry? He's not wearing anything. What is he trying to do?"

Before Kelben could speak, Henry, who was standing in mid-air, suddenly began to chant spells loudly, and a spherical magic black hole was released little by little, gradually forming a tunnel leading to Mount Paradise. Huge positive energy surged out, gathered and compressed in the center of the vortex.

In just a dozen seconds or so, a light group like a small sun appeared above the port area, and it was getting smaller and smaller. All spellcasters felt the great power contained in it, Jacques Houas shouted loudly without hesitation, making all the murlocs retreat to the sea, and the human officers also shouted to make the soldiers retreat.

Facts have proved that this decision is correct, but they all underestimated the terrifying power of legendary magic. The moment the entire spell was completed, a trace of revenge flashed across Henry's face, and then he withdrew the black hole, throwing the compressed light spot into the sea.
