After the workers recognized Henry, they yelled and bowed, expressing their respect and love for the king. After all, they got tangible benefits in a very short period of time, a lot of taxes were exempted, and more More money-making opportunities, increasingly prosperous business, sufficient food supply, and stable prices all come from the new policies after the reform.

Of course, most ordinary people who don't even know the words don't even know what the new policy means. Maybe they don't even understand the word reform, but there is one thing they know best, that is, how much money they have. Now, the standard of living is improving day by day, and the burden on them is less, so everyone sincerely hopes that the new Kingdom of West Hartland can continue in this way.

A very simple idea, except for a very small number of areas in Faerun Continent with weak national consciousness, the remaining civilians are basically whoever can protect their own safety, whoever can make them earn more money, they will be loyal to whoever, There is absolutely no principle at all.

Obviously, the series of policy adjustments made by Henry to develop the population just catered to the interests of these people, so it is reasonable to be widely supported.

But as the saying goes, when you give a part of the benefits to one class, you must take part from another class. Although you have made up for it with your own money, the nobles and local councils still lost The large taxes and especially the fact that they could no longer have a hand in the garrison made them very unhappy.

If it weren't for the deterrence of the giant dragon, I am afraid that some people could not help but jump out and start a rebellion under the banner of maintaining tradition. Especially in the new cities that have just come here, riots have occurred without exception. Corey has personally led 2,000 elite veterans to sit down to prevent large-scale rebellion.

For these stubborn forces, Henry took the initiative to cooperate with the part of the new policy to crack down on and suppress the traditional diehards. If someone wants to learn from the nobles of Tethyr and contact foreign forces to fight against the royal family, then he doesn't mind letting Robert's thieves The guild came to frame him. And then justifiably uprooted.

Anyway, there is no second force in the land of West Hartland that dares to wrestle with the rising kingdom. Even the Harpists and the Zhentarim have stopped fighting secretly, for fear of being caught.

Facing the chaotic scene and the agitated civilians, Henry put on a friendly attitude, kept smiling, nodding and waving, and even said a few words to the surrounding people pretending to be friendly when passing by , or ask a few questions about their living conditions, and immediately let them feel what is called "care from the royal family".

But they probably don't know at all that these are just political shows, which are left over by the leaders of various countries on earth. On the surface, they seem very amiable, but they are actually jackals that eat people without spit out bones. When they make these gestures, they don't really care what your answer is, what they want is the attention and publicity of the media.

The continent of Faerun is still in a relatively barbaric era. Most of the rulers are used to being superior, trying to put on airs to make themselves appear more noble, only a few know how to use the power of the people, and Alustriel of Silvermoon City is one of the best in this regard, so the local People will kindly call her Ms. Hope.

In order to ensure a positive image of himself in the minds of his subjects, Henry deliberately kept his feet full, and it was already more than 20 minutes later when he arrived in front of Borken.

He smiled and waved to everyone, watching the workers start to work one after another. Then he turned around and said with a smile: "My friend, it seems that the construction speed of the Floating Void City is good. If it continues like this, it will probably be completed a few months ahead of schedule."

"Yes, due to the sufficient labor force, the progress of the project has been accelerated a lot, especially when moving the boulder, the multi-armed giant helped a lot, otherwise the foundation will be completed at most now." Borken also showed a faint smile on his face. smile. "What about you. Why did you come to the construction site to check the progress today? And what is the metal sphere over there?"

"You mean the dimensional sphere?" Henry glanced back at the huge sphere parked in the open space. "That's an interplanetary teleportation device that uses a very interesting power system. If you're interested, you can study it."

Borken's eyes lit up: "Tell me, what kind of power system is it? Can it be used on the floating city!"

Henry smiled and shook his head and explained: "I'm afraid not. The power of the dimensional sphere relies on necromantic magic. The transformation is completed by extracting energy from the heart of the demon. If you want to make a city fly in the sky, unless it is a real demon lord .Otherwise, it will not be able to drive the huge floating city at all."

"Okay, then what are you going to use to make this floating city fly?"

Hearing that the power system of the dimensional sphere was useless, Borken immediately changed the topic to the business. As an Arcanist, he knows very well that the most important thing for the floating city is a strong enough core power. Without it, no matter how perfect the construction is, it will only look good on the surface, and it will not be able to fly at all.

"It's very simple, I have this." Henry said as he took out the Arcane Core from his pocket.

As soon as this sphere, which was slightly larger than a palm, was exposed to the air, it was instantly connected with the original magic energy and the magic net. All the mages felt that their spellcasting ability had been greatly enhanced, and they turned their heads to stare at it in surprise. Looking at the dazzling treasure that kept flashing, the eyes showed a hot light.

"This... is this... Mythra's Core?!!!!" Borken asked in a trembling voice. Since he was not a great arcanist, he had never seen the real Mythra Core with his own eyes, so he was a little uncertain in his tone.

The corners of Henry's mouth were slightly upturned, and he raised the ball overflowing with magical energy, pretending to be proud and announced loudly: "No, this is the core of the secret method I created. Although the principle is fundamentally different, it can be used equally It plays the role of continuously providing energy for the floating city. As I said, the time for the great revival of magic civilization will finally come..."

There is no doubt that his purpose in displaying such a powerful magic item in public is quite clear. That is to lure the spy nicknamed "The Oriole" to do it. Otherwise, it would be dangerous to let the other party continue to lurk. It is better to take the initiative to force all the enemies out and wipe them out.

The light emitted by the core of the secret method is so dazzling that even ordinary people can feel its unusualness. A guy dressed as a worker in the corner changed his face after seeing it, and hurriedly lowered his head to hide his emotions, as if Afraid of being noticed by others.

"Little mice hiding in the dark, act quickly. The contest is about to begin..." Henry narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice to himself.

He is very clear that once the Ghost City knows that he has the treasure that makes the Floating Void City fly, he will definitely destroy it at any cost. Time can uproot the spies hiding in the city.

Borken was standing opposite Henry, he heard it clearly, and immediately understood the intention of doing this, took the core of the secret law with both hands very carefully, and then assured in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will never let anyone People take it away."

"Be careful, the enemy we are going to deal with this time is unusual." Henry said as he took out Lavok's notes. "Here are some guidelines on the construction of the floating city. You can use it for reference. In addition, the dimensional sphere over there will be left to you for safekeeping. I need to set up a large net. In order to drive away these annoying flies and mice."

After saying these murderous words, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and disappeared instantly.

Gently stroking the delicate patterns on the surface of the Arcane Core, Borken took a deep breath and muttered to himself: "The great magic civilization is about to reappear, and I will not allow anyone to interrupt this process, even if the consequences are related to The gods are enemies..."

At the same time, somewhere in the basement of Baldur's Gate, Robert was frowning and listening to his subordinates' reports.

"Boss. This is the list we compiled recently based on the activities of the enemy's spies. Anyone who has had direct or indirect contact with them is here." A sharp-eyed thief took a copy of more than seven pages parchment.

The dark elf girl Vilva who was sitting in the corner couldn't help laughing after just a glance: "Hahahaha! You call this tidying up? There are at least two hundred names on it. Half a year."

"Damn it! You don't even know how careful those guys are. They don't even see each other when they send messages to each other, and they are not allowed to arrest and torture. What can we do!."

The elite thief felt that it was a great shame to be ridiculed by a little girl, so he immediately refuted through gritted teeth. He completely forgot that the petite girl in front of him was only counted by age. I'm afraid it's already two to three times his size.

"Oh? These guys are really as cautious as you said, or...you are too useless?" Huelva showed a eager expression on his face, and licked his lips lightly with his tongue, exuding a chilling aura all over his body .

Everyone in the Thieves Guild knows that only when you are extremely excited and want to kill. This girl will make such a gesture, especially the unique racial talent and magical power of the dark elves make her extremely dangerous. Many professionals above the tenth level died under the deadly dagger because of their carelessness.

"Okay, don't make trouble, this time the enemy is the City of Shadows, and ordinary methods won't work against them." Robert waved his hand to stop the further development of the situation. "This list can still help us eliminate some targets. The next thing we need to do is to narrow the scope and strengthen surveillance at the same time. We must not let the other party notice."

"Understood, I'll arrange the manpower right away." Hearing the leader's words, the thief immediately went down the donkey, saluted slightly, and quickly left the basement without saying a word. When he returned to the street, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

As one of the few ace assassins in the entire guild who had never failed, Huelva put too much pressure on people. Even though she knew she would not do anything, her biological instinct still sounded the alarm.

After cursing a few words secretly, the elite thief put on his mask again, and disappeared at the end of the alley in the blink of an eye...

in the basement,

After reading all the information on the list, Robert couldn't help rubbing his brows, and asked without raising his head, "How is your investigation going? Is it possible that Miss Serena, who claims to be the daughter of the count, is the target we are looking for? "

"It's hard to say, but her whereabouts have been very suspicious, and I can feel that this woman definitely has a high level of spellcasting. Shall I find a chance to test it?" Huelva pulled out the dagger at his waist, A bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face.

"Wait a minute, there are quite a lot of suspicious people who have poured into Baldur's Gate recently, we must be patient..."

Before Robert finished speaking, a portal suddenly appeared out of thin air in the direction of the stairs. (It’s a great event for the pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
