Broad World

"Master, this is the revised drawing according to your instructions. The height of the main tower above the ground will be increased by five floors, and the underground will directly penetrate the deepest part of the foundation. Once the entire transmission device is laid, the energy will continue to extend to every corner of the city. A corner."

As soon as he came to the bottom of the tower, Henry saw a pure and sweet female mage in her early twenties reporting the progress of the project to Borken. She looked both a little excited and a little nervous. Although the light blue robe concealed her figure, her twin (peaks) were still tall and straight, showing a distinctive charm.

It is a kind of temptation mixed with youthfulness and innocence, which can make men uncontrollably have an urge to possess and ravage, especially her small movements of brushing her hair and standing on tiptoe add a sense of Childlike playfulness makes the whole person look like an elf created by nature, rather than a human being dominated by (desire).

"Absolutely abnormal..." Henry narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.

With today's terrifying strength, no creature can escape his perception and prying, even gods are hardly an exception. But the body of the woman in front of him is actually surrounded by a thin layer of natural energy, isolating everything from the outside world.

Borken obviously noticed Henry's arrival, and immediately returned the drawings and said: "Cynthia, you have done a good job. Few girls can design and transform a mage tower by themselves at this age. Just build the exterior first according to the drawings Finished, as for the inside, I have other arrangements."

"Thank you for your compliment, I will continue to work hard to prove my worth to everyone." The young girl named Cynthia showed a sunny smile, followed by a slight bow, trotting all the way and disappearing in the tower Inside. Her movements are so dexterous, even the posture of stepping is full of a different kind of beauty.

After watching Cynthia leave, the corners of Borken's mouth turned up slightly. With a playful smile, he said to Henry: "A woman who is very easy to arouse men's interest, isn't she? When she is close, I can even feel my heart beating faster, as if my whole soul is wanting uncontrollably near."

"It's unbelievable, what is she from?" Henry asked, frowning.

All knowledgeable scholars and mages in Faerûn know one thing, and that is that people who usually display charisma, either in disguise, such as dragons, demons, devils, or some powerful creatures, or hide some special blood. . Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to have such a huge impact on the people around.

Obviously, the charm of this woman named Cynthia has far exceeded the limit of human beings, so she immediately became the target of suspicion.

"She claimed that her father was a ranger and her mother was a water goblin, a very rare combination. I tested her blood, and a part of it indeed belonged to a water goblin."

Borken knew what Henry wanted to know, so he directly said what he knew. In his opinion, Cynthia's origin is indeed very suspicious, especially the timing of her appearance is too coincidental, just before and after the core of the secret method. People have to be vigilant.

"Half-blood water goblin?" Henry raised his eyebrows involuntarily. "Then is the rest of the bloodline human?"

As a legendary druid, he is no stranger to the water elf, a beautiful elf created by nature, according to some legends. It is indeed possible for them to be attracted by powerful individuals, and they can't help but have sex with them, and then give birth to hybrid offspring.

However, this kind of situation rarely happens, and most of the remaining mixed-race descendants live with their mothers away from the crowd, because for most intelligent creatures, they are so beautiful that even a little weak will Caught in an inextricable obsession.

Borken looked left and right. After making sure that there was no one around, he quickly took out a small bottle of blood from his sleeve, smiled wryly and shook his head: "I can't say, this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life. When the detection magic takes effect, everyone except the water goblin Except for the part that is exposed, the rest is completely unresponsive, like a cloud of muddy sewage, maybe you can try to use some more powerful spells."

"Undetectable blood? Interesting! It seems that the squirrels that have been lurking around us can finally hold it back." Henry took the blood bottle and shook it gently a few times. There was a sneer on his face.

Although there is no evidence yet, tell him directly that there is a 90% possibility that this Cynthia is a spy.

"No, it's not sure yet. There are too many mages who have come here recently. Many of them are more blatant than her, and some of them even hinted that they can do anything for me." Speaking of this blog Erken took a deep breath and said with emotion: "The attraction of Floating Void City to mages is far beyond your imagination. And there is more than one target that needs to be investigated, otherwise I would have done it first."

Henry stretched out a finger meaningfully and shook: "My friend, you may have misunderstood one thing. No matter what the true identity of this woman who claims to be Cynthia is, as long as I think she is a spy, it is enough. We are strictly guarding Neutral mages, not paladins who need proof and law so..."

Undoubtedly, he was going to take the person down first, and then torture him slowly for the rest. Anyway, after tasting a whole set of torture from body to soul, I am afraid that even Tom, the god of loyalty and courage, can't stand it.

"Is it a bit too rough? Maybe you can change it to a more gentle way, such as making her your (lover) lover. You know women are usually very emotional, once she falls in love with you , then maybe it can in turn cause the City of Shadows to suffer a big loss." Borken gave another suggestion as if he had experienced it.

"Haha! You think highly of me. If Cynthia is really the trump card of the City of Shadows—the oriole, then I don't think I can influence her. Neither Terramante nor Ruivalan are stupid people, they won't Send me a weak-willed spy, so forget it."

After speaking, Henry smiled and shook his head. Maybe what Borken said is right, no matter how powerful a woman is, she is also an emotional animal. Once the repressed emotions burst out, they will instantly swallow up reason like a flood.

But as a cautious person, he doesn't like to put victory on such unreliable things, not to mention that nothing is more unstable than the so-called love between a man and a woman. Maybe close lovers who could die for each other one second, can draw out a knife the next second, wishing they could stab each other to death.

Seeing that Henry had made up his mind, Borken could only sigh regretfully: "Okay, but don't be too hard on your hands. If you confirm that it's not Cynthia, then let her go. I really can't bear to see such a girl Enduring pain and torment in the dungeon."

"Don't worry, my torture is very measured. It will definitely not cause any form of disability. Arrange it and let her go to the city tomorrow. It is not convenient for my people to enter the area where the mage lives to arrest people."

Henry has never been a procrastination person, so once the target is confirmed, he intends to wipe the action to see if he can dig something out of the opponent's mouth. He doesn't care whether this woman is innocent or not, as long as she is suspicious is enough.

As the day when the construction of the floating city is approaching, the war with the city of ghosts is imminent. Neither Telamante nor Ruivalan can make the second floating city take off smoothly. Even if they don't return to the main plane in advance, they will send mage groups to destroy it.

"Understood. I will ask Cynthia to go to the mage tower in the city to get the core of the secret law tomorrow morning. You can send someone to monitor her every move to see if there is anything suspicious. But be careful. She has a natural ability to charm , as long as there is a slight loosening of the will, you will be confused in an instant." Borken finally gave a very serious warning.

"Understood, I will send the most elite assassins to ensure nothing goes wrong. In addition, for the floating city, I still have a few areas for improvement." Henry took out a sketch from his pocket. "Don't move the main body of the city, and add a few platforms around which you can freely control the flight. I will be useful when the time comes."

Although he didn't quite understand the purpose of the flying platform, Borken nodded without hesitation: "No problem, it's not difficult, as long as it stays within the energy coverage of the floating city. There are requirements for the area of ​​these platforms." ?"

Henry stroked his chin and thought about it for a few minutes, and quickly gave a specific value: "It's best not to be less than 160,000 square meters, and at least four, there is no need to cover magic protection, as long as the ground is flat and strong enough .Remember. These things must be completed after the energy transmission system of the Floating Void City is laid, otherwise it will be too late."

These platforms are used to deliver troops when he plans to fight with the City of Shadows. When the time comes, throwing a hundred thousand monsters in a berserk state into the opponent's city will cause unparalleled damage in an instant.

Of course, it can be transformed into an arcane garden when it is not useful. After all, each one is equivalent to the area of ​​twenty football fields, under the blessing of magic effects. The food produced is almost enough to feed tens of thousands of people.

"Okay, I'll send someone to start the construction. It will be completed in about one to two weeks. After all, this is rock and soil, so there is no difficulty at all." After speaking, Borken turned around and walked towards the construction site with the sketch go.

Although magic can turn adobe into the hardest granite, it also requires a lot of dirt, otherwise it will take less than two weeks, most of which will be spent digging the soil.

In order to provide enough soil for the huge floating city, a terrifying deep pit has been released fifteen kilometers outside the city of Baldur's Gate. Countless workers and golems work here all day long, transporting baskets of soil from below to the airship through the mechanical boom, and then dumped by the airship at the designated location.

Glancing at the huge crater that was getting bigger and bigger, Borken couldn't help showing a faint smile on his face. Because when the floating city is completed, it will be poured into the water of the Chongsa River, and finally an artificial lake will be formed to raise freshwater fish, chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry, and a large amount of farmland will be opened up around it, forming A farm and ranch with a beautiful lake must be very beautiful.

After getting along with each other for so many years, he also had to admit that Henry's vision in construction planning is indeed very good. All the pieces of land that were decided to be developed have produced economic benefits in a short period of time. No wonder the entire West Coast is interested in him. The method of turning a stone into gold is full of praise.

Without wasting too much time, Borken directly found the person in charge here, assigned a new task without saying a word, and then returned to the construction site. As the commander-in-chief of the construction of the Floating Void City, he doesn't intend to dawdle here, because the war with the City of Shadows will soon begin...
