Broad World

Because at the coronation ceremony, Henry announced the unprecedented exemption of poll tax and city tax, so the news seemed to grow wings, and it was spread throughout the west coast by businessmen and adventurers in just a few days. Catching up with the elf bards singing about the magic war that happened recently, he became a topic of conversation in an instant.

All of a sudden, the name Henry Angomey could be heard in all the pubs, hotels, and streets and alleys, and even many people with ulterior motives began to secretly pay attention to the changes in the situation, intending to take advantage of the opportunity.

As the scope of the news became wider and wider, the rulers of many cities began to pay more and more attention to this unreliable rumor. Although they don't think that any brain-dead king will really abolish these two such important taxes, but many honest civilians are willing to believe it.

Towns around Tumis, Amn, Waterdeep, and even Tethyr in the far south have experienced population loss to varying degrees. It can be said that except for the relatively cohesive Kingdom of Cormyr, all surrounding countries are affected.

In order to ensure the safety of these migrating people, Henry even dispatched troops to pick them up near the border to prevent them from being attacked by monsters in the forest. The newly formed "Knights of Solamnia" was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the operation. He stepped onto the stage of history with a positive image. As for what he can develop in the future, it depends on the efforts of the three knights.

Time flies, and another month has passed quickly. After most of the immigrants were properly resettled and government affairs were back on track, Henry finally couldn't hold back his restless heart anymore, and publicly announced the start of the construction of the Netheril Era Then the first floating city.

As soon as the news came out, it caused a huge shock, and Borken shed tears of excitement on the spot. Elastra from Silvermoon City, Kelben and Lyla from Waterdeep City all sent envoys to inquire. Is it real.

To this. Henry didn't explain much, he just laughed and didn't answer. He obtained a lot of magical knowledge of elves by extracting the memory of Joan Irenicus within a month, especially the part about the mysia has been thoroughly understood, and the magic version of the nuclear power plant at Kangus has also been officially put into operation Although some problems often occur during use, it will not take long to repair them.

Of course, the gains don't stop there. He also spared a few days to go to the headquarters of the Circle of Truth to study the mind flayer's mastermind, and finally figured out the reason for the generation of psionic energy. And also developed a method that can stimulate the potential of human psionic energy even without surgery, but it needs to waste a large number of tadpoles in the brain pool each time. With the current stored quantity, it can only be used for less than 30 times at most.

With cheap, high-efficiency, clean, and sufficient energy, with the magic lock technology, and Borken, an arcanist who knows how to build floating cities, building a fake floating city is not a problem at all, and It can also be built bigger and better, instead of replacing it with a mountain like in the Netheril era.

More than two hundred mages snatched from the Masked Mage Guild and the original group of about five hundred mages were all put into this huge project at once. A large number of simple versions of golems were continuously manufactured, and the multi-armed giants who had been staying not far from the city were forced to join them, and huge stones were pieced together. Then use magic to fuse it into one, and attach countless spells to the inside.

Judging from the number of enchantments alone, it will take at least six months to complete the basic structure, plus the magic nuclear power plant and its energy storage device, as well as a tower responsible for control.

Staring at the huge foundation rising from the ground, Henry asked his son who was following him without looking back: "It's been three days, now tell me your decision, do you want to develop your own psychic powers?"

"Father, are you sure that psychic powers can be developed to the limit to distort time, space, and even the real world?" Alan glanced at Morul standing next to him, and asked, frowning.

Originally, he was very interested in this mysterious and unpredictable power, but after seeing Morul's true face, he immediately became hesitant, fearing that he would also become a human being, a mind flayer and not a mind flayer, After all, not everyone can bear to remain deformed all the time.

Of course, Morul would not have risked his life trying to merge with the mind flayer's subconscious mind had he had other options. Now he has gained magic and spiritual power at the same time, but he has lost his original personality. It can be said that the mage apprentice originally named Morul is dead. Morul at the moment is a monster out and out.

That's right, it's a monster. Apart from retaining a small amount of thoughts about his family, he completely ignores morals and ethics, and even has no concept of good and evil. Under Henry's deliberate training, he became very indifferent, as long as he gave an order, he would never hesitate to pry open the opponent's head and suck his brains.

Essentially. This guy is not very different from a real mind flayer. Even some organs in his body have undergone changes to varying degrees. Recently, he has evolved a new organ that can be recovered and consumed by devouring the brains of intelligent creatures. Psychic powers, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a monster.

Seeing the fear in his son's eyes, Henry smiled and shook his head: "Of course, psychic powers and mages are two extremes. One is to rely on learning, understanding and control to release supernatural power. And psychic powers Through continuous self-awareness and affirmation of the power of strengthening beliefs, the goal of influencing reality is finally achieved. Don’t worry, the fusion experiment accepted by Morul is immature, so it has become what it is now. I guarantee that there will be no The danger is only an exploitation of the brain."

"Well, I take brain development and hope it feels better than that old Chasma's poison."

After hesitating for a long time, Allen finally failed to resist the temptation to acquire a powerful force, and he believed that his father would not harm him.

"A wise choice. Do you know? In fact, only 2% to 4% of the human brain is normally used, and the other parts are completely dormant. A master (mage) above level 15 can develop up to Seven percent, and legendary mages are no more than 12 percent. But what about mind flayers? According to my research, they can actually develop their brains to about 30 percent, which means psychic powers The essence of the brain is actually the release of energy generated by the high-speed operation of certain areas of the brain. As long as human beings can find a way to develop the brain, they can also become psions and psychic warriors."

Henry explained in a low voice the relationship between brain development and psychic powers. Through in-depth research on the main brain, he finally figured out most of the secrets of the octopus head, successfully deciphered the operating principles of most psychic powers, and compiled a manual for training psychic powers.

But it is a pity that only people who have developed their brains to more than 20% can barely use them. As for those ordinary people, they will have a splitting headache after a few seconds. Death from cerebral hemorrhage.

It was the first time Allen heard such a theory, his eyes lit up and he asked: "You mean... after possessing psychic powers, my learning ability, memory ability, and comprehension ability will all be greatly improved? Are psions and mages complementary?"

"Not necessarily. The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. So far no one has been able to study and understand its full functions. During the stimulation process, I have no way of controlling the specific part, so I don't know which part is strengthened. It can guarantee that you can give birth to psychic powers." Henry explained very patiently.

The research on the brain can't even be understood by earth scientists who have countless instruments to detect, let alone a traveler who only understands superficiality, maybe a legendary mage who specializes in necromancy can understand a little bit, but he will never be better than Earth. more advanced.

After all, the soul is the focus of countless necromancers' research, and the brain, which relies on the body, is not taken seriously at all. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the secret of psychic powers has never been discovered, and those mind flayer liches do not know how to ensure that their brains can regenerate after being killed.

"Sounds very interesting. When can we start?" Allen asked excitedly.

"Come on, I'll take you there now." With that said, Henry took the hands of his son and Morul, and directly started the interplanetary teleportation.

After a strong white light flashed, the three of them instantly felt themselves being crushed, and then passed through an invisible gap. A second later, they appeared everywhere with death knights, giant skeletons, bone golems and In the giant castle of the Dead Eye Tyrant, ghosts and shadows float in the sky, and creepy cries echo around from time to time.

cold!

An indescribable sense of terror surged from the bottom of my heart!

Allen just felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar all over his body. His upper and lower teeth kept fighting, and he shivered involuntarily: "This...what is this place! So...so cold!"

"The demiplane with relatively abundant negative energy is also the lair of Kangus. It's the golden demilich, you've seen it before." Henry raised his hand and blessed his son with a "protection against negative world damage".

A layer of light energy stance quickly blocked the negative energy in the air, and Alan's blue lips returned to blood after a few seconds. He glanced at the terrifying number of undead around him with some fear, and then looked at Morul who was standing aside expressionlessly, and secretly sighed that he was still too weak. Unexpectedly, he couldn't even compare to an apprentice who was talented or had psychic powers for a short time.

Henry was very keenly aware of his son's longing for power, and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, you are the most talented mage I have ever seen, even much stronger than your aunt, as long as there are one or two more Years of study and precipitation. It will definitely reach the level of shocking the whole world. Remember, no matter whether it is magic or psychic powers, there is no room for impatience. You have to learn to control your emotions and (desires) well."

"I understand...I understand..." Alan bit his lip and muttered to himself.

"If that's the case, come with me. It's not an easy job to develop the brain through stimulation." As Henry said, he led the way into the dark castle.

The undead guarding the door knelt down and saluted after seeing the comer clearly. As the real controller of the ring of truth, he has absolute control over all the undead creatures here, even the powerful liches living inside. .
