Broad World

The beginning of March is the coldest day of the year for Baldur's Gate, especially the cold wind blowing from the north and south, which can take away all the heat from a person's body in an instant.

Generally speaking, at this time of year, most residents will hide in their homes to keep warm, while merchants, adventurers, and mercenaries gather in groups in taverns and hotels to exchange news. Only after thawing did they leave for other towns one after another.

However, the situation this winter is slightly different. Due to the establishment of Weywood City in the north, a large amount of supplies are consumed every day, so merchants keep delivering goods there, even if the road is blocked by heavy snow, their enthusiasm cannot be stopped.

After all, it was already late autumn after the orcs built the city wall, and there was no time to grow food and vegetables. In addition, they relied on the large amount of money they got from selling slaves, so they bought almost everything during this period, which greatly boosted the economy in the south. Merchants They drove the carriage back and forth in an endless stream, and never stopped to rest from the beginning to the end.

In addition, the foundation of the huge floating city that is being built not far outside the city has also attracted countless eyes.

In order to speed up the progress, Borken, who was in charge of supervising the quality of the project, even offered a sky-high salary of three silver coins a day. Tens of thousands of citizens and nearby farmers left their homes and came to the construction site. Here they can not only earn a lot of money during the winter break, but also proudly brag to their neighbors that they have participated in the construction of the floating city.

On the second floor of a residential building near the city gate, two spies from the City of Shadows were carefully using spells to observe the hot construction site in the distance. It took more than ten minutes before they stopped casting spells. One of them lowered his voice and asked, "What's the matter?" So, have you found the power source?"

The other one shook his head slightly: "No, even a slightly stronger magic area can't be found. Not to mention a powerful energy source that can drive the entire city to fly."

"Damn! I got nothing. Either they hid the power source, or this so-called floating city is just a cover."

"Then what should we do? The higher-ups have issued a death order. We must confirm whether this thing can fly before the construction is completed. If the task cannot be completed..." Speaking of this, the spy in the gray cloak couldn't help but shudder. , eyes full of fear.

The other guy also gritted his teeth and nodded: "There is no way, the oriole must be moved, and the exact information must be obtained no matter what. I don't want to fall into the hands of Prince Ruivalan."

"In this case, let's split up. You go to contact the oriole, and I will go out of the city to see if I can find a way to sneak in. Maybe I can find something new if I get closer."

After speaking, the two quickly separated, one quietly left the house through the back door, and the other pretended to be a sick old man and staggered towards the city. They didn't notice at all that there were two pairs of eyes staring at them all the time in the darkness. After the two walked a little further away, the two black shadows quickly followed, closely following their target.

As an intelligence organization that has covered half the continent. The Thieves Guild under Robert is unique in tracking, and few people can get rid of their surveillance, unless the opponent is a spellcaster above level 15. Or an expert in this field, otherwise it would be impossible to perceive the ubiquitous eyes.

Half an hour later, a letter filled with dense information was placed on Henry's table, including all the activities of the six spies who entered Baldur's Gate, what they ate for a few days, what they ate, and those people they met , What was talked about, even the time to go to the toilet, and whether the excrement was dry or thin, all of them were clearly recorded.

Such a terrifying and efficient monitoring method. It made Shi Kodi who was standing next to him feel his scalp tingling. Although she knew that her husband had an organization responsible for collecting intelligence, it was only at this moment that she realized how wrong she was. From this report alone, it can be seen that as long as Henry nods, these secretive spies Disappeared without a trace.

"Hmph! It seems that the spies in the City of Shadows finally can't sit still. I want to see what this guy called Oriole is capable of." Henry sneered and threw the information to Robert who had just returned from Tethyr. "I leave this matter to you. Find out the true identity of the oriole as quickly as possible."

After taking a look at it, the leader of the thieves replied without hesitation: "Understood. I guarantee that as soon as they connect, the true colors of the oriole will be revealed immediately."

Henry has always been very reassured about the efficiency of his capable subordinates, so he nodded lightly: "Remember, don't startle the snake. I want to play with these guys. Oh, yes. Tethyr's side Is it going well?"

"It went very smoothly. I used the two dukes on the list one after another. After seeing the list, they completely succumbed. By exerting pressure on the royal family, they forced King Harid III and Queen Zanlanda Star Laington to give up Waylon. The peninsula where it is located. After all, this country has been in a semi-hostile state with the elves of the Verdas Forest, so it is impossible to take care of the north in a short period of time. In addition, the two dukes also want to form an alliance with us and intend to overthrow the current ruler ..."

Robert told everything in detail, not even letting go of some details, especially the extremely detailed description of the contradiction between the two strongest political forces in Tethyr.

Ten minutes later, Henry showed a playful smile on his face: "So although Tethyr is unified on the surface, it has actually been split into two parts internally. One is the emerging nobles who are closely surrounding the royal family, and the other is One is the traditional aristocracy united by the dukes. If the former wants to take power completely, the latter must be greatly weakened, while the latter is unwilling to give up vested interests and chooses to unite with foreign forces?"

"Yes, as far as I know, due to the long-term war, the traditional nobles don't care about the so-called country at all, they just want to ensure that their territory is not violated. At present, including Amn, Zhentarim Society, Harpist, The Talisman Society, the Shadow Thieves, and even Karinshan in the south also got involved, if it weren't for the large number of church knights trying to maintain order, it would have been chaotic."

Although Robert's political sense is not very keen, he can probably analyze many situations after such a long period of training. In his opinion, Tethyr, which is full of contradictions, is not strong at all, as long as the seemingly fragile balance is broken. In an instant, it will fall into years of continuous wars, just like it was more than ten years ago.

"Since this is the case, let's give those dukes a small amount of intelligence assistance first. If they are really capable of overthrowing the current royal family, then I don't mind giving it another go. In addition, you have recently moved the stronghold in Calimshan Get up, and send a piece of information to the headquarters of the Masked Mage Guild every month, neither too simple nor too detailed, in short, it's good."

Henry has not forgotten the promise he made to Sean VII. But I don’t want to expose the size of the intelligence organization, so I prepared a plan like this. Anyway, the biggest enemies for the demilich are the Talisman Society and the ancient blue dragon Ivy Klasagran. As long as you have a general understanding of other forces, it’s almost the same. up.

"Understood, I will send someone to deliver it on time on the first day of every month." As he spoke, Robert bowed slightly, turned and opened the door and left the room.

With the departure of the thief leader, only Shikodi, who had just become queen, was left in the house. She was a little overwhelmed at the moment, and didn't understand what her husband wanted her to hear.

Seeing his wife's nervousness, Henry laughed mischievously: "Haha! My dear, are you surprised? The world we live in is actually very dangerous. Every country and power has shady means behind it, otherwise Words will soon be weakened and subverted in conspiracy after conspiracy. Today is to let you have a psychological preparation, and the next period of time. You have to slowly start to touch this hidden net in the shadows, otherwise there is no way to manage it Good kingdom."

Shi Kodi nodded half-understanding: "Well, although I don't quite understand the purpose of doing this, as long as it is what you need, I will do it."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you can learn slowly. When I'm not around, you will shoulder part of the responsibility of managing the country." Henry said as he took his wife into his arms, and put his hands under his skirt to caress his slender thighs , while breathing gently around the neck and ears.

"You...you don't...could you... want to go out for an adventure again?" Shi Kodi asked in a low voice, resisting the tingling (pleasure) sensation. The skin around her face and neck began to flush slightly. There is also a lot of juice secreted between the legs under the caress.

Henry didn't answer right away, but took out a hand and pulled hard to remove the corset on his wife's upper body. Two plump breasts (peaks) jumped out by themselves. Due to the very good maintenance, the front bumps remained intact. With girlish ruddy.

He fiddled with the two points on the top and replied: "No, I will conduct magic research in a while, and it may disappear for a month or two."

"Ah..." Shi Kodi couldn't help shouting out due to the strong stimulation. "Quick...stop quickly...this is the study...will be seen by the servants..."

"Don't worry. Robert has already closed the door when he went out. We have at least an hour to use." After speaking, Henry took off the mage's robe unceremoniously, picked his wife up and put them on the desk, and began to kiss and caress , After a while, they were intimately combined together.

since the coronation ceremony. He and his wife have become closer than before, and passion has been rekindled in their dull emotional life. This is not the first time that this kind of intimate behavior in the study room, corridors, bedrooms, bathrooms, and even carriages, whenever there is a chance, the two of them can't wait to get entangled, the more dangerous the place, the more exciting it is.

The intense exercise lasted for a full fifty minutes, and didn't stop until it was almost noon. Shikodi cleaned up her wet lower body as quickly as possible, put on the gorgeous long dress again, and then tidied up her slightly messy hair before slipping out of the study room with a blushing face. She looks like a (mistress) woman, not a real queen.

As for Henry, he put on his robe again, and took out the construction guide for the floating city he got from Lavok to examine carefully. Although he already had a set of design plans, no one would think that his work was too perfect. After all, the wisdom of the wizard king was not comparable to that of ordinary legendary mages, and he might be able to get some inspiration from it. (to be continued ~^~)
