Broad World

Iron and blood can make a person famous far and wide, and they can also forge the soul of a country or even a nation.

In Faerun Continent, a world full of wars, conspiracies, and killings, all civilians yearn for a strong ruler, even if they sometimes become brutal and keen to start wars.

Because only a strong ruler can deter those evil organizations that are about to move, and keep dangerous monsters and beasts away from people's daily life.

The last and most important point is that when a person with terrifying strength and a strong personality becomes the master of a certain country, the residents of this country will develop a strong personality cult in a very short period of time, and the more technologically backward the area, the more Obviously, this has been proven countless times in the history of the earth.

As long as human beings do not evolve to completely get rid of ignorance, then the cult of personality will never stop, because history will always record those individuals who stand at the top of the era, as for the unknown people who promote social progress, they are selectively ignored from beginning to end , so more than 90% of people believe that those major events in history were decided by great people. In fact, they just stood up at the right time. Although they are very important, they are not irreplaceable.

The West Hartland region has been divided for too long, and it is particularly eager for a strong monarch, and Henry's appearance just meets the wishes of most residents. In addition, he formulated a tax reduction policy, which instantly won the support of countless civilians. Worship and support, in addition to the poor financial situation, other forms can be said to be very good. Even if the security of Baldur's Gate is slightly worse recently, it cannot stop the growing enthusiasm of the crowd.

Of course, the poor law and order situation is due to the fact that Robert's intelligence organization frequently launched tentative attacks on suspicious people. It doesn't have much to do with ordinary people, and the assassins are also very measured, and rarely cause real fatal injuries.

Looking at the increasingly prosperous city outside the window, an indescribable sense of accomplishment arose spontaneously, and Henry didn't hesitate to ask, "How, after so many days, find out who the spy named Oriole is?" Yet?"

"Yes, but I can't be sure. A few days ago, Velva tried to test a woman named Serena. Her spellcasting level and combat experience are very suspicious. She also has a very beautiful appearance and figure. It is said that Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, as long as they take a look at it, they will be fascinated by it, and it completely meets all the qualities that ace spy needs to possess..."

Robert, who was hiding in a dark corner, made a report in detail. Because he has been in charge of secret intelligence work for a long time, he likes to hide himself more and more, and even tries to stay in an inconspicuous corner at ordinary times. As the queen, Shi Kodi even jokingly calls her the shadow of the king.

For this kind of ridicule, Robert himself doesn't have much opinion. After all, in Faerun Continent, being someone's shadow means trusting each other unconditionally. This is the most appropriate way to describe the relationship between him and Henry. up.

"According to your inference. Is the City of Shadows planning to let this woman seduce me?" Henry asked with a strange expression, his mouth twitching slightly.

He couldn't believe that Ruivalan Tanshul, who was the Prince of Shadows, would use such a despicable method. I don't seem to be acting like I can't walk when I see a beautiful woman, right?

Robert smiled helplessly and explained: "I also have some doubts about this, but based on the information obtained so far, this is the only conclusion. None of the spies caught by the City of Shadows have actually seen the oriole, so now we can only lock This is a woman named Serena."

"Oh? It seems that Rui Valan has done a good job of keeping secrets. Where is this woman now? I want to see how beautiful she is." After finishing speaking, a sneer appeared on Henry's face, and his eyes popped out. A shuddering gaze.

"Sorry, Serena is dead. Someone found her body three days ago in an abandoned dock. An evil magic dagger pierced the heart from the back, sucked out all the life force in the body, and the tongue was also ripped out The attackers are experienced in assassinating spellcasters, and prevented the possibility of chanting spells in the first place."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Robert's expression was immediately filled with gloom, and his whole body was exuding a murderous look, obviously really angry. This is simply a blatant mockery. Taunt the incompetence of the entire Thieves Guild, and mock him as the leader.

"died?!"

Hearing the news, Henry frowned immediately.

"Could it be that Ruivalan found out that the spies were exposed and chose to kill people to cover up the truth? No, no, Telamante once said. There is no second precious piece like the oriole, which means that he, It is absolutely impossible for her or it to be consumed at will. This woman named Serena is definitely not a real oriole."

Thinking of this, he immediately turned around and asked, "Are there any other discoveries besides these? For example, have any strangers tried to approach Borken recently?"

In order to find out this spy lurking around him, Henry has gone to great lengths. He even used the "Secret Core" as bait. The other party showed his feet.

Robert squinted his eyes and thought about it for a long time, and finally answered with some uncertainty: "I haven't paid much attention to this, after all, the Floating Void City has attracted many mages from other places. Guaranteed not to be discovered when approaching, so Borken is responsible for this aspect, you'd better ask him face to face."

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful clues, Henry could only nod slightly: "Okay, I see, you can go to work first. In addition, pay more attention to the intelligence gathering in the northern region. I found that there are many forces that seem to be They are all very interested in that wild land."

The Supreme Wasteland is the ruins of the ancient elf empire Maierita. It is likely that some unknown treasures are buried. The last time he sealed the ruins of the crazy snake Kareson reminded him that he must take good care of this area. Can not easily cheap other organizations or individuals.

"Up to two months, I promise to establish a new stronghold near the high wasteland. Once the wind blows down, there will be news back." After speaking, Robert bowed slightly and quickly disappeared without a trace. Henry didn't quite see how he left the room by any means. Stealth skills have completely reached the point of perfection.

"City of Shadows...Rivalan...Teramante...and Miss Shar...Since you guys want to play big, then I will accompany you to the end and see who can be the final victor. "

Henry squinted his eyes and secretly made up his mind to make the other party look good even if he paid some price. He has never been afraid of anyone in the contest of intelligence, even if the opponent is the goddess who is known to be the best at intrigue.

At the same time, in the demiplane where the headquarters of the Ring of Truth is located, Kangus is leading all the members of the inner ring to prepare for a huge magic ceremony in order to complete the transformation of the magic crystal "Clinshinibon", Completely expel its inner chaotic consciousness.

But it's obviously not easy. Because the magic crystal shard is quite dangerous for every lich, it absorbs the power of seven creators to maintain immortality at the beginning of its birth, which means that it can ignore the phylactery and directly kill the lich completely, Can no longer be reborn.

"Boss, everything is ready. Let me ask one last time. Are you sure you want to do this? Although Clinshinibon is powerful, it is far less important than a legendary mage in undead form."

Bertram tactfully put forward his own opinion. He felt that it would be a great waste to use the lives of three liches to transform just one magic crystal shard. After all, Crenshinibon is nothing more than a magic item, and the caster can not only fight, but also participate in research.

Congus glanced at the legendary Lich who was specialized in divination beside him. There was a burst of deep laughter: "Hey hey hey, Bertram, do you understand the meaning of the existence of the ring of truth?"

"Of course!" Bertram nodded without hesitation. "Only the truth lasts forever. Our goal is to explore all the mysteries in this world."

After hearing this answer, the demilich shook his golden skull without hesitation: "No, you are wrong. The purpose of the existence of the Ring of Truth is to serve the master, and any orders and wishes from him must be carried out unconditionally , no matter how absurd these orders sound. Remember. This is the most important point. Also, warn those guys who have not been very honest recently, and let them all give me peace of mind."

Due to the rapid expansion, some dark-minded members of the inner ring began to cultivate their own power in private. Although it has not yet reached the point where it will affect the overall situation, signs of forming cliques have already appeared. For any organization, this can be regarded as a Very serious betrayal.

But Congus is very clear, as long as he still holds everyone's phylactery. Then they have to be obedient, no matter how much they think, they can only stay at the stage of thinking, and they dare not put it into practice at all, unless they don't want to live.

Bertram understood the meaning of the warning in the words, and immediately bowed deeply: "I understand. Please rest assured, I promise to tell everyone this sentence intact. Within two days They'll just stop making small moves."

"Very good, I will come up with one or two legendary magic materials in a few days and reward those members who are loyal to the Ring of Truth. It is better to complete the ceremony now, the master is still waiting for the magic crystal shard to be used urgently."

After saying this meaningful sentence, Kangus put the shining crystal pillar into the center of the complex pattern, followed by scanning all the inner ring members present, and then floated to the designated position and began to chant spells loudly.

Just a few seconds later, the position standing under Burtram's feet suddenly released a dazzling halo. He didn't dare to neglect, and began to chant his own part of the spell. Next, Ansair, Alva, Alves, Ansalon, Loser, Bocas, Oleg, etc. also chanted loudly following the halo that appeared under their feet.

The magic energy formed by several powerful liches together flooded the basement like a violent flood. If it wasn't for the multiple reinforcements around the walls, it might have been unable to sustain the collapse.

With a sufficient supply of energy, the Sharded Magic Crystal, which had been sleeping all along, showed signs of awakening, especially the pulsation produced by the crystal became stronger and stronger, as if a person who was about to die of thirst found an oasis. absorb.
