Broad World

The moonlight at night shone through the glass window on the desk in the study. \u0026{}.{23}{w}.{}Henry sat quietly in the chair, listening to the oral report of his bandit leader. Including the war in the north, the progress of Candlekeep's infiltration work, the status of the territory, this year's grain harvest, the reconstruction of coastal towns, and finally the information of Lathander's investigation team.

I have to say that if Robert hadn't controlled such a huge monitoring and espionage agency, various problems would definitely have occurred due to his absence from his territory for a long time, such as official corruption, dereliction of duty, abuse of private power, etc. wait. But it's different now. Everyone knows that the lord has one eye always on the territory, so there will be much fewer similar situations.

Due to the many aspects involved, the report lasted for more than half an hour. After listening patiently, Henry frowned and asked, "So the decisive battle with the Iron Throne will start tomorrow morning?"

Robert nodded slightly and replied: "Yes, according to Corey's plan, a sneak attack will be launched at dawn. With the orcs' internal cooperation, victory is a certainty."

"Are you sure these orcs are credible? As far as I know, they are a group of guys who advocate chaos and have no intentions at all. What's more, this orc chief named Fugner not only wants to get a piece of legal land, but also intends to Join our administrative system."

Ever since dealing with orcs in the North, Henry has been wary of these green or gray-skinned humanoids. Because their destructive power is too great, unlike the barbarians who advocate honor and battle. Most of these guys are gloomy, irritable, like to bully the weak, and have a strong desire for power. Although they can be subdued by force with the power of legendary spellcasters, sooner or later something will go wrong.

See the worry in your master's eyes. Robert smiled and put a piece of information on the table. "Please don't worry, I have already sent an investigation. This orc tribe is different from most others. Their chief, Fugner, has been in the northern adventure team and mercenaries for many years, and he is very eager to join the Ming world. So he expelled all the believers of the orc gods in the tribe, and made the remaining people believe in primitive shamanism again."

"Oh?! So this group of orcs are lawful? It's even more unbelievable than the kind dark elves!" Henry had an incredible expression on his face.

As far as he knows, the soul shaman itself is very similar to the druid. Most of them adhere to the indifferent way of standing, but because of their long-term participation in various affairs of the ethnic group, they also advocate order at the same time. Normally. Half of the camps of the primitive tribes presided over by them will remain lawful.

"That's right, my lord. I personally suggest that these orcs be given the necessary support, and then let them cross the Bridge of Bariskell. On the west side of the high moor. Build a new city at the fork in the trade road. That way Not only can it protect the caravans traveling north and south, but it can also suppress those trolls, hobgoblins, and of course the orc tribes living in the wild." Robert took advantage of the opportunity to put forward his own suggestions.

After staring at the map on the wall for a few minutes, Henry touched the stubble on his chin. He also thinks this suggestion is good. The trade route is the only commercial route on land that connects to the north. Starting from Waterdeep City, it passes through Adeep Forest, Dagger Beach, Misty Forest, Dragonspear Castle, and Roaring Troll Forest. Nearly one in five businessmen died on the way.

Especially the section between the High Wasteland and the Roaring Troll Forest is absolutely extremely dangerous. If a fortress city is built here. The benefits are considerable. First of all, it can provide a safe haven for caravans and adventurers traveling north and south. Secondly. With the strong city defense, the number of monsters can be consumed, and finally, the most important point is to prevent changes in Dragonspear Castle.

Yes, this is the main purpose. This famous abandoned castle is located on the southern edge of Dagger Ford, overlooking the remote and long trade route. Centuries ago, this glorious castle was once the home of the adventurer Delos Dragonspear. He has slain all kinds of beasts and monsters, from orc armies all the way to dragons and demons.

However, due to years of disrepair, a large area has collapsed, and it was once reduced to a lair of robbers and monsters. Ten years ago, Waterdeep and other trade towns formed a coalition to clean it up, killing the demons who had sneaked into the main plane through the underground portal. Subsequently, the priest of Tempus, the god of war, built a temple here to restrain the monsters gushing out from under the castle.

You must know that the underground here is directly connected to the Underdark region. Dark elves, goblin bears, ooze monsters, and various monsters living in the underworld often attack this place in an attempt to seize it as a base for attacking the surface. Of course, their plans have thus far been shattered by the valiant followers of Ares.

However, Henry would never pin his hopes on others. In order to ensure the safety of the human settlements south of the Bariskell Bridge, it is necessary to set up an early warning ahead. What's more, he himself coveted this entrance, and it would be great if he could control it in his own hands.

As for the opinions of the orcs, they are not considered at all. All they can do is obey, and only obey, otherwise, the mere 5,000-strong army will not be able to make any waves at all.

"Very good suggestion. I will talk to this orc chief personally later. In addition, you can go to integrate the trade unions in the city now. The headquarters is in the dock area, the house that originally belonged to Maiwa. Here, bring This letter." As he spoke, Henry took out the appointment letter he had prepared from his pocket.

Without this, those recalcitrant thieves simply would not take orders from strangers. Of course, with this, you may not be obedient. At this time, it depends on Robert's means. After all, in today's words, he is an airborne leader, and it is difficult to gain the approval of his subordinates until he shows his strength and leadership ability.

Robert took the letter and bowed slightly, with an eager expression on his face. He likes this kind of challenging work, so he smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will make the trade union here no different from other places in a month."

"Remember. Don't have any friction with Renault Bloodhead. We are allies now. It's best to show him a way to get rich, otherwise this guy will have a very difficult life in the future. Go. If I do well, I will give An unexpected reward for you." After speaking, Henry smiled mysteriously, stood up and left the study.

He planned to do an experiment, give Robert a little divinity, and see if the system could control divine creatures. After all, this is the earliest subordinate, and the only sister is still under his control. Coupled with so many years of training and habits, even if the possibility of breaking away from control and betrayal is very low, it can be said to be the safest method.

certainly. Before that, a large-scale purification ceremony is required for the will of the divine Sekola, otherwise unpredictable situations are likely to occur.

Divinity is to some extent a characteristic unique to God, for God. Divinity is related to the mysterious energy of a deity's personality, beliefs, rules of conduct, and alignment bias. Mortals can gain increased lifespan and several other immunities by absorbing divinity.

But this is also dangerous, because divinity contains the character and beliefs of the gods, and the fallen gods are likely to occupy the nest and be resurrected through the divinity absorbed by mortals. But more often, the collectors obliterate the original god information of divinity and then absorb it by themselves. Be the key to your own march on the path of immortality.

Once back in the room. Henry couldn't wait to take out the vial that sealed the divinity. As soon as the blue-green viscous transparent liquid appeared, it exuded a dazzling light, and low-pitched voices began to echo in my ears. This is the divinity that countless people have dreamed of. As long as a mortal merges a little bit, it is enough for a mortal to complete the change of reborn and exchange shares, breaking through the limits of race and lifespan.

He carefully took out about one-twentieth of the amount, put it into a glass tray, and then carefully drew complex magic patterns on the ground with dragon blood. In order to ensure that there would not be too much movement during the ceremony, the windows and doors of the entire room were temporarily sealed completely by spells.

"The evil blood from the abyss, the power of goodness from Heaven Mountain. Kill this divine consciousness and restore it to the emptiness and nothingness at the beginning of its birth."

Henry chanted a spell loudly. At the same time, he sprinkled the devil's blood and angel's feathers that were held tightly in both hands. Under the control of magical energy, these two diametrically opposed and mutually exclusive things began to slowly merge together, and finally turned into a drop of viscous substance, which fell on the divinity.

In an instant, accompanied by violent vibrations, a huge voice roared: "Who!!! Who dares to blaspheme the great Sekora!"

"Hmph! A sliver of consciousness dares to be so rampant! Kill it!" Henry gave the order coldly.

The magic circle quickly formed a force of destruction, rushing towards the divinity violently, only to hear the remaining voice of Sekola yelling: "Desecrator! You will suffer retribution!" Then it disappeared completely. There is no doubt that the ritual successfully destroyed the consciousness contained in the divinity, and the color changed from the original blue-green to colorless and transparent.

Henry carefully poured this drop of divinity into the potion prepared in advance. You must know that it is very dangerous for a mortal to directly absorb the divinity. If the will is not firm enough, it is very likely that the mind will be directly destroyed by the huge power. This medicine can play a certain palliative effect, and he doesn't want to make Robert a fool.

Staring at the bottle exuding a charming halo, Henry couldn't help but sighed and muttered to himself: "Divinity, what all intelligent creatures dream of. But how many people know that once they absorb this, they will lose their choice forever. There is no second possibility to crawl forward on the road to becoming a god.”

Although this thing can provide a lot of strength and immunity, he will never use it on himself. Even if he became the most powerful god, so what, he was not firmly bound in the world of Toril.

Especially after the turbulent years, the god Aiou directly changed the way to obtain the power of the gods. Only by relying on believers to continuously expand their influence can they gain more divine power. The day of victory will never be seen.
