Broad World

As soon as he stepped through the portal, Henry immediately discovered that the city of Olympus was not floating in the air at this moment, but landed on the ground. Looking out of the window, countless orcs, gnolls, all kinds of goblins, ogres and other monsters are building under the supervision of golems. Towers are rising one after another, and large areas of houses, markets, and warehouses are also being built. among.

The four negative control platforms have also been repaired, and some multifunctional golems are planting seeds. The abundant magical energy in the floating city is enough to ensure the rapid growth of plants. I believe it will not take long to achieve self-sufficiency in terms of food.

"It's really good. It seems that all the infrastructure will be completed before the end of the year." He smiled and muttered to himself.

It has to be said that the victory in the Battle of the North has brought huge benefits to the entire kingdom. Leaving aside the expansion of the land and the scope of control, the tens of thousands of high-quality laborers are a lot of money and wealth. There is no need for the monsters on the ground to be soft-hearted. Basically, women are used as men, and men are used as livestock. To be precise, they are not even as good as livestock.

Domestic animals can still rest for a few hours after work, but these guys can only sleep for four hours a day at most, and they spend the rest of the time doing heavy physical labor. As long as there is any sign of laziness, the golem will He picked up the whip and beat him hard.

It can be predicted that, except for those ogres and giants with unimaginable physical fitness, the remaining goblins, orcs, kobolds, etc. should be almost dead after the completion of the project, which is completely equivalent to solving the trouble once and for all.

Just when Henry was going to the teleportation room, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Borken walked in with a look of surprise and shouted: "Damn it! You are finally back! I have several troublesome things that have been pending here. Your last Come up with a solution now."

"Trouble? Tell me, who dares to trouble us?" Henry narrowed his eyes, and a chilling sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Since the reverse side was completely separated from the body. He has already completely solved his worries, and was planning to find a few models to stand up for, but he didn't expect someone to come to his door.

Borken rubbed his brows and explained with a wry smile: "No, the situation is not what you imagined. Our troubles mainly come from within. After the last war, many people have noticed the troubles of Olympus City. It is powerful, so many nobles and civilians have applied for immigration, eager to live in this city. There are a lot of them, and they are also very stubborn. I personally suggest that you can filter some of them. After all, even a city of mages needs merchants and scholars and entertainment."

"Stubborn?" Henry had a strange look on his face when he heard the word, and immediately raised his head and asked, "You mean, they are using some means to force you to submit?"

He couldn't believe that Borken, who has always been tough, would take the initiative to compromise! And the target is a group of civilians!

Is today the end of the world?

"That's right, it's stubbornness. Have you seen the tents around the city? They threatened to hang their tents under the floating city if I don't agree to open immigration." Bor slightly sighed. Pointing to the densely packed tents around the city, some of them even nailed ropes to the rocks below.

"Oh...Damn it! I thought those tents were for laborers to live in!!" Henry finally understood why Borken would take the initiative to compromise at this moment. It turned out that he was threatened. And it's the kind of threat that can't be countered.

Undoubtedly, these guys also worked hard to become the first batch of residents of the Floating Void City. They actually joked about their own lives. As long as the Floating Void City flies together, it is estimated that 90% of those living in the tents will fall from the sky and be killed alive. Handsome as meat.

Headache!

Seeing this scene, Henry couldn't come up with any good solutions, and at the same time understood Borken's difficulties.

first. Deportation is definitely not an option, because it is very easy to cause riots, and the personal image and national credit that has been built with great difficulty will also be destroyed, which is completely worth the candle.

But it is obviously not enough to let the other party succeed in this way, because once the nobles and businessmen find that coercing public opinion is so easy to use, they will inevitably intensify in the future, which will definitely be a huge disaster for the rule.

It can be said that the current situation in Olympus City is completely in a dilemma, and all Borken can do is delay as much as possible. Hope and time can quench the fanaticism of these people.

Looking down at the dense crowd of subjects below, Henry felt that the situation would only get worse if it continued to procrastinate, so he frowned and thought for a few minutes before suddenly thinking of a solution.

He thought carefully. After confirming that there would be no problems, he took a deep breath and said, "Well, let's conduct an exam. We will screen out the smart people among them, and then organize them to have a one-month education on materialism and the essence of gods. It can guarantee that the city will not be infiltrated by the gods in the end. Remember, once you find the stubborn guy, deal with it immediately, and the residents who enter the city are absolutely not allowed to leave. "

Borken also felt that this method was feasible, and nodded thoughtfully: "It sounds good, but what exactly is the test?"

"It's very simple. It's divided into two parts. One part is common knowledge of magic, and the other part is memory, mathematics and logical thinking. You should be very experienced in this area. You just need to let those people with insufficient intelligence retreat from difficulties." Henry didn't even think about it Then gave the answer.

Olympus City is a base for cultivating spellcasters, and it is also a huge research base. It is compulsory to ensure that the quality of the residents is higher than the overall level of Faerun. As for those illiterates who have problems reading and writing in the language, they will never think about it. Come in.

"So that's it. You mean to raise the threshold and get rid of most people." Borken instantly understood the intention of doing so.

Henry nodded lightly: "That's right, after we set a threshold, those guys with unrealistic fantasies will retreat soon, if they dare to continue to gather here and not leave, then they can send troops, justifiably It is like using a net to catch fish, no matter how big our mesh is, as long as we can catch one fish, no one will dare to say that the net is useless.”

In fact, similar methods are often used in both politics and business, which can not only achieve the goal, but also make those who are eliminated feel miserable.

Seeing that the most difficult trouble finally found a solution, Borken suddenly became much more relaxed: "Okay, I will start to screen the residents who meet the requirements, and the first batch is tentatively scheduled to be 1,500 residents. There is another thing that needs to be mentioned. Recently, several priests of the goddess of poison and disease—Talona appeared nearby. They neither chose to preach, nor did they spread panic. Very suspicious."

"The priest of the poisonous lady? Their reaction is really slow enough, and they just showed up now. Forget it, ignore it for now, if these guys don't make any threatening moves, let them go first, if they come to visit, then Let them wait first, I have more important things to go to Sigil, and I will leave everything here to you." After speaking, Henry turned around and walked towards the door.

Ever since Elminster gave the warning, he has long been prepared to deal with Talona. Anyway, the power of this goddess in the main plane is far from being strong, and he definitely dare not force her. little action.

"Are you going to Sigil?"

Borken obviously didn't pay attention to the goddess of poison and disease, but was more concerned about Henry's whereabouts.

Sigil City is also known as the City of Ten Thousand Gates. It is the center of the entire multiverse, with portals leading to various planes and universes, through which you can reach almost anywhere, and countless intelligent creatures and resources are available. Gathering here, philosophical ideas and behaviors from all corners of the universe can be called a paradise for mages.

Of course, there are reasons for doing harm. As a huge city full of fish and dragons, Sigil City’s public security has always been not very good. Due to the gathering of a large number of strange and weird ideas, it directly led to fierce conflicts. When language cannot resolve disputes, violent conflicts And so it happened.

For people living in Sigil, it is no surprise that they can enjoy the fights and fights that happen around them every day, and the debates develop into killing people with swords.

Henry had heard a lot of rumors, so he knew what Borken was worried about, and shrugged his shoulders with a smile: "That's right, I'm going there to inquire about something, at least a few weeks, at most a month or two, probably not What happened. During this period of time, help me keep an eye on the situation in the kingdom, if someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, I will allow you to use the floating city to fight back."

"Okay, I will take care of these problems, but you'd better go and come back quickly. The main plane has not been very peaceful recently, and maybe something big will happen soon. In addition, someone sent a message not long ago, Warn us not to interfere with the sons of Baal."

As an arcanist left over from the era of Netheril, Borken can clearly feel that a huge storm is brewing in the entire continent of Faerun, although the Kingdom of West Hartland can't see it for the time being. There are no signs of turmoil, but who can guarantee that there will be no problems.

"Don't worry, I've made the corresponding arrangements, and there shouldn't be any trouble. Oh, by the way, help me send a message to Hawke, asking him to send some officials and craftsmen to Waylon." Henry said. He stopped talking nonsense and walked straight towards the teleportation room.

He is very clear that his top priority right now is to find the coordinates of the earth, and then quickly send the reverse side away. The more knowledge this guy acquires in the Mage Tower, the more dangerous he will become. If he completely integrates the two systems Together, the destructive power is too terrifying, and it might repeat the scene of the high elves tearing up the continent.

When the power of destruction is combined with the original magic itself, even a black hole that devours everything can be easily created. It is the ultimate power that can turn all matter into nothingness. Even the gods themselves may not be able to escape...
