Chapter 805 Catch the "Mouse"
Relying on the invisibility ability of the Archmage's staff, Henry passed through the monsters' camp unimpeded.
As if aware of his presence, this crystal-clear, dazzling tower immediately dispelled the invisibility magic on the gate leading to the first floor.
"It's really a convenient artifact, no wonder so many people are crazy about it..." Henry muttered softly, and walked into the passage.
Although he has known for a long time that the magic crystal shard can turn his replica into a fully functional mage tower, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he still can't help but sigh the powerful power of "Clinshinibon". Only when he is released can he display 100% of his abilities, otherwise, half of Faerun Continent may fall.
Among other things, just building a magic crystal tower anytime and anywhere is enough to cause countless human countries to collapse, because the owner of the magic crystal shards staying inside can be immune to all magic and physical attacks, unless the energy is exhausted and collapses on its own, otherwise If it is not, there is no way to break into it even if you are exhausted.
Just imagine, after the army of justice finally defeated the evil forces, they found that they could not launch any attacks on the source of evil, otherwise all attacks would bounce back on themselves, that kind of mixed negative emotions such as depression, aggrieved, gnashing of teeth, etc. Enough to blow the lungs of any normal person.
The Magic Crystal Tower was completely undefended for Henry, and it was easy to reach the third floor, where Kangus was using the mirror of detection to search for the hidden monster tribes in the mountains, and made the leader of the opponent submit to "Clinshinibon" under control.
"How's the progress? Almost all the powerful tribes in these two mountains and the entire plain have been summoned by you?" Henry asked with a smile on his face.
Obviously, he is very satisfied with the work efficiency of the demilich, especially the thousands of hill giants are really surprising. The militarized management of giants does not have the powerful talent of frost giants. But as long as each of them is given a sledgehammer, an alien version of the forced (demolition) brigade will be born.
Congus sighed helplessly, and directly turned off the mirror's exploration function: "It didn't go very well. It took me a few days to recruit more than 30 tribes. It seems that there is not much potential to be tapped in this area. .”
Henry nodded understandingly: "It's okay, these quantities are almost enough, you'd better build the teleportation device within ten days, because the war with the City of Shadows is about to begin."
"So fast?!" the demilich asked slightly surprised.
"Yes, in order to draw my attention, Rui Valan has gathered an unprecedented scale of tribal coalition forces in the north, so the time for the decisive battle has been forced to advance a bit. But don't worry, the main part of the floating city has been built, and it can barely be invested. Actual combat, I believe he will be able to give him a big surprise then." Speaking of Henry, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, revealing a chilling sneer.
"Hey hey hey! A lot of cannon fodder and bait?" Kang Gusi opened his mouth and let out an eerie laugh. "It seems that this prince of ghosts has thought of the same thing as you. The only difference is that your plan is more secretive and destructive. The truth is to see for yourself the panic, killing and destruction of the residents of ghost city when they were invaded. Just thinking about it makes me excited."
"I'm afraid you won't have the chance to see it. I don't intend to use your power. The Ring of Truth is not yet suitable for people to see. What it needs now is low-key development. Until it becomes an unshakable behemoth. Most importantly, The Harpers must not be made aware of our connection, Elminster is old, but he is still a rival to be reckoned with."
Henry is very aware of the strength of the first voter of the goddess of magic. Many people will be deceived by Elminster's not very high spellcasting level, thinking that it is nothing more than that, but in fact this old guy has quite a lot of cards, especially That keen and precise judgment. He has resolved huge crises many times, coupled with his cautious and suspicious personality, almost no conspiracy can hide from him.
The cold light in the demilich's eyes flickered, and he shook his golden skull gently: "Understood, any spellcaster must be careful when facing the chosen ones of the goddess of magic, that damned silver fire energy is really annoying."
As a top undead creature, Yinhuo restrained him too much, not only him. Almost all liches grit their teeth when they mention this kind of power.
"Hehe, it's best for you to understand this. I'm just here to confirm the progress of the work, and then inform you to build the portal as soon as possible. A big show will be staged soon. I also want to catch a cunning little mouse, so I will Don't stay any longer." After speaking, Henry turned around and was about to leave.
"little mouse?"
Congus suddenly felt a little curious. He is very clear with Henry's current strength. The guy who can be called a little mouse is at least a legendary professional, otherwise he will show his original shape under the terrifying prophecy spell in minutes.
"That's right. An assassin who has the ability to freely travel between the main plane and the shadow plane, judging from the current combat level, should also be ranked first in the city of ghosts. To be honest, it will take a lot of effort to catch him." Some tricks." Henry touched his chin and said playfully.
"Walking between overlapping planes, then this person must have transformed himself into a shadow physique. Maybe I can provide a simpler way to capture it." Congus took out a cold-breathing star from the table. white pearls. "Pearls bred from special water mussels in the northern polar ice lake, as long as they are stimulated by magic, they will instantly release terrifying low temperatures, freezing all matter or energy within three meters."
Henry carefully took it with the hands of a magician and inspected it carefully, and then sighed: "What a terrible cold, are you sure it can freeze shadow substances?"
Congus nodded quite proudly: "It's absolutely no problem. I have done experiments myself. It can freeze even semi-physical undead like ghosts, and the shadow physique is not a problem at all."
"Interesting, hopefully the mouse won't be too surprised when it gets caught."
After Henry finished speaking, he directly cast the teleportation spell and disappeared in place. He can't wait to catch this master assassin who has been making troubles, and see if he can dig out some useful information from the opponent's mouth.
...
Not far from Baldur's Gate, the huge floating city just named Olympus has completed the two most important parts, the magic lock and the energy transmission system. At this moment, Borken is directing the wizard group and The golem erected strange pillars on the periphery, except for the designer himself. Others simply don't know what it's for.
As an ace spy, Cynthia tried many times to obtain information, but unfortunately, she only got the structural diagram inside the pillar in the end. She carefully compiled all the information on the Floating Void City into a book, and then sent out a contact signal, preparing for the supporting assassin to send out the information, and she herself would continue to lurk until the last step of the plan was completed.
"Hmph! This time, you got both the stolen goods and the stolen goods. I want to see what tricks you can do."
Robert, who was hiding in the dark, sneered secretly, and moved his hands and feet a little. He began to approach quietly, intending to directly take down the target and torture him slowly.
At the moment when he was about to make a move, a black shadow suddenly flashed in from outside the house, followed by the light inside the house immediately dimmed, as if it was dark.
"Hua Que, what can I do for you?" The black shadow was covered with black mist, making it difficult to see his appearance.
Cynthia handed over the information without hesitation: "This is the latest information on the floating city. Send it to Prince Ruivalan as soon as possible. He must adjust his plan immediately. The enemy's floating city is ready for battle."
"What!" Sombra's body visibly trembled. "This is impossible! How could they complete the magic lock in such a short period of time? That is a problem that even great arcanists have a headache for!"
Cynthia took a deep breath and explained in a low voice: "It's the elves...Henry Angomey used the magic technology of the elves... Now that floating city has protection comparable to that of Myth Drannor in its heyday. Power. It's even harder to take than Shade."
Hearing this, Soi Ying finally couldn't help but began to curse in a low voice: "Damn it! What a terrifying enemy, you should stop acting for a while now. I must pass this information back immediately, otherwise..."
Before he could finish his words, a ray of extremely cold light suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and pierced into his left shoulder with a puff. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough to dodge in an instant, then the blow would have hit the throat.
"The response is good. You must know that there are not many people in this world who can avoid my sneak attack, and you are the first." Robert said that he got out of the stealth state. He flicked the blood off the dagger, and fixed his eyes on the movements of the other two.
"Who are you?!" Black Shadow asked viciously, clutching the wound on his shoulder.
Robert smiled playfully: "Haha! You raided two secret strongholds under my command in a row, and now you are asking who I am?"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Cynthia with a livid face: "And you, dear Miss Huang Que, I didn't expect you to hide it so deeply. If the master hadn't always believed in his intuition, I might have missed you. Lost. But it's a pity. The game is over, surrender obediently and explain the whole plan, and any resistance will be useless."
There's no doubt that the Rogue Chief thinks he's in the running, as both a divine dragon and a legendary rogue. He didn't feel that the two people in front of him could make any more tricks.
"Hmph! Want us to surrender? Dreaming! The City of Shadows will surely reproduce the great Netherese civilization. You are just a clown. You will get nothing in the end." Heiying suddenly took out a music from his hand. The box fell to the ground hard, making a strange noise.
Although Robert had been on guard all the time, he didn't expect the other party to make such a weird move. Just when he was still a little puzzled, Cynthia suddenly fell to the ground, her whole body twitching non-stop, as if she was experiencing The unbearable pain soon fell into a coma.
The black shadow sneered and mocked: "No one can dig out any secrets from the mouth of the oriole. Because of this, she is the most powerful spy in the City of Shadows. You are far from Prince Ruivalan."
"What did you do to her?!" Robert asked, narrowing his eyes.
Just a moment ago, he felt the great change in Cynthia's soul, as if she had completely changed from one person to another, which was unbelievably weird... (to be continued ~^~)
