Chapter 836 Final Preparations

As the floating city climbed to 1,500 meters above the ground, the behemoth finally stopped. With the power of magic locks, hundreds of mages freely teleported in the huge city, carefully checking whether every node and transmission line has a problem.

They have long been promised by Borken that as long as they perform well in the upcoming war, they can become the first residents of Olympus City after everything is over. If they have enough financial resources, they are allowed to build their own. own tower.

For the spellcasters, there is nothing happier than staying in this city in the sky with unlimited energy, so everyone is full of motivation. They believe that with the powerful power of the mythos, they can win no matter what enemies they face.

More than half an hour later, several trusted senior mages appeared in the central control room and reported the results of the inspection very respectfully.

"Master, everything in the East District is normal, and the energy output of the magic node is stable." A middle-aged man in a gray robe stood up and said first. There was an unconcealable excitement on his face, and the fanatical gaze in his eyes, he simply regarded Henry as a god.

In fact, since the announcement of the construction of the Floating Void City, many people in the mage group had a crazy personality worship of Henry, and some even added a lot of power to the scepter of faith.

Using the power of the artifact, he can easily tell who is most loyal to him, and then select the four people with the highest spellcasting level to assist Borken in controlling the entire Olympus City.

The old man with slightly gray hair stood up second, and bowed slightly: "Everything is normal in the west area, the golem has entered the designated area, and I will listen to your orders at any time."

"The negative energy of the two nodes in the northern district is a bit too strong, but it doesn't affect the whole. I suggest that you transform this area into a base for studying necromancer magic."

The third to stand up was a dwarf woman. Although she looks cute and lolita, she is actually a level 15 necromancer who specializes in biological transformation experiments. The evil and cruelty she showed in the research made Borken, who had participated in the fusion experiment Arcanists are unbearable.

"There is a chaotic magic fluctuation in a node in the southern area, and the range of influence is about 30 meters. Although it can be repaired, I personally think it is better to keep it."

The last one to stand out was a slender, elegant moon elf woman. She was exiled because she studied the forbidden magic that was strictly prohibited by the elves. When she passed by Baldur's Gate, she happened to catch up with the construction of the floating city. Simply joined in.

After a period of contact, she felt that compared with Henry's boldness and madness, the taboo she had violated was nothing at all. Out of admiration for the big madman, she voluntarily became a capable subordinate.

It can be said that the above four people are more or less mentally abnormal, either for the purpose of magic research, or the natural worship of the weak to the strong, the most important thing is that they are absolutely loyal, and their spellcasting levels are all above fourteenth level, and Each has rich combat experience. It is completely sufficient to be the leader of a low-level mage.

Henry sat on a chair carved out of a whole piece of crystal, staring at the two couples in front of him, with a smile on his face: "Good job. It seems that you have lived up to my expectations. Now let all the mages enter the battle State, after the war is over, I will divide the city of Olympus into four areas, and each of you will be responsible for one of them, and then you can study forbidden magic to your heart's content, as long as it doesn't cause too much damage."

"Really?!" The lolita-looking and cute dwarf mage asked loudly, her eyes lit up.

"Of course, dear Hannah, you should be most aware of my support for magic research." Henry stood up and approached. He stroked the dwarf's slightly fat chin like a puppy.

Hannah first closed her eyes and hummed a few times in enjoyment, and then laughed nervously: "Hey hey hey! I can finally transform those cute little babies as I like!"

Seeing her appearance, the other three moved sideways one after another, as if they were afraid of being infected, and even Borken couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile.

Obviously, they have all seen the manufacturing process of those so-called babies in Hannah's mouth. Just thinking about it makes people creepy, even among a group of lunatics. She is also recognized as the most evil and bottomless one.

"Master, do you really intend to open up all research? Are you not afraid... some research projects will arouse the disgust of the gods?" the beautiful and elegant moon elf asked slightly surprised.

The subject of her research is the super teleportation magic of ancient elves, which is a super spell that can transport an entire race from one universe to another intact. In Faerun Continent, this technology is completely taboo. Since the elves and gods took control of the race, they sealed it away, and no one was allowed to spy and study it.

in the east. The ancient human empire Imaskar also mastered the same technology at its peak, but it could not escape the end of extinction in the end. For the gods, once mortals use similar technology, there is no doubt that they will launch inter-universe wars and colonization to obtain more resources and wealth, but it is of no benefit to them, because they cannot One's own power extends to another universe, and it may also bring a lot of unstable factors.

You must know that the Imasca Empire accidentally brought back the gods of another world because of the plundering of the population across the universe. As a result, it not only led to its own demise, but also added two full gods to the Toril universe.

Perhaps before the turbulent years, the gods still held an indifferent attitude to this, after all, at that time they did not rely on mortals for power, but it is absolutely impossible to allow a similar situation now.

Because believers and influence mean divine power, any outsider may break the delicate balance, and even a large-scale divine war is not impossible.

"Don't worry, Helen. The gods will never try to stretch their tentacles into this floating city. It will be the purest city of mages and scholars. Those who are allowed to live here in the future will truly explore the mysteries of the universe. To be precise, they will all be unbelievers, so there is no need to worry about leaking secrets." After speaking, Henry's eyes showed a gleam.

Obviously, he intends to establish a method of operation led by senior mages and many people participate in research projects, and he is only responsible for getting the results.

During this process. All mages can be trained, and the level of spellcasting is steadily increasing. It may not take long for the mage group to complete the process of quantitative change to qualitative change, and quickly grow into an awesome force.

"Reject the power of the gods?!" Borken shuddered violently, with an unbelievable expression on his face. "Forgive me, it may be very difficult. Most mortals cannot resist the erosion of faith, and they are always eager to find a spiritual sustenance. Even the great arcanists of Netheril can't solve this problem. Even if you ban priests from coming Come to preach. The gods can still spy on our secrets through believers."

As someone who has experienced it, he is too familiar with the natural flaws of ordinary people in this area, especially after the establishment of the Wall of Unbelievers, even mages have found a god to hang on it in order to avoid being nailed to it after death. Even being a false believer here is a hundred times better than having no faith, at least you don't have to be nailed to a wall to suffer and die.

Henry smiled and took out two books from his pocket and said still on the table: "Indeed, most people need spiritual sustenance, so I prepared this. All those who want to live in Olympus City in the future must take the exam And the contents are these two books. As for the problem after death, don’t worry. With the support of infinite energy, I can help those spellcasters whose life has come to an end transform into other forms. For example, undead, elements, devils, demons, etc. wait."

I saw two books written "Materialism" and "On the Difference between Gods and Mortals". Although there are not too many secrets recorded in the information of the incarnation and the saint, the gods are revealed between the lines. I believe that it is difficult for people who have read it to have any strong worship for them. For a mage who has always been selfish Even more so.

Borken started shaking after only a few pages. His eyes revealed unconcealable fear. He is very clear about what these two books mean, especially "Materialism" is like tailor-made for arcanists. The two books together are completely digging the roots of the gods. If it is spread, many The power of the gods is likely to drop sharply. You must know that the belief of mortals is the most unstable thing in this world.

"How? Am I well prepared?" Henry asked with a meaningful smile.

Borken smiled wryly and nodded: "It's really sufficient, but I have to remind you that once these two things are spread, we will immediately become the public enemy of all gods, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

Henry put away the two books, laughed and said: "Hahahaha! I'm not that stupid yet, these two books will only be circulated in Olympus City, and I will ask everyone who reads them to sign a copy A strict magical contract. Guaranteed not to let any god know."

"In that case, I'm relieved. The inspection is now complete. Excuse me, is it suitable to go? We have been in the air for a long time."

Hearing that Henry already had a complete plan, the expression on Borken's face relaxed, and he asked when to attack. He knew very well that the top priority at this time was to defeat the City of Shadows, otherwise everything would be empty talk.

"Send someone to check the portals on the four flying platforms, and leave after confirming that there is no problem." Henry waved his big hand and gave the order without hesitation. There was always a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't wait to decide the outcome with the remnants of Netheril.

"yes!"

The four senior mages responded in unison, followed by a bow, and then directly used the power of the mythos to completely disappear in place.

Henry stood up and looked at the golems and the busy mages waiting outside the window, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself: "It's finally about to start, Floating Void City vs. Floating Void City, the old era vs. the new era, history will soon be To turn a new page, I will definitely be the final victor. City of Shadows, let us have a good fight..."

After just ten minutes of inspection, the huge city of Olympus suddenly released a bright light like the sun, and in the next second it disappeared without a trace.

All the residents around Baldur's Gate saw this scene, and they all exclaimed loudly, and the city that was originally quiet was boiling again.

Standing on the top floor of the mage tower, Tyrantir touched his gray beard and sighed, "It's an unbelievable miracle. It seems that I can also consider moving the castle up. Living in the floating city is a great temptation."

After speaking, he shook his head with a smile, turned around and returned to the house, continuing his experiment. (to be continued ~^~)
