Chapter 835 Miracle
After listening to the report of the (magic) pet Louis, Henry's eyes immediately shot a frightening light, and he said to Borken with a sneer: "What a coincidence, just as we were getting ready, Rui Valan launched a full-scale attack , it seems that the time for the decisive battle has come. Let all the mages take their positions, and we will take off in ten minutes."
"Understood! I've waited too long for this moment."
Borken clenched his fists excitedly, bowed slightly, immediately took the core of the secret law, and put it directly into the beam of light in the room. In an instant, the entire city of Olympus began to tremble like an earthquake, followed by a deafening sound. sound.
"Boom..."
I saw a huge white beam of light suddenly appearing on the top of the central tower. Within a few seconds, the energy transmission devices laid in the floating city started to activate. The anti-gravity magic finally gained energy, and the whole city sprang up from the ground. From then on, all the magic lamps used for lighting around were lit up, and it looked so beautiful and spectacular from a distance. An invisible magic force field enveloped the city of Olympus, and the four independent flying platforms around it also slowly climbed up.
The loud noise not only woke up the workers who were resting in the nearby tents, but also caused the residents of Baldur's Gate to step out of their homes one after another, watching the huge city rise little by little with horror on their faces.
Although they have long heard that this city can fly into the sky, but what they heard is what they heard. After seeing such a huge city really fly into the sky with their own eyes, no one can describe the surge of emotion at this moment. , and some even kneeled on the ground with their legs limp.
Just imagine how terrifying it would be for a granite block the same size as Baldur's Gate to rise higher and higher. Even without mentioning the powerful attack power of floating itself, just rampaging against the ground is enough to cause devastating damage, not to mention the It is also constantly shining with colorful magic brilliance, and the dazzling lights make it so conspicuous in the night sky, anyone who is not blind can see clearly.
shock!
An indescribable feeling surged from the bottom of everyone's heart. Whether it is a nobleman, a businessman, or an ordinary commoner, there is an unconcealable excitement in their eyes.
They all know what it means for the West Hartland Kingdom to have such a flying fortress in the air. It means that in the entire Faerun continent, there is no power that can stop the rise of this country, which can crush all armies. And the ultimate creation of the mage group is the power that can face the gods.
"Goddess of Luck, this... is this the floating object that Henry put all his efforts into building?" Shi Kodi was wearing pajamas. Running barefoot to the balcony on the second floor, he muttered in a daze.
Since she was pregnant with her second child, she felt that she was very lucky in this life, with a handsome and considerate husband, outstanding children, a thriving family, an enviable status, a rich life, and things that ordinary ladies can't match. Right, so I took the initiative to choose to believe in Tymora, the goddess of luck, and hope that the rest of my life will be the same as before.
"Your Majesty, the weather is relatively cold, you'd better go back inside, otherwise it will be bad for the fetus."
The maid who followed gently put a cloak on Shikodi, and then reminded her in a low voice. Although she was trembling with excitement, she still hadn't forgotten her duty. If the miscarriage is caused by catching cold, then what awaits her will be a very cruel punishment.
You must know that in this primitive and ignorant land, servants are nothing but indentured slaves attached to nobles. There are no human rights at all, and it is commonplace to be beaten and humiliated, and even life is threatened.
The laws of many kingdoms stipulate that nobles need to pay compensation if they accidentally kill civilians, but killing servants is an internal private matter, and they do not need to bear any responsibility at all. According to mainstream values, this is a private matter of noble families. Outsiders cannot interfere at all, otherwise it would be a provocation to the entire class.
The maid knew very well that if any accident happened to the queen and the child in her womb, no matter who was responsible, she would definitely die, so she was extra cautious and nervous.
"It's so spectacular, I really want to know what it's like to live on it..." Shi Kodi murmured obsessively to himself, then turned and returned to the house, his eyes revealing his longing for the floating city.
certainly. She was not the only one watching the scene. As the prime minister, Hawke also stood in front of his window and watched the scene, and at the same time shouted in a trembling voice: "Great! It's so great! I can't believe that such a big city is so big! It really flew! My lord, you really created a miracle!"
As the chancellor of West Hartland. He couldn't help being excited, as anyone who knew anything about the days of Netheril knew all too well. How powerful is this huge city that can float in the sky? It can be said that without the floating city, Netheril's small population would not be able to rule such a vast land, nor would it be able to defeat so many powerful enemies.
It can be said that the prosperity of Netheril civilization is based on these aerial fortresses that integrate offense and defense and can fly freely. It ensured that the Netherilians could easily conquer large tracts of land, and more than 90% of the creatures living on the ground could not resist effectively, and there was no other way to go except surrender and escape.
Having such a strategic weapon means that those nobles who are ready to move because they have lost some of their rights no longer pose any threat. When they get the news, they will immediately stop the current non-violent non-cooperation, otherwise there will be no doubt that they will Uprooted.
Because under the deterrence of Floating Cheng, the private army controlled by those nobles is a joke, smart people immediately know what to do, as long as they don't want to die, they have to obediently pout their buttocks to beg for mercy.
Hawke was already imagining how the conservative nobles would flatter him in front of him, and the wrinkled old face couldn't help showing a smug smile.
Just when the prime minister was secretly planning to deprive which families of their titles and lands to gain prestige, his wife got up from the bed with her clothes on, rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, "My dear, what's the matter? I seem to have heard There was a rumbling sound."
"Haha! Don't worry, the floating city built by His Majesty has risen. Come and take a look, it's a rare spectacle that's rarely seen in a hundred years. I have an urge to move to live there." Hawke touched his graying hair, turned around and laughed at his sexy and beautiful wife.
Due to the relatively late marriage, his wife Juliet is only in her forties this year. In addition, the maintenance is good, the whole person exudes a mature charm, looks like about thirty years old, the relationship between the two has always been very good.
"What! Are you saying that the huge city built outside is flying?" Juliet jumped up from the bed, the sleepiness on her face disappeared, and she ran to her husband with bare feet and looked at the sky.
"My God! My God! It's so beautiful! The power of magic is so great! It can make such a huge thing fly!"
After seeing Olympus City, she instantly became extremely excited, speaking incoherently, clutching her clothes tightly with both hands. An unusual flush appeared on his face.
Hawk hugged his wife from behind, and said with emotion: "Yeah... I still can't believe that all this is true. The miraculous creation of the ancient magic civilization has been successfully copied by our great majesty. Do you know, I am really glad that I made the right choice back then. Ten years... In just ten years, he has achieved what others have been unable to do in hundreds of years..."
Watching Henry do everything he can and create miracles from nothing to now, his mood at the moment is very complicated. The past flashes in his mind like a slideshow, and all the ups and downs come to his mind.
In Hawke's eyes, the first half of his life was a failure, especially after the shipwreck, which can be described as poverty and desperation.
But after meeting Henry. It was a turn of events for him. First, he had a great adventure, not only discovering the Angome Island that only existed in legends. Moreover, he took advantage of the opportunity to occupy this place, and directly completed a gorgeous transformation. He grew from a captain who was ignored by no one to a high-ranking nobleman, and now he has become a prime minister who is under one person and above ten thousand people.
In Faerun Continent, there are absolutely very few people who can raise their class so much in their lifetime. If this is not considered a successful life, then the standard of success is too high.
As a person who has climbed from the bottom, Hawke is very clear about who gave him all this. Therefore, he intends to serve Henry until his death. Otherwise, according to his current age, he should have given up all his work and enjoyed his old age.
Juliet obviously understood her husband's thoughts very well, and she winked with a playful smile: "Honey, I understand what you want to say. Don't worry, I will always support your decision, and our majesty is so generous and fully deserves it Allegiance to all."
After speaking, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Hawke. Immediately afterwards, the two embraced each other, returned to the bed, and ignited the passion that had been cold for a long time.
The ascension of Olympus City brought too much shock, especially those temples and secret organizations lurking around Baldur's Gate. They didn't care about whether they would be exposed, and they sent information as quickly as possible.
Because the name of the Floating Void City in Faerun Continent is too resounding. It symbolizes the unrivaled power of Netheril civilization, whether it is a former ally or an endless enemy, it needs to reconsider its position. Otherwise, it is likely to be crushed instantly.
After all, no one knows whether Henry has really mastered the technology of mass-manufacturing floating cities. The original floating city is scary enough. If there is another one, then even the gods cannot stop his rise, and it is not impossible to conquer the entire continent. .
All of a sudden, the entire Baldur's Gate became busy, as if it was not the middle of the night, but broad daylight.
Many ordinary residents walked out of their homes and came to the street, talking excitedly about the behemoth hovering above their heads, and their excitement was beyond words. They were really very happy that the Kingdom of West Hartland was becoming more and more powerful, and some even took out wine and planned to hold celebrations all night long.
As for the major temples, meetings were held overnight to discuss how to reposition the relationship between theocracy and kingship. The Church of the Guardian God, which originally had the best relationship with Henry, wanted to go further and make this ultimate magical creation a great sea. Tom service.
But obviously, they made a wrong calculation. After Henry named the floating city Olympus, it was destined that no god would be allowed to enter. His goal is to build a city of pure mages. Researching the mysteries of magic and exploring the truth of the universe is what this city should do. Even the goddess of magic, the god of knowledge, the god of mages, the god of invention and creation should not even think about it. exception.
It can be said that this floating city is the base for Henry to spread materialism. He wants to train a group of fearless scientific researchers to assist him in re-completing his understanding of the world and the universe, and uncovering all unknown secrets, just like those on Earth. Like a super lab. (to be continued ~^~)
