Chapter 794: Suspicion
"Master, this is a revised drawing according to your instructions, the height of the main tower on the ground will be increased by five floors, and the underground will directly penetrate the deepest part of the foundation, and when the entire transmission device is laid, the energy will continue to extend to every corner of the city."
As soon as he reached the bottom of the tower, Henry saw a female mage in her early twenties, with a pure and sweet appearance, reporting to Borken on the progress of the project. She looked a little excited and a little nervous, although the light blue robe concealed her figure, but the double (peak) was still tall and straight, showing a distinctive charm.
It is a mixture of youth and innocence, which can make men can't help but have an urge to possess and ravage, especially her small movements of brushing her hair and standing on tiptoe add a childlike playfulness, making the whole person look like a spirit created by nature, rather than a human being dominated by (desire).
"Absolutely not normal...... Henry thought to himself with narrowed eyes.
With today's terrifying strength, no creature can escape his perception and prying eyes, not even the gods. But the woman in front of her body was wrapped in a thin layer of natural energy, isolating the outside world.
Borken apparently noticed Henry's arrival, and immediately returned the drawings and said, "Cynthia, you have done a good job, few girls can design and transform a mage tower alone at this age. I will finish the exterior first according to the drawings, and I will make other arrangements for the interior. ”
"Thank you for the compliment, and I will continue to work hard to prove my worth to everyone." The young girl named Cynthia smiled like a sunny smile, followed by a slight bow. All the way to trot and disappear into the tower. Her movements are so dexterous. Even the stride posture is full of different beauty.
After seeing Cynthia leave. The corners of Borken's mouth turned up slightly, and he said to Henry with a playful smile: "It's very easy to arouse a man's interest, isn't it?" I could even feel my heart beating faster as she approached, as if my whole soul was trying to get closer uncontrollably. ”
"It's unbelievable, what the hell is she?" Henry asked, frowning.
In the continent of Faeron, all knowledgeable scholars and mages know one thing, and that is people who usually display charisma. Either dragons, demons, demons, or some powerful creatures are disguised, or they hide some special bloodline, otherwise it would never have had such a huge impact on the people around them.
Obviously, the charm of this woman named Cynthia has far exceeded the limits of human beings, so she immediately became the target of suspicion.
"She claimed that her father was a ranger and her mother was a water goblin, a rather rare combination, and I tested her blood, and some of it did belong to the water goblin."
Borken knew what Henry wanted to know, so he just told him what he knew. In his opinion, Cynthia's origin was indeed suspicious. In particular, the timing of the appearance is too coincidental, and it happens to be the front and back feet with the core of the secret law. It has to be vigilant.
"Half-blood water elves?" Henry involuntarily raised his eyebrows. "And the rest of the bloodline is not human?"
As a legendary druid, he is no stranger to the water fairies, which are beautiful spirits created by nature, and according to some legends, it is indeed possible that they are attracted to powerful individuals, and they can't help but have sex with them, and then give birth to half-breed offspring.
However, this is rare, and most of the remaining half-breeds live away from the crowd and with their mothers, who are so beautiful to most sapient beings that a little weak-willed will fall into an inextricable obsession.
Borken looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one around, he quickly took out a small vial of blood from his sleeve, and shook his head with a wry smile: "It's not good, this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life, when the detection magic takes effect, except for the part of the water goblin that is revealed, the rest is completely unresponsive, like a cloud of muddy sewage, maybe you can try to use some more powerful spells." ”
"Undetectable blood? Interesting! It seems that the yellow finch that has been lurking around us has finally stopped it. Henry took the blood vial and shook it lightly, a sneer on his face.
Although there is no evidence yet, it is 90% possible that this Cynthia is a spy.
"No, it's still uncertain, there are too many mages who have taken refuge in the recent past, and many of them are even more explicit than her, and a few even hint that they can do anything for me." Speaking of this, Borken took a deep breath and sighed: "The attraction of Floating City to mages is far more than you imagined, and there is more than one target that needs to be investigated, otherwise I would have done it first." ”
Henry stretched out a finger meaningfully and shook it: "My friend, there is something you may have misunderstood. Whatever the true identity of this woman who calls herself Cynthia is, it is enough for me to think she is a spy. We are strictly neutral mages, not holy warriors who need evidence and law, so ......"
There is no doubt that he is ready to ignore the thirty-seven twenty-one, and directly take down the people first, and as for the rest, it is good to torture them slowly. Anyway, after tasting a whole set of tortures from body to soul, I'm afraid that even Tom, the god of loyalty and courage, can't withstand it.
"Isn't it a little too rough? Maybe you can go a more gentle way, like turning her into your (lover). You must know that women are usually very emotional, and once she falls in love with you, then maybe she can make Yin Soul City suffer a big loss. Borken gave another example as if he had come over.
"Haha! You think too highly of me. If Cynthia is really the ace of Netherworld, the Yellow Sparrow, then I don't think I can influence her. Neither Terramante nor Revalan are stupid people, and they won't send an undetermined spy to my side, so forget it. ”
After saying that, Henry smiled and shook his head. Maybe Borken is right, even the most powerful woman is a sensual animal, once the suppressed love bursts out. In an instant, it will engulf reason like a flood.
But as a cautious person. He doesn't like to put his victory on something that doesn't make sense. What's more, there is nothing more unstable than the so-called love between men and women, maybe the intimate lovers who can die for each other in the last second can draw a knife in the next second, and hate to stab each other directly.
Borken saw that Henry had made up his mind, so he could only sigh regretfully: "Okay, but don't be too heavy, if it's confirmed that it's not Cynthia, let her go quickly." I couldn't bear to see such a girl in pain and torture in a dungeon. ”
"Don't worry, my torture control is very measured and will never cause any form of disability. Make arrangements, let her go to the city tomorrow, it is inconvenient for my people to enter the area where the mage lives to arrest people. ”
Henry had never been a procrastinator, so as soon as he confirmed his target, he planned to wipe off the action to see if he could dig something out of the other person's mouth. He didn't care if this woman was innocent or not, as long as it was suspicious.
As the day of completion of the construction of the Floating City approaches, the war with the Shadow City is on the verge of breaking out. Neither Terramante nor Revaran could let the second floating city take off. Even if they don't return to the main plane early, they will send a group of mages to destroy it.
"Got it. I'll send Cynthia to the mage tower in the city early tomorrow morning to retrieve the secret core, and you can send someone to monitor her every move to see if there is anything suspicious. But be careful, she has a natural ability to charm, as long as the slightest loosening of her will, she will be confused in an instant. Borken finally gave a very stern warning.
"Understand, I'll send the best assassins to make sure nothing goes wrong. Also, for Floating City, I have a few things that need to be improved here. As he spoke, Henry pulled out a sketch from his pocket. Don't move the main body of the city, add a few platforms around you that can be freely controlled, I will be useful then. ”
Although he didn't quite understand the purpose of the flying platform, Borken nodded without hesitation: "No problem, it's not difficult, as long as it stays within the range of the energy coverage of the Floating City." Is there a requirement for the size of these platforms? ”
Henry touched his chin and thought about it for a few minutes, and quickly gave a specific number: "It's best not to be less than 160,000 square meters, and at least four, no need to cover magic protection, as long as the ground is flat and strong enough." Keep in mind that these things must be done after the Floating City's energy transmission system is laid, otherwise it will be too late. ”
These platforms were used by him to deliver troops when he planned to fight with the Netherworld City, and when the time came, throwing 100,000 monsters in a state of rage into the opponent's city could cause unparalleled destruction in an instant.
Of course, when it doesn't work, you can also transform it into an arcane garden, after all, each one is equivalent to the area of twenty football fields, and with the blessing of magic effects, the food produced is almost enough to feed tens of thousands of people.
"Okay, I'm going to send someone to start building, and it will be done in about a week or two, after all, it's rock and soil, and it's not difficult at all." After saying that, Borken took the sketch and turned around and walked directly in the direction of the construction site.
While magic can turn adobe into the hardest granite, it would have taken a lot of dirt that would have taken less than two weeks, most of which would have been spent digging in the dirt.
In order to provide enough earth for the huge floating city, a terrifying crater has been sent out fifteen kilometers outside the city of Baldur's Gate. Countless workers and golems work here all day long, transporting baskets of soil from below to the airship with a mechanical boom, which is then dumped at the designated location.
Glancing at the larger and larger crater, Borken couldn't help but have a faint smile on his face. When the construction of the floating castle is completed, it will be filled with water from the Oisa River, and finally form an artificial lake for raising freshwater fish, chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry, and a large amount of farmland will be opened up around it, forming a scenic lake and pasture, which must be very beautiful.
After so many years of getting along, he had to admit that Henry's vision for construction planning was indeed excellent, and all the plots of land that were set for development had produced economic benefits in a very short period of time, so it is no wonder that the entire West Coast was full of praise for his method of turning stones into gold.
Without wasting too much time, Borken went straight to the person in charge here, gave a new assignment without saying a word, and then returned to the construction site. As the commander-in-chief of the construction of the Floating City, he didn't plan to grind here, because the war with the Netherworld City was about to begin......
