Broad World

? "Your Majesty, if you don't mind, I would like to find a place where no one can talk to you alone."

　　 Bishop Eugene didn't know when he came to the front, and a sentence pulled Henry from his meditation back to reality.

　　 took a meaningful look at the slightly blessed middle-aged nobleman, Henry lowered his voice and asked: "Then, do you represent the noble goddess Shinworth at this moment, or the lord alliance led by Deepwater City?"

You must know that the brown dragon Ottagos had already clearly observed what this guy was doing along the way, and the other party didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding his identity, so he deliberately picked out the words to see what the Lords Alliance really did. What is the intention.

　　 "Is there any difference?". Eugene smiled, spread his hands and asked. "The League of Lords is to ensure that the interests of the orthodox nobles are not violated. The goddess is also the protector of the nobles, so the two do not conflict, but can be closely linked, rely on and cooperate with each other."

　　 Lords Alliance, also known as Lords Council, is a lawful and kind-hearted group initiated and led by Deepwater City. After so many years of development, it has successfully united the two famous northern cities of Silvermoon City and Neverwinter City. In addition, there are countless scattered towns, forming a collection of military, trade, magical powers, etc. A series of alliances, even the attitude towards monsters is similar.

　　 What is interesting is that the alliance treaty stipulates that, regardless of their status outside the alliance, members are equal when discussing internal affairs.

　　 sounds familiar, right?

　　 That's right. It is exactly the same as the UN Charter.

　　 But it is different from the United Nations, which is manipulated by several gangsters. The rule that the League of Lords is indeed the enforcer. It has not been broken since its establishment. It is for this reason that all towns that do not have much expansion ambitions have chosen to join in to resist the enemy together and share the profits brought by trade.

　　 Of course, this also means that those small towns with about a thousand people will also enjoy the same rights as Deepwater City, Silvermoon City, and Neverwinter City. Together, they can even force them to make concessions in some aspects.

　　 Since its establishment, the League of Lords has repeatedly defeated another famous city in the north. Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood’s ambitions for external expansion did not hesitate to attack the Sandalin Society and the Shadow Thief stronghold in Amn. It can be said that it is the most famous ruling alliance in the North. It is precisely because of their suppression that it is very wary. Rarely broke out.

　　 Henry thought for a few minutes, stood up and made a please gesture: "Let's talk on the balcony outside, there should be no one there."

　　 "Whatever the guest, I'm never picky about the place of conversation." Eugene stood up quietly, hiding the peculiar button under the collar by the way.

　　 The two quickly passed through the dense crowd in the hall, opened the door a few minutes later, and came to a remote balcony on the second floor.

　　 The night in December is very cold. The whistling north wind can blow a person to the heart in minutes, and there are small and small snowflakes in the sky. The chill instantly became heavier.

The icy wind made Eugene shrink his neck, tighten his cloak, and look around, until he confirmed that there was nothing around him, he let out his breath and cursed in a low voice: "This is damned. The ghost weather, now that you already know my identity, let me make a long story short. The Lords Alliance asked me to test if you have any intention to join. Don’t rush to refuse. We have got a piece of information. A group of people with unknown origins have already It's lurking at Baldur's Gate. If we agree, we can provide the exact location."

　　 "As far as I know, the intelligence sources of the Lords Alliance seem to come mainly from hired adventurers and spies, right? How do they determine that these people are coming for me?" Henry asked with a joking smile.

　　 Although the intelligence network of Baldur's Gate is not as tight as Angome Island, it is not easy to escape. He did not believe that the Lords Alliance could compare to his thieves’ guild in this respect, and the most important thing was that he did not intend to become a member of the Lords Alliance at all.

Imagine a king with a population of millions and a mayor with only a few hundred people sitting on an equal footing and discussing political and economic issues together. It sounds ridiculous. The vision and strength of the two sides are not on the same level. Such a thing. Only those paladins and believers of the **** of justice who have water in their heads can do it.

　　 Henry’s goal is to transform the surrounding countries into vassals through trade, and he can’t go with the lords alliance at all. Moreover, he has no time to wrestle with the rulers of those small towns. It is better to conduct some magical research in that time.

Eugene did not see the perfunctory expression in Henry’s eyes, and explained to himself: “These people were first discovered in Locke Town in the east of Deepwater City. According to the local spy’s report, they passed through the Ash Peak Mountain Range from wearing Dressing up and dressing up inferred that it is likely to be walking down the black road through the Ennook Desert, without making any stops along the way, until after entering the Baldur’s Gate, the disguise changed and lurked."

Speaking of this, he took out a letter from his arms: "Obviously, this squad is for you, and the closer it is to the city, the more cautious it is, as if for fear of disturbing someone. This letter records. After checking their activities within half a month, as long as you nod your head and agree to join the Alliance of Lords, you can immediately get the information inside."

　　 "Enook Desert?!" Henry's face instantly became a little ugly.

　　 There is no doubt that there is only one way for the guy who can come out of the Ennook Desert and target himself, and that is the ghost city that is about to return. Only this place where most of the city is full of lost ladies believers will make such a big fight.

　　 But the most troublesome thing now is that he has no idea what the purpose of this team is, whether it is to prepare for the upcoming battle for the Throne of Killing, or has ulterior motives. Who is in charge of this operation?

　　 You must know that it is a floating city that has completely preserved most of the heritage of the Netheril era. A legendary mage alone can pull out a dozen, and Terramant Tanshur is not comparable to an ordinary legendary mage. Although he did not stand out in that glorious era. Even among the Great Arcanists, it can only be regarded as above average. But now it is enough to crush most opponents.

the most important is. God knows if this old guy will have friendship with the terrifying spellcasters left over from the era of Netheril, such as Lavok, Ovo, and Iolum. Once they unite again, even the gods will be terrified and killed. One or two gods are not a problem at all for them.

　　 Of course, besides that, there is another character who makes Henry very uneasy, that is, the "Earth Prophet" Asindo, who is hidden in the depths of the great desert.

　　 Perhaps most mages, scholars, and even gods do not remember his name, and some people think that he has completely disappeared with the fall of Netheril civilization.

　　 But Henry knew very well that the male Saruk witch was still alive. Moreover, he possesses the most powerful spellcasting ability on the main plane. Compared with himself, it is like the difference between an adult and a child. Even the goddess of magic, Midnight, does not necessarily understand the nature of magic better than him.

　　 Take a look at this long list of titles that have disappeared in the long river of history!

　　 The opener of Netheril civilization!

　　The holder of the Netheril scroll!

　　Sarukh witch guardian of the capital Orem!

　　 He taught humans how to learn and use magic. He solved countless problems in the early days of Netheril. He personally warned the crazy plan of the goddess of magic Karthus. He witnessed the decline and demise of the great magical civilization.

In short, this is not only the main plane, but it may also be the most difficult caster in the entire multiverse. Even at the same time, it is not inferior to horrible creatures such as Guanglong. It is said that there is only a team of six professional levels above fifty. The deity can defeat or kill it.

　　Henry even suspected that the discovery and theft of the Netheril scroll was planned by the "earth prophet" Asindo, with the goal of destroying the enemy of the Saruk witchcraft-Fehlin Mokui.

　　 But unfortunately, his plan ultimately failed. The Netheril couldn't stop this energy-absorbing monster, and in the end, it was the Spirit of Saron who invented the method of imprisoning them. This made Faerun Continent escaped a disaster, otherwise the entire world would be as dead as the Aenook Desert.

　　 "I hope it won't be the Earth Prophet Azindo..." Henry took a deep breath and muttered to himself. He is not yet ready to face such a terrible enemy, and if he can, he will never be an enemy of such a powerful spellcaster.

　　 "What were you talking about? Did you guess the identity of this group?" Eugene asked very curiously.

　　 Henry turned his head and nodded with a meaningful smile: "Yes, I guessed their identity, and I almost knew what the purpose was. If the Lords Alliance needs it, we can exchange information with each other."

　　 Eugene was taken aback for a moment, then a surprised expression appeared on his face: "So you don't plan to join the League of Lords?"

"Yes, some systems of the alliance are not in the interests of the kingdom, so I can only say sorry. But cooperation is still okay, especially in terms of protecting business travel and maintaining regional peace, so that all residents can live and work in peace." Henry Speaking of his own reasons in a high-sounding manner, he also gave the other party an easy step down.

　　 "Well, I will pass on these words to the Alliance." Bishop Eugene, who was so sophisticated about humanity, owed a little, and did not show any dissatisfaction because of his refusal.

　　 It is not the first time that he has received similar rejections, especially those powerful rulers who rarely agree to join the Alliance of Lords~www.ltnovel.com~ The most obvious example is the Kingdom of Cormyr. The Alliance had sent envoys five times to persuade the royal family to join in, but they were rejected without exception, because they couldn't bear that they were on the same level as a small town.

　　 "Then what about the information exchange I just mentioned? Don't the lords want to know the identities of these people? I promise the answer will not disappoint you." Henry pretended to be mysterious.

　　Actually, he just wanted to know what the squad that came from the ghost city had done all the way, and had contacted those people, only by obtaining this information can he analyze the opponent's purpose and respond accordingly.

　　 No matter what form of struggle, intelligence always comes first, especially this kind of secret confrontation. Who can grasp the enemy's movements faster and more timely, who can take the initiative, and have more hope of winning the final victory.
