Broad World

After listening to Hawke's report, Henry signaled the butler to start serving the dishes, and everyone started to eat dinner. Half an hour later, the dinner was over, and he said to the old captain: "Build and distribute the houses in the urban area as soon as possible, so that the city can start to operate on its own. The city wall can be slowly built after the city is completed. There was a time when a lighthouse was built in the port to guide passing ships."

Hawke replied while smoking his pipe: "Okay Earl, I will send someone to build a lighthouse on the mountain. Also, we need some livestock now. We need to buy some cattle, horses, sheep, chickens and ducks."

Henry nodded when he heard it. "If you don't remind me, I will forget. How about this, you can calculate the type and quantity you need to buy in a while, and tell Shikodi the required expenses, and she will allocate funds for you. When the time comes, you will personally lead all the ships to buy enough at once. Livestock can be used as a loan to be distributed to the people in the first place, so that they can pay off next year. Cats and dogs also need some, although there are no monsters on the island, but there are still a lot of wild animals and mice."

The old captain put away his pipe and stood up. "Then I'll take my leave first, and I'll have someone deliver the bills I'll pay later."

After watching Hawke leave, Shikodi said to her husband: "Are you sure you want to buy so many livestock and poultry at one time? This is not a small expense."

Henry smiled and explained to his wife: "These are all one-time expenses, and they will multiply on the island in the future. And you have complained about too many mice and no carriages when you go out."

Shikodi smiled mischievously. "Alright then! I'll go and calculate the accounts. I'm afraid there will be a lot of ships this time. It's best to bring some cargo so that the ships don't run empty as much as possible."

Henry scratched her nose. "I'll ask Kagan to make more armor and weapons. There are still about a thousand sets of armor in the warehouse that can be shipped and sold." After speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Robert suddenly stood up and walked to his side and whispered: "Master, I found that some strangers got into the sewer this afternoon. Do you need to go in and kill them tonight?"

Henry froze for a moment, then turned his head and asked softly, "Strangers? Did they come by boat?"

The young thief lowered his voice as much as possible and replied: "I sent someone to search the surrounding waters and found a small merchant ship parked eight nautical miles away, but after searching, I found that there was no one there. There are traces of them, they are likely to fly over."

After hearing the news, Henry immediately became alert. He felt that this matter had something to do with the Arcane Brotherhood. "Don't drive the boat into the port yet. I'll go to the sewer with you at midnight today. See what these people are doing." He turned and told his subordinates.

Robert bowed his head and said, "I'll keep an eye on them." Then he turned and left.

Henry came to the study and began to prepare for the night's battle. He can now be sure that there will be at least one mage among the opponents. Fortunately, they got into the sewer, otherwise, once a war broke out in the city, it is estimated that at least one street would be completely destroyed. Time passed slowly, and at eleven o'clock he stood up, left the study and walked to the balcony. After blessing a flight, he quickly flew to the location of Robert's underground guild. The young thief had been waiting here for a long time. He walked up to Henry and said, "Master, I have found out their location. These people are digging holes in the sewer."

Henry frowned. It seemed that these guys were planning to establish a stronghold here. "Don't worry about what they're going to do, now the two of us are going to get rid of them all."

Under the leadership of Robert, the two quickly passed through the sewer, and soon Henry heard someone talking in front of him. Both stopped and began to listen quietly.

"Ven, why don't you just contact the lord here directly? He bought so many slaves in Luskan, so he shouldn't refuse to cooperate with us, right?"

"You're an idiot, didn't you see that he freed all the slaves as civilians? If we get in touch rashly, we may expose the Brotherhood's plan, and the mentor will make our lives worse than death."

"Okay, you two, if you have time to chat there, why don't you hurry up and help dig the soil. Damn it! This shouldn't be the job of a mage. Why aren't we allowed to bring a golem over?"

"How big does Ryan need to dig this hole? We have now dug out a hall of tens of square meters."

"Keep digging, we need to build an underground labyrinth here that can hide at least five hundred people."

"My God! You kill me. Just a few people can't dig such a big project. Maybe we should go back and apply to bring some ratmen over. They are very good at digging holes."

"What a genius idea, but how are you going to bring them to the island? I'm afraid that as soon as these smelly guys appear, the lords here will find out. I don't want to face a powerful mage and his barbarians .Did you see the armor those barbarian patrols wear? I don't think even a single fireball spell would do much damage to them. Don't be fancy, dig hard for me now!"

"You said that we will be promoted when we complete the brotherhood's plan this time?"

"I don't know if it will be promoted or not, but the failure of the plan will definitely be severely punished. It's not like you haven't seen the way they deal with losers."

After listening for a while, Henry made sure that the members of the Arcane Brotherhood seemed to be building an underground base here. However, the purpose is not yet clear, it seems that he wants to establish some kind of connection with himself. He gestured to Robert and the two of them waited quietly. Soon a few mages with poor physical strength stopped digging, and after a while, they were estimated to have fallen asleep in the cave. After asking Henry for permission, Robert began to slowly approach the past with the silent steps of a thief.

A few minutes later, the young thief came back. He mouthed Henry and said, "Everyone inside is asleep. I have disarmed all the magic traps they set up just now." Henry nodded and made a gesture to signal the start of the action. . The two walked over quietly and found that a large place had been dug out here. All ten mages were sleeping soundly in their sleeping bags. Maybe digging the hole consumes too much energy, and they don't have any vigilance for the intruders.

Henry took out a bottle of hypnotic potion and signaled Robert to hold his breath, and then he opened the stopper and fell around the mages. The magic potion made these tired guys sleep even more deadly, and Robert took away all the items on the mage. After a few minutes, all the magic items were piled aside, and under Henry's signal, he began to make up for these people. In the end, Henry only left three people, and he was going to interrogate to see if he could dig out any information. After separating the three he had Robert wake one of them up. The mage seemed to be around 20 years old at a young age. When he opened his eyes, he found that his hands had been trapped with a special technique. There is also a dagger with blue light on the neck. Then his eyes began to scan around looking for a way out of trouble.

Henry walked up to him. "Don't read it. Most of your companions have been killed by my men, and I only left three captives including you. I hope you can answer my question honestly, and it is best not to lie. Otherwise Once I find out that you and the two people behind you don't match up, I might do something very bad to you. Now tell me who sent you here, what is the purpose, and are there other accomplices?"

"I'm just a little guy, I don't know anything. I'm only responsible for digging here." The mage replied with his head down.

Henry smiled when he heard this obvious lie, and he walked over and patted the mage on the face. "It seems that you don't believe what I said, Robert will teach him a lesson." Robert took out a steel needle and some thread from the tool bag at his waist, walked to the mage with a sneer and began to take off his clothes.

The mage began to feel that his situation had become very bad, and he shouted loudly: "Don't! I said! We were sent here by the Arcane Brotherhood to build a base. They heard that the lord here bought a large number of slaves and wanted to turn this place into a Your own ally." Robert stopped and looked at Henry waiting for instructions, and Henry shook his head. "Sorry, I'm a man of my word. You're too late."

After Robert got the order, he passed the thread through the steel needle and began to sew on the mage's chest. The mage screamed as the thick needle and thread pierced through the skin, muscles and ribs, and his voice woke the other two prisoners. The eyes of one of the female mages showed fear and panic. Soon Robert completed the sewing process on the entire chest, and the mage was already dripping with sweat and blood. While the young thief secured the mage to the ground, he passed a rope through the sewn thread and tied a knot. Then he walked away from a distance and suddenly pulled the rope, and the tortured mage's chest was all turned into pieces of meat. He let out a loud scream and passed out.

Henry walked over and looked at the minced meat, ribs and beating hearts all over the place. "Actually, you should pull the string a little later. Waiting is sometimes more frightening than blood."

Robert replied blankly: "Understood my master. At this moment, I am a little impatient to practice this kind of punishment for the first time."

Henry patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, we still have two experimental subjects. But look at their fearful eyes now, I believe the subsequent interrogation will go smoothly.

Then he turned his head and said to a man and a woman lying on the side: "Are you right?" The two with gagged mouths nodded desperately. In their hearts, I am afraid that Henry can already talk to the devil and the abyss in hell. The devil is equated. —————————————————————————————————
