Chapter 685 The Pearl of Cormyr
If the innate bears have no other way to obtain the ability to transform, they usually have the ability to transform into half-human, half-bear and bear, which makes it difficult for them to enter civilized society. Can only live alone in a place far away from other intelligent creatures.
It is very rare for a family of three like this to be all congenital lycanthropes. Most of them consist of a congenital lycanthrope, an acquired lycanthrope spouse, and several congenital lycanthrope children.
After all, the chance of encountering another innate lycanthrope of the same race in the wilderness is extremely low. If forced to do so, even a relatively kind-hearted bearman will not be able to join the humanoid race. Grab a bride or groom for yourself, stage a drama of beast and beauty, and pass on the family line for yourself.
The bear man's father's eyes became firm, and he roared with a thick guttural voice: "I'll come first, and you can eat after I'm sure there's no problem."
The bear mother shook her head and said: "We have to eat together. The other party has the bear soul totem and will not harm us."
"It's okay, no matter what happens, our family will be together." The bear father no longer hesitated, roared, and transformed directly into the state of a bear.
The mother bear and the baby bear followed suit.
What they transformed into was not a cave bear, but a much larger brown bear, more than four meters long.
With one mouthful, he swallowed the blood bear fruit.
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
After the Blood Bear Fruit entered their stomachs, they roared uncontrollably. The scene that happened to Xiong Da Xiong Er before happened again on them, and it was even more shocking.
Bear Big Bear II is a ferocious bear itself, but it has been strengthened on this basis. Although the brown bear transformed by the Bear Man family is not small in size, it is just an ordinary bear and has been directly strengthened to a greater extent. .
The body was stretched and stretched like crazy, and then it entered the ranks of super-large people. It soon exceeded the size of Bear Big Bear II. The size of Bear Man's father reached seven and a half meters, and the Bear Man's mother was even more exaggerated. Eight meters, even the baby Ursine who has not yet fully grown is about the same size as Big Bear II, about six meters tall.
This made Xiong Daxiong Er, who was originally a little arrogant, instantly droop his head. Even if they turned on their wisdom, their thoughts could not change for a while. They were still the same as the relatively simple beasts. In terms of combat effectiveness, the larger the body, the stronger the strength.
For Bear Big Bear II, when the body size changes to the maximum, it is the end, but for the Bear family, this is the beginning. Their size began to shrink little by little, first becoming a large half-human. Bear state, and then began to move towards a medium-sized humanoid, Mao The dense body hair began to shorten, and the sharp claws began to retract into the body...
Soon, the bear family all turned into human beings, but like the transformation of the half-moon pony, it was never too perfect. The pair of furry bear ears and short bear tail are particularly obvious.
Hello Xiong Wei!
All the humanoid creatures present could not help but sigh like this.
Not only the Bear Father and the Bear Mother, Xiong Wei's pecs were extremely exaggerated, but the same was true for the Bear Girl, which was far beyond what ordinary people could compare to.
Just like their previous changes in body shape, the tallest one is not the bear father, but the bear mother, who is nearly 2.5 meters tall. Not only is her chest huge, but her whole body muscles also completely crush the bodybuilding ladies.
The father of the bear is a little shorter, also 2.3 meters tall. He mainly grows horizontally and is several times thicker than the mother of the bear, so he looks extremely stocky.
The bear girl is at least 1.9 meters tall. Except for her breasts, which are more spectacular than ordinary people, she is more like a strong human woman. After all, she is not fully grown yet.
Because they are born beasts, their moral concepts are far from ordinary people. Even if they are naked, they do not feel too uncomfortable.
The Crown Princess glared at Gavin fiercely, as if she was dissatisfied with his behavior of eating other people's tofu for nothing. She directly pulled out a few sheets from the portable dimension cave and gave them to the bear family and three people: " You just have to settle for a while, and when I have time, I'll find someone to tailor a few sets of clothes for you. After all, humans are different from beasts in that they don't have natural fur to cover them."
"Thank you." The bear mother generously took the sheets over and wrapped her daughter first, before she was the one. This not-so-evasive attitude made the atmosphere less awkward. After all, the person involved didn't care about the others. Even less likely to show strange emotions.
Gavin said on the side: "Your Highness does not need to worry about this matter. If ordinary clothes are in their hands, they will be destroyed if they cannot withstand a transformation. Those who can change with them body, the magic clothes that are integrated into their bodies are the most suitable for them. On our side If you happen to be able to do a few, leave it to us.”
The reason why professionals with the ability to transform rarely wear heavy armor is that they will hinder transformation, unless they can be integrated into the body. Magic armor, otherwise armor made of natural materials that can be in tune with the body is more suitable.
It’s just that lycanthropes are not druids and do not have this ability.
"Thank you, Mr. Chief, but Mr. Chief has done so many things for us. I don't know how we should repay you?" It had to be the bear mother who said it. It was obvious that she was at the top of this bear family. Dominance.
Since they did not receive the enlightenment knowledge package like Xiong Daxiong Er, their emotional preference for Gavin was much lower. It was more about respect than the convergence of ideological camps.
"If you can settle down and protect this place, it will be the best reward for me. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter. You can leave at will." Gavin did not impose any mandatory requirements on the bear family. , for him, their main significance was to experiment with the efficacy of blood bearberries.
Those who join later will not get the opportunity in vain. Only by swearing allegiance or obtaining enough contribution points can you redeem the Blood Bear Fruit from him.
Don’t think that Blood Bear Fruit is only useful for bears. It looks very narrow, but it can’t stand up to the big world. This thing is not only useful for bear people, bears, and druids, I believe it is also useful for the Blue Bear Tribe. The blue bear admirers are also useful. In comparison, the number of blood bear berries is rarer, and of course they have to be sold at a high price.
"It is our greatest honor to be able to settle here." The bear mother readily agreed.
This is something they dream of. After all, everything here is tailor-made for them. Above is a palace composed of tree houses, and below are huge tree cave bear nests.
I believe that it won’t be long before this place becomes a holy land for bears across the continent, and many intelligent bears will take the initiative to make pilgrimages. Since they have gained the upper hand, of course they cannot let go so easily.
"You can choose the tree house here as you like." Gavin changed hands and put all the blood bears into the portable dimensional bag. "These bears will trouble you to help arrange shelter. Please tell them. , as long as they are willing to join my If the army serves, they will all have the opportunity to receive blood bear berries as a reward.”
Gavin does not need to be so polite to these ordinary bears. These are the seedlings of special mounts, handed over to these bear people. It is perfect to cultivate with intelligent bears.
"Please rest assured, leader, we will take good care of them." The bear mother assured, patting Xiong Wei's chest.
After arranging the bears properly, Gavin turned to apologize to the Crown Princess: "I just wanted to enlighten the two tree people here, but I didn't expect it would have a chain reaction. The whole thing was completely out of control. I believe those who are dominated by anger will The king's forest creatures must have caused a lot of damage to the residents here. I will go to the royal capital and personally apologize to your majesty for this matter, and I will compensate you and provide you with relevant documents. "
Although he did not have detailed data in his hands, as a person involved, his soul consciousness was intertwined with that natural emotion at the time, and he knew how wide its scope of influence was. , it is not difficult to guess the extent of the disaster. The death toll is probably no less than that of a small war. There are both guilty and innocent people who deserve it - judging from a human perspective.
Once it declines, then it becomes exhausted again.
Under Gavin's continuous suppression, the anger Princess Crown had when she first came has been dissipated a lot. She couldn't help but sigh and said: "I am also responsible for my poor supervision in this matter. I will tell my father the beginning of this matter in detail. In the end, I will bear the consequences together with you." "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness." Gavin thanked her sincerely. Tynarasta was far more responsible than he expected. She left a name in the history of the Kingdom of Cormyr with perfection. People are glorified and boasted, but worthy of the name.
"If there are no other matters, we will go to Susar immediately." The Crown Princess originally looked forward to leaving for a while so that she could have more opportunities to observe him, but now she wanted to send him to King Asan immediately.
Not only does this person have a brilliant business mind, but he is also the best at causing trouble. The violent beasts in the King's Forest are beyond her ability to handle. The other party obviously knows this, so she requests to meet Ya Queen Sang will discuss the aftermath in person.
"Most of it has been taken care of. There is only one small request. Can you add two more places to my general's escort team? I want to take Xiong Daxiong Er with me to Susar. I can only see it with my own eyes. Only by knowing them can we have a clearer understanding of the Blood Bear Fruit. "As evidence, it is false, but as a demonstration of force, it is true."
The perception of force by ordinary people is not much different from that of beasts. For them, the larger the size, the higher the value of force. After all, they measure it by their own combat effectiveness.
The general's escort team led by Gavin mainly started from this perspective. The actual combat power was secondary, because the possibility of them fighting directly was zero. Those who were weak had the Crown Princess with them. , no one dared to provoke them at all. Those who were powerful, such as when they dealt with the divine incarnation of Maura before, had no chance to take action.
The Crown Princess obviously guessed Gavin's true thoughts, but did not reveal it. She answered ambiguously: "I can only promise you that I can bring them to Susar City. Whether they can enter the city requires personal approval from my father. "
"That's enough." Gavin didn't expect to lead them into Susar City to show off their power. After all, there were mostly ordinary people there, and the Kingdom of Cormyr would definitely put safety first.
“Let’s go.” The Crown Princess waved her hand, and she and Gavin once again embarked on the road to the royal capital of Susair for an audience.
In order to avoid another incident, the Crown Princess brought an additional hundred Purple Dragon Knights with her this time. Fifty of them opened the way in front, and fifty of them stayed behind. They rumbled along the avenue towards the capital of Su. Sal.
Sousal.
The brightest pearl of the Kingdom of Cormyr, it is not only the financial and cultural center of the country, but also the largest city in the country, with a permanent population of 150,000 and a floating population of 50,000 at its peak.
It is an out-and-out port trading city. Due to the energetic and wise governance of King Asan, thieves guilds, smuggling groups and gang organizations have almost disappeared in this city. This is the most beautiful place in the entire Faerûn. One of the safest cities, it is the best place for legal transactions in the Sea of Fallen Stars - it is the most popular place for pirates. It is one of the cities that likes to invest, because their money is safe and secure here. Many retired pirates like to buy properties here to spend their old age. Their former pirate enemies do not dare to chase here easily. Their former enemies ( It has to be said that it is a great irony that the Cormyr Royal Navy) became their best guardian.
Both King Asan and the War Mages are aware of this matter and are closely monitoring these retired pirates. As long as they do not return to their old ways or violate the laws of the Kingdom of Cormyr, they will You won't touch them easily.
Because pirates who can live to retire are usually very successful and have accumulated a lot of wealth during their pirate career. When they settle in Susar, they will naturally bring their wealth here, in disguise. Contribute to the prosperity of this city.
It was Susar's fair and strict attitude that gave birth to the sin city of Ximen opposite Longhu. All transactions and crimes that could not be tolerated in this country came to this city. went, giving birth to a kind of abnormal prosperity.
Although Susaal has a large population, it does not feel extremely crowded. The street environment puts even Waterdeep, known as the largest city in Faerûn, to shame. The credit must naturally be attributed to the battle mages.
The mage group controlled by the state makes the use of magic in this imperial city unimaginable. Whether it is the streets or alleys, they are all paved with bricks and stones, and there are many street lights. Not ordinary torches, but rows and rows of everlasting flame street lamps.
This city also has a dedicated garbage delivery team. They collect and transport the entire city's garbage outside the city every day before dawn.
There is a relatively sound supervision system here, with security personnel patrolling the streets and alleys every day. If anyone is found to be violating the law, urinating or even littering, they will be severely punished. In the eyes of many outsiders, it is extremely incredible, but in the eyes of Susar people, they have become accustomed to it and regard it as a symbol of civilization, which distinguishes them from other urban people.
When it comes to the best of Susar, the first choice is the Purple Dragon Palace.
After a thousand years of expansion, the Purple Dragon Palace has become one of the largest palaces in Faerûn.
This is no longer a single palace, but a palace complex. There is even a huge royal garden in the city. Surrounding the Purple Dragon Palace are tall and narrow fortresses. It is the imperial city residence of the court ministers or princes and nobles of the Kingdom of Cormyr.
They occupy the entire North City area, so it is also called the Royal Court District or the Noble District. It has a special city wall to isolate it from other areas, and is heavily guarded. There is no way for idlers to get close.
The Obaisqil royal family is famous for its fairness and strictness, but it is not close to the people. Even King Yasan, who has a relatively easy-going temperament, only often disguises himself to go among the people or go to other cities and towns to have fun with the people. , but will not open the Purple Dragon Palace to ordinary people.
Because doing so will only deepen the gap between the two parties and cause unnecessary trouble.
Even the giant dragons would spy on the wealth here, and the splendor and beauty here would make even the gods jealous, let alone mortals. After visiting this place, it would be hard for them not to feel jealous, and it would be hard for them to control themselves. Hands and feet, don't steal the utensils here, even the tableware is priceless to them.
Although there are elements of exaggeration in this, it also fully reflects the extraordinaryness of the Purple Dragon Palace and its importance among ordinary people.
As soon as Gavin and the others left Luji Town and headed towards Susar, the princes and nobles of the entire Kingdom of Cormyr gathered in the royal meeting hall and quarreled for him.
“Gavin the Conqueror set out from Darauma with tens of thousands of ordinary Tethyr civilians. Along the way, he opened roads, built cities, and destroyed monster forces. It can be said that he was invincible and invincible until he reached the side of the goblins. During the famine, not only did the number of immigrants not suffer, but they increased by nearly three times. I am afraid that all of you here will be surprised by this great achievement. , no one dares to boast that Haikou has done this.
His rise has been unstoppable. We should not stop him, but go with the trend. Not only let him use Yandi, but it is best to reward Yandi. He, with the help of his troops, completely managed the entire rocky area
It can be said to be the best of both worlds. We don't need to invest too much troops here in the future, and we can also eliminate a major border trouble. And all we need to pay in the process is a paper reward. I'm afraid there is no business more profitable than this in the world. . ”
The name of the person who spoke was Maxer, who is the president of the Susar Mage Council. This is a mage association independent of the battle mage system. It is mainly used to manage those foreign mages or those who are unwilling to join. The mage of the battle mage
He has an outsider. The Guardian of Susar, he once killed four dragons attacking Susar with his own strength, so he got his name. It is said that his strength is only lower than that of the court mage Vengda Hast, and he is also a The senior legendary archmage
He is the only one who has great influence on the Kingdom of Cormyr. His participation in things is just like the difference between the Mage Council and the War Mage. Although he participates, he is not too active. In many things, there is no way to place heavy responsibility on him.
It is precisely because of his detached attitude. , making him an outlier in the royal chamber. Every time His speech did not arouse much resonance, but instead became a negative teaching material for tit-for-tat, because his starting point was often from the perspective that was most beneficial to the Kingdom of Cormyr, not to mention the interests of the nobles, even the Obaiszil royal family. It's not within the scope of his consideration.
Even if very few of his suggestions were adopted, he never tired of it, and this time was no exception. As soon as this suggestion was put forward, it was attacked by a group of people.
