Chapter 703 Special Benefits of Destroying the Root of the Gods
Gavin does not need to worry about guiding the residents of Myth Noel to log into the Dragon Oak Dreamland. They already have a mature operating model and there will be a dedicated people carry out.
The method of etherizing the body to log into the Dragon Oak Dreamland is currently limited to those who are in the Dragon Oak Mother Tree themselves, and those who do so through signal transfer stations such as the Rose Tower and the Tower of Misnoel's Rule. , the soul consciousness still logs in as before, and the body still remains in the material plane.
Right now, Dragon Oak Dreamland cannot achieve long-distance ether login. Even if it is possible to do so in the future, it will still be done with caution (only those who pass the assessment and are allowed to live permanently in the Dragon Oak mother tree can do so through this method) , not only to prevent the Dragon Oak Mother Tree from being overcrowded, but also to prevent enemies from infiltrating and attacking the Dragon Oak Mother Tree in this way.
If it can be realized, it will have a deeper meaning. As long as the Dragon Oak Mother Tree signal tower is covered, you can quickly travel through the Dragon Oak Dreamland, which is as convenient as a portal.
After the experiment was successful, Gavin did not immediately take back his consciousness. Instead, he focused his attention on the lowest level of the Tower of Domination, where the Root of the Gods was once sealed.
This place has become a nursery for woad tree people.
Nothing is absolute, including those evil gods.
Moando, the god of corruption and depravity, has an extremely bad reputation in Faerûn, especially among the natural races, because he has left a lot of damage to the forest that is difficult to erase. There seems to be such a place in every forest with a famous name. He and his followers take this as their glory and pleasure.
But in Gavin's hands, his beneficial side to nature was exploited to the extreme, especially the place where the roots of gods were imprisoned. He first changed it into a place of purification for dark trees, and now it is used as a place of purification for dark trees. The effect of the nursery field is not good, but it is extremely good, which is comparable to the magic field created by Gavin with his ability to adjust the weather.
Rows of neatly arranged pine saplings have grown here. In just three months, they have grown to the height of adults, and there are as many as 800 of them.
With such a safe nursery, it was difficult for the woad tree people not to be tempted. Even the die-hards were gradually persuaded to breed their own seeds here.
They are naturally activated plants. Their method of nurturing offspring combines the essence of animals and plants. They can produce seven or eight seeds at a time (depending on the life dice owned by the woad tree people). Although the number is small, they contain rich seeds. With the essence of the parent, as long as it is not destroyed by man-made damage, the germination rate is 100%, but it can only produce seeds once a year - for any species, breeding is an extremely energy-consuming thing.
After the woad tree men finished breeding, Gavin drove them all out.
The advantages and disadvantages of these woad tree people have been fully demonstrated.
They are the best natural sentries. They can squat in a tree for a month without eating or drinking, without getting tired or slacking off, and they protect the forest with all their responsibilities.
They are the best carpenters. They can not only turn the wood into what they want, but also use their innate ability to strengthen the wood to a certain extent, making it harder or harder. Fluffier.
The weapons and equipment manufactured by them have withstood the test of actual combat in the hands of the conquerors. They are not limited to floor-type chariots and side-carriages. Many vehicle-mounted crossbows are also made by them. In Ivanso , the conqueror army also installed another type of equipment on a large scale - threaded composite wooden shields.
This kind of wooden shield is the special skill of the woad tree people. The weapons they use are all derived from this. They have made multi-layer composite treatment on the wood, and the wooden surface is like a thread.
The wooden shield treated in this way has greatly improved its ability to resist slashing and puncture. Even flames have a certain degree of resistance. It is difficult to be ignited and has the characteristics of a wooden shield. The most important thing is that it is lightweight and cost-effective, so it is naturally convenient for large-scale installation.
It is an exaggeration to say that the conquerors all have one hand. At least more than 70% of them have their own threaded composite wooden shields. This is a good thing to save your life. There is no shame in setting up a shield first when encountering an enemy.
The shortcomings of the woad tree people are also very obvious. They are stubborn and extremely stubborn. Their heads are all made of elm wood. Literally, they cannot turn at all.
Especially when it comes to nature, there is basically no room for flexibility. Using those purified dark trees for large-scale equipment production is the limit they can accept. If the felled wood is brought to them, it will only It will make them sad and angry, so don't expect them to take action.
In the long-term war with the drow elves, this group of woad treants who have taken refuge with Gavin have eliminated most of them who are not flexible in their thinking. Many of the edges have been worn away, and they are more compromising.
The woad tree people in other forests are even more barbaric. They refuse unnatural creatures to enter the forest. War is a common thing. They are either forced into the depths of the forest or are exterminated by intelligent creatures. When Cut wood and burn it.
It will be difficult to change those who have grown up, but it will be much easier for these seedlings that have not yet opened their wisdom.
Originally Gavin wanted to use enlightenment, but found that it was not possible. Enlightenment can only be used on mature non-intelligent creatures. How can seedlings be enlightened if they have not even awakened their initial consciousness?
To encourage the growth of a seedling, you have to wait until it reaches a certain height.
Now we can only place our hopes on the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and acquired education.
Compared to acquired education, Gavin believes more in the subtle influence of innateness, which is a natural racial characteristic.
Under his conscious control, the rain of life began to fall in the nursery.
All the pine saplings began to sway with joy. Although they had not completed their transformation, the intensity of their initial consciousness was still higher than that of ordinary trees.
After these rains of life fell on the woad saplings, they were absorbed on the spot, and they began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This is not to encourage growth, but to promote it naturally, using the purest and most essential power of life.
Compared with the mother dragon oak tree, they are not the same size at all. Even a little bit leaked from the fingers is enough for them to benefit.
Soon the concentration of life force here increased to an extremely high level, and then became constant, ready to be maintained for a long time.
Of course, raising seedlings requires investment. Even if the training of these woad tree seedlings fails, Gavin will not lose money. He can send them to the mother dragon oak tree to serve as natural guards. They will definitely protect the dragon. The Mother Oak Tree spends all it has, and consumes very little, being able to blend in with the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.
After handling this matter smoothly, Gavin returned to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree again, smiled and said to Lord Virginia: "Myth Noel has been connected to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. If some people who can't adapt are diverted there, they can still enter the Dragon Oak Dreamland through their souls, which is definitely the best of both worlds."
"This is indeed a method, but it also has two flaws. Myth Noel is located in the material plane and is not attractive to the natives of the Fey Wilds. A large number of them are unwilling to go, and how to send them there is also a problem
The attention of the fey. It's a big problem. If they are allowed to travel thousands of kilometers, they may disappear. "The Virginia lord knows the characteristics of these felines very well.
"That's true." Gavin understood this deeply.
Females, as natural spirits, are material embodiments. Their abilities in many places are extreme and unique. If used properly, they can achieve twice the result with half the effort in some aspects. But they have more or less defects, which are often born with very extreme ones. They are inattentive, have broad interests, are free and loose, and are quite emotional. They are those ultra-small and micro-fey. Common problem.
You can use them as a support (and prepare multiple backup plans), but never use them as the main force, because no one knows when the chain will fall off. , even nine oxen cannot be pulled back.
Along the way, the conquerors' army never caused any major troubles, but small ones. Their human companions were often made dumbfounded by them, and they both loved and hated them.
It is also very difficult to train and transform them, because many things are innate, and if they are pushed too hard, they will become impatient and break the pot.
“When you went back to experiment, I also thought of a plan. Carefully choose our first attack target, occupy it directly, and use it as our rear area to place those who are not adapted to the migration of dragon oak mother trees. The new residence of the fey, because at that time, the differences will be the most serious. "The Virginia lord obviously has his own plan.
“It’s not easy to choose a place like this. It should be easy to defend and difficult to attack. There shouldn’t be too many enemies around so we don’t have to worry about the rear. It should also be easy to use so that we can train our troops. It’s best to have someone who can interact with the mother tree. The possibility of contact will facilitate these felines to continue to log in to the Dragon Oak Dreamland and provide remote support to the mother tree." Gavin listed several conditions and said, "Is it possible that Madam already has a suitable one. "Target?"
"There is indeed one." Virginia asked, "How much do you know about General Stelina's personal affairs?"
Gavin thought thoughtfully. He said: "Not many. I only know that she is a hybrid of eladrin and drow. She has a magic fruit called a golden apple in her hand. Could it be that the chosen target has something to do with her?"
"Yes." Lord Virginia nodded. "Her home is the Lost Land, called the Golden Apple Orchard. It is named after a golden apple tree carefully cultivated by her grandfather. This golden apple tree has magical powers. The magic power of the forest turns the forest where it is into an island, a demiplane. Golden apples have the magical power to increase charm and keep mortals young forever."
"The crime of holding a treasure" Gavin has basically imagined the next play, "Golden Apple Orchard. Attracting the prying eyes of evil forces and causing catastrophe, her home is now in ruins It fell into the hands of evil. I wonder which enemy is occupying this place?”
“The Green Dragon, a powerful green dragon, at least at the level of an ancient dragon, manipulated a group of drow elves with conspiracy. , their priestess used powerful magical tools to transform into a troubled eladrin, He sneaked into the Golden Apple Orchard, deceived the trust of Stelina's father, figured out the magic restrictions there, and let his master in. Stelina's father desperately sent her to me. "Weggie. Although Nia said it in an understatement, the story inside must be full of love, hatred and conspiracy.
"Since it is an island-like demiplane, there must be a strong teleportation restriction. Can the Dragon Oak Mother Tree enter?"
"Normally there is no way to enter, but we have Stelina, her eladrin noble status is not the same here, but in the golden apple orchard. She is the true successor of that territory. Successor, the golden apple in her hand is also a key to enter there. As long as she sends an invitation, the mother tree can enter it, but this invitation must be sent inside the golden apple orchard, so it will It is a very dangerous thing, and the green dragon that has turned it into its own lair will not sit idly by.”
"As long as you can enter, it will be easy. In a green dragon's lair, resisting the counterattack of an ancient green dragon is not the same difficulty as killing it. But as long as the dragon oak mother tree enters, it can form a crushing force. , slapping it to death will be a slap in the face. This matter must be carefully planned and a detailed battle plan made."
Gavin said, "This is exactly what I am going to say. Two things, Ms. Strategy has an absolute advantage in this aspect, I will select Several trustworthy exclusive priests are resident in Mystic Noel, and they are asked to establish a Dream War Academy in the Dragon Oak Dreamland to conduct war training for all members of the Mother Tree and increase their knowledge and awareness in this area. "< br>
Never question the professional abilities of those exclusive priests in their divine responsibilities. They not only possess relevant knowledge, they also possess relevant spells and law blessings, especially the latter, which enjoy a certain degree of priority. right.
"This matter can be prepared, but it cannot be rushed. It should be carried out in conjunction with the selection and elimination of personnel on the Dragon Oak Mother Tree." Virginia naturally also recognizes the necessity of this aspect, the Dragon Oak Mother Tree The residents on the island need professional war knowledge, and the army needs to be professionally reorganized. The original army structure of the Elephant alone can no longer meet the war needs of the Mother Tree.
"They are just auxiliary personnel, responsible for providing professional knowledge and professional guidance in war. Madam has the final say on how to proceed." Gavin's attitude towards Ms. Strategy's followers is as clear as ever, not only the mother tree This is true on this side, and the same is true on this side of the conqueror's army.
As long as there is no conflict, he does not mind promoting Ms. Strategy's beliefs, but the beliefs he promotes must serve him and not become his enemy.
“The Yaling task force led by Stelina needs to return. I need to recast the army. The first goal also requires Stelina’s full cooperation.”
“Wait a minute. Please tell General Sterina directly, I believe they will be the first ones from Mis Noel to log into Dragon Oak Dreamland." Gavin took out ten pieces of blood. He handed the bear fruit to Virginia and said, "This magic fruit can strengthen bear-related abilities. You can use it as appropriate."
Virginia Lord has a greater demand in this regard than Gavin. More, after all, these natural races are rich in druids, both for their own wild transformations and for their bear-like companions.
Lord Virginia was not polite and directly put away the blood bears. He turned around and took out two bundles of sticks tied together like dry firewood from his portable dimension hole.
Gavin, who is extremely sensitive to the scent of nature, would not foolishly treat them like sticks and dry firewood, because they exude a strong life force. Although the patterns on them are natural, they are so mysterious that you can tell without looking at them. The powerful magic effects were just a touch away, without even the need to use the identification technique. Their information naturally came to Gavin's mind.
Staff of Life.
Number of charges: 60 rounds (cannot be recharged)
One round can be consumed to cast the medical spell, and five rounds can be consumed to cast the resurrection spell.
This is a staff of life. The market price is between 150,000 and 200,000. It is also priceless, because the medical and resurrection techniques used by this staff are There is no need to consume spellcasting materials, and many spellcasters are willing to hoard this kind of staff as a strategic material.
For Gavin now, the value of a life staff is not particularly great. After all, he now has more than dozens of extraordinary spellcasters.
But the life staffs that Lord Virginia took out were in bundles, and it was roughly estimated that they were worth no less than a hundred, so their value was extraordinary. If converted into market price, it would be 20 million, all of which were used. With the resurrection technique, more than a thousand people can be resurrected at one time. This is the number of half an army, which can definitely influence the situation of a war.
The most important thing is the source of these life staffs.
“These life staffs are not manufactured, but grow out of the dragon oak mother tree!”
Gavin’s sentence was not a question, but an affirmative sentence, regarding the dragon oak tree. He would not mistake the scent of the mother tree.
"To be more precise, it was planted and shaped by the elf druids on the dragon oak mother tree, using the mother tree's own branches and strength as materials." Lord Virginia corrected.
"What is the growth period? What is the total output?" Gavin doesn't care whether the dragon oak mother tree spawned it by itself or carefully cultivated it. The most important thing is the total output. This kind of strategic No one can have too much supplies.
“This batch was quickly spawned by taking advantage of the upgrade of the mother tree. There are more than 300 branches in total. I gave you half of the 150 branches. There will not be such a large amount in the future. Without affecting the self-operation of the mother tree, one can be planted in up to ten days.
If the consumption of the mother tree is not taken into account, it can be increased to one day. One tree can produce continuously for up to one month. Unless there is additional energy replenishment, the mother tree will temporarily lose this ability. If it can absorb a large amount of additional power like purifying and absorbing the root of the gods, it will be able to carry out additional births. The specific reasons are It depends on the situation." The implication of Lord Virginia's words is obvious, this is a special trophy for destroying the root of the gods.
Sure enough, the gods are the greatest treasures in the world. In comparison, the dragons are far behind.
