Chapter 731 The Way of the Wild
“I don’t think we can convince each other in this aspect. How about we make a bet.” Gavin thought about it for a long time and finally came up with a compromise. .
"Bet? We will not use the forest as a bet." The Elf King of Silminster Forest, who was sitting opposite Gavin, said stubbornly.
Although Gavin had no way to convince the other party, his series of blessed natural identities were still somewhat effective. At least they prevented them from attacking from the beginning. After confirming that Gavin did not use force to resolve the dispute between them After understanding the question, they took the initiative to appear from the forest and invited him into their camp.
Although the other party calls himself the King of Elves, he is actually just the leader of a green elf tribe with less than a thousand people. His name is Benavides Artur. He is a man who looks no more than thirty years old. A young elf, but he has been active in Silminster Forest for more than two hundred years.
It was precisely because he arrived at their camp and saw their living environment clearly that Gavin gave up completely and stopped trying to persuade them with words.
The natural way advocated by this green elf tribe is not just a word, but integrated into their every word and deed. Let alone those stone buildings here, even the elf ones. There was no tree house, only a short and narrow animal skin tent that could only accommodate a few people to sleep in.
The necessities in daily life are all gifts from the forest. At best, it is called simplicity, but at worst, it is almost like a primitive tribe.
Even the clothes on his body are very sparse. Only natural materials such as animal skins and leaves are used to cover important parts of the body. The large areas of exposed dark brown skin on the body are covered with various totem tattoos.
Even Gavin, who is not particularly fond of totem tattoos, couldn’t help but praise them when he saw their totem tattoos that have been perfectly integrated into his daily life and body.
The green elf's totem tattoo painting is not just a simple art, but rises to the level of magic.
They have a type of magic called totem, which is drawn onto the body or items to create temporary or permanent spell effects.
So, the totem tattoos on their bodies are not just tattoos, but also have various magical effects.
The druids produced by wild elves are the best wild druids in Faerûn.
Not only can they transform into various animals and plants that ordinary druids can transform into, they can also break professional restrictions and transform into one or several powerful animals that are not within the scope of druid transformation. Species and Being - Transfiguration of Complete Forms.
Not only do they have the appearance and power of the transformed objects, but they also possess their innate supernatural and special abilities.
Take Gavin's super transformation as an example. He can imitate Zanoba's transformation into her flying dragon transformation, but it is just an appearance. There is no flying dragon toxin in his tail sting, and there is no way to do it. Use Acid Dragon Breath.
Unless he can use advanced metamorphosis, he can imitate it 100%, but that is a ninth-level psychic power, and Gavin's Psion needs to reach level 18 in order to use it.
The same is true for druids, and wild elf druids break this restriction, but only to the ones depicted by the totem tattoos on their bodies, like a unique specialization.
Many legends about druids who have been in a state of feral transformation for a long time, and eventually no longer return to human form, choosing to live with those animal groups, mostly come from wild elf druids.
As for the number of totem tattoos you have, in addition to your unique talent, it is mainly related to your career level. Once your career level rises, you can choose additional totem tattoos.
"The patriarch is too arbitrary. You didn't even listen to my bet. How could you conclude that I was betting on the forest?" Gavin responded unceremoniously.
A man without desires is strong. When he was sure that he could not get anything from Schilminster Forest, his attitude immediately became tough. I am not your father, why should I spoil you?
“Since it has nothing to do with the forest, why not come and listen.” Benavidez’s attitude softened slightly.
The extreme attitude of the wild elves mainly focuses on the utilization of forest resources. As long as the forest is not involved, they are relatively mild, at least in their attitude towards Gavin. Although they believe in Rillifane, However, the elven gods have a good relationship with the human natural gods, and they still have to respect Melikai.
In fact, he quite valued Gavin's visit, otherwise he would have driven him out of the forest with bows, arrows and sharp claws from the beginning.
“We use the trees of Schilminster Forest as our boundary. I restrain my people not to step into the forest. The patriarch restrains his people not to cause any harm or threat to my people outside the forest, including blood. The hobgoblins in Gap City and the kobolds in Colossus City
I will develop and transform the forest in my own way outside Silminster Forest. If we plant trees around it, 伱. We cannot put them into your forest. We will have absolute control. It is up to us to decide whether to continue to grow or cut down.
You continue to protect the forest in your own way. < br>
Let time prove whether my approach to balanced development is more beneficial to nature, or whether your unflexible approach to protection is correct. ”
Since there is no way to reach a cooperation agreement with the elves of Silminster Forest, Gavin can only do the next best thing and reach a friendly agreement acceptable to both parties. At least to ensure that the relationship will not deteriorate anymore and the relationship between the hobgoblins and the elves will be better. Racial hatred ruined his overall plan.
It is nothing more than abandoning some of the natural resources from Schilminster Forest.
In general, it will have little impact on the development of Blood Gap City and Colossus City. After all, Gavin is not planning to cut down trees on a large scale here.
Not only are we not prepared to do it here, we are not prepared to do it elsewhere either.
His eyes are mainly focused on the dark forests and trees that were previously contaminated by the roots of the gods. The use of this kind of wood will have to be approved by the more extreme naturalist protectors.
Because this is not only the process of cutting down trees, but also purifying nature. Only by completely removing the dark power here can new trees be planted and the forest heal itself.
The Dragon Oak Mother Tree is about to enter an offensive state and declare war on the dark forces in the Fairy Wilderness. In this process, it is easy to acquire a large amount of dark wood.
Benavidez's rigid face finally showed a smile and said: "Master Leader, you told me earlier, if you had made this point clear from the beginning, wouldn't things be much simpler, as long as the Guide Sir, make sure that your people will no longer enter the forest on a large scale without authorization and bring destruction and threats to this place. We will naturally follow the path of peace."
Although their attitude towards protecting the forest is tough and extreme, it is not yet. crazy.
At least they didn't jump out to intercept the conquerors' army when they were building a road along the outside of Schilminster Forest.
When aiming the bow and arrow at the goblins in Blood Gorge City, he exercised great restraint and did not aim the arrow at the core goblins in Blood Gorge City. Even when dealing with those goblin servants, he mainly drove them away and did not harm their lives. .
By the time they reacted, the number of hobgoblins and goblins in Blood Gap City had reached a terrifying number. Once an all-out war really broke out, their beloved forest would be the ultimate victim.
Their main intention is to attract the attention of the other party who can make decisions and clarify their attitude to reach an agreement.
“Then we follow the ancient law and set up stones as boundaries outside the Schilminster Forest so that everyone can clearly know where the boundaries are. I hope that next time there is a dispute, it will be negotiated first. Solve, not force.
Although the elves and. There is a long history of racial resentment between goblins, but it has not yet arisen between Silminster Forest and Blood Gap City. At this point, we have shown enough sincerity and restraint. If the cause next time is yours, we will We will reserve the right to fight back.”
Gavin also took the opportunity to express his attitude and warned the elves of Silminster Forest not to try to do whatever they wanted under the guise of protecting the forest. If they went too far, they would not be polite.
"As long as they can abide by today's agreement, something like this will never happen again." Benavidez promised, "Now that the official business is over, we can talk about private matters. I'm with you. , I felt the breath of the totem spirit. It should be Maura, the god of hunting, trying to escape from the totem spirit. If you can offer the Plunder Bear captured by Uthgar to Rillifen, I believe that the Lord of Leaves will give you a divine blessing.”
The Cult of Beast Worship is not a god system. , because it has no main god, and many of them are not even gods, but can only be regarded as quasi-gods or divine beings. But it does not prevent it from being watched by many people, because it belongs to primitive worship and has a very wide reputation among lycanthropes, primitives, and druids who advocate wild transformation.
As the spokesperson of the wild elves and the guardian of totem magic, Rillifan, the patron saint of wild elves, also has a peep at animal worship.
He successively fused the original spirit of Magnar, a bear, and Rika, the original spirit of tree people, in Youmulin. As his divine incarnation and appearance, he gained a certain popularity among the half-elves and wood elves there.
Of course he has a peep at the spirit of Gavin’s blue bear totem.
"Aren't you afraid of causing a conflict between the Lord of the Leaf and the Father of Battle?" Gavin took the opportunity to inquire about the information, and at the same time felt the preciousness of the blue bear totem spirit. This is something that even a medium-level god is worried about. baby.
“Failed to guard the blue bear and was corrupted and plundered by the God of Hunting. This is the responsibility of the Father of Battle. From that moment on, the blue bear is no longer exclusive to him. Now you take it away. Come back, the ownership is in your hands, you can dedicate it to anyone The related gods and fathers of battle have no right to hold him accountable."
Benavidez explained patiently, "You don't have to make a decision in a hurry, we can lead you to experience the Lord of Leaves. The way of the wild, he is the most suitable owner of the Blue Bear.”
"Okay." Gavin nodded and agreed without hesitation. Anyway, there is no harm in this matter.
I did not make any promises.
Although he knew that once he dedicated the blue bear to Rillifen, the Lord of Leaves, his relationship with the wild elves would be greatly improved, and he could take the opportunity to expand his influence.
But this is not in line with his original plan. Returning it to its original owner Uthgar is the right way. This will not only expand his influence in the Uthgar clan, but also influence the future. It pave the way for the layout of the human war pantheon, such as the common conspiracy of the predator Garagos.
Such sensitive goods can only be sold to one family, and it is impossible to get the benefits of both parties.
Compared to the extremely stubborn wild elves, Gavin prefers to bring the Uthgar barbarians into his sphere of influence first, because it is easier to do and has far more uses than the wild elves - even if they are No matter how you look at yourself, the effect will be limited to the forest. They will never easily follow you out of the forest to fight.
Not only them, but most of the elves as well.
The totem rituals of wild elves are similar to those of primitive people. They walk naked into a forest clearing full of totem runes and spend a night there, feeling the breath of nature and integrating with it. As one body, to further find the wild power in the body.
It is now autumn, and before the sun sets, the temperature in the dense forest has plummeted, and the cold air is everywhere. Even though Gavin has an amazing physique now, before he has the ability to be immune to cold, he still has to be exposed to the outside world. Effect of temperature.
It didn’t take long for the cold to penetrate into every bone of his body, gripping Gavin’s brain tightly, giving him the urge to give up. At the same time, he couldn’t help but wonder whether these green elves were here. Taking the opportunity to deliberately torture yourself?
But what good will this do to them?
Adversity not only did not panic Gavin, but made his thinking become sharper and clearer.
What the other party wants to plot is the totem spirit in his hand. Offending him will only push him away completely.
There must be a deep meaning that I haven't understood yet.
Since it is to explore one's own wild transformation ability, most of them want to put themselves into a transformation state. Perhaps in that state, they can taste the difference.
Wild Transformation Gavin does not.
He does have a blue bear totem transformation, which was given by the totem spirit blue bear during the process of enlightening the blood bear tree.
After activating this ability, Gavin roared involuntarily, and the bones all over his body creaked. Dense long blue hair quickly emerged from his body, and his head stretched forward. The mouth stretched out, and huge fangs grew out at a speed that he could clearly feel.
The muscles in both arms expanded and lengthened at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming as thick as thighs.
This is the first form of the blue bear totem transformation, half human and half bear. Generally speaking, the form of human and bear is mixed.
Then his body shape continued to expand until his whole body became furry, like an upright bear. When there were more people than humans, he entered the bear-man state. At this time, he had doubled in size and possessed Large size.
This is not the end. Then the waist and spine clicked. The body leaned forward, both palms fell to the ground. The body then expanded like a balloon, and soon grew into a man with a height of more than seven and a half meters. The giant beast looked like the predatory bear that Gavin had killed in the King's Forest before.
What the Blue Bear Totem transforms into is not an ordinary giant bear, but a ferocious blue bear with an extremely large size.
This totem transformation is not the only transformation ability that Gavin possesses. He also uses super transformation.
I can’t say that there are endless changes through super transformation. At least the number of changes exceeds Sun Monkey’s seventy-two transformations. He can directly imitate the changes of many objects - daily furniture items, common animals and plants, etc. .
But there is a limitation, that is, there is a limit to the size of the transformation. Small cannot exceed small, large cannot exceed large, and it can only simply imitate the appearance. As for those creatures that create toxins, dragon breath, and a series of supernatural and special abilities, there is nothing they can do. .
The Dire Blue Bear is the only super-large being that Gavin can transform into.
As for the Wu Liu Super Perfect Form, it is a combined skill. Wu Liu itself is a plant and does not feel any pain. Gavin's own body shape has not completely changed.
It felt more like controlling a giant machine. Gavin nicknamed it the Five Willow Mecha for no reason.
Whether it is super state transformation or blue bear totem transformation, although Gavin has used them before, he has only tried them lightly.
Not only because he is too busy and has no time to do in-depth research, but also because he now has too many and too complex abilities.
Why use the ability to transform when you can blast enemies with a hammer from War Reaver, or blow their heads away with Death Roar?
This is the first time that I have been in the blue bear totem transformation state for a long time, so I will take the opportunity to explore this aspect of my ability.
Although I am not a real Druid, the possibility of truly unlocking the wild transformation ability in the future is very slim.
But what I specialize in is the varietyr. The ability of super transformation is more powerful and perverted than the druid's wild transformation.
Wild transformation only gives the druid the ability to transform into animals and plants. The metamorphosis of the polymorph can transform everything in the world (theoretically).
The fourth-level super transformation is just a low-level version, and there is also a high-level version of the ninth-level advanced super transformation. That kind of transformation is not just about imitating the appearance, but also a series of supernatural and supernatural transformations of the other party. Special abilities, etc.
Except for the duration and the fact that the nature of the species remains unchanged, all other aspects are exactly the same as the transformed species.
If you want to find a powerful changer, learning to transform is not easy, but if you want to find a legendary druid to follow him to learn the way of wild transformation, and learn your own abilities in a roundabout way, it will be helpful to you now For Gavin, it is not a difficult task.
