Chapter 835: Giving up the small to seek the big
Giving the dragon acorn tree to the Leatherman Kingdom may not gain any power of faith, but it can generate the power of concept, which is generated by the dragon oak mother tree. As long as the totem dream exists, it will provide the dragon oak mother tree with a huge amount of dream divine power.
As long as it still exists, even if there is a problem with the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and the Dragon Oak Dreamland, the Dragon Oak Mother Tree will not be completely destroyed, and there will still be a chance to make a comeback.
The main function of the tree spirit dream in A Luo Shi of the tree spirit kingdom is the same.
It's just a dreamland of tree spirits. It's a standard creation from scratch. Even with Gavin's spare no effort to help, the progress of creation is very slow, and it's not fully formed yet.
But the Leatherman Kingdom is different. There is already the embryonic form of a real dream here. There are totem lands everywhere, and there are scattered totem spirits everywhere. It just lacks a key point like the dragon acorn tree to connect them. String it all together.
Once you start doing it, I believe that the ability that will burst out will be step-by-step, reaching an unprecedented height in a very short period of time, and even surpassing Dragon Oak Dreamland.
After all, the Dragon Oak Dreamland only lasts for less than a year, while the Leatherman Kingdom has accumulated more than a thousand years of experience. The two backgrounds are not on the same level at all.
As for whether the Leatherman Kingdom will take the opportunity to master the power of dreams and activate the dream priesthood.
If they rely on their own power to create a totem dream, he must be worried, because the dream sparks are born along with it, and the dream divinity will naturally arise.
But if it was established based on the dragon acorn tree, he wouldn't need to worry.
Because there is a causal relationship between the two parties, even if the Dragon Oak Mother Tree completely gives up control of the Dragon Acorn Tree, the Dragon Acorn Tree is born from the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. This is an established fact, even the gods There is no way to change it.
As long as this is true, the dream divinity and power born in this process will be owned by the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, not the Dragon Acorn Tree itself.
This only refers to conceptual power.
Those Leathermans developed a belief in the dragon acorn tree during this process, and the Leatherman witch found a way to forcibly lock it and use it for her own use. That was another story. Said.
This falls into the category of stealing divine power.
At that time, the people will not take action against the officials. After all, the world is so big, and the faith can be collected and placed elsewhere, not least the Leatherman Kingdom.
This is the idea of the Faerun gods represented by the Forest Goddess.
"Give us this dream tree?"
The nine Leatherman witches all gasped. They did not expect Gavin to do such a thing. An unexpected decision.
Even a fool can see that the tree is different. It has broken away from the mundane world and entered the category of a sacred tree.
Even for a natural balancer, such a subtree is probably not something that can be obtained just by thinking about it.
After all, this was created by the forest lady who gathered the power of the entire Faerûn forest. If the natural balancer does not accomplish the same feat as the destruction of the Lord of Blight, even the forest goddess will not be able to mobilize it again. With so much forest power, after all, the gods also have heavy shackles on them.
But in an instant, they understood Gavin’s wishful thinking.
But this is an out-and-out conspiracy. As long as they covet the role of the dragon acorn tree and the divine power of the dream world, they must give it to each other.
The nine Leatherman Witch Councilors began to communicate rapidly and secretly again.
“He is right. Our biggest problem is that our totem land is built on countless totems. It is too scattered and often there is no way to join forces. If it is enough to deal with ordinary enemies, To deal with those powerful enemies, it is difficult to use dreams to connect all the totem lands. It is indeed It's a very good way."
"Now that we have found a way, we will build it ourselves. If they can build the Dragon Oak Dreamland, we can build the Totem Dreamland with millions of totem spirits. It just takes more time. , it is better to spend more energy than to be controlled by others. Even if they are separated again, this tree will be balanced by nature. The fact that we are born will not change.”
“It is simple to say, but when it comes to actually doing it, it will be extremely difficult. After all, we lack understanding of the real dream. It may take a year and a half. , we succeeded, maybe we will not be able to achieve it in our lifetime, there are too many uncertain factors. ”
"My suggestion is to accept it first and try to use it as the core to construct our dream. After we understand it thoroughly, we can start over again and use our own strength to create a new dream of our own. After all, it is really The power is in our own hands, we can do whatever we want.”
"It makes sense, I think this method is feasible."
"I agree."
"I agree too."
"I object, this method is still too much Adventure, after all, involves divine power, and it is also a dreamland known for its unpredictable changes. It is inseparable from illusions and is the easiest to manipulate. Manipulating and confusing people’s minds, how can we be sure that the other party has completely given up control of the sub-tree?”
“Once people become greedy, they will be easily deceived by the method you mentioned? , is taking shortcuts, it is easy to fall into the enemy's trap and fall into the abyss of eternal destruction.”
"Speaking of powerful existences, we are not completely without them. The Shui Ling Sisters were born based on the essence of the water spirits of Lake Assen and the beliefs of countless aquatic and terrestrial creatures. If she leads the aquatic spirits of Lake Assen, she may be able to create a new world. Our own totem dream, instead of being controlled by others.”
“But in this way, we are back to the original state. The first question is, what should we do to create a dream? With what is already available, we can do it in parallel. "
"Dreams are not necessary for us, so why should we worry? You can figure it out slowly.”
“It was not necessary before, because no one controlled the dream priesthood, but now it is natural. The Balancer has been activated, and our ability to control this aspect will become stronger and stronger. Our totem lands are just small dreams. By then, we will be completely undefended in this aspect. We might as well Take advantage of the fact that the other party has just entered this area, intervene and take the initiative in our own hands."
"Sisters, don't be presumptuous. I belittle myself, not to mention that the other party has not yet become a god, even if he really becomes a weak divine power and controls the dream priesthood, if we join forces, we will not be without the power to resist, let alone they have just dabbled in this field. It has not yet been truly enthroned. As long as we are cautious enough and control it in our own hands, there will be no problem.”
"I still think this matter is too risky and must be considered carefully."
"If it is transformed, it will also be very beneficial to the next war. It will be easier for us to mobilize all the totem spirit power to suppress that As the son of the God of Killing, don’t forget that the other side is best at killing, and all violent deaths are within its control. Once a war breaks out on a large scale, soldiers from both sides will A large number of soldiers died, and his strength is likely to increase. With our combined strength alone, it will be difficult to suppress him, and the casualties will be difficult to control."
"I suggest..."
"I think..."
This time there are great differences within the Leatherman Witch Council. Some support accepting Gavin's proposal to take over the Dragon Acorn Tree and transform it.
This is represented by the water spirit witch. They believe that the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages. With it, a new path will emerge for the Leatherman Kingdom, which will not only take their strength to a higher level, but also become a piece of equipment in their hands. A powerful weapon.
The Akabane Witches and the others are completely opposed to it, believing that this matter involves a field they are not good at, and there are too many variables, especially when it involves divine power. If you are not careful, you will easily suffer big losses. If it has a fatal impact on the foundation of the Leatherman Kingdom, then the gain outweighs the loss.
Both sides had good reasons. They both believed that their decision was the most beneficial to the Leatherman Kingdom and were unwilling to change their minds easily. The two sides were in a stalemate for a while.
Gavin, who was waiting aside, saw no response from these witches, so he knew that they were wary of this matter, thinking that there might be a trap in it, and did not dare to accept it easily.
This is human nature. If it were me, I would have to mutter.
After thinking about it for a while, Gavin suggested again: "If you are worried, you can allocate a small part of your strength and give it a try. After you are sure that there is no problem, it will not be too late to inject power on a large scale.
If it really happens If there is a problem, I am willing to bear all corresponding culpability.”
Gavin’s words were not only to prove his innocence, but also to further show that he had no other plans. They also showed his confidence in the divine dragon acorn tree. As long as he personally senses its ability, those who The Leatherman witches who hold objections may also change their minds.
“Commander Gavin’s words are not unreasonable. Everything now is based on our guesses. Maybe he really just has good intentions. It’s us who have made things complicated. Even this tree The dream tree has no effect on us. The image is so big, you need to see it with your own eyes to know the specific situation."
"I agree to send someone to conduct an on-site investigation. We will make a decision after we determine the true effect of the dream." "Me too. Agree to this proposal.”
“I know the Totem Land best, and I am willing to go there in person.”
“I am also willing to go in person.”
“Then this matter is settled. "
The Leatherman witches also felt that remaining in such a stalemate was not the solution to the problem, so they could only take a step back and agreed to Gavin's compromise. From the support and opposition groups, they Each of them elected a witch as a representative, namely Shui Ling Witch and Akabane Witch.
Among them, the water spirit witch is the leader, because her identity is extremely special. She is not an ordinary witch, or even an ordinary fey, but a primitive fey. She is the fusion of the water essence of Asen Lake and the totem way of the Leatherman Kingdom. The one who was born was the oldest, most powerful, and most low-key and mysterious among them.
Many people who don’t know much about the Kingdom of Leatherman have always thought that there are only eight witch councilors in the Kingdom of Leatherman and are unaware of her existence.
Usually, she lives in Lake Asen, forming her own system, and rarely participates in the various parliamentary decisions of the Leatherman Kingdom.
On the one hand, it is caused by the natural isolation between water and land.
On the other hand, it is determined by the racial nature of elves that they like silence and do not like movement. Even those elves who live in the dragon oak mother tree will leave the mother tree from time to time and wander into the wilderness or After living alone for a period of time, racial nature is the hardest to change. It is innate and integrated into the soul.
This time, the Tukan people have invaded the country, and the Leatherman Kingdom is in danger of annihilation. Asen Lake has become the most important line of defense for the Leatherman Kingdom, forcing her to show her face.
She is most interested in the dragon acorn tree, because she had heard of the name of the dragon oak mother tree long before Gavin came to the desperate eastern region. She is also a frequent visitor to the Fairy Wilderness. Asen The greatest function of the portal under the lake is not to teleport in Faerûn, but to be able to go directly to the Fairy Wilderness.
If it were not for the restriction of her identity, she could not easily leave Asen Lake for a long time. She would have long taken the initiative to visit Dragon Oak Dreamland, and wanted to go there to learn from the experience and see if it could be used in Asen Lake.
Unexpectedly, not only did the creator of the Dragon Oak Dream come to the desperate Eastern Territory, but he also allowed the real dream to come to him and started a killing spree in the Lesser Forest, eradicating the cancer that had been entrenched in this forest for countless years. Eradicated forcefully.
Now the dream has been brought directly to the Leatherman Kingdom and Lake Asen.
If it were based on her personal opinion, why would she have so many concerns? She would just accept it openly.
The dragon acorn tree was created by the purest force of nature. It is in the same line as them, the spirits of nature, and it can only be good for them, not bad.
But as a member of the Leatherman Witch Council, she has to respect the opinions of other council members. As a senior witch council member, she knows very well that personal wishes and national interests sometimes exist. If there are conflicts, then one has to give up personal wishes and put national interests first.
Because this is the foundation for ensuring the long-term peace and stability of Asen Lake. If there were no Leatherman Kingdom, the evil red-robed mages of Sayre would directly extend their evil hands into Asen Lake and trample all living creatures here wantonly.
So, when following Gavin into the real dream of the dragon acorn tree, the water spirit witch didn't seem to have any psychological burden.
In contrast, the Akabane Witch looked worried, looking at everything around her vigilantly, as if she wanted to find traps and problems.
Her attitude is not directed at Gavin. She highly recognizes the young commander's character and ability. She is sensitive to the gods and rejects them. As a native Leatherman As a witch, the education she received from childhood was to be wary of the intrusion of the gods' beliefs and to protect their totem land.
She will instinctively reject anything related to God.
When the forest lady personally descended into the divine incarnation to endorse the natural balancer, she naturally smelled a strong sense of conspiracy.
When the two witches followed Gavin into the dreamland of the Dragon Acorn Tree, the place was not empty, but in a huge battlefield.
They seemed to have entered a dream, and they seemed not to move where they were.
Because there is no difference between the scene here and reality.
The Chariot Corps and the Leatherman Army were facing each other two kilometers apart.
There is a difference.
At least there is a difference in the eyes of the two witches. The dragon acorn tree that grew into a towering ancient tree overnight did not appear here.
The reason why real dreams are called real dreams is because all the laws here are infinitely close to reality.
Many uninformed people mistake dreams for reality.
It is estimated that this is the case for many tank legionnaires and Leathermen, because everything around them has not changed significantly.
But after entering the dreamland, the two witches who cast their true eyes on themselves saw more different scenes.
Here, reality and fiction are completely intertwined.
The soldiers, animals and totem spirits on both sides are real, at least the souls are, but a series of entities such as bodies, equipment, chariots and cargo are simulated in dreams.
Gavin was not stingy about his experience in dreams and taught him everything: "Real dreams are not as real as possible, because this will cause creatures to be unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.
< br>Especially for daily dreams, clear signs must be set to distinguish reality from dreams. For example, there is no sun in dreams, or there are two suns, which can make everything here appear more dreamy. , more cartoonish, specifically what kind of state it is, completely It depends on the creator of the dream.
But I had previously planned to create a war training dream. This dream should be as close to reality as possible, not only to 100% replicate their five senses in reality, but also to ensure the physical body. The feeling when injured is the same as in reality, including the feeling of death.
Only in this way can they accumulate combat experience to the greatest extent, fear death, and better protect themselves on the battlefield.
Otherwise, not only will it not have a training effect, but it will create misunderstandings for them. When they are actually injured, they will have wrong perceptions and even ignore life and death. "
"Educated. "The water spirit witch praised her well, "You are worthy of being the creator of the Dragon Oak Dreamland. Her knowledge of dreams is indeed beyond the reach of human beings. It's just that you mentioned before that the totem spirit transforms and takes over the dreamland. How to proceed? "
What she cares about most now is to create her own dream.
"A stable dream is based on the support of countless soul consciousnesses. When the soul consciousness at the bottom of this dream, When all are replaced by your totem spirits, this dream will be under your control.
At this point, totem spirits have an advantage that other creatures do not have. They are spirits themselves and can travel freely between reality and dreams.
In fact, your kingdom itself already has a common dream form, but it lacks a powerful being to unite it.
Master Shui Ling, you should have this ability, but once you choose yourself as the core of the dream, you will be bound by the dream. Once you choose to leave the dream, it means you have woken up from the dream, and the entire dream will collapse. , return to the original state. ”
Gavin was sincere and kindly helped the Water Spirit Witch analyze it.
He always believed in the truth of sincerity for sincerity.
Especially with these powerful people. Witches are playing tricks and will only make things worse.
