Belief is related to the strength of those involved.
The faith provided by a Haslam witch and an ordinary person are not on the same level at all.
This is also the reason why the gods pay more attention to those powerful believers.
The casting of Gavin’s road statue directly became the tipping point.
Strictly speaking, this is the first road statue that an outsider erected for Gai Wen. In the past, Ga Wen had erected it for himself, so the symbolic meaning is naturally more unique.
When the two road statues were completed at the same time, their attributes immediately appeared in front of Gavin.
The two road statues have just opened, and they have the ability of giant statues.
In addition, they also unlock their own exclusive abilities.
Twin Beacons (Special Ability) - These two statues have become beacons between the city of Moshantir and the dream demiplane, which will closely connect the two. Moshantir City The difficulty for residents to enter the dreamland is greatly reduced. It itself will become a door between the two. People who pass through it will automatically gain the ability to etherize and enter the dreamland as a physical entity, and vice versa.
"It's successful. The effect is better than we imagined. We have the most important support for the Dreamland Rail Car." Gavin said happily.
This is exactly the ability they want, to etherify the people who pass through here on a large scale.
Without saying a word, he directly transferred the control of the two statues to Totem Dreamland. Since those Haslam witches had already achieved this level, he would naturally return the favor.
“Okay, okay, okay, Commander, the power of the road is more magical than we imagined. With this ability, the construction of our demiplane and dreamland will be easier.”
“The giant road statue has such a unique Ability, the strongest super giant road statue, how powerful should it be?”
“The abilities of the gods are too powerful and too convenient in their own fields. Shouldn’t we also pay attention to this? Has there been any development? ”
"Our development in this area has already begun, and the totem demiplane will be the focus of our future development."
"When we build next, we must consider the construction of road statues."
“Our next step is to make the tribesmen believe that the Commander is good at roads. In this way, we can create the road statue ourselves without the commander’s intervention.”
“This is a win-win situation.”
After reading the properties of the road statue. Finally, the Leatherman witches made a clean decision and prepared to integrate it into the development of the totem demiplane.
Not only because the convenience it provides is so strong, but also because Gavin is also a good person and is willing to share his rights, just like he shared the totem dream, giving them enough autonomy, so they naturally did not refuse. reason.
As for whether Gavin gained the divinity of the road and became stronger in this process.
There is no loss to them at all. After all, they don't need it and have no way to reap these benefits, so why not be a favor.
Gavin can clearly feel that the statues of road gods that belong to him are springing up in the totem dreamland, and they are all different.
Located in the Fire Totem Dreamland is a lava statue.
Located in the water totem dreamland is a sand statue.
Located in the air totem dreamland is a statue full of holes and surrounded by a large number of whistling whirlwinds.
The one located in the totem dreamland itself is also a wooden one.
The power of the road among them is much less, but this is just the beginning. I believe that as the totem dream rushes towards the totem demiplane, these road statues begin to show their unique functions.
Those Leathermen began to believe in Gavin's ability in terms of roads. He will continue to have the divine power of roads in his account. When the divine power of roads in these statues is filled, there will even be some roads. Divine power gathered.
The most important thing is that Gavin has now touched the shadow of conceptual divinity.
As long as the dream track car in the totem demiplane is running, the divinity of this concept will be stable.
In Faerûn, the Dream Rail Car is a completely new concept.
In terms of providing faith, conceptual divinity has no advantage over belief divinity. It is even more difficult to develop. New conceptual divinity will not be produced for hundreds or even thousands of years.
But for those gods, the stability of conceptual divinity is far beyond what belief in divinity can match.
The divine power of belief will change with the number of believers, and may even be forgotten by the believers and no longer be produced.
Conceptual divinity will not. As long as the concepts that match them are still there, these gods will not truly die and may come back, unless all the conceptual divinities they depend on are destroyed.
That is to say, the entire Faerun is no longer owned and has not spread to other planes. As long as it is still used in one place, this concept is not completely eliminated.
Like the Twin Gods, each of these totem statues was counted by Gavin, and all their dominance was handed over to the Haslan witches.
The enthusiasm of these Haslan witches for building the Dream Railcar was aroused to the extreme, and they took the opportunity to discuss many details. In the process, Filancini provided a lot of pertinent suggestions. Whether it is a magical creation or an understanding of the etheric plane, it is the same.
However, the specific implementation of this plan still needs to be left to the Leatherman elders after research, because they are the professionals in this area.
Gavin took the initiative to guarantee that if the Dream Rail Car was put into actual research and manufacturing, he would provide the steel materials required at the ex-factory price to the Leatherman Kingdom to provide material support for this matter.
Haslan Witch naturally would not refuse. The Leatherman Kingdom does not have its own iron ore and mainly relies on imports.
The entrance direction is not only to other territories on the material plane, but also to the inner plane, the earth elemental plane. This world is completely composed of earth elements. It not only has endless earth and stone, but also endless Endless veins of minerals.
The metal gems found in the material plane are found here.
Metal gems that are not found in the material plane are also found here.
As long as you can find the caves of the natives of the earth elemental plane, you can harvest massive amounts of ore.
However, the difficulty of transporting these ores back is even greater than finding them, and only a small number of top witches can do this. They can only be used to respond to emergencies. Most of the time, they still rely on Transacted on the material plane.
The fact that the Kingdom of Leatherman was shrouded in a complete dream was not just as simple as causing frequent earthquakes within itself.
The red-robed mages of the Seer Kingdom, which was only separated by a lake, immediately felt the connection and couldn't help but appear in Moshantir Lake again.
"What's going on? Why do I feel like there's a terrifying force shrouding this place? If I go in rashly, something bad will happen? What did those witches do?"
"Dreamland, this It's the power of dreams. Leatherman is now enveloped in a complete dream. , what I was most worried about happened, our battle with this group of witches will become more difficult in the future.
Except for the Skeleton Legion, if other legions, including our red-robed mage, enter Leather. Anyone in Man’s territory may be hit by this kind of dream.”< br>
"I said, we should not retreat easily just now, but continue to send troops to fight with them in Moshantir City. No matter what, we must take the opportunity to chew off this hard bone, and in Lai A gap has opened in the Thurman Kingdom. You are worried about too many casualties. Now, okay It will be even more difficult in the future.”
“What’s the matter? Just a dream scared you like this? You deserve the title of chief. Don’t we still have a skeleton army and a first chief? ? He will definitely find a way to decipher the dream."
"There is a way to crack everything, even dreams. The best way to crack it is to do it through the same channel. Mislera, you are the chief of the illusion department. Illusion and dreams are inseparable. In the future, dream research I’ll leave it to you to do it.”
“Illusion is an illusion, a dream. It's a dream, how can the two be confused? And this is the matter of our entire Red Robe Mage Association, how can we leave it all to our illusion department?" After a short inspection, these red robed mages understood what was going on. It was them. Each city became darker than the other, and his face became extremely ugly at this moment.
They are very aware of the restraint of this ability on ordinary soldiers. In the future, it will be significantly more difficult for them to invade the Leatherman Kingdom.
After discussing for a long time, not only did we not find a solution, but our own people started to blame each other and blame each other.
This is the consistent characteristic of these red-robed mages. One plus one is always less than two. When a group of red-robed mages gather together, the energy they use to defend their own people will far exceed that of treating the enemy.
“If we want to study dreams from the beginning, we are one step behind those witches. We should start from the source. As far as I know, this dream is not the ability of the witches themselves, but the relationship between the witches and the man named Gavin. It is related to the young commander. We can start from him to try to obtain more dream information and find a way to crack it."
"I think this method is feasible, Chief Lauzoril, your enchantment system is the best. Being good at mind manipulation, I might as well leave this task to you.”
"You think simply, regardless of the current importance of this young commander in the Leatherman Kingdom, just based on the strength he showed in the defense battle of Mosantir City, he is not an ordinary person. If you want to pass Magic controls his mind, I'm afraid it's not the same thing
I think some more conventional methods are more likely to work, such as money, beauty, power and power. There is always one thing he desires. As long as he shows his weakness, we will have a chance. .”
"Using desire to corrupt the mind is also a way to manipulate the mind?"
"It seems there is no problem if you say that."
The topics of these red-robed mages went round and round, and finally It was transferred to Gavin, the originator of the totem dream.
The first thought of these evil red-robed mages was to tie him up and squeeze all the secrets about the dream from his mouth.
But the force displayed by Gavin in Moshantir City made them somewhat afraid. It was not easy to eliminate so many high-level undead in such a short period of time.
It is even more difficult to turn those high-level undead into your own soldiers with a backhand, and it is not something ordinary people can do.
Hmph.
After a cold groan, all the red-robed mages shut up and looked at the man in the middle who exuded endless cold aura.
Because he is Sazas, the first chief of Ser.
The voice of the first sergeant chief was as yin and yang as ever, slow and rhythmic, as if every sentence was carefully considered, "This matter should be dealt with from three aspects.
First of all, the permanent location of the Skeleton Legion was changed from Praiador Province to Xexel Province, and at the same time, the production of undead was increased, especially the collection of high-level undead and spiritual undead. "
"The First Chief Wisdom, this is how it should be. Most of the undead have no mind and will not be affected by dreams, while those spiritual undead have the ability to enter the ether, and dreams are naturally no exception. Both offense and defense are extremely beneficial. "
"I have no objection. "
"I have no objection either. ”
The chief red-robed mages were full of flattery and praised Sazaz’s decision.
Not only because this decision is indeed wise and extremely beneficial to them, but also because he has absolute strength and he doesn't like others to oppose his decisions. Those chiefs who often oppose him can easily become a thing of the past.
Sazas's expression did not change at all, it was still endlessly cold, like an orderly machine, and continued: "Secondly, it is to explore the mystery of the dream and find its solution. The method, whether you study it yourself or use means to seize it from Gavin's commander
No matter which series has a breakthrough. Progress, within the next ten years, this department will have ten apprenticeship priorities, and one percent of the annual resource quota will be taken from other departments and transferred to this department."
"Ten apprenticeship priorities. Right? Increase the resource quota by 7%?”
The chief red-robed mage was both surprised and worried, which then turned into unconcealable greed.
It is difficult for outsiders to imagine how fierce the internal competition among red-robed mages is. Among them, there are two most common competitions.
One is the annual recruitment competition for magic apprentices. Those high-quality apprentices with relatively strong magic potential are naturally their priority. After all, the more mid-to-high-level red-robed wizards you have in your own mage department, the more likely they are to recruit high-quality apprentices. The stronger your voice in the Red Robe Mage Association, the more stable your position will be.
The other is the resource quota. This quota is not static, nor is it evenly distributed. It is newly determined at a meeting based on the performance of the mage department in the past year.
Don’t underestimate this seven percent. In the Kingdom of Ser, this is an astronomical figure, and it can easily involve hundreds of millions of funds.
The research and learning of spells consumes a lot of money.
If there is this additional capital injection, the mage system will take off directly in the red robe mage association.
The Necromancer Department has been the mainstay of the Red Robe Mage Association for many years. Why did it grow into the number one Mage Department in a short period of time after the rise of Sazars?
It is because as the first chief mage, he controls 10% of the additional resource allocation.
Other mage departments hold about 10% of the rations, while the necromancy department holds at least 20% of the resources.
They are not developing rapidly, but who is developing rapidly?
This is also the reason why the Skeleton Army suddenly became the largest army in the Kingdom of Ser, because they have enough resources and funds to purchase and transform the undead.
The total amount of rationing is limited, so there is a trade-off.
The added part is all taken from other mage systems.
While these red-robed mages were secretly happy, they couldn't help but feel worried. If their own mage department completed this task, it would be a great joy, but what if other mage departments completed it?
Their rise will be unstoppable, especially for the Necromancers. The proportion of the quota they control every year is already quite astonishing. If you add 7% to the quota, it will directly approach the 30% mark. Three times that of the mage system, other mage systems will never be able to surpass it and replace it.
Isn't this a plot by Sazas?
He has already mastered the method of dealing with the young commander, and deliberately made this condition to seek greater benefits for his mage department?
Looking at each other, these chief red-robed mages had no contact, but they had the same mind, but no one dared to ask.
"What? Are you not satisfied with this method?" Sazas glanced at the chief red-robed mages one by one with his cold and faint eyes.
These chief red-robed mages couldn't help but shudder and expressed their opinions one after another.
"The First Chief's method is most appropriate. It will greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of each department. I believe that all departments will do their best to promote this matter for the common interests of our Red Robe Mage Association."
"The First Chief's method is fair and reasonable, and we in the Enchanting Department have no objections."
"We in the Conjuration Department The department also supports the First Chief’s decision.”
“Very well, since you all have no objections, let’s do our best to advance this matter. I’m waiting for your good news,” Sazas said. After encouraging him, his figure flickered and disappeared, leaving no chance for the red-robed mages to raise objections.
This has been his consistent style of doing things since he took over the power of the Kingdom of Ser.
Talking about unity and cooperation will not work in the Red Robe Master.
In this case, it is better to put competition on the table and use benefits to seduce them to actively do their best to do something.
For the sake of profit, and also to prevent the fat from falling into the hands of others, their enthusiasm will inevitably be fully mobilized and they will go hand in hand. Maybe there will be surprises.
After all, no one in the mage department of the Red Robe Mage Association is weak, whether it is the leader or themselves.
Among the red-robed mages, they are just a mage department. If placed outside, they would be more powerful than most mage organizations. (End of chapter)
