when! when! when!
The familiar ringing of bells came from the small monastery not far from the village.
This is to notify the farmers that night is coming and they should go home early.
We are also informing the pastors that the prayer time has come.
Green Nest Town.
Anna's hometown.
That small convent was where Gavin abducted her more than a year ago.
“Let’s go down.” Gavin walked directly down.
"No...no...don't..." Anna shook her head repeatedly, her face full of struggle.
Having emotions is called timidity, and this is the case for her.
In the past, going home was restricted by distance.
But after she entered the transcendent realm, returning home was just a matter of a moment's notice.
She still didn't do it, it was this emotion that was causing trouble.
"I was the one who took you out, and today I have the obligation to send you back." Gavin couldn't help but grabbed Anna and walked down.
The hole you dug can only be filled by yourself.
"Don't... wait... wait until I get rid of the side effects of the treatment... I will go back by myself..." Anna hugged a tree and refused to let go.
“This is what you said.” Gavin emphasized.
"I promise." Anna nodded repeatedly.
She is like a tortoise now, facing it will be too late if she can.
No one knows when the side effects of her treatment will be cured.
To be honest, she doesn't care about it that much now.
Because Gavin has opened countless doors for her and let her know that in this world, the only way to help people is healing magic.
As long as she finds the right method, she can treat and help more people.
For example, innovate common medical methods and teach them to more people.
Another example is opening a hospital and hiring more professionals to treat those patients.
Another example is to open up wasteland for farming, so that more people can have enough to eat and have safe homes, solving the root cause of the problem and nipping it in the bud.
The first two still belong to the teachings of Ilmat, the god of suffering, but the latter is transcendent.
This also made her feel the narrow-mindedness of the God of Suffering. This thought made her hesitate and uneasy, because it was already blasphemous.
And this is the reason why she cannot really face her parents, especially her teachers.
“Here, eat this.” Gavin took out a golden ball of light that looked like an apple and gave it to Anna.
"What is this?" Anna asked in surprise, "Can this thing cure my side effects of treatment?"
"This is the divine golden apple from the Golden Apple Orchard. It contains strong vitality and has the ability to increase The powerful effect of life."
Gavin replied, "The cause of your illness has long been found out. A goblin used a life-sharing contract on you, and he fell asleep in your body, constantly absorbing the healing spells you cast to heal himself
But I think this treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. >
The function of healing spells is mainly focused on the healing of the soul and body
Your situation is more like hurting the origin of life, which is most intuitively reflected in lifespan.
This magical fruit, which contains the powerful source of life, may have a healing effect on you. ”
Except for the fifteen divine golden apples produced by the Golden Apple Orchard this time, Gavin, Lord Virginia and Filancini shared them on the spot.
< br>Half of the remaining one hundred or so went directly into Gavin's dimension
Of course, this precious fruit cannot be left there to fend for itself, but must be distributed to his followers. In your hands, maximize your profits.
Gavin's first thought was Anna.
In addition to the possibility of curing her special hidden disease, her unknown contribution is also worthy of this.
And Gavin also has some selfish motives.
Any god needs believers, and he is no exception, especially the exclusive sacrifices that promote faith.
The girl pastor is undoubtedly very suitable.
It doesn't matter even if she has faith. In Faerun, changing faith is very normal and common. It is nothing more than that if you want to go back in the future, you must perform an atonement ceremony to regain the approval of the original god.
Unless the believer committed blasphemy against the original belief when he apostatized - this is a common method used by evil gods or demon lords.
Once this happens, those gods will be furious and send their own believers or divine envoys to hunt them down.
Belief is not something that God has the final say on. The decision-making power lies in the hands of believers.
Anna was obviously still a little confused and didn't think about it.
On the one hand, it is the original belief that is at work.
On the other hand, she was too close to Gavin. Even if Gavin did something earth-shattering, she would take it for granted and always treat him as a person, not a god, and respect him. In short, faith is out of the question.
So, Gavin took the opportunity to release her this time and let her go out with Varro to practice and gain more life experience. While gaining more training, he also appropriately distanced the two parties.
It is said that distance creates beauty, and it may have an unexpected effect.
"Is this very valuable?" Anna instinctively appraised it. It contains obscure and powerful magic fluctuations. If the added life span is more than ten years, its price will be at least 100,000 gold. Even higher.
"Just eat it, we have a golden apple orchard, and it will bear fruit every year in the future." Gavin took out another divine golden apple and said lightly, "No matter whether it can cure your disease or not, you have to eat it today. Full."
"Okay." Anna is also considered a person who has seen the world. She once took charge of the finances of the Conqueror Army and the Eastern Region Expeditionary Army, and once handled tens of millions of money and materials.
Based on the relationship between two people, many things cannot be measured with money.
And she has never been sensitive to money. She is more interested in how many people she has helped and changed with the money.
“It’s so delicious and so comfortable.” As soon as the divine golden apple entered her stomach, Anna’s beautiful big eyes couldn’t help but narrow.
This kind of comfort is not only physical, but also spiritual, a feeling of recovery from a serious illness.
"It works! It actually works!" Gavin, who had been paying attention to Anna's condition, was delighted.
When the original magic power belonging to the divine golden apple rippled through Anna's body, a golden shadow flashed behind her.
It's just that the shadow was too faint, and Gavin didn't have time to distinguish its appearance, but one thing was certain, it was a fey, with a strong natural aura exuding from his body.
“Continue.” Gavin thrust the second and third divine golden apples into Anna’s hands at the same time.
This time, Anna didn't say anything and stuffed them directly into her mouth.
Because she herself also noticed something strange in her soul, a weak but familiar voice from the heart told her that she needed more divine golden apples.
Every time the magic power of the divine golden apple ripples in Anna's body, the sound will become louder.
Behind her, the shadow will appear again, lasting longer and clearer.
By the time the magic power of the third divine golden apple took effect, Gavin could already identify the species of the other party. It was a canine fey, but its appearance was still a bit unreal, and it was impossible to determine the true species.
However, there are not many canine spirits, and there are only a limited number of them coming and going.
A species called Flash Dog is an intelligent canine creature that is as intelligent as an adult and is famous for its ability to flash and teleport over short distances. The other is called the Wilderness Hound, an extremely powerful wilderness war beast that mutated by drinking the water from the Spiritual Spring unique to the Fairy Wilderness. It possesses extraordinary combat power and magical abilities, and often competes with those powerful Eldest Spirits. The lords hang out together.
When the other half of the Soul Fountain in Spring Bud Forest was corrupted by the ancient evil, it was also corrupted, including the wilderness hound transformed from the Soul Fountain.
Gavin did not speculate too much, but took out the fourth and fifth divine golden apples. Anyway, he made up his mind today to fulfill his original promise and cure Anna's stubborn disease. .
Then just look at the results directly.
“I remember, I seem to remember, my grandmother’s house had a big yellow dog named Ellie. Every time I went there, it played with me. It was it that saved me, it was her It was her who saved me from the fire. She must have used the life sharing contract with me. < br>
Sorry, Ellie, sorry, you saved me, but after so many years, I have even forgotten your name..."
As the canine spirits became more and more powerful behind Anna, It became more and more solid, and her dusty memories began to unblock, recalling more and more things.
This situation reached its climax after Anna ate the fifth divine golden apple and received the blessing of a complete golden apple.
A large amount of power began to be withdrawn from her body and poured into the body of the canine spirit behind her, allowing it to materialize and condense into a physical existence bit by bit.
The embodied canine spirit is much larger than the soul state, but it is not the bloated type, but has a streamlined shape like a cheetah, with soft yellow-brown fur on its body, which is extremely smooth and beautiful. Her eyes clearly shone with the unique aura that only intelligent creatures can possess.
This is a flash dog.
A kind of naturally kind and lawful fey.
They have an excellent reputation both in the material plane and in the Fairy Wilderness.
Because they are very friendly to all kind creatures, they will warn those kind people in advance, but they are often mistaken for the barking of domestic dogs.
They are very protective of their puppies. When they love their puppies, they also like the puppies of other creatures, including humanoid creatures.
If a humanoid cub is lost, if they find it, they will take the initiative to return it to their parents, or lead their parents to find them.
If they don’t use their innate supernatural abilities and high intelligence, it will be difficult for ordinary people to separate them from domestic dogs.
They will be attracted by those kind homes, enter their lives in various ways, live with them for a period of time, and then leave quietly.
There are also very few flash dogs who will guard a kind family for life. This is extremely rare because they belong to the fey species and have more or less fey hobbies, such as wandering and living in isolation with their own kind.
"Ellie...Ellie, is it really you? It's really you who saved me! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, you saved me, but I even forgot about you, I'm sorry... ..."
Anna hugged the flash dog tightly, like holding a unique treasure that was lost and found.
Woof...roar...
Flash Dog barks and growls, which are very similar to dog barks, but there is a unique rhythm inside, which falls on the cover wearing the spiritual insight gem. In Wen's ears, it directly became a language.
"I don't blame you... My friend, this is my own choice... I am very happy that we can meet again... We will never be separated again this time."
Anna obviously understood this. He only flashed the dog's words, hugged her tighter, and cried and laughed: "Yes, we will never be separated again."
Gavin did not interrupt the resumption of childhood between one person and one dog. Friendship, but carefully observed Anna's attribute panel and compared the changes before and after.
Vitality: 74 (14D8+14)
Strength 13, Dexterity 14, Constitution 12, Intelligence 13, Perception 18, Charisma 16
This was Anna's attribute before she ate the divine golden apple.
The growth rate of the young priest is also amazing. After all, when she left home, she was a young priest who had just started her career template. Now she has become a senior priest.
But compared to Gavin who set out with her, her attribute growth was quite satisfactory, which was the case for most professionals.
Most professionals have a very single way of obtaining attribute points. There are two main ways.
One is self-training and learning, in which physical attributes take effect faster than the three internal attributes.
However, this kind of self-training has its limits. Except for a very few people with extraordinary talents, most people will not be able to exceed fifteen points in each attribute without a professional template.
The other is the professional ability bonus, which is related to the chosen profession.
Those melee professionals are more likely to gain enhanced physical attributes.
Like barbarians or warriors, before becoming a legend, they can basically increase their strength and constitution to extraordinary levels, especially the former. With blessings such as the Great Fury, they can even break through to double legends.
This is not the case for priests. They can only get one free attribute point every three professional levels, which is usually allocated to their core spellcasting attributes. The core spellcasting attribute of priests is perception.
The stronger the perception, the closer the connection with nature and one's own gods, and the easier it is to borrow the power of nature or gods.
For orthodox spellcasting professions, physical strengthening is secondary. The powerful spellcasting ability will directly destroy the enemy ten meters away, without giving them a chance to get close.
Especially those priests. Many devout priests regard it as their temporary residence or even a shackle. Their ultimate goal is to become the Holy Spirit or an envoy of God, and go to the Kingdom of God to serve their gods and bodies. They will eventually be abandoned.
After eating five golden apples in a row, Anna's charm attribute was not just +5, but other attributes also increased to varying degrees.
Vitality: 88 (14D8+28)
Strength 15, Agility 15, Constitution 14, Intelligence 14, Perception 19, Charisma 21
This shows that the life-sharing contract not only burdened her soul, but also affected her physical development to a certain extent. weaken.
Now it is replenished by the vigorous vitality of the divine golden apple.
But this matter comes at a price. The blessing of the golden apple on her body is different from that of Gavin and the others. The magic effects of charm +5 and immortality are all there, but those two are missing. One hundred and fifty years of life extension.
Obviously, this was consumed and used to heal the flash dog Ellie.
But what she got in exchange was not just these, Anna also opened a charismatic reward exclusive to herself.
Life Symbiosis Contract (Special Ability) - The souls and lives of you and Ellie have been completely tied together. You will share lifespan. The highly integrated life essence allows you to use Ellie's supernatural power. ability of ability.
When you ride Ellie, you can use Blink and any door in sync with her.
While Erin is integrated into your body, you can use Blink and Any Door at will, just like your own supernatural abilities.
This is more powerful.
Although the levels of these two spells are not high (Flash is a third-level spell and Any Door is a fourth-level spell), they are both super practical spells.
The flash spell can make the subject directly become like a ghost, with the ability to flash continuously in the material plane and the spiritual world. It is named because there will be flashes visible to the naked eye. The effect is the same as The ghost is also very similar. Physical attacks on it have a 50% chance of missing, and it can be used to penetrate walls and so on.
Any door is also called short-distance teleportation, which is the ability of the six-armed snake demon.
In the hands of the six-armed snake demon who is good at close combat, this ability is a magical skill used to hunt enemies.
But in the hands of a spellcaster like Anna, it becomes the only choice for kiting tactics.
When the enemy managed to get close despite being bombarded by magic, the opponent's random door appeared hundreds of meters away. Even if the enemy was not killed, it would completely collapse them.
Although Anna already has the ability to cast these spells.
But it is a magic-like ability that cannot be resisted. If you can use it at will without any restrictions, it is more powerful.
Not to mention, it can also be used with flash dogs.
As for the body shape issue, it’s not a big deal at all.
Just customize a saddle with a mutated animal for Flash Dog, which will not only change its size to a large size suitable for Anna to ride, but even its abilities will be strengthened.
It could also be that Anna used the shrinking technique on herself to adapt to the size of the flash dog.
In short, both mobility and safety have been greatly improved.
Coupled with Anna's healing ability, she can directly transform into a super battlefield priest, which can not only sustain the battery of those soldiers, but also provide a certain amount of fire support.
After one person and one dog expressed their joy at the reunion, Gavin suggested on the side: "Our magical healing technique about you is flawed. After all, it is just speculation. Whether it is really cured now needs to be done on the spot. Just experiment.”
This really hit Anna's sensitivity, and she quickly calmed down and said, "Mr. Gavin is right."
Although the healing magic is not that important to her now, as a professional It is a pity that a priest who specializes in healing has flaws in his healing magic. (End of this chapter)
