Not only did Taharisi not turn around and leave this time, she even took the tableware that the other party handed her by accident, followed the other party's example, squatted next to the hanging pot, and picked up the hot food from it.
The two thin wooden sticks handed over by the other party, although it was the first time for the three shadows to see and use them.
But after a little observation of the opponent's usage, he started to use it smoothly, and his attack speed was fast and ruthless, no worse than the opponent's.
Because he started a little slower, all the food that had just been cooked went into the other party's stomach, and it didn't matter to her at all.
The hanging pot in front of them became a new battlefield for the two of them, the chopsticks in their hands became their new weapons, and the prepared hot pot food was their trophy.
In the beginning, Taharisi was somewhat competitive.
Slowly, I became addicted to the delicious food.
The other party is definitely a master of enjoyment. Those meat rolls are all cut with the freshest ingredients. The same species, different parts, have different tastes.
Not to mention the variety of ingredients. Taharisi could only tell that they came from different species, but could not tell who their owners were.
There are also many types of green, red, yellow and green vegetables and various kinds of mushrooms.
The more you eat, the more delicious it becomes, and even the soup is extremely delicious.
At the end of the meal, I felt completely refreshed. The fatigue of body and soul caused by the successive battles was wiped away. The effect was no less than that of a hero's banquet.
At their level, the need for food has been greatly reduced. Divine power can maintain the basic consumption of their bodies. In many cases, it is a habit and enjoyment, and an effective means of relieving fatigue.
Their fatigue is not physical, but spiritual.
Previously in Azgrat, their minds had to be in a tense state. It could be said that they were thinking exhaustively, using all means and tricks, and did not dare to be careless or relaxed at all.
Gavin is more prosperous than Taharisi. After entering a familiar and safe area, he naturally needs to relax and rest.
After changing to a new environment, even former enemies may become allies or special friends.
This is the situation now. Neither Gavin nor the Three Shadows are in the mood to start a war here.
Gavin took the lead to break the silence between the two and asked: "Have you taken back your clone?"
The cooperation between the two parties is not from the portal of the endless ladder. It started when the Triple Shadow backstabbed the Blood Baron's incarnation.
It's just that the scene was too chaotic, and Gavin didn't have time to pay attention to Taharisi and her doppelgänger.
"Took it back." The Three Shadows snorted, not intending to discuss this topic in depth.
Gavin had no intention of letting her go. He straightened the blood hammer casually and said, "In this matter, we are allies, not enemies. If I guess correctly, your clone is Wasn't he transformed into a vampire, and once he gets close to the Blood Baron or his other incarnations, he might be controlled by him again? "
Since the War Reavers imprisoned the Blood Baron's incarnations?
Gavin suddenly became a top vampire expert. Whether to control vampires or eliminate them was entirely up to him.
Not to mention he controlled two.
In addition to further strengthening his vampire touch and ability to control vampires, he also unlocked an ability called the vampire aura.
The coverage radius is 31 meters. All friendly forces in the blood-sucking aura will receive blood-sucking attacks.
The effect is very similar to the vampire touch. It absorbs the enemy's blood and replenishes one's own. The specific effect is equivalent to the professional level of the recipient.
When Gavin met the Triple Shadow again, he had already noticed something strange in her body.
This is also the greatest confidence for him to dare to form an alliance with the other party and invite the other party to share the same pot.
As long as the opponent dares to use the signature ability of the Triple Shadow, the clone that has been transformed into a vampire will most likely lose control again and become the puppet of the Blood Hammer.
The other party was obviously aware of this, which was probably the reason why she did not dare to act rashly.
Compared to her mouth, her body is much more honest, and can't help but react reflexively according to the position of the War Reaver - the combat reflex is also a reaction, and it is more difficult to control.
“Hmph!” Taharisi snorted again, “This is my business, you don’t need to worry about it.”
She knew that there was no way to hide this matter from the other party, so she could only acquiesce.
“If one day you are pursued by the Blood Baron, you can come to me and I can provide you with shelter.” Gavin touched the War Reaver and said, “At least where my war hammer is, His servants and incarnations do not dare to approach easily."
"You should take care of yourself first," Taharisi said coldly, "An incarnation of medium divine power has no chance. He is so easy to be imprisoned and exploited. When you are using his ability, isn't he using his own ability to corrode you?
Be careful not only you, but also all the creatures around you when you wake up at night? , will be dominated by blood-sucking desires.
At that time, did the Blood Baron become your prisoner, or did you become the Blood Baron? "
If you fight with the dragon for too long, you will become a dragon yourself; if you stare into the abyss for too long, the abyss will stare back.
This philosophical quote emerged uncontrollably in Gavin's mind. Combined with his recent experience, he really tasted something different.
Back in the desperate Eastern Region of Faerûn, he was an enemy of the killing power, dedicated to destroying him.
Now he has transformed into its largest user, and even gave birth to a new killing demigod.
Does this count as the dragon slayer turning into an evil dragon?
War Raider opens up a whole new set of abilities that look incredibly powerful.
In fact, it is no different from the succubus queen's blessing of lust, and is also full of corruption traps.
A very simple question.
How will he treat those vampires when he returns to the material plane?
Do you control it and use it as your own tool? Or ruthlessly destroy it?
You must know that vampires are out-and-out extraordinary beings. They not only have powerful regeneration capabilities, but also the ability to quickly create spawn soldiers.
It is a mid-to-high-level unit that many dark and powerful beings like to use. It only has the flaws of bloodthirsty and blood-sucking.
Once Gavin cannot refuse this temptation, he will change from an enemy of vampires to a patron of vampires.
The same is true for the vampire aura.
There is an indescribable and refreshing feeling during the use. Even Gavin, who has a strong will, will never forget it afterwards.
If it is used on those soldiers with low willpower, there is no guarantee that they will not become addicted to it and develop an irresistible desire for blood, thus creating a new demonic addiction.
Magic addiction is a general term. Excessive dependence on certain magic or magic drugs can be included in this category. The types and abstraction are beyond imagination.
There are not only those who are addicted to harmful spells, but also those who are addicted to benign spells, such as healing magic.
Some people like the relaxed and comfortable feeling of recovering from a physical injury in a short period of time without any illness or disaster. For this ultimate feeling, they deliberately mutilate themselves in various ways.
This kind of addiction will not cause much harm to the person involved.
However, it would put a huge burden on the medical system in a territory, which directly dealt a fatal blow to Anna's free medical proposal and made it stillborn.
Many seemingly good policies cannot be implemented in the territory because of the greed in human nature.
Once you suck blood or become addicted to bloodthirsty, it will become a huge unstable factor. In addition, a vampire god is watching behind you. As long as you relax a little bit, the other party may take advantage of it. enter.
I am in the bottomless abyss and have no worries about this.
But it won’t be long before he needs to return to the material plane. He has a huge territory to protect. Just a war predator is not enough.
Before that, he must think of a countermeasure. If necessary, he must reach a consensus and sign a contract with the Blood Baron.
Seeing that Gavin was silenced by her words, Taharisi was in a great mood. She even became more energetic when doing rice. Taking advantage of Gavin's free time to think, she put this The food in the pot was swept away.
Someone comes up again.
Gavin and Taharisi's eyes turned to the stairs at the same time, where there was a rhythmic footsteps coming.
Endless Ladder is an open world that faces the entire multiverse. It is normal to meet passers-by. In fact, there were not just the two of them in this stairwell, there were several pairs of eyes observing them curiously, but the powerful power exuded from them prevented the peepers from getting close easily.
Anyone with a discerning eye can recognize Taharishi from her appearance. She is a half-demon, and she is likely to have the blood of the Dark Prince Graz'zt.
For this alone, he is infamous throughout the multiverse.
Gavin was not much better than her, especially the War Reaver he carried with him. Imprisoning two blood baron incarnations was somewhat difficult. The aura could not be completely concealed. It exuded a strong smell of blood and was full of coordination. The left hand holding the killing power looks like an evil god no matter how you look at it.
No matter what race appears at the entrance of the endless ladder, it is not something to be surprised about.
Guessing the opponent's race and identity is a very popular unique game in Endless Ladder.
The first thing that catches the eye is a head of fiery red hair, and then a thin and beautiful human face. The pair of pointed ears show the other half of her bloodline. Her eyebrows are like jade, and the corners of her mouth are moderately thick. There was a faint smile.
It is a smile that comes from the heart, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, and they can't help but be infected by her.
Her clothes are rich in exotic colors. Her top is a pleated leather jacket, her lower body is an over-the-knee skirt inlaid with red and blue patterns, and her feet are wearing leggings and slippers that are easy to climb. .
A pair of long spikes on her belt flowed like a waterfall behind her. Her spiral red-trimmed cloak was painted with alternating patterns of swords, sticks and cups. She was carrying a small and exquisite traveler's backpack. It exudes strong magic fluctuations and must be a piece of magic equipment.
When Gavin saw her for the first time, he couldn't help but smile. He said silently in his heart: "It is indeed her."
When he heard the footsteps in the stairwell, he had already roughly Guessed the other party's identity.
Because the other party is an acquaintance of his, an acquaintance from his previous life.
In their previous lives, the two of them had met countless times on the endless ladder. Sometimes they passed each other, sometimes they walked side by side, and sometimes they slept on the same stair platform.
The endless ladder can be said to be very big or very small, depending on how much time you spend here.
The friendship between the two of them in their previous life remained at the level of acquaintances.
The two of them helped each other while climbing the endless ladder.
But it won’t be long before they part ways again for their own purposes, and they just smile and wave goodbye to each other.
Until now, Gavin doesn’t know the other party’s real name, he only knows her code name - Queen of Cards.
This nickname comes from the deck of cards around her waist. She is the top card player. The legendary God of Trickery, Loki, once entertained her in his kingdom of God, and then Defeated by her in a card game.
Gavin mentioned this matter more than once in his previous life, and the Card Queen always laughed it off.
So until now, Gavin doesn’t know whether this rumor is true or false.
After the Queen of Cards stepped onto the landing, she immediately closed her eyes and took a deep breath, sighing from the bottom of her heart: "It tastes so good, even the specialty dishes from the best taverns in Sigil are nothing more than this." , it’s rare to encounter her in the endless ladder.”
Her common language has a very obvious exotic accent, which is melodious and full of emotion, which invisibly adds to her beauty.
In addition to her innate talent, her voice is obviously specially trained and of a very high level.
Among all the people Gavin has ever seen, there are only two people who can compare with him. One is the incarnation of the God of Song, and the other is Regina, the princess of Battle Valley.
The Card Queen then politely saluted and said: "I don't know if I can exchange my skills for a bite to eat, whether it's singing, magic, or dancing. If you are interested, I can still Let me play some card games with you.”
She turned a blind eye to Gavin’s appearance and their abnormal aura, because she had dealt with worse objects, such as the beholder, and the snatcher. Inner demons.
She can always convince and even please them, letting them let her go and continue her journey on the endless ladder.
“This is our honor.” Gavin responded with a smile, “If possible, I would like to exchange information about the Endless Ladder with you.”
Meeting an acquaintance from a previous life is always a joyful thing.
If the other party holds the information that they urgently need, that would be something even more worthy of celebration.
"Of course." The card queen said in a typical familiar tone.
She took off her magic travel backpack, took out her tableware, used it as a bench, and sat down next to the hanging pot.
While skillfully grabbing the food from the hanging pot, he asked: "What information do you want to know?"
Gavin took out new ingredients and drinks from his portable space, and responded with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, eat and drink first."
"Ha...it's so hot. ...It's so spicy...it's delicious..." The Card Queen breathed out the heat in her mouth, but couldn't stop her hands. "This is a completely new way of eating. I wonder if it has its own name?"
"Hot pot!" Gavin replied, "Everything can be cooked."
"It's worthy of the name." The Queen of Cards' eyes fell on the chopsticks in their hands, "You don't know this kind of tableware. Is there anything else? "
The knife and fork in her hands are obviously not as flexible as the chopsticks in Gavin and Taharisi's hands. No matter what kind of ingredients, she can easily pick them up.
"Here." Gavin waved his hand, and a new pair of bowls and chopsticks appeared out of thin air in front of the three of them.
Divinity shaping.
This is an ability that all divine beings are proficient in.
With this ability, ordinary mortal objects are no longer eligible to occupy space in Gavin's portable dimensional bag.
The three people present were accustomed to this and did not show any surprise.
In the material plane, divine beings are rare existences.
In the multiverse, I dare not say that it is everywhere, but it is definitely not rare.
Especially for a person whose home is the endless ladder, her knowledge is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"Thank you." After the card queen took it, she got used to it a little bit, and then used it skillfully, and her mastery speed was not much slower than Taharisi's.
At their level, their learning speed is far faster than ordinary people.
Although the Queen of Cards is thin and frail, she is also an out-and-out big eater. She cooked three pots in a row, which was enough to feed three adult men. She just slowed down her eating speed and entered the intermission.
The tip of her nose was red, the steam was steaming from the top of her head, and she looked very hearty. She praised again: "Good food, I haven't felt so comfortable after eating for a long time. If there is another glass of cold drink, I will be in paradise." But that’s it!”
Before she could finish her words, Gavin had already handed over a crystal goblet, which contained wine that exuded a chilly air. Spirit wine, a specialty of my territory!"
"You are one of the most considerate people I have ever met," the Queen of Cards said a little embarrassed, "I eat you and drink you. Yes, let me sing a song to express my gratitude."
Added, "This is extra, I am still willing to share the information about the endless ladder with you."
"That's our honor." Gavin did not refuse.
He knows the other person's character very well. Once he refuses, the other person will feel uncomfortable.
She has a severe please disorder.
Her oath is very famous in Endless Ladder.
Her destination is the moon at the top of the ladder, a moon that is completely different from the moon in each material plane, a moon that only appears in heaven.
She wants to pass through every door on the ladder, please the people in that world, and then come back and continue climbing the ladder after gaining their approval.
She believes that only by doing this can she finally get where she wants to go.
It is precisely because of this well-known oath that even those evil beings such as demons often look at her differently and choose to be polite most of the time.
Because such a presence can indeed bring them joy they have never experienced before, do something they can't do, and even look forward to her next visit.
Of course, one's own strength is an essential part. (End of chapter)
