On the contrary, her mother-daughter relationship with Mother Earth makes more sense. She was a native forest goddess born in the continent of Faerûn, but she died due to the powerful arrival of Silvanus, the father of the forest.
As Silvanus pressed forward step by step, her divine power once declined to the level of the weak. It was not until she transferred her core priesthood to forest creatures that she rebounded.
During the year of turmoil, her divine power returned to its peak, and she was one of the few who benefited from it. She took the Autumn Priesthood of Melkor, Lord of the Dead, into her own pocket.
But in her hands, autumn has been given a different meaning. It is no longer the dusk before winter, but a synonym for harvest, making final preparations for the arrival of winter.
This is why she supports Mother Earth and has a close relationship with her. Forest creatures also need agriculture. If the apple orchard can be developed well, it will be able to support more forest creatures.
"I will take good care of it." The satyr goddess took it happily.
Gavin thought about it and said: "Ms. Woodland, these apple tree seedlings in the Marching Mountains need you to pay more attention to them in the future."
She is the orthodox second generation of the gods, the daughter of Tarpon, the satyr lord and father of dance, and Sherindl, the dwarf fertility goddess.
She inherited part of the divine power of both parties and was the patron saint and caregiver of pregnant forest creatures, as well as the sower of trees and the nurturer of seedlings.
"This is my duty." The satyr goddess responded without hesitation, "I will come often in the future, as long as you don't find me annoying."
Before Gavin could speak, Stelina couldn't wait to say: "This is our honor. I still have a lot of knowledge about raising seedlings that I would like to ask Madam."
There was endless sincerity in his words.
After all, the golden apple orchard she took over was mature for breeding, and the development in the past year was not breeding, but transplanting existing adult apple trees.
She was somewhat frightened by such large-scale apple breeding.
"Let's communicate and learn more when we have time." The satyr goddess responded humbly.
"We have time now." Stelina couldn't wait to pull the satyr goddess aside and asked for advice on the precautions for raising apple tree seedlings.
Gavin suddenly raised a question that he had previously ignored: "Where is the instigator of this incident? How is the lady going to punish him?"
Although the final boss of this incident is the Flame Dragon Mother, she is not the initiator of everything.
"I don't know." Melika shook her head and said, "He may have gotten the power he wanted from it, or he may have been swallowed by this power beyond his ability. It doesn't matter anymore.
As for punishment, nature has already given it.
Only a small part of the intelligent beings perished in the fire, most of them were forced out.
They have lost their homes and food for the winter. Even good races will be forced to take risks by hunger, let alone those evil races. Their territory will inevitably become the target of invasion, and a war will be inevitable. ”
Gavin sighed: "The problem is that it is not only the slave owners of Calimshan who will suffer the war, but the people of the Kingdom of Tethyr will also suffer unreasonable disasters. The evil army composed of those evil creatures does not care who is responsible for this incident. The instigator! ”
Melikai said calmly: "We have fulfilled our responsibilities, and the rest is a matter for the secular rulers. That is their responsibility."
Even good gods will not easily intervene in secular wars unless they have to. This is the best way to protect mortal creatures. Once they participate in the war, even if they are incarnations, it will be devastating to mortal creatures.
Gavin took the initiative to resign and said, "If there are no other problems, I will come here today. The Kingdom of Tethyr is my motherland. I can't just sit back and ignore it. I want to inform the surrounding lords of the news here as soon as possible and let them do what they want." Well prepared.
We must provide assistance to those kind-hearted races and help them survive this disaster.
We must attack those evil races so that they have no chance of coming back.
The lady can summon those kind natural races, and I will provide them with shelter in Mis Noel and help them rebuild their homes. ”
"I really did not misjudge the person." Melikai praised sincerely, "They are already on their way to Misnoel, including my believers. They will obey your orders and assist you in this matter. .”
"Thank you, madam, for your trust." Gavin accepted with peace of mind.
In terms of divine power, except for Sterina, everyone else is above him.
But in terms of integration ability, even the Earth Goddess is not as good as him. This is what he is best at, and the road is just a manifestation of this ability.
After briefly chatting for a few more words, the gods turned into beams of light and left.
When they reach this level, they won't engage in boring social activities. They will only talk about things and get out of meetings if they have nothing to do.
Gavin had more than that, of course, but as Mother Earth said, the time had not yet come.
Now that I say it, not only will it not have a positive effect.
On the contrary, like the proposal of the Agricultural God Department, it will directly silence the situation and make the atmosphere very embarrassing. It is better not to say anything.
Leaving the violent blue bear to guard the Earth Stone, Gavin immediately returned to Myth Noel.
The legendary arcanist Filancini has fallen into a meditative slumber again, and he can only temporarily suppress his thoughts on studying the legendary elemental energy concentrator and the earth stone.
Just as he had expected, the gods of nature were too embarrassed to leave behind these elemental energy concentrators, and in the end, without exception, they all returned to his hands.
Except for the god-level elemental energy concentrator in his hand as a backup, the four legendary-level ones were all filled up, of which the majority were fire slag clusters, and the flaming flying dragon only accounted for a small part of them.
Datou was recalled by the Flame Dragon Mother and was suppressed into the earth stone together.
Gavin left all these elemental energy concentrators in the control room of the Tower of Domination, and Filancini would see them immediately after waking up.
Then Gavin found Carissa who was busy wandering around. At this time, Mys Noel was no longer as cold as before and was bustling with people. It was crowded with fleeing mountain races, among which Goliath was the largest. branch.
"How is the disaster situation?" Looking at Misnoel, which was crowded with victims of the disaster, Gavin's mood became heavy involuntarily, and the joy of harvest was diluted a lot.
Fighting the fire is just the beginning. The shock caused by the fire burning the mountains is still fermenting.
It is believed that only a small number escaped to Mythnoel, but the real majority fled to Calishan and Tethyr.
"It's very bad." Carissa said with a face full of sorrow, "More than 30% of the creatures who escaped here had varying degrees of burns, and we have run out of medicine.
The living supplies they carry are very limited. We can only sustain the forage for more than half a month, but the food will definitely not last more than ten days, or even shorter, because there are still people fleeing. ”
"Leave it to me to take care of the medicine and food, and you will do your best to organize people to rescue the wounded." Gavin had already been mentally prepared for this.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you Lord, we Goliaths will never forget today's kindness!" A huge stone fell in Carissa's heart.
She was very aware of Gavin's ability. She didn't need to use all her strength. She only needed to convince the Lord Zalanda of Dalauma City, and the problem would be solved.
Gavin asked with concern: "Where is your Goliath tribe? How is the situation?"
"More than 3,000 Goliaths arrived one after another, with heavy casualties. At least one-tenth of them were left in the wildfire, most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. Most of the prey and sheep were forced to stay in the mountains. ." Carissa's grief was even worse.
The Goliaths themselves are not good at numbers, so the losses this time are not small.
"This may not be entirely a bad thing." Gavin has a different view on this. "This disaster will make them re-examine the proposal to change their living habits."
The Goliath tribe that really agrees with Carissa's change of customs is currently only a small part, and most of them are unwilling to make changes. They are like stubborn rocks, not only in their appearance, but also in their personalities.
Changing customs is the most difficult thing.
At least under normal circumstances, it takes a long time.
But after the disaster, it's another story. The desperate situation in life will force them to make changes.
"It's just that this method is too cruel. I would rather they not make changes than face such a disaster." Carissa couldn't bear it. "The disaster has come, and thinking about it is no longer helpful." Gavin said with a cold heart, "I will solve the food issue, but it will not be free, but work-for-relief."
“What is cash-for-work?” This was the first time Carissa heard this term.
"They work in exchange for various living supplies." Gai Wenyan said concisely and concisely, "But the place of work is not Mis Noel, but your holy mountain, Serenagde Peak, which has been evaporated by fire. I am going to build a mountain city there, a city that truly belongs to you Goliaths.”
"Mountain city? A city belonging to the Goliaths?" Even though Carissa's heart was filled with sadness, her eyes still shined involuntarily. This was definitely a dream.
But in the next second, a lot of questions came to my mind, "You said the Holy Lake was dried up? How is this possible? The diameter there is no less than four kilometers. We often fish there during the summer, even if there are wildfires No matter how big it is..."
"If it is an ordinary mountain fire, it is naturally impossible to reach this level. But if someone induces the magma veins to establish a connection with the fire elemental plane, then it is another story. Not to mention a mountain lake, even a deep lake can do it. Bake it dry..." Gai Wenyan explained the ins and outs of this matter to Carissa in a concise and concise manner.
"It turns out that the area affected by this disaster is so large, and the reasons behind it are so complicated. The gods of nature are sparing no effort to protect us behind the scenes. I'm afraid the gods have many other protective behaviors that we don't know about."
Even though this earth watcher thought he had seen the world and his ability to accept it was far above ordinary people, he was still dumbfounded and had the illusion that he was listening to a fairy tale.
It's not that Gavin is lying, but that the two of them are already in different worlds.
This is the demigod.
One foot is still in the mortal world, and the other foot has stepped into the realm of the gods, and began to interact closely with them.
"Indeed." Gavin agreed.
After frequent dealings with the gods recently, he had to re-examine the role of the gods on the material plane.
They are not simply asking for faith from the material plane, but they are actually holding up a sky for the world, keeping many evil spirits out, and allowing the world to develop stably.
Without the protection of the gods, once it is targeted by those terrifying beings, it can turn this place into a hell on earth in a matter of minutes, or even be dragged directly into the bottomless abyss. This is the purpose of the Dark Prince Graz'zt imprisoning the Goddess of Wealth.
"Building a mountain city on Serenagd Peak is indeed easier for the Goliaths to accept than Misnoel in terms of customs, but the difficulties faced will also be heavy.
Where does heating wood come from? There is a huge temperature difference between day and night. Even in summer, the night temperature does not exceed 20 degrees. In winter, it is covered with ice and snow all year round.
Those who come and go infrequently can still be carried on their backs by manpower. Once the population gathers on a large scale, more than a few will be needed. The same is true for other daily necessities.
The reason why we Goliaths adopt this mountain nomadic lifestyle is not simply because of our personality and customs, but more importantly, it is influenced by the daily necessities! ”
The biggest advantage of opening her eyes to see the world is that it allows Carissa to think outside the box when looking at things, including the old living customs of her tribe. This is why she tries to change.
"I have already considered this. As I just said, the place has been blessed by the gods of nature, especially the Mother Earth who cast an earth stone there. Not only do I no longer have to worry about volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, but I will also Many magic applications can be developed based on it
You have also visited the relaunched City of the Colossus. Are heating and fire issues a problem there? "Gavin asked rhetorically.
"The restarted Colossus City?" Carissa said thoughtfully, "What does the Lord mean, is to build this mountain city into the second Colossus City? Use magic to solve most of the basic needs for survival?"
< br>
"It's not a second Colossus City, but our own magical city." Gavin said with confidence, "We currently have no way to copy many things in Colossus City, but the plasticity of our own unique technology is. Far above the City of the Colossus.
Believe me, the convenience of this mountain city will far exceed your imagination. ”
The construction of the mountain city on Serenagde Peak was not the result of a slap on the head, but careful consideration.
The earth stone alone was worth his investment at any cost, let alone the ability to integrate with the Goliath's nature.
"My knowledge is too short-sighted." Carissa bowed and apologized, "I am still judging the lord with worldly eyes and forgetting his extraordinary methods. I will no longer have any doubts.
Whatever the lord needs from me, just speak and I will do my best to cooperate. ”
"There are three things you need to do now." Gavin said without thinking, "The first is to take in and resettle those who have fled.
It is not only limited to those who fled on their own, but also organized manpower to find those who fled to the kingdoms of Calimshan and Tethyr to prevent them from getting involved in the wars between local forces and becoming vassals and accomplices of those evil creatures. ”
Under the threat of survival, the bottom line of human nature will be broken, and good and evil will be confused.
Gavin will naturally try his best to ensure that this does not happen. Among those kind-hearted forest races, Forest Queen Melikai has personally come forward, and the rest are Goliaths.
Destroying the enemy does not necessarily require force, but can also be done by means of division.
Not only these good races, but also those evil races can be used by Gavin?
The kobolds were recruited by the Lord of Sanoba of Colossus City, and the hobgoblins and goblins were naturally recruited by General Blood Claw of Blood Gap City.
After this series of diversions, the threat posed by the monster army emerging from the marching mountains will be greatly weakened, and they will be allowed to be squashed and rounded. At least in the direction of the Tethyr Kingdom, this will be the case. situation.
In the direction of Calimshan, it must be decided according to the circumstances. Not to mention helping them divert their forces, it would be the most benevolent thing not to send a few hobgoblin warlords to secretly command the monster army.
In the game between kingdoms, there will be no distinction between good and evil.
Because of different interests, what is good for one country is evil for other countries.
Being kind to other countries is the greatest evil to one's own people, especially an aggressive slave country like Calimshan.
In the eyes of the sultans of Calimshan, the citizens of other countries are wealth and slaves.
"This is what we should do." Carissa said without hesitation.
“Secondly, select personnel to form the Goliath Chapter to deal with the war that may break out at any time. This war may not be limited to the Marching Mountains and Mir Forest, and may even require you to intervene in the civil war in the Kingdom of Tethyr. ”
Gavin's integration of Goliaths naturally had a purpose.
In addition to protecting the mountains and preventing them from becoming a source of turmoil, they also want to turn them into powerful war tools and become a powerful foreign aid to Zalanda.
There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of this powerful race, especially when fighting in mountains or climbing cities.
Numbers are their greatest flaw, and once this is compensated for, they will be a formidable infantry force.
Even though the total population is only 3,000, their characteristics of all soldiers allow them to organize at least 500 to 800 combatable soldiers.
"This is natural." Carissa nodded in agreement, "With such a large number of creatures gathering in Misnoel, there are also huge unsafe factors.
Because no one knows whether there are spies lurking among the drow elves, we have to be on guard.
Having a powerful force at hand is the best way to deter those with evil intentions. ”
"It's best that you understand this." Gavin was very satisfied with Carissa's reaction.
With her full assistance, many things will become much easier.
When some things are implemented by insiders, the conflicts caused by outsiders' intervention are much smaller.
This can be regarded as the result of the foreshadowing and precipitation in the past two years. Time and experience will change people's concepts and ideas.
"What about the third one?"
"The third is the work-for-relief I mentioned at the beginning. This situation is not limited to Goliath, but is true for all creatures who take refuge in Misnoel."
Gavin continued, "The expansion of faith is no longer carried out in Mis Noel, but in the Earth Stone on Serenagd Peak. The Mother of the Earth has promised to send blessings to the violent blue bear." Transform into her divine nature and deepen your connection with the earth and mountains. ”
Carissa said excitedly, "If this is the case, it will be easy to convert. Many tribes themselves regard Mother Earth as their mother, and it is natural to believe in her."
"Do you have any other questions?" Gavin asked. (End of chapter)
