With the instigation and support of Shar, the goddess of the night, Cyric, the god of conspiracy, sneaked into the heart of the spell and murdered the goddess of magic Midnight, causing the magic network to collapse and triggering an unimaginable catastrophe.
The magic web is also called the magic web.
In Toril, most people believe that it was created by Mystra, the first goddess of magic. This statement is correct, but it is not accurate.
The magic web has always existed, because magic elements run through all corners of the multiverse. Every stone, every river, every living creature, and even the air contains magic and has its own operating rules. This is
The most basic magic network.
Mystra is only further processed on this basis to form a magic network that is convenient for those who cast spells to perceive the elements.
The emergence of the Magic Network has made the threshold for casting spells in the plane of Toril even lower. People who were originally unable to cast spells have mastered the secrets of magic.
In view of this convenience, the divine magic given by the gods to their servants is also transmitted through this network - this kind of magic is called divine magic.
When the first-generation Mystra was shaping the Magic Network, she integrated the priesthood of the Goddess of Magic with the essence of the Magic Network. When the third-generation Magic Goddess was assassinated at midnight, the priesthood and the essence of the Magic Network were separated, causing the complete collapse of the Magic Network.
The collapse of the magic network is by no means as simple as the spellcaster losing the spellcasting network.
The gods also lost their magical transmission network.
The balance of the elements was also completely disrupted.
The churning elements rolled up a storm that destroyed the heaven and the earth, swallowing up everything in its path, tearing it to pieces, melting it, and inlaying it. This elemental storm was also called blue flame because of its blue color. It was called blue back then.
Year of Fire.
The gods were also affected, especially the magical pantheon.
The Goddess of Magic Midnight fell, the Heart of the Kingdom of God's Spell disintegrated, the God of Prophecy Sulfras died, the Mage God Azuth and the Demigod Lich Velshalon were thrown into the stars. Thousands of
The mage fell into madness.
Many planes have also been displaced or destroyed.
Only powerful divine power can protect one's own kingdom from being destroyed, and all other gods' kingdoms will be affected.
The blue flame swept across all of Toril, especially Faerûn.
The Arcane Tribulation reshaped the earth, making it rumble and rise and fall like the sea. A curtain of blue flames swept across the earth, splitting the mountains and rivers, lifting the plains and shaping them into new ridges.
The fragments of the continent broke away from gravity and turned into floating islands suspended in the sky.
The Arcane Tribulation destroyed all magic items in Halua, the country of wizards, causing a violent explosion.
Even Waterdeep, thousands of kilometers away, felt the explosion.
The violent explosion sent Toril's Maztec continent into the sister plane Eberron.
Eberron's Cord continent was dragged to Toril.
Everything has been drastically changed.
For ordinary creatures, swapping is a fatal disaster, and the number of survivors is less than one in 100,000.
The seabed of the Starfall Sea collapsed, and seawater poured into the huge dark area below. The water level dropped by fifteen meters, and the area was reduced by half.
…
Lord Virginia suddenly let go of Gavin's hand, tears streaming down her face.
She read part of the information from the previous contact. Just the fragmented picture made her tremble uncontrollably.
The scene was really tragic.
Under the blue flame, not to mention human power, even the gods are like ants, unable to stop the coming disaster.
Although there is no Fairy Wilderness in those pictures, as one of the echoes of the material plane, when a devastating disaster occurs on the material plane, how can it escape?
At this moment, Lord Virginia has completely believed Gavin, believed in the dream he mentioned, and even believed that this dream is the future - if Gavin, the fate reshaper, cannot reshape fate.
But does the young man in front of me really have this ability?
…
This kind of soul fusion perception is not one-sided.
When Lord Virginia sensed Gavin's memories.
Gavin was also sensing the Virginia Lord's.
From her heart, what Gavin felt was deep sadness and longing, and the lingering figure of a man from behind.
Gavin couldn't help but want to see the man's back clearly, and followed him involuntarily, but as he approached, the man's back seemed to be moving forward, getting deeper and deeper.
Until the man's back disappeared, leaving only him standing there alone.
When Gavin turned around and wanted to walk back, he suddenly discovered that the man's back appeared behind him, and he came face to face with him and bumped into each other.
When he came back to his senses again, the man's back disappeared again.
From the beginning to the end, Gavin could not see the man clearly.
Immediately, the green tide surged forward, pouring into the soul consciousness, and some were just full of vitality and joy.
At this time, the two people's hands had already loosened their grip.
Gavin was a little confused. He didn't know how much information Lord Virginia had read from him, nor did he know what the back of the man he just perceived was.
…
Virginia's ability to control herself was very strong, and her gaffe only lasted a few seconds before she regained control of her emotions and leaned forward and said, "Previously, I had sensed that Lord Gavin had been burdened with a heavy fate, but I didn't expect that...
This kind of fate is so heavy. The road you have to walk is not a single-plank bridge, but a knife edge, or even a mantis' arm blocking the car..."
"I know." Gavin said calmly, "But there are some things that must be done by someone. Even if the hope is extremely slim, will the lord do nothing because of this and wait for fate to come?"
"I have learned a lesson." Lord Virginia said sincerely, "In this aspect, you think more than I do, and you see farther. You are my teacher, I, Virginia *Aval* Madeleine
, I am willing to make a covenant with you to fight against this disaster together, without any regrets."
Lord Virginia once again stretched out his hand, but this time, it was shining with bright light, and countless mysterious runes were flowing.
This is not a verbal contract, this is a real magical contract. Once signed, violation will be punished by the laws of nature.
Gavin stretched out his right hand without hesitation and said solemnly: "I, Gavin Nott, am willing to enter into an alliance with you."
Hold hands.
Gavin felt something being pulled out of his body and entering the other person's body through the hand he held.
Similarly, a green energy was injected into his body, dyeing him green out of thin air.
A line of small golden characters slowly emerged in the sea of his consciousness.
Fairy Wilderness Contract: You signed a contract with Virginia, the lord of the Fairy Wilderness. From then on, the Fairy Wilderness will be your closest friend. You are protected by the power of the Fairy Wilderness. You can freely walk through the natural woodlands. All kindness
The fey will naturally have a favorable impression of you, and you gain the limited ability to use Fairy Steps (five times per day). All evil fey will regard you as an enemy.
Gavin felt that today, he was too weak to count the benefits.
wrong.
It should be said that it was the past few days.
Lord Virginia is simply his goddess of luck. All the benefits he obtains are either given by her or are directly or indirectly related to her.
And this Fairy Wilderness Contract is the biggest harvest of all.
Needless to say, Fairy Steps, Elephant Spirit's innate ability is similar to the Flash Technique.
If used well, the melee combat ability can be pushed to a new peak. Qiufeng Blani, led by Sterina, is one of the best.
The only flaw is that it cannot be used casually like a real Eldest Spirit, but it is an unexpected gain after all.
A contract allows you to use other people's racial abilities. It is impossible to ask for more, otherwise it would be too greedy.
Freely walking through the forest is just like the druid's special ability to walk through the forest. You can walk on thorny plants, dense woods or similar terrain without suffering any damage or hindrance. This ability is quite practical.
In Gavin's view, the most valuable thing is that all kind-hearted spirits will have a favorable impression of him.
This means that when he recruits fey in the future, he will have a natural bonus and be more likely to succeed.
Kobolds are only experts at mining, but the felves are more talented at farming.
Fey are not only found in the Fey Wilderness, but also in the material plane, especially in the forest. Not far from the rocky land, there is one of the largest forests in Faerûn - the Corsoman Forest.
As for the hostility of the evil fey, Gavin simply ignored it. Those guys, even if they didn't have this, would still find trouble for themselves. Otherwise, how could they be called evil? It was just a deeper or shallower hatred.
"Now that the contract has been signed, Lord, can you talk about your entire plan in detail?" Lord Virginia waved his hand and created a table and chairs in the sea of consciousness, looking like he was going to have a long conversation.
Although in the sea of consciousness, there is no difference between standing and sitting.
Due to habit, sitting always feels more formal than standing, especially for military and national events.
"Strength is the most important thing, not only personal strength, but also collective strength." Gavin replied without thinking, "Without enough strength, everything else is in vain."
"Of course I know this. Can you be more specific, such as your development plan in Yandi?" Virginia is still concerned about the development of Yandi. After all, it is closely related to her own vital interests.
Being willing to help Gai Wen does not mean giving up one's own interests unconditionally, especially since Chunya Forest is still facing internal and external troubles. If these problems are not solved, talking about a catastrophe in the future will be a bit too far away.
Gavin originally wanted to talk freely about his entire grand plan in Faerûn, because so far, everything has been thought up and planned by him alone, and he has never talked about it with anyone. Lord Virginia
Now, there is no one who knows his situation best.
But the Lord of Virginia brought Gavin back to reality with a stick, and plans could never keep up with changes.
Don't say anything else.
The baby dragon Ivinsa was not on his plan. Because of her appearance, Gavin had already adjusted the kobold development plan for several times.
The Fairy Wilderness is not even in Gavin's plan. What has happened in the past few days has been like a dream. The harvest and strength growth rate are the sum of the past few months.
My overall plan in the rock field needs to be adjusted to a new level.
Lord Virginia is not that easy to fool.
Instead of drawing a pie, it's better to talk to her about something more practical.
Gavin's thoughts wandered, and he coughed twice and said: "If we want to talk about Rockland, we must first talk about the surrounding political situation. How much does the lord know about the outside world?"
"In general, I understand part of it. To the north is the arcane empire of Netheril and the Faerim. The desert of Aenook was created by the magical war thousands of years ago. To the south is the forest kingdom of Cormyr. To the east is the
The Corsoman Forest and the Valley, and the Goblin Frontier to the west.
Due to its special terrain, the rocky land is now a control zone of the Kingdom of Cormyr. Except for important trade routes where some troops are stationed, the rest is abandoned and left to the mercenaries to freely develop. I heard that it can help the Kingdom of Cormyr conquer the rocky land.
Will be canonized as a baron.
What you want to take is not this path, but using kobolds to find a shortcut, right?"
Lord Virginia's eyes on the material plane spread wider and further than Gavin imagined. At least he understood some things on the surface.
In this way, Gavin didn't need to waste any more words, nodded and said: "Yes, the rocky land is in a special situation. Conquering it from the outside by force is much higher than rising from the inside. Especially the land here is not suitable for large-scale farming. Even if it is conquered by force,
Not many humans are willing to migrate here.
As time goes by, it will still be abandoned, and various monster communities will migrate back and slowly return to their original state.
Kobolds are different. They naturally like to dig holes, and are also suitable for living in mines and rocky areas, which are rich in minerals. They can be used as territorial citizens in the future to squeeze out the living space of other monster groups, and finally drive them away completely.
Now that preliminary results have been achieved, the next step is to build on this foundation to become bigger and stronger.
It's just that the food of the Black Well Tribe is mainly transported from outside. This can only solve the urgent need, not a long-term solution..."
Lord Virginia made it clear, "You want to buy some grain from the Spring Bud Forest."
