Virginia, as the lord of the Spring Bud Forest, is not just a title, but a real person who is in sync with, interacts with and influences each other with the Spring Bud Forest.
When she fell into a deep sleep, the entire Chunya Forest looked languid and filled with mist.
When she fell into sadness, the entire Chunya Forest became a bit dull and drizzle continued.
When she fell into joy, the whole spring bud forest was filled with flowers and the weather was cool.
At this moment, the Spring Bud Forest exudes a lazy atmosphere, and everything seems to have just woken up from a deep sleep.
"Ma Qi, let Lord Gavin come in." Lord Virginia's lazy voice came from inside.
"I know, Lord." Ma Qi threatened angrily, "Lord has just woken up, and his spirit and strength have not been fully restored. Don't waste too much time. In the Fairy Wilderness, a Lord fell into a deep sleep.
It is a very dangerous thing for the entire territory. Fortunately, those evil forces were not prepared, otherwise we would have been very passive in the situation we faced."
Although Xiao Yaling didn't have a good look towards him, what he said was true. Gavin nodded and said: "I'm really sorry last time. I didn't know there would be such serious consequences. I must pay attention next time. No,
There will be no next time. This time, I will keep the story short and strive for a quick resolution."
Ma Qi showed an expression that meant you were wise, pushed open the thick tree door and said: "Go in."
When Gavin walked in, Lord Virginia was already sitting on the lord's chair.
The seat was not made of vines, but a giant tree, recessed and formed naturally. There were armrests formed by vines on both sides. Virginia, who was sitting in it, felt like she was surrounded by the giant tree.
Holding him in his arms, their breaths almost blended into one.
Virginia exudes the same lazy atmosphere as the spring bud forest, like a spring sleeping begonia, delicate and delicate, but not refined, giving people a pleasing feeling.
The already fair face was a bit abnormally pale, and it was obvious that the injured vitality had not yet fully recovered.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Gavin felt guilty again and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, Lord, I really didn't expect that establishing the dragon oak portal would cost you so much."
This kind of sincere ally who helps oneself regardless of expense is not rare in the world, it is indeed rare.
Especially Gavin, who used to hang around in the dark intelligence network, I have seen more people who stabbed allies in the back and held back their allies for their own benefit. Breaking the alliance is as simple as drinking cold water, and he still swears by it.
They say that covenants are meant to be broken.
At the beginning, Gavin had a similar mentality towards the Virginia lord.
Now that I think about it, I feel a little embarrassed.
The moral realms of the two are not on the same level.
Lord Virginia smiled and said: "Don't thank me too early. It won't be long before you have to taste the consequences of this matter. The useless giant will never give up the dragon scale oak tree so easily. Where are you?"
, will become the main attack direction of the Ruinous Giant for a long time in the future, and you are now guarding the door for me."
"I only want a few doors like this, not too many." Gavin said this as a joke.
It is estimated that the Virginia lord does not know how valuable the dragon scale oak is to the kobolds and Gavin. It is even more valuable than the young dragon Ivinsa.
It will become a watershed in Gavin's control of the kobolds, divided into before and after possession.
"Okay, if there is such a gate, I will leave it to you to guard next time." Virginia also treated the truth as a joke, "Tell me, what happened this time?"
"It's okay. Counting the time, you should be awake. Take the time to come over and express your gratitude." Virginia's weak appearance at this moment really made Gavin a little embarrassed to open his mouth.
The main reason is that he has no idea whether Lord Virginia has this ability.
"Ha..." Virginia's laughter was a bit meaningful, and her smiling eyes seemed to be saying, your little tricks can't fool me at all.
After being stared at by Virginia for so many minutes, Gavin couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his hands and surrendered: "Okay, it is indeed a small matter. I captured a person from the Zhentarim alive. He is a dragonborn and tried to use it.
With her own identity, she came to my territory to cause destruction, but I couldn't tell whether she was a senior Zhentarim or a peripheral member they hired at will.
If it's the latter, once I find a way to get her to surrender, I can take the opportunity to lay a trap and wait for the top brass of the Zhentarim to come to my door."
"Aren't you a psychic?" Virginia had a look of confusion on her face. "Isn't manipulating the mind your specialty?"
There are relatively few psychics in the continent of Faerûn, and even Virginia, who is well-informed, still has prejudices and misunderstandings about them.
Gavin explained helplessly: "Psychics are divided into different types like mages. I chose the self-shaping type, which is proficient in controlling oneself. It is not the kind of confusion and control type that is good at controlling other people's minds."
"That's it." Virginia nodded and said, "Actually, the spells are interlinked. As long as you are proficient in one, it is not difficult to discover the second. Unless you choose the opposite profession when choosing a profession, and take the initiative to divest yourself.
This connection with the Magic Network is used to enhance other abilities, otherwise they can be learned.
Judging from the abilities you have displayed, you have not completely jumped out of this category.
Why not, I will teach you the charm of human beings, and you can try it and see if you can transform it into psychic powers."
This suggestion immediately moved Gavin's heart, and he couldn't help but suspect that Virginia was reading his mind again.
What he wants to leave is not a pure psychic, but an arcana master combined with a mage.
This advanced profession has a prerequisite, which is that it can cast second-level abilities and second-level spells at the same time.
Psion, has reached the standard.
If you upgrade further, you will need to accumulate mage professional levels.
It's just that unlike warlocks, mages have very high external learning requirements. Even if they start the mage profession through the magic network and obtain the corresponding spell inheritance, whether they can be used or not is still a question.
Because spells involve a series of knowledge such as spell model construction, spell rune identification, spell casting material preparation, spell memory, spell fingerprints, etc.
If you don't study systematically and just explore on your own, you will be blind, let alone complex high-level spells, second-level and third-level spells.
Yes, in Faerûn, the mage has the highest threshold among the regular professions, but similarly, the upper limit is also the highest, once you step into the legend.
Compared with other professions, the mage profession is like entering two worlds.
There is nothing that a mage can't do, including ascending to the gods and killing gods.
Karsus's Ascension Technique is a typical example of this. Although he only ascended to God for a few seconds and then fell, this at least represents a possibility.
For this reason, the second-generation magic goddess had to reshape the magic network and impose heavy restrictions on spells above the ninth level.
This is not a good thing for high-level mages, especially mages who have entered the stage of legend.
But for the entire plane of Toril and all living beings, it is a great thing that benefits the country and the people.
At least no one will throw out a legendary spell comparable to an inter-American missile or even a nuclear bomb on a whim or in anger.
All in all, psions are for short- and medium-term planning, while mages are for long-term planning.
Originally, Gavin had been thinking about where to find a mage mentor for himself.
It's not that he hasn't thought about the legendary mage Elminster in Shadow Valley, but just thinking about it, where he really went and whether he could enter his mage tower was still a question.
Moreover, this person is a star in the North, and he attracts a lot of attention wherever he goes, including those who are related to him.
Gavin didn't want to provoke unknown enemies, especially when he was still weak.
He even had an idea of the retired battle mage Khalsa whom Bede knew.
Now there is a better choice, a ready-made Elephant Mage is right in front of you.
Thoughts were running through his mind, but Gavin put a smile on his face first and said: "The lord is willing to teach, that is my greatest honor, but learning magic is very cumbersome. Even if I am talented, I can't learn it in a short time."
, you can learn it..."
The implication is obvious: distant water cannot save nearby fire.
"If it's other magic, it's really not that easy for you to learn, but with the charm spell, you have an innate advantage." Virginia explained, "What's more, my teaching method is different from ordinary teaching.
It should be faster."
The Lord of Virginia once again stretched out his slender, long and fair hands.
Gavin understood it in his heart, and he was preparing to pass it on quickly through the intersection of consciousness.
Regarding this matter, Gavin not only had no psychological barriers, he even had a taste for it. The last soul-melting experience was still fresh in his mind.
The two hands clasped together, and there was an electric shock-like numbness again, but this time, Gavin did not let go, but held it tighter.
The two spirits and consciousnesses came into contact again.
It's just that this time, it's a little different from the last time.
A faint roar of a dragon came from Gavin's sea of consciousness. The shadow of the dragon oak tree swayed, creating a powerful and irresistible suction force that drew the two people's consciousness into Gavin's sea of consciousness.
Non-Virginian.
wrong.
It's not Gavin's sea of consciousness.
It's from the dragon oak mother tree.
Gavin and Virginia only felt the sound in their ears getting louder and louder, as if an ancient dragon was roaring in their ears.
The roar of the dragon was guiding them, going back through the years, to the moment when the mother dragon oak tree was born. They seemed to be floating in the clouds, watching everything.
A super-giant red copper dragon is entrenched in the dragon's nest, dim and dull, with a thick copper-green color on its incomplete dragon scales, just like an old statue, and its deep and dim eyes all show its old age.
This is the legendary dragon Frederick, who cast his deep gaze in the direction of Gavin and Virginia's souls, seeming to see through time and see them.
At this moment, Gavin felt like he had become a witness to time.
Witness how Frederick swallowed his own treasure.
How to give birth to the dragon scale oak tree from his own heart.
How the Dragon Scale Oak grows luxuriantly at an astonishing speed, forming a unique biota.
Countless creatures built nests on and around it, lived, raised their offspring, and then died, with their bodies becoming its nutrients.
It witnessed the creation of the Spring Bud Forest from scratch.
It witnessed the war between various fey and various evil creatures.
It witnessed the eladrins moving into the Spring Bud Forest, taking root here, and building the Spring Bud Castle.
It witnessed a pair of sweet lovers meeting, chasing and laughing on its trunk - an eladrin and a half-elf.
That eladrin was clearly Virginia, a younger version of Virginia, full of vigor and immaturity.
The back of the half-elf made Gavin feel inexplicably familiar.
The other party's head turned back without a doubt, which gave Gavin the feeling of seeing a ghost.
Because the other person's face is the same as mine.
What's going on?
Are you the reincarnation of the Virginia Lord's lover?
No, no.
There must be something wrong somewhere.
If you are really the reincarnation of the other person's lover and look exactly like the other person's lover, you should show it to the other person when they meet for the first time.
At that time, although Lord Virginia's attitude towards him was not as indifferent as towards ordinary people, it was not too enthusiastic. At most, he looked at him differently because he noticed that the line of destiny on his body was somewhat unique.
Moreover, after the soul fusion last time, Gavin saw that figure with his own eyes. He should be a relatively tall human being.
Could it be that something went wrong during the last soul fusion?
