This situation occurred only because of the intervention of the Vizeme Manor.
There is another reason, that is, under the erosion of negative energy, the initial consciousness of the five willow trees was obviously incomplete.
Not to mention becoming an enlightened tree person, becoming an enlightened tree is a problem.
But if you fuse the five initial consciousnesses together and become a tree person, it is more than enough.
Therefore, Gavin now appears to be enlightening five trees at the same time.
In fact, the whole process is no different from enlightening a tree.
He is very curious now. When the enlightenment is completed, what form will the five willow trees take?
Could it be that like Voltron, two make up the legs, two make up the arms, and one makes up the torso and head?
After the enlightenment of the five willow trees was completed, the remaining task of absorbing and channeling negative energy became a mindless task that did not require Gavin's participation at all, but he had no way to escape.
In desperation, I can only find something to do for myself.
I was just about to find an opportunity to contact Zalanda, so I couldn’t leave empty-handed.
Since it starts with a military book, then use the military book as a gift for re-contact.
The last time he was short of time, he only had enough time to recall and write a book, but that didn't mean he had only read this book. If he dug carefully, he could dig out a lot of good things.
The Seven Books of Martial Arts chosen at that time contained various strategic knowledge, mostly theoretical and rarely involving military training.
The idea at the time was very simple. Zalanda was born in a knight family. She had been trained by the Nott militia since she was a child. She had rich experience in actual combat and military training. She didn't really need these. What she needed was an overall view and a strategic perspective to help her avoid detours.
Another reason is the existence of magic.
Magic is rarely used in daily life, but it is used much more frequently in wars, especially in the regular army. If there are no wizards or warlocks who can cast fireballs in a regular army of a hundred people, it is not worthy of being called one.
regular army.
Not to mention legendary warriors, even extraordinary warriors will have a decisive impact on local conflicts. Therefore, many tactics are developed around these powerful warriors.
Therefore, the military training manuals that I know are not practical.
After experiencing so many things, Gavin's thoughts changed again.
Military books are originally used for reference. How much they can be applied in practice depends on personal ability.
If his ability is insufficient, no matter how many military books he reads, Zhao Kuo will still be an armchair strategist. When he gets to the battlefield, he will be completely defeated.
If you have enough ability, even if it is a military manual from another world, you can draw inferences from one example and expand your thinking.
Therefore, this time, Gavin chose something related to military training, the military training record of the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang.
Even Gavin didn't bother to change the background above, he just moved it anyway.
The fantasy experiences of the past six months have made Gavin want to understand one thing. There is no need to be secretive about the things he knows about another world, as long as he finds a relatively reasonable reason.
Faerûn has a lot of magic that can do this.
For example, the old mage Elminster, according to legend, often went to other worlds to visit old friends, drink tea and chat, including the earth.
This time, we still plan to transcribe the original version in Chinese, but we will not prepare any notes or translations.
I just came back last time, and my thinking hasn't changed yet, so I forgot about magic.
Understanding language is just a first-level spell, a spell that the caster knows.
This spell can be given to the caster to temporarily read or understand a language that he originally did not understand, but he cannot write or speak it.
The process of digging out military training records is also a process of review and thinking. See if there is anything you can learn from.
After all, he will have soldiers to train, cities to build, land to cultivate, and people to protect.
In the end, I will never stop doing one or the other.
Start by digging and sifting through the memories of the first three lives from beginning to end, filtering out all the things that will be useful to you in the future, and storing them in key points. If you want to use them in the future, just grab them.
But if this happens, the workload will be greater.
By the time the purification is completed, the work is not even one percent complete.
This is a long-term job, and he will dig in slowly when he has time. In just a few days, he feels that he has gained a lot, and some things he had forgotten have come back.
"Brother Gavin, you are finally awake. You are hungry or thirsty. Come on, come on, eat something first." When Gavin opened his eyes, what he saw was August's concerned face.
After such a reminder, Gavin suddenly felt hungry. When he saw a pile of food placed in front of him, he was not polite. While stuffing it into his mouth, he asked: "How many days have it been in total?"
"Three days and two nights."
"General Copperfield, where are they?"
"After dealing with the corpses of the refugees, he was originally going to protect you here personally, but I drove him back. Since he is preparing to move to the village, there must be a lot of things for him to prepare, and he can't help here."
"Thank you sir, you have helped me a lot." Gavin hurriedly thanked him. He was most worried that Copperfield would lose his mind and stay here with him stupidly.
Fortunately, Copperfield was only too obsessed with some things, and at other times, he could distinguish between priorities and urgency.
A commander who can struggle for so many years in a dangerous place surrounded by wolves is definitely not an ordinary person.
"Are you okay?" August couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, except for being a little hungry, everything else is fine." Gavin said as he stood up and moved his muscles. Sitting motionless for so long was a bit too much for even a warrior.
"Look at your shadow." August couldn't help but remind him kindly.
"My shadow? What's wrong with my shadow..." Gavin turned around to look for the shadow, and the question came to an abrupt end, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that his shadow was abnormal.
The shadow, shade, and inclination of a normal person are related to the lighting.
Gavin's shadow is obviously not the case now.
The color is pitch black, as rich as ink, and it branches out into four thick and long tubes, connecting the other four willow trees.
It looks like a weirdo with extremely long arms and legs.
Anyone who unexpectedly sees his own shadow transformed into such a virtuous person will feel a little uncomfortable all over his body.
When Gavin focused his attention on the shadow, a mysterious feeling surged into his heart. He could feel the close connection between himself and the shadow. He seemed to be able to control it, just like controlling his own arm.
Same.
Change back to the original.
Gavin gave orders to Shadow.
The large, distorted shadow retracted like a tide, and within a few seconds, it returned to what a normal shadow should look like.
At least most of it is normal.
If you look carefully, you can still see the difference.
Gavin's shadow was too rich in color and gave off a cold aura.
This change, in the eyes of others, is even more creepy.
Fortunately, the people present were not ordinary people, otherwise many people would jump up in fear even if they didn't faint.
August asked incredulously: "Controlling shadows?"
"It's about manipulating the shadow. I guided the negative energy into the Vizeme Manor before. The negative energy activated my shadow and I can control it to a certain extent." Gavin has communicated with the sea of consciousness and found the root cause.
Manipulating Shadow (Special Ability) - Under the infusion of a large amount of negative energy, your shadow is activated. You can control your shadow with your own will and let it act according to your will.
After all, this matter happened under the eyes of everyone. There was no way to hide it, and there was nothing to hide.
"Can you also obtain special abilities in this way?" August's eyes widened. This was the first time he heard that in addition to divine gifts, extraordinary rewards and professional level improvements, he could also obtain special abilities.
And it sounds so simple.
As long as there is a large amount of negative energy infused, it seems that everyone can activate this special ability.
But if you think about it carefully, that's not the case at all.
Many people can guide negative energy, but it is difficult to master how to inject it into the shadow to the extent that it activates special abilities.
And Gavin's previous situation seemed impossible to imitate.
After all, it involves a ghost manor, enlightenment and a group of trees with unique conditions.
Apart from being extremely lucky, August couldn't think of another adjective.
If August knew that most of Gavin's special abilities were not obtained by upgrading his professional level, he would be shocked.
"I didn't expect this to happen." Gavin spread his hands, looking innocent.
This situation is unexpected and reasonable.
The shadow itself is the existence closest to the shadow and is most closely related to negative energy.
With so much negative energy transported through your own shadow, wonderful changes will definitely occur.
Many masters of negative energy use are masters of shadow control, and there are many shadow-related monsters in the shadow plane.
Manipulating shadows is just the basic introductory ability to this ability.
As far as Gavin knows, there is a special assassin profession that is good at using shadows to assassinate.
August's curiosity was completely aroused, and he asked: "To what extent do you control shadows? Can you transform and bind people?"
If it can be done to this extent, it will be an excellent auxiliary ability for melee combat.
Give the enemy a cold shock, which is probably enough for him to endure.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, August felt that he was being abrupt and said quickly: "Sorry, sorry, sorry, this matter involves personal privacy, you don't need to answer."
"Sir, you are too unconventional. I can't trust others, and I can't trust you either," Gavin said with a careless smile, "But as you can see, I have just gained this ability and haven't had time to test it yet. I don't have any idea.
Why don't you, sir, try it out for yourself and do an experiment for me?"
To be honest, Gavin himself is also very curious about how far this ability can go.
Only with a corresponding target can you see the experimental results, especially a powerful target like August.
"Okay." August moved his hands and feet enthusiastically, and there was a clicking sound in the joints. "It just so happens that we haven't had a chance to move our muscles and bones these past few days, so why don't we take the opportunity to make some gestures."
"Say it in advance and stick to it." Gavin also wanted to know to what extent his combat effectiveness had been restored.
As he spoke, he summoned the battle armor, and at the same time drew out the Crown Shield and Death Roar.
"Hey... didn't you just say it's better? How did you take that thing out?" Seeing the death roar, August suddenly felt a little scared.
It was a terrifying thing that blasted the vampire's head with one shot and broke the vampire's bone breastplate.
Even if he was hit like this on his own shield, he would be so distressed that he would scratch his liver and lungs.
"Sorry, I'm used to it, I'm used to it." Gavin smiled awkwardly, hurriedly stuffed the Death Roar back, and pulled out the rarely used magic sword.
"Your death roar is a bit confusing. When did a thing made by a dwarf become so powerful and reliable? When I have time, I will get two of them." After Gavin was so frightened, Oger
Ste's interest dropped a lot on the spot.
When banning someone's most powerful weapon, this kind of comparison is unfair and a bit bullying.
The professional levels of both sides were displayed there, and the other party was missing ten professional levels.
