The root of the gods trampled under the feet by the giant claws of the dragon oak tree, it is difficult to see the original outline. It has been submerged by the rotten material disintegrating from its own body. The giant claws are like stepping on a rotten quagmire. From time to time, there are monsters, in
One of them emerged, roared unwillingly, struggled to escape, and was soon submerged again.
Staring at it for a long time is definitely a visual challenge.
Fortunately, there is no need to suffer its olfactory impact, as a dark green protective shield isolates it.
This isolation is comprehensive, not only above ground but also underground, in order to prevent corrupt forces from seeping out and escaping.
Even for the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, the Root of the Gods is quite large. If you want to eat it dry and wipe it clean, it cannot be completed in ten and a half days.
The transformation process of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree will also be the process of digesting the root of the gods.
As soon as Gavin returned to the Mother Dragon Oak Tree, he was once again dragged into the control room of the Mother Dragon Oak Tree by Lord Virginia.
Looking at the other party's expression, Gavin couldn't help but smile and said: "What good news is there this time that you can't wait to share it with me?"
"How did you know I had good news?" Virginia's bright eyes were full of curiosity.
"How long has it been since you looked in the mirror? Look in the mirror and see what you look like now." Gavin waved his hand, and a floor-length mirror appeared in front of Lord Virginia.
Lord Virginia couldn't help but look at the beautiful reflection in the mirror carefully, and felt a bit strange.
It's not an illusion caused by staring at her own image for a long time, but her appearance has changed and adjusted at some point. It's very subtle, but it's enough to make a drastic change in one's temperament.
Her original appearance tended to be as gentle as water, moisturizing things quietly, but now she is more calm and self-confident, especially when she frowns.
In addition, there is also a dream-like atmosphere, a bit hazy and unreal.
But at this moment, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her eyebrows were flashing with excitement. She looked like a little girl who had just received candy and wanted to share it with those closest to her. It was no wonder that Gavin guessed her thoughts at a glance.
.
Lord Virginia couldn't help but look in the mirror, adjusted his expression, and tried to look serious. But when his eyes fell on Gavin, everything returned to the way it was before. Repeatedly, they all ended in failure.
Lord Virginia suddenly complained, "It's not all your fault. There are some things that I can't tell anyone except sharing them with you."
"Okay, okay, blame me, blame me, tell me, what kind of good news is it? It makes you so happy?" Gavin wisely did not reason with the Virginia lord. That kind of thing that brings disgrace to the scenery is a straight man of steel.
Only then can you do it.
"Let me show you something good!" Lord Virginia waved his hand, and the surrounding emerald green life force converged, revealing a dreamlike light spot in the center. The size and texture of this light spot were a bit erratic.
, it seems to be only the size of a grain of rice at first glance, then it looks like a baby's fist, and the next second it is only the size of a peanut.
At that point of light, Gavin felt something strange, like an aggregation of countless strange images. Countless weird thoughts and images were rushing through his mind. They were not real, but had long been forgotten by him.
How long has it been a dream?
Without the suppressive package of the emerald green life force, this light spot immediately began to tremble violently, as if it wanted to fly away, but countless green energy lines emerged, like vine ropes, binding it tightly and inlaying it in the original place.
land.
Gavin looked shocked and said: "Divinity? Isn't this the dream divinity?"
The first time he saw this light spot, Gavin recognized their identity, because he had been dealing with this kind of thing a lot recently.
"That's right." Lord Virginia confirmed his guess, "It was just spawned from the Dragon Oak Dreamland. It actually wanted to escape and was restrained by me."
"Intercepting divinity, you are really brave enough. Fortunately, Toril does not have a deity closely related to dreams. The only goddess Leila who is most closely related to dreams was murdered by Cyric, the god of conspiracy last year.
Otherwise, not only will you not be able to intercept it, but you will even incur the wrath of a true god. However, it is best not to let any god, including other people, know about this matter." Gavin took a deep breath and said seriously.
warned, "Because this is not just a bit of dream divinity, but a spark of divinity!"
Holding divinity and intercepting divinity are two completely different concepts.
The former is not uncommon among mortals. For example, artifacts are fully divine, and some divine creatures are mostly related to the grace and gifts of gods.
The immortal divinity possessed by the Weizeme Manor and the corrupted divinity possessed by the roots of gods that are now trampled under the Dragon Oak Mother Tree all belong to the category of possessing divinity, and they also belong to evil gods whose strength has been severely damaged. They themselves
Now that there is no strength to recover, it is difficult for other gods to feel it when it has nothing to do with their own priesthood, and they will not easily intervene, because this kind of divinity is useless to them because it will conflict with their essential divinity.
In terms of integrating divinity, those mortal things have more advantages.
"Divine spark?" Lord Virginia's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
There is a very key factor for a mortal to ascend to the gods - to ignite his own divine spark.
But what is the Divine Spark? How to get the Divine Spark?
The gods are very taboo about this, let alone mortals, even the legendary priests and servants of the gods are hesitant and unable to explain clearly.
Some are even more evasive and do not discuss this issue with ordinary people at all.
"That's right, this is a divine firework, the divine spark that can activate the dream priesthood!" Gavin nodded with great certainty, his expression serious but with unconcealable ecstasy. He couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "Gods
There is no secret about the spark of divinity, but it does not prevent mortals from having their own speculations about it. In recent times, I have been in frequent contact with the gods, and I have been exposed to the divinity of immortality, the divinity of corruption and the divinity of strategy. It inspired me
This explains my speculation on this matter.
The so-called spark of divinity is definitely not as simple as divinity. Otherwise, the gods would have gone everywhere long ago, and the gods could use their divinity to create a bunch of gods at will.
Think about it, in the process of the gods fighting, what is the most serious contention?"
"Godhead?" Lord Virginia was thoughtful, but as soon as he spoke, he immediately denied it, "It's not godhead. Godhead is just the condensed divine power. It is a specific measure of a god's power. It is a priesthood.
God’s ministry!”
"Yes, it is the priesthood. Midnight inherited the magic priesthood from the goddess of magic and became a god. Cyric obtained conspiracy, fear, deception, illusion and many other priesthoods before he became a true god. But Kelanvor has not yet completely mastered the death priesthood.
, so he is still just a demigod." The more Gavin analyzed, the more excited he became, because they now have a piece of top-secret information that was originally held by the gods and a few talents. "These few are not representative yet, but the most representative
Sexually, she is still the goddess of strategy who was deified in Tethyr.
Behind her stands an extremely powerful god, Tempus, the god of war, but he still wants to wander around the material plane. Why?
It is to show his strategy and planning ability to the world, so as to forge his own strategy, plan his priesthood, and then ignite his own divine spark.
The priesthood is actually a continuous channel to obtain divinity, and this channel can be collectively called the spark of divinity.
Isn’t that the meaning behind this divinity?”
Lord Virginia thought about it, isn't it like this?
Since the Dragon Oak Dreamland can give birth to the first point of divinity, it can also give birth to the second point and the third point, as long as its influence continues to expand.
After taking a deep breath, Lord Virginia's expression became solemn, and he whispered: "You have convinced me about this matter. What do you think we should do now? How to deal with this divine spark?"
"What else can we do? Of course, hide it. Could it be that you still want to dedicate it to a certain god? Hey... It's a crime to have a jade. After dedicating it, our dragon oak dream will not be completely free.
We make the decision." Gavin replied without thinking, "Our current strength is too weak, and using it to ascend to the gods is not a good choice. It will attract countless powerful prying eyes and rob us.
Increase the strength of the seal, try to prevent its aura from leaking, and at the same time speed up the growth of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. I am worried that this matter cannot be hidden for too long.
Although the goddess of illusions most closely related to the dream clergy has died, the elven goddess of prophecy and illusions, Sehani Moonbow, and the dwarf spy body Barrivan Shadow Cloak all have illusion-related clergy. They are likely to
Heartfelt feelings.
Compared with them, what I am most worried about is attracting the prying eyes of other powerful monsters in the dream.
This dream divinity will allow the Dragon Oak Dream to break its island-like existence, attract the arrival of other dreams and creatures in it, and even connect with the Dream Realm."
"I will further strengthen the defense capabilities of the Dragon Oak Dream." Lord Virginia said with a cold look in his eyes, "No one can take away the Dragon Oak Dream from our hands, not even if I die."
Now the Mother Dragon Oak Tree is everything to her, and the Dragon Oak Dreamland is the key among the keys. Touching it is like touching the life of Lord Virginia. When necessary, she does not lack the courage to die with both stone and stone.
Gavin obviously knew this, and after waking up the Virginia lord, he didn't get too entangled in this matter.
Because even if this divine spark really needs to be used in the future, it will not be him, but Lord Virginia.
Although he is one of the founders of Dragon Oak Dreamland, Lord Virginia owes the most to the organization and operation of Dragon Oak Dreamland, so she has the energy to devote herself to it.
Even if he forcibly uses this divine spark to become the God of Dreams, he is still unqualified. He will weaken in a short time, and even if he is not deprived of his priesthood, he will be taken away from him.
Priesthood is also selective, and not everyone can inherit or obtain it.
In the end, Gavin couldn't help but warned, "It is a good thing to create a divine spark, but don't be too affected by this matter. In the short term, it is not our focus. We will continue to grow the dragon according to our original plan."
Oak Dreamland, transforming the dragon oak mother tree into a real war machine, is our most important thing at the moment. As long as this plan is successful, the rest will fall into place, including igniting the spark of divinity and becoming the true god of dreams."
Lord Virginia responded to Gavin with an extremely charming sweep and said: "Do you think I don't even have this bit of self-control? Don't worry, I know how to do this. By the way, there's also good news.
I want to tell you that I have found a way to help you relieve your worries about your purchase."
"What method?" When Gavin heard this, he immediately became energetic. Although the dream divine spark is a good thing, it is too high-end for them at present. In a short period of time, it will only cause the hidden danger of right and wrong, so it cannot be used too much.
Useful, but the cargo Lord Virginia mentioned was different.
The kind that can immediately start building an elite army as long as they are relieved of their worries.
This cargo was naturally none other than the same cargo that had been used by the Zhentarim Guild, which led to the dispatch of several legendary strongmen, and the first Bane massacre broke out in advance.
"It will be more intuitive for you to go over there and see for yourself." As they spoke, the two of them had already appeared in the sealed storage room.
This is no longer a world of life force, but a world of corrupt power.
The strong and substantial power of corruption, while devouring the life force here, also impregnates the equipment, especially the distinctive personal magic mark on it, which is disintegrating bit by bit.
At first glance, you can tell that this kind of erosion has been going on for a while. Most of the treasures have been soaked. Only a few relatively powerful magic items are left with the magic marks of legendary casters. The erosion and dyeing is relatively
Trouble, it's not completely finished yet.
However, these magic marks are rootless duckweeds. Even if they are from legendary spellcasters, their power is relatively limited, and it will be corroded sooner or later.
Gavin understood what was going on as soon as he saw it, and laughed loudly: "This method is wonderful. It not only solves the problem of the personal imprint above, but also blames it on the cultists of Moando. No matter how we trace it, it will not work."
We can't trace it to our head, so those legendary casters are probably still confused by now.
Maybe, Comanso's Moando servants will be unlucky again, and they will be purged without knowing why.
When the time comes, let Luna absorb the corrupt power from these equipments, and they will be renewed for my use."
Gavin knew, however, that there was a small town called Yulas between Zhentil Castle and the Far Mountain City. It was once secretly controlled by Moando's servants, and there were many secret tunnels under the high ground where it was located.
and lairs, most of which were dug by Moando's servants.
But the battle between Zhentil Castle and Yuanshan City destroyed the city, and at the same time destroyed the secret control of Moando's servants.
These cultists have always held a grudge against this, and have often assassinated both of them. Now that they are being blamed, everything is logical.
Lord Virginia smiled and nodded: "The most difficult thing in this matter is not to break their marks, but how to prevent them from finding the source based on the characteristics of their power. However, the magic marks can be eliminated in this way, and the physical marks can be eliminated in this way.
, you can only figure it out yourself."
"This is natural." Gavin said with regret. "Unfortunately, they cannot be transported to Darauma in Tethyr. Otherwise, this matter would be simpler and more useful. I could have done it there first.
We will arm the border with an army and carry out armed immigration."
"It will definitely be difficult to transport all this cargo, but if we want to transport only a part of the urgently needed goods, there are still ways to think of it." The Virginia lord took out a cloth bag and threw it to Gavin.
He said, "As for its origin, I have found out. This is not an ordinary creation, but a bait released by an evil thing called the Nightmare Snake that can devour all things. In other words, this is what it preys on."
method, once you put an item into it, there is a certain chance of it being lost. If you reach in rashly, you are likely to be grabbed and swallowed. Because it is a living creature, your Destroy Evil will be of no use to it, but you can
Try turning it into a dead object, and then try destroying evil."
This bag is none other than one of Gavin's rewards for disposing of cursed items for the Hammer of Justice Monastery - the man-eating bag.
Due to the ineffectiveness of his efforts to destroy the evil at that time, and its ability to disguise itself as a dimensional bag, Gavin was very moved, so he took it back and gave it to the Lord of Virginia to assist in research and find its roots.
Many things will be much easier to handle as long as we find the root and source.
After listening to Lord Virginia's explanation, Gavin knew what to do. He took out a roast chicken directly from his Howard carrying bag and threw it into the man-eating bag.
There was no response from the man-eating bag, and Gavin was not in a hurry. After waiting for a while, he threw another piece of barbecue into it.
This time, he clearly felt the abnormal movements coming from the man-eating bag, like a creature swallowing.
Gavin was not in a hurry. He threw bits and pieces of food into it and walked towards the kobold's canteen. When he got there, he continued to throw all kinds of raw food into the cannibal bag, while talking about
After hearing the news, the kobold manager of the big canteen said: "Prepare two goats for me, empty out the internal organs, stuff them all in, and then sew them up."
What was piled in front of the kobold manager was a pile of dragon vibration bombs, no less than ten in number, and each goat could fit at least five into its belly.
"Wait a moment, Lord." The kobold manager, without asking Gavin why, summoned a bunch of kobolds and went to execute it.
This is the advantage of kobolds. Although they are a little naive and a little stupid, they are obedient enough to do whatever they are asked to do in just one sentence without asking the root cause.
The efficiency was not slow. It only took ten minutes for the kobold manager to bring a group of kobolds back and carry two goat carcasses.
