In the prime of life, old age, and extremely old, they can simply describe the age and status of the dragon.
But in ancient times, in ancient times and ancient times, its description was not simply about the age and state of the dragon, but was directly related to the years, just like it represents the literal meaning.
There are no ancient dragons less than 800 years old, and the ancient dragons start a thousand years ago. The ancient dragons are at least ancient existences that have shocked the entire continent for more than 1,200 years.
Even if a mortal lives for more than 1,200 years, he can still become extraordinary, let alone a highly intelligent dragon that will continue to grow as long as it lives.
Even if you don't have the power to destroy the world, it cannot be measured by common sense. It is not uncommon to have thirty+ hit dice or even a large number of professional levels.
Just look at the fame and wealth he has.
One thing is certain, that is, the greater the reputation of the dragon, the more extraordinary its strength is.
Feiyan is not the most famous among the ancient red dragons, not to mention the Dragon of the Gods Tchazzar, even Klaus, who is known as the Roaring Old Dragon and is so powerful in the North, is not as famous as him, but he is definitely not.
It is not wrong that he is an unknown person, but it is because he has not been seen for a century.
There are legends that he is dead, and there are also legends that he has left Faerûn and gone to other material planes or outer planes to cause trouble.
But Gavin knew that the ancient red dragon had neither died nor left Faerûn, but had entered dragon sleep in one of his lairs. He would be killed by the Lich, the leader of the Dragon Worship Cult in 1373.
Sammaster woke up from the dragon madness rolled up, succumbed to the influence of dragon madness, and burned all the way to the vicinity of the Lake of Steam. In Selmer City and Minta City, he used his dragon breath to wash the ground, set the entire city on fire, and killed
More than half of the residents of each city died, and then disappeared without a trace again.
Just be careful and don't wake that guy up. You can't stop planting beans just because you heard a rabbit calling.
If that were the case, there would be no need for development. There are similar powerful beings in most places in Faerûn.
Gavin's cold reaction made Village Chief Jinbao feel a little embarrassed. He laughed and said: "Maybe he is worrying too much. Since the Baron can recruit kobolds as servants on a large scale, he must have known about it for a long time. Those ancient
Red dragons often sleep for centuries. Who knows when Dong will wake up? God, the Giant Plains are dominated by monsters. It is not easy to meet a relatively normal neighbor. He does not want our city.
Destroyed."
"Dwarfs, a bunch of damn dwarfs."
"Dwarfs are not a bunch of damn liars, real good gnomes are not dwarfs, kill them."
"How could a group of dwarfs have the guts to come to their city?"
"They should warn the kobold king that all gnomes are liars and not be deceived by their sweet talk."
Seeing the dwarf convoy, the reaction of the kobolds was somewhat fierce. There was a fierce light in their eyes that could not be concealed. Many of them couldn't help but surrounded them. Some even untied their slings. If
Of course, Gavin and Shanobah stood side by side with them, fearing that they had already started to attack.
Gavin looked at Chief Jinbao with some surprise and said, "Has our village of Querosa provoked the kobolds in the Troll Mountains before?"
The dwarf village chief had a look of helplessness on his face, "The hatred between kobolds and dwarfs does not originate from the secular world, but from their racial gods. Their racial gods are the vigilant protector Galglisten Gold."
, once because of a joke, the original cave of Kurtumak, the god of the kobold race, was collapsed. From that time on, all the kobolds had a natural hatred and distrust of the dwarfs, and added them to their territory.
It is easy for overlap to occur, and naturally conflicts are more likely to occur. He can guarantee that since the establishment of their Querosai Village, they have not had any conflicts with anyone, including the kobolds in the Troll Mountains."
"Is that so?" Gavin nodded in understanding, "As long as there is no direct conflict between us, it will be easy to handle. Lord Sanoba, I don't need him to teach me what to do next, right?"
The black dragon girl raised her head and said: "No need, because since joining the dwarf statue city, they no longer need the god of the race. They have one belief, then it is the Dragon Oak Territory, then it is the lord."
"It's not him, it's the Dragon Oak Mother Tree." Gavin corrected, wanting to reshape a race, not just to deny the body, but also to have spiritual beliefs, and to shape the Dragon Oak Mother Tree into the new faith of the kobolds in his territory.
, whether it has been decided from the beginning, the dragon oak mother tree has also shown its potential in that regard, because she can carry the soul imprint, and after the dragon oak dreamland is opened, can it directly carry the soul.
Experiments have proven that the souls of the kobolds who left their soul marks on the Dragon Oak Mother Tree will no longer go to the kingdom of the god of their race after death, but will go to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and the Dragon Oak Dreamland, where they will use the spirit of the dream.
Appear in body form.
Now that the Dragon Oak Mother Tree is in an upgraded state, Gavin cannot channel her power. Otherwise, in the previous scene, the Dragon Oak Mother Tree will inevitably intervene and take the opportunity to collect a wave of kobold soul marks.
You can make up for that matter afterwards, so you don't have to worry too much about waste.
Just look at the reaction of the kobolds from the Dragon Oak Territory. They looked at the dwarfs with vigilance and did not show the hatred that came from their bones.
"Ming Hong, loyalty belongs to the Lord, and faith belongs to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree." The black dragon girl corrected her obediently.
After hearing their wrong words, Jin Bao couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said, "Are we afraid of incurring the wrath and revenge of the kobold god Kurtumak by doing this?"
Compared with their behavior of directly digging into the corner of Kurmatuk's faith, Gal Flash Gold's incident of collapsing the original Ascension God Cave in the wrong direction can be forgiven.
Gavin showed a sly smile and said: "They just gave those kobolds one more belief. They did not completely deny the fact that Kurtumac was the god of the kobold race, and they never denied that he was the origin of the entire kobold race.
, Where does his anger come from? The ability of kobolds to serve the dragon was not given by him. Their behavior of strengthening the kobold race is glorifying him. Even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, they will be dissatisfied because of it.
endured.”
There are subtle differences between the God of race and the God of faith.
The former is often related to the origin of that species. In myths and legends, they are usually the first born of that race, and they are also the creators of that race. Their blood flows in their bodies, and there is something in their souls.
Belongs to his preferences and personality.
For them, faith is not so urgent. What they pursue is the development and growth of the entire tribe. The greater their number, the stronger their power.
Compared with the few kobold souls that Gavin has stolen now, the number of kobolds born due to the development and growth of his Dragon Oak Territory is even greater. If there is no large-scale death of dragon oak collar kobolds, Kurtu
Does Mark not feel that many kobold souls that originally belonged to him have been stolen.
The dwarf village chief made a general gesture of praise to Gavin and said: "The Baron is smart. They look forward to the day when we succeed. After all, they don't want to fight with the kobolds every day. It is very meaningless and inferior.
Let’s each draw on our strengths and join forces to find a better life.”
"Oh, what do I mean by whether each can draw on his or her own strengths?" Gavin followed the conversation. There were some things that he couldn't take the initiative to speak about. He had to wait for the other party to take the initiative.
"Lord Baron, I am very pleased." Jinbao glanced around, as if he was afraid of prying eyes, took out a jewelry box from his arms, handed it to Gai Wen and said, "Before that, please take a look at what's inside."
thing."
After taking the jewelry box, Gavin did not open it immediately, but said with a smile: "If he guessed correctly, the magic ring or necklace contained in it should be made of recycled gems, right?"
In addition to being famous for their inventions and creations, the dwarves are also the best in Faerûn for their gems and craftsmen.
They even have a very special profession, gem seekers.
That profession is extremely good at finding gemstone veins, mining various gemstones, and is also good at processing and producing gemstones.
The dwarf village takes root in the monster-infested mountains. It must run a gigantic farm, or it must have the unique gem there - the troll gem.
"My Lord Baron's guess was very wrong." Village Chief Jinbao nodded and admitted, "Then the regeneration ring they made using the local specialty gemstones."
Just as the wrong party explained, Gavin had already opened the jewelry box. There was not just one ring inside, but a whole row of five rings in total.
The shape is very unique. The silver ring is covered with small runes that can barely be distinguished by the naked eye. The ring is inlaid with carefully polished recycled gemstones. The ring is exactly the same, but the sizes of the recycled gemstones inlaid on it are different.
They range from the size of rice grains to the size of peanuts.
Before processing, a regenerated gemstone of that size has one to five points of rapid medical ability. I wonder what effect it has after processing?
Lesser Rapid Medical Ring: The wearer of this ring will gain one point of rapid medical ability and the ability to treat minor injuries once a day.
But that one has the power of the lowest grade recycled gemstone ring the size of a grain of rice.
After being processed by the dwarfs, those gems were originally very powerful and possessed healing spells. That power would not only be useful to themselves, but could also benefit others. Needless to say, practicality.
Just for treating minor injuries once a day, the ring is worth more than a thousand gold coins, because the price of a bottle of potion for treating minor injuries ranges from thirty to fifty gold coins. Is it a one-time consumable? And that ring
The ring can be used once a day, not to mention it has the ability to bring rapid medical treatment to the wearer.
The four rings left by Dong are called the intermediate rapid medical ring (two points of rapid medical ability and one treatment of moderate injuries), the advanced rapid medical ring (three points of rapid medical ability and one treatment of serious injuries), and the powerful rapid medical ring (four points of rapid medical ability and one treatment of serious injuries).
Medical treatment and one time to cure fatal wounds), Extremely fast medical ring (five points of fast medical treatment and two times to cure fatal wounds).
Their value has skyrocketed from one thousand gold coins to twenty-five thousand gold coins.
That's not enough. Village Chief Jinbao turned around and took out another jewelry box. There were also five rings in it. Inlaid inside were real recycled gemstones, ranging from the size of corn kernels to the size of quails.
It is the size of a dove egg and is called a regeneration ring.
It is also divided into five types: secondary, intermediate, advanced, strong and extremely effective. In addition to the necessary power of the gem itself, the first three are likely to be able to perform one to three limited regeneration spells. That kind of regeneration spell can
It is enough to reattach a limb, but it does not allow the subject to regenerate the severed limb. Strong and extremely effective, each has the ability to use the regeneration technique once or twice.
The price starts at 30,000, but can double up. The extremely effective regeneration ring can be sold for 150,000 gold coins in the market, and it's very easy to get a head start.
Regeneration is a seventh-level spell that can only be used by level 14 priests. Not to mention its role, it can not only bring the dead back to life, but can also continue to fight again, and can also benefit one's own teammates. Although regeneration is not as powerful as trolls,
But the problem doesn't have the troll's fatal flaw of being afraid of strong acid and fire.
After making a rough valuation of those magic rings.
Gavin felt a buzzing in his forehead, and an uncontrollable numbness from his feet to his head. It turned out to be a high level of excitement.
Adding to the various regeneration gems that were seized from the Troll's leg, and the various regeneration gems presented by the kobolds, he had more than two hundred gems in his leg.
Apart from anything else, if there are any regeneration gems that can be used to make powerful and extremely effective regeneration rings, he has at least thirty of them in his legs, not to mention there are more than a dozen larger regeneration gems in his legs.
.
If they were not all made into regeneration rings, the value would definitely exceed tens of millions, which is a full five times higher than Gavin's original valuation of more than two million.
Sure enough, in that world, the most profitable business is never to sell raw materials, but to make finished products, wiping out all the value.
The value of the Dwarf Statue City lies in Minamoto Te's own valuation. If it is managed well, it will be extremely easy to earn millions of dollars a year.
His heart was so excited that he almost jumped out of his chest, but Gavin used the powerful control power of the Psionist Diversity to pass the two jewelry boxes to Jinbao Village without moving, regardless of his body or expression.
Chang asked, "Do I want to cooperate with them and use the recycled gemstones in his legs to make those kind of recycled rings for sale?"
"That's right." The head of the dwarf village carefully put the two jewelry boxes back into his arms, rubbed his legs and chuckled, "Lord Baron, they are bragging to us, and no one knows the properties of regenerated gems.
We must have the gem craftsmen in their village of Querose. They did not hesitate to move the entire village there to study the gems for a hundred years before they could achieve the kind of leg skills they have now. If I can remove our legs from the giant
He handed over the regeneration gems seized from the devil to them for processing. He promised that none of them would be wasted and that they would all be made into regeneration rings for us. Well, if not, we can give them a few of the skeletons of the noble trolls.
Even better, recycled gemstones are the best match for them."
"How do you calculate the processing fee?" Gavin asked. In that world, there was no lunch for Hong.
"We provide the raw materials, they provide the leg skills, and the finished products are sold and divided 50-50," said Shishi, the head of Jinbao Village.
"Why don't we go grab it?" It was not Gavin who spoke, but Shanobah. She didn't know the value of the recycled gemstones and the rings just now, but her instincts made her think the price was too outrageous.
, "We just process something and want to directly eat half of the profit. How can there be such a good thing in the world? Don't brag about yourself so much. If there are more gem craftsmen in the world, they don't believe that they have mastered the raw materials.
It’s hard to find a suitable processor. Even if it causes waste, it doesn’t matter. At the very least, the benefits will be greater than leaving it to us.”
"What do you mean, Lord Baron?" Village Chief Jinbao stared at Gavin, who was not the real owner of this place.
"Shanoba will be the lord of the Dwarf Statue City. She will have full authority to handle the affairs there in the future. There are very few opportunities for him to directly intervene in the affairs there. If not, I can't convince her, and their cooperation will be impossible."
It went smoothly." Although Gavin is not a good player in this area, he knows how to seize the opportunity. Since Shanoba has jumped out, let her continue to be in the front and compete with her opponent on the price.
Let’s talk about it later.
Anyway, he now knows the true value of the regeneration gem. With the right research direction, it will be much simpler. It just takes a little effort to find out whether he has an ace in his leg that he can use - the legendary arcanist Philancy.
Ni.
"That deal sounds outrageous, but their centuries-old leg art involves a lot of scientific research expenses. Countless recycled gems are wasted. We are just eating what's ready. If you don't believe it, we can find someone to study it.
Yes, the external structure of the regenerated gemstone is unstable. If it is not specially treated, after long-term wear and use, once the external power fails, it will become a useless waste stone, and after they have processed it into a regenerated ring,
With regenerated gemstones, there is no need to worry about that." Regarding whether to strive for greater benefits for himself, the village chief Jinbao revealed a little about the shortcomings of regenerated gemstones, "That is also the reason why the number of regenerated gemstones has not increased.
"
"We can't let them bear the scientific research expenses for us for a hundred years, right?" Shanobao couldn't tell what the scientific research costs were, and directly objected arbitrarily, "Research on regenerated gemstones is something we do voluntarily, and it has nothing to do with them. If not,
We have no sincerity in cooperation at all, and cooperation cannot be negotiated. Our leg skills are even more popular, and Honghong has been studying them for so many years. He thinks that I can offer a high price, which is more reasonable."
"Thirty-seven points, they are three, we are seven, that's alright, right?" Village Chief Jinbao gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, making a big concession. He felt that he was a bit wrong, and the wrong way was a bit unsatisfactory, so he directly
If you don't accept the offer, there will be no way to negotiate the sale.
