Anna's healing magic was problematic, and both her parents, mentors, and other senior priests attributed it to a matter of faith.
To put it mildly, she thought this was a test for her from the crippled god Ilmat.
To put it harshly, it means questioning her lack of piety in her beliefs and lack of hard work in studies.
This left her with no room to express her grievances.
Now that she has found a new direction, a lot of the burden in her heart has been relieved.
However, there is a bit more guilt and self-blame. Although I don’t know the specific function of the life-sharing contract, it is not difficult to judge from the name that the other party used this method to save my life and was seriously injured because of his own reasons.
"There's really nothing we can do about this." Virginia said with regret. "At least I can't help it, I'm not good at this."
"Oh!" Anna flashed a trace of disappointment, and then cheered up, "No matter what, at least I have found the problem, and I will have the right direction to prescribe the right medicine in the future. If it doesn't work, I will use healing spells on myself every day. I believe that one day, sooner or later, The friend who saved me will be cured."
The girl pastor is as optimistic as ever.
This optimistic attitude infected Virginia, "When I get back to Buda, I will look it up and see if I can find any knowledge about this and whether there is any treatment method."
"Then I'll trouble you, Lord." Anna thanked her hurriedly.
"Lord, please explain to Anna the continuation of the Dragon Oak Dreamland, and I will guide people in." Gavin pointed at a dozen small light groups in the center of the square and said, "Wait a minute, you go over there and choose one. Light group, condense the weapons you are good at, and adapt first."
Each of those light clusters is the essence of the imprisoned soul. They are the harvest of Gavin’s experiments in the war zone over the past twenty days.
The Pik Elf girl, who almost fell into autism because of her erotic dream, has almost recovered now. She was looking around and couldn't help but touch a ball of light, which turned into a short soul bow, and she was playing with it curiously.
Seeing Gavin's eyes turning that way, he thought he noticed her, flapped his wings, and swooped away.
It's just that this is the Dragon Oak Dreamland, and many physical laws are useless here.
Dragon Oak Dreamland looks infinitely large, but is actually infinitely small.
No matter how far Nicole ran, she was still in the sight of Gavin and the others.
"Mr. Gavin, you go and do your work. The lord and I will chat for a while." Anna was very fond of Virginia.
Not only because the other party solved the biggest confusion in her life.
Also because of the intimacy from the soul, perhaps, this is related to the fey with whom he signed a life-sharing contract.
"Lord, can you explain the life sharing contract?"
"Okay, life sharing contract..."
"I see……"
"No wonder..."
The topic the two discussed was still Anna's matter. After all, this matter was still a semi-speculation. Her condition was too strange, and even Virginia was not 100% sure.
At least there is a direction, which can be considered an unexpected surprise.
At this moment, Gavin couldn't help but think about his discussion with Virginia about fate again.
Is it the encounter that creates destiny? Or did fate bring about the encounter?
Was his encounter with Virginia in this life a coincidence? Or is it destined?
But this encounter opened up many things for Gavin.
And the people around him have long been connected with the demon wilderness and the fey, but he doesn't know it.
Discussion and dialectics on this kind of topic are destined to be fruitless because they cannot be authenticated.
Soon the third dream soldier was brought in by Gavin.
Unlike the previous two, this one's physical appearance has not changed much and is still the same as before. The only difference is that without the Yaling armor that he never leaves, he looks relatively light and thin, with a large area exposed. Her light gray skin makes her exotic look even more intense, and her long white hair hangs down to her knees.
Stelina's expression was also very indifferent, as if she was very familiar with the dream situation. She probably had the experience of being led into the sea of consciousness by Virginia before.
After nodding towards Gavin, he walked directly towards Virginia without saying anything.
Gavin was used to this. She was a good and loyal guard, but not a good companion.
Most of the time, she is immersed in her own world and doing various exercises.
She also has a melancholic aura similar to Virginia's, but she rarely shows it. She is more armed with armor and indifference, making her seem a bit unhuman and difficult to get along with.
The fourth person brought in by Gavin was not a human, but a devil - the dog demon Andrew, who happened to come back today.
He is Gavin's subordinate with the most average and strongest six-dimensional attributes.
Vitality: 67 (Hit Dice: 9D8+27)
Alignment: Lawful evil
Size: Large
Attributes: Strength 19, Agility 15, Constitution 16, Intelligence 18, Perception 18, Charisma 18
Spell-like abilities: Use at will—levitation, misdirection, projection.
Once per day—Charm Monster, Charm Person, Any Door, and Extreme Fear.
Special powers: Gnating, changing shape (goblin or wolf), moving without a trace, keen sense of smell, damage reduction 15/+1
Now it has returned to its peak state and appears in the Dragon Oak Dreamland as a tall and strong hobgoblin.
"Dream? Lord, you actually created a dream?" The dog demon was amazed and flattered.
Gavin was the fastest-growing person he had ever seen.
Just when you thought you knew him well enough, he turned around and brought you a bunch of new things.
Andrew could feel that this dream had just been constructed recently and was closely related to the Fairy Wilderness and the Dragon Oak.
"How's it going over there at Shanobah?" Another reason why Gavin brought the dog demon here was to let him complete his recovery work here to avoid traveling alone.
"Everything is going according to the master's plan. They have gathered a monster army of nearly 1,500 people, with kobolds as the main force and goblins as the supplement. At present, I have followed a group of wargs and mixed into an army of hobgoblins. tribe, within ten days, this tribe was forced to join their ranks under pressure." The dog demon reported truthfully.
"You must remember to keep your eyes open and don't show off. Once you discover your identity is exposed, immediately make a strategic retreat. Never underestimate your enemies, especially the Zhentarim." Gavin warned.
"Master has taught me about this matter with practical actions. I will not make the same mistake a second time." Andrew nodded seriously. "In addition to the Zhentarim sentry, I also found several familiar photos. Face, a hobgoblin from the mines of Teth'yama."
"Huh?" Gavin raised his brows, not feeling too surprised, "The Tesyama Mine has always been in collusion with the Zhentarim. Most of the ore produced in the mine is sold to the Zhentarim. , the food and equipment in their hands were also supplied by this group of black-hearted merchants. Their monster army appeared in the Zhentarim army. It is normal. Being able to use this level of relationship shows that the Zhentarim members that Shanoba came into contact with He's not an ordinary person, have you found out his identity?"
Fortunately, Gavin was prepared.
So far, Shanobah has not sent back any information.
It wasn't betrayal. If it were betrayal, everything wouldn't go according to Gavin's preset pace.
Instead, the Zhentarim member she dealt with was an experienced old fox.
Although she is used, she is closely guarded and will be with her most of the time, not to mention the spies of the Zhentarim, who must be spread throughout the monster tribe. She has no trustworthy people in her hands, and she cannot escape by herself.
"There is only one name at the moment, Stephanie." The dog demon replied.
"is her!"
For Gavin, many times, a name is enough.
After all, he had been hanging out in the Zhentarim for more than ten years. Most people, especially some of the higher-ups, had at least heard his name even if they didn't know him.
Stephanie is one of those people who has only heard of his name and has no direct contact with him.
The Zhentarim is divided into many factions and grassroots organizations.
Among them, the biggest factional dispute stems from the battle of faith, between the Bane faction and the Cyric faction.
In the next ten years, the faction headed by Manson and worshiping Cyric, the god of conspiracy, occupied an absolute advantage in the Zhentarim. They launched two major purges against the Ban faction, known as Ban. Well massacre.
The Bane faction had to enter a state of secret activity, not only to guard against the enemies of the Zhentarim, but also to guard against the enemies of the factions within the Zhentarim.
In Gavin's previous life, he was a slave to the Cyric faction and was mainly engaged in a series of dirty tasks such as assassinations, gathering intelligence, and cleaning up enemies.
Stephanie belongs to the Bane faction, the leader of a secret monk organization. Gavin is not very clear about his whereabouts in the first ten years.
I often heard this name ten years later. After the rebirth of Bane, the god of tyranny, Bane's faction reversed the situation and gained an absolute advantage. They launched a frantic counterattack against the Cyric faction and led the trial of false god heretics.
She is a standard Bane believer, cold, authoritarian, and ruthless. The trials she leads often break the opponent's jaw first, and then read out the other party's charges, asking the other party to plead guilty and send them to the gallows.
Unexpectedly, in this life, I would be handed over so early.
Thinking carefully about the situation of the Zhentarim, it seems to be expected.
After all, the Cyric faction has just emerged as the god of conspiracy Cyric became a god last year. It is growing its own power. It is expanding its believers and its power in and around Zhentil Fort. It has not expanded outward at all. thoughts.
It seems logical that those relatively weak grassroots organizations of the Bane faction should stay as far away from the center of the storm as possible and explore new interests in the Zhentarim such as Rockland.
An enemy that uses dictatorship, dictatorship, and violence as its weapons is far easier to predict and prevent than those opponents who are constantly using various underhanded methods.
you know?
As soon as this question reached the Dog Demon's lips, he swallowed it back. This question was obviously beyond the scope of what he should ask. A wise devil only has the information that his master allows him to master.
So, when the words came to my mouth, it turned into: "Master, are there any other things to pay attention to?"
"Your main investigation direction in the future is the caravans that the Zhentarim will transport to the monster tribes to transport various supplies and food. Write down their names for me." Gavin's plan is interconnected. of.
Of course, I won't simply rely on Sanoba as a chess piece.
The most important thing is to turn them from darkness to light, so that it can be convenient for you to continuously attack and weaken the Zhentarim's strength on the high road.
Unlike the ostentation on the Black Road, the Zhentarim on the High Road all operate in the shadows. Including the caravans, no one knows which one is controlled by the Zhentarim behind the scenes. It is very important to distinguish them from ordinary caravans.
Only when he finds the target can he have any plan.
For this purpose, even Shanoba didn't know it, but the dog demon just knew it.
You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis:
