The relationship between the Lizard Queen and the Spirit Naga happened to meet the conditions for opening this special field. Gavin naturally took the opportunity to activate it. In order to speed up the process, Gavin did not hesitate to consume a lot of shadow power. Anyway, his current ghost power There is enough shadow power, and if you waste a little bit of it, it won't be as painful as scratching your liver and lungs at the beginning.
In this realm, after the spirit naga is killed by the Lizard Queen, there will be no substantial loss, and it can be quickly resurrected, and the damage received is not only limited to the body, but also directly penetrates into the soul.
Spirit Naga Alhassan has been tortured to death by the Lizard Queen countless times, and his spirit has completely collapsed. This is not purgatory, but it is countless times more terrifying than purgatory.
Compared to never-ending torture, is freedom nothing?
Besides, he has no freedom here. Instead of doing this, it would be better for the Soul Stone to be controlled by someone else. At least he doesn't have to face the Lizard Queen, a pervert who hates him to the core.
"As long as you are willing to hand over the Soul Stone and help me control Thun Swamp and the lizardman army there, I will resurrect you so that you and Kurgol will never meet again." Gavin shook out his own True intentions.
It is more efficient when the inside and outside are combined, and the spirit naga is the real leader of the Lizard Court. His understanding of Thun Swamp and the lizard people is far better than that of Kurgol, the lizard queen, because only Only by making yourself useful to her can you get closer to the center of power and find opportunities to destroy the Soul Stone.
"I do, I do, I do." Without saying a word, the spirit naga directly mobilized the strength of his body, and wisps of black mist floated out from his body and gathered into a ball in front of him.
A black spar the size of an ostrich egg came from nothing. What is it if it's not his soul stone?
"Please accept it, Lord. From now on, Lord Lord is my master. I am willing to use all my life's knowledge to serve Lord Lord. It is my unshirkable responsibility to dedicate Thun Swamp to Lord Lord." Spirit Naga He took the initiative to send his soul stone to Gavin. The smile on his face was as flattering and humble as he wanted. The soul stone floating in the air kept sending it to Gavin, like People who ask for help and give gifts are extremely afraid that the person concerned will not accept them.
A few days ago, in order to regain the Soul Stone, the Spirit Naga could be said to have exhausted all his life's energy and knowledge. This has to be said to be a great irony.
Gavin did not reach out to take it, but the power of shadows wrapped around it and swallowed up the Soul Stone. As soon as he took hold of it, he knew that the Soul Stone was real.
Before returning, Gavin specially collected and supplemented information on the unique magical race of Naga.
This race can be said to be immortal, and it is even difficult to kill them with ordinary methods because they can be resurrected indefinitely.
The only way to kill them is to use the Nine-ring Wish Technique to kill them, and then use precise words to block their infinite resurrection. After their death, they will not leave a physical body behind, only a piece of it. Egg-shaped stones of different colors (depending on the type of Naga). This stone is the soul stone of the Nagas. It is also called the Naga Stone. These stones are natural magic equipment that can make the holder Some people use some of the Naga's abilities during their lifetime, and through special magic techniques, they can even summon a completely reset Naga of the same species that is loyal to you, but the new Naga does not have all the memories of the previous one. As well as acquired knowledge and abilities, there are only the most basic racial characteristics and abilities.
Take the spirit naga in front of you as an example. Now he is a legendary spirit naga. If he is killed and reset, he will only have a dozen life dice left. I don’t know about other abilities. At least He will definitely lose Mordenkainen's Great Disintegration, because this is not Naga's innate spell-like ability, but something he studied and learned.
All in all, for Naga, the soul stone is their core, and the body is just a carrier shaped by magic power.
Once the Soul Stone falls into the hands of others, they will be controlled by others.
There are generally two ways to obtain the Soul Stone of a Spirit Naga.
The first is to control him, use magical means to forcibly extract his soul consciousness, and condense it into a soul stone. However, this method requires strong professionalism. There is no such aspect in the information about Naga collected by Gavin. The knowledge, especially the difficulty of extracting the soul stone from the body of a legendary spirit naga, is probably not that high. Even if he is now under Gavin's complete control, but through the shadow rebirth and the naga's soul, Stone's self-rebirth are two completely different concepts.
The second method is to let Naga gather himself willingly and hand over his soul stone like this.
It makes no difference whether this willingness is based on respect or fear. Compared with respect, fear is simpler and more crude, and it has faster effects.
The only sequelae is that his loyalty is forced, and if given the chance, he will stab himself without hesitation just like he did with the Lizard Queen in order to regain his freedom.
Gavin struck a warning: "If you try to do anything wrong, or fail to do your job, don't blame me for sending you back again. You will be imprisoned with Kurgol. You only have one chance, and the next time will be forever."
"No, absolutely not. I know the location of all the treasures in Kurgol, and I know all the secrets of Thun Swamp. I will dig them all out and offer them to the lord, as long as I can make that damn fat dragon I will do my best to deal with the things that hurt me." The spirit naga promised emphatically. If it weren't for the fact that he had no hands, his chest would probably have banged loudly.
Just like the Lizard Queen vented her anger on him, when the spirit naga could not blame Gavin, he could only direct his hatred at the Lizard Queen. On his own, he obviously had no way to cause physical harm to the Lizard Queen. So, We can only start from the soul. For a giant dragon, touching its wealth is the most fatal harm to her soul.
"Tell me what you know about Thun Swamp, especially how many lizardmen are controlled by the Lizard King? Apart from you and Kurgol, are there any other core figures? If I want to take charge of the lizards Wang Ting, where do you think I should start?" Gavin cannot deny the oaths of the spirit naga. Anyone who believes in these chaotic and evil oaths will be close to death. He only uses them, but never believes them. They use their suggestions carefully rather than blindly adopt them. Not to mention him, even the six-armed snake demon and Daphne are like this. At best, it is because of their excellent performance in the past period that they have given them Their limited autonomy does not mean that they can safely entrust their backs to them like they trust Zalanda and Catherine.
Including the recent period, he has adopted more suggestions from the six-armed snake demon. Although many of them are chaotic evil methods, they are indeed very beneficial to him. The ones he just adopted, such as locking the Lizard Queen and the Spirit Naga together, are not simple. It is to use the hatred of the Lizard Queen towards the spirit naga to carry out inhumane revenge and torture on him. At the same time, it is also a precise use of the anger that the spirit naga has constantly generated towards the lizard queen in the process, and in turn vents the anger to Thun. Swamp, venting to her royal court, this is a strategic method - to sow discord.
The spirit naga quickly replied without thinking: "Before the war, the Lizard King's court had a total of twenty-three half-black dragon lizardmen and more than two hundred evil-toothed lizardmen. They were all direct descendants of the Lizard Queen. They were killed by a They are led by the legendary half-black dragon lizardman named Gregory. They are the key to the Lizard King's control of the Thun Swamp. Usually, half of them will take turns serving Kurgor in the royal court, so that the Lizard Queen can control and train them.
The other half is distributed among the lizardman tribes throughout the Thun Swamp. Those lizardman tribes as vassals are directly controlled by them. There are fifteen large tribes with more than a thousand people, all of which have relatively fixed spheres of influence. Fifteen tribes take turns paying tribute once a month. They not only have to contribute their wealth to the greedy fat dragon, but also satisfy her greedy appetite for two days. In fact, the lord has chosen the wrong path from the beginning. Don’t you Killing the controlling lizard queen should be done in secret, but in public. "
The Lizard Queen of the Lizard King's Court is not qualified, but this vizier is quite qualified. He can be said to have a clear understanding of the Lizard King's family background. Think about it, even if it is rough rule, it is still rule, and you must have your own Run the system, otherwise it is just a basin of loose sand.
The Lizard Queen's method of controlling the Lizard King's court is simple and crude. She directly uses the family bloodline method. After she gives birth to a group of half-black dragon lizardmen, she then lets these half-black dragon lizardmen create more dragon-veined lizardmen, which is what the spirit naga calls her. of evil-toothed lizardmen, and then transformed these evil-toothed lizardmen into a tribe of black-scaled lizardmen for their own use.
In fact, before this, Gavin had come into contact with a similar existence, that is, the half-blue dragon hobgoblin Sarold who surrendered to him on the battleship of the Basilisk Human Slavery Group. He was born with the blood of Moremi. The composition model is basically similar to that of the Lizard King's Court, except that they are a combination of blue dragons and hobgoblins, and their scale is not comparable to that of the Lizard King's Court.
It would only take a hundred years for Kurgor to establish his own Lizard King's Court, but the Blood of Moremi originated more than three centuries ago, before the Silver Moon Alliance was officially established, and they did not act alone, but with the blue dragon This family business is carried out in a family model. There are as many as four known blue dragons alone, three of which are males.
As for the number of half-blue dragon hobgoblins and dragon-veined hobgoblins, except for the four blue dragons of Moremi's blood, even members of this organization don't know. Due to the nature of the dragons, although they are a whole, they are each The development of forces is carried out separately, and many of the Moremi blood did not stay in the nest, but went outside to perform various tasks like Sarod. Three centuries is long enough, even for a human couple. It's enough to give birth to a family, let alone a giant dragon. Don't forget, whether they are half-dragons or dragon-veined ones, they are all immortal species and have far more lives than ordinary creatures.
Males have an advantage over females in making half-dragon offspring, because at the same time, males can impregnate dozens or even hundreds of female individuals, while females can only impregnate one at a time.
However, in terms of survival rate and quality, the half-dragon descendants conceived by females are higher than those of males.
Because the process of a half-dragon hybrid born from a female dragon is basically similar to that of pure blood, except that the pregnancy and incubation periods are shortened by half. Even so, it is at least more than a year. During this process, the half-dragon Absorb enough nutrients to grow, and you will naturally be stronger and more inclined to the dragon after birth.
Those half-dragon hybrids conceived by humanoid creatures have the same reproductive methods as their race, egg-laying and viviparous.
Those born from eggs are relatively easy to say, because the number of eggs they lay is much higher than normal, but those born from fetuses are more troublesome. It is basically impossible to give birth normally because the fetus is too large, far beyond the possibility of normal delivery. Caesarean section.
As for the caesarean section in Faerun, it is completely different from the one on earth. There are no specialized doctors or surgeries here. Just cut open the belly with a knife and it is done. There is no anesthetic or any pre-examination. Pay attention to it. A little bit, they will hire a special priest to wait, cast a healing spell, and just pour a bottle of healing potion without being particular. Whether the pregnant woman can survive depends on whether the pregnant woman's own life is hard enough, and there are even some of the above two. None.
Don't worry, this is not the most brutal one. The most brutal caesarean section does not come from the outside, but from the inside. Those conceived babies do it on their own. They cut open the mother's body directly from the inside, just like breaking an eggshell. And they treat their mother's body just like they treat eggshells. They stuff it into their stomachs while it's still warm to get the first and most important nutrients in their lives, and half-dragon babies Have this ability.
There are countless interracial love crystallizations in Fernando, but there are also countless mixed races born as a result of tragedy. Don’t talk about ethics. When reproductive isolation between races does not exist, some tragedies will be inevitable. of.
This kind of half-dragon born from humanoid creatures is born with insufficient nutrition. Compared with those born from giant dragon females, both the survival rate and the upper limit of growth will be inferior. This is true for half-black dragon lizardmen and half-blue. The comparison can be seen in the dragon hobgoblin. Not to mention the half-black dragon lizardman, even the second-level evil-toothed lizardmen have no dragon wings, but their physiques are comparable to those of the half-blue dragon hobgoblin.
Gavin still clearly remembers the attribute adjustment bonuses of the half-blue dragon template: Strength +8, Agility +2, Constitution +4, Intelligence +2, and Charisma +2.
If the half-blue dragon who was born with insufficient nutrition was like this, wouldn't these half-black dragon lizardmen who were previously well-nourished be even more terrifying?
This is another important reason why Gavin is determined to eat these lizardmen in Thun Swamp. Their value is not just in Thun Swamp, but in the valley.
Don’t forget the convenience of the Asaba River. As long as a large inland navy can be established, his influence can sweep across the entire valley along this river. In Faerun, if there is no underwater combat capability, this navy will The combat power is destined to be very limited and can barely protect itself. If you want to use this to expand, don't think about it. Those enemies with huge amphibious naval forces will make your fleet flinch.
Unless they can be equipped with a large number of extraordinary mages, possessing mass destruction spells that can pose a threat to underwater enemies, or, like the ships captured by the Basilisk Human Slavery Group, possess a no-submersible mystery lock to force the enemy to the surface. , but it is not 100% safe. Since there is a way to break every spell, it is far inferior to having your own water troops to guard and carry out coordinated operations combining water forces and ships.
Gavin compared the information he had with the contribution of the spirit naga, and asked curiously: "Tell me your reasons?"
"Although most of the lizardmen in Thun Swamp have the blood of the Lizard Queen, her most important tool to maintain her rule is not family affection but fear. Moreover, she is too greedy. In recent years, her appetite has become bigger and bigger, and she has become everything The lizard tribe is under heavy load. No matter how hard they hunt and capture, they will never be able to accumulate any wealth, and their stomachs will always be half full. If the lizard queen is still there, they will neither dare to be angry nor speak out. But once the Lizard Queen dies, the situation will be different, but it is not too late now, as long as the lord proves to them that the Lizard Queen is dead and will never return to Thun Swamp to prove to them that she is Bikull Gore is even more powerful, but kind enough, and I believe they will be willing to swear allegiance to the lord." The spirit naga, who is good at scheming, is naturally very good at grasping people's hearts, and clearly knows the undercurrents surging beneath the Lizard King's court.
Only Kurgor herself was still complacent about her absolute rule over the Thun Swamp and the Lizard King's Court, but she didn't know that her rule had already had a big problem.
Of course, the evil spirit Naga will not report this issue to her. On the contrary, he will exploit the lizard people in various ways in the name of the Lizard Queen and attract more hatred for Kurgol until the volcano is completely ignited and explodes. , only when the Lizard King's court becomes chaotic can he have the opportunity to find an escape.
But before the internal volcano erupted, the Lizard Queen herself ran headlong into the iron plate of the conqueror army.
"Ha... I think I already have a way to conquer Thun Swamp." Gavin laughed loudly, "I just need to tell them whether their queen can return to Thun Swamp. In just one thought, they Either swear allegiance to me, or I will put their queen back, let them continue to serve her, and then serve me under her leadership, let them choose!"
