Gavin doesn't need to worry about guiding the residents of Misnoel to log into Dragon Oak Dreamland. They already have a mature operation model and there will be dedicated people to carry out it.
The method of etherizing the body to log into the Dragon Oak Dreamland is currently limited to those who are in the Dragon Oak Mother Tree themselves. Those who do so through signal transfer stations such as the Rose Tower and the Tower of Misnoel's Rule are still the original souls. The consciousness logs in, but the body still remains in the material plane.
Currently, the Dragon Oak Dreamland cannot achieve long-distance ether login. Even if it is possible to do so in the future, it will still be cautious (only those who have passed the assessment and are allowed to live permanently in the Dragon Oak mother tree can do so in this way). It is necessary to prevent the Dragon Oak from doing so. The mother tree is overcrowded, and enemies must be prevented from infiltrating and attacking the dragon oak mother tree in this way.
If it can be realized, it will have a deeper meaning. As long as the Dragon Oak Mother Tree signal tower is covered, you can quickly travel through the Dragon Oak Dreamland, which is as convenient as a portal.
After the experiment was successful, Gavin did not immediately take back his consciousness. Instead, he focused his attention on the lowest level of the Tower of Domination, where the Root of the Gods was once sealed.
This place has become a nursery for woad trees.
There are no absolutes in anything, including those evil gods.
Moando, the god of corruption and depravity, has an extremely bad reputation in Faerun, especially among the natural races, because he has left a lot of damage to the forest that is difficult to erase. Faerun has a named forest. , it seems that there is such a place, he and his believers take this as their glory and pleasure.
But in Gavin's hands, his beneficial side to nature was exploited to the extreme, especially the place where the roots of gods were imprisoned. First he changed it into a place of purification for dark trees, and now it is used as a nursery. The effect is not good. , but it is so good that it is comparable to the magical fields created by Gavin with his ability to adjust the weather.
Rows of neatly arranged pine saplings have grown here. In just three months, they have grown to the height of adults, and there are as many as 800 of them.
With such a safe nursery, it was difficult for the woad tree people not to be tempted. Even the die-hards were gradually persuaded to breed their own seeds here.
They are naturally activated plants. Their method of gestating offspring combines the essence of animals and plants. They can produce seven or eight seeds at a time (depending on the life dice owned by the woad tree person). Although the number is small, they contain the essence of their parents. As long as they do not Destroyed by man-made destruction, the germination rate is 100%, but it can only produce seeds once a year - for any species, breeding is an extremely energy-consuming task.
After the woad tree men finished breeding, Gavin drove them all out.
The advantages and disadvantages of these woad tree people have been fully demonstrated.
They are the best natural sentries. They can squat in a tree for a month without eating or drinking, without getting tired or slacking off, and they protect the forest with all their responsibilities.
They are the best carpenters. They can not only turn the wood into what they want, but also use their innate ability to strengthen the wood to a certain extent, making it harder or softer.
The weapons and equipment manufactured by them have withstood the test of actual combat in the hands of the conquerors' army. They are not limited to floor-type chariots and sidecars. Many vehicle-mounted crossbows are also made by them. In Ivanso, the conqueror's army is still large. Another type of equipment is installed on a large scale-threaded composite wooden shield.
This kind of wooden shield is the special skill of the woad tree people. The weapons they use are all derived from this. They have performed a multi-layer composite treatment on the wood, and the wooden surface has a thread shape.
The wooden shield treated in this way has greatly improved its ability to resist hacking and puncture. It even has a certain degree of resistance to flames and is difficult to be ignited. It also has the lightness of a wooden shield. The key is that it has no The cost is low, and it is naturally convenient for large-scale installation.
It is an exaggeration to say that the conquerors all have one hand. At least more than 70% of them have their own threaded composite wooden shields. This is a good thing for saving lives. There is no shame in setting up a shield first when encountering an enemy.
The shortcomings of the woad tree people are also very obvious. They are stubborn and extremely stubborn. Their heads are all made of elm wood. Literally, they cannot turn at all.
Especially when it comes to nature, there is basically no room for flexibility. Using those purified dark trees for large-scale equipment production is the limit they can accept. If those cut wood are brought to them, it will only cause them sorrow. With anger, don't expect them to take action.
In the long-term war with the drow, these woad treants who have taken refuge in Gavin have eliminated most of the weak-minded ones. Many of the edges have been worn away, and the compromises are quite severe.
The woad tree people in other forests are even more barbaric. They refuse unnatural creatures to enter the forest, and wars are common. They are either forced into the depths of the forest, or they are exterminated by intelligent creatures and used as firewood.
It will be difficult to change those who have grown up, but it will be much easier for these seedlings that have not yet opened their wisdom.
Originally, Gavin wanted to use the Enlightenment Technique, but found that it was not possible. The Enlightenment Technique can only be used on mature non-intelligent creatures. How can the seedlings be enlightened if they have not even awakened their initial consciousness?
You have to wait for it to grow to a certain height before you try to force it to grow.
Now I can only place my hope on the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and acquired education.
Compared with nurture, Gavin believes more in the subtle influence of innateness, which is a natural racial characteristic.
Under his conscious control, the rain of life began to fall in the nursery.
All the pine saplings began to sway with joy. Although they had not completed their transformation, the intensity of their initial consciousness was still higher than that of ordinary trees.
After these rains of life fell on the woad saplings, they were absorbed on the spot, and they began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This is not to encourage growth, but to promote it naturally, using the purest and most essential power of life.
Compared with the mother dragon oak tree, they are not the same size at all. Even a little bit leaked from the fingers is enough for them to benefit.
Soon the concentration of life force here increased to an extremely high level, and then became constant, ready to be maintained for a long time.
Of course, raising seedlings requires investment. Even if the training of these woad saplings fails, Gavin will not lose money. He can send them to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree to serve as natural guards. They will definitely try their best to protect the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. And the consumption is very low, and it can be integrated with the dragon oak mother tree.
After handling this matter smoothly, Gavin returned to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree again and said to Lord Virginia with a smile: "Myth Noel has been connected to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. At that time, some of those who cannot adapt can be diverted to If they go there, they can still enter the Dragon Oak Dreamland through the soul method, which is definitely the best of both worlds.”
"This is indeed a method, but it also has two flaws. Myth Noel is located in the material plane, which is not attractive to the natives of the Fairy Wilderness. A large part of them are unwilling to go, and how to send them there is also a problem. problem.
Fey's concentration is a big problem. If they are allowed to travel thousands of kilometers on a migration path, they may disappear without a trace. "The Lord of Virginia knows the nature of these fey very well.
"That's true." Gavin understood this deeply.
As the spirit of nature, the fey are the embodiment of materiality. Their abilities in many places are extreme and unique. If used properly, they can achieve twice the result with half the effort in some aspects.
But they have more or less defects, which are often born with very extreme ones. They are inattentive, have broad interests, are free and loose, and are quite emotional. They are those ultra-small and micro-fey. Common problem.
You can use them as a kind of auxiliary (and prepare multiple backup plans), but never use them as the main force, because no one knows when the chain will fall off, and the nine-headed bull will not be able to pull it back.
Along the way, the conquerors' army never caused any major troubles, but small ones. Their human companions were often made dumbfounded by them, and they both loved and hated them.
It is also very difficult to train and transform them, because many things are innate, and if they are pushed too hard, they will become impatient and break the pot.
"When you went back to experiment, I also thought of a plan. Carefully choose our first attack target and occupy it directly. It will be our rear area and house the new residences of the fey who are not adapted to the migration of the dragon oak mother tree. , because at that time, the differences will be the most serious." The Virginia lord obviously had his own plan.
"Such a place is not easy to choose. It should be easy to defend and difficult to attack. There should not be too many enemies around so that we don't have to worry about the rear. It should also be easy to use so that we can train our troops. It is best if there is a possibility of being able to connect with the mother tree. It is convenient for these felines to continue to log in to the Dragon Oak Dreamland and provide remote support to the mother tree." Gavin listed several conditions and said, "Could it be that Madam already has a suitable target?"
"There is indeed one." Virginia asked, "How much do you know about General Stelina's personal affairs?"
Gavin said thoughtfully: "Not many. I only know that she is a hybrid of eladrin and drow. She has a magic fruit called a golden apple in her hand. Could it be that the chosen target has something to do with her?"
"Yes." Lord Virginia nodded. "Her home is the Lost Land, called the Golden Apple Orchard. It is named after a golden apple tree carefully cultivated by her grandfather. This golden apple tree has magical powers. With its magical power, it turns the forest where it is into an island, a demi-plane, and the golden apples it produces have the magical power to increase charm and keep mortals young forever."
"It is a crime to possess a treasure." Gavin has basically imagined the next play, "The Golden Apple Orchard has attracted the prying eyes of evil forces and caused disaster. Her home has now fallen into the hands of evil forces. Evil hands, who knows which enemy is occupying this place?"
"The Green Dragon, a powerful green dragon, at least at the level of an ancient dragon, manipulated a group of drow elves with conspiracy and intrigue. Their priestess used powerful magic tools to transform into a troubled elf and infiltrated the golden apple orchard. I deceived the trust of Sterina's father, figured out the magic restriction there, and let my master in. Sterina's father desperately sent her to me." Virginia said it lightly. , the story inside must be full of love, hatred and conspiracy.
"Since it is an island-like demiplane, there must be a strong teleportation restriction. Can the Dragon Oak Mother Tree enter?"
"Normally there is no way to get in, but we have Sterina. Her eladrin noble status is not here, but in the Golden Apple Orchard. She is the real heir to that territory. The treasure in her hands That golden apple is also a key to enter there. As long as she sends an invitation, the mother tree can enter it. However, this invitation must be sent from inside the golden apple orchard, so it will be a very dangerous thing. The green dragon, which has turned that place into its lair, will not just sit idly by."
"As long as you can enter, it will be easy. In a green dragon's lair, resisting the counterattack of an ancient green dragon is not the same difficulty as killing it. But as long as the dragon oak mother tree enters, it can form a crushing force. , slapping it to death will be a slap in the face, and this matter must be carefully planned and a detailed battle plan formulated."
Gavin took advantage of the situation and said, "This is the second thing I am going to say. Ms. Strategy has an absolute advantage in this aspect. I will select a few trustworthy exclusive priests and resident fans Noel to let them Establish a Dream War Academy in the Dragon Oak Dreamland to conduct war training for all members of the Mother Tree and increase their knowledge and awareness in this area."
Never question the professional abilities of those exclusive priests in their divine responsibilities. They not only possess relevant knowledge, they also possess related spells and law blessings, especially the latter, which enjoy a certain degree of priority.
"This matter can be prepared, but it cannot be done too hastily. It should be carried out in conjunction with the selection and elimination of people on the Dragon Oak Mother Tree." Virginia naturally also recognizes the necessity in this regard. The residents on the Dragon Oak Mother Tree need to be professional. With the knowledge of war, the army needs to be professionally reorganized. The original army structure of Yaling alone can no longer meet the war needs of Mother Tree.
"They are just auxiliary personnel, responsible for providing professional knowledge and professional guidance in war. Madam has the final say on how to proceed." Gavin's attitude towards Ms. Strategy's followers is as clear as ever, not only for the mother tree, but also for the army of conquerors The same is true here.
As long as there is no conflict, he does not mind promoting Ms. Strategy's beliefs, but the beliefs he promotes must serve him and not become his enemy.
"The Yaling task force led by Stelina needs to return. I need to recast the army. The first goal also requires Stelina's full cooperation."
"You can talk to General Sterina directly later. I believe they will be the first batch from Mys Noel to log into the Dragon Oak Dreamland." Gavin took out ten blood bear berries and handed them to Virginie. Yadao, "This magic fruit can strengthen bear-related abilities. You can use it as appropriate."
The Virginia lords are in greater demand than Gavin in this regard. After all, these natural races are rich in druids, which can be used by both their own wild transformations and their bear-like companions.
The Virginia lord was not polite and directly put away the blood bear fruit, turned around and took out two bundles of sticks tied together like dry firewood from his portable dimension hole.
Gavin, who is extremely sensitive to the scent of nature, would not foolishly treat them like sticks and dry firewood, because they exude a strong life force. Although the patterns on them are natural, they are so mysterious that you can tell without looking at them. The powerful magic effects were just a touch away, without even the need to use the identification technique. Their information naturally came to Gavin's mind.
Staff of Life.
Number of recharges: 60 rounds (cannot be recharged)
One shot can be used to cast the healing spell, and five shots can be used to cast the resurrection spell.
This is a staff of life. The market price is between 150,000 and 200,000. It is also priceless, because the medical and resurrection techniques cast by this staff do not require the consumption of casting materials. , many spellcasters are willing to hoard this kind of staff as a strategic material.
For Gavin now, the value of a life staff is not particularly great. After all, he now has more than dozens of extraordinary spellcasters.
However, the life staffs that Lord Virginia took out were in bundles. It is roughly estimated that they are worth no less than a hundred. Their value is extraordinary. If converted into market price, it would be 20 million. If they are all cast into resurrection spells, then one time It has the ability to resurrect more than a thousand people, which is the number of half an army. It can definitely influence the situation of a war.
The most important thing is the source of these life staffs.
"These life staffs are not manufactured, but grown by the Dragon Oak Mother Tree!"
Gavin didn't use a question, but an affirmative. Regarding the breath of the dragon oak mother tree, he would not admit his mistake.
"To be more precise, it was planted and shaped by the elf druids on the dragon oak mother tree, using the mother tree's own branches and strength as materials." Lord Virginia corrected.
"What is the growth period? What is the total output?" Gavin doesn't care whether the dragon oak mother tree spawned it by itself or carefully cultivated it. The most important thing is the total output. No one would dislike this kind of strategic material. many.
"This batch took advantage of the upgrade of the mother tree and was quickly spawned. There are more than 300 branches in total. Half of them are 150 branches given to you. There will not be such a large amount in the future. As long as it does not affect the automatic operation of the mother tree In this case, one plant can be planted in up to ten days.
If the consumption of the mother tree is not taken into account, it can be increased to one per day, and it can produce continuously for up to one month. Unless there is additional energy replenishment, the mother tree will temporarily lose this ability. If it can absorb a large amount of extra power like the purification and absorption of the root of the gods, , will be able to perform additional spawning, depending on the situation. "The implication of Lord Virginia's words is obvious, this is a special trophy that destroys the root of the gods.
Sure enough, the gods are the greatest treasures in the world, and in comparison, the dragons are far behind.
