"Let me leave my gift for this city, and I will stand with you forever." Gavin, suspended in the air, raised the Dragon Oak Staff high, and a bright light fell from the sky and fell on In the square in the east city of the City of Faith, there is a huge black stone base.
"Look, there's something in the sky."
"By the gods, what is that?"
"A tree, that's the shadow of a tree. Is there such a big tree in the world?"
"It's the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. This is the Dragon Oak Mother Tree that killed the root of the gods in Darauma!"
"She is the Dragon Oak Mother Tree? She is even grander and bigger than the legend."
"Look, look, something is coming out. It's a statue. It's a statue. It belongs to the Lord."
"No wonder the lord asked people to build stone foundations for statues in the square, but did not build statues. This is the reason."
"What a superb carving technique. This is a giant replica of the lord."
"Normally, all elves are master sculptors. It is not easy to shape a statue."
Amid everyone's incredible exclamations, the phantom of the Dragon Oak Tree appeared in the sky. Under the pressure of her right paw, a lifelike Gavin statue broke through the plane barrier and slowly landed on the stone statue base in the square. .
This statue was enlarged ten times at the same scale and was 18.5 meters tall. It was wearing battle armor, holding a dragon oak staff in both hands, and looking into the distance with a solemn expression. It was shaped from a section of a dragon oak mother branch.
This was naturally prepared for the statue infusion ability of the Road of Destiny. Gavin originally prepared a stone statue, but the upgrade of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree was over, so of course he had to choose to draw materials from her.
The reason is simple. The relationship between the two parties is so close. The wooden statue carved from the branches of the dragon oak tree has a higher degree of fit and is more likely to produce unique changes.
And a statue of this size is a drop in the bucket to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, not even comparable to one of her leaves. The power consumed to send it here is tens of thousands of times that of condensing and shaping it.
That's right, this statue was not manufactured, but grew directly from the mother dragon oak tree, and it was not just one statue, but a large one, with various models.
In fact, there are many ways to send this statue here, and there is no need to consume the power of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree at all.
I chose to do this purely to capture attention, shock people's hearts, and show its uniqueness. I believe that this little bit alone will be enough to spread the word for a long time and accumulate the first raw power for this statue.
This was just the beginning. When the statue landed smoothly on the stone base, Gavin waved his staff and attracted a force of life.
Countless tree roots spread from the bottom of the statue and penetrate deeply into the reserved holes in the stone base, allowing the two sides to join together tightly, just like a rooted tree that is difficult to shake.
Then comes the main course, 640 points of road power rushing along the Conqueror's Road and injected into the wooden statue.
The earthy color began to spread from bottom to top, turning the wooden statue into stone, exuding the unique light of stone.
"What's going on? I feel like this statue is alive and looking at me with its eyes."
"It turns out you feel this way too. I thought it was my imagination."
"Magical power, this statue is imbued with magical power."
"No, this is by no means purely magical power. Magical power is not so magical. It is more like divine power. Don't you think this statue is very similar to the statues in those temples?"
"It's not just like it, it's basically it. Could it be said that Ms. Strategy injected her own divine power into it?"
"When have you ever seen those gods injecting divine power into a statue that does not belong to you? This is the statue of Lord Gavin. Even if he is the chosen one of Ms. Strategy, he is not the lady herself. What he does is wrong... …”
"You mean that this is the power of Lord Gavin himself. How is this possible? He is just a mortal!"
"Shh, I didn't say anything. Don't lie to me. What you guess is your own guess."
"Lord Gavin may not have this kind of power, but the giant tree behind him does. Maybe this is the power of that giant tree."
"Yes, that must be the case. You can tell at a glance that this statue is carved from the trunk of that giant tree. Isn't it normal to have magical powers? He is the best match for our lord."
"It's no use guessing. The stronger the lord is, the better it is for us. What are we waiting for? Why don't you quickly pay your most sincere respect to him? Without him, where would the life we have now be? Great achievements now.”
"Lord Gavin!"
"Lord Gavin!!"
"Lord Gavin!!!"
There are a large number of priests in the army of conquerors. They are all people who know the goods, and they can detect the difference at a glance.
This is not a statue that symbolizes the great achievements of mortals. It is clearly a statue of a god that was infused with divine power and then consecrated. However, the owner of this statue, Gai Wen, is obviously a mortal. It is unbelievable for a mortal to wield divine power. things.
Under the guidance of thoughtful people, they directly attributed this glory to the material and the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. It is only normal for such a unique giant tree to have its own divine power.
There are some things you can do secretly, but you can never declare them in public.
Such is the case with the theft of divine power.
This is one of the reasons why Gavin wanted to link the Dragon Oak Mother Tree to the forest queen Mielikki. Only in this way can he become famous.
In this way, it is not that mortals steal the power of the gods, but that they use the weapons of a god to declare war on the hostile gods. This is a conflict between gods.
And he can touch the light of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and push some relatively sensitive things towards the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. The two are one and indistinguishable from each other, so it is not a big deal.
When the power of the road was fully infused, the statue was indeed no longer a statue, but a statue of a god with a mysterious connection to Gavin.
road idol
Size: Jumbo
Infused with divine power: 640 points.
Chance of listening: 40%
Range: 64 km radius (roads only).
Explanation: This statue is infused with the power of your path. When people walking on this path pray to you or ask for help, you will have a chance to hear their prayers and respond. , the probability of listening is related to the power of the road infused by the idol.
Dream Warning (Special Ability) - When travelers are walking within the scope of the idol and encounter danger in their sleep, the idol will automatically warn them.
Prayer response (special ability) - When travelers take a certain amount of time to pray to the gods for protection before embarking on their journey, the gods will automatically respond based on their piety. When they are within the range of the gods, At this time, the movement speed will be increased to varying degrees, ranging from 10% to 30%, depending on the opponent's piety.
Roadside Rescue (Special Ability) - When merchants and travelers walking on the road covered by the idol are in danger, they can send you a prayer for help. You or your designated guardian of the idol will have a 40% chance of hearing it. , you can send a normal rescue team to them, or a road guard in sync with the idol.
The road guard can use the power of the road to directly teleport to a place less than 500 meters away from the person seeking help. Each teleportation of a medium-sized creature will consume one point of the idol's divine power, two points for a large size, four points for an extra-large size, and so on. The divine power is restored the next day, and the statue's divine power is completely consumed and cannot be used again on that day.
God statue linkage (special ability) - When the areas covered by two statues can be handed over, the prayer response will be automatically connected to the next statue. It can only be linked once. After arriving at the destination, a new prayer must be performed.
Even though Gavin had recently obtained a lot of good things, he was still shocked by the attributes of the Road God Statue. This is the foundation for becoming a god. With this thing, he will be on the road to the God of Road, just like It’s like flying on an airplane, running around like crazy.
Anyone who passes by his idol, whether he is a believer or not, must bow to him and offer his respect and prayers, so as to obtain corresponding blessings and protection. This is especially true for those caravans carrying heavy or valuable goods. A grand prayer ceremony will be held to strive for maximum blessings.
The disparity between 10% and 30% is still quite large.
If answering prayers can be considered the most normal use of road ministry, then road rescue falls within the scope of road protection.
That kind of roadside rescue teleportation is already a teleportation strike.
When a group of bandits were carrying out a robbery on the road, they suddenly noticed a flash of magical light not far away, and a group of extraordinary knights armed to the teeth charged with guns, everyone would be frightened.
In a few months, no one will dare to rob on this road, including those monsters. The stupid ones will be eliminated, and the smart ones will flee.
If the entire road can be covered with statues of their own gods, then when travelers and merchants take this road, they don't even need to bring too many escorts, just make sure that they have time to pray.
And this matter can be completely integrated with the hotel chain opened by Gao Se's mother.
Each statue has an attached temple, hotel, and barracks to facilitate responses based on the information fed back by the statue.
It is not necessary to use teleportation to dispatch troops. It can be done according to their needs. For example, if some businessmen's vehicles are broken down, their animals are sick, etc., they can ask for help. Different responses will be made according to the situation, only the most urgent things. , it is necessary to send troops by teleportation.
Even the response does not have to be sent from the God Statue Hotel. It can be sent from the hotel closest to them along the way. Don't forget, Gavin also has the Shadow Messenger in his hand. Each hotel will send a permanent resident. , information can flow unimpeded.
As for the dream warning, it was a link between the power of the road and the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, which was a pure surprise.
There is no need to test the super large, large and medium-sized ones at all. Gavin has already guessed their attributes. The road power they need is 160, 40 and 10 respectively, and the envelope diameter is 16, 4 and 1 kilometers. The probability of listening Then it is 30%, 20% and 10%.
As a result, the medium-sized one is basically of no use, and is not even qualified to be used as a supplement. At the very least, it must be a large one. He and the super-large one will be an important part of those relatively remote roads.
Giant and super giant are used on long-distance commercial roads such as the Road of Conquerors.
In a short period of time, the giant statue will be the main force. The 2560 points of road power required by the super giant are too terrifying, far more than Gavin's load. This can be slowly replaced after the road power he possesses comes up.
"What's going on? How do I feel like I have some kind of magical connection with this statue?"
"I feel it too, it seems like my speed has become faster."
"Ha...it's true. I feel like I can fly just by running."
"This statue has a unique magical effect."
"It's amazing, it's just amazing."
The army of conquerors who shouted piously after witnessing the completion of the statue immediately received a response from the statue. A soft magical power wrapped around them, giving them the illusion of being as light as a swallow.
The conqueror army itself has an absolute identity with Gavin and is his fanatical follower. By the standards of the gods, a small number of them have reached the standard of devout believers, and most of them have entered the category of believers.
Their identification and feelings were just a passionate emotion when Gavin was just a mortal.
But when Gavin gets involved in the realm of gods, he will immediately transform into the most practical faith.
The road statue in front of them is an out-and-out faith collector. Their most ardent feelings are entangled with invisible magic and laws, mixed into a more unique energy, which is absorbed by the road statue, and then Transferring it to Gavin, this is the most primitive power of faith.
The prayer response on the road statue actually uses the power of the person's faith.
The most essential part of this power was absorbed, led to Gavin through the road statue, and transformed into strands of road power.
The magic aroused in this process was fed back to the parties involved in the form of a spell buff by the road idol, increasing their and the moving speed of the truck.
Many people are professionals and feel the changes immediately.
After their reminder, people who had not noticed it at first also realized that the body was different. After being shocked, their eyes towards the road statue became more intense.
At this time, the road statue has become even more different. Not only is it blooming with a dazzling sacred light that makes people unable to look directly, the feeling of life is more intense, as if he can be activated and become a real person in the next moment. Same.
At this moment, even a fool knows that this statue is not a statue in the ordinary sense, but a magical statue. He will bring corresponding magical blessings to those who respect him.
Not to mention those ordinary people, even those priests, most of them would not easily think of this statue as a god statue, let alone a road priest. After all, for them, this matter is too far away. .
On the contrary, those powerful magic weapons are more common in daily life.
The power on the road statue is directly fed back to Gavin.
In the sea of consciousness, the power of the road of destiny is rising crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, it exceeded thousands.
When the power of the road officially reaches one thousand.
A flower, a flower of light, bloomed in Gavin's sea of consciousness, as if it bloomed from the road of destiny.
When you really observe it carefully, you will find that it is just a bright spot of light. There is no way to describe the size or shape.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the divine spark is called a flower.
This is the divine spark of the path.
There is no priesthood controlled by a god in the pan-Faerun pantheon, but Gavin single-handedly gave birth to it.
Therefore, it did not try to escape and escape into the void to find a suitable host like the dream divine spark spawned by the dragon oak dream.
For the road divine spark, Gavin's sea of consciousness and the road of destiny are his home, and Gavin is the most suitable host for it. Why should it go to other places?
Gavin had a feeling in his mind that all he needed was a thought, this point of light, this divine spark, to merge with him, change his nature, step into the realm of the gods, and become a god. A demigod, just like the former strategic lady.
At that time, his strength will not be as simple as a third leap, but a fundamental qualitative change, opening up some abilities exclusive to demigods, even if it is only a small part, it will also make him break away from the ranks of mortals.
This impulse, this desire, was suppressed by Gavin with his strong will.
Tell yourself over and over again in your heart that it won't be time yet, it's far from time.
His foundation is too shallow. Even in the mortal world, compared to those powerful forces and countries, his strength and power are too shallow.
Not to mention compared to those gods.
Once you use this divine spark, you will certainly gain greater power and step into the ranks of demigods, but it will also attract countless voyeurs from the gods.
Not only those evil gods, but also some righteous gods will be in this ranks.
Never think too highly of the gods. They did not take action against mortals before because mortals rarely held the things they cared about. When they do appear, do you still look sanctimonious?
The priesthood, especially the newly expanded priesthood, is one of them.
Although possessing the divine spark of the road will still attract prying eyes, he is still a mortal, and the gods will be restricted by numerous laws.
Either send your own believers to snatch it, even if it means tearing apart and personally attacking a mortal, or at most, sending a divine incarnation like Ma La did.
I can neither come in nor do this. This is the shackles that the gods bear.
