#1220 - The blessing of Qiren

Gavin came back, of course not just to inquire about the effect of the Original Dream Spirit Headband. When he saw its properties, he could basically imagine it.

He was ready to take the opportunity to reveal his biggest secret. He had never been an indecisive person. Now that he had made up his mind, he would carry it out.

This matter naturally starts from the starting point of everything - Zalanda.

The person who cares most about Gavin's time travel should be her, after all, she watched him grow up.

From the very beginning, the other people had only come into contact with Gavin who had traveled through time and space and was reborn. As a result, they were not very sensitive to his origins.

The attitudes of the women invisibly boosted his arrogance.

Which man doesn’t want to enjoy the blessing of having many wives?

Unless you tell lies with your eyes open.

Gavin naturally has the most common idea among men. He wants the women to live in harmony and remain loyal to him.

The series of charm-related special abilities he activated seemed random, but in fact, they were the truest manifestation of his soul consciousness.

"Do you think you are hiding it secretly?" Zalanda asked back unhappily.

“Hehe…” Gavin laughed dryly and went straight to the point. “What I am confessing to you now is not this, but my true origin. I am not the original Gavin… but I am reborn through time travel…”

When he opened his mouth, he suddenly found that this matter was not as difficult to explain as he had imagined. He explained everything about his past four lives in a concise and concise manner, and then looked at Zalanda with some uneasiness.

Zalanda was not angry, surprised, or sad as he had expected. Instead, he remained calm from beginning to end. Only after Gavin finished speaking did he ask calmly, "Is that all?"

"That's all!" Zalanda's reaction made Gavin not know how to react for a moment.

"Whether you're talking about time travel or rebirth, it's all a concept. Your current body is Gavin's, and you have all his memories. It's just that you have an extra soul memory from another world.

How can you be sure that you are a soul consciousness traveling through time, rather than a soul consciousness reincarnated into this world and awakened the memory of the past life after being stimulated?" Zalanda asked the first question.

"Uh..." Gavin was stunned.

He had never considered the issue from this perspective at all.

From the perspective of reincarnation, Zalanda's explanation is also reasonable.

There is no such thing as four lives and four worlds at all. From beginning to end, there is only one soul consciousness.

He is Zhang You on Earth and Gavin in Furen.

Even the world is not the same world, so the timeline is naturally extremely confusing.

It is very likely that Gavin was born countless years after Zhang You died on Earth.

Zalanda didn't even wait for Gavin's answer, but immediately asked a second question: "How can you be sure that you are reborn? Maybe from the beginning to the end, the future you talked about was just a dream of yours... What's the idiom called... Nan... Nan Ke's dream..."

This time Gavin was no longer confused, but answered confidently: "It is definitely not a dream... The fragments of the high-level artifact Sulen's Tears that I used for my rebirth are still in my soul consciousness... Many things after my rebirth are right... I have changed the fate of many people, including yours..."

But when he said this, he was obviously not very confident, because there seemed to be other explanations for this matter.

As expected.

Before she could finish, Zhalanda threw back a series of new questions and said, "The Tears of Sulun cannot explain anything. Maybe it is just a dream created by it for you... Many things after rebirth are consistent. The powerful prophecy can also achieve the same effect..."

After Zalanda’s dialectical rebuttal, Gavin’s thinking became clearer and clearer, and he responded: “Whether it is time travel or the reincarnation of soul consciousness, I can’t prove it myself.

But whether it was rebirth or just a dream, I could still tell it clearly, because when I woke up, many things about me could not be explained by prophecy, such as the legendary warrior fighting skills I possessed and the legendary warrior soul echo ability in me, which indirectly proved that everything really happened..."

"Does it matter?" Zalanda asked the last question.

"Is it not important?" Gavin couldn't guess what she was thinking for a moment.

“The one I love is neither the Zhang You you mentioned nor the original Gavin, but the foolish boy who left behind a book of strategies and a mess, ran away secretly, and left a letter asking me not to get married.

He was the young lord who led countless people, forged his own path in the wilderness, and found a new life for them.

He is the young demigod who can make the gods willing to extend an olive branch and countless mortals willing to follow him..."

Although Zalanda didn't say a single word of love from beginning to end, to Gavin's ears, every word he said sounded like love.

Because everything she said can be summed up in one sentence: I love you as you are now, not as you were in the past.

At this moment, it would be a bit of a spoiler to explain anything else. The best thing to do is to respond directly with practical actions - kiss her.

At this moment, Gavin also reached a reconciliation with himself in his heart - there was no need for him to be entangled with Zhang You and Gavin. He was neither any of them, but also them. They made him who he was. Without any one of them, he would be incomplete.

His mind was completely clear, and he felt extremely relaxed and full of energy like never before. Zhalanda had experienced this personally.

A force was transmitted from Gavin and flowed around her body, not only protecting her from any harm, but also transforming her subtly.

That is the divine power that belongs exclusively to Gavin.

Close contact with a god is a shortcut to becoming the chosen one of that god. This is an open secret in Faerun and is the masterpiece of the second-generation magic goddess Mystra.

She is beautiful and willful, and has a very dissolute lifestyle. She has many lovers, including the wizard god Azuth and the legendary archmage Elminster, and a large number of illegitimate children, including the Seven Sisters, which has earned her the insulting nicknames of slut and bitch.

All of this is not controlled by the gods, because during the close contact between the two parties, the divine power will spontaneously cleanse the other party, just like water flowing to a lower place.

Although the two had had a close relationship a long time ago, and Zalanda was even the mother of Gavin's three daughters, that was before he became a demigod.

After becoming demigods, the two sides have not been able to have a deep emotional exchange.

It was not because of being busy, but because Zalanda was pregnant. Gavin subconsciously thought that she needed postpartum recovery, so he performed advanced recovery techniques as soon as possible even after giving birth.

While Gavin admired the magic of the spell, he also felt wary.

In other words, many things in this world can be faked.

As long as the ability is in place, even those succubi can become virgins.

The combat effectiveness of the two sides is completely not on the same level, and it is simply not something that Zhalanda can handle alone.

Forcing her to take the initiative to call for reinforcements.

Looking at the tall and beautiful figure who responded to the call, Gavin was excited but a little confused, and asked, "What does this mean?"

Kailisa, who was summoned, seemed very graceful. She walked towards Gavin gracefully and replied, "The City of Earth needs an heir, and this heir must belong to you. This is the consensus between me and the Lord of the City."

“No need to look at me.” Zalanda, who was aching all over, responded lazily, “The way to maintain a close relationship between the two sides is through marriage, but we are both women, so we can only do it through you.

And can you tolerate Kaylissa marrying someone else? You can't let her be a widow for the rest of her life like those saints in the church, right?"

Things have come to this point. If Gavin is still hesitant, then he is really not a human being. He just carries Zalanda and walks towards Kaelissa.

"Put me down, there's a newcomer here, don't bother me anymore!" Zalanda hit Gavin's chest.

"Since you have reached a secret agreement behind my back, you should know what you will face. This is your punishment." Gavin did not listen to Zalanda this time.

Since their ideas are so unrestrained, I can't just be conservative.

It has always been much easier for men to liberate their minds than for women.

Although Kaylissa always wanted to appear calm and composed, she still couldn't hide the fact that she was a novice.

She could only let Gavin do whatever he wanted with a blushing face, and for a while she served as the background for both of them. She almost roasted Zalanda until Gavin cast a fire protection on her.

After being stimulated, the Goliath Queen's body heated up uncontrollably, as if tangible flames covered her entire body.

The current state of her is indeed not something that ordinary people can handle.

Fortunately, Gavin had acquired the ability to be immune to fire from the Queen of Flame. When it comes to fire manipulation, she is the master, and Kaelissa is far inferior to her.

Gavin has a unique feeling about her that is very different from others, and this is something that outsiders cannot understand.

Zalanda could only sigh in his heart, a demigod is a demigod, and his ability in this area is extraordinary.

Before becoming a demigod, Gavin was quite good in this aspect, but not to such an abnormal level.

There are more varieties than you can imagine.

Although Kaylissa has half drow blood in her body, she grew up in the Goliath tribe. The unique competitive spirit of the Goliaths has long been integrated into her bones.

Not to be outdone even in this regard, he entered a lava frenzy before he knew it.

She turned into a lava giantess with flames burning all over her body. The only difference from her combat state was that she did not absorb the power of the earth to condense lava armor around her.

But the flames gushing out of her body and the surging strength and physique were real.

And that's exactly what Gavin wanted.

When Kaylissa completely released her power, Gavin also began to change.

The whole process was exactly the same as Kaylissa's, and she transformed into a lava giant with an extremely similar appearance.

This wasn't the first time he'd done this, nor would it be the last.

This is a shortcut to learning advanced metamorphosis abilities.

He once used this ability to transform into a wyvern and dance in the air with the black dragon lady Shanoba.

He also used this ability to learn the essence of the Burning Flame Spirit and danced in the flames with the Burning Flame Queen Putana.

Now he is having a hand-to-hand fight with Kaylissa, the lava giant. The scene is absolutely thrilling and you will never forget it even if you only take a glance at it.

If you have a chance to see it.

When the battle reached the middle stage, Gavin and Kaelissa used teleportation to move the battlefield. If they were still in Dalaoma, they would not only be able to demolish the city lord's mansion, but the surrounding residents would also be affected. Wherever they passed, the earth would melt into magma.

Normally, they can control it by suppressing their special abilities, but their minds are not focused on this now, and they let the power run rampant.

Gavin and his men's new battlefield was not in the City of Earth, but in the underground cave where the Enlightened Cassilio was captured.

After the tunnel builders were taken away by Gavin, the mushroom people had not yet expanded here and were currently idle, making it the perfect place to serve as a wild battlefield. Soon the surrounding area turned into a magma pool, with boiling magma splashing everywhere as the two men's fierce fight progressed.

Speaking of bystanders, there really is one, not Zalanda, but a goddess, the goddess of wealth Waukeen in Gavin's soul.

Gavin had completely forgotten she existed, at least on the surface.

Soon the Goliath Queen was completely convinced, because even in the physical field where she was best, Gavin had the upper hand over her and did not give her any chance to turn around. He also used the lava spear to perfection.

Kaylissa roared uncontrollably, and a faint divine light emanated from her whole body. She had now also become Gavin's chosen one.

Gained all attributes +2, the voter abilities of [Fast Walk] and [Road Repair].

This directly allowed his strength and physique to reach a terrifying 50 points when in the lava rage state. This attribute was extremely rare even among the gods.

But unfortunately, no new attribute rewards were enabled.

It’s not that there will be no subsequent attribute rewards, but that the primary divine reward is the limit of power that a mortal body can reach.

If you want to unlock more powerful attribute rewards, you must truly step into the ranks of the gods.

The two of them completely lost the concept of time in the dark cave. They sank into the lava for an unknown amount of time and had no idea what fatigue was. They were able to draw strength from the earth and lava to restore their physical strength.

Until a series of telepathic experiences forced Gavin to leave this peaceful place.

The news that forced him out of his comfortable life came from Raymond, the lord of the city of Ritaven. The large trade caravan he led had successfully arrived near the capital city of Askatala after more than half a month of arduous journey.

He was just fighting the front battle, Gavin was the main force.

They had several missions on this trip.

One of the first tasks was to open up the market for the specialties of their territory in the Kingdom of Amn.

There is Amn in the west, Thesk in the east, and Sembia in between. No sword is swung and no blood is shed, but the trade brings in wealth.

This folk saying is both a slander against these three merchant kingdoms and a compliment to them, fully demonstrating their business methods and status.

As long as this market is opened, there will be no worries about selling goods.

Their commercial status is not just due to their commercial ethos, but also to their excellent geographical location.

The Kingdom of Amn is located almost in the center of the West Faerun continent. Goods from here can be transported by land along the trade routes or by sea to coastal ports. The transportation methods are very mature.

Going north are Baldur's Gate, Waterdeep, Neverwinter and Illusk. Although there is no unified kingdom here, there are trade routes radiating to the surrounding areas, and trade is very prosperous.

Going south, you can reach Tethyr, Calimshan, the Chult Peninsula, the coast of the Shining Sea, and directly cross the Storm Strait and go deep into the Steam Lake.

The second half is redundant. It is more convenient to reach the Steam Lake by land from Shwetaven. It is only four or five hundred kilometers away, less than half the distance to Askatla.

However, there is a small problem here. Two-thirds of this trade route is located in the territory of the Saradas family. They are in a hostile state with the city of Dalauma and still impose an economic and military blockade on it, making trade impossible.

Now Gavin places his hopes on the ambitious Prince Hared to see if the ruling council he is planning to build can solve this problem.

If he can't even solve this most basic problem, his so-called revitalization of the Kingdom of Tethyr will be a castle in the air and a mirage that will only exist in his fantasy.

But if it is solved, Prince Hared will soon find that the subsequent problems are even bigger. The goods from the city of Dalauma will be marketed in the surrounding areas due to their advantages such as high quality, low price and large quantity.

Through trade and infrastructure, its tentacles extend in all directions, taking root in various cities and industries, and are difficult to completely separate. This is the terrifying thing about mutual benefit.

If they still want to stop them or impose a military and economic blockade afterwards, Zalanda doesn't need to do anything. The local lords and residents will rebel against them and cut off their financial resources, which is like killing their parents. The hatred is irreconcilable. (End of this chapter)
