Chapter 460: Long Journey (End of this Volume)

On the contrary, Green Crown said very generously: "Our Silent Tribe is composed of three crowns. Only two crowns came to Misnoel. There are still people from one crown who are resistant to migrating to Misnoel. , chose to stay in Mir Forest, and entrusted them with the care of the seedlings in the forest. If the seedlings are to be transplanted here, an agreement must be reached with them.

I think there is room for discussion on this matter. At the very least, Huang Guan must be brought here so that he can experience the environment here personally and get in touch with the city lord. He cannot let his previous opinions dominate him and make wrong judgments. "

Lan Guan said helplessly: "We have known Huang Guan for more than a year or two. It's not like you don't know how stubborn and stubborn his temper is. His agreement for the three crowns to act separately is already the biggest concession. If he wants I’m afraid it’s not easy for him to change his mind.”

"If you don't try, how will you know that he won't agree? Leave this matter to me." Lu Guan took the initiative to ask for help, "I will try to persuade Huang Guan Yizhi to join Misnoel."

People's ideas can change. It was he who proposed that the three crowns act separately, and now it is he who proposes to persuade the other crown to advance and retreat together.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to Mr. Green Crown. If you need my cooperation in any way, just ask." Gavin knew that it was better not to meddle in this kind of household matter.

If you can persuade another crown to come, everyone will be happy.

Even if he can't persuade him, he won't lose anything. You can't expect the whole world to revolve around you.

As long as they are still in Mir Forest, as long as they are not enemies of him, there will always be a chance to bring them under his command. Gavin still has this confidence.

"Not yet. If necessary, I will tell the Lord of the City." Green Crown said cheerfully, "I wonder if the Lord needs our help in any way? Since you are so affectionate, you must give us something to do. Let’s repay the favor.”

Gavin thought about it for a while and then said: "There is really something that can be used by you, but I don't know if you can accept it."

Hearing Gavin's tone, the expressions of the two woad leaders couldn't help but become a little heavier. They are both smart people, and they know deeply where the biggest conflict between their race and human beings lies. Most of them are about forests and trees. Things to take advantage of.

If you are not careful, allies who were originally on good terms may fall out due to conflicting ideas, or even turn on each other.

In the end, the more tactful Green Crown came forward and said: "Lord City Lord, let's talk about the specific matter and we can discuss it before it's too late. Especially for some more sensitive matters, it's best not to let ordinary woad tree people know. Their temperament is relatively gentle most of the time, but when it comes to the forest, they will go to extremes and are difficult to persuade. "

"Understood." Gavin nodded clearly and started the teleportation again. One person and two treants appeared in a new room.

The light here is dim and the atmosphere is mixed, especially for the two woad tree men.

Inside, they smelled both the power of corruption and the smell of death, as well as the tenacious smell of life.

What came into view was a mountain of wood, neatly stacked and divided into two piles.

These woods have the same feature, that is, they are dyed black from the inside out, and many of the roots and branches are twisted, silently telling the pain of their death.

The pile on the east side only exudes a faint negative energy.

The pile on the west side is filled with strong negative energy from the inside out.

Five willow trees were surrounding the pile of wood on the west. From time to time, they took a few branches off and placed them on the pile on the east. The negative energy in them was almost absorbed.

At the first sight of these trees, the two woad tree men could basically distinguish their conditions. Their wooden faces, which were not good at expressing emotions, surged with deep anger, and they said in unison: "This is a tree that has been killed by the followers of the evil god." Harmful trees?"

Gavin nodded and said: "You guys should be aware of the special nature of the power of corruption. If we rely solely on natural dissolution, Mir Forest will not be able to consume these powers of corruption within a few centuries.

After repeated experiments, we found that immortal energy is the fastest way to embezzle the power of corruption, and I happen to have a manor with the ability to do this, so I collected all these trees back to the Tower of Domination, and through the embezzlement of immortal energy, Then extract the immortal energy and convert it into usable wood. "

Whether it is good or bad, it all depends on one mouth.

Gavin obviously coveted these dark woods, so he spared no effort to transport them back and purify them of corruption.

But after what he said, he was the vanguard in purifying the corruption in Mir Forest. Harvesting these dark woods was incidental.

Although the thing is the same thing, the nature is completely different.

The two woad tree men were in awe, bowed to Gavin and said, "Thank you City Lord for everything you have done for Mir Forest. What does the City Lord need from us? We have a duty to do so."

They apparently mistakenly believed that Gavin needed their help in this matter.

"Wait a moment." Gavin disappeared for dozens of seconds, and when he came back there was a large wooden tool next to him.

The two woad tree men did not identify what this tool was used for specifically, but they recognized the wood it was made of, which was exactly the same as the pile of wood to the east.

Lan Guan said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, City Lord, you don't want us to use the ability of bending wood to create this kind of tool, do you?"

"Yes." Gavin said carefully while observing the expressions of the two woad tree men, "This kind of wood has been completely saturated with negative energy. It has good negative energy conductivity and can be made into something convenient for ghosts." Shadow-controlled tools can create greater value. I currently don’t have many craftsmen who can make such complex wooden tools. I wonder if you can provide help?”

Gavin's words were half-truths and half-falsehoods.

Bentwood is a second-level druid spell that can only be used if you have four druid levels.

Not too low, but definitely not high either. He could easily call in dozens of fey druids of this level to assist him.

His main purpose is to detect the bottom line of these woad tree people's acceptance bit by bit.

Compared with those trees that were cut down and killed by the power of corruption, it was easier for them to accept psychologically.

Even if you don't want to, you won't fall out because of this. After all, this is a by-product of purification and corruption.

The reaction of the two woad tree men was indeed much more relaxed than expected. Lan Guan said with a matter-of-fact expression: "Making full use of the resources in the forest that died due to irresistible reasons is also our way of survival. If we simply use them Making tools shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Seemingly unsure of the reaction of some tribesmen, Lan Guan added: "At least most of the tribesmen should not object, but I still do not recommend that all tribesmen participate. It is best to select some who are not too sensitive in this aspect. To assist the Lord City Lord."

"Part of it is okay." Gavin couldn't hide the joy on his face. Something is better than nothing. He asked expectantly, "Approximately how many tribesmen can you organize to do this? How long will it take you to make such a tool? time?"

Lan Guan thought about it for a while and replied: "It should be no problem to recruit twenty people. This tool looks a bit complicated. We need to study it carefully. If nothing happens, it should not be a problem to make one per person per day. "

"Then I'll leave it to you. After you select the people, let me know. I'll teleport them here. The rest, I'll teleport them all to the Sealed Land for breeding." Gavin said happily, "I At least a hundred of these machines are needed.”

Now in the Tower of Domination, there are already a sufficient number of powerful shadows, but the only thing missing is the shadow integrated textile machine.

As long as the machine is in place, the Shadow Textile Workshop will directly turn into a Shadow Textile Factory, and the production capacity will increase tenfold. The original production of one Shadow Cloak in three days will become three in one day.

It will no longer be a dream to have Miss Noel's defenders in uniform.

The next time the drow come knocking, they will face an army of ghosts.

If Gavin wanted to, the output of Shadow Cloak could be tripled on this basis.

But he can't focus all his productivity on the Shadow Cloak. In a few days, Darauma's hydrospinning mill will be put into trial operation, and large quantities of cotton in Tethyr will begin to be picked. Once there is a large amount of Cotton yarn in bulk.

Producing ordinary canvas is the main task of Shadow Textile Factory in the future.

In comparison, the value created by fully producing the Shadow Cloak is indeed much higher than that of producing ordinary canvas.

But in Gavin's current position, he needs to consider not just money, but also a series of issues such as benefiting the people and breaking the monopoly of Sambian businessmen.

Overall, the situation was far better than Gavin expected.

At least the woad tree people of the Silent Tribe are not as barbaric and incommunicable as in the legend. When it comes to the forest and the trees, the other party's attitude is not so decisive. At least there is room for negotiation, and at least some woad people have room for negotiation. Treants can.

Next, Gavin mainly dealt with this group of woad tree people.

Those woad tree people whose heads were filled with elm wood were directly turned into breeding machines, and they were all sent to the Sealed Land to take root and breed.

After settling the woad tree people, Gavin made some specific arrangements for the management personnel of Misnoel.

Regarding the Tower of Domination, Leimu was in the control room, and Gavin gave him the ability to use the Tower of Domination to scan.

If there are no special circumstances, he will stay here for a long time as a deterrent weapon.

As for the affairs related to the shadow, Daphne is fully responsible for it, while Estelle is mainly responsible for the affairs at Vizeme Manor.

In terms of military defense of the city, General Stelina is the main one, assisted by Carissa.

As for Chief Fearless Stone and Fearless One, it’s not that Gavin doesn’t want to use them, but their hearts are not in Mys Noel.

They stayed here previously to get rid of the festering disease. Most of this disease has been cured with the resonance of the earth. The rest is a matter of conditioning, and they do not rely heavily on Mys Noel.

The second is to help Mis Noel resist the invasion of those drow elves. Now this problem has been basically solved. At least those drow elves will not dare to appear within ten kilometers of Mis Noel for a short period of time.

Now that both reasons no longer exist, most Goliaths cannot stay peacefully in Misnoel.

For them, this kind of life is too stable and comfortable.

When food comes, they open their hands, but when food comes, they dare not speak. At least they have no worries about food and clothing. The difficulty of hunting prey in the Mir Forest is far lower than that in the mountains.

But their Goliaths are the main defenders of Misnoel, so it would not be appropriate if they all leave.

Therefore, they directly advanced the bet. Chief Fearless Stone led part of the mountain tribes back to the mountains, and part of them followed Carissa to establish a semi-permanent settlement in Misnoel. The combatants were half and half.

"Lord City Lord, please stay." The Goliath team led by the Fearless Stone Chief stood in front of the Mystery Lock exit, turned to Gavin and said, "I'm really sorry, we are leading the main force of the tribe to leave at this time. We should stay a little longer until the situation in Mis Noel stabilizes..."

Gavin smiled and waved his hand and said: "Master Chief, please don't say that. You have helped me a lot before. The shadows of many warriors are still missing Noel!"

Not all shadows are willing to sign contracts with their original owners. They are more interested in replacing them and transforming themselves into real shadows.

These shadows are now in the shadow textile factory, undergoing labor education and transformation.

"We just store the shadows here. We believe in the city lord's methods, and they will return obediently before long." Chief Fearless Stone said with an extremely sure tone.

He now has more confidence in the young man in front of him than he does in himself.

"If you encounter any difficulties in the mountains, even if you send a message back, Mys Noel will always be your backing, your home, and I will try my best to help you." Although we have not been together for a long time, for this simple-natured person, Gavin has a heartfelt affection for the big race of men.

"As long as the Lord of the City blows the war horn again, no matter where we are, we will rush back as quickly as possible to support the city." The Fearless Stone Chief promised equally solemnly.

Not only him, but the Goliaths of the entire mountain tribe now have a deep sense of identification with Myth Noel, and are no longer as resistant to establishing a semi-permanent settlement here as they were at the beginning.

There are just some things that are buried deep in their souls and bones that cannot be changed.

The longer they stay in the comfortable life, the more they feel that the mountains are calling them.

"The next time we meet, maybe it will be in the mountains." Gavin said with a meaningful smile.

Counting the time, the hobgoblins led by Bloodclaw are about to arrive in Tethyr. They are going to stir up trouble in the moving mountains, and they may encounter the mountain tribes who are returning to the mountains.

When the time comes, this matter must be explained clearly to Blood Claw to prevent the two allies from fighting.

"The mountains welcome you at any time. If you are willing to come, we will lead you to enjoy the most beautiful mountain scenery." Chief Fearless Stone only thought Gavin was talking about visiting the mountains.

"I will definitely do it if I have the chance." Gavin stopped in front of the mysterious lock door, "There is no such thing as a banquet in the world, so I will send it here. I look forward to our next fight together."

"I also look forward to following the Lord to charge again." The fearless Chieftain laughed loudly, waved his hands boldly, and strode towards the tribe that had gone far away. The heroic and high-pitched Goliath song came from afar, Soon there was a chorus of singing and singing all around, as if the entire mountain was responding to them.

Gavin turned to Carissa who also came out to see him off and said: "I kind of understand what you said, the Goliath in the mountains is the real Goliath. Now what does this sentence mean? Do you regret your decision?" ?”

"I have no regrets yet." Carissa looked down at Gavin with a serious face and said, "I hope the Lord of the City will not make me regret it. Rather than watching the sunrise in the Marching Mountains, I want to feel the lightning on Cormyr's Thunder Peak. With thunder and lightning, I want to appreciate the lava flows in the Unser Mountains. I want to ski on the ice peaks of the highest glaciers. I want to hike over the spine of the world that no one can climb on foot.”

This answer made Gavin stunned.

Isn't this the famous mountain he listed casually to bluff these Goliaths?

Unexpectedly, Carissa not only remembered it, but also remembered it so clearly. Judging from her serious look, she was not joking, but serious.

She did not give up Goliath's desire for the mountains, but she found a new direction, which Gavin inadvertently instilled in her.

Gavin couldn't help but replied seriously: "Okay, I will arrange this matter as soon as possible, but I don't recommend that you climb the mountain alone. It is best to form a strong elite team, because there is no peace in those mountains you mentioned." Peaceful, during mountaineering, you have to face not only various natural risks, but also threats from local indigenous people, who are usually not very hospitable. "

"Understood." Carissa nodded clearly.

"In the next period of time, Mys Noel will be left to you. Everything will be carried out as we decided at the meeting. I will come back from time to time." The threat from Mys Noel's side was slightly lifted, and Gai Wen is ready to be the hands-off shopkeeper again.

This is inevitable after the power develops to a certain extent. His footsteps cannot be limited to one city or one place.

After everyone responded in unison, Stelina couldn't help but asked curiously: "Lord, where are you going this time?"

"Waterdeep!"

"Waterdeep? What are you doing in Waterdeep?"

“Looking for ways to advance your career.”

"What kind of career advancement requires traveling so far?"

"Arcanist."
