Chapter 537 Dragon Coast

This was the first time since his rebirth that he had calmed down and taken time to do this.

Although it was only four days, he felt that he had benefited a lot. After all, his intelligence was outstanding even among mages. With the help of various supernatural powers, spells and special abilities, he could work for up to three or four hours a day (casting spells many times) in a legendary intelligence state.

Although the attribute of intelligence is not directly equal to IQ, it also has an inherent potential connection, especially deductive thinking and memory.

There is no smart person with only five intelligence points in Feren, nor is there a fool with fifteen intelligence points.

With legendary intelligence, Gavin only needs to concentrate on memorizing anything.

After putting the basic theoretical knowledge and basic magic formulas taught by Felansini into those complicated magic formulas, magic runes and application methods, many things can be solved.

Because no matter how complicated the magic is, it is composed of those most basic elements, and then stacked up bit by bit.

Especially when the extraordinary body is activated, Gavin's understanding and use of magic are even better, because his body, the magic network, and the whole world are in a state of harmony and synchronization. Even if he does not use his spellcasting ability, he can use some elements for his own use with his physical ability alone.

Not to mention that after adding spellcasting skills, it is naturally easier to get a response - in layman's terms, the extraordinary body state has a bonus to the power of spells, especially the touch-type melee magic and auxiliary magic cast on oneself, which is 1.5 times the normal power. As the distance from the body gradually weakens, it will restore the normal spell effect when it reaches five meters.

The Oring Soul Tower itself has a bonus enhancement effect on various spells and abilities. This superposition directly doubles the effect of the spells he casts under the extraordinary body, which is more powerful than casting the super magic specialty spell.

This discovery gave Gavin a certain tendency in learning magic. He gave priority to learning melee magic, integrated it with the melee magic he was good at, and developed his own exclusive conventional fighting method. He no longer relied solely on the revenge triple attack, which was more of a bottom-up method.

As for mass destruction magic, it is not in Gavin's learning scope for the time being. Currently, there is only one fireball spell.

With the increase in the number of extraordinary spellcasters in his hands, on a large-scale battlefield, one more turret is not much, and one less is not much. Whether now or in the future, what he needs to focus on is the opponent's cutting-edge force. Killing the opponent at the fastest speed before causing a lot of damage is often a shortcut to victory.

Especially with the ability to summon a six-armed snake demon, even if the nine-ring revenge storm causes damage, it is not as great as this guy, who raged on the battlefield for a minute, causing great damage and impact.

As for Gavin's cheap teacher, Felanxini, despite her harsh and unkind appearance, her evaluation of Gavin is probably disdainful.

However, the four consecutive nights of teaching had a great subversion of her cognition, making her wonder if Gavin was also proficient in the magic of time stopping. When she was dragged back to the foggy land, he secretly cast this magic to accelerate her study in private?

Gavin's learning speed is definitely equivalent to that of an ordinary wizard apprentice in one day. When he came, he was still a half-baked magician who didn't even know whether he could dispel magic or dispel dimensional anchors. When he left, he was already a real magician.

What really made Felanxini feel incredible was the wonderful chemical reaction after Gavin's series of abilities were combined.

It is true that the Oring Soul Tower was made by her, but she didn't have it herself and had never seen it before. It was purely theoretical knowledge learned from the magic book of Netheril. Gavin was her first test subject, and the effects recorded in the magic book were also vague.

Because the inventor of this method was already a legendary arcane master when he invented this ability. His soul consciousness had solidified and there was no way to reshape it. He also couldn't find a suitable apprentice to inherit it. Because at that time, the Netheril Empire was in a period of catastrophe. The collapse of the empire destroyed many things, including the glorious arcane master inheritance.

This ability to strengthen the effect of spells without raising the spell position is not only powerful, but also a demon.

If you want it to show its true power, it is not the template spells below the ninth ring, but the legendary spells above the ninth ring. The power of those spells is weak, destroying cities and countries. Some of them can even reverse reality and make the impossible possible. There is nothing you can't do.

Such a spell will be able to be strengthened exponentially. Do you think it's terrible?

Not to mention the assistance of the extraordinary body.

He really has no way to make it grow now, but he has just become extraordinary now. When he enters the legendary stage, there are still many ways to think about it.

This guy also has a set of incredible strengthening methods. When they met this time, Felanxini felt a terrifying and almost incredible power from him. This is not just magic power, but also involves something higher.

It can be called the power of destiny, the power of law, or it can be used as magic power, but this method of use is undoubtedly the most wasteful.

This kind of thing is coveted by even the gods. Only by changing the fate of all living beings can it gather in large quantities.

This force of destiny is still gathering, even when he was learning magic from me.

Thinking back carefully, this young man was surrounded by such a large amount of destiny when he first met him, but because it was a first meeting and it was relatively obscure, he didn't think about it.

It's just that the amount this time is too large, and there is a comparison with the last time, so it can be distinguished at a glance.

Combined with what he is doing now, it is not difficult to guess that this force of destiny comes from those migrating immigrants, and the migration process is also the process of changing their destiny.

This time, even Felanxini did not dare to rashly suggest that Gavin use this force of destiny to improve his professional level.

Because this power is so huge, so huge that once it reaches its peak, the things that are born will not only be a legendary spellcaster like himself, but even the gods will be jealous of the strange ability.

Even the gods cannot control the power of destiny, and can only watch it evolve on its own.

Let's not talk about other things for now. The ability to destroy evil is beyond Felanxini's cognition. At least she has never heard of any god who has such ability. Even those holy gods can only purify and destroy evil, but they cannot extract the essence and transform it into the power they use.

Especially the limbs of a terrifying existence like Demogorgon can be destroyed and transformed. This is not something that ordinary mortals can do, but the ability of the gods.

What kind of monster did I meet this time?

No, to be more precise, what kind of monster came to me?

In any case, Gavin's special state completely stimulated Felanxini's desire to teach. She was going to study it well in her spare time and tailor a system and ability for him to see how far he could grow in the end. Anyway, she didn't have much else now, but she had a lot of time.

The days of reunion always seemed unusually short. When she came to her senses, Felanxini's free time in the material plane this month had run out again.

As usual, in addition to a series of living supplies and collected information, Gavin still carefully prepared five cups of aftertaste for her to help her survive the long loneliness.

As soon as Felanxini's figure disappeared, Gavin immediately activated the Mysnoel teleportation technique. His chief of staff Veronica had been waiting for him here as agreed, and teleported directly to the migrating army without stopping for a moment.

Because the migrating army has crossed the entire Giant Plain and arrived at the transit city of this trip, Avanso on the Dragon Coast.

Before talking about Avanso, we need to introduce the Dragon Coast first.

The Dragon Coast is located on the south bank of the Dragon Lake, a western tributary of the Falling Star Sea, and faces the Kingdom of Cormier and Sembia across the sea. The widest part reaches more than 160 kilometers, and the narrowest part is located at the place where the Dragon Lake and the Falling Star Sea are connected, that is, the West Gate City of the Dragon Coast and Uraspil of Sembia face each other, which is also nearly 20 kilometers.

The Dragon Coast does not only refer to the land, but also includes large and small islands along the coast.

Unlike the Kingdom of Cormyr and the Kingdom of Sambia on the other side, this place has never been unified, and it has been so in the past and will be so in the future.

It currently has three powerful city-states and about seven thieves' guilds, dozens of pirate groups, and countless cities and villages controlled by secret organizations.

There are many trade routes here, which are not the best choices.

Because it is by land, it is sandwiched by the Troll Mountains, Giant Run Mountains, Sunset Mountains and Storm Horn Mountains. The Giant Plains was once part of it. When you reach the West Gate, you have reached the end.

Going by water sounds great, but you must first overcome the problems of dozens of pirate groups, sea dragons and sea storms.

Where do you think the names of Dragon Lake and Dragon Coast come from?

Dragon Lake is also called the Dragon Lake. There are a large number of dragon turtles, sea dragons and bronze dragons living in it. They regard this place as their own territory.

The huge navy of the Kingdom of Cormyr can barely ensure that its coastal cities are not harassed by pirates and sea monsters, let alone completely clearing and governing here. Humans do not have an advantage in this regard.

As for folk customs, you can find out by listening to the two widely circulated sayings here.

"Everyone has a price, but in the Dragon Coast, the price is more fair."

"Just like Waterdeep City without guilds and guards, there are also evil forces like Simon, and more are like us who smile but hide daggers."

In short, this is a chaotic place. There is no unified regime. Most towns don't even have a political system, or any law enforcement agency above the mercenary group. What rules here are people's livelihood and folk customs, as well as gangs that gather for interests or evil purposes.

When Gavin's migrating army broke through the Giant Plains and appeared on the Dragon Coast, the shock it caused here can be imagined.

It was like a super meteorite, which smashed into a stinking quagmire with a bang, and stimulated everything here. The surrounding cities were united and recruited soldiers, but the guilds and gangs in each city still acted on their own.

Firstly, there is a lack of a super organization with a high reputation that can gather the rulers of all cities. The Dark Night Mask that secretly manipulates Simon does have this ability, but their style of doing things is destined to be shady, especially when they are desperately trying to conceal their true identities.

Secondly, trust is the most precious thing in the Dragon Coast. They dare not trust anyone except themselves, let alone the rulers of other cities. They are afraid that they will be sold out just after discussing countermeasures, or that the meeting to discuss countermeasures is a trap to seize their ruling power.

Anyway, it is a mess here, but no unified and effective response has been formed.

This is especially true for Afonso, which is the first to bear the brunt.

Because this place is in war, the ruling position in this city is currently a dead regime formed by a group of necromancers.

And a resistance organization called the Avengers, led by the mercenary group of the same name, actively resisted the rule of these necromancers and wanted to return this place to the rule of the living.

Two days ago, when the migrating army was more than 200 kilometers away from Afonso, the two forces sent envoys to request to meet Gavin.

They had no choice but to take it seriously.

Twenty thousand people, for Tethyr, is only one-seventh or one-eighth of a big city.

But for the valley, it is at least one-third or one-fourth of the current population of the Battle Valley.

The Dragon Coast is better because it is closer to those populous countries. There is no shortage of immigrants and wanderers from all over the world, but it is also more than the small city of Avanso.

Without the various undead soldiers controlled by the necromancers, the total population of this city is only 15,000.

A migrating army with a total number larger than their population, and which killed many people in the Giant Plains and directly penetrated this place, came to them so openly. Who would not tremble? If it is not handled well, the city will have to change hands.

In the migrating army, no one can make such a far-reaching decision on behalf of Gavin, not even General Copperfield, so they can only be left there and move with the army until they arrive ten kilometers away from Avanso, choose an open place, and set up camp on the spot.

After giving Gavin a detailed introduction to the emergency here, Veronica asked: "Lord, do you want to see the messenger of the dead first? Or the representative of the living? Or neither of them."

"Have the horse merchants from Anfei Village sent anyone here? Have the war horses I ordered there been delivered?" Gavin did not answer Veronica directly, but asked about something completely unrelated.

Due to the large number of giant war horses added in the Giant Plains, the demand for pack horses for the migrating army is not as urgent as before.

However, there is still a great demand for war horses, especially well-trained war horses.

Moreover, this batch of war horses is not only for the migrating army, but also for the use of horse farm seeds. Some will be left in the Giant Plains and handed over to Blood Gorge City, and some will be taken back to the valley.

He must first find out where these war horses are, so that it is convenient to determine how to treat the rulers of Avanso.

Veronica thought for a moment and replied, "There is indeed a wizard named Ambala, who claims to be a representative of the Anfield Village Horse Farm Union Chamber of Commerce. He came to the door a day ago and waited to see the Lord."

"See him first." Gavin walked into the tent prepared for him and sat on the Lord's seat.

Veronica asked, "Do you need to ask Captain Kailisa and Captain Leo to accompany you?"

They were called in on this occasion not to give advice, but to protect Gavin's safety and show military strength.

"Since he came a day ago, there is no need to do anything unnecessary. They should have already evaluated our combat effectiveness." Gavin shook his head and said, "You can just accompany him on the side."

"Okay." Veronica thought about it and it made sense. When those visitors came to migrate the army, as long as they were not blind, the first thing they saw was the group of giants and half-giant cavalry wandering around the periphery.

As for Gavin's safety, they don't need to protect him at all. Those who want to provoke him should be on their own. There are only a handful of people below the legendary level who can withstand his revenge triple attack, not to mention that he now has the real name of a six-armed snake demon and can summon her at any time.

If he is annoyed, it is not impossible for him to kill Evanso alone.

A few minutes later, Veronica brought back not one person, but a group of people, all of whom were Gavin's acquaintances. This made it impossible for him to put on a high-handed attitude. He stood up involuntarily, took two steps to greet them, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ambala, beautiful ladies, I didn't expect you all to come here. I wonder if the journey was smooth? Compared with the contract, we are half a month late. The corresponding expenses incurred in the meantime will be borne by me. What do you think?"

This group of people are not the horse farm owners in Anfeil Village, but Master Ambala and his six female mage apprentices.

For this kind of thing, Master Ambala is enough. Why did they transfer six female mages from afar?

Playing the emotional card? What do they want to gain from me?

Well, it seems that there are many things to gain. After all, with this migrating army in hand, he is not just a wine merchant or a manor owner, but a real warlord who can conquer cities and territories.

This man has become the person he hates the most.

But the feeling of holding great power and deciding the fate of others' lives and deaths is really good.

No wonder so many people are so obsessed with power.
