Chapter 645 Hidden Harvest

As for wealth, except for the weapons and armor left by the monsters killed in the battle and the treasures they carried with them, the conquerors' army did not seem to have gained much, at least in the eyes of ordinary people. However, in the eyes of the top brass of the conquerors' army, they had not gained much in this battle. It can be said that this is the biggest harvest since embarking on the migration path, even better than the harvest in the Giant Plains, but this time many of the benefits are invisible and cannot be seen by ordinary people.

The biggest harvest is naturally in terms of souls. Not counting the part that the Goddess of Strategy took away, but only counting what the Adamantine Coffin Hammer gained on its own in the defensive battle at the west bridge entrance of the Bridge of Faith, as well as the souls that were divided from the Goddess of Strategy, all of them exceeded Twenty-five thousand, the total number of life dice exceeds 80,000 (the power of the shadow is calculated based on the life dice, not the number of souls). Since most of these souls are not real shadows, the carrying capacity is greatly reduced. It is not possible to calculate one point of shadow power per life die, but to calculate it in half. Even so, the shadow power of Vizeme Manor has increased sharply from 4,300 points to 45,800 points. .

Since acquiring the Wezeme Manor, Gavin has been moving around, working hard, and working hard for more than half a year. He has just accumulated such a small amount of wealth. However, after a war, it has increased by more than ten times. He wants to Harvesting a large number of souls requires war and stealing from the hands of the gods. Otherwise, it would only take him years and months to accumulate this amount of shadow power based on his original petty fighting.

The sudden increase in the power of shadow means that the divinity in Weizemei ​​Manor has also increased to forty-five points. If you say this alone, I am afraid that it is not too clear how much these divinities are. If you put it another way, , I believe it is more intuitive and clear.

Godhead is formed by divinity, condensed under the influence of the priesthood. In other words, godhead is the level of the gods, and divinity is the experience required by the gods to upgrade their godhead. It takes ten points of divinity to condense the first level of godhead. , it takes twenty points to upgrade from level one to level two, forty points to upgrade from level two to level three, and so on, doubling in a stepwise manner.

After all this calculation, do you still think that forty-five points is too little divinity?

This is enough to upgrade a godhead to level 2 and still have a surplus. The Goddess of Strategy is only at level 3 now, and the Goddess of Immortal Vengeance currently has no ten points of divinity (unable to maintain her own godhood).

Of course, just having divinity is not enough. You must have corresponding priesthood to condense the divinity. Otherwise, no matter how many divinities you hold in your hand, it will still belong to the divine existence and will not become a god. Gavin Now he is holding the divine spark that opens the priesthood in his hand, but he dares not use it at all. Whether it is the immortal priesthood or the dream priesthood, they are all concerned about Cyric, the god of conspiracy. Before using them, he was just holding a divine spark. Mortals are limited by the divine laws. The gods cannot sense it and cannot take it personally. At best, they can send their own believers or divine incarnations. However, once the divine spark is used and the priesthood is opened, it is equivalent to If you rank yourself among the gods, many related gods will not have so many scruples and can take advantage of you without hesitation.

This is clearly demonstrated when the goddess of strategy ascends to the gods.

Ascension to the gods is not simply about fighting and killing, but about human nature, and there must be a god to protect you at the critical moment.

Rather than rashly ascending to the gods and joining the high-end games of the gods, it is better to stay at the bottom and make full use of countless divine powers that mortals cannot master to establish their own advantages. One day, they will have the following. The most correct choice is to gain enough believers from the people and ascend to the gods with their cooperation. At that time, it will not be a slow climb from a demigod with weak divine power, but directly into the ranks of weak or even medium divine power. In many things , you don’t have to rely entirely on others.

The most important thing is to accumulate divine veins. For example, before you can ascend to the level of a god, you should first support Ms. Strategist to a powerful divine power, or at least a medium divine power, and then find a few powerful divine powers to establish a good relationship with her, so that they will not object to your ascension. God is willing to provide help when he becomes a god. This is the safest way to become a god.

Of course, this is just a plan. When he really sets out on this road, I'm afraid there will be many unplanned things waiting for him. After all, there are many things that, at the level of the gods, even the gods can't do anything about. To pass it on to people, you can only realize it when you actually get to that point.

Gavin's current situation is very similar to a widely circulated joke in Faerûn. Two farmers were holding hoes in the field and imagining the king's luxurious life. One said: "I think His Majesty the King must eat white bread every day!" Another said: "More than that, I think His Majesty the King must use a golden hoe when going to the fields!"

This is Faerun's version of the frog in the well. The knowledge and experience they are exposed to limits their imagination. The same is true for gods. Mortals' various assumptions about gods' abilities are all based on the mortal level. From Shen Zhuan's perspective, their assumptions were just as ridiculous as those of the two farmers.

The various wonderful functions of Weizeme Manor are proof. Before this, Gavin would have never imagined that matter could be dragged on a large scale and over long distances through the power of shadow, and even moving mountains was not impossible. things.

At first, Gavin thought that this was a wonderful use of the shadow energy, using the ability to quickly fold and travel through the shadow plane. Now it seems that he has thought in the wrong direction. This is not caused by the energy attribute, but a kind of divine power characteristic. Even if it is replaced with other divine powers such as strategy, justice, conspiracy, killing, etc., this ability will be generated.

Strictly speaking, Gavin has already stolen the power of the gods for his own use with his mortal body. Now there is a lady of strategy who has taken the initiative to take the thunder for him. Before the priesthood of the Lord of the Dead falls into the hands of the conscientious Kelanwo, this divine thunder is temporarily safe.

As more and more knowledge about the gods is learned, another unique value of the Destiny Milestone is being excavated - to improve the favorability of those who affect themselves. The higher the quality of the Destiny Milestone, the greater the scope of influence of this favorability, and the greater the deflected favorability.

In the past, it was only thought that it would be beneficial to the expansion of their territory, but now it seems that there is a more far-reaching meaning.

As mentioned before, faith often starts with understanding and favorability. If these two basic foundations do not exist, how can we talk about faith? When both are available, even if you have not become a devout believer, you can be regarded as a general believer.

In other words, when Gavin chooses to ascend to godhood, those who are affected by the milestone of destiny are all his potential believers.

In short, the uniqueness of the milestone of destiny is much greater than imagined, and some things need to be continuously explored as Gavin grows.

After talking about the gains in the soul, let's talk about the gains in the material aspect.

One is the equipment looted from the monster army. More than 80% of them are rags, but there are 20% exceptions. Judging from the sophistication and craftsmanship of these equipment, they are definitely not made by monsters, but from humans or even dwarves.

These equipments may have been looted by the monsters from human caravans, or they may have been used by the Dark Castle to support and arm them in exchange for their loyalty. Some of them are magic equipments. Although most of them are of the lowest grade and the proportion is not too high, the Conqueror Army has achieved brilliant results in this war. The armors and weapons collected are more than 100,000 pieces, far exceeding the number of monsters killed by the Conqueror Army, because the monsters often throw away the armors and weapons that are not conducive to their escape during the rout.

These 100,000 pieces of equipment directly raised the overall equipment of the Conqueror Army to a higher level. Those that can be used are picked out, repaired by repair or complete repair, and directly equipped. Those that cannot be used will not be wasted. Those that can be modified will be modified on the spot, and those that cannot be modified will be melted on the spot to extract materials and remade in the furnace. Moreover, a lot of new biological materials can be squeezed out of those monsters.

Another advantage of the Conqueror Army's large size is that it includes all walks of life in society. Even if their strength is not outstanding, at least they can be used. As mentioned before, the top craftsmen will never appear among ordinary people, but among those spellcasters with good strength, because only they can forge powerful magic equipment.

This matter is no exception. Even if they were just ordinary people, they have become no longer ordinary in the process of becoming the top craftsmen. This is destined by the growth system of Faerun.

Another precious material wealth here is the Bridge of Faith.

From the beginning, Gavin did not design it as an ordinary bridge, but as a fortress across the river of the border.

It adopts eight lanes, according to the eight lanes of the building chariot traffic standard, which means that each lane is more than four meters wide (the building chariot is 3.2 meters wide and 6.5 meters long), which means that the Bridge of Faith is 32 meters wide. This alone is the first in Faerun. Except for the faith that does not cost money, who would build a bridge so wide for no reason?

But the problem is that in many cases, faith is more valuable and more difficult to collect.

In a short period of time, let alone four lanes, two lanes are enough for business travelers, but foresight, Gavin decided to keep the four lanes in the middle, and the other four lanes became the foundation for human habitation.

Of course, Gavin and his team could not build a large number of stone houses and stone buildings on the Bridge of Faith. Even if the Bridge of Faith was built by the god of travel and exploration, Shan Dakor, it was not indestructible, and the load-bearing problem must be considered.

The buildings on the Bridge of Faith are all made of wood, which is soft and light in weight. Moreover, it is not stupid to build wooden houses or wooden buildings on it. The foundation will become a new problem, and the efficiency is too low.

After brainstorming, everyone agreed to imitate the building-type chariot and build a special double-layer car building according to the size of the lane of the Bridge of Faith. It should not be too high, and a double-layer of five meters is just right. If it is higher, once encountering strong winds and waves, their stability on the bridge without shelter will be a problem.

After these double-decker garages are built at the place where the materials are produced, they are directly dragged over and then fixed end to end on the Bridge of Faith. A car city on the bridge is formed. This part alone can easily accommodate two to three thousand people.

This is only the central part of the City of Faith. It is inevitable to build fortresses at the east and west bridgeheads. This part is naturally made of stone. The stone used was not mined in the Storm Horn Mountains, but directly along the riverbed of the Border River, looking for a suitable mining point for semi-underground mining.

The Border River is sandwiched between the remnants of two mountains. Many riverbeds are not accumulated silt, but are extremely clean stone beds that have been washed away. It is much more time-saving and labor-saving to quarry stones from here than to go to the Storm Horn Mountains to quarry stones.

The West Bridge Fortress is well-behaved, with a huge arc circle. The area enclosed inside can accommodate at least 5,000 soldiers and civilians.

The shape of the East Bridge Fortress is much more irregular, and it is much larger than the East Bridge Fortress. It is more like a huge city wall than a fortress. It expands outward greatly because it needs to completely wrap up the magic field that Gavin synchronized with the ability of wind and rain.

This kind of strategically important land must of course be strictly protected.

With these ten square kilometers of arable land in the city, the future City of Faith will not be afraid of any long-term siege.

Therefore, although the coverage area here is much larger than the western bridgehead, the area that can be used for construction is smaller, which can accommodate about 3,000 soldiers and civilians.

In other words, the initial planned population of the City of Faith is about 10,000. Only a small part of the Conqueror Army will stay here, and the main body will continue to move forward. The original goal remains unchanged, which is still the valley, but the road to take next is no longer called the Conqueror Road, but the essence of their migration and conquest has not changed at all, but they will be covered with a layer of civilized cassock at that time.

Another important point of interest for the Conqueror Army is the Lizard King's Court in the Thun Swamp. How much specific gains this has, no one can tell, including the Lizard Queen herself. Her court management model is rotten. It is called the court, but it is actually just an empty shell. Usually, around her are just a group of randomly appointed ministers and generals, with a group of half-black dragon lizardmen and evil-toothed lizardmen guarding her and serving her food and drink.

She didn't care about the black-scaled lizard tribes, as long as they paid her enough wealth and food on time, with the latter being the main thing. Compared with wealth, the lizard queen was more greedy.

When the lizard queen's duration was over and she was forcibly dragged back to Vizeme Manor, the lizard army in the Borderland River sneaked back to Thun Swamp.

Gavin was not surprised by this. Previously, they took advantage of the lizard army's fear and loyalty to the lizard queen and temporarily requisitioned them. As time went by, they would gradually realize that something was wrong, especially since the lizard queen disappeared without returning to Thun Swamp. There would definitely be a backlash. If they wanted to truly bring them under their rule and make them their help in ruling the Goblin Borderland, they would need to spend a lot of effort. Previously, they had the lizard queen publicly appoint them as her new vizier in preparation for this matter.

In order to completely capture the lizardmen army, Gavin had to go deep into the Thun Swamp himself. He did not rush in alone, but before that, he went back to Vizeme Manor and summoned another important figure in the Lizard King's Court - the former vizier, the spirit naga Alhassan.

Just as they met, before Gavin could speak, the spirit naga said with snot and tears: "I am willing to hand over the Soul Stone, I am willing to hand over the Soul Stone, I only ask the Lord not to lock me up with Kulgol, even if it is void confinement."

The spirit naga was not locked up in the void confinement for three days. After the lizard queen was dragged back to Vizeme Manor, the six-armed snake demon came up with a new trick to tame the snake, which was to lock the lizard queen and the spirit naga together, or forcibly lock them in the physical state.

Doing this is killing two birds with one stone.

It can not only give the angry Lizard Queen a suitable outlet for venting, but also wear down the will of the spirit Naga who is full of pride and can give up everything for freedom.

If we talk about the person the Lizard Queen hates the most, the first one is not Gavin, but the spirit Naga Alhassan. He is not only the one who gave her a fatal blow, but also an outright betrayer. Traitors have always been the most hated.

The most important thing is that the series of strengths shown by Gavin are too evil. The Lizard Queen is a little timid. She dares not hate and has no ability to hate. She can only transfer all her anger to the spirit Naga, and even blame him for her current fate.

There will be no second result of putting the two of them together.

The Lizard Queen directly ate the spirit Naga alive, which means literally. She used her teeth to grind the spirit Naga into pieces bit by bit before swallowing it into her stomach.

But they are not ordinary creatures now, and they are in the Vizeme Manor. How can they die so easily?

In just three minutes, the spirit naga will be resurrected in front of the Lizard Queen, and then there will be a new round of inhumane torture, each time with different tricks, chewing, eating, crushing, dragon breath, etc. The Lizard Queen will use all the tricks she can think of on the spirit naga.

Especially when the Lizard Queen found that the cycle of death continued indefinitely, she began to have more patience. She no longer simply killed the spirit naga, but consciously slowed down the process, letting him taste more pain and despair.

Don't forget the true origin of Vizeme Manor - the realm of undead revenge.
