Chapter 660 There are many paths in the multiverse

When this power fell on the legendary arcanist, an unexpected event occurred. The mist wrapped around her body, as if it had its own activity, not only tried to prevent the power of the road from falling on her, but also tried to use the power of the road as a medium to flow back and infect Gavin and pull him into his ranks.

Before Gavin increased his strength to keep him out, Felanxini shouted coldly: "Although I can't get rid of you, you can't hurt people in front of me, come back..."

Not only Felanxini's whole body, but also her magic book and magic hut lit up, and an overwhelming suction force firmly absorbed the mist power wrapped around her.

Felanxini's dream has not been built yet, but it has already begun to produce power. At least in front of the mist power, she is no longer powerless to fight back.

Although the power of the road shot by Gavin is not large, it is like a cone, directly poking a small hole in the thin mist layer and sinking into Felanxini's body.

In the dark, Gavin felt that he had established a mysterious connection with Felancini.

Originally, no matter how close the two stood, Gavin always felt that he was infinitely far away from her. There were layers of planes and layers of fog between them, and in front of him was just a shadow made of fog.

Now it was just the opposite. The connection between the two was no longer blocked by distance or even planes. It was like only a layer of gauze, within reach.

This kind of spiritual connection also existed in other granters of paving, but it was far less obvious than Felancini. She could barely sense their direction. This was naturally related to the special situation of the legendary arcanist.

Ether, shadow, fairy wilderness and astral world are also called transitional planes or transparent worlds. They have the ability to connect other outer planes with the material plane. Whether it is teleportation, advanced teleportation or teleportation array, it is limited to the teleportation of the plane. If you want to cross planes, you either look for a portal with the ability to teleport across planes, or enter these transitional planes to find portals to other planes.

Due to the danger of these planes and other reasons, the Ether Plane is the first choice for all plane travel, followed by the Shadow Plane, then the Astral Plane, and finally the Feywild. The Feywild is ranked last, not because it is much more dangerous than the other three, but because the places it connects are usually special, and the terrain is more extreme than the material plane, either high mountains or dense forests, or even vicious swamps. It is extremely inconvenient for most extraordinary professionals to travel here.

They can be infinitely far or infinitely close to the material plane, depending on whether there is an anchor point between the two sides.

The paving technique that Gavin gave to Felanxini became the anchor point connecting the two sides and a road for the spiritual connection between the two. Although it is very subtle, just like a goat path, it cannot be denied that it does exist. The fog entangled with the legendary arcanist has no ability to cut it off. Although this power is strange and powerful, it has a flaw, that is, it is unintelligent and operates according to the law. If its preset law is not triggered, there is no way to provoke its full resistance.

This connection is obviously not one-sided. Felanxini also felt it. Suddenly, her interest in this spell was raised to the extreme. While trying to analyze the paving spell, she said: "The power of this spell may be more powerful than you and I imagined. There are many kinds of roads in this world. There are roads in the material plane that are visible to the naked eye, and there are also those cross-dimensional roads that are invisible to the naked eye. If you can find a way to use this ability to pave an unprecedented road in the ether or shadow plane, let alone other planes, even if you only connect two points in the material plane, the achievements you can get from it will be unprecedented. At that time, your footsteps will not be limited to Faerun, and you can even go to other material planes and even the multiverse."

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Substantial light shot out from Gavin's eyes, which was a sign that his brain began to work rapidly.

Yes, how could I forget the multi-dimensional characteristics of the multiverse and only limit my vision to the material plane, instead of looking at all planes and connecting them completely?

In fact, three months ago, he had already tasted the advantages of large-scale inter-dimensional teleportation - the Elf Midsummer Night sang by the Three Rivers of the Battle Valley and the Dragon Oak Mother Tree of the Spring Bud Forest. In just one night, he completed a large-scale exchange of troops between the Rocky Land and the Battle Valley.

This incident has established a close connection between the Three Rivers and the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, which can sing once a year to open a temporary curtain to the two places. All he has to do is to work harder to make this temporary curtain permanent. Although it is difficult, it is not helpless, especially with the full support of the elves led by Lord Virginia, I believe that the difficulty of the matter will be further reduced.

If you travel from the Rocky Land to the Three Rivers of the Battle Valley, even if you change the route in the Misty Valley and go downstream along the Asaba River with a large number of ships, it will take at least 500 kilometers of land plus 200 kilometers of water. If you go purely by land, it will become 900 kilometers.

But if the veil is opened, even if it is not directly connected, it is only 120 kilometers away from the veil of the Rockland Tear Lake to the location of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.

This is still a relatively common and localized usage of Faerun.

Now Gavin's mind is surging with an unprecedented idea that makes him shudder just thinking about it.

The legend of the mysterious witch and the seven goblins has fully proved the plasticity of the etheric plane. Reality and illusion can form the most perfect combination. Can he use this legend and his increasingly powerful influence in paving roads to create a road in the etheric plane that runs through the entire continent and even connects different continents? It can not only cross mountains, but also lakes and oceans. All obstacles in the material plane have no effect on it.

However, given that the various dangers in the etheric plane (such as unique environmental traps and various etheric monsters) are fatal to ordinary people, this road should not be presented in the form of a highway, but a railway. This can not only effectively protect the safety of those passengers, but also make it easier to popularize and low-profile. At the same time, it can also concentrate the faith and thoughts of hundreds of people, and in turn protect the safety of the train.

Just like the Conqueror's Road, if there was no army of conquerors led by Gavin, and just such a road was opened in the wilderness, the influence and subsequent gains would not be so great.

Not only the ether railway and ether train, why can't ether tunnels be built in those mountains?

Gavin has tasted the convenience of building bridges with faith in the Goblin Borderland, and knows that once it is used well, faith will be an unimaginable huge force, which will in turn act on reality.

If you want to use the road priesthood as the foundation of your own godhood, you must not simply rely on the roads in reality, which can be targeted and destroyed by humans. But if you create a new conceptual thing, as long as this concept is still being used by people and new roads are being built, whether it is from his hands or not, it can provide him with faith and power. This is the strength of the concept god.

In addition, what about sea routes? What about inland river transportation? What about air routes? The portal network is also a kind of road. This road is not limited to this plane, but can also be extended to other material planes and even the entire multiverse. As long as you dare to think and do it, this road priesthood will have huge potential to be tapped. If you understand it, I dare not say that powerful gods will be able to escape, but medium-level gods will not be able to escape.

It is also a neutral priesthood, and many gods can establish connections with it.

For example, the god of exploration and travel, Shanda Kor, will definitely lean towards him. After all, with good roads, he will be more convenient to travel and explore. However, there may be another situation, that is, Shanda Kor wants to seize the road priesthood to make his name as the god of the road worthy of its name. Don't think too much of the gods, and don't think that Shanda Kor helped Gavin raise a bridge of faith, and the relationship between the two sides will be close. That's because the interests of both parties were the same before. If he saw enough benefits in it, it was not uncommon to plunder. There were also betrayals and robbery among the gods, but what they sought was not ordinary wealth, but the divinity, godhood, priesthood and even believers of the gods.

For example, the goddess of trade and wealth, Wojin, her priesthood relies on roads, even more than Shanda Kor.

Another example is the Lady of Strategy, who is the closest to Gavin, and the war gods behind her. With the advancement of modern warfare, their demand for roads will increase significantly. Whoever has a more convenient means of transportation will have the initiative in the war, making long-distance and large-scale mobilization of troops a reality.

Even many evil gods, if they want to develop and gain more believers, they must also pay attention to the road priesthood, including those gods who seem to be purely for destruction, such as the goddess of poison and disease Talona (if there is convenient transportation, many diseases and plagues will no longer be limited to one place, let alone the entire continent, even the entire planet and the entire multiverse will be infected), such as the goddess of doom Benshaba (all kinds of traffic accidents, various accidents, etc., are all within the jurisdiction of her priesthood).

In other words, they don't need to do anything at all. As the road develops, their strength will rise with the tide. This is the benefit of the new priesthood development. It will cause a series of chain reactions and impact the existing layout of gods. Those gods who benefit from it will naturally stand on the side of the new priesthood development, and those who are affected will strongly oppose it.

The road priesthood has an advantage in this matter. There are definitely more gods who agree than those who oppose it.

Flanxini didn't know that because of her words, Gavin actually extended such a thing. Her analysis was coming to an end. She said to Gavin: "There is a good news and a bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"

"What is the good news?"

"The good news is that it is not difficult to reproduce and analyze this spell. After the analysis is completed, it is also a three-ring spell. It is not difficult to get started."

"The bad news is not that this spell has a duration, and it will completely dissipate after a few minutes or hours?" Gavin followed Flanxini's words and guessed her next bad news.

Most spells have a duration, and they vary according to the strength of the magic effect produced. They are recorded in seconds, in rounds (one round every six seconds), in minutes, and in hours. Only a few changes in days, years, centuries, etc. are permanent. This kind of magic is usually closer to the laws of physics and has less impact on reality, such as stone shaping, turning fossils into mud, etc.

These spells are usually affected by the external environment. Take the fossil-to-mud example. Without a continuous supply of water, the land that has been fossilized to mud will soon dry out and turn into hard soil, sand, etc. It may also be dug out artificially and then filled where it is needed. Casting a dispel magic on it can turn it back into a stone of the same material as the original. This is the building of the conqueror's army along the way. The most commonly used method when traveling.

The frequency of application in Heijing iron ore mining has also begun to increase significantly, and it has gradually surpassed the stone shaping technique, because this can kill two birds with one stone. It can not only save the blasting of flutter bombs, but also deal with some flutter bombs that are not suitable for processing. tailings and dangerous mines, and the mine pits can be backfilled and reinforced in retrospect.

The reason why it is used now is because turning fossils into mud is a five-ring spell that can only be cast by extraordinary spellcasters, while stone shaping is only a three-ring spell that must meet the minimum requirements to use it.

In fact, the largest scale application was in the construction of the City of Faith. With the assistance of a large number of extraordinary spellcasters, they opened a quarry on the left and right around the river bed downstream of the Bridge of Faith. Fossils to Mud turned these solid obsidian stones into pools of soft mud, and then transported them to both sides of the river to build cities.

The mud made of high-quality obsidian stones will be molded into houses.

And those that are more inferior are either used to lay the ground of the city, or are used as materials for casting city walls.

After the construction is completed, cast a dispel magic on them, and these mud houses or mud walls will return to their original appearance. Other spells such as dispel magic will not be effective on them because they are not magically constructed. , but with the help of magic, they have changed their original position and shape. This is a purely physical effect rather than magic.

With a large number of spellcasters, since these hard stones have turned into soft mud, how could they possibly let them simply change their physical form?

Shape them into mud bricks, and then engrav them with a large number of magic runes. This does not even require craftsmen to master magic rune carving. They only need to engrave them on the tools used to make mud bricks. The kind with magic runes Mud bricks can be quickly produced in batches.

One or two magic mud bricks have no magical effect, but when tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, are arranged and combined in a unique order under the command of extraordinary spellcasters, various magical effects can occur. born.

The specific effects will not be seen until the City of Faith is successfully built, but Gavin believes that when the City of Faith is built, the world will be shocked again, because he also has this city-building method in his hands. After a large amount of resources, the original method behind his imagination is unparalleled.

This kind of magic quarry is the general direction for the future development of quarries, but it is unrealistic for each quarry to have a large number of extraordinary spellcasters. The army of conquerors can go to war in the City of Faith. , the food is still the bonus of Ms. Strategy. All her exclusive sacrifices from all over the continent are concentrated here and have not yet left. Once the conqueror army leaves this place, those exclusive sacrifices begin to be diverted. Even if Gavin wants to copy the construction of the City of Faith mode, cannot be achieved in a short period of time.

But Gavin, who has seen the industrial civilization of another world, has some workarounds. Just change and influence the existing magic education system appropriately, and focus on cultivating talents similar to Tessel who specialize in the use of staffs and wands. Battlefield spellcasters should first develop their staff and magic wand application abilities so that they can cast extraordinary staffs at level five or six. As for the source of magic staffs, as long as there is a large demand in the market, those who specialize in this The extraordinary casters who work together will naturally produce a large number of them.

Don't think that extraordinary spellcasters won't bend down for wealth. They just won't do it for small fortunes. If the benefits are big enough, they will definitely flock to them. And the staffs made are big enough, and any one can start with ten thousand gold. The reason why they don't produce in large quantities is entirely due to market reasons.

Those who have the ability to cast a wand usually have spellcasters with spellcasting abilities that match these spells. They can solve things with their spell slots and will never consider a wand that costs money. Most wands are used as The spare ones are used to make up for the situation of not preparing relevant spells or running out of spell slots that day, so the consumption is naturally very low.

How could someone like Gavin directly prepare to use wands and staffs as consumables for infrastructure and consume them in batches and on a large scale? Once he does this, it means that the entire magic application market structure will be completely disrupted.

"Yes." Filancini nodded, confirming Gavin's guess: "The analyzed paving spell does exist for a period of time. It lasts for one hour per casting level, and the coverage range is ten times that of the paving spell you gave it. Each time you cast the spell, The level is one hundred meters, and the restrictions are exactly the same as those given by you. They change as the environment changes. If you want to make them permanent, you must use the five-ring magic constancy spell to make them permanent.”
