Chapter 661: Hard to tell the real from the fake

"Magic constancy?" Upon hearing this name, Gavin knew that it was basically impossible to build roads on a large scale through this spell. "Why is there such a big difference?"

Because this spell does not require additional casting materials, it burns the caster's professional experience just like the wish spell. According to the required constant magic effect, the required professional levels are also different. For example, a constant one on a certain person. Huan's enlargement or reduction technique only requires 500 points of professional experience.

This is why the hobgoblin giants on the Giant Plains have been able to live freely for so many years, but they have not been captured by the spell casters as servants. Compared with this effort, as long as those extraordinary spell casters can give up part of their professional experience, It is not difficult to create a batch of pseudo-giant slaves in batches, and their properties are the same as those of the hobgoblin giants. They are also not hereditary. In essence, they are still the race before they became giants.

On the other hand, it can be said that the hobgoblin giant is a hobgoblin that has been permanently transformed into a giant.

The same is true for the gigantic animals produced in the Giant Plains, so their prices are only several times higher than ordinary animals, not to an outrageous level, because when it comes to extraordinary spellcasters, this is not something that cannot be copied, just want to As they get bigger, they can no longer use the permanent giant transformation spell, but mutate animals, which is a five-ring spell that can only be effective on animals below giant size, allowing them to change from large to super large, or super large to giant. superposition.

Enlargement is a spell for humanoid creatures, and it can only be effective on creatures below large. If you want to make large humanoids giant, you must use advanced enlargement. Moreover, there is no way to add up the enlargement and advanced enlargement. Yes, you cannot use the Giant Transformation spell to become giant, and then use the Advanced Giant Transformation spell to further grow in size.

This is the real value of the hobgoblin giants and gigantic animals produced in the Giant Plains. When they use magic, their basic size is calculated based on their current size. They can all use advanced giant transformation and mutated animals to further increase their size. .

For a nine-ring magic like a constant teleportation circle, the professional experience required will be increased nine times to 4,500 points, and the actual number will be determined based on the transmission effect of the constant teleportation circle. The more powerful the effect. , the demand will naturally be greater.

If you want to have a constant three-ring paving technique, you need at least 1,500 points of professional experience.

Even if it is laid one kilometer at a time, the cost is too high.

However, this does not mean that this paving technique has no value at all. Its role will not be in infrastructure, but as a tactical application. For example, if you want the army to quickly pass through a rugged and difficult-to-travel strategic area that is not too far away. At that time, only a group of middle and low-level spellcasters were needed to quickly lay out a temporary road of more than ten kilometers or even dozens of kilometers. After passing through, it would not leave any consequences. If the enemy was not prepared, the enemy would rush in. If you come in, you will most likely be trapped in a special terrain, and you can even rely on this spell to fight a counterattack.

It's just that the difference between the two spells is too big.

"The root knot should be caused by the energy supply." Filancini has obviously considered Gavin's problem. "Your paving spell follows the same path as divine spell, but it is essentially a divine grace spell. For this spell What is powered is not ordinary magic power, but the power of the road. Each bit of road power gives this spell the opportunity to be used once a day. This unique divine power related to the road absorbs those magical powers and turns them into permanent roads.

The paving technique cast through spells is just a simple aggregation of magic power. It lacks the most critical point of divine power to take effect, and slowly and naturally collapses. In this aspect, divine power has advantages that ordinary magic power does not have.

This is not entirely a bad thing, it makes your pavement spell more valuable. In a short period of time, you will be in a monopoly position, and even those kingdoms that have a large number of spellcasters will not be able to follow suit. "

"That's right." Gavin had obviously thought of this possibility. "But I underestimated this ability. In this case, I need to adjust my strategic thinking. Previously, I only wanted to get it right in one step and directly lay an eight-meter-wide Now that I think about it, there is no need for the two-way lane in the short term. In other words, it will be carried out in two phases. In the first phase, only a four-meter-wide lane will be paved. When it is urgently needed, the other half of the lane will be paved. By then, with the same number of paving teams, the efficiency will be doubled.”

His heart was somewhat overwhelmed by the army of conquerors. He wanted to do many things in one step, but he forgot that there was a benefit in taking things step by step, and he could use good steel on the blade.

In fact, the width of the Conqueror's Road itself exceeds that of most of Faerûn's trade roads. Even those main trade roads are generally only four to five meters wide. After all, the width of ordinary heavy trucks is generally about two meters, such as floor-type chariots. It's not that there are no more than three meters, but they are rare. After all, the towing power of livestock needs to be considered. The conqueror army also purchased a large number of gigantic livestock in the Giant Plains, and then they dared to increase the number of floor-type chariots and side carriages. quantity.

If you don't consider the problem of your own heavy trucks, you don't even need to be four meters wide. Three meters wide is enough. After all, when using livestock, no matter how good the road conditions are, it is difficult to drive more than 50 or 60 kilometers.

In addition, there is also the problem of vehicle density. Even if many caravans walk on the trade road for a day, they may not encounter a caravan, let alone the problem of the wrong car.

Just having a road is not enough. The technological innovation of transportation is also a big problem. This problem is not within the scope of today's discussion.

"Have you ever considered what effect will be produced if you cast Pavement twice on the same person?" The legendary arcanist pointed out a new direction for Gavin's spell. Due to the uniqueness of this spell, Flancini can only provide suggestions.

"I haven't really thought about this. We can try it." Gavin has a relatively wide range of people to give it to, so he doesn't need to consider this direction for the time being. However, since it has been proposed, it is natural to try it out. It is very necessary to understand all aspects of the ability in his hands.

In view of the unique connection between the two people created by Pavement, although Flancini's mastery of Pavement is not very useful, Gavin is not going to take it back. If possible, it doesn't matter if he invests a little more in it.

It works!

Gavin was delighted. When he guided the power of the road to pour into Felanxini again, there was no sign of the fog trying to block it this time, because the power of the road was directly transmitted along the previous channel, and it actually connected the original one, and produced visible changes around the legendary arcanist.

Not only was it feasible, but it also gave rise to unexpected changes. The Paving Spell was upgraded and was no longer a three-ring spell, but a four-ring spell. Nothing else changed, including the number of uses. The only thing that changed was that the coverage area increased by three times.

In this case, how could Gavin hesitate? He directly threw the third Paving Spell to Felanxini, allowing the change to continue. The four rings became five rings, and the coverage area increased by three times again on the basis of the four rings.

This is a typical magic aggregation reaction. Most spells will have similar improvements after being improved and upgraded.

Considering that it was obtained in exchange for three Paving Spells, it was actually a three-fold improvement. Even so, it was still quite amazing.

"It's a pity that the restrictions are a bit too big." Gavin sighed with regret.

Nothing can be stacked indefinitely, not even divine grace.

When trying to grant the second Pavement spell, Gavin received a prompt that the recipient must have twelve life dice to receive the second grant, and the third time was increased to eighteen life dice. This is a quasi-legend. Such existences can be counted on one hand in the Conqueror Army. They are either generals of an army or core forces. Even if Gavin is extravagant, he can't send such people out to build roads.

Even if there are twelve life dice kobolds, there are only a few dozen in the Dragon Oak Territory. They are also the best and leaders in various industries. There are really not many who can be transferred.

After all the calculations, this is at best a supplement. In the short term, the main thing is to use the dog-headed man who can only be given one chance to use it. Felanxini will be the only person who Gavin has given the Pavement Spell three times for a long time in the future. Its greatest significance is to make the connection between the two closer and the mutual perception clearer, but it is difficult to describe in words how much closer they are. I can only say that it is definitely clearer and more subtle than before, and it is definitely worth it.

"Is there any way to analyze this fine gold spell?" Gavin handed the War Predator to Felanxini and asked.

"I have heard of this spell. It is a supreme spell unique to the elves, at least an eight-ring spell. If you give me a spell scroll or something, I can try to help you analyze it, but as a divine weapon, the special ability of a high-level divine weapon is far beyond my ability." Felanxini did not take the War Predator.

People can be arrogant, but they cannot be self-aware. As the owner of a divine weapon, the legendary arcanist is very clear about the uniqueness of the artifact. Many things involve the application of the law level, which is carried out through divinity, divine power and priesthood. This is beyond the scope of mortal ability. Without that level, it is difficult to glimpse the essence.

"Forget it then." Gavin did not feel too much regret.

The power of almighty gold is based on the premise that you already have a large amount of almighty gold alloy equipment. However, since all the equipment that has been integrated with almighty gold is basically not ordinary, at least it is magic equipment above +3, which is enough for ordinary families to use as heirlooms and will not be easily sold.

The Conqueror Caravan has been busy with this matter. Not only West Gate, but also Waterdeep, Baldur's Gate, etc., a series of more famous trading cities on the continent of Faerun have sent corresponding acquisition personnel, but the feedback is not optimistic.

Either there is nothing to sell, and it takes a long time to collect it, waiting for the owners to come to the door, or the price is ridiculously high, even comparable to the fine gold equipment. When there is no profit, Gavin is not bored and does not make wedding clothes for others. Instead, he can buy some fine gold more or less, and the price is relatively normal. This kind of raw material is not something that everyone can use. Instead of keeping it in hand, it is better to cash it out.

If you want to maximize the potential of this spell, you have to customize the fine gold alloy equipment in batches.

"If there are no other questions, I will start." Felanxini turned the topic back to her dream experiment.

"Let's start." Gavin's clear memory of tonight is limited to this.

When he regained consciousness, he was already in the secret room of the Stone Stallion Hotel, lying naked on the soft and comfortable big bed, and his spirit was fuller than ever before.

It was because of the rare and sufficient rest, and also because of the erotic dream that was hard to distinguish between true and false.

He did not lose his memory like he had drunk too much, but his memory became like a real dream, a little fuzzy, a little confused, and a combination of the real and the unreal. Even the fact that Gavin entered the Felanxini Magic House, he could not insist now. Did he enter it himself, or did he enter it in a dream? Was the Felanxini Magic House he saw real? Or was it the appearance shown in the dream?

Perhaps because of the dream, both Gavin and Felancini became reckless. Don't forget that Gavin is a psychic who has the ability to control his body that ordinary people don't have, including some fine-tuning of size. He can make his right arm nearly twice as thick as his left arm, and instantly burst out with power comparable to a large body. This ability is naturally not limited to the arm.

This is no longer just a win by size. This is a standard tailor-made. The lethality is absolutely top-notch, and it will definitely leave an indelible impression on those who have tasted it.

Gavin just tasted it and threw it behind his mind. Whether it is a dream or reality, the difference is not particularly big. This means that his relationship with Felancini has become closer. This kind of closeness is difficult to achieve through ordinary social interaction. Only those who have similar experiences can taste it.

This time Gavin was still in no hurry to leave the Stone Stallion Inn, because a few days ago, he sent a letter to meet with Mother Gowther, and he wanted to recruit soldiers for a war without gunpowder in the Kingdom of Cormyr.

Gavin is now just using the Conqueror Army to create the momentum for the Kingdom of Cormyr to grant him the Baron of Rockland, but it does not mean that this is a done deal, and there will be many obstacles.

This resistance comes from the outside, such as the Kingdom of Sembia, the newly established Eight Cities Alliance of the Dragon Coast, and even the Zhentarim. They are not only worried about the continued growth of the Conqueror Army, but they are also worried that the Kingdom of Cormyr will take advantage of the situation to expand outward, thus becoming more aggressive, especially the Eight Cities Alliance. Although they were neighbors with the Kingdom of Cormyr before, the two sides were separated by a Dragon Lake after all, and there was no direct territory connection. But if they can use this method to conquer the Goblin Border, they can directly attack Persian Library.

There is also resistance from within. Those forces that have plotted against the Rockland, such as the Red Crow Mercenaries and the rulers of the city of Tifton, have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in order to seize the Baron of Rockland. Naturally, they are unwilling to give it up easily and will definitely find ways to obstruct it. Even if the Conqueror Army is unstoppable, if they influence the royal family to make the division of the Rockland smaller, and exclude Tifton and the surrounding Red Spring Reclamation Area, once that happens, the value of the Rockland will be greatly reduced.

In this war without gunpowder, thousands of troops are not as good as one mouth.

And this is what the Conqueror Army lacks. The exclusive sacrifice of Lady Strategy cannot be used in this situation.

The obvious faction tendency is their biggest disadvantage. They have fallen behind before they even open their mouths. After all, everyone knows that Gavin is the elect of Lady Strategy.

And Gowther's mother is an out-and-out outsider. Although Gavin has made a lot of moves in Anfield Village, it is a small place in a remote and poor area. Many people will not pay attention to this place, let alone his close relationship with a small Happy Hall. It is easier to open up the situation in some things. She is the most capable person Gavin has ever seen and has a lot of friends in the City of Glory.

Now the only thing to worry about is whether he can convince her to join his camp.

The other party left the noisy and bustling Waterdeep City and ran to the remote Anfield Village to open a Happy Hall. There must be a reason for her. Although under his influence, she has deviated from the simple operation of the Happy Hall, doing business and intervening in the political situation are another matter.

"Tsk tsk... Supreme Commander of the Conqueror's Army, Conqueror of the Conqueror's Road, Chosen of Lady Strategy... When we first met, I felt that you were extraordinary. I didn't expect you to be so extraordinary. In just two months, you have created such brilliant achievements. If it weren't for the horse farm owners who drove back herds of giant livestock from the Giant Plains, we would have doubted whether the legendary Gavin was the same person we knew..."

Gowther's mother sighed as if she was looking at a rare animal, circling around Gavin, as if she wanted to find more differences from him.

Tomorrow, double updates will resume
