Chapter 943 Golden Apple Tree Man

The condition of the golden apple tree is highly similar to that of the mother dragon oak tree.

She is the real controller of the golden apple tree. If the golden apple tree is made into the god of apple trees, she will be the one who truly controls the divine power.

Don't underestimate the development potential of the narrow priesthood of Apple Tree.

There is a reason why apples can be ranked alongside wheat and pumpkins.

Without considering magic, there are only two ways to obtain large amounts of sugar in Faerûn.

One is honey and the other is apples.

Some fruits contain far more sugar than apples.

However, their distribution range, adaptability to the natural environment and ease of storage are all different from apples.

Especially in the winter in the north, apples are the only fruit on the tables of many ordinary people's families.

"The golden apple tree does have inherent advantages. After all, the golden apple orchard has been passed down in the Fairy Wilderness for tens of thousands of years. Before it was lost, it has always been a gathering place for the surrounding fairies.

Every year during the apple ripening season, the Golden Apple Orchard is open to all kind spirits to enjoy the gifts of nature.

This has given Golden Apple Orchard a long-lasting reputation.

If the Golden Apple Orchard reopens and publicity is launched, I believe many fey will be willing to believe it. "

Lord Virginia changed the subject and said, "But the Apple Priesthood, this is something owned by an owner. If we do this, how will the Earth Mother react?"

"This is an extension and refinement of the priesthood. If we try to separate this priesthood from the Mother Earth, we will inevitably encounter strong opposition.

But what if we put this matter under the name of Mother Earth from the very beginning and carry out it with her banner high?

We can start with apple tree breeding, grafting, and standardized planting.

This can also be integrated with the development of my territory in the material plane.

When you can bring tangible benefits to those fruit farmers, they will naturally respect you. "

There are several gods in Faerûn whose positions are extremely stable and unshakable, and the Earth Mother Goddess Chantia is one of them.

She is one of the oldest gods in the Pan-Faerun pantheon. After the moon goddess Selun and the night goddess Shar jointly created the world of Toril, they felt that the world was too desolate and monotonous, so they jointly gave life to this land.

The first being born from it was Chang Tiya.

When the two creation goddesses were locked in an endless war, she had been silently guarding the land, driving away evil beings who tried to get involved in the world.

Therefore, many believers insist that Changdea is the source of all life. Today, there are many races in the world, all due to the work of the Mother Earth.

Although many people do not agree with this view, they will also pay respect to the Mother Earth and call her "Great Mother".

What truly makes Mother Earth enduring is her ability to keep pace with the times.

When the whole world was in the primitive wilderness, she was dominated by wildness and nature. At that time, she was called Zhannas, the Mother of the Earth. She liked to run with animals and rejoiced in the unhindered prosperity of nature.

Even to this day, the inhabitants of the Moonshae Isles still worship the entire ancient aspect of the Great Mother.

But in recent thousands of years, especially in recent centuries, Changdea has obviously become more fond of intelligent creatures in this world, especially humans, and the priesthood has begun to shift towards farming.

Although she still advocates respect for nature and encourages the inhabitants of civilized areas to restore the damage they have caused to nature, she has ceded jurisdiction over the wilderness areas to other nature gods, such as the god of nature, Silvanus.

Her priesthood began with a focus on agriculture, crops grown by humans, farmers, gardeners, summer, etc.

It's hard to say clearly. It was this change in the priesthood of the Mother Earth that promoted the prosperity of farming and agriculture?

Or was it the explosive growth of population brought about by the development of human farming and agriculture, which affected the transformation of Shantiya's priesthood.

Either way, the two complement each other.

It doesn't matter.

The important thing is that if you want to develop your territory in Faerûn, you cannot avoid the Earth Mother Goddess Chantia.

Gavin had long wanted to have a relationship with him, but he never had the right opportunity.

Golden Apple Orchard is a good entry point.

The golden light shining on Stelina's beautiful face became more intense, and she said hurriedly: "When it comes to planting apple trees, our Golden Apple Orchard really has advantages that ordinary people can't compare with."

"Oh? What advantage?" Gavin asked.

"Although the golden apple tree seedlings transplanted from the golden apple orchard will lose their two special attributes of Titan and the magic berry.

But the size of the apples produced and the survival rate of the seedlings are still not comparable to ordinary apples.

In the past, many apple trees were transplanted from the Golden Apple Orchard.

The apple trees in Apple Ridge of Chunya Forest are all transplanted from apple orchards.

Although the golden apple trees in other parts of the Fairy Wilderness are not as concentrated as Apple Ridge, they are widely distributed and the number is quite large.

The apple tree people born from our golden apple orchard are closely related to apples and possess the characteristics of tending ordinary golden apple trees. "

There was unconcealable pride in Stelina's words.

This is one of Golden Apple Orchard's great contributions to the Feywild.

Many fey gathering points or miniature villages are built on a golden apple tree or a small patch.

As long as they are located somewhere, they will inevitably become a stable food source in the area and play an important role in maintaining the ecological stability of an area.

"Golden Apple Garden has this advantage, so it will be easier to do." Gavin said enthusiastically, "In the future, Golden Apple Garden will be positioned as an apple breeding base, breeding as many apple seedlings as possible.

Whether it is the junction of cultivated land and forest land, or mountainous land like rock land, it is very suitable for fruit tree planting.

If we start large-scale fruit tree planting, then it will not only be the Mother Goddess of the Earth who will be honored, but also the gods of nature will be very happy to see it."

This matter can perfectly fit in with his development plan.

Whether it is the valley or the giant valley, especially the latter.

Compared with large-scale cultivation of grain, the giant valley people who are more inclined to nature are more receptive to this kind of fruit tree planting and have more advantages.

In any case, in terms of grain planting, Gavin already has the Xianglong people and the Kronte territory.

"This is easy!" Stelina said confidently, "I just need to slightly adjust the overall focus of the Golden Apple Orchard. The Golden Apple Orchard can produce a new round of apple seedlings every month, and the number is guaranteed to be no less than 100,000."

Gavin shook his head and said, "We don't need so many. The material plane is different from the Fey Wilds. It is subject to climate restrictions. Not all seasons are suitable for transplanting. I believe that the Fey Wilds don't have such a large open space and manpower.

At that time, it will be the personnel who will limit our transplanting. After all, it will take time for ordinary farmers to accept golden apples. After they see the yield of golden apple trees, they can only be planted collectively by the territory army in the early stage."

Gavin is already familiar with this.

Whether it is the Battle Valley or Kront, they all implement the military control mode, which is commonly known as military dictatorship.

In Gavin's previous life, dictatorship was an absolutely negative word.

But in Faerun, this kind of ruling mode is commonplace.

Whether it is an evil guild like the Zhentarim, the Red Mage Kingdom of Sel, or the slavery of Calimshan, they are all outright dictatorships, all of which serve one person or a very small group of people.

This model also has its own advantages. They can unconditionally implement the decisions of those in power, even if they cannot fully understand the deep meaning of such decisions.

If the person in power is incompetent or arrogant, it is very likely that this force will be led into an abyss of no return.

But if the person in power has a vision far beyond the secular world, he can often make some forward-looking decisions, allowing the country and the territory to be far ahead of the entire era in some aspects.

Gavin is now obviously the latter.

A series of great achievements in the past have made him have a large number of believers in the territory, and his orders are executed more thoroughly.

Sterlina's eyes fell on Lord Virginia involuntarily, and the meaning of the inquiry was self-evident.

Although the relationship between the two lords is extremely close, there are some procedures that have to be followed, after all, he swore allegiance to Lord Virginia.

Lord Virginia seemed to sense Stelina's thoughts and responded with a smile: "This is something that we have been looking for. Mother Earth is the mother of all our natural lives, and this will not change because of the change in her priesthood.

Long ago, I suggested that Uncle Carloli dedicate the Golden Apple Garden to Mother Earth.

According to her generosity and kindness, not only will she not covet what she has gained here, but she can even get more rewards for it.

It's a pity that my uncle has concerns and has not done so, but has given those drow elves an opportunity.

Why don't we take the opportunity to dedicate it to Mother Earth in exchange for her recognition in this regard."

Stelina said without hesitation: "I am willing to obey the arrangements of the two lords."

Her horizons have been completely opened in the past year. Whether it is her ability to accept and her far-sightedness, she is far superior to those stubborn and conservative fairies.

"Since we are dedicating it to Mother Earth, we should try to maximize the benefits." Gavin paced back and forth. "The current structural layout of the Golden Apple Orchard does not match the name of the apple orchard. Whether it is the use of space or the number of various vines and weeds inside, it makes this place more like an apple forest.

Since we want to create the God of Apple, we should make this place a model of apple orchard, readjust the positions of these apple trees, and make full use of every inch of space."

It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to adjust the positions of trees on a large scale.

It is not the case for natural races.

Whether it is those tree people or those spirits, as long as they are a little stronger, they have the ability to drive away trees.

Not to mention, the Golden Apple Orchard itself is not an ordinary apple orchard. Now with the help of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, the ability in this regard is even more extreme.

There is only more mysterious, not the most mysterious.

Gavin suddenly remembered something and asked, "You just said that the Golden Apple Tree People in the Golden Apple Garden have the ability to raise apple trees? Do you have any basic data to share with us?"

In the early construction of his territory, the tree people and trees enlightened by the enlightenment given by the Destiny Milestone occupied an extremely important part.

Although their importance has been diluted with the development of power, he no longer has to use his enlightenment as before.

But his attention to these activated plants has never been low, and their role is still irreplaceable in many places.

For example, in the jungle, and in lifting, their size is there, and their advantages are irreplaceable.

With the arrival of large-scale infrastructure construction in the territory, more and more places will need to use them.

Aiwujiwu, whenever he heard news about the unique tree people, Gavin was very interested.

"My lords, please take a look." Stelina didn't waste any time and directly pulled out a tree attribute template.

Vitality: 188 (14D12+98)

Size: Giant

Attributes: Strength 26, Agility 10, Constitution 24, Intelligence 14, Perception 18, Charisma 13

Special Abilities: Mimicry (Ex) - The tree of initiation is stationary and looks exactly like a regular golden apple tree.

Activating trees (special ability) - The treant can use his own magic power to activate one or two trees around 18 meters away, bringing them into an activated state. The attributes of the activated trees are similar to those of the enlightened trees, but with intelligence and charm. For one point, and only has one attack method: slam.

After the tree is activated, it will automatically deactivate after one day or death. If it dies in the activated state, it will also die after deactivation. If the surrounding species are apple trees, the number of activations will be doubled.

Spreading branches and leaves (special ability) - If it takes root in one location for more than a month, a varying number of golden apple saplings will inevitably grow nearby 18 meters away. These saplings will survive even after the tree man leaves. , the number of golden apple saplings is related to the physique of the golden apple sapling and the time it takes to take root.

Siege Monster (Ex) - Doubles damage against objects and buildings, especially woodwork.

Rolling over (extraordinary strength reward) - Those who are smaller than themselves will be at a disadvantage in strength confrontation and are more likely to be knocked down and trampled.

Apple Symbiosis (Extraordinary Constitution Reward) - If there are more than ten apple trees in the area where the Tree Man takes root (Physique Adjustment Value/100 meters), the Tree Man's recovery ability will be greatly improved.

The greater the number of apple trees, the stronger the ability of the Apple Tree Man, until the number of apple trees reaches a thousand and reaches its peak.

The apple tree tree man's constitution is +5 (this is an intrinsic attribute), his recovery ability is tripled, and he has a chance to turn an ordinary apple tree into a titan apple tree, producing magical golden apples.

The survival rate, vigor, fruiting rate and growth rate of apple trees in the area where Apple Tree Man takes root will be greatly improved, but will be greatly reduced if they become sick.

"This is simply good news for apple orchards. As long as there is a golden apple tree, an apple orchard will surely prosper and develop, enough to supply the needs of a small and medium-sized town."

"These Golden Apple Tree People are simply the natural messengers to promote the Golden Apple Orchard. With them, why worry about the Golden Apple Orchard not being famous in the material plane?"

"No more, as long as there are hundreds of golden apple trees, I will have a way to spread the name of the golden apple orchard throughout Faerûn. I want all the large and medium-sized cities in Faerûn to be surrounded by it. In the next five years, Within, no, in just three years, there will be a golden apple orchard.”

The three people present were not ordinary people, and they could see the value of the Golden Apple Tree Man at a glance.

It mainly focuses on the two major abilities of spreading branches and leaves and apple symbiosis.

There is no need to talk about spreading branches and leaves. Every golden apple tree is a natural breeding machine for golden apple trees. Wherever you go, you can bring golden apple saplings.

The more powerful the golden apple tree man is, the more golden apple saplings he can breed in a short period of time.

The most powerful one is the Apple Symbiosis.

Even if an apple orchard with a golden apple tree man in charge does not directly reach the highest yield per acre in Faerûn like the magical field blessed by Mother Earth and Lady Strategy, it is still very easy to surpass the average level.

Don't think that the influence of a golden apple tree person is small, and no tree person can have extraordinary strength and extraordinary physique.

In other words, a golden apple tree has at least a radiation coverage area of ​​500 meters in radius, which means a thousand acres of land.

When the number of apple trees in this thousand acres of land exceeds one thousand, the physical attribute increases by five points, and the covered area will directly increase to more than 2,500 acres, and the circular area will grow in a ladder shape.

Even an ordinary apple orchard can easily produce more than one ton per acre.

Not to mention the Golden Apple Orchard where the Golden Apple Tree Man is in charge. Isn’t it easy to double or triple the yield per mu?

Assuming an output of two tons per mu, a fully loaded apple orchard with a golden apple tree and a human presence would have an annual output of more than 5,000 tons, enough to supply the annual consumption of a large city of 100,000 people.

Not to mention there is a chance of a magic golden apple being born.

Around this golden apple tree man, Gavin had formulated several new development strategies in an instant, the kind that perfectly integrated the development of territory and belief.

Gavin then asked another key question: "How many golden apple tree people are there in the golden apple orchard now?"

There was a hint of embarrassment and anger in Stelina's expression as she said: "Those drow elves obviously also realized the value of the golden apple tree people, and sent most of the golden apple tree people to other places.

At present, I can only feel the scent of scattered golden apple tree people on the periphery of the golden apple orchard, and the number cannot exceed thirty.

At its peak, the number of Golden Apple Tree People was no less than a hundred.

Fortunately, they did not really master the original golden apple trees, otherwise not even these thirty trees would be left to us. "

“Keep this account in mind for now, and we’ll settle it with them later.

However, if we want to develop apple cultivation in the material plane, we cannot rely on those who have golden apple trees.

Their thinking has been completely solidified, and it is difficult for them to accept this new idea. We have to rely on our own enlightenment and cultivation of golden apple tree people.

My idea is to use the major adjustments to the Golden Apple Orchard to enlighten and cultivate a new batch of golden apple tree people, just like the transformation of the dragon oak mother tree. "

When Gavin made this suggestion, his eyes were mainly focused on Lord Virginia.

She was the one who personally controlled and experienced it, and she had the most say in this matter. (End of this chapter)
