I am a god in another world
Chapter 1060 Sir, times have changed
"I'm not mistaken. It's not an ordinary person who can restart the City of Mountains. I didn't expect you to grow so fast."
The Undead Stone Giant Chieftain remained calm, as if nothing had happened just now. "I can fully support your plan in the Giant Plains, but I want all the souls produced in this process."
This condition is a commonplace.
The last time, the core condition proposed by the Undead Stone Giant Chieftain was this.
This time Gavin did not respond directly, but showed a ball of soul energy essence and said: "The Chieftain just wants this, and I have it in hand. It's all the purest\\without a trace of impurities. In terms of quality, it is far from comparable to the monster souls that are forcibly absorbed by magic."
Since he already knew that the other party was likely to be brewing a grand plan in the Giant Plains, Gavin naturally couldn't let him get his wish easily. At least he would not be led by him by the nose again, but would control the direction and rhythm of the entire negotiation.
"Soul essence?" The soul fire of the Undead Stone Giant Chieftain fluctuated uncontrollably again.
The undead are not without any emotional fluctuations, especially the intelligent undead. It's just that ordinary people find it very difficult to feel them, because their fluctuations are directly reflected in the soul fire.
But Gavin couldn't hide it.
Without saying a word, Gavin threw a ball of soul essence over and explained: "This is the soul energy extracted from the Bone Plains and purified. It has extremely strong plasticity. Compared with using those monster souls to do some unknown experiments, it is better to use this soul essence that is completely under your control."
After suffering a loss, the undead stone giant chief, Longshou, obviously became much more vigilant. Although he took over the soul essence, he was cautious and wrapped it with his own energy. If there was anything wrong, he would immediately destroy and discard it.
After careful observation for a while, it was found that Gavin did not do anything. It was just a ball of the purest soul energy without any impurities and had very strong plasticity.
It is not just as simple as shaping the undead. With the territory-level magic circle that he has been operating in the Giant Plains for thousands of years, it will greatly increase the pregnancy rate of the giants, so as to achieve the purpose of rapidly stimulating the growth of the giant population.
The gigantic nature of the Giant Plains is just a side experiment.
"I have no objection to the Great Chieftain's desire to rebuild the Kingdom of Neidheim and recreate the glory of the Giant Age.
As long as you don't do anything destructive in the Giant Plains, I will even strongly support you.
After all, I even support the Kobolds and the Hobgoblins in building cities, not to mention you giants.
Great Chieftain, times have changed, and now is no longer the era of giants alone.
It is impossible to build a pure giant kingdom, unless you are willing to lead your people away from Faerun and go to a world without other intelligent life.
Otherwise, you must learn to accept other lives and learn to share this world with them.
This world is big enough to accommodate all kinds of intelligent life to build their own homes here."
Since the Undead Stone Giant Chieftain refused the temptation to go to the Abyss.
Then Gavin can only settle for the second best and start from his other core interest.
As long as he has demands and interests, it will be easy to deal with. The most feared thing is that he has no desires.
"Hundreds of years ago, I seemed to have understood this truth." The chieftain of the undead stone giant said in a low voice, "We were not destroyed by the enemy, but by ourselves, by our own arrogance and conceit.
When we refuse to accept the fact that other intelligent races have risen and try to hinder the development of this world, we are destined to become a stumbling block of the entire era and an enemy of the entire world.
I no longer expect to bring the entire world back under the rule of the giants, which is something that even the giant gods cannot do.
I only hope to build a shelter for the people of Nederheim who have been exiled to all parts of the world, provide them with housing, food and security, and no longer let them be displaced.
This is my responsibility as the last king of Nederheim."
The powerful strength shown by Gavin won his respect and made him reveal his true feelings.
"In fact, this matter is not as complicated as the Great Chief thinks, as long as the Great Chief is willing to abide by the principles of equality, mutual benefit and peaceful coexistence.
I am willing to send people to assist you, so that your living people can return to the ground, rebuild a giant city in the Giant Running Mountains, raise the giant flag, and attract giants from all over the world to come and join.
As long as you have enough time to recuperate, I believe that it won't be long before you can still stand on the top of the world and become an important part of many intelligent races."
Compared to the covenant, Gavin believes more in the binding of interests.
As long as these stone giants build a city in the Giant Plains and begin to reproduce.
It is equivalent to putting a layer of shackles on the Council of Death Chiefs. They must consider carefully before making a decision to exterminate humanity.
As long as these undead stone giants do not turn the Giant Plains into an immortal land, there is room for maneuver.
Even if the magic circle under the Giant Plains is really of great benefit to the giants, allowing them to have stronger power and faster reproduction ability, they want to grow and develop, without a few hundred years, that is not possible.
Because of the long life cycle, humans are pregnant for ten months, while they are pregnant for ten years. The maturity period is also ten times longer than that of humans, reaching more than 150 years.
This situation is not unique to giants. Many immortal species have this characteristic, but it is just longer or shorter.
Compared with giants or elves, humans are short-lived species, but compared with cats and dogs, they are absolutely immortal species.
Compared with insects and flies, cats and dogs have a long lifespan, so they naturally have a longer life cycle.
Each situation has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The longer the life cycle, the greater the upper limit of development, and you can gain powerful strength during the growth process, which is represented by giants and dragons.
As long as giants reach adulthood, they at least have extraordinary power. Giants like cloud giants or storm giants, who are at the top of the order, have at least quasi-legendary strength. As long as they are a little more diligent, it is very easy to enter the legend after adulthood.
The disadvantage is low reproduction. The time they are pregnant is enough for humans to raise a generation.
However, the short life cycle makes the natural growth upper limit of humans very low, less than a few tens of giants. Whether it is extraordinary or legendary species, it is based on human standards.
In the wild, dragons and giants, which have acquired powerful abilities through a long breeding cycle, naturally have the advantage, are directly at the top of the species, and occupy a dominant position.
However, when the intelligent civilization led by humans rises, through acquired training or magic, some of them have comparable power to giants or dragons, that is the moment when these immortal species step down from the altar.
Because the number and acquired training will make up for the innate deficiencies and allow them to burst out with terrifying power.
This situation is not limited to giants. If one day, those rats or cockroaches also have wisdom and training abilities comparable to humans, they are likely to challenge the current dominance of humans.
This is not alarmist, but a real thing.
In the multiverse, there are only a few material planes dominated by humans, and most of them are ruled by various strange and bizarre intelligent creatures or monsters.
When traveling in the plane, don't feel strange if you find that you have arrived in a country completely ruled by ratmen.
After listening to Gavin's advice, the undead stone giant chief fell into a long silence.
Because this proposal is really very tempting.
Time has proved that the current development model of the Council of Death Chiefs is too slow.
In a thousand years, their population has increased by less than one-fold, including the living and the undead, less than a thousand people at most.
It is simply a fantasy to want to restore the glory of the giants with only these giants.
If you want to grow quickly, you need a base number, and you need enough foreign giants to join their ranks. It is not enough to just stay in the dark area. You must go to the ground and raise the giant flag to attract other giants.
This silence did not last long. The chief of the undead stone giant spoke again: "All war souls belong to me, and this will not change, but I can allow you to exchange your soldiers' souls with an equal amount of soul essence.
After the victory of the war, the territory of the beast demon tribe will belong to me."
"Okay." Gavin agreed readily.
What he was afraid of was not that the other party would ask for territory, but that he would shrink in the dark area and not go out.
As long as he was willing to go out and get to the ground, he would have various means to bring it under his rule.
Because from the beginning he did not intend to build an empire in the secular sense, but a huge multi-ethnic community of destiny. When their economic destinies are closely linked together, they have no choice but to use their strength and energy in a different direction.
Once a consensus is reached on core interests, the rest of the things will be much simpler.
Gavin suggested: "Although the Great Chief is unwilling to come to the Abyss, we can exchange experiences on the undead power.
I will throw out some ideas and talk about my understanding of this power in recent times.
Compared with other divine powers, this divine power should be the easiest to develop and grow, and it only needs to master a large number of undead spirits.
But the limitations of this power are also very large.
My method is only used in the Abyss. If it is in the material plane, such a large-scale use of undead power.
Even if the current controller of the dead priesthood is incompetent, there will be a reaction.
The undead priesthood is only a part of the dead priesthood, and no death god will allow this power to grow.
When the Great Chief harvests souls, he must master the degree and method, and don't lose the big picture because of the small."
Gavin is not purely using God to suppress others, but stating a fact.
The Abyss certainly has many disadvantages, but it also has its own advantages.
That is, this place is not under the jurisdiction of the gods. As long as you have the ability to defeat those demons, you can harvest and control the souls there at will.
The winner takes everything.
This is the supreme law of the Abyss.
If Gavin dares to do the same thing in the material plane, countless believers of the good gods will hold high the banner of justice to attack him, and even ask the gods to incarnate to end it. It is not a rare thing.
After the initial barbaric development, Gavin is now beginning to be conservative in the development strategy of Vizeme Manor.
It is no longer about quantity, but quality.
Those ordinary souls were given to Ms. Strategy.
Anyway, he is not planning to absorb the Immortal Priesthood. Strength is not very important, as long as it is enough.
Especially with the undead killing territory of the bottomless abyss, some things can be shifted to this aspect.
"Thank you for the reminder, General. I have been involved in the realm of immortality for more than a day or two. I know where the bottom line of the gods lies."
The undead stone giant chief returned to his original coldness and ruthlessness, "They don't care about the life and death of all living beings, what they care about is whether anyone respects them because of it.
Immortality is the best demonstration of their divine power.
Appropriate immortal disaster, whether it is to the god of death or the god of kindness, is a good thing.
The former is rewarded with awe, the latter with praise. "
Although there were no emotional ups and downs, his words were filled with contempt for the superior gods.
It's obviously a fallacy, but I have to admit that there is some truth in it.
Without darkness, how can we contrast light?
Without suffering, how can we yearn for beauty?
Anything that is mixed with interests will no longer be pure, including faith.
Gavin naturally would not get entangled with the other party on this matter, and took the initiative to say goodbye: "If there are no other matters, I will leave.
I entrust Lady Catherine with full authority to direct the war on the Giant Plains on my behalf, and relevant matters can be negotiated with her. "
"Wait, there is one more thing." Catherine interjected, "The master Domingo who came back with me has reached the pinnacle of his sculpture art and has touched the charm of law.
The huge stone statues he carved were the best carriers of divine power.
I hope the Warchief will lend it to us for a while. "
The statue of Gavin carved by Domingo left a deep impression on her, especially the one she destroyed.
Just because she destroyed the statue with the connotation of corruption, it doesn't mean that she can't carve a new one in the future - until Gavin escapes from the bottomless abyss and Ms. Strategy has digested all the souls of killing.
The Immortal Stone Giant Chief responded coldly and ruthlessly: "Domingo has committed dereliction of duty and should return to the Council to receive his punishment. Giving him one year before was already an act of extrajudicial mercy..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Gavin said from the side: "We won't use Master Domingo in vain.
From every statue carved by him, you giants of Nedheim are free to protect you.
If the great chief is really determined to build a city on the ground, we will do our best to assist in laying roads and can provide the best price. "
If the first one is the price, the second one is the sales promotion.
Everything has a price, and the undead are no exception.
After hearing the conditions offered by Gavin, the Undead Stone Giant Chief changed the subject and said, "Then let him take the blame and perform meritorious service!"
It is estimated that he did not really want to transform Domingo into an immortal state just now, but took the opportunity to play with it.
Since their grand strategy is going to change, their original way of ruling will also have to change.
For the Death Chiefs Council, the next most important thing is no longer to transform the undead stone giants, but to vigorously develop the giant population.
As long as we have a sufficient population, will we still have to worry about undead giants in the future?
After finalizing the matter, the negotiation was finally coming to an end.
The Undead Stone Giant Chief has regained his silence. He only needs to determine the general direction, and the Death Chiefs Council will naturally implement his will and put everything into practice.
Gavin's mind retracted into the bottomless abyss, and Catherine returned the same way, while the stone giant Domingo was already waiting for her at the teleportation circle.
Compared to the gloom and despair when he first appeared, he is now beaming with joy and feeling refreshed.
After teleporting back to the City of Colossus with Catherine, he couldn't wait to ask: "What on earth did you tell the chief? Not only did you take back the death mark on my body, but you even allowed me to return to the City of Colossus with you, without making any arrangements for me. Any task, this is simply unimaginable!”
"Just because the Council of Death Chiefs doesn't have a mission, it doesn't mean that we don't have a mission here." Catherine replied with a smile. “From today on, you are the sculptor and architect of the royal statue of the Lady of Strategy and the Conqueror.
Next, you not only have a heavy carving task, but also an architectural design task. You have to design at least two church buildings, one for the Strategist Lady and one for the Conqueror.
It is necessary to perfectly integrate the clergy they represent into the building to form its own characteristics. "
Domingo smiled happily and said: "This is not a task for you, it is simply a gift. Ms. Strategy dare not say that there is absolutely no problem with the conqueror. The roadside fort is the most suitable church for him, which can gather residence, trade, development and belief. All in one.
It can be built along with the development of roads. Wherever the roads go, roadside forts can follow. "
His ability to carve Gavin's charm is not an accident, but the result of a deep understanding of him.
In turn, during the process of carving, he resonated with the laws related to it, and had an impact on Gavin's related priesthood that was far beyond ordinary people's understanding.
"It seems that entrusting you with this task is the right choice." Catherine nodded with satisfaction. "The nature of Ms. Strategist should be similar, but she is more of a city and a fortress."
Finally, she added emphatically: "For a short period of time, the statues of gods will not be carved. I will let you know when they can be carved."
You should focus on designing various buildings. Be bold. If you are asked to preside over the construction of a city with a population of 100,000, 1 million, or even 10 million, what should you do? "
"Millions? Tens of millions?" The stone giant sculptor touched his smooth blue-gray head involuntarily, and kept sucking in cold air, "I can't imagine it! I can't imagine it! I can't imagine it!"
Giants have always had a sparse population. Let alone millions or tens of millions, even 100,000 is unimaginable. (End of this chapter)
