I am a god in another world

Chapter 781: The Conflict of Ideas

The battle on the other side was also nothing worth mentioning.

When the necromancer was restrained and the six-armed snake demon jumped to his side, the rest was to be cut into several pieces.

After the necromancer and the dragon lich were broken into pieces, he did not capture their souls from them. Gavin was basically sure that everything that happened in front of him was an illusion, a very top-level soul illusion.

This kind of illusion is not a set scene for you to play a rigid role.

Instead, it evolves according to your own abilities, making you immersed in it involuntarily.

He even basically guessed that the purpose of this illusion is to see if the person involved, in the desperate situation that Anka was in at the time, can choose to protect his own people like the cloaked king, even if he knows that the future is extremely difficult and may even be doomed.

As long as there is even a trace of hesitation and entanglement, this trial will fail and end.

Not everyone has the courage to charge at a dragon lich.

Especially those young men from Sambia, in this real illusion, even if they are not scared to death, their education and their own character determine that they will only turn around and run.

And this is only the basic condition for the real illusion to continue. If you want to really pass it, you must have the strength to defeat the necromancer and the dragon lich.

Otherwise, even if you inherit Anka's will, you will follow in his footsteps.

Because dragon liches, like liches, have their own life boxes. When they die during the transformation or their physical forms are destroyed, their souls can ignore the distance and return directly to their life boxes.

Liches can occupy humanoid corpses near the life box and transform back into original liches.

And dragon liches need to occupy medium or larger reptiles or dragon corpses and transform them into their new bodies. The more compatible the corpse is with its original body (such as a real dragon), the easier it is to occupy it, and vice versa (such as a dinosaur corpse). Once the occupation fails, he will never be able to occupy this corpse again, but he can continue to try to occupy other suitable corpses.

The dragon lich in the original dragon lich state has its original will and memory, but it does not have its original life dice and spell immunity. It cannot speak, cast spells, cause cold damage, use breath, or cause fear like the dragon lich.

Its health, speed, and defense are temporarily calculated according to the corpse that has been occupied. The original dragon lich can directly transform into its own complete dragon lich form by devouring the original body (at least 10%). If this cannot be done, it can only transform the newly occupied body by absorbing a large amount of negative energy.

The time required to restore the strength of the complete form has a lot to do with the strength of the occupied corpse. The closer the corpse is to its own complete form, the shorter the recovery time, and vice versa.

This is why liches and dragon liches are keen on collecting corpses of similar size to themselves. Their life boxes are not only hidden in extremely secret places, but also usually with a large number of corpses.

If you want to kill a dragon lich, it is not enough to just kill his physical form. You must find his life box and completely destroy it before it successfully occupies a new body.

This refers to the normal situation.

Gavin, who possesses the immortality of God, should not need such trouble. After all, he can even cut off the marks of demons and devils, making it impossible for them to be resurrected in their hometown, not to mention that the dragon lich belongs directly to the category of immortality, and his profession is very suitable.

When the necromancer and the dragon lich died one after another, everything in front of Gavin disappeared completely like a mirror flower.

He is not in the open-air manor of Anka Manor now, on the contrary, he is now in the hall of the mansion.

This is a standard lord's hall, with two rows of chairs on the left and right, and a lord's chair at the end.

The seats here are full, but the people sitting on them are not people, but ghosts. They are all familiar faces, and many of them can even be called by name, because he has seen them before in the real illusion, and even chatted with them for a few words.

Without exception, they are all cloaked warriors who once followed Anka to fight in the entire valley.

There was also a person sitting on the lord's seat. Even in the spirit state, he still covered his face with a turban and a mask. His tall and strong body was wrapped in a big red cloak. He was the owner of this place, Anka, the king of cloaks.

For a moment, Gavin couldn't be sure whether he was in reality or in another illusion. Anyway, he still didn't see Regina.

All the ghosts looked at Gavin in unison. Anka stood up first and laughed: "Okay, okay, okay, we have not waited in vain for more than three hundred years. Finally, someone who can inherit our legacy and continue to move forward has appeared. The old rules, collective vote, are you satisfied with the performance of this young man in front of you?"

"That kind of indomitable spirit is indeed very much like our style in the past, but illusions are illusions after all. In this case, many things are disguised, and his means are extraordinary. He has the strength to defeat the opponent, so he has no scruples. Therefore, his character needs further verification."

"We should not only look at his temporary performance, but his series of performances, whether it is from daily performance, or his previous resettlement, flood relief, Asaba River management plan, or the benefits in the Misty Valley. The people's plans all prove his character. He is really dedicated to seeking development for the valley and seeking benefits for ordinary valley people. Many of these plans are not only things we have not done, but we have not even thought of them. "

"Being able to organize 50,000 people to migrate thousands of kilometers is not only a manifestation of ability, but also a charm of personality. Without sufficient cohesion, there is no way to accomplish this."

"The fighting power he displayed is impeccable. As we have painstakingly researched and certified over the years, the simplest and most effective way to fight against the Dracolich is to also transform into an immortal state.

But I believe that all of you here are well aware of the disadvantages of being in this state. Once we leave the shelter of Anka Manor, we will slowly lose all emotions and become cold machines that only know how to kill, let alone our own guardians. We are not 100% sure whether his duty will become the disaster we are bent on protecting the people. Can he 100% control this power? Can you resist the erosion and temptation from negative energy? "

"This issue does deserve careful consideration."

"Isn't this the meaning of our existence? We will shoulder the responsibility of supervising him to ensure that he does not go down the wrong path."

"I don't think we should wait any longer. Just this one has made us wait for more than three hundred years. Who knows when the next one will appear? Maybe by that time, the entire valley will have been occupied by those evil and greedy businessmen. They annexed it.”

"I support letting him inherit our legacy, continue on the path we have followed, and completely dismantle the evil city-state alliance of Sambia."

"The longer we wait, the longer our people will be exploited and squeezed by Sambia, and we should not hesitate to look forward or backward."

These ghosts commented on Gavin in front of him. From their words, it was not difficult to tell that although their footsteps were limited to Anka Manor, their information was very well-informed, at least to Gavin. Wen's matter is clear.

Compared with Regina's previous explanation, it is not surprising that this situation occurs.

Since they know everything about the situation at Anka Manor and are communicating with these intelligent undead, it is normal for them to share information.

In other words, the trial of Anka Manor does not start from now on.

Ever since he entered the Battle Valley and started contacting Lord Ilmet and Regina, it had already begun without his knowledge. Now it was just the last step, meeting the parties involved.

The feeling these ghosts give Gavin is very similar to that of Estelle and other earthbound spirits. Although they are spirits, they are not dominated by negative energy. Instead, they control and use negative energy and still maintain their human nature. Seven emotions and six desires.

"Since our opinions cannot be unified, we might as well listen to the opinions of the parties involved." With one sentence, Anka attracted the attention of all the ghosts to Gavin again, "Sir Gavin, give us an offer we cannot refuse. reason."

Gai Wen made an astonishing statement: "I think there is a huge mistake in your trial itself."

Anka did not show anger at being questioned, but asked gently: "What is the mistake? Tell me."

"Before answering, Lord, could you help me clear up a doubt first?" Gavin asked without answering.

"Okay." Anka was more straightforward than the legend said.

"Since the lord has not died? Why not resurrect yourself? No matter who hands you leave your grand ambition to, it is more tempting and more touching than completing it yourself."

If Anka has already lost his soul, it would be understandable to carry out the legacy. The person involved still exists here as a ghost, so it is not difficult to resurrect him.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't." Anka replied calmly, "In order to prevent the necromancer Alekancer and the dragon lich Alaba from causing trouble and rebirth, I burned my soul with a secret method. , sealed them together with me in this manor.

What you see now is just my last remnant soul. When someone inherits my legacy, it will be the moment of my complete demise, and it will also be the moment of the rebirth of those two evil ones. "

"No wonder you set the last level of the trial to kill the necromancer and dracolich. You are worried that after someone inherits your legacy, the reborn necromancer and dracolich will soon come to your door again. Repeat the same mistakes?" Gavin suddenly realized that this trial had such a profound meaning.

"You responded very quickly." Anka said with admiration, "Yes, the unification of the Valley is an extremely difficult road. When you choose to embark on this road, you must face the cultists of the Dragon Worship Sect. enemies, because they are the real manipulators behind the scenes of the Sambia Kingdom.

If you don't even have the strength to fight against a Dracolich, then don't follow in my footsteps.

Moreover, the current situation is even more complicated than three hundred years ago. Not only has the Dragon Worship Cult's grassroots organization grown to three, but there are dozens of various dragon lichs, and even several ancient dragons have joined the dragon cult. In the ranks of lichs.

There is another, darker and more evil dark intelligence network to the north. They are entangled with the evil gods. If they are not careful, they will be involved in the war between gods.

Therefore, our successor must have strong personal strength. "

Based on Anka's words alone, Gavin was basically certain that the other party held a huge intelligence network to help them collect intelligence on Sembia and the Zhentarim, especially the Dragon Cult.

"The Lord's noble sentiments are indeed beyond my reach." Gavin was sincerely convinced. In this world with resurrection spells, the act of blocking the muzzle of a gun with his own body can certainly be called heroic and has an inspiring effect. But quite average.

But if he voluntarily gave up his own soul in order to protect his people, that was definitely not something ordinary people could do. Ask yourself, Gavin couldn't do this.

It's no wonder that Anka still has such a high reputation and popularity in the valley even after his death for more than three centuries.

"Any other questions?"

"there is none left."

"Then it's your turn to answer my previous question."

"Your biggest mistake is to use a static standard to measure a person." Gavin replied, "Human is an extremely fickle creature. There are many factors that can be changed. Of course, his own internal factors are On the one hand, external factors cannot be ignored.

A person who is fair and fearless now may become timid when he is in a high position. The once fair and strict person may become selfish and indulge in pleasure.

A former coward may become brave after a series of tests and risk his own life for others.

The strength I have now is not something I was born with, but the reason why I have worked so hard in the past year. If you had asked me to accept this trial when I first entered the Battle Valley, the result would have been different. It looks like I will be directly beaten to death by that Dracolich.

Therefore, there is great uncertainty in your speculations about my future. You can only judge whether I can meet the standards now, and the rest needs to be verified by time. "

"The static evaluation criteria you mentioned are not accurate. Except for those idiots from Sembia, all the real trialists were carefully selected by us. We have been observing you for half a year. After a long time, I will lead you into the trial when the time is right."

"There is some truth to what Sir Gavin said. We can only judge whether his performance in the past is up to standard and use this as a benchmark to predict the future. There is no way to do it 100%. We cannot aspire for more."

"And there is not much time left for us. The Lord's soul energy is about to be exhausted. Everything that belongs here will disappear. It is better to take a chance when there is a chance. At least we will follow him. , can play a supervisory role.”

"That makes sense."

The ghosts whispered again, and inadvertently revealed an important message again. There is no way to continue the trial in Anka Manor forever. It will continue to consume the opponent's soul power.

When his soul power is exhausted, it will also be the moment when the Necromancer and Dragon Lich are reborn.

This does not mean that his sacrifice was meaningless.

Three centuries ago, the Dragon Worship Cult had just begun to develop. Less than a century ago, a dragon lich transformed from an ancient black dragon was definitely one of the top powers of the Dragon Worship Cult. After sealing it, it greatly dealt a blow to this evil. organization, seriously slowing down their development.

But in the current Dragon Witch Sect, I dare not say that there are a lot of them, but they can only be regarded as part of the top power. They are more than they are, and they are less than them.

This is also the essence of the sealing technique. Use time to dilute everything, or buy buffer time for those righteous forces, so that you can grow to have the power to face evil that is originally impossible to defeat.

Some were successful, such as Elvis, the son of the immortal Nemesis whom Gavin and the others had previously eliminated, and the Dracolich sealed in Anka Manor.

But some will evolve into greater disasters, especially when there is a fault in inheritance. After all, time will wear away not only the evil forces, but the righteous forces must also withstand its test.

After hearing this, Gavin was basically convinced that he was going to inherit this inheritance, and he spoke again, "Whether I inherit your legacy or not, my plan in the valley will not change in any way, and I will remain steadfast. Go on.

Because you only represent the past of the valley, and I represent the present of the valley, and use my hands to create the future of the valley.

Perhaps we will be very different in our approach.

But our ultimate goal is the same, which is to create a harmonious, strong, prosperous, and unified valley, so that the residents here can have a livelihood and support in their old age, and will no longer be squeezed and exploited by foreign enemies. "

"Well said, this is the valley we dream of."

"I find I kind of like this little guy."

"Haha... I see in him the shadow of our youth. Young people should be a little ambitious."

“It seems like we’re being looked down upon, and people kind of look down on our legacy.”

"It's normal. After all, we are all old guys who are more than three hundred years old. Who knows how much influence will remain? It's just to make him more righteous."

"Our valley has never been known for its numbers. It seems that at our peak, the number of troops we had was only tens of thousands. He brought 50,000 people from Tethyr. Along the way, they had to be protected by a powerful army. Our assets are really not enough."

Gavin's attitude made the ghosts present suddenly realize that they seemed to have misjudged the other party's demands on them.
