It was the first time the undead stone giant had spoken since entering the council chamber, his voice hoarse and hollow, without any intonation in it, no anger or joy, only endless coldness.

All the while, he didn't look at Giharin, but at Gavin.

In his eyes, the pressure and threat brought to him by the silent young man was far above that of Jiharim, who was a legendary warrior.

The other party was obviously a living person, but he felt the immortal aura that sank like the sea.

The last time I felt this way was when I was personally received by the Great Chief of the Undead Golem.

Thanks to his heart, it had stopped beating two thousand years ago, otherwise it would have to jump out of his chest.

Because their great chief has already stepped out of the mundane with one foot, and has extraordinary man-made attainments in the realm of immortality.

The young man in front of him also exuded a similar aura, indicating that he was also entering the realm of immortality.

This makes sense, why the dwarven tombs have fallen so silently, and the undead guards of the heavy armored giants they are proud of are afraid that it will be difficult to play a role in front of him.

"I'd like to hear first, how your Council of Death Chiefs resolved this matter." Gavin responded.

These immortals have no feelings at all, family affection will no longer bind them, and the ancient hatred between them and the dwarves can no longer sway them, they only have interests in their eyes, only their own persistent pursuit.

"War." Upendra's voice was still cold and flat, "The never-ending war will engulf either of you and me completely. ”

The other party's answer did not surprise Gavin, but asked, "So, you are ready for war?" ”

"We're always ready."

"If you're ready, why do you want to send the two of you? I've never heard of you giants declaring war before war, well, I see. ”

The war marauder jumped into Gavin's hands out of thin air and slammed it on the ground, and the black mist centered on it, filled the entire council chamber in an instant, enveloping him and the undead stone giant opposite.

Gavin spoke again: "Big Chief of the Void, since everyone has already come, why bother to use a puppet to watch and speak, it is better to face to face." ”

The council chamber is still the same chamber, except that everything here is black.

And Shanopa, Giharim, Yuriu, and the Golem messenger Asim have all vanished, leaving only Gavin and the undead Golem.

The cold glimmer in the undead stone giant's eyes shrank to the extreme, but then suddenly expanded.

The appearance has not changed in the slightest, but the aura emanating from his body is already completely different from just now, the terrifying immortal power, centered on it, surging wildly, and fighting against Gavin's ghostly power.

The soul in this undead stone giant's body is no longer Upendra, but the founder of the Death Chieftain Council, the undead stone giant Great Chief Duokong, a powerful existence that is thousands of years old.

He also controls the power of the immortal god, and the amount is even higher than that of Gavin, because the power he transmits through a puppet is enough to fight against him.

Gavin wasn't surprised.

In Faerun, if you want to ascend to the existence of a god, it is really like a cow's hair, and there are many people who secretly steal divine power, and they can't count the same, and before in the Thun swamp, the obese lizard queen is not also satisfied with her queen status, and wants to use the black-scaled lizard person as a medium to become a god.

Especially when the gods are in turmoil, the laws of faith have changed, and the gods are busy adjusting their own priesthood beliefs and paying less attention to the material plane, which gives countless powerful beings opportunities to take advantage of.

Gavin is one of them.

The law does not blame the public, and there are too many thieves, even if those gods want to take care of it, they can't control it.

You can only aim your guns at those who are powerful and take the lead, and you can't let them threaten your position.

With the large-scale rise of the intelligent race led by humans, the giants have declined in the Faren Continent, and the giant god system has also begun to disappear, and it is not even known to most intelligent beings.

The undead Golem is long and empty, it should start from the undead Golem, and it is also an undead priesthood that he is involved in, but the prefix of his priesthood is Golem, and the giant that extends from above.

"I underestimated you, I didn't expect a child under the age of twenty to have stolen God's authority." The undead stone giant spoke again, the same cold tone, but his voice became extremely rich, word by word, very rhythmic and rhythmic, which made people can't help but think of the majestic mountains.

"Is it age-related? When the Prince of Lies and the Lady of Magic were canonized last year, they were only in their early twenties, and countless people have not been able to find their way to get started in their lifetimes. Gavin said eloquently, "Sometimes, life circumstances can withstand countless years of hard work, and choosing the right path is extremely important, especially the path of the gods. ”

Long Kong nodded approvingly: "That's right, the right path is indeed very important, once you get on the fork in the road, you will waste countless time and energy."

Before last year, I had always thought that if I wanted to become a god, I would study the laws of death in this world, which would allow me to gain more powerful immortal power.

But I never thought that the growing immortal power in my body was not obtained by studying the law of death, but from the undead people who transformed around me.

If I had known that the more souls I intercepted around me, the stronger the power I had, I would have raised my Immortal God Kingdom a long time ago. ”

In the calm tone, there is no half of the ups and downs.

Gavin heard a deep sense of regret in it.

It is clear that the other party has wasted thousands of years by sacrificing the basics.

Gavin really couldn't imagine how much strength a group of undead beings would accumulate after stealing thousands of years of souls.

Either as he said, he had already raised his kingdom of gods and stepped into the ranks of the gods.

Either that or it will be destroyed by the corresponding gods.

But many things, without ifs, are missed, are missed.

Gavin enthusiastically helped to analyze the long and empty: "From the beginning, you chose to take a narrow path, you giants themselves are immortal, not to mention the low fertility rate, and the need for immortality is not very urgent, especially you stone giants.

A natural artist, full of sensibility and love for life and art.

But once transformed into an immortal state, these will be discarded.

You Golems controlled by the Council of Chiefs of Death have no choice, but those who have chosen Golem are afraid that many would rather die than choose this path.

And short-lived species like humans are different, short life, like a white horse passing through a gap, fleeting, just a little understanding, about to come to the end of life, immortality is full of great temptation for many people.

There is no need to be guided, and many people will actively follow this path.

One is compulsive, the other is active, and the judgment is made.

The power of your Death Chieftain's Council is mainly in the dark regions, and there are fewer inhabitants, only afraid of the entire continent, and there are few who know about your existence.

I don't think most of the intelligent creatures on the Plains of the Giants are aware of your existence.

Without faith, even if you gather more divine power, it is just a powerful ordinary person, not a god. ”

It's rare to meet an existence like himself, and Gavin's desire to communicate is very strong, after all, many of these things belong to his own understanding, whether it's right or not, it's still unknown.

In this regard, the experience provided to him by the Stratagem was very limited, because she belonged to the second generation of gods, and there were people on it, who were directly plucked up, and not created by herself like Gavin.

As for whether this will increase the enemy's strength, Gavin is not worried.

The immortal priesthood is not his main direction of attack, there are still many gods who are worried about this priesthood, and they are all the top existences, such as the goddess of the night, Shar, and the spider god queen Rose, as well as the immortal king Ocas, not to mention the current leader of the main death priesthood, Shirek.

Compared to the above four, the undead stone giant chief is really nothing.

Moreover, theory and practice are completely different things.

For example, keeping your mouth shut and opening your legs is the best medicine for weight loss, this truth is understood by all fat people, but how many are really successful?

"You don't have to say the same thing." Gavin added, "You don't need to ask for my consent to transform into an immortal state, as long as there are enough wars, it's not difficult to get souls, isn't that what you do?" ”

"That's true." Gavin did not deny that "being forced to participate in war and deliberately provoking are two different concepts, and if you make too many enemies, you will be destroyed by your worldly opponents before the gods can find them." ”

"We now have a reason to go to war, on the Giant's Plains."

Gavin heard the sound and said in surprise, "You want to harvest the souls of the monster race of the Giant Plains?" ”

"After the war, the land belongs to you, the soul belongs to me, and we are clear." The words are extremely calm, but they determine the life and death of countless people.

After listening to the other party's suggestion, Gavin fell silent, because the other party's conditions were completely unexpected.

If you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

The Council of Death Chiefs led by the Chiefs of Death led by the Takon are not attached to their territory, as evidenced by the dark areas they have been dormant in the Giant's Running Mountains.

Everything they do is to serve the long and empty to gain more powerful power, and in the eyes of this immortal stone giant great chief, the soul is the most important, and even more important than this is a large number of souls.

The Giant Plains, with its many gigantic intelligent lifeforms, is the best choice.

He wanted to borrow Gavin's knife and harvest it all at once.

And for Gavin, this is also a chance, a chance to conquer the Giant's Plains once and for all.

If the enemy's behind-the-scenes messengers are all on the same front as him, he will win this battle and not lose it, and the price he pays is only the soul of the enemy.

In this world, I am afraid that there is no more profitable business than this.

After thinking it through thoroughly, Gavin nodded and said: "This deal can be done, but there is a premise, the war time, I have the final say, my soldiers and goblin souls belong to me, and the rest belongs to you." ”

"It's too complicated, I'll only give you a year." Long and short gave his own conditions, "After a year, whether you are ready or not, my army will fight, if you can't even resist those monsters, it means that you are not qualified to make a deal with me, all agreements will be automatically invalidated, and you can only continue to the next step of the transaction if you win the war." ”

"One year is one year." Gavin knew he was at odds.

The Great Chief of the Undead Golem really wanted to harvest souls with his own hands, but he didn't play with him.

It's a fake war.

If you're not careful, you'll even be able to harvest your own power here.

This year is not the time that the other party kindly reserved for himself, but for himself.

It is convenient for them to gather their own hostile forces on the Giant Plains, and let them form an army to attack them.

To put it bluntly, this is still a declaration of war.

To strike iron, you have to be hard.

The Immortal Golem Chief didn't wait for Gavin's answer at all, and his power and consciousness withdrew like a tidal wave.

Gavin also voluntarily withdrew the shadow power, and the two returned to reality.

The undead stone giant Upendra was the first to speak: "Since you have chosen war, then we will give you war, Asim, let's go."

Previously, his soul consciousness was suppressed, and he didn't know what Gavin had talked to Tokong, except that before the Great Chief left, he asked him to read out the declaration of war.

"Wait, Chieftain, and Domingo, the steward of the dwarven grave." Asim hurriedly reminded Upendra that they had another mission, and that one of his own people was still being held in the hands of the other.

The Undead Golem suddenly stopped, turned to Gavin again, and said, "Please release our people, otherwise, we will go to war immediately." ”

"Lord Shanoba, go and bring Master Domingo and let him go home with his people." Gavin said without hesitation.

The Golem administrator who was under house arrest in Colossus City was of no value to him.

He had very limited knowledge of himself and Colossus City, and he had no worries about leaking secrets.

"Yes." Shanopa flew out in response.

Within a few minutes, Shanoba flew back alone.

"What about people?"

"He didn't come out of the room, saying that he would kill him, and he wouldn't go back." Shanopa had a surprise and smile on her face that she couldn't hide, "It's the first time I've seen it, and being a prisoner is addicted. ”

"He is only afraid that he will not be addicted to being a prisoner, but that he will be punished and directly transformed into an immortal state when he goes back." Gavin explained to the undead stone giant, "Two envoys, you have also seen that it is not that I will not let go, but that your people do not want to leave, so to prevent misunderstanding, please ask the two envoys to personally go over and take their own people away." ”

"I don't know how to make progress." Asim couldn't help but curse angrily.

"Lead the way." The Undead Golem was still unhappy or angry.

"Follow me." Led by Shanopa, the crowd soon appeared in front of a huge cavern.

It's a tall, large, abandoned mine that's filled with statues of all sorts of shapes, all of Domingo's previous work in the Colossus Dungeon.

In addition, there are two statues on the wall of the cave, which are obviously newly carved in the past, one of which is the image of Gavin, which is a huge size, up to 18 meters, showing a state of overlooking and vivid.

The other is Shanopa's, not in human form, but in the form of a flying dragon, lying on Gavin's side, silently interpreting the relationship between the two parties.

When Gavin and the others came in, Domingo was tinkling to carve the third statue, and said loudly without looking back: "If I say that I don't go back, I won't go back, and if I die, I won't go back, and if I lose the dwarf grave, it's not a dereliction of duty, but a dereliction of duty, and it will definitely be transformed into an immortal state, so it's better to die......"

"Domingo !!" Asim roared in anger.

Hearing the familiar voice, Domingo involuntarily shrunk his neck, as if he had been immobilized, and after a while, he slowly turned his head and said with a smile: "Lord Asim, you are here, and Lord Upendra, you are also there." ”

His smile was uglier than crying.

"You have neglected your duties and tried to evade punishment, and your crime will be added to the first degree." Asim gritted his teeth and said, "Go, follow me back to the council." ”

"Don't." Domingo involuntarily took a step back, "I'm not going back, Lord Gavin, I'm your prisoner, and you let them take me away so easily?" You promised to take me to Waterdeep to participate in the carving art exhibition! ”

Knowing that there was no way to stand up to a Golem and an undead Golem on his own, Domingo could only turn his gaze to Gavin and try to get help from him.

This kind of prisoner asking for help from himself was also encountered for the first time, and he said with a little crying and laughing: "Just now, the big chief of the sky has come in person, and I have reached an agreement with him, so I can't continue to detain his clan here, I'm sorry, you can't go back now, it's a private matter within your clan, and it's inconvenient for me to interfere." ”

"Long and short Great Chief? How can it be? The Great Chieftain has been out of business for centuries! ”

Not only did Domingo scream, but even Asim looked shocked, the undead Golem Grand Chief had descended, purely forced out by Gavin with his immortal powers, and was not in their plan for this trip.

"Just because you haven't seen the Great Chief doesn't mean he doesn't pay attention to you." Gavin said vaguely, "That's the case, I don't believe you ask Lord Upendra." ”

The eyes of the two stone giants involuntarily fell on the undead stone giant, and after listening to Gavin's explanation, they had already believed eighty percent.

Because the strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all, it is normal to come by means beyond their imagination.

The undead stone giant's cold gaze flickered rapidly, as if communicating with someone, and then with a raise of his hand, a black light shot out, directly into Domingo's chest.

As if he had been punched, Domingo couldn't help but take a step back, and a black fist mark visible to the naked eye appeared on his chest, exuding an aura of cold death.
