Apendra then spoke: "The Great Chief of the Long and Empty has an order, you stay here as an envoy for a period of one year, and return to life at the end of the period, otherwise life is better than death." ”

Domingo touched the cold fist print, there was a fear in his eyes, only he could really feel the threat of this thing, the cold inside seemed to freeze his soul, and bowed down and said, "Domingo takes the order." ”

"Let's go." Upendra turned and walked away, cleanly.

Without the restraint of emotion, these undead Golems are like intelligent machines, precise and efficient.

Seeing the black fist mark on Domingo's body, Golem Asim no longer had any doubts, and followed behind Apendra respectfully, he recognized the origin of this fist mark, it is called the Death Mark, in the entire Death Chieftain Council, only the Immortal Golem Great Chief Duokong can use it, and the person who bears this mark is equivalent to a countdown to life.

If he is not lifted within the time of the long and short orders, the marker of the Death Mark will be eroded and become an undead puppet, even more miserable than the undead Golem, at least the latter can still maintain his sanity, but with a lack of emotion.

It wasn't until he sent the two emissaries from the Council of Chiefs of Death away that Gavin found Domingo again.

The Golem artist still sat dejected, as if mourning his tragic fate a year later.

Gavin comforted: "The Great Chief of the Long and Empty left this mark, I think it is not purely for you, but as a long-distance contact tool, as long as you perform well in the coming year, I will help you intercede and leave you more free time." ”

This is not a simple consolation, it is infused with immortal divinity, given that Domingo is a living person, although the undead stone giant Grand Chief can't transmit his soul and part of his power like the undead stone giant, but it is still no problem to transmit the sound from a long distance.

Although he is also a stealer of immortal divine power, Duokong still has an advantage that Gavin does not have, he has transformed himself into an immortal state, directly storing immortal divinity and immortal divine power in his body, and completely excavating their power I dare not say, at least, the use of immortal divinity is only in a thought.

Gavin, on the other hand, has limitations.

At the very least, you can't use the Undead Divinity as an attack, and you can't pull it away from Domingo's body.

is also an immortal divinity, with a strong personal mark on it, and it is not transformed if you want to.

Unless you use Destroy Evil, just doing so will destroy Domingo as well.

"Really?" Domingo looked down at Gavin pitifully like a man in the water who had grasped the last straw.

"Really." Gavin said confidently, "As long as our plan is successful, in a year, the Great Chief of the Long and Empty will not have more than one soul for you, and a lot less than one soul for you, and in the next year, you only need to stay in the Colossus City with peace of mind and engage in your carving, the only thing to note is that once the Great Chief of the Long and Empty passes the news to you through the mark on your body, you will inform the City Lord of Shanoba as soon as possible and let her inform me." ”

The previous proposal of the long-empty big chief is probably also a temporary intention after sensing the various divine powers in his body, and he has only reached a general intention of cooperation.

Some details will be added as the two sides continue to advance, leaving a microphone is a must, and Domingo just coincided with the meeting.

Thinking of the other party's bad deeds, Gavin warned again, "This time, don't neglect your duties again, if you delay my big affair with the big chief of the long and empty because you didn't deliver the news in time, don't say it's me, even if the gods come in person, they won't be able to save you." ”

"This mark of death is not engraved on the body, but in the soul, it really reacts, even if I am asleep, I have to wake up, there is no possibility of missing it at all." Domingo swore confidently, "I promise there won't be a second's delay." ”

"That's good, in addition to this task, the rest of the time, you can arrange it yourself, if you can, I hope that next, you can specialize in my statue production, all of them must be super giant size, for every three you complete, I will buy or build a large stone carving art exhibition hall for you in a city, if ten are completed in a year, I will hold a special stone sculpture auction for you in Deep Water City."

The increasingly diverse role of the Idol of the Road forced Gavin to try more.

He felt like he had overlooked something important.

The dragon oak statue planted by the dragon oak mother tree certainly has the advantages of being naturally connected with itself and easy to make.

However, it also has the disadvantage that it does not fully match the power of the road, and in this regard, the earth and stone statues are obviously more advantageous.

Since there is a master carver in his hand, he naturally has to make full use of him.

"Really?" Domingo's eyes lit up with excitement.

No artist wants to be alone, and it is something that more people can see and recognize, at least Domingo.

"Do I have to lie to you? I promise to build you a large stone sculpture art exhibition hall in my city of faith, and the day your three statues are completed will also be the day your stone carvings begin to settle in. Gavin patted his chest and reassured.

This kind of thing naturally starts with a city that can mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources, killing three birds with one stone.

It can not only meet Domingo's requirements, but also serve as a public welfare building to cultivate the sentiment of citizens, and can also be dedicated to the relevant gods to see if they can get some benefits from it.

"Lord Gavin is a man of credibility, and I believe in your promise." Domingo's passion was completely aroused, "In order to ensure the progress of the carving, I need the help of the lord to do two things. ”

"What two things? Just say. ”

"First of all, I need a magic device that can keep me in the air for a long time, and it would be better if I could find another magic device that can make me bigger and smaller for a long time." Domingo didn't know what politeness was, and this first condition involved three top-level magic items.

Magical items that make ordinary people become huge, that is, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand gold coins.

But to make a giant, especially a super-large giant become a giant or shrink magic items, it is very expensive, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of possibilities, and it may not be possible to find, after all, this belongs to the giant equipment, and there are relatively few manufacturing personnel, and it is far better to buy it from the market than to find a mage who can make it.

This is also the case with floating flying tools, which are not cheap in themselves, usually starting with 100,000 gold coins, and if you add the giant prefix, the price will increase three or four times in a row.

And this is not because Domingo is deliberately making things difficult, but indeed for the sake of carving.

Even for a stone giant, it is very inconvenient to carve a supergiant statue that is 389 meters high.

"Leave this matter to me, I will find a way to solve it, even if I can't find the corresponding magic equipment, I will ask Jiharin to create a tool that is convenient for you to ascend." Gavin's thinking is obviously broader.

Magic tools are certainly a way of thinking, but some things can be solved with non-magic tools, but they are just a little more cumbersome.

It would be foolish to pursue technology and ignore the convenience of magic.

It is equally foolish to rely blindly on magic and turn a blind eye to mundane means that are close at hand.

Even the goddess of magic does not have infinite admiration for magic, and her advice is to try to solve things by mundane means first, and then use magical power after trying to fail.

There is even a group of believers in the goddess of magic, instead of promoting and advocating magic, but going the opposite way, vigorously promoting the field of anti-magic, advocating that people prohibit the use of any magic and live in the most primitive way, they believe that the magic in this world is limited, and plays a vital stabilizing role with the operation of the entire planet and even the entire multiverse.

If magic is abused, it will inevitably lead to a weakening of stability, and the extraction of magic from other places will lead to various disasters.

Empires that have reached a level of extreme use of magic and withered are the best warning of this, such as the Netherrean Empire.

This sect has grown at a terrifying rate since last year, and they see the turmoil of the gods as a sign.

But the goddess of magic acquiesced to their existence, which is the biggest problem.

"Then please, sir." Domingo made his second request, "The second thing is that it is unrealistic for adults to send in those spellcasters who are good at stone shaping and turning mud into stone to assist me in reinforcing and repairing the stones, and to excavate and shape such a huge rock.

Like these two statues, carving directly in the mountain, turning the clay into stones, this kind of work has no technical content, and any caster, including those kobolds, if there is an external force, the carving speed will be greatly increased, otherwise I would not be able to make three super giant statues in a year. ”

"This matter is even simpler, I asked Shanoba to send those dragonized kobold warlocks with similar abilities to assist you, the number may be a little less at first, after all, mining is very dependent on this ability, but believe me, they will only get more and more, if the construction period is relatively tight, I will appropriately mobilize more people for you." Gavin's answer is still discounted.

This is something that can't be helped, the stone shaping technique is good to say, it belongs to the three-ring spell, with its own development, this level of kobold warlock, is pouring out like a blowout, but turning mud into stone, it belongs to the five-ring spell, a spell that can only be learned by extraordinary spellcasters.

No matter what time it is, it won't be rotten.

Moreover, this spell is extremely practical for himself, the god of future roads and infrastructure.

Whether it is road paving or house construction, it is very useful, and the gap is huge.

And it's beyond the scope of wand making (it can only hold spells below the three rings), and the staff is so expensive to manufacture that even Gavin, who has a lot of money now, can't afford to equip himself on a large scale.

In addition to the conventional train of thought above, Gavin has an unconventional line of thought.

That is, starting from the power of the road and the power of construction, to see if it can give birth to a god-given ability similar to paving, and at worst, it is also a good choice to transform stone shaping, fossils into mud and mud into stone, which can be cast with spell-like abilities.

But unfortunately, his mastery of the power of the road is too limited, and the paving technique is derived from the destiny milestone, and even it has not been fully understood until now, let alone the targeted gifting of God-given abilities.

When it comes to the milestone of fate, when killing the Lord of Wither, Gavin has a faint feeling that he can open a new one, at least golden.

But he was forced down by Gavin, for him now, the golden fate milestone is relatively limited, and most of the abilities it gives are the peak of the mundane, while the sperm fate milestone only involves the realm of gods, so that it can have qualitative help and advancement for his career.

"Are there any other issues that I could help with?"

"Nope."

"Are you used to eating here?"

"If you can fill your stomach, if there is nothing else, you can go."

"Then master, you are busy, I won't bother much."

Domingo also belongs to the kind of people who are crazy about art, if it were not for this, he would not be burdened with the crime of dereliction of duty one after another, and the life of a prisoner in the past month or so has fully activated this attribute of his.

Relieved of the responsibilities imposed on him by the Council of Death Chiefs, he felt a sense of relief, a wellspring of creative inspiration, and he had to devote all his energy to his beloved carvings.

For a super otaku, it's not captivity, it's a dream lifestyle.

Now with the mark of death, his life has entered the countdown, which makes him personally feel the sense of urgency of the short-lived race, and he begins to race against time when he still has feelings and artistic inspiration, leaving more of his own works in this world.

This is naturally what Gavin likes to see, although he is not sure whether the super high shaping attainment of the road god statue will make it bring additional attributes and ability bonuses, but it is also a good thing to be more like.

Gavin came out of Domingo's cell on his front foot, no, it should now be called Domingo's Stonework Art Room.

Shanoba couldn't wait to ask, "What happened before?" What exactly did you agree on? ”

When Gavin made an agreement with the longs, he was in a shadow space, isolated from the inside and outside, and Shanoba and the others had no idea what was going on inside.

"We made a war deal." Gavin put it succinctly, "We have a year to prepare for war, and the Council of Death Chiefs will spare no effort to gather those monster tribes in the Giant's Plains and launch an all-out attack on us." ”

The fewer people who know about stealing souls, the better, and they only need to know the final outcome of the matter, not the reason.

"A year to prepare?" Juliu was surprised at first, and then said solemnly, "Lord Lord, this matter should not be careless, the Council of the Chiefs of Death is not stupid, it will not be unaware that we have now restarted Colossus City, and it will not be unclear that the production capacity of this mine is at full capacity."

Not to mention a year, even if it is given us a few months, we can produce enough sophisticated equipment to arm tens of thousands of people, countless steel.

In a year's time, we'll be able to turn the Colossus into an impregnable wall.

And this year, it doesn't mean much to them, at most let them gather more monster armies, but even if there are more, it will be cannon fodder.

Their real elite is the heavy armor giant undead guards they have accumulated over thousands of years, and from the memory of me, the number of such equipment produced is no less than 100,000, let alone before.

Taking advantage of our weakest moments, leading the elite undead to fight is the most correct tactic.

Could the so-called war agreement be a ploy of the other side?

In order to let the lord let his guard down and then take the opportunity to kill him? ”

The gray dwarf patriarch still has an instinctive fear and worry about the Council of Death Chiefs, seeing it as the greatest threat to Colossus, and does not hesitate to use the greatest malice to carry these enemies.

"Patriarch Yuriu is right." Gavin not only did not refute the gray dwarf patriarch, but agreed, "So, I am going to adopt a strategy and tactics that are loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

Externally, we focus on developing the economy of Colossus City, and we must maximize the capacity of iron ore mining, steel smelting and equipment forging in the shortest possible time.

Iron ore mining is under the overall responsibility of the Jiharin patriarch, who is in charge of all personnel appointments, dismissals and dispatches here.

Steel smelting and equipment forging are under the overall responsibility of the Yuriu Patriarch, assisted by the Patriarch of Jiharin, if there is a shortage of personnel in the Colossus Dungeon, the two patriarchs will be given priority to negotiate and solve it on their own, and if there is no way to reach an agreement, report it to me.

With this arrangement, the two patriarchs have no objection, right? ”

When asked, Gavin's eyes fell primarily on Giharin, who was an ally, not his subordinate.

"Nope."

"Your Excellency's arrangement is very reasonable."

Giharin and Yuriu replied one after another.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Gavin continued, "At the same time, we must vigorously promote the cultivation of food in Colossus, on the one hand, by reusing the mushroom plantations in the pits.

On the other hand, it is to open up wasteland around Colossus City, even if we can't achieve food self-sufficiency in a short period of time, we must ensure that we can hold on for a period of time after being besieged by the undead.

This matter is handled by the Lord of Shanoba City, not only the kobolds in the Colossus City are at your disposal, but the kobolds in the wilderness of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree can also be deployed at will.

In the past year, they have been highly assimilated by the natural power of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, and many of the dragon veins, dragon blood, and dragon transformation abilities that they have opened are related to natural plants, and they have advantages in planting that ordinary kobolds do not have. ”

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Shanoba listened to Gavin's words.

Even if the kobold is not good at farming, he has to become good at farming.

"Internally, it is actively preparing for the army construction of the Colossus." Gavin's thinking is very clear, economic, political, and military are grasped, "The task of the city lord of Shanoba remains the same, and he still selects the right dragon kobold, and forms an air force with the flying dragon as the core."

The preliminary plan is that in the next year, the number of flying dragons will reach 500, and the Blackwing Kobold Legion will reach at least five, each with no less than 2,000 people, do you have the confidence to complete the task? ”

"My lord, don't worry, I won't hold back." Shanopa's faith is as full as her breasts.

Judging from the current pace of development of Colossus City, the Black Dragon Maiden felt that her man's estimate was too conservative, and in a year's time, if the number did not reach twice the amount he had planned, it would be considered a failure.

But she likes his low-key and steady.
