I am a god in another world
Chapter 738 The Gathering of All Races in Giant Plains
There are not many cloud rays controlled by others, but most of them steal cloud ray eggs like them and assist in various magic taming since childhood. The success rate is extremely low, and ordinary forces cannot afford it.
After all, the appetite of adult cloud rays is quite amazing. It is normal for them to eat three to five cows in one meal.
Although it is an omnivore and eats a variety of vegetation and grains, it cannot sustain large amounts.
The cost of raising a cloud ray to adulthood is absolutely staggering.
I have never heard of, let alone seen, directly operating on an adult cloud ray like this.
Now they finally understand why the other party is willing to pay a high price to buy cloud rays. This is because they have mastered the method of taming them and can buy them in batches.
Roar!
Seeing the trio of thieves, Cloud Ray let out a unique wind roar as if it had seen its enemies, and huge boulders flew up from the ground.
"Calm down, calm down, they are sending your child back." Gavin comforted him, "What are you waiting for? Why don't you quickly take out the cloud ray eggs!"
"Here?" The three thieves looked puzzled.
"If I ask you to let go, you guys can just let it go. Nothing will happen." Gavin nodded firmly.
"Okay." It was still the half-elf thief who took the lead. He opened the bag of life-sustaining dimensions, and a giant egg covered with cloud-like patterns and spots emerged directly from it. Something strange happened.
The cloud ray egg did not fall freely and simply floated in mid-air.
"How is this going?"
"Cloud ray eggs can actually fly?"
"It's so amazing!"
The three thieves looked surprised.
"It's not flying, but floating. This is the innate ability of cloud rays. How could they not have eggs? The cloud rays' native plane, the elemental plane of air, does not have large tracts of land. How can they produce eggs? Egg?" Gavin was not surprised by this.
Because the cloud ray is not a magical beast native to the material plane, but the air elemental plane is its home, and I believe there are more of them there.
But the difficulty of finding them there is much higher than on the material plane.
Because that world is an endless sky, with only countless island-like land masses of different sizes floating there. There is no distinction between up and down, front and back, and left and right. Most creatures live a life of endless migration.
When flightless creatures get there, it is a disaster. Although they will not fall (because there is no gravity), it is very difficult to move. They can only swim, well, swim in the air.
If you want to find cloud rays there, you just rely on luck. You might bump into one in the next second, or you might never bump into one in your lifetime.
"I see, I've been taught a lesson. It seems that I haven't done enough in my homework." The half-elf thief thanked him sincerely.
As he spoke, the second cloud ray egg was also released from his life-sustaining dimensional bag. The coil of phase spider silk that served as the connection dimensional bag slowly faded, and finally turned into nothingness and disappeared completely, representing This life-sustaining dimension has disappeared.
In this matter, the half-elf thieves did not lie. The life-sustaining dimensional bags in their hands were disposable.
There are also permanent life-sustaining dimensional bags, but the cost of the two is definitely not at the same level. This kind of disposable consumable is mainly cheap.
The human female thief followed closely and released the third cloud ray egg.
The halfling thief didn't take action for a long time. His little face as big as a palm was twisted into a ball, with an expression of pain.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The cloud ray had already floated within the reach of its own mind control ability. Three cloud ray eggs floating in the air flew towards it, but the roar it made was more urgent and angry because there were not enough of them.
Before Gavin could say anything, the half-elf thief became anxious and reminded him repeatedly: "Beska, don't do stupid things. If you want to make money, there will be many opportunities in the future, but not now."
He is very aware of the faults of his companion, who loves money as much as his life. He has made more than one mistake in this matter since he was a child, but he still cannot change it.
I don't know if the halfling thief figured it out on his own, or if the half-elf thief's urging had an effect, or he was too incompetent to escape.
Beskar finally chose to release the two cloud ray eggs in his hand, but he muttered something in his mouth, which was obviously not a good thing.
Seeing Gavin's eyes looking at the halfling thief become a little deeper, containing some deep meaning, the half-elf thief couldn't help but defend his companion: "Although Beskar has some bad habits in this aspect, he is not a bad person. I Make sure he won’t cause any trouble to you in this regard.”
"Greed is not terrible, what is terrible is the greed that cannot distinguish the situation." Gavin said meaningfully, "As an adventurer, especially a thief who walks on the tightrope, this kind of bad habit will happen if you are not careful. It will become a disaster and drag you all into the abyss of eternal destruction. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am."
He speaks from experience. In his previous life, he suffered heavy losses at the hands of teammates like this and almost wiped out the team. Since then, he has always stayed away from such people.
At least I won't go on adventures with them in groups, especially those in dungeons or treasure spots, where wealth is often tied to danger.
Uncontrollable greed is the path to death.
"I will discipline him well." The half-elf thief's promise was somewhat feeble. This kind of temperament is the most difficult to change.
If it could be done, I would have done it long ago and wouldn't have waited until now.
"Take care of yourself." Gavin just warned the other party and said nothing more. The other party was not his subordinate and did not even agree to hire him. In other words, he had a love for the half-elf thief and did not want him. A big fall.
But judging from the series of performances just now, they are not just a cooperative relationship. They still have a deep bond with each other. They probably grew up together. It is impossible for the half-elf thief to give up on the other party because of his shortcomings.
Only after an irreversible setback has been made, it is possible to part ways.
After all the cloud ray eggs were recovered, the cloud ray gradually calmed down.
Five eggs were placed on his back in a star shape, obviously preparing to carry them with him.
"Set off."
Gavin ordered the cloud ray to continue floating in the air, and first went to the cloud ray's lair to see if there were any other treasures here.
Unfortunately, cloud rays don't have the same hobby of collecting treasures as giant dragons. The five cloud ray eggs are the only valuable things in the nest, and the rest are not even considered tatters.
This situation also has advantages, at least no one will go out to find trouble with Yun Ray for the sake of treasures and wealth.
After leaving the Giant's Run Mountains, Gavin did not return directly to Colossus City with the cloud rays and flying dragons. Instead, he slightly deflected the direction and went directly to the center of the Giant Plain.
Looking down from a high altitude, both Gavin and Shanoba have long been accustomed to it, but for the three thieves, it is a new experience. Even the halfling thieves can't bear to feel the pain of losing the treasure, lying on the cloud ray. The edge looks down.
They only felt that their field of vision was extremely vast, as if half of the Giant Plains were beneath them, and both the animals and the figures became not much bigger than ants.
"Why are there so many people down there? So lively?"
As the halfling thief spoke, he dug into his portable backpack and took out a retractable monocular telescope. He lay on the back of the cloud ray and looked down.
"Hobgoblins, trolls, orcs, gnolls... my dear, this is simply a huge gathering of monsters. Monsters from the entire Giant Plains are gathered here."
"Let me see, let me see, let me see..." The human female thief snatched the copper telescope from the halfling's hand and observed the situation below, "Really, hey, they seem to be They are gathering in one direction, what’s going on? Could it be that the monster tribes in the Giant Plains are uniting?”
"It's not a union, but they are convening a meeting of all races to reach an armistice agreement with Blood Gorge City." Compared to the meeting of all races, Gavin was more interested in the monoculars that the two men snatched away, and asked half a question. The elf thief said, "Did you make this thing yourself?"
"I really want to say yes, but I can't be unconscionable. Although this thing is made by ourselves, it is at best an imitation. The original version comes from those dwarves and is called Eagle Glasses." The half-elf thief answered truthfully.
"Whose hand did it come from?" Gavin was not interested in who invented it. The key was whether it could be produced, preferably in batches.
There is a very critical issue in high-altitude combat, and that is vision, especially in high-altitude bombing. You can't just blow up the target without seeing it clearly.
In fact, the most suitable equipment is not a telescope.
It was a piece of equipment that Gavin had acquired very early—Dragon Vision Glasses.
These magic glasses, which imitate the vision of a giant dragon, can easily see targets kilometers away. They are clearer than an eight-fold mirror and can even zoom in and out.
But this is not a magic item created by conventional magic. Most mages don't know how to make it. Although Gavin has asked several mages to help analyze it and try to imitate it, there is no follow-up yet. I'm afraid it won't be easy. matter.
The second is Sharp Ear and Eagle Eye. This is a three-ring spell. After being cast, it can form an invisible induction field. The caster can see or hear what is going on there as if he were personally there, even if the two sides are separated. With many obstacles, it can be cast as long as it is within the effective range of the spell. Once cast, the invisible induction force field will not be able to move and can only observe the surrounding situation.
The most important thing is that the casting distance of this spell is a bit too close, only a few hundred meters. It is definitely enough for adventure, but it is not enough for aerial combat.
We must find ways to further improve it, or make it into corresponding magic equipment, just like telescopes.
Before this research was put into action, normal telescopes appeared in front of Gavin.
The difficulty of making this thing is not high. As long as there is clear and transparent glass or crystal, and a few skillful craftsmen, it can be easily polished and made.
Even if the first two are successfully developed, the telescope will probably dominate the market. After all, it has the advantage of being cheap and easy to install on a large scale.
"This is Beskar's masterpiece. Our gliding suit was also developed by him." The half-elf thief tried to save the impression of the halfling thief. "He is a typical miscarriage. There is a dwarf soul in his body. He is very talented in this aspect, and he can find a way to imitate many subtle things just by looking at them.”
"If he is really as talented as you say, he should stay in the research and manufacturing laboratory instead of following you around the world. This is good for him and for you." Gavin said to the halfling thief The impression did pick up a bit.
When the gods close a door for a person, they may open a window for him.
Halfling thieves do have fatal flaws, but on the other hand, they have their own strengths and advantages. It depends on how to make the best use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
"We originally planned to do so. After this mission is over, we will stop and go to the City of Faith. Relying on Beskar's craftsmanship, we will open a grocery store of our own. This is our dream since we were young, but it has always been stranded due to various reasons and accidents, and this time is no exception." The half-elf thief's face was full of helplessness.
Life is not satisfactory in nine out of ten cases. Whenever they think that the road has turned around, there will inevitably be a pit waiting for them in front, pushing them on the road of adventure.
"If your companions really prove that they have the ability in this area, I think we will have new cooperation points. At that time, it will not be as simple as opening a grocery store, but directly opening various factories." Gavin is now seeing business opportunities and will not let them go.
Although there are large industries in Faerun, most of them are in the enlightenment state, and more are production workshops, mainly family-based.
To promote the further prosperity of trade, large-scale industrial production is essential.
"That's easy. I'll ask Beska to make a list of all the equipment and items that he can make or imitate, and give it to you. Let's see what you are interested in, and we can talk about it later." The half-elf thief would naturally not refuse this matter. After all, there is no risk. Even if he is cheated, it is nothing more than paying for the craftsmanship of some ordinary items.
"Cooperative factory construction is cooperative factory construction. My previous employment proposal is still valid, but I suggest that Mr. Beska be excluded from the adventure team and concentrate on what he is best at."
"Sorry, I can't give you an accurate answer now. We need to discuss it further." The half-elf thief is still wary of this matter.
First, the money is a little too easy to make.
Second, his understanding of this big man is really limited, only hearsay, and he is afraid that he will accidentally fall into a bottomless pit and never climb out.
Which of those big men doesn't treat small people like them as grass?
Use it and throw it away.
And this conqueror is bigger than all the big men he has ever seen before, and his reputation is more prominent.
Under normal circumstances, there is no chance to climb up.
"You have plenty of time. When you figure it out, just come to me directly." Gavin no longer cared about the half-elf thief's little thoughts, but focused his attention on the Ten Thousand Races Conference below.
It is true that he gave all the handling rights of this matter to Blood Claw, but it does not mean that he does not pay attention to it at all, especially the main members of the Giant Plains, who are their main competitors in the Giant Plains in the future.
In fact, both sides knew that there would be a battle between them sooner or later, but not now.
Neither side was prepared for this, and they were buying time for themselves.
"Lord Bloodclaw, please don't push us too far. We have already given up the most fertile pastures. Now you are asking our tribe to pay tribute, one animal per person per year, and the number of giant animals should account for one tenth. Even if you rob them, you can't do it so quickly. Do you still want our tribe to survive?"
"There are ways to deal with ordinary animals, but there is no way to deal with giant animals. You, Blood Gorge City, have been plundering giant animals all over the plains for a while. The accumulation of hundreds of years has almost been robbed by you. Where can we find so many giant animals?"
"This condition is too harsh. You have no sincerity in peace talks. Do you really think that the entire Giant Plains belongs to you? All tribes in the entire Giant Plains, regardless of race, unite, The population is at least ten times yours. If we push them too hard, we will drown you with human waves. "
"If you have the ability, you would have done it long ago, and would not have waited until now. The conditions we offer are very sincere. If you force us to take it ourselves, I am afraid that the number will not be this large. Without you, I believe that the remaining people will be very willing to help you take care of the pasture."
"Don't even think about splitting us up. We are not divided by race now. We are one."
"If you want to fight, then fight. If you want livestock, there is none."
"We will never accept your extortion again."
"Since it is a peace talk, both sides must show the minimum sincerity. It cannot be that we give in again and again, while you, Blood Gorge City, do not give in at all."
The progress of the Giant Plains Ten Thousand People Assembly was not smooth.
Where there is oppression, there will be resistance.
This applies not only to intelligent creatures, but also to monsters.
Over the past period of time, the hobgoblins led by Bloodclaw have been too harsh on the monster tribes on the Giant Plains. They have shown a united trend, just like the Eight Cities Alliance on the Dragon Coast. They are forming their own tribal alliance.
The leader is a group of orc tribes. The participants are all orc giants who are more than four and a half meters tall. In these barbaric tribes, size has a huge advantage and often can gain dominance.
The kingdom that previously dominated the Giant Plains was undoubtedly the Troll Kingdom. Their innate regeneration ability, coupled with a large number of regeneration gems, plus the stronger body and wisdom given by the Giant Plains, made their troll army unstoppable in the Giant Plains. All tribes had to pay tribute to them obediently to make them stronger.
However, these trolls have the same legendary laziness as all trolls. They rarely take the initiative to attack. Many more remote tribes simply ignore their existence.
Today we resume the double update, as usual, the second update is still at 1pm!
A new feature has been released recently, if you have any pictures you want to see, please leave a message and I will try my best to find them!
