After this person is eliminated, we can only consider the gods related to death and immortality. Jergal, the Recorder of Death, is one of the oldest gods. During the era of the Netheril Empire, he possessed powerful divine power. However, this Lord hated performing his duties and gradually transferred his priesthood to Bane. , Baal and Melkor. These three were all powerful at their peak. This shows how powerful Jergal was at his peak. But these three have become a thing of the past. And Jergal now only has weak divine power. He only maintains fatalism, funeral and tombkeeper, a few relatively unpopular death-related priesthoods, and watches everything in the world with cold eyes. Building the temple of this god is not that complicated, because he is indifferent to everything, including his own believers and beliefs. Don't even think about getting any help from him in the future. Even Gavin would not be willing to invest too much energy and attention in the presence of a god who had no desires and little to gain. As for Kelemvor, the god of the dead, he, along with Cyric and Midnight, were made gods by mortals last year.
But compared to the rising gods of conspiracy, Cyric, and the goddess of magic, Midnight, he is still somewhat unknown. Because most of the priesthoods related to death were taken away by Cyric, he is now just a small substitute, a little transparent. It will be ten years before he truly comes to the stage and becomes a powerful god. The war between Bane and Cyric completely broke out, and he took the opportunity to seize the entire Death Priesthood. At this point, the conflict between him and Cyric was also put on the table. Believing in him now would be a timely help, and it would be easy to win his attention and favor. The only problem is that the God of the Dead was a warrior with a full sense of justice during his lifetime. Even after becoming the God of Death, he has not completely changed his mind. He is extremely disapproving of life extension and undead creatures. His priest advocates the destruction of all undead creatures so that they can Entering the cycle of life and death. As for good and evil, they are not within the scope of their consideration. Since all immortal existences break the cycle of life and death, it is abnormal. In this respect, the Manor of Vizeme was obviously inconsistent with it. Now that life extension was mentioned, Gavin thought of a god who had a completely opposite attitude towards this matter than Kelemvor. The Healer of the Blue, the Poison of Death, the Lord of Flesh and Bones, and the Doom of Pain and Plague, Jasanapur. He is a good deity whose main vocations are healing, necromancy, physical knowledge and firm will. He approved of people using various good means to extend their lives, including becoming undead, as long as this transformation did not carry the curse of eternal hunger and thirst. Existences like Estelle, mother and daughter, and Black Heather were naturally within the scope of his acceptance. The only problem is that he is not a native god of Faerûn, but one from the multiverse. Although his faith has spread to Faerûn, it is very narrow, with only a handful of preachers, and most people have never even heard of his name. If you want to build his temple, you must have at least one of his priests, otherwise it will be an empty building. Where to find a priest of the Blue Healer, this is the biggest problem. Gavin, who was making calculations and comparisons in his mind, did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he turned to Anna and said: "When you have time, Andrew will take you around the neighborhood and see if there is a suitable place to build a building." The real Ilmat Church should be able to suppress the negative energy of the manor to a certain extent without completely covering it up.” As soon as these words came out, it meant that Gavin had completely given up his plan to build a temple to the good god Zhuan in the Vizeme Manor. Even the temples related to the death god Zhuan are not planned to be repaired in the short term.
Instead, they fight through external suppression. "Great, I've wanted to do this for a long time." Anna's eyes sparkled with excitement, but the next second, she was a little entangled and said, "What should I do over there at the Dragon Oak Collar? I finally got a little bit there. progress." "That's just to let you accumulate preaching experience." Gavin said lightly, "The true faith of the kobolds is the dragon, and only the dragon. Those kobold believers you trained are all false believers. I A bottle of dragon blood potion can lure them away. Human beings and races with similar characteristics are the focus of our evangelistic training. In the future, I will further increase the resource allocation to you and try my best to help me train a large number of real pastors. " Previously, there was no other way, so Anna was asked to train kobold priests. Facts have proved that they are not the material at all. Even if they formed an effective kobold medical team, they did not rely on faith, but on the magic-like abilities awakened through the three major rituals of dragon vein, dragon blood, and dragon transformation. They still relied on their own dragon bloodline. Now that there is a better choice, Anna naturally has to step away and invest her energy in a more worthwhile direction. "Ah..." The young priest's face suddenly fell. She is a person who is very nostalgic for old friendships. She is a little reluctant to let go of the kobold priests she has finally trained. After all, they have provided her with a lot of help in refining magic potions. . "Don't worry, they will be the first to be dispatched as soon as the church starts to be built." Gavin reassured Anna, "After all, in many ways, they are easier to use than ordinary people, especially when you are training Before there was a real priest." "I know Mr. Gavin is the most thoughtful. I will choose the site tomorrow morning." Anna said excitedly. Gavin finally did not entrust this matter to the young priest alone. The next morning, he set out with her and walked around the entire Vizeme Vineyard. Finally, the temple was chosen on the other side of the vineyard. It is three and a half kilometers away from Vizeme Manor in a straight line. It was chosen to be built here because Vizeme Manor is destined to be unsuitable for permanent living, and even the surrounding area is not suitable. Rather than choosing a site for the Temple of Ilmater, it is better to say that it is a site for the new town. The new town will revolve around this temple. Since it is a future town, it is natural to consider the cheapness and safety of residents. It is close to water in the west and road in the east, and is located on the only way to Vizeme Manor. Since it is a project, it is inevitable to transfer dog-headed people from the Spring Bud Forest. In this regard, they are professional. It doesn't matter even if they have never built a human house before. They can dig holes and build roads first. They need to build a residence for themselves in Vizeme Manor and lay sewers for the future town of Vizeme. For large-scale engineering construction, more than ten or eight kobolds are needed. Gavin initially planned to transfer 800 kobolds, and it would not be appropriate to let Lord Virginia send people back and forth. She can send at most three times a day, with eight people each time, and she needs to send 800 kobolds for a month. If these 800 kobolds go by land and then are transferred from the Asaba River by the halfling fleet, it will take less than ten days.
It goes without saying how to choose. Even teleportation is not omnipotent. A portal that can teleport in large quantities is a good thing. Unfortunately, Lord Virginia does not have a second dragon oak mother tree seed. The construction of an ordinary portal is not a matter of whether it is expensive or not, but a question of whether it can be built. Most of the portals used in Faerun now have a long history, originating from the elves or the Netheril Empire, and only a few have been built in modern times. Relatively common is the teleportation array that uses the magic constant spell. However, the teleportation array is a nine-ring spell, and there are only a handful of people who are proficient in it, and they are not willing to build it on a large scale. If the teleportation array is cast normally, only the corresponding casting materials are needed. Once a permanent teleportation array is established, it will consume the caster's experience points. The lower the usage conditions, the more experience points will be consumed, and vice versa. Gavin did not squat in Vizeme Manor, waiting for the arrival of the kobold engineering team. Instead, on the third day, he took the halfling houseboat and went down the Asaba River. Halfling leader Avery was going to Feather Valley to buy cotton for Gavin. Originally, Gavin was going to let Vito Avery do this. Later, he calculated that he had enough time, the travel method was convenient enough, and it was also on the way, so he decided to go there in person. Putting aside other things, just talking about the information collected along the way, Gavin exclaimed that the trip was worthwhile. From Yewen Pond, down the river, to the Black Feather Bridge, this section of waterway. The north bank belongs to the Battle Valley, and the south bank belongs to the Taser Valley. It's just that the scenery on both sides is different. On the Battle Valley side, most places are flat alluvial plains. There are settlements and towns, but they are scattered and very rare. On the Taser Valley side, the upper half is similar to the Battle Valley, with large areas of impact plains, many settlements, and many places have been reclaimed into fertile farmland. However, in the lower half, the Dun Hills are across the river, and the high hills and ridges are rolling, which makes Gavin feel a little bit back to the rocky land. "There are large areas of fertile land on this side of the Battle Valley, and the convenience of the Ashaba River. Why are there so few residents and farmland here?" Gavin couldn't help asking when he was about to leave the Battle Valley. "My Lord, you are only seeing the bright side now." The halfling leader explained with a smile, "When the rainy season arrives in Cormanso, the water volume of the three rivers will surge at the same time, and the water level of the entire Yevin Pond will be raised by one meter. You should be able to imagine how turbulent the river water here will be. You have also seen the terrain just now. On the Taser Valley side, the Dun Hills are their natural river embankment. On the Battle Valley side, there is no shelter and the river bursts its embankment, flooding the surrounding land for dozens of kilometers. This is a common occurrence. In comparison, on the Rosaville Road side , there are also large tracts of fertile land, and there are merchants coming and going, and the lord's soldiers patrol. The valley has never lacked rain, so there is no need to worry about irrigation. Under these two conditions, if it were the lord, what would you choose? "
Avery seemed to have thought of something, and added: "Not as a lord, but as an ordinary farmer, the construction of a river embankment of 150 kilometers is not something that one or two farmers can do." The halfling leader's implication was obvious. He believed that the new lord of Vizeme Manor was capable of doing this. It took the other party less than two ten days to make Vizeme Manor look brand new from top to bottom. If he was given another three or five years, what kind of changes would he bring to the Three Rivers, the Battle Valley, and even the surrounding valleys? I can't imagine it. Avery is full of expectations for this. Because it means that they will have more job opportunities, can enjoy more convenient services, and have a better life. "It seems that if we want to develop this place, the first task is to build embankments and control the river." Gavin thought. Even for him, this is a big project. However, this project can be carried out in sections based on the terrain. The main problem now is that he doesn't have much idea about this Komanso rainy season, and he doesn't know what the Asaba River will look like after the flood, so he can't start construction rashly.
