Chapter 954: 584

"Grand Inquisitor, I think I’ve found another point of cooperation," Gaven said enthusiastically.

Valon pondered and said, "You’re not referring to something like Blood Horn, capable of connecting to the Shadow Plane, are you? Can you really use this method to take control of them?"

"Yes," Gaven admitted generously, "Taking control is indeed one method, but another method is to completely draw out all the evil power from there, and then purify it, which would make it much easier, just like the original Land of Sealing."

As the Shadow Power he possessed increased, Gaven felt not that he had more resources at hand, but rather that he was increasingly strapped for resources due to the growing number of places that required its use.

Especially after considering the wonderful use of Blood Horn, it seemed like a bottomless pit. According to his intuition, even pouring all the existing Shadow Power in his hands into it wouldn’t meet the demands of dragging the Blood Horn.

"We can’t refuse this cooperation," Grand Inquisitor Valon replied without hesitation.

Even for them, the Holy Warriors, sealing a Shadow Plane portal was a very troublesome affair.

Most often, they used the time-consuming and clumsy method of Sanctum, thoroughly purifying the affected sites, cutting off the overlap and connection between the Material Plane and the Shadow Plane.

Moreover, this sealing and purification could hardly be declared completely thorough. Many places might reopen at any time, and becoming even more severe is not uncommon, bringing about a large number of additional casualties.

Compared to that, Gaven’s method of fighting fire with fire could not be said to be a permanent solution, but it certainly was a simpler method.

Having resolved the situation, they were then teleported back to Weizemay New Village, and Grand Inquisitor Valon along with Laurantice bid their farewells one after another.

The casualties of the Gnolls in Weizemay New Village were also tallied, with nearly a thousand injured but few dead, the actual deaths being only twenty-three.

The casualties caused by the Koutao Fishmen only accounted for a small part; the majority came from the Corpse Spider Elf’s Mad Ritual Sound, which had a brutal effect on the Gnolls, a race with relatively weak willpower.

Those who heard it could hardly resist it with their own willpower; thanks to the presence of a group of Holy Warriors from Just Hammer ambushing nearby at that time, they promptly stopped their mutual slaughter—by violently beating them into paralysis, many of the Gnolls’ injuries came in this manner.

Treating injuries was much cheaper and simpler than resurrection.

For the dead Gnolls, Gaven did not attempt to resurrect them.

In the Dragon Oak Territory, a well-established merit reward system had been set up among the Gnolls.

Once such a reward mechanism was established, it should not be broken easily due to Gaven’s personal preferences but should proceed according to this merit reward system.

Within this merit reward system was naturally included a resurrection reward, but these fallen Gnolls simply did not meet the criteria.

For these fallen Gnolls, it was not entirely the end; before leaving the Dragon Oak Territory, they had all left a Soul Totem on the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.

After their deaths, they did not go to the Gnoll God Kulturmak’s God Kingdom, but to the Dragon Oak Dream Realm of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, where they would exist in a new way, with all their life’s merit rewards continuing to accumulate there.

They could choose to use it in the Dragon Oak Dream Realm or save it up for a resurrection reward, submitting resurrection applications.

Before that, their corpses were to be dragged to Mesnoel’s dedicated floor for storage and sealing. Protected by the Shadow Power, their bodies were preserved like they were subject to perpetual embalming spells, free of any decay until a certain time limit was reached and they were cleared out.

They could not possibly preserve all the Gnoll corpses permanently. The low-priced resurrection option in the merit reward mechanism (Resurrection) would last for one year. If within a year the requirement was not met, it would be replaced by a perpetually valid, high-priced resurrection option (Resurrection Technique).

Because of the existence of this merit reward system, the Gnolls of the Dragon Oak Territory were not too fearful of death because, for them, it marked the start of a new journey, one that could possibly bring them back at any time. And as long as they qualified to enter Dragon Oak Dream Realm, meeting the deceased again and celebrating together was utterly normal.

However, a solemn and sacred farewell ceremony was essential; Gaven personally attended and gave a passionate speech to the gathered Gnolls of Dragon Oak Territory.

Gaven had now also grasped the preferences of these Gnolls. Before the speech, he performed several transformations for them: first into Dragon Wings state, then Half-Dragon, and then Flying Dragon state; unfortunately, he had not yet mastered the transformation into Giant Dragon, or it would have been perfect.

Even so, it still excited the Gnolls immensely. Due to the Soul Dragon Transformation, Gaven naturally exuded a Giant Dragon aura, and his successive transformations thoroughly convinced the Gnolls of his Giant Dragon identity.

As for the fact that Gaven initially was just an ordinary Half-Elf but now possessed the Giant Dragon Bloodline, to these Gnolls, it was not a flaw but a point of excitement, as it represented their lifelong pursuit.

"Today twenty-three of our kin have left us, but please believe me, this separation is not permanent, but temporary. They have just moved to another place, adopted a different way to continue pursuing our dream of ascension, they are not the deceased but pioneers. So today, we should not be sad, but feel grateful to them, grateful that they have explored another path for us, today we take pride in them, hoping that someday, the entire Dragon Oak Territory can take pride in you," Gaven’s speech, spoken in the Dragon language, was almost a roar.

This hit right on the Gnolls’ tastes, and they excitedly howled, "For our Lord, for the Dragon Oak Territory, for the dream of ascension!"
