Chapter 266 Trouble at the Tethyr Refugee Camp

On and off the stage, men, women, old and young, were talking and arguing.

I don’t know when the ghost wine has added a beauty function.

Gavin, who had already entered the backstage with Regina, couldn’t help asking, “Did you come up with this and add it in?”

“This is not the false advertising you said. Take a closer look. Is my skin more hydrated and elastic than before?” Regina asked with a smile, while leaning forward with her beautiful face.

Just when Gavin really wanted to take a closer look, Regina had already stepped away with a smile, “You really believe it!”

“Is it true or not?” Gavin made Regina a little confused.

“You can say yes or no.” Regina explained, “The effect on ordinary women is not particularly obvious, but for those women who are more masculine, the effect is indeed excellent.”

“Inhibit the secretion of male hormones?” Gavin was stunned. Negative energy has this effect?

"Male hormone? What is that?"

"What about men? After drinking it, does it have a feminine effect?" Gavin asked hurriedly. If he created a bunch of people who were neither male nor female, his Vizeme Manor would be ruined.

"No, we haven't found such an effect yet. However, it is true that after drinking too much, the body temperature will be too low for a long time. Therefore, our suggestion is to drink no more than one glass of ghost wine a day. If you drink more, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

Regina obviously did not have as heavy a psychological burden as Gavin. "My posture has been fully opened. Not only is the whole valley singing the heather leaves knocking on the window, but in Sembia, I have hired ten famous wandering opera troupes, who are touring in cities one by one. Each troupe can guarantee at least three performances a day. Before the last ten days of this month, I guarantee that all of Sembia will know the name of ghost wine and the reopening of Vizeme Manor."

"I have already felt this." Gavin nodded convincedly, "Miss Regina, you are born to do this. It is my best choice to give this job to you."

It is said that some people are gifted.

You can't help but believe it.

Regina has not systematically studied advertising and marketing, but she caters to this point everywhere, firmly grasping people's curiosity, women's attention to their appearance, public opinion guidance and other publicity points.

Since Gavin came ashore, he has fully experienced the power of carpet-style advertising at saturation.

Even those village women who never leave their homes are familiar with the knocking of heather leaves on the windows. When they talk about Ghost Manor Vizeme and Ghost Wine all the time, how could those merchants who are more informed not know? How could they not be moved?

If you want to make money from those merchants, you must have a market.

Now Regina has opened up the entire market. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is a business that is sure to make money. How can those merchants not flock to it?

The current busyness of Black Feather Bridge is also closely related to Vizeme Manor and Ghost Wine.

Those merchants are preparing for the ghost wine auction on the first day of next month. Going upstream along the Asaba River from the Black Feather Bridge is the best way to get to the Vizeme Manor.

Taking a large amount of cash and going to the Vizeme Manor for the auction will be the most unprofitable business.

Carefully preparing goods that can be sold at the ghost wine auction, or directly exchanged with the Vizeme Manor for ghost wine, is the most cost-effective business.

Especially when Gavin spread the word through Regina and Daniel, the most prepared goods are still food.

"Since I have taken the benefits, of course I have to make some achievements, otherwise, I will not feel at ease with this money." Regina's face has an unconcealed pride, which is much more useful to her than simply praising her beauty. "How are your preparations?"

"Before coming out, I think I have almost prepared it." Gavin said with a wry smile, "But after seeing the battle made by Miss Regina, I think it is still far away, especially in terms of safety."

Business opportunities and troubles coexist.

When the merchants knew the value of the Vizeme Manor, the bandits and robbers who liked to get something for nothing would naturally know it.

People die for money and birds die for food.

When the benefits are big enough, banks will be robbed.

Not to mention, Gavin was just an unknown person in the valley before this.

Those bandits and the thieves' union would not take him seriously at all. It was only a matter of time before they came to the door.

Maybe they have already come.

"Can we hold on until the first day of next month? By then, not only can I bring some people to cheer, but Mr. Daniel should also bring people to the scene in person." Regina asked with concern.

After all, there are personal interests here, and they are worth 100,000 gold coins.

"The problem should not be big, but I am always uneasy if I don't watch it at home. Can we make a quick decision here?" Gavin shifted the topic to what he was most concerned about.

Gavin was not afraid of a small number of bandits.

The degree of haunting in Vizeme Manor is even more brutal than that of an untamed manor. Unless a superb paladin or superb priest like Daniel comes in person, nothing good will happen there.

Then again, such people would definitely not bother to do such a thing. They have many legitimate ways to make money quickly.

What makes him more afraid are the ruthless gangs and thieves' unions. If they fail, they may take out their anger on the halflings of Anbao Ship Village.

"This..." Regina's expression turned gloomy, "Things may be more troublesome than we thought."

"What's wrong?" Gavin's expression suddenly changed slightly. "Are those Tethyr refugees unwilling to move again? Or are they having an armed conflict with the local residents?"

Gavin was more worried about the latter possibility than the former possibility.

If it's the former, he has many ways to think of it. As a group of refugees, there is definitely no such thing as being unable to leave their homeland. There is nothing more than a lack of interests, or concerns about safety and survival.

It would be more troublesome to switch to the latter one.

Especially when there is blood, even if those Tethyr refugees are willing to follow him, the local residents must be willing.

But judging from the atmosphere in Lucky Village, it doesn't look like it's in wartime.

"No, it's more troublesome than this." Regina led Gavin towards the stables, "Let's talk as we walk..."

When the group arrived at the Tethyr refugee camp under the Good Luck Tooth Mountains, Regina and Gavin had already given a rough introduction to the situation here.

This Tessel refugee camp is only five kilometers away from Good Luck Village in a straight line, but it takes a full fifteen kilometers by horseback because they have to go around the Good Luck Tooth Mountains.

Located at the intersection of the Good Luck Tooth Mountains, the Cormanthor Forest, and the Cold Lands.

This is also the junction of Battle Valley, Lingyu Valley and Cultivated Valley.

The only famous landmark building here is the Good Luck Fang Mage Tower.

It was the one that failed to sell at the ghost manor auction that Gavin participated in earlier.

Due to the remoteness of the terrain, before these Tethyr refugees arrived, it was an out-and-out no-nonsense area.

Those Tethyr refugees who are stranded here probably value this. As long as they don't go out to do evil, no one will come, claim ownership of this place, and disturb their lives.

This Tessel refugee camp has been around for some time. The first Tessel refugees who arrived here were ten years ago. At that time, there were only a few dozen people.

With the subsequent addition of Tethyr refugees one after another, the number of refugees here has exceeded 500, which is only a lot more.

Rather than a refugee camp, it would be more appropriate to call it a simple mountain village.

"You mean, you suspect that the missing refugees in this refugee camp are related to the Fang of Good Luck Mage Tower? What's the reason?"

The trouble Regina mentioned was not that the Tethyr refugees were causing trouble, but that there was trouble here.

Recently, a large number of people here have disappeared. In less than half a month, nearly fifty people have disappeared. As a last resort, the leader of the refugee camp asked Lord Ilmet of the Battle Valley for help, hoping that he would send someone assist investigation.

If this problem is not solved, even if Gavin tells the truth, these refugees will not leave their relatives whose lives are uncertain and follow him to the Land of Three Rivers.

"More than fifty people are not a small number. Especially the Tessel refugee camp is not an ordinary village. There are many veterans in it, especially their leader. He is a powerful warrior who can continue to fight under his nose. There is only one possibility to capture people, and that is to use magic.

Coincidentally, before they had a missing person, they had just seen a red-robed mage enter the Lucky Fang Mage Tower in Good Luck Village, and no one saw him come out again. "

Regina explained, "I believe you should have heard of the evil of the Red Robe Mage. Human trafficking is one of their pillar industries. Putting the two things together is probably not just a coincidence."

"Why should this matter be characterized as man-made? Rather than predation by powerful predators? Especially those predators from the ether or shadow plane, it is not difficult to take away the victims silently. "Gavin raised a new question.

"Before coming, I have asked the prophecy mage to divine that the missing people are not dead." Regina was obviously prepared. "Those hunters will not leave anyone alive. The only ones who do this are the slave traders."

"As you said, they really plundered the population into the Fang of Good Luck Mage Tower. How did they take the population away?" Gavin had not considered the possibility of teleportation.

But as soon as he floated up, he rejected it himself.

Just kidding, an extraordinary mage who can use teleportation, even a red-robed mage, can't be so bad that he comes out to traffic people.

They can make a fine magic item at will, which is the pure profit from selling thousands of people.

Either it wasn't the red-robed mage who did it, and if so, it must have been a low-level red-robed mage, or an apprentice.

"This involves another legend about the Mage Tower of the Fang of Good Luck. It is said that this Mage Tower was built on top of the entrance to the Underdark. There is an ancient drow elf fortress below. The refugees who were taken away said It may be temporarily placed in this underground fortress, or it may have been sold to the dark area. This is what we need to find out during this trip." Regina shared all the information she had.

There was only one thing she didn't say, and that was when she asked this familiar prophecy mage to make a prediction.

In addition to searching for information about the missing people, they also divined the outcome of the trip.

The result is that everything is shrouded in a fog of unknowability.

This time, the curiosity of this prophecy mage friend was aroused. After repeated research and comparison, all directions pointed to this young man named Gavin Nott.

He seemed to be shrouded by an invisible force, and nothing about him could be predicted.

The future of the Three Rivers, Vizeme Manor, and even the future of the Battle Valley seemed to be shrouded in a mist because of his appearance.

This half-elf was labeled as a messy person and an unpredictable person by his friend. In the future, don't waste your time on anything related to him, because it can't be predicted at all.

That friend repeatedly warned Regina to stay away from this person.

Because getting too close to him is likely to make him mess up your destiny and make your destiny unknown.

However, this warning not only failed to serve as a warning, but aroused Regina's greater curiosity, and she couldn't help but re-examine the half-elf in front of her.
