Chapter 337 It turns out to be her

"Sorry, I don't accept this deal." Gavin refused neatly, "You have disputes about the Battle Valley's judgment that Vizeme Manor is a lost place. Please go to Lord Ilmet for negotiation. It has nothing to do with me."

Gavin stood up and said to the guests, "The Ghost Wine Auction is about to be held. I have a lot of things to do, so I won't accompany you for long. I still say the same thing as before. If you come to the auction, I welcome you with both hands. If you have other plans, I'm sorry."

Carter's words were also unusually tough: "If Mr. Gavin is unwilling to accept our agreement, then we will reserve the corresponding right to take back the territory, including using force. Please don't make mistakes, Mr. Gavin."

If soft doesn't work, then use hard.

It is the consistent style of Sambia.

"I also have the right to protect my territory, including using force." Gavin responded calmly.

The barefoot are not afraid of the shoe-wearing.

He guessed that the other party was using Sambia to pressure him. If he really used large-scale troops, the other party would probably have many concerns.

If you are not careful, you will stir up a hornet's nest.

Not only will the whole valley react, but even Cormier and Zhentarim will not sit idly by.

They don't want Sembia to annex the valley and become bigger. This is their basic national policy.

"You..." Carter's face finally changed.

It was the first time he saw such a bold young man who turned a blind eye to the threat from a country. Where did he get the confidence?

"Sir, do you want to leave by yourself? Or should I send someone to send you out?" Since the face has been torn, Gavin will naturally not be polite.

"I will leave by myself." Carter snorted heavily, "You still have half a day to consider. Before I leave this place, my previous proposal will be valid. I hope Mr. Gavin will not make a decision that will make you regret for the rest of your life in the future."

"No need to wait for a long time, I will give you a clear answer now. My decision will not change, please." Gavin's attitude was extremely firm.

Carter strode away with a belly full of anger. I guess he had cursed Gavin thousands of times in his heart, and at the same time secretly made up his mind to make the other party pay the price for today's refusal.

Even if Sambia is restricted by the external environment and cannot send out a large mercenary army.

But there are bandits everywhere. It would only take a few minutes to take over a territory with a population of less than a thousand.

Not to mention those adults, even he can think of several methods in a blink of an eye.

After sending away the so-called Sambia representative, Gavin's mood was not affected at all.

According to the greedy nature of those wealthy politicians in Sambia, if he wants to make some achievements here, it is inevitable that he will conflict with them.

When choosing Battle Valley as the new territory, Gavin was mentally prepared for this.

After a deep conversation with the Chief Judge of Wallon, this cognition became clearer.

Now it's just a matter of time.

The next step is to deal with it as it happens. It's useless to worry too much.

Compared with this matter, the serious lack of grassroots management personnel is his biggest headache at present.

The young soldiers led by Copperfield are absolutely good at driving ships on the water, but they are a bit blind when dealing with these businessmen and can't find the direction at all.

In the end, it was the half-elf girls brought by Regina who helped a lot.

Half of them were bards, and the other half were druids.

Even the half-elf druids were good at dancing and were very sleek, not to mention the professional bards who were known to be the best at socializing.

They were more than enough to deal with most of the merchants, and their management ability was also good. As long as Gavin explained the things clearly, they could execute most of them.

At this point, Gavin was overjoyed, so how could he dare to force anything.

It is said that big forces and big figures enter the scene last.

This ghost wine auction is no exception.

Most of the caravans that gathered three days before the auction were small and medium-sized. Before the auction started, many transactions had been finalized. They did not come for the ghost wine, but took the opportunity to promote their own products.

Three days later, the caravans that entered the scene were really heavyweights, and every name was enough to make people tremble.

Zhentarim, Crimson Feather, Cormier Royal Chamber of Commerce, Sel Foreign Trade Association, Darren Chamber of Commerce, Odulin Chamber of Commerce, Selgant Chamber of Commerce, Ulaspiel Chamber of Commerce, Yehong Chamber of Commerce, Selren Chamber of Commerce.

Needless to say, Zhentarim and Crimson Feather are the two major trade hegemons in the Moon Sea region. Where there is interest, they will inevitably be there.

Even if Gavin and Zhentarim have deep grievances and dislike him, he cannot be turned away in such occasions, let alone any radical actions, because the other party is now conducting normal trade activities.

He does not have the strength to directly tear his face with the other party and engage in a full-scale confrontation.

Cormier Royal Chamber of Commerce, as the name suggests, is the Cormier Royal Chamber of Commerce. Because it is a state-owned enterprise, they do not do business in Cormier, but only do business with foreign countries.

The Sel Foreign Trade Association is of the same nature. The representatives of Sel's red-robed wizards and Sel's trade concessions in various countries and cities are the work of this association. Originally unknown, as Sel's magic trade spreads, it has a terrifying amount of income every year, and now its voice in Sel is increasing.

There is no need to repeat the introduction of the last six chambers of commerce, the six major city chambers of commerce in Sembia.

Obviously, they have also made preparations for both situations.

It would be best if they could eat the Vizeme Manor and all the ghost wines in one go. Then they could make use of Gavin's early foreshadowing and reap a fortune here.

If the negotiation breaks down, they will not be able to give up the benefits brought by ghost wine.

This is not simply a matter of interests, but also involves market share.

If they give up ghost wine, they will give up grabbing the market share of this high-end wine. Other businessmen will sell this wine to Sambia and take away more profits from there.

On the last day of the auction, Regina ran out of the Vizeme Manor happily, dragging Gavin and saying, "Let's go, let's go, I'll introduce you to someone."

"Where do I have time now? Haven't you seen how busy I am?" Gavin's eyes were a little red. He hadn't slept for three days and three nights, and he didn't even have the time to be lost in thought for an hour or two.

He vowed that when this happened, he would cultivate a group of outstanding middle and lower-level managers as soon as possible.

For such a large-scale event, without a group of handy subordinates to run errands, once everything is done personally, it can be tiring to death.

If it weren't for the sake of money, he would have quit long ago.

"If you don't come, don't regret it. This lady is not something you can usually see if you want to." Regina said as if if you don't come, don't blame me if you regret it in the future.

Miss? Is it rarely seen?

Gavin grasped the key words keenly.

Even though Lord Ilmet came in person, he never saw her mobilize forces like this.

Since it makes her a little excited, he must be the object of her admiration.

Such people are rare in the valley, and it cannot be one of those people I guessed.

Gavin didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly cast a vitality spell on himself to cheer up his spirit.

Follow Regina and run towards the Vizeme Manor in a hurry.

But halfway through, Regina changed her route and instead of going to the manor, she plunged into the vineyard.

Outside Grape Village, I saw the lady Regina mentioned.

Just the sight of his back made Gavin tremble, and a name popped into his mind uncontrollably. It turned out to be her.

I saw that the man was wearing a silver elf chainmail, a light green elf cloak, long silver hair tied up with a silver headdress hanging down to his waist, carrying a silver long sword on his back, and a small harp statue on his waist. , very similar to Regina's one, but more exquisite, probably with the same magical effect, a more powerful one.

Looking at her well-proportioned figure from a distance, it was only when she got closer that she realized that she was very tall, at least taller than most men. Gavin, who had already grown so much taller, still couldn't look at her at eye level. She was at least 1.85 meters tall and her legs were too long. Tall and well-proportioned, full of endless power.

There are no traces of time on her face. There are no wrinkles at all. She has an extremely standard oval face, showing a healthy wheat color. Her lips are slightly pursed, with a smile from the heart. But when you look at each other, you will find that her The eyes are extremely deep and seem to contain countless stories.

In terms of pure appearance, she is obviously inferior to Regina.

But she has a heroic spirit and appeal that Regina does not have.

Gavin didn't feel any aura from her, and without knowing it, he thought the other person was just an ordinary person who didn't even have a career template opened.

But Gavin knew that, on the contrary, this was a return to nature that could only be achieved by entering a high-level legend. He had reached an extreme level of his own power and could lock all the breath in his body without wasting a single moment.

The opponent was so powerful that it was beyond imagination, one that could be ranked in the top fifty in Faerûn.

Even if you are at the peak of the legendary warrior, you may not be able to go ten rounds in front of him.

Because she is the Storm*Silverhand.

She is many things.

She is the illegitimate daughter and elect of the second-generation magic goddess Mystra, one of the leaders of the Harpers' Alliance, the adopted daughter and sister-in-law of Elminster, the terminator of the tyranny of the valley, the actual ruler of the Valley of Shadows, and one of the seven sisters. one.

Someone living in the world of Toril may have never heard of the Seven Sisters, but he must know this ancient and simple rhyme.

The seven brightest stars in the night sky,

Seven pairs of eyes always stare into my eyes,

Seven brilliant smiles,

Seven pairs of catkins can always solve problems.

"Madam, I brought you the man. He is Gavin Nott, the current owner of this place." Regina, who has always been eloquent, looked very reserved in front of the storm, with unconcealable admiration in her eyes. It's like watching your idol.

In the valley, it is not unusual for Storm to be regarded as an idol, especially among girls. Three or four out of ten idolize her.

At this time, Storm's eyes shifted from the fungus crops on the grapevine to Gavin. He looked at him carefully and said, "You are younger than I expected. You have done very well. In the past month, , all I heard were your stories. You managed this vineyard very well, especially in terms of being able to mobilize the enthusiasm of the elves, which not everyone can do.

If your ghost wine is successful, it will open up a new farming model for the valley. "

Just as Gavin expected, this legendary lady had a standard smoky voice, a little hoarse, and had a natural wild flavor.

It's just the way he speaks, which is far from the legendary boldness and wildness.

As if seeing through the doubt in Gavin's eyes, Storm's face flashed with embarrassment, and he waved his hands vigorously and said, "Forget it, forget it, the tricks taught by the elder sister are not easy to use at all, too awkward."

Then Storm took a pair of long legs, took two steps at a time, and came to Gavin's side, patted Gavin's shoulder vigorously and said, "Young man, you did a good job, I like it very much, we are very optimistic about you.

Regina told me your concerns, you can rest assured, as long as you work hard, whoever dares to cause trouble, I will be the first to cut him."

Storm's power is very strong, comparable to August's, and he patted Gavin's shoulders again and again.

But this kind of bold action and bold way of speaking are in line with the legend.
