Chapter 471 The Weeping Witch

Aurilla didn't need to say anything. Just as Gavin had guessed, she was completely immersed in her own world and had a lot of fun. She laughed out loud from time to time and didn't know what she was thinking of. She was still too drunk, and her snow-white face was filled with emotion. Two blushes appeared.

The one who had changed the most was Delala. Her iron-tower-like body fell to the ground, curled up into a ball, shaking and crying silently.

And Gao Se's mother, who was petite and not even half her height, knelt beside her, hugged her big head, and comforted her in a low voice: "It's passed, it's passed, everything has passed, mom is here, Mother Gothel is here, cry it out, cry it out, just cry it out."

Gao Se's mother's comfort worked, and Delara cried out so loudly that the whole joy hall seemed to be able to hear it. She hugged Gao Se's mother, but she was afraid of being hurt. When he reached her, he held it carefully.

"What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? What's wrong with Delara? Why are you crying so sadly?"

"Dela La, tell sister, who made you cry? Sister, help you teach him a lesson."

"Come on, you, with your small body, can carry two of Delara with one hand and make her cry. How can you beat her?"

"That's not right. When have you ever seen Delala cry? She always beats others to cry. Ever since we were little, she has always protected us."

"Mr. Gavin, what happened? Did you make Delara cry? If it was you, don't blame us for falling out."

The escort girls who had changed their clothes rushed in after hearing the news, many of them carrying various weapons in their hands, showing their bravery to the fullest.

There is a reason why they dare to be travel escort girls. In private, they are likely to have various martial arts, physical training and the like.

"Don't misunderstand Mr. Gavin. Delara just drank the mind-watching cocktail prepared by Mr. and recalled her past experiences. She didn't expect that this knot would always be buried in her heart and hidden so deeply by her. It's fine now. You There is no need to carry it on your own. You have me now and so many sisters to accompany you. There is no obstacle or river that we cannot cross in this world." Gao Se's mother turned to answer the escort girls. He turned back to comfort Delara.

I don’t know if the drunkenness has passed, or if I have just vented it out, or if Gao Se’s mother’s heartfelt charitable motherly love has played a role.

Delara not only calmed down, she actually snored like a thunderous sound, and fell asleep hugging Mother Gaother.

"Mind-viewing cocktail? Is it the one just prepared yesterday? A cocktail that can introspect? Is it really so magical?"

"What's there to question about this? Isn't Delara's situation on display here?"

"Mr. Gavin, can you make us a drink too? We also want to experience the charm of that magical cocktail."

"I want it too! I want it too! I want it too!"

Gowther's mother's words immediately turned the escort girl's attention to Gavin, and with a roar, they all surrounded him.

This small bar cannot hold so many people.

Suddenly, Gavin was surrounded by an army of Yingying and Yanyans on three levels inside and three outside.

Gavin reacted very quickly, jumped back a little, and shrank to the back of the bar. With the most perfect smile on his face, he said: "Sorry, ladies, none of the wine here is mine. I have no right to do this. You guys You can ask Mother Gao Se, I will listen to her arrangements and agree in advance that the remaining ghost wine can be used to make up to ten more Guanxin cocktails. "

Gao Se's mother spoke again: "Stop making trouble, everyone go out. I want to discuss business with Mr. Gavin and want to taste wine. There will be many opportunities in the future."

The tone was not high and the tone was not very harsh, but it contained a mother's undeniability.

The escort girls responded obediently and stepped back one after another.

"Wait, send Delara back to the room and let her have a good sleep." Mother Gaother ordered.

Immediately, several tall and strong escort girls rushed up. They raised their hands and feet. Five or six people worked together to lift Della La, who weighed more than 200 kilograms. Their steps were still very light. , showing great strength.

Delara, who had her heart unlocked, slept extremely soundly, showing no sign of waking up after all the hard work.

Gowther's mother sat at the bar again, looking at Gavin with an unusually soft look. She didn't know whether what he did was approved by her, or whether the mind-gazing cocktail from before was still taking effect.

Wine tasters use wine to observe their minds, while they themselves use wine to observe people.

This bartending technique is really becoming more and more interesting, and it is worth spending some time on your own and continuing to explore.

He wasn't interested in drinking, he was now very interested in watching other people drink, especially the magic cocktails he made himself.

Gao Se's mother sighed faintly: "If you don't get drunk, everyone will get drunk. This is the situation. This mind-conscious cocktail is worthy of its name. I have never drunk such a unique cocktail in my life. Today, sir, it opened my eyes." Well, what do you want to know from me?"

"About the crying witch in the ruins of the hotel next door." Gavin went straight to the point. He believed that the current mother Gowther must know everything and tell her everything. He felt this way.

"If you want to buy that hotel for your own use, that's not impossible, but if you're doing business, I don't recommend you do it. It would be easier to find an open space and build another one." Gao Se's mother immediately understood Gavin's plan.

"We are going to use it for ourselves, and we have our own dragon vein dog-headed construction team, which can perform a large number of repair and complete repairs every day, making repairs more convenient." Gavin revealed a little.

Even without this, he could find more reasons why he had to buy the ruins of the Laughing Bandit Inn.

Mother Gowther nodded without doubt and said, "If this is the case, repair is indeed less labor-intensive than building a new one, but I know very little about the situation of the Weeping Witch, most of which are hearsay and rumors from local residents.

But one thing is certain, she really exists. Sometimes she wanders around the hotel in a silent phantom. It is said that sometimes she sneaks into the rooms of travelers and looks down on those travelers. Some people think that she is absorbing the vitality of the guests for her own use, but in my memory, there was no murder here before it was burned down.

But for most people, waking up from a dream is not easy. , seeing a terrifying ghost face appear in front of him, he probably will never forget it in his life and will never stay in this hotel again.

This situation is not common. Most of the time, she is invisible, but you can hear her faint sobbing, which is the origin of her name.

It is also said that she sometimes transforms into a physical body like you and me, walks into the darkness and strangles her enemies. No locals have ever seen this situation with their own eyes, and it is estimated that those who have seen it are dead.

But in a village the size of a palm, everyone's death is not a trivial matter, and I haven't heard of many deaths directly related to her. "

Gavin then asked: "Is there any Is there a legend about this weeping witch? "

"There is one, but I personally think it is very unreliable."

"Tell me about it."

"Legend has it that the weeping witch was a witch who lived here before the establishment of Anfel Village. She obtained a powerful magic book from the destroyed arcane empire of Netheril. She could use magic to turn docile animals into powerful monsters to fight against various monsters in the wilderness.

Then one day, her fiancé came to visit her, but was accidentally killed by her monster. After discovering that her fiancé was killed, she abandoned her magic and regretted it in pain. The orcs who heard the noise killed her, but her magic book was never found. It was said that it was stolen. She looked down on every traveler, looking for her magic book. "

"It's really unreliable. How could a witch give up the magic she is best at? And lose her magic book? Faced with mistakes, she should be more active in studying magic and looking for a way to resurrect her lover. "This legendary story disappointed Gavin. It can be said that there are many loopholes in it. It is probably the speculation of ordinary people, because they can't imagine how powerful the magic book passed down from Netheril is.

And Gavin's goal on this trip is this weeping witch and her magic book, which contains the knowledge he needs.

He knows her real background and has a certain understanding of her situation, but it is all indirect channels.

Because in the previous life, a man named Thorn Trasaren bought this hotel and discovered this secret. It is estimated that he is still in Tesser, trying to find the secret treasure stolen from the palace.

All Gavin has to do now is to intercept and take the hotel for himself. Now it is almost certain.

"It's just a legend, just listen to it." Mother Gowther smiled and said, "One thing is certain, the Weeping Witch is not a bloodthirsty undead. Everything she does probably has her own purpose, but ordinary people can't understand it. As long as you find out this purpose and help her achieve her wish, you may be able to get rid of her completely. Oh, I forgot to say one thing, ordinary purification methods are useless for this undead. The previous owner of the hotel invited many priests and paladins, some of whom are extraordinary and above. After dispelling it, it will still appear after a few days."

Of course it can't be purified, because the other party is not a real undead, but a living person.

Gavin said in his heart, but he thanked him repeatedly: "In this way, I have a complete bottom line in my heart. I don't know who I need to buy the ownership of this hotel from? Guardian Lord Brise?"

He has roughly observed Anfei Village and did not find a building that can be called an administrative building here.

"Brise doesn't care about this. Do you know what a caretaker lord is? It means that he has the responsibility to guard and protect this place. The taxes of our entire village also need to be paid to him. Apart from that, he does not interfere in any affairs of the village. All are left to the villagers to govern themselves. The long line of protection occupies all his energy." Mother Gowther explained the administrative situation of Anfield Village, which is also the situation of most cities ruling villages.

Those caretaker lords are usually military commanders. They are good at leading troops to fight, but when it comes to governance, it is commonplace.

"So that's how it is. What should I do?"

"Actually, according to your current reputation in Anfield Village, you only need to stand in front of the ruins of the inn and shout to everyone that you are going to rebuild this place, because this is originally ownerless." Mother Gaoser changed the subject and said, "But in order to avoid trouble, I suggest that you bring some wine and go to the grave of the original inn owner to pay tribute, and then hold a banquet at the intersection of Marland Road, inviting the whole village and those famous people to witness this matter. As long as no one strongly objects, this matter will basically be done."

"Thank you ma'am for your advice. I understand what should be done." Gavin bowed and thanked her.

Ginger is still old and hot. This method of Gao Se's mother can not only comfort the dead, but also silence the living. In the future, we will give them a little more small favors. If we can create some employment opportunities for them, then no one will occupy them. The ruins of the hotel are nothing to talk about, so I can use the name of restoration to do a lot of construction work here and excavate what I want.

"After talking about your affairs, is it time to talk about our affairs?" Gao Se's mother took advantage of the opportunity and began to make her own little calculations.

"One hundred bottles of ghost wine is the most I can give you evenly. After the new wine is launched, I can set aside an additional 500 bottles for you, all calculated according to the market price of Glory City." Gavin certainly knows what the other party needs. , directly issued his own bill of goods.

This is the advantage of monopoly. When others use money to buy your own things, when you look back, you still have to remember your kindness.

According to this frequency, before the new wine comes out of the kiln, it will be reserved by myself as a favor.

Once there is a problem with the new wine brewing, you will probably be in big trouble.

No, ghost wine has now become a strategic resource. I will tell Estelle back and ask her to keep an eye on it for a while to make sure nothing goes wrong.

"Where's the bartending?" The smile on Gao Se's mother's beautiful face was so sweet that honey almost flowed out of her eyes.

One hundred bottles of ghost wine, it is estimated that the entire Glory City does not have this number.

This was a resource. With her connections in the Glory City, she could exchange it for a bunch of things that she couldn't usually buy with money.

Not to mention the five hundred bottles of ghost wine that will follow.

The young man in front of me is a huge gold mine.

"If you want to taste wine yourself, you can do it as long as I have free time. But if you want to entertain guests, you can have up to three drinks a day. The premise is to help me collect these personal information." Gavin thought for a while and added, “It doesn’t add up.”

Watching people drink is fun, but only occasionally. Once it becomes a job, it gets boring easily and you don't have that much time.

"Things are rare and valuable." Gao Se's mother took it for granted, "If you can drink it every day, even the rarest things will become boiled water. Leave this matter to me. Give that old fool to Craven, and I guarantee that you will take the opportunity to get in touch with more important people and gain more connections. "

yes!

How could I have forgotten this?

What a great opportunity to build connections?

The reason why I don't want to set foot in Waterdeep City now is simply because my foundation is unstable and I can't control it. I will be eaten by those capital predators, skin and bones. It doesn't mean that I don't want to set foot there in my life.

It’s just that he didn’t have a chance before. The person in front of him, the guy in the Antler Pot Tavern, including the entire Amphier Village, anyone who has anything to do with the Glory City can become his connections in the Glory City, especially Ke. Raven and Mother Gothel have already established a basic good relationship with each other. All that's left is to follow the rope and turn their connections into our own.

And bartending is an excellent opportunity to express yourself.

After thinking about it, Gavin immediately changed his words: "Under normal circumstances, I will not mix more than three drinks for outsiders. Even if the hotel opens, I will not mix drinks there without permission. Everything is left to the lady." If there are special needs, there is no room for negotiation, but I suggest that this kind of precedent should not be opened. "

"Okay, okay, okay." Gao Se's mother said incessantly, "Since you gave me this great gift, I can't go without anything in return. How about this, you set a time, and I will sell this old face to Ann. All the famous people in Phil Village are invited to bear witness to you and make you the new owner of this hotel.”

Gavin was immediately overjoyed. People like Gao Se's mother were the best at dancing. It was estimated that there was no one in the whole Amphier village whom she didn't know, and there were probably only a few people she had made enemies of. It was up to her to step forward in this matter. Things became a bit simpler. All that was left was preparation. I asked cautiously, "Is it okay today?"

"Today? How is that possible?" Gowther's mother glared at Gavin angrily and said, "Why are you so impatient? Even if I have contacted everyone for you, what about the dinner? What about going to the tomb of the original owner of the tavern to pay homage? Arrangement? You can’t invite the living first and then sacrifice the dead, right? It’s only three days at the earliest, and this is when I ask the girls to leave everything behind.”

"Then please, madam, prepare as quickly as possible. All expenses will be considered mine." Gavin smiled sheepishly, feeling that he was a little too impatient.

I just arrived at Anfeier Village last night, and I wanted to capture the target today. I didn't even dare to think about it before I came here. Three days was far beyond my plan.

"Do you think we will be short of such a small amount of money? We will be neighbors in the future, and there are many ways to help each other. Even if it is a meeting gift from me to you." Gao Se's mother said very grandly, "When the time comes, you will just Just need people to be there.”

"Then it's Ms. Lao." Gavin did not continue to refuse, because what he had to do might not be accomplished in one go. I'm afraid there would be many more places for the two parties to interact in the future.

Taking down the hotel is just the beginning. How to find the magic book of the crying witch is the key.

If this magic book was so easy to find, why would I have waited until now? Will you wait until you come?

Gavin had reason to suspect that the magic war three years ago was very likely closely related to this magic book and the weeping witch.

If this was true, it meant that he was not the only one who was thinking about this magic book.

In the past, the inn was a ruin, so it was fine if no one moved it. Once someone moved it, it would be easy to become a target.

After discussing some details with Mother Gowther, he left the Happy Hall and walked around Anfield Village with Aurora, understanding the situation here. At the same time, after silently noting down a few points of interest, Gavin said goodbye to Aurora and returned to the room of the Antler Pot Tavern. He activated the teleportation of the Tower of Domination, returned to Misnoel, and began to deploy troops.

He is now a man with a family and a career. How could he conquer the world completely with his hands and feet?

Previously, he ran to Anfield Village alone and on a horse, just to investigate the situation and to be the vanguard.

First, he asked Veronica to take him back to Vizeme Manor and filled most of the portable dimensional cave with ghost wine. This thing would probably occupy a place in the portable dimensional cave in the future, and it would be his diplomatic weapon.
