Chapter 472: Benefits without Costs

Then it was time to teleport people.

Those dragon vein and dragon blood kobolds with repair skills and complete repair skills were the first choice. They searched several territories and gathered them together.

Gavin himself was shocked. He had hundreds of such kobolds under his command, most of whom had repair skills, accounting for 90%.

The Laughing Bandit Inn was in serious ruins. The use of repair skills was relatively small, and teleportation skills had to be saved. It was impossible to send so many kobolds over.

Gavin streamlined and only brought ten kobolds with complete repair skills and ten kobolds with repair skills, plus the young priest Anna.

She has grown rapidly under the command of Dalaoma Zalanda in recent times.

Although there were no major wars on the Dalaoma side, some small-scale conflicts continued, especially when actively seeking war, there were still many monster tribes in the wild for them to wipe out. After several wars, under the elite grace of the Way of War, Anna and Nicole directly completed a rapid transformation and entered the ranks of the extraordinary.

Of course, compared to those who grew up step by step, they are absolutely quick-made products, which is vividly demonstrated in Luna.

Except for the special abilities given to them by their professional level and the basic spells inherited from the magic network, they have nothing else.

Anna is somewhat better, after all, she grew up in the church from childhood to adulthood, received extremely orthodox pastor education, and has a certain foundation.

Nicole and Luna are half-way monks, and their basic knowledge is seriously lacking. This cannot be quick-made, and they must accumulate and learn bit by bit.

This quick-made is not without any benefits. At least the spell slots that can be used, the professional level enhancement, the professional expertise and a series of other things have been improved, some basic spells can also be used, and learning basic knowledge will be much easier.

This situation is like learning elementary school knowledge at the age of eight or nine and waiting to learn at the age of eighteen or nineteen. The difficulty is different, because many things of oneself are improved when the professional level is improved.

It is precisely because of this that Gavin further stimulated the pace of pursuing professional level.

Another important construction race is the woad tree people, whose woodbending technique is very useful when rebuilding the hotel.

Even magic is not omnipotent.

The complete repair technique can only restore those ordinary materials and scarred items to their original state, but it cannot repair those magical items, such as wands, staffs, canes, etc. This is often said that magic cannot repair magic, because magic will conflict with each other in this process.

In addition, the complete repair technique is also powerless against those completely twisted, burned, dissociated, crushed, melted, vaporized, decayed, etc. items, and cannot be used to repair living things, such as constructs.

If there is really something, a complete repair technique can be pressed and it can be restored to its original state, and there will be no loss in this world.

Of course, this refers to the complete repair technique performed by ordinary priests or spell-like abilities. If it is performed by gods, even if it is an incarnation, it is another concept.

Then again, the gods can use their own power to create new items, and there is no need to use the divine power repair technique at all. The previous behavior of the Lady of Strategy in Dalaoma is a clear proof. After she left, she left at least 300 excellent heavy war horses and a full set of knight heavy armor, as well as quasi-superb knight seedlings there. Afterwards, those summoned warriors were recruited by Zalanda and prepared to focus on training. I believe that it will not be long before she will have a real elite under her command.

The repair and complete repair techniques will mainly target the stone parts of the main body of the hotel. Most of them are damaged, cracked, and collapsed, but not completely destroyed.

The wooden part will be reprocessed.

However, Gavin underestimated the stubbornness of the woad tree people. It is okay to let them protect Misnoel, but 99% of them will not be happy to leave their beloved forest and become senior carpenters in human villages.

Even the more open-minded Blue Crown and Green Crown did not cooperate much in this matter.

Gavin had to persuade and persuade, present facts and make all kinds of compromises before he managed to gather five woad tree people. Whether they can stay there remains to be observed.

In desperation, Gavin could only ask the Pixie druids to make up the numbers. In comparison, they were easier to talk to, especially the three Pixie druids who were exchanged for dragon-transformed aircraft carrier bugs. Now he has used them very smoothly and directly transferred them from Vizeme Manor to Anfeier Village. Their dragon-transformed aircraft carrier bugs are also a powerful fighting force, ready for emergency use.

As for the natural heavy crane tree people and enlightenment trees, Gavin did not transfer them from the territory, but prepared to solve them on the spot in Anfeier Village.

Gavin has deployed the personnel here, and the three-day period he agreed with Mother Gowther has also arrived.

During these three days, he did not stay in the territory completely, but mainly in Anfeier Village.

He did not wait until Veronica gathered all the unconventional subordinates to make a shocking and shining appearance.

There is not much meaning in doing that, except to satisfy one's own vanity. Especially for the Kobolds, they are a monster race with a bad reputation among humans. Under normal circumstances, they will be beaten to death as soon as they appear in the village. Especially when the whole group appears together, it will cause great chaos. Gavin knows this very well.

So after the first batch of dog-headed men were in place, Gavin and Anna set up a free stall in front of the obsidian horse sculpture Great Shalan at the intersection of Marand Road - a free repair stall.

"Come and see, everyone, there are dog-headed men at the intersection of Marand Road, dragon-veined dog-headed men, who will repair pots and pans, scissors, kitchen knives, tables and chairs for free."

"Mr. Gavin*Nott, the big wine merchant in the valley, brought his dragon-veined dog-headed men to do free repairs for everyone in order to benefit the villagers of Anfield Village. If you have something that needs to be repaired, hurry up. The number of repairs that can be made every day is limited, first come first served, so hurry up."

"Don't miss it if you've been there or passed by. This is a rare magic repair scene. Everyone, come and see it."

Gavin only used dozens of apples to hire the best errand runners and trumpets in Anfield Village - those snotty, bare-butt kids.

It took only a few minutes to spread the message he wanted to convey throughout the streets and alleys of Anfield Village.

Most people didn't really believe what these little brats said.

But the entire Anfield Village was only this big. When their attention was drawn to the Malande intersection, many people could directly see the situation over there. When they saw that the three layers inside and outside were full of people, many people couldn't help but move their feet to come and see what was going on. When they saw the situation inside, they couldn't move their eyes away and followed a group of people to exclaim.

Great Sharan.

The always colorful obsidian horse statue has been completely renewed, including its castrated male symbol. As it raised its hooves and neighed, it was displayed to everyone in such a dignified manner, as if it had never been lost, just as it was when it was carved.

Under the obsidian horse statue, there was a group of people sitting.

The one in the middle was Mr. Gavin * Nott, the biggest celebrity in Anfield Village these days. Even those naked kids could recite his series of names by heart, so there was no need to say more.

On his right sat a very tall woman with long and straight thighs, taller than most people even when sitting, with three hair colors and strange horse ears. She was Luna, Mr. Gavin's companion and mount, and was said to be a druid.

On his left sat a cute girl with a round face and two eyes that curved like crescents when she smiled, making people feel friendly at first sight, just like the girl next door.

Then on their left and right, there were four dog-headed men each. These eight dog-headed men seemed a little different from the legend. They were a little too tall and strong. When they stood up, they could be as tall as those half-grown children. Clear muscle contours could be seen under their smooth scales. Shouldn't dog-headed men be the size of puppies and only bark?

They also looked very peaceful. Their every move was not like a monster in the wilderness, but like a polite human who had received special education.

No, many humans could not do it to their level. They must have received professional training.

This feeling is very strange, just like a monkey sitting or lying, more serious than a human.

But it is undeniable that at least the fear and rejection are not as strong as those towards other monster races.

Especially after seeing what they are doing now.

As the magic light flashed in their hands, the worn-out small items immediately became brand new, just like freshly baked.

Every time an item was repaired, the people around couldn't help but let out an "oh", and several people couldn't help but show surprise on their faces.

In Anfei Village, the use of magic is not too rare. After all, it is backed by the largest city in the entire continent. Although it is a rural area, it is not completely a remote place. Apart from anything else, Gavin encountered groups of female wizards on the first day he came.

This is not unique to the Roinhern family. Other families have their own aerial mage patrols. It's just that the horse farm in the direction Gavin came from belongs to the Roinhern family, so he ran into the six sisters. If he came to Anfield from other directions, he would run into people from other families and other horse farms.

At the entrance of Gowther's mother's Happy Hall, there is a colorful magic neon sign hanging. At night, it will light up, not only emitting colorful colors, but also a phantom of a beautiful escort girl of the same proportion as an ordinary person will appear at the door, posing there, inviting people around to enter the Happy Hall.

This is the latest magic technology from the City of Glory, which was purchased by Gowther's mother at a high price. It caused a huge sensation in Anfield Village at that time. At night, it was surrounded by people, and it looked like half the night.

But after a few years, the villagers have already gotten used to it and usually don't even take a second look. When the merchants who pass by and see this magic device for the first time stop and exclaim, they often can't help but curl their lips and curse the bumpkin in their hearts.

The magic breeding methods in the process of taming war horses are different in each horse farm, and each has its own trump card.

But the use of magic to repair daily necessities like the one in front of us is definitely rare.

Ordinary people don't know how to do it, and those spellcasters don't have time to do such trivial things.

Even if you pay to hire them, many arrogant spellcasters will think it is an insult to them.

In short, magic is used very well in Faerun, especially in the daily life of ordinary people.

I had been dealing with various fey beings with innate spell-casting abilities before, so suddenly returning to a human village was a particularly serious feeling.

And this is Gavin's opportunity. Neither he nor Anna nor Luna shy away from this. In their eyes, magic is just a tool. How to apply it and who to use it on, they don't care. Those dragon veins Not to mention the kobolds, they have no concept of this at all.

It is human nature to be curious and greedy for petty gains.

You can squeeze out shoes for a few discounted products.

Not to mention this kind of free magic repair, turning waste into treasure.

After living for a long time, who doesn’t have a broken pot, bowl, ladle, and pot? It would be a pity to throw them away, but it would be somewhat useless to keep them at home.

At first they were wary of the strange appearance of those dragon-veined kobolds, but when they saw their neighbors arriving with a pile of rags and leaving with a pile of brand-new tools, they could no longer hold back. , ran home like flying, looking for anything that needed to be repaired. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, just take the opportunity to repair it first. If you missed it, there would be no such shop in this village.

I saw a villager carrying the house door that had been cracked open several cracks and carrying it over.

Gavin stood up in a hurry and said loudly: "We only focus on repairing small parts here. If you have doors, beams, furniture, etc. at home that are inconvenient to move, go to the Antler Pot Tavern and register with the waitress. We will come to your door for free." Don’t worry about maintenance. We will continue this kind of benefit activity for a long time. We have more kobold maintenance personnel on the way to ensure that everyone can enjoy the benefits.”

There is no free lunch in the world.

When there is a free lunch to eat, it often means that the other party has ulterior motives.

Gavin is naturally no exception, but what he seeks is not material things, but the habits and acceptance of these villagers.

Let these kobold construction workers integrate into the life of Amphiel Village without any trouble.

"Free door-to-door repairs? Haha... Do you really dare to let a group of monsters of unknown origin come to your home to do repairs? Aren't you afraid that at night, they will walk into your door? Slit their necks, and then kill them Is there really such a thing as free money in the world? Why should it be our village’s turn?”

A sinister voice came from the crowd.

This caused many villagers in Amphail Village who were originally interested to stop in their tracks.

yes!

They were so blinded by the free maintenance that they forgot about it.

What if they tampered with their own things during the repair process? Especially for this kind of magic maintenance, even if they tamper with it, it will be done without anyone noticing, and they will not be able to notice it at all.

Especially when it comes to the repair of houses, beds, doors and windows, etc., this involves your own wealth and life.

Nothing can withstand scrutiny, especially things involving the monster race, which will magnify doubts infinitely.

Following the sound, a middle-aged man's face flashed among the crowd.

But Gavin, who has an extraordinary memory, instantly recalled his name and identity.

Parost Galazar.

He is the owner of Galassar Carpentry Shop and a professional carpenter in Amphier Village. His main business is to repair beds and sell furniture. He also recycles dilapidated carriages and then disassembles the accessories and sells them to people on the long road. Business travel, especially the latter, is his main business, and he is an out-and-out second-hand car dealer.

His free maintenance business undoubtedly touched the interests of the other party, not only taking away a lot of business that originally belonged to him, but also killing many potential customers.

Anyone else would not feel comfortable.

Gavin, who wanted to understand what was going on, did not confront him tit for tat, but said loudly: "It doesn't matter if you don't trust us, the days are long, we can do it bit by bit, there is one thing you should know, I am going to talk to Anfei We need to have a foothold here, and I am going to rebuild the Laughing Bandit Hotel.

Although this hotel has become an ownerless property, it is still part of the village. If it were to be owned for free, I would not be able to overcome this hurdle in my heart, so I launched this free maintenance activity to give back to the villagers in the entire village.

We will continue this kind of activity. If you need anything in the future, please go directly to the Laughing Bandit Hotel reconstruction site.

But we can’t do too much every day. We will repair one large item and three or five small items at most for the villagers. After all, we still have to rebuild the hotel. "

No one dares to eat a free lunch.

Then make it valuable, but the villagers don't need to pay for this kind of money themselves, it is a pile of ownerless ruins.

To this end, Gavin also temporarily formulated a follow-up free maintenance plan, giving these villagers a complete repair spell and three or five repair spells every day, using the kobold's spell-like ability to do this at no cost.

This kind of continuous small favor will make the villagers continue to have a good impression of them.

"Let me just say, there is no such thing as a good thing in the sky. It turns out that this is the root cause. It's no wonder."

"I have heard about this matter a long time ago. Mother Gowther has been helping to arrange this matter since yesterday. She has visited several stores and said that she is going to host a banquet for the entire village tomorrow night at the intersection of Marand."

"With the help of magic, it will be much easier to rebuild the Laughing Bandit Inn."

"Mr. Gavin, we have no objection to you rebuilding the Laughing Bandit Inn, but we can't cheat you. There are some things we must tell you in advance. This Laughing Bandit Inn has been idle until now, and no one has touched it. It's not without reason. It's because there are ghosts here. A ghost named Weeping Witch often appears here."

"Speaking of Come on, we haven't seen her for a long time. If we rebuild the Laughing Bandit Inn, will it stimulate her and make her appear more frequently to harass everyone? "

"Shouldn't be? She usually stays in the inn and rarely comes to the village."

"We don't need to worry about this matter. Since Gowther's mother is helping, it means that she has already told Mr. Gavin about this matter. The other party must not care. After all, he is so rich. Is there anything that can't be solved with money?"

"Money is useful for dealing with people, but will it also be useful for dealing with ghosts?"

Gavin successfully shifted the attention of the villagers from the kobolds to the Laughing Bandit Inn.
