Chapter 473: Wealthy

This is his cleverness, he doesn't compete with the other party at all.

No matter how you say it, Parost is still a local, no matter how he behaves in the local area, when he has a conflict with an outsider like himself.

Those natives will instinctively gravitate towards the native Parost.

Even if he beats Parost in the battle, he will still lose his reputation in the end, becoming a strong dragon to suppress the local snakes, and attracting the joint rejection of the local people.

It was just that Gavin tried his best to fight with Parost, but the local carpenter refused to let go and sneered: "Who in the village doesn't know that the treasures of the Lawnsel family are stored in the basement of the Laughing Bandit Hotel? , who knows if you want to rebuild the hotel? Or if you want to take the opportunity to dig out the treasures of the Launsel family? What if you completely anger the crying witch and bring harm to our village? "

Seeing that Gavin refused to argue with him about the free maintenance, Palost could only change the topic to the Laughing Bandit Hotel.

Pointing to the biggest concern of all the villagers, the Raunsel family is the surname of the former hotel owner.

As a result, Gavin had no choice but to talk and solemnly promised: "I don't know if there is any treasure under the hotel. Even if I promise that if the treasure is discovered, I will not take any money and give it all to the villagers. I guess some people will also trust me." question.

In this way, I come up with a compromise solution.

I sent people to renovate the roads in the entire village of Anfel, especially at the Marande intersection, and replace them with hard rock roads.

What do you think, all the income from the hotel will be used to pay for my road construction expenses? "

He has natural capital for civil engineering. As long as they nod and agree, he can let go and dispatch more kobolds.

He had only planned to bring twenty kobolds here, purely because he was afraid of scaring the villagers of Amphail Village and causing them to feel conflicted.

It's one thing to build a hotel for yourself, it's quite another to pave roads and do public works for an entire village.

After hearing Gavin's suggestion, the entire Marande intersection fell silent. Everyone stared at Gavin in surprise with their eyes wide open.

This gesture is a bit too big, right?

No matter how small Amphail Village is, it is still a village, especially a village and town built on business roads. All the roads taken together are not a small number.

Even paving and repairing it is not a small project, let alone turning it directly into a hard stone road, especially a long commercial road, but the standard four-carriage road, Marland Road intersection is also a large square.

Parost's eyes were as wide as an angry bull's, and he was spitting out air. For a while, he couldn't find a point to fight back.

He is also considered a piece of meat in Anfeier Village. He has always had conflicts with people since he was a child. He is a typical type who will bite three points even if he is ignored. Once he gets a little reason, he can be like a mad dog. Hold on tight.

The villagers in Anfeier Village are usually a little afraid of him and are unwilling to get to know him, because if they bite with a mad dog, they will definitely not gain any advantage in the end.

But today he met his opponent. Gavin didn't fight with him at all. In other words, the opponent's move was too high-end. When it reached the high-end, he couldn't parry it at all.

They don't bother you about whether there is a treasure at all, nor do they ask you about the ownership of the treasure. Instead, they directly give Amphiel Village a big treasure that everyone can share, and its value is far greater than the treasure harvested from the hotel.

Even if the Lawensel family resold the Laughing Bandit Inn before it was burned down, and with all their belongings, they would not dare to pat their chests and say that they would renovate the roads in Amphier Village with hard stones. .

All in all, no matter whether the other party can dig out the treasure from under the hotel, it is a losing business, but the loss is big and the loss is small.

Not only could the treasure not be used to attack the other party, but it had become an excellent opportunity for the other party to establish its reputation in Amphel Village.

But the reason why mad dogs are called mad dogs is that they can bite without restraint. Palost is a master here. He turned around and bit him again, "That's nice to say, who knows what will happen after you occupy the hotel." If you turn around and forget about your current promise, then we won’t be able to do anything to you.”

"This is simple. I can create a document for a period of five years. If after five years, I cannot complete the renovation of the roads in Anfeil Village, no matter what shape I renovate the hotel into, it will belong to the collective of Anfeil Village again." All, you can auction it publicly and use the proceeds for the road construction I promised today." Gavin took the opportunity to add a time limit to this matter.

He promised to build a road for Amphier Village, but did not promise to build it immediately.

In five years, there are so many things he can do. By then, he has even found a way to obtain the construction rights of the entire long road from Glory City.

Don't think this is wishful thinking. These days, as long as she's brave enough, she has to take maternity leave.

Half a year ago, no, even three months ago, Gavin would not have dared to think about this matter.

Now, there is still an element of fantasy, at least there is hope.

Parost was silent again, accusing him of having another agenda, which was nothing more than plotting against the hotel. Now that they had squeezed out the hotel, they were already showing their utmost sincerity.

The two sides are not on the same level. Every time Gavin punches, he takes several steps forward and directly kills all possibilities.

In fact, to sum up, Gavin used one trick - rich and powerful.

You attacked me for plotting the treasure of the former innkeeper. Sorry, you see, I am richer than him, I am not short of money.

You attacked me for not fulfilling my promise, well, if I break my promise, I don't want my property here, I will give it to you, rich and willful.

This trick is the most unsolvable.

Pyrost could only turn the muzzle to another direction and said: "How do you ensure that when you overhaul the inn, you will not completely anger the weeping witch? Once she falls into anger, what should we do if she brings disaster to the village?"

This time, before Gavin spoke, many villagers in Anfield Village could no longer stand Pyrost's aggressiveness, and they all stood by to join in, but the object of their support was not Pyrost, a local, but Gavin, an outsider.

"Pyro, I don't like your question. What do you mean by completely angering the Weeping Witch? This ghost has been in our village for a long time. When the Lawnsel family was in charge, it only threatened travelers and never hurt anyone. Why did it anger Mr. Gavin?"

"That's right. You make things difficult for Mr. Gavin. Is it because Mr. Gavin's free repairs have blocked your way to wealth? Are you resentful? If that's the case, you are too narrow-minded."

"You don't even count it yourself. How much benefit has Mr. Gavin brought to our village in just a few days? First, he invited us to taste wine for free, and now he helps us repair things for free. We need to buy war horses in large quantities. This is the pillar industry of our village. How many jobs will this bring? Now he has even promised to pave the way for us for free. Where can we find such a great philanthropist? Do you have to drive him out before you stop?"

"That's right, that's right. I guess the horse breeders in Hongsong Town are waiting with their necks stretched out. If they hear that we drive such a big customer out because of a ruined hotel, they will definitely laugh their teeth off and will definitely give Mr. Gavin a manor or villa."

The rebuttal of these locals can be described as a stick and a stick. They are not only defending Gavin, but also venting all their dissatisfaction with Pyrost on weekdays.

No matter how crazy the mad dog is, facing the attack of a group of people, he doesn't know how to bite.

As the other party involved, Gavin did not add insult to injury, but took the opportunity to smooth things over, saying with a smile: "In fact, Mr. Parrost also has good intentions. After all, the hotel is located in the center of the village. Once there is a problem, it is easy to affect everyone.

I can't make too many promises and guarantees for everyone on this matter.

But everyone can put themselves in his shoes. After I rebuild this hotel, who cares most about the Weeping Witch?

It must be me, right?

Even if it is for personal use, it still needs to be occupied. I will definitely try my best to solve this matter.

If there is a chance to open a hotel and rent it out, why don't I do it? After all, no one will have a grudge against money."

"Mr. Gavin's words make a lot of sense."

"That's true."

"Parrost, look at Mr. Gavin, and then look at yourself. Don't you think you are so narrow-minded?"

The villagers of Anfield Village around him highly recognized Gavin's statement, and at the same time, they also liked him more.

How can a person who repays evil with virtue have bad character?

On the contrary, as a local, Parrost looked so disgusting now, just like a clown.

Seeing that he had become the target of public criticism, Parrost knew that if he continued to stay here, he would only be bored. He said coldly: "I will keep an eye on you."

Then he left the crowd without looking back.

There was a burst of laughter behind him, and even a few naked children followed Parrost, making faces at him and repeating his words just now, "I will keep an eye on you... hehe..."

It was a mixture of playfulness and ridicule.

They were now Gavin's small employees. Some errands were given to them to do, and the rewards were mostly various desserts. This was a treat that could only be enjoyed during festivals. Naturally, their good impression of Gavin was full.

Parrost could only keep a straight face, walk faster, and ignore those mischievous children.

If he really got angry with a group of children in the street, he would really anger everyone. Not to mention that the children's families would not forgive him, the villagers would probably not stand by and watch.

As soon as Pyrost turned around, the owner of the Antler Pot Tavern, Craven, stood up and said, "I can guarantee Gavin in this matter. If there is any problem, my Antler Pot Tavern will be sold together with the money to build a road for our village."

"And my Happy Hall." The petite and delicate mother of Gowther had an aura of eight feet high. She put her hands on her waist and said, "I have seen countless people in my life. Mr. Gavin is the most innocent guy I have ever seen in my life. He came to our Anfield Village this time with full sincerity.

Don't think that I am praising people.

You have known me for a long time, and you should know what kind of person I am. What I am best at doing in my life is scolding people, not praising people.

But today, I must praise them, because this is absolutely fair.

You are not blind. You have lived on the long road for so many years, and you have seen all kinds of merchants. If not ten thousand, then there must be eight thousand.

Who is not the one who can squeeze oil from the cracks of the stone?

Which of them is not thinking of ways to take money out of your hands?

When have you ever seen someone like Mr. Gavin take the initiative to repair your pots and pans for free? Taking the initiative to host a banquet for you?

Have you ever seen someone promise to build a road for you because of a treasure whose existence or non-existence is unknown?

There must be some people still muttering in their hearts, maybe this kid has ulterior motives.

For such a person, I can only say one thing to you: I am trying to please you.

I am so evil-minded that I look at everyone with bad intentions.

Let me tell you, this matter is settled. If there is no objection, tomorrow night, we will go to the Happy Hall and to the Marande intersection to attend the celebration party. Let us celebrate together and welcome Mr. Gavin as our safe haven. Part of Phil Village. "

"Well, we should have done this a long time ago."

"I agree, we will definitely attend the banquet on time tomorrow."

"Mother Gowther is indeed one of the most knowledgeable people in our Amphier Village. It is simply said that it goes deep into people's hearts. It's not that there are not many conscientious businessmen like Mr. Gavin anymore, but there are simply no such people. A few of us, if we use our own malice to speculate on others, don’t we make ourselves look too dirty?”

"Actually, we are no different from Parost, it's just that he said it and we didn't. Compared to Mr. Gavin, our thoughts are indeed too dark."

Both Craven and Mother Gothel have a high reputation in Amphiel Village.

As soon as they came forward to support Gavin, the whole trend turned completely to Gavin's side. Some even began to review themselves, accusing themselves of being too dark in mind and seeing a good person as a bad person.

The public opinion was so thorough that Gai Wen, the person involved, was somewhat embarrassed.

Because I am not as innocent as they say, I do have ulterior motives, but what I am planning is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Even if it's road construction, isn't fame and the large-scale settlement of kobolds all a conspiracy?

But to put it this way, there are really no good people and good deeds in this world that are purely meaningful.

Even those kind gods, aren't they doing everything to gain more faith?

Seeing that no one came forward to object, Gao Se's mother spoke again: "You are afraid that these kobolds will enter your house to repair the hidden dangers. I am not afraid. I happen to have a lot of places that need repairing. Mr. Gavin, please help me." Take the trouble.”

"Okay, madam, leave it to us. Don't worry, I promise to clean up your happy hall, inside and out, like new. If we can't do it today, we will continue tomorrow. You five, follow me. ." How could Gavin not understand the painstaking efforts of Gowther's mother.

This is to further help myself and eliminate the grudges in the hearts of these villagers.

This kind of thing will be much easier to handle once there is someone taking the lead.

Gavin called over the five dragon-blooded kobolds who had complete repair skills.

Due to their spell-like abilities, the number of times they can be used per day is limited, and they have not been used yet, so they are reserved for show at critical moments.

The ones who were tinkering before were actually not them, but Gavin, Anna and Luna, with Anna being the main force.

The repair spell is just a ring-free spell. She already has an extraordinary level, and she can cast it an astonishing number of times a day. A dozen is not a problem. The second-level perfect repair spell can also cast a dozen - those high-level spell slots can be downgraded. It's a bit wasteful to use.

Gavin turned to Anna and said: "You continue to take them, stay here, help the gentlemen and ladies repair them, I will take them over there."

"Okay, sir, leave this to me, don't worry." Anna returned an extremely sweet smile to Gavin.

This job is very suitable for her helpful nature. Not only is it not tedious, but she enjoys it.

Many things around Gavin can be said to be changing with each passing day, but some things have never changed, such as Anna's temperament.

She was still the little white flower that was abducted by Gavin and left home, not stained by stains.

Maybe it's because she's easier to get close to because of her sweet appearance, maybe it's because she's a believer in the God of Passion, or maybe it's because her desire to help others comes from her heart.

Although she had just arrived, her popularity among the villagers seemed to be higher than Gavin's.

Especially after she instinctively prescribed a few medicines for a few people who didn't look too good.

This free repair booth is a bit of a shift towards free medical consultation.

Gavin didn't mind this, as long as he could build a good relationship and achieve his goals.

There is no difference whether it is repairing or seeing a doctor to treat the disease.

As long as Anna doesn't use healing magic on people.

Although the root cause of her disease has been found, the cure has not yet been found. The healing magic is still incomplete, and the side effects are full of lethal effects. It is usually used as an interrogation magic. Those who have tasted it usually will never forget it.

There is no need for Gavin to advise this. Anna herself is quite shy about this matter and knows how to judge the situation carefully.

This child's temperament hasn't changed, it's not that he hasn't grown at all. At least he can see some of the grace he had in his previous life, and he can take charge of many things on his own. This situation now only belongs to small scenes.

After the explanation, Gavin led five dragon-blooded kobolds and followed Gowther's mother towards the Joy Hall.
