Chapter 474 People need to save themselves

After she was far away from the crowd, Gowther's mother gave Gavin a thumbs up and said: "The way you dealt with Palost is simply amazing. There was no chance for me or that old guy Craven to interfere.

If I had known that you still had this skill, there would be no need for any party, just a formality in front of Launsel's grave. "

Obviously, Gowther's mother and Craven's father had arrived at the scene early. They originally thought that after Gavin had a conflict with the locals, they would come forward to smooth things over.

Who would have thought that Gavin is not old, but he is a veteran, and his skills are superb, even above them.

At least Gowther's mother thinks that she would not necessarily do better than Gavin if she were put in another position.

If anything, Gowther's mother chose to help Gavin at first, purely out of profit.

So now, she began to feel a genuine affection for him.

She somewhat understood the reason why that old guy Craven accepted Gavin as his disciple less than half a day after they had known each other.

This young man's way of doing things is not like that of people his age.

Rather than saying that Gavin took advantage of Craven, it would be more appropriate to say that Craven picked up a treasure for no reason.

This old guy usually looks dim-eyed, but at this time, his eyes are more vicious than anyone else's.

If Craven knew what Gowther's mother was thinking, he would probably smile bitterly in return.

What a vicious look, he just saw Gavin's extraordinary learning speed, and his head felt hot.

And this is how wonderful misunderstandings often arise.

"No conflict, no conflict." Gavin said with a smile, "Emotions are never too deep. What I do is not selfless as the lady said. I have selfish motives. You also know that, I started as a kobold.

The most numerous subordinates are the kobolds. They are naturally good at digging holes and like to work with rocks. In this area, they have a unique advantage.

To rebuild the hotel, I still have to count on them.

Before they even entered the village, they were beaten out by the villagers with sticks. If they were given a small favor, the villagers would accept them.

For me, it's a very profitable deal. "

For a person like Mother Gothel, who has been through countless trials and tribulations in all levels of human society, it is best not to play tricks and tell the truth, which will make it easier to like.

Sure enough, not only was Gao Se's mother not annoyed by Gavin's explanation, the smile on her face became happier, and her eyes when she looked at Gavin became softer, "You are already extraordinary in terms of human nature and sophistication.

In this world, most people are just looking for petty gains in front of them.

Giving them small favors is enough.

If it is too much, they will hold a grudge against you, thinking that you are so rich but give them so little, and your greed will never be satisfied. "

Some of the principles of life are similar. Although there is no allusion in Faerun about friendship and enmity, there are similar principles.

This is not the bad root of human nature, but the bad root of intelligent creatures.

"I understand, please don't worry, madam, I will take care of it." Gavin expressed his thanks, "Madam, do you have anything that needs to be repaired here? Let's get started."

"You really want to help me repair the Happy Hall?" Gowther's mother was a little stunned. She was just playing a supporting role for Gavin.

"Of course." Gavin said matter-of-factly, "Compared to putting on a show, how can real work be more worry-free and more reassuring? Don't worry, they are all professionals and have rich experience in this aspect. , they can not only perform complete repair techniques, but they are also good at some non-professional work.”

The kobolds that can be mobilized by Gavin are definitely the elites among the elites in the entire territory. They do not rely solely on spell-like abilities. They usually have professional levels, mainly warlocks, although their levels are not very high. But the ability choices are diversified, and there are naturally many things that can be done.

This situation is not an isolated case, but the path that all dragon veins and dragon-blooded kobolds in the entire Dragon Oak Territory will eventually take.

Spell-like abilities are just an introduction. What they have to do in the end is to activate their professional level.

Compared with ordinary kobolds, they still have more advantages.

First, with the activation of spell-like abilities, they stand out from their peers and receive key training.

Second, with the continuous use of spell-like abilities, as long as they have an impact, they can generate substantial and effective experience for them, which will help them quickly improve their professional levels.

When Gao Se's mother thought that this was indeed the case, she said to Delara who came out to greet them: "Take them around to see if there is anything we need to repair here, take the opportunity to clean it up."

Delara responded and waved the five dragon-blooded kobolds away.

"I also brought the ghost wine, where should I put it?" Gavin took the opportunity to fulfill his previous promise.

"Just take it with me. Those girls are all coveted for the beautifying effects of this wine. If it is placed in the wine cellar, they will destroy it all in a few days, especially Delara."

Even though Gao Se's mother is not the real mother of these escort girls, she is better than her and has already eaten through them.

"Okay." Gavin readily took out the portable dimension hole.

Mother Gothel also took out her own.

Neither of them was surprised that the other party had this kind of magic equipment.

Although this thing is rare, it is not impossible to get, especially when they show strong energy.

If there is no similar space equipment, it will be easy for people to look down on it.

The capacity of Gowther's mother's portable dimension hole is not small, at least a hundred bottles of ghost wine can be loaded into it without any trouble.

After the transaction was completed, Gowther's mother asked with a smile, "Now in the Glory City, the ghost wine is three hundred and two bottles, a total of thirty-two thousand. How are you going to collect the bill?"

"Don't worry about this, deposit it with Madam first. Next, there are still a lot of things that need to be troubled Madam. When the time comes, I won't say, it will be recorded in your name." In Gavin's case, thirty-two thousand has become An absolute penny.

Compared with this amount of cash, Mother Gowther's name is more useful in Amphier Village, and can accomplish things far exceeding thirty-two thousand gold coins.

Gao Se's mother was so shrewd. She immediately understood and said with a smile: "If you need help, just ask."

"There is really something urgent." Gavin said bluntly, "I need your lady's help to introduce you to a more reliable local food merchant. Next, the number of kobolds I transferred may be a bit large, and we need a stable source of food. ”

"It's simple." Mother Gaother replied without thinking. "Amphel Village is not only the horse breeding ground of Glory City, but also their main food pocket, especially the vegetable supply, which accounts for at least half of Glory City. , and half of this is in the hands of the Amakel family.

This family's business is relatively fair, and they are very familiar with me. As long as they have money, it is easy to obtain sufficient food supplies.

But before you have hundreds of kobolds, there is no need for this. You only need to spread the word to the outside world, and the villagers of Amphel Village will deliver food to their doorsteps on their own.

It’s just that compared to buying in bulk, this method is a little more troublesome, but it has a side benefit. Not only is the price relatively affordable, but it will also deepen your friendship with the villagers.

After all, you are doing something that will bring them tangible benefits. "

"Understood, then we will follow the second method mentioned by the lady." Gavin quickly made his choice, "I will arrange for someone to handle this matter."

This matter is quite simple. Their kobolds must be equipped with a special team of cooks who specialize in this area of ​​affairs. It's just that this time it's a bit special, adding a buyer.

It is not appropriate to use a kobold as this person, and it does not have to be one of your own. You can hire a local resident from Amphel Village.

No, no, the thinking is wrong.

The kobold cook team doesn’t need to be matched this time.

Instead, they recruit people directly from the local area to form a team of human cooks.

Since the reconstruction of the hotel involves confidentiality, he will definitely not use people from Amphail Village, but will transfer people from his own territory.

Those in Amphier Village may not be willing to do it, after all, there are ghosts here.

But for those peripheral jobs, people from Amphail Village can be hired.

Not only does it save the time of transferring people from thousands of miles away, but most importantly, it creates job opportunities for local people and creates a tighter tie.

The more opportunities they have to make money from themselves, the less repulsive they feel about themselves.

And in some matters, local people do have more advantages than their own people.

Gavin's style of doing things that always considers Amphile Village has won him widespread praise, and his integration speed is naturally very fast.

For some important positions, such as food purchasing, which are relatively lucrative positions, he will naturally not hire random Amphail villagers whom he does not know, but will start with those he is familiar with.

For example, the waitresses at the Antler Pot Tavern are very happy to do this part-time job.

Craven is also very easy to talk to. As long as it doesn't delay the affairs of the tavern, he will turn a blind eye. Anyway, the tavern's business has never been very stable, so there is no need for him to stop these girls from making extra money.

Even the escort girls in Happy Hall are also very good candidates for employment.

With more and more contacts, Gavin discovered that these escort girls of Gowther's mother were not the kind of vases with nothing but beauty.

Many of them are versatile. This versatility does not refer to singing and dancing, but to business methods such as writing and accounting. It is estimated that they were prepared for traveling as escorts on trade routes.

When the time comes, she will serve as more than just a tool for entertaining people.

As the saying goes, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

The more you prepare, the more opportunities you have.

This is the situation of these escort girls.

What Gavin lacks the most is really people like this.

If they could let go of their current life of indulging in paper money, Gavin would be able to provide them with a lot of jobs.

With the expansion of his footsteps, he is no longer simply satisfied with being a raw material supplier, but has begun to get involved in the business field, and may consider taking it all.

Gavin, who had completely straightened out his thoughts, directly took the opportunity to discuss the matter with Gao Se's mother and said: "Madam, although I have not been in contact with you for a long time, the feeling your Happy Hall and your girls give me, Very different from most joy halls.

Since the lady is determined to arrange a better home for them, why do they have to stay in the Happy Hall? "

When we talked about this topic, a trace of bitterness on Gao Se's mother's face disappeared in a flash, and she said with a smile: "Young man, you are a typical example of standing and talking without bothering your back. If I had your ability to expand territories, I would Let these girls get stuck in the quagmire and not get out?

Entertaining people with my appearance is the only thing I'm good at. If they follow me, they can only make ends meet through this.

What? Are you going to support them?

If you really have this kindness, I will close the Happy Hall tomorrow. "

Hearing this, Gavin's face darkened. This is not a question of whether he can afford to support them, but a question of nature.

If he dares to nod, the label of lust will follow him for life. Right now, the way those escort girls look at him, they want to eat him alive, and then they will squeeze him dry.

"Haha..." Gowther's mother laughed loudly, "Look how scared you are, I'm kidding you, when I rescued them from those demons, I promised them that what kind of path they will take in the future will be left to them to choose, whether it is bitter or sweet, they will have to taste it themselves.

If you have the heart, give them a chance, a chance to live a normal life.

As for whether to seize this opportunity, it depends on their own choice.

People can't rely on others to save them every time, the most important thing is to save themselves.

This Happy Hall will continue to operate before the last girl leaves. "

"Understood. "Gavin heard the hidden meaning of Gowther's mother.

These escort girls are free to come and go with her.

As long as he can get their consent, he can hire them at will.

If they are still obsessed with the life of money and luxury, she will stay here with them until one day they are tired.

From beginning to end, she only considered these girls and never mentioned herself. Although she was in the Hall of Joy, the word "mother" was definitely not derogatory to her.

Gavin agreed with Gowther's mother's view that people should save themselves.

How many people are in trouble in the world?

How can he save them by his own strength? This is something that even the gods cannot do.

The only thing he can do is to provide them with a chance to save themselves. Whether they can get ashore depends on them. Myself.

Isn't it the same for me?

After Gavin's trouble, most of the things have been solved.

The dinner has become dispensable, just a formality.

But since it is going to be done, of course it must be done to the best.

It seems that the whole village of Anfield is revolving around him.

Not only all the members of Mother Gowther's Happy Hall are dispatched, but also the waitresses of the Antler Pot Tavern are involved, and the six female wizards of the Roinhern family will come to help when they are free.

There is strength in numbers, and the whole thing went very smoothly.

During this period, Gavin also traded 100 bottles of ghost wine to the Antler Pot Tavern.

Whether for advertising purposes or to help Gavin, Craven and Mother Gowther not only did not keep the transaction secret, but directly announced the transaction to the public.

In this way, Gavin's identity There is no doubt that no one can take out so much ghost wine at one time except the owner of Vizeme Manor.

The horse farm owners no longer doubt Gavin's financial resources. The market price of ghost wine in the City of Glory has reached 320 bottles. Just these 200 bottles of ghost wine have earned him 65,000 gold coins.

In the market of the City of Glory, a light driving horse is only 100 gold coins, a heavy driving horse is about 250 gold coins, a light war horse is only 200 gold coins, and a heavy war horse is 500 gold coins.

Anfei Village is the place of origin, and the other party is buying in bulk, so the price will definitely fluctuate around this price. It would be good if it can be sold at 70% or 80%.

In other words, one bottle of wine can replace several of their horses.

Not to mention, they are not just selling wine, but also mixing drinks, a unique magic French cocktail.

This is even more ruthless. One cup is equivalent to a light warhorse. You can't drink it just because you want to. You have to make an appointment in advance.

Even so, the appointment list has been arranged for ten days later.

After drinking it, I didn't feel cheated. I kept praising the value for money. If it weren't for the rules, I would have ordered ten or eight more cups.

As for the reason for not wanting to mix more, it's not because I don't have time.

But this kind of cocktail uses emotions as a guide and wine as a medium to achieve the purpose of emotional release. It is a great burden on the bartender and will also have an impact on the emotions of the drinkers. It is not suitable to mix too much or drink too much.

Anyway, it's mysterious.

It gives people a feeling that the item is very rare. There is a reason why we sell it at such a high price.

As for the memorial service for the original tavern owner, Gavin followed the local customs and let Gowther's mother arrange it completely.

Anyway, the momentum was quite big, and everyone in Anfel Village, from top to bottom, knew about it. The process was not complicated, and there was no kowtow or nine bows. There was no such thing in Faerun. He just bowed three times and then expressed his intention to inherit and rebuild the inn, and that was it.

Even in Faerun, where there are real undead, this kind of thing is not done for them to see, but for the living to see, to tell them how much he respects the original owner and has obtained his permission.

As for whether the original tavern owner agrees or not, whether he will turn into a ghost and make trouble for Gavin, it is a minor matter. The worst case is to send them back, or directly send them to the gods to reincarnate.

The dinner party was also held smoothly as scheduled.

Before the sun set, the intersection of Marand was already crowded with people. Mother Gowther's Happy Hall and the Antler Pot Tavern were crowded inside and out.

Like the residents of other places in Faerun, the residents of Anfel Village also lack entertainment activities.

Banquet parties are one of the rare occasions where everyone can attend.

They took this opportunity to celebrate the dinner party as a festival, and everything else was relatively unimportant.

When Gowther's mother and her escort girls danced on the open-air stage on the third floor of the Happy Hall, the atmosphere of the entire dinner party reached a climax.

The lead dancer was the middle-aged Gowther's mother, who danced gracefully, with a charming and soft figure and colorful expressions.

Sometimes she was as holy as a nun angel, and sometimes she was as charming as a succubus.

The role transition was extremely smooth, and both men and women, young and old, were delighted.
