Chapter 475: Showing ghost movies to ghosts

Mother Gowther, who is very secretive, rarely performs like Craven. Even if she does, it is only for the nobles and wealthy people of the City of Glory who have spent a lot of money. This kind of public performance is the first time in Anfield Village.

Many villagers don't know that she can dance, and she is so good at it.

The only flaw is the faint sobbing and crying coming from the ruins of the hotel behind the Hall of Joy.

The villagers of Anfield Village are not surprised and ignore it directly, and no one comes here to investigate the reason.

But tonight, someone broke this convention. This person is naturally none other than Gavin.

For him, it is not difficult to get out of the banquet.

In name, he is the protagonist, but when he knows everyone he should know, he basically has nothing to do.

Especially after Mother Gowther danced with the escort girl, no one cared about him.

He came alone to explore the ruins of the haunted hotel at night.

It's not that he is so brave and thinks he has enough strength to face all the changes, but because he knows the truth behind the Weeping Witch.

The Weeping Witch is not a real undead, but someone is pretending to be a ghost.

Gavin has verified this repeatedly in the past few days.

The ruins of the hotel are desolate, but there is no trace of negative energy left, let alone the breath of death.

Because he has the immortal divinity in his hand, Gavin is very sensitive to this.

Undead spirits rely on negative energy to exist. Without negative energy, how can there be undead?

The Weeping Witch is named Felansini. She is not a witch but a powerful wizard. She was cursed and bound to another plane by powerful magic.

She can only use her power and her connection with the magic book to project back to Faerun at special times.

It is said that the magic book in her hand originated from the Netheril Empire and the greatest archmage Iorum.

It was the great arcanist Iorum who invented the Miser Energy Core, built the first floating city, and researched the Iorum longevity technique.

He also excavated the psychic knowledge of the Zamdas Empire, integrated it with the arcane, and created a new advanced profession, the arcanist.

Gavin didn't know how true or false the legend was, because in his previous life, he didn't get this magic book, let alone directly contact the Weeping Witch.

The only thing that was 100% certain was that this magic book contained the advanced knowledge he needed.

This was relatively easy to get.

If he couldn't get it done here, or the intelligence was wrong, he still had a backup plan - that was to find Iorum's last disciple, Ms. Tabora, who was in the Bagwit Inn not far from here.

That was a legendary arcanist who had a longer life than an ordinary dragon.

It was easy to find her, but how to explain how he found her and convince her to teach him the knowledge he needed was the biggest problem.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Gavin does not want to get close to a legendary spellcaster, especially a bottomless legendary arcanist. If he is not careful, he will be stripped of his pants.

In comparison, he prefers to take control of the situation.

The Laughing Bandit Inn is the most standard square hotel layout.

There is only one door in the middle. After entering, there is a corridor running through the north and south, dividing the entire building into two. The rooms on both sides of the corridor are symmetrically distributed, and the layout and size are basically the same.

There are at least 20 rooms on each floor, and there are four floors in total.

This is enough to accommodate a small army.

The stone part is 60% to 70% relatively intact, and most of the places can be fixed with complete repair.

The parts of other materials are basically worthless.

The flammable ones are almost burned.

Most of the non-flammable ones are also melted and twisted, and the only value is to be re-melted.

Most of the places here are kept in the state after the fire was extinguished.

This shows that in the next three years, the people of Anfei Village basically did not visit here, and they were obviously full of fear of this place.

Since Gavin entered the hotel, the sound of a crying woman has been around him, either on the left or right, in front or behind, far or near, erratic.

But in Gavin's eyes, the other party's scary method is a joke.

Don't forget that Gavin is now equipped with the sub-artifact insight gem and has opened the Eye of Truth.

Whether it is the shadow plane, the fairy plane, the ether plane, the upper or lower plane, all the related invisibility abilities are ineffective against him.

He found the source of the sound at a glance. It was a mist that was vague, not even a phantom, flashing from time to time. Every time it changed its position, the position of the sound would change.

Gavin did not feel negative energy on it, so the shadow plane was ruled out.

The fairy plane is also closely related to him, and the natural breath related to it must be strong, so it is also ruled out.

The biggest possibility left is the ether plane.

If the Feywild and Shadow Plane are the material echoes of the Main Plane, then the Ether Plane is the spiritual echo.

Although it has material components, it is affected by the mind and spirit, so it is also called the Spirit World.

Therefore, different people and even different regions have huge differences in their understanding of the Ether Plane.

Some call it a holy land of faith because it is inhabited by the spirits they worship. This kind of country is represented by Leatherman.

Some regard this place as the birthplace of terror, and people here never mention it. This situation usually occurs in small places with little information, or places that are secretly manipulated and ruled by interested people.

Some people regard it as a convenient place to travel, because there are ethereal curtains leading to the material plane, shadow plane, fey wilderness, and inner planes (earth, air, fire, water), passing through They then reach another plane. Those who do this are usually the spell casters, the more powerful spell casters. At least Gavin will not do this until he has an extraordinary level.

In fact, the etheric curtain is no stranger to the cover. The curtain in the rocky ground that connects to the Spring Bud Forest in the Fairy Wilderness is the standard etheric curtain, which is only temporarily fixed.

In the Land of Three Rivers, on the Fairy Midsummer Night, the temporary curtain leading to the Mother Dragon Oak Tree is also an etheric curtain, which fully demonstrates the plasticity of the etheric plane - the Land of Three Rivers and the Fairy Wilderness sing a song together, and both sides There was a resonance, and they used their own ideas to jointly shape this temporary curtain.

Due to the spiritual plasticity of ether, it is easy to get entangled with those spiritually powerful creatures, especially spirits. Many spirit creatures have the ability to enter and exit the ether plane and hide in the ether for hunting.

This is determined by the special relationship between ether and the material plane.

The material plane can be seen at the etheric border, but the line of sight is relatively narrow and can only be seen about ten meters. Any deeper and it becomes fog, but the etheric plane cannot be seen from the material plane.

This is the third type of invisibility besides goblin invisibility and shadow invisibility.

Compared with the first two types, this kind of invisibility is more common. All professional abilities, without special explanation, refer to this kind of invisibility.

Because he believes that you cannot see him. When this belief is extremely firm, it will receive a response from the etheric plane, allowing it to integrate into the etheric border and naturally disappear without a trace in the material plane.

Because of this characteristic, many people confuse the Shadow Plane with the Ethereal Plane.

The etheric plane is divided into the etheric frontier, the deep etheric and the special etheric world.

The etheric border is easy to understand. It is a place that overlaps with other planes. You can see other planes in the ether, but you cannot attack or touch them. You can pass directly through them because the dimensions of both sides still exist. A thin line.

The deep ether is purely inside the ether. Under normal circumstances, it is shrouded in all kinds of rolling mists. There are curtains of various colors everywhere, leading to different planes. Many powerful spellcasters will come here to find their way to other places. Plane method.

As for the special etheric world, also called etheric space, it was shaped by a powerful being or a group of people, and it has characteristics that are different from other places, ranging in size.

The small one has only one house and is surrounded by fog.

The larger one may be an isolated island or city in the fog.

It may even be a country and have its own civilization, which would fall under the category of ether civilization.

What Gavin was facing now was a mist of ether, presenting a blurry image of a woman with disheveled hair.

Her strength was very limited, and she did not even have the ability to cross the etheric border and enter the material plane. Only the monotonous sound of crying came through.

The unknown is the scariest thing.

Once the essence is seen through, its terrifying level will be greatly reduced.

Not to mention, Gavin himself was afraid of its lack. He said to this etheric mist: "It's just a trick, it's good for scaring ordinary people. Don't waste your efforts to deal with me. Let me open your eyes." See what the art of scary is.”

After finishing speaking, Gavin found an open place to stand, took out a phantom crystal ball, filled it with energy points, and threw it out.

As the negative energy surged, a phantom curtain appeared out of thin air, and a phantom image began to play.

The phantom playing inside is none other than Regina's latest horror short film.

The main content of the short film is to use sound to create a scary atmosphere and scare people to death.

This is an original story, filmed by a professional opera bard and then edited.

The performance level of the actors in it is absolutely online, more real than real.

The sound of horror is Regina's specialty, and the atmosphere is absolutely perfect.

Compared with the obvious fluctuation of yin and yang, the sound of fear is played by eighteen kinds of instruments.

The Crying Witch simply scares people with her cries, which is so hollow and boring.

The phantom horror short film only played for a few minutes before the crying sound completely disappeared.

But Gavin could see clearly that the foggy shadow did not disappear, but stayed a few meters away from the phantom, which showed that the other party was watching the phantom played by Gavin.

Gavin is the only one who can show ghost movies to ghosts.

After the phantom horror short film was shown, Gavin put away the phantom spirit crystal ball and said to the shadow of the fog: "Now you know, this kind of pediatric intimidation method is ineffective against me. Why don't we try another one?" The method is to sit down and have a chat. If you have any difficulties, you can just say it and I can find a way to help you solve it. Scaring people away is not the solution.

Even if you scare me away, it won't take long for others to come. After all, this is a village and it is on a commercial thoroughfare. "

The shadow of the mist actually reacted, floating directly in front of Gavin, and kept opening its mouth, as if it wanted to say something.

But in Gavin's ears, it turned into a cry with different accents.

Seeing this situation, Gavin couldn't help but make a bold guess.

Perhaps the Weeping Witch was not crying from the beginning to the end, but wanted to communicate with others, but was restricted.

The sound she made became an outright cry in the ears of others.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct.

Gavin hurriedly asked: "What exactly do you want to say? I don't understand. When it reaches me, it all turns into crying. Can you hear me? If you can, we can communicate in another way.

I can see you, so you can write."

The crying stopped on the spot, and the shadow of the mist suddenly changed. One by one, beautiful small characters composed of mist appeared in front of the shadow of the mist.

These small characters look like magic runes, strange and unique.

If Gavin hadn't been equipped with the insight gem, he would have had to spend some effort.

This kind of text is the text of the arcane empire Netheril.

"Leave here, leave here forever, this is not where you should come from. This is a cursed land, there are dangers you don't know, and ignorant exploration will cost you your life. Leave here, warn others not to let them get close to here."

A series of warnings and threats, with only one purpose, that is, to get Gavin to leave this place.

Gavin asked directly: "Are you Felixini?"

This question directly caused all the small words in the mist to collapse, and then the next second, new small words in the mist condensed and emerged at a faster speed.

"Who are you? Who told you this name? What do you want to do here?"

Gavin's mouth curled up, and he couldn't help but smile.

Although the other party did not directly answer his question, her reaction gave an indirect answer.

This group of mist shadow is the cursed witch Felixini. Her current form is probably due to the curse she suffered.

Gavin gave a positive answer to her question: "My name is Gavin, Gavin*Nott, I am the new owner of this hotel. Next, I will lead people to renovate the hotel and reopen this place. I came here to inform you."

"I disagree. I will not allow anyone to touch this land. There are dangers here that you don't know. Leaving here and keeping it as it is now is a good thing for everyone."

Even in words, you can feel the intensity and excitement in the owner's words.

"Don't use such ambiguous rhetoric to fool me. It's useless to me. Come up with something substantial and useful, such as where the danger comes from? If I judge it to be true, I will naturally stop the action. Otherwise, I can only think that you are playing tricks and deliberately intimidating others. I don't want them to get close to here, close to the secrets you hide here." Gavin's counterattack went straight to the core of the problem.

The secret hidden by the other party is probably nothing else but her magic book.

In other words, the magic book he needs is likely to be hidden in the ruins of this hotel.

As for whether the magic book was burned by the fire at the time, Gavin had no worries about it at all.

Magic books are not ordinary books, they are usually protected by magic.

Not to mention that a magic book inherited from the Netheril period must have more magical powers.

"Leave here, or you will die..." Leaving an unfinished line of words, the misty shadow completely disappeared.

Those misty small words were transformed by consuming the mist in its body, which had just been completely consumed.

This shows how weak this crying witch is.

Gavin sighed helplessly. He did get in touch with the other party, but it was almost the same as not getting in touch. He didn't get any useful information from the other party at all.

Well, I was wrong.

There are still two useful pieces of information.

For example, it is confirmed that the other party's identity is Felanxini, the owner of his target this time.

For another example, it is basically confirmed that his target does exist in this hotel.

This is also a big gain, after all, this is just the first contact.

Of course, the other party did not dissipate and die. The misty shadow just now was not the other party's body, but a remote consciousness projection or something like that.

As long as the other party accumulates some strength, they will definitely be able to create new ones.

Next, we will do both. If we have the opportunity to continue to contact the Weeping Witch, we will continue to contact her.

The hotel will be renovated. While the hotel is being repaired, we will turn it upside down.

As long as the magic book is found, the remaining problems will be solved.

Gavin is a typical action-oriented person. When the entire Anfei Village was still asleep, they had already started to act.

"We follow the order of easy first and difficult later, down first and up later. We will start with those well-preserved parts that support the foundation. Don't move the rocks easily. Keep them in their original positions. Wait until we have almost finished the first pass, then go back and slowly repair them."

This is not the first time that Gavin and his team have done repair work, but it is the first time to repair such a large-scale building with serious damage.

But it is not difficult for them. After a simple discussion, they set a basic repair plan.

First, strengthen its foundation to prevent it from collapsing is the top priority.

The kobolds are professional in this matter.

Most kobolds can tell at a glance whether a cave or stone building is in danger of large-scale landslides and determine where the core load-bearing columns are. This is their innate survival instinct, just like birds can determine at a glance whether they can fly through a gap in the distance.
