Chapter 478: Hiring a Girl Escort

This is not Earth. Many creatures are deeply in tune with nature, gods, laws, etc. Many things are integrated into their bones and souls. Trying to change this nature will only be counterproductive.

Why should the dog-headed people change this nature that is very beneficial to them?

Is it for the so-called fairness and freedom?

This is a typical case of imposing one's subjective ideas on others.

Only by following the trend can you achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, no matter how his power expands in the future, he is ready to divide the dog-headed people.

It's not that there is no reward and punishment system at all, but this reward and punishment system is not ordinary wealth, but rewards related to dragons, such as being responsible for delivering food to a dragon, such as guarding a dragon's nest.

In the eyes of humans, this is just a hard job.

But in the eyes of dog-headed people, this is the supreme honor and the ladder to become stronger - this is not just talk, but a real situation.

The blood of the kobolds is too easily affected by the dragons. Even if they just live in a place with dragons for a long time, it is easy to stimulate the blood to mutate, and it has a direct impact on the strength of the dragons themselves.

The more powerful the dragon is, the more kobolds it affects at one time, the greater the possibility of the kobolds' blood awakening, and the less time it takes to stimulate the kobolds' blood awakening.

This is why the kobold tribes serving the powerful dragons are more powerful.

The kobolds should not be called kobolds, but dog-legs. They are born to follow and serve the dragons.

After listening to Gavin's explanation, Gowther's mother nodded involuntarily and said, "There is really no better place for quarry workers who don't need to be paid and don't need extra soldiers to protect them. You said that, and I'm a little moved."

For many quarries, the aboriginal monsters in the mountains and hills where they are located are also a headache.

Large-scale cleaning is an unrealistic method. The only way is to send soldiers for protection, which will naturally increase the cost of mining.

Mother Gowther sighed. It was not uncommon to recruit monster races for their own use, but not everyone could do it. At least, she had no idea how to do it.

After sorting out the information in this regard, Mother Gowther answered one by one: "For mining, there is a suitable area near Anfei Village. Going east for more than ten kilometers is the Nanling of Shiqiao Hill. There used to be a good quarry here, but it was abandoned many years ago. It is said that there are deformed monsters here. Speaking of which, this matter has a certain origin with my Happy Hall."

"Tell me about it." Gavin showed an interested look.

Just like those ghost castles and ghost manors, this kind of abandoned property, also known as the Lost Land, can be said to be numerous in Faerun.

It is also one of the important incomes of mercenaries. They are either hired to recover such areas, or they take the initiative to recover them and then sell them to interested buyers.

There is another type, called pioneer knights.

Their status is between noble lords and adventurers, but they do not have inherited land property, so they can only go to non-human land to open up.

Some places recognize this kind of knight, especially the city-state alliance, because it is a great way for them to expand their territory.

Some places do not recognize it. These places are usually feudal states or slave states, such as Calimshan and Tethyr, because in the eyes of those rulers and nobles, even if it is a wilderness, it is their land. Even if it is developed by their own strength, they either swear allegiance to him, pay taxes and tributes, or get out, everything is theirs.

Except for Cormyr and Sembia, other areas in the North recognize this kind of knight, even Anfir Village, which is only 140 to 50 kilometers away from Waterdeep.

Mother Gowther recalled for a moment and said, "My Joy Hall used to be the country villa of the Ksent family. Its last owner, Baron Delrosz, became very strange after he got old. He completely abandoned the upper-class life in Waterdeep and moved here. In pursuit of immortality, he indulged in necromancy experiments.

In addition, he also conducted human body transformation experiments, which were said to be all against human common sense, adding extra limbs to the body, installing eyes behind the head, or other redundant organs.

But one night, Baron Delrosz mysteriously disappeared in his villa, and his The test subject took the opportunity to escape from here and fled to the Stone Bridge Hills. It is said that he settled down in the abandoned stone factory and still lives there.

Later, his villa fell into the hands of an adventure group called the Five Swords, who used it as their headquarters, but this situation did not last long. After only a quarter, they disappeared in the villa like Baron Delros, leaving only the hungry mount. "

"You won't tell me that this villa was bought by you and transformed into the current Happy Hall, right?" Gavin said with a slightly changed expression.

"That's right." Mother Gowther nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

"One mysterious disappearance can be explained by chance, but twice is not. It is very likely to happen a third or fourth time. Aren't you afraid that the same thing will happen to you?" Gavin couldn't help asking.

"Didn't you know that this hotel was haunted by ghosts, but you still chose to take it? Aren't you worried that something bad would happen to you?" Gowther's mother asked back without answering.

Gavin was stunned and suddenly realized: "So, before you bought this villa, you had already investigated the reason for their secret disappearance? Or had you solved the matter? So, I was worried in vain. "

"Even so, thank you for your concern." Gao Se's mother had a smile that couldn't be concealed on her face. After all, the other party's reaction was a sign of concern for them.

"Do you know the number of experimental subjects that escaped from here? Are there any research materials left by the old noble?" Gavin did not inquire in depth about the original cause of the disappearance in the Happy Hall.

Because this may involve the secret of Gao Se's mother. If the other party was willing to tell it, he would have told it long ago and would not wait until he asked.

"No." Gao Se's mother shook her head and said, "Before it came into my hands, it had passed through several hands. Things that originally belonged to the old nobles had been destroyed long ago. Even a large part of the information I have is According to hearsay, if someone hadn’t seen a similar deformed monster over at Stone Bridge Hills, this legend might not be true.”

"It seems I can only find out by myself." Gavin then asked, "What is the distribution of kobolds? They are also in Stone Bridge Hills."

"There are indeed kobold dens in the Stone Bridge Hills, but the number is relatively small. The largest group of kobolds is over there in the Sword Mountains. They have an owner, a fast roc, who has been harassing the war horses here all year round... "

"So it's it. We've already dealt with it. On the first day in Amphail Village, if I hadn't understood its special ability to twist and hijack magic, I would have killed it." Gavin said. It's not bragging to show off, but it is true that he has this strength, but for safety reasons, he was unwilling to take unnecessary risks and did not try some more dangerous methods rashly.

For example, the Immortal Revenge field was not opened at that time, and the other two designated enemies were not tried again.

No spell ability is unsolvable, especially this kind of restricted and domain spells, which ultimately involve consciousness and spell confrontation. The stronger the ability to control magic and laws, the higher the professional level, and the greater the possibility of victory. If you are big, you can let your own suppress the other's.

"If you are really capable of knocking it down, it will be easier to negotiate the horse deal with the racecourse owners. In order to eliminate this scourge, they jointly offered a sky-high reward. The total reward has exceeded 100,000." If it were changed. If anyone of the same age said this in front of Gao Se's mother, she would think that the other person was bragging, but the person in front of her was definitely stating the facts, "To you, a simple bounty has relatively limited value. , but if you are used as a bargaining chip in the transaction, you can further lower the price when they quote, and the final value created will be far more than 100,000. "

He does not mean that.

Gavin suddenly showed a look of excitement and said: "You're still missing out. As long as I kill it, I can also find a way to collect its kobolds. It can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stone. I'll give it to those horse farms when I have time." I sent a letter to the masters to let them know about this, and me taking the initiative and them begging me to take action are completely different concepts. "

"You can't come forward for this kind of thing yourself, but you need someone to play the drums next to you." Gao Se's mother typically watched the excitement and didn't take it too seriously. She said with a smile, "How about this, you just prepare to slay the dragon, and the rest Let me do it, what do you think?”

"This..." Gavin said a little embarrassed, "There are already too many places to trouble Madam."

"This kind of thing is not really troublesome. It's just talk. That's what I'm best at. If you ask me to help you slay the dragon, don't even think about it." Mother Gao Se said with an expectant expression. He stared at Gavin and said, "I really want to see how capable you are and what kind of changes you can bring to this small village that has remained unchanged for more than ten years."

"I will definitely live up to the lady's expectations." Gavin promised with his head held high.

He still has this confidence, or he has never been here. Once he comes, he will definitely leave an indelible mark of his own on this village. Everything has just begun.

"If there is nothing else, I will leave first. You two will go to the Happy Hall after breakfast tomorrow morning." Gao Se's mother waved her hand, indicating to Gavin and the others that they did not need to send him away, and walked directly through the alley and returned. Your own joy hall.

Gavin arranged for Anna to lead the kobold builders to continue the preliminary jigsaw puzzle. After all, the number of spells cast per day was limited, and it would not take long for all of them to be cast. They could not wait idle for the number of spells to be restored.

Spell repair and manual repair, the two methods are mixed and interleaved, and the efficiency is faster. Especially after the builders of other races are in place one after another, the speed of manual repair is also considerable.

After arranging the corresponding matters, Gavin followed Gowther's mother to the Happy Hall. By this time, most of the escort girls had already gotten up to have breakfast and lunch, chatting in twos and threes.

Seeing Gavin come in, they couldn't help but say hello to him one after another. Although there were still many people ogling him, they were far less enthusiastic than on the first day. At least there were no more perverted behaviors similar to exhibitionism. After this short period of time, After getting along with each other day by day, they knew that the mind and means of the young man in front of them far exceeded his appearance. Simply seducing him was of no use to him. They just thought he was here to see Gao Se's mother.

As soon as she saw Gavin, the tall Delara immediately greeted him enthusiastically: "Mr. Gavin, you are indeed a rare bartending genius. It is really unimaginable that you only learned bartending for a few days. You can make such a unique mind-viewing cocktail and actually help me recover part of my lost memory. I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, just ask."

Recover lost memories?

Does Guanxin Cocktail have this unique effect?

Even the person involved, Gai Wen, was a little confused, but he remained calm on the surface: "You don't need to thank me for this. What I planted for you is just a seed of emotion. It depends on you to see what kind of flowers it will bloom and what kind of fruit it will bear. I It is estimated that recovering the lost memory is entirely due to you opening the knot in your heart and being able to bear the pain that was originally unbearable. It is not my fault. "

This kind of thing is inherently ambiguous, no matter how you say it, it is correct.

"Anyway, thanks to the mind-gazing cocktail, sir." Delara insisted on her opinion and attributed the credit to the unique cocktail, "I will help you call Mother Gaother out right now."

"I'm not here to see Ms. Gowther." Gavin said with a smile, "I'm here to hire an escort girl, the kind who needs to go out on horseback."

"Are you here to hire an escort girl?" Delara repeated Gavin's words, but her voice was a bit high-pitched, and it spread throughout most of the joy hall in an instant.

These words were like poking a hornet's nest. Those escort girls who were still a little lazy and idle suddenly became energetic. With a buzz, they all gathered around. Many of them were just like the first time they met Gao Se's mother. Same, jump directly from the second or third floor.

Although she is not as nimble and graceful as Gowther's mother, she still shows good skills. She is by no means a weak ordinary person. Many of them are bards or thieves who have opened professional levels. Those who have several levels. kind.

Therefore, from the beginning, Gavin did not dare to treat them as ordinary escort girls.

In fact, the situation at the Antler Pot Tavern was similar. The six waitresses were all thieves with several professional levels, and the flying knives they used were not very accurate.

"Mr. Gavin, hire me, hire me. My singing and dancing will be the best in the Happy Hall."

"Since it's an outing, it must involve riding a horse. My riding skills are very good. I can follow wherever your husband wants to go."

"Choose me, Mr. Gavin chooses me, and I can provide services to you for free."

Those escort girls chirped in their self-recommendations. Although many of them were professionals, their growth environment made them different from ordinary professionals. They did not have the pride of being superior to ordinary people at all. They even appeared to be humbler than ordinary people. .

People's mentality is often not affected by their professional level, but by their living environment.

They were not completely uninterested in Gavin, on the contrary, they were more interested. They were just thinking about a more suitable opportunity to get close to him. Unexpectedly, he actually showed up at their door. Naturally, they were unwilling to let go of this kind of money-grabbing son-in-law. good opportunity.

This chaotic scene made Gavin couldn't help but wonder if he had made a wrong choice, but if he wanted to use these escort girls in the future, he had to take this step today.

Gavin didn't care to distinguish carefully. Before more escort girls came up, he directly dragged the one closest to him and ran away: "It's her."

"I didn't expect Mr. Gavin to have such a taste. Hey, it seems that I will have no chance in the future."

"Yes, yes, people should not be judged by their appearance. Mr. Gavin usually seems such an innocent person, why do you like this one?"

"Hehe... In this case, my chances are better. I just came out late, otherwise Mr. Gavin would definitely choose me instead of Loren."

"Actually, it's not that there's no chance at all. As long as Mr. Gavin likes it, I can go to the Glory City and spend money to hire those mages to cast a shrinking spell on my body. By then, I will no longer be an ordinary halfling. It's a half-elf, halfling, ha... I'm so smart, why didn't I think of that before!"

"Shameless, you are shamelessly lying. Halflings are a unique race. Even if you use magic effects to produce similar effects, you are still a shrunken half-elf or a shrunken human, not the original halfling."

"Hahaha... I guess you are the only one who cares about this kind of thing. As long as you are beautiful enough, do you think those men will care about authenticity? By then, the real will become fake, and the fake will become real , just like her breasts..."

"Shameless..."

Looking at the escort girl Gavin selected, most of the escort girls couldn't help but sigh.

It was a halfling whose height was only half that of a normal person. Although the halfling escort girl named Loren was not bad at all in appearance, the difference in body shape was there. There was a model difference between the two parties.

In particular, Gavin was considered tall and strong among humans, while the escort girl was petite among halflings, and the disparity was even greater.

But some people have unique tastes and always like something unexpected.
