Chapter 491 Afterglow

But this is what Gavin lacks, especially since he has practical experience. Under the guidance of a teacher with extraordinary knowledge, he can master the knowledge so quickly that even Filancini is a little surprised.

Filancini obtained a lot of information from Gavin. She was concerned about many things, but Gavin could tell that she was particularly concerned about the movements of the red-robed mages.

Gavin is so shrewd. Based on this alone, he can guess a lot of things. The caster who cast the curse on her is most likely a red-robed mage.

She was afraid that she would be frightened by the red-robed mage's vicious reputation, so she avoided talking about him.

Most people are really easily frightened by the name Red Robe Mage. After all, they are the largest mage organization in Faerûn. They have a mage empire, Ser, and they have a ferocious reputation.

It's just that Gavin is not an ordinary person. Not only will he provoke these red-robed bald men, but it won't take long. This winter, there may be an indirect conflict between the two sides.

When the time comes, Gavin will most likely act like a fox.

But that doesn't stop him from taking this opportunity to collect more information about the red-robed mage, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

As long as they are in the same camp, the relationship between the two parties will be further enhanced.

Looking at Filancini's increasingly blurry figure, Gavin knew that it was already daylight outside the hotel and her time was coming. If he wanted to see her again, he would have to wait until next month.

After Gavin stood up, he bowed solemnly to Filancini and said: "Madam, please allow me to call you teacher. I have learned a lot from you in the past five days. It is you who truly taught me I have introduced the path of the Arcanist Master, and I will inevitably learn more knowledge from you in the future.”

Filancini groaned and said: "You respect me as a teacher, I can afford it, but in this matter, only God knows what the earth knows, you know what I know, and you must never mention it to anyone when you go out." And my name, I have many enemies outside that you cannot afford to offend."

"After these few days of contact, does the teacher think that I am the kind of person who likes to show off? Making a fortune in silence is the way to go. I will never cause trouble for myself, let alone the teacher." Gavin revealed He gave me a smile that made you feel at ease while I was doing the work, "Teacher, take these things with you. If you get bored, you can use them to kill some time."

"Is it the scary phantom you played for me when we first met?" Filancini recognized the origin of these spiritual crystal balls at a glance.

"The teacher still remembers this matter." Gavin smiled awkwardly, "I didn't understand the teacher's situation at the time, so I was a bit wanton."

Filancini rolled her eyes at Gavin angrily and said, "It's hard to forget, but you can think of it. Play a scary phantom to the ghost. Are you going to piss the ghost to death? Or let her learn new scary skills?"

"Haha..." Gavin laughed awkwardly, "These are not scary phantoms, but phantoms with plots. One of them is the pioneer of the uncut version of my territory, with sound and light effects, plot and story. It’s all available. If you feel lonely, it’s the best way to relieve your emotions. ”

Solitude with entertainment and recreation and solitude without entertainment are two completely different concepts.

This is most vividly demonstrated in modern humans on earth.

As long as they are given a mobile phone with Internet access or a computer with an Internet cable, they can stay at home forever. If the Internet is disconnected and various games are uninstalled, they will go crazy in less than three days.

"Oh?" Filancini said with great interest, "When did such an interesting thing appear in Faerun?"

Gavin said lightly: "This kind of thing is our first. It is still in small-scale trial production. What the teacher has is an internal version. It will take two months for the deleted official version to be released on a large scale."

"Then I'm welcome." Filancini directly took the small bag containing the spiritual crystal ball.

"And these five drinks are cocktails I made using the pleasant atmosphere of these five days. They are called After Yun. If you feel down, you can drink one. It will make you re-experience today's happy mood and change your mood. ." Gavin took out another wine box with a wooden bottom and a transparent crystal glass lid.

There were five large cocktails inside, all of different colors, but the smell they exuded was the same, with a faint air of joy. Just looking at them made people feel better.

This is a new product that gains special abilities and allows you to drink with friends.

For any special ability, its own description is only the most basic thing, not the whole story. If you want to fully utilize its ability, you have to dig out it yourself.

The same is true for using wine to make friends. According to its description, each person can only use it once. This refers to the insidious ability that directly increases the favorability level and the situation of falling into an emotional illusion. It does not mean that it cannot be used on the same person again. The ability to mix drinks.

Just like its name, meeting friends with wine is not a one-sided matter. Your own feelings are also mixed in. You can convey your sincere feelings through wine.

He was sincerely grateful to Filancini. After all, the other party's help to him was real. Although most of his new powerful abilities were his own accumulation, without the other party's guidance or detonation, It will probably take a while - and he has ghost wine and self-hypnosis, which can control, catalyze, and amplify his emotions to a certain extent.

It is really appropriate to use it when meeting friends over wine. One point of gratitude will also turn into three points. It is not impossible to turn into ten points. That would be too false. Three points is neither more nor less, just right.

The Aftertaste cocktail was prepared by Gavin after he sent Filancini away every day, using his ability. One cup a day, no more, no less.

Filancini took the wine box. It was obviously not heavy, but it felt like it was worth a thousand pieces of gold. She sighed and said, "You are always thinking about me, but I haven't been able to do anything for you."

"Teacher, please don't say that. Compared to the knowledge you imparted to me, these little things are nothing." Gavin has basically understood Filancini's character in the past few days.

She is purer than most of the legendary professionals he knows. She is a bit more of a theoretical researcher. She has a lot of theoretical knowledge in her mind, but most of it has not been put into practice. She is not driven crazy by loneliness. People who kill at will are definitely kind in nature. Such people remember affection the most. If you treat her well, she will often respond with ten points. If you treat her wholeheartedly, she will often respond wholeheartedly.

"Then I'll accept it." Filancini just looked at Gavin deeply and said nothing more.

Gavin said to her increasingly faint figure: "Teacher, you just need to remember that from now on, although you are lonely, your heart is no longer. I am here waiting for you to come back."

Before he finished speaking, Filancini's figure completely disappeared. It was unclear whether she heard those words, and it was even less clear what kind of reaction she would have.

Gavin won't think too much. Anyway, he has done all the things he can do. The rest will be left to time to ferment. When he is once again lonely and isolated, but his own shadow is everywhere, he can't think about it. It is difficult to sow deeply.

After taking one last look at the basement where he had been staying for five days, Gavin closed the stone door and hid it again. He originally wanted to cast a sealing magic on it, but then he thought, isn't there three hundred taels of silver in this place?

Places that no one pays attention to can easily attract unnecessary attention.

He pushed the door open again and walked back, took out five standard boxes of gold coins and stuffed them under the luxurious bed.

Then he closed the door completely and left.

With these 50,000 gold coins, it is enough to divert the attention of most thieves and stop them from messing around here.

More powerful beings either don't focus on this place. Once they do, they won't be stopped by their own magic, nor will they be dazzled by these gold coins. When the time comes, it depends on whether Filancini's own arrangement can handle it. live.

The chance of this is very small. After all, this place had been idle for three years before I moved in. If you want to come here, you have come early, and you will not wait until you occupy it.

Gavin only needs to consider not letting his enemies target this place.

As soon as Gavin came up from the basement, he was blocked by the owners of the racecourse in Amphail Village.

Master Ambala, the steward of the Loyinhern family, smiled and said: "Sir, you are really a busy man. It is not easy to meet you. Regarding the war horse, we are basically ready, but I heard that Mr. Gavin is a A dragon slayer with powerful shooting weapons, Miss Luna has the ability to fly super fast after transforming into a Pegasus..."

Gavin didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and asked directly: "You want me to help you get rid of Ji Peng, please give me a price!"

Since his main purpose in Amphail Village has been achieved, he is no longer as interested as he was at the beginning, playing a game of penny-pink with these racecourse owners. He just wants to complete the transaction faster and move forward with other things. schedule.

"Gavin is indeed a cheerful person." Master Anbala said with a smile, "Then we won't hide it. After our joint discussion, the secret bidding matter mentioned by Mr. Gavin is harmful to our Anfel." Regarding the relationship between the owners of the village racecourse, what we are doing is not a one-time deal, and my husband is such a big foodie, enough to eat up the entire supply of goods in Amphail Village. I think we should not engage in these fake things, but directly Sign a long-term sales and purchase agreement with Mr. Amphair Village Racecourse Association.”

These racecourse owners in Amphail Village also came here from the battlefield-like shopping mall.

It's not that easy to be led around, especially after the initial excitement.

With the help of the principals of the two largest racecourses, they decided to join forces and cooperate with Gavin as a community, preparing to make money together and take risks together.

Gavin nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, looking like I was listening.

Master Ambala continued: "We are willing to sell our war horses to the lord at the market price of the City of Glory!"

Gavin's brows jumped involuntarily when he heard the price.

This price is a bit outrageous, and I am simply taking myself as a fool.

Whether he comes to buy it or picks up the war horse himself, the price is the same as that of Glory City, why is he bothering? Just go to the Horse Market in Waterdeep and get as many as you want.

They wouldn't see that they have made so much investment here and want to join forces to deceive themselves, right?

They are all old businessmen and should not do such stupid things.

Thinking of this, Gavin did not jump immediately, but looked at Master Ambala intently, as if waiting for his next step.

Master Ambala secretly praised in his heart, this young man is indeed not an ordinary person, at least his psychological quality is not comparable to ordinary people, and then said: "And we are willing to accept Mr. Gavin's offer at the current market price of Glory City. Ghost wine is used as a payment method. The payment period can be postponed until your new batch of ghost wine comes out of the kiln. Mr. War Horse will pick it up himself, while we will go to your territory to pick up the ghost wine. I don’t know your intention for this transaction. how?"

After listening to the entire transaction, Gavin fully understood what these racecourse owners were planning.

This is because he has spotted his ghost wine, which has huge room for appreciation, and wants to get involved.

If they simply compete with those wine merchants, they will definitely not have any advantage.

However, you can reserve a large number of war horses at the current selling price, and the war horses are also priced at a relatively high price.

Once successful, the profits will be absolutely huge. They will be able to eat both sides, the profit from the war horse and the premium from the ghost wine.

"Do you know how much risk you will take by doing this?" Gavin asked.

He thought he was bold enough, but compared with the racecourse owners in Amphail Village, he seemed too conservative.

Even on Earth, in a society with a high degree of security and relatively sound credit, large transactions involving millions of dollars must be treated with caution.

Not to mention, a world like Faerûn is full of crises and there is an extreme lack of trust between people.

Even if it is a face-to-face, spot transaction, you must be careful to avoid being cheated, let alone the idea of ​​​​delivering first and paying later.

It's not that there is nothing at all. Ninety-nine percent of the cases happen to regular customers and people with asset mortgages.

Not someone like Gavin who came to trade for the first time.

This is just a pure trust risk.

In addition, there is also the risk of devaluation of goods.

It would be okay if the ghost wine appreciates in value, but once the price drops on a large scale, the risk will be completely on them.

Of course, this is just a simple assumption.

Gavin still has great confidence in ghost wine. He cannot guarantee a permanent monopoly on this magical wine.

But it should be a sure thing to monopolize it for another year and until a large number of grapes are harvested next year.

After all, this involves a new magic craft, and it will take time to explore and imitate it, especially this kind of agricultural and sideline products, which also involves solar terms, and the research time is relatively limited.

Once they figure it out, it will take a year or two to prepare the unique environment and vineyards for mass production, and that will take another year or two.

As for sales, Gavin is not worried either.

He has now mastered the best use of ghost wine. Even if a bottle cannot be sold, he can find a way to digest it.

After all, compared to the entire huge market in Faerun, the total output of ghost wine is still pitifully small.

After such a calculation, I, the owner of ghost wine, was worse than a group of horse dealers who failed to realize the huge room for appreciation of their own products.

"We know how much risk there is, so we are not prepared to bear it alone, but all the horse dealers in Amphail Village share it." Master Ambala said with a smile, "We also know that once we succeed, there will be The benefits will be huge, but given the risks involved, we have a few small strings attached."

"Tell me about it." Gavin was completely intrigued by these war horse merchants. He really wanted to see what strategies they had developed.

"First of all, the place where the contract was signed was not Amphier Village, but the Vizeme Manor in the Land of Three Rivers. It's not that we don't trust Mr. Gavin, but we need to further confirm your identity and make sure that on this issue, there is no error."

"It's simple. Everyone is welcome to be a guest at Weizeme Manor at any time." Gavin nodded in understanding. The more complete the other party's details, the more he believed that the other party was prepared and sincere, rather than having ulterior motives. .

"Secondly, when the contract is signed, you need to use the Vizeme Manor as a mortgage. Once the transaction is completed, due to problems on your side, we have the right to dispose of the manor." Master Ambala took advantage of the situation and set out new conditions.

"Mr. Ambala, you are really good at calculating. Before, I was worried that you were taking too many risks. Now it seems that you have transferred all the risks to me. As long as you use your horse to fight, you will make a profit without losing anything. At worst, you can still make a profit." I have to bear the pain and occupy my Vizeme Manor." Gavin felt that he was simply taking carrots and worrying. They were businessmen and could not afford to take early risks. They had already thought about passing on the risks. method, hoping to make a huge profit from it.

I guess they're hoping for something to go wrong with their ghost wine.

They can take advantage of the situation and settle in Weizeme Manor. A golden egg, where can a chicken that lays golden eggs be more valuable?

In fact, what they were planning was the same as those of the businessmen in Sambia, except that their methods were more sophisticated.

"Mr. Gavin was joking. This is just an insurance method we thought of. We still hope that this deal can be concluded smoothly." Master Ambala said with a smile.

Gavin couldn't comment, and then asked: "Are there any other conditions? Tell them all and I will listen."
