Chapter 493: Advancing into the Three Rivers

Although the journey is a bit far, at least more than 1,200 kilometers, there are no insurmountable natural dangers along the way. In addition, there are a large number of business roads along the way, which facilitates them to save costs.

The owners of these racecourses are very smart. When they deliver goods, they don't just send war horses there.

The horses that pull the carts are usually rented to merchants who are passing by to pull goods along the way. Even the war horses are rented to the guards at a low price. Only some of them that cannot be rented will follow the caravans and usually return them. Will be used as a spare horse.

This can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone. It can not only reduce labor costs, extract more value, but also make safety more secure.

As for mobilizing unsold horses or horses from the same industry from around the destination for exchange, that is a routine operation with one main purpose - to save transportation costs.

But when people were not satisfied, Master Ambala said with a grimace: "The journey is really too far, and there will probably be a lot of wear and tear on the horses along the way. At this price, can we..."

Gavin replied calmly: "According to the price of the City of Glory, it is already too high. If you all don't agree with this price, then there is no need to discuss it. When the time comes, I will go directly to Waterdeep City and Baldur's Gate. The news is out that I will purchase war horses in large quantities at Ivanso according to the price of Waterdeep City. What do you think the final result will be?"

With a group of pure businessmen, he would not talk about emotions, let alone play for profit, he would just lower the price severely.

Upon hearing what Gavin said, Master Ambala immediately did not dare to argue anymore, gritted his teeth and said: "Who made us friends? OK, the price will be calculated according to the market price of Glory City, and the goods will be inspected and paid at Ivansuo. Is there a specific number for us to use as a reference?”

"The ratio of war horses to cart horses can be maintained at about one to two, within ten thousand horses. I will eat as many as I want, and the upper limit will not exceed 20%." The quantity Gavin gave was the largest he could get. Liquidity will become a problem no matter how much you pay, and you won’t be able to use so much in a short period of time.

"What about the delivery date?"

"After fifteen days, you have a five-day buffer period, and you will not wait until it expires." Gavin gave the estimated time.

Master Ambala thought for a moment and said: "There is no problem, but we still hope to sign this contract at Mr. Vizeme Manor."

This was the final verification of Gavin's identity. After all, it involved transporting nearly 10,000 war horses thousands of miles away.

"Let's do this. Let's take a compromise. I'll take you for a tour of my territory, and the contract will be signed here. After all, it takes time to draft a contract." Gavin suggested.

Master Ambala looked at the horse farm owners and nodded in agreement, "This method is also possible."

They were mainly there to confirm their identity, not to drink at Vizeme Manor.

"Then let's leave now. Should I arrange for people to teleport? Or..." Gavin looked at Master Ambala.

He has at least fifteen mage professional levels, and high-level teleportation is definitely a necessary spell.

Master Ambala smiled and said: "Sir, you only need to provide the positioning coordinates. Leave the rest to me. Mr. Orm, Mr. Rawls, and Ms. Elragna, as representatives, you three, Come with us while the others return to the racecourse and prepare to mobilize supplies! "

A group of five people, with Gavin positioning the spatial coordinates and Master Ambala using high-level teleportation.

One second he was in Amphier Village, and the next second he appeared outside the Vizeme Manor in the Land of Three Rivers.

"How is this going?"

"Why is it pouring heavily in other places, but the sun is shining brightly here without even a drop of rain star?"

"It's amazing. In the same land, you can actually see two completely different weather conditions, just like a rain curtain."

As soon as everyone arrived at Vizeme Manor, they were attracted by the unique scene here.

It was pouring rain all over the Three Rivers Land.

Only the Vizeme Vineyard had clear skies and not a single raindrop.

Since the Vizeme vineyard area is limited and the terrain is flat enough, the clear dividing line between Jing and Wei can be seen even with the naked eye.

Even a fool, when he sees this situation, knows that this is not a natural formation, but the power of magic.

"This land is like a golden field. It has been blessed by the gods and nature. It has its own weather pattern. It is always blessed by the Mother of the Earth. Whatever you plant, you will reap a bumper harvest. Mr. Gavin is so lucky to have such a good harvest. A piece of land, no wonder it has so much wealth." As a mage, Anbar had a lot of knowledge and instantly guessed the reason.

But he guessed wrong on two points. The magical magic shrouded here did not come from the gods, nor was it possessed by Gavin only because of the magic here.

It was because of Gavin that this land became magical.

What is taking effect is the limited good weather started by the Fairy Midsummer Night.

This ability can not only actively bring clouds and rain when the land is dry.

When there is too much rain here, this situation will occur.

Now is the eve of the second wave of grape ripening in the Vizeme vineyard. When light is most needed to produce sugar, a lot of rain is most taboo.

Apart from this, there is not much to highlight in this line of work. After all, it is just the most ordinary business cooperation inspection.

At most, Gavin took them to see the less private things in Weizeme Manor, and hosted a banquet. Gavin took the opportunity to show off his skills and made them each a cup of Guanxin cocktail, the ordinary kind. , even if he has a special ability, drinking with friends still requires an atmosphere and emotions. For this kind of business banquet, Gavin himself can't bring up too many emotions, so how can he affect other people?

Even so, the four of them were full of praise for the Guanxin cocktail, and were even more enthusiastic about the ghost wine.

Behind the scenes, he still wanted to trade war horses for ghost wine with Gavin.

Gavin refused to let go and only agreed to give them a few bottles in private for their private collection. They would reserve them in advance and avoid any discussion.

There are many people selling war horses in the world, but currently he is the only one who has the ghost wine.

What's more, he is not prepared to buy horses for the rest of his life, so building his own horse farm is the way to go.

The valley is famous for being vast and sparsely populated. Even if he moves tens of thousands of people from Darauma, it is estimated that even the Hetao area of ​​the Land of Three Rivers cannot be filled, let alone other places.

The fey in his hands also have an advantage over the war horse Moyu.

The horses purchased from the owners of the racecourse in Amphail Village will be the seeds of his new racecourse.

This in itself is a matter of killing two birds with one stone. It can be said that the war horses brought the immigrants to the valley from Rauma, or it can be said that the immigrants brought the war horses to the valley.

Afterwards, Gavin did not return to Amphier Village with Master Ambala and the others, but chose to stay here at Vizeme Manor because the heavy rain in front of him was not an ordinary heavy rain, but the coming of the Cormanso rainy season.

I don’t know how long the rain lasted. The water levels of Yewen Pond and Asaba River rose by more than half a meter.

And this is just the beginning, this rainy day will last for at least a month.

Considering the surrounding geographical environment, such weather is completely normal.

Cormanthor is surrounded by the Moon Sea, the Dragon Bay, the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars, and the Dragon Lake. The only land to the west is blocked by the Dragon's Spine Mountains, the Mokou Mountains, and the Thunder Mountains. .

It's okay to say that other wind directions are better. Once the easterly winds are more frequent in autumn, a large amount of water vapor is brought to the sky above Comanso. Once intercepted by the mountains, it will easily turn into a large amount of rainfall.

"How many days has it been raining?" Gavin asked Estelle, who was following him step by step.

"Today is already the third day." Astaire replied.

"Why didn't you notify me?" Gavin's expression was gloomy.

Astaire's head dropped so low that it was almost tucked into her plump breasts, and she said timidly: "I'm sorry, I was negligent in my duty, please punish me, Lord."

"I asked you why you didn't notify me that the rainy season is coming?" Gavin frowned and said, "Where do you think you have neglected your duty?"

Estelle's voice became weaker and less confident, "Drainage channels have been dug around our vineyard in advance. They are protected by magic. The rainy season did not have any impact on our vineyard, so I didn't Inform the lord... I am negligent in my duties, and I ask the lord to punish me..."

Gavin sighed and said: "This matter is not only your dereliction of duty, but also my dereliction of duty. There are some things that are too difficult for others. From now on, you will be responsible for the brewing of ghost wine and the general accounts I gave you. Other matters will not matter." I need you to intervene again.”

Compared with Daphne, Estelle's management level is really far behind. It is really uneasy to leave the Three Rivers Land to her completely, even though in recent times, resources have been allocated to her training. But some things about his character have already taken shape and there is no way to change them.

She will never be a qualified manager, let alone a sinister politician like Delphine.

However, she is a very careful and serious person. In addition to her current special situation, she can be used as an internal financial manager. She will be trained in this aspect in the future and see the effect.

"Yes." Estelle responded, hesitated, and then asked cautiously, "Lord, can you ask me where I failed in my duty?"

"You are eager to learn." Gavin explained patiently, "You have neglected your duty and only focused on the vineyard. You have forgotten that we also have a new village under construction. In this case of continuous heavy rain, There is definitely no way to carry out construction. Fortunately, I came back halfway, otherwise, it would have been delayed as long as it rained. "

"I see, it's really my fault." Estelle was convinced this time. She really didn't expect this.

As for whether Gavin had any tricks to deal with Heavy Rain, she had no doubt at all. She was not the wife of the manor who didn't have much experience. She knew how magical magic was, especially those high-level magics that could often turn decay into magic. Including weather manipulation.

"The fundamental mistake in this matter is my fault. Not only did I put you in an inappropriate position, I already had a convenient communication method, but I didn't give you equipment as soon as possible. You should keep this. From now on, you will do it every time." After four hours, open it and check to see if there are any new letters and items. These items will be my latest arrangements and orders. Regarding matters on the manor, no matter how big or small, you can write them into letters and put them in I’ll check it out when I have time.”

Gavin took out a translucent coil from his arms.

It's nothing else, it's a collar made of ropes woven from phase spider silk, connected to a small extradimensional hole.

However, it is not a brand-new different-dimensional hole, but a clone created by using the special ability of the portable different-dimensional hole in his hand. It is a typical mother-child hole. The child hole can be controlled through the mother hole, but the child hole has no way to touch the mother hole.

Gavin plans to use this alien version of his mailbox so that he can control the situation in his territory in real time.

He had just made it two days ago.

The phase spider silk naturally comes from the auction house of Glory City, and the price is ridiculously expensive. Only three pieces were found there, one asking for 18,000 gold coins, one asking for 25,000 gold coins, and one asking for 58,000 gold coins. Purely It is to slaughter people as fat sheep.

Gavin only asked Gao Se's mother and others to help buy the eighteen thousand stick.

No matter how wealthy he is, he will not pay for the twenty-five thousand yuan. This thing is not too precious to be purchased. The normal market price should be between thirteen thousand and fifteen thousand.

As long as there is a 15,000 mission to acquire phase spider silk in the mercenary market, there will be a lot of adventurers going to collect it.

In fact, Gavin did the same thing, and collected five of them in one go.

This thing is difficult to depreciate, and it has special uses for you. There is no harm in having more.

The only flaw is that it is difficult to judge when the supply will be available. It may take three to five days, or it may take three to five months. It all depends on the efficiency and luck of the adventurers.

Therefore, Gavin is planning to issue this acquisition mission in major cities such as Baldur's Gate, West Gate, etc., so that there will be more flowers.

He pinched his nose and bought the one that was a little too high. He mainly wanted to give it to Filancini. If the two could establish a connection through this method, the value would go without saying.

Filancini does not have to endure endless loneliness alone, and Gavin has a legendary arcanist as a portable mage consultant who can learn and consult mage knowledge anytime and anywhere.

Unfortunately, the land of mist takes full advantage of its imprisonment characteristics. Like teleportation, this kind of magic that connects different dimensions is also not easy to use.

This matter still inspired Filancini a lot. She has listed this topic as the top priority for research. The rest depends on how much energy she has and whether she can find a way to break through the shackles of the misty land.

Now that it has been produced, it cannot be wasted. It must be fully utilized to bring out its value.

"So magical?" Esteler came into contact with space equipment for the first time. He held the coil in his hand and played with it. At the same time, he carefully opened the rope and looked inside.

Although she has never used it, she has seen Gavin use it.

She's not really stupid, it's just that Gavin's expectations of her are too high, and if he wants to use her as a frontier official in charge, he will definitely be disappointed.

Compared to most people, her learning ability and growth rate are quite amazing.

If she was given enough time to grow, she might one day be able to meet Gavin's expectations.

Gavin added: "During use, you must pay attention to one thing, do not exceed its space and weight load limit, otherwise it will easily cause the loss of items. The most important point is, do not use space attributes. Equipment and items are put into it, and this convenience bag like mine is a representative one. Once put into it, two different dimensional spaces will collide, resulting in an astral rift, which will suck everything away. "

"What about teleportation? Does using shadows to move quickly have any impact?" Estelle asked hurriedly. She often shuttled between the manor and Mys Noel.

"As long as it is not a finite different-dimensional space, other impacts will not be very big. At least the shadow movement and teleportation will not have any impact. Other uncertain situations will be treated as having an impact." Gavin decided to be cautious. After all, The bag is connected to the mother bag, and if there is a problem with the sub-bag, it is likely that the mother bag will be brought along.

This also reminded Gavin that this kind of contact method is different from ordinary people. He must not give it to someone who is not absolutely trusted. Otherwise, someone with intentions may use this as a means to attack him, just like he did before. It's like attacking the Nightmare Snake with a man-eating bag.

What if what he threw in at the beginning was not a bunch of dragon vibration bombs, but another dimensional bag, or a man-eating bag.

The Nightmare Snake is probably having a lot of fun. It can't be solved by vomiting out his stomach, and it may even cost his own life.

After Gavin explained it clearly to Estelle, he took out a magic item from the warehouse and went straight to Vizeme New Village.

The situation here was much better than Gavin expected. There was no miserable scene of everyone soaking in muddy water.

The huge sewer project they had prepared at the beginning began to work, and all the rainwater here was quickly sent to Yewen Pond.

Rows of brand new bluestone houses stand on the original open space.

Since the Fairy Midsummer Night, the construction work of the new village of Vizeme has been progressing visibly with the naked eye. In just one month, the first batch of stone houses have been successfully built and put into use, whether it is Tethyr refugees or not. , or kobolds, or fey, have all moved in.

Although a lot of people need to be crowded together, at least they don’t have to get wet outside in the rain.

The construction speed is so fast, naturally thanks to the fifteen thousand kobolds newly transferred from the rocky ground. They have all been carefully trained by Dragon Oak Leader. Not only do they have good professional knowledge, many of them have opened up similar... Spell abilities, some even have professional levels enabled.

Although the level is not high, most of them are only level one or two, but the number is huge. When they are all used to assist in production and manufacturing, the effect is absolutely amazing.
