Chapter 832: Lakeside Palace

After listening to Gavin's suggestion, the five Leatherman witches, who were originally tense, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were afraid that the other party would propose harsh conditions to get involved in the internal affairs of the Leatherman Kingdom, such as extending trade tentacles to the Leatherman Kingdom.

This made them very resistant, which would erode their current relatively stable ruling model.

But if they only dealt with the spoils of the Tukan people, it would be easy to accept. After all, their kingdom was not rich in merchants, and their lifestyle destined them to have little demand for some spoils, such as the armor and mounts on the Tukan people.

It's not that the Leatherman people don't ride horses, but the Leatherman Kingdom has many mountains and plateaus. They mainly ride the kind of sturdy ponies with good endurance and adapt to the plateau climate. The Tukan people's horses from the grasslands are too delicate here and are not very suitable.

If these goods they don't need are used in exchange for strategic materials that are useful to them, it is indeed a very profitable business.

As for whether Gavin will make a lot of difference in the middle, that is not their concern.

That is their ability. After all, they don't have the ability to transport a large amount of materials to the west coast of the Falling Star Sea.

The other party is not a charity organization, so it is natural for them to make a profit from it.

After the five Leatherman witches communicated quickly through their psychic abilities, it was still the Water Spirit Witch who nodded and said, "We agree to this way of trading, but there are too many variables in this matter. We can only reach a preliminary agreement, and you need to deliver the vibration bomb to us first. We can settle for you after the war. In this matter, you need to take some risks."

Gavin said very straightforwardly: "The reputation of you Leatherman witches is also excellent in the whole of Faerun. I can still give you this trust. I believe this is just the beginning of our cooperation. We will have countless opportunities for cooperation in the future."

For Gavin, this deal is a stepping stone to establish a close cooperative relationship with the top leadership of the Leatherman Kingdom. How much profit is secondary, after all, this is a long-term deal.

If you can take the opportunity to get the exclusive operating rights of the Leatherman Kingdom, it will really be a huge profit.

No matter how closed they are and how primitive their lifestyle is, some things are indispensable.

If you learn more about it, you will find that the lifestyle of the Leatherman Kingdom is not as primitive as you might imagine. They just live in a way that is different from the civilized way that is popular now. In fact, their application of totem magic is far beyond people's imagination.

Take the fact that those Leatherman berserkers are shirtless in the winter. Do you really think that they are showing their bravery and using their flesh and blood to resist?

On the one hand, they are convenient to use rage and totem transformation. Ordinary clothes and equipment will be torn directly.

On the other hand, the magic totems on their bodies have corresponding magic effects. Maintaining body temperature is only the most basic. Some of the more powerful ones will even provide super cold or fire resistance. Let alone the invasion of natural cold, even if they face ice magic, the damage they suffer will be much lighter than ordinary people.

Not to mention the spellcasting ability of the Leatherman witches. They can rely on a bitter cold land to compete with the red-robed wizards who are plundering wealth all over the world. Naturally, they have their own unique features.

This point has been verified by the Red Feather Witch and the Water Spirit Witch. They are both serious legendary spellcasters with legendary spells. I believe that the remaining seven witch council members of the Witch Council, even if they are not stronger than them, will not be much inferior to them.

Because unlike the fierce internal competition advocated by the red-robed wizards, the Leatherman Witch Council advocates a high degree of unity. All members are sisters. Many things are highly shared, including some resources and spells. What one witch knows, other witches will soon know, as long as they have the ability to learn.

This is also one of the secrets of their ability to fight against the red-robed wizards.

Even if the red-robed wizards know, they can't follow suit, because their roots are bad. If they make all the things they know public, will those low-level red-robed wizards still be willing to accept their oppression and drive? Wouldn't it be soon that they would grow up and replace them?

All the Leatherman witches could not hide their admiration for Gavin's answer. It was not a fluke that this young commander could gather so many honors in one person. He really had his own unique qualities.

Just based on this courage, he was extraordinary.

The Water Spirit Witch attached great importance to this deal. "It is our greatest honor that the Commander trusts us so much. You are right. We will have many opportunities to cooperate with each other in the future. Even if we repel the Tukans, the Dragon Breath Vibration Bomb will be an important strategic material for us because it will change the way of naval warfare.

We aquatic creatures have always lacked a weapon that can pose a fatal threat to ships, especially large warships and sea vessels.

Now the Dragon Breath Vibration Bomb has made up for this shortcoming. If such a bomb is directly dropped from the water and touched under those ships, only one or two are enough to bring a fatal threat to them.

As long as we have enough Dragon Breath Vibration Bombs, Sel's ships will never have the opportunity to go into the water."

In a flash, the witch extended the use of Dragon Breath Vibration Bombs to a deeper level.

Not to mention that the other four witches felt brightened, even Gavin felt enlightened.

He had previously only thought of the extended use of dragon's breath flutter bombs in the air, and formed an ultra-modern aerial bombing brigade for this purpose.

Why didn't I expect that the Dragon's Breath Flutter Bomb is also a powerful ship blasting tool?

This is mainly limited by the thinking of the previous life. In many cases, it is not how strong his creative ability is, but how broad his knowledge is, and he directly uses ready-made things.

There are no intelligent creatures in the water on the earth, so there are relatively few things to learn from in this aspect. Naturally, they are not as professional as water queens like the Water Spirit Witch, and they have more to think about.

Gavin was on the snake-killing pole, and immediately expressed his position: "As long as the witches need it, I will do my best to provide it, and I guarantee that I will give you the best price. Not only the Dragon Breath Tremor Bomb, I also have various versions. Although the flutter bomb is not as powerful as the dragon's breath flutter bomb, it is more expensive and can be used in various aspects, such as mining and road paving, especially in mountain road paving. "

As he spoke, Gavin turned the topic to what he was best at. Later, he planned to enter the infrastructure industry of Leatherman Kingdom. If there was an opportunity, he would naturally want to get involved in the field of gods.

The Leatherman Kingdom is mainly based on totem belief. I dare not say that there is no belief in gods, but it is definitely not the mainstream.

If you can put your hand in, the meaning will definitely be extraordinary.

But unfortunately, these Leatherman witches were only interested in the first half of his words, and not the second half.

It was still the water spirit witch who said: "We will discuss the follow-up cooperation after we win this war. The most important thing now is when will the dragon's breath flutter bomb be in place? I will recruit people for cooperation training. It will take a lot of time! We still need to conduct intensive research and experiments to see if we can further improve the blasting power.”

"It will take one to two days. As long as you are ready to receive the storage location, I will transport them over by teleportation. This kind of explosive and dangerous goods is not suitable for transportation by ordinary methods." Gavin was not discouraged.

If the Leatherman Kingdom was so easy to conquer, the gods would have succeeded long ago and would have waited for him to come.

This matter needs to be done step by step, and I have a good start now.

"If the four sisters have no objections, I would like to transport the dragon's breath vibration bomb directly to my palace in the middle of the lake. It will not only be convenient for my naval forces to access, but also ensure a certain degree of safety." The water spirit witch suggested.

"There really is nothing more suitable than the Shuiling Sisters' palace in the middle of the lake."

"The main force using this weapon will be the water legion of the Water Spirit Sisters, and that should be the case."

"I agree."

"I agree."

These Leatherman witches are indeed unimaginably united and efficient. Many things have been agreed upon and completely follow the perspective that is most beneficial to the Leatherman Kingdom. As long as this is confirmed, it will basically be unanimously approved, and there is no need to cover it. It means to avoid suspicion in front of people.

"Since it is transported by teleportation, it is easier. Commander, follow me." The water spirit witch waved her hand, and an invisible air ball enveloped Gavin's body, and then fell towards Asen Lake. This time, it was not on top. Instead of walking, he submerged directly into the lake.

The other four witches understood and followed suit into Lake Asen.

Gavin did it without thinking. He had already vaguely guessed what the other party wanted to do.

Sure enough, the moment he fell into the water, the invisible air ball that the water spirit witch had just cast on him took effect, directly dividing the surrounding lake water and forming a huge air ball. Not only did not even a drop of water touch his body, he was not even affected by his breathing. Influence.

Not only herself, but also the four Leatherman Witches who entered the water later. Only the Water Spirit Witch showed her true self again, swimming in the lake, extremely flexible, and showing a sense of beauty in every move. Unfortunately, because of the lake water Despite all the obstacles, I still couldn't see her face clearly, I just felt extremely beautiful.

Her swimming speed was quite fast, even those marine creatures would be defeated. As she swam back and forth, a huge current was stirred up, pushing five air balloons, following her at high speed, and swimming further and further. deep.

A colorful but bizarre new world appeared in front of Gavin. There were not only a large number of fat fishes in groups, but also a large number of busy water elves. The bottom of the lake was covered with all kinds of green plants. There are no fewer than dozens of them. Judging from their dense and orderly arrangement, they are definitely not wild, but planted by those water elves.

In the middle of these aquatic plants, there are exquisite huts shrouded in bubbles. They are built with a series of natural materials in the lake, such as coral, shells and sand.

Water elves have not evolved specialized organs similar to fish gills, nor can they hold their breath for a long time like other marine animals. Instead, as soon as they were born, their own tribe used magic to stabilize their underwater breathing. Technique, you can breathe freely underwater.

After all, they are transformed from terrestrial creatures, and they still retain strong terrestrial habits. For example, when they are in a trance, they still like to lie on a warm and comfortable bed instead of floating in the water.

Soon Gavin and the others went hundreds of meters deep into the lake. The place did not become dark, but on the contrary, it was extremely bright. A palace in the lake, like a full moon, appeared in front of them.

Rather than a palace, it is more appropriate to call it a small town. A huge air cover covers this place. A large number of water elves can also be seen, some of which are in groups, holding weapons similar to harpoons in their hands, patrolling vigilantly.

All the water elves bowed and greeted the water witch with a click.

Although she is also a member of the Leatherman witch, her identity in Lake Asen is more unique because of the uniqueness of the water, and she is respected as the queen by these water elves.

There are even larger beings swimming around this palace, but because the water witch leads the team personally, they did not show up. I believe that if the enemy appears here, it will definitely cause a fatal blow.

When the bubbles on Gavin and his body touched the bubble layer covering this underwater palace, they automatically disappeared and merged into it. Gavin and his team fell to the ground involuntarily.

But there was no ordinary person present, no one was panicking, and they all had their own methods and landed easily.

Gavin couldn't help but look up and admire the beautiful underwater world. The water here was deep enough that he couldn't see the sun on the water surface. There was only a blue sky. Although the air cover covering the underwater palace was invisible, it had a strong repulsive force. Only special entrances could be used to enter and exit. There was no strange scene of fish falling from the sky.

"This is a portal." The water witch pointed to the vortex in front of the palace square and said, "Through it, you can directly teleport to wherever you want to go in Faerun. I will accompany you to transport the dragon breath vibration bomb."

At first glance, the portal that the water witch mentioned was a large fountain, but it did not spray water outward, but a slowly rotating vortex, clear but unable to see the bottom, as if leading to another unknown world.

If you look closely, you will find that it is more different. The portal pool is not made of ordinary bricks and stones, but crystal clear jade, with a large number of complex runes engraved on it, among which the runes representing the water element appear most frequently.

In Faerun, portals are not rare, and the difficulty of making them is not as high as imagined.

By using the magic constant spell to keep the nine-ring spell teleportation array constant, a new portal can be formed.

However, there are not many cities that actually make portals, and they are very cautious.

First, making a portal requires a lot of professional experience, which is a big burden even for those legendary spellcasters.

However, for a powerful city or country, this is not difficult to overcome.

The real reason is the second one. Once the portal is successfully made, it means that they have opened a stable door to the entire multiverse. Once the coordinates of this portal are known, the enemy can also be accurately teleported through this portal.

Some powerful beings outside the plane can also extend their tentacles.

Sometimes, it is better to give up a certain convenience and not open the door easily.

At least Gavin now dare not try to open the door easily.

"Okay." Since someone reimbursed the shipping fee, Gavin naturally had no reason to refuse, and followed the water witch into the water.

Although the energy used by the portal is different, the principle is basically the same.

With the help of the Water Spirit Witch, the Dragon Breath Vibration Bombs that originally needed two to three days to be transported were transferred to the underwater palace of the Water Spirit Witch in just two hours.

In view of the unknown duration of this war, Gavin negotiated with several Leatherman witches to reduce the number of Dragon Breath Vibration Bombs delivered by half and added an order for 10,000 Vibration Bombs, which were not the most powerful Dragon Vibration Bombs, but the Strong Vibration Bombs.

The Water Spirit Witch's navy was blasting underwater, which was relatively safe. Moreover, those Tukan people were not stupid. They would definitely not play a large-scale march on the ice. They would probably break up the army and land in small groups. The vast waters of Lake Asen are now of great help to the Leatherman Kingdom, and the disadvantages after being frozen are as great as this. This is a defense line of 200 to 300 kilometers.

The powerful Dragon Breath Vibration Bombs would be a waste in that case.

It is far less flexible and convenient than the Vibration Bombs with less power but low cost and large quantity.

With the help of the Conqueror Chamber of Commerce in purchasing the alchemical materials needed for the vibration bomb, the vibration bomb can be mass-produced. Under full production capacity, 10,000 bombs are only produced in ten days. This is just the beginning. As the number of kobolds under Gavin increases, the quality of kobold alchemists is getting higher and higher, especially the auxiliary alchemical herbs they planted in large quantities at the Dragon Oak Mother Tree have begun to be harvested, and the production speed will be further improved.

After completing this trade that is crucial to the defense of the Leatherman Kingdom, the Leatherman witches became more and more friendly to Gavin.

Gavin took the opportunity to throw out another suggestion of his own: "The war is imminent, and the chariot corps I just formed is seriously lacking in large-scale combat experience, and I see that your fearless are not very accepting of this new combat tool. In order to facilitate my training and to promote friendship between the two sides, I suggest organizing the two sides to exchange battle formations. Actual combat is the best way to hone their skills and make them grow the fastest."

"Actual combat at this time?" All the Leatherman witches couldn't help but frowned.

The Red Feather Witch, who was most familiar with Gavin, was the first to object: "A war is imminent. Doing this will only consume our own resources. There is no way to avoid casualties in actual combat exercises..."
