Chapter 963 Anna's Growth

"Miss Anna, please save Little Brown! His life has just begun. He has already become a warrior. If he loses his legs, he will be useless in this life..." Mr. and Mrs. Brown burst into tears and Tearful pleas.

"Didn't you just call Miss Anna a demon priest, a demon illegitimate child, and tell her to stay away from your son? Why are you begging her now? Aren't you afraid that she will take your son's soul away?"

Gavin once again got ahead of Anna and retorted with a sneer, returning the Browns' scoldings to the other party intact.

Since the other person was Anna's neighbor, he didn't say any more vicious words, such as his life is ruined, why are we doing this?

After listening to Gavin's words, the Carbones looked at the Brown family with obviously unkind eyes. The demon priest and the demon's illegitimate child had been insulting each other for a long time. They started when Anna's healing magic first showed side effects.

It is unknown whether it comes from the Brown family, but little Brown, who is the same age as Anna, is the one who barks most frequently.

The two families were at odds with each other because of this. Even though they were neighbors not far apart, they didn't talk much.

"We were wrong, we were blind, we were ignorant, and we misunderstood Miss Anna's kindness. We also ask Miss Anna to forgive us. As long as we can heal Little Brown's leg, we are willing to give everything."

Mr. and Mrs. Brown knelt down in front of Anna at the same time and begged, "Miss Anna, we did do a lot wrong before, but we are neighbors after all, and little Brown grew up with you.

You disappeared, no, after you went out for adventure, we also prayed for you in private, hoping that the Lord of the Morning would bless you and bless you to come back soon.

We know that you have always been kind, and even those animals cannot bear to sit back and watch them suffer from illness, let alone acquaintances! "

The couple also had their own cunningness. They recognized Anna's kindness and ignored Gavin's cynicism. They just kept begging Anna and playing the emotional card.

"Sir, can you leave it to me?" Anna said through her mind, "I can handle it."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you next." Gavin also knew enough was enough.

If they continue to obstruct it, it will have the opposite effect and make the villagers who were originally sympathetic to them turn to the side of the Browns.

After all, this is a small village, and neighbors have the traditional habit of watching and helping each other. This is the basis for their survival.

Anna, who got Gavin's permission, said in a serious voice: "Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown, you get up and speak first, whether it is public or private. I will not sit idly by and ignore this matter, but everything has to pay a price. Rebirth The same goes for surgery.

I can waive the casting fee for you, but there is no way to waive the casting materials, a total of three thousand gold coins.

As long as you can raise the money to purchase the casting materials, I will treat Mr. Brown. "

Gavin, who was next to him, nodded with satisfaction. Although Anna was as kind as ever, her kindness was no longer as bottomless as it was at the beginning.

A year and a half ago, she would probably have told them without hesitation that the regeneration spell cast through the troll gem did not require casting materials and would help Little Brown heal for free.

But now it is regarded as normal casting.

Compared with the treatment price of tens of thousands of gold coins previously reported by Marina, the treatment cost of three thousand gold coins is definitely a reasonable price.

But even so, the Brown family of three looked desperate. This was still a high price that they could not afford. Even if they sold all their property, they still could not raise a thousand gold coins.

Seemingly understanding their predicament, Anna followed up by saying, “I have another solution.

I can treat Mr. Brown for free, but he must sign a contract with our territory.

Afterwards, he reported to the City of Faith in the goblin wilderness and served in the legions of amputees until the debt was repaid.

You can rest assured that the salary of the Amputator Legion is very good. It is easy for a low-level professional to save a thousand gold coins every year. It only takes two or three years to repay this debt.

If you have good abilities and have opportunities for promotion, your salary will be higher and you will have more growth opportunities. "

This model is not unique to Anna, but a special immigration method that the City of Faith has always implemented.

However, City of Faith currently mainly encourages those with amputated limbs to go to City of Faith for treatment and employment through publicity.

And what Anna is doing now is taking the initiative to step forward.

This may not be a feasible method.

The efficiency is much faster than waiting for the amputated limbs to be delivered to your door, and in the process, you can choose.

After all, not all people with amputated limbs are capable of traveling long distances, especially those with disabled legs like Little Brown, who are not suitable for long-distance travel.

"Yes, how could we have forgotten this? The caravans passing by all said that the City of Faith is helping those who lost their limbs to regenerate their lost limbs! Pay back with future services!"

"Although the City of Faith was established less than a year ago, it is said that the population and area there are several times larger than our Green Nest Town, and there are countless job opportunities. Even if the City Alliance of Dragon Coast tried their best to block it, there are still many people there. Risking death to sneak there."

"Mr. Brown, what are you still hesitating about? This is little Brown's only chance! Maybe he can also take the opportunity to find a new future."

Although Green Nest Town is not big, it is not closed. The merchants along the way will bring all kinds of news.

The City of Faith has become quite famous in the past six months, and many travelers with caravans go there to make a living.

"Can we take a look at the contract first?" Mr. Brown said cautiously.

Even ordinary people know that contracts cannot be signed casually.

After a mental exchange with Gavin, Anna said, "Please wait a moment, I don't have the corresponding contract with me. I have to draft a new one."

This is an unexpected incident today.

Even if Gavin could hoard things, he would not travel around the world with this kind of contract.

But it is not difficult for them.

The ghost messengers don't even need to go to the City of Faith, they can just copy it directly from the ghost database.

The ghost transfer station located in the Tower of Misnoel's Rule has a powerful data storage function. All information transmitted through the ghost messenger will leave corresponding data.

This was done at the beginning to make it easier to have records and traces to follow.

Now it is starting to take into account the cloud storage function.

"Mayor Dehava is here."

With the announcement, the crowd parted like a tide, and a halfling hound cavalry appeared in front of everyone.

Most halflings prefer riding dogs to ponies.

Because compared to ponies, riding dogs are more courageous and can also assist in hunting and attacking, so they have extremely strong survivability in the wild.

In the face of these advantages, the shortcomings of slightly poor endurance and a certain need for meat are not too big. After all, their owner's appetite is relatively small, which forms an effective neutrality.

The female halfling hound cavalry leader was wearing a robe and several wands on her waist. Her waist was straight and her expression was serious. The dense wrinkles on her face and gray hair showed that she had passed the best years of her life. .

Dharva* relaxes.

The mayor of Green Nest Town is also the only mayor. Because the entire town was developed by her on the basis of a halfling roadside inn, she has absolute say in Green Nest Town.

Gavin's actions were big enough for a small town, enough to alarm the supreme ruler here.

Seeing Anna, Dharva's serious face couldn't help but burst into a smile and said: "A long time ago, I heard that there was a healer named Anna in the army of conquerors, who relieved the injuries of countless people. Sickness and pain.

At first I thought it was just a coincidence that the name was the same, but I didn't expect that it was actually our little Anna from Green Nest Town.

From now on, you are our greatest pride. "

This halfling mayor can lead his people to build a small town in the wilderness, so he is obviously not an ordinary person.

She had made full preparations before showing up, and her words completely confirmed Anna's identity, proving that what Gavin said before was not a lie.

"The mayor is overly praised. I just did what I should do." Anna said humbly.

"Little Anna is really as kind and humble as ever." Mayor Dehawa said to everyone, "Everyone, please disperse, the sun is going to set soon, and we have to close the city gate.

You first take Little Brown back to recuperate for a period of time, and eat more food that nourishes the body. The regeneration technique consumes a lot of the recipient's own energy. As for the contract, I will help you with it first. "

"Thank you mayor, thank you mayor, thank you mayor." The three members of the Brown family expressed their thanks in succession.

It would undoubtedly be more beneficial for them if Ms. Dehava intervened in this matter, at least reducing their chances of being cheated.

Although the other Green Nest villagers who were watching the excitement had regrets on their faces, they still followed Dhava's order and walked towards their homes.

From this, we can see that the halfling mayor's reputation here is quite good.

After the crowd gradually dispersed, Dhava warmly invited: "Little Anna's safe return is a great event worth celebrating. I have already ordered people to prepare a banquet. Why don't we eat and talk? Anna’s adventures are of great interest.”

Before Anna could speak, Mr. Carbone said with an embarrassed look: "When Anna comes back, we should be the one to entertain everyone. How can we let the mayor spend money?"

Dehawa waved his hand and said: "Mr. Carbone, you are outspoken by saying this. Do you remember the oath of Green Nest Town?"

"Of course you remember, from the moment we joined Green Nest Town, we were a family." Mr. Carbone replied without thinking.

"Since we are a family, we can't say such things to outsiders. Little Anna is my granddaughter who I have watched grow up. I have always had high hopes for her. I am also very happy to see her back safely. Today "Dun, let me invite you." Dehawa did not give them a chance to continue their discussion and made a strong decision.

Surrounded by the halfling hound cavalry led by her, they walked towards the mayor's house in the center of the town.

This place is more appropriately called a huge hotel than a residence, and the name is the Halfling Hotel.

This situation is not uncommon in Faerûn. The governors of those towns are often the largest landowners or wealthy businessmen in the area, running the local pillar industries. The hotel is one of the pillar industries of Green Nest Town.

This is not a simple corruption problem, but these settlements or villages and towns are often developed based on these landlords or wealthy businessmen, and the initial residents are even their slaves or employees.

Dehava's inn is called the Halfling Inn, which means it is run by halflings, not a hotel that specifically receives halflings.

Most of the buildings in the hotel are built according to human standards. The merchants on the Uldun Trade Road are mainly humans.

However, they also considerately prepared rooms that meet the size of the halflings. Although halflings can live in human-sized rooms, they are not as comfortable as these tailor-made rooms.

This halfling hotel is not luxurious, but it makes people feel comfortable and at ease everywhere, and the service is also very good.

Halflings are famous in the service industry. It is precisely with this advantage that they survive and thrive in this world where everyone is twice as many as them.

Without outsiders, the overall atmosphere began to tend to be benign, especially under Dehava's deliberate guidance, Anna began to tell her adventures in the past year and a half.

Gavin did not instill in her the sense of confidentiality in vain. Even when facing her family, Anna obviously knew what to say and what not to say.

For insignificant fun things, they will focus on describing them.

As for matters involving the territory, they either just brushed it aside or didn't mention it at all.

Even so, everyone present was stunned.

No matter how briefly Anna spoke, she couldn't deny the fact that they had built a territory beyond their imagination from scratch.

Mayor Dehava was especially touched and couldn't help but sigh: "It's unimaginable, it's simply unimaginable. It took us thirty years to develop Green Nest from a roadside hotel into a small town.

You actually spent a year and a half to expand multiple territories and develop multiple cities.

Even if the facts are there, I still find it hard to believe what you said.

If there is a chance, little Anna must help me introduce your lord."

When she said this, Dehava looked at Gavin meaningfully. She obviously noticed something, but she didn't point it out.

"If there is a chance, I will definitely." Anna promised guiltily.

She felt guilty and uncomfortable to make such a promise in front of Gavin, the person involved.

Gavin reminded her, "Miss Anna, when you came back, didn't the Lord ask you to bring back some specialties from the territory? Why don't you share them with everyone to thank the mayor for hosting us?"

"Oh! I almost forgot about it." Anna apologized embarrassedly while taking out the gift Gavin stuffed into her. "This is the ghost wine produced by our Vizeme Manor. It not only has a unique taste, but also has a unique effect of balancing positive energy for clergy. Father and teacher should be able to use it. This bottle is for the mayor to treasure."

Influenced by Gavin, Anna is very good at dealing with people and the world. She gave a bottle to Mayor Dehava, Chief Priest Marina and Mr. Carbone respectively.

"This gift is too precious. I can't accept it."

The eyes of Mayor Dehava and Chief Priest Marina were obviously bright, which showed that they had heard of the name of ghost wine and knew its price.

Only Mr. Carbon knew nothing about this, and instead advised: "It's just a bottle of wine, how expensive can it be? You have been worried about Anna before, so you should accept this gift."

"Just a bottle of wine?" Dehava couldn't help laughing, and directly opened the box of ghost wine, and the temperature in the room dropped several degrees on the spot.

Carefully lifted the ghost wine that was thicker and longer than her arm, and shook it gently, and a vivid manor seemed to fly down from it.

Everyone present was stunned.

Dehava asked back this time: "Mr. Carbon, do you still think that ghost wine is just a bottle of wine?"

"Magic wine? Ghost wine is actually a kind of magic wine, so this bottle is worth hundreds of gold?" Mr. Carbon asked in surprise.

Since anything related to magic, the price immediately entered another system, rising tenfold or even a hundredfold.

"In Baldur's Gate, such a bottle of ghost wine would cost at least 350 gold, and you have to make an appointment ten days in advance." Dehava couldn't help but sigh, "I just couldn't bear to taste it. I didn't expect that today, thanks to Mr. Carbon, I would have the opportunity to taste this unique wine."

The mayor was quite generous and wanted to open the bottle Anna gave her and share it in public.

Gavin opened a bottle of ghost wine before her, and even took out a complete set of portable bartending tools, and suggested with a smile: "I know a little about bartending techniques, why don't I make a drink to liven up the atmosphere."

His extraordinary perception ability to make friends with wine has not been used for a long time.

First, his identity is becoming more and more special, he is the chosen one of God, and he is also the lord of a place.

If he shows off his skills in bartending, whether it is self-degrading or not, his subordinates will probably feel uncomfortable drinking it.

Of course, it doesn't mean that this ability is useless.

It just changed the usage slightly. It is no longer mixing in public, but giving wine to a subordinate in public after mixing it.

The effect is better, and he can almost always tap into the power of this ability to the extreme.

Because before mixing the cocktail, he has already fully grasped the background of this subordinate, so he can prescribe the right medicine for the situation, which is easier to arouse the emotions deep inside.

Giving wine in public, and using his power to the extreme, they themselves have special emotions such as awe and gratitude, which are easier to catalyze.

Secondly, the people he was in contact with were getting more and more high-end. In front of many people, it was not appropriate to use this trick, at least when the relationship between the two parties was not harmonious to a certain extent.

For example, King Yasang, for example, the witches of Haslan.

Because drinking with friends involves magical abilities that affect their subjective consciousness, it is impossible to hide from their eyes. If you are not careful, it is easy to have a counter-effect.

The legendary arcanist Felanceni is a special case. This kind of magical wine with emotions is her antidote to relieve endless loneliness.

Not to mention them, even Gavin is extremely sensitive to such things. If someone mixes this kind of wine for him, he will never drink it.

To be more precise, he has always been very vigilant about food and drinks made by unfamiliar people.

This point has not been relaxed as his own strength has improved and he has acquired various special immune abilities. (End of this chapter)
