Chapter 254 Treasures in Yewen Pond
“Yes.” Avery nodded repeatedly, “Of course, we will not let Lord Broken Thorn’s efforts go in vain. We are willing to use the catch or other labor Compensation."
"Compared to Hire Broken Thorn, I have a better way to cooperate." Since the other party raised this topic, Gavin naturally took advantage of the opportunity, "Before that, I would like to ask, where did your houseboat come from? Or did you build it yourself? Buying from other Valley shipyards? ”
< br>"Those simple wooden boats and kayaks were built by ourselves, and the boat owners ordered them from Lake Sebo in the Misty Valley. There is a large shipyard there that specializes in producing various river boats." Ai Free replied, "Seiber Lake is our winter refuge from the wind and cold. An excellent place.”
“I hope you can contact me to buy more severely damaged ships, or find those that have been abandoned. In return, I will help you repair the damage to the ships for free.” Gavin’s. The abacus made a snapping sound.
In doing so, it is natural to defeat the idea of the spell-like repair technique and complete repair technique opened by the kobolds.
Don’t use the frequency of spell usage in Dragon Oak Territory and Spring Bud Forest to measure the entire Faerûn.
Just like when Gavin first ruled Blackwell, the Blackwell tribe’s use of magic was the highest level of magic use in the lives of all human beings, and even most intelligent life in Faerûn.
There is certainly some use of spells, but overall it is not high.
Spring Bud Forest, as a fairy wilderness, cannot be measured by the level of the material plane.
The special situation of the Dragon Oak Territory is mainly based on the fact that kobold bloodline is prone to mutation, and Gavin found the right path through a combination of circumstances, especially the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, which played a big factor in the process.
Without it, the kobolds' spell use, even if it is higher than other intelligent races, is relatively limited.
Anbaochuan Village is obviously at an average level. The priest named Anlanka looks quite old, but his professional level is not high. He can perform repair techniques, but cannot perform perfect repair techniques.
At most, small scars can be repaired, but for serious injuries, nothing can be done.
Hearing Gavin’s proposal, the halfling leader Avery’s face showed a hint of joy involuntarily, “Lord, I want to use the complete repair technique to repair those old ships and let them Are they back in service?
This method seems perfect, but in fact, the cost is sometimes higher than buying a new ship, especially those large ships that are too large and often require dozens of perfect repair techniques. No senior priest is willing to Waste a lot of time and energy on this. ”
Avery kindly reminded Gavin that if this kind of business was really so profitable, someone would have done it long ago. How could there be so many scrapped or abandoned ships?
Return The reason is that it is too expensive to hire a priest who can perform perfect repair techniques.
My eyes couldn't help but fall on Anna. Could it be that this little girl who looked like she was not even half the age of Pastor Anranka was actually a third-level priest?
At the same time, I remembered that I had just entered the Vizeme Manor? From what I saw, are all the repair marks due to her?
"My situation here is a bit special. I have several special kobold subordinates who have spell-like abilities in this area." Gavin revealed a little bit.
Kobolds with spell-like abilities?
A kobold with the art of repair and perfect repair?
The halflings present could not help but look at each other.
This is the first time I have heard of such a kobold, let alone seeing it.
If there were such a kobold as his subordinate, the deal Gavin was talking about would be a huge profit.
How much does it cost to raise several kobolds?
If you hit a perfect repair technique every day, you can earn hundreds of gold coins.
There is no need to have too many kobolds like this. There are ten or eight of them. If you open a repair shop, you can sleep on the gold coins.
Now that the conversation has come to this point, if the halfling leader continues to disagree, it will not be a good intention, but blocking people's way of making money. He nodded with a smile and said: "In this case, I will occupy the lord's possessions. It’s a huge bargain. There is no need to look elsewhere. There is a ship graveyard in Yewen Pond. Some ships that are not worth repairing will be driven there, waiting to rot and sink. After so many years of accumulation, there are all kinds of ships there, not to mention There have to be dozens of ships.”
"Can you take me to see the situation?" Gavin suddenly became more energetic.
Speaking of ship graves, he couldn't help but think of the truck graves he encountered in the goblin wilderness when he came to Rockland.
When you have time, it is necessary to go there. Even if you don’t take out all the trucks there, throw two or three kobolds who know the repair and perfect repair skills there and drive a truck to repair it. Shop, that is also a good business that makes a lot of money every day.
Gavin couldn't help but look at the young priest. She had been excited for a long time because of her discovery.
Anna also happened to look at Gavin, looked at each other, and smiled at each other. It seemed that the two of them thought of the same thing.
"Now?" Avery was stunned. The Lord was still impatient.
“Now.” Gavin nodded. In the Land of Three Rivers, the value and convenience of ships are far greater than those of horse-drawn carriages. The sooner you have your own ship, the better.
"Okay, I will choose a boat and take the Lord there personally." Avery is also a cheerful person.
Both parties are action-minded. After finalizing this, they immediately lifted their buttocks and headed to the river.
This time, Gavin didn’t take anyone with him. He jumped onto the halfling’s ship alone.
He now has more ways to save his life, and his courage has also increased with the tide.
Just a lake can't trap him.
Avery also only brought one young halfling to help him row the boat. Judging from his appearance, he should be his son.
Both of them are excellent sailors. With the help of the gentle breeze, they arrived at their destination in just ten minutes.
The boat grave mentioned by the halfling leader is not on the shore, but in the center of Yewen Pond.
There is an island here, or more accurately, a swamp.
If the water level is lower, it will be exposed.
If the water level is higher, the whole area will be submerged.
The dilapidated ships were lying half in the mud.
Most of the ships are halfling house ships, and a small number are slightly larger human cargo ships. In the deepest part, Gavin also found one, even though it was mostly rotten, it was still abnormal. Exquisite ships, rich in Elf style.
Seemingly noticing Gavin's gaze, Avery smiled and explained: "The abandoned ship can be said to be the ancestor of this ship tomb. It has a history of hundreds of years here. It was not a cargo ship, but a cargo ship." This elven warship is a magic ship. It has not completely decayed after so many years. The magic on it must be still in effect. If you want to repair it, it cannot be done by dozens of complete repair techniques."
"I know." Gavin nodded gently, indicating that he knew what he was thinking.
Whether it is a repair spell or a complete repair spell, it can only be effective on those ordinary items.
Once you get the magic item, there's nothing you can do about it. It's called, magic can't fix magic.
After looking around, Gavin couldn't help but sigh and said: "You have really chosen a good place for this ship grave. Even if you repair them and open them up, it will be difficult."< br>
“This is easy to handle. It will take less than two months. During the Komanso rainy season, the flows of the three rivers increase at the same time, and the water level of the Yevin Pond will rise by at least one meter. Most of them will be submerged, and they can be dragged out. Previously, we docked them during the rainy season. "Avery has a lot of experience.
"It seems that my dream of owning my own ship and fleet in a short period of time will come to nothing."
"Haha... The lord is too impatient, even if it is You have a lot of ships. In a short time, where can you go? Looking for so many sailors who are proficient in sailing? No matter how good the ship is, if there are no sailors, it will be dead.”
“I’m impatient. Okay, let’s go back. , know how to arrange it.”
"Now that we're all out, why don't I take you to visit the scenery around Yewen Pond and introduce you to the situation here?" Avery suggested.
"If the leader has time, he would be more than happy to do so." Having a local snake who is familiar with the surrounding situation is willing to lead the way is something Gavin could only wish for.
“Then we will follow the wind. The first stop is the confluence of the Sambo River originating from Lake Sebo. If we go upstream here, we can go directly into Lake Sebo in the hinterland of the deep forest valley... "
Halfling leader Avery has lived on the Asaba River for generations. He was born and raised here. He spends less time on the ground than staying on the water. He is familiar with the surrounding situation.
In Gavin's ears, these seemingly homely things are the information he needs most.
Even if we were driving a boat and circling around Yewen Pond, it would already be mostly dark.
Both of them felt that they had gained a lot.
Gavin has enough information.
Avery, on the other hand, gained a deeper understanding of the new lord of the Vizeme Manor.
The other person gave him the feeling that he had a big heart and would never be satisfied with a small Vizeme Manor.
After understanding this, the halfling leader was not frightened, but surprised.
It’s not that he is ambitious and wants to get involved, but if the other party’s heart is big enough, he won’t set his sights on small profits - and Anbao Ship Village is an insignificant small business. profit.
Although Gavin repeatedly invited him kindly, the halflings were not very grateful for the idea of staying at Wezeme Manor, and even the dinner was frightening.
As soon as the dinner was over, each one ran faster than a rabbit, as if the Vizeme Manor behind him was a man-eating monster.
No way.
After all, Vizeme Manor has been caught between the material plane and the shadow plane for a while.
During the day, the sun is shining directly, and the shadow energy is suppressed.
At night, the shadow energy takes over again, especially since the restoration of the manor has just begun. It is a mixture of old and new, giving people a more permeable feeling.
To put it nicely, it’s called You Leng.
It sounds so awful, so ghostly.
Especially tonight, it's a moonless night. With evil intentions, everything seems to be wrong.
This is obviously the case for these halflings. After leaving the manor, they looked at each other and did not even have the courage to discuss it here. They hurriedly ran back to their houseboats, making up their minds. If there was nothing special, The thing is, it’s better not to come to this manor as often as it’s too sinister.
Tonight is destined to be an uneasy night.
As soon as the halfling stepped forward, dark figures walked out of the shadows and quickly gathered together, exchanging information in extremely low voices.
“Is this here?”
"Yes, it is here. There is still a remnant of the goddess's power here. This is the stolen manor in the goddess's oracle."
"I feel the breath of the blasphemer, right here. "In a manor"
"We are now. What to do? "
"What else can be done? Of course, rush in, find the blasphemer, take divine revenge on him, and regain what belongs to the goddess."
"Is it possible? Don’t wait for the high priest to arrive?”
"Idiot, if we wait until the high priest comes, what will happen to us? That greedy old woman will take away more than 90% of the harvest and ask for credit from the goddess alone."
"Yes, since we have been If we find it first, we should seize this opportunity.”
“But, will the high priest hold us accountable afterwards?”
“As long as we succeed, no matter how dissatisfied the high priest is, he must keep it in his heart, because we will become a new one. God bless you."
"What if it fails?"
"Haha...failure? Even if the high priest spares us, the goddess will not spare us. We can only succeed, not fail."
"Don't talk nonsense, the goddess's remaining power here is still very strong. , I can use these divine powers to form a temporary revenge field here, which will lock the blasphemer and prevent him from escaping from this manor before we all die. , all the creatures inside are regarded as our enemies, and we can carry out divine revenge on them."
"Temporary revenge field? Haha... I told you that with this, the goddess will be with us. What are you afraid of? Start quickly.”
“It’s already started.”
