Chapter 388 Ghost Index
What makes people feel a little uneasy is that the spells that can use ghost wine as a substitute for casting materials are usually dark spells related to enchantment and undead. After all, they need to use It's negative energy.
No light spells use negative energy.
But that’s all. Gavin and the others cannot stop selling and producing ghost wine just because of its potential utilization.
The ghost wine later showed a series of characteristics that are difficult to copy and have many uses. Even though it has major defects such as being difficult to store and easy to spill, the market price is still soaring. The current retail price has been After reaching 230, it is usually not easy to get it.
At the ghost wine special auction, 10,000 bottles of ghost wine were auctioned.
At first glance, it sounds like there are a lot of them.
But put it in the entire Sea of Fallen Stars area, and even in the entire Faerûn.
Ten thousand bottles of ghost wine, distributed among dozens of caravans, are really pitiful. Many big cities can distribute dozens of bottles at best.
As for the overflow problem, no one came to question Gai Wenxingshi.
Don't underestimate the energy of these businessmen.
Not to mention whether the money in their hands can be pushed around by ghosts, at least many businessmen themselves have a good professional level.
Blocking the flow of energy is not a particularly difficult issue for spellcasters.
If that’s not enough, there is still a small cylinder of healing medicine.
This is very common in the market, but it is expensive.
If you put it in separate packages, you can at least stop the loss!
At worst, the cost will be evenly distributed into the selling price of the ghost wine. For these profiteers, this skill is extremely skillful.
If any businessman could not even think of such a stupid method, he would have been eliminated by the cruel business competition long ago.
"Successful, successful. Congratulations Sir, we have found the optimal concentration and optimal negative energy growth table." Delphine ran to Gavin at a speed that was almost running, with an expression on her face. There was unconcealable joy.
After the Midsummer Festival, dance with the fairies.
The shadows in Weizeme Manor seemed to have undergone some kind of qualitative transformation.
The situation is very similar to the Estelle mother and daughter. A life force seems to have been injected into their bodies, and they are showing more and more human-like features.
Especially the Earthbound Shadow and the Prisoner Soul of Black Heather transformed by Estelle and her daughter.
Their transformation manipulators themselves are not simply undead, but a combination of life and death.
Has the characteristics of life, but controls the power of death.
Originally they just lacked the core essence of life, but now it has been injected into them.
At first glance, it looks like it was given by a fairy.
To really get to the bottom of it, the reason still lies in the mother dragon oak tree.
That night, the dragon oak mother tree and the Vizeme Manor completed the true connection.
The two have completed an exchange of energy and essence to a certain extent.
The Wyzeme Manor infused the Dragon Oak Mother Tree with the power of death - just like Gavin, this power was not in the body, but in the shadow, the shadow of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.
Don’t think that the Dragon Oak Mother Tree is only related to life. Death is also closely connected with it. Its roots also need to absorb energy, especially those rotten substances. Its size is so large that the demand is particularly terrifying. When the power of death is integrated into the shadow and root systems, it can strengthen its ability in this aspect and assist it in its rapid absorption.
On the contrary, the Dragon Oak Mother injected a vital force into the Vizeme Manor.
This force directly binds the Vizeme Manor and the vineyard, that is, the vineyard is also part of the Vizeme Manor.
The most intuitive expression is that the shadows that were originally bound to the Vizeme Manor can extend their range of activities into the vineyards. They can appear and appear at will as long as the shadows of the vineyards are shrouded.
Vineyards with tangled vines that are as tall as a person are very suitable for them to hang out, even in broad daylight.
But this feature is of little use to other shadows, except for a very small number of privileged people such as Estelle, her daughter and Daphne.
Because they are just a group of miserable shadow workers, the kind that work 24 hours a day, with a full work schedule, how can they have time to hang out?
The one who benefited the most was Daphne. She directly opened up the same virtual reality transformation ability as Estelle and her daughter, and had two forms.
This is related to its extraordinary professional level. Other shadows do not activate this ability even if they are closer to people.
The specific situation remains to be verified later.
Compared with the entity, Daphne spends most of her time in the shadow state because this state is more convenient, whether in daily life or when doing research related to negative energy.
Especially the latter, the shadow state has unique advantages.
"Great, the results are finally here. If it's a few days later, we'll have to make a batch of ordinary wine first. We can wait, but these grapes can't wait." Gavin also had a look on his face. Unable to conceal his joy.
As the saying goes, busy farming waits for no one.
Especially since the Vizeme vineyard is so large, once the grapes are ripe, they are ripened together in large batches.
However, there have been twists and turns in the brewing process of ghost wine, and it is inevitable that it is a bit distressed.
“Lord, why don’t you try the first bowl of ghost wine we brewed? I think it has a more unique taste than the previous batch, because it not only contains negative energy, but is also mixed with life force. It’s very helpful for my other form.” Delphine handed a bottle of ghost wine to Gavin.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
Gawen's thoughts couldn't help but move.
Could this be related to Leprechaun Midsummer Night?
Have the grapes from this vineyard in Vizeme Manor become a little different? Stained with the scent of a fairy? Or the vitality of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.
Should I use this batch of grapes to brew a batch of ordinary wine and see if there are any unique effects?
No.
This approach is generally wrong.
The grapes here, no matter how rich their life energy is, are only affected by the Fairy Wilderness and the Dragon Oak Mother Tree overnight. It is impossible to compare with the grapes produced in the Fairy Wilderness, and even less than the grapes planted directly under the mother dragon oak tree or under the shade of the tree.
Making elf wine is something that belongs to the elf wilderness. To brew it yourself is simply putting the cart before the horse.
The right way is to continue to dig deeper into the value of ghost wine and turn it into a unique signature of Chateau Vizeme.
As you shake the wine bottle in your hand, you will see that the liquid inside is not simply black, but has a lingering rich green color that sinks and floats in it.
That's right.
That is indeed the life force belonging to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, although it is very thin.
With a thought in Gavin's mind, these greens immediately began to gather in the wine bottle, forming the appearance of a towering tree. Who else could it be if it wasn't the mother dragon oak tree.
The floating and sinking stone stands behind the black shadow of the Vizeme Manor. The two complement each other, which elevates it to a higher level.
Open the bottle cap and take a sip directly from the bottle.
It still has the familiar refreshing taste, just as expected. It tastes really extraordinary when drunk in midsummer, and most of the summer heat is gone at once.
After swallowing, there is a sweet feeling that echoes between the mouth and tongue.
Only after entering the stomach can one notice the difference between new wine and old wine.
Old wine is just cold, the kind that slowly absorbs the heat from your whole body.
In addition to being cold, the new wine also has a vitality that drifts with the current, lingering in the weakest part of the body, continuously warming and repairing it.
If used for evil activities.
New wine is definitely not as pure as old wine, because it is pure negative energy, and new wine is mixed with impurities.
But if it is used for serious purposes, such as being used as auxiliary training supplies for the holy warriors, the value will be even higher.
That life force will play a supporting role in this process, and even help them spy on their own weaknesses and flaws.
Daphne added beside her: "The biggest role of this vitality is not here yet. It can play a balancing role in it, allowing a bottle of wine to contain more negative energy."< br>
"Increase the upper limit of storage? How much can it be increased?" The negative energy contained in ghost wine also has an upper limit.
"The negative energy level can be increased to 5%." Delphine replied.
The negative energy scale is a standard developed by Gavin and others to measure the negative energy content of ghost wine.
This standard is basically the same as alcohol content.
That is, 100% is the limit - pure alcohol.
The negative energy level of 5% means that there are 5ml of negative energy in 100ml of wine.
Don’t think that 5% is very low. This is invisible energy, not transformed by substances like alcohol.
It is impossible to achieve it 100%. In that case, it will be pure negative energy instead of ghost wine.
The negative energy content of the ghost wine sold at the auction is about 0.1%.
When the previous infusion was to the extreme, the negative energy level was only about 3%. Now, based on the original level, it has increased by nearly twice, which is quite astonishing.
"Very good!" Gavin nodded with satisfaction, "What about the renovation work of wine cellars with different negative energy levels?"
The final level of negative energy of ghost wine depends on the level of negative energy in the external environment.
The higher the negative energy level, the higher the negative energy level of the final ghost wine produced.
The current negative energy level at Vizeme Manor is around 0.2%. If nothing is done, the most negative energy level can be produced is ghost wine.
This index can also be called the ghost index.
As long as this index reaches above 0.05, the probability of ghosts appearing here will be greatly increased. The higher the index, the greater the possibility.
The index was 0.1 before the capture of Vizeme Manor, and now it is 0.2, which has doubled.
Want to produce a more concentrated ghost wine.
Sending people to guide inside is one way, but the disadvantages of adding the leader's emotions are one, and the second is that the efficiency is too low.
It is far inferior to injecting large quantities by yourself.
The method is not difficult, just build a sealed wine cellar and place a spirit-gathering array inside.
Gather enough negative energy into it and maintain a certain ghost index all year round.
For Daphne, this matter belongs to her own ability and she is very good at it. Especially in a special environment like Vizeme Manor, it is naturally easier.
“The first group of 0.5, 1 and 2 Juling wine cellars have been arranged, and the second group and 3 will be arranged together in ten days, but going up further, it is far beyond the spirit gathering method. The ability of the formation, the speed of gathering negative energy is not as fast as the speed of dissipation, and its The actual consumption of 3 is already very large. I used it as the core wine cellar and placed it in the center of other wine cellars, sandwiched between two 2s, to barely achieve it. Each wine cellar can accommodate a large fermentation barrel. , one barrel can hold two thousand ghost wines," Daphne replied.
The negative energy filled in Vizeme Manor has exceeded the outer area of the Shadow Plane and is close to the central area.
Now the Juling Wine Cellar is even more ruthless, with a ghost index of 3, which has reached the concentration in the core area of the Shadow Plane.
Ordinary people will become ghosts if they stay there for one night.
"The total capacity of 14,000 sticks was barely enough before the Fairy Midsummer Night, but it is far from enough now. At least one more set will be built."
According to the original It is estimated that the grapes produced by Vizeme Manor this year can produce 20,000 ghost wines, which is the limit.
But judging from the current situation, 30,000 units cannot be used to defeat the enemy.
