Chapter 389 Juling Wine Cellar
“Now it is easy to handle the gathering magic circle, but it is difficult to handle the fermentation barrel. The shadow wood that the Lord previously transported back from the sealed land has been all used up. Their burden Energy conductivity is also very critical. If there is no such wood, For fermentation barrels made of high-quality materials, the degree of negative energy inside and outside the barrel will be very different. The higher the negative energy index of the Juling wine cellar, the higher the requirements for the negative energy conductivity of the fermentation barrel.”
This is. This property is related to polymerization inertness caused by excessive energy concentration.
When it is below 1, negative energy is still in an invisible and shadowless gas state.
Above 1, it will basically become a black fog state.
The higher it is, the more serious it is. When there is no obstacle, the liquidity is not felt. Once there is a physical obstacle, the judgment will be made.
“So fast?” Gavin was somewhat surprised.
The amount of dark wood he brought back from the Sealed Land was quite a lot, and it was all consumed in just a few days?
“Lord, there is indeed a lot of shadow wood transported back from the Sealed Land, but there are more places that need to be used in the manor. Any place that involves the conduction of negative energy must be used. Come to it, shadow spinning, textile looms, shadow fermentation barrels, gathering spirit wine cellar array layout, new type of wine barrel device..." Daphne began to take a detailed inventory of the whereabouts of the shadow wood.
"Needless to say, I know where they are used, I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly. This is good. It shows that you have done a lot of work during my absence."
< br>
Gavin affirmed and praised, "I will figure out a solution regarding the shadow wood. Before that, I will make do with ordinary wine barrels and wait until I get a new shadow wine barrel before changing. After all, ghost wine Absorbing negative energy is also a step-by-step process, especially before 0.2, try to use the manor's own concentration as much as possible." Daphne understood. Gavin did this to save costs. .
After all, it costs money to maintain the spirit gathering circle.
The higher the ghost index of the spirit-gathering wine cellar, the greater the cost of maintaining the spirit-gathering circle.
Once all seven spirit-gathering wine cellars are up and running, it is initially estimated that at least one hundred thousand gold coins will be spent on maintenance costs per year. This does not include the spells spent by Daphne to set up the spirit-gathering magic circle. Material.
The substantial increase in cost will also mean that the price of ghost wine will rise next year, especially those with high ghost index, which will be several times or even dozens of times higher than ordinary wine.
We’ll see if we can discover more powerful uses of ghost wine in the future, and if anyone has special needs in this regard.
“Let’s go, take me to see it first.” After listening to Daphne’s introduction, Gavin’s curiosity was aroused and he decided to visit the new wine cellar in person.
The new wine cellar is not an expansion of the old wine cellar.
But they are all newly excavated. This is not only to make it easier to arrange the spirit gathering array, but also to make use of its own geography.
Each Juling wine cellar is separated by a stone wall of one meter. This alone can effectively prevent part of the negative energy from escaping.
The new wine cellar is located directly below the main building. It is built in the form of a basement and begins to be expanded downwards.
In fact, this is also the main expansion direction of Weizeme Manor in the future.
Compared to scaling out.
Vertical development is more suitable here.
After all, there are too many secrets here that are not suitable for exposure.
Even if the horror haunted house is not developed, there will be many visitors here in the future. After all, the manor has a good reputation.
Those guests who want to visit here can’t refuse, right?
Another reason is that the land area on the manor is limited.
Although the bearing point has been opened, Gavin is not sure whether the overall coverage of this bearing point is built outside the existing area of the manor.
There must be no problem with the underground one, after all, the old wine cellar is there.
Another advantage of building underground is that the Vizeme Manor is also located on a small rocky hill, which is strong enough and only needs to be excavated on it.
Follow a dark stone staircase and go down thirty steps to a huge stone door.
I walked to the stone door and opened it.
Of course, this stone door, which is half a meter thick, cannot be opened by itself.
It was the two Enlightenment Trees behind the door who pulled away from inside after hearing the instructions.
With them guarding the door, even if dozens of people work together, there is no way to push the stone door open.
Behind the huge stone door is a hall, which is used to station and guard the enlightenment trees. If necessary, two squads of troops can be deployed.
There is a dark passage on the left, right and front of the hall.
In the dark passage on the right, there was a rhythmic clicking sound.
That's the sound of a machine.
That's where the Ghost Textile Factory is.
In the dark passage in the middle, there are roaring sounds from time to time. That is where the wine barrel device research and development room is located.
Compared to the other two channels where movement comes from time to time.
The passage on the left is silent.
It was dark and deep, with bursts of cold wind blowing from the other two passages.
This is a manifestation of the rapid flow of negative energy here.
No need to ask, this is the destination of Gavin's trip - the location of Juling Wine Cellar.
Currently, the spirit-gathering circle in the wine cellar has not been filled with the most critical gems and fully activated. It has caused quite a stir just by relying on its own strength.
But when we actually entered the corridor, we found that apart from being a bit cold, the negative energy here was surprisingly low.
Most of the negative energy was absorbed by those Juling wine cellars with closed stone doors.
There are seven stone chambers in total.
The words ghost index 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 0.5 are marked respectively.
The first three stone doors are already shining with obvious magical light, and all the negative energy is gathering on them.
Although the others are marked and closed with stone doors, they are still ordinary stone chambers. Gavin pushed open the first one. There was no disgusting scene of a room full of skeletons and blood donations. They could only be said to be the easiest and cheapest materials to cast negative energy-related spells. They were not necessary.
Ghost wine is likely to be food in the future, so how could it be possible to use these casting materials.
Gavin also did not allow his territory to become a real ghost.
The Juling Wine Cellar is made up of stone walls, which are rectangular in shape. The walls are inlaid with a large number of shadow wood formations.
Daphne used these shadow wood instead of bones as casting materials. Although many of them were leftover materials from making large appliances, they could not support the large quantity. This was also a great place for shadow wood.
In the rectangular stone chamber, there is only a huge fermentation barrel placed horizontally. The entire body is made of shadow wood. At the top of the stone chamber, there is an unsealed skylight.
Daphne explained on the side: "We are now located directly below the old wine cellar. When the ghost wine is brewed there and the initial fermentation is completed, it can be filled directly through this filling port. Come in, then seal and open the spirit gathering circle.”
Having a new wine cellar does not mean that the old wine cellar is abandoned.
It is divided into upper and lower layers, representing the two steps of the process.
At the same time, one is in the light and the other is in the dark.
If you are bright, you are not afraid of people seeing it; if you are dark, you are not afraid of others seeing it.
You don’t need to look at the other things to know that whether it’s size or appearance, they are all printed in the same mold as here.
The only difference is the concentration of negative energy floating around.
On the 0.5 and 1 side, it is just a little rich, but on the 2 side, it turns into a looming black mist.
Entering it, not only the line of sight will be affected, but even the perception will be blocked to a certain extent.
This has not yet reached their peak state. It is estimated that this is the official opening level of 0.5. When it truly reaches the level of 2, even if the negative energy here does not vaporize, it will be invisible.
Gavin showed a satisfied smile, nodded and said: "Very good, your recent performance has been very good, and you have made great contributions to many things. Without your help, many things would not have been possible." The method is completed. I am a fair and just person. If there is punishment, there will be reward. Tell me, what reward do you want? As long as it is not excessive, I will satisfy you."
He was not lying at the beginning. Keeping Daphne behind is definitely a wise choice.
It is not known whether her nature is evil or not, but her abilities are definitely outstanding.
In fact, not only her, but also the abilities of those drow shadows are relatively top-notch.
Let's put it this way, anyone who can survive and grow up in the fierce competitive environment of the drow that is full of infighting and assassination is an elite.
Those idiots have long been dead.
Faerûn has a wise saying that is recognized by all races. When the drow stop fighting among themselves, unite and face the outside world, the whole world will tremble and surrender at their feet.
But this situation will never happen.
Their beliefs and their nature are destined to focus most of their energy on internal fighting rather than external fights.
Even if he turned into a shadow, this could not be completely changed under Gavin's pressure.
Take any one of these drow shadows and they are all outstanding.
But if two are put together, what appears is not that one plus one is equal to two or greater than two, but less than two.
The more people gather together, the more serious it is that they hold each other back.
Now when Gavin arranges tasks, he rarely arranges several drow shadows together. Instead, he spreads them out as much as possible, and one person is responsible for one, or he directly arranges the carriages and horses and asks them to each lead a team of personnel. , showing a competitive situation, stimulating their potential, no matter who wins, it is themselves who will ultimately benefit.
Daphne was stunned, Gavin's sudden reward caught her a little off guard.
After all, I am not the opponent’s subordinate, but a prisoner.
Working for him is a matter of course.
It is only natural that there will be no reward.
When it comes to wishes, being resurrected and regaining freedom must be at the top of the list.
But based on her understanding of the man in front of her, this wish was absolutely impossible to grant to her.
No.
This wish cannot even be said.
Bringing it out means that you still have a rebellious mentality.
A good thing turned out to be a bad thing.
Greater power cannot be asked for directly.
This man has a strong desire to control, especially those with evil backgrounds, so he must be careful when using it.
As long as he shows his ability, he needs to use himself, and he will naturally give himself rights.
This is obviously the case with the mercenaries who were surrendered earlier.
You should take the opportunity to accumulate your own chips.
Daphne's eyes lit up, and her virtual body began to become solid - the transformation of reality into reality, which was a new ability she had just gained.
In her physical form, Delphine is on the thin side, barely 1.6 meters tall, with a waist as slender as a willow branch, skin like chocolate with a natural oily sheen, waist-length silver hair, and a chest. She was majestic and tall, befitting her petite figure, and was wearing a black and white maid outfit.
This is the latest style designed by Nicole, the Pixie Girl. It is said that the idea came from the man in front of her.
The black material is made of shadow yarn, and the white one is made of spider silk shadow yarn.
They are all magical and semi-magical fabrics produced by the Ghost Textile Factory of Vizeme Manor. They can be transformed into reality and reality according to Daphne's ability.
