Chapter 501 Goodbye over wine (end of this volume)
“If there is a need for bricks and stones, etc., if it is close to Amphiel Village, please contact Goss to coordinate the solution. If the distance is too far, the transportation cost will be too high. If it's high, just buy it nearby." Gavin turned around. He said to Goss, "If you have any problems that cannot be solved here in the future, you can directly consult Ms. Gowther. Her orders must be strictly implemented."
Goss has some cleverness, but there are some big things. , you can’t count on him.
The main thing Gavin values is his loyalty and his unhesitating execution of his orders. This one advantage is worth tens of millions.
"Yes." Goss responded loudly, "I will definitely treat Ms. Gowther as the lord's wife, and her orders are second only to the lord."
Pfft.
Gao Se's mother couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I found that I kind of like this little guy. With him here, it will be a lot more fun, haha... Your abacus is really precise. The renovation construction team has its own, and now it has its own quarry. If you have more logging sites, no one else can even think of making a penny out of your hands.”
“ This is exactly what I want to say next." Gavin kicked a huge head out from under the table, "I have killed the speed roc, its lair has been occupied by me, and the kobold servants have also been taken over. They are all under my control, so Timber really doesn’t have to worry about it in the future.”
It was Gavin’s careful consideration to tell Craven and Gowther’s mother the news.
Not only did he fully consider the character of the two people, but also fully considered the emotional and interest entanglements between himself and the two people. Generally speaking, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
Because this Southern Clapt is priceless only in your own hands.
If it were left in the hands of Mother Gothel and Father Craven, it would be tasteless and worthless.
They lack the means to effectively control the kobolds, and they do not have the ability to develop and utilize the garden farm. Don’t forget that it is wrapped deep in the Krept Garden Forest, and A wild magical area shrouds the surrounding area.
If you want to move people into large-scale development, it can be said to be full of difficulties. It takes a long time, but in the end, it is likely that the harvest is not as big as the effort.
This is also the reason why many seemingly valuable mines and industries have been abandoned.
If Gavin had no kobolds or fey in his hands, and relied entirely on humans, he would have no other options. He would loot the place, take the heads of the rocs to the racecourse owners in exchange for bonuses, and then abandon the place.
Creven, who had been leisurely eating vegetables and drinking wine, couldn't help but put down his knife and fork at this moment, and said with a little surprise: "You kid is hiding deep enough, and you did a big deal quietly. Buying and selling, how did you do it?”
“His abilities are mainly to distort and hijack spells. Just avoid this, I happen to have a weapon that can restrain it." Gavin took out the Death Roar, slapped it on the table and said, "Those kobold defectors didn't really defect. It's a play I arranged, specifically to lure Ji Peng into taking the bait. Once he comes out of his territory, he will Come on, then don’t even think about going back.”
“What? Did you arrange for the kobold defector?” Gao Se’s mother stared at the boss, “You guys really look like me. You were deceived, but I still feel sorry for you, and you have lost so many good kobold craftsmen!”
“ It's not that I want to hide it from the lady, but I'm afraid that someone in the village who colludes with Ji Peng will tip him off." After Gavin defended himself, he continued, "But I hope you two can keep this secret for me. Don’t tell outsiders for now, I will send someone to pretend to be Ji Peng and keep everything as it is.”
Mother Gothel and Craven were both smart people, and they knew everything. They asked at the same time: "Do you want to occupy that roc nest?"
"Yes." Gavin admitted openly. He said, "There is a dwarf castle called South Klept, and there is a silver mine that has been mined again by Ji Peng and the kobold servants. Its value far exceeds the ten-dollar reward offered by the racecourse owners. Ten thousand gold coins, so I have sent people to operate there.”
“I am really old, and my thinking cannot keep up with the development speed of you young people.” Craven couldn’t help but sigh. , "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be unimaginable. In just half a month, you renovated a large hotel, rebuilt a quarry with kobolds, and killed a troublesome dragon. The vein creature occupies a silver mine. Many racecourse owners who have been operating in Amphier Village for a lifetime, no, it is the racecourse family that has been operating for several generations, have been overtaken by you. If they knew, they would definitely die of shame. "
"It's not that your thinking can't keep up with young people," Gao Se's mother said with a smile, "It's that the young people in front of you are not ordinary people. He should have felt it when he came to your tavern on the first day in Amphail Village."
"Yes, I still can't remember what happened that day." Craven's thoughts were unknown. Unknowingly, it was back to half a month ago, when the young man in front of me was led by the female mages and entered Xuanlu. Everything seemed like yesterday, and it seemed like it happened a long, long time ago.
"We got married over wine, so today let's say goodbye over wine." Gavin said as he began to make preparations, and soon he was in an extraordinary state.
Holy shit!
Creven shivered uncontrollably and bent the knife and fork. For a would-be legend, this was a sign of serious emotional loss.
Gao Se's mother jumped up from her seat.
Both of them were not ordinary people, and they recognized Gavin's current situation at a glance.
A monster with six extraordinary attributes appeared before them alive.
Even if it is accumulated through spells and special abilities, it is not something that ordinary people can do.
How old is the young man in front of you? The professional level is not even extraordinary?
How is this possible?
Did they make a mistake? In front of them was not a person at all, but a powerful dragon, or a similar legendary creature disguised in disguise?
Gavin ignored the shock of the two people, but focused on mixing wine wholeheartedly. What he was mixing now was naturally the wine of emotion brewed by drinking with friends.
While his hands were constantly mixing drinks, what he was recalling in his mind was every bit of contact he had with the two of them after arriving here.
Although his cheap teacher Craven didn’t teach him too much, he did lead him into the door of bartending without too many selfish thoughts. It was because of his bartending skills as a stepping stone that he quickly integrated into Amphail Village. Even the special ability he is currently using is thanks to this incident.
In the following days, Craven basically didn't do much for himself, but his shadow could be seen in many places.
For example, when he was engaged in free maintenance and had a conflict with Palost, he stood silently at the door of the Antler Pot Tavern.
For example, when the village of Amphile questioned his promise to build a road, he stood up without hesitation and blocked all his taverns.
He is like a silent father. He is not good at expressing his feelings. He just watches from a distance. When he encounters difficulties and setbacks, he does not hesitate to lend a helping hand. When you succeed and achieve glory, he is just in the corner, silently toasting in celebration.
This long-lost way of expressing feelings makes people indulge in it unconsciously.
As for Gao Se's mother's selfless help to him, even a fool can see that it is by no means a simple friendship for interests. But when it comes to the relationship between men and women, it is far from that level. I can only say two things. People are very compatible, and they are born to be compatible. As for the role Gavin's charisma and special abilities play in it, even Gavin himself can't tell clearly. After all, these things have become an integral part of who he is now. , and it is impossible to look at them separately.
All in all, it is a very pleasant thing to get along with and cooperate with Gao Se's mother.
He does not want this relationship to come to an end, but rather regards it as a beginning to launch more cooperation and establish a deeper relationship.
When Gavin finished reminiscing, he mixed the wine, pushed it in front of the two of them and said: "This wine is called Yu Yun, and it contains my most sincere feelings for you two, but there is one thing. , I must say that this wine is made with one of my special abilities and has a real magical effect. , will deepen the bond and relationship between us, so please consider carefully whether to drink it. No matter what choice you make, I will have no objection.”
“It’s okay if you don’t say it. , I have to drink this wine." Gao Se's mother couldn't help laughing, picked up the glass boldly, and drank it all.
"No matter what, I will personally taste and evaluate my student's new wine." Craven also had no hesitation.
The special ability of making friends with wine is not directly blended with the finished wine. It can be blended with the finished wine that Gavin is proficient in.
It can be integrated into the mind and the aftertaste.
In Gavin's opinion, if you want this kind of wine to have the greatest effect, you don't have to go into a roadside tavern and invite a stranger to drink, because although the magic effect will work, it is also the most effective. For the bad ones, it would be great to be able to reverse half of the favorability level at best.
On the contrary, after both parties have established a certain emotional foundation and gone through countless ups and downs, sublimating on this foundation can maximize its effect.
Many things in Faerûn are quantified, including comparative sensory cognition such as favorability.
In daily life, few people mention this kind of thing. After all, it is not static, but constantly changing based on the interaction between two people and the intertwined emotions.
Sometimes, a small thing can make people turn against each other, and a glass of wine and a good conversation may heat up the relationship between two people, but as time goes by, it may deepen or weaken.
This quantitative level is mainly prepared for magic. Many magics can directly control people's senses and emotions, and usually the spell level is not high.
For example, charming humans, charming monsters, etc. are all first- or second-level spells.
They are often able to change the subject's perception, directly changing from an enemy to a close friend or guardian.
Strong is strong, and it is usually time-sensitive. It usually does not exceed twenty-four hours, and a very few last until it is lifted.
Some will also serve as a lure, turning the victims into their followers. When the dog demon controls the wild wolves or hobgoblins, it usually combines special abilities with intimidation methods.
Emotional attitudes are roughly divided into nine levels: extreme hatred, hatred, hostility, unfriendliness, indifference, friendliness, kindness, respect, and reverence.
When you meet people for the first time, they are usually in the strange and cold stage in the middle, with no good feelings or bad feelings. As your words, deeds, and actions begin to show diversification, either good feelings or bad feelings will appear. Disgust, or no feeling at all.
The place with the highest favorability towards Gavin is undoubtedly Nectar Village, even more so than the kobolds in the Dragon Oak Territory. Because of his high starting point, he was directly sent to Respect at a destiny milestone, but was instead locked forcibly. That kind of thing.
No matter how much Gavin behaves, even if it breaks through their bottom line, this attitude will not change, but there is no hope of improvement.
Of course Gavin was not stupid to that extent. Although he used Picklings in the future, he tried his best not to exceed their bottom line, or used roundabout ways to make full use of their own characteristics to mobilize them. of positivity.
This has made his reputation in Huami Village slowly and continuously grow. Even if he has not reached the level of respect, he has reached the peak of respect.
Gavin's reputation in Amphiel Village is now barely friendly. In the early stage of Creven's friendship, and in the late stage of mother Gowther's friendship, it can touch the edge of friendliness.
This is just Gavin's personal rough estimate. I haven't heard of any magic or tool that can directly see other people's affection for me.
Gavin had a special purpose in developing and mixing the Aftertaste cocktail.
He wanted to make full use of Filancini's absolutely lonely life of imprisonment and take advantage of it. The aftertaste of the five glasses of wine would make her repeatedly recall the feeling of the two of them getting along for five days. It will fade after a month of separation, but will continue to heat up.
But when this cocktail was prepared, he found that it was more suitable than observing the mind to become the carrier of the special ability of meeting friends with wine.
This socializing with friends over wine follows the principle of life of exchanging sincerity for sincerity, and Yu Yun interprets this to the extreme.
Gavin will get as many responses as he puts into it.
After the aftertaste of the cup, both Craven, who was extremely reserved, and Mother Gowther, who looked like she didn't care about anything, couldn't help but burst into tears.
Because the emotion contained in it directly touched the softest part of their hearts.
By the time they recovered from this emotional shock, Gavin was gone.
Gother's mother couldn't help but ask Gos, who was crying on the side: "Where is your lord?"
"The lord...the lord...has left...he Say, he said, what he wants to say is already in the wine There is no need to say goodbye in person... Tusheng is sad, and it is not a separation of life and death. He will come back at any time. If you miss him, just let us know and you can come to our territory as a guest." Although Goss choked with sobs, his words were still there. Translated clearly.
As for why Goss was crying, you would know without asking.
Because he was also holding a wine glass tightly in his hand, Gavin obviously mixed him a glass of Yuyun.
After all, drinking with friends can be used three times a day, while the extraordinary state can only be entered once a day, so it is wasted if not used.
The superior-subordinate relationship between him and Goss destined Gavin’s feelings to be magnified tenfold with Goss.
Gavin just recalled the process of getting to know each other and what happened, and added a little care and concern for him.
It was enough to make Goss shed tears of gratitude, and his affection for Gavin directly reached the peak of reverence, full of the kind that he would not hesitate to die for him.
“How can people dislike such a considerate and good boy?” Craven sighed quietly, “He is afraid that we will lose our composure after drinking and be embarrassed to face him.”
< br>If you have deep feelings for a person, you can't help but help him to beautify and defend him.
Gavin's decision to leave without saying goodbye has now become an out-and-out advantage.
It doesn't matter whether he thinks so.
The key is that Craven thinks so. After his explanation, Gowther's mother also thinks so. She nodded involuntarily and said: "It seems that we didn't help the wrong person from the beginning. In this world, such an innocent young man It is indeed rare for people to know that their feelings have not been in vain after a cup of wine. How good is this cocktail to yours? "
"Little girl, are you laughing at me?" Crane Wen glanced at Gao Se's mother angrily, "This cocktail is far beyond the upper limit of my ability. I will never be able to make this kind of wine in my life. You can also see the state of his mixing wine. It is an extraordinary state." , this is an extraordinary cocktail, if it is not in that state, even he cannot make it."
As a top bartender, Craven has a very vicious look, which can be seen at a glance. The secret of the finish.
When Gavin's previous state was mentioned, Gowther's mother couldn't help but fell silent.
The extraordinary state is an existence that they can only look up to in this life.
They had only heard of it before, never seen it.
Even if there are, most of them appear in those extraordinary or legendary races, not in a human being.
This incident somewhat broke their cognition, leaving them shocked and speechless, further catalyzing the effect of the aftertaste cocktail.
A man who is less than half her age has become someone she needs to look up to. Perhaps, it won't be long before he will grow into that legendary figure.
This realization made Gao Se's mother's heart become hot again, because they now have a good relationship foundation and have cooperative projects.
If anything, Gao Se's mother was originally only prepared to invest a lot of energy in this cooperation project.
So now, she is ready to invest in it regardless of all the investment, and the Happy Hall as the foundation will be pushed to the back.
After understanding the idea in her heart, Gao Se's mother couldn't help but encourage: "Dad, we are going to start a new hotel model. Once successful, it will be an unprecedented big business. Do you want to Also get involved? "
She knows very well that Craven has a wide range of friends in the Glory City. Even many of the secret lords are closely related to him. With him joining, some things will be convenient. a lot of.
Creven shook his head and said: "Don't take my chances. I have many friends and enemies. Joining rashly may not be a good thing for you, but the girls in my tavern , you can lead them appropriately. In the past, they might have been able to stay in one place peacefully, but now that their horizons have been raised and opened by Gavin, it is difficult to hold back.”
After thinking about it, he suggested: "Since we are going to open a hotel, my bartending and knife-throwing skills are somewhat useful. If your girls are willing to learn, they can send them to me."
"Okay." Gowther's mother naturally would not refuse the kindness of a quasi-legendary warrior.
The lingering aftertaste of the cocktail requires the taster to savor it slowly afterwards.
The instigator, Gai Wen, was already thousands of miles away, officially launching the plan that had been in the works for two months - the Thousand Miles Migration.
