Then came the personnel teleportation.
Those with dragon veins and dragon blood kobolds who have repair skills and complete repair skills are the first choice. Several territories were searched and searched and scraped together.
Gavin himself was shocked. He had hundreds of kobolds under his command, and most of them had repair skills, accounting for 90%.
The Laughing Bandit Hotel is very dilapidated, and the repair technique is of relatively little use. Moreover, teleportation techniques must be saved, and it is impossible to send so many kobolds there.
Gavin streamlined and streamlined, taking only ten kobolds with full repair and ten with repair, plus the girl priest Anna.
She has grown rapidly under Daraumazaranda recently.
Although there are no major wars in Darauma, some small-scale conflicts still continue. Especially when they actively seek war, there are still many monster tribes in the wild for them to destroy. After several wars, under the guidance of the way of war, With the grace of the elite, Anna and Nicole directly completed their rapid transformation and entered the ranks of extraordinary beings.
Of course, compared to those who grow up step by step, they are out-and-out quick products, and this is clearly demonstrated in Luna.
Except for the special abilities given to them by professional level and the basic spells inherited from the magic network, there is nothing else.
Anna is somewhat better. After all, she grew up in the church and received an extremely orthodox priestly education, which gave her a certain foundation.
Nicole and Luna have become monks halfway and have a serious lack of basic knowledge. There is no way to do this quickly, they must accumulate and learn bit by bit.
This kind of quick learning is not without any benefits. At least the spell slots that can be used, professional level enhancement, professional expertise, and a series of other things have been improved. Some basic spells can also be used. It will be easier to learn basic knowledge. a lot of.
This situation is like learning elementary school knowledge when you are eight or nine years old and waiting to learn it when you are eighteen or nine years old. The degree of difficulty is different, because many of your own things have improved as your career level increases. .
It is precisely because of this that further stimulated Gavin to pursue the professional level.
Another important construction race is the woad tree people. Their wood-bending skills are very useful when rebuilding hotels.
Even magic is not omnipotent.
The complete repair technique can only restore those scarred items made of ordinary materials to their original condition, but it cannot repair those magic items, such as wands, staffs, canes, etc. This is often said that magic cannot be repaired. Magic, because magic will conflict with each other in this process.
In addition, Complete Restoration is powerless against items that are completely twisted, burned, dissociated, shattered, melted, vaporized, decayed, etc., nor can it be used to repair living things, such as constructs.
If it were something real, a complete repair technique would keep it intact as before, and there would be no loss in this world.
Of course, this refers to the complete repair technique performed by ordinary priests or spell-like abilities. If it is performed by a god, even if it is an incarnation, it is another concept.
Then again, Shen Zhuan can completely use his own divine power to shape brand new items, and there is no need to use divine power to repair them at all - Ms. Strategy's previous behavior in Darauma is proof of this. After she left, she at least stayed there. Three hundred excellent heavy war horses, a full set of knight heavy armor, and quasi-extraordinary knight seedlings. The warriors who were summoned afterwards were all recruited by Zalanda and prepared to be trained intensively. I believe that it won’t be long before she has one more warrior. Real elite.
The restoration and complete restoration techniques will mainly focus on the stone parts of the main body of the hotel. Most of them were damaged, cracked, and collapsed, but were not completely destroyed.
The wooden part needs to be reprocessed.
But Gavin underestimated the stubbornness of the woad tree people. It was okay to let them protect Mystic Noel, but 99% of them would not be happy to let them leave their beloved forest and work as senior carpenters in human villages.
Even the more liberal Blue Crown and Green Crown were not very cooperative in this matter.
Gavin worked hard, presented facts and reason, and made various compromises and promises, and finally managed to get five woad tree people to come out. Whether they can stay there remains to be seen.
In desperation, Gavin could only recruit the Pixie Druids to make up the number. In comparison, they were easier to talk to, especially the three Pixie Druids who were replaced by dragon-shaped aircraft carrier insects. Now He has already used it very smoothly, and directly dispatched them from Vizeme Manor to Amphier Village. Their dragon-shaped aircraft carrier insects are also a powerful combat force in case of emergency.
As for the natural heavy crane trees and enlightenment trees, Gavin did not transfer them from the territory, but planned to deal with them on the spot in Amphiel Village.
Gavin had deployed a large number of people here, and the three-day period he had agreed with Gao Se's mother had also arrived.
In the past three days, he has not been completely squatting on the territory, but mainly on the Anfield Village side.
He did not wait for Veranika to gather all her unconventional subordinates and make a shocking debut.
Doing that, apart from satisfying your own vanity, doesn't make much sense at all. Kobolds, in particular, are a monster race with a bad reputation among humans. Under normal circumstances, they will be messed up when they appear in the village. Beating them to death, especially when the whole team appears together, will cause great commotion, Gavin knows this very well.
So after the first group of kobolds were in place, Gavin took Anna to set up a free stall - a free repair stall - at the intersection of Marande, in front of the obsidian horse sculpture Great Shallan.
"Come and see, everyone, come and see, there are kobolds and dragon-veined kobolds at the Marande intersection, repairing pots and pans, scissors and kitchen knives, tables, chairs and benches for free."
"Mr. Gavin Nott, a large wine merchant in the valley, in order to benefit the villagers of Amphier Village, he brought his dragon-veined kobold subordinates to do free repairs for everyone. If you have anything that needs repairing, please go there quickly. We can repair it every day. The quantity is limited, first come first served, so hurry up.”
"Those who are walking by or passing by, don't miss it. Come and see this rare magic maintenance scene."
Gavin only used a few dozen apples and hired the best errand boys and trumpets in Amphail Village - the children with runny noses and bare buttocks.
In just a few minutes, the message he wanted to convey spread throughout the streets and alleys of Anfield Village.
Most people don't really believe what these little brats say.
But the entire Anfield Village is only so big. When their attention was drawn to the Marande intersection, many people could directly see the situation there. When they saw that there were three floors inside and three floors outside, When the first floor is crowded with people, many people can't help but move their feet and come over to take a look. When they see the situation inside, they can no longer move their eyes away, and they follow the group and let out bursts of exclamations.
Great Shallan.
The always colorful obsidian horse statue has a new look, including its castrated male symbol. As it raises its hooves and neighs, it is displayed to everyone in a grand manner, integrated, as if it has never been lost, just like it was just now The way it looks when it's carved.
Under the obsidian horse statue, a group of people were sitting.
The one in the middle is none other than Mr. Gavin Knott, the biggest celebrity in Amphail Village these two days. Even those bare-chested children can recite his series of names, needless to say.
Sitting on his right is an extremely tall woman with long and straight thighs. She is taller than most people even when she is sitting. She has three hair colors and strange horse ears. She is Luna, Mr. Gavin. His companion and mount is said to be a druid.
Sitting on his left is a cute girl with a round face and two eyes that curve like crescent moons when she smiles. She makes people feel friendly at a glance, just like the girl next door.
Then there were four more kobolds sitting on each side of them. These eight kobolds seemed to be a little different from the legend. They were a bit too tall and strong. They could stand up to those half-grown children, and they could be seen under the smooth scales. With clear muscle outlines, shouldn't all kobolds be the size of a puppy, only capable of barking?
They also look very peaceful, and they don't behave like monsters in the wilderness, but as polite as specially educated humans.
No, many humans can't do this. They must have received professional training.
This feeling is very strange, like a monkey sitting and lying down, more serious than a human being.
But it is undeniable that at least the fear and rejection are not as heavy as they are for other monster races.
Especially after seeing what they are doing now.
Every little shabby item, as the magic light flashed in their hands, immediately looked brand new, as if it was freshly baked.
Every time a piece of work is repaired, the surrounding crowd can't help but let out an ooh, and several people's faces can't help but show expressions of surprise.
In Amphel Village, the use of magic is not too rare. After all, it is backed by the largest city in the entire continent. Although it is a countryside, it is not completely a remote place. If nothing else, on the first day Gavin came, I met groups of female mages.
This is not unique to the Ronhearne family. Other families have their own air mage patrols and escorts. It’s just that the racecourse in the direction Gavin came from belongs to the Ronhearne family, so it was the six sisters he met. , if he had come to Amphire from other directions, he would have met people from other families and other horse farms.
There is even a colorful magic neon sign hanging at the door of Mother Gothel's Happy Hall. When night comes, it will light up. Not only will it emit colorful colors, but a beautiful escort girl with the same proportions as ordinary people will also appear at the door. The phantom, posing there, extended an invitation to those around it, inviting them into the Hall of Joy.
This is the latest magical technology from the City of Glory. It was purchased by Gowther's mother at a huge price. At that time, it caused a huge sensation in Amphail Village. At night, the place was filled with people, and it looked like it was half a night away. .
But after a few years, the people in the village have long been accustomed to it, and usually don't even look at it. When the businessmen passing by and seeing this kind of magic device for the first time stop and marvel, they often curl their lips involuntarily, secretly thinking in their hearts. Call him a bumpkin.
The magic breeding methods in the process of domesticating war horses are also different in each horse farm, and each has its own box-pressing methods.
But applying magic to repair everyday items like this is definitely rare.
Ordinary people don't know how to do it, and spell casters don't have time to do such trivial things.
Even if he pays money to invite him, many arrogant spell casters will consider it an offense to him.
All in all, the use of magic is very powerful in Faerun, especially in the daily lives of ordinary people.
I had been dealing with various fey beings with innate spell-casting abilities before, so suddenly returning to a human village was a particularly serious feeling.
And this is Gavin's opportunity. Neither he nor Anna nor Luna shy away from this. In their eyes, magic is just a tool. How to apply it and who to use it on, they don't care. Those dragon veins Not to mention the kobolds, they have no concept of this at all.
It is human nature to be curious and greedy for petty gains.
You can squeeze out shoes for a few discounted products.
Not to mention this kind of free magic repair, turning waste into treasure.
After living for a long time, who doesn’t have a broken pot, bowl, ladle, and pot? It would be a pity to throw them away, but it would be somewhat useless to keep them at home.
At first they were wary of the strange appearance of those dragon-veined kobolds, but when they saw their neighbors arriving with a pile of rags and leaving with a pile of brand-new tools, they could no longer hold back. , ran home like flying, looking for anything that needed to be repaired. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, just take the opportunity to repair it first. If you missed it, there would be no such shop in this village.
I saw a villager carrying the house door that had been cracked open several cracks and carrying it over.
Gavin stood up in a hurry and said loudly: "We only focus on repairing small parts here. If you have doors, beams, furniture, etc. at home that are inconvenient to move, go to the Antler Pot Tavern and register with the waitress. We will come to your door for free." Don’t be anxious about maintenance. We will continue this kind of people-benefit activity for a long time, and we have more kobold maintenance personnel on the way to ensure that everyone can enjoy the benefits."
There is no free lunch in the world.
When there is a free lunch to eat, it often means that the other party has ulterior motives.
Gavin is naturally no exception, but what he seeks is not material things, but the habits and acceptance of these villagers.
Let these kobold construction workers integrate into the life of Amphiel Village without any trouble.
"Free door-to-door repairs? Haha... Do you really dare to let a group of unknown monsters come to your home to do repairs? Aren't you afraid that at night, they will walk into your door? Will they cut your necks and then kill you? Take all the property for yourself? Is there really such a good thing as free in the world? Even if there is? Why is it your turn? It’s our village’s turn?"
A sinister voice came from the crowd.
This caused many villagers in Amphail Village who were originally interested to stop in their tracks.
yes!
They were so blinded by the free maintenance that they forgot about it.
What if they tampered with their belongings during the repair process? Especially for this kind of magic maintenance, even if they tamper with it, it will be done without anyone noticing, and they will not be able to notice it at all.
Especially when it comes to the repair of houses, beds, doors and windows, etc., this involves your own wealth and life.
Nothing can withstand scrutiny, especially things involving the monster race, which will magnify doubts infinitely.
Following the sound, a middle-aged man's face flashed among the crowd.
But Gavin, who has an extraordinary memory, instantly recalled his name and identity.
Parost Galli.
He is the owner of a carpentry shop in Garls and a professional carpenter in the village of Anfield. His main business is to repair beds and sell furniture. He also recycles dilapidated carriages and then disassembles the accessories and sells them to people on the long road. Business travel, especially the latter, is his main business, and he is an out-and-out second-hand car dealer.
His free maintenance business undoubtedly touched the interests of the other party, not only taking away a lot of business that originally belonged to him, but also killing many potential customers.
Anyone else would not feel comfortable.
Gavin, who wanted to understand what was going on, did not confront him tit for tat, but said loudly: "It doesn't matter if you don't trust us, the days are long, we can do it step by step, there is one thing you should know, I am going to talk to Anfei We need to have a foothold here, and I am going to rebuild the Laughing Bandit Hotel.
Although this hotel has become an ownerless property, it is still part of the village. If it were to be owned for free, I would not be able to overcome this hurdle in my heart, so I launched this free maintenance activity to give back to the villagers in the entire village.
We will continue this kind of activity. If you need anything in the future, please go directly to the Laughing Bandit Hotel reconstruction site.
But it can’t be too much every day. We will repair one large item and three or five small items for the villagers at most. After all, we still have to rebuild the hotel. "
No one dares to eat a free lunch.
Then make it valuable, but the villagers do not need to pay for this kind of money themselves, it is a pile of ownerless ruins.
To this end, Gavin also temporarily formulated a follow-up free maintenance plan, giving these villagers a complete repair spell and three or five repair spells every day, using the kobold's spell-like ability to do this at no cost.
This kind of continuous small favor will make the villagers continue to have a good impression of them.
"Let me just say, there is no such thing as a good thing in the sky. It turns out that this is the root cause. It's no wonder."
"I have heard about this matter a long time ago. Mother Gao Se has been helping to organize this matter since yesterday. She has visited several stores for this purpose and said that she is planning to entertain the entire village tomorrow night at the intersection of Marande Road. people."
"It would indeed be much easier to rebuild the Laughing Bandit Hotel with the help of magic."
"Mr. Gavin, we have no objection to you rebuilding the Laughing Bandit Hotel, but we can't cheat you. There are some things that we must tell you in advance. The Laughing Bandit Hotel has been idle until now, and no one has touched it. It's not without reason. It’s because there is a ghost haunting here, and a ghost named the Weeping Witch often haunts here.”
"Speaking of which, we haven't seen her for a long time. If we rebuild the Laughing Bandit Hotel, will it stimulate her and make her appear more frequently and harass everyone?"
"That shouldn't be the case, right? She usually stays in hotels and rarely comes to the village."
"We don't need to worry about this matter. Since Mother Gowther is helping, it means that she has already told Mr. Gavin about this matter. He must not care. After all, he is so rich. Is there anything that cannot be solved with money?"
“Money is good for dealing with people, but is it also good for dealing with ghosts?”
Gavin successfully diverted the attention of the villagers from the kobolds to the Laughing Bandit Inn.
