"By the sacred will of Ilmat, the God of Suffering, everything will return to its original state."
As Anna's last chant fell to the ground, a rich sacred light emitted from her hands.
These lights seemed to have the magical power to reverse time. Wherever they passed, traces of time or man-made destruction all faded away, revealing the original color of the green-gray stone walls where they had just been built.
This brand-new situation, placed in a dilapidated and ruin-like environment, forms a sharp visual contrast.
When the holy light in Anna's hand completely dissipated, the three-meter-high bluestone wall in front of her had been restored to at least three or four meters, no less than ten square meters.
What she used at first was not an ordinary complete repair technique.
Instead, a more powerful super-magic feat is added: the five-ring complete repair technique of spell expansion.
The so-called spell bits are unitized and mobilizable magic energy. One ring can mobilize one ring, seven rings can mobilize seven rings, and so on. Different spell bit levels correspond to different spell levels, such as a The first-level spell slot is used to cast first-level spells, the second-level spell slot is used to cast second-level spells, and so on.
High-level spell slots can use low-level spells, that is, second-level spell slots can cast first-level spells, but low-level spell slots cannot cast high-level spells.
Because when it is high and low, it will only cause the magic power to dissipate, and when it is low and high, it means that the magic power is not enough and cannot be cast. As for the merging of two first-level spell slots into a second-level spell slot, it is also not feasible.
In order to avoid waste, there are special super-magic feats that are used in conjunction with low-level spells, allowing them to use high-level spell slots to exert power comparable to high-level spells.
Super magic expertise is mainly divided into nine categories: spell potentiation, spell range enhancement, spell delay, spell upgrading, spell maximum effectiveness, spell prompting, spell silent casting, spell silent casting, and spell expansion.
The main function of spell expansion is to double the area of influence of the spell. For example, the expanded fireball spell has an explosion envelope diameter of 24 meters, compared with only 12 meters originally. Other effects remain unchanged, but after expansion, It requires the use of a spell slot that is three levels higher than the original one, which turns it into a sixth-level spell.
The same goes for extended total prosthetics.
Under normal circumstances, Anna at level 10 can repair three cubic meters of items, but now it directly becomes six cubic meters.
Don't think that six cubic meters is small, and the object is not solid bluestone. It is three-dimensional. If converted into a fifty centimeter thick bluestone wall, it becomes twelve square meters. Generally, buildings are about three meters, that is, one side Four meters of bluestone wall.
Anna can now perform three extended perfect repair techniques and twelve ordinary perfect repair techniques in a day. She can repair thirty-six meters of a fifty centimeter thick and three meter high bluestone wall by herself.
She alone can repair as much as ten dragon-blooded kobold warlocks with an average level of four.
This is the advantage of high professional level.
Faerun's naming of professional levels is very knowledgeable.
The extraordinary is beyond the ordinary.
This otherworldliness refers not only to combat effectiveness, but also to all aspects, including when it is put into construction and production.
But if you want to enter the extraordinary threshold, except for those born with extraordinary races, it is too difficult for ordinary people.
Many people spend their entire lives doing nothing and can only look up.
Those who can reach transcendence within ten years are all super geniuses and super influential people.
Therefore, Zalanda has a cheating artifact in her hands.
Even so, the speed of cultivating extraordinary people is not as fast as expected.
In order to send Anna and Nicole to transcendence, Zalanda wiped out at least ten monster tribes with more than 1,000 people in Darauma. For hundreds of kilometers around, there were no monster tribes with more than 100 people. Those who were not wiped out Yes, he has already run away.
It was just dawn, and Gavin and the others had completed the magic part of the repair work on the first day. A rough calculation showed that they had repaired a total of 500 square meters of bluestone wall, which was equivalent to one-third of the first floor. One is more than enough.
There were exclamations one after another on the street.
"Come and see, everyone, come and see, Mr. Gavin and his team have already started their repair work. The speed is really amazing. It's only half the night and they are almost finished repairing the first floor? If they go at this speed, wouldn't it be? Can the hotel be restored in less than ten days?"
"This is a magic repair, can it be fast? Especially with this kind of investment regardless of cost, the effect is of course amazing. I think your estimated time is conservative. Didn't you hear what Mr. Gavin said? This is just for their maintenance team. In part, there will be new maintenance personnel arriving one after another, and the speed will definitely be improved."
"Your idea is a bit too optimistic. Haven't you seen that many of the repaired areas are not connected into one piece? There are also more seriously dilapidated areas in the middle. This shows that even magic is not omnipotent. In the end, ordinary magic has to be used. Make repairs in other ways, in which case the speed will slow down."
"It makes sense. This kind of repair work becomes more difficult toward the back, especially where the damage is more severe."
"Not only that, magic is not omnipotent. They can still use this method to repair those stone buildings, but there is no way to repair those burned interiors, furniture, etc. They must build new ones. In Before that, it was just an empty shell.”
"Hey, this problem is a problem for others, but for Mr. Gavin, it is a piece of cake. What can't you buy with money? Timber from Neverwinter, furniture from Tethyr, carpets from Calimshan ...Tsk..."
"Ha, I hear jealousy, would you like to go over and have a look?"
"Forget it, I heard them say that last night, there were not only crying sounds, but also weird and gloomy music. Several people were scared to death. Who knows what the crying witch thought when the hotel was rebuilt? Want me? Look, we’d better stay away from here during this period.”
"Yes, although Mr. Gavin is kind-hearted, the Weeping Witch is not under his control. It is better for us to keep a proper distance."
Soon the outside of the hotel was crowded with onlookers.
This kind of large-scale repair and reconstruction using magic is rare. Its super speed amazed the villagers.
Coincidentally, all the onlookers were on the other side of the long road. Let alone coming in, they did not dare to get too close. There were a few bold naked children who wanted to get closer, but were dragged over by their parents. They were slapped several times on the buttocks, and everyone cried heartbrokenly. Not only did their parents not feel sorry for them, but they took the opportunity to warn them that if they dared to come near the hotel again, their buttocks would be spanked into four pieces.
The Weeping Witch is still quite a deterrent in Amphail Village, especially Gavin's behavior of playing a ghost movie to the ghost last night. I don't know if the ghost scared the ghost. Anyway, the villagers who overheard it were scared. Word of mouth Under the chant, no one wanted to get close.
However, there were some who were bold, and Gao Se's mother was one of them. She yawned and walked out of the back door of the Happy Hall and went directly to the side of the hotel.
There is an alley between the two buildings, and they will be considered close neighbors from now on.
Gao Se's mother, who was awakened from her sleep, was just like Gavin when she first met her. She was wearing a loose white gauze nightgown, with her small and graceful figure looming underneath. People couldn't help but guess whether she still looked like her. Just like last time, we went into battle in a vacuum.
Her long, floor-length hair was spread in such a messy manner, and her steps were surprisingly light, like drifting, and incredibly fast. In a whoosh, she crossed the alley and entered the hotel.
Many villagers only saw a white shadow and did not see Gao Se's mother clearly at all.
"Ghost!"
"Ghost!"
"Weeping Witch! Weeping Witch!"
Several timid people screamed on the spot, causing quite a commotion among the onlookers.
Many of them were slapped on the spot and scolded in their ears.
"You're a ghost. Where did this ghost come from in broad daylight? It was clearly Gao Se's mother just now. When have you ever seen such a beautiful ghost?"
"If you are startled, even good people will be scared to death by you."
"I'm not scared by Mother Gothel, but I'm scared by your voice."
"You are so cowardly. Why are you watching the excitement? Go home quickly."
Gavin didn't pay any attention to the crowd of people watching outside. This was human nature and couldn't be stopped. They wouldn't want to waste time here when the novelty wore off and let them watch.
The Weeping Witch is a good arrow shield, keeping most prying eyes out of the hotel.
But it is obviously not useful for people like Gao Se's mother. In view of the current relationship between the two parties, there is no way to stop them. After all, they have good intentions.
Then again, people like Gao Se's mother know how to take the initiative to avoid suspicion. When she looked around, although she was a little curious, she didn't mean to peek too much, but pointed directly at herself.
Before Gao Se's mother could speak, Gavin sincerely thanked you and said, "Last night, I would also like to thank you madam and your escort girls. If it weren't for you, the dinner would not have been so successful. I will definitely treat you to a good drink when I have time." A glass of thanks."
"This is what you promised yourself. All those girls are eagerly waiting to taste your mind-gazing cocktail." Mother Gaother couldn't help but yawn as she said this.
"You were so busy last night, why didn't Mother Gaother sleep a little longer? Lack of sleep is a woman's biggest enemy, it will accelerate aging." Gavin couldn't help but joke.
Even Gao Se's mother, who is more open-minded than most men, couldn't help but take out a portable makeup mirror when she heard what Gavin said. She observed carefully and couldn't help but touch the crow's feet at the corner of her eyes. He said with a frown: "Don't tell me, there really is one more thing. Hey, time really doesn't pass by. In the blink of an eye, the good times are about to pass. I really envy those of you who have elven blood. You are better than me. Many times older, but more than ten years younger than me."
In terms of age, Mother Gowse's age should not be considered too old, and she belongs to the best age group of human women.
She already has everything a mature woman should have, but she has not really aged.
However, due to racial characteristics, the shelf life of human beings at this stage is too short. In less than ten or eight years, it will begin to decline.
In this regard, the elves and fairies have unique advantages. Time is like a constant in them, and the best state will last for hundreds of years without any change.
Gavin couldn't help but ask: "If you care about your appearance so much, why don't you think of ways to take care of it? I've heard that there is a kind of magic snake oil. After it is applied to the skin, it will shed its skin like a snake. Once it sheds its skin, it will Can be one year younger..."
"Is there such a good thing in this world?" Gao Se's mother's eyes shone, and she grabbed Gavin's hand and said, "Do you think you have this kind of magic snake oil in your hand? How much does it cost? Please give me a price. ?”
No one cares about their appearance, especially women. Beautiful women regard it as more important than their own lives and wealth.
"Uh..." The other party's excited look made Gavin feel guilty. Why would he poke someone's scar when he had nothing to do? "Madam, I'm sorry, I've only heard of it, not seen it. I'll do it in the future." Keep an eye out for you.”
"Hey... I'm just saying, how can such a precious thing be so easy to obtain?" Gao Se's mother could not hide her disappointment, and at the same time she warned Gavin, "I know your energy is relatively high. It’s big and travels a lot. If you come across this kind of magic product, be sure to help me buy it. Money is not an issue.”
"Don't worry, madam." Gavin quickly assured.
Bringing up this topic is purely unintentional.
Seeing how concerned Gowther's mother was, Gavin couldn't help but quickly search through his mind for all the magic and various magic items he knew.
There are indeed many ways to extend life in Faerûn, such as transforming into a lich, a vampire, etc., but they usually have serious side effects.
The kind that can not only preserve a woman's beauty, but also extend her life.
It's not that there aren't any, but there are very few. They are usually extremely powerful spells that cost a lot of money, such as the Nine Rings Prayer Spell.
Not to mention how difficult it is to find a wizard or warlock who knows this kind of magic. Even if you find one, whether the other party is willing to perform it for you is still a question.
Because the cost of this spell is a bit high, it costs at least 5,000 experience points each time it is cast, and the cost is still the caster's.
How could those quasi-legendary and legendary mages touch their professional foundation just for a woman's appearance?
There is also a big gap in the area of magic items and magic potions that allow ladies to maintain their appearance.
This is why ladies flock to it as soon as they hear that ghost wine has beauty and beauty benefits.
People like Gao Se's mother, who have a high professional level, have to worry about this, let alone the ladies in the Glory City, many of whom are ordinary people.
Those noble men usually have strong professional ranks, but those ladies do not need it. They only need to be beautiful enough. This is their most powerful weapon. In order to maintain their weapons, they will not hesitate to do so. It costs a lot.
I want to open up the Glory City market in the future, which is a very good direction. When I have time, I can integrate the resources I have and see if I can develop related products, especially the function of ghost wine.
If I could prepare a unique rejuvenating cocktail, I estimate that my status in the minds of those women would suddenly be elevated to the same level as the gods. At that time, I would not be a friend of women, I would be a woman. god.
"I didn't expect you to be so efficient. According to this process, it will be completed in less than ten days, right?" Gowther's mother turned to look at Gavin and the others' achievements throughout the morning and asked.
"How could it be so fast?" Gavin shook his head and said, "We started with the simplest and most complete part. After completing the first pass, the second pass is the most troublesome. We have to play like Just like a jigsaw puzzle, put the broken pieces back together, try to repair them, and finally do it again to check for the gaps and fill them in. I estimate that at that time, you will have to buy new bricks and stones to repair them. After three times, it will take at least a month."
There was nothing to hide during the construction process, Gai Wen told the truth.
The first pass is mainly about perfect restoration.
The second time is mainly artificial, supplemented by perfect repair and stone shaping techniques.
The third time is mainly stone shaping, supplemented by artificial techniques.
"One month is quite amazing. If we use ordinary methods to repair and rebuild such a large hotel like a small fortress, it will take less than two or three years." Gao Se's mother couldn't help but sigh, "It's impossible." Not to mention, the efficiency of your construction team is really amazing. How do you deal with your doors, windows, and furniture? Do you need me to help you ease the relationship with Parost? He is the only carpenter in the village. Apart from his temper, he is not very attractive. Other than that, his products are generally of good quality and reasonably priced.”
"This is not necessary." Gavin refused with a smile. "Among the team of builders arriving today, there will be three Pixie Druids and five Woad Treants. They are natural carpenters. When the time comes, I will need them. It’s a lot of readily available wood.”
"Pik Elf Druid? Woad Treant?" Gowther's mother's beautiful eyes widened. She couldn't help but look Gavin up and down, as if she was getting to know him all over again. "I can understand that you have kobolds as your subordinates. It’s not easy to meet these natural races, so how do you do it and let them serve you?”
For ordinary people, meeting these forest races is extremely difficult, let alone hiring them in large numbers.
"I have been fortunate enough to help them solve some minor crises, so sometimes they are willing to help me solve some of their troubles." Gavin said it in one stroke. If he really wanted to explain it, it would not be possible to finish it in just one or two sentences.
