After listening to Gavin's suggestion, the five Leatherman witches, who were already tense, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were afraid that the other party would impose harsh conditions on getting involved in the internal affairs of the Leatherman Kingdom, such as extending their trade tentacles to Leatherman Kingdom or something like that.
This makes them very resistant, which will erode their current relatively stable ruling model.
But if they only deal with the Tukan people's trophies, it is easy to accept. After all, their kingdom is not rich in merchants, and their lifestyle is destined to have a small demand for some trophies, such as the armor and mounts of the Tukan people. .
It's not that the Leatherman people don't ride horses, it's just that the Leatherman Kingdom has high mountains and plateaus, and they mainly ride the kind of sturdy ponies that have good endurance and are adapted to the plateau climate. The Tukan people's horses from the grasslands appear to be very powerful here. Too delicate and not very applicable.
It would indeed be a very profitable business to use these commodities they did not need in exchange for strategic materials useful to them.
As for whether Gavin would make a large profit difference from the process, that was not their concern.
That's their ability. After all, they don't have the ability to transport large amounts of materials to the west coast of Falling Star Sea.
The other party does not run a charity, so it is natural to make a fortune from it.
After the five Leatherman Witches communicated quickly through their psychic abilities, the Water Spirit Witch still nodded and said: "We agree to this transaction method, but there are too many variables in this matter. We can only reach a preliminary agreement, and We need you to deliver the flutter bomb to us first, and then we can settle it for you after the war. In this matter, you need to take some risks."
Gavin said very cheerfully: "The reputation of our Leatherman witches is also excellent in the whole of Faerûn. I can still give you this little trust. I believe this is just the beginning of our cooperation. We will have countless more in the future." Opportunities to collaborate.”
For Gavin, this deal is a stepping stone to establish a close cooperative relationship with the top leadership of the Leatherman Kingdom. Making more or less is secondary, after all, this is a long-term deal.
If we can take the opportunity to get the exclusive rights to operate the Leatherman Kingdom, it will really be a huge profit.
No matter how closed they are and how primitive their lifestyle is, there are still some things that are indispensable.
If you have a deeper understanding, you will find that the lifestyle of the Leatherman Kingdom is not as primitive as imagined. They just live in a way they advocate, which is very different from the civilized way that is now popular. In fact, their application in totem magic is far more advanced. Beyond the imagination of the world.
Take the matter of those Leatherman Berserkers being shirtless in the middle of winter. Do you really think they are using their own flesh and blood to show off their bravery?
On the one hand, they are to facilitate the use of rage and totem transformation. Ordinary clothes and equipment will be torn directly.
On the other hand, the magic totems on their bodies have corresponding magic effects. Maintaining body temperature is only the most basic. Some of the more powerful ones will even provide super cold or fire resistance, let alone the invasion of natural cold. Against ice magic, the damage they receive is much lighter than that of ordinary people.
Not to mention the spell-casting abilities of the Leatherman witches. They can rely on a bitter cold land to compete with the red-robed mages who are searching for wealth all over the world. Naturally, they have their own uniqueness.
This has been proven by the Red Feather Witch and the Water Spirit Witch. They are both serious legendary spell casters with legendary spells. I believe that the remaining seven witch members of the Witch Council, even if they are not stronger than them, Not much inferior to them.
Because unlike the red-robed wizards who advocate fierce internal competition, the Leatherman Witch Council advocates a high degree of unity. All members are treated as sisters and many things are highly shared, including some resources and spells. A member of the witch council Things that other witches will soon know, as long as they have the ability to learn.
This is also one of the secrets of their ability to fight against the red-robed mages.
Even if the red-robed mages knew it, they would not be able to imitate it, because their roots are bad. If all the things they have mastered were made public, would those low-level red-robed mages still be willing to accept their oppression and driving? Will it not take long for them to grow up and replace them?
Regarding Gavin's answer, all the Leatherman witches couldn't hide their admiration in their eyes. It was not a fluke that this young commander could combine many honors. He did have his own uniqueness.
This courage alone is very human.
The water spirit witch attaches great importance to this deal. "It is our greatest honor that your commander can trust us so much. You are right. There will be many opportunities for us to cooperate with each other in the future. Even if we repel the Tukan people, The Dragon's Breath Flutter Bomb will also be an important strategic item for us, as it will change the way water warfare is played.
We aquatic creatures have always lacked a weapon that poses a fatal threat to ships, especially large battleships and sea vessels.
Now the dragon's breath flutter bomb has made up for the shortcomings in this aspect. If such a bomb is directly underwater and touches the bottom of those ships, only one or two will be enough to bring a fatal threat to them.
As long as we have enough Dragon's Breath Flutter Bombs, there will be no chance of Sel's ships ever being launched. "
In an instant, the witch extended the use of the dragon's breath vibration bomb to a deeper level.
Not to mention that the other four witches felt enlightened, even Gavin felt enlightened.
He had previously only thought of the extended use of dragon's breath flutter bombs in the air, and formed an ultra-modern aerial bombing brigade for this purpose.
Why didn't I expect that the Dragon's Breath Flutter Bomb is also a powerful ship blasting tool.
This is mainly limited by the thinking of the previous life. In many cases, it is not how strong his creative ability is, but how broad his knowledge is, and he directly uses ready-made things.
There are no intelligent creatures in the water on the earth, so there are relatively few things to learn from in this aspect. Naturally, they are not as professional as water queens like the Water Spirit Witch, and they have more to think about.
Gavin was on the snake-killing pole and immediately expressed his position: "As long as the witches need it, I will do my best to provide it. I guarantee that I will give you the best price. Not only the dragon's breath flutter bomb, I also have various versions. Although the flutter bomb is not as powerful as the dragon's breath flutter bomb, it is large in quantity and can be used in various aspects, such as mining and road paving, especially in mountain road paving. It is very advantageous."
As he spoke, Gavin turned the topic to what he was best at. He was planning to enter the Leatherman Kingdom's infrastructure industry. If there was an opportunity, he would naturally want to get involved in the field of gods.
The Leatherman Kingdom is mainly based on totem belief. I dare not say that there is no belief in gods, but it is definitely not the mainstream.
If you can put your hand in, the meaning will definitely be extraordinary.
But unfortunately, these Leatherman witches were only interested in the first half of his words, and not the second half.
It was still the water spirit witch who said: "We will discuss the follow-up cooperation after we win this war. The most important thing now is when will the dragon's breath flutter bomb be in place? I will recruit people for cooperation training. It will take a lot of time! We also need to concentrate on research and testing to see if we can further improve the blasting power."
"It will take one to two days. As long as you are ready to receive the storage location, I will transport them over by teleportation. This kind of explosive and dangerous goods is not suitable for transportation by ordinary methods." Gavin was not discouraged.
If the Leatherman Kingdom was so easy to conquer, the gods would have succeeded long ago and would have waited for him to come.
This matter needs to be done step by step, and I have a good start now.
"If the four sisters have no objections, I would like to transport the Dragon's Breath Flutter Bomb directly to my palace in the middle of the lake. It will not only be convenient for my naval forces to access, but also ensure a certain degree of safety." Water Spirit Witch suggested.
"There really is nothing more suitable than the Shuiling Sisters' palace in the middle of the lake."
"The main force using this weapon will be the water legion of the Water Spirit Sisters, and that should be the case."
"I agree."
"I agree too."
These Leatherman witches are indeed unimaginably united and efficient. Many things have been agreed upon and completely follow the perspective that is most beneficial to the Leatherman Kingdom. As long as this is confirmed, it will basically be unanimously approved, and there is no need to cover it. It means to avoid suspicion in front of people.
"Since it is transported by teleportation, it is easier. Commander, follow me." The water spirit witch waved her hand, and an invisible air ball enveloped Gavin's body, and then fell towards Asen Lake. This time, it was not on top. Instead of walking, he submerged directly into the lake.
The other four witches understood and followed suit into Lake Asen.
Gavin did it without thinking. He had already vaguely guessed what the other party wanted to do.
Sure enough, the moment he fell into the water, the invisible air ball that the water spirit witch had just cast on him took effect, directly dividing the surrounding lake water and forming a huge air ball. Not only did not even a drop of water touch his body, he was not even affected by his breathing. Influence.
Not only herself, but also the four Leatherman Witches who entered the water later. Only the Water Spirit Witch showed her true self again, swimming in the lake, extremely flexible, and showing a sense of beauty in every move. Unfortunately, because of the lake water Despite all the obstacles, I still couldn't see her face clearly, I just felt extremely beautiful.
Her swimming speed was quite fast, even those marine creatures would be defeated. As she swam back and forth, a huge current was stirred up, pushing five air balloons, following her at high speed, and she swam farther and farther. deep.
A colorful but bizarre new world appeared in front of Gavin. There were not only a large number of fat fishes in groups, but also a large number of busy water elves. The bottom of the lake was covered with various green plants. There are no less than dozens of them. Judging from their dense and orderly arrangement, they are definitely not wild, but planted by those water elves.
In the middle of these aquatic plants, there are exquisite huts shrouded in bubbles. They are built with a series of natural materials in the lake, such as coral, shells and sand.
Water elves have not evolved specialized organs similar to fish gills, nor can they hold their breath for a long time like other marine animals. Instead, as soon as they were born, their own tribe used magic to stabilize their underwater breathing. Technique, you can breathe freely underwater.
After all, they are transformed from terrestrial creatures, and they still retain strong terrestrial habits. For example, when they are in a trance, they still like to lie on a warm and comfortable bed instead of floating in the water.
Soon Gavin and the others were several hundred meters deep into the lake. The place did not become dark, on the contrary, it was extremely bright. A palace in the lake, like a full moon, appeared in front of them.
Rather than a palace, it is more appropriate to call it a small town. A huge air cover covers the place. You can also see a large number of water elves, some of them in groups, holding weapons similar to harpoons in their hands. , on patrol vigilantly.
After all the water elves saw the water spirit witch, they all bowed and greeted her with clicking sounds.
Although she is also a member of the Leatherman witches, because of the uniqueness of the water, her identity in Lake Asen is even more unique, and she is honored as queen by these water elves.
There are even larger beings wandering around this palace, but because the water spirit witch personally led the team, they did not show up. I believe that if the enemy appears here, they will definitely incur a fatal blow.
When the bubbles on Gavin and the others came into contact with the bubble layer covering the underwater palace, they automatically disappeared and merged into it. Gavin and the others fell to the ground involuntarily.
It's just that there is no ordinary person present, no one is in a panic, everyone has their own means, and they all fall into place easily.
Gavin couldn't help but look up and admire the beautiful underwater world. The water here was deep enough that he couldn't see the sun on the water clearly. There was only a blue sky. Although the aura covering the underwater palace was invisible, it was powerful. Due to the repulsive force, only special entrances can enter and exit, and there is no strange scene of fish falling from the sky.
"This is a portal." The water spirit witch pointed to the vortex in front of the palace square. "Through it, you can directly teleport to wherever you want to go in Faerun. I will accompany you to deliver the dragon's breath flutter bomb. .”
At first glance, the portal mentioned by the Water Spirit Witch is a large fountain, but it does not spray water outwards, but a slowly rotating vortex, clear but unable to see the bottom, as if it leads to another unknown world.
If you look closely, you will find that it is more unique. The portal pool is not made of ordinary masonry, but crystal clear jade, with a large number of complex runes engraved on it, among which the runes representing the water element appear. The most frequent.
In Faerûn, portals are not uncommon, and making them is not as difficult as imagined.
Use the magic constant spell to make the nine-ring spell transmission array constant, and a new portal can be formed.
But there are not many cities that actually make portals, and they are very cautious.
First, making a portal requires a lot of professional experience, which is a big burden even for legendary spellcasters.
But for a powerful city or country, this is not difficult to overcome.
The real reason is the second one. Once the portal is successfully created, it means they have opened a stable door to the entire multiverse. Once the coordinates of this portal are known, the enemy can also use this portal to conduct precise attacks. Teleport.
Some powerful beings from other planes can also extend their tentacles.
Sometimes, it is better to give up a certain degree of convenience than to open the door easily.
At least Gavin doesn't dare to open the door easily yet.
"Okay." Since someone reimbursed the shipping fee, Gavin naturally had no reason to refuse and followed the water spirit witch into the water.
Although the energy used by the portal is different, the principle is basically the same.
With the assistance of the Water Spirit Witch, the dragon's breath vibration bombs that originally took two to three days to be transported were all transferred to the Water Spirit Witch's underwater palace in just two hours.
Since he didn't know how long this war would last, Gavin negotiated with several Leatherman witches, and the number of dragon's breath flutter bombs delivered was halved, and an additional order of 10,000 flutter bombs was added. The strongest dragon flutter bomb, but the strong flutter bomb.
The water army of the Water Spirit Witch explodes underwater, so its safety is relatively guaranteed. Moreover, those Tukan people are not stupid. They will definitely not engage in large-scale marches on the ice. It is very likely that they will break up the army and use small weapons to destroy it. The vast waters of Assen Lake will help the Leatherman Kingdom now, and the disadvantage will be great after the ice is frozen. This is a defense line of two to three hundred kilometers long.
The powerful Dragon's Breath Flutter Bomb would be a waste in that case.
Far less powerful, but more flexible and convenient than flutter bombs with low cost and large quantities.
With the help of the Conqueror Chamber of Commerce in acquiring the alchemy materials needed for flutter bombs, flutter bombs can now be mass-produced. At full production capacity, 10,000 bombs can only be produced in ten days. This is just the beginning. The number of kobolds under Gavin's command is increasing, and the quality of kobold alchemists is getting higher and higher. Especially when the auxiliary alchemy herbs they planted in large quantities at the dragon oak tree have begun to be harvested, the production speed will be further increased.
After completing this trade, which was crucial to the defense of the Leatherman Kingdom, the Leatherman witches became more and more kind to Gavin.
Gavin took the opportunity to throw out another suggestion of his: "The war is coming, but the chariot army I just formed seriously lacks large-scale combat experience, and I see that your fearless people are not very accepting of this brand-new combat tool. , in order to facilitate my training, and to promote the friendship between the two sides, I suggest that we organize both sides to conduct battle formation discussions. Actual combat is the best way to sharpen their skills, so that they can grow the fastest."
"Actual combat at this time?" All the Leatherman witches couldn't help but frown.
The Akabane witch who was most familiar with Gavin was the first to object: "The war is imminent. Doing this will only consume our own resources. There is no way to avoid casualties in actual combat exercises..."
