"I need you to mobilize ten cargo ships. I reached a deal with Mr. Darnell before. If it is transported by land, it is too roundabout. I want to directly cross the Asaba River and transport it to the Dun Hills."
The Shaba River and the completion of the deal with the Hammer of Justice Monastery were what Gavin had envisioned from the beginning.
I was worried about the cargo ship at first, but I didn't expect that a fleet of halflings would arrive on my doorstep.
Although the halfling cargo ship is a bit smaller, the cargo capacity of a single ship is relatively low.
But if the quantity is large, it’s just a matter of making more trips.
"What do I think it is?" The halfling leader suddenly showed a relaxed smile and said, "This matter is simple. Not only can we dispatch the cargo ship, but we can also dispatch the best sailors to assist the lord."
"Then we've settled on this deal."
"That's it."
Gavin turned his eyes to the halfling's clothes and said, "Mr. Avery, if it's convenient, could you take off your coat and show me?"
This strange request made the halfling leader stunned, but he quickly took off his vest and handed it to Gavin: "Lord, please take a look."
really.
After receiving it, Gavin couldn't hide the joy that surged in his heart.
When I have time, even if I don't build a temple to Taimora myself, I still have to go there and worship.
I've been very lucky lately, whatever I want comes to me.
If you are hungry, someone will bring you food.
If you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow.
Yesterday I was studying textiles, and I just thought of denim, and today someone sent me something similar.
"The canvas on your boat is made of the same material as this coat." Gavin didn't use a question, but an affirmative.
"The lord also has research on fabrics?" Avery was a little surprised. "Yes, this is made from old canvas. It is durable, but it is a bit rough."
"What do you think of this fabric? As long as the textile process is slightly improved and the needlework is finer, it would be an excellent choice for making work clothes." Gavin said, tilting his head slightly.
The halfling leader was about to answer, but he couldn't help but hold it back. He couldn't help but stare at Gavin's shoulder with wide eyes. Fey? Pixie?
What is the origin of this half-elf? Not only does he have tree people to look after his home, but he also has felines following him invisibly. Is he the illegitimate son of an elf lord? Or is he a child of nature?
The person standing on Gavin's shoulder is naturally Nicole.
Facing the visit of a group of strangers, her temperament was also shy, but she was as curious as a cat. She was very curious about what the legendary halfling looked like, so she hid invisibly on Gavin's shoulder.
But once it comes to her favorite area of expertise, she loses her temper and shows up directly.
With a wave of his hand, the fairy dust fell on the halfling's vest, and a faint shadow emerged from it.
Flashing in a dazzling way.
How the little vest was cut out of an old canvas into what it looks like today.
How that old canvas was spun bit by bit.
How is the silk thread used to weave it kneaded and drawn bit by bit?
How are the cotton and linen used in those silk threads produced bit by bit?
This is a backwards documentary that faithfully records the entire process of the vest from production to the present.
Others seemed to be unaware, but Gavin could see it clearly. It must be the Pik Elf girl who did it intentionally.
Gavin couldn't hide his surprise: "What kind of ability is this? Do Build Divers have this kind of ability?"
Nicole's round face also showed a little pride that could not be concealed as she said: "This is not a professional ability, but a special ability. The reward when my perception reaches extraordinary levels."
Analysis (Special Ability): Extraordinary perception reward, able to analyze and restore the essence of things. Ordinary items can be 100% restored and analyzed, while magic items only have a certain chance. The higher the level of the magic item, the lower the chance of analyzing and restoring. Sub-artifacts and above cannot be analyzed.
Blind Beauty (Supernatural): Charisma bonus, this ability will continue to work. Any humanoid creature that enters the target eighteen meters will be affected. If the affected creature looks directly at the target, if it cannot pass the Fortitude save,
You will be permanently blinded, just like being affected by the blindness spell. You can suppress or enable this ability.
After reading the career template of the Pixie Girl, Gavin's eyes were somewhat straightened.
People are more infuriating than others.
After three lifetimes of accumulation and hard work, it was just an extraordinary attribute.
She had just opened the career template, and her two attributes were extraordinary. Not only did her sense of treachery increase, but her intelligence also increased.
Is it caused by one’s own growth?
I have never heard of the special ability of restorative analysis.
It is estimated that some of Nicole's own abilities gave rise to tailor-made exclusive abilities.
Never doubt the magic network's ability to keep pace with the times and its omnipotence.
The power of this ability is self-evident.
As long as there is a finished product, the Pixie Girl can restore the entire production process through item memory.
This is simply a counterfeit skill that defies heaven.
Bah bah!
It should be said that it is a heaven-defying skill that was borrowed from.
Let’s not talk about other things for now, at least there is no problem in learning from the textile halfling’s canvas.
Sensing the subtle change in Gavin's expression, the Pik Elf girl couldn't hide her pride. She had wanted to show off to Gavin for a long time, but unfortunately he had been busy and hadn't met him for a long time. When she got the chance this time, she naturally wanted to show off to Gavin.
After showing it to the end, he said: "Just now it is only half of the ability of this skill. It can not only restore the analysis, but also optimize the analysis."
As he spoke, the frozen scene moved again.
However, it is no longer the process of putting it upside down, but putting it forward, changing from cotton and linen to silk thread, to canvas, and to a vest.
The whole process looks very similar to the previous one, but there are subtle differences.
For example, the silk threads made from cotton and linen are thinner and more symmetrical, the canvas woven is finer, the stitching of the vest is finer, and the finished product is naturally more beautiful, and is 60 to 70% similar to modern imitations produced in industrialization.
Gavin was just about to praise the pique girl a few more words, but he didn't expect that the girl squatted on his shoulders with her buttocks squatting on her shoulders, her face turned pale and her expression was depressed.
You don't need to ask to know that this is the result of excessive mental energy consumption.
This optimized analysis consumes far more mental energy than the restored analysis.
Using the two together is far beyond Nicole's capabilities.
Gavin didn't care to discuss other matters, and said a little distressedly: "You said you are in a hurry, we are not in a hurry to imitate, go back and rest quickly."
"I'm fine, I'll recover after recuperating." Nicole forced herself to keep her spirits up, she was still in the mood for conversation.
Gavin didn't give her a chance to continue speaking. He held her in his arms and handed her to Estelle, saying: "Send Miss Nicole to her own room to rest. Close the doors and windows. She hasn't slept for eight hours. No."
Come out right away."
"ε=(ο｀*))) Sigh... It's noon, who can take an eight-hour nap?" the Pixie girl yelled weakly.
"Yes." Estelle took the Barbie-like Nicole and held it carefully in his hands, lest he accidentally hurt her.
She is now only following Gai Wen's orders. If he asks her to be detained for eight hours, she will definitely be detained for eight hours. Not a minute more, not a minute less.
After watching them go, Gavin looked apologetic, handed the small canvas vest back to the halfling leader and said: "Sorry, sorry, I just got excited and neglected the guests. The manor is reopening, so I need to prepare something."
There are many, including workers' work clothes in the future, but the quality of textiles on the market is worrying, and we have been looking for suitable textiles."
Gavin briefly explained it to several halflings, leaned forward slightly and said, "Is it convenient for me to ask, did you weave this canvas by yourself? Or did you buy it from other places?"
Of course, we need to find out more about this kind of thing.
If these halflings have the ability to weave canvas, start directly from them, obtain the corresponding textile technology, and make improvements.
After all, getting a reputation without telling someone is not a good thing.
Especially when you want to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with the owner of the suffering.
As Avery put the canvas vest back on, he shook his head and said, "It would be great if we had this technology. This is a specialty of Feather Valley. It has the largest cotton planting area in the valley, and the cotton produced there is also the highest in the entire valley."
Best.
Every year in late summer and early autumn, our fleet will gather there to help the farmers in Lingyu Valley pick cotton and cut hemp, and they will use this canvas as payment.
This is a good thing that even money can't buy. Not only the boats on the Asaba River, but also the sails used are all produced there.
Even in Dragon Bay and even Falling Star Sea, many ships use sails produced in Feather Valley."
"I see." Gavin quickly marked a few strokes on the valley map in his mind. This was important information.
Battle Valley and Lingyu Valley are neighbors, very close to each other. It is absolutely convenient to get there from the land of three rivers, that is, follow the Asaba River downstream. Lingyu Valley is mainly concentrated on the north bank of the Asaba River.
"How far is it from here to Feather Valley? Is it easy to walk?" Since this topic was brought up, Gavin naturally wanted to take the opportunity to collect more information.
As a wandering village, Anbaochuan Village travels up and down the Asaba River all year round. It must have an incomparable understanding of the conditions on both sides of the river, which is what it lacks.
"From Yewen Pond to Black Feather Bridge, no more, no less, exactly 200 kilometers, and to Feather Falls in Feather Valley, it will take another 140 kilometers." Halfling leader Avery has no intention of hiding treasures.
, opened his mouth and said, "These three hundred and forty kilometers are the best way to go. The water speed is suitable, the terrain is gentle, and there are not many ups and downs. Even if you load the goods and go down the river, it only takes two days."
If you go against the current and the wind direction is right, it will take double the time. If the wind direction is not right and you rely solely on manpower, it will take three to four times the time and energy.
After Feather Falls, you will reach Scar Gorge. The river here is turbulent and the terrain is relatively complex. Although it is only 160 kilometers to Julong Bay, the walking difficulty is as difficult as the 340 kilometers combined, especially Feather Falls.
It is an insurmountable natural danger.
Our footsteps stopped at Feather Falls, and we don’t know much about the situation there.”
"This is enough." Gavin said with a smile, "This information can help me a lot."
"These are the necessary knowledge for boatmen on the Asaba River. Anyone who has been running boats on the Asaba River all year round will know that it is really nothing." Avery hesitated and said, "Actually, we also have
A place to seek help from the lord."
"If you need any help, just ask. As long as I can do it, I will help." Gavin said generously.
"Another important reason why we live in summer every year is that many houseboats are more or less damaged, especially the underwater parts, which must be raised out of the water to repair them. With our small bodies, this matter is undoubtedly
It’s a big project…”
The leader of the halflings just said the beginning, and Gavin basically guessed what they wanted to do, "Do you want to use the broken thorn to help you lift the house boat from the water, or directly lift it to the shore?"
