On and off the stage, men, women, old and young, were discussing and quarreling.
I don’t know when, ghost wine gained another beauty function.
Gavin, who had already entered the backstage with Regina, couldn't help but ask: "Did you come up with this and add it in?"
"This is not false advertising as you said. Take a closer look and see if my skin is more hydrated and elastic than before." Regina asked with a smile while leaning her beautiful face forward.
Just when Gavin really wanted to take a closer look, Regina had already backed away with a smile, "You really believe it!"
"Really?" Gavin made Regina a little confused.
"It can be said that it is, or it can be said that it is not." Regina explained, "The effect on ordinary women is not particularly obvious, but on women who are more masculine, the effect is indeed excellent."
"Suppressing male hormone secretion?" Gavin was dumbfounded. Negative energy has this effect?
"Androgen? What is that?"
"What about men? After drinking it, will there be any feminizing effect?" Gavin asked hurriedly. If a bunch of people who are neither yin nor yang come out, his Vizeme Manor will be doomed.
"No, this effect has not been found so far. However, it is true that after drinking too much, the body temperature will be low for a long time. Therefore, our suggestion is to drink no more than one glass of ghost wine a day. If you drink more, you will be responsible for the consequences."
Regina obviously doesn't have as heavy a psychological burden as Gavin, "The posture on my side has been fully extended. Not only are the whole valley singing Heather Leaves Knocking on the Windows, but on the Sambia side, I have even hired ten
The famous wandering opera troupe is touring cities from city to city. Each troupe is guaranteed to perform at least three performances a day. Before the last ten days of this month, it is guaranteed that all Sambia will know the name of Ghost Wine and the reopening of Vizeme Manor.
.”
"I have already felt this." Gavin nodded convincingly and said, "Miss Regina, you were born to do this. It is my most correct choice to leave this job to you."
They say some people are gifted.
Don't believe it.
Regina has not systematically studied advertising and marketing, but everything she does caters to this point, firmly grasping people's curiosity, women's emphasis on their appearance, public opinion guidance, and a series of publicity focuses.
.
Since Gavin came ashore, he has fully realized the power of carpet advertising when it is saturated.
Even those village women who stay at home are well aware of the heather leaves knocking on the windows, and when they talk about the ghost estate Vizeme and ghost wine, how could those businessmen who are more well-informed not know?
How could you not be too impressed?
If you want to make money from those businessmen, you must have a market.
Now that Regina has opened up the entire market, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is a sure-profit deal, so how can those businessmen not flock to it?
The current busyness of Black Feather Bridge is closely related to Vizeme Manor and Ghost Wine.
Those businessmen are preparing for the ghost wine auction on the first of next month. Going upstream along the Asaba River from Black Feather Bridge is the best way to get to Vizeme Manor.
Taking a large amount of cash and going to the Vizeme Manor to auction it will be the most losing business.
The most cost-effective deal is to carefully prepare products that can be sold at the ghost wine auction, or directly exchanged for ghost wine with Vizeme Manor.
Especially when Gavin spread the word through Regina and Darnell, the most prepared of these commodities was food.
"Since I got the benefits, of course I have to make some achievements, otherwise, I won't be able to hold on to the money." Regina had a look of pride on her face, which was much more beneficial to her than simply praising her beauty.
More often, "How are your preparations going?"
"Before we came out, I felt that my preparations were almost complete." Gavin said with a wry smile, "But after seeing the formation created by Miss Regina, I feel that there is still a long way to go, especially in terms of safety."
Business opportunities and troubles coexist.
When the businessmen knew the value contained in the Vizeme Manor, those bandits and robbers who liked to get something for nothing naturally knew about it too.
People die for wealth and birds die for food.
When the benefits are big enough, banks will be robbed.
Not to mention, Gavin was just an unknown person in the valley before this.
Those gangsters, thieves' unions and the like would not take him seriously at all, and it would only be a matter of time before they came to his door.
Maybe it has already come to your door.
"Can you wait until the first day of next month? By then, not only will I be able to bring some people to cheer for you, Mr. Darnell should also be able to bring people to the scene in person." Regina asked with concern.
After all, there is one's own vital interests here, which are recorded in one hundred thousand gold coins.
"The problem shouldn't be too big, but if I don't keep an eye on it at home, I always feel uneasy. Can we solve it quickly?" Gavin changed the topic to what he was most concerned about.
Gavin wasn't too afraid of the small number of bandits.
The level of hauntings and ferocity in Wezeme Manor is higher than that of those who have not been subdued. Unless someone like Darnell, an extraordinary paladin or extraordinary priest, comes to visit in person, he will definitely not get good results there.
Having said that, people like that would definitely disdain to do this kind of thing. They have many fair and honest ways to make money quickly.
What makes him more afraid are those brutal gangs and thieves' union. If they fail, they may take out their anger on the halflings of Anbao Ship Village.
"This..." Regina's expression turned gloomy, "Things may be more troublesome than we thought."
"What's wrong?" Gavin's expression suddenly changed slightly. "Are those Tethyr refugees unwilling to move again? Or are they in armed conflict with the local residents?"
Compared to the former possibility, Gavin was more worried about the latter possibility.
If it was the former, he had many ways to think of it. As a group of refugees, there was definitely no such thing as being unable to leave their homeland. There were only concerns about insufficient interests, safety, and survival.
Changing to the latter one would be more troublesome.
Especially when there is blood, even if those Tethyr refugees are willing to follow him, the local residents must be willing as well.
But judging from the atmosphere in Lucky Village, it doesn't look like it's in wartime.
"No, it's more troublesome than this." Regina led Gavin towards the stables, "Let's talk as we walk..."
When the group arrived at the Tethyr refugee camp under the Good Luck Tooth Mountains, Regina and Gavin had already given a rough introduction to the situation here.
The Tessel refugee camp is only five kilometers away from Good Luck Village in a straight line, but it takes a full fifteen kilometers by horseback because they have to go around the Good Luck Tooth Mountains.
Located at the intersection of the Good Luck Tooth Mountains, the Cormanthor Forest and the Cold Lands.
This is also the junction of Battle Valley, Lingyu Valley and Farming Valley, the three valleys.
The only famous landmark building here is the Good Luck Fang Mage Tower.
It was the one that failed to sell at the ghost manor auction that Gavin participated in earlier.
Due to the remoteness of the terrain, it was a no-nonsense area before these Tethyr refugees arrived.
Those Tethyr refugees who are stranded here probably value this. As long as they don't go out to do evil, no one will come, claim ownership of this place, and disturb their lives.
This Tessel refugee camp has been around for some time. The first Tessel refugees who arrived here were ten years ago. At that time, there were only a few dozen people.
As Tethyr refugees gradually joined later, the number of refugees here has exceeded 500, which is just a lot more.
Rather than saying it is a refugee camp, it is more appropriate to call it a simple mountain village.
"You mean, you suspect that the missing refugees in this refugee camp are related to the Fang of Good Luck Mage Tower? What's the reason?"
The trouble Regina mentioned was not that the Tethyr refugees were causing trouble, but that there was trouble here.
Recently, a large number of people here have disappeared. In less than half a month, nearly fifty people have disappeared. Under desperate circumstances, the leader of the refugee camp asked Lord Ilmet of the Battle Valley for help, hoping that he would send someone
Assist with investigations.
If this problem is not solved, even if Gavin tells the truth, these refugees will not leave their relatives whose lives are uncertain and follow him to the land of three rivers.
"More than fifty people are not a small number. Especially the Tessel refugee camp is not an ordinary village. There are many veterans in it, especially their leader. He is a powerful warrior who can continue to fight under his nose.
There is only one possibility to capture people, and that is to use magic.
Coincidentally, before they reported a missing person, a red-robed mage was just seen in Lucky Village, entering the Lucky Fang Mage Tower, and no one saw him come out after that."
Regina explained, "I believe you should have heard of the evil of the red-robed mage. Human trafficking is one of their pillar industries. Putting the two things together is probably not just a coincidence."
"Why should this matter be characterized as man-made? Instead of predators preying on powerful predators? Especially those predators from the ether or shadow plane, it is not difficult to take away the victims silently.
"Gavin raised a new question.
"Before coming here, I have asked a prophecy mage to divine that the missing people are not dead." Regina was obviously prepared. "Those hunters will not leave anyone alive. The only ones who do this are the slave traders."
"As you said, they really plundered the population into the Fang of Good Luck Mage Tower. How did they take the population away?" Gavin had not considered the possibility of teleportation.
But as soon as he floated up, he rejected it himself.
Just kidding, extraordinary mages who can use teleportation, even the red-robed mages, can't be on the streets to the extent of human trafficking.
They can make a fine magic item at will, which is the pure profit from selling thousands of people.
Either it wasn't a red-robed mage who did it, and if so, it must have been a low-level red-robed mage or an apprentice.
"This involves another legend about the Mage Tower of the Fang of Good Luck. It is said that this Mage Tower was built above the entrance to the Underdark. There is an ancient drow elf fortress below. The refugees who were taken away said
It may be temporarily placed in this underground fortress, or it may have been sold to the dark area. This is what we need to find out during this trip." Regina shared all the information she had.
There was only one thing she didn't say, and that was when she asked this familiar prophecy mage to make a prediction.
In addition to searching for information about the missing people, they also divined the outcome of the trip.
The result is that everything is shrouded in an unknown fog.
This time, the curiosity of this prophecy mage friend was aroused. After repeated research and comparison, all directions pointed to this young man named Gavin Nott.
He seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force, and nothing about him could be predicted.
Including the Land of Three Rivers, the future of Vizeme Manor, and even the future of Battle Valley, seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog because of his appearance.
This half-elf has been labeled by his friends as a random person and an unpredictable person. Don't waste your time on anything involving him in the future. You can't predict it at all.
The friend repeatedly warned Regina to stay away from this person.
Because if you get too close to him, it is very likely that he will mess up your destiny and make your destiny unknown.
However, this kind of warning not only failed to act as a warning, but instead aroused Regina's greater curiosity, and she couldn't help but re-examine the half-elf in front of her.
