"I hope to be able to live in the manor for a long time. Don't worry, I will restrain myself and not do anything excessive..."
Before Darnell finished speaking, Gavin shook his head and refused without hesitation: "I'm sorry, Mr. Darnell, I can understand your good intentions, but your presence will not solve the problems of the manor. On the contrary, it will cause
Many new problems will bring a lot of inconvenience to both parties."
Darnell thought the same thing. Ordinary people were afraid of the undead, but the intelligent undead stayed away from the paladin.
It is not a matter of inconvenience for myself to enter the Vizeme Manor, but an inconvenience for the ghosts of the manor.
The slightly changed expressions of Estelle and her daughter perfectly illustrate this point.
Darnell could only resort to the next best thing and said: "I don't want to live in the manor directly. I can open a temporary residence or camp next to it."
"Sorry." Gavin still shook his head and refused.
Although he is not planning to engage in any evil deeds at Vizeme Manor, it still contains many of his secrets.
Especially after being infused with immortality, the manor became even more extraordinary.
There were many functions that even he himself didn’t fully understand.
Put a supernatural paladin at the door and he will be tied up in many things.
But having a powerful paladin in his own territory is not without its benefits. At least it has an extraordinary effect in calming people's hearts.
Gavin soon came up with a compromise and said: "If Sir is willing, I can leave a separate courtyard for you and the Hammer of Justice Monastery in the new village. You are always welcome to come and stay, or
Permanent residence, if possible, I hope you can set up a civil court there to adjudicate civil disputes. As a reward, I will donate a car of ghost wine to the Hammer of Justice Monastery every year."
The courts are outsourced to paladins, especially the paladins of Tyr.
This is a common thing in the valley. Many places have no way to establish a permanent court, so they sign an agreement with a nearby paladin monastery. If necessary, they will send an invitation to the monastery and ask them to send paladins to form a temporary court to conduct trials and arbitrations.
The Hammer of Justice Monastery is a leader in this area, a model among models, which is another reason why they are so famous in the surrounding valley.
Outsourcing judicial power is only a temporary solution.
When your own power grows a little, you must take it back, take it firmly into your own hands, and establish your own legal system.
This time Darnell did not reply directly: "Since Mr. Gavin is going to the Hammer of Justice Monastery in person, it is better to leave this matter until then. The temporary residence here is my personal matter.
It has nothing to do with the monastery, so just leave me a single residence in the new village, and I will pay for it myself."
The request just now has already explored Gavin's bottom line.
There are more things hidden behind the Vizeme Manor than I imagined, and it is impossible for the other party to let me guard the gate.
Being able to live in the new village at will is already taking care of the relationship between both parties.
"Let's discuss this matter later." Gavin didn't argue too much on this matter. After all, the new village was not built overnight, and by then, many new changes would have occurred.
"Okay." Darnell obviously realized this.
He still clearly remembered the time when he and Gavin came to Weizeme Manor, and by calculation, it was only more than a month ago.
But the changes in the Vizeme Manor made him feel like he had been away for several years, because everything was too big and too fast.
This is a feeling that can only arise in many places after visiting them after several years.
Gavin didn't want to continue to quarrel with the other party on this topic, so he turned directly to the business of the trip: "Mr. Darnell, how much are you planning to transport back?"
Darnell thought about it for a while and said: "Five cars, five cars are enough. I'll ask Mr. Gavin to dispose of the rest at the auction on the first day of next month. We will offset the proceeds from the goods and money.
"
Although Darnell is a paladin, he has no grudge against money and must be careful with his calculations.
Settlement and exchange of goods are common trading methods in Faerûn, in order to reduce transportation as much as possible.
The less you transport, the greater the cost savings.
"No problem, we will load the ship today. Tomorrow morning, we will set off for the Hammer of Justice Monastery. I believe Mr. Darnell will need to prepare tomorrow's dinner." Gavin agreed readily.
There were suddenly 800 kobolds and more than 400 Tethyr immigrants in the territory. Getting a batch of food was the most important thing at the moment.
Although game is not difficult to obtain in the land of three rivers.
However, the instability of this situation is too great, and it is only a small problem to be easily full and hungry.
Once a war breaks out, the problem of not being able to hunt becomes serious.
Let’s not talk about the believers of the Immortal Furies, but the bandits who are eyeing the Land of Three Rivers and the Vizeme Manor may appear at any time.
Only when you have a large amount of food in your hands can you not panic and better appease people's hearts.
After the business was settled, Gavin started to solve another small trouble outside the manor.
Before stepping out of the manor, Gavin said to Darnell: "Sir, I hope you can watch calmly and not intervene rashly while I resolve the differences between Miss Serul."
"This..." Darnell looked embarrassed. Since Gavin had said hello in advance, he must be preparing to use more extreme measures. Although he was not worried about threatening the other party's life, the other party was an apprentice of the Hammer of Justice after all, and he himself
He is the other party's temporary guardian teacher.
Gavin said solemnly: "I am just teaching her a lesson now, telling her to consider her own strength before expressing her extreme views, otherwise she will just give her life in vain."
Considering the other party's tendency to go to extremes, Darnell nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you a minute. We'll go out in one minute and talk about what we have to say..."
"One minute is enough." Gavin stepped out of the door before Darnell could finish speaking.
The next moment when you step out of the manor's mysterious lock.
A long sword flashing with bright light struck Gavin heavily.
Selul roared angrily: "All protectors of the undead are guilty of the same sin as the undead and should be purified."
Bang!
Not only did Gavin not dodge, but he suddenly took a step forward, and the crown shield faced the long sword.
Just this step caused a huge deviation in offense and defense.
What falls on the Crown Shield is not the most suitable position of the long sword for chopping, but the relatively weak second half.
On the contrary, Gavin's upward push was even more powerful, allowing Serul to open the door wide.
The death roar in Gavin's other hand was already in front of her, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
boom!
Death Roar let out its own unique roar.
Selul only had time to hold the paladin's shield in front of him, and then he was knocked away by the terrifying force.
The paladin's shield made of fine steel failed to block the blow of the death roar and exploded directly. The unabated warhead hit Selul's chest, denting the plate armor there.
There is a big shallow pit on the fist, which actually highlights the female features.
The roar of death alarmed Darnell in the manor.
Not caring about the one-minute agreement, he jumped out immediately, just in time to see Selul falling to the ground after being blasted away, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Darnell suddenly changed his color and said, "Mr. Gavin, are you crazy? You even used this weapon."
These paladins were extremely impressed by the death roar in Gavin's hands.
It was a terrifying existence that could directly blast vampire heads and break open their bone breastplates.
Gavin said calmly: "Don't worry, I am sensible. If I really want her life, this blow will not be aimed at the shield. Look, this is not waking up."
What made Selul fall to the ground was not the impact of the death roar, but the twin psychic bullets that shocked her.
Because the physical attack of Death Roar is too powerful, in many cases, there is no use for both bullets and double shots.
This time it was not needed, but it took effect.
Seluer's will was strong enough. The shock lasted only a few seconds before she woke up. She gritted her teeth and tried to jump up from the ground, but she stumbled. A sharp pain in her chest hindered her movement. It was probably a fracture.
Or the bone is broken.
A bright light emitted from Seluer's body from the inside out, and the injury healed without medicine.
Paladin's Self-Healing.
Seluer grabbed the sword and wanted to attack, but the death roar was already pressed against her smooth forehead.
Gavin admonished with a kind expression: "Miss Serul, I admire your courage and your will to fight against death and evil to the end, but before that, please consider your own strength.
You can't even catch a shot from me, so how can you purify the manor behind me? If Mr. Darnell hadn't been here, with your strength, you would have been transformed into a shadow in minutes after you entered, do you believe it?
You can purify my manor if you want. When you have the strength to defeat me, I will take the initiative to burn the manor without you purifying it."
Seeing that Seluer was fine, Darnell couldn't help but stop again. The look on his face was obviously in a dilemma.
There is no absolute right or wrong in this kind of thing.
Selul is to purify the undead.
Gavin was passively fighting back in order to protect his manor.
"Okay, you can take it away." Seluer said coldly, "Just wait, I will defeat you, soon."
Seeing that the other party had successfully shifted the target to himself, Gavin breathed a sigh of relief and moved the Death Roar away.
Seluer is one of the most persistent and stubborn people he has ever seen in his past life and this life, and he is also the one who keeps his promises the most.
Since the other party has set its sights on him, he will not try to take advantage of the manor again until he defeats him.
But it's probably not that easy to gain the power to defeat yourself.
When the other person is growing up, he himself will not be idle either.
Gavin stretched out his hand to give him a hand, but Selul turned a blind eye and climbed up on his own, picking up the exploded paladin's shield.
He looked at the shield of the paladin, and then at his transformed armor. He looked thoughtful. If he wanted to fight Gavin, he must first find a more powerful shield, a better armor, and a mental shock to the other party.
.
If he had been in a life-and-death struggle just now, the few seconds he spent unconscious on the ground would have been enough to kill him several times.
Seeing that Seluer had regained his composure, he was no longer obsessed with purifying Vizeme Manor.
Naturally, Darnell would not get entangled in this matter, and wisely chose to ignore it, making up his mind that when he returned to the monastery, he would leave this trouble to his teacher or the monastery.
This kind of extreme temperament, in many cases, is not a help but the source of disaster. If you are not careful, it will push the team into an irreversible situation.
Such examples are not uncommon for Darnell.
He kept a respectful distance from such holy warriors.
After all these twists and turns, Darnell was naturally unable to make another request to stay at Vizeme Manor for one night.
He took several apprentices with him and returned to the Tessel camp.
By the time they finished praying at dawn the next day, Gavin had made all preparations.
Loading heavy goods onto ships and trucks is a big trouble for ordinary people.
For Gavin and the Wezeme Manor, it was a piece of cake.
A few tree men took action, and it only took a matter of minutes.
There were five heavy trucks filled with ghost wine, but Gavin brought six tree men - Broken Thorn and Wuliu.
