Chapter 350 The wonderful use of building shadows
Although the ghost wine auction has ended, Gavin feels even busier.
Only when the exchanged materials are fully utilized can they realize their value.
After sending Lord Ilmet and the Grand Inquisitor of Valon away one after another.
Gavin just took the time to visit the new village and said to Copperfield, who was busy at the construction site: "General, from now on, your position will no longer be here, but at the Yevin Pond and on the Asaba River.
"
A smile appeared on Copperfield's rigid face and he said: "I have been waiting for these words from the lord."
His main ability is on the water, and a warship is the most suitable mount for him.
"Follow me." Gavin took Copperfield straight to the Anbao Boat Village in Yewen Pond.
On one side of the boat village, there are two brand-new cargo ships docked.
These two cargo ships were not like this when they first arrived in Gavin's hands.
Instead, it was old, worn, scarred, and could not withstand strong winds and waves, so it was sold to Gavin at a discount of 3,000 yuan.
This was the work of those dragon-blooded kobold restorers for five whole days.
After just a glance, Copperfield said with familiarity: "These are two long ships, with a total length of twenty-three meters. There is a ram hidden under the water at the bow, except for a mast that can hang a square sail.
, and there are fifty oar positions. When the sailors are full and the wind direction is suitable, the speed can reach about ten knots. If it is against the current, it will be three to four knots. The cargo capacity is fifty tons or one hundred and twenty tons.
soldier."
"How many sailors are needed to make it move without considering the speed?" Gavin doesn't need it to be very fast at the moment. The main thing is that it can move and transport cargo.
Copperfield replied without thinking: "Ten to fifteen people are enough, but if you want it to have a certain self-defense capability, you need to equip it with twenty-five to thirty people, and the equipment is mainly bows and crossbows.
"
At this time, the two of them had already boarded the longship. Gavin pointed at the rows of equipment placed on it and said: "I have already helped you get the equipment. You, the sailor, are responsible for it. In three days, I will ask them to move them."
You are responsible for arranging the corresponding duties on the ship."
When it comes to maneuvering a warship, Gavin knows nine things out of ten—but knows nothing about it.
Professional matters are naturally left to professionals, who are only responsible for the logistical support they are good at.
"Promise to complete the mission." Copperfield said, patting his chest.
After delivering the two flat-bottomed longships to Copperfield, Gavin directly activated the Dragon Oak Mother Tree's error-free teleportation technique and returned to the Dragon Oak Territory.
There is one more thing he needs to verify.
Is the shadow of the buildings at Vizeme Manor a distanceless one?
Gavin walked to a pile of high-quality stones that had been prepared long ago, and focused his thoughts on the shadow of the special ability building.
The shadow of Weizeme Manor suddenly appeared behind him.
Waves of negative energy poured into Gavin's shadow.
With a thought in his mind, Gavin hurriedly manipulated the shadow to wrap around the stone.
The negative energy immediately found an outlet and was continuously injected into the stone.
There is a door!
There was a hint of joy on Gavin's face that he couldn't hide. His guess was correct.
The ability to shadow a building inherits the characteristics of shadow, allowing it to be directly dragged over long distances regardless of the distance in the material plane.
With the injection of negative energy, these stones are disappearing from top to bottom.
It can be expected that the exact opposite scene will definitely happen in Weizeme Manor.
Although it was for the purpose of experiment, it was not easy to return from the Vizeme Manor, so naturally it was necessary to transform as much as possible.
The finest building stones are found everywhere in the rocky areas.
But it has become a scarce commodity in the land of Three Rivers.
Including the Dun Hills where the Hammer of Justice is located, there are no suitable quarrying sites. It is dominated by earth mountains, the rock formations are deep, and the rocks are mostly limestone, which is not suitable for use as building stones.
This stone is an excellent material for cement and glass.
The Hammer of Justice Monastery has its own glaze and glass firing workshop. The spirits produced in their monastery are all made by themselves.
The ghost wine sold this time will be packaged later, and half of the bottles come from here.
From now on, the wine bottles at Vizeme Manor will all be from the Hammer of Justice Abbey. This is one of the agreements they have just signed, and there is no need to pay for it. After all, the production costs cannot be borne by Gavin alone.
When they cannot invest in intangible capital like Regina, they can only work on tangible assets.
Although Wallon is not a shrewd businessman, he is good at dealing with people.
The benefits of the world are not free of charge.
You must put in matching efforts to be able to survive for a long time, especially when working with others.
Therefore, there was a donation of ghost wine money first, and then there was a subsequent initiative to give away profits, and a delicate balance was found from this.
In addition to Gavin's irreplaceable role for them, Wallon is also very optimistic about this young man and hopes that he will bring different changes to the stagnant valley.
There are quite a few dragon-blooded kobolds who are proficient in the soft stone technique, and there are many dragon oak leaders, and they have already been recorded.
But the dragon-turned-kobold, who is proficient in stone shaping, now only has three or two kittens.
Just as Gavin originally speculated, if you want to activate dragon transformation, you not only need to activate the professional template, but also need to be at least level five or above.
Such kobolds are quite rare.
Everyone with the ability to shape stone is one of the most important strategic resources of Dragon Oak, occupying important jobs and cannot be used easily - such as the solidification of mines.
It is not yet mature to extract a large number of kobolds with stone shaping skills and start magical construction.
I can only think of another way.
The carrying capacity of Vizeme Manor is calculated based on weight, not building area.
A little carrying capacity can convert a ton of high-quality bluestone.
Gavin transformed a total of 200 tons.
It sounds like a lot, but it's actually only about thirty cubic meters.
If calculated based on modern carrying capacity, it would be the carrying capacity of five or six heavy-duty trucks.
But in terms of the carriage's carrying capacity, it's staggering. It would have to be at least a hundred double-horse heavy-duty carriages.
Gavin's abnormal behavior even alarmed the Virginia lord, who asked curiously: "Why did you bring so many bluestones to the manor? Shouldn't it be built here in the Dragon Oak Territory, built by the kobolds?"
Okay, how about just converting it into a finished building?"
She knew the true situation of the Wezeme Manor very clearly.
Gavin said with a mysterious face: "I have other uses, just wait and see!"
"What new tricks are you planning to play?" Virginia looked at Gavin's expression and left in no hurry.
According to her understanding of this man, as long as he shows this appearance, he must be playing some new and original tricks.
The posture of Weizeme Manor confirms this point.
Broken Thorn, Black Heather, Wuliu, and Gavin's core tree warrior generals are all there.
It's just that Wuliu is not in the manor, but in an open space outside the manor. It is in a rooted state. The five trees are distributed in a ring. The open space surrounded by them is filled with stones that Gavin has just transformed.
These stones were naturally dragged by the broken thorns and black heather that were moving in and out.
Wisps of black mist are overflowing from the stones surrounded by the five willows, and then are absorbed by the five willows, and then absorbed back into the Vizeme Manor.
Seeing this situation, Lord Virginia was stunned and said: "Are you using the manor as a teleportation circle?"
Gavin said with unconcealable pride in his expression: "It's just that this method can only transfer dead objects. Ordinary living objects cannot withstand such a large amount of negative energy infusion, and it is one-way, and the efficiency is not particularly high."
, but it’s better than nothing.”
"You don't want to be good when you get a cheap deal." The Virginia lord rolled his eyes at his man angrily and said, "Do you know how long it will take for me to transfer so many stones? It will take at least a month for your kind of transformation and transfer.
This method is second only to high-level portals, and ordinary restricted portals cannot achieve this effect."
"Let me tell you, I do seem a bit greedy, haha..." Gavin laughed happily, "When you go back, you can start building a barn at Eagle Cliff."
This experiment also cleared the last obstacle to building a barn on the manor.
When the grain comes out of the warehouse, Wu Liu will be responsible for purifying it.
After the experiment was successful, Gavin was like a big boy who found a new toy. He spent the next few days spinning around it.
In addition to continuing to transport stones, there is another place of use - the ship tomb in Yewen Pond.
If we wanted to lift out the old boats here, we originally had to wait until the water level in Yevin Pond surged during the Komanso rainy season.
They are no longer needed now. Just drag them to the Vizeme Manor. After they are completely repaired, they can recover the negative energy and transport them back to Yevin Pond.
What is a big project for others, is nothing more than a simple matter for Gavin.
"There are many abandoned and sunken ships. Isn't this a ship graveyard in the nearby waters?"
"As always, why did the lord bring us here?"
"I don't know. The Lord's thoughts are not something we can guess."
"Shadow, look, look at the lord's shadow, it seems to be alive and moving on its own."
"It's not easy to talk nonsense. How can the shadow move on its own? Hiss...really, what kind of ability is this?"
"It's rare to find many monsters. It's nothing more than controlling shadows or controlling shadows. It's normal for the lord to have such an ability."
"It's not unusual to control shadows, but have you ever seen a shadow that can eat?"
Manipulating the shadow to engulf the sunken ship that was half exposed on the water bit by bit, especially when a cold aura filled the air.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a horrifying scene.
The Tethyr sailors who drove Gavin to the ship's grave in their flat longships were shocked. They only felt their scalps numb and chills rising from the soles of their feet.
Fortunately, Gavin now has a very majestic image in their minds, equated with omnipotence.
Can a man who can make millions a day with just a few clicks be an ordinary person?
Forcibly resisting the urge to jump away and escape, they carefully observed the fantastic scene in front of them. They felt that the shadow under Gavin's control looked very much like the ghost manor.
Not to mention those ordinary Tethyr sailors, even the experienced Copperfield was shocked and asked dumbfounded: "Lord, what on earth is going on?"
"Ghost Manor has the ability to turn things into shadows and drag them into the manor through the shadow plane, while Wuliu has the effect of purifying negative energy." Gavin briefly introduced it.
"Hiss, hiss..." Copperfield took a breath of air and his eyes widened, "This ability is really too powerful. Coupled with the spell-like abilities of those kobolds, these sunken ships are completely destroyed.
It will take a few days to repair..."
As he spoke, Copperfield suddenly thought of a possibility, and his hands trembled involuntarily and said, "Lord, is there any distance limit for this shadow transformation?"
"Theoretically, there shouldn't be. At least in Faerûn, the problem shouldn't be particularly big." Gavin answered conservatively.
