What makes people feel a little uneasy is that the spells that can use ghost wine as a substitute for casting materials are usually magic control and dark spells related to the undead. After all, they need to use negative energy.
No light spells use negative energy.
But that's all. Gavin and the others cannot stop selling and producing ghost wine just because of its potential utilization.
The ghost wine later showed a series of characteristics that are difficult to copy and have many uses. Even though it has major defects such as being difficult to store and easy to spill, the market price is still soaring. The current retail price has reached 230.
It's usually not easy to get started.
At the ghost wine special auction, 10,000 bottles of ghost wine were auctioned.
At first glance, it sounds like there are a lot of them.
But in the entire Sea of Fallen Stars region, and even in the entire Faerûn.
Ten thousand bottles of ghost wine were distributed among dozens of caravans, which was really a pitiful amount. Many big cities could only distribute a few dozen bottles at best.
As for the overflow problem, not a single one came to question Gai Wenxingshi.
Don't underestimate the energy of these businessmen.
Not to mention whether the money in their hands can be manipulated by ghosts, at least many businessmen themselves have a good professional level.
Blocking the flow of energy is not a particularly difficult task for spellcasters.
If that's not enough, there are also small cylinders of healing medicine.
This is very common in the market, but it is very expensive.
If you put it in separately, you can at least stop the loss!
At worst, the cost is evenly distributed into the selling price of the ghost wine. For these profiteers, this skill is extremely skillful.
If any businessman could not even think of such a stupid method, he would have been eliminated by the cruel business competition long ago.
"It's successful, it's successful. Congratulations Sir, we have found the optimal concentration and optimal negative energy growth table." Daphne ran up to Gavin at a speed that was almost running, with an unconcealable joy in her expression.
.
After Midsummer's Day, dancing with the fairies.
The shadows in Weizeme Manor seem to have undergone some kind of qualitative transformation.
The situation is very similar to that of Estelle and her daughter. A life force seems to have been injected into their bodies, and they are showing more and more human-like features.
Especially the Earthbound Shadow and the Prisoner Soul of Black Heather transformed by Estelle and her daughter.
Their transformation manipulators themselves are not simply undead, but a combination of life and death.
It possesses the characteristics of life, but controls the power of death.
Originally they just lacked the core essence of life, but now it has been injected into them.
At first glance, it looks like it was given by a fairy.
When we really get to the bottom of it, the reason lies in the dragon oak mother tree.
That night, the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and the Vizeme Manor completed a true connection.
The two have completed a certain degree of energy and essence exchange.
The Wyzeme Manor has injected the power of death into the Dragon Oak Tree - just like Gavin, this power is not in the body, but in the shadow, the shadow of the Dragon Oak Tree.
Don’t think that the Dragon Oak Mother Tree is only related to life. Death is also closely connected with it. Its roots also need to absorb energy, especially those rotten substances. Its size is so large and the demand is particularly terrifying. When the power of death is integrated into
When it is in the shadow and root system, it can strengthen its ability in this aspect and help it absorb quickly.
On the contrary, the Dragon Oak Mother injects a vitality into the Vizeme Manor.
This force directly binds the Vizeme Manor and the vineyard, that is, the vineyard is also part of the Vizeme Manor.
The most intuitive expression is that the shadows that were originally bound to the Vizeme Manor can extend their range of activities into the vineyards. They can appear and appear at will as long as the shadows of the vineyards are shrouded.
The vines are tangled and the vineyard is as tall as a person, which is very suitable for them to hang out, even in broad daylight.
However, this feature is of little use to other shadows, except for a very small number of privileged people such as Estelle, her daughter, and Daphne.
Because they are just a group of miserable shadow workers, the kind that work 24 hours a day, with a full work schedule, so how can they have time to hang out?
Among them, the one who benefited the most was definitely Daphne. She directly opened up the same virtual reality transformation ability as Estelle and her daughter, and had two forms.
This is related to its extraordinary professional level. Other shadows do not activate this ability even if they are closer to people.
The specific situation remains to be verified later.
Compared to the entity, Daphne spends most of her time in a shadow state because this state is more convenient, whether in daily life or when doing research related to negative energy.
Especially for the latter, the shadow state has unique advantages.
"Great, the results are finally here. If it were a few days later, we would have to make a batch of ordinary wine first. We can wait, but these grapes can't wait." Gavin could not hide the joy in his expression.
As the saying goes, busy farming waits for no one.
Especially since the Vizeme vineyard is so large, once the grapes are ripe, they will be ripened together in large quantities.
However, there have been twists and turns in the brewing process of ghost wine, and it is inevitable that we are a little worried.
"Lord, why don't you try the first bowl of ghost wine we brewed? I think it has a more unique taste than the previous batch, because it not only contains negative energy, but is also mixed with life force. It's another form for me.
Very tonic." Daphne handed a bottle of ghost wine to Gavin.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Gavin's thoughts couldn't help but move.
Could this be related to Leprechaun Midsummer Night?
The grapes in this vineyard of Vizeme Manor have become a little different? They are tainted with the aura of fairies? Or in other words, the vitality of the dragon oak mother tree.
Should I use this batch of grapes to brew a batch of ordinary wine and see if there are any unique effects?
wrong.
This approach is generally wrong.
The grapes here, no matter how rich their life energy is, are only affected by the Fairy Wilderness and the Dragon Oak Mother Tree overnight.
It is impossible to compare with the grapes produced in the Fairy Wilderness, and it is even worse than the grapes grown directly under the mother dragon oak tree or under the shade of the tree.
Brewing goblin wine is something that belongs to the goblin wilderness. To make it yourself is simply putting the cart before the horse.
The right way is to continue to dig deeper into the value of ghost wine and turn it into a unique signature of Chateau Vizeme.
As he shook the wine bottle in his hand, the liquid inside was not simply black, but had a lingering rich green color that floated and swayed in it.
That's right.
That is indeed the life force belonging to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, although it is very thin.
Gavin thought about it, and these greens immediately began to gather in the wine bottle, forming the appearance of a towering tree. Who else could it be if it wasn't the mother dragon oak tree.
Standing behind the black shadow of the Vizeme Manor, the two complement each other, making it even more classy.
He opened the bottle cap and took a sip directly from the bottle.
It still has the familiar refreshing taste, just as expected, the taste is indeed extraordinary when drinking it in midsummer, and most of the summer heat is gone at once.
After swallowing, there is a sweet feeling that echoes between the mouth and tongue.
Only after entering the stomach can one notice the difference between new wine and old wine.
Old wine is just cold and will slowly absorb the heat from your whole body.
In addition to the coldness of the new wine, there is also a vitality that drifts with the current and lingers in the weakest part of the body, continuously warming and repairing it.
If used for evil activities.
New wine is definitely not as pure as old wine, because it is pure negative energy, and new wine is equivalent to being mixed with impurities.
But if it is used for serious purposes, such as as auxiliary training supplies for paladin warriors, the value will be even higher.
That life force will play a supporting role in this process, and even help them spy on their own weaknesses and flaws.
Delphine added next to her: "The biggest role of this vitality is not here yet. It can play a balancing role in it, allowing a bottle of wine to contain more negative energy."
"Increase the upper limit of storage? How much can it be increased?" The negative energy contained in ghost wine also has an upper limit.
"The negative energy level can be increased to 5%." Daphne replied.
The negative energy scale is a standard developed by Gavin and his colleagues to measure the negative energy content of ghost wine.
This standard is basically the same as alcohol content.
That is, 100% is the limit - pure alcohol.
The negative energy level of 5% means that there are 5ml of negative energy in 100ml of wine.
Don't think that 5% is very low. This is invisible energy, not transformed by substances like alcohol.
It's impossible to do it 100%. In that case, it will be pure negative energy instead of ghost wine.
The negative energy content of ghost wine sold at auction is about 0.1%.
Previously, when the energy was poured to the extreme, the level of negative energy was only about 3%. Now, based on the original level, it has increased by nearly twice, which is quite astonishing.
"Very good!" Gavin nodded with satisfaction, "What about the renovation work of the wine cellar with different negative energy levels?"
The final negative energy level of ghost wine depends on the negative energy level of the external environment.
The higher the negative energy level, the higher the negative energy level of the final ghost wine produced.
At present, the negative energy level of Vizeme Estate is around 0.2%. If nothing is done, the most negative energy level can be produced is ghost wine.
This index can also be called the ghost index.
As long as this index reaches above 0.05, the probability of ghosts appearing here will be greatly increased. The higher the index, the greater the possibility.
The index was 0.1 before the Vizeme Manor was recaptured, and now it is 0.2, which has doubled.
Want to produce a more concentrated ghost wine.
Sending people inside to guide is one way, but the disadvantages of adding the leader's emotions are first, and the second is that the efficiency is too low.
It is far inferior to injecting large quantities by yourself.
The method is not difficult, just build a sealed wine cellar and place a spirit-gathering array inside.
Gather enough negative energy and maintain a certain ghost index all year round.
For Daphne, this matter belongs to her professional ability and she is very good at it. Especially in a special environment like the Vizeme Manor, it is naturally easier.
"The first group of 0.5, 1 and 2 spirit-gathering wine cellars have been arranged. The second group and 3 will be arranged together in ten days. However, going up further will far exceed the ability of the spirit-gathering array to gather negative energy.
The energy is not dissipated as fast. In fact, the consumption of 3 is already very large. I used it as the core wine cellar, placed it in the center of other wine cellars, and sandwiched it with two 2, to barely achieve it.
A wine cellar can accommodate a large fermentation barrel, and one barrel can hold two thousand ghost wines." Daphne replied.
The level of negative energy filled in Vizeme Manor has exceeded the outer area of the Shadow Plane and is close to the central area.
Now the Juling Wine Cellar is even more ruthless, with a ghost index of 3, which has reached the concentration in the core area of the Shadow Plane.
Ordinary people would immediately turn into ghosts if they stayed there for one night.
"The total capacity of 14,000 sticks was barely enough before the Fairy Midsummer Night, but it is far from enough now. At least we need to build another set."
According to initial estimates, the grapes produced by Vizeme Manor this year would be enough to produce 20,000 bottles of ghost wine.
But judging from the current situation, 30,000 units cannot be used to defeat the enemy.
