It's not like the earth. Many living things are in deep harmony with nature, gods, laws, etc. If many things are not integrated into the bones and souls, trying to change that nature will result in half the effort.
Why do you want to change the nature of kobolds that is very beneficial to you?
Does it deny the so-called fairness and freedom?
Is it typical to impose one's own subjective ideas on their being?
If you follow the trend, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
Therefore, no matter how his power expands in the future, he will be prepared to divide and conquer the kobolds.
Not to mention that there is no reward and punishment system at all, but that kind of reward and punishment system is not ordinary wealth, but uses dragon-related things as rewards, such as being responsible for delivering food to a giant dragon, such as guarding a dragon's nest.
In the eyes of humans, it's nothing like a fucking hard job.
But in the eyes of the kobolds, there is no glory, no ladder to becoming stronger - that is not just talk, but a reality.
Is the kobold's bloodline too easily affected by the dragon? Even just living in a place with a dragon for a long time can easily stimulate the bloodline to mutate, and have a direct impact on the dragon's own strength.
The more powerful the dragon, the more kobolds it affects at one time, the greater the likelihood of the kobolds' bloodline awakening, and the less time it takes to stimulate the kobolds' bloodline to awaken.
That's why the kobold tribe serving the powerful dragon is more powerful.
Kobolds should not be called kobolds, but should be called doglegs. They are born to follow and serve the dragon.
After listening to Gavin's explanation, Gao Se's mother nodded involuntarily and said: "There is really no one more suitable for a quarry worker who does not need to be paid or sent extra troops to protect him. Let me tell you, he is a bit...
My heart is moved."
Unlike many quarries, the indigenous monsters in the mountains and hills where they are located are also a headache.
Large-scale cleanup is an unrealistic method. The only way is to send troops for protection, which will naturally increase mining costs.
Mother Gothel also lamented that it was not a rare thing to adopt a monster race for one's own use, but it was not something that everyone could do. At least let her do it. She had no idea.
After sorting out some information in that area, Gao Se's mother answered one by one: "For mining, there is a suitable area near Anfeier Village. Walk more than ten kilometers east to the Nanling of Shiqiao Hills, where there used to be
It's a good quarry, but it was abandoned many years ago. It's said that there are deformed monsters roaming there. It seems that that incident has a certain connection with his Happy Hall."
"Tell me about it." Gavin looked interested.
Just like those ghost castles and ghost manors, there are so many abandoned properties, also known as lost places, in Faerûn.
This is also one of the main sources of income for mercenaries. They ask for help to recover such areas, or they take the initiative to recover them, and then sell them to interested buyers.
There is another type called pioneer knight.
Whether their status is between noble lords and adventurers, or whether they have no inherited land property, they can go to non-human lands to explore.
Some places recognize that kind of knights, especially the kind of city-state alliance, because it is not an excellent way for them to expand their territory.
Some places do not admit it. Such places are usually feudal countries or slave countries, such as Calimshan and Tethyr, because in the eyes of those rulers and nobles, even if it is not wilderness, it is not their land.
Even if you develop with your own strength, if you swear allegiance to him, pay taxes as tribute, and get out, everything belongs to them.
Except for Cormyr and Sembia, other regions in the North do not recognize that kind of knights, even in the village of Amphail, which is 140 to 50 kilometers away from Waterdeep City.
Mother Gowther recalled something and said: "His Happy Hall was formerly the rural villa of the Fuxent family. Its first owner, Baron Delros, became extremely eccentric in his old age and completely abandoned Waterdeep."
If you move there to live a life of exile, you will pursue immortality and indulge in experiments in necromancy.
In addition, he is very involved in human body modification experiments, which are said to be completely contrary to the common sense of the human body, such as adding extra limbs to the body, installing eyes on the back of the head, or other extraneous organs.
But one night, Baron Delroz mysteriously disappeared in his villa, and his experimental subject took the opportunity to escape from there and fled into the Stone Bridge Hills. It is said that he settled in the abandoned stone factory and is still living there today.
There.
Later, his villa fell into the hands of an adventure group called Five Swords, and they regarded it as their headquarters, but that situation did not last long. After only one season, they were like Del Rhodes.
Like the baron, he disappeared into the villa, leaving Dong alone and hungry."
"I won't tell him that I will buy the villa later and renovate it into the Happy Hall where I live, right?" Gavin's expression changed slightly and he said.
"That's right." Gao Se's mother nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
"One mysterious disappearance can be explained by chance, but two can't be explained. It is very likely that it will happen a third or fourth time. Are we afraid that the same thing will happen to us?" Gavin couldn't help but
asked.
"Wouldn't I choose to take possession of that hotel even though I knew it was haunted by ghosts? Wouldn't I be worried that something bad would happen to me?" Gothel's mother asked the question without answering.
Gavin was stunned and suddenly realized: "So, before I bought the villa, I had already investigated the reason for their secret disappearance? Or had I solved the matter? In that case, he was worried.
"
"Even if that's the case, I still appreciate my concern." Gao Se's mother had a smile that couldn't be concealed on her face. After all, the reaction of the other party was not the expression of their concern.
"Do you know the number of experimental subjects that escaped from there? Are there any research materials that the old noble left behind?" Gavin did not inquire in depth about the original cause of the disappearance in the Happy Hall.
Because there is a secret involving Gao Se's mother. If the wrong party was willing to tell it, he would have told it long ago and would not have waited until he asked.
"No." Gao Se's mother shook her head and said, "Before it got into his legs, it had already passed through several legs. The things that originally belonged to the old noble had been destroyed long ago. Even if he did not have the information, a large part of it was still missing.
If it’s hearsay, if someone has seen a similar deformed monster over at Stone Bridge Hills, that legend may not be true.”
"It seems like he can just investigate on his own." Gavin then asked, "What's the distribution of kobolds? They're also in Stone Bridge Hills."
"There are indeed kobold dens in the Stone Bridge Hills, but they are relatively small in number. The largest group of kobolds is over there in the Sword Mountains. Do they have an owner? Or they are always attacking the war horses there.
…”
"It turns out that they have already dealt with it. On the second day after arriving in Amphier Village, if he had not understood its special ability to twist and hijack magic, he would have stolen it."
Gavin was not bragging to show off, but whether he really had that strength, or because he was not willing to take unnecessary risks for safety reasons, so he did not rush to try some more dangerous legs.
For example, the Immortal Revenge field was not opened at that time, and the other two designated enemies were not tried again.
No spell is invincible, especially the kind of restricted and domain-based spells. The previous ones involve consciousness, spell resistance, who can control magic, and the stronger the ability to control laws, the higher the level of occupation and so on.
, the greater the probability of victory, the more you can suppress the opponent's.
"If I really have the ability to bring it away, it will be easier to negotiate the horse deal with the racecourse owners. If they can eliminate this scourge, they jointly offer a sky-high reward. The total reward has exceeded 100,000.
." If someone of Ren Hehuan's age had said that in front of Gao Se's mother, she would have thought that the other party was bragging, but the person in front of her was definitely stating the facts, "For me,
, the value of a pure bounty is limited, but if I are used as a bargaining chip in the transaction, I can further lower the price when they quote, and the value created in the past will exceed 100,000."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Gavin suddenly showed a look of excitement and said: "I rarely forget about it, so I just want to kill it. He can also find a way to incorporate its kobolds. Can it be considered as killing multiple birds with one stone? I'll give it to those when I have time."
The racecourse owners sent a letter to let them know about this, and there are two completely different concepts between him taking the initiative and them begging him to take action."
"That kind of thing, I can't do it myself, or I need someone to beat the drum by my side." Gao Se's mother typically watched the excitement without taking it too seriously, and said with a smile, "How about that, I will make preparations for slaying the dragon, and I will leave Dongdong.
What do I think about leaving it to him?"
"Well..." Gavin said a little embarrassedly, "There are already too many places to trouble Madam."
"That kind of thing is not a trouble. At most, it's just words. That's what he's best at. If I let him help me slay the dragon, then I wouldn't even think about it." Mother Gao Se said in a tone of voice.
Gazing at Gavin expectantly, he said, "He really wants to see how much patience I have and what kind of changes I can bring to that small village that has remained unchanged for more than ten years."
"He will definitely live up to the lady's expectations." Gavin promised with his head held high.
He has that little bit of self-confidence, but he has never been here before. Once he has been here, he will definitely leave an indelible mark of his own in that village, and everything has just begun.
.
"If there is nothing else, he will leave first. The two of us will have breakfast tomorrow morning and go to the Happy Hall to find him." Gao Se's mother waved her legs, indicating to Gavin and the others that they didn't need to send him away, and walked directly through the alley.
, returned to his own joy hall.
Gavin arranged for Anna to lead the kobold builders to continue the preliminary jigsaw puzzle. After all, the number of spells cast per day was limited, and it would not take long for all of them to be cast. They could not wait idle for the number of spells to be restored.
Spell repair and manual repair, the two methods are mixed and carried out in a crossed manner, which is more efficient. Especially after the constructors of other races are in place one after another, the speed of manual repair is also quite impressive.
After arranging the corresponding matters, Gavin followed Gowther's mother to the Happy Hall. By that time, most of the escort girls had already gotten up and had breakfast and lunch, chatting in twos and threes.
Seeing Gavin come in, they couldn't help but greet him one after another. Although there were still many people ogling him, they were not as enthusiastic as when they came the next day. At least there were no more perverted behaviors similar to exhibitionism. After that short period of time,
After spending several months together, they knew the mind and legs of the young man in front of them, and they wanted to surpass his appearance. It was useless to just seduce him, so they just treated him as if he came to see Gao Se's mother.
As soon as she saw Gavin, the tall Delara immediately greeted him enthusiastically: "Mr. Gavin, you are indeed a rare bartending genius. It is really unimaginable that you have only learned bartending for a few months.
, you can make such a unique mind-viewing cocktail, and actually help him retrieve part of his lost memory. He owes you a favor. If you need anything in the future, just ask."
Recover lost memories?
What kind of unique effect does Guanxin Cocktail have?
Even the person involved, Gai Wen, was a little confused, but remained calm on the surface: "There's no need to thank him for that. What he buried for me was just a seed of emotion. It depends on myself what kind of flowers it will bloom and what kind of fruit it will bear.
He probably recovered the lost memory because I opened my heart and was able to endure the pain that was originally unbearable. It was not his fault."
That kind of thing is inherently ambiguous, and no matter how you say it, it's wrong.
"What do you think? Thanks to Mr. Guanxin Cocktail." Delara insisted on her opinion and attributed the credit to the unique cocktail. "He will help me call Mother Gaother out."
"He didn't come to see Ms. Gowther." Gavin said with a smile, "He came to hire an escort girl, the kind who needs to go out on horseback."
"Am I here to hire an escort girl?" Delara repeated Gavin's words, but her tone was a bit high, which instantly spread throughout most of the entertainment hall.
Those words were like poking a hornet's nest. Those lazy and idle escort girls suddenly became energetic. With a buzzing sound, they all gathered around. Many of them were like the first time they met Gao Se's mother.
The surface is the same, jump directly from the second and third floors to the east.
Although not as nimble and graceful as Mother Gowther, she still showed good skills. She was by no means a weak and inexperienced ordinary person. There were many bards or thieves who had started professional levels, and had several levels of skills.
That kind of.
Therefore, from the beginning, Gavin did not dare to treat them as ordinary escort girls.
In fact, the situation at the Antler Pot Tavern is similar. The six waitresses all have several professional levels of thieves, and their throwing knives are not very accurate.
"Mr. Gavin, hire him, hire him, his singing and dancing are unparalleled in the Happy Hall."
"Since he is going out on a mission, it must involve riding a horse. His riding skills are very superb. He can follow wherever the gentleman wants to go."
"Choose him, Mr. Gavin chooses him, and he can provide services for free."
Those escort girls recommended themselves. Although many of them were not professionals, their upbringing environment made them different from ordinary professionals. They did not have the pride of being superior to ordinary people at all. They even appeared to be much better than ordinary people.
Ask for humility.
People's mentality is often not affected by their professional level, but by their living environment.
They were not wrong that Gavin was not interested at all. On the contrary, they were more interested. They were thinking about a more suitable opportunity to get close to him. Unexpectedly, he actually showed up at the door. Naturally, they were not willing to let go of that kind of thing.
A good opportunity to catch a golden turtle.
That kind of chaotic scene made Gavin couldn't help but wonder if he had made a wrong choice, but if he wanted to use those escort girls in the future, he would have to take that step tomorrow.
Gavin didn't care to distinguish carefully. Before more escort girls came, he directly dragged the one closest to him and ran away: "It's her."
"I didn't expect Mr. Gavin to have that kind of taste. Hey, it seems that he will have no chance in the future."
"No, no, no one is judged by his appearance. Mr. Gavin usually seems to be such an innocent person, why do you like that one mouthful?"
"Hehe... then, wouldn't his chances be greater? He just came out late, otherwise Mr. Gavin would definitely choose him instead of Loren."
"Actually, there is no chance at all. Just ask Mr. Gavin to like him. At worst, he can go to the Glory City, spend money to hire those mages, and perform a shrinking spell while he is there. By then, he will no longer be ordinary.
He is a halfling, not a half-elf. Ha...he is so smart, why didn't I think of that before!"
"Shameless, my shameless fraud, are halflings a unique race? Even if I use magic effects to produce similar effects, they are still shrunken half-elves and shrunken humans, not the original halflings."
"Hahaha... I guess I only care about that kind of thing. I just want to be beautiful enough. Do I think those men care about authenticity? By then, the truth will become false, and the false will become true.
Yes, just like her breasts..."
"Shameless..."
Looking at the escort girl Gavin selected, most of the escort girls couldn't help but sigh.
Is it possible that a halfling is half as tall as a normal person? Although the halfling escort girl named Loren is not bad at all in appearance, could it be that the difference in body shape is because there is a model difference between the two parties?
In particular, Gavin was considered tall and strong among humans, while the escort girl was petite among halflings, and the disparity was even greater.
But some people have unique tastes and always like unexpected things.
