The effect of the spirit crystal has risen in a straight line, and the value of the spirit crystal pit has also risen.

Gavin already has the heart of the Spirit Crystal Mine, but due to the number of kobold miners, he can't tap the potential of the Spirit Crystal Mine for the time being, so he has been dragging it out.

This incident directly helped him make up his mind.

Such an important strategic material is safest in your own hands, even if the output will decline temporarily.

Cutting off food is naturally the first step.

All that remains is to sit and wait for the Spirit Crystal Mine to empty the previous grain storage, and there will be chaos inside.

Gavin finishes Clay's third day.

The caravan leader, Beder Sage, appeared outside the Black Well tribe in a hurry, this time not with the caravan, but with only two guards.

As soon as they met, Bader asked directly, "Is Clay already dead?" ”

"Yes." Gavin wasn't prepared to hide it at all.

Not only did the caravan need to know about it, but it was not enough to warn it, it also required naked blood.

"What about the four hoplite guards he brought? Did you kill them together? Bader asked anxiously.

"That's not true, I know they're mercenaries, and they have nothing to do with them, but I've just taken them into custody." Gavin pretended not to know and asked, "What's wrong?" Do they have a lot of background? ”

"It's not just a big deal." Hearing that they were still alive, Bader let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Have you heard of the Red Crow Mercenary Regiment?" Dance of Fire Reyana Rose has you heard of? ”

"Nope." Gavin pretended to be lonely and unheard, looking like he was begging for science and teaching.

Although he knew about the Red Crow Mercenary Group, he really didn't know much information.

"The Crow Mercenary Group is the largest mercenary group around the Rocks, so let's put it this way, among all the caravans that start from the valley and pass through the Rocks, there will inevitably be mercenaries from the Crow Mercenary Group, and they regard the Crows as their backyard." Bader patiently explained, "Their regimental leader, Reyana, is a powerful warrior who is only one step away from the legend, and it is definitely not something we can provoke. ”

"What does Uncle mean, Clay's operation this time is not a private operation, but a relationship with the Red Crow Mercenary Group? Did they make it happen? Gavin's heart couldn't help but sink, if this was the case, the nature of the whole thing would change, and the conflict between him and the Red Crow Mercenary Group would be advanced.

Bader was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Brother Gavin, you think too much, the style of the Crow Mercenary Group is not so bottomless, Clay this time, he was purely blinded by greed, and acted privately, but he hired the mercenaries of the Crow Mercenary Group, probably to act in the name of the Crow Mercenary Group, after the incident, to save his life, I didn't expect that Brother Gavin had never heard of the name of the Crow Mercenary Group, too, after all, you just arrived in the rock, and there was too little contact with the outside." ”

"I see." Gavin breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a little embarrassment on his face, "Uncle Bedder, what should we do next?" ”

"Now you know what to ask me for? Why didn't you ask my opinion when you killed Clay? There was a hint of displeasure in Baud's words.

Obviously, he didn't have any opinions about Gavin killing Clay, after all, it was a partner in a group, and he still had feelings to some extent.

"It's not the same." Gavin said with a serious face, "If I really hand Clay over to Uncle Bedd, it will be even more difficult for you, and when the time comes, will you kill or not?"

Kill, and your prestige in the caravan will be seriously affected.

If we don't kill, it will directly undermine the basic bottom line of our cooperation, and when the time comes, everyone wants to meddle indiscriminately for their own interests, and we will fall into endless infighting, not to talk about win-win cooperation at all.

As for the Red Crow Mercenary Regiment, they are outsiders, and of course we must be unanimous with the outside world. ”

"The good and the bad, let you say it alone, and let me say anything?" Bader couldn't help but sigh again and said, "Killing decisively, sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes it's not necessarily, you do this, you offend people too much, block one of your own roads, and let a group of people hold a grudge, Clay is not alone, there is a big family behind him." ”

"So, you're businessmen, I'm just a miner." Gavin looked indifferent, if he did anything, he looked ahead and backward like Bader, everything was ready, he didn't have to do anything.

Bader thought about it seriously and said: "It's also the same reason, if you do everything, there will be nothing for us, the four mercenaries of the Red Crow Mercenary Group will be handed over to me to take away, and I will handle the rest." ”

"Then it's going to be a problem for Uncle Bed." Gavin Le hurriedly threw the four hot potatoes out, although it was inevitable to deal with the Red Crow Mercenary Group in the future, but not now, at least according to the current strength, he didn't want to come into contact with this behemoth head-on - because there was no benefit to take advantage of.

Gavin pondered for a moment, and then said: "Uncle Bed, our business is now spread out, and it is not a way for you to always be so scattered, I suggest that you better set up a chamber of commerce, and hold shares and dividends in the way of how much money is invested, and when the time comes, the business with Heijing will be handed over to a special person to take care of, so you don't need to run one trip by another, and you can completely take a break and do business in other places when the time comes." ”

"You think I don't have that in mind?" Bader couldn't help but sigh again and said, "Ten people have twelve hearts, this one is afraid to earn less, and the other is afraid that others will earn more than him, and it is too difficult to twist them into a rope." ”

"It's hard to do, otherwise, you'll always be a bunch of runners." Gavin said with a hint of arrogance on his face, "It's not me who blows, according to your current pace of development, it won't be long before you can't keep up with my pace, don't blame me for not waiting for you when the time comes." ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Bader showed a solemn expression, Gavin's development speed was placed here.

It's hard to get started.

At the beginning of the rarest, he stepped over so easily.

Not to mention that with the current solid foundation, I believe that the future development speed will be faster and faster.

Judging from the current situation, whether it is in terms of ideas or pace, one day, they may really not be able to catch up.

Bader believes that this day will not be too far away.

When the time comes, once Gavin cooperates with other large chambers of commerce, even if Gavin cares about the old feelings, those large chambers of commerce will not be polite to them, and will squeeze them out little by little for the sake of profit.

No way.

He will never allow this to happen, this is a gold mine that they have dug up with great difficulty, how can it be easily delivered to others?

In any case, it is also necessary to integrate the group of scattered merchants, and they can no longer be allowed to play.

Not only Gavin is worried about the appearance of a second Clay, but Bader is also worried.

Clay's actions were not only prying Gavin's knock on the wall, but also the entire caravan.

"Brother Gavin has said a lot, I will consider this matter carefully, you wait for my good news." Bader shook Gavin's hand and solemnly promised.

"Okay." Gavin also mentioned in passing, he didn't pay much attention to this matter.

I cooperated with Bader and them because I had no channels, so I could only empty the gloves and white wolves, and I had no choice.

Now that he has real goods and has become a seller, the supply and demand are converted, and slowly the merchants will come to the door by themselves.

Bader came fast and went fast. qδ

After talking to Gavin, he left in a hurry with the four heavily armed guards of the Red Crow Mercenary Regiment.

Although he coveted the reloading of the four heavily armed guards, in order not to offend the Crow Mercenary Group, Gavin could only give up.

As soon as Bader walked on the front foot, Gavin got into the alchemy laboratory that Kuroi had just set up.

He was working with the kobold alchemist in the Eagle Cliff Cave to find a way to improve the Tremor Bomb.

To be more precise, Gavin figured out a way, and the kobold alchemist cooperated with the improvement.

The five bumps that blew up the goblin wolf cavalry and the Clay caravan on their backs were the kobolds' special quivering bombs.

In Gavin's opinion, the instability of such a bomb is too high.

Not only the instability of use, but also the instability of power.

As likely as a half-ogre fart and comparable to fireballs.

There are three types of flutter bombs produced by kobolds – weak, strong, and dragon.

The cost of production of a weak flutter bomb is about a hundred gold coins and weighs about half a kilogram.

The lethality is very unsatisfactory, similar to the strong acid bottle, which only deals 1D5 strong acid damage to all creatures within a radius of 3 meters (1-5 points, depending on the splash level).

This kind of flutter bomb, Gavin doesn't even produce it.

The production cost of a strong flutter bomb is about three hundred gold coins, and it also weighs about half a kilogram.

The killing range and lethality have come up, and the splash radius is three meters, but the stability is too poor, and it causes 1D4*1D6 acid damage to creatures within the burst radius.

Such a strange identification technique shows that Gavin has seen it for the first time, and it is estimated that except for kobolds, that is, those who are also unreliable, can make such strange things.

This means that you roll the dice 1d4 and 1d6 and multiply the results to determine the damage it does when it explodes.

As a result, the Flutter Bomb is just as likely to deal 1 damage as it is to deal 24 damage (but is most likely to deal around 9 damage).

The situation of the Dragon Flutter Bomb is similar to that of the Strong Flutter Bomb, except that the production cost reaches a thousand gold coins and weighs more than a kilogram.

The killing radius reaches about five meters, and the damage becomes 1D6*1D8, which is between 1-48.

The kobold alchemist obviously didn't have a sense of secrecy, and didn't mind Gavin watching him make a flutter bomb, because he didn't think Gavin could learn the craft.

As it is, Gavin really can't learn it, because not only material materials are used in it, but also magic is needed to neutralize and blend.

When it comes to magic, don't think about it in one sentence, two sentences can make it clear.

Gavin doesn't know the process of blending, but he still knows some about the basic principles of explosions.

Tremor bombs, two different substances that are clearly used, are mixed by shaking, creating a chemical reaction that explodes and sprays acid.

It must be that the more fully the two substances are mixed, the more powerful the explosion will be, and vice versa.

Gavin is working on this to see if he can find a way to make it more stable and fully mixed.

Once you have your train of thought straightened out, it's not hard to find a solution.

Because he has not only physical and chemical means, but also magical means.

All you need to do is add a small magic wheel to the surface of the tremor bomb, and when you use it, activate it and let it spin wildly, driving the mixture of the two substances.

At that time, even the shaking will be saved, and after a few seconds, you can throw it out.

With the power of the flutter bomb of the swivel wheel, stability skyrockets.

After the improved strong flutter bomb, the kill finally reached 4D6 (between 4-24), and this kill is completely determined according to the degree of strong acid splashing, not the previous one, directly into a dud.

Modified Dragon Tremor Bomb to 6D8 (between 6-48).

There is only a new flaw, and that is that the requirements for using the flutter bomb have been increased, and the ability to mobilize mana must be used to activate the spinner wheel.

Fortunately, the Black Well tribe now has a dragon-seeking ritual, and there are not a few kobolds who open spell-like abilities, which just makes the use of flutter bombs more professional.

In Gavin's eyes, this is just a temporary alternative, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the flutter bomb.

Gavin, who came out of the alchemy laboratory, turned around and went into Anna's chapel again.

Like Gavin's dwellings, there are two grottoes, the one inside serves as Anna's residence, and the outside one is a chapel, with rows of stone chairs except for a small statue of Ilmat, which is rudimentary.

This church, now a makeshift prison, houses Andrew, the special inmate.

In addition to using physical means to limit his ability to escape with quasi-spells, Anna also needs to give him a healing spell from time to time to weaken his energy as much as possible.

"Mr. Andrew, how are you thinking about it?" Gavin began to look impatient, "You know, I can't hold you for long, and if you don't give your real name, I'll have to send you on your way." ”

"Come on, I'll wait." Now, the dog demon has already regarded death as a relief, anyway, he won't really die, he just needs to return to the damn Shura field, and the current life here is even more terrifying than the Shura field.

Gavin sighed a little helplessly, he has too few means now, especially those who can threaten a devil, and when the other party sees death as home, he really has no choice.

"It's impossible to give you your real name." A hint of cunning flashed in the dog demon's orange eyes, "But there is a compromise, I know a binding circle that allows you to sign a master-servant contract with me, and during your lifetime, I will regard you as the master and obey all your orders." ”

"Hey......" Gavin sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid?" Let me believe in a devil's bondage circle, when I was alive, you didn't know if you regarded me as the master, and my soul after death would definitely belong to you, but it was a good calculation. ”

"Just take care of things in life, why care about the afterlife?" The dog demon neither admitted nor denied, "Since you know our race, you should know how high our growth is and how fast we grow, as long as you provide me with enough powerful corpses, soon, I will become your most powerful help, and I will help you clear all obstacles." ”

"You think too highly of yourself." Gavin sneered, "I admit it, I'm optimistic about your potential, especially your gnawing, it's very useful to deal with those who want to make them completely shut up and disappear, but clearing all obstacles, even if you are promoted to the top, you are not qualified, God Butcher, can you?" ”

Gavin's final question is half-truths.

The orange eyes of the dog demon couldn't help jumping, slaughtering God, you dare to say it, if the god is so easy to slaughter, is he still a god?

Gavin used his words to talk to the dog demon again, and after pulling for a while, he found that there was no more to gain, so he could only leave in a huff.

Tonight, dig up your memories one last time to see if you have the ability to use this devil for yourself, and if you don't, you'll have to send him on his way.

When it comes to killing demons and demons, Gavin has a lot of experience in his previous life, whether it is in the material plane or in the abyss and hell, the demons who died in his hands are not one thousand but eight hundred.

But controlling demons, especially those who are known for their cunning, has almost zero experience.

Gavin had just come out of the church on his front foot, and Anna sneaked out on his back foot.

"What's the matter?" Gavin looked at the young priest who was about to say something amused.

As usual, her expression was written on her face, a little complicated.

From above, Gavin could tell the small excitement of touching the taboo, and there was a strong sense of guilt, a little expression that I wanted to tell but couldn't.

"This ...... That one...... It's okay...... There are ......" The snow-white slender fingers of the young pastor are about to condense into twisted flowers.

"If you don't, I'll go." Gavin made a gesture of raising his feet to go.

"Wait...... Wait......" Anna stomped her foot, emotion triumphing over reason, "Mr. Gavin, do you remember the prayer book I brought out of the church?" ”

"Remember? What's wrong? Gavin certainly knew the Maiden Pastor's prayer book, and it was like a baby, if it wasn't too heavy, he would have carried it with him.

"That prayer book is actually a book of demons, and it records a lot of knowledge about demons and devils." The young pastor was a little embarrassed and said, "A lot of knowledge in it is taboo. ”

"Oh? What contraindications? Gavin suddenly became interested, taboos are often linked to power, especially the knowledge that is forbidden by the church, most of which are related to demons and devils, and it is related to the fact that he has just spoken to the dog demon, maybe it has something to do with it.

"This ......" The young priest's gaze was a little wandering, as if she didn't know what was going to happen next, whether she should tell Gavin or not, after all, this was a contract with the devil, not something that she, a priest of Ilmat, should tell others.

Gavin said with a serious expression, "We've been together for a while, Anna, what do you think of me?" ”

"(⊙o⊙)..."The young priest who was struggling, was a little confused by Gavin's sudden question, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on Gavin's face and meet his gaze.

Anna, who was as shy as a fawn, could be the opponent of Gavin, who was a cunning old woman, and the staring lasted only a few seconds, and the young priest's gaze immediately avoided in a panic, and her round little face immediately turned red, like a ripe apple.

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
