This is not the earth, many creatures and nature, with the gods, with the law, etc., have a deep tone, many things are integrated into the bones, into the soul, trying to change this nature, will only achieve half the result.

Why should kobolds change their nature, which is very beneficial to themselves?

Is it for the sake of so-called fairness and freedom?

This is a typical example of imposing one's own subjective thoughts on others.

Follow the trend to get twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, no matter how his power expands in the future, he is ready to divide and rule the kobolds.

It's not that there is no reward and punishment system at all, but this reward and punishment system is not ordinary wealth, but rewards for things related to dragons, such as being responsible for delivering food to a dragon, such as being a guard for a dragon's nest.

In the eyes of humans, this is a fucking chore.

But in the eyes of kobolds, this is the supreme glory, the ladder to strengthen—this is not just words, but a real situation.

The kobold's bloodline is too susceptible to the dragon's influence, even if it only lives in a place with the dragon's presence for a long time, it is easy to stimulate the bloodline to mutate, and it has a direct impact on the dragon's own strength.

The more powerful the dragon, the greater the number of kobolds affected at one time, the greater the possibility of kobold bloodline awakening, and the less time to stimulate kobold bloodline awakening.

That's why the kobold tribes that serve the mighty dragons are even stronger.

Kobolds should not be called kobolds, but doglegs, and they are born to follow and serve dragons.

After listening to Gavin's explanation, Gose's mother nodded involuntarily and said: "Quarrymen who don't need to be paid and don't need to send extra troops to protect them, there is really nothing more suitable than this, and I am a little moved by what you said." ”

For many quarries, the aboriginal monsters in the mountains and hills where they are located are also a headache.

Large-scale clean-up is an unrealistic solution, and the only way to do it is to send troops to protect it, which will naturally increase the cost of mining.

Gose's mother also sighed and sighed, it is not an uncommon thing to adopt the monster race for her own use, but not everyone can do it, at least let her do it, she has no clue.

After sorting out the information in this area a little, Gose's mother replied one by one: "If you are mining, there is a suitable area near Anfil Village, and more than ten kilometers to the east, there is the South Ridge of Shiqiao Hill, where there used to be a good quarry, but it was abandoned many years ago, and it is said that there are deformed monsters here, and this matter has a certain relationship with my Joy Hall." ”

"Tell me about it." Gavin looked interested.

Just like those ghost castles and ghost manors, this kind of abandoned property, also known as the Lost Land, can be said to be abundant in Faerun.

It is also an important source of income for mercenaries, who are either hired to reclaim such areas or take their own initiative to reclaim them and then sell them to interested buyers.

There is another one, called Pioneer Knight.

Their status is somewhere between a noble lord and an adventurer, but they have no inherited land and property, and can only go to non-human lands to explore.

Some places recognize this kind of knight, especially the kind of city-state alliance, because it is an excellent way for them to expand their territory.

Some places do not admit it, and this kind of place is usually a feudal country or a slave country, such as Kalinsan, and then Tesser, because in the eyes of those rulers and nobles, even if it is a wilderness, it is their land, even if it is carved out by their own strength, either swear allegiance to him, pay taxes and tribute, or get out, everything is theirs.

With the exception of Cormier and Sambia, the rest of the Northland recognized this kind of knight, even the village of Anfil, which was only one hundred and forty or fifty kilometers away from Waterdeep.

"My Hall of Joy used to be the country house of the Xente family, and its last owner, Baron Del Rhodes, became so eccentric in his old age that he completely abandoned the high life of Waterdeep and relocated here, indulging in necromancy experiments in pursuit of immortality.

In addition to this, he also conducts experiments on human modification, which are said to be all contrary to the common sense of the human body, adding extra limbs to the body, attaching eyes to the back of the head, or other superfluous organs.

But one night, Baron Del Rhodes mysteriously disappeared from his villa, and his test specimen escaped into the Stonebridge Hills, where he is said to have made his home in the old stone factory, where he still lives.

Later, his villa fell into the hands of an adventuring party known as the Five Swords, who used it as their headquarters, but this did not last long, and after only a quarter, they, like Baron Del Rhodes, disappeared into the villa, leaving only starving mounts. ”

"You're not going to tell me that you bought this villa and transformed it into the current Hall of Joy, right?" Gavin's expression changed slightly.

"That's right." Gose's mother nodded in the affirmative.

"One mysterious disappearance can be explained by chance, two times is not, it is very likely that the third or fourth time will happen, you are not afraid that the same thing will fall on you?" Gavin couldn't help but ask.

"Didn't you choose to take this inn even though you knew it was ghostly? Aren't you worried about bad things happening to you? Gosse's mother didn't answer the rhetorical question.

Gavin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: "So, before you bought this villa, you had already investigated the reason for their secret disappearance?" Or has this matter been resolved? In this case, I am worried in vain. ”

"Even so, thank you for your concern." There was a smile on Gose's mother that couldn't be concealed, after all, the other party's reaction was a sign of concern for them.

"Do you know how many specimens have escaped from here? Are there any research materials left by the old nobleman or something? Gavin didn't inquire deeply about the cause of the disappearance in the first place.

Because this may involve the secret of Gose's mother, if the other party is willing to say it, he will say it a long time ago, and he will not wait for himself to ask.

"Nope." Gose's mother shook her head and said, "Before it came into my hands, it had already passed several hands, and the things that originally belonged to the old nobles had long been destroyed, even if it was the information I had, a large part of it was hearsay, if it weren't for someone who had seen similar deformed monsters on the side of the stone bridge hills, this legend would not necessarily be true." ”

"Looks like I'll have to find out on my own." Gavin then asked, "Kobolds are distributed?" Also in the Stone Bridge Hills. ”

"There are indeed kobold dens in the Shiqiao hills, but the number is relatively small, the largest number of kobolds on the side of the Sword Mountains, they have owners, they are a swift peng, and they harass the war horses here all year round......"

"So it's it, we've already dealt with it, and on the first day I came to Anfil Village, if I didn't know about its special ability to twist and hijack magic, I would have knocked it down." Gavin is not boasting, but he does have this strength, but for the sake of safety, he was unwilling to take unnecessary risks, and some of the more dangerous methods were not rashly tried.

For example, the realm of undead revenge was not opened at that time, and the other two designated enemies did not try to use it again.

Any spell ability is not unsolvable, especially this kind of prohibition, domain spells, in the end, it involves consciousness and spell confrontation, who has a stronger ability to control magic and laws, the higher the professional level, and the greater the possibility of victory, he can let himself suppress the other party.

"If you really have the ability to knock it down, it will be easier for you to negotiate a deal with the war horses of those horse farm owners, who have jointly offered a sky-high bounty in order to eliminate this scourge, and the total bounty has exceeded 100,000." If anyone of the same age said this in front of Gose's mother, she thought that the other party was bragging, but the person in front of her must be stating the facts, "For you, the value of a simple bounty is relatively limited, but if you use it as a bargaining chip in the transaction, you can further reduce the price when they make an offer, and the final value created will be far more than 100,000." ”

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

Gavin suddenly showed a heartfelt look and said: "You still have one less count, as long as you kill it, its kobold, I can also find a way to absorb it, it can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stone, and when I have time, I have to send a letter to those horse farm owners to let them know about it, I take the initiative to attack and they beg me to attack, it is completely two different concepts." ”

"This kind of thing, you can't do it yourself, but you need someone to beat the side drum next to you." Gose's mother didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and said with a smile, "It's better to do this, you only prepare for dragon slaying, and I'll do the rest, what do you think?" ”

"This ......," Gavin said with some embarrassment, "there are already too many places to trouble the lady. ”

"This kind of thing is not a trouble, at most it is to move the skin, which is what I am best at, if it is replaced by asking me to help you slay the dragon, then don't even think about it." Gother's mother stared at Gavin with an expectant look and said, "I really want to see how capable you are and what kind of changes you can bring to this small village that has remained unchanged for more than ten years. ”

"I'm going to live up to my lady's expectations." Gavin reassured with his head held high.

He still has this confidence, or he has never been here, and once he has come, he will definitely leave an indelible mark on this village, and everything is just the beginning.

"If there is nothing else, I will leave first, and the two of you will find it at the Hall of Joy after breakfast tomorrow morning." Gother's mother waved her hand, signaling that Gavin didn't need to send it, and walked straight through the alley and returned to her Hall of Pleasure.

Gavin arranged for Anna to lead the kobold builders to continue the initial jigsaw puzzle, after all, the number of spells cast per day is limited, and it won't take long for them to be all cast, and they can't wait for the number of casts to recover.

Spell repair and manual repair, the two schemes are mixed and crossed, and the efficiency is faster, especially after the builders of other races are in place one after another, the speed of manual repair is also considerable.

After arranging the corresponding matters, Gavin followed Gose's mother to the Hall of Pleasure, by this time, most of the escort girls had already gotten up for breakfast and lunch, and they were chatting in twos and threes.

Seeing Gavin come in, they couldn't help but greet him one after another, although there were still a lot of people who threw flattering eyes at him, but they were far from being as enthusiastic as when they came on the first day, at least there was no more exhibitionist-like perverted behavior, after these short days of getting along, they knew that the young man's mind and means in front of him were far more than his appearance, and it was useless for him to simply seduce him, just as he came to find Gose's mother.

As soon as he saw Gavin, the tall Drala immediately greeted him enthusiastically: "Mr. Gavin, you are really a rare bartending genius, I can't imagine that you can make such a unique contemplative cocktail just by learning to mix for a few days, and actually help me recover that part of the lost memory, I owe you a kindness, if you need anything in the future, just ask." ”

Retrieving Lost Memories?

Does the Contemplative Cocktail have this unique effect?

Even the party Gavin was a little blind, but he remained silent on the surface: "You don't need to thank me for this, what I planted for you is just a seed of affection, what flowers bloom and what fruits you bear, you still need to look at yourself, I estimate that it is completely your own heart knot that you have opened the knot, and it is not my credit to be able to bear the results of the pain that you can't bear." ”

This kind of thing is inherently ambiguous, and it is right no matter how you say it.

"Anyway, thanks to Mr. Meditation cocktail." Drala, on the other hand, insisted on her own and put the credit on the unique cocktail, "I'll help you get Mother Goseer out." ”

"I'm not here to find Ms. Gother." Gavin laughed, "I'm here to hire escort girls, the kind that needs to be ridden out." ”

"You're here to hire escort girls?" Drala repeated Gavin's words, but her voice was a little high, and it instantly spread through most of the Hall of Joy.

These words are like stabbing a hornet's nest, those escort girls who are still a little lazy and idle, one by one, suddenly came to their senses, buzzed, and all surrounded them, many of them jumped directly from the second and third floors just like the first time they saw Gosse's mother.

Although he is not as light and elegant as Gose's mother, he also shows good skills, and he is by no means a weak ordinary person, many of them are bards or thieves who have opened the professional level, and they have several ranks.

So, from the very beginning, Gavin didn't dare to treat them like ordinary escort girls.

Actually, the situation at the Antler Pot Tavern was similar, the six waitresses were all thieves with several professional ranks, and the throwing knives were not used with ordinary precision.

"Mr. Gavin, hire me, hire me, my singing and dancing are all one in the Hall of Joy."

"Since it's an outing mission, it definitely involves horseback riding, and my riding skills are very exquisite, and I can follow my husband wherever he wants."

"Elect me, Mr. Gavin elect me, I can serve Mr. for free."

Those escort girls tweet self-recommendation, although many of them are professionals, but the growth environment makes them different from ordinary professionals, and they do not have their pride of being superior to ordinary people, and even seem more humble than ordinary people.

People's mentality, in many cases, is not affected by the occupational level, but by the living environment.

It's not that they're not interested in Gavin at all, on the contrary, they're more interested, they're just thinking about a more suitable opportunity to get close to him, but they didn't expect that he himself would send it to the door, and naturally he didn't want to let go of this good opportunity to catch a golden beetle.

This chaotic scene made Gavin wonder if he had made a wrong choice, but if he wanted to use these escort girls in the future, he had to take this step today.

Gavin didn't care to distinguish carefully, and before more escort girls rushed up, he directly dragged the nearest one to him and fled: "It's her." ”

"I didn't expect Mr. Gavin to have this taste, hey, it seems that in the future, I won't have a chance."

"Yes, yes, people can't look good, Mr. Gavin usually looks so pure, why does he like this?"

"Hee-hee...... Wouldn't my chances be greater, I was just coming out late, otherwise Mr. Gavin would have chosen me instead of Loren. ”

"Actually, it's not that there is no chance at all, as long as Mr. Gavin likes it, it's a big deal to go to the City of Radiance, spend money to hire those mages, and keep a shrinking spell on my body, and when the time comes, I will not be an ordinary halfling, but a half-elf halfling, ha...... I'm so smart, I didn't think of it before! ”

"Shameless, you are shameless fake, halflings are a unique race, even if you use magic effects to present similar effects, you are still shrunken half-elves, shrunken humans, not original halflings."

"Hahaha...... This kind of thing, I guess you care about it, as long as it's beautiful enough, do you think those men will care about the truth or falsehood? When the time comes, the real becomes the fake, and the fake becomes the real, like her breasts......"

"Shameless ......"

Looking at the escort girl selected by Gavin, most of the escort girls couldn't help but sigh.

It was a halfling who was only half as tall as a normal person, although the halfling escort girl named Loren didn't look bad at all, but the difference in body size was there, and the two sides were one model apart.

Gavin, in particular, is also considered tall among humans, while the escort girl is petite and delicate among halflings, and the disparity is even greater.

But some people's tastes are unique, and they always like something unexpected.
