Chapter 480: No Door
"The matter of equipment and material handover will be resolved through negotiation between you, and I will not come forward." Gavin threw the rest of the matter directly to Zalanda and Bloodclaw.
"Okay." The two responded.
Sending the two out of Misty Snow one after the other, Gavin did not return directly, but said in a loud voice: "Come down!" β
This voice travels far, far and wide, through a special soul tremor, and only a very few beings can hear it.
Roar!
With a dragon's roar, a crimson figure descended from the sky.
It is a red dragon that is the size of a four-wheeled carriage.
The legendary arrogant, greedy, and tyrannical red dragon was like a wagging tail begging puppy in front of Gavin, and the dragon said with a flattering smile on his face: "Roderick has seen Lord Lord. β
"You've done a great job, this is the reward for this mission, from now on, you don't need to follow the Bloodclaw Legion anymore, you have a new mission to do." Gavin took a box of gold coins and threw it to the young red dragon.
The one in front of him is an insurance plan that Gavin arranged for the Bloodclaw Legion.
If the Blood Claw goes to the appointment, it will naturally not be activated.
Once he had found another place to put down roots elsewhere, Gavin would be able to find their place with the soul connection between the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and the young Red Dragon.
The insurance can now be removed.
"Thank you Lord for the reward, and I am always at your disposal." The smile on the young man's face became even more flattering, and he took the gold coin box and held it firmly, refusing to let go.
He knew that the gold coin treasure chests given by Gavin were all standard boxes of 10,000, one was not much, and one would not be less, all of them were full weight.
Even when you are free, 10,000 gold coins is not a small amount, let alone as a slave, which is an out-and-out reward.
Especially when he felt the powerful dragon aura remaining on these gold coins, he couldn't help but be a little more careful.
It seems that the legend is true, the lord in front of him, not long ago, just killed a red dragon that was two years older than him, and this is part of the other party's treasure.
Gavin didn't care about the young red dragon's thoughts, but took him directly to Anfil Village.
Bringing him here, naturally, was for the kobold in the surrounding hills and wilderness.
A dragon, even a juvenile dragon, is the easiest way to subdue a kobold, and it is even more efficient to add a kobold with an exemplary nature.
And this exemplary kobold is none other than Goss.
After receiving Gavin's new mission, Goss, who has always felt that his dog life has been a little dim recently, is suddenly in high spirits and feels that he has found the direction of his dog life.
His natural ability is indeed not good, his head is not smart enough, and the lord's pace of development is too fast, and he can't keep up.
But he is loyal and enthusiastic enough to help the lord to convince those uncivilized kobolds who have not yet felt the divine brilliance of the lord to devote themselves to the great cause of the construction of the dragon oak collar and into the arms of the lord.
At this point, he is familiar with the road and holds it in his hand.
With his innate ability and a sharp nose, Goss soon found the first litter of kobolds in the Stone Bridge Hills.
Goss said to the young red dragon with a flattering face: "Lord Roderick, please go to the entrance of the cave and roar, and then send a dragon's breath to the clearing, it is best to hit not far from the entrance of the cave, and do not sweep into the cave......"
"Long-winded!" The young red dragon roared impatiently, and swooped down directly, facing the group of kobold caves who were cowering in the cave and refused to come out to kneel to meet him, which was a flame dragon breath.
Although he didn't take Goss seriously, after all, it was the assistant that the man arranged for him, and what he did would reach his ears through this shameless dog's legs.
Therefore, I didn't dare to go too far, and the flame dragon breath was swept against the kobold's den.
Rao was like this, and a dog barked inside.
At this time, Goss let go of his hand and landed in a dashing manner, and then Shi Shiran walked not far from the cave and said loudly: "My left hand is friendship and food, and my right hand is sword and magic, which ...... are you going to choose?"
Before Goss could finish speaking, a roar came from the cave: "We choose the left hand Wang." β
Then no more than twenty kobolds poured out, all thin and short.
Goss, who was still a little dissatisfied, whispered in surprise: "How did you get mixed up like this? When was the last time you were full? β
"Full?" The kobold at the head looked at Goss in shock and said, "My lord, do you know what it's like to be full?" β
This invincible rhetorical question directly made Goss's brain freeze, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
I've seen a miserable kobold, but I've never seen such a miserable kobold.
Goss involuntarily said in the tone of a passer-by: "In the wilderness, there is food everywhere, as long as you are diligent, you will not go hungry in the summer, right?" β
"There are so many people during the day, and so many monsters at night, I don't dare to go far." The kobold leader replied.
"Then pack up and come with me, I promise you'll feel full in a minute." Goss said in a tone full of seduction.
Seeing that there was still a trace of hesitation on the faces of those kobolds, Goss said with a look of disdain: "You guys have all become miserable like this, what is there to do for us?" Even if you take it to eat, you don't have a few taels of meat on you, don't worry, this one outside is just a puppet, and we are following the allegiance to a greater, more merciful lord, who can not only feed you, but also give you greater strength, the power of the dragon. β
Goss didn't talk nonsense, and directly exerted his dragon vein ability on himself, his body grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, he became a huge kobold with a height of more than two meters.
Giant Magic.
A relatively chicken dragon vein ability, after all, kobolds are small creatures, and after becoming giant, they are only medium-sized, and it is better to shrink the technique, which can strengthen their own advantages.
But it is used to bluff these uninformed, poor clanging kobolds, which is really very useful.
All the kobolds couldn't help but breathe quickly and their eyes lit up.
It was the power of the dragon, the power of the kobold bloodline, they could feel it.
"We are willing to follow the adults." The kobolds said one after another.
Coerced Galilu, directly made these kobolds succumb, and followed Goss in a hurry.
"Let's go, take me to the nearest kobold den, we must bring more people to meet the lord." Goss waved his hand heavily, and said in high spirits.
The kobold who followed Goss's ass was still cowering at first, ready to turn around and run to his nest when he saw that his posture was not good.
But soon they discovered the benefits of a red dragon overhead, and the hunters who had used it as a snack fled with their tails between their legs.
Especially when their number snowballed and kept increasing, they couldn't help but raise their thin chests high.
Courage is not just a goblin characteristic, most races of small-sized monsters are like this, and kobolds are no exception.
By the time they arrived at their destination, the sky was already slightly dark, and more than a dozen hanging pots had already been erected in the open space of the abandoned stone factory, which was steaming hot.
Against these monster races, Gavin is still a tried and tested old trick, carrots and sticks.
Now that the heavy stick has been smashed, we have to give them a little sweetness to taste and eat a full meal, which is the biggest temptation for these hungry monsters.
When he saw Goss bring this group of kobolds, he was also taken aback.
Although it is not so thin and out of appearance, there are not many who have two taels of meat, and the number makes Gavin frown, and there are all kinds of them, barely more than a hundred.
This is the first day of harvest with the complete cooperation of a giant dragon, the more you go on, the less you harvest every day, it won't take ten days, you can all scavenge it, according to today's number of references, it is difficult to say whether it can be more than a thousand by then.
Before Gavin could speak, the kobold Goss pouted, knelt down in front of Gavin, and cried: "Please also ask the lord to punish, I have embarrassed the lord, I have been busy for a day, and I have only gathered enough litter of kobolds, if it is in the rocky land, I will casually find a mountain to howl, it is more than that......"
"Get out of here, who did you learn this from?" Gavin kicked him away and scolded with a smile, "You also know that it is in the rocky land, although the terrain here is somewhat similar to the rocky land, but the surrounding area is full of human territory, and it is expanding inward and wide, look at their appearance, you can know how narrow their living space is, it is not bad if it is not completely extinct, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, it can be collected a little is a little, and there can be thousands, which is enough for this mining farm." β
Goss got up from the ground with a grunt and promised loudly, "Yes, my lord, I will redouble my efforts tomorrow." β
"These kobolds will be handed over to you to reorganize, do you know how to do it?" Gavin asked rhetorically.
"Yes." Boss Goss replied, "First classify them professionally, divide them according to their abilities, and divide them into a gang team, a mining team, a guard team, and a gathering team. β
This is completely based on the division of labor on the side of the dragon oak collar, and it is still a template from the early stage.
Goss was involved in it to this extent, and no matter how professional it was, he couldn't participate in it, but it was just right for the current situation.
This is also the reason why Gavin transferred it, there is no need for too much professionalism here at the moment, it is pure waste, Goss is just the right half-ass.
"The gathering team and the guard team don't need it, they can be divided into a gang team and a mining team, and the security will be handed over to Roderick, and I will send someone to send the food directly." Gavin directly rejected two of the teams.
The efficiency of kobold collection, where there is a high efficiency of human planting.
Not to mention that there is a large granary golden field nearby, which is enough to support thousands of kobolds just by producing it in Anfil Village.
As for the guards, what can they do with their little arms and legs? It's not enough to stuff the monster's teeth.
"Understood, our mission is to mine the stone with all our might." Little clever Goss still has it.
"Before that, you first find out all the holes in this quarry, and leave only that one, and all of them will be blown up and sealed for me, and I want to see how long they can hide." Gavin sneered as he looked at the dark underground quarry cave deep in the abandoned quarry.
The quarry is not purely open-air, but half open-air and half deep into the mountain.
When Gavin arrived, he didn't see the monstrous monster that Gother's mother had called him.
But it's 100% certain that there are creatures living here.
Not just the peeping sensation from the inside of the cave, but also because of the animal remains and traces of life piled up in the quarry.
This trace of life is not that of a beast, but of an intelligent creature.
If it were an ordinary adventurer, it would be estimated that you would have started to count your bags, prepare your sword and magic, and go directly into the cave to see what was hidden inside.
But Gavin is no ordinary adventurer, and naturally does not follow the usual path.
Just let the kobold come to a door-sealing tactic.
He wanted to see how long they could hold out without food and water.
Of course, it is possible that these caves may go directly to the dark realms, which is not impossible, but it is very small.
It's not a cave, you can connect to the dark area, if you really connect to the dark area, the traces of those creatures on the ground will not be so frequent.
When Goss really gathered the kobolds in the Stonebridge Hills, Gavin soon discovered a new problemβit wasn't going well.
Not to mention that there is no way to compare with the carefully selected dragon blood kobolds, even compared to those ordinary kobolds with dragon oak collars, they are all a cut behind.
It's not just about their physique, it's about their professionalism.
Thousands of miles away, it is definitely not worth sending them back to the dragon oak collar for training.
If it was so easy, he wouldn't have the idea of recruiting on the spot.
It can only be used for improvisation first, anyway, it is used for quarrying, and it is not a technical job, and when the time comes, it will mainly rely on tremor bombs - of course, the kobold alchemist will have to transfer it from the territory.
After tossing for a long time, the situation here has become a little less embarrassing, far from Gavin's original expectations, and the rest depends on the Kepeng, whether the kobold it has gathered is unique, and whether it can bring a little surprise.
The kobold people in the stone bridge hills did not give their strength, but the stone peony horse inn, which had been silent for several nights, moved again.
Only this time, the Weeping Witch stopped crying, but turned into a silent phantom that could be seen by ordinary people, dressed in a black robe, with bare feet and long hair completely covering her face, floating around the inn like a ghost.
As soon as she saw her shadow, Anna ordered all the maintenance crews to evacuate and informed Gavin.
After seeing Gavin, a line of foggy words appeared above her head for the first time, "All the people who take you leave here, otherwise the next time we meet, I will have to kill you and kill all of you." β
The words are not only large, but also bold, showing the anger of the owner.
Gavin didn't answer the Weeping Witch's question directly, but walked around the inn inside and out, watching the restoration progress.
This anger of the other party only shows one problem - they are close to the goal.
Sure enough.
The rubble on the first floor had been cleared to reveal the staircase leading below, but it had also been blown up and blocked the way by a few large rocks.
The female apparition followed Gavin's side, and when he reached the entrance of the basement, the misty phantom fluctuated uncontrollably, although it was very slight, but it could not hide Gavin's perception.
Clearly, her secret lies below.
Gavin sensed it, there were not many layers of rubble that had not been cleared, and he couldn't stop himself at all, and a fairy step could flash in.
But he didn't do that, since any basement or dungeon would inevitably involve traps or something.
Rushing in, he was afraid of being hit on the head.
Anyway, success is imminent, not a day and a half.
Gavin focused his energy on the Phantom of the Mist, grinding hard with her to get more useful information out of her.
Unfortunately, after discovering that there was no way to scare Gavin away, the Misty Phantom refused to communicate.
But she was only an apparition, unable to inflict substantial damage on Gavin except for visual intimidation, and vanished when the sun rose.
It's very similar to ghosts, so it's no wonder that people mistake them for ghosts.
As soon as the foggy phantom disappeared, Gavin recruited all the construction personnel, and with full construction, it only took two hours to clear the entrance to the basement.
The exploration process was also exceptionally smooth.
It was precisely because of the success that Gavin frowned, as if this was just an ordinary hotel basement, without any traps, and completely used as a utility room and storage room, full of all kinds of messy sundries and vegetables and grains.
Except for a small amount of shelf-stable grain that is still well preserved, vegetables and the like have long since completely decayed, leaving only dry rot such as mud stains.
Most of the miscellaneous items are damaged tables, chairs, beds and other furniture, and since it is underground, the fire did not reach here, and most of them can still be used when the time comes.
"Clear here." With a wave of her hand, Anna was ready to let the kobolds move all the debris out.
"Wait, I'll clean it up, you move." Gavin was going to go through everything here himself.
He had the eyes of truth, and the magic disguise was invisible to him.
A broken chair.
A broken table, no hidden compartments, no suspected books and sundries.
A broken bed, no dark compartment.
A broken locker with a hidden compartment and several copper plates of silver coins.
A broken bed, with a dark compartment, and an inferior silver necklace.
β¦β¦
Gavin inspected it very carefully, even the dilapidated furniture, many of which were directly demolished and chopped into wood, and he also had to make sure that there was no hidden compartment or anything like that, and there was no place to hide things.
Compared to the small amount of money saved by repairing and reusing, what he has to do is more important.
But unfortunately, they are just a bunch of scrap furniture from the former hotel, and what comes out is a bunch of small things, not even magical aura, all ordinary items, and not even a hundred gold.
The so-called treasure of the former innkeeper was also not seen.
