Chapter 481: You can't see it
"My lord, the size of the space is wrong." A kobold named Quint approached Gavin's side and said.
He is the leader of this kobold construction team, a fifth-level kobold warlock, not only has the ability to perfect repair spells, but also is an excellent cave excavation and builder.
"Search, search next to door, search for me wall by wall, seam by seam for me, don't let go of any suspicious places." Gavin waved his hand.
The kobold said that there was a problem with the size of the space, and that must be a hidden secret room.
Their perception of space is very different from that of humans, and they do not need to measure it, they only need the naked eye to be able to distinguish whether there is a difference between the layout of the two layers of structure, just like a bird can distinguish between small gaps and whether it is suitable for flying through them.
In this regard, these kobolds are professional, and directly from their kobolds' special kits, they take out a small sharp hammer, strike it from time to time, and crawl on it.
These kobolds can use their ears to hear how thick the wall is, whether there are other caves behind it, how large the space is, and so on.
Although this is also an innate ability, it is more specialized, and if you want to be useful, you need to go through special training and rich experience.
The kobolds in front of them were undoubtedly experts in this area, and within a few minutes, there was a squeak, and a secret door was opened.
Without waiting for those kobolds to say hello, Gavin immediately jumped over, "This is ......"
The main thing is a rectangular standard room, except that there are rusty shackles and ropes on the walls, and there is an iron chair fixed in place at the very bottom, with dusty leather ropes on it, and all kinds of tools that you can know at a glance are not normal products, and there are shelves.
"This is a torture room, why is there such a secret room under a hotel?" Anna, who was following behind Gavin, asked with a look of surprise on her face.
Before Gavin could answer, there was another creak not far away, and a new secret door opened, and two shriveled corpses, one large and one small, poured out.
Anna trotted up, skillfully examined the two corpses, and said in an affirmative tone: "The two deceased are women, the eldest is about thirty years old, and the younger is fourteen or fifteen years old, both starved to death, and the time of death is about three years, it should be after the laughter robber tavern was abandoned, sir, you say, are they weeping witches?" Before they died, the sound of their weeping and wailing made the villagers mistakenly think that they were haunted, or did they directly transform into angry spirits? β
"It's not them." Gavin shook his head and said, "The Weeping Witch appeared before they died, and you saw the apparition with your own eyes last night, can you feel any death in her?" Or negative energy? It seems that the former owner of the Laughing Robber's Hotel is not as clean as the villagers of Anfil Village think, and he is still engaged in some robbery. β
"There's another one over here." Another kobold shouted.
Right next to this secret cell, another secret room was opened.
This room is the largest, the sum of the two secret rooms in the front, with a huge solid wood bed in the middle, covered with a curtain of fans, and the surrounding walls are covered with various tapestries and paintings.
Anna just glanced into the room, and like a frightened rabbit, she jumped out, and said with a crimson face: "How can it be...... How...... How could it be...... Yes...... Yes...... Someone has decorated such a shameless room, Mr. Gavin, this ...... This...... All these filthy things are ...... All...... They are all used by the devil to lead people to fall, and they should not exist in the human world, they should ...... Should...... It should all be burned. β
Due to shyness and nervousness, the old problem of stammering is not only committed, but it is much more serious than usual.
Those tapestries and oil paintings are all extremely explicit about the love between men and women, Gavin, who has been through a hundred battles, feels embarrassed, not to mention the young priest who has never experienced this battle, feels that the whole person is not clean, and is about to burn, because the pictures in the tapestries in the room are always tumbling in his mind.
Gavin said solemnly: "I don't share the sky with filth and evil, I wait outside, I go in to see if there is something more evil hidden inside?" I felt the magic ripples inside. β
"Sir, you ...... You...... Be careful yourself, there is ...... Yes...... If you have a problem, call us immediately. Anna hesitated outside the door for a long time, and was not embarrassed to follow up.
Gavin, with a critical spirit, began to examine these seductive tapestries and paintings.
I have to say that the aesthetic taste of the people who decorate this room is absolutely first-class, and all the decorations are not only erotic but also beautiful, and it is estimated that in the hands of some special libbers, they should be able to sell for a good price.
Gavin's gaze finally fell on an oil painting, this is a portrait of a lady, she is definitely the most conservative of the paintings in the whole room, at least the clothes are complete, but also the most seductive, because its painter perfectly interprets the hazy beauty, and completely stimulates people's desire to peep, eager to get into the painting, peek into the beauty behind the hazy tulle mist.
The longer you stare at the portrait, the stronger this voyeuristic desire becomes.
It's not just your own emotions, but also magic.
It is a magical oil painting with the power to provoke the dark desires of the heart.
It wasn't until Gavin rolled it up quickly that this sense of charm completely subsided, and he didn't want to think about it, so he threw it directly into the portable dimensional cave, not only it, but also other tapestries and oil paintings, all of which he took in.
He is by no means appropriating them for himself, but is prepared to conduct in-depth research and criticism of them in the future with a critical attitude.
Then he launched a carpet search of the entire room, and he didn't let go of it, and he found a lot of various sex utensils, but his real target was nowhere to be found.
"Treasure, treasure, lord, treasure has been discovered." Outside, there was the excited chirping of kobolds.
Kobolds are also very sensitive to wealth and are also full of greed.
It's just that this greed of theirs is very interesting, and it is not to take it for themselves, but to give it to their masters, especially the masters of the dragons, in exchange for their praise, which is the best reward.
Gavin naturally knew their virtues, and praised them without hesitation: "You have done a very good job, and when you return to the territory, I will apply for a bottle of dragon soul enhancement potion for you." β
The Dragon Soul Enhancement Elixir is a new kobold enhancement potion recently developed by the Dragon Oak Collar.
As the name suggests, this enhancement potion uses the dragon soul.
On the body, turning on the dragonization is already the limit of the kobold's bloodline strengthening, even if it is a dragon's blood potion configured with a more powerful dragon, it only increases the success rate of the kobold in opening the dragon, and reduces the required career level, and the dragon's blood used in the dragon's blood potion increases by one age, and the kobold's career level requirements will be reduced by one level.
For example, the dragon blood potion configured with the dragon blood of the young copper dragon Evantha requires at least eight class levels to have a chance to activate dragonization, while the young red dragon Roderick's only needs seven, and the young red dragon's only needs five.
After the dragon is turned on, if you want to go further in this ability, you must also start to dragonize your soul and get closer to the dragon.
This can be obtained slowly by serving the dragon in close proximity and being affected by its attunement.
You can also take a shortcut - directly take the Dragon Soul Enhancement Elixir containing the Dragon Soul Fragment.
There is only one way to refine this elixir - dragon slaying.
The amount of refining is also related to the maximum health that the dragon has, basically, it can only achieve one health per bottle.
A young red dragon has refined a total of more than 200 bottles, which sounds like a lot, but in the dragon oak collar with 70,000 or 80,000 kobolds, it is not enough at all.
And this thing,There is no upper limit for taking this,The more you take, the better,The effect is simple and clear,Not only can you make yourself more and more like a dragon,At the same time, it can also directly increase the number of daily uses of spell-like abilities,After taking multiple bottles,Is there any other effect,It still needs to be further studied,It is now the highest merit exchangeγ
At present, only a dozen bottles have been exchanged, and they are divided among different kobolds.
"Thank you, Lord." These kobolds thanked them repeatedly, for them, the value of a bottle of dragon soul enhancement potion was far higher than that of these treasures.
"Don't thank me, this is your well-deserved reward." Gavin smiled back and took stock of the former innkeeper's treasure.
In the end, he was disappointed, this is a pile of worldly treasures, roughly estimated, no less than 50,000 gold coins, for ordinary families, it is indeed a lot of property.
But for Gavin, it's obviously a bit under-sighted.
Compared to the actions he made here, only harvesting this treasure is equivalent to losing even his pants.
It was the last secret room they had ever discovered, and Gavin and the kobolds had been scouring it back and forth three or four times, with no new discoveries.
Gavin didn't give up, but fell into deep thought, there must be something they ignored in this matter, after all, the Weeping Witch, he had already been in direct contact, and her existence was the biggest suspicion.
Having said that, if it was really so easy to find, it would have been found by the previous innkeeper long ago if he couldn't wait for him to arrive.
Anna muttered, "Could it be that the room isn't hidden in the physical plane at all?" But in the shadow plane or in the spirit realm? It's hard to get something out of what we're looking for. β
"No way, I have real eyes." Gavin shook his head and vetoed, "If there really is a room like this, I should be able to see it directly." β
"The Eye of Truth is not omnipotent, it can only see through the unreal, but it cannot see through the real thing, what if it is covered with the real thing?" Anna retorted without thinking.
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that? Gavin rolled over and hugged Anna, and took a heavy bite on her round face, "You're really my lucky star, you all come over and help me move this big bed." β
Anna was a little stunned by the sneak attack, and stayed in place for a long time without reacting.
Everything in the basement had been completely cleaned out by Gavin and the others, except for the solid wood bed in the sex room, which was too large and bulky, and took up half of the room, which was assembled directly there.
Coupled with Gavin's previous attention, he was drawn to the unique portraits and ignored the fact - or rather, their purpose was to divert attention.
Gavin directly used the power of the bionic bull, the giant magic, and overclocking on his body, plus the external bonus on the dragon's tooth glove, directly piling up his power to 25 points, and those kobolds also activated the giant magic.
With concerted efforts, the huge wooden bed was dragged away with a gurgling effort.
"Gwent." Gavin greeted the kobold in the lead.
The kobold immediately gave up dragging and jumped into it with agility, picked up his little spike, and struck it little by little on the ground.
The kobold nodded at Gavin and said, "Hollow, there is a secret passage below, not a secret door, it was sealed by someone with stone plasticity, at least one meter and five thick." β
"That's easy to do." Gavin took out ten dragon tremor bombs directly from the portable dimensional cave and handed them to him, "Directional blasting, blast it for me." β
"I didn't ...... Not...... There's no need, I haven't started using the spell slot for today, hand it over...... ...... Leave it to me. Anna was attracted by the commotion here, her round face, like a ripe apple, red fluttering, seeing that Gavin was anxious to use violent means, she hurriedly spoke.
"You see I'm so anxious that I forgot about this stubble, okay, you try first, can you open a door, it's really not okay to blast it again." Gavin couldn't help but pat his forehead, and under the turn of the peak, he was a little at a loss, after all, this was related to his own path to advancement.
"Okay." Anna flipped over the big bed and walked to the kobold warlock's side, trying to calm down and concentrate on casting spells, but her mind always involuntarily deserted, thinking about the bite Gavin just now, especially the special room they were in now, and the picture of the previous oil painting, she also involuntarily began to run out.
Wandering around, wandering around, the heroes and heroines in it are no longer what they saw before, but have become themselves and Mr. Gavin.
This made her whole body burn, and she tried several times, but she didn't succeed.
"What? Questions? Gavin asked with concern, completely unaware that everything was caused by his own excitement.
"I didn't ...... Not...... No. Anna quickly recited a spell, not for stone shaping, but for minor injuries.
At the beginning, in order to heal her spell casting defects, she was tempered by a thousand times, as if engraved in her bones, the more tense she was, the smoother she was, and then directly applied it to herself, and the feeling of countless ants crawling instantly permeated her body, which lasted for several seconds before completely dissipating.
Her healing magic was used on herself, and although there were no terrible side effects, it was not too comfortable.
This discomfort helped a lot, completely diverting her attention and taking the opportunity to prepare for the stone shaping technique.
As it began to harmonize with the boulder underground, the slab seemed to come to life, and began to grow upwards and sides.
The slab was thick enough that Anna had used four stone sculpting techniques to barely open a passage that she could only get into, a dark passage that slanted downward, the kind that could be seen at a glance, and the end was empty, and there was nothing.
At least in the eyes of ordinary people, this is true.
But in Gavin's eyes, who opened the eyes of truth, the end of the tunnel was shrouded in a mist, and in the middle of the mist, a small cabin loomed there, even through the fog, Gavin seemed to be able to feel the strangeness of the cabin, and the powerful magic fluctuations emanating from it.
Got it.
That's what you're looking for.
With just one glance, he was 100% sure.
But it's one thing to be able to see, it's another thing to want to get in.
That cabin is impressively on the Aetheric Plane.
You can see it, but you can't touch it.
Even Gavin didn't have a lot to think of for a while.
Transforming himself into an illusion spirit that can enter the spirit body of the etheric plane belongs to the Seven Rings spell, and no one under his command can use it, and it is also a personal spell that can only be cast on himself.
Being able to bring other people into the Aether Plane with them belongs to the Nine Rings Spell, not to mention that Gavin doesn't know a spellcaster of this level, even if he does, he doesn't dare to bring them here to help him do this, who knows if the other party will turn his head and destroy himself, and then take the treasure inside for himself, after all, it is a magic book inherited from Netheril, and the temptation is big enough.
The three-ring flashing technique, because of the characteristics of flashing back and forth between the etheric plane and the material plane, also allows people to have the ability to enter the etheric plane, but the duration is too short, the principle of the flashing technique is that if you stay in the etheric plane for one round (six seconds), you will return to the material plane for a round, and then jump to the ether plane, and so on.
Once this spell is cast, it will jump back and forth uncontrollably.
And the layout of this layout, tricky and tricky, is in the material plane of the overlapping area with the aetheric plane where the cabin is located, is a huge rock.
Even if you use the flash technique to advance a certain distance in the six seconds of the etheric plane, and when you flash, you will be faced with a boulder after returning to the material plane.
Although it will not directly set you in the boulder, it will be forcibly excluded, and every meter and a half of the outward row will deal 1D6 damage.
On top of that, you're doing useless work on the Aether plane, and when you re-enter, you'll be in the original position, and the cabin is at least twenty meters inside the boulder.
As for the method of digging directly on the boulder and leading to the vicinity of the cabin, it is also not feasible.
The cabin is in its current location, it must be because there is a plane anchor point on the boulder, once this anchor point is accidentally destroyed, the cabin may directly disappear into the etheric plane, disappear without a trace, and trying to find it again, without clear guidance, is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
