The Spectre Cloak is also not, although it transforms people into a ghost state, it is not a real spirit, its invisibility is a shadow invisibility, and it cannot allow it to enter the etheric plane.

Counting around on his fingers, Gavin couldn't find a way into the cabin.

Going around and around, you have to find a breakthrough in the Weeping Witch in the end.

This matter is beyond Gavin's control, and the only thing he can do is to wait for the Weeping Witch to appear herself.

When night falls and the moon appears.

The fog that enveloped the hut grew thicker, and a phantasmagion slowly floated out of the hut.

More precisely, it is the fog that shrouds the hut that begins to pull away and converge, forming an apparition of the Weeping Witch.

Seeing this scene, Gavin couldn't help but smile a little.

I guessed correctly, this hut is the anchor point of the Weeping Witch, the medium point for her to enter the material plane, once the hut is destroyed, she is estimated to be unable to enter the material plane, completely lost in the etheric plane.

The Aetheric Plane has another name - the Lost Lands.

This proves in disguise that I have found the right place.

"I'm going to kill you!"

The Weeping Witch, who once again appears as a silent phantom, discovers that her secret magic hut has been pulled out, and immediately falls into a rage.

With five big characters on his head, he rushed towards Gavin.

Gavin had been prepared for this, and just stood in place, not dodging or dodging, and let the silent phantom pass through him.

A chill emanated from the inside out.

This cold is different from the biting cold of negative energy, it is more of a clammy cold.

That's all, the other party is just a phantom made of aetheric mist, and it can't do substantial damage to Gavin at all.

Gavin neither tried to resist nor defend himself, but allowed her to scratch and scratch.

The other party is now in a state of rage, and it is useless to try to say anything by himself.

But the Silent Phantom's self-control was far beyond Gavin's imagination, and did not last until his strength was exhausted.

After only a few seconds of venting, he returned to Gavin, and a small line of misty words appeared above his head: "What do you want?" ”

"I want to have a calm conversation with you and take what you need." Gavin didn't start expressing his appeal, but in the past few days he has seriously reflected on his approach to the Weeping Witch and found that there is a big problem with it.

Because he initially targeted the Nessera Spellbook, the Weeping Witch was a source of information, an obstacle.

If you only think about what you need, and don't think about what the other person needs, the communication will naturally end in failure.

The Weeping Witch's appeal was simple, and that was to get Gavin and the others to leave completely, and give up their quest for this place.

But the fundamental reason behind it is the fear of exposing his biggest secret and making himself threatened.

"Tell me, how do you take what you need?" After her biggest secret is revealed, the Weeping Witch has to take a fresh look at the young man.

The other party obviously came prepared, knew exactly what he wanted, and the energy was not comparable to ordinary people.

In just a few days, he dug out his hidden secrets.

His own incarnation in the material plane must have the ability to crush him to death, but the problem is that according to the progress of the other party, he will not be able to wait for that time for the other party to find a way to break through the hut.

"As I said before, driving us away is a palliative solution, so why don't we put aside our prejudices and find ways to coexist?" Gavin said eloquently, "Madame drove us away from this place as your anchor in the material realm, and if it is destroyed, you will be lost in the fog.

But even if we leave, there is no way for you to stop others from entering, after all, the power of the lady in the material plane is limited, and with scary means alone, it can only deal with those ordinary people, slightly stronger professionals, it has no effect, but will attract unnecessary attention.

I am willing to keep this secret for the lady and protect your anchor from any damage. ”

"What do you want?" The Phantom of Silence repeated the original words.

"Spiritist." Gavin spat out his ultimate goal, "I'm going to advance to the arcane spirit master's method." ”

He had always served this purpose, and it made no difference whether he got it from the Nesshrel Magic Book or from the Weeping Witch.

Gavin visibly felt the Silent Phantom fluctuate for a moment, and seemed to relax a lot, and there was a kind of mood swing that you had already mentioned.

Due to the recent frequent contemplation of heart wine, Gavin is particularly sensitive to the mood swings of others, and the Silent Phantom is now a spirit and is naturally more easily perceived.

"I can teach you how to become an arcane master, but you have to reseal this place." As the misty characters appeared above the Silent Phantom's head, the other party's hand pointed to the open underground passage.

This situation made her very insecure.

"No problem, it'll be closed tomorrow." Gavin readily agreed.

Anyway, he didn't have a way to enter the hut for a while, the other party obviously covered his ears and stole the bell, and the hut couldn't run, if he could open it for the first time, it would not be difficult to open it the second time.

"Three days later, here and now." The illusion of silence flashed the last line of small words and vanished again.

Having the right time was a good thing for Gavin, so he didn't have to be crucified here and could go about other things.

In the next three days, except for the thunderous enlightenment trees, the rest of the time is to soak in the abandoned quarry.

Just like Gavin calculated, the further back he went, the fewer kobolds he could collect every day, the total number of people reached five hundred, and there were only a few dozen kobolds left every day, and the labor was not proportional to the effort, so Gavin stopped the matter and concentrated on rebuilding the quarry.

As for the miserable appearance of these kobolds in Shiqiao Hills now, they make a little movement here, and the quality of life of these kobolds will come up, and those wild kobolds will come to the door by themselves.

Goss brought a strange-looking humanoid creature to Gavin, and said to Gavin flatteringly: "Lord Lord, you have forced out the monster here with a clever plan and a little trick, and he is the leader of the deformed people here, Dakar." ”

Turning his head to the deformed man, he said arrogantly: "Now standing in front of you is Lord Gavin, the king of ten thousand dragons and the holy guardian of the dragon oak collar, if you have any demands, just tell the lord." ”

Goss used his own practical actions to explain what it means to be two people.

In front of Gavin, he was just a little dog leg who nodded his head.

In front of these outsiders, he is an incomparably noble envoy of the lord.

Gavin's gaze couldn't help but fall on the deformed man, and his gaze was inquiring.

This man owns the upper body of a man, but he has the lower body of a horse.

At first glance, he looks like a centaur, but upon closer inspection, he lacks the coordination of a real centaur.

The lower body of the war horse is extremely strong, but the upper body of the person is the image of an old man.

Where the two meet, there is a shocking suture scar.

This is a piece of half of the bodies of two completely different creatures.

But the strange thing is that not only did the other party not die, but was able to walk like a centaur.

The mystery should be on the strange negative energy that fills his body, the deformed person in front of him is not a real creature, but a half-human and half-undead, the upper body of his human being is alive, and the lower body of the horse is a dead thing full of the power of death, more like a unique death machine.

The forces of life and death strike a strange balance in the creature in front of them.

The deformed man named Dakar was humble and almost humble in front of Gavin, "Dakar has seen the lord, I am here on behalf of the deformed people in the mines, I hope that the lord will let us live, as long as the lord lets go of the way, we are willing to move out of this place and never return, in return, we are willing to give all our property to the lord." ”

Even the goblins and kobolds, who are not too intelligent, will make compromises when faced with disadvantages, not to mention other intelligent creatures, and many things are tried to be resolved through negotiation, and only when forced to do so, they will resort to force.

These deformed people are no exception, the young red dragon hovering above the mine is a terrifying existence that they can't resist, let alone Gavin who can drive it, and exchanging money for the other party's favor is the best choice.

"Tell me your story." Gavin didn't say anything directly, but asked curiously.

Dakar's face swelled with unconcealed grief and indignation: "We are just a group of poor people who are forced to be helpless, that bastard of Del Rhodes, who has done something to us that is indignant and has turned us into ghosts, but fortunately he walked into the underground portal and never came out, and we took the opportunity to escape from his underground laboratory."

But our strange appearance has made it impossible for us to return to the human race, and I have been quarrying stones here, and I have fled here knowing that there is a place to live, and we have nothing more to ask for than to live. ”

"Portals? You mean there's a portal underneath that villa? It dawned on Gavin that if that was the case, it was no wonder that Gother's mother had dared to buy the building.

After all, the portal is a dead thing, as long as you don't actively walk in, there will be no danger.

Even if you are afraid of danger coming to an unknown place, it is much easier to limit a portal than to build one.

If the exploration is successful, the value of a portal is immeasurable.

"Yes." Dakar affirmed, "It's just that the portal doesn't appear often, and every time it appears in the form of mist." ”

For information that does not concern them, deformed people are naturally not stingy.

"It's just a matter of one sentence to let you go, but where are you going to go after you leave here?" Gavin asked.

"I don't know, we can only take one step at a time," Dakar's expression was dazed and sad, "ordinary people can't accept our terrifying appearance at all, and when they appear in front of them, they will only treat us as monsters, and we can only continue to go deep into the mountains to find a new place to stay." ”

"Why don't I give you a choice and accept my employment to work for me." Gavin pointed to the abandoned quarry, "I'm going to rebuild this quarry, it's all kobolds, they won't discriminate against you, and you help them deal with things they don't do well, as long as you sincerely help me, I will ensure that you don't have to worry about food and clothing, no more displacement, no more danger to your life." ”

Gavin never thought of himself as a good person, but if it was easy, he didn't mind helping the vulnerable and leaving them a way to live.

"Your Excellency is willing to hire us?" The Dakar was not euphoric, but wary.

They have been brutally hurt by others, and they are very wary of people, especially the nobles.

"This is my personal proposal, how to choose in you, you should also see how I treat kobolds these days, I still have mercy on kobolds, I will harm you for no reason to such a group of poor people?"

Gavin said with a flat expression, "If I really want to hurt you, I don't need to be so troublesome, I just need to seal all the holes in the cave where you are hiding."

You're all mixed up like this, what else is there to do for me besides a little bit of labor? ”

Dakar couldn't help but fall silent, thinking seriously about the other party's words.

I couldn't help but think back to what they had seen and heard in the past few days, although they couldn't get close to observe, but judging from the fragrance wafting in the air and the reactions of those kobolds, it was not difficult to see that their food was quite good.

Although the working time of those kobolds is not short, it is far from an unacceptable level, and occasionally you can hear the shouting and scolding of the kobold who brought them, and rarely hear the whip and the like.

The red dragon was not as ferocious as the legend, most of it was high up and did not eat kobolds at will.

As the other party said, they are all miserable like this, what else is worth plotting?

Dakar bowed and said, "Thank you Lord Lord for your kindness, but after all, this involves the life and death of other people, and I can't make a rash decision, please allow me to go back and discuss it with others." ”

"Go ahead." Gavin waved his hand.

When he came to Anfil Village this time, Gavin's biggest feeling was that he really felt his own growth.

Maybe the enemies I have faced recently belong to the kind of extraordinary, even if they win in the end, they use extraordinary means in many places, and they all lose the whole line.

But on the human side, many things that are taken for granted are extraordinary and need to be looked up to.

The power of this part, in front of these deformed people, has reached an extreme, and their life and death are only between his thoughts.

It's a very unique feeling that makes people indulge in it without even realizing it, and it's no wonder that so many people are addicted to power.

Gavin felt like he liked it a little bit as well.

These deformed people made decisions much faster than Gavin had expected.

Within half an hour of Dakar's return, a group of strangely and distorted-looking deformed people came out of the cave trembling and crawled in front of Gavin like lambs to the slaughter.

It was still the man-made centaur from before, and said respectfully: "We are willing to accept the employment of the lord, we do not ask for wages, we only hope to have a place to stay, and we will definitely do our best to serve the lord." ”

There were twenty-three deformed people, and none of them were half the same.

There are those who have an extra arm on their chest, those who have tentacles on the top of their heads, and those who have an extra eye behind their heads.

Even if Gavin was mentally prepared, he would feel uncomfortable to some extent, not to mention, if he was unprepared and bumped into this kind of nightmare in the wilderness, ordinary people would definitely be scared half to death.

Their body modifications are in the same condition as those of the artificial centaur Madakar, and the extra part is in the nature of a death prosthesis.

It's not just a decoration, but most of them have a unique role.

For example, the artificial centaur, he has two power attributes, the upper body and the lower body, which belongs to the lower body strength of the horse, which not only far exceeds his upper body, but also exceeds most war horses, which makes him have extraordinary dragging ability, but the carrying ability of the upper body is no different from ordinary people.

The deformed man with an extra eye on the back of his head has a bit of the nature of a real eye, and can see a lot of things that normal eyes can't see.

The one with a head full of shots has a certain amount of psychic ability.

The mad necromancer named Delloz obviously wanted to use this unique method to imitate the advantages or special abilities of other species in humans, and achieved initial success, if you ignore the deformities it brings.

This was a small surprise for Gavin.

Chickens and dogs can sometimes come in handy.

Freaks are also a unique resource, and they may be able to use their extraordinary abilities at any time, so he asked Dakar to compile a detailed list of abilities for him.

Then he explained to Goss that he would treat these deformed people the way he would treat normal people.

For them do not require special care.

Their unique situation determines that as long as they are treated as normal people, they will follow them with all their hearts.

After the last unstable factors of the kobold quarry were settled, the place was fully operational, and a large amount of fine blue-gray stone was mined.

The stones were not immediately put on the market, but were produced for their own use, and all of them were smashed on the six-and-a-half-kilometer wilderness trail from the quarry to the long road.

Sharpen the knife and do not mistake the woodcutter.

These six and a half kilometers of road belong to sharpening knives.

Only when it is paved flat enough and easy to walk can the stone here be transported more conveniently - this is a real heavy cargo.

Most of Gavin's Enlightenment Trees will be transferred to the quarry after the maintenance work of the Stone Peony Horse Inn, and they will be used as crane loaders.

As for the transportation, it is handed over to ordinary horse-drawn heavy trucks, and there is no shortage of pastures and horses, which can be completely compensated by numbers, especially when there are good roads, and the carrying capacity is quite amazing.

It takes time to see results.

This is the characteristic of large-scale infrastructure, and Gavin has long been accustomed to it.
