Chapter 488: Aftertaste
But this is exactly what Gavin lacks, especially since he has practical experience in the past, and under the guidance of a teacher of extraordinary learning, he can integrate it so quickly that even Philancini is somewhat surprised.
Philancinie had received a lot of information from Gavin, and she was concerned about a lot of things, but Gavin could sense that she was particularly concerned about the movements of the red-robed mages.
Gavin is so shrewd, he can guess a lot of things based on this alone, and the spellcaster who cast the curse on her is most likely a red-robed mage.
She was afraid that she would be frightened by the vicious reputation of the red-robed mage, so she avoided talking about it.
Ordinary people are really easy to be frightened by the name of red-robed mage, after all, they are the largest mage organization in Faerun, sitting on a mage empire, Ser, with a famous murderous reputation.
It's just that Gavin is not an ordinary person, not only will he provoke this group of red-robed bald heads, but it won't be too long, and this winter, the two sides may have an indirect conflict.
Gavin will have a high probability of being a fox and a fake tiger at that time.
But it didn't prevent him, he took this opportunity to collect some more information about the red-robed mage, which could be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
As long as they stand on the same side, the relationship between the two sides will go further.
Looking at Philansini's increasingly blurred figure, Gavin knew that it was already dark outside the hotel, and her time was coming, and if she wanted to see her again, she would have to wait until next month.
Gavin got up, bowed solemnly to Philancini and said, "Madam, please allow me to call you a teacher, I have learned a lot from you in the past five days, and it is you who have truly introduced me to the path of the Arcane Spirit, and I will inevitably learn more knowledge from you in the future." ”
Philancini snorted and said: "You respect me as a teacher, and I can afford it, but this matter, only God knows, you know me, when you go out, never mention my name to anyone, many of my enemies outside are something you can't afford to provoke." ”
"After a few days of contact, does the teacher think I'm the kind of person who likes to show off? Making a lot of money in a muffled voice is the king, and I will never give myself anything, let alone cause trouble for the teacher. Gavin showed a smile that I would do with you, "These things, teacher, you can take them, if you are bored, you can use them to pass the time." ”
"The horror phantom you played to me when we first met?" Philancini recognized the origin of the pile of spirit crystal balls at a glance.
"The teacher still remembers this." Gavin smiled awkwardly, "At that time, I didn't know about the teacher's situation, and I was a little reckless. ”
Philancini glanced at Gavin angrily and said, "It's hard to forget, you can figure it out, play a terrifying phantom to the ghost, are you going to kill the ghost?" Or let her learn scary new skills? ”
"Haha......" Gavin laughed awkwardly, "These are not horror phantoms, but phantoms with a plot, one of which is also about my territory, the pioneer of the uncut version, sound and light effects, plot and story, if you feel lonely, it is most appropriate to use it to relieve emotions." ”
Solitude with entertainment and without are two very different concepts.
This is vividly demonstrated in the modern people of the earth.
As long as they are given a mobile phone with Internet access, or a computer with a network cable, they can stay at home until they are old, if the network is cut off, all kinds of games are uninstalled, and it will not take three days to go crazy.
"Oh?" Philansine said with great interest, "When did Feren have such an interesting thing?" ”
Gavin said lightly: "This kind of thing, we pioneered, and it is still in a small-scale trial production, and what the teacher has in his hands belongs to the internal version, and the official version of the deletion will take two months before it can be released on a large scale." ”
"Then you're welcome." Philansieni took the pouch containing the spirit crystal ball directly.
"There are also these five glasses, which I made with the pleasant atmosphere of these five days, called Aftertaste, if you feel depressed, you can drink a glass, it will take you to taste the joy of the day again, change your mood." Gavin pulled out another wine box, the bottom was wooden, and the lid was made of clear crystal glass.
There are five large cocktails inside, each in different colors, but the smell is the same, with a faint sense of joy, just looking at them makes you feel better.
This is a new product that has newly acquired a special ability to meet friends with alcohol.
Any special ability, its own description, is only the most basic thing, not the whole thing, if you want to fully exert its ability, you have to dig more hard yourself.
The same is true for drinking friends, which can only be used once per person, referring to the tricky ability that directly increases favorability, and the state of being trapped in an emotional illusion, rather than referring to the fact that the ability cannot be used again against the same person.
Just like its name, meeting friends with wine is not a one-sided thing, and your feelings are also mixed in it, and you can convey your sincere feelings through wine.
He is grateful from the bottom of his heart, after all, the other party's help to him, that is real, although the new strong ability, most of which is his own accumulation, but without the other party's point and detonation, it is estimated that he will have to wait for a while - and he has ghost wine and self-hypnosis, which can control, catalyze, and amplify his emotions to a certain extent.
It is really suitable to use it to meet friends with wine, and a point of gratitude will also become three points, not that it cannot be turned into ten points, that is too fake, three points is not too much and no less, just right.
The afterglow cocktail is made by Gavin every day after sending Philancini away, using his ability, one drink a day, no more, no less.
Philansienne took the wine box, obviously not heavy, but felt heavier than a thousand gold, sighed and said: "You are thinking about me everywhere, but I have not been able to do anything for you." ”
"Teacher, don't say that, these little things are nothing compared to the knowledge you have imparted to me." Gavin has basically understood Philancie's character in the past few days.
She is purer than most of the legendary professionals he knows, a bit biased towards the kind of theoretical research scholars, there is a lot of theoretical knowledge in her head, but most of it has not been put into practice, a person who has not been driven crazy by loneliness and kills at will, is absolutely kind in nature, such a person remembers the most, you treat her well, she will often give back with ten points, you are wholeheartedly to her, she will often respond wholeheartedly.
"Then I'll take it." Philansine just gave Gavin a deep look and didn't say anything more.
Gavin said to her fading figure: "Teacher, you just need to remember that from now on, although your person is lonely, but your heart is no longer, I am here waiting for you to come back." ”
Before he could finish his words, Philancine's figure disappeared completely, and whether she heard those words or not, it was not known, and it was even less clear what kind of reaction she would have.
Gavin won't think much about it, he has already done everything he can do anyway, and the rest of the things will be left to time to ferment - when he is lonely and isolated again, but his own shadow is everywhere, it is difficult not to think deeply.
After one last glance at the basement where he had stopped for five days, Gavin closed the stone door and hid it again, originally wanting to cast a ban spell on it, but then he thought about it, isn't this the place where there are three hundred taels of silver?
Where no one pays attention, it is easy to attract unnecessary attention.
He pushed the door open again and walked back, took out five standard boxes of gold coins, and stuffed them under the plush bed.
Only then did he completely close the door and leave.
With these 50,000 gold coins, it is enough to divert the attention of most of the thieves and make them not toss around here.
The more powerful existence, either not eyeing here, once targeted, will neither be stopped by their own magic, nor will they be blinded by these gold coins, and then it will be up to Philanciini's own arrangement to withstand it.
This probability is very small, after all, before you settle in, this place has been idle for three years, and you will come early, and you will not wait until you occupy it.
Gavin just had to think about keeping his enemies from eyeing him.
As soon as he came up from the basement, Gavin was stopped by the horse farm owners in Anfil Village.
Master Ambala, the steward of the Rhoinhorn family, said with a smile: "Sir is really a busy man, it is really not easy to meet you, about the matter of the war horse, we are basically ready, but I heard that Mr. Gavin is a dragon slayer, and has a powerful shooting weapon, Miss Luna has the ability to fly super fast after transforming into a Pegasus......"
Gavin didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and asked directly: "You want me to help you get rid of Jipeng, you can quote!" ”
Since his main purpose in Anfil Village had been achieved, he had lost the interest he had at the beginning, and he was no longer interested in playing a game of bargaining with these horse farm owners, he just wanted to complete the deal faster and move forward with other things.
"Gavin is a cheerful man." Master Ambala smiled and said, "Then we don't hide it, after our joint discussion, Mr. Gavin said that the secret bidding is detrimental to the relationship between the owners of our Anfil Village Horse Farm, we are not doing a hammer deal, and Mr. has such a large amount of food, enough to eat all the goods of the entire Anfil Village, I think we should not engage in these fictitious things, but directly sign a long-term sale and purchase agreement with Mr. in the name of the Anfil Village Horse Farm Association." ”
The owners of these horse farms in Anfil Village also came from the battlefield-like shopping mall.
It's not so easy to be led by the nose, especially after the initial excitement.
With the help of the principals of the two largest horse farms, they decided to unite and work with Gavin as a community, ready to make money and share the risks together.
Gavin nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, with an expression of me.
Master Ambala continued, "We are willing to sell our horses to the Lord at the market price of the Radiant City!" ”
Hearing this price, Gavin's brow jumped involuntarily.
This price is a bit outrageous, and it is purely to blame yourself.
Whether he came to buy it, or did he pick up the war horse by himself, and the city of radiance was the same price, what did he toss? Go directly to the Deepwater City Horse Market to be more ready-made, how much you want.
They won't see that they have made so much investment here, and want to join forces to trap themselves, right?
They are all old businessmen, and they shouldn't do such a stupid thing.
Thinking of this, Gavin didn't jump to his feet immediately, but looked at Master Ambala intently, waiting for him to do the following.
Master Ambala secretly praised in his heart, this young man is really not an ordinary person, at least this psychological quality is not comparable to ordinary people, and continued: "And we are willing to accept Mr. Gavin's ghost wine as a payment method at the current market price of the Radiant City, and the payment period can be delayed until your new batch of ghost wine is out of the kiln, and Mr. War Horse is still Mr. Pick it up, and the ghost wine will be picked up by us in your territory, I don't know what your intention is for this transaction?" ”
After listening to the whole transaction, Gavin knew exactly what these horse farm owners were up to.
This is a ghost wine that has seen him, has a huge room for appreciation, and wants to get involved.
If they simply compete with those wine merchants, they will definitely not have any advantage.
But you can book with a large number of war horses, and the current price is still used, and the war horses are also used at a relatively high price.
Once successful, the profits will be absolutely huge, and they will be able to eat both, both the war horse's part of the profits and the ghost wine premium.
"Do you know how much risk you're taking to do that?" Gavin asked rhetorically.
He thinks he's bold enough, but he seems too conservative compared to the horse farm owners in Anfil.
Even on the earth, the kind of society with a high safety factor and relatively sound credit, the goods before payment, involving millions of large transactions need to be treated with caution.
Not to mention, a world like Fallon, where crises are everywhere and trust between people is extremely lacking.
Even if it is face-to-face, spot trading, you must guard against one hand to prevent being pitted, not to mention what to say before the goods.
It's not that there is nothing at all, nine out of ten happens to old customers, people who have assets as collateral.
And not someone like Gavin, who came to trade for the first time.
And that's just a trust risk.
In addition to this, there is also the risk of depreciation of goods.
It's okay to say that ghost wine appreciates in value, but once the price drops on a large scale, the risk will be completely on them.
Of course, this is just a hypothesis.
Gavin still has deep confidence in ghost wine, and he can't guarantee a permanent monopoly on this magic wine.
But monopolizing for another year, monopolizing a large number of grapes next year, should be a sure thing.
After all, this involves a new magic process, and it takes time to explore imitation, especially this kind of agricultural and sideline products, and it also involves solar terms, and the research time is relatively limited.
When they figure it out, it will take a year or two to prepare the unique environment for mass production, the vineyards, and another year or two.
As for sales, Gavin is not worried.
Now that he has mastered the best use of ghost wine, even if a bottle can't be sold, he can find a way to digest it himself.
After all, compared to the entire huge market of Feron, the total output of ghost wine is still pitiful.
In this way, the owner of ghost wine is not as good as a group of horse dealers, and he fails to realize the huge appreciation space of his products.
"We know how much of a stakes there are, so we are not prepared to take it alone, but all the horse merchants in Anfil Village." Master Ambala smiled, "We also know how much of a benefit will be in it if we succeed, but given the risks, we have a few small strings attached. ”
"Tell me about it." Gavin was thoroughly intrigued by these war horse merchants, and he really wanted to see what strategy they had developed.
"First of all, the contract is not signed in the village of Anfil, but in the Vizeme estate in the Land of the Three Rivers, not that we don't trust Mr. Gavin, but we need to further confirm your identity and make sure that nothing goes wrong on this issue."
"It's simple, and everyone is always welcome at the Vizeme Estate." Gavin nodded in understanding, the more complete the details of the other party, the more he believed that the other party was prepared and sincere, rather than having other plans.
"Secondly, when the contract is signed, you need to take the Vizeme Manor as a mortgage, once the transaction is made, due to the problem on the husband's side, we have the right to dispose of the manor." Master Ambala took advantage of the situation and made a new offer.
"Mr. Ambala, you are really calculating, I was worried that you were too risky before, but now it seems that you have all transferred the risk to me, as long as you fight the horse, you will make a steady profit and not lose money, and at the worst of all, you can occupy my Vizeme Manor." Gavin felt that he was purely salty and carrot before, but they were businessmen, and they couldn't afford to take such a big risk, but they had already thought of a way to pass on the risk, and wanted to make a lot of money from it.
I guess they want their ghost wine to have a problem.
They can take advantage of the situation to settle in the Vizeme Manor, a golden egg, where is the chicken that can lay golden eggs more valuable?
In fact, what they are trying to do is the same as that of those businessmen in Sambia, but they are more clever in their means.
"Mr. Gavin laughed, this is just a means of insurance that we have in mind, and we still hope that this deal will be successfully concluded." Master Ambala smiled.
Gavin was noncommittal, and then asked, "Are there any other conditions?" Say it all together and I'll listen to it. ”
