I am a god in another world
Chapter 239: No business is without fraud
"Okay." Daniel nodded without hesitation.
Regina hesitated for a moment: "I can only try my best in this matter. After all, there are many places where I need food."
"If there is not enough food, it can be supplemented by population. In the future, I will need a large number of employees here, regardless of whether they are humans, halflings, dwarves, half-elves, or elves. As long as they are kind and willing to create wealth with their own hands, Miss Regina can introduce them to me." Gavin made a compromise and slightly adjusted his strategy. Anyway, he just wanted to dig deep into Regina's influence and connections.
Upon hearing Gavin's new conditions, Regina couldn't help but smile and said, "This is just what I wanted. I happen to know a refugee camp where all the refugees from Tethyr stay. If Mr. Gavin is willing to take them in, I will take the time to go there alone."
"The refugee camp in Tethyr." Gavin couldn't help but sit up straight, and said with a serious expression, "There is such a place in Battle Valley. If possible, please take me there when you are free, Miss Regina."
"Can I ask why?" Regina asked curiously.
"I have half Tethyr blood flowing in my body." Gavin said bluntly. Although he did not choose to stay in Tethyr to develop, it does not mean that he has no feelings for Tethyr at all.
"I see." Regina suddenly realized, "In that case, Mr. Gavin, you should go there, but I came to Vizeme Manor this time to change my schedule temporarily, and I have already wasted a lot of time here. How about this, we set it for two ten-day periods, and then we will meet at the Good Luck Village in the Good Luck Fang Mountains, and then I will take you there, how about it?"
"Very suitable." Gavin nodded and said, "Vizeme Manor has been abandoned for so long, and it needs to be renovated and put back in place, especially if you want to accept a large number of refugees, two ten-day periods are just right."
"As for the Hammer of Justice, Mr. Gavin should also go there when he is free. We have also taken in many refugees from Tethyr. I believe they can find a better sense of belonging here." Daniel also spoke up beside him.
"You are familiar with the situation here and know many people. If possible, help me spread a message. I am willing to accept all refugees from Tethyr, regardless of their original family or city. As long as they are willing to abandon their previous hatred, we will create our new home here." Gavin said loudly.
Judging from the reactions of Regina and Daniel, there are not only refugees from Tethyr in the Battle Valley and even the surrounding valleys, but also a large number of them, and they have become a big trouble for the locals.
If you think about it carefully, this situation is very normal.
Calimshan and Tethyr are one of the important origins of mankind in Faerun. When the valley was reclaimed 1,500 years ago, their state system had been passed down for thousands of years.
As a hereditary monarchy, Tethyr once prospered for four or five hundred years, and the population increased several times, with a peak population of nearly ten million.
In the past half century, the royal power has fallen, warlords have risen, civil wars and foreign invasions have continued, and the population has dropped sharply, but the population density is still not comparable to the valley.
A small Nottburg has nearly a thousand people, not to mention a large city like Dalauma, which is close to a hundred thousand.
Such a densely populated city in the valley is simply unimaginable.
In the past half century, the number of war refugees exiled from Tethyr is definitely not a small number. Even if only a small part of them exiled to the valley, it would definitely be a big trouble for such a relatively loosely ruled area.
As outsiders, in order to survive, they must stick together abnormally.
Due to years of warlord melee, the customs of Tethyr are now notoriously fierce, and militias are everywhere.
This also became Gavin's great opportunity.
As long as his flag is raised and he can gain a foothold, he will have a natural attraction to the Tethyr refugees.
And what they have always accepted is the monarchy concept of loyalty and patriotism, which has a natural advantage in obedience to the lord.
Especially in this environment of leaving their homes, they will unite closely around themselves.
"Okay." Regina and Daniel agreed at the same time, because this is a matter of course.
Gavin guessed correctly that the war refugees from Tethyr are more than just trouble.
Many people have a military background, including deserters and soldiers who fled after being defeated in battle. Many have served for many years and have no other skills except swinging swords to cut people.
Such people often find it difficult to integrate into peaceful life, and often end up on the road of violent looting.
In the valley, Tethyr refugees are almost associated with terms such as bandits and robbers.
This makes it more difficult for local forces to accept them, forcing them to stick together, and then the conflict with local residents becomes more intense.
It's a vicious cycle.
If there is a territory willing to accept them and send them all here, it will be something that many local residents are happy to see.
As for whether they will become bigger and affect the safety of the entire valley, this perspective on things is not possessed by ordinary people.
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation." Gavin raised the black wine in his hand.
"Happy cooperation." Everyone followed and raised their glasses together.
With common interests, the relationship between the three parties has become more harmonious.
Gavin entered into a deeper exchange with Regina on the matter of advertising.
For example, seamlessly add the advertisement of black wine to the poem of Vizeme Manor that Regina just created, and use it to expand the influence.
For example, hold large-scale tasting activities in some well-known hotels and pubs.
For example, how to promote the unique effect of black wine, even Mr. Darnell, the hammer of justice, said it was good.
For example, how to build momentum around the unique production of black wine, anyway, let people mistakenly believe that this black wine is formed due to the haunting of Vizeme Manor and cannot be produced in the future, but they cannot express any opinions in this regard, only let them misunderstand themselves, pave the way for mass production in the future, and make it impossible for people to catch the tail of false advertising.
At the same time, the sales direction of black wine was predicted.
Gavin and Regina agreed that the wealthy people in Sambia, especially the wine merchants, are the best customers.
In order to further improve the grade of black wine, they should make a big fuss about the packaging, at least to make it different from ordinary wine, the kind that looks high-end at first glance.
Gavin has a wealth of knowledge to learn from.
Regina has extraordinary creativity.
The two of them were a perfect match in this regard, and they were having a great time discussing.
The people around them broke into a cold sweat, as if four words were slowly emerging over their heads - black-hearted profiteers.
In just one night, in their mouths, the value of the black wine in that wine cellar will double, and it can be sold for at least 500,000.
By then, each family can earn 100,000.
This is still a conservative estimate, and the specific situation depends on the subsequent hype effect.
...
Unknown Underdark.
Unknown Drow City.
In the temple that looks more like a tomb than a temple, there is a statue of a Drow woman wrapped in a black cloak, with a hideous and distorted expression, and a female Drow elf hand with many silver rings.
This is the temple of the undead goddess of vengeance, the lady of the dead, and the vengeful ghost Qi Yalan Sari.
It was midnight.
In front of the statue, there were densely packed figures kneeling and praying devoutly.
A divine light suddenly bloomed from the statue.
Crack.
In front of the statue, a crystal clear skull suddenly shattered.
The leading drow suddenly stood up, turned around and looked at the other drow who were kneeling on the ground, and said angrily: "Someone has blasphemed our great lady, what should we do?"
"Revenge."
"Someone has destroyed the lady's sacred plan, what should we do?"
"Revenge."
"The ground, the valley, the battle valley, the Vizeme Manor, find this blasphemer and execute the most sacred revenge on him. This is the order of the goddess, and it is also our responsibility to take back everything the goddess needs."
"Yes, sir."
All the figures stood up and revealed their dark gray faces. They were also drow elves.
Without exception, they were not believers of Rose, but believers of Qiyalansari, who took revenge as their mission.
On their faces, there was no fear, only strong excitement.
As followers of the undead goddess of vengeance, revenge was their favorite thing, the meaning and essence of their existence.
Especially the sacred revenge for the undead goddess of vengeance.
It is even more glorious.
The darkness enveloped the tomb temple again, but what filled it was no longer pure darkness, but the shadow plane.
These revenge believers knew that this was their goddess, who was helping them and guiding them in the direction of revenge.
Without hesitation, they rushed into the darkness and embarked on the road of revenge for the goddess.
…
The next day, early in the morning.
Daniel and Regina said goodbye to Gavin separately.
The two groups did not travel together again, but each showed their magical powers.
Regina directly took out a fist-sized griffin statue, turned into a griffin mount, and flew away.
Daniel took two students and directly tore a shadow walk scroll, entered the shadow plane, and traveled quickly through the shadow plane.
For ordinary people, the extremely dangerous shadow plane is a shortcut for these three powerful paladins.
Previously, he came to Vizeme Manor through the trade route purely to make do with these temporary partners, and his true strength was not fully exposed.
Then again, Gavin also had a lot of hidden things that he didn't show in front of them.
It was normal for such a temporary adventure team to keep a few tricks for each other.
Even after sending them away, Gavin didn't dare to directly recruit Broken Thorn and Dog Demon into Vizeme Manor.
Who knows if Daniel has other magical powers that can sense the situation here? If he didn't go far at all and popped out from the shadow plane, it would be embarrassing.
Gavin asked Estel and Amanda to keep their physical state as much as possible even in the manor, and never turn into spirits unless it was absolutely necessary, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.
After sending away these non-friends, Gavin's first thing was not to visit Vizeme Manor, but to notify Lord Virginia to send him reinforcements.
As usual, Gavin used the return to the city spell again and returned to the dragon oak dragon nest.
The advantage of having teleportation is that even though you are thousands of miles away from home, it seems as if you haven’t gone far at all. You can come back whenever you want.
Because there was no rush this time, Gavin did not immediately drag Virginia to teleport to Vizeme Manor, but inspected the territory and dealt with some backlogs of official business.
Basically, there was not much official business to deal with.
Gavin had a good foundation at the beginning. All towns had their own responsibilities and development priorities.
In the town of Pitfall, they dug holes, set traps, and mined spirit crystals silently. They did not need to worry about other things. Their only connection with the Dragon Oak Territory and the outside world was the food input from the Black Well Tribe.
In order to increase the confidentiality of this town, the amount of food input per time was increased and the frequency was reduced. Everything was done secretly at night. Not to mention outsiders, most of the dog-headed people in the Dragon Oak Territory did not know the existence of Pitfall Town.
