I am a god in another world

Chapter 485: A thief

The ghost cloak also failed. Although it transforms people into ghosts, it is not a real spirit. Its invisibility belongs to shadow invisibility, which cannot allow it to enter the etheric plane.

Gavin counted on his fingers, but he still couldn't find a way to enter the cabin.

After going around in circles, he finally had to find a breakthrough in the Weeping Witch.

This matter is not something Gavin can control. The only thing he can do is wait for the Weeping Witch to appear.

When night falls and the moon emerges.

The fog covering the cabin becomes thicker, and a phantom slowly floats out of the cabin.

To be more precise, it should be that the fog covering the cabin begins to withdraw and gather, forming the phantom of the Weeping Witch.

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

He guessed correctly that this cabin is the anchor point of the Weeping Witch and the medium point for her to enter the material plane. Once the cabin is destroyed, she will probably not be able to enter the material plane and will be completely lost in the etheric plane.

The etheric plane has another name - the Lost Land.

This proves that I have found the right place.

"I will kill you!"

The weeping witch, who appeared again as a silent phantom, found that her secret magic hut had been exposed, and she was immediately furious.

With five big words on her head, she rushed towards Gavin.

Gavin was prepared for this, so he just stood there, not dodging, and let the silent phantom pass through him.

A chill emanated from inside to outside.

This chill was different from the biting chill of negative energy, and was more damp and cold.

That was all. The other party was just a phantom made of ether mist, and could not cause any substantial harm to Gavin.

Gavin did not try to resist or explain, but let her scratch and scratch him.

The other party was now in a state of rage, and it was useless for him to try to say anything.

However, the self-control ability of the silent phantom was far beyond Gavin's imagination, and it did not last until the power was exhausted.

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

"I want to communicate with you calmly and get what we need." Gavin did not express his demands. In the past few days, he seriously reflected on the way he treated the Weeping Witch and found that there were big problems.

Because at the beginning, he targeted the Netheril magic book and only regarded the Weeping Witch as a source of information and an obstacle.

Only considering what he needs, not what the other party needs, the communication will naturally end in failure.

The Weeping Witch's demands are very simple, that is, to let Gavin and others leave completely and give up exploring here.

But the fundamental reason behind it is that she is afraid of exposing her biggest secret and threatening herself.

"Tell me, how can we get what we need?" After her biggest secret was exposed, the Weeping Witch had to re-examine this young man.

The other party was obviously well prepared, knew clearly what he wanted, and his energy was not comparable to that of ordinary people.

In just a few days, she dug out her deep secrets.

If my original body appeared in the material plane, I would definitely be able to crush him to death, but the problem is that according to the other party's progress, he would find a way to break through the hut before that time.

"I have said before that driving us away is a temporary solution, why don't we put aside our prejudices and find a way to coexist?" Gavin said, "Madam, you drove us away from here, but your anchor point in the material world is here. Once it is destroyed, you will be lost in the fog.

But even if we leave, you can't stop others from settling in. After all, Madam's power in the material plane is limited. Scaring means alone can only deal with ordinary people. Slightly stronger professionals will not work, but will attract unnecessary attention.

I am willing to keep this secret for Madam and protect your anchor point from any damage."

"What do you want?" The silent phantom repeated the first words again.

"Orcist." Gavin uttered his ultimate goal, "I want to advance to Orcist."

This has been his goal from the beginning to the end. As for whether it is obtained from the Netheril magic book or from the Weeping Witch, it makes no difference.

Gavin clearly felt that the Silent Phantom fluctuated a little, and seemed to relax a lot. There was a kind of emotional fluctuation that you mentioned earlier.

Because of the frequent adjustment of the Heart Wine recently, Gavin is particularly sensitive to the emotional fluctuations of others. The Silent Phantom is now a spirit, so it is naturally easier to be sensed.

"I can teach you how to become an Orcist, but you have to close this place again." At the same time as the misty small words appeared above the head of the Silent Phantom, the other party's hand also pointed to the underground passage that was dug up.

This situation made her feel very insecure.

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

Anyway, he has no way to enter the hut for a while. The other party is obviously covering his ears and stealing the bell, and the hut can't run away. If he can open it the first time, it will not be difficult to open it the second time.

"Three days later, here and now." The Silent Phantom appeared with the last line of small words and disappeared again.

Having the exact time is actually a good thing for Gavin. He doesn't have to be nailed here and can do other things.

In the next three days, except for the unshakable enlightenment trees, the rest of the time was spent in the abandoned quarry.

Just as Gavin calculated, the further you go, the fewer kobolds you can gather every day. When the total number reaches 500, there are only a few dozen kobolds that can be gathered every day. The labor is not proportional to the effort, Gavin Just stop this matter and concentrate on rebuilding the quarry.

Given the miserable appearance of the kobolds in Stone Bridge Hills, if they make a little noise here, the quality of life of these kobolds will improve, and those wild kobolds will come to seek refuge on their own.

Goss brought a weird-looking humanoid creature to Gavin, and said to Gavin extremely flatteringly: "Lord, with a clever plan and a little trick, the monsters here were forced out. He is the deformed person here." The leader of Dakar.”

He turned to the deformed man and said arrogantly: "The person standing in front of you now is Lord Gavin, the King of Dragons and the sacred guardian of the Dragon Oak Territory. If you have any demands, just tell the Lord."

Goss used his actual actions to explain what it means to have two sides.

In front of Gavin, he was just a little dog with nodding legs.

In front of these outsiders, he was an extremely noble envoy of the lord.

Gavin's eyes couldn't help but fall on this deformed man, his eyes searching.

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

At first glance, it looks like a centaur, but upon closer inspection, you will find that he lacks the coordination of a real centaur.

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

Where the two meet, there are shocking suture scars.

This is half of the body of two completely different creatures, forcibly pieced together.

But the strange thing is that not only did the opponent not die, but he could walk like a centaur.

The secret should lie in the weird negative energy that permeates his body. The deformed man in front of him is not a real creature, but half human and half undead. His upper body belongs to a human and is alive, while his lower body belongs to a horse and is filled with the power of death. A dead object is more like a unique death device.

The power of life and death has reached a strange balance in the creature in front of him.

This deformed man named Dakar was so humble in front of Gavin, "Dakar has met the Lord. I am here on behalf of the deformed people in the mine. I hope you can let us live. As long as you let us go." Open the way. We are willing to move away from this place and never come back. In return, we are willing to dedicate all our property to the lord."

Even races that are not too smart, such as goblins and kobolds, will compromise when faced with disadvantages, not to mention other intelligent creatures. Many things are resolved through negotiation and negotiation, and only when forced to do so will they be put into action. force.

These deformed people are no exception. The young red dragon hovering above the mine is a terrifying existence that they cannot compete with, let alone Gavin who can control it. Using money in exchange for the other party's mercy is the best choice.

"Tell me your story." Gavin did not express his position directly, but asked curiously.

Dakar's face was filled with unconcealable sorrow and anger: "We are just a group of poor people who were forced to do nothing. That bastard Del Rhodes did something to us that is outrageous to both humans and gods. He turned us into human beings and ghosts." No, luckily he walked into the underground portal and never came out again. We took the opportunity to escape from his underground laboratory.

But our weird appearance has made it impossible for us to return to the human race. I once came here to quarry stones and knew that there was a place to stay here, so I escaped here. We have nothing to ask for but to survive. "

"Teleportal gate? You mean, there is a teleportation gate under that villa?" Gavin suddenly realized that if this is the case, no wonder Gowther's mother dared to buy that building.

After all, the portal is a dead object. As long as you don't take the initiative to walk in, there will be no danger.

Even if it leads to an unknown place, for fear of danger coming, it is much easier to restrict a portal than to build one.

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

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

Abnormal people are naturally not stingy with information that does not concern them.

"Letting you leave is just a matter of words, but after you leave here, where are you going to go?" Gavin asked.

"I don't know either. We can only take it one step at a time." Dakar looked confused and sad. "Ordinary people simply can't accept our terrifying appearance. When we appear in front of them, they will only treat us as monsters. We We can only continue walking into the mountains to find a new place to stay.”

"Why don't I give you a choice, accept my employment and work for me." Gavin pointed to the abandoned quarry and said, "I plan to rebuild this quarry and use kobolds. They will not treat you. Discrimination, and you help them deal with some things they are not good at, as long as you sincerely assist me, I will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing, no longer be homeless, and no longer have your life in danger. "

Gavin never considered himself a good person, but if it came his way, he wouldn't mind helping the disadvantaged and leaving them a way to survive.

"Lord, are you willing to hire us?" What Dakar showed was not ecstasy, but a deep vigilance.

They had been cruelly hurt by others, so they were very wary of others, especially the nobles.

"This is my personal proposal. It's up to you to choose. You should have seen how I treated the dog-headed people these days. I still have mercy on the dog-headed people. Would I harm you for no reason?"

Gavin said calmly, "If I really wanted to hurt you, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. I just need to seal all the holes in the cave where you hide.

You are all in such a mess. Apart from a little labor, what else is worth my plan?"

Dakar fell into silence and thought seriously about the other party's words.

I couldn't help but recall what I saw and heard in the past few days. Although they couldn't get close to observe, it was not difficult to see from the fragrance floating in the air and the reactions of those dog-headed people that their food was quite good.

Although the working time of those dog-headed people was not short, it was far from unacceptable. Occasionally, I could hear the dog-headed people who brought me here scolding and barking, and rarely heard the whipping sound.

The red dragon was not as ferocious as the legend said. It was mostly high above and did not eat the dog-headed people at will.

Just as the other party said, they were all miserable like this, what else was there for them to plot against?

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

"Go." Gavin waved his hand.

This time when he came to Anfei Village, Gavin's biggest feeling was that he really felt his own growth.

Perhaps the enemies he faced recently were all extraordinary. Even if he won the victory in the end, he used extraordinary means in many places, and he would lose everything if he was a little bit off.

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

In terms of power, in front of these deformed people, it has reached an extreme. Their life and death are only between his thoughts.

This is a very unique feeling, which makes people intoxicated without knowing it. No wonder so many people are addicted to power.

Gavin felt that he also liked this feeling a little bit.

The speed at which these deformed people made decisions was much faster than Gavin expected.

Less than half an hour after Dakar returned, a group of deformed people with strange and twisted appearances, led by him, walked out of the cave tremblingly and crawled in front of Gavin like lambs to be slaughtered.

It was still the artificial centaur from before, and said respectfully: "We are willing to accept the employment of the lord, not asking for wages, but only hoping to have a place to stay. We will definitely do our best to serve the lord."

There were a total of 23 deformed people, and no half of them were the same.

Some had an extra arm on their chests, some had tentacles on their heads, and some had an extra eye behind their heads, etc.

Even if Gavin was mentally prepared, he still felt uncomfortable, not to mention that ordinary people would be scared to death if they were unprepared and bumped into such a nightmare in the wilderness.

The condition of their body modification was exactly the same as that of the artificial centaur Madakar. The extra part was a death prosthesis.

They were not just for display, but most of them had unique functions.

For example, the artificial centaur had two strength attributes, upper body and lower body. The lower body strength of the horse was far greater than his upper body and most war horses, which gave him extraordinary dragging ability, but the upper body's carrying ability was no different from that of ordinary people.

The deformed man with an extra eye on the back of his head had a bit of the nature of the real eye, and could see many things that normal eyes could not see.

The one with a lot of shots on his head had certain psychic abilities.

The crazy necromancer named Delroz obviously wanted to use this unique method to imitate the advantages or special abilities of other species on humans, and he had achieved initial success, if the deformities brought about by it were ignored.

This was a small surprise for Gavin.

Sometimes, the chicken-stealing and dog-stealing people can also be of great use.

Deformed people are also a kind of unique resource. Maybe at some point, they can use their extraordinary abilities, so Dakar compiled a detailed list of abilities for him.

Then he told Goss to treat these deformed people the same way he treated normal people.

There was no need for special care for them.

Their unique situation determined that as long as they were treated as normal people, they would follow him wholeheartedly.

After dealing with the last unstable factor in the Kobold Quarry, it started to operate at full capacity, and a large amount of high-quality blue-gray stone was mined.

These stones were not immediately put on the market, but were produced and used by the local people. They were all smashed on the six and a half kilometers of wilderness trail from the quarry to the long road.

Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood.

This six and a half kilometers of road is for sharpening the knife.

Only when it is paved flat enough and easy to walk on, can the stones here be transported more conveniently - these are all real heavy goods.

Most of the enlightenment trees that Gavin enlightened here will be transferred to the quarry after completing the maintenance work of the Stone Stallion Hotel. They will be used as crane loaders.

As for the transportation work, it is left to ordinary horse-drawn heavy trucks. There is no shortage of pastures and horses here, so the quantity can make up for it. Especially when there are good roads, the carrying capacity is still quite amazing.

It will take time to really see the results.

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