I am a god in another world

Due to magic, everything in Faerun is polarized, and so is the speed of news transmission.

Among ordinary people, news is often extremely closed. When news reaches their ears, it is often several months or even years later, and they listen to it as a legend.

At the top, news is often terrifyingly fast, and news from hundreds of kilometers away can be transmitted in an instant (teleportation, it depends on whether you are willing to spend the money).

The rapid spread of the great achievements of the Conqueror Army in the North is the credit of the owner of the Anfield Village Horse Farm. The giant livestock dragging heavy trucks on the trade road is extremely conspicuous. As for their origins, those curious people naturally couldn't help but dig deep, and then involved the Conqueror Army and their Conqueror Road.

Many merchants were itching to get it, and they were ready to go to the Giant Plains when they had time to buy a few giant livestock. On the trade road with complex road conditions, these super-large livestock do have advantages that ordinary livestock do not have. After all, the dragging force of one horse far exceeds that of four horses combined.

Although anyone with a little common sense of magic knows that using magic to fix the mutant animals on ordinary livestock can also get giant livestock, the premise is that you have to find a superb spellcaster who is willing to make money. Since all spells involving professional experience are cast with extreme caution.

Even if you find a superb spellcaster willing to cast, two five-ring spells will cost you 5,000 gold coins, which is much more valuable than buying from the Giant Plains.

Residents of Anfei Village, who have had close interactions with Gavin, naturally pay special attention to the Conqueror Army. This is human nature.

"It's just luck, it's just luck." Such a straightforward face-to-face praise made Gavin not know how to respond, and he could only laugh and say, "The lady only saw our superficial glory, but not the difficulties behind us. This time I came here to ask for your help."

Gavin chose to get straight to the point. Playing tricks with someone like Gowther's mother who has a lot of experience and complicated thoughts will only complicate things. It is better to be simple and clear to save trouble.

"Huh? Asking us for help?" Gowther's mother laughed, "You can even defeat hundreds of thousands of monster armies. What else in this world can stump you? If you are also stumped, what help can we, a group of weak women, provide?"

During the dissemination, many news have been distorted. The army of monsters faced by the Conqueror Army has increased from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. It is estimated that it is not only the monster army that has been exaggerated, but also the size of the Conqueror Army has been exaggerated several times, and it is not certain that it has exceeded 100,000. Exaggeration is a common problem of all intelligent races.

Gavin did not correct Gowther's mother's cognitive error, but said solemnly: "Madam, I am not joking. We have gone far in the part dominated by monsters. The rest is the part where humans occupy an absolute dominant position. We need to put our swords in our pockets and use diplomacy as tactics, lips and teeth as weapons, and trade as shields. In this regard, Madam and your girls are absolutely strong. I hope you can help open up the situation."

He didn't want to invite Gowther's mother alone, but her entire Happy Hall.

In the Happy Hall of Mother Gowther, some escort girls responded to Gavin and Gowther's chain hotel plan and left, while others chose to stay in the Happy Hall to continue operating, and they accounted for the majority.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

When a person has tasted the taste of making quick money, it is difficult to save gold coins one by one.

Compared with running outside in the wind and rain and the danger of death, it is not as comfortable and comfortable as in the Happy Hall. Every day, they eat, drink and have fun with others, and they have a lot of gold. The income from their dance is the harvest of the hard work of the top craftsmen for a day, or the entire fortune of a farmer who works day and night for several days. The income of successful businessmen is certainly more than theirs, but there is a premise before this, that is, success. In comparison, there are probably more failed businessmen in this world.

There are certainly some inspirational examples of escort girls in Gowther's Mother's Fun House who have gone out and successfully opened up their own new lives, but this is only a minority. Most of them are not living a satisfactory life, and some even run back in circles.

Gavin did not mean to judge whether these escort girls were willing to be lowly and lazy. Everyone has the right to choose their own life. This is their choice. If possible, he just wants to use this choice for himself. Escort girls who have adapted to the bright lights and wine will find it easier to integrate into those luxurious and chaotic aristocratic circles, and naturally it will be easier to get the information Gavin needs.

As for their ability to collect intelligence, there is no need to doubt this. All taverns, hotels, and fun halls will also have the work of collecting and selling intelligence. The more famous the escort girls are, the more masters they are in this aspect. Many people invite them as companions, not just for pleasure, but the intelligence they have in their hands is also an important part of the services they provide.

When Gavin first came to Anfield Village, didn't he also use them as an important source of intelligence?

Mother Gowther was so smart that she understood immediately. "You mean, you want me to lead my girls to infiltrate the noble circle of the Kingdom of Cormyr? To help you gather intelligence?"

"Not just to break into the noble circle of the Kingdom of Cormyr, I plan to expand our hotel chain plan eastward, along the trade route along the Sword Coast coast to the traders' avenue on the Dragon Coast, and then expand the entire Conqueror The road is included in it. Since you have heard the name of this road here, you should know how big its potential is and how big an advantage I have there. I dare not say anything else there, but I can ensure that Your safety and business are priorities. "Gavin doesn't mind sharing with others when he eats meat. His stall is getting bigger and bigger, and trying to monopolize the benefits will only attract public anger. People who have nothing to do with it will It is better to sell favors to acquaintances and engage in deeper interest bundling.

"Every time you make an offer, we can't refuse it." Gao Se's mother couldn't help but sigh deeply.

She has not been idle in the past two months. She has been rapidly advancing the hotel chain plan on Changlu. She has already seen preliminary results and tasted the benefits.

These hotel chains have different origins or shapes, but their business models are printed from the same mold. That is to say, a lot of manpower, material resources and energy are invested in the early stages of development. Once they have arranged the right people, they only need to carry out operations and accounting. If they are supervised, they will be able to operate normally. I dare not say that they will make a fortune every day, but they will be able to continuously and stably provide wealth.

Just by stabilizing the hotel chain on the long road, the monthly income will be ten times that of Gao Se's Mother Happy Hall at its peak.

The Long Road is only 700 kilometers long, and the total length of the roads mentioned by Gavin is not 10,000 kilometers, but 5,000. If they eat them all, this will become a source of gold coins flowing into their treasury. The river brings them a steady stream of wealth.

But the price they need to pay is also high, which means that they will step into the chariot of the conqueror's army. Being a spy is different from doing business. The risk factor will rise sharply, and if you are not careful, you will be undone.

Gavin knew there was something going on as soon as he heard Gowther's mother's tone, and hurriedly added: "Just like before, what kind of life they choose is entirely up to them. We don't need to force anything."

No one has a grudge against wealth, and Gowther's mother is no exception. At best, she looks down on those small interests, but the price offered by Gavin is too generous, and the potential he has shown is too great. If you continue to bet on him, if you are not careful, you will gain not only wealth, but also unimaginable power.

"You are wrong this time." Gao Se's mother said with an extremely serious expression, "If you really want to do this, it is not as simple as volunteering. You must also go through strict screening, assessment and training. This The matter will involve their life and death. Not every escort girl has such quality. The escort girls in my hands are not enough. "

"The lady is right, but I took it too much for granted." Gavin immediately corrected his attitude and said, "It's just that the risk factor of going to the Kingdom of Cormyr this time is relatively small. After all, our army of conquerors is there. "We and Cormier each have their own needs. It is nothing more than trying to maximize our own interests. We need to conduct repeated inquiries. After this matter is handled, we will discuss whether to conduct in-depth cooperation."

What Gao Se's mother said was already biased towards the spy.

Gavin wanted them to be diplomats, make full use of their ability to dance, and act as spies in the open, with a relatively low risk factor.

Secret agent, Gavin already has the Black Wings that are being secretly formed on the Dragon Coast.

"Since the general has offered such generous terms, if I don't agree again, my escort girls will definitely eat me if they find out." Gao Se's mother responded with a smile, "But we have agreed in advance that we can only I’ll try my best, but to what extent I can’t guarantee it.”

"That's enough." Of course, Gavin would not place all his hopes on them. They were just an auxiliary, and the core force would still be on his side.

"Since you are going to Cormyr, this book will definitely be of some help." Gowther's mother handed Gavin a thick kraft paper book.

Varro's Travels to Cormyr.

Seeing the name of this book, Gavin couldn't help but lost his voice: "Has this book been published now?"

For him, this book is not only helpful, it is simply a window to comprehensively understand the Kingdom of Cormyr. It will have a guiding role in his future industrial layout in the Kingdom of Cormyr.

Varro is the name of a traveling mage who became famous with the series of books called Varro's Travels.

He is not only the author of Varro's Travels: Cormyr, but also Varro's Travels: Northland, Varro's Travels: Waterdeep, Varro's Travels: Monster Manual, etc.

He had only heard of this travel series in his previous life, but had never actually bought one. After all, due to the printing and papermaking methods of Faerun, the spread of many publications would be limited to a small area for a long time.

"What do you mean it's been published now? Do you know this book?" This time it was Gowther's mother's turn to look confused.

"I heard that Master Varro once saw some excerpts from his previous travelogue. He once mentioned that he was going to write a travelogue about the Northland and Cormyr. But you know the temperament of these authors. They have always It's not on time. No one knows when it will be published. I thought it would take a while." Gavin was vague.

Although he didn't know the specific order of the Travels of Varro, one thing was certain, the Travels of Varro: Cormier was definitely not the first book in this series. Places like Waterdeep, which were relatively developed in all aspects and had a good audience, were the first choice for publication. After a certain amount of people and funds were accumulated, it would be the most correct choice to go on a long-distance trip. In any world, long-distance travel was an extremely expensive behavior.

"I see." Mother Gowther suddenly realized and believed in Gavin's explanation. "This is the internal version of the transcription I got from my friend in Waterdeep. Large-scale printing will have to wait until next year."

Mother Gowther once again proved with her actions that she had a wide range of friends and great power in Waterdeep. This involved a core confidential document of a publication publisher.

"Thank you, ma'am, for your trouble." Gavin thanked him solemnly.

At the same time, he couldn't help wondering, could it be that Mother Gowther had already guessed that he would invite her to Cormier? She actually made preparations in advance?

"It's just a coincidence. I'm a loyal reader of Mr. Varro. I read all his publications as soon as possible. My friend also knows my preferences, so he prepared a book for me in advance. Now you need it more than I do." As if to prove that she was not talking nonsense, Mother Gowther walked directly to the bookcase and opened it. Not only were there the complete series of Varro's Travels, but also a series of more niche books such as Varro's Magic Encyclopedia, Varro's Personal Biography, and Varro's Diary Excerpts. Although they were neatly arranged, the obvious wrinkles showed that these were not just decorations, and their owners often read them.

"Even so, thank you Ma'am." Gavin was even more surprised. "I have always wanted to read Mr. Varro's complete works, but I have never had the chance. Since you have so many here, can I borrow them to read?"

"Of course." Mother Gowther said generously, "What do you need? I'll pack them for you."

"Don't be so troublesome, I'll just take them to the hotel to read." Gavin simply adjusted his schedule and did not return to the City of Faith today. He spent a whole day reading all the books of Mr. Varro.

"Since you are reading in Anfield Village, it will be even simpler. Just read them here. It is much quieter in the Joy Hall during the day than in your hotel." Mother Gowther gave a more convenient idea.

"Then I'll trouble you, Ma'am." Gavin did not refuse, because the Stone Stallion Hotel was indeed a bit noisy during the day.

It was not just for the grain purchase from the Kobold Quarry, but also because the situation here had gradually opened up with the long-term disappearance of the Weeping Witch. Although it was not busy, the occupancy rate had increased significantly. After all, there was no competitor in Anfel Village, and the price was relatively reasonable. The morning and evening were the busiest times, with merchants and travelers coming in and out.

When he arrived at Gowther's mother's place, he was invisible the whole time.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, I'll let them prepare it together." Gowther's mother said with concern.

Gavin shook his head and rejected Gowther's mother's kindness, saying, "Your girls are all smart. If you ask them to deliver two meals to the room, it will definitely cause a lot of suspicion. Why not try the cooking skills of my chef."

Turning his head, Gavin took out three dishes and a soup from the portable dimensional cave. Although there were not many dishes, the quantity was not small, with both meat and vegetables, and they were still steaming.

He never treats himself badly in this regard. As long as there is space in the portable dimension cave, he will carry a lot of them with him, just to be prepared.

"Even if they are given ten more courage, they dare not suspect me." Gaoshen's mother said domineeringly, "Since you are so well prepared, don't bother them. Your diet is too greasy for me. I need to control my body shape. I have a special breakfast, so I won't go with you. If there is nothing else, you can read a book here. There is still a lot of work to prepare to send them to Cormier."

"Okay." Gavin did not force it. No matter which world, women are very concerned about their body shape, especially these ladies in the Happy Hall. Three meals a day are always plain. This is the price they must pay to keep their money-making capital. Although Gaoshen's mother does not need to entertain people with her appearance, her control over this aspect of herself is even better than other escort girls.

Gavin ate and read, and soon immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge.

For the other series of Varro's Travels, he just read through the shorthand and did not study them seriously. It was not too late to leave this for leisure time. These only took a few hours. He spent most of his energy on Varro's Travels of Cormier. He not only studied it carefully, but also took out paper and pen to write and draw.

During the reading process, Gavin's biggest feeling was that it was worthy of being a travel book. This Varro wizard was full of unique interests in eating and drinking. Since every village he introduced, he would inevitably comment on the local food and drink specialties, taverns, and hotels. For those who want to follow his footsteps to travel, this part is naturally very helpful, which can help tourists effectively avoid thunder and prevent being cheated.

But for people like Gavin who have other intentions, this part is the most useless thing, basically just a rough pass.

The second feeling is that Master Varro really dares to write anything, and he is also very capable. He even got some secret orders of the Kingdom of Cormyr, and wrote them in his travel notes, including some unreliable gossip.

When this book is officially published, it will be the time when the Kingdom of Cormyr changes its secret orders on a large scale, and it will also be the time when Mr. Varro will be listed on the list of the most unwelcome people in the Kingdom of Cormyr.

If I meet this Master Varro in the future, I must be careful about my words and deeds to prevent some of my things from becoming the writing material of his new book.
