I am a god in another world
Chapter 92 Forbidden Knowledge
The effect of spiritual crystals has skyrocketed, and the value of spiritual crystal mines has also increased.
Gavin had already wanted to move into the Spirit Crystal Mine, but due to the limited number of kobold miners, he was unable to tap the potential of the Spirit Crystal Mine for the time being, so he kept putting it off.
This incident directly helped him make up his mind.
Such an important strategic material is safest in your own hands, even if the output will temporarily decrease.
Cutting off food is naturally the first step.
All that's left is to wait for the Spirit Crystal Mine to empty out its previous food reserves and cause internal chaos.
Gavin's third day after dealing with Clay.
The leader of the caravan, Bede Sage, hurriedly appeared outside the Black Well tribe. This time he did not come with the caravan, but only brought two guards.
As soon as they met, Bede asked directly: "Is Clay dead?"
"Yes." Gavin was not prepared to hide this matter at all.
This matter not only needs to be known to the caravans, but also to be widely publicized. Word warnings are not enough, naked blood is also needed.
"Where are the four heavily armored guards he brought? Did you kill them all together?" Bede asked anxiously.
"That's not true. I know they are mercenaries and have no enmity against them. I just detained them." Gavin pretended not to know and asked, "What's wrong? Do they have a strong background?"
"It has a great origin." Hearing that they were still alive, Bede breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Have you heard of the Red Crow Mercenary Group? Have you heard of Leyana Rose of Flame Dance?"
"No." Gavin pretended to be ignorant and asked for knowledge and advice.
Although he knew about the Red Crow Mercenary Group, he really didn't know much information.
"The Red Crow Mercenary Group is the largest mercenary group around Yandi. Let's put it this way, among all the caravans that set off from the valley and pass through Yandi, there will definitely be mercenaries from the Red Crow Mercenary Group. They regard Yandi as their rearguard. Garden." Bede explained patiently, "Their leader Leyana is a powerful warrior who is only one step away from being a legend. We are definitely not someone we can afford to offend."
"Uncle, what do you mean, Clay's action this time is not a private action, but an affair with the Red Crow Mercenary Group? Did they promote this?" Gavin's heart couldn't help but sink. If this is the case, the nature of the whole thing will be different. This has changed. His conflict with the Red Crow Mercenary Group will be brought forward.
Bede was stunned and couldn't help but shook his head: "Brother Gavin, you are thinking too much. The Red Crow Mercenary Group's behavior is not so bottomless. This time, Clay was purely blinded by greed and secretly The operation was just to hire mercenaries from the Red Crow Mercenary Group. They probably wanted to use the name of the Red Crow Mercenary Group to save their lives after the incident. Unexpectedly, Brother Gavin had never heard of the Red Crow Mercenary Group. The name of the Corps, too, after all, you have just arrived in Yandi and have had too little contact with the outside world."
"That's it." Gavin breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a bit of embarrassment on his face, "Uncle Bede, what should we do next?"
"Now you know how to ask for my opinion? Why didn't you ask for my opinion when you were killing Clay?" There was a trace of dissatisfaction in Bede's words.
Obviously, he had no objections to Gavin's killing of Clay. After all, he was a partner in a group, so he still had feelings for him.
"The nature is different." Gavin said seriously, "If I really hand Clay over to Uncle Bede, it will be even more difficult for you. When the time comes, will you kill him or not?
Kill, your prestige in the caravan will be seriously affected.
If we don't kill, it will directly destroy the basic bottom line of our cooperation. When the time comes, everyone will want to interfere randomly for their own interests, and we will fall into endless internal fighting, and there will be no talk of win-win cooperation at all.
As for the Red Crow Mercenary Group, they are outsiders, and of course we must treat them unanimously. "
"You alone have said the good and the bad, what else do you want me to say?" Bede couldn't help but sighed again, "Killing decisively is sometimes a good thing, sometimes not necessarily. You are like this It offends people so much. It blocks his own path and makes a group of people hold grudges. Clay is not alone. He has a big family behind him. "
"So, you are businessmen, and I'm just a miner." Gavin looked indifferent. If he were to do anything, he would be as forward-thinking and prepared as Bede. He wouldn't have to do anything.
Bede thought about it seriously and said: "This is also the reason. If you do everything, there will be nothing for us. Leave the four mercenaries of the Red Crow Mercenary Group to me and take away the rest. , let me handle it.”
"Then I'll trouble Uncle Bede." Gavin happily threw the four hot potatoes out. Although it was inevitable to deal with the Red Crow Mercenary Group in the future, it was not now. At least based on his current strength, he didn't want to deal with it. Contact this behemoth head-on - because there is nothing to gain.
Gavin pondered for a moment and then said: "Uncle Bede, our business is now open. It's not an option for you to always be so scattered. I suggest that you'd better set up a chamber of commerce to decide how much money to invest." way, shareholding dividends will be carried out, and the business with Heijing will be handed over to specialized people to take care of it. You will not have to go there one by one in person. When the time comes, you can completely separate yourself and do other work elsewhere. Business."
"Do you think I don't have any ideas in this regard?" Bed couldn't help but sigh again, "Ten people have twelve minds, one is afraid of making less money, the other is afraid that others will make more money than him. It's too difficult to pull them together."
"It's difficult, but we have to do it. Otherwise, you will always be a group of lone men." Gavin said with a hint of pride on his face, "I'm not bragging. According to your current development pace, it won't be long before you can't keep up with me. Don't blame me for not waiting for you then."
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.
Bed showed a solemn expression. Gavin's development speed is here.
Everything is difficult at the beginning.
The most difficult thing is the beginning, but he easily crossed it.
Not to mention that with the current solid foundation, I believe that the future development speed will be faster and faster.
According to the current situation, whether in terms of ideas or pace, one day they may really not catch up.
Bed believes that this day will not be too far away.
At that time, once Gavin cooperates with other large chambers of commerce, even if Gavin cares about the old friendship, those large chambers of commerce will not be polite to them, and will exclude them little by little for the sake of profit.
No.
He absolutely will not allow this situation to happen. This is the gold mine they have dug with great difficulty. How can they easily give it to others?
In any case, the group of scattered business owners should be integrated together and they can no longer be allowed to play.
Not only Gavin is worried about the emergence of a second Clay, but Bed is also worried.
Clay's behavior is not only to pry Gavin's wall, but also to pry the entire caravan.
"Brother Gavin said a lot. I will consider this matter carefully. You wait for my good news." Bed shook Gavin's hand and promised solemnly.
"Okay." Gavin just mentioned it casually. He didn't care much about this matter.
The reason for cooperating with Bed and others before was that he had no channels and could only make money out of nothing. There was no choice.
Now that he has real goods and has become a seller, supply and demand will change, and merchants will gradually come to him.
Bed came quickly and left quickly.
After talking to Gavin, he left in a hurry with four heavily armed guards of the Red Crow Mercenary Group.
Although he coveted the heavy armor of the four heavily armed guards, in order not to offend the Red Crow Mercenary Group, Gavin had to give up with pain.
As soon as Bed left, Gavin went into the newly established alchemy laboratory in Black Well.
He was working with the dog-headed alchemist in the Eagle Cliff Cave to find ways to improve the tremor bomb.
To be more precise, Gavin found ways and the dog-headed alchemist cooperated with the improvement.
The five lumps of earth that had previously blown the goblin wolf cavalry and Clay's caravan to pieces were the tremor bombs that were a specialty of the dog-headed people.
In Gavin's opinion, the instability of this bomb was too high.
Not only was it unstable in use, but also unstable in power.
It's as likely to be a half-ogre fart as it is to be comparable to a fireball spell.
There are three types of vibrator bombs produced by kobolds - weak, strong and dragon.
The production cost of a weak vibrator bomb is about 100 gold coins, and it weighs about half a kilogram.
The lethality is very unsatisfactory, just like a strong acid bottle, which only causes 1D5 points of strong acid damage to all creatures within a three-meter range (1-5 points, depending on the degree of splash).
Gavin doesn't even produce this kind of vibrator bomb.
The production cost of a strong vibrator bomb is about 300 gold coins, and it also weighs about half a kilogram.
The killing range and lethality are improved, and the splash radius is three meters, but the stability is too poor. It causes 1D4*1D6 acid damage to creatures within the explosion radius.
This is the first time Gavin has seen such a strange identification technique. It is estimated that except for kobolds, those equally unreliable goblins can make such a strange thing.
This means you roll 1d4 and 1d6 and multiply the results to determine the damage it causes when it explodes.
Therefore, a strong flutter bomb is just as likely to cause 1 damage as 24 damage (but most likely to cause a value around 9 damage).
The situation of the dragon flutter bomb is similar to that of the strong flutter bomb, except that the production cost reaches 1,000 gold coins and the weight exceeds one kilogram.
The killing radius reaches about five meters, and the damage becomes 1D6*1D8, which is between 1-48.
The kobold alchemist obviously has no sense of confidentiality and does not mind Gavin watching him make flutter bombs, because he does not think that Gavin can learn this craft.
This is also true. Gavin really can't learn it, because it not only uses material materials, but also requires magic to neutralize and mix.
Once magic is involved, don't think you can explain it clearly in one or two sentences.
Gavin doesn't know the mixing process, but he still knows some of the basic principles of explosion.
Tremor bombs, obviously use two different substances, which are mixed by shaking to produce a chemical reaction, and then explode and spray acid.
The more fully the two substances are mixed, the greater the power of the explosion, and vice versa.
Gavin is working on this, trying to see if he can find a way to make it more stable and more fully mixed.
Once he has sorted out his thoughts, it is not difficult to find a method.
Because he not only has physical and chemical means, but also magical means.
You only need to add a small magic wheel to the surface of the tremor bomb. When using it, activate it and let it spin wildly to drive the mixing of the two substances.
At that time, you don’t even need to shake it. After a few seconds, you can throw it out.
With the wheel, the power and stability of the tremor bomb have increased sharply.
The improved strong tremor bomb has finally reached a normal lethality of 4D6 (between 4-24). This lethality is completely determined by the degree of strong acid splashing, not the previous kind that directly becomes a dud.
The improved dragon tremor bomb has a lethality of 6D8 (between 6-48).
But there is a new defect, that is, the requirements for using the tremor bomb have been raised, and you must have the ability to mobilize magic to activate the wheel.
Fortunately, the Black Well Tribe now has a dragon-hunting ceremony, and there are not a few dog-headed people who have opened spell-like abilities, which makes the use of tremor bombs more professional.
In Gavin’s eyes, this is just a temporary alternative, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the tremor bomb.
Gavin came out of the alchemy laboratory and went into Anna's chapel again.
Like Gavin's residence, these are two stone caves. The inner one is Anna's residence, and the outer one is a small chapel. In addition to a small statue of Ilmat, there are rows of stone chairs, which are very simple.
This chapel has now become a temporary prison, imprisoning the special prisoner, the dog demon Andrew.
In addition to using physical means to limit his possibility of using spells to escape, Anna needs to give him a healing spell from time to time to weaken his energy as much as possible.
"Mr. Andrew, how are you thinking about it?" Gavin began to show some impatience, "You know, I can't keep you for a long time. If you don't give up your real name, I will have to send you on your way."
"Come on, I'll wait." The dog demon now regards death as a kind of relief. Anyway, he will not really die, but just needs to return to that damn Shura Field. The life here is even more terrifying than Shura Field.
Gavin sighed helplessly. He had too few means now, especially those that could threaten a devil. When the other party was ready to die, he was really helpless.
"I can't give you my real name." A cunning flashed in the orange eyes of the dog demon, "But there is a compromise. I know a binding array that can make you sign a master-servant contract with me. During your lifetime, I will regard you as my master and obey all your orders."
"Hey..." Gavin sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? Let me believe in a devil's binding array. I don't know if you regard me as your master during my lifetime, but my soul after death will definitely belong to you. It's a good plan."
"Just take care of the things before death, why bother about the afterlife?" The dog demon neither admitted nor There was a denial, "Since you know our race, you should know how high our growth potential is and how fast our growth rate is. As long as you provide me with enough powerful corpses, I will soon become your most powerful helper and I will help you clear all obstacles."
"You think too highly of yourself." Gavin sneered, "I admit that I am optimistic about your potential, especially your gnawing. It is very useful to deal with those who want them to shut up and disappear completely, but clearing all obstacles is not enough even if you upgrade to the top level. God-killer, can you do it?"
Gavin's last question was half true and half false.
The dog demon's orange eyes jumped involuntarily. God-killer, you dare to say it out loud. If God is so easy to kill, is he still a God?
Gavin used words to talk to the dog demon again, and he pulled it to the limit for a while. After finding that there was no more gain, he could only leave in disappointment.
Tonight, I will dig into the memory for the last time to see if there is any ability to make this devil use it for myself. If not, I can only send him on his way.
When it comes to killing demons and devils, Gavin had a lot of experience in his previous life. Whether in the material plane or in the abyss, the number of demons that died in his hands was at least 800.
But controlling demons, especially the cunning demons, is almost zero experience.
As soon as Gavin came out of the church, Anna followed him sneakily.
"What's the matter?" Gavin looked at the young priest who was hesitant to speak with a bit of amusement.
As usual, her expression was written on her face, a little complicated.
From it, Gavin could tell the little excitement of touching the taboo, and the strong sense of guilt, a little expression that I really want to tell, but I can't.
"This... that... nothing... yes..." The young priest's snow-white and slender fingers were about to become twisted.
"If you don't tell me, I'll leave." Gavin made a gesture to lift his foot to leave.
"Wait...wait..." Anna stamped her feet, emotion overcoming reason, and said, "Mr. Gavin, do you still remember the prayer book I brought out of the church?"
"Remember? What's the matter?" Gavin certainly knew the young priest's prayer book, and usually treated it like a treasure. If it weren't too heavy, he would have wanted to carry it with him.
"That prayer book is actually a book of exorcism, and it contains a lot of knowledge about demons and devils." The young priest said a little embarrassedly, "A lot of the knowledge in it is taboo."
"Oh? What taboo?" Gavin suddenly became very interested. Taboos are often linked to power, especially knowledge that is tabooed by the church. Most of them are related to demons and devils. Considering that he just had a conversation with the dog demon, it might be related to it.
"This..." The girl priest's eyes wandered and dodged again. She seemed to be unsure whether to tell Gavin about the next thing. After all, this was a matter of signing a contract with the devil, and it was not something that she, a priest of Ilmat, should tell others.
Gavin said seriously: "We have been together for a while, Anna, what do you think of me?"
"(⊙o⊙)..." The girl priest who was struggling was a little confused by Gavin's sudden question. Her eyes could not help but fall on Gavin's face and look into his eyes.
Anna, who was as shy as a deer, could not be the opponent of the cunning Gavin. The eye contact lasted only a few seconds. The girl priest's eyes immediately avoided in panic, and her round little face immediately became red, like a ripe big apple.
