I am a god in another world

"Look, sir, that's the Yewen Forest. After passing here, we will enter the Good Luck Gorge, which is sandwiched between the Dun Hills and the Good Luck Fang Mountains. After passing the Good Luck Gorge, the Black Feather Bridge is not far away." The halfling leader pointed to the large forest on the north bank.

From a distance, you can see the tall outlines of the trees in the forest, and you can tell at a glance that it has a long history.

Gavin had previously intended to go to the Yewen Forest to enlighten some enlightened trees to help him develop the Vizeme Manor, and it would be best if he could enlighten a few tree people.

However, various things were piled up, and he had never been able to find time.

But it was only a matter of time before he came here.

After entering the Good Luck Gorge, except that the scenery on both sides turned into mountains, the water flow did not change significantly.

Because the two mountains were not very close, there were large flat areas on both sides.

As soon as we left the Good Luck Gorge, the number of ships on the Asaba River increased suddenly.

The further down we went, the more ships there were, especially when we arrived near the Black Feather Bridge.

Both sides of the Asaba River are densely packed with various boats.

There are half-man houseboats, flat-land fishing boats, and occasionally a few luxurious yachts. The most numerous ones are the narrow and long keel boats.

Without Gavin asking, Avery took the initiative to explain: "This kind of ship is called the Feather Ship. It is not named because it is produced in Feather Valley, but because it looks like a feather. This kind of ship does not have a large cargo capacity, but it is light and flexible, and it is very fast. It is the most commonly used express ship in Feather Valley.

The people of Feather Valley, although not like us, use ships as their homes, they also combine land and ships. Traveling and selling goods are inseparable from ships.

For the people of Feather Valley, there can be no horses at home, but there must be ships.

The Black Feather Bridge and the surrounding Asaba River have become the largest trade distribution center in Feather Valley.

They either buy products from merchants on Rosaville Road, or sell their products directly to those merchants.

If the lord has goods in the future, he can also sell them here.

But if you want to maximize your profits, you have to organize your own land caravan to go to Odulin, the capital of Sambia."

Gavin nodded, and his attention was mainly focused on the huge Black Feather Stone Bridge.

Even if it is built in a narrow area, the Asaba River is one kilometer wide, and this huge stone bridge spans the entire river. You can imagine how big it is.

Such a cross-river bridge is an unachievable project for ordinary people.

But with the intervention of wizards and magic, it is another matter.

This stone bridge was not built bit by bit, but was shaped overnight using the legendary spell - Bridge Shaping.

This magic stone bridge is named after the nickname of the legendary wizard, Black Feather.

Unfortunately, the legendary spell Bridge Shaping was lost with the disappearance of Black Feather Wizard.

According to legend, Black Feather Wizard integrated all his spells, including Bridge Shaping, into the Black Feather Bridge.

Many young wizards came here in the hope of obtaining the inheritance of Black Feather Wizard.

But unfortunately, the legend is still just a legend. At present, no wizard in Faerun has heard of the inheritance of Black Feather Wizard.

The reason why Black Feather Bridge has become famous in a small area in recent years is that the God of Conspiracy, Xirik, killed the Goddess of Tricks and Illusions, Leila, with the God of Disaster Sword.

It's just that the process was too secretive at the time, and most people in the world didn't know this, at least the residents of Feather Valley didn't know this.

But in the eyes of Pastor Xirik, this is a sacred place, and he often comes to visit with a pilgrimage heart.

Therefore, in the future, you must be careful when dealing with people here, because no one knows whether those kind faces are hidden behind the worshippers of the God of Conspiracy with ulterior motives.

Gavin did not get off the boat, but followed the halfling leader to continue downstream and go deep into Feather Valley.

When they got here, they did not sail quickly, but walked and stopped, and went ashore from time to time to visit the manor owners of Feather Valley, trying to buy or exchange cotton from them.

But compared with the smooth sailing at the time, the process of door-to-door purchase was quite unsmooth.

These manor owners were quite polite, but they were very determined to refuse to sell cotton.

A manor owner who had a good relationship with the halfling leader told him the real reason.

Last year, the gods descended.

A group of low-level water gods such as Sekola and Anhe descended on the Falling Star Sea and caused great damage here.

Especially the fierce queen and the goddess of the sea, Amber, ravaged the pirate islands in the inner sea with hurricanes and rainstorms, destroying more than two-thirds of the pirate fleet.

This disaster has become a huge business opportunity in the Feather Valley.

In order to rebuild the fleet and compete for the hegemony of the Falling Star Sea, those pirates frantically purchased warship-related goods.

The high-quality canvas produced in the Feather Valley is naturally the focus of rush purchases. The price is double or even triple that of the past, and it is still in short supply.

How can those farmers still hoard cotton?

All of them are made into canvas and sold.

Including the coarse cotton that just came down this year, all of them are made into inferior canvas, but even so, they are sold at the price of high-quality canvas in previous years.

I believe the situation this autumn will be more tense.

The merchants from Sambia, like wolves smelling blood, had already rushed to the door and signed purchase agreements with every household, including those scattered farmers.

The purpose was self-evident.

That was to monopolize the canvas business and squeeze the maximum profit from those pirates.

It can be said that Gavin and the others came to take advantage of the excitement and returned in defeat.

"I'm sorry, Lord, this is my mistake. I didn't notice the changes in cotton supply and marketing. Not only did I fail to complete the task you entrusted me, but I also made your trip in vain." The halfling leader apologized repeatedly with an apologetic face.

"I don't blame you for this matter. After all, you are just employees, not professional businessmen. It is normal for this kind of news to be delayed. It is quite good that your news has reached this level." Gavin's mood is quite good. Not much affected.

Nine times out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory.

I'm not really Taimora's chosen one, so I can't do everything as I wish.

Even though Gavin said this, Avery still felt a little guilty and proactively suggested: "Otherwise, I will take the time to go to Bow Valley, Deep Forest Valley, Shadow Valley, and Misty Valley. Although there is no cotton there, Lingyu Valley is famous, but it’s not cultivated at all. I don’t believe it. I can’t even buy a boat.”

Gavin shook his head and said: "No need to waste time. As you can think of, those Sambian businessmen have already thought of it. They have probably raided it several times. This matter is over here. I will think of another way." ”

"Okay." Avery looked regretful.

Not only did he regret Gavin's failed business, he also regretted his own.

If they could get through this business, they would be very profitable.

"Although you have done a good job, I think you can do it more professionally, such as setting up fixed settlements in some towns and sending people there to collect relevant employment and business information and communicate with each other.

At that time, you can go to accept employment as needed, and you can even purchase some of the goods along the way. You can earn part of the price difference for goods that are more needed there. Even if the price difference is not much, adding up to a small amount is a kind of subsidy.

If you do it well enough, even information will become a commodity. "

Gavin took the initiative to advise the halfling leader.

This approach is not original to him.

Many large chambers of commerce in Faerûn adopt this approach.

But the best and most professional ones are the Zhentarim. This is how they got their nickname, Dark Intelligence Network.

The halfling leader couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's not that we haven't thought about it, but the problem is a fixed settlement. In the towns of intelligent races, we often become the targets of oppression and exclusion by local evil forces. In the wild, we lack The ability to protect oneself.

Especially after it gets a little better and becomes bigger, other caravans will peek and take advantage of it.

On the contrary, it is not as good as now, a life of peace of mind and freedom. "

"If you want to become bigger and stronger, it's not enough to have an idea, you must have enough power to support it. If you are interested, we have the opportunity to cooperate in this aspect." Gavin nodded clearly.

In a world with weak laws, the law of the jungle of poverty often prevails.

Poverty is the best protection for the disadvantaged. Many powerful beings will ignore you because you are poor.

If once you become rich and do not have enough strength to protect yourself, then sorry, you are just waiting to be carved up and eaten.

Isn't it because of this reason that my Dragon Oak Territory has entered a period of silent development.

Avery smiled and said: "I look forward to this day coming, but if this happens, we will take advantage of the Lord again."

"Allowing you to take advantage of me means that I have enough oil and water, even if I let you take advantage of me, it doesn't matter." Gavin said with a generous smile.

"Lord, you are really thoughtful, haha..."

While they were talking, their ship turned back to Black Feather Bridge.

As Gavin was preparing to land, he said to the halfling leader: "Wait a moment, don't return, just wait for me here. I will be back in as little as three days or as many as five days. I may need your help then." I hire ships to transport people to the land of three rivers."

"Okay." Avery nodded cheerfully.

After landing, Gavin had to take a walk on the Black Feather Bridge.

See if there is a chance to obtain the inheritance of Black Feather Mage, or find some traces of trickery related to the goddess of illusion Leila, and prepare for the next step of searching for her godhead.

As you can imagine, the result was empty-handed.

There are no less than a hundred mages who visit here every year, including many extraordinary mages.

If I am a small first-level mage, and I can see something fishy, ​​then there is something really wrong.

No one can find it, there are only two possibilities.

One is that legends are just legends, and they are based on false assumptions and do not really exist.

The other is that there is a powerful spell protecting this place, and you must have the relevant key to open it. This is a common thing in Faerun.

After sightseeing around, Gavin randomly found a caravan that didn't look like a bad guy and went on the road with him.

The journey was not long. After walking for thirty kilometers along the Rosaville Road, we arrived at Good Luck Village.

This village, backed by the Good Luck Tooth Mountains, is the gateway to the Battle Valley.

Like many villages and towns in the Battle Valley, this village also straddles the Rosaville Road and regards this as the village's main road and trade market.

This village was named after Lathander.

In the year 916 of the Valley Calendar, good forces led by the Lathander Church attacked the Dragon Cult here. Lathander, the Lord of the Dawn, sent an avatar to join the battle, completely defeating the cultists of the Dragon Cult and killing them. Stay out of the valley gate.

To celebrate this victory, the followers of Lashanda built a large Lashanda church here, named Good Luck Church. This village was built on the basis of this church, so it was naturally called Good Luck Village.

On the way here, Gavin was still somewhat worried about a series of problems, such as if Regina broke the appointment or did not arrive, or even if she arrived, where should he go to find her.

After all, there are no mobile phones in this world, so you can make a temporary appointment.

Most of the time, the appointments are very vague, and it is normal to wait for several days.

At least below the extraordinary, this is basically the case.

If you are above the extraordinary, especially the mage, there are many ways. After being able to perform the teleportation, if the other party has a signal beacon on his body, you can directly open the portal to that person.
