Mist barrier and maze lock barrier. The two are of the same origin, but there are still differences. Mist barrier is a ritual spell that has a duration and weakens over time. It is just that compared with ordinary spells, it lasts longer. The simplest seven-ring mist barrier lasts for three years. The maze lock barrier is a permanent version of the mist barrier. The same version is stronger than the latter, but the cost is much higher, at least ten times the latter. The cost price of the seventh-level mist barrier is about 30,000, including the cost of hiring a mage. The cost price of the seventh-level maze lock barrier is between 250,000 and 300,000. The reason why the cost price has soared so much is not only because of the increase in consumables required, but also the surge in the cost of hiring a mage. To cast the mist barrier, you only need to have enough materials and then take up a few days of the hired mage. The maze lock barrier is different. Not only does it take up a lot of the hired mage's time, but it also needs to extract a lot of experience points from him, which will delay the mage's professional level upgrade. Many times, even if you have money, you can't hire a wizard who is willing to sell experience points, especially a high-level wizard, because they need experience points in too many places. Many powerful spells need the support of experience points, especially permanent spells. The higher the level, the more experience points they consume.
"It's really possible. Let's go back and take a look." Gavin didn't think about this before. Now he thinks back that after opening the milestone of destiny, the fog barrier of Vizeme Manor has indeed changed a lot. The most important thing is that in his sea of consciousness, the phantom of Vizeme Manor did not have any explanation about this, especially the duration of the fog barrier. This time it was Gavin's turn to return impatiently. Vizeme Manor could not be entered, so he could only open the portal to the gate of the manor. Because there was a close connection between Gavin and the manor, even if Virginia had never been to the manor, he could still achieve 100% teleportation positioning and appear directly at the gate without any deviation. "Lord." "Master." When Gavin returned to the gate of Vizeme Manor, there were already a bunch of people waiting there. It was the tree knight Broken Thorn and the dog demon Andrew. But the dog demon did not come back alone. There were more than a dozen wolves following him. They were not brought from the rock land, but were summoned from the surrounding areas of the battle valley. Whenever the dog demon arrived at a new place, it was a common practice for him to summon the surrounding wild wolves for his use. This time was no exception. Compared with the rock land, he was more picky this time and only recruited those with the largest size and the strongest combat power. This was done, of course, to facilitate lurking and not attract too much attention. Gavin had not yet opened up the right of entry and exit for them, so they were naturally blocked outside the door, including Virginia, and their soul marks were directly left, giving them the right to freely enter and exit the Vizeme Manor. Seeing the strange tree man and the high-level devil being respectful to Gavin, Esteler and her daughter hiding in the manor couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. These powerful beings suddenly gathered outside the manor, which really scared them. They were afraid that they would attack the manor without any reason, especially the strange tree man, who was so huge and the super-large battle axe in his hand was even more terrifying. It was taller than the wall of the manor. It was not a battle axe, but a battering ram. They were not afraid of being attacked, but they were afraid that the manor would be damaged. Fortunately, Heather came after hearing the news and discerned from the breath that Broken Thorn and he were from the same source, and they were both enlightened by the same person.
The greater the previous shock, the greater the surprise now. With such an existence, the safety factor of the manor is rising. Estel said respectfully: "Welcome back, Master." Although Amanda behind her did not speak, she also followed with a clumsy maid's salute. Although Gavin repeatedly emphasized to her that she still enjoyed the treatment of the master in Vizeme Manor. But she was stubborn and determined to be a maid in Vizeme Manor. Her idea was very simple. Only by making herself valuable to Gavin and the manor, they could have a place to stay and gain a foothold here. They were still wearing the maid outfits they found yesterday, but they were very fitting. It was obvious that they had been cut and modified overnight. She had good skills in this area, and the stitches were even finer and more even than before. "Sorry, I left in a hurry before and forgot to tell you that I had subordinates rushing here. Come, let me introduce you to each other. This is Lord Virginia... This..." Just introducing each other took Gavin a lot of saliva. Thinking about it carefully, few of his current subordinates were of normal origin and race. The same was true for the two new ones this time. "Broken Thorn, the Touch of Pain will be given to Black Heather in the future." Gavin issued a new order to the Tree Knight. "Yes, sir." Broken Thorn untied the Touch of Pain from the main pole without hesitation and handed it to the new Tree Man colleague. This weapon was dispensable to him. It was given to him to use because there was no more suitable user in the entire Dragon Oak Territory. Black Heather took the oversized whip and swung it in the air, making snapping sounds. With the length of his arms and the length of the whip, his attack range reached ten meters, which not only made up for his close combat ability, but also gave him mid-range attack power. "Broken Thorn, you will take root at the gate from now on. Unless there are special circumstances in the future, the flag will be opened. Black Heather will take root in the front hall from now on." Gavin arranged a defensive position for the two tree men. "Yes." The two tree men responded at the same time and took their positions. A few meters inside the manor, a broken thorn has taken root again, just like a thick tree flag. The gorgeous gibron oak collar flag flutters in the wind. The three paintings on it are vivid, as if they are coming to life. It can be clearly seen from kilometers away. On the mainland side of the Dragon Oak Territory, no flag has yet been raised, but the newly developed manor territory has been raised first. Gavin turned to the dog demon and ordered: "Recruit more wild wolf subordinates and follow me to clean up the beasts in the vineyard tomorrow." The abandoned vineyards of Vizeme Manor have become the home of those wild creatures. In particular, wild boars, hares and voles are overrun. Standing on the ground and shouting, a group of them can be frightened. The grapes will be ripe soon, but we can't let them cause harm here. "As ordered." The dog demon howled excitedly, and hurriedly left with his warg subordinates. The howling sounds of wolves suddenly came from all around. While vineyards attract and breed a large number of wild animals, they also naturally attract various hunters, and wild wolves are one of them. Gathering dozens of wild wolves in one night is as simple as drinking cold water.
"Did you do all this?" Gavin asked Estaire and his daughter, looking at the empty courtyard in the manor, which was originally filled with weeds half as tall as a person. "Yeah." Estelle couldn't hide the joy on his face, "The ability to absorb life is not only useful for living things, but also for plants. It is very efficient in weeding, very thorough, not only on the surface, but also on plants. Even the roots of grass have turned into dust and will no longer breed.” "I have an idea, and I'll leave the weeds in other places to you." Gavin couldn't help but give Estelle a thumbs-up sign. Fortunately, she could think of using a cruel necromancy spell as a weeding spell. . Then again, no one stipulates that magic skills cannot be used in this way. "Thank you for the compliment, Master. This is what we should do." Astaire responded hurriedly. "From now on, the ten of them will be handed over to your command." Gavin pointed at the ten strong kobolds behind him and said, "They all have magic-like ability repair skills, and eight of them have ordinary repair skills. Every day It can be used three times, and two of them have complete repair skills, which can be used once a day." These ten high-level dragon-blooded kobolds are the first batch of reinforcements brought by Gavin. "Repair technique?! Complete restoration technique?!" Upon hearing this, Astaire's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and the way he looked at the ten kobolds was suddenly different, as if he were looking at a treasure. Restoration is a non-circular magic trick, but for ordinary people, it is very practical. A lame chair, a broken pickaxe, a cracked flowerpot, etc., these small injuries and marks on non-magical items only need to be repaired. One repair technique can complete the repair. The Complete Repair Technique is an upgraded version of the Repair Technique. It is a second-level spell and its ability is even more powerful. Just like the previously rusted and stuck wine cellar secret door, a complete restoration can not only restore it to normal, but also all traces of corrosion and decay over time will disappear, just like it was just built. Those rotten wine barrels that are on the verge of being scrapped are also a matter of complete restoration. Twenty-four repairs and two complete repairs were carried out every day. Estelle was confident that the Vizeme Manor would look brand new in just a few days. "In addition, they are also excellent miners. They are very good at digging ditches and caves. You assign them every day and let them use up all their magic-like abilities to build wine cellars. When I am free, , and then allocate a piece of land for them to dig a living cave. Before that, let them temporarily live on the first floor of the main building." Gavin added. These ten kobolds will be the permanent staff at Vizeme Manor. As various trades in the manor unfold, their repair functions will be used frequently. "Okay, leave it to me." Estelle is more concerned about the maintenance of Wezeme Manor than Gavin. This is not only their home, but also the place where their lives are maintained. The more prosperous it is, the more important it is for them. Life becomes more vigorous. This kind of knowledge is automatically instilled into their consciousness the moment they become Earthbound Spirits. After arranging everything, Gavin walked towards Lord Virginia. She did not return immediately, but circled around the Vizeme Manor. From time to time, she would stop and put her hand on the wall, followed by a green magic light. Flash, corresponding magical aura will appear on the wall, and each mysterious magic rune will be clearly visible under the magical aura. Lord Virginia is exploring the enchantment of the Vizeme Manor. It is not just as simple as distinguishing the mist enchantment or the mystery lock enchantment. She also wants to reversely deduce the mist enchantment and even the construction method of the mystery lock enchantment. If it has its own Mystery Barrier, the Dragon Oak War Tree will be even more powerful, and its defense capabilities will be greatly improved. "How about it?" "It's the Mist Barrier." Virginia said with a certain tone. Although she didn't know the Mist Barrier and the Mystery Barrier, it didn't prevent her from making corresponding judgments. "Great." Although he had guessed this result, Gavin still couldn't hide his excitement, "What about teleportation? Teleport from inside to outside, can you do it?" The reason for asking this question is that Gavin had previously used the Dragon Oak Mother Tree's error-free teleportation spell directly in the manor, and it was not affected. In view of his special relationship with the manor, this matter cannot be used as a reference. If it can only prevent entry but not exit, the effect will be greatly reduced. "I have tried it just now, and all teleportation spells are invalid, including the fairy step. This manor has become a world of its own." Virginia obviously thought of the same problem a long time ago.
"Hehe..." Gavin's eyes kept flickering, and he couldn't help but laugh maliciously when he thought of the excitement. Virginia was frightened by Gavin's laughter and couldn't help asking: "What bad idea are you coming up with again." "Don't you think this manor looks like a thing?" "What thing?" "If a fool comes here to assassinate me, what do you think the result will be?" The smile on Gavin's face was as obscene as it could be.
