Chapter 353: Chapter 293 Rose Tower_1

Darnell hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up, "I have worked with Mr. Gaven twice and have some understanding of his character. I can assure you that he is not a man of evil. I believe that following him, you can obtain relatively fair treatment. I stand by my words, and should any injustice arise in his territory, I will stand on the side of righteousness and justice."

There was another issue you could not neglect, the escaped vampire that may return seeking vengeance. Should it do so, this place would be the first to bear the brunt, although the likelihood is quite slim."

As soon as Darnell finished speaking, the remaining Thacel refugees all knelt down in a flutter.

It wasn’t that Darnell’s reputation had such a profound impact, but rather, it was his last kind reminder.

They had completely forgotten about this possibility.

Without their guardians, they couldn’t even handle a vampire derivative, let alone a powerful vampire.

Seeing this situation, not only did Gaven not smile, but he became even more solemn, "I will not fail the trust you have placed in me today. From now on, we enter the countdown to relocation. You will have three days to prepare the belongings you wish to take with you. I will arrange for ships to transport you to the Three Rivers Region in batches."

Unlike those monster races living in primitive communal patterns, human relocation is a complicated matter.

It has to do with their habit of settling down.

Wherever they go, they treat the place as their home and take care of it accordingly.

The Thacel Refugee Camp was no exception. Although only over four hundred people remained, they had a multitude of pots, pans, and other household items.

The real reason many villagers hesitated was because the harvest season was approaching, and they had quite a bit of grain grown around the refugee camp.

Even if Gaven was extremely wealthy, he wouldn’t simply abandon these crops. Instead, he would leave someone behind to guard them, collectively harvest the grain, and then transport it to the Three Rivers Region.

And the person for that job didn’t necessarily have to be among the Thacel refugees. Gaven already had a better choice in mind—Enlightened Tree.

This would be one of the tasks for Gaven’s return to the Comanso Great Forest shortly afterward.

With the help of several such colossal beings, transporting the Thacel refugees to the Ashaba River would be greatly facilitated.

"I’ve fulfilled the initial pledge, and the one-third profit from Ghost Grape Wine wasn’t taken in vain. If there’s nothing else, I need to make a visit to Aunt Olive’s temple," Regina said as she approached Gaven, having seen him successfully bring all Thacel refugees to his side.

"Not to mention, just the advertising effect alone means I’m making a profit," Gaven sincerely commended. "Miss Regina, you’re naturally fit for this. I’ll undoubtedly need your assistance in the future."

"Okay," Regina said spiritedly. "Just to be clear, I don’t work for free."

She had also gotten a taste of the benefits. What they were doing was their true profession. With just a few spoken words, they could earn a substantial profit. Could there be anything more profitable?

"Of course, it’s all about mutual benefit! However, the profits next time won’t be as substantial as this time, so we’ll have to discuss it when the time comes."

"Sure, Lord Gaven is indeed a straightforward person. It’s a pleasure working with you," she said.

"Miss Regina, you must attend the Ghost Grape Wine auction on the first of next month. Without your hosting, the event would lose much of its luster," Gaven earnestly invited her.

"Absolutely, not only will I attend, but Lord Ilmet will also be there. It’s not just a grand event for Weizemay Manor but also for Battle Valley," Regina hinted.

"Lord Ilmet coming in person? That is the greatest honor for me," Gaven exclaimed, unable to hide his surprise.

Although Lord Ilmet was only the nominal lord of Battle Valley, his influence was not small.

Ever since Gaven arrived in Battle Valley, this lord had been elusive, known only by name, not seen in person.

It was said that he had ventured deep into the Comanso Great Forest to track a group of dark elves.

With his public appearance, Gaven’s ownership of Weizemay Manor would be thoroughly solidified.

"Oh, by the way," Regina remembered something and asked, "I’d like to turn this event into a new biographical opera to be sung. Do you have any objections, sir? Or, are there any details we should avoid?"

After all, this matter involved a demigod’s true body. Its spread would bring great reputation to Gaven but also massive negative repercussions, such as the extreme enmity and even vengeance of the Undead Vengeance Goddess.

It might even alarm other evil gods.

Regina had considered this, and clearly, so had Gaven. After a moment’s contemplation, he said, "Everything else is insignificant, but we should obscure the matter of this Demigod Ruptured Palm. Don’t mention the demigod’s body; let’s treat it as a special kind of evil artifact capable of absorbing undead divinity."

His feud with the Goddess of Revenge was to the death, and he had no interest in provoking other evil gods, nor could he afford to. If he could avoid it, he would.

"Alright, I know what to do. See you next month," Regina waved her hand, summoned her gryphon mount, and soared into the sky.

"See you next month," Gaven had just sent Regina off when Darnell approached again, accompanied by three apprentices. August would stay in the Land of Sealing while Ceylon would be placed temporarily under his leadership.

Without waiting for Darnell to speak, Gaven took the initiative, "Mr. Darnell, do you have other urgent matters to deal with?"

Darnell shook his head, "Most matters have been handled already. Their current apprenticeship mission has concluded, and they will return to the monastery for further studies."

"If there’s no urgent business, perhaps you could wait a while and board the ship with these refugees to travel to Weizemay. After this return, I need to visit the monastery to exchange the Ghost Grape Wine for some grain," Gaven suggested.

Not only did the Thacel refugees need grain, but the upcoming group of eight hundred gnolls would also require it.

"Alright." Darnell agreed without hesitation.

The trade of grain for Ghost Grape Wine was an agreement between him and Gaven, not with the Monastery of the Hammer of Justice.

Although he was a hundred percent certain that the Monastery wouldn’t reject the deal, accompanying them on the first trip was a safer bet as a concerned party.

After finalizing a series of matters, Gaven took a carriage to make a special trip to Black Feather Bridge, transporting a load of Ghost Grape Wine to the Land of Sealing to fulfill his previous promise to August.

Seeing a whole cart of Ghost Grape Wine, August was clearly stunned for a moment before giving Gaven a thumbs-up, "Brother Gaven, I’m thoroughly impressed by you. You remembered a casual promise and went through all this trouble. It’s a shame you’re not becoming a paladin."

"Mr. Gaven, your praise is too much, not all of this wine is for you. You can’t just freeload at someone else’s place for the next while, part of it is meant as a gift for our Thorn Spirit friends at the Rose Tower. The information they provided us with was of great help," Gaven naturally did not forget to maintain a good relationship with the Thorn Spirits.

These Fae Race creatures were potential residents of the Spring Bud Forest; the Dragon Oak Mother Tree’s movement would rely on them.

Although they had not yet found a way to connect the Dragon Oak Dream Realm to the Material Plane, it did not prevent Gaven from laying the groundwork in advance.

Once the method was found, they could directly recruit people.

August showed genuine admiration, "Young brother, you’ve thought of everything. Let’s go together."

The naming of Fae Race villages is often significantly related to their own specialties or environment.

For example, Nectar Village is famous for its honey.

Floral Speech Village is completely surrounded by blooming flowers.

Grape Village’s home is the vineyards.

And Rose Tower is no different, with the entire village being a large rose cultivation area.

Red, yellow, purple, blue, half red, half yellow, and so on—just the rose varieties alone amount to more than a dozen kinds.

The most extensively planted is a kind of rainbow rose, each petal is a different color—like a dream, unrealistically beautiful, seemingly not of this world, with thick and big stems, straight and covered with rose thorns.

The trademark weapon of the Thorn Spirits, the thorn sword, is cultivated from this type of rainbow rose.

It is said that only the Thorn Spirits have mastered the cultivation techniques of the rainbow rose. Not only humans, but other Fae Races as well, cannot grow this type of rose.

The main body of the village is a tower, an ancient Elf Mage Tower.

This tower wasn’t constructed, but grew from an oak tree—over a hundred meters tall and at least ten meters in diameter, with countless trellises coiling around it, sprouting numerous delicate vine cottages.

Even having seen the more formidable Dragon Oak Mother Tree, standing before such majestic timber still provoked a feeling of insignificance.

In Felen, the oak tree holds special significance for Druids and is known as the sacred tree.

This is closely related to Sylvanus, the Natural God, also called Father of Oak, Father of the Forest, and Father of Trees. His holy emblem is a lush green oak leaf.

That’s why in many of their endeavors, Druids prefer oak trees.

When the ancient Giant Dragons chose to plant an oak tree in their hearts, it was a tribute to Sylvanus, thus increasing the possibility of success.

Rose Tower likely chose the oak tree for the same reason.

This in turn has caused the number of extraordinary oak trees in Felen to proliferate, further enhancing the common belief in their sacredness, leading to more deference and less cutting down of these trees, which in turn breeds even more extraordinary oaks.

It has created a virtuous cycle, solidifying the reputation of the sacred tree.

Upon seeing the Thorn Spirit Leader, Deep, Gaven couldn’t help but ask, "Haven’t you tried to enlighten Rose Tower and turn it into a Treant?"

By now, he was somewhat obsessed with the idea, and his first thought upon seeing a unique tree was whether it could be enlightened into a Treant.

Gaven’s question surprised the Thorn Spirit Leader, who forgot the pleasantries and answered, "Rose Tower did not grow normally; it was created through Heaven Craft, a supreme spell of the Supreme Elf Mages, and it’s already far beyond an ordinary tree. A Legendary Druid once tried to enlighten it, but didn’t succeed."

"Heaven Craft? What kind of spell is that? Can you tell me about it?" Gaven’s curiosity was piqued by the name.

"I’ve only heard of this spell, never seen it. It’s said that once it’s cast, it can grow buildings according to the caster’s will. Many of the constructions in Eternal Gathering Island and Mystorno were made with this spell. Only the Supreme Elf Mages possess the secrets of casting this spell," the Thorn Spirit Leader replied.

"Supreme spells of the Supreme Mages are truly fascinating; I must learn more about them if I get the chance," Gaven couldn’t help but express his wonder.

Supreme Elf Mages are a type of special advanced profession, mastering the exceptional secrets of supreme casting.

In Felen, the most renowned supreme spell is the Dragon Madness Lock, which drove Giant Dragons off the stage of history.

When the Muwang Star descends, all Giant Dragons enter a Berserk State beyond control, destroying everything they encounter, including their own kind, forts, even turning on their metal dragon allies.

With undisguised sorrow on his face, Deep said, "While supreme spells are powerful, they come at the cost of Supreme Mages’ lives. The stronger the spell, the greater the price. It is said that the construction of Rose Tower cost a Supreme Mage several professional levels."
