Chapter 616: 473

"In this world, is there really such a wonderful thing?" Mother Gao Ser’s eyes gleamed as she grabbed Gaven’s hand, "Don’t tell me you have this kind of Magic Serpent Oil? How much? Just name your price!"

No one is indifferent to their appearance, especially women. Beautiful women value it more than their own lives and wealth.

"Uh..." The other party’s excitement made Gaven feel guilty, as if he had inadvertently poked at a sore spot, "Ma’am, I’m sorry, but I’ve only heard of it; I’ve never seen it myself. I will keep an eye out for you in the future."

"Ah... I thought so, how could such precious things be so easily obtained?" Mother Gao Ser showed an unmistakable look of disappointment and implored Gaven with great urgency, "I know you have considerable energy and travel widely. If you ever come across such magical merchandise, you must, you absolutely must purchase it for me, money is not an issue."

"Rest assured, ma’am," Gaven hastily assured her.

Bringing up this topic was purely unintentional.

Seeing how earnest Mother Gao Ser was, Gaven couldn’t help but rapidly search through his knowledge of magic and various magic items in his mind.

There indeed were many means to extend one’s life in Felen, such as turning into a Witch or Vampire and so on, but they usually came with serious side effects.

There were means that could preserve a woman’s beauty and also extend her lifespan.

Not that there weren’t any, but they were few and far between, usually involving extremely powerful spells, costly ones, like the nine-ring Wish Spell.

Let alone how difficult it is to find a Mage or Magician who knows such magic, even if one were found, it is another matter whether they would be willing to cast it for you.

The cost of this spell is quite steep, as it consumes at least five thousand Experience Value each time it’s cast, and it’s the caster’s own Experience Value that’s consumed.

How could those Quasi-Legendary and Legendary Mages possibly compromise their Professional Level foundations for the sake of a woman’s beauty?

The area of magic items and Magic Potions that help ladies maintain their appearance is quite a blank market.

That’s why, upon hearing that Ghost Grape Wine had the effects of beautifying and nourishing the complexion, those ladies swarmed to it.

Someone like Mother Gao Ser, who holds a not insignificant Professional Level, is already worrying over this matter, not to mention the high society ladies in the City of Brilliance, among whom many are ordinary people.

The male Barons and nobles typically possess powerful Professional Levels, but such is not necessary for those high society women. All they need is sufficient beauty, which is their greatest weapon. They are willing to pay a hefty price to maintain it.

Targeting the City of Brilliance market in the future, this could be a potent direction. When there’s time, I should integrate the resources at my disposal and see if I can develop related products, particularly those with the functions similar to Ghost Grape Wine.

If I could concoct a unique cocktail that turns back the years, I reckon my status in the eyes of those women would soar to equal that of the gods. At that time, I wouldn’t be just the Lady’s Companion; I would be the goddess of women.

"Who would have thought your efficiency to be so high? Following this pace, you could be done in less than ten days?" Mother Gao Ser turned and gauged the morning’s achievements of Gaven and his team.

"How could it possibly be that quick?" Gaven shook his head, "We’ve started with the simplest, most intact part first. After going over it for the first time, the second round will be the most troublesome; we have to put together the broken pieces like a puzzle, try to repair them, and then go through a final round to check for deficiencies. I estimate by that time, we’ll need to buy new bricks and stones for repairs. It will take at least a month to complete these three rounds."

There was nothing to hide about the construction process, so Gaven reported it truthfully.

The first round is mainly using the Perfect Restoration Technique.

The second round will be labor-driven, supplemented by the Perfect Restoration Technique and the Stone Shaping Spell.

The third round will mainly rely on the Stone Shaping Spell, supported by manual labor.

"A month is still quite remarkable. If we were to rebuild this small fortress-like grand hotel with ordinary methods, it would take two or three years at the least," Mother Gao Ser couldn’t help but remark, "I must say, the efficiency of your Builder Team is truly startling. How do you plan to solve the doors, windows, and furniture problem? Do you need me to help smooth things over with Parost? He’s the only carpenter in the village and, although his temperament is not very likable, his goods are generally great value for their price."

"That won’t be necessary," Gaven declined with a smile, "Among the Builder Team arriving today, there’ll be three Pikespirit Druids and five Sodalite Treants. They are born carpenters, and what I will need then is a large supply of ready-made timber."

"Pikespirit Druids? Sodalite Treants?" Mother Gao Ser’s beautiful eyes widened in amazement as she sized up Gaven, as if seeing him anew, "I can understand having Gnolls as subordinates, but these natural races are not easy to meet under normal circumstances. How did you manage to get them to work for you?"

For ordinary people, encountering these forest races is a very difficult feat, let alone hiring and commanding them in large numbers.

"I once had the fortune of helping them resolve some minor crises, so sometimes, they are willing to assist me in alleviating some troubles," Gaven said, glossing over the details, as the full explanation would not be covered in just a sentence or two.
