Chapter 688: Chapter 497: Farewell Dinner for the Teacher_3

Gaven not only entrusted the Stone Stallion Inn to his management, but also the quarry on the other side would be under his control. At that time, the purchase of grain would all be completed at the inn before being distributed there.

Knowing well the operating model of Blackwell, he knew that controlling the grain supply was tantamount to holding the highest power of speech; there wouldn’t be any chance of trouble arising from there.

What great trust this was, what great honor.

For this reason, he had donned the human clothes he had meticulously prepared for a long time. Although it felt a bit awkward, he sensed that he had been elevated, taking him a step closer to the Lord.

"You’re leaving the inn to a Gnoll to manage?" Mother Gao Ser looked at Gaven, who was preparing the bartending equipment, with a face full of surprise, while she didn’t forget to explain to Gos, "I don’t mean to discriminate, but your race really doesn’t have an advantage, and it will turn many customers away."

Gaven laughed and said, "Anyone who has the courage to stay at this inn, would they really care whether its manager is a human or a Gnoll? Let’s operate like this for now, and we’ll adjust if necessary in the future."

The main reason was that he had no one he could trust to manage the inn. After all, the Magic Cottage of The Weeping Witch was hidden beneath it, and he had to stay there several nights each month; it had to be someone he trusted one hundred percent.

Neither could he allow Anna to stay here permanently, placing a Transcendent Priest here would be a tremendous waste.

"That makes sense." Mother Gao Ser couldn’t help but nod in agreement, "Even if you dealt with The Weeping Witch, the bad reputation here won’t be soothed in the short term, and the occupancy rate definitely won’t be very high."

After establishing a good relationship with Philancy, Gaven came to a consensus: they should absolutely not resort to using mysterious or supernatural means in the inn; doing so would only attract unnecessary attention and prying. They should gradually downplay the whole thing.

The two female corpses that were dug out from the secret dungeon beneath the inn turned out to be useful.

They made a big show of taking them out, allowed Anna to conduct a holy purification ritual there, and finally Gaven cast a sixth-level Holy Dwelling Spell on the inn, filling it inside and out with holy power.

Then they announced to the public that The Weeping Witch had been expelled and purified by them.

Of course, this was just Gaven’s unilateral public declaration, and most of the outside world was skeptical.

There were too many questions that could be raised about it, the timeline did not match up, and it seemed all too convenient; was this simply a marketing tactic fabricated by Gaven to eliminate negative impacts for the reopening of the inn?

Gaven and his team did not bother to argue, adopting an attitude of letting the facts speak for themselves.

In any case, since then, the cries and phantoms of The Weeping Witch had completely vanished from the inn.

In due course, even those who had not believed would have to believe.

"And I trust in the lady’s abilities. Once we get the chain of inns up and running, just this project alone will bring in enough guests to keep this place busy," said Gaven, and his words were not mere flattery.

In just a few days, Mother Gao Ser had already traveled up and down Longroad once, gathering a dozen suitable industry materials, ready to pick the best of the best to start planning and constructing the chain of inns, which would be one of the main topics of discussion for the day.

"So this was your plan from the start." Mother Gao Ser had a moment of realization and gave Gaven a thumbs up, "Your way of making money is indeed ingenious, commanding admiration. But as for this thank-you banquet, inviting Father Krewen would have been enough, why drag me into it as well?"

"Though we don’t have the name of master and disciple, your support during this period has been nearly akin to that of a teacher," Gaven said with a serious and solemn expression, "I have successfully completed my mission here, and in the short term, I will not be staying long at this place again; however, our friendship will not end because of this. The businesses I have here will also need both of you to look after them diligently."

"Don’t make it so serious; it’s making me a bit uncomfortable. It’s not that we’ll be looking after your property for you, we’re going to be making a fortune following behind you!" Mother Gao Ser seemed a bit uneasy with Gaven’s seriousness, changing the subject, "I’ve selected the properties. Many of the situations are similar to the Stone Stallion Inn, either haunted or severely damaged but still worth repairing. Many hauntings are just rumors, not to be taken seriously. I can handle dealings with people. For the renovation work, I’ll leave it to you."

"Aside from taking Anna with me, I’ll leave the whole Gnoll Construction Crew behind under Kunte’s charge. Apart from the efficiency of magical repairs, which will be half of what it was under Anna’s leadership, the other impacts will not be significant. If there’s still not enough manpower, I can consider reallocating from my territory. At that point, you will be in charge of their deployment. They will only be responsible for the renovation work. The logistics and supplies will need someone from your end to take charge," Gaven already had the entire arrangement thought through.

The Gnoll Construction Crew led by Anna, specializing in their work and composed entirely of Gnolls, was his ideal construction team.

The construction process would also be their growth process. The more inns they repaired, the bigger the impact they would create, and the faster their Professional Level would rise, and consequently, their repair speed would also increase.

This was fully demonstrated in Anna’s case; being a Level 10 Transcendent, she could replace an entire team composed of more than twenty Gnolls with Dragon Blood Kobold Sorcerers at Level 3 and 4.

What if a team of twenty Dragon Blood Kobold Sorcerers all advanced to Transcendent Levels?

Once split and supplemented with numerous lower-level Gnoll Sorcerers, they would become twenty Gnoll Construction Crews.

All these amounted to invisible benefits.

"No problem," Mother Gao Ser agreed promptly.

This was a cooperative mode coordinated between the two from the beginning.

Gaven provided repair techniques and capital; Mother Gao Ser provided management personnel and connections, sharing the profits equally.
