three is not too many, nor too few—just right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Aftertaste cocktail was precisely what Gaven would concoct each day after sending Philancy away, using his abilities—one glass per day, no more, no less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philancy accepted the wine box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clearly not heavy, yet it felt heavier than a thousand gold, and she sighed, “You’re always considering my needs, while I’ve done nothing for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher, please don’t say that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the knowledge you’ve imparted to me, these little things are truly nothing.” Gaven had essentially figured out Philancy’s character over the past few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was purer than most of the legendary professionals he knew, somewhat like a scholarly theorist bursting with all sorts of theoretical knowledge but most of it unapplied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person who hasn’t been driven mad by solitude or embarks on a killing spree at random must essentially be kind-hearted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such people remember kindness; a little good done to them is often repaid tenfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you are wholeheartedly good to them, they usually respond with the same level of commitment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll accept it,” said Philancy, who simply looked deeply at Gaven, saying no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven, however, called after her fading silhouette, “Teacher, just remember, from now on, you may be alone, but your heart is not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll be here waiting for your return.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not finished speaking when Philancy’s figure vanished completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether she heard his words was unknown, what reaction they’d inspire, even less clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven chose not to overthink it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had done everything he could; the rest he left to time—to ferment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you’re surrounded by solitude and your own shadows are everywhere, it’s hard not to grow deeply contemplative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing one last time at the underground chamber where he’d stayed for five days, Gaven closed the stone door, concealing it once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought about casting a Sealing magic on it, but then he realized, wasn’t that like clearly marking where one’s wealth lay hidden?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A place that no one noticed, could otherwise invite unwanted attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped back inside, retrieving five standard chests of Gold Coins and hiding them beneath the luxurious large bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he firmly shut the door and leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these fifty thousand Gold Coins, he could divert most petty thieves’ attention, stopping them from causing unnecessary trouble here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A more powerful entity either wouldn’t target this place at all, or, once it did, would not be hindered by his magic or dazzled by the Gold Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the time came, it would be up to Philancy’s own arrangements to hold up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chances of that happening were slim because, after all, this place had lain idle for three years before he took residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any interested party would have come earlier, not waited until after he moved in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven only needed to ensure that his enemies did not set their sights on this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he emerged from the underground chamber, Gaven was cornered by the owners of the Anfield Village horse farms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mage Anbala of the Roinhein Clan smiled and said, “Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven, you really are a busy man; it’s not easy to get an audience with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the warhorses, we’ve pretty much got everything in order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I heard that Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven is a Dragon Slayer with powerful shooting weapons and that Miss Luna can transform into a Pegasus with ultra-fast flying ability…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven didn’t let him finish, but interrupted directly, “If you want me to help you get rid of the Swift Roc, that’s fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Name your price!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his main goal in Anfield Village was accomplished, he no longer had the initial enthusiasm to haggle in detail with these horse farm owners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wished to complete the transaction more swiftly to advance other matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven is indeed a forthright man,” Mage Anbala said with a smile, “So we’ll be straightforward too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After our joint discussion, we believe that your suggested underground bidding could hurt the feelings among us, the Horse Farm Owners of Anfield Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ours is not a one-off deal, and besides, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven, your orders are so large that they could consume the entire village’s supply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We think we shouldn’t deal in such empty forms, but instead should sign a long-term purchase agreement directly with Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven, under the name of the Anfield Riding Club Association.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Horse Farm Owners of Anfield Village were also hardened by the battleground of the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were not easily swayed by others, especially after the initial excitement wore off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the two largest horse farms’ operators brokering, they decided to join forces, to cooperate with Gaven as a collective, ready to share the profits and the risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven nodded, not agreeing or disagreeing, just an expression of listening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mage Anbala continued, “We are willing to sell our warhorses to the Lord at the City of Brilliance’s market price!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that price, Gaven’s brows involuntarily twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price was excessive, treating him like a sucker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was making a purchase at their doorstep, and yet to be charged the same as in the City of Brilliance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What were all his efforts for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might as well go directly to the Waterdeep City horse market where ready stock was plentiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t have seen all the investments he made here and planned to fleece him together, could they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were seasoned businessmen; they surely wouldn’t do something so foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Gaven did not immediately lose his temper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he gazed intently at Mage Anbala, waiting quietly for him to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Internally, Mage Anbala commended the young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly was exceptional, at least in terms of mental fortitude, not something ordinary people could match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he added, “Moreover, we are willing to accept Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven’s Ghost Grape Wine at the current City of Brilliance market price as a means of payment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The payment could be deferred until your new batch of Ghost Grape Wine is ready, with the horses still for Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven to collect himself, and the Ghost Grape Wine to be picked up by us from your territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How does Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven feel about this deal?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1059,"2026-06-06T12:33:37.292Z",1,"novelbin.me","8e9a2e164d70ff4a535671e52ae223fed4279dcbbb6f1a770d1551bcd4e35811","farming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-chapter-661","farming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-chapter-659",2384,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffarming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-cover.jpg"]
