People who meet for the first time are usually in a middle ground of unfamiliar indifference, with neither goodwill nor malice. As time goes by, depending on your words and deeds, your actions will start to diversify, becoming either positive, negative, or feelings might not change at all.The place where Gaven is held in the highest regard is undoubtedly Nectar Village, even surpassing the Gnolls from Dragon Oak Territory. This is because of a high starting point, a Milestone of Destiny that swiftly elevated him to a state of reverence, locking it in place forcefully.
No matter what reckless things Gaven did, even if he pushed past their limits of tolerance, his attitude wouldnât change. But do not expect any further improvement.
Of course, Gaven wasnât foolish to that extent. Although he employed Pikespirit later, he tried as much as possible not to cross their lines, or he adopted roundabout ways, fully utilizing their characteristics to motivate them.
As a result, his reputation in Nectar Village had been growing slowly and steadily. Even if it hadnât reached reverence, it had certainly peaked at the highest level of respect.
Gavenâs reputation in Anfield Village had just managed to reach Friendlyâearly stage with Krewen, and the end of Mother Gao Serâs friendly phase, almost touching on the verge of Cordial.
This was just Gavenâs personal estimate, as he hadnât yet heard of any magic or tool that could directly measure othersâ feelings towards oneself.
Gaven had a specific purpose in developing the cocktail called Aftertaste.
He wanted to take full advantage of Philancyâs absolutely solitary confinement life to strike when she was vulnerable. The five cups of Aftertaste would make her repeatedly recall the feelings during their five days together, not growing faint from a month of separation, but actually intensifying.
But once he concocted this cocktail, he found it was even more suitable as a vessel for the Special Ability "Wine for Friendship" than the Heart-Viewing.
"Wine for Friendship" followed the profound truth of life: respond to sincerity with sincerity. Aftertaste interpreted this to an extreme.
The amount of sincere emotions Gaven poured in, was the amount of response he would get. á´his chapter is á´pdated by Nová´lFirá´.É´et
After a cup of Aftertaste, whether it was the highly reserved Krewen or Mother Gao Ser who seemed not to take anything to heart, they couldnât help but tear up.
Because the emotions infused within directly touched the softest spot in their hearts.
By the time they came back to their senses from the emotional impact, Gaven was nowhere to be seen.
Unable to help herself, Mother Gao Ser asked Gos, who was sobbing uncontrollably next to her, "Where is your Lord?"
"The Lord... The Lord has left... He said, he said what he wanted to say is already in the wine... Thereâs no need for a personal goodbye... It only brings needless sadness, and besides, itâs not a farewell to death. He will come back anytime, and if you miss him, just let him know, and youâre also welcome to visit our territory," Gos managed to say clearly, despite the sobs.
As for why Gos was crying, it was obvious without asking.
He too was tightly holding a cup, as Gaven had evidently made him a cocktail of Aftertaste as well.
After all, "Wine for Friendship" could be used three times a day, and the Transcendent State could only be entered once. It would be a waste not to use it.
And the hierarchical relationship between him and Gos meant that Gavenâs feelings would be magnified tenfold for Gos.
Gaven only had to recall their acquaintance process and the events that had happened, and add a bit of care and concern for Gos.
This alone was enough to make Gos overwhelmed with gratitude, and his feelings for Gaven reached the ultimate peak of reverence, so much so that he would not hesitate to die for him.
"Such a considerate child, how can anyone not like him?" Krewen sighed softly, "He must be afraid that we will act improperly after drinking and feel embarrassed to face us."
If one has deep feelings for someone, they would involuntarily help that person and make excuses to beautify their actions.
Gavenâs departure without saying goodbye now became an undeniable advantage.
Whether he thought that way was not important.
The key was that Krewen thought so, and after his explanation, Mother Gao Ser also came to think that way, nodding involuntarily, "It seems that we were right in helping him from the start. In this world, such pure and good young people are indeed rare. After tasting the aftertaste, I know my feelings were not in vain. How much of your skill is in this cocktail?"
"Girl, are you joking with me?" Krewen glanced at Mother Gao Ser with annoyance, "This cocktail is far beyond my abilities. I could never mix such a drink in my lifetime. The state he was in when mixing the drink, you saw it too, that was a Transcendent State; this is a Transcendent cocktail. If youâre not in that state, even he canât make it."
As a top bartender, Krewen had a very sharp eye and immediately spotted the secret behind the aftertaste of the cocktail.
Just mentioning Gavenâs previous state made Mother Gao Ser fall silent as well.
A Transcendent State was something they could only look up to in their lifetime.
They had only heard of it before but had never seen it.
And even if they had, it mostly appeared among those Transcendent or Legendary races, not a human.
This incident, to some extent, shattered their understanding and left them stunned speechless, further catalyzing the effect of the aftertaste cocktail.
A person not even half her age had become someone she needed to look up to; maybe it wouldnât be long before he grew into one of those legendary figures talked about in stories.
This realization set Mother Gao Serâs heart aflame once more; they already had a solid emotional foundation and a collaborative project.
If originally Mother Gao Ser was only prepared to invest significant effort into this collaborative project,
She was now ready to invest everything into it, even putting the foundational Joy Hall behind everything else.
With her thoughts clear, Mother Gao Ser couldnât help but temptingly say, "Old man, we are about to start a brand-new hotel model, which, if successful, will be an unprecedented big business. Do you want in on it too?"
She was well aware of how extensive Krewenâs social connections were in the City of Brilliance, where even many of those secretive lords had close relations with him. Having him join would make many things much easier.
Krewen shook his head, "Donât count on me, I have many friends, but I also have many enemies. Joining rashly may not be a good thing for you. However, you can appropriately take under your wing the girls from my bar. In the past, they might have stayed put obediently, but now their horizons have been broadened by Gaven, and once opened, itâs hard for them to settle their hearts."
After thinking it over, he suggested, "Since youâre planning to open a hotel, my bartending and throwing knife skills might be of some use. If your girls are willing to learn, they are all welcome at my place"
"Good." Mother Gao Ser naturally wouldnât refuse the goodwill of a Quasi-Legendary Warrior.
The prolonged effect of the aftertaste cocktail required the tasters to slowly savor it afterwards.
The one who had caused this effect, Gaven, had already been thousands of miles away, officially initiating the plan that had been brewing for two monthsâthe Great Migration.
