Chapter 88: The Poor Lord
My name is Gervais, and I am the second son of a baron, and although I live the life of an aristocracy, to be honest, I have no direction for my future, but I don't panic at all.
Today, my father took me and my eldest brother to a banquet hosted by the earl whom he had heard of, and the variety of delicacies at the banquet was an eye-opener for me, a veteran foodie.
Oh, by the way, the reason I'm so calm is because I have a mission system, although so far I have only been given one mission to come to the dinner party......
But I believe that people with gold fingers will not have too bad luck!
Originally, I thought that the earl to whom my father was loyal would be a middle-aged greasy aristocrat with gray hair and a big belly, but on the way, I heard from my father that this earl was actually a young and beautiful countess.
And since this party was a noble ball held by the countess in order to choose a husband for herself, this count is said to be a cultivation genius, and he is not even a star and a half.
If anyone becomes her husband, when the countess is in a bad mood, it is estimated that she will be drawn a dozen and collapse, and there is really no place to cry.
And during the banquet, Gervais heard the noble ladies next to him discussing, this countess seems to have a lover in the imperial city?
So what's the point of her having this ball? she had a fight with her fiancé and then got married with a vengeance?
Although I don't know what the real reason is, but she chooses her fiancé from the descendants of her courtiers, who can guarantee that she will not be disconnected from her lover and her colorful hats will fly around?
But what Gervais never expected was that the person who finally became the count's husband was actually himself, the second son of the baron.
But my father smiled when he heard the news, because I had been given the title of baron.
You must know that originally he could only be given the title of one lord by his eldest brother, but now he can actually have two nobles in one family, so that his father is arrogant among many nobles.
Gervais experienced a flash wedding for a while, and before the dinner was over, he was married to the Earl...... Then after assigning himself a barony, he was driven out of the castle......
Gervais felt a little messy standing at the gate of the castle, wasn't that a bit fast? I just said under my father's threatening gaze that I would like to be done?
Fortunately, my countess was not cold-blooded, and gave me a carriage and a manservant, and did not let me take the 11th to her territory.
Gervais plans to go back to his father's territory for one night first, and learn about the basic situation of his territory by the way.
But what Gervais never expected was that his territory looked very large, and the area even exceeded half of the viscounty.
But the danger is also proportional, with the Dark Forest in the background, and the edge of the continent, facing the threat of pirates.
The most important thing is that every year, there will be many orcs who appear out of thin air to burn and loot in the territory, I heard that the previous baron died because of this, and his barony was so cheapened by himself.
Can...... Is this really cheap?
The next day, after Gervais arrived at his territory, he almost didn't get angry, isn't this territory a little too poor......
And because this territory has not been managed by nobles for a long time, not only are the serfs not well fed and clothed, but the guards of the castle also occupy the magpie's nest, which really gives them face.
But to be honest, Gervais was still a little scared of them, because his knight cultivation talent was not high, and he didn't know if he could beat them.
Fortunately, the leader of the last group of guards saw Gervais and fled on his own, so that he did not have to fight unnecessarily.
But the rest of the day was not easy, because the territory was really too poor, and the serfs knew that no matter how much they planted, they would be plundered by their acquaintances on time and on time.
In the face of the orcs who are powerless on their own, they generally choose to plant just the right amount of food, so that Gervais's territory has no extra output.
originally thought that this would be difficult enough, but what Gervais never expected was that his countess was actually going to have a birthday, and he, as the count's husband, was bound to come out with that little gift.
And this gift must have to save face, otherwise the countess will probably feel that she is humiliating him, and the color hat may come sooner at that time.
Gervais searched his territory, hoping to get some gains, but according to Murphy's Law, it was all Gervais's delusion.
Just when he was a little angry and his mouth was full of foam, a mechanical voice came into his ears:
"If you detect a strong demand from a buyer, enter the chat room after three minutes. ”
At this time, Rolf, who was lying on the hospital bed bored and recuperating from his injuries, looked at Harry who was sleeping on the side, feeling too bored, and just as the cooldown of the transaction was over, he clicked the button to start trading boredly.
Poor lord?So what am I trading with him?Even the system thinks he's poor, and it's hard for Rolf to imagine what he can get out of him......
It didn't take long for Rolf's figure in a hospital gown to appear in front of Gervais, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned when he looked at the somewhat sickly pale and somewhat restrained face in front of him.
Just now, I thought that God was treating me well, so I couldn't help but give myself the system and another golden finger.
But looking at this little turnip head in front of him, it was hard for Gervais to imagine what he could gain from him......
"Hello, nice to meet you, is there anything we can do to help you?" Rolf greeted.
"Emm......" Gervais was a little confused, wondering if the boy could help him?
"I would like to give my wife a birthday present, she is an earl, so it must not only be valuable, but also highlight her status......"
Looking at the somewhat hesitant figure on the screen, Rolf chuckled, Ignorant son of the plane, you are still too young!
It was not an easy request for Rolf, and when he made it, he thought of a product that would be perfect for him.
"Of course no problem, I have one item that you will surely be happy with, and that is a magical beast that not only has a shell full of natural gems, but is also capable of releasing flames......"
Before Rolf could finish his sentence, Gervais interrupted excitedly: "Really, that's great, it's perfect for me!"
In the world of Gervais, it is rare to see a magical beast that can release supernatural powers, because their strength is extremely strong, and it is difficult for half of the nobles to conquer such a magical beast.
Moreover, when the knights of this world are cultivating, they all like to take Warcraft meat to assist in cultivation, so the price of Warcraft has been speculated to a sky-high price.
"But what can you bring me?" Rolf was not angry at the interruption of his own words, but continued to smirk mildly.
