Chapter 8: The Efficacy of the Golden Fruit
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Gervais! Has Gervais washed up? Hurry up and come out! ”
"Huh? How did I fall asleep! Gervais was woken up in his sleep by a loud knock on the door, and his mind, which was not yet fully awake, was a little puzzled that he had fallen asleep in the bath.
He rubbed his temples, and after a few moments, Gervais was fully conscious.
Without asking, Gervais knew who was knocking on the door.
In this castle, the only one who knocked on his door so hard and shouted so loudly was his arrogant sister.
Bonita Gale, the third daughter of Baron Gandalf.
Bonita is 15 years old this year, only two years younger than Gervais, but she is very talented in cultivation, stronger than Gervais and Dries, and can usually easily beat Gervais.
Bonita has always been hostile to Gervais, who is the second in line, and even if he cannot inherit the baronial title, he can be made a lord by Gandalf.
Baron Gandalf has also expressed this willingness on several occasions, as long as one day Gervais can break through the apprentice knight and become a bronze knight, then Gervais can immediately obtain the title of lord, and it is estimated that he can also have a small estate of his own.
The barony's territory is not large, and with the existing two lords, if Gervais becomes the third lord of the domain, then Bonita will basically have to find another way out on her own.
Because it is difficult for a barony to support more than three lords and knights.
If Bonita is lucky, she will be able to marry a nobleman and become a noble lady. The worst option is to marry a knight and become a lady, who has privileges but is not hereditary, and has a pitiful inheritance.
As for obtaining a knighthood through the battlefield, that is a more difficult path than being a noble lady.
Without a knighthood, it means that you can't recruit soldiers who are loyal to you, and if you go it alone, it will be difficult to compete with other nobles even if you have oil and water. Even the smallest lord can recruit serfs from his estate to fight at will in wartime.
If it weren't for Gervais, she would have become a lord in Gandalf's domain, and the road would have been much wider in the future, and she wouldn't have to send anyone to the fence.
So Bonita pointed all the fingers at Gervais, provoking Gervais anytime and anywhere, but Gervais is a cultivation waste, and he will be taught a lesson by Bonita every time.
Even Ye Feng was not spared after crossing over, after being beaten by a little girl once, he learned smartly, and when he saw Bonita, he took a detour, not because he was afraid of pain, but mainly because he was too embarrassed, he was beaten by a little girl, and he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
"Bonita, stop screaming. I'm in the shower! As the daughter of a nobleman, you will make your father's face disgraced! Gervais had a little headache and replied to the door.
After replying, Gervais lowered his head, but he was stunned.
For he looked down and saw that the whole pool had become muddy, and he knew how dirty it was that it was a nine-foot-long and wide bath, and that it could mix up the blisters.
Gervais couldn't believe it, remembering that he bathed every day. Gervais rubbed his arm in disbelief, and as a result, a thin layer of skin was peeled off from his skin, and under the thin skin was a smoother and more rosy skin than before.
Could it be the effect of golden fruits? Washing the menstrual marrow? Gervais was a little excited, this world is respected by force, if the golden fruit really has such an anti-heaven effect, then he can go all the way to the sky and the air and go to the peak of life?
But after thinking about it, Gervais was discouraged again, a fruit costs 10 energy points, and a task only rewards a little, and this unreliable gold finger doesn't know when it will be able to release the task again, and he waited a month for it to release the first task.
If Goldfinger only releases a mission in a year and a half, then he will have to accumulate enough 10 energy points to wait until the Year of the Monkey.
"Phew, Gervais, you are a shame to my father, my cultivation talent will only bring glory to my father, and I am about to break through to become a Bronze Horseman."
"And I've been waiting for you outside for half an hour! If you don't come out again, I'll try with you again later! ”
Bonita didn't eat Gervais at all, the shouting was only a moment later, and it continued to sound outside the door, every time he beat Gervais, Bonita would try to compete in the name of a beautiful name, but Gervais, as an older brother, was beaten to lose his temper.
"Don't make any noise, I'll be out right away!" Gervais ignored her, rubbing his body all over his body before stepping out of the bath.
There were two water tanks at the foot of the bathroom wall, which were also filled with water, and Gervais took a wooden scoop and rinsed himself with clean water, and after five or six minutes of rinsing it felt clean enough, Gervais stopped, and then dried himself with a towel. Put on your clothes and go to the door and open the door.
"Gervais, I'm going to compete with you!" When Gervais opened the door, and before he could step out of the room, he heard Bonita's angry shouting.
As he shouted, one of his hands was already on Gervais's shoulder.
Bonita had seen this trick Gervais had seen, falling over the shoulder, grabbing the arm first, and then slamming the enemy to the ground with skill.
This move Bonita tried and tested here many times, because Gervais was not as fast as Bonita and was not as powerful as her.
"It's over!" When he saw the familiar moves coming at him, Gervais knew that he couldn't dodge.
But although I know that I can't hide, I still have subconscious resistance.
Looking at the attacking arm, Gervais subconsciously activated the faint fighting qi in his body, and then turned sideways to dodge Bonicta's attacking hand.
At the same time, he didn't stop, but he saw Gervais raise his hand and grab Bonita's wrist, and when the conscious action was completed, Gervais became excited, because he found that the grab, which he couldn't dodge before, was easily dodged by himself.
And he also successfully grabbed Bonita's wrist.
While excited, Gervais grabbed Bonita's wrist and pulled it down hard, and with a spin, Bonita had been subdued by him.
Gervais was already standing behind Bonita at the moment, and Bonita's arm had been twisted by him, and no matter how much Bonita struggled, he couldn't break free.
"Ahh Gervais, let me go! I'm a bastard! After Bonita was restrained by Gervais, she lost her temper a little and screamed.
Gervais didn't bother either, just nudging Bonita on the back while letting go of Bonita's wrist.
Caught off guard, Bonita's center of gravity was unstable and fell forward, stumbling several steps before she stopped her steps and stood firm.
After being pushed out by Gervais to stand firm, Bonita looked back in disbelief.
"How is that possible...... Who are you? You're not Gervais! Bonita was a little out of control, with a look of disbelief.
Hearing Bonita's words, Gervais was startled, and the still complacent mood disappeared immediately. I was suddenly nervous, could it be that Bonita knew about any flaws?
But after a moment of thought, Gervais dismissed the idea. There was nothing wrong with his performance just now, and this is the second time he has seen Bonita this month.
The first time, but as soon as we met, I was directly beaten down by her.
Besides, I am a soul piercing, and I am afraid that this world does not even know the word traversal. Sure enough, there is a ghost in his heart, and his courage is small.
"Bonita, what nonsense are you talking about?" The thought went around in a circle, and Gervais unceremoniously questioned Bonita.
"So what just happened? How could you possibly hide! And how did you become so powerful? ”
Gervais knew that this delicate sister was hit by the blow he had just made, so he lost his words and said nonsense, although he had just completed the counterattack without Bonita being guarded, but according to the previous strength, it was impossible for Gervais to twist her arm.
"What's so strange about that? Since my mother died, I'm afraid you're sad and I've been letting you go, what do you think? I'm a baron now, a person of status, I can't let you go anymore! ”
"In the future, you give me honesty, or I will let my father send you to my territory and let me discipline you! See how I clean you up then! Hum! ”
Gervais didn't have a good reason to explain it so quickly, so he casually made up a reason, whether she believed it or not, anyway, this girl always reversed black and white, and Gandalf knew it.
Besides, he is a big man and usually doesn't like to discipline much, as long as it's not their brother and sister Xiao Qiang, he is not afraid.
Bonita looked at Gervais with a blank expression, her mind a little unable to turn around, or she was frightened by Gervais's last two words.
Gervais didn't care about her, picked up his elf worm jade box, and prepared to go to the restaurant. Because he felt that his stomach was very hungry now, like he hadn't eaten for two or three days, and he urgently needed a lot of food.
