Leaving Bonita behind, Gervais made his way to the dining room, where Gandalf and Dries were already there.

Gervais walked towards the dining table, in the aristocratic dining room of this world, there is never a shortage of long tables, the long table in his house is about five or six meters, usually if there are no guests, only four people sit on it to eat, it looks very empty.

Although it was already the middle of the night, because of the words of the noble lord, the kitchen had already made dishes like a meal. Of course, the dish is a bit shabby, with a long slice of white bread, a large piece of unchopped prosciutto on a large copper plate, and a bowl of mushroom soup with a hint of oil.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Gervais let out a cry of surprise because he had seen a whole roast chicken on the table, and it was so good that if he got closer, he could smell the aroma emanating from the roast chicken.

It's no wonder that Gervais is so surprised, because for nearly a month, all he has seen on the table is the same three things, bread, ham and mushroom soup. At the beginning, Gervais was also puzzled, Lord Baron, a feudal lord is living so shabby, is there a shortage of materials in this world?

But after he fused more and more memories of the original owner, he knew the answer. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, the reason why the dignified baron is so economical is because of their three brothers and sisters.

For the sake of his three children, Lord Gandalf spent a lot of money to buy a mutated royal blue elf bug, which was exactly the same as the one that the countess gave to Gervais.

Because the royal blue elf insect can accelerate the speed of cultivating the fighting qi, the price is very expensive, and the price of a royal blue elf insect is generally around 1000 gold coins, and there is still no market.

Don't underestimate 1000 gold coins, for an average barony, 1000 gold coins is equivalent to 5 years of taxes.

Of course, this is after removing taxes from the church.

Buying this elf worm almost hollowed out Gandalf's old bottom.

Elven bugs are bought in the spring, and now it's summer, and taxes only start in the fall.

So during this time, the use of the castle needs to be reduced, and of course the three brothers and sisters have no objection to this, but they are suffering from the soul attached to Gervais's body.

Gervais walked quickly to the table with the jade box in his arms and sat in his place, he couldn't wait for such a big roast chicken.

"Father, how is the big flower?" At the long table, Gandalf sat in the main seat, and Gervais and Dries sat opposite each other.

Gervais glanced at Dries, who looked a little depressed and absent-minded.

Gervais didn't bother to pay attention to him, the previous Dries had eyes on the top of his head, and it was estimated that he was not lightly hit this time.

Gervais looked at Gandalf again, and asked when he saw Gandalf's happy face.

As he spoke, the servant had already brought the cutlery, and Gervais took the knife, fork and plate handed by the man, cut the whole leg from the roast chicken, put it on his plate, and ate it.

Gandalf was in a good mood today, and he was not angry when he saw Gervais cutting the food like this, and usually if he saw Gervais so rude at the table, he would inevitably have to say a few more words.

"Big Flower went into production and was a stallion. Today, we in the Gaelic family are under God's mercy! ”

"Congratulations father!" Gervais was eating, and when he heard Gandalf's words, he complimented him.

After a pause, he continued to ask, "Father, I want to ask, do you know why Alice chose a husband among the heirs of the vassals?" ”

Time was pressing, and Gervais was not polite, there were no outsiders here, so he did not shy away from asking.

"Humph!" Gandalf didn't say anything, but Dries, who was sitting across from him, stood up, snorted angrily, turned around and walked out of the restaurant.

Gervais and Gandalf looked at each other, but in a moment Gandalf reacted and put down his knife and fork.

"Father, ignore him, let's get down to business, I'm going to the territory tomorrow! It's better to know these things sooner. ”

"Otherwise, I'm always at ease."

Gandalf was just about to rebuke Dries, but Gervais immediately stopped him, and it was now the middle of the night, and it would be dawn after a few more tosses, and he didn't ask about these things clearly, and he always had no bottom in his heart.

As for Dries, according to the memory of the original owner, the cheap brother was not bad to his brother before, and it can be seen from the fact that he can stand up and intercede for him at the banquet, it is estimated that tonight's events will have too much impact on him, and his mentality will be unbalanced for a while.

This is a very normal thing, if you want to change to Gervais himself, it is estimated that he will be tired of two days when he sees that others are knights and territories.

"I can't hold my breath for such a little thing, how can I become a qualified nobleman!" Gandalf grimaced.

"Father, qualified nobles also grew up from unqualified!"

Gervais is serious.

Hearing Gervais, Gandalf stopped talking about Dries. He also knew that the matter of his second son was important, so he said to Gervais: "Actually, this is not a secret, the Earl has already summoned us to explain the reason. ”

"This matter has to start with the old earl, some time ago, the old earl suddenly disappeared in the castle, without any clues."

"The old earl is a golden peak knight, and he has reached the highest stage since ancient times, and there are no more than 10 strong people above the golden high level knight in the entire Eurasian continent. But such a strong man disappeared quietly. ”

Gervais was taken aback, the Golden High Rank Knight is equivalent to a nuclear weapon on Earth in this world, and having a Gold High Knight is equivalent to having a nuclear deterrent.

One can imagine the terrible consequences of the silent disappearance of a nuclear weapon.

"Because of the disappearance of the old earl, Count Alice had to come back from the royal capital to inherit the title, because she is the only daughter of the old earl!"

"The reason why the Earl was forced to choose a husband was that the second prince of the royal capital, Charter Jean, the second prince was very ambitious, but because he was the second son of the king, he could not inherit the throne, and he had been pestering Lord Alice when the old earl was still there, but because of the old earl, he didn't dare to go too far, and now the old earl is missing, and Lord Alice has inherited the title, and the second prince has made a statement to the king that he wants to marry Lord Alice."

Gandalf paused, took a knife and cut off a piece of the meat of the smoked ham and placed it in his own plate before continuing.

"Don't leak out the following words, the second prince gave the king a marriage, and the eldest prince informed the earl through a secret letter, so the earl will be in such a hurry to get married, if you wait until the king's will arrives, then even the earl cannot disobey the king's will."

So that's the case, Gervais was thoughtful, no wonder Alice was in such a hurry, even if the eldest prince's secret letter was delivered to Alice faster, but there was definitely not much time left for him, if he didn't hurry up to find someone to complete the marriage, then there would be no reason to refuse the king's marriage.

Unless you directly oppose it, but oppose the monarch to whom you are loyal, it is like a rebellion, and the consequences are very serious, but is this king a fool, if the second prince is stronger, he will not fight to the death with the eldest prince.

Since this world stipulates succession and cannot be changed, what medicine did the king take to let his two sons get into trouble.

Besides, if he forcibly gave marriage like this, it would definitely make the nobles feel a sense of crisis.

"Father, isn't the king afraid that after the second prince marries Alice, he and the eldest prince will kill each other?" Gervais asked, puzzled.

"You are wrong, Gervais! The King is also a Golden High Knight! As long as he lives for one day, the eldest prince and the second prince are under his control. ”

"The county of Jones occupies a quarter of the richest land in the kingdom, and there is also a unique potion rose."

"There used to be an old earl, and no one dared to act rashly, but the old earl has been missing for so long, and the king can't bear it anymore! As long as the second prince can marry Alice, in a few decades, this rich territory will belong to the Jean family. ”

Gandalf ate the prosciutto on his plate, eating it soundly, answering Gervais's questions as he ate.

"Now that Alice is married to you, that won't happen anymore. Even if the will reaches the territory, it is believed that the herald will not dare to announce the will. ”

"Because that would be a disgrace to the royal family! You don't have to worry too much, for the king or the second prince, you are too weak, just like an ant under an eagle, they will not pay extra attention to you! ”

Hearing this, Gervais was a little relieved, and Gandalf had a point. For the king and the second prince, Gervais was too small, and it was just a pawn used by Alice to stop them from trying to seize the Jones Earl.

Even without Gervais, the countess would be able to find Anvis, Ganvis. Of course, if Gervais was not a vassal of the Alice family, but a great nobleman.

Then, there will definitely be a strong revenge from the king, because if any great nobleman marries Alice at this time and destroys the king's plan, it is to represent an alliance with Alice against the king, and the nature is completely different.

But even though I'm still a little ant in their eyes at the moment, I have to be on guard.

After all, the history of the earth tells him that sometimes the superior disdains to deal with ants, but there are always some doglegs who will make their own decisions to trouble the ants in order to curry favor with their masters.

"Then father, why doesn't the king fight for his territory by force?"

After admonishing himself not to be careless, Gervais continued to ask Gandalf, but when he said this, Gervais scolded himself for asking too much.

Because this is a standard aristocratic feudal world, each big nobleman has his own vassal, if that nobleman sees that his vassals are rich and directly takes them by force, then the nobleman will definitely not be able to gain a foothold in the future.

Gandalf was as serious as ever, and when he heard Gervais's words, he replied with a smile: "Obtaining benefits through clever means is a skill that all nobles must learn. ”

"But by snatching their own vassals by force, then this nobleman will be spurned by everyone. If the king dares to use force to seize the county of Jones, then the Duchy of Jean will surely be in turmoil. Several other principalities will surely take advantage of the situation! ”
