The purchasing power of gold coins is considerable, one gold coin is equivalent to 100 silver coins, and one silver coin can be exchanged for 100 copper plates, and three copper plates can buy a large piece of black bread enough for three people to eat. A skilled blacksmith can only earn five or six copper plates a day.

So, when Thomas returned with a lot of supplies, he still had most of the money left unspent.

He was lucky today, just arrived in the town, and met a serf from the countryside, the serf carried a boar on the street to sell, Thomas saw that the boar had hundreds of pounds, and directly spent silver coins to buy it, in the serf who sold the boar, let the two guards who followed carry back to the castle, and the serf who sold the boar followed behind, and the serf who slaughtered the boar still needed this serf.

The reason why he did not slaughter the boar at home was that he was worried about killing it in advance, because the weather was hot, and it might not be fresh if it was not sold out, and when he got to the town, there were enough people to watch, and when he was killed, he would not only be fresh in meat, but also sell it for a while.

At first, when the serf who sold the boar saw Thomas come to his boar with four guards, he felt the urge to cry, because the reputation of the guards had spread among the serfs, who only numbered more than 2,000 people, and the woman who had been ruined by Benny was from their village, and the woman had committed suicide because she was humiliated, but the woman's family did not dare to go to the guards for an explanation, because the guards were the most powerful people in the place.

The serf who sold the boar once thought that Thomas was the protagonist who did the hurtful thing, and felt that his boar would definitely not be safe, and in the face of Thomas's questioning, his reluctant smile was more ugly than crying. In the end, to the serf's surprise, Thomas actually gave the money, and it was a silver coin, although it was less than the real price, but it was already many times better than his original plan to empty the pig money.

It was worth paying a silver coin to buy this boar, but Thomas originally wanted to keep the price down, and it was about the same to give him a 50 copper plate, and he didn't need to report the lord's honorific title, and the four guards who followed him alone could make the serfs dare not object.

But he suddenly remembered that when he took the gold coin handed by Gervais, Gervais had warned him not to buy and sell forcibly, so he bought this boar whose real price should be about fifty copper plates for one silver coin.

"There is such a generous lord in this world, and it is estimated that there is only Lord Gervais." After buying the boar, Thomas thought so in his heart.

Thinking about it, Thomas was still very happy, he knew that his lord Baron liked to eat meat, and such a boar was hard to come by, so he would be very satisfied to be able to buy such fresh and lively game.

Do a good job of the things that Gervais has assigned, and the position of butler will not be far away from him.

……

On the long table, only Gervais sat alone to eat, which seemed very empty, which made Gervais miss the feeling of eating in Gandalf's castle a little, although the food was not delicious, but the atmosphere was very warm, listening to the slight rattling sound of everyone chewing, it would make people feel fulfilling.

As for the earth, since the death of his grandmother, there has been no one close to him, his parents left him when he was very young, and he has not felt the warmth of home for several years since he was brought up by his grandmother.

Now there were four or five dishes on the table, all of them full of color and aroma, and they felt delicious just by smelling them, but Gervais always felt that something was missing, and he was a little unrefreshed.

"Thomas, why don't you sit down and eat together?" Gervais suddenly turned his head and said to Thomas, who had been standing beside him, that Thomas was very satisfied with what he had done in the afternoon, especially the boar.

"My lord, don't be kidding! The long table in the castle dining room is only allowed to sit on the nobles or the children of the nobles! The villain would never dare! Of course Thomas didn't dare.

Gervais can be whimsical, but Thomas, who was trained at Castle Rose, knows that the long table in the dining room is a taboo for anyone except the nobles, and if he listens to Gervais today, he will dare to sit down, and if the matter gets out, it will definitely make him a flag on a wooden pole, fluttering in the wind.

Looking at Thomas's appearance, Gervais knew that the hierarchy had been engraved in the minds of Thomas and others, and it was impossible to change it. Gervais didn't say anything, shook his head, picked up his knife and fork, and ate alone.

For slaves or commoners, the nobles tried every means to limit their rights and distinguish themselves from them. The advantage of this is that it reflects its own superiority, and it can also inspire the common people to aspire to it, even for the sake of a lord title that cannot be hereditary.

……

After eating, Gervais went directly to the study and pushed Thomas away, he still had one thing in his heart, that is, the search function that he had never used in his golden finger! In Gandalf's castle, he was afraid of the unknown and did not dare to use it.

Now that this is Gervais's own territory, he has been able to minimize the risk, and even if something happens, he has the possibility of remedy.

When I opened the panel, it was still familiar, and in the exchange mall on the right, all the icons had become gray. There is only the search button on the left, which can be used with only one energy point. The search button was still lit at the moment, and Gervais was going to use it now to see what it did.

Gervais is not ready to save this 1 pitiful energy point to buy and exchange for those strange fruits in the mall, although the golden fruit has a wonderful effect, but God knows when the next system will need to wait for the task, if each mission is rewarded with 1 energy point, he feels that he is not in a hurry.

Gervais rubbed his hands nervously, then raised his hand to the search button. In fact, the panel does not need to be touched by hand, it can be controlled with your mind, but Gervais is quite excited at the moment, and raising his hand is just a subconscious action.

He also had a guess about the search function, which should be able to search for something valuable or something, but before he really figured it out, he didn't dare to make up his mind, and could only hope that the more valuable the thing he was looking for, the better. In this way, he can rely on Goldfinger to strengthen himself in this world and not be swayed by others.

Serfs and civilians were like lambs in front of him, and life and death were only a thought of it. But he Gervais is not a lamb in the eyes of those great nobles, he doesn't want to be a lamb, but wants to be a carefree tiger and leopard, who can protect himself and get away with it.

When the search function is clicked, there is an immediate reaction on the panel, and the energy value of 1 to 1 becomes 0 to 1. There are two small dots flashing on the circle at the moment, one is green and the other is red.

"Could it be that the red dot represents a treasure?"

Gervais speculated that the red dot represents a treasure because the green dot is in the center at the moment, like a radar screen on Earth, and the red dot is on the border of the circle.

Next, in order to test his guess, Gervais walked out of the study, because of the structural constraints in the castle, he could not walk in the direction of the red dot all the time. So he quickly came to the vestibule of the castle, and then the map changed a little, and when he walked to the vestibule, and continued in the direction of the red dot, the position of the red dot had been narrowed a little closer, but the position of the movement was very small, and if it was not for Gervais watching intently, he might not have been able to detect it.

"I was at least 200 meters away from my study to this location in a straight line, but the red dot was only slightly closer. Explain that the location of the red dot is at least 5 kilometers away from here." Gervais thought for a moment, knowing that the red dot was a little far away from his current position, and it was no longer suitable to check it out tonight.

His territory is currently vast and sparsely populated, and two kilometers away from the town can be completely out of the confines of the town, and five kilometers away there may already be dense weeds or woods. Without raising suspicion, his best plan was to wait until tomorrow, at dawn, to go out and look for it.

"I have to make up a reason to go out!" Although there may not be such a concept of goldfinger in this world, in order to prevent the number of times from attracting people's attention, he feels that he must arrange an upright itinerary every time he looks for a red dot.

Suddenly, Gervais thought of a very reasonable reason to go out.

"Thomas!"

"My lord, is there anything wrong with you?" Just now, Gervais ran out of the castle in a hurry, and Thomas, who was arranging for two servants to work, immediately followed, and did not ask Gervais what he was doing. While Gervais stood in the vestibule in a daze, Thomas stood silently not far away.

"I'm going to patrol my territory tomorrow, you go and arrange it!" As a new lord, Gervais felt that he had to make a tour of his territory, whether it was to find the red dot or not, so that he could think about how to develop it.

It is very important to develop the territory according to local conditions, he has no funds in his hands, and the territory has no population, so he can only see what resources can be used in the territory.

He had planned to wait a few more days before inspecting the territory, but since the Golden Hand had pointed out the location of the treasure, he needed to find it as soon as possible. This kind of thing should be sooner rather than later, if it wasn't really too far away, he would have found a reason to go out and see it now.

"Yes, sir!" Thomas felt that Gervais was in a hurry to run to the vestibule, and after standing for a while, it was a little strange that he suddenly ordered that he would inspect the territory tomorrow. However, as a servant, he can do whatever Gervais says, and there is no need to question Gervais's decision.

As the reserve butler, Thomas felt that there were still some things that needed to be suggested to Gervais, so he said, "My lord, you have just become the lord here, so you need to summon the serfs of the town to meet you tomorrow, after all, you are their master, and they don't know your identity yet!" ”
