Chapter 27 New Tasks of the System
After instructing a few serfs, Gervais returned to the side of the road and found a smooth stone and sat down. His heart blossomed, he didn't expect that there would be garlic in this world.
That's right, the 'weed' that just surprised Gervais was garlic.
At first, Gervais was not sure, but he just looked like it, but then he sniffed it, and finally took a little bit of it in his mouth, and found that it tasted exactly like garlic on earth.
This made him finally sure that this was the otherworldly version of garlic.
Although garlic is only an ingredient in cooking, and people in this world have not yet discovered its value, Gervais knows how delicious garlic is with oysters and other seafood.
He has already thought about it, so he will collect some garlic and go back today, and make his own garlic roasted oysters to see how it tastes.
If the taste is the same as in the previous life, Gervais wants to train some cooks who bake oysters, and let them bake them a few times for those coastal nobles in the name of Gervais, as long as those nobles taste it, Gervais believes that the nobles of this world will definitely go crazy for this roasting method, after all, this thing has been verified by the earth's foodies. When the time comes, if the nobles still want to eat.
There was only one way, and that was for the man sent by Gervais to teach him how to make minced garlic for a few golden coins.
Gervais believes that he can definitely conquer this world with his cooking skills, he lived alone early before the crossing, and usually eats and drinks alone, so he learned a lot of cooking skills online, and he is quite talented, and the dishes he makes taste good.
When the time comes, as long as a nobleman pays a gold coin, he can make a lot of money.
While Gervais was thinking about making a lot of money from other nobles, half an hour had passed before he knew it.
"My lord, all the grass you asked for has been picked."
Gervais, whose mind wandered through the sky, was pulled back to reality by the voices of the serfs.
Gervais, who heard the noise, looked at them, and saw that each serf had a large bundle of garlic in his hand, but because there was no pocket for it, all of them were trapped with weeds, and there were quite a few of them.
"Well, that's good." Gervais nodded in satisfaction to the serfs.
Then Gervais called Laurie and asked him to give each serf three copper plates. Laurie, in the excitement of the serfs, put the copper plates into their rough hands one by one.
"Thank you, Lord for the reward." The serfs were very happy, three copper plates, even if they worked for others for a day, they only got a day's wages in half an hour, of course they were very happy, and the most important money was given by the lord.
"Well, you guys keep working, work hard, and your life will be better in the future!" Gervais smiled and nodded to the diligent serfs, and returned to his horse. The garlic was moved to the carriage by Laurie and others, but fortunately they brought a carriage today, otherwise it would be a problem to bring it back, and Gervais was quite glad that he brought a carriage today.
"Lord, go slowly!" Seeing Gervais and the others leaving, the serfs bent down to say goodbye.
After walking for five or six minutes on the dirt road, Gervais reached the entrance of the third village, where the serfs he had just met in the fields.
The village is furthest from Marina Town, near the edge of a dark forest. When Gervais arrived here, it was still the guard who went to find the village chief, and then the village chief went to gather the serfs in the village, and after everything was done, Gervais was ready to take the people away, but just as he said he was leaving, the village chief looked like he wanted to say nothing and stopped attracting Gervais's attention.
"What else do you want to say?" Gervais knew that these serfs were a little afraid of the nobles, so he asked directly.
"Back to my lord, outside our village, near the dark forest, we found a big wolf, and the big wolf has already taken away the two sheep in the village." When the village chief saw Gervais taking the initiative to ask, he stopped hesitating at the moment and immediately told Gervais.
Two lambs were a great fortune for the already poor serfs.
"Oh? Only one big wolf? Have you tried to hunt him? Gervais was a little curious, after all, there were more than 300 people in this village, even if it was a pack of wolves, as long as the people in the village worked together, they could always capture the wolves or drive them away.
"My lord, the big wolf is just one, and it's still an old white wolf, but it's very big, almost the size of a cow, and it's ...... Moreover, he will also release a wind blade from his mouth, the last time we tried to round him up, two people were injured, and they are still recuperating, but fortunately there were many of us that time, and it scared him away" The old village chief quickly said what he knew.
"Will you let the wind blade go? Warcraft? Gervais was very surprised, according to the description of the village chief, the white wolf is definitely one of the monsters, the most likely is the storm wolf, the storm wolf generally stays in the depths of the forest or grassland, because the existence of the storm wolf means that there is a small group of wolves nearby.
In the memory of the original owner, Gandalf had explained to them a lot of low-level Warcraft creatures, and this storm wolf was one of them, since it was a Warcraft, it meant that there was already a little intelligence, and ordinary Warcraft creatures would not be close to the gathering area of humans.
Bite~
System Mission: The village in your territory is being attacked by demonic beasts, and for the safety of the people, you as a lord have an unshirkable responsibility.
Mission: Destroy this monster wolf that threatens the safety of your people.
Reward: 2 energy points.
The system task came very suddenly, and when Gervais heard this voice, his whole body trembled, and since he knew the magic of the search function and the strange fruit, Gervais had been looking forward to the system releasing the task.
I didn't expect it to come in a few days, and it can also reward two mission points, which means that there is a possibility of increasing in the future, and I don't have to worry about not raising enough energy points to exchange for kiwifruit.
Although this task is a bit dangerous, after all, it is a magical beast and can also send out wind blades, even the size of a cow should not be underestimated, if you are unlucky, you may die, but Gervais is not afraid, he believes that as long as he gives himself a little time, he can break through the cultivation.
"It seems that I have to go back and cultivate hard, break through the trainee knight as soon as possible, and become a bronze knight, so that against this demonic beast wolf, even if I can't kill it, at least some of them have the power to protect themselves." Gervais thought to himself.
"When was the last time you ran into this wolf?" In fact, even if the system does not issue a mission, Gervais must get rid of this threat, because it is the lord's responsibility to protect the people, and these serfs are his private property, and it is a loss to hurt one.
Now that the task of the system is released, Gervais is even more attentive, so he needs to understand all aspects of things in detail.
"My lord, the wolf basically came once every four or five days, and came again two days ago, and took a sheep, and after the last round-up, the villagers did not dare to round it up again, but they saw it in the distance and carried it to the edge of the forest, and then ate the sheep there, and after eating the sheep, they went into the dark forest."
After listening to the village chief's words, Gervais thought for a while before saying, "In this way, you will find a house for the other sheep in the next few days, and when the wolf appears again, send someone to the castle to inform me immediately, and I will come immediately." ”
"Remember, when the wolf appears, tell the villagers to hide in their homes, close the door of the house, and keep it silent."
Gervais definitely wants to go back to the castle, after all, there are still so many things in the territory, and he has to go back to cultivate, it is impossible to stay here all the time waiting for the wolf to appear, so he can only let the villagers hide the sheep.
In this way, when the wolf comes, he will definitely be reluctant to leave if he does not find food, so there will be time for him to come. He was worried that the wolves would not find food and would attack the villagers, so he specifically emphasized that the villagers should hide.
"Yes, lord, I'll let the villagers know later." The village chief hurriedly nodded yes, since the lord will solve this matter, the old village chief is no longer worried, no need to ask Gervais to order, these days when the villagers see the white wolf appear, they will honestly hide in their homes.
"Very good, then I'll leave today, remember that next time the wolf comes, send someone to the castle to inform me as soon as possible." Gervais nodded, and rode out of the village, it was getting dark, and he had to go to find out what Lenny was doing in the buffer zone.
"I remember, my lord, you go slowly."
……
Gervais's territory is rectangular, the territory is long from north to south, and narrow from east to west, and there is a mountain range to the west that is hundreds of miles long, just blocking the territory of Gervais and Lenny, only at the edge of the dark deep forest, that is, the southwest of Gervais's territory, there is a flat terrain, and the only buffer zone between Gervais's territory and Lenny's territory is there.
After nearly two hours of walking, halfway to the buffer zone, Gervais felt parched by the sun, so he found a shady place to rest first, otherwise there would be no special medicine in this world for heat stroke.
"Feed him some water, too, and don't die of thirst on the way." After Gervais sat down, he drank half a water bladder of water, and then he felt a chill all over his body, and saw that the man tied to the carriage was dying, so he asked the guards guarding him to feed him water.
Although he deserved to be hanged when he arrived in Marina Town, Gervais had received a modern education before he died, and he would not deliberately abuse him.
"Yes, my lord." This guard had been bullied by Benny and his two dogs before, so he hated them in his heart.
Although he did not dare to retaliate along the way, just like now, after stopping the car, the guards who drove the car deliberately exposed the man to the sun, and only pulled the garlic and horses into the shade of the trees.
After hearing Gervais's words, he didn't dare to disobey, took out the strip of cloth from Benny's men's mouth, and then poured water into his mouth roughly.
Seeing the guard's actions, Gervais was silent, and reported it again and again, there was nothing to be pitied, and he was given water to drink, but Gervais was born as a modern visitor's humane act, and as for the Virgin, he did not do it. Who did they go to to pity the girl who had been ruined by them?
