Placing the extra oysters on the long table in the dining room, Thomas hurried to the second-floor guest room, and under the excited gaze of the servant, handed him the oysters that Gervais had gifted.

Little did Thomas know at the moment that Gervais had made his ideal a reality for him.

"My lord, the extra golden oysters are already on the long table!" As soon as he reached the first floor, Thomas ran into Gervais.

"Hmmm! Very well, Thomas, you go to the vestibule! Everyone is waiting for you! It's good for me to eat alone in a restaurant. Gervais looked at Thomas, who didn't know anything about becoming a butler, and nodded at him.

"Yes, sir!" Thomas immediately responded, saluted Gervais, and saw Gervais walk into the restaurant, before straightening up and walking towards the vestibule, Thomas was a little puzzled in his heart, he didn't understand what Gervais meant when he said that everyone is waiting for you, why are you waiting for him? The oysters have been distributed.

Confused, Thomas walked out of the inner castle gates.

At this moment, everyone in the vestibule was staring intently at the gate of the inner fort, and when Thomas stepped out of the inner fort, everyone bent down and shouted in unison: "Good evening, Lord Butler Thomas!" ”

"Huh?" Thomas was startled by the chorus of the crowd and didn't understand what was going on.

"Congratulations to Thomas for becoming the steward of the Golden Citadel!" Seeing that Thomas hadn't reacted yet, everyone looked at each other and smiled, and then spoke in unison.

"I've become a housekeeper? Did Lord Gervais say that? Thomas was shocked, a little incredulous, his dream had come true, and he felt unreal when he was unprepared.

"Of course it's true, Mistress Gervais said it himself, and we all heard it, congratulations to Butler Thomas!" Just then, Jimmy trotted over and saluted him and laughed loudly.

Jimmy and Thomas are both from Rose Castle, and as the chef of Rose Castle, Jimmy can also hear the things that the valets often talk about, and the most discussed thing by the male servants in Rose Castle is which lucky person has become the butler of such and such a nobleman.

From now on, the lucky ones in the mouths of those valets will add one more Thomas.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thomas finally smiled, and the happiness came so suddenly that Thomas didn't know how to express it.

"I hope Butler Thomas will take care of him in the future!" When everyone saw Thomas like this, they also joked.

"Everyone's laughing, they're all working for Lord Gervais. I'm going to say thank you now! Thank you for your understanding! ”

Of course, the crowd would not object, so Amid laughter, Thomas hurried back to the inner castle.

"Thank you, little man, for your attention!" As soon as he entered the restaurant, Thomas came up to Gervais, knelt down on one knee and thanked him loudly.

"This is the Thomas you deserve." Gervais nodded with a smile, Thomas was able to become a butler through his own efforts, whether it was his ability or other aspects, he met the requirements of the butler.

"The villain is willing to serve the adult! More adults can give villains this opportunity, and I will not disappoint adults. Thomas suppressed the excitement in his heart and swore with great sincerity.

"Well, I'll see. Go ahead, Butler Thomas. If you don't go to the vestibule, they'll eat your two golden oysters later! "In this world, the butler is the apex of Thomas's male servants, and the nobles also have extremely high requirements for their butlers, and the butlers not only need talent, but also need loyalty.

Sometimes, the butler represents the living standard of the nobles, and if the butler is not good, then his master will also lose face in front of other nobles.

"Then I will take my leave, my lordship!"

……

After eating the oysters, Gervais already felt that he was a little supportive, so he went upstairs to take a look at Ek, who was still in a coma, and told the manservant a few words, and Gervais returned to his study.

Sitting at the desk, Gervais took out the elf insect amber he got during the day, observed it carefully, and then reacted that he hadn't taken care of the royal blue elf insect in the past two days, so he hurriedly walked to the bookshelf and took down the jade box from the bookshelf.

When I opened the jade box, I saw that the fat royal blue elf insect was sleeping.

"You little thing, you're pretty good at sleeping." Seeing that the royal blue elf worm was sleeping, Gervais stretched out his finger and poked it in its fat belly.

"Squeak~" was poked by Gervais, and the royal blue elf worm who was sleeping soundly let out a dissatisfied squeak, but did not wake up, but turned around and continued to sleep.

"Still a slacker!" Gervais couldn't help but be happy, this little thing was already very magical for Gervais who came through, especially with the anthropomorphic expression and action now, it made Gervais's heart of trickery great.

I saw Gervais fiddle at the bottom of the jade box, and a soft snap sounded, and a small drawer popped up under the jade box, and a packet of powder was placed in it, and when Alice gave her the elf worm, she gave him the rose powder together.

"Squeak~squeak~squeak~" Just after this soft sound came out, the royal blue elf worm, which had been sleeping until the end of the day, immediately woke up, shook its little head, and focused on Gervais's face pitifully.

"Aren't you going to sleep a little longer, little one?" Seeing this little guy behaving like this, Gervais couldn't help laughing, put his fingers in the jade box, and rubbed its body.

"Squeak~squeak~squeak~" The royal blue elf insect was no longer sleepy, and it also cooperated with Gervais's fingers, leaning his little head on Gervais's fingers and rubbing it affectionately.

"Alright, alright, I'll give you something to eat now, but before we give you something to eat, we'll give you a name!" Although the little one can't speak, only squeaks, but Gervais has signed a master-servant contract with it, and Gervais can clearly feel the emotions that the little guy is looking forward to.

The name Gervais also just thought, the elf worm amber next to the jade box represents that Gervais will soon usher in his second elf worm in the near future, in order to facilitate management, the name is essential,

"Squeak~" The little guy seemed to understand, and let out a pleasant cry.

"Uh...... Let me think about it, what's your name? Why don't you be Alice? When Gervais saw the cute appearance of the royal blue elf worm, he wanted to tease it.

"Squeak~squeak~squeak~" This made Gervais a little different, and he actually felt that this little guy was a little angry.

"Do you remember your former master?" Gervais asked curiously.

"Squeak." Sure enough, Gervais got an affirmative answer from the little one.

"It's a magical gadget." Gervais was surprised, he didn't expect this little guy to have a memory, he thought that the little guy would only remember the owner at the moment, so to speak, the wisdom of these little guys is not low, having memory means having the ability to learn, it's amazing to think about, this little guy is translucent all over, and no organs exist in the body, how did he do all this.

"Okay, I'm not going to tease you. Let me think of giving you a nice name. Gervais didn't tease it at the moment, and began to think in his head about choosing a good name for the little guy in front of him.

"If you think about it, I'll call you Betty."

Gervais originally wanted to call some Chinese names, such as Ah Hua, Xiaolan and the like, but after all, this is a Western type of civilization, so it is a Western name in a proper manner, as for the little cutie, the little baby Gervais will not take it, and he can't call it if he takes it.

In Gervais's cognition, he will have a large number of elf insects in the future, and the name is not normal, and he can't tell whether it is a little cutie or a little baby at that time.

"Squeak~" This time, the little guy didn't object when he heard his name.

"Betty, remember your own name in the future, don't forget!"

"Squeak~"

Then, in Betty's anticipation, Gervais took out the rose powder, scooped a small spoonful with a spoon and poured it into the jade box.

When Betty saw the rose powder, she immediately became happy, buried her head, and ate it in the jade box.

In fact, the elven insects do not only eat the rose powder of the Rose Castle, as long as it has potion attributes, they will eat it. However, through practice, it has been found that after the elf worm eats the rose powder of Rose Castle, the chance of metamorphosis will increase a lot.

In the past, there was a nobleman who had more than a dozen elf insects, and he was not fed with the rose powder of Rose Castle, and none of the insects had transformed into elves, but once he came to Rose Castle as a guest, the Jones family gave some rose powder to the nobleman as a gift, and when the nobleman fed his own elf insects with rose powder, a magical thing happened, but it was only fed for a month, and one of the dozen elf insects transformed into an elf.

This matter was spread to the aristocratic circles of the entire principality, and at first the nobles did not believe it, but after inquiring, they learned that the number of elves in the Jones family was twice that of other earl families, which was comparable to the number of elves owned by the king.

So, with the mentality of giving it a try, everyone bought the rose powder of the Jones family one after another, and after a while, the entire principality was boiling, and among the dozens of nobles who bought, there were really most of the noble elf insects that transformed into elves one after another within a year.

Although the proportion is not high, but it is more than a hundred times higher than the original luck to get the elf, for a time the rose powder of the Rose Castle has become a good thing in the principality, large and small nobles flock to, and the price of rose powder has also risen gradually.

Half of the King's plot against the Jones family was rose powder.

The roses in Rose Fort are mutated and unique, planted in the Jones family's elven insect space, and those who can enter and exit this space are the most loyal descendants of the Jones family, and it is difficult to obtain this rose by stealing.

Moreover, the Jones family has taken various measures to keep it secret, such as one of the rules is: if you want to take the rose out of the space of the elf worm, only after becoming powder, you must not bring anything other than powder out of the space.

With rose powder, the Jones family became the richest man in the principality.

Under Gervais's gaze, Betty swept away the rose powder in the jade box with a few clicks, and then looked at Gervais pitifully with her big round eyes.

"Can't eat any more!" Betty was reminded by Gervais's induction that she still wanted to eat the rose powder, but Gervais was unmoved, since he had asked Thomas about the price of the rose powder, he had not dared to squander it.

A packet of rose powder costs 1 gold coin, enough for an elf worm to eat for three or two months. Gervais didn't dare to be so extravagant in his food, so he was unmoved by the cuteness of the little guy.

And there should be more and more elf worms in the future, if he doesn't save a little, just giving elf worms may make him poor.

Ignoring Betty's pleas, Gervais closed the jade box and placed the elf worm amber back on the bookshelf along with the jade box.

There are not enough male and female servants in the castle, and Betty still needs Gervais to take care of her, and when the servants are recruited tomorrow, a maid will be selected to take care of them, and the elf insect is not afraid of losing, except for the owner of the elf insect, others cannot cancel the spiritual contract between the elf insect and the master.

After putting away the elf worm, Gervais took a heavy book on the shelf and came to the desk, this world is short of entertainment, and other nobles can still spend time hugging left and right without shame, but Gervais can't find anyone to hug, so he can only stay in the study.

Flipping through the books in his hands, Gervais's mind was wandering through the sky.

"The conscription schedule is also going to be on the line, but the lack of money is a big problem." Gervais doesn't even have a knight title now, and the ordinary soldiers are also three or two kittens, only the three Ikes he brought are still brave, and the other seven guards will have to be retrained in the future before they can be used.

But to recruit soldiers, military pay and food alone is not a small expense, if you want to be strong, you need to train these soldiers strictly, if you want to train food, you have to keep up, weapons and equipment, a pair of leather armor 3 silver coins, a longbow 5 silver coins, a long sword 3 silver coins, shields can be cheap, a small round shield with wooden iron sheets, a silver coin two, these are the most basic equipment, not plus chain mail, cuirass, helmet......

Gervais couldn't imagine it anymore.

There's one more chapter in the evening!
