Don't look at Gervais now has more than twenty gold coins, but there are also many places where he needs to use money. For example, the castle is still empty, except for some leftover furniture, there is nothing else, and twenty gold coins is not enough for a noble castle to fill in.

Not to mention buying some art to put on a swing to improve the style, that is, the goose down cushion on the sofa must always be bought, and the carpet in each room and all kinds of bedding in the guest room need to be replaced with brand new. The biggest focus is on all kinds of silver plates and porcelain used for banquets.

These things must be purchased at the moment, otherwise, when a guest comes on a day, or a banquet needs to be held, Gervais has no place to connect to the family, and spreading it will definitely damage the reputation of the Gale family and the Jones family.

These things that are related to the aristocracy are expensive, and it makes people headache when they think about it.

Gervais has no income now, although the summer tax in the territory can be collected in more than a month, but there are only 2,000 serfs in the territory, and the church has to take half of the tax, and the rest of Gervais is estimated to be able to hold the castle until next summer.

Recruiting soldiers can only be done after the supplies that Gandalf has sent him arrive.

"It's a vicious circle, and we have to find a way!" Gervais rubbed his swollen head.

"Now it's up to you to see if your wine can succeed. As for the oysters, they should also be put on the agenda quickly, so that they can go out and make money when the time comes. "Gervais's territory is not like Viscount Lanny's, which is rich in minerals, and if Gervais wants to make his first pot of gold, he must make a fuss about wine and oysters at the moment.

What Gervais looks forward to the most is wine, and once successful, it will definitely be a hen that lays eggs.

As for the garlic roasted oysters, you can only find the lords of the coastal areas, personally sell them, and wait for those nobles to like them, and then sell the technology, but this is just a hammer deal, as long as it lasts for a long time, there will be absolutely no income.

While thinking about Gervais unconsciously flipped the heavy book in his hand, this book should be a travelogue, although the book is heavy, but the content is not much, many of them are illustrations, and the level of painting is not up to par, a little abstract, just after Gervais turned most of it, suddenly there was an illustration that caught Gervais's attention.

The art depicts a knight in gold armor riding on a giant dragon and battling a giant monster.

This made Gervais a little surprised, the knight slaying the dragon Gervais was not surprised, there were also carvings in this area on the long table in the restaurant, it was estimated that it was every knight's dream to slay the dragon and save the princess.

It's just the first time I've seen Gervais riding a dragon to fight, and Gervais has been coming for more than a month, knowing that there are fighting monsters in this world, and I'm also curious about whether there is a legendary dragon, but whether it's in popular science books or Gandalf's mouth, it is clearly stated that there are no dragons in the world, and they only exist in novels.

Gervais couldn't help but look forward again, the previous interjections and the stories narrated were normal, there were fights between knights, and there were also battles between people and monsters, which could be confirmed in reality.

"In the year 368 of the alliance calendar, I came to the Duchy of Perth in the north of the continent, and I heard that a month ago, a violent demonic beast appeared on the edge of the forest of eternal night, and the three cities of the Principality of Perth were destroyed within two days, with hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded, and the only dragon knight of the Principality of Perth took action and killed the demonic beast. When I rushed to the edge of the deep forest of eternal night, the originally rich land, the prosperous scene was gone, the three cities with hundreds of thousands of people were in ruins, and the place where the dragon knight and the demon ** fought, there was a ravine hundreds of meters long and dozens of meters deep, I dare to swear, this is the first time I have seen the power of the dragon knight. ”

When Gervais finished reading the text, his heart was shocked, hundreds of meters long and dozens of meters deep, is this still human power? Can the Golden Knight's power be reached?

Then Gervais felt that this book was definitely not a travelogue, but a novel, because there was no alliance calendar on this continent, and the original owner was also a descendant of nobles, and he was also sent by Gandalf to Winterfell for three years before he was a minor.

In Gervais's memory, he had never heard of the Union calendar, and some were only the year of the unification of the continent, and now it is the year 233 of the Gregorian calendar.

Gervais picked up the book, and the old cover had the words "Cecil's Travels" written on it, and the title of the book below was Cecil Biff.

Gervais flipped the book back to the first page, then slowly flipped back.

"In the year 363 of the alliance, there was a war between the county of Path and the county of Kate, and the count of Pass sent 10,000 troops, which lasted three months, and broke through the castle of the count of Kate......"

"363 years of the ...... of the Union Calendar"

"In the year 365 of the Alliance Calendar, it was winter, I was invited by a friend to attend his medal banquet in the Duchy of Gus, but the road to the Duchy of Gus had been blocked by heavy snow, in order to catch up in time, I spent gold coins to follow a caravan, ready to follow them through the dangerous Chel swamp, on the third day after departure, the team was attacked by a demonic beast, a snow wolf hid in a snowdrift on the side of the road, and dragged away a guard without the caravan noticing......"

"366 years of the Union Calendar......"

Gervais flipped through the pages of the book and found that this book called "Cecil's Travels", except for the description of the dragon knights, the other descriptions of events are relatively real, including local customs, interesting anecdotes about nobles, and small-scale wars.

This made Gervais very distressed, and he couldn't tell if the dragon knight in it was real or not, otherwise why would a normal travelogue suddenly have an extra mythical content, whether it was the author's bad taste, or something else.

When Gervais finished the whole book, he couldn't find the answer.

Rubbing his slightly stiff face vigorously, Gervais fortunately didn't pay attention to this book anymore, what is the dragon or not it first, there are many doubts about the time recorded in this book, he is going to look through other books to see if there is any record of the alliance calendar.

Gervais then found a few history books on the shelves, but unfortunately there was no record of any of them about the Union calendar. The earliest records in these history books are from the beginning of the Gregorian calendar, and there is no record before the Gregorian calendar.

Gervais didn't give up and looked through a few more books, but still didn't get anything.

"It seems that I still know very little about the world. It is impossible for humans to survive in this world for 233 years. ”

The history of this continent seems to be shrouded in fog, except for the records of 233 years in the Gregorian calendar, everything before it seems to be faulted, and there is no record.

This is extremely strange, you must know that even in the most primitive era of the history of the earth, people will slowly complete the history of their predecessors with archaeological excavations.

"Aren't the nobles of this world curious?" Gervais believed that he was not the only one who could discover the problem, but why didn't the nobles explore it.

"It seems that there is a chance to ask about my cheap daddy." Gervais secretly remembered this matter, and prepared to have a chance to learn about it later.
