Chapter 39 Opening up space
The next morning, Gervais got up early in the morning, and after eating a hearty breakfast, he came to the vestibule, touched his bulging belly, and felt a little stretched, mainly because he drank a bowl of fresh milk for breakfast today, which made Gervais a little sick to his stomach.
The milk was delivered by the serfs of the town, and the Storm Collar contained five cows, which originally belonged to the Jones family, but were now naturally the property of Gervais.
The original function of these five cows was to express the milk and give it to pregnant women and newborn babies for free, which was probably the only subsidy for serfs by the nobles, and the population was also a matter of importance to the nobles.
When he learned about this, Gervais also asked Thomas if the pregnant women and babies had enough to drink after the milk was distributed to the castle, and after Thomas answered in the affirmative, Gervais drank it, otherwise he would not have asked for the milk anyway.
"Good morning, lord!"
"Good morning, lord!"
In the vestibule, the guards who walked by from time to time saw Gervais respectfully saluting Gervais, and there was already a little love in their eyes, no longer as at the beginning, only fear in the face of Gervais.
Gervais nodded his head and signaled that Thomas had gone to the town, and that Thomas had appointed Thomas as the castle steward last night, and that Thomas would be even busier.
In view of Johnny and the performance of another servant in the past two days, they have officially become the first batch of male servants in Gervais Castle, and Thomas is going to hand over the matter of buying fresh food to Johnny in the future, so he specially took Johnny to get familiar with it today.
In fact, the fresh ingredients that other lords usually ate did not need to be purchased, because they had special serfs responsible for farming, and after farming, they directly supplied to the castle.
The storm lord is because there has been no lord for thirty years, those serfs are directly taxed after farming, and the castle has no direct serfs to supply ingredients, so they have to spend money to buy, Gervais is always not good at forcing people to give for nothing, if you want to say goodbye to this situation, at least you need to allocate the quota for the castle ingredients in the next quarter to achieve it.
The quota for supplying food to the castle is actually very sought-after, because not only do you not have to pay taxes, but the fields are also the most suitable land for cultivation, and in order to ensure that the supply is sufficient, the land area will be much larger.
In other aristocratic domains, such errands were generally obtained only by serfs with connections, such as the families of guards or servants, which was also the favor of the nobles to these subordinates, so that these subordinates would stand in a united front with the nobles for the sake of profit.
……
The letter written last night has also been delivered, and the person in charge of delivering it is Laurie, because the stakes are very high, and some things are not clear in the letter, so Laurie's main role is to inform Gandalf of Gervais's plan in detail, so as to ensure that things are safe.
When Gervais came to the vestibule, he walked towards the southwest corner of the city wall, where there was a courtyard close to the castle wall, the courtyard was boxy, there was only a wide gate, and the height of the wall was about five or six meters, which was very thick.
This courtyard is also unique to this world, and every aristocratic castle will build a small courtyard with such a shape in the vestibule.
This small courtyard is specially opened for elf insects, because the space of elf insects can be entered and exited by anyone at will, and there are no special restrictions.
In order to prevent irrelevant people from mixing in, the nobles can only protect the safety of the property in the space by placing the opened space in such a closed courtyard, and as long as they send guards outside the only gate of the courtyard, they can basically prevent theft accidents.
At this moment, there is already a guard occupied outside the small courtyard, and it is because of Gervais's orders that he is preparing to open the first elven worm space in his castle today.
"Good morning, lord!"
At the greeting of the guards, Gervais walked into the small courtyard, which was about a hundred square meters, and it was extremely empty, and the weeds on the ground had been cleared and extremely smooth and clean.
Gervais paced around the courtyard, and finally came to a corner of the courtyard, where he prepared to carve out Betty's space.
Those open places are reserved for other elf insects, Betty's cultivation space does not produce anything, and there is no need to carry goods from it, but those green elf insects are different, there must be a lot of output to be carried, so at least leave a carriage through the interval to facilitate passage.
Coming to the corner, Gervais slowly opened the jade box containing Betty.
Betty was still sleeping, as if she would never wake up.
"Betty, get up and get to work!" Gervais poked his finger at Betty, who was sleeping.
"Squeak~" Betty didn't pretend not to wake up this morning like last night, maybe she knew that Gervais was looking for it today, and with a squeak, she woke up and opened her big round eyes, looking around curiously.
"Little one, get to work." Seeing Betty wake up, Gervais stretched out his palm, gently grabbed Betty, and then lowered her fat body to the flat ground.
"Squeak~squeak~" When Betty reached the ground, she heard Gervais's order, squeaked twice to show understanding, and slowly closed her big round eyes, as if she was going to be lucky, and her appearance made Gervais laugh.
Gervais took a few steps back at the moment, and didn't bother Betty, just watched Betty's movements intently.
This is the first time he has seen the elf insect open the space, the original owner has actually seen it once, it is the royal blue elf insect that Gandalf bought to open up the space, but memory is memory after all, for the current Gervais, there is a sense of unreality, so he is full of anticipation of what will happen next.
As Betty's big round eyes closed, the little one's body finally slowly rose.
I saw Betty's royal blue translucent body slowly begin to condense energy, and the bright light in the transparent body began to flicker gradually, and as time passed, the flickering light became brighter and brighter, slowly making Gervais feel a little dazzling.
"How can this little guy have so much energy in his body! It's like a light bulb. ”
After the energy converged, it began to move slowly, at first in Betty's abdomen, and now slowly moved from Betty's abdomen to Betty's little head.
"I don't know if the title knight of the golden high rank can tear the space."
Suddenly, a question popped up in Gervais's mind, tearing space is a miraculous thing, although this world has a fighting spirit, but as far as Gervais knows, he has not heard of any human who can tear space, it is hard to imagine that a little guy like Betty can do it.
Gervais can no longer look directly at Betty at this moment, because the light on Betty's body has become extremely dazzling, Gervais can only use his hands to block the light, and he can only see a white patch through his fingers.
Just when Gervais was so blinded by the bright light that he couldn't open his eyes.
On Betty's side, as the light of her whole body converged on Betty's little head, the little guy's body slowly floated up from the flat ground out of thin air, and slowly floated to more than a meter high in the air, standing out of thin air.
The nearby space began to become unstable as the energy in Betty's body converged to the extreme, and there were faint fluctuations visible to the naked eye in the air.
Bang~
At this moment, there was a soft sound in Gervais's ears, as if a bulging balloon had been punctured, and when Gervais opened his eyes again, the dazzling light had disappeared, and in front of him was a strange entrance to space.
Squeak ~ squeak ~ squeak~
Just as Gervais was stunned as he looked at the strange spatial door, there was a sudden impact on his feet.
Gervais looked down and saw that it was Betty, the little guy, who was banging his toes on the ground, squeaking in his mouth.
Gervais hurriedly squatted down and scooped Betty up, and looked carefully, only to see that although the little guy's appearance had not changed at the moment, his expression was a little sluggish, and his eyes were watery, as if he was sick.
"I'm sorry for you, little Betty!" Gervais looked at her with pity, and did not dare to slack off, and immediately put Betty back in the jade box, and then scooped two spoonfuls of rose powder from the small drawer of the jade box and poured it in front of Betty.
Although the elven worm is very magical, it can open up a space, but it also needs to consume a lot of their own strength to open up this space, and if there is no potion powder to replenish it, it will take at least two years for the elven worm to recover its strength.
"Alright, little one, you have a good rest!" After Gervais had finished feeding Betty, he saw that the little one had eaten the rose powder, and immediately fell asleep, so he covered the jade box.
