When Gervais was gone, Anna didn't know what she was going to do next, so she turned to look at Thomas, ready to ask the butler what he was going to do now.

Unbeknownst to Anna, the butler already had a bold idea in her mind about her relationship with Gervais, and it was precisely because of this idea that her status in the castle had been raised again.

"Anna, how is your mother's illness, is there no money to see a doctor?"

Before Anna could ask, Thomas spoke first.

Thomas felt that Anna had that kind of relationship with Gervais, and that he needed to treat Anna alone in the future, and could no longer treat her like an ordinary servant.

"Lord Housekeeper, many of my neighbors have lent me money last night, and they have scraped together enough money to buy medicine for my mother's treatment."

Anna wondered why the butler had asked about this suddenly, but she answered honestly.

"Oh, that's fine, work hard, and with your salary, it won't be long before you can pay them back." Thomas nodded, knowing that the money had been raised, and stopped talking about it.

He originally thought that if Anna was short of money to treat her mother, he could advance some salary to her, after all, Anna was different from before, even if Gervais didn't show it, he should give Anna some convenience as a housekeeper.

"By the way, Anna, do you know how to ride a horse?"

"Steward, I haven't learned to ride a horse." Anna heard Thomas's inquiry and quickly replied respectfully.

"Then you have to learn to ride a horse, Lord Gervais travels on horseback, and if you want to follow the adults at all times, you must learn to ride a horse."

Thomas nodded, because Anna was literate, so he specially asked, otherwise he would know without asking, horses are so precious, how can a serf girl have the opportunity to learn, even some of the lord's daughters can't learn, Thomas himself has only practiced a little because he was under the hands of the great nobles of Rose Castle.

"But, Lord Steward, I don't have a horse to learn."

Anna lowered her head, a little worried, the noble lord basically travels on horseback, of course she knows, but she can't, she doesn't want to learn and there are no horses, if she can't ride a horse, will she be replaced by the housekeeper.

"It doesn't matter, you can learn with the horses in the castle, and I'll teach you when the time comes!"

Thomas smiled and said to Anna in a soft tone, "Thomas, the pillow man of Lord Gervais, naturally wants to be treated preferentially."

"Really? Butler? Thank you, Steward. ”

Anna was so surprised that she saw Thomas nodding at her, and she was convinced that it was true, so she quickly thanked Thomas.

Anna couldn't believe that Thomas was willing to let her little maid learn such a valuable thing as a horse.

It's as shocking as the butler of some rich man on the planet who asks his servants to learn to drive with millions of brand-name sports cars.

"Butler, can I learn it now?"

Looking at Thomas's kind smile, Anna plucked up her courage and asked Thomas in a low tone that she wanted to learn to ride a horse quickly so that her job as a valet would be secure.

"Learn now?" Thomas was a little surprised, he was a little but Anna's body would not be able to stand it, and Gervais would not blame him when he came back.

However, seeing Anna's determined eyes, she also knew that the girl in front of her must want to learn to ride a horse quickly, so she agreed.

"Yes, there happens to be a horse left in the castle now, so you can come with me."

"Thank you, Butler." When Anna saw Thomas agree, she smiled and obediently followed Thomas towards the stable.

……

Out of the castle, Gervais did not rush directly to the village, but rushed to Marina Town first, his weapon had not yet been obtained, and he needed to make a trip to Brian.

Riding a horse and galloping to the outside of Brian's stone house, Gervais dismounted and walked into the stone house, and when he entered the stone house, he saw Brian sitting at the table eating breakfast, which was very shabby, a black bread, and a bowl of steaming water.

"My lord, why did you come so early? I'm going to finish breakfast and send my sword to your castle. ”

Brian was stunned for a moment when he saw Gervais enter the room in a hurry, and then put the black bread in his hand back into the bowl with a little embarrassment.

"Brian, has the sword been strengthened? I have an urgent need right now. ”

Seeing the black bread on the table, Gervais understood why he wanted to strengthen his weapons, Brian would be so happy, you must know that Brian was once a person in the aristocratic class, or an alchemist, and his life must be extremely nourishing, but now he eats this kind of black bread that only serfs eat, and no one can stand it.

The steaming bowl of water was not used to quench thirst, but because the black bread was so hard that it needed to be soaked in hot water and put in your mouth to bite into it.

"Lord Lord, it's strengthened, it's strengthened last night."

Brian replied to Gervais as he quickly got up and walked into the back room to retrieve Gervais's sword.

"Lord Lord, take a look, I have engraved this sword with two strengthening circles, because you are asking for the effect of increasing the power, the first is the effect that can increase the sharpness, and the other is the tenacity effect, and the weapon that has not been strengthened is slashed, no weapon can hurt it, if the strength is enough, ordinary weapons can be cut with a sword."

Brian walked out of the back room with Gervais's longsword, and deliberately pulled Gervais's longsword out of its scabbard, pointed the hilt in the direction of Gervais, and handed it to Gervais to check.

"Oh?" Gervais was also quite surprised, the strengthened longsword Gandalf also has one, but Gandalf's longsword has only one strengthening effect, that is, the tenacity effect is increased, after all, with the improvement of the realm, the power emitted by the title knight is also getting bigger and bigger, and the weapons that have not been strengthened are likely to be invalidated after a while.

Gervais took the hilt of the sword and examined the inscription on the surface of the blade, and found that there were indeed two inscriptions with different patterns on it, and Gervais could see a clear gap in the inscription.

The ordinary inscription pattern is very large, basically the entire blade is occupied, and the inscription in the middle is connected, it will not be disconnected, just like a wire, if it is disconnected, it is impossible to urge the inscription to produce a strengthening effect, but the inscription on both sides of the long sword in Gervais's hand is divided into two.

Audri and the other guards who followed Gervais also stretched their necks, and looked at the long sword in Gervais's hand with wide eyes, especially when they saw the intricate inscription on the blade, their eyes were full of envy.

Enhanced weapons can be used even by ordinary people who don't have a fighting spirit, and only some special inscriptions need to be triggered by those who have a fighting spirit.

However, Audri and the others are envious, and they just look at it, the price of enhanced weapons is too high, even ordinary small nobles can only have one or two, and it is even more impossible for ordinary people like them to have them.
