……

For the next week, Gervais put all his energy into cultivation, and basically didn't see anyone except for eating during the day, until the spiritual power of the cultivation space was exhausted, and Gervais had to stop cultivating.

The first two days of cultivation were just like the first time, basically cultivating the Crit Three Sword Slashes, and through unremitting efforts, Gervais successfully shortened the charging time of the Crit Three Swords Slash from two breaths to one and a half breaths.

Gervais was very satisfied with this achievement, but he also found that his whole body was sore every morning, which made Gervais finally realize that he might have cultivated too hard, although every morning Anna's little maid would massage his shoulder to relieve the pain, but Gervais no longer dared to be as crazy as the previous two days.

In the next few days, Gervais basically practiced ordinary killing martial arts, and the frequency of critical three sword slashes was reduced to ten times a day, so that Gervais got rid of the pain of his whole body.

During this period, Gervais also tried to bring the horse into the space for horse martial arts training, but after two trainings, Gervais found that it was useless, the place was still too small, and he couldn't sprint at all, and the horse was not a real war horse, and his speed and endurance could not meet the combat requirements of the title knight, and Gervais didn't even have armor and spears, and it was not as good as training on the ground.

During this period, the performance of the little maid Anna was also very satisfying, because Gervais was short of manpower and few literate subordinates, and Gervais gave Anna the census of the territory on a whim.

Originally, Gervais was just helpless, but what he didn't expect was that Anna was very conscientious, according to Gervais's requirements, not only counted the number of people, including age, gender, what specialties and so on, although the population of the territory was not much, but it took a lot of time to rely on Anna, sometimes Anna was even busy until midnight before returning to the castle, Gervais for the safety of his little maid, specially sent two guards to protect her.

After four days of counting day and night, Anna finally got the real population of Gervais's territory, 1,254 people in Coastal Town, 328 people in the seaside mountain village, 445 people in the village at the foot of the mountain, 305 people in the village on the edge of the dark forest, and finally a total of 2,027 serfs.

The blacksmith Bernard father and son and the alchemist Brian belong to the status of free people, not serfs, so they are not counted, even if they and Gervais himself and others are added, the population of the territory is only more than 2,000.

Fortunately, although there are only more than 2,000 serfs, this group is very industrious, as long as they are not children or old people who can't walk, they basically work in the fields, which makes this year's harvest just around the corner, although it is not much, but it means that it will not be long before Gervais will receive his first tax since becoming a lord.

……

Early in the morning, Gervais was dressed neatly under Anna's service, he was used to the service of his little maid, because whenever he didn't ring the bell and let Anna come in to serve, as soon as he opened the door, he would see Anna's aggrieved look, which made Gervais feel guilty, and finally simply quit this little maid.

Treating Thomas and the petite and lovely Anna, Gervais naturally treated with double standards, and there is no burden in his heart.

After getting dressed, Gervais walked to the dining room alone, and after eating a rich breakfast, Gervais was about to go to the cultivation space when he heard Anna's eager footsteps coming from upstairs.

Gervais couldn't help but stop and wait, because only Gervais lived upstairs, so the servants rarely went upstairs, even if they cleaned the castle, it was done very early every day, and when Gervais didn't get up, they had already finished these chores, and no one else would stay upstairs.

Footsteps came from far and near, and as Anna descended the steps of the second floor, Gervais saw her.

"My lord, an elf worm has broken the amber hedroon!"

Anna ran fast, but her face was excited, her fair face was already flushed with fierce running, and people couldn't help but want to take a bite, and when she saw Gervais standing in the aisle looking in her direction, she immediately shouted.

"Oh? Coming out so soon? Hearing Anna's words, Gwiston also became excited, originally thought that he would have to wait another five or six days before his second elf worm was born, but he didn't expect it to come out today.

"What color, Anna?"

"My lord, it's a golden elf worm, and he's eating amber shards!"

Hearing this, Gervais smiled even brighter, and he didn't care about cultivating anymore, so he hurriedly greeted Anna and walked up the stairs.

When Gervais came to the study and looked at the place where the elven worm Amber was placed, sure enough, there was a golden worm shaking there, ignoring the arrival of Gervais and Anna.

When Gervais walked in front of it, he didn't even look at Gervais, he just put the broken amber in his mouth, and then chewed it.

"Haha, sure enough, there is a glorious boss covering me, and now I have to believe it! Tyrant gold! ”

Gervais's eyes lit up, and the smile stunned Anna beside her, and it was hard to believe that the normally majestic and decent lord would have such an expression.

This elf insect is about the same size as Betty, its eyes are round, and its body is even more fat and cute, but its body is translucent and golden, like a huge topaz.

There is no doubt that Gervais has obtained another mutated elven worm, except for the green elven worm, other colors of elven worms are very rare, and the space opened up has different functions.

The space opened up by the royal blue elf insect was rich in spiritual power, which greatly improved the cultivation speed of people inside.

And this golden elf insect is also worthy of the color of his local tyrant's gold, the space it opens up contains minerals, all kinds of minerals, and if you are lucky, even gold and mythril may appear.

That's why Gervais smiled so brightly, if it is an ordinary green elf insect, the biggest use is to cultivate crops, although it is also very valuable, but the income requires a long time of cultivation and waiting.

And this golden elf worm, as long as Gervais is not too unlucky, what kind of coal mine he opens, or unknown minerals that cannot be used, he can definitely make a lot of money.

Both copper ore and iron ore are very valuable in this world.

Coal mines can actually make money, but after all, the price is low, and there are a lot of reserves in reality, if you want to make a fortune from coal mines, it is better to be honest and practical Green Elf Insect Farming, maybe the crops inside will mutate and become magic crops.
