Chapter 69: A sense of urgency

"Kill!!"

In the cultivation space, Gervais slashed out one sword after another, his head was already covered with beads of sweat, he had practiced ten times today with three critical swords, and after compressing the charging time to one and a half breaths, Gervais felt that he had reached his current limit, and he could not compress the charging time again.

Gervais guessed that in addition to constantly familiarizing himself with the technique of invoking Dou Qi, the time of charging is also related to the qi veins that run Dou Qi, which can quickly pass through the qi veins, so that he can quickly gather Dou Qi and release the ultimate, and his Qi veins have been transformed by kiwi fruits, which can be comparable to a high-level Bronze Knight, otherwise it is impossible for him to shorten the charging time to one and a half breaths in a short period of time, which has exceeded the depth of more than ten years of hard practice of crit three sword slashes.

"I don't know if there's any way to get power points quickly." After resting, Gervais muttered to himself, a week of crazy cultivation had made him truly appreciate the extraordinary effect of the kiwifruit in the exchange mall.

Only one kiwi fruit can transform his cultivation talent from a weak chicken to a genius, and his physical strength has also been greatly improved, if he eats a few more, Gervais feels that his future cultivation path will be smooth and high.

The more he learned about the power of kiwifruit, the deeper Gervais's obsession with energy points became.

"Let's be honest and cultivate first!"

Shaking his head, Gervais calmed his feelings of gain and loss, picked up the long sword and continued to practice.

……

It was not until noon that Gervais walked out of the cultivation space and walked to the gate of the small courtyard, the vestibule was still full of people, but the inventory and transportation of goods had stopped, and the people who followed the convoy were now sitting at the foot of the city wall, eating lunch in a shady place.

"Your Excellency, you're out!"

Gervais had just walked out of the courtyard when he saw Anna come out of the side and hurriedly saluted him.

"Well, I'm a little hungry. You don't have to wait for me in the vestibule on such a hot day in the future! ”

Gervais nodded at Anna's little maid, this little maid still has a little sweat on her face at the moment, which makes him a little unbearable, after all, Anna is also helping in the morning, and now everyone else is eating, but she is still waiting for herself here.

"My lord, I am your personal maid, of course I will be waiting for you here! Chef Jimmy has prepared lunch, so let's go eat it! ”

Anna respectfully followed Gervais, and the voice felt a little sticky in Gervais's ears.

For the past week, both Anna and the other male and female servants have been arranged by Thomas to be together every day after their work, and listen to him teach the various etiquette and duties of the castle.

After these few days of study, Anna is no longer at the same time as when facing Gervais at the beginning, and can already take the duties of a personal maid to heart.

But this is also what makes Gervais a little regretful, the original cute little maid is often in a hurry, Gervais will find it very interesting to see Anna at a loss, but now Anna is becoming more and more calm, Gervais has not seen Anna make a mistake for a long time, but this has also greatly improved Gervais's quality of life.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Nashen and Dries had not yet arrived, because the guests could only sit down if the host was at the long table, so when Gervais arrived at the restaurant, the two servants rushed to the second floor and invited Nashen and Dries.

"Lord Nashen, Dries, how are you resting in the guest room, if you need anything, you are welcome, just mention it to the servant!"

When Nashen and Dries walked into the restaurant, Gervais greeted them warmly.

"It was nice that the room was much more spacious than my father's castle!"

The first to answer was Dries, I don't know if it was because he didn't have the heart to compare, or because of the hospitality of the monster meat in the morning, Dries no longer had that spiritless appearance.

"Thank you for the compliment, my big brother!"

Gervais was also very happy to see that Dries had returned to normal, after all, Dries was still very good to the original owner and sister before, but he was more arrogant.

"Master Gervais, it's the first time I've lived in the Viscount's castle, and I'm very satisfied!"

Nashen was relieved to see that the two brothers, Gervais and Dries, had finally eased up, he was a vassal of Gandalf, and as long as the Gale family was strong, he would have a good life as a vassal.

"But Master Gervais, it seems that there are still people living in the room next to me, are there any guests in the castle?"

Nashen didn't know that Ike was injured and was living next door to him, and Laurie only spoke to Gandalf in detail, and didn't reveal anything about the territory on the way back.

"Oh, look at this memory of mine, I almost forgot to tell you!"

Gervais patted his head, and then remembered that he forgot to tell them about Ike's injury, Ike had been with Nashen before, and now that Nashen is here, he must talk to him, and the two will rarely have the opportunity to meet in the future.

"Lord Nashen, next door to you lives Ike......"

Gervais told what happened on the night Ike was injured, Nashen and Dries listened quietly, and when they heard that Benny and the three dared to secretly open the castle gate, their brows furrowed, the castle gate of this world is like the gate of the ancient city wall of the earth, and it is absolutely a great thing to open it privately at night.

"That's the way it is, it's good that Ike has a big life, otherwise I really don't know what to do with his wife and children."

"Young Master Gervais, your safety is the most important thing, you should recruit guards as soon as possible!"

After listening to Gervais, Nashen immediately made a suggestion.

"Yes, Gervais, my father used to say that as a nobleman, you can't put your own safety at risk."

"Well, now that the supplies my father gave me have arrived, and I have enough food for the soldiers, I am going to have people go to the territory in the afternoon to inform the selection of guards tomorrow."

Gervais is also quite helpless, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and he also wants to recruit enough strength to protect himself as soon as possible, but unfortunately it was a problem to even feed people some time ago, so he could only delay it again and again.

"Come, let's eat, the food is getting cold!"

Next, Gervais stopped talking about those things, but asked if there was any big news in the principality lately, after all, his territory was too remote and the news was closed.

However, he got a not very good news, the duchy is not big news, but the Jones county has been in trouble recently, and the buffer zone has been encroached upon from time to time like Gervais, which is not a big deal, and there are still a lot of bandits and robbers in some weak noble fiefs in the county.

These circumstances made Gervais feel a sense of urgency, his current strength is too weak, even those old little nobles have been bullied to the point that they can't be decent, if he has a bad relationship with Viscount Lenny this time, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future.

With this in mind, Gervais hastily finished his lunch, and Nashen and Dries went to the second floor to visit Ike, while Gervais found two guards and told them to go to Marina Town and three other villages to inform the lord about the recruitment of guards.

They were informed of the basic requirements for recruitment, men between the ages of 16 and 22, who were physically fit and able-bodied.

After receiving the order, the two guards rode out of the castle on the horses allocated to them, while Gervais continued to enter the cultivation space.
