Chapter 81: The Distress After Having Energy Points (2nd Update)
Mithril ore looks like a large block, but after smelting, there is not much left, Gervais estimates that a basketball-sized ore can only get high-purity Mithril the size of a corn kernel at most, and the smelting ratio of ore to Mithril is terrifyingly low.
After more than an hour of non-stop labor by Gervais and Nashen, all the Mithril ore was finally smelted in half an hour.
"Whew! I'm tired, Lord Nashen, and if I were alone, I'd probably be busy until dawn. ”
Throwing the last piece of ore into the furnace, Gervais finally breathed a sigh of relief, even if his qi sea is larger than others and can run continuously for more than an hour, but that is also his limit, if it weren't for the fact that in order to avoid the secret exposure of his qi sea halfway, Gervais deliberately rested for a short while, and he would definitely be tired and collapsed on the ground.
"Young Master Gervais is polite, young master, you are really good now, it's hard to imagine that you didn't have anything outstanding in cultivation back then, and now you may be on par with Miss Bonita, it's really unbelievable."
Na Shen smiled and shook his head and said that this is what he should do, but at the same time, he was surprised that Gervais has improved so quickly, compared to before, it is completely like a different person, there is no magic medicine in this world that can improve people's cultivation talent, the only cheat is just the cultivation space, Gervais has not seen him for a few days, and the breakthrough made Na Shen puzzled.
"Hehe, I used to be afraid of hardship and tiredness in cultivation, thinking that with my father's protection, even if I didn't cultivate, it would be fine, but since I knew that I would live alone, and my territory was very dangerous, I began to work hard to cultivate, and I didn't expect to break through so quickly to become a knight, maybe the glory of knighthood shrouded me."
Gervais pretended to be a salted fish turning over, and the prodigal son turned back, and by the way, he also moved out the glory boss, as for Na Shen or not, it doesn't matter, the low-level bronze knights, the big nobles can't open their eyes, and they don't have time to investigate the reasons for his breakthrough, let alone Nashen and Gandalf.
"Haha, maybe Master Gervais is really shrouded in knightly glory, Lord Gandalf would definitely be very pleased to know that Master Gervais is so good."
Whoever the knight's glory covers, it has always been someone else's words to praise the nobles, but the nobles will not praise themselves with this sentence, Nashen heard that Gervais actually boasted of the glory of the knight, and couldn't help laughing, and he didn't care why Gervais broke through so quickly, with Gervais's current age, plus the cultivation space, it is only at the upper middle level.
As the two spoke, all the ore in the furnace had been refined, and all the Mithril had flowed out of the groove into the earthen container used to hold the liquid Mithril.
Seeing that the Mithril in the container had slowly solidified as the temperature dropped, and the color had changed from fiery red to silvery-white, Gervais couldn't wait to break the container with a hammer and take out the Mithril inside completely.
"Hey, that's too light!" Five carts of Mithril ore were finally exchanged for a baseball-sized high-purity Mithril, but the weight in his hand made Gervais a little speechless, and it was only more than two hundred grams at most.
The book describes that Mithril is much lighter than other metals, but Gervais didn't expect it to be so light, a baseball-sized piece of Mithril weighs only a few eggs.
"Young Master Gervais, don't think it's too little, this is already a relatively high content of ore, some low-content ore, even ten cars can smelt such a little bit in your hand."
Seeing that Gervais looked dissatisfied, Nashen explained with a wry smile.
To be honest, looking at the Mithril nugget that Gervais was holding in his hand, Nashen was a little red-eyed, knowing that he needed to accumulate a lifetime of wealth to be able to afford such a piece of ore.
"Hehe, it's not that I think it's less, it's just that I'm a little surprised how it's so light."
Although the Mithril in his hand is light and small, Mithril is a unit calculated in grams, and one gram can be exchanged for 10 gold coins.
"Now that the smelting is complete, Lord Nashen, let's rest tonight. I'll hold a celebration for you tomorrow. ”
"Okay, Master Gervais, I have to say that the cook in your castle is one of the best I have ever met, and I am looking forward to tomorrow, haha."
Nashen was also quite happy today, and when he heard Gervais mention the celebration banquet, he thought that none of the soldiers he brought with him died, and he laughed happily.
After everything was done, it was late at night, Gervais and Nashen returned to the inner fort, and then their own servants led Nashen to wash and rest, and Gervais also walked back to the third floor.
"Your Excellency, you're done!" Gervais walked into the hallway on the third floor, and Anna heard the movement and emerged from the study.
"Well, I'm done, Anna, why don't you sleep yet." Anna, the little maid, has been recognized by Gervais for her performance these days, so Gervais cares a lot about her.
"I don't dare to sleep before the adults sleep, but Butler Thomas made it very clear when he lectured that he was responsible for being a personal servant."
Anna's bright eyes were very smart, and her tone was sticky, and when she heard Gervais's question, she immediately replied respectfully.
In the past two days, Anna has lost the initial nervousness and panic, but she also knows the responsibilities of the personal maid, and is meticulously learning the rules taught by Thomas to demand herself.
"My lord, the bath water has been prepared for you, you can bathe now."
"Well, thank you, Anna. You go to sleep now, I went straight to sleep after taking a shower, nothing else! ”
"Okay, my lord, I've already told Butler Thomas about the results of tonight's statistics, and you have a statistical table in your study."
"Oh, that's good. Then you go and rest! ”
"Yes, sir, good night, sir."
After Anna left, Gervais went into the study to get the paper of the counts, and then returned to the hallway and entered the bathroom.
Sitting in the warm bath, Gervais checked the paper in his hand.
The food was enough for a hundred people to eat for three months, and there were more than 150 sets of long swords and leather armor, more than 50 small round shields, and three sets of iron armor worn by bronze knights.
Because the battle is too fierce, many weapons and equipment have been damaged and cannot be used, especially the leather armor is the most lost, there are more than 30 long swords that can be used after grinding, and the leather armor is very few, only more than ten sets are intact, and the other leather armor has been more or less damaged, and the iron pieces on it can only be taken off as iron materials.
But Gervais doesn't care, his main goal tonight is ore, the rest doesn't matter, getting five carts of Mithril ore is already a big profit, tonight's loot is finished, Gervais put the note next to the pool, and now he finally has time to check the panel.
Can't wait to open the panel, Gervais saw the 10-point energy point, and a happy smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Hehe, I didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly." He always thought that he would not have a chance to get 10 energy points at once this year, but the world is impermanent, and he got it in just a few days.
"What color kiwi fruit should you choose, looking at the exchange mall on the panel, Gervais thought happily, getting ten energy points at a time, of course he would not be stupid enough to use it to find elf worms.
"Do you still choose the golden fruit?" The effect of the golden fruit brought a great surprise to Gervais, so he coveted the golden fruit.
It's just that in addition to the golden fruit, the other fruits must also be extraordinary, and he hasn't taken it yet, what if the other fruits also have miraculous effects.
"When you don't have energy points, you worry all day long, how can you have energy points, it's nerve-wracking, it's all because of poverty!"
Gervais leaned back in the bath, distressed, and finally knew why the rich worked harder than the poor, because people can never have too much money (power points).
