When Thomas exited the study, Gervais began to search for books on the shelves, and since the last time he saw Cecil's Travels, Gervais had been trying to find similar books on the shelves, but found nothing.

As a viscount, the castle study has a very large collection of books, there are thousands of them, most of them are travelogues or autobiographies of nobles, so Gervais can't judge which books may have the content he wants, so he can only check them one by one, as long as it is a travelogue, and the autobiography of the nobles, he will open and check, but in the face of these heavy books, he doesn't know how to find a content he wants in the year of the monkey, maybe except for "Cecil's Travels", the other books are normal and maybe.

Knock knock~

Just as Gervais was about to take a travelogue from the shelf, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Gervais was a little strange, Thomas had just exited, why did he come to him again, after all, Anna was still sleeping, and Thomas was the only one left in the entire castle who could go upstairs to find him, even if it was other guards, without permission, they couldn't enter the inner castle without permission, let alone run up to the third floor.

"My lord, the guard informed the town's blacksmith that he was outside the castle, and he said he wanted to see you!"

Thomas slowly opened the door of the study, walked in from the outside, and came to Gervais and bowed respectfully, before reporting the matter to Gervais.

"Blacksmith Bernard?"

Gervais was thoughtful, Bernard came to him so late, and he had some vague speculation in his heart.

"Bring him to the study, and bring another cup!"

"Yes, sir!"

Thomas hurriedly agreed, and then quickly exited the study.

Since there were visitors, Gervais also canceled his plan to read the book, went to the sofa in the study, sat down, brought the wine to the square table next to the sofa, poured himself a glass of wine, and waited patiently.

"My lord, Bernard the blacksmith has been brought to the door of the study."

After a few moments, Thomas walked in alone.

"Well, let him in, you go about your own business."

"Yes, sir!"

Thomas carefully placed the cup he had just brought on the square table, and then bowed respectfully and continued to leave.

The etiquette of the nobles in this world is very cumbersome, don't look at Gervais is very casual, that is because Gervais is a baron lord, and he can do whatever he wants in his castle, but outsiders or servants must abide by these etiquettes.

"My lord, please forgive me for bothering you at such a late hour!"

After Thomas had withdrawn, Bernard entered the study, without curiosity or restraint, but walked quickly in front of Gervais and saluted respectfully.

"Haha, nothing to disturb, Mr. Bernard sit down and talk, you have come to the right place today, I got a good thing today, and you should also come and taste it."

For talents, Gervais is very important, and he is also very happy to have a corporal Lixian, thanks to the memory of the earth, he can perform in place without pretending, after all, the nobles of this world are used to being high, even if someone wants to be a corporal, it is impossible to be as natural as Gervais.

As he spoke, Gervais had already scooped a spoonful of wine into the glass Thomas had brought.

"Thank you, Lord Lord."

Hearing Gervais's words, Bernard was no longer polite, and after saluting and thanking him, he sat respectfully on the sofa on the side, and only after sitting down did he glance at the jar on the table, when he entered the room, he already smelled the special smell of sweetness, but he was a person with great self-control, and he did not look at the source of the tempting fragrance before sitting down.

"Here, taste it."

After Bernard sat down, Gervais saw Bernard's movements, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then put the wine that had just been poured in front of Bernard, Bernard was the only person Gervais couldn't see, even Brian's alchemist didn't give Gervais such a feeling, which made Gervais have some illusions, ordinary people should be as unthreatening as children in front of the title knight, but Brian made Gervais feel like a black hole, bottomless, It's just that Gervais is very sure that Bernard is not a knight of titles.

"Thank you, Lord."

Gervais was able to pass the glass to the square table in front of him, which no longer regarded Bernard's status as a low-class commoner, for which Bernard sincerely thanked Gervais again, and then took the wine on the table and drank it.

There is no doubt that wine is delicious, Rao has always been calm, Bernard's eyes lit up after tasting the deliciousness of wine, he was reluctant to put down his glass, and tasted several sips in a row before he stopped.

"My lord, are you wine?"

After a few sips and savoring them, Bernard finally let out a sigh of surprise.

"Yes, Golden Wine! Only I have it here, and the castle will make and sell this wine in the future. ”

Gervais nodded and smiled in reply to Bernard, feeling politely almost polite, and began to ask about the matter.

"Bernard, I wonder what you came to me tonight for?"

"Good luck, lord!"

After sincerely complimenting Gervais, Bernard straightened his body, the look of surprise on his face receded, and he slowly stated the purpose of his trip.

"My lord, I took the liberty of bothering you so late, but it was actually for the sake of my son Alec."

"Alec? Don't know what's going on with Alec? ”

After Bernard spoke, Gervais knew that his guess was correct, Bernard was indeed here for Alec to become a guard, but letting Alec become a guard was his indirect means of controlling Bernard, since the fish had been hooked, of course Gervais had no reason to let go, so he was dressed in a confused way, and asked a little puzzled.

"That's right, Alec secretly enlisted as your guard behind my back this afternoon, and I would like to ask the lord if he can be gracious and relieved of his status as a guard."

Seeing that Gervais looked incomprehensible, Bernard rarely faded his usual calmness, showed a hint of request, and asked Gervais respectfully.

Alec had already expressed his allegiance to Gervais in the afternoon, and it was in public, unless Gervais took the initiative to announce the dissolution of their allegiance, otherwise Alec would not perform his duties at that time, as long as Gervais wanted to do it, then there would be enough reason to hang Alec on the wooden pole as a flag.

"Oh, Alec actually hid it from you, I thought you agreed, my subordinates were going to eliminate him, or Alec himself was not convinced, and made trouble there, I saw that he was your son, so I gave him a chance and recruited him, for which my guard quota was increased from 30 to 31, I didn't expect it to be self-defeating, it's just that Alec likes to be a guard so much, and after becoming a guard, it's no worse than striking iron, how can you object?"

Gervais suddenly came to his senses, briefly mentioned the events of noon, and began to ask why.

"My lord, Alec is my only son, and if he doesn't follow me to make iron, our family's blacksmithing skills will be lost in my generation."

Bernard had already learned in detail about how Alec had become a guard, and that was why he was so eager to come to the castle to ask Gervais to remove Alec's allegiance and guard.

"Bernard, this is your mistake, Alec's ideal is to become a nobleman, do you think it is better to be a blacksmith or to become a nobleman, and Alec is born with divine powers, if he just strikes iron, he will be a blacksmith for the rest of his life."
