After encouraging the five dejected guards, Gervais rode back to the castle on horseback again.

Gervais wasn't going to eat with the recruits, and if he was in the castle, he could have eaten with the guards.

But outside the castle, if the serfs see it, publicize it, and let other nobles know, they will definitely spurn Gervais, as a nobleman, he actually eats with these lowly people, he will definitely lose the identity of the lord, this aristocratic identity is not only Gervais himself, but the aristocratic status of the entire continent will be lowered by Gervais.

After returning to the castle, Gervais went to the vestibule after enjoying his meal in the dining room, and stayed in a mill where wheat was milled, not because he wanted to experience the folk labor of grinding wheat himself, but because he wanted to start preparing black powder.

What happened in the dark forest in the morning made him extremely angry, his lord was robbed by a demonic beast, and also robbed half of the purple kiwifruit worth a lot of money, although through the morning experiment, Gervais had some guesses about the efficacy of the purple kiwifruit, but it was not enough to make up for his loss.

Gervais thought that the purple kiwifruit should be used by the monsters, after all, humans smell very strange, but the birds and the unicorn are flocking to it, as if they have seen some treasure.

It's just that Gervais doesn't have a Warcraft for him to experiment on now, so he can only hide in the panel and wait for the opportunity to meet a living Warcraft to experiment again in the future.

The unicorn's field Gervais is also ready to find it back, after all, this is his own shame, and Gervais is also very greedy for the unicorn's body, such as the unicorn's meat, Gervais estimated that the unicorn is at least two meters tall, sturdy, at least a thousand eight hundred pounds of meat, that is a golden gold coin, just to recover some of his losses.

The most precious thing is that the light blue horn of the unicorn is like a crystal awl, it is said that the horn of the unicorn can cure all kinds of poisons, although it cannot be determined whether it is true or false, but as long as it is taken out and sold, it is definitely a lot of income, after all, unicorns are extremely rare, and they are even rarer and rarer than high-level magical beasts.

As for subduing the unicorn, with Gervais's cultivation, he would not fight this idea, even if he called his father and cheap wife to help, with the stubborn temper of the unicorn, as long as he could not be subdued with one move, it would definitely be a fish to the death.

Catching the unicorn requires a slow submission like an eagle, and Gervais admits he doesn't have the ability to do that.

Since unicorns like kiwifruit, after Gervais made gunpowder, he made a simple grenade, smeared the juice of kiwifruit on it, waited for the unicorn to take the bait, and then lit the fuse and threw it out.

"Haha, tell you to rob me, tell you to eat my kiwifruit, this time I will explode on the spot, my things are so easy to rob?"

"My lord, you've got everything you wanted!"

When Gervais arrived at the mill, the two manservants had already brought a lot of things, including sulfur and charcoal, as well as stones, flour and other seven or eight things, in order to prevent the leakage of the formula of gunpowder, Gervais added a few things randomly, and the nitrate was brought by Gervais himself, these nitrates were the ones that made ice yesterday, and they could continue to be used after reprocessing.

"Okay, there's nothing to do with you here, you can go down first."

"Yes, sir!"

After the two male servants left, Gervais began to get busy, and he also remembered the general process of making black powder clearly, first mixing it in proportion, then soaking, compacting, and then carefully mashing and sifting after drying, and finally you can get black powder with uniform particle size, only when the gunpowder of uniform size is burned, it can be sufficient, otherwise one large and one small will burn unevenly, and it will not be able to exert the greatest power at all.

Gervais is not going to make it in large quantities today, but first fine-tunes the three raw materials to make different proportions of black powder, and see which one has the best effect, and after achieving the effect that he is satisfied with, he will start to make it in large quantities.

Because the amount of black powder produced was not large, the process of making it did not take much time, and after Gervais made three gunpowder balls according to different proportions, he took the three gunpowder balls that had been soaked and compacted outside the house, and found a place where the sun could not directly dry them, so hot weather, even if the sun could not reach directly, it could be completely dry in an afternoon.

After doing everything, Gervais washed his hands, and then came to the vestibule, and just as Gervais walked through the vestibule, there was a faint feeling of touch in his heart, which made him a little puzzled.

"How can I feel this way, but it's not like the fluctuating feeling that Vali and Betty brought me?"

Because Gervais was in the castle at the moment, if it was Betty and Vali's mental fluctuations, Gervais would definitely be able to feel it very clearly, and the breath of both of them was familiar to Gervais, this faint fluctuation was something he had never felt before.

Stopping and thinking for a moment, Gervais was still a little uneasy, after all, doubts are doubts, two elf worms are incomparably valuable treasures for Gervais, he didn't dare to slack off, so he changed his direction and walked towards the door of the inner fort, just at this moment he happened to see Anna who had finished lunch, so he shouted to Anna: "Anna, you don't have to follow me in the afternoon, you go to the study to accompany Betty and Vali, help me take care of them." ”

There was no running for this afternoon's recruit training, so it only needed to be done outside the castle, and it was fitting for Anna to stay in the study to keep Betty and Vali from the sun and keep the little maid's fair and tender skin from tanning.

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing Gervais's shout, Anna quickly stopped her steps, saluted respectfully, and then turned and walked briskly towards the inner fort.

"Hope is my delusion."

It wasn't until Anna walked through the door of the Inner Castle that Gervais muttered.

This inexplicable feeling of touch was just fleeting, which made Gervais feel a little unreal, but after thinking about it carefully, there should be nothing missing except for the elf worm himself, and now that the elf worm has Anna to take care of, he is also very relieved, so Gervais no longer thinks deeply, and walks towards the castle gate, and now it is important to train his guards well.

Because the training ground was just outside the castle, Gervais walked out of the castle gate on foot without riding a horse.

……

"Your Excellency!"

"Your Lord!"

"Lord Lord!"

Gervais walked out of the castle gate, but he didn't expect to meet Thomas who had just returned from going out, and there were more than thirty people standing behind Thomas, among which more than a dozen serfs were still holding hoes and sticks, which made Gervais a little confused.

Thomas went to the territory in the morning to announce that he knew about what Gervais had told him last night, but how could he bring so many serfs to the castle, and several serfs around him acted as if they were going to fight, and they held their hoes and sticks before kneeling down to salute, as if they were about to start.

"Thomas, what's going on?"

Thomas's prudence and obedience were Gervais's impression of him, so Gervais knew that there must be something going on in the castle where Thomas had brought so many serfs, so he asked in an easy-going tone.

"My lord, I went to the town and the three villages this morning according to your orders, and when I reached the village on the edge of the dark forest, I met their village chief, who was carrying more than twenty people to the castle, and I heard from the village chief that these people were caught in the woods and in the fields last night, and some of them were stealing from the crops when they were caught."

Thomas hurriedly stepped forward and reported what had happened to Gervais.
