Chapter 132: The Gift of a Local Tyrant
The two walked through the vestibule happily, talking and laughing, and after entering the inner fort, Thomas hurriedly came to the front to lead the way, leading the two to the front of the hall, and the waiting manservant had already opened the door of the hall.
The usual simple hall has also changed, although there are still few decorations around, but there are also a lot of gold and silver utensils used for decoration, although only gilded, but also bring a little luxury to the hall, these decorations are also purchased under Thomas's arrangement, because they are gilded and silver-plated, so they are usually collected, so as not to lose their luster after frequent scrubbing.
"Baron Pat, please take a seat, because I have only been in the territory for a short time, and the castle is still too simple, please don't be surprised!"
After the two entered the hall, the two sat opposite each other in the seats of host and guest under the guidance of the servants.
As the two of them sat down, the men who had already been prepared rushed in from outside the hall, the men and women held the tray with their left hand behind their back and their right hand, each with graceful steps, the tray was filled with fruit cakes and juice, and one of the servants brought two bowls of colorful ice cream in his hand, and the servants entered the hall and carefully placed the same food on the small square table next to the sofa of Gervais and Pat.
However, Pat's eyes were not on the servants and the food, but on the stormwolf's snow-white fur on Gervais's sofa and the slightly hideous wolf head on the armrest.
"Lord Gervais, is this the storm wolf you hunted?"
"Yes, Baron Pat, this is the same storm wolf that invaded my territory some time ago and was killed by me!"
Gervais didn't think much about it, but thought that Warcraft were not very common, so Baron Pat asked casually under the novelty.
"Baron Gervais is so mighty!"
Getting Gervais's affirmative answer, the smile on Pat's face was even worse, and his already small eyes narrowed even smaller, seeing that Gervais was a little inexplicable, this is me who killed the storm wolf, and you didn't kill it, is it necessary to be so happy?
Pat complimented Gervais, as if he remembered something again, and first said to Gervais with a slight apology: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot an important thing!" ”
Then he turned to his personal valet and commanded, "Tren, go and get the gift I have prepared for Baron Gervais!" You idiot, why didn't you just remind me"
"Yes, sir!"
The valet named Trun, who heard Pat's whisper, did not dare to refute, but only answered respectfully, and then ran out of the hall as quickly as possible.
After a few moments, Tren returned to the hall with a box, but instead of walking up to Pat, Tren went straight to Gervais and handed it to Anna.
"Baron Gervais, this visit is very disturbing, this little gift is for you, I hope our friendship can be like a river of dead leaves, and it will last a long time!"
The thing Tren handed out was a jade box, which was the same jade box used to store the elven worms.
At this moment, the jade box has been opened by Tren, and I saw that there was a purple elf worm inside, and this purple elf worm should have just been born, and it was still eating, facing the onlookers in the hall without noticing, only caring that there were a few amber fragments beside him.
Looking at the cute elf worm, Gervais felt a little blocked in his chest, is this the life of a local tyrant? Is this how all local tyrants make friends? So arrogant and inhumane!
However, surprise is surprise, no merit is not subject to Grewis still knows, if the gift given by Pat is only worth three or five gold coins, then Gervais will not hesitate to accept it, but this elf worm is at least worth dozens of hundreds of gold coins.
And this purple elf insect is something that Gervais has never seen, since it is a mutated elf insect, its value is generally not lower than that of a green elf insect, so Gervais is not ready to accept it.
Seeing that Gervais didn't make a sound, Anna looked at the jade box and the elven worm handed over by Tren, but she didn't dare to take it, so she could only wait for Gervais's orders.
"Baron Pat, this gift of yours is too valuable, I can't accept it, it's already my honor for you to come to my castle as a guest, please take this elf worm back!"
After clearing his throat, Gervais politely declined to Pat in a sincere tone.
"Baron Gervais, please listen to my explanation, although the gift I gave is an elven worm, but its value is not as valuable as you think, it is also a coincidence, this purple elven worm was also born yesterday, this time I was about to visit your new neighbor, I can't think of what gift I can give you for a while, so I think it is most appropriate to give him to you."
"Purple elf insects are very rare, and they are more rare than other mutated elven insects, just because their abilities are too unique, so the elven insects of this color are generally not used by the nobles, and they are basically sold to the church, or put away as a collection, which causes this color of elven insects to be rare among the nobles."
"Oh? There is such a thing! I really haven't seen a purple elf worm, and I don't even know what he is capable of. ”
Hearing Pat's explanation, Gervais nodded, he really didn't know about the purple elf worm, this was the first time he had seen it, and he didn't know what the function of the purple elf worm's space was.
"It's normal that Baron Gervais doesn't know, and I only learned last year that there are purple elf insects in the world."
For Gervais's confession, Pat smiled and looked at Gervais's eyes, and did not feel more proud because he knew more than Gervais, and Pat continued to recount under Gervais's curious gaze.
"The difference between the purple elven insect and other colored elven insects is that there are creatures in the space it opens up!"
"What, there are creatures in the space of the purple elf worm?"
Now Gervais was really surprised, the elf insect himself has two different colors, and he has also seen the green elf insect in Gandalf's castle, but whether it is a green elf insect or a golden elf insect, the space they have opened up is free of life, at most it only has some small grass or trees and other vegetation, Pat's short sentence subverted Gervais's perception of the elf insect.
"Yes, Baron Gervais, it does have creatures, and it is...... Orcs! ”
Pat dropped a bombshell again, and Gervais wondered if he was dreaming today, but Pat continued to talk to himself.
"The first time I saw the Purple Elf Worm was in the gladiatorial arena of Winterfell! It was built under the order of the king, and the king's order was only issued last year, every earl's city must have a gladiatorial arena that can accommodate 10,000 people, and the only function of this gladiatorial arena is to release the orcs in the purple space for warriors to fight against orcs! ”
"Two months ago, it was the completion of the gladiatorial arena in Winterfell and the first gladiatorial tournament was held, and at that time I rushed over to watch it, and for the first time I learned about the existence of the purple elf worm and its functions!"
Finally, Pat told Gervais in detail about the functions of the purple elf worm and how he knew about these things.
