Chapter 174: The Return of the Caravan (Monthly Pass Plus Update)

"My lord! Do you really have your guards tame these horses? These war horses are rare for even the nobles to have! ”

On the edge of the racecourse, Kenny, as the steward of the stables, has been by Gervais's side today, and he felt a little distressed to know that Gervais had asked these ordinary people to tame the war horses, so he had the audacity to ask Gervais carefully.

Kenny's words to Gervais were not disguised, and immediately reached the ears of the guards on the side, who all looked at Gervais with worried looks, and incidentally developed a trace of hostility towards Kenny, after all, Kenny's words were likely to make them lose the opportunity to own a warhorse.

"Kenny, I know that these war horses are rare to have even some knighted knights, but my lord I don't have knights under my command, it's a pity that these horses are kept like this, and I don't plan to sell them, it's better to let my guards tame and use them earlier, although they are not worthy of these horses now, but I believe that they will be worthy of them in the future!"

"One more thing, there will be more such excellent war horses in the future, you don't have to worry!"

Gervais glanced at Kenny at this moment, but he didn't expect that in front of the guards, Kenny was not afraid of offending them, and bluntly admonished them, so Gervais explained to Kenny in detail.

As long as the unicorn and the mares were there, Gervais was not worried about not getting such a good war horse in the future.

After speaking to Kenny, Gervais glanced around the guards behind him.

After hearing Gervais's words just now, a guard's eyes looking at Gervais at this moment were full of love, especially Gervais's last sentence, which represented Gervais's affirmation of them.

This made these serf guards feel warm for the first time in the eyes of nobles and commoners, who had been like cattle since childhood.

In fact, before they became guards, they themselves felt that they were no different from livestock, but from this moment on, they knew that their lord regarded them as human beings.

"Yes, my lord!"

Kenny cherishes BMWs, and Gervais reuses him, so he is not afraid of offending the guards, but since Gervais said so, Kenny does not dare to say anything more, and immediately bows down.

"Alright, now you can get on the field! Ike, come first! ”

There were a total of 13 horses in the stable, and the remaining 5 were 1 foal and 4 mares, all of which were kept in the stables today and were not brought along.

"Yes, sir!"

With Gervais's order, both Ike and Audri and the guards were shocked, clenched their fists and became excited, and began to fantasize about what they would look like on this tall horse.

Of course, although the horse will be their exclusive mount in the future, it does not mean that the horse will belong to them, they only have the right to use it, but not the right to own it, unless Gervais said to reward them directly, just as Gandalf rewarded the war horse to Nashen, otherwise, these horses are still the property of Gervais.

Of course, even if it is only the right to use, it is a great gift for these guards.

……

As the guards mounted their horses, their training became even busier, and in addition to training on the ground, riding practice was also added to the schedule, and three days after obtaining the horses, the arquebus that Gervais had built for them was handed over to them.

Because Gervais had them practice shooting with wooden sticks at the beginning, the guards were able to shoot effectively very quickly, although they couldn't shoot every shot, but they could hit six shots with ten shots at a distance of fifty meters, and this was still the effect after only four or five days of training.

Shooting accuracy has improved, but reloading is still a bit slow, barely maintaining a rate of firing once a minute, and although Gervais is not very satisfied, this time will gradually decrease as he practices more and more.

Gervais vaguely remembered that the rate of fire of the arquebus on Earth was basically two shots a minute, so Gervais was not very demanding, as long as the guards could reach the reload rate of two shots a minute, he would be satisfied.

The current reloading speed of one shot a minute by the guards is still due to the small wooden bottles specially made by Gervais for a quantitative charge, such small wooden bottles are equipped with 10 per person, and a fixed amount of gunpowder is already filled inside, which can be poured directly when reloading.

If it weren't for this small wooden bottle, like Gervais's first test of muskets, a reload would have taken five minutes, and the guards would certainly not be much better than Gervais by now.

The training of the guards is in full swing, and Gervais's own bronze mid-level strength has also stabilized, but because he practiced "Stealth Secret Technique II", now outsiders can only find out that Gervais is a bronze beginner-level knight.

Gervais's "Stealth Secret Technique II" is just getting started, and it can only cover up his cultivation of one realm, but this is in line with Gervais's expectations, after all, many people now know that he has become a knight, if he suddenly becomes an ordinary person, then the fool will find out about his abnormality.

……

At this moment, more than twenty days have passed since the departure of the caravan, Gervais is wandering around the vineyards, looking at the thick vines, Gervais has already blossomed, the rhizomes of these vines are each 10 centimeters thick, and some even reach 12 centimeters, Gervais can hardly imagine how many years it will take for these vines to grow so thick.

"Your Lord!"

When Gervais came to one of the largest vines, a middle-aged woman spotted Gervais and immediately knelt on the ground and greeted Gervais.

"Get up! I'm just taking a casual look, you're busy with yours. ”

"Thank you, sir!"

The middle-aged woman was Anna's mother, and after she recovered from her illness, the fields had been abandoned for several months and could not be cultivated this year.

And although Gervais's vine is in the space, it also needs to be pruned and watered regularly, so such an easy thing Gervais is of course ready to hand over to the servants or relatives of the guards in his castle, and Gervais first thought of Anna's little maid.

For Gervais's preference, Anna's little maid was of course very grateful, and immediately agreed for her mother, after all, her mother is only one person, if she ploughs the fields, she will definitely not be busy, but taking care of the grapes in the space is an easy thing, and she can get a lot of salary, three copper plates a day, which is the price offered by Gervais.

"My lord! Thomas the Butler is back! ”

Just as Gervais wanted to continue to check the growth of the vines, Anna's call came from behind him.

"Finally back?"

For the caravan, Gervais was eager to see if his business plan was viable, and secondly, he was too poor, Brian still owed money, and Gervais was not a person who liked to owe money.

Gervais no longer bothered to inspect the vineyard and hurriedly ran out of the grape space.

"Mother!"

Gervais stepped out of the grape space, and instead of immediately following her, Anna shouted to her mother.

"Anna, you've grown up, and your mother is proud of you!"

Anna's mother glanced at her daughter with pity, if it weren't for her own daughter, she would probably have left this world because of her illness, and now not only is she cured, but it is because of Anna that she has obtained this easy job, which makes her feel that she owes Anna too much to her daughter.

However, although Anna's mother wanted to talk more to her daughter, she knew that her daughter was the personal maid of the lord and could not stay here for too long, so she suppressed more words in her heart.

"Let's go, don't delay the lord's affairs!"

"Yes, Mother!"

Anna responded obediently, with a happy smile on her face, and then walked out of the space quickly.
