Chapter 217: Caroline's Dependence

Back in his private room, Gervais ate and drank with Igor and Pat for a while, and then returned to Rose Castle.

Before leaving, Gervais gave Igor two jugs of wine, one for him and one for Anthony, although the wine is not enough to sell now, but for those who show goodwill to him, Gervais is not stingy, after all, he does not know when he will be able to use it.

After returning to Rose Castle, Gervais went directly to the study on the third floor and looked through the books, Gervais planned to take advantage of the next few days to read more books in the study.

Gervais had been reading books in the study for more than half an hour when he heard footsteps outside the door, and as the study door was opened, Alice entered gracefully from the outside.

"Coming back?"

Seeing Alice walk into the study, Gervais raised his head and asked.

Although Alice is also wearing a long dress today, which sets off her tall and well-proportioned figure to the fullest, it is not as revealing as Caroline, and the long skirt Alice is wearing with half-sleeves and beautiful lace sleeves on her forearms.

Alice nodded to Gervais, although her expression was still cold, but it was much softer than when she was angry, and it was obvious that Alice was in a good mood at the moment.

Alice walked directly to Gervais and sat down on the sofa, and only after sitting down did she ask Gervais, "How did you and Caroline meet?" ”

Hearing Alice's question, Gervais put the book in his hand on the desk, and then began to tell Alice about what happened that day at Snowy Manor, as well as about the bet with Kevin.

At this time, Alice suddenly realized that this is how Gervais's shop came, as a big city under the seat of the earl, of course there are many spies of the Jones family in Winterfell, but the snowy manor belongs to the property of the lord of the north, in order to respect the lord of the north who loves her, Alice did not install spies in the snowy manor, so she only knows about this matter now.

Of course, if there is any important information on a regular basis, the Snowy Manor will also share it with Rose Castle.

As for Kevin's side, such a humiliating thing, of course, he is reluctant to publicize it, especially not to let Alice know.

"Today Caroline invited me to a banquet and talked to me about two things, the first was about wine and the second was about you......"

For Caroline and Kevin to be so upright and bright and want to put a hat on themselves, of course Gervais will not give them a good time, at least remind himself of this cheap wife, of course, there is a little selfishness in this, such a beautiful goddess of coldness, I can't get it, of course Gervais doesn't want others to get it.

After listening to Gervais's detailed description, Alice was not surprised or angry, but nodded and said: "I know this matter, you don't have to worry about it, in fact, the rumor that I was in love with Kevin was Caroline fanning the flames on the side, so that everyone believed Kevin's words." ”

"Isn't Caroline a child of the Solem family? It's also your cousin, so what's in it for her? ”

When Gervais heard this, he felt a bit like a palace fighting drama, but there was one thing that he couldn't figure out, that is, what good would this be for Caroline?

Is it because of jealousy? Gervais felt that his guess was somewhat likely, after all, every time he said that Alice was prettier than Caroline, Caroline would react strongly.

"That's exactly what I want to say to you, Caroline, in addition to being the child of House Solem, she's also the eldest prince's fiancée!"

"Something like today, you'd better not happen again in the future, because if the eldest prince knows, he will never allow anyone to take advantage of Caroline."

Alice's royal blue eyes fell on Gervais, and seeing what Gervais wanted to explain, Alice continued: "Even if Caroline does it on purpose, for those who have power, right or wrong does not matter, and the strength is the criterion for judging things. ”

Gervais instantly figured out why Caroline could boast that Haikou could settle the problem of her buffer zone with Lanny, and Kevin, although he was the third son of the earl, followed Caroline like a younger brother, all because of the eldest prince.

Caroline pimped Kevin, Alice is now a nest, and all the big nobles in the principality want to take a bite on the Jones family, and the strongest of them is of course the king's three fathers and sons.

The king didn't care which of his sons the Jones family would end up with, but the eldest prince and the second prince didn't think so, and they both desperately wanted to take the Jones family into their own hands and become a helping person to ascend to the throne in the future.

And the last thing they want to see is that the Jones family is pocketed by the other party, so both sides have used a lot of means to fight for Alice.

Even if the nest had already been bitten by a fly like Gervais, they didn't mind, and they could just get rid of it when the time came.

Now the duchy is relatively calm on the surface, but there is an undercurrent in the shadows, all due to the disappearance of the Jones family's strongest deterrent.

……

……

For the next few days, Gervais continued his previous two days, going to the orc arena with Pat every morning.

During these three days, Gervais had good luck, allowing him to gain 5 power points, which he obtained by bidding for the brave to execute orcs with gold coins.

Of course, not every gladiatorial fight in the gladiatorial arena was won by humans, and a total of 6 gladiatorial battles were fought in the gladiatorial arena during these three days, twice a day, and two of the 6 ended with humans being slaughtered by orcs.

In the end, it was the Title Knight who was dispatched to the gladiatorial arena to finish, so that those dead humans were left with all their corpses, and it was these two failed gladiatorial battles in which Gervais did not gain energy points.

And the other 1 energy point is that Gervais opened Eve's space, and personally led the guards to kill the orcs to obtain, and the place to open up the space was also in the gladiatorial arena, with Lina's warrant, Gervais easily entered the unmanned gladiatorial arena in the evening.

Gervais didn't encounter many orcs this time like the first time, this time Eve opened a total of 8 orcs in the orc space, and it was a jackal that was quite similar to the kobold, although the jackal was slightly stronger than the kobold, and the speed of movement was faster, but in the face of the guards armed to the teeth, they could only be pressed and beaten.

And Gervais is just for the power point, so he didn't give the orc leader the opportunity to show his skills like last time, and when the orc leader just came out of space, Gervais split him in half with a crit and three swords.

In addition to the power points, Gervais also collected 685 gold coins in his pocket in the past few days, of which 670 gold coins were sold for wine, and the reputation of golden wine spread throughout Winterfell on the second day of opening.

A total of 670 jugs were sold in three days, and it was not until three days later, as most of the nobles had already bought the golden wines, that sales slowly slowed down.

And the sales of ice cream in the past few days are also hot, and it has earned 15 gold coins for Gervais, you must know that a can of ice cream is only 2 silver coins, and 15 gold coins are equivalent to more than 750 cans of ice cream sold.
