Chapter 247: A Lot
Eventually, Gervais received a purple elf and three elven worms plus 500 gold coins from Boris.
Gervais was very satisfied with this, and in exchange for the purple elf, Gervais actually had a small abacus.
Although the elves are more cute and agile than the elf insects, the number of orcs in the space opened up by the purple elves is too large, and there are only a hundred people under Gervais's hands plus slave soldiers, and the biggest reason for Gervais to kill orcs is to earn energy points, since the purple elf insects can get a little energy points, why use purple elves to make trouble for themselves.
As for Gervais not exchanging the two elf elves, this is because Gervais's desire to collect is also troublesome, and this time Boris only brought three elven worms, and there is no way for him to take out three more elven worms if he wants to exchange them.
So one purple elf plus three elf worms, this is the most satisfying match for Gervais.
……
When Gervais settled all the bets, today's gladiatorial arena activities will be over.
Alice made a few brief remarks on the stage, and then walked out of the center stand first, followed by the other nobles in the center stand, and finally it was the turn of the ordinary spectators who were still commenting on the fierce battle of the day to leave.
Alice, as a countess, has a different means of transportation from Gervais and others, it is a luxurious and spacious carriage, much more luxurious than Pat's, and Gervais guesses that Pat's carriage was imitated from this one, because in addition to the degree of luxury, Pat's carriage is eight points similar to the one in front of him.
Alice's carriage was ahead, and Gervais and Gandalf followed behind on horseback.
The five wounded guards, plus Bertram, were all carried on stretchers by the guards to be taken to Fort Rose for care.
Along the way, the streets were crowded with people, whether they were commoners, wealthy merchants, or small nobles, they all craned their necks to look at the carriage and Gervais and his party, and from time to time they pointed as if they were looking at the animals in a zoo.
Of course, the nobles did not feel that they were being treated as monkeys to show them, but they all held their chests quite majestic.
Gervais sat on his horse in the group but didn't say a word, looking intently ahead as he was checking his system panel.
Gervais killed three orc leaders today, two pig-headed people and a sheep's horn sacrifice, and also gained 3 power points, plus the remaining 2 points from the previous days, he currently has a total of 5 energy points.
In addition to the energy points, Gervais also obtained a black translucent Monster Spadrons, Gervais had never seen a black Demonic Beast Crystal before, let alone heard of a Demonic Beast with a spiritual attack, so he didn't tell anyone about his mental attack and the Demonic Beast Crystal.
In addition to the above gains, plus the bets, Gervais can be said to have made a lot of money today, which can't help but make Gervais feel particularly good, at this moment Gervais looks at the sky and feels very blue, and the clouds are very white.
After returning to Rose Castle, Gervais did not immediately go to the study to read, but rushed to the kitchen.
As a traverser, Gervais thinks that if there is no cake for a birthday, it is not a perfect birthday, so, for the sake of his cheap wife taking good care of him, Gervais decided to let him have a happy birthday.
When Gervais walked into the kitchen, all the cooks and helpers were busy, and Jimmy was the busiest.
At the moment, Jimmy kept patrolling behind seven or eight cooks who were all boiling minced garlic for the charcoal-grilled oysters for today's dinner.
"Your Excellency!"
When Gervais walked up to Jimmy, Jimmy saw Gervais and immediately saluted Gervais.
"Well, Jimmy, how are they learning?"
There were hundreds of guests tonight, and it was certainly not enough to let Jimmy make charcoal-grilled oysters alone, so since two days ago, Jimmy began to teach these Rose Castle cooks how to make garlic and roast oysters, and now the technique of roasting oysters has been sold all over the Jones Collar, and Gervais is not distressed to be learned by his cheap wife.
"My lord, they are the best cooks in Rose Castle, and they learn very quickly!"
Jimmy doesn't shy away from his compliments.
"Yes! That's good! ”
"I wonder what you're doing in the kitchen, sir? Do you want the villain to help? ”
Jimmy is now excited every time he sees Gervais come to the kitchen, because as long as Gervais himself enters the kitchen, it means that he can learn another craft, and it is a delicious technology that will be passed down from generation to generation.
"You don't need your help, you're busy first! I'll teach you later! ”
How could Gervais not know what Jimmy, the cook, was thinking, and directly rejected him.
The cake making is more cumbersome, flour, egg liquid, sugar, all kinds of proportions must be just right, otherwise the previous work will be wasted, Jimmy has not done it before and can't help, and Gervais is only going to make a cake today, and he doesn't need help.
After a few words with Jimmy, Gervais casually found a vacant seat and started making the birthday cake himself.
……
In the study on the third floor of Rose Castle, Alice was sitting at her desk, listening to Lina's report.
"My lord, Commander Luo Er has just come to report about the destruction of the gate of the passage under the gladiatorial arena, and he has found nothing!"
Lina had a serious face, clearly taking the matter very seriously.
"The eight stunned attendants didn't say anything useful after they were woken up, and all of them said that they were attacked by someone before they could even see the figures."
"The place where the underground passage gate was destroyed is the location of the winch, which should be chopped and destroyed by weapons such as long swords, but there are countless people with long swords in the gladiatorial arena, and there are also a lot of idle weapons in the armory room of the gladiatorial arena, so it is impossible to trace it at all."
Lina reported the results of the investigation in the gladiatorial arena to Alice one by one, and Alice listened carefully to Lina's report, and then asked Lina thoughtfully, "Did Kevin check with that Boris?" ”
"My lord, I have carefully checked, Viscount Kevin and Viscount Boris each brought 6 guards when they went to the Colosseum, but their guards were all outside the arena and did not enter the Colosseum, and the rest of the servants and guards did not go out in Rose Castle."
"In addition to Kevin and Boris, does Gervais have any grudges with anyone else?"
Alice still attaches great importance to someone who wants to be unfavorable to Gervais, and such a thing happens right under her nose, which is not only an enemy of Gervais, but also does not take the Jones family in her eyes.
"My lord, I also asked Baron Gandalf and Anna, and they said no! However, Viscount Nannet Cowan was also in the Colosseum at the time, do you want me to check it out? ”
"Nannet? No, the dispute between Gervais and Lenny, it is estimated that he wishes that Gervais could cripple Lenny, and it is unlikely that it will be unfavorable to Gervais. ”
Alice shook her head, this Nannet is Lenny's half-brother, Lenny and Nannet also broke out in an internal fight some time ago, killing and injuring several people, which became the joke of the principality, and Alice heard a lot about it.
Of course, it is not impossible for Lina to make this suggestion, Alice, who was born in the earl's family, knows very well that the cunning of the nobles is actually directly proportional to their status, and sometimes in order to confuse the enemy, the nobles can imagine any kind of strategy.
"Lina, what about Commander Rohr? This matter made him continue to investigate, and today's dinner party must be guarded tightly, and no mistakes must be made! ”
"Yes, sir! After returning to Rose Castle, Commander Roll went home, and Commander Roll said that today he would personally put on armor to protect the safety of Rose Castle! ”
"Very good, then hard for him!"
Alice nodded.
Originally, with Rohr's status, of course, he didn't have to be on duty to attend the banquet tonight, but when something happened in the gladiatorial arena, Rohr took the initiative to ask for help, and Alice was relieved.
After all, tonight's banquet not only has all its own vassals attended, but there are also many nobles in other territories, and if something happens, it will definitely make someone with a heart take advantage of the topic to try to deal with the Jones family on the bright side.
