Chapter 293: The Serf's Wedding

Gervais led a large team all the way through most of the Jones Territory, and it took nine days to finally reach the Dead Leaf River, although it took a little more time to return, but fortunately there was no incident along the way, which also made Gervais slightly relieved.

In fact, in many cases, the lords of this world will occasionally role-play, and what kind of drama is what I drive, Gervais's carriage is loaded with several valuable objects, and there are a lot of gold and silver utensils, and Gervais is also worried that there will be an idea that will not be long-sighted to fight his own convoy.

Gervais was not worried about the safety of himself and the others, but there were so many newly bought slaves in the convoy, and if he was really attacked, it was inevitable that he would escape with death or injury, and it would be a loss at that time.

But now it seems that Gervais is overthinking, in fact, he doesn't know, he is now a man of the year in Jones, with a unicorn mount, and even in the gladiatorial arena with his personal guards to show his skills, no one dares to use it in role-playing.

On top of that, Gervais is clearly highly regarded by Alice these days, and the fact that this knighthood has been promoted by one level in just a few months is the best proof of this.

"My lord! My lord! You're back! ”

Gervais's large team had barely reached the banks of the Withered Leaf River when a small group of guards appeared on the other side of the bridge.

The leader was none other than Audrey, who, after seeing Gervais's team, rode his horse quickly to Gervais's approach, jumped off his horse as soon as he turned over, and then saluted Gervais excitedly.

"Yes, I'm back! Ha ha! ”

……

"Audrey, how is the territory during my absence, is it still stable?"

The team crossed the River of Dead Leaves, and Gervais rode a unicorn to Audrey, who was accompanying him, and asked.

"Back to my lord, the territory is very stable, the serfs are busy with the harvest during this time, the first two days have almost finished harvesting the dealer, this year's harvest is very good, and recently Steward Thomas has been busy collecting taxes!"

"And recently the serfs are still preparing for the harvest festival, which has been approved by Steward Thomas! I'm waiting for you to come back, sir! ”

Audrey was on horseback, and he probably hadn't seen Gervais for a long time, so he talked a lot more than before, and when Gervais asked him, he replied cheerfully.

"Oh, that's fine!"

Harvest Festival Gervais knew when he arrived, and it was also a feature of this world, the serfs in this world were busy in the fields all year round, but there was no rest day, so a harvest festival would be held every year after the harvest, and it was also the only festival for the serfs.

In this way, Gervais talked to Audri all the way, and after nearly half a day, Gervais finally saw the Golden Fort standing on the hill in the distance, although the scale was much smaller than the Rose Castle, but Gervais did not dislike it, but was quite kind after seeing it, after all, this is his own nest.

Gervais was the first to enter the intersection of Marina Town, only to find that the streets of Marina Town had changed, and the original potholes and dirty roads had been rebuilt, and the gravel and sediment were paved on them, which not only made the roads smoother, but also much cleaner.

Gervais's long procession entered Marina Town, and many of the townspeople stepped out of their homes to watch.

Now that the wheat harvest is complete, the serfs of the Storm Territory have basically nothing to do, except to dig some wild vegetables and pick up some wild fruits, and most of them usually stay at home.

"Your Lord!"

"Your Lord!"

When the serfs walked out of the house, they were first surprised by the endless line on the avenue, and finally saw Gervais walking in front of them riding a unicorn, and then they reacted and knelt on the ground, shouting in unison and saluting Gervais.

Seeing that these serfs were in good spirits, Gervais's mood was also improved, and he rode the unicorn leisurely with a smile on his face.

When Gervais passed the entrances of the paths, he looked inside, and found that the paths were also paved with gravel, and he could not smell the stench that had wafted from the paths.

"It seems that during my absence, Thomas was very attentive!"

Gervais was pleased with the neatness of the town, which was his ideal village or town, although the houses were still dilapidated and the population was smaller.

But at least the living conditions have improved, and Gervais can start planning for the next step.

As they passed the stone house, Bernard Blacksmith and Brian Alchemist also walked out of the house, and when they saw such a large procession, their expressions were like those serfs.

Gervais just smiled as he passed in front of them, and didn't talk to them.

Passing through the town square, just as Gervais was about to walk out of the town, he suddenly saw a group of people eating and drinking in an open space in an alley.

Gervais was curious, this was the first time he had seen such a scene in the Storm Leader, so he stopped with some curiosity.

"Audrey, is there something happy about that serf's family?"

Gervais saw that there were three tables in the open space in the alley, and there was meat, bread, and fruit on the tables, and more than 20 people were happily surrounding the three tables, but they did not find Gervais and others outside the alley.

The food on those three tables was a rare delicacy for the serfs, and Gervais guessed that no serf family would have been able to entertain them so extravagantly if it were not for a happy event.

"My lord, I heard two days ago that there is indeed a family in the town holding a wedding banquet today, but I don't know if it's the one in the alley!"

"Oh? Haha, it's rare, I've been coming to Storm Collar for several months, and this is the first time I've met a serf to get married! ”

Gervais laughed, the population of his territory was too small, only more than 2,000 people, and there were really few people who held weddings all year round.

Perhaps it was Gervais's laughter that reached the alley, and the serfs, who were sitting at the tables eating and drinking merrily, finally noticed what was going on beyond the avenue.

When they saw that the person on the avenue who stopped to watch was actually their lord, everyone's faces changed, and the alley, which was originally full of laughter and laughter, suddenly became silent, and a group of people could no longer sit still, so they quickly left the table and ran towards the alley.

"Your Lord!"

When the serfs reached the end of the alley, they all fell to their knees, and they were all trembling.

Gervais didn't care, looked at the people in front of him with a smile, and said, "Get up!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Lord!"

The group immediately stood up honestly and continued to keep their heads down and not dare to look at Gervais.

Gervais is not surprised by the reaction of the serfs, this world is like this, even if Gervais behaves kindly, and the benevolence of the lord is spread in the territory, but when the serfs really face Gervais, they will still be as suspicious as frightened rabbits.

"You two are the newlyweds who got married today?"

Gervais saw that the clothes on two of them were obviously brand new, so he asked at the exit.

"Yes...... Yes, my lord! ”

When the two of them heard Gervais's question, their bodies trembled visibly, and the young woman's figure was even more obvious, and finally the man stammered in answer to Gervais.

"You two don't keep your heads down, raise your heads and show me!"

Gervais continued in a soft tone with interest.

Hearing Gervais's command, the woman and the man trembled again, and some hesitated and did not raise their heads immediately.

Gervais was a little speechless, but this is also the norm in this world, and when Gervais was about to say it, it was Audri on the side who spoke up.

"Lord Gervais told you to look up, do you hear me, do you want to eat the whip?"

The hesitation of the two newcomers made Audri a little worried, for fear that Gervais would be unhappy.

Gervais has been away from the territory for so long, if these serfs are so ignorant, and then it annoys Gervais, I wonder if Gervais will blame them.

With Audri's scolding, the two newcomers finally didn't dare to slack off, and slowly raised their heads, but their eyes still didn't dare to look at Gervais.

Gervais still thought that today was the wedding day of the two, so he was not ready to continue to embarrass them, but who knew that Audri spoke.

Gervais didn't object, and now that the two of them raised their heads, Gervais looked at them carefully.

"Well, you're young!"

The reason why Gervais asked the two to look up was to see the age of the serfs when they got married, but now they can see clearly, the age of both parties is about sixteen or seventeen years old, and they are still underage in their previous lives, but in this world, they are already adults, and the two have obviously worked for many years, and their complexions are dark and rough.

The two newcomers didn't know what Gervais meant by being very young, although they wanted to lower their heads to avoid Gervais's gaze, but they finally held back, but the horror in their eyes was particularly strong.

Seeing the two behaving like this, Gervais didn't want to disturb their wedding anymore, so he took out a silver coin from his bosom.

With a flick of Gervais's fingers, the silver coin clanged and then arced through the air and fell into the pocket of the groom's linen robe.

"You are the first couple to marry after I became Lord of the Stormwind, and this silver coin is for you!"

After saying that, the wealthy Gervais did not wait for everyone's reaction, and urged the unicorn to ride towards the castle.
