Chapter 651: It's Got It!
Alice was preparing to go to the City of Hope to compete for a place in the tunnel, and Gervais didn't know anything about it.
After returning to the academy building, Gervais first put the tools for dispensing potions in the empty room on the second floor, and then went downstairs to the kitchen to get busy.
To be honest, Gervais hasn't really cooked much by himself since he came to the Otherworld, and even when he roasted oysters, he had his subordinates to help him.
But fortunately, Gervais is a fire mage, and starting a fire or something is only a matter of moments for him.
With the stove lit, Gervais began to work in the kitchen.
Knock knock!
Time passed minute by minute, and after more than an hour of busy work for Gervais, there was a knock on the door of Gervais's small building.
"Well, so early?"
Gervais looked at the sky outside and found that the sun was still hanging in the sky, and there were not many people on the road outside the small building.
"Who!"
Gervais asked, as he walked towards the door.
"It's me, Adella!"
As Gervais's question fell, Adella's pleasant voice came from outside the door.
"It's this chick again!"
Gervais muttered to himself
However, after knowing that it was Adella, Gervais knew a little in his heart why he came so early.
"Welcome, Adella-san! Inside please! ”
When Gervais opened the door, the pretty Adele stood outside the door with a little restraint, and Gervais made a very gentlemanly gesture of please.
"Thank you, Mr. Harry!"
Adella's pretty face was slightly red and a little embarrassed, it stands to reason that it would be more appropriate for him to come with Zenia, but she really can't wait.
She didn't go back to class after delivering the books to Harry, and stayed in the dorm all afternoon.
And she was a little restless in the small building, eager to get a reply from Gervais.
Adella had stood on the balcony four or five times this afternoon, pretending to be casually looking at Harry's building.
I was looking forward to seeing Gervais or Harry returning the book to her.
Although Adella knew that such a thing could not happen, even if Harry returned the books to herself, it is estimated that Gervais would not have time to pick up the letters.
After all, Gervais came to collect the letter, and it was estimated that it would be in the dead of night.
But Adella was still a little restless, so after waiting for an afternoon, she finally couldn't wait, and somehow came directly to Gervais, thinking that she could feel more at ease.
Gervais welcomed Adele to the living room on the first floor very warmly, let her sit down on the sofa, and then said softly.
"Adella, you sit here for a while, I still have food that hasn't been cooked well, so I can't accompany you!"
"It's okay, Harry-san, go get busy, don't worry about me!"
Adele's face was slightly red, so naturally she wouldn't say anything.
Later, when she saw Gervais walk into the kitchen, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The ghost sent the gods to come before, but now I feel a little embarrassed after realizing it.
Of course, this is also because Harry's character is remarkable in her heart, otherwise even if Adella is anxious, she would not dare to come to Gervais's small building alone.
……
"Lord Duke, Miss Adella didn't go to class this afternoon, and according to the news just now, Miss went to the junior mage named Harry!"
Inside the castle in the sky, Waddington was reporting to Duke Edward.
Since he knew that Adella had contact with a mysterious person, and that the mysterious person also took out psychic potions and mental power-increasing potions, Edward arranged for Waddington to send someone to secretly observe Adella's every move to see who had contact with Adella on weekdays, so as to find out who the mysterious person was.
"Have you found out who Harry is?"
"Lord Duke, the Holy City of Heka is far away, and the news over there has not yet been delivered."
"However, according to what we found in the City of Hope, this student named Harry entered the academy on the basis of a place as an auditor in Heka Holy City."
"And when the young lady went on an adventure in the Wizard's Tower, he was also among them, and at that time he was employed by the second young master of Heka Holy City, Rachi."
"I once heard Miss mention on the way back that this student named Harry has a very good character, and once volunteered to stay in the Wizard's Tower to stop the orcs from chasing after Miss and the others, and finally survived with good luck."
"Well, then don't worry about it for the time being, you just need to secretly pay attention to who the young lady is in contact with, don't leave out any suspicious people, if you can determine the identity of that mysterious person, even if it has a huge impact on our Sky City!"
"There you go!"
After listening to Waddington's answer, Edward thought for a moment before he started to speak on his behalf.
"Yes, Lord Duke!"
Waddington answered, and prepared to leave.
"By the way, don't let Adele find out, or she will definitely be unhappy!"
Just as Waddington turned around, Edward suddenly added.
"Yes, Lord Duke!"
Waddington turned to salute again, and then walked briskly out of Edward's study.
……
"Adele, let's have a drink!"
Gervais went into the kitchen and continued to work for a while, and finally remembered that Adele was also a guest, and he always had to pour her a glass of water.
So I poured another cup of hot water and sent it to the living room, at this time Adela was sitting on the sofa quietly without any movement, sitting in a dignified and elegant posture, it was obvious that this sitting posture had also been trained for a long time.
"Thank you! Classmate Harry"
Because it was the first time to stay alone in a male classmate's dormitory, Adella's restraint naturally went without saying, but after the teacup handed by Gervais, she replied very politely, not like she usually had Zenia, Ratchey and others present.
"Adella, are you a little bored, if you are bored, I will go to the study and get a book for you to see?"
When Gervais saw Adella like this, he knew in his heart that it took a lot of courage for this young lady to come to her dormitory building alone, and the culprit of all this was herself.
Gervais felt a little guilty in his heart, and wanted to take care of this stupid girl as much as possible, so he asked in a soft tone, wanting to find a book for Adella to read to relieve the tension in her heart.
"Books?"
Hearing Gervais's words, Adella's eyes, which were originally a little nervous, flickered.
In fact, before she came, she really wanted to check the book she had sent at noon to see if the letter had been taken by Gervais.
It's just that the study is a very private place after all, and Adella is embarrassed to go to the study, so she can only stay quietly in the living room.
Now hearing Gervais suddenly mention it, it made Adella have a little courage in her heart.
So Adella replied a little embarrassed.
"Harry-san, you still need to make dinner, why don't I go to your study and find a book I like to read?"
After speaking, Adele looked at Gervais with some expectation, and at the same time, mixed with a weak heart.
She rarely lies, after all, in her capacity there is no opportunity to lie at all, and there is no need to lie.
After listening to Adella's words, Gervais smashed his mouth, and took a serious look at Adella's daughter's somewhat helpless appearance, feeling a little funny and a little distressed.
Adella looked at Gervais, but after waiting for a moment and seeing that Gervais did not answer immediately, her pretty face became a little redder, and then she spoke.
"I took the liberty of it, and if it didn't work, I wouldn't ......"
"Of course you can, the study is upstairs, you can find it yourself, I just have to go to the kitchen to guard, otherwise the food will not taste good if it is baked!"
Gervais tried to keep his tone as soft as he could, and after saying that, he went to the kitchen on his own.
When Adela saw Gervais turn around, her eyes showed a happy look, and she couldn't care about the thumping of her heart, and couldn't wait to walk to the staircase to the second floor.
The layout of the dormitory buildings is exactly the same, so Adele soon arrives in Gervais's study.
There are not many books in the study, only half a shelf of books, Gervais has not bought or rented books since entering the academy, and the books on this half shelf are provided by the academy.
Naturally, Adella didn't come to the study to really read a book, so after entering the study, her eyes were on the desk for the first time.
The first thing she saw was the book she had lent Harry at noon in the corner of her desk.
Seeing this book, Adella glanced out of the study with a little guilt, and then slowly walked to the desk.
"Hey, I took it!"
Picking up the book she had lent Harry, Adella felt like a thief, and her heart didn't stop.
And when she opened the inconspicuous little opening on the cover and glanced inside, her heart pounded even more.
Because she found that the letter paper on the cover of the book was missing!
"When did Gervais come? If only I could see it! ”
Adele wouldn't have suspected that Harry had taken the note, because the hole was so hidden and stuffed so deep that no one who knew it would look inside.
So the letter could only be taken by Gervais, and Adele still regretted it slightly, so she passed by the opportunity to see Gervais.
"But Gervais took the letter, and it will be answered soon!"
"I just don't know when Harry will come back to give me the book!"
After making sure that the letter had been taken away, Adele began to suffer again, when would she receive a reply......
If Gervais knew Adele's state at the moment, then he would definitely say: It's over, this girl has been picked up......
Knock knock!
"Harry! Open the door, here we come! ”
Just as Adella's thoughts were fluctuating, there was a knock on the door from downstairs.
Hearing this, Adella hurriedly put away her thoughts and hurriedly put the books back on the desk, and then took a random copy from the bookshelf, and then walked downstairs in a panic.
When Adella came downstairs to the living room and was ready, Gervais slowly walked out of the kitchen.
"Ratchey, Zenia, welcome! Come on in, Adele is already waiting for you! ”
"Thank you, Harry!"
"Thank you, Harry-san!"
Outside the door, Rache came with Zenia, and the reason why Ruchi came with Zenia was to ask Zenia to find Adella.
But obviously, Adella had already come to Gervais, so he naturally pounced.
Several people said hello, knowing that Adele was already weak, and Lackey immediately quickened his pace and walked into the living room.
"Adella, you're so early!"
When Ratchey and Zenia saw Adella, they immediately greeted her.
"Alright, don't say hello, you've come just in time, dinner is ready, let's get ready to eat!
Gervais cooked at the right time, and the round table in the dining room next to him was already full of various delicacies, which was the fruit of Gervais's nearly an hour and a half of labor.
"Wow! It smells so good! Harry, I didn't expect you to be so good at it? ”
When they saw the long table full of food and smelled the aroma, Lackey immediately praised Gervais.
Even Zenia, the lowest-ranking of the three of them, was born in a wealthy family, so she didn't have the opportunity to cook by herself since she was a child, so it was naturally very novel for Gervais to make such a sumptuous table.
"Don't dislike it, I can't afford to invite a place like Leng Jade Manor, so I can only invite a few young masters and young ladies to have a meal in my small building!"
"Okay, don't look at it, come and eat, it won't taste good when it's cold later!"
Gervais smiled slightly, urging a few people to sit down.
"How can you dislike it, in my opinion, it is much more troublesome to do it yourself than to spend money, so let's try Master Harry's craftsmanship next!"
When Adele is around, Rage is even more talkative, just trying to attract attention.
Then several people sat down one by one, and the round table in Gervais's restaurant was very large, and the four of them did not feel crowded at all after sitting down, and almost everyone was more than a meter apart.
"Harry, what kind of food is this white, and why is there fruit on the noodles? It smells milky."
When the few people sat down, the first thing they saw was a small cake in front of them, which was already covered with a layer of white cream.
The cream cake is naturally a new thing for Rachi and Adella, so Lache immediately asked when he saw it, and Zenia and Adella also looked at the small cake in front of them curiously.
"It's called cream cake, you can try it, it's a very popular delicacy in my hometown!"
"Then you're welcome! Mr. Harry! ”
At this time, Zenia couldn't sit still, and when she heard what it was, she immediately took a fork and started to do it.
And Adella also nodded slightly, raised her hand and gracefully began to start towards the cream cake.
"Oh! Harry, I didn't expect you to have a talent for being a cook in addition to your talent for magic, haha! ”
The cream cake entrance, the rich milky flavor and the slippery taste are completely a storm of taste buds for the three of Lachey, and Ladge swallowed it and immediately praised Gervais exaggeratedly.
And Adella and Zenia's eyes lit up, and they were obviously very satisfied with the cream cake.
"If you like it! But don't eat too much cake just yet, I even bought a swordfish today, save my stomach to try the fish soup! ”
Although he got along with a few people under a false identity, through the past few months of getting along, Gervais has also regarded several people as his friends, and he is naturally happy to see a few people eating happily.
Then, without Gervais's urging, the three of them began to sweep the food on the table.
In particular, the fish soup of the swordfish that cost Gervais more than 500 gold coins, this fish soup Gervais used the cooking method of his previous life to completely cook the deliciousness of the swordfish.
Half an hour later, a few people almost wiped out the food on the table, and then they began to talk about each other.
"I'll tell you a piece of news, the academy will start selecting outstanding students in a few days, as if it is to compete for some channel places!"
Ratchey mysteriously took out his news and shared it with a few friends.
"What channel slots, and with whom are they competing for?"
Gervais didn't care about these things so he didn't interject, and Adele wasn't a talker, so in the end, Zenia was a little curious and asked Ratchey.
"I don't know what the passage quota is, but it seems to be competing with other races,!"
Rage was embarrassed, when his uncle informed him about this, he was in a hurry to meet with Adella as soon as possible, and he ran away as soon as he slipped away, so he only listened to half of it.
"It's a competition for places with the beasts and elves, and this place is the quota for the passage of the Godfall Land!"
Hearing that Rage couldn't explain the reason for the incident, Adele, who was sitting upright, spoke.
She had heard his grandfather tell her about it that day, and she even knew the cause.
"It's actually a competition with the orcs and elves, it may be very dangerous at that time, let's not participate well!"
Zenia was still a little apprehensive when she heard that the orcs had not appeared, and if it weren't for the appearance of the Killing God, they might not have been able to get out of the Wizard's Tower alive.
"There are even elves!"
Rakhi's focus was clearly different from Zenia's, and as soon as he heard the elves' eyes begin to light up, his attention was immediately drawn.
"Yes, there are elves, but according to my grandfather, the elves will probably not come to participate in this competition, because the elves have not been out of the sacred forest for decades!"
Adella nodded and continued.
"Okay!"
Lackey was suddenly tired, and his face was full of disappointment purple, and it was obvious that the elven beauty had a great attraction in Rakhi's heart.
And Gervais was also slightly disappointed after hearing this, of course, he was not like Ratch to see the beautiful elven beauties, but to see if there was a chance to find out about Caroline.
If the elves don't come, he won't be able to investigate.
The conversation continued for a while, and then the servant whom Ratchey had already given over came to Gervais's small building to help clean up the mess in the kitchen.
And a few people have been gossiping in the living room until it gets dark, and then they went back to their respective dormitories!
