Chapter 683: The Choice of Residence!

Next, Gervais wanted to see if he could get out of bed and walk on his own, and then leave early to return to the academy.

However, after trying, he found that due to the dual factors of injury and side effects of black kiwifruit, his legs became sore and weak, and it was difficult for him to walk.

So he definitely didn't want to leave today, and Gervais simply continued to lie on the bed and chat with Adella.

While chatting, Adella suddenly remembered the three potions that Gervais gave her, and remembered that she hadn't thanked Gervais for her birthday gift, so she immediately said to Gervais.

"Gervais, thank you for the birthday present! I love it! ”

This birthday gift not only alleviated the embarrassment of the young people that night, but also saved face for Adella in disguise.

Although she didn't have the heart to compare, the beast princess who held the banquet with her received expensive gifts, but she didn't, and she couldn't get over it no matter what.

Gervais's gift was a godsend.

"If you like it!"

Hearing Adella's gratitude for the birthday present, Gervais smiled slightly.

However, when talking about the three potions he sent, Gervais suddenly remembered that this stupid girl probably wouldn't take it after receiving the potion, but would keep it as a souvenir.

But if you don't take it, it won't be useless.

Now that I'm right in front of her, I should let this chick obey.

Thinking of this, Gervais immediately spoke to Adella.

"By the way, Adella, you take out the potion now and take it all!"

"Huh?"

"Do you want to take it?"

Adela obviously didn't plan to take these potions, and she was stunned when she heard Gervais's words.

"Well, if you don't take it, it's just a potion, and only after you take it will this potion have real value!"

Gervais looked into Adella's eyes and said seriously.

"Oh, okay!"

Adella was obviously a little reluctant, but it was Gervais who was talking to her at this time, so she could only bow her head in response, and then took the potion out of the space bracelet.

Adella had a total of four potions from Gervais at this time.

One was sent by Gervais to apologize after she broke into her small building last night to avoid being pursued.

The other three were given at the birthday party the day before yesterday.

At this time, all four potions were taken out and placed on the small table next to the bed, and Gervais could clearly see that Adella, the little girl, was a little reluctant.

Immediately smiled slightly, directly picked up the single mental power increasing potion, and said to Adella while opening it.

"I sent these potions to you, just so that you can take them to improve your strength, although such potions are expensive, but I have a way to get them."

"So you don't have to worry, I'll continue to send you if there is still one in the future!"

Wave!

After speaking, with the sound of the wave, the cork of the potion was opened, and a faint fragrance wafted out.

Today's Gervais even needs a little strength to open the mental power potion.

After uncorking the bottle, Gervais directly delivered the potion to Adella, and said softly.

"Come, drink!"

"Hmm!"

When Adella heard Gervais say that she would send the potion to herself in the future, the reluctance in her heart immediately disappeared, and she took the potion handed by Gervais with a slightly red face.

At the same time, Gervais took the initiative to help her uncork the potion bottle and give it to her to drink, which also made Adella feel a trace of indescribable joy in her heart.

Seeing that Adele obediently took the potion, Gervais opened the gift box next to him and took out a potion directly from the gift box.

"This blue potion can increase a little affinity for magic, I heard that the materials are very scarce, and it is extremely difficult to dispose, so I only have one such potion at present!"

Gervais was holding a magic recovery potion mixed with orange kiwifruit, and explained to Adella with a serious face.

"Yikes! Potions that increase affinity for mana! ”

After hearing this, Adella was immediately stunned, and her beautiful eyes were full of disbelief.

She was really shocked.

If the mental power is not high, most of the time it will only affect the subsequent achievements of the magician.

But if you don't have an affinity for magic, you can't even think of being a trainee magician, and most of the people who can't practice magic do so for this reason.

Now that Gervais had told her that this potion turned out to be a potion that increased the affinity of mana, it was no wonder that Alice was so surprised.

"Don't be stunned, drink it quickly, I'm willing to give it to you for the sake of your girlfriend!"

From Adele's stunned expression, Gervais gained a small sense of accomplishment, and immediately urged with a serious look.

"Hmmm! You're my boyfriend too! ”

Adella nodded obediently, her eyes full of gratitude, clearly believing Gervais's words.

Then, Adella took the potion from Gervais's hand and drank it happily.

And Gervais smashed his mouth, saying that he is not a scumbag, not only lying and deceiving other people's daughters, but also taking advantage of others in private.

But fortunately, Gervais's face was thick enough, and he was not embarrassed, but continued to pick up another golden potion with a smile.

"This golden potion can strengthen the body, and I heard that it is very effective for the title knight, but the magician also has to face battles, and it is also good for increasing the physique, so you should take it too!"

Gervais opened the golden potion and handed it to Adella again.

"Hmm!"

Adella had already seen so many miracles, and when she heard the effect of this golden potion, her eyes were full of incredulity, but she didn't exclaim anymore.

She first carefully put the empty potion bottle in her hand into the gift box, and then reached out and took the potion in Gervais's hand and put it to her mouth and drank it.

Seeing that Adele took another one, Gervais was naturally ready to let Adela drink all four potions in one go, so he took the last potion that increased mental power in his hand.

……

While Adella and Gervais were in the room, there was a man with a horrified expression standing outside the door.

And this person was none other than Adella's grandfather, Duke Edward.

Edward had just heard that Gervais had woken up, and was about to come over to investigate, as if he wanted to show his kindness.

But when he came to the door of the room, he heard the voice of Gervais and his granddaughter in the room.

So Edward's mind moved, and he paused slightly to listen.

But it's okay not to listen, but this time I heard words that made him unbelievable.

Potions that increase the affinity of mana!

Potions that strengthen the body!

Does such an elixir really exist?

Edward couldn't believe his ears.

However, with the experience of the mental power potion potion, Edward finally believed what Gervais said.

It's just that in this way, after these three potions, wouldn't there be a genius-like existence, whether it is a waste material or an idiot, as long as you drink enough potions?

Although Gervais said that the affinity-increasing potion was very rare, not counting the affinity-increasing potion, the body-strengthening potion alone was enough to cause the entire sacred continent to shake again.

Edward even felt that this shock was definitely greater than the ripples caused by the mental power potion.

As a knight of the title, he naturally knew what the golden potion meant.

After pausing at the door for a while, making sure that Adela had drunk all the potions, Edward raised his hand and knocked on the door, and then opened the door.

"Grandfather!"

"Duke Edward!"

When Edward entered the room, Adele and Gervais immediately looked at Edward, and then greeted him one after another.

"Well, young man, you're awake at last! That's it! ”

Edward first glanced at his granddaughter, then on Gervais, and spoke very kindly.

At this time, his heart was even more aggravated by the intention of wooing Gervais, not for anything else, but for the other two new potions.

"Thank you Edward for your help!"

For Adele's grandfather, Gervais still felt very good, and immediately thanked him gratefully.

"That's as it should be, you saved my granddaughter too!"

Edward shook his head slightly, acting very kindly.

"Grandfather, Gervais has agreed to be my guardian knight! When will you be able to crown Gervais as a guardian knight? ”

It was at this time that Adele also spoke.

Since Gervais agreed to the matter of the guardian knight, Adele is a little impatient, and wants to complete the coronation ceremony of the guardian knight as soon as possible, so that she can really feel at ease!

"Oh? How about grandfather holding the coronation ceremony of the guardian knight tomorrow at noon? ”

Hearing his granddaughter's words, Edward was also stunned, but he didn't expect to agree so soon.

But this is also just right, and now that the God Killer named Gervais has obtained two new medicines, it must be focused on.

And to avoid long nights and dreams, Edward is also ready to complete this ritual as soon as possible.

The decision was made immediately.

"Well, grandfather, you're the best!"

When Adella heard that it would be tomorrow, she was naturally very satisfied, and immediately thanked Edward with a happy face.

"Hmm!"

Seeing his granddaughter's happy appearance, Edward nodded lovingly before continuing.

"Then grandfather will go and arrange tomorrow's affairs first, and you young people will continue to talk!"

With that, Edward left the room to arrange tomorrow's coronation.

……

"It's an elf!"

"Ah, it's the first time I've seen elves, and they're so beautiful, exactly like the legend!"

"Of course, an elf can sell for 100,000 gold coins on the black market!"

"Shhh So expensive! ”

"The elves have a lifespan of thousands of years, and they are beautiful themselves, so the price is naturally expensive!"

"Shhhh

Outside the gate of the City of Hope, a team of more than 500 people arrived at the city, and the passers-by at the gate of the city stopped one after another, watching the team pointing and talking intently.

The elves have not appeared in the outside world for decades, and all the human races with only a hundred years of lifespan have naturally heard of the elves only in rumors, but they have never really seen them.

Now when I see that the elves are all handsome and beautiful, like a script, I am naturally amazed.

And for Alice and others, it is naturally uncomfortable to be pointed at and discussed by so many people.

But it's not the first time this kind of situation has happened along the way, so they can bear it.

Moreover, there is a Rose Knights on the periphery, and the crowd of onlookers is separated, so that the team is not crowded with onlookers.

……

When the whole team was being watched by everyone, three war horses ran out of the city of hope at a uniform speed and quickly came to the elf team.

And this person is none other than Nadine, the Grand Commander of the Rose Knights.

Nadine rode his war horse directly to Alice's luxurious carriage, and immediately turned over and dismounted, half-kneeling on the ground, and whispered to Alice.

"Your Highness, we have entered the city to find out!"

"This city of hope is divided into an outer city and an inner city, and there are also some courtyards for rent in the outer city, and the rent of each courtyard requires five hundred gold coins a month, which can accommodate up to fifty people!"

"And in the manor in the inner city, the rent of a small manor requires about 2,000 gold coins a month, and it can accommodate hundreds of people! If a large manor can accommodate more than 500 people, it will take tens of thousands of gold coins! ”

Today, Nadine is a mid-level knight of gold.

Although the Golden Knight in the Holy Continent is nothing anymore, compared to Nadine, who was only at the peak of silver half a year ago, such progress is already considered a divine speed.

If it weren't for the potion plants in the sacred forest and the stream next to the Elven Fountain of Life, he might not have broken through to become a Golden Knight.

"So expensive!"

After listening to Nadine's words, Alice in the carriage frowned slightly and whispered.

Although they are elven missions, there is no one in this city of hope who will receive them or arrange accommodation for them.

Because the City of Hope does not belong to the Holy Alliance at all, it is the private property of the Alliance's Higher Academy.

And this competition was issued by the Holy Alliance, not the Alliance Higher Academy, so the Alliance Higher Academy naturally won't spend gold coins to meddle in things.

In this way, Alice and her group need to find a place to settle down on their own.

The reason why their team stopped here before was to let Nadine and the others go to the city to inquire about where to stay.

After all, if the team of hundreds of people does not find a good place to settle in advance, it will definitely be crowded when they enter the city later, and it will not be good in case of accidents.

It's just that now when she hears the price of renting a house in the City of Hope, Alice is a little worried.

In order to avoid trouble, they didn't enter the Terran city much along the way.

Therefore, I don't know much about the prices of the Sacred Continent, let alone the Elves who are traveling with them, they haven't walked out of the Sacred Forest for many years, so they don't know anything about the prices of the Terrans.

Now that she has come to this city of hope, it will cost at least thousands of gold coins just to place her team, which makes Alice a little reluctant.

If it was in the past, with the wealth of the Jones family, these thousands of gold coins would naturally be willing to spend.

But now most of the Jones family's heritage is used to improve the infrastructure of the elves, and the gold has bottomed out, and there is not much money left.

Otherwise, this time, she, the queen, would not have brought more than 500 people, at least 2,000 people!

"Then go to the courtyards of the outer city, are there enough courtyards for all of us?"

Alice thought for a moment, but still made a decision!

A courtyard outside the city costs only 500 gold coins a month, and can accommodate 50 people.

That is to say, it only takes 5,000 gold coins to settle all the people in your team, although they need to live separately, but dozens of people are together and they are still in the city, so they should also be safe.

As for going to live in those big estates in the inner city, Alice is really reluctant, if she really lives in them, it will really empty the Jones family's family foundation.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Nadine hesitated for a moment after listening to Alice's instructions, but got up respectfully and prepared to rent the courtyards at once.

"Wait!"

But at this time, the old earl, that is, Adella's father, Prince Alder, called Nadine to stop.

"Lord Alder!"

Nadine is not an elf, and Alice has also confessed, so she calls Alice the queen.

And Alder was sure that he could no longer use the title of Earl, so he simply separated from each other, and everyone changed their words to call the old earl to Prince Alder.

"Hmm!"

Alder rode the colorful deer and nodded to Nadine, then approached the carriage and whispered to Alice inside.

"Alice, you're the queen after all! If you live in the courtyard, you will definitely be looked down upon by the Terrans and Orcs, so I think it's better to rent a manor and live there! ”

"But father, we don't have enough gold coins, and if we want to rent a big manor, we need at least 10,000 gold coins, which will cost us all our gold coins!"

Alice certainly knew that living in the courtyard of the outer city would make Terrans and Orcs gossip.

But it's much better than living in the wilderness outside the city, and that's what Alice did.

"Alice, otherwise, we have more than five hundred people in total, and you take more than a hundred people to live in the small manor in the inner city, and the rest live in the courtyard outside the city."

Now Alder's approach is the best of both worlds.

It will not let the elves be looked down upon, and it will save most of the gold.

After all, if the queen lived in a small courtyard outside the city, it would really be made fun of.

And if Alice, the queen, lives in the manor of the City of Hope, then at least people just think that the elves are a little poor, and they are not poor to the point of despair.

"Then do as my father said!"

After listening to her father's words, Alice thought for a moment and responded.

Although she doesn't care about whether she lives well or badly, she still has to take care of the face of the elves, which is the responsibility of herself, the queen.

"Yes, Your Majesty, then I'll do it now!"

After hearing this, Nadine immediately turned on his horse and returned to the City of Hope with his subordinates.
