Chapter 799: Lightning and Thunder
"Gervais, I heard you're from Sky City!"
Edward looked at Gervais, and then at his granddaughter, who was blushing with her head down, but after all, he couldn't pursue the scene just now.
Edward did not expect Gervais to come to St. Osqui, after all, it was a long way to return to St. Ann's from here.
Therefore, Gervais's motive for seeking the near and far must be suspicious, even if he opens the topic and starts to make a fuss about this matter.
"Yes! Duke Edward! ”
Gervais nodded.
Seeing a hint of suspicion in Edward's eyes, Gervais thought about it, and immediately made a small reason for his visit, and continued.
"I was going to go back the way I came from the city of Santodi, but there was still some wine left! I thought it wasn't far from the castle in the sky, so I specially sent it to you to try it, and by the way, take a look at Adella!! ”
As soon as Edward was no longer in the temple, Gervais came to look for Adella.
Unexpectedly, when he was intimate, he was caught by Edward.
But although it is a little embarrassing, the ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws.
was bumped into by Edward, in fact, Gervais also rehearsed in his heart, and he wanted to test Edward's bottom line.
Now it seems that Edward's opposition to him and Adella's affairs is not too strong.
It is estimated that it is because he loves Adella too much, and after understanding Adella's thoughts, he attaches great importance to it and is unwilling, but he can only try to be vigilant.
"How can there be any leftovers, and how is the wine selling?"
Hearing Gervais's reasoning, Edward's focus shifted a bit.
Edward had long heard Gervais mention that the Orcs had cut off the caravan's path to the Sacred Forest.
So he knew about Gervais personally leading a team to the City of Hope to sell wine.
But now that I heard Gervais say that the wine was not sold out, I thought he was telling the truth.
"Ugh! The wine sells okay and there isn't much left! It's just a few dozen barrels! ”
Unexpectedly, Edward believed his nonsense as an excuse.
Gervais was a little weak-hearted, if he learned the true situation of the City of Hope in the future, I don't know if he would want to beat himself up!
Immediately, Gervais replied sloppily.
"Hmmm! There are only a few dozen barrels left, and that's fine, and the wine will be brought into the temple later! I bought it! ”
Edward nodded and spoke.
He also knew that it was not easy for Gervais, the strength of his soldiers was not strong, and he needed to spend a lot of gold coins to cultivate, so naturally he would not accept his wine for free.
"Duke Edward, you don't need to pay for it, I sent these wines here for you and Adella to drink!"
Gervais didn't lie, the fifty barrels of wine left behind were specially prepared for the city in the sky, and twenty of them were still potions wine.
"Grandfather, let's go sit and talk in the small building! Gervais must have been tired from coming so far! ”
Seeing that Edward was about to say no, Adella suddenly interjected.
She was naturally happy that Gervais had sent something, and she thought to herself that her grandfather also liked to drink this wine, and the more she drank it in the future, maybe her grandfather would not object to the matter between herself and Gervais.
"Okay, let's go to the house and talk!"
Edward looked at his granddaughter and nodded.
Then the three of them walked into the small building next to them.
This conversation lasted for half a day, and it was not until dinner that it was over.
During this time, Edward informed Gervais of the movements of many other forces during this time.
For example, the Orcs and other holy cities have also driven out the natives in their area, and are currently consolidating the chassis they occupy and developing the nearby mineral deposits.
And the Sea Tribes also began to conquer the city a few days ago, and in the sea area to their right, there are still many indigenous Sea Tribes who have been driven to the shore to take refuge these days.
Other than that, everything else is fine.
……
At the dinner table, only Gervais, Edward, and Adella were at the table tonight.
And at such a private dinner, wine is naturally indispensable, and even Adella asked for a small half glass and drank it so that her face was flushed.
After the combination of wine and food, the conversation between the three of them at the table became more harmonious, and Gervais also brought up a sip of the strongest wine he had configured, and poured thousands of people down.
Let Adella's eyes widen after hearing the sermon, and her small mouth is slightly open, not to mention how cute it is.
Edward, on the other hand, had drunk dwarven fire wine before, and was very curious about the strength of the hellfire wine that Gervais said.
Immediately, the two of them switched from wine to hellfire wine.
After a few bowls of Hellfire, Edward gave Gervais a thumbs up.
Just three or four bowls of wine made him, a strong man at the peak level of the Red Flag, feel a little drunk.
"Gervais, with the strength of your infernal fiery wine, I'm sure no dwarf can resist the temptation! You can wait for the dwarves to come to you in St. Ann's City! ”
After drinking a pot with Gervais, Edward's face turned slightly red, and he said a word to Gervais before leaving the table.
"Haha! Thank you Duke Edward for the compliment! ”
It was rare to have such a pleasant drunkenness, so the two of them did not use their fighting spirit to dissolve their drinking, but drank a little float like ordinary people.
"Well, then you should rest early! I also took the opportunity of today to go and get a good night's sleep early! ”
Edward said to Gervais and left the restaurant first.
And Adella had already been helped to her room by the servant in the middle of the meal because of the strength of the wine.
After Edward was gone, Gervais was led by the servant to the guest room.
The room was cleaned up by Adela herself in the afternoon, and when Gervais saw the pink quilt on the bed, she knew that the young lady was considerate.
Lying on the bed, smelling the scent of Adella on the quilt, Kung Fu Gervais fell into a deep sleep in a moment.
"Huh?"
In the middle of the night, in the haze of Gervais, he found something in the quilt.
He touched it immediately, and immediately felt a soft and warm touch on his fingertips.
"Who!"
Gervais woke up instantly, but he didn't expect someone to get into his bed.
That is, he drank a lot of alcohol today and relaxed his vigilance, otherwise he would definitely find out when people enter the room on weekdays.
Gervais...... It's me! ”
Unexpectedly, there was a voice from the bed that made Gervais stunned, it was Miss Adella's daughter.
"It just thundered outside, I'm scared!"
The room was pitch black, and Adella's voice continued to be heard in the bed.
Thundered!
At this moment, a burst of white light flashed outside the window, and there was a loud rumbling sound, which was indeed lightning and thunder.
"It's okay, don't be afraid with me!"
Gervais then covered the quilt and gently patted Adella's back.
This young lady hid in the bed like a kitten, and her trembling appearance made Gervais feel distressed in an instant!
