Chapter 234: Huge Stakes
"Baron Gervis, please speak!"
Gervis' words gave Boris a glimpse of the possibility of tricking Gervis, so he directly let Gervis state his request.
"I don't have that much cash on me! But I have a shop in the East District, which is worth more than 1,500 gold coins, and two Warcraft crystals, which should be worth 2,000 gold coins, right? Then I have 500 gold coins, plus 1,000 jugs of wine! The total value should be no less than 5,000 gold coins."
"So, you, a little elf, are not good enough to bet with me. You must raise the stakes!"
Gervis stated his request, and when he listed the items he was going to use as stakes one by one, many people present looked at Gervis in surprise. Although they were in the Earl's family, many of them still depended on their fathers for their living. Although they had a lot of money to spend on a daily basis, few of them could afford a fortune worth four or five thousand gold coins, and they were going to use it for a gamble.
Nathan, Vivian and Bonita behind Gervis looked at Gervis as if they saw an alien. They could never imagine that Gervis actually possessed such wealth. How long had Gervis been the lord?
Gandalf had been the baron lord for decades, but because he took out 1,000 gold coins at one time, his family fell into financial crisis. Fortunately, Gandalf was still off the court at the moment and didn't know what was happening in the stands, otherwise, he would definitely knock the brains out of Gervis, the prodigal.
Boris did not agree immediately, but fell into deep thought. Then he walked to Kevin and whispered a few words to Kevin.
"Baron Gervis, the price you mentioned is a bit high, but I can accept it. A little elf really can't compare to your bet. I only have 500 gold coins on me, but I just borrowed two things from Viscount Kevin. Do you think this is enough?"
As he spoke, Boris took out two exquisite little whips from his hands.
"Is this the authority of the longsword and longbow slave soldiers?"
Suddenly, Gervis' eyes lit up. What Boris was holding in his hand were the two small whips that Kevin had bought at the slave market auction that day.
"Kevin, are you crazy? These two teams of slave soldiers were prepared by the Great Prince for you during your southern expedition!"
Caroline, who was separated from Kevin by a person, could no longer sit still. Although she knew that the bet must be related to Kevin, Caroline did not want to care about it. After all, Kevin was not a fool. He must have had a plan to be able to take out such a valuable thing for a bet. Moreover, the elf was probably asked by Kevin from his mother, so losing would not have much impact on the Southern Expedition.
However, Caroline was angry when Kevin took out the whip of the slave soldier. This was the whip that the eldest prince bought for Kevin in order to win over Kevin and allow Kevin to accumulate merit in this southern expedition and quickly grow into a helper.
Caroline was not worried about the money, but it was not easy to find such excellent slave soldiers every year, and now it was about to enter autumn. If these slave soldiers were lost, Kevin would be alone in the southern expedition. How could he achieve any merit with a few ordinary soldiers? Even if the eldest prince was willing to help, Kevin probably would not be able to get any benefits.
"Caroline, I'm sure I'll win this time! Don't worry!"
Kevin didn't care about Carolla's questioning at all. Instead, he was full of confidence. After answering Caroline, he didn't continue looking at her.
Seeing Kevin like this, Caroline could only frown slightly, and then sat back in her seat. At the moment, there were many people watching in public, and Kevin now represented the Larkin family. Caroline could not stop Kevin directly like she did in the private room that day.
"Almost, but we also need to add the two that opened the space...!"
"Can!"
Boris agreed before Gervis finished speaking.
Seeing that Boris answered so straightforwardly, Gervis stopped talking and started asking questions directly.
"Are there any restrictions on weapons during combat?"
"There are no restrictions, you can use any weapons and equipment you want!"
"Are you sure I will win as long as I kill all the orcs in the two orc spaces?"
"Sure!"
"Can you guarantee that the elf will change the contract immediately after the bet is over?"
"able!"
Gervais asked several questions in succession, and Boris gave Gervais satisfactory answers.
"Very good! Then I agree to bet with you. The earl representatives present here will act as notaries! And please put the bet on that table. Do you have any objection to this?"
Gervis agreed immediately. He really couldn't resist the temptation of the elf. Even though he knew it might be a trap, he still wanted to give it a try, just like Kevin that day. Of course, Gervis also had a lot of confidence to dare to make the bet.
Gervis guessed that the only thing that could make Kevin do something was the elf bugs themselves. Gervis estimated that they had a purple elf. Otherwise, if there were only two elf bugs, even the weaker title knights and 14 ordinary soldiers would be able to defeat them.
Although Gervis didn't know what strength of orcs the elves could produce, he thought that even if they were stronger, with the guards' excellent mithril equipment and muskets, there was still a great chance of victory.

As the saying goes, fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. Gervis felt that the elf was worth the risk.
"As you wish, Baron Gervis!" Boris and Kevin never thought they would lose, and with so many earl representatives present, even Alice couldn't be partial, so Boris consciously placed the elf's jade box, gold coins and small whip on the square table next to Gervis' seat. "
Gervis immediately took out two gem-like monster crystals, gold coins and the shop deed from his arms. As for the wine, there was no need to take it out because so many people at the scene heard it anyway.
Boris didn't take out the purple elf bug that opened the space, after all, he would need it later!
"Give me half a quarter of an hour. I still have people in Rose Castle!"
The bets were placed, so Gervis said nothing more, said something to Boris, and then walked out of the central stand.
When they arrived at the bottom of the arena, Gervis found a guard from the Jones family, rewarded him with 10 copper coins, asked him to ride to Rose Castle to call three slave soldiers for him, and asked him to prepare carriages to send the slave soldiers to save their energy.
The guard of the Jones family already knew Gervis's identity. After receiving the 10 copper coins, he agreed even more enthusiastically. He immediately jumped on his horse and galloped towards Rose Castle.
