Chapter 286: Spread of News

Next, Gervis took Bonita and the others to walk around the manor for a while, and only then did they truly witness the arrogance of the nobles in this world.

The second floor serves as the master bedroom and other main activity areas, and it exudes luxury. The sofas, beds and chairs are all made of the finest materials and meticulously crafted by the best craftsmen.

There are many gold-cast decorations in both the corridors and bedrooms. These decorations are not the gold-plated Western goods in Gervis Castle, but real ones forged from real gold and silver.

This made Gervis very happy. If these decorations were melted into gold coins, it would be a considerable fortune. However, Gervis currently had a lot of funds in his hands, so of course he would not do such a vulgar thing.

Instead, Gervis planned to move all these valuable and exquisite furnishings back to his own Golden Castle. After all, he didn't have much time in this mansion, and not only would it be useless to keep them here, but people would also miss them after a while.

It took Gervis more than two hours to tour the entire mansion. The area of ​​this mansion was similar to that of the Snowy Manor, and it was surrounded by gardens and lawns. Only in the southwest corner were there some rooms used for storage and for servants to live in.

After feeling that he had seen enough, Gervis left three personal guards in the mansion and asked Alex to lead the team to guard it.

The two soldiers who had just seen him take over the mansion had left. There were so many precious things in the mansion, and Gervis was worried about no one guarding it.

After leaving the mansion, Gervis went to the store for a walk, took some ice cream for Bonita and Vivian, and then rushed them back to Rose Castle.

After sending the two people off, Gervis and Pat went to the arena again. Now that the system has been upgraded and the functions are more diverse, Gervis has become more eager for energy points.

Just because he was poor, he didn't dare to use his remaining 12 energy points, so Gervis would not let go of the opportunity to get energy points so easily.

…

In a blink of an eye, time flies, and a week has passed since Alice's birthday.

During this week, the guests who came to the banquet had gradually left. Many of them left Rose Castle on the third day after the banquet when the wind chime flower poison was automatically resolved.

As these guests returned from Rose Castle to various parts of the Principality, they also spread the news about what happened on the day of the Rose Castle banquet.

The news also caused a huge stir in the principality, especially the rebellion of the Grand Commander of the Rose Knights and the orcs' near capture of Rose Castle, which made the entire principality boil over for a while.

Many people are speculating on the reasons for Rawl's rebellion. Is it because the servant is strong and the master is weak that Rawl's ambition grows and he wants to seize the wealth of the Jones family? At the same time, many families that were originally on the sidelines also began to move.

Originally, apart from some particularly greedy small families who were doing some small tricks in private, many families who were watching the situation can no longer bear it and want to take a bite of the Jones family.

Although the military strength of the Jones family is still strong, its highest combat force is only three high-level silver knights, namely the two deputy commanders of the Rose Knights and a viscount vassal.

However, such supreme combat power could not match the Jones family's huge wealth. At the same time, Rawl's rebellion also made people underestimate the strength of the Jones family.

As for the orcs' attack, it also had a great impact on the nobles of the Principality. Many people were discussing who was the mastermind behind it. Some said it was done by the Earl's family, and some said it was done by the king, but only a few pointed the finger at the church.

Because of the love-hate relationship between the church and the kingdom, it was difficult for some small nobles to know the truth. Only a few major earl families and the king had vague guesses that this might be the work of the church.

Although Alice was unable to launch any counterattack against the church, the most suspected mastermind behind the attack, she sent a detailed investigation report on the attack on Rose Castle to the royal capital and submitted it to the king, but she omitted the spiritual power liquid and Gervis.

Alice's purpose is simple, which is to let King Lawrence make his own choice.

If the king continues to allow other great nobles to suppress and seize the Jones family, the one who will suffer the greatest loss in the end may not be the Jones family, but the king.

After all, although it was the Jones family that was targeted by the church this time, the church’s real purpose was to cause chaos in the Principality of Jean.

Even the former dynasty, the Snow Eagle Kingdom, could not compete with the church. When facing the church, all the nobles of the Principality of Zeon were in the same boat, and the Jones family was like a section of the hull of this ship.

If the boat is in shallow water and is damaged, it can be repaired slowly and it will not sink.

But now the church has begun to take action, the water has become deeper, and if there is a big hole in the hull of the Principality of Zeon, everyone will die together.

Therefore, the final choice depends on the king himself: whether to continue to seize the interests of the Jones family, or to stop and prepare to face the church's attack at any time.

In addition to the bad news, news about the Baron's second son, Gervis, also spread.

Gervis's deeds as the most representative gigolo in the principality have long been known to nobles of all sizes, but this time the news about Gervis is all positive, at least allowing Gervis to gain huge benefits from it.

There were only two pieces of news that spread about Gervis. One was that Gervis had a unicorn as a mount. When talking about the unicorn, people exclaimed in amazement, feeling it was incredible and unbelievable.

But no matter how rare the unicorn is, it is just a magical beast and the actual benefits are not that great, so that's all everyone does after exclaiming for a while.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

What the nobles discussed even more heatedly was that Gervis had invented golden wine.

Many guests were conquered by the delicious golden wine after tasting it brought out by Alice at the banquet.

Although the guests found it unbelievable, the wine was in their hands and they had no choice but to believe it, so before leaving, they ran to the East District Square and bought 5 jugs of golden wine.

As these people showed off the wine everywhere and invited their friends to taste it, the deliciousness of the golden wine spread thoroughly, and the golden wine became known to all the nobles in the principality.

The mellow and sweet taste, the gorgeous and noble color of the wine made all the nobles who were lucky enough to taste it crazy and wanted to come and buy it. As for wanting to buy the golden wine, more people were asking around what raw materials the golden wine was made of. Some people even offered a high reward to get the wine-making process.

People all remember Earl Carlton, who invented beer. He made his fortune with beer. Not only did he become an earl, but he also earned countless wealth because of beer.

While they were eager to drink wine, they also wanted to reap some benefits from the huge cake of wine, especially the several earl families, and even the king was the same.

After tasting the golden wine brought back by the messenger, the king specifically asked about the wine and Gervis, and even temporarily forgot the fact that Gervis had the same mount as him.

However, whether it was the king or other people with ulterior motives, they were destined to be disappointed, because Gervis and Alice did not hide the news about the raw materials of the golden wine. When people went to the shops in the square to buy wine, Yura and other servants would take the initiative to reveal the raw materials for making wine, which were wild fruits called grapes.

Grapes are only available in Storm Territory, so they cannot realize their plan of quickly seizing the profits from golden wine because of the raw materials.
