Chapter 60: Warcraft Crystal

“Anna.”

After Audrey left, Gervis turned around and looked at the little maid beside him. The little maid was still with her head down. Gervis felt a little strange, so he shouted.

"Yes, sir, what do you want me to do?"

Anna was still shy. When she heard Gervis calling her, she lowered her head and answered in a low voice.

"I heard from Thomas that you can read. Who did you learn from?"

Gervis was quite curious. The people in the territory were basically serfs, and logically there should be no literate people. So Gervis specifically asked if the person who taught Anna to read was still in the territory. Gervis also wanted to recruit that person. After all, talents were rare. If that person had good character, Gervis was prepared to arrange some administrative positions for that person in the territory, so that when Gervis gave orders, there would be someone to carry them out.

"Sir, it's Mr. Brian. Mr. Brian is a doctor. I often help him clean and sort the herbs, so Mr. Brian has been teaching me to learn characters so that I won't put the herbs in the wrong drawer."

Anna truthfully told Gervis the reason why she learned to read.

"Huh? It's Brian."

After hearing Anna's answer, Gervis was speechless for a moment. It seemed that his expectations were dashed. It was impossible to let someone who was only interested in technology to manage administration.

"It seems that I have to find some people who can manage the administration from other aspects." Gervis thought in his mind. This is what he needs to do most next. If he wants to develop the territory, he needs to establish an effective management unit first, so that he can control the entire territory step by step and reasonably allocate and utilize the serfs.

"Anna, then you continue to practice riding."

The plan to recruit people failed. Gervis looked at Audrey and Jimmy. They had already started dealing with the corpses of the storm wolves. Thinking that his muscles were still a little sore, it would be impossible for him to practice martial arts today. He might as well watch the cute little maid in front of him practice horse riding and give himself a break.

"But sir, I just..."

Anna was a little hesitant. Although she was eager to continue practicing, she was worried that if the situation just now happened again and something happened to the horse, she really couldn't afford the compensation.

"It's okay. I'll be watching over there. Just ride with confidence. Only if you learn to ride a horse sooner can you really stay by my side."

Gervis waved his hand to interrupt Anna's words. Knowing what the little maid was worried about, he gave her a shot in the arm and said that he would take care of her.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

When Anna heard what Gervis said, her heart was suddenly filled with happiness. The Baron actually watched her practice horse riding. This was something Anna had never dared to imagine before. For Anna, who had just been rescued by Gervis, it was really a bit flattered.

Watching Anna climb back onto the horse, Gervis found a shady place to rest. After just a moment, a male servant came to Gervis carrying a recliner.

Gervis lay quietly on the recliner, watching the cute little maid riding a horse while thinking about the affairs of the territory.

…

"What a lucky little guy." Thomas murmured in the distance. He had been in the castle and heard someone shouting loudly in the vestibule. He hurried out. When he walked out of the inner castle, he saw Audrey and others returning here. So he asked them. After learning what happened, Thomas felt a chill on his back. If something really happened, he would definitely not be able to escape.

Thomas, who was still frightened, saw that only Gervis and Anna were left there, so he didn't plan to rush over. He didn't want to disturb the relationship between Gervis and his personal maid, especially when a hero just came to save the damsel in distress.

"By the way, my Lord hasn't had lunch yet. I have to ask the servant to bring some to my Lord!"

As soon as Thomas returned to the inner castle, he remembered that Gervis had not had lunch yet, so he ran into the restaurant and told Yura to deliver the food to Gervis.

…

"If only there were some ice!"

Drinking the juice and eating the barbecue brought by the maid, Gervis sighed softly. This juice was made by Jimmy using some wild fruits. It was sweet and sour and delicious. It was the most suitable drink in this hot summer. It was a pity that there was no ice cubes. If some ice cubes were added, Gervis felt it would be very refreshing.

"According to the time, Laurie should have delivered the letter to my cheap dad and Rose Castle. I hope my cheap dad's support can arrive soon."

Gervis's thoughts were wandering, and he suddenly thought of the buffer zone. He urgently hoped that Gandalf's support would arrive soon, because Viscount Lanny's camp had been built for some time, and Gervis was worried that the valuables in the camp would be sent back to Lanny's territory during this period.

Another reason is that Gervase is in urgent need of the supplies that Gandalf gave him. Without those supplies, Gervase has no way to develop his territory.

Gervis is also preparing to put the town's sanitation situation on the agenda. New public toilets are to be built around the town to prevent the roads in the town from being covered with feces and urine. The stench can be smelled from afar, and the things collected in the public toilets can be composted after fermentation. As long as the composting effect is evident, Gervis believes that even if he does not force the sanitation renovation at that time, the serfs will not be willing to dump them on the path as they do now.

…

"Oh my god, what is this? It looks like a gem."

"Idiot, this is a Warcraft crystal. God, it is actually a Warcraft crystal."

Just then, exclamations from afar interrupted Gervis's thoughts.

"Magic Beast Crystal?" Gervis' eyes lit up instantly and he looked in the direction where the voice came from. It was where Jimmy O'Dry and others were dealing with the Storm Wolves.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After Gervis looked over, the crowd over there also had a motive. They saw Audrey washing something in the bucket, and then ran towards Gervis without hesitation.

"Sir, it's a Warcraft crystal. It's a Warcraft crystal."

Audrey ran very fast, but he raised his hands high and clenched them tightly, for fear that the things in his hands would fall.

Holding the Warcraft crystal in his hand, Audrey came in front of Gervis, then he loosened his hand and handed the Warcraft crystal to Gervis.

Gervis was also extremely excited and quickly took the magic crystal from Audrey. This magic crystal of the storm wolf was dark green and translucent, about the same size as a pigeon egg, with clear edges and corners, symmetrical like a work of art, and shining brightly under the sunlight.

"It's really rich, but how can this low-level storm wolf have a magic beast crystal? According to the original owner's memory, this is harder than winning the lottery."

Looking at the gem-like magic crystal in his hand, Gervis's mind was working rapidly, recalling the information about the magic crystal. After all, the original owner had studied in the noble school in Winterfell for several years, and he also learned about things like Warcraft crystals in school.

Most Warcraft can release spells such as wind, fire, thunder and lightning. They are born with this attribute. For example, the storm wolf can emit wind blades from its mouth. People classify it as a wind-type Warcraft. The Warcraft wolf is still a low-level Warcraft. Some mid- and high-level Warcraft spells are more powerful and more peculiar.

Casting spells by Warcraft also consumes mana, just like humans' fighting spirit. When a Warcraft's mana is used up, it needs to absorb and store mana again before it can continue to cast spells.

Some mid- to high-level Warcraft have intelligence that allows them to understand how to accumulate magic power. After a long period of deliberate accumulation, it will slowly condense into this kind of Warcraft crystal in the Warcraft's brain.

Warcraft crystals are actually the purest energy aggregates with attributes.
