Chapter 111: Robbed by Warcraft!
As if sensing Gervis's thoughts, the unicorn, after finding nothing, slowly approached Gervis. The two were only ten meters apart. As the unicorn slowly approached, Gervis felt that his back was soaked and sweat appeared on his forehead, and his heartbeat became more and more intense as the unicorn approached.
"What should I do? What should I do? I can't beat him. This unicorn's low-level gold medal fighter is no exaggeration. Even a high-level bronze knight can only fight him on equal terms. If he is not careful, he will capsize in the ditch, not to mention Gervis, a low-level bronze knight.
"Do you want to give it the purple kiwi fruit?"
10 meters, 9 meters... 6 meters. As the unicorn got closer and closer, Gervis' mind was full of thoughts. Although the sword in his hand was still steadily facing the approaching unicorn, Gervis knew that he had no chance of winning.
He guessed that it was the purple kiwi fruit that attracted the monster, but he was reluctant to leave the kiwi fruit here. After all, he worked hard to get the 10 energy points, and he didn't even know the effect of the fruit. He didn't know when he would be able to collect 10 energy points again.
5 meters...4...
"Fuck, your life is more important. I'll take the blame this time. Just wait for me next time. Sooner or later, you'll be mine too!"
Finally, reason overcame greed. Even though he was reluctant, compared with his own life, Gervis still chose to save his own. At this distance, the unicorn only needed to leap lightly to reach him and attack.
After making up his mind, Gervis opened the panel without hesitation. As soon as he thought about it, a foul smell wafted from his palm.
When the unicorn saw the purple kiwi fruit that suddenly appeared in Gervis's palm, its eyes began to glow and it stared at the purple kiwi fruit. Its steps that had been approaching suddenly stopped and its two big nostrils were moving, constantly smelling the unpleasant smell emitted by the kiwi fruit.
Oh~
After a while, the unicorn had had enough of the unpleasant smell of the purple kiwi fruit, and shook its head and hummed softly, as if it was very comfortable.
Seeing the unicorn's reaction, Gervis knew that his guess was correct. He didn't expect that in order to avoid being seen, he deliberately chose the edge of the dark forest to conduct experiments, but it attracted the covetousness of monsters.
"Damn it, I can't let my grandma lose money, I have to leave some for myself."
Seeing the purple kiwi fruit the size of a grapefruit in his hand, Gervis was about to throw it away, but he was reluctant to do so. So he quickly chopped his palm with a long sword, and immediately split the purple kiwi fruit into two halves. Before the unicorn could see clearly, Gervis threw the smaller half away, and then with a thought, he put the larger half into the panel.
The unicorn also noticed Gervis's actions and thought that the human in front of him wanted to attack him and snatch the tempting fruit. Just as he was about to launch an attack, the human threw the fruit out unexpectedly. So the unicorn no longer cared about Gervis and hurriedly ran to the side, took the small half of the kiwi fruit thrown away by Gervis into his mouth, and began to eat.
Then the unicorn stopped paying attention to Gervis because it could feel that Gervis was not a big threat to it and that he no longer had the tempting smell.
The sky is big and the earth is big, but the fruit in its mouth is the biggest. Although its IQ is not as high as that of mid- and high-level monsters, it also knows what to prioritize. The thing in its mouth may improve its strength. In order to prevent other monsters from competing for it, it needs to eat the fruit quickly to avoid accidents.
After throwing away a small portion of the purple kiwifruit, Gervis finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the unicorn turning around and chasing after the kiwifruit. Although he lost half of the kiwifruit, he would just consider it as a loss of money to avoid disaster. This was a lesson learned. He would have to consider everything carefully in the future when doing anything.
Looking at the unicorn eating in the distance, Gervis held his sword and slowly retreated out of the forest. Although the crisis seemed to be resolved for the time being, the original owner had a lot of knowledge about combat in his memory. The most important thing was to never leave your back to nearby enemies. Therefore, even though he was dozens of meters away from the unicorn, Gervis still kept his eyes on the unicorn and retreated away.
"Phew, that's fucking scary! I can't be so reckless anymore. I almost got myself killed!"
After slowly retreating to the open area outside the dark forest, Gervis finally breathed a sigh of relief and ran quickly towards the road.
"My Lord! You are back!"
When Gervis ran quickly to the side of the road, he slowed down his body, looked calm, and appeared in front of Anna and others.
"Well, I'm back. Let's go."
Gervis, who had just escaped death, forced a smile, nodded to the cute little maid, led the horse tied to the tree, and with a graceful flip, he landed on the horse.
"Yes, sir!"
The little maid Anna had no idea that her lord had just been robbed by a unicorn. Seeing her lord turning over so gracefully, her eyes were full of admiration. She responded in a sticky voice and also stepped on the saddle and rode on the horse.
After the three of them got on their horses, Gervis was worried that the unicorn might find them, so he didn't delay any longer and urged his horses to gallop forward.
Anna and two guards followed closely behind. After a period of practice, Anna's riding skills had improved greatly. She could control the horse very well on such flat ground, so Gervis didn't have to worry about his little maid falling behind.
After galloping for a while, Gervis and others caught up with Audry and others when they were about to reach the castle. The new guards were already exhausted. When they heard the sound of horse hooves behind them, they knew that the lord was coming, and the few people at the back gritted their teeth and rushed forward.
The people in the front also saw the people behind trying hard to catch up, and they all accelerated and started to sprint, not wanting to be outdone. This created a strange scene. Obviously, everyone had no strength left, but in this final stage, these people were running much faster than in the middle section.
Two minutes later, the running team finally arrived at the starting point, the gentle slope outside the castle.
"grown ups!"
"grown ups!"
"Well, have you memorized the order of running?"
The new guards stood there with weak legs and feet. Gervis rode over on horseback. Everyone saluted him one by one. Gervis nodded to them and then turned his gaze to Audrey and Laurie.
"Noted, sir!"
"Very good, call them out!"
At this moment, many servants had walked out of the castle, holding food and water in their hands. This was the lunch prepared for the guards in the castle.
"Yes, sir!"
Soon the top ten and bottom five guards were called out and stood in two rows. The guards at the top of the list were all smiling and excited, while the guards at the end were dejected.
"My lord, the food is ready!"
When the servants carrying the food came down the gentle slope under the leadership of a kitchen helper, they all stopped in front of Gervis. The kitchen helper bowed respectfully to Gervis and waited for his instructions.
"Put it on the long table over there. I'll let them go over there to get their food later. The bowl of meat and ice water are only for the first ten people. Don't make any mistakes."
Nodding to the kitchen helper, Gervis pointed to the simple hut that had just been built nearby and gave instructions to the kitchen helper.
It is called a thatched hut, but it is actually similar to a pavilion, except that it is supported by four large wooden stakes and has no walls. It is completely covered with thatch. This is the 'canteen' of these guards.
In order to show the difference between the winners and the losers, Gervis used the method he learned on Earth. He let them get their own food and then eat together. In this way, it was easy to see who had a good meal and who had no food.
"Yes, sir!"
Following Gervis's instructions, the kitchen helper and several servants quickly walked to the thatched hut. Pots of food were placed on the long table. The food was not very good, but the quantity was large. Except for a bowl of greasy wild boar meat which was a little less, the other white bread, vegetables, and greasy soup each filled two large buckets.
"Did you see this? This is your lunch for today. The first ten people to go wash their hands now and get their own bowls to line up for lunch! Remember to line up in order. If anyone fights for food, their lunch will be forfeited."
The fragrance emanating from the wooden basin had already been smelled by the thirty recruits. After a morning of intense exercise, these men were already starving and were all swallowing their saliva.
Looking at their expressions, Gervis was very satisfied. Only under such an effect could the benefits of the winner be reflected.
"Yes, sir!" After hearing Gervis's permission, the top ten recruits couldn't wait, saluted to Gervis, and immediately ran over there. Fortunately, they remembered Gervis' words to line up, and did not rush up like beggars.
"Are you envious? You're right to be envious. Think about why only they can eat meat and you can't? And for the five of you, military orders are as heavy as mountains. Your lunch is cancelled. Laurie, take them to drink some water later!"
Seeing the ten recruits leading the way to get food, especially when a large piece of red wild boar meat was put into the bowl of Alex, who was the first in line, everyone who stayed there was envious.
After the ten people had finished their meals, it was the turn of the others. Although there was no meat, the lunch provided by the castle was still a great delicacy for them, especially the soup with oil and the rough white bread. They all came forward happily to get their meals.
Only five people stood there dejectedly, holding five bowls of boiling water that Laurie had scooped for them.
"You failed today, but there's still tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I hope you can perform well. Now go and take a rest on the chair over there. We'll continue training in the afternoon! Disband now!"
