Chapter 130 Pat's Surprise
While Gervis was still angry about the injustice of God, Pat's convoy below had stopped its horses. The guards in front scattered on both sides of the road. The carriage riding Baron Pat drove out of the crowd, and then two guard captains followed on horseback.
As the wheels rolled, the huge and luxurious carriage finally arrived at the flat ground outside the castle gate. When the carriage stopped, the coachman and the personal servant sitting in the front of the carriage quickly jumped off the carriage, took out a wooden step from the side of the carriage, and the two knights also dismounted and came to the side of the carriage to wait.
After the valet and the coachman placed the ladder under the door frame of the carriage, they opened the door and waited for Baron Pat to come out.
"Haha, respected Lord Gervis, I hope my coming here will not cause you any inconvenience!"
The voice came before the person. When Gervis was staring at the door of the carriage, loud voices were heard from inside the carriage. As the voices fell, a fat young man came out of the carriage.
"I thought he was a handsome, muscular, tough guy, but he turned out to be a fat boy! What's even more puzzling is that this fat boy is also a titled knight."
The guards armed to the teeth and the luxurious and ostentatious carriage made Gervis think that Baron Pat was either a tough guy or a very elegant man. However, he could never have imagined that Baron Pat was actually a fat boy next door. What was even more strange was that Baron Pat was a fat man, but he was also a titled knight.
Although it is normal for a noble to become a titled knight, it is not normal for a fat man to become a titled knight.
Because the titled knight first needs to train hard to strengthen the body, and secondly, after breaking through to become the titled knight, the body will be slowly transformed and strengthened. Even if some people are taller, that is muscle, not fat.
"You are joking, Lord Pat. It is my honor to have you visit the Golden Castle. I welcome you very much!"
Although Baron Pat's appearance was beyond his expectations, it didn't matter what Pat looked like. Gervis was just a little confused. He suppressed his doubts, put on a warm smile on his face, and began to respond to the compliments.
"The Golden Castle welcomes you, Lord Baron Pat!"
As Baron Pat walked out of the carriage, Thomas immediately ordered the servants to stand in a row and came to Baron Pat's side. Baron Pat was obviously very experienced. He just glanced at Thomas, then took the towel handed by the servant and wiped his hands. After a simple wash, he came to Gervis.
"Baron Gervis, I have long heard of you, the Earl's husband. Today I finally have the honor of meeting you!"
Baron Pat smiled brightly. Although he was a little fat, the body of a knight with the title was still very agile. Pat walked in a few steps to Gervis, performed the noble etiquette, and continued to talk to Gervis.
"Thank you for the compliment. It's my honor to be Alice's husband!"
Gervis was telling the truth. It seemed that it was an absolute honor for him to be Alice's husband, so he said it generously and gave Pat a noble gift.
After greeting each other with Gervis, Pat noticed Anna next to Gervis. Anna was wearing silk clothes today, which made her look even more charming against her fair and pretty face. She was also standing next to Gervis, which made Pat hesitate whether to greet her.
Because according to his understanding, Gervis seemed to have a sister, who was about the same age as the woman in front of him. If she was really Gervis's sister, it would be very rude if he did not greet her. After thinking for a moment, Pat asked Gervis cautiously: "Baron Gervis, is this beautiful lady your sister?"
"Uh... Baron Pat, this is my personal servant..."
Gervis was slightly embarrassed. He could understand Pat's thoughts. Without knowing the truth, he might have mistaken Anna for the eldest daughter of a noble family. After all, which serf could be so pretty? Her fair skin was exactly like that of a spoiled noble lady.
"Ahem! Ahem! I see! My apologies! My apologies!"
Pat could never have imagined that Gervis would dare to blatantly use a maid as his personal servant. When he heard the answer, he almost choked to death on his own saliva. You, a male noble, actually have a personal maid, and she is so beautiful. Aren't you really worried about the Earl?
"Baron Pat, you must be exhausted from the journey. Let's go sit down inside the castle and talk. Please come in!"
Gervis suddenly found that Pat was looking at him with an inexplicable look. He was a little confused and thought that Pat was embarrassed because he had recognized the wrong person. So he immediately invited Baron Pat into the castle to resolve the embarrassment and avoid giving his first visitor an unpleasant experience.
"Sorry to bother you then!"
Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Pat walked side by side with Gervis, walked on the brand new red carpet and entered the castle gate. Behind him, a group of servants followed on both sides, walking on the land without red carpet.
…
“Huh!”
When Pat and Gervis arrived at the vestibule, the sight they saw made Pat exclaim in surprise.
At this moment, he and Gervis were walking in the front. Without anyone else blocking their view, they could see the scene in the vestibule clearly.
"Baron Gervis, how are these guards of yours trained?"
What surprised Pat was the squads of guards standing in rows. The guards' equipment was not very sophisticated, but the posture and aura of each person was something Pat had never seen before, not even in Rose Castle.
Whenever he and Gervis walked past a pair of guards, they would salute them, and as they moved forward, the guards' eyes would follow them.
As a lord, Pat has many more guards under his command than Gervis, nearly a hundred people, but his men do not have the same mental outlook as Gervis and his guards.
Take the 30 elite soldiers he brought today for example. Pat had asked them to welcome many visiting nobles, but they did not have the uniform standing posture of guards like Gervis. There was no distinctive feature in that standing posture at all. It was the first time he had seen guards like Gervis standing so beautifully!
"Excuse me, Baron Pat. You know my territory. There is no entertainment in it. I have nothing to do, so I like to train them randomly. One day I found that they were standing crookedly, so I set a standard for them. I didn't expect it to have such an effect!"
These words were of course made up by Gervis. If he had not seen the demeanor of the soldiers on Earth, he would not have been able to learn them so well. He also took into account that the guards sometimes needed to serve as ceremonial soldiers, so he specifically taught them how to salute when welcoming guests.
Raise your head, straighten your chest, tighten your abdomen, and keep your feet together. These movements may seem simple, but as long as you unify and practice these key points well, your temperament will definitely be outstanding. It is precisely because of this outstanding temperament that it instantly attracted Pat's attention.
"I see. It seems I need to learn more from Baron Gervis. I don't think even the nobles can train such excellent soldiers!"
It is said that clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. This saying is the result of thousands of years of summary. The weapons and equipment of the guards under Gervis can only be said to be inferior to those of Baron Pat's guards. In terms of martial arts, they are even more incomparable because of the short period of training.
But just because of the standing posture that won Pat's recognition, Pat had the illusion that these soldiers of Gervis were more elite than his subordinates, or at least not worse than his subordinates.
It was clear from the armor on the horses how much Pat had invested in his 30 elite knights. If Gervis knew what Pat was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud.
