Chapter 150: Magic Crystal of the Three-Colored Deer
"Third thing, I have a prescription here. Please arrange for someone to help me purchase it!"
As he spoke, Gervis took out a piece of paper from his bosom. It contained the various herbs needed for the "Fiery Fighting Qi Art". These herbs were not cheap and Brian definitely did not have them, so he needed to send someone to Baron Pat's territory to buy them.
"These are the three things we need to do right now. Thomas, tell me what plans you have for this caravan's trip!"
"My Lord, I am just about to report to you!"
After listening to Gervis' question, Thomas put away the notebook with the records and respectfully began to answer the caravan's plans.
"Sir, in the first half, I will take Jimmy's two apprentice cooks to visit other lords' castles. I will first grill oysters for the nobles for free in your name. I will accompany them to at least two noble castles. By then, they will be familiar with how to get along with the nobles. I will split the caravan into two, and I will lead Johnny, Eula and others to Winterfell to sell ice cream and ice cubes."
"The other team is Jimmy's two apprentices. I have prepared four kitchen assistants for them and left half of their guards. They will visit every noble lord in the earldom to promote golden oysters!"
"Very nice, Thomas!"
Gervis was very satisfied with Thomas's arrangements. Jimmy's two apprentices had only been recruited not long ago and were still unfamiliar with many etiquettes. If Thomas did not take them to try a few times, there was a risk of being rude and angering other lords.
Even if they have the title of Gervis to protect them, the business will probably fail. Gervis is preparing to take over the entire earldom's oyster business, because the technology of buying and selling oysters is a one-time deal, and it's all about time. If it's delayed for too long, there's no guarantee that the method of roasting oysters will be spread privately by the nobles. In that case, let alone gold coins, Gervis probably won't get a single copper penny.
The technology of roasting oysters is only a one-time deal. What Gervis really wants to make lasting is the oysters themselves. As long as the nobles accept oysters, the noble lords located inland can only buy fresh oysters from Gervis, because other seaside nobles do not have ice to keep them fresh.
So it can be said that selling fresh oysters in the inland is Gervis' exclusive business.
Seeing that Gervis was very satisfied with his plan, Thomas carefully continued to report to Gervis: "Sir, in order to avoid being impolite when visiting those noble lords, I also made a set of silk blouses for the two apprentice cooks. They are the cheapest ones!"
Of course Gervis didn't care. Instead, he felt that Thomas was doing the right thing. Of course, you have to dress up when you go door-to-door to sell goods. Otherwise, you will look like a beggar and people will lose their appetite when they see you. How can they dare to eat what you cook? Gervis didn't expect this. Thomas, the butler, was very thoughtful.
"Thomas..."
Boom boom boom~
"Come in!"
Just as Gervis was about to continue praising Thomas, there was a knock on the door outside the hall, interrupting Gervis' words. Gervis and Thomas looked at each other before he responded.
Thomas and I were in the hall, and the servants generally would not disturb our conversation unless it was something important!
"Sir, Captain Laurie is asking for an audience at the gate of the inner castle. He said that a magic crystal was found in the body of the tri-colored deer!"
The servant lowered his head, carefully came to Gervis, and reported in a low voice.
"What? Another magic crystal was discovered?"
This time even Gervis couldn't sit still. He stood up and confirmed again excitedly.
"Yes... yes, sir, Captain Laurie said so!"
The servant was frightened by Gervis's sudden raised tone and quickly explained to Gervis.
"Okay, you step back first!"
"Thomas, everything has been explained. You can make the arrangements later. I'll go check on Laurie first!"
"Yes, sir!"
Thomas had also stood up from his chair, and upon hearing Gervis' words, he immediately bowed in response.
After giving the instructions, Gervis couldn't wait to walk out of the hall, quickly passed through the castle corridor, and came to the vestibule.
"My Lord! Gods above! We have found another magic crystal!"
As soon as Gervis stepped out of the inner castle gate, Laurie was already waiting at the door. When he saw Gervis coming out, he was as excited as Audrey last time. He tightly grasped a green gem in his hand and presented it to Gervis like a treasure.
"It is indeed a Warcraft crystal!"
Gervis took the emerald gem handed over by Laurie and after careful inspection confirmed that it was the Warcraft crystal. The appearance of the tri-color deer's Warcraft crystal was exactly the same as the storm wolf's Warcraft crystal, with sharp edges on the surface. The only difference was that the color was emerald green.
"What's going on?"
Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful emerald green monster crystal, Gervis had questions in his mind. Of course, Gervis was happy to obtain such a treasure, but this matter was too abnormal.
The rarity of Warcraft crystals is recognized by the world, and only mid- and high-level Warcraft have a certain chance of possessing them. However, he had only hunted two low-level Warcraft in total, but obtained Warcraft crystals from these two beasts.
Being able to obtain a Warcraft crystal from a low-level Warcraft, Gervis felt that he was protected by the knight boss, but getting the second one in succession made him doubt his life.
"Sir, is this Warcraft crystal fake?"
Laurie was very excited, and he felt honored to be able to participate in such a lucky event. However, when Gervis took the Warcraft crystal, he did not show the joy he should have, which made Laurie wonder if there was something wrong with the Warcraft crystal.
"No problem, this magic beast crystal is real. But Laurie, don't you think it's a bit strange that two low-level magic beasts both gave out magic beast crystals?"
Seeing Laurie's nervous look, Gervais smiled and asked him back.
"My Lord, what's so strange about this? You are the one who has been blessed with the glory of a knight, and this has been proven to be true over the past period of time, so I think it is normal. And the more treasures like this you get, the happier you should be, right?"
Laurie's words came from the bottom of his heart. Not only him, but almost everyone in the castle believed that Gervis was a man shrouded in the glory of a knight, because Gervis had created so many miracles.
"Haha, Laurie, you're right. The more treasures like this I can get, the happier I should be!"
There are too many unsolved mysteries in this world, which makes Gervis too wary in his heart, so he can't help being startled. However, after hearing Laurie's words, Gervis suddenly became enlightened. No matter what the reason, it is a happy thing for him to get the treasure. How can he look back and forth? Otherwise, it will be so tiring to live his life again!
“Today is such a great day!”
Gervis held the second Warcraft crystal in his hand and cheered in his heart!
