Chapter 178 Pretend!
"Then please come this way, Lord Gervis. I will take you to where the monsters are stored!"
After getting confirmation again, Lina couldn't help but look at the unicorn's long horn a few more times. The doubt in her eyes not only did not fade away, but became even stronger.
At the castle gate, Lina had actually noticed Gervis's mount, but she didn't take it seriously. There was only one real unicorn in the entire Principality of Jean, and it was in the king's palace.
Due to the rarity of unicorns and their majestic appearance, they are deeply worshipped by the nobles. In particular, only the king has one, which further exacerbates the precious status of unicorns in people's hearts.
Although people cannot get real unicorns, some people can think of ways to realize this dream in disguise, and this method is very popular among the circles of noble young masters and young ladies in the royal capital.
That is to find a white horse, and then customize a long crystal horn similar to that of a unicorn. Just find an alchemist to stick the long crystal horn on the head of the white horse, and its appearance will be 50% similar to that of a unicorn, and it will be very face-saving to ride it.
Of course, there are good and bad white horses, ugly and handsome ones, and the crystal horns and alchemist's wages are also very expensive.
Therefore, among the "unicorns" that Lina had seen in the past, most of the fake unicorns had very short horns, some were not even as long as the palm, and some even had their crystal horns directly fixed on the horse's headgear, which looked very realistic.
After seeing Gervis's 'unicorn' today, Lina felt that Gervis's one was the most realistic. Although the horse is smaller than the king's, it can be said to be younger!
As for the long horns, they were truly impeccable, made to look lifelike and with almost the same length. Lina wondered where Gervis had them custom-made. It must have cost a lot of gold coins.
After all, it costs a lot of money to pretend to be a unicorn.
There is another reason why Lina is so sure that Gervis's unicorn is fake, that is, unicorns are the most arrogant creatures among magical beasts. She is also fortunate to have seen the king's unicorn, which is a handsome and aggressive magical beast. Except for the king himself, anyone who dares to approach the unicorn will face attack.
However, Gervis' unicorn did not show any aggressive aura at all. Even though Pat had just been away for such a long time, the unicorn did not react at all.
However, since Gervis insisted that his "unicorn" was real, Lina would not lose face for Gervis. After all, he was the Earl's husband, so Lina took him directly to a place specially used to store magical beasts.
…
Although magical beasts are rare in this world, and unicorns are even rarer, ordinary magical beasts can be owned by nobles with a little effort and good luck.
Using Warcraft as mounts is not a new trend, but it was already popular among the entire noble circle in the former kingdom. Although there are very few people who can actually obtain one, it does not mean that there are no such things. Rose Castle is a castle of the nobles, so of course there is a place to store Warcraft.
"Thank you, Housekeeper Lina!"
Gervis didn't know that because of Lina's "wide knowledge", she had deep doubts about his "unicorn" being a unicorn. She didn't immediately believe Gervis' words like Pat, a country tycoon who had never even been to the capital.
Of course, Pat believed Gervis so easily, mostly because of wine. Since Gervis could make wine, in Pat's view, it was not a shocking thing for him to get a unicorn.
With Lina leading the way, Gervis, Pat, Anna and Tren bypassed the front hall and came to the side of Rose Castle.
After arriving at the side of Rose Castle, Gervis saw a building like a small courtyard in front of him. It was surrounded by high walls on all sides and could be entered through only one gate.
"Butler Lina!"
When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the two guards in charge of guarding it hurriedly saluted and greeted them.
"Open the yard. Baron Gervis's magical beast needs to be stored! Go and get the jade box!"
"Yes, Housekeeper Lina!"
With Lina's instructions, one of the guards ran towards the inner castle gate, while the other guard swiftly opened the gate to the courtyard.
When Gervis followed him into the courtyard, he found that the scene inside was not the same as he had imagined.
Although there are space gates in the courtyard, their number is small. There are only five space gates in this spacious courtyard. The most important thing is that the surface of one of the space gates is no longer fluctuating, but is like transparent glass. The line of sight can directly penetrate through the space gate and see the scene behind the courtyard.
"Lord Gervis, just pick a space gate that is still fluctuating and bring the unicorn in!"
"Thank you!"
After listening to Lina's words, Gervis was not worried. He directly chose the second space and walked in. When Gervis entered this space, he found that the scenery inside was no different from other spaces. There were weeds and trees, but the size of the space was only about half an acre.
Gervis released his perception and felt it a little. He found that the spiritual energy in the space was not as sufficient as that in the training space. After not finding anything abnormal, Gervis gave up the investigation. After all, they were still waiting for him outside.
"Unicorn, just stay here and I'll bring you food later!"
hiss~
The unicorn had no objection and immediately kicked off its hooves and ran into the space.
After the unicorn left, Gervis turned around and exited this space.
After walking out of the space, Gervis saw Lina just taking the jade box handed to her by the guard who had just left, so he quickly walked up to Lina and looked at the jade box.
When Gervis's eyes fell on the jade box, he saw five brown elf bugs squeaking in the larger jade box.
"Telin, close your space door temporarily!"
Under Gervis's gaze, Lina picked up one of the brown elf bugs, held it in her hand, and spoke to it in a gentle tone.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
The brown elf insect named Terin was also very well-behaved. After hearing what Lina said, he closed his eyes and began to mobilize his energy.
Suddenly, a white light flashed in its head, and as the white light flashed by, Terryn opened his eyes again.
It was at this time that Gervis was surprised to find that the space gate where the unicorn was stored was actually changing. The originally fluctuating surface of the space gate slowly calmed down, and the ripples on it gradually subsided. The space gate also became transparent, becoming exactly the same as the somewhat strange space gate that Gervis had just seen.
"Baron Gervis, this is a brown spirit insect. Although the space is not suitable for farming and cultivation, it can be used to store magical beasts. The characteristic of this brown spirit insect is that its space gate can be temporarily closed without affecting the magical beasts in the space!"
Seeing that Gervis looked surprised, Lina explained to him softly.
"I see!"
Only then did Gervis realize that there really was a space for storing magical beasts, unlike himself who placed the unicorn in the training space. Fortunately, he and the unicorn had signed a contract, otherwise, there would be no way to prevent the unicorn from running out of the space.
