Chapter 213 Conspiracy! (Monthly ticket plus more)
Next, Gervis took out some basic history books about the principality and the former kingdom from the bookshelf and started reading. These history books were different from the popular books on the market.
It recorded many wars and political events that even the minor nobles were unaware of, which gave Gervis a little understanding of the current situation and origins of the three principalities.
Time passed unknowingly as Gervis read. During this time, the maid Anna came twice, poured tea for Gervis and Alice, and then left the study.
After briefly reading a few books, Gervis put them back on the bookshelf, said goodbye to Alice, and then returned to the second floor.
It was already evening, and Gervis was going to ask Alex to go to his shop to see how business was today, and then treat Pat, Iger and the captain of the guard to a meal.
Before Gervis came, he had planned to thank Iger, but he didn't have time yesterday, so he took the opportunity of today's opening to invite him for a meal.
Alice's birthday is coming up in a few days. After the birthday party, I will return to Storm Territory to prepare for the southern expedition.
Gervis had already obtained Iger's address through Lina. When he arrived at the store, he would just ask the servant to invite him to the door. After all, it was just a casual meal, so there was no need to get any invitations or anything like that.
After calling Pat, Gervis rode an ordinary horse directly to the door of the store. Although it was already dusk, there were still many people at the door of the store, mostly children and women. They should all come to buy ice cream.
Of course there were a few men, but because the ice cream had been placed at the door for sale, all you could see at first glance were children and women.
"grown ups!"
When Gervis came into the store, Yura saw Gervis and immediately bowed respectfully.
"Eula, how are your sales today!"
"Sir, 89 bottles of wine have been sold. I can't count the ice cream, but five boxes have been moved out!"
Yura answered quickly, taking out a purse from his pocket and handing it to Gervis.
Gervis took the purse handed to him by Yura and shook it to weigh it. He was quite satisfied with the store's sales this afternoon.
After all, 89 jugs of wine meant 89 gold coins were deposited into the account, and the store had just opened today. When the news about the golden wine spread the next day or the day after tomorrow, Gervis could predict that sales would absolutely explode.
Gerves doesn't have to worry about sales now. Instead, he has to worry about whether there is enough wine to sell and whether the wine can last until the next batch of wine is made.
Although there are still some scattered grapes in the wild, they are definitely not that many. What Gervis is counting on now is the grapes within the space. Because the crops within the space can be harvested three times a year, it will take at least four months to make a large amount of wine again.
"Eula, you did a great job. After these guests leave, you can go to Rose Castle to have dinner. After dinner, send two people to the store to guard the night. Clean up a room upstairs for them to sleep in!"
"Yes, sir! It is our blessing to serve you!"
When Yura heard Gervis' praise, the smile on his face became even brighter. It was an honor for servants like them to receive praise from the lord.
In this world with clear hierarchies, even if the servants did a good job, it was their due. Whether the noble masters would praise them or not depended on their mood. However, Gervis would not be stingy with his praise.
After walking out of the shop with satisfaction, Gervis and Pat headed towards Snowland Manor. As for Iger and Anthony, Gervis had already sent servants to invite them.
…
Soon Gervis and Pat arrived at the entrance of Snowland Manor and were taken to the restaurant on the second floor by the maid with ease. Since there was no auction this time, they ate directly in the closed box on the second floor.
It was Gervis's treat today, so he was the one who ordered the food. Gervis originally wanted to order some delicious monster meat, but unfortunately, this time their luck was not as good as the first time.
The only monster meat available in the Snowy Manor today was Snow Rabbit meat. Gervis didn't really want to eat it, but thinking that Iger and Anthony would be here later, he ordered five pounds of Snow Rabbit meat. After all, he and Pat were used to eating monster meat with a good taste, but Iger and Anthony probably wouldn't have much chance to eat it.
Since I'm thanking them, even though the Snow Rabbit meat doesn't taste as good, it's also the signature dish of the Snowland Manor and I must order it.
Gervis didn't have to wait long. When Gervis had just ordered the food, Iger came to the door of the private room led by the maid.
When Gervis saw Iger, he immediately stood up from his chair with a smile and greeted Iger warmly: "Sir Iger, it's a pleasure to see you again!"
"Baron Gervis, it's an honor to meet you again! Baron Gervis's ice cream impressed me so much!"
"Haha, I have to thank Lord Iger for his help last time, but why didn't Captain Anthony come today?"
Gervis found that the only person who came was Iger, and there was no sign of Anthony, so he asked.
"Baron Gervis, Anthony has been staying at the Rose Knights' base these days and cannot go out, so he cannot come. It seems that the Rose Knights will be reviewed in two days."
Iger explained to Gervis.
"I see. I'll have to thank Captain Anthony next time. Sir Iger, please take a seat!"
After hearing what Iger said, Gervis was not surprised. After all, the Rose Knights were the elite of the Jones family. When the time came, they would be brought out to show off in front of all the guests, which would be a display of their own strength. After all, the Jones family was now in turmoil due to internal and external troubles.
…
In the east district of Winterfell, it was completely dark at this moment. A luxurious carriage was driving along the neat streets. After traveling for a distance, the carriage turned into an alley at a corner.
This alley is the back door of a luxurious mansion. When the carriage arrived at the back door, the back door had been opened. A man with a majestic appearance and an aura of a superior between his brows was standing inside the door waiting.
After the carriage stopped, a middle-aged man in white linen clothes got out of the carriage. His white linen clothes were out of place with the luxurious environment around him.
In addition to the clothes, the aura of the man in linen white is also in sharp contrast to that of the mighty man. The man in linen white has short hair and a peaceful face, which makes people feel good at first sight.
"Come in!"
When the mighty man saw the man in white get off the carriage, he didn't say anything else. He just made a gesture of invitation and then led the man in white towards the luxurious mansion.
In the study, the mighty man and the man in white sat opposite each other. The mighty man was the owner of the mansion. After dismissing all the servants, the mighty man spoke: "We have no relationship since the last transaction. What is the reason for your coming this time?"
"Please calm down, Lord Viscount! I came here this time for a great benefit. I want to cooperate with Lord Viscount again!"
Faced with the oppressive questioning from the mighty man, the man in white was not afraid at all. Instead, he spoke slowly and with a smile on his face.
"I don't want to cooperate with you anymore. Also, I hope you won't come to me again in the future. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. The worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed. The reason I met you this time is to tell you these words!"
"My Lord Viscount, calm down. Don't you want to hear what great benefit it is?"
When the man in white heard the mighty man's words of fighting to the death, a hint of coldness finally rose in his pupils. However, the coldness only flashed for a moment and was immediately well concealed by the man in white.
"Put aside your sweet talk, I have said my piece, you can go now!"
The mighty man remained unmoved. The man in front of him had a kind face and the force he belonged to was even more famous. However, the mighty man now knew how dirty they were, so he hated them even more.
"What if it's about the benefits of advancing to the Golden Knight level, Lord Viscount?"
