Chapter 221 Thoughtful
Although orcs often invade human homes in the harsh winter, they retreat on time every spring. Although the reason is unknown, at least humans live relatively peacefully.
Next, Gervis continued to flip through the pages at the back. The race at the back described the dwarves. From the description, it seemed that although the dwarves were short in stature, they were born with supernatural powers and well-developed limbs. The largest gathering place of dwarves was in the Flaming Hills, where there were low mountains stretching for thousands of miles. The dwarves dug out huge underground cities in the hills to live in. In addition to being good at fighting, the dwarves were also good at forging various weapons and equipment. They were recognized as natural craftsmen on the continent.
As for the giant dragons, the book does not describe where they gather. It only records a rumor that there is a huge island in the depths of the Violent Sea. This island is the birthplace of the giant dragons. Hundreds of giant dragons live there, but this rumor has never been confirmed.
There are indeed many records of dragon activities or nesting on the mainland. Dragons like gold coins and gems, and often appear in human villages and towns. Some dragons will plunder humans, but some dragons will not harm humans at all. Slaying and riding dragons are the most desired things for human knights.
…
When Gervis finished reading the description of the dragon, it was already dark. Gervis stretched, closed the book, and stood up from the sofa. After reading for an entire afternoon, he felt a little hungry.
After putting the books back to their original place, Gervis looked at Alice's desk. He was a little surprised that his cheap wife had not come to the study all afternoon.
When Gervis arrived at the restaurant on the first floor, the restaurant was already bustling with people. The restaurant, which was empty two days ago, was now full of people, all of whom were noble lords wearing silk clothes and badges on their chests.
These people were all guests attending Alice's birthday party, including vassals of Jones and nobles from other earls who were invited.
However, Gervis didn't know any of these nobles, so he raised his head and looked around, trying to find Pat or his cheap father.
"Grevith, here!"
Just as Gervis looked up, he heard Bonita's voice in front of his left. Gervis looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gandalf and others sitting at the long table over there eating dinner.
"Father, Uncle Nathan!"
When Gervis walked to the long table, he immediately greeted his cheap father and Nathan.
"Haha, little Gervase, you are my pride. I heard that you have a shop in Winterfell? And you made some ice cream?"
Gandalf quickly put down the barbecue in his hand, wiped his mouth and hands with a towel, then stood up and hugged Gervis with a big laugh, and patted Gervis on the back.
"Father, I guessed it by chance!"
After being hugged by his cheap father's strong back, Gervis felt like he was about to fall apart. Fortunately, he was now a titled knight, otherwise he would have broken bones. Speaking of which, the three siblings were still alive and well, and the servants in the castle had made a great contribution. Otherwise, if they had let Gandalf, such a rough man, take care of the three of them, they might have died at any time.
Although he was slandering his enemies in his heart, Gervis was still very happy. To be honest, he also enjoyed the feeling of having family.
"Master Gervis, thank you for the oysters!"
Nathan also stood up and saluted Gervis. Nathan had heard that the oyster technology was worth one gold coin, so he was very grateful to Gervis. The other thing was the Warcraft meat, but Nathan did not mention the Warcraft meat here, after all, there were too many people present.
"Uncle Nathan, you're welcome. Oysters are not worth much. From now on, my caravan will supply oysters to the lords every month, and I will continue to send them to my father and you."
"Come on, little Gervis, sit down and eat! I asked Bonita to look for you just now, but she said she couldn't find you!"
As he spoke, Gandalf pulled Gervis to his seat. Gandalf was now sitting at the head seat of the long table.
However, Gervis certainly could not take his father's seat. The long table was very spacious and there were several seats next to it. Gervis simply shook off Gandalf's hand, pushed him back to his original position, and walked towards the empty seat next to it.
It was right next to Vivian and Bonita. Before Gervis walked over, Vivian saw what Gervis was doing, and quickly stood up, pulled out the chair next to her, and waited for Gervis to sit down.
"Thank you, Vivian!"
Gervis didn't expect Vivian to be so considerate to him. He thanked Vivian when he walked to his seat.
"Um!"
Vivian didn't think much about it just now, she was just used to it, but suddenly she found that everyone present was looking at her, including her father Nathan. She immediately blushed and sat back in her seat, then responded to Gervis in an inaudible voice.
After Gervis sat down, he cut a large piece of roast meat from the plate on the long table and began to eat. While eating, he asked Gandalf: "Father, what meeting did Alice call you to attend today?"
Today, Gandalf, Pat and other vassal states were called by Alice to attend a meeting, but he did not receive any notification, which made Gervis a little curious.
"It's nothing, actually. The Earl just wants to take this opportunity to show the power of the Jones family."
"Tomorrow during the day, the Rose Knights will be reviewed at the Orc Arena, and then a few vassals will be selected to compete with vassals of other earls. So the Earl has selected a few of us today to prepare in advance."
Gandalf ate his roast meat while answering Gervais's questions.
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
Gervis was a little puzzled as to why Alice didn't let him participate. It turned out that she was looking for someone to compete with. He was now her nominal husband, so of course he couldn't participate in the competition. If he lost, it would be a huge disgrace to the Jones family.
Moreover, in their opinion, his current realm was only that of an entry-level bronze knight. It was estimated that other earls could not choose a vassal who was equal to him as an opponent, so the vassal could only choose veteran silver knights like Gandalf for the duel.
"Well, I will also participate in the competition tomorrow. I will beat them hard and make them know that we, Jones County, are not so easy to bully!"
Gandalf took a big bite of the roast meat and said with a glare.
"Haha, then father has to hit me harder!"
Looking at Gandalf's fist as big as a casserole, Gerves was not worried about Gandalf's safety. This was just a duel and his life should not be in danger. Besides, if it was really necessary tomorrow, he would give him the mithril equipment forged for Gandalf, which would definitely ensure that Gandalf would win.
