Chapter 232: Royal Blue Elf (Part 1)
When Gervis and Alice returned to the central stand, all the earl representatives were still silent. Occasionally, two familiar people talked in a low voice for a while and then shook their heads with a bitter smile. Obviously, no one was ready to send anyone up to increase the prestige of the Jones family.
"I wonder if the representatives have decided on the candidates for the third competition. If not, I won't force you. Today is just to celebrate my birthday, so don't mind."
Alice asked the people present as she sat in her plush chair.
At this moment, Kevin winked at the young man beside him. The young man understood and immediately looked at Alice. Then he said, "Count Alice, it seems that no one is willing to send anyone to participate in the title knight competition. However, I have a request. I wonder if Count Alice can allow it."
The young man's name was Boris Elvo, and he was a descendant of the Elvo family. However, the Elvo family's territory did not border the Jones territory, so the conflict between them and the Jones family was not as deep as that between them and the Charles family. Alice was still a little surprised that he stood up and spoke at this moment.
"Viscount Boris, you can first tell me your request. If possible, I will try my best to meet it."
Alice nodded and let Boris make his request first.
"I heard that your husband, Earl Alice, is an excellent baron, which is why he was chosen by you as your husband!"
There was no sign on Boris's face whether he meant what he said or not. If Alice had not chosen her vassal to be her husband, the news would have spread throughout the principality and become a laughing stock.
Gervis probably really believed that Boris was unaware of the situation and therefore misunderstood the rumors.
However, as the son of an earl and an acquaintance of Kevin, it is impossible for Boris not to know about it. So there is only one possibility for Boris's praise, and that is flattery.
Sure enough, when Gervis had this idea, Boris continued, "I really can't imagine how outstanding Baron Gervis must be to be worthy of Earl Alice. I wonder if Earl Alice can take advantage of today to let Baron Gervis show his excellence?"
After Boris finished speaking, Alice did not respond directly, but frowned.
Alice looked at Gervis, as if asking him whether he knew or had offended this Boris.
Of course, Gervis didn't know Boris, but Gervis had seen him sitting together and whispering with Kevin before, so Gervis guessed that it must be Kevin's doing.
In order to prevent Alice from being embarrassed later, Gervis directly said to Boris: "I am really ashamed. I didn't expect that my excellence has been known throughout the principality. Viscount Boris, how do you want me to show you my excellence? And why should I show you my excellence?"
What Gervis actually wanted to say was, if you were a beauty it would be fine, maybe I would show you my skills if I was in a good mood, but you are a show-off young man, I don’t have that hobby.
However, after looking at Alice beside him, Gervis clearly did not say it out loud.
When Gervis' words came out of his mouth, several earl representatives present looked at Gervis with strange eyes. Today they truly saw what it meant to be thick-skinned.
Boris felt his breath was choked and he almost coughed. His words were just a prelude. He didn't expect Gervis to accept them so generously without blushing or beating his heart.
After a pause, Boris replied to Gervis: "Baron Gervis, as a lord and a knight, only fighting can show your bravery, so I have a suggestion, that is, Baron Gervis can fight with the orcs."
Boris finished speaking, but found that Gervis was looking at him as if he were a fool, so he continued: "Of course, as Baron Gervis said, why should we show it to us? Baron Gervis, why don't we do this? I heard that Baron Gervis likes to make bets, why don't we make a bet!"
Originally, Gervis thought that Boris had some mental problems as he wanted to make him fight for no reason.
However, after hearing the latter part, Gervis fell into deep thought. As he expected, Kevin should be the one who controlled all this. There should be few people who know that he had made a bet with Kevin. Kevin would not announce it everywhere for the sake of his own face. So now Boris must have been instructed by Kevin to trick him.
"How do you want to bet?"
Even though it was a trap, Gervis still wanted to listen to it. Since Boris was so sure that he would fall into the trap, the stakes they put forward must be something exciting, just like when he tricked Kevin. He knew that there must be a conspiracy in the bet he proposed, but Kevin was still tricked by him because of the temptation of the Warcraft crystal.
After Gervis asked this question, he suddenly felt a stinging pain on his back as if he was bitten by a mosquito. Gervis quickly turned around and looked behind him, only to see Alice frowning and shaking her head slightly at Gervis.
It turned out that the stinging pain just now was not caused by a mosquito bite, but by Alice stabbing him with a fork from the fruit bowl.
Of course, Gervis couldn't be angry about Alice's behavior. Alice probably saw Boris's ill intentions and was reminding herself of this at this moment.
Gervis blinked at Alice, gave her a reassuring look, then turned around and continued to look at Boris.
Just then I heard Boris talking about the method of gambling.
"Baron Gervis, I will open two orc spaces. As long as you can kill all the orcs in the orc space, you will win. Otherwise, you lose! Of course, the number of people participating in the battle cannot exceed 15, including you, and all of them must be your subordinates! Baron Gervis, what do you think?"
"What about the bet?"
The gambling method Boris proposed was quite standard. There were also 15 people fighting in the arena, but he was a titled knight, so it was reasonable for him to use two orc spaces. As long as his luck was not too bad and it was not the first time he encountered so many orcs, he should win.
Gervase guessed that Kevin and the others must have known his background, otherwise they emphasized that only his own subordinates could be used, which showed that they knew that the men they brought to Winterfell did not have titled knights.
Of course, Gervis didn't think that the other party would really use two orc spaces to trap him so easily. There must be something fishy about this, but Gervis was not sure where the mine was buried waiting for him to step on.
"Don't worry, Baron Gervis, the bet will never let you down!"
Boris smiled as he took a jade box from the servant behind him, then slowly opened the box to Gervis!
"Ah! So beautiful!"
"This... is actually an elf?"
"It really is an elf, so cute! I wish I had one too!"
When Boris opened the jade box, there were exclamations and discussions in the central stands, and everyone, including Gervis, was stunned.
"Smurf?"
Gervis asked Boris subconsciously.
