Chapter 247: The Treasure That Makes a Golden Knight
In the east district of Winterfell, still at the back door of the luxurious mansion from last time, the mighty man came to the door again and welcomed the man in white linen robe from the carriage.
However, this time the mighty man's attitude was much different from last time. Not only did he come to the door to greet them, but his eyes were flashing with anticipation.
"Did you bring the stuff?"
As soon as the man in the linen robe got off the carriage, the mighty man couldn't wait to ask in a low voice.
"Haha, don't worry. We always keep our word. This isn't the first time you've done business with us, so you should know this very well!"
Seeing how anxious the mighty man was today, the man in white robe smiled on his kind face and slowly replied to the mighty man.
"Okay, then go to the study and we'll talk there!"
The mighty man knew that he was a little impatient and had lost his composure, so he immediately stepped aside and led the man in the linen robe into the mansion.
After arriving at the study and dismissing all the servants, the mighty man closed the door tightly, then sat opposite the man in white robe and said, "Did you bring the things? I have arranged the operation tonight, and I hope you will keep your word!"
"Don't worry, we are of course trustworthy. Although this thing is precious, we still have a lot of it! You are definitely lucky to be able to cooperate with us."
The man in white robe chuckled, then slowly took out a small wooden box from inside his white robe, placed the box on the small table in front of him, and slowly opened the box.
After opening the small wooden box, I saw a small bottle made of crystal lying quietly inside the wooden box. The bottle was not big, about the thickness of an adult's finger, and the most eye-catching thing was the liquid in the crystal bottle. The liquid was emerald green in color, but not viscous. Instead, it was clear and transparent. What was even more strange was that this emerald green transparent liquid also emitted a faint light, which was very soft, just like moonlight in the dark night.
When the mighty man saw the items in the wooden box, his whole body shook, his eyes sparkled, and his arms trembled slightly with excitement.
Snap!
Just as the mighty man was about to raise his hand to touch the crystal bottle in the wooden box, the wooden box was quickly closed by the smiling man in white robe.
"How about it? Are you satisfied with this reward? As long as you have this thing, you will become a golden knight in half a month or a year. By then, you and your descendants will also become superior people!"
There are only dozens of Golden Knights on this continent. If one can really become a Golden Knight, then one will become a superior person just as the man in white robe said.
"Since I promised to do something, I will definitely do it. I have already arranged it, but I want to follow the conditions we agreed on before. You need to hand this thing over to me first, otherwise I can't trust you!"
After the wooden box was closed, the mighty man reluctantly turned his eyes away from the wooden box. After a while, his expression finally returned to normal. The reason why he lost his composure today was because the things brought by the white-robed man were too precious. Nowadays on this continent, even the nobles may not have them.
"Of course, I brought this thing here to give it to you. Our reputation is not as bad as you think!"
After getting a satisfactory answer, the man in white robe simply pushed the wooden box that was pressed by his palm in front of the mighty man.
…
An hour and a half later (would it be inappropriate to change it?), GervisGervis looked at the three-layer cake in front of him with satisfaction, feeling a sense of accomplishment. Today, he had unlocked new food in this world.
The kitchen helpers beside Gervis were also stunned. They had seen those chefs make cakes that were small and exquisite, in small pieces, and the largest one was only the size of a fist.
But today, the cakes made by Lord Gervis were bigger than each other. The largest one was as big as a wooden basin for washing vegetables, and the outside of the cake was covered with a thick layer of something called cream.
Although they didn't know what cream was, the kitchen helpers couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they smelled the strong milky aroma.
"Very good! You guys should store this cake carefully, as it will be used at the banquet tonight!"
After placing the last piece of fruit on the cake, Gervis clapped his hands and then gave instructions to several kitchen helpers he had called to cut the fruit.
"Yes! Sir!"
Several kitchen helpers nodded hurriedly. The man in front of them was the Earl's husband and half-owner of Rose Castle. No one dared to be disrespectful.
After giving the instructions, Gervis washed his hands and walked out of the kitchen. It was still early outside and the sun was still hanging in the sky. It was the perfect time to make the cake. It would not become hard at night and the taste would be perfect!
"Eh, getting hard?"
Suddenly, Gervis slapped his head and thought of something from the hardening of the white cream. This thing might be able to restore the broken arms of his two guards.
In fact, the fracture is not that serious. As long as it is not a comminuted fracture, as long as the bone is refixed, it will grow and heal naturally. The human body is so magical. Of course, since the pastor said that you can't do heavy work after recovery, there is a reason for that.
Bones can indeed heal themselves, but in this backward era with a medieval background, medical technology was lacking and people could not guarantee that the bones would be able to completely recover after they healed. The reason is that people could not guarantee that the broken bones would always be in the correct position. Humans are animals, not stone. They need to eat and turn over.
Even the slightest movement could cause the bone to shift again. Although the priest had already fixed it with wooden strips and cloth straps for the two guards, that crude fixation was more of a psychological comfort than a fixation of the bones. Even the slightest movement during sleep could cause the bone to loosen.
But just now, Gervis thought of plaster.
In previous lives, didn’t people use plaster to fix broken arms, legs or feet?
There is also plaster in this world, and sometimes doctors use it to make medicine to treat people. Gervis thought that he should try to put plaster on the two guards. Anyway, things will not get worse, so he might as well give it a try. Maybe the two guards of his could still be saved. After all, after such a fierce battle, as long as they are still alive, they will be veterans who have seen blood!
Thinking of this, Gervis went straight to the vestibule and found Ike, and told him to go to the pharmacy in the city to buy some plaster.
After Ik left, Gervis returned to the inner castle and went to the third floor to read for a while.
Arriving at the study on the third floor, Gervis knocked on the door as usual. Alice was actually in the study, which surprised Gervis.
Today is Alice's birthday, but I didn't expect that this woman didn't go out to dress up, but stayed in the study. Gervis thought that Alice should be a model of a strong woman in this world.
When Gervis walked into the study, Alice was still sitting at the desk as usual, but today Alice was not dealing with government affairs. Instead, she was reading a book with relish.
"Reading a book?"
After looking at Alice's fair and pretty face for a few seconds, Gervis began to ask.
"kindness!"
When Alice heard that it was Gervis, she also raised her head and looked at Gervis.
"Grevith, have you offended anyone recently?"
Gandalf doted on his son and didn't want Gervais to worry too much, so he hadn't told Gervais about the arena yet.
But Alice is different. She knows that her nominal husband is not as simple as he seems, and there is no clue about the matter of the Colosseum. So Alice wants to ask Gervis to see if she can get any clues from him.
"Offended someone? No? I have never come into contact with other nobles in Winterfell except Kevin! What's wrong?"
Gervis didn't know that the door to the underground passage had been destroyed, so he was puzzled by Alice's question. Alice also knew about his relationship with Kevin, so if it was about Kevin, Alice wouldn't have to ask him at all.
