Chapter 255 Ice Crystal Silver Fox
As for whether Kevin really likes Alice so much, Kevin has thought it through clearly. There is no man in the world who would not be moved by such a beautiful woman.
And most importantly, even if the Jones family really fell into decline in the end, no one in the principality would dare to touch Alice and Winterfell.
The most they did was to dismember and erode the Jones family's wealth, such as taking away the Jones family's rose powder and some fertile land, and then demand money from the Jones family, who were unable to fight back, under various names, slowly draining the Jones family's previously accumulated wealth.
As for Alice's earldom and most of the territories, there will be no impact because the king does not want to stir up civil strife. The Jones family has many vassals. If the Jones family is forced into a desperate situation, the Principality of Jean may be in turmoil. With powerful enemies outside, the king will never allow such a thing to happen.
All of the above information was mentioned by Kevin's father before he set off, so Kevin did not question the accuracy of the information at all.
Therefore, for Kevin, everything he does now is an investment. As long as the Jones family falls into poverty, he will care for Alice in the name of love and use some of his family's power to help the Jones family.
At that time, not only can he capture Alice, but he can also slowly control Jones County. Maybe one day, he can become a real earl!
As for Gervis, once the Jones family falls into ruin, there will be no chance for this clown to survive.
…
After speaking to Alice, Kevin slowly pulled down the black cloth on the iron cage in his hand.
When the black cloth fell, the scene inside the iron cage was finally visible to everyone. Inside the cage was a little fox with snow-white fur. At this moment, the little fox was obviously frightened by the attention of everyone and immediately curled up into a ball.
"Wow! So cute!"
The moment the little fox appeared, it caused exclamations from most of the noble ladies and young ladies, because this small little fox was so cute, with its shiny snow-white fur and timid and frightened eyes, which immediately aroused their desire to protect it.
Even Alice, who had always been calm and composed, took a few extra glances at the little creature in the cage, and was obviously attracted by the snow-white little fox.
In addition to the noble ladies, most of the male guests paid attention to another point. Although the little fox was frightened by everyone, when it screamed, a trace of magical power would naturally condense from its mouth, which showed that the little fox in the iron cage was not simple.
"Could this be a monster cub? An ice crystal silver fox?"
The little guy in front of you is all white, but there is a tuft of brown-red hair on his forehead, which grows like a red dot on his forehead. This is the most obvious sign of the Ice Crystal Silver Fox.
Because the IQ of magical foxes is generally very high, adult ice crystal silver foxes can basically advance to become mid-level magical beasts. If the little fox in the cage in front of you is really an ice crystal silver fox, then it would be an incredible gift, much more valuable than the night spirit flower.
After all, the Night Spirit Flower only has one auxiliary function. Although it has many benefits for the Title Knight, its function overlaps with the Elf Bug, which reduces its value.
But the cub of the Ice Crystal Silver Fox is different. As long as it is carefully raised, it is very likely that a mid-level magical beast will be obtained as a pet in a dozen years. The combat power of a mid-level magical beast can be comparable to that of four or five initial-level silver knights. This is a truly precious gift.
"Alice, I got this monster cub by chance. He's so young and cute, so I brought him here specially for you. I hope you like him!"
Kevin looked at Alice with infatuation in his eyes and his words were sincere.
However, there is actually another factor that led Kevin to give out this frost silver fox cub as a gift. That is, there is a 50% chance that the frost silver fox will run away when it grows up.
Magical beasts are intelligent, so not all of them like to stay around humans and listen to their orders. If this crystal silver fox is raised and if it is unwilling to be a magical pet, then all the investment of more than ten years of careful care may be wasted. This kind of thing has happened several times in the principality.
Of course, there are also examples in the Principality of magical pets growing up to become powerful fighters for their masters, so whether one can finally tame a magical beast and make it a magical pet depends on one's luck.
Faced with a 50% chance and more than ten years of careful care, Kevin was not interested, so he gave the ice crystal silver fox cub to Alice, hoping to get a chance to have sex with her tonight.
…
Alice didn't expect that the gifts given by Kevin and others today were more precious than each other. Alice knew very well what they were thinking, so she was prepared to continue to refuse Kevin's gifts.
But this time, before Alice could speak, Gervis came over first.
"Thank you, Viscount Kevin. I'll accept your gift on behalf of Alice. Thank you very much for your kindness to my wife!"
Frost Silver Fox!
This creature can grow into a mid-level magical beast!
The Frost Silver Fox will also be able to possess three spells when it grows up, and will not be weaker than the Frost White Tiger that happened this morning. If Gervis does not accept such a gift, he feels that he would be letting down the kindness of Boss Rongguang.
After all, even if Alice doesn't accept the gift, it doesn't mean that Kevin and others will stop pestering Alice. Gervis has thought this through clearly.
"Thanks for the gift, Kevin!"
Alice didn't expect that Gervis would take the initiative to come forward and accept Kevin's gift. But at the moment, they were on the high platform, and Alice couldn't ask Gervis if he knew what he was doing. She could only reluctantly thank Kevin in a gentle tone, and then watched Gervis take the iron cage from Kevin's hand and place it behind the platform.
Kevin was a little annoyed when he saw Gervis took his gift. However, there was nothing wrong with Gervis accepting the gift for Alice, so he could only let go of the iron cage in his hand. Alice did not express any objection, but thanked him instead, which meant that she approved of Gervis's action.
"Alice, you're welcome. It's my dream to give you the best gift!"
Kevin was angry in his heart, but he still put on a smile and responded to Alice politely.
After a pause, Kevin set his sights on Gervis and continued to speak to Alice: "Alice, I'm very curious. I wonder what birthday gift Baron Gervis, your husband, gave you today? Can you show it to everyone?"
"I think that to have a beautiful wife like you, any qualified husband must give the most precious thing as a birthday gift!"
As soon as Kevin finished speaking, the field suddenly became quiet.
All the guests present immediately stretched their necks to look at Alice, waiting for her answer.
Indeed, everyone was curious about what gift Gervis would give to Alice. After all, everyone knew Gervis's conditions. He was the second son of a minor noble family and had no family background at all.
If the gift Gervis gave today was of decent value, then that would be fine. But if Gervis was stingy and gave something worthless today, then Gervis would be famous in the Principality in the future.
Looking at the expectant expressions of the guests, Alice's disgust for Kevin was simply beyond words. However, Kevin had already asked the question, and it was of course impossible not to answer it at this moment.
So Alice began to think quickly in her mind, preparing to lie for Gervis so that Gervis would not really become the laughing stock of the whole audience.
After all, when Gervis delivered the wine to the study a few days ago, he had said that he didn't have much money, and the gift he would give might not be very valuable. Alice remembered this very clearly, and of course she had expected it, because Gervis really didn't have much money at that time.
Although a barrel of wine is worth 25 gold coins, compared to most of the guests tonight, the gift of 25 gold coins is still a bit shabby, especially since Gervis is Alice's husband.
