Chapter 260 Shocking News! (Monthly Tickets for Extra Updates)
Gervis took the shy Vivian to the center of the field, not caring about the sidelong glances of the crowd. He used his mediocre dancing skills to pull Vivian and started to dance slowly to the music.
Perhaps influenced by the surrounding atmosphere, Vivian's expression gradually recovered a little, and she began to dance seriously with Gervis.
Although Vivian is only the lord's daughter, her dancing skills are far beyond the reach of a half-baked person like Gervis.
As the two people's body shapes kept changing, Gervis discovered that their dance was led by Vivian, so Gervis felt relaxed and comfortable, smelling the faint fragrance coming from Vivian's body and dancing to Vivian's steps.
…
The good times were short-lived. When the dance ended, Gervis released his arms from Vivian's slender waist, and then retreated to the sidelines with Vivian.
"Vivian, Bonita, both of you should eat something! There are a lot of delicious food at the banquet! I'm going to go outside the hall to get some fresh air first!"
Taking Vivian back to the sidelines, the young nobles had already left. Only Bonita and a few young ladies with average aristocratic looks were sitting there talking in low voices.
Gervis danced two dances in a row and was about to go outside to get some fresh air, so he told the two of them.
Although this banquet hall is spacious, it cannot accommodate so many people and it does get a bit stuffy if you stay there for a long time.
"I know! Go ahead! Humph!"
"kindness!"
Bonita and Vivian both responded to Gervis immediately. Gervis didn't know how he had upset Bonita, but he was not worried.
This little girl's temper was like a roller coaster, and Gervis was used to it, so he said nothing more, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall.
When he was about to reach the door of the hall, Gervis looked in Alice's direction, but he didn't see Alice. Gervis didn't care and walked out of the banquet door directly.
Smilingly sending away two servants who came forward to ask if they needed help, Gervis went straight to the third floor of the Rose Castle. If there was one place in the Rose Castle that was best for enjoying the breeze, it would of course be the balcony on the third floor.
It is located high up there, and not only does it offer a cool breeze on summer nights, but it also has the widest view. Standing on the balcony you can overlook the entire Winterfell.
Gervis quickly walked along the corridor to the balcony on the third floor. When passing through the corridor, he also met many male servants on duty. However, after these few days, the servants in the castle basically knew Gervis, so no one stopped Gervis.
Gervase is no longer the earl's husband who is only heard of but not known.
…
"Huh! The nobles are indeed nobles. If they stay in this place every day, even ordinary people can develop an aura that looks down on all other mountains!"
Looking at the brightly lit Winterfell, Gervase felt that the turbid air in his heart was blown away by the cool breeze.
"Now I have 10 energy points again! Do you want to try the effect of the last kiwi fruit now?"
After a while, Gervis withdrew his gaze from Winterfell at the foot of the mountain and opened his system panel.
At this moment, the energy point slot in the system panel already indicated that Gervis had 10 energy points.
In the mall on the right side of the panel, all the kiwi icons lit up, which made Gervis feel itchy and he wanted to exchange the kiwis right away.
Gervis has eaten golden kiwi, purple kiwi and green kiwi, and has basically confirmed their miraculous effects.
However, Gervis has never eaten the blue kiwi fruit. He is looking forward to learning what effects the blue kiwi fruit has. He is now eager to increase his strength.
After looking at the system panel for a long time, Gervis finally gave up the idea of exchanging the blue kiwi fruit right now. After all, there was plenty of time tonight, and it would be safer to exchange the sapphire blue kiwi fruit in his guest room then.
After closing the panel, Gervis took a deep breath and left the balcony, preparing to return to the banquet hall.
Gervis was walking down the corridor on the third floor. Just as he was about to turn the corner and go down the stairs, he suddenly heard a strange conversation.
This made Gervis pause slightly, and he stopped to listen carefully.
"Are you ready?"
"Everyone is in place! We can launch the attack as soon as the time comes!"
"Very good, then be careful and don't ruin the whole thing!"
"I understand! Don't worry!"
The sound of this conversation was very faint, probably coming from the staircase between the first and second floors.
The reason why Gervis was so concerned about this conversation that he could only vaguely hear was because the language used by both parties in the conversation was very strange.
"There are orcs in the castle?"
"That's absolutely impossible. The tone of the conversation just now clearly came from a human!"
Gervis was shocked at first. The language used by the two people who had just talked was almost the same as the language of the orcs. This made Gervis think that orcs had sneaked into the Rose Castle.
However, Gervis immediately denied his idea.
Because there are some differences between orcs' bodies and humans', the tone of orcs' speech sounds rough and hoarse, and is not as clear and soft as humans'.
But regardless of whether the people speaking were human or not, they spoke in the same language as the orcs, and judging from the content revealed in the conversation, they were obviously plotting something.
After realizing this, Gervis did not dare to delay and quickly ran downstairs from the stairs.
But when Gervis ran up the stairs to the second and first floors, he did not find anyone on the stairs.
"Why so fast?"
Gervis stood at the stairs on the first floor with a frown on his face. He had just been eavesdropping on the third floor, and when he ran down the stairs it was only three or four seconds after the two men had talked.
But when Gervis ran downstairs, he didn't see anyone except a butler standing at the corner of the corridor not far away.
The servant also saw Gervis standing at the stairs looking around and was walking towards this side.
"Lord Gervis, how can I help you?"
When the servant came closer, he obviously recognized Gervis. He quickly walked up to Gervis, bowed respectfully and asked him.
"Did you see anyone coming down the stairs just now?"
Gervis looked carefully at the servant in front of him, but did not notice anything.
After all, Gervis was not a detective. He had never even seen the two people who were talking, so he had no way of confirming their identities.
As for distinguishing it by sound, that was even more impossible. Gervis had to stop and concentrate in order to hear the content clearly, so he was completely unable to distinguish the characteristics of the sound.
"Lord Gervis, please forgive me! I didn't pay attention to the stairs just now!"
The male servant felt a little guilty. There were many people going up and down the stairs tonight, both servants and guests. Although he had been standing on duty not far away, he was not really paying attention to this side all the time.
"Well, that's none of your business! Go back!"
Gervis nodded, it seemed impossible for him to find someone.
Since I can't find the two people who were talking just now, the only thing I can do now is to go find Alice.
Regardless of what those two people were planning to do, they found Alice and told her the content of the conversation. With the Rose Knights present, Gervis felt that there should be no problems in Rose Castle.
As for the language used by the two men, Gervis was not planning to tell Alice about it for the time being.
