Chapter 279 Spiritual Liquid
When everyone walked out of the side hall, the room suddenly became quiet. Gervis and Alice both fell silent. After waiting for a moment, Gervis finally spoke first.
"Ahem! Ahem! Alice, what do you want?"
"This cheap wife has sent everyone away. She won't have any improper thoughts about me, right? Or maybe she wants to marry me because I saved her life today?"
Although he was asking something, Gervis kept glancing at Alice, looking her up and down and swallowing several times, as if he was expecting something.
"Should I just half-ass it later?"
To be honest, Gervis had coveted the Earl, who was such a stunning beauty. However, Gervis was not as strong or powerful as the Earl, so he never considered it.
Now that he had this opportunity to save his life, Gervis felt that he...should...probably...not mind...After all, he already knew the ins and outs of Alice's rumored boyfriend, so the colorful hats should not fly around.
Just as Gervis was thinking excitedly in his mind, Alice turned her head to look at Gervis, and immediately found that Gervis' eyes were wandering around and his gaze was a little strange. It was obvious from the look that he was thinking about something impure. Alice's face immediately turned dark and she spoke unhappily.
"I just want to ask you, where did your unicorn come from?"
Alice did want to thank Gervis in private, but when she saw Gervis's strange expression, she immediately gave up the idea.
In fact, it was not just Alice who felt sorry for the unicorn. Most people did not take Gervase's unicorn seriously in the past few days. If the unicorn had not detoxified Gandalf and others in public in the banquet hall tonight, Gervase's magical pet would probably have been regarded as a "good-for-nothing" for many years.
"Fairy tales are all lies!"
Gervis was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect Alice to just ask about the unicorn, which made Gervis's expectations come to nothing.
"I met the unicorn when I was wandering around the edge of the Dark Forest. It came to me on its own initiative. I thought it looked good, so I fed it some food, and it was willing to become my magical pet."
Gervis told the truth, but made some minor embellishments. For example, he said that he was robbed by the monster but was fed actively, and he also blurred out the kiwi fruit that was fed.
Alice's face turned even darker, and she obviously felt that Gervis was fooling her.
If capturing a unicorn is as easy as Gervis said, can it become the king's mount?
Becoming the principality’s unique unicorn in a few decades?
"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. Why do you have to treat me like this?"
Alice said unhappily.
Since Gervis didn't want to say it, Alice didn't intend to explore it. She felt that Gervis had a lot of secrets, but it didn't matter as long as Gervis didn't harm the Jones family.
After saying that, without waiting for Gervis to open his mouth to argue, Alice took out an exquisite little wooden box from the square table beside her, and then pushed the little wooden box in front of Gervis.
“This is for you!”
"What is this?"
Gervis was a little confused. Didn't he just get a generous reward? Why did he get another box now?
But since it was a gift from Alice, Gervis was also very curious about what was inside that made Alice so serious.
So Gervis took the wooden box, placed it in front of himself and opened it.
When the wooden box was opened, what came into view was a light green glass potion emitting a soft glow. The amount of this glass potion was very small, but Gervis did not dare to underestimate it, because in this world, things that can glow on their own are basically of relatively high value.
So Gervis looked up at Alice, seeking an answer.
"This is the spiritual essence. As long as you have it, the Silver Knight can become a Gold Knight!"
Alice knew what Gervis meant, so she said it lightly without Gervis asking.
"This... the potion for advancing to the Golden Knight level? Isn't this too expensive?"
Hearing the explanation, Gervis' eyes almost bulged out. He had heard about some requirements for becoming a Golden Knight, but he didn't expect it to be this thing in front of him, and Alice was willing to give it to him.
Of course, if Gervis knew that the main reason for Rawl's rebellion was this small tube of spiritual essence, he would probably be so moved that he would cry.
"It's really valuable, but if you don't want it, you can give it back to me!"
Alice replied calmly.
"Yes! Of course I want it, but do you still have it?"
Gervis immediately closed the box and quickly put the wooden box into his arms. Are you kidding? If you don’t want the treasure you have, you are a fool.
This is a must-have item to become a Golden Knight. Just thinking about it, Gervis knows how precious and rare it is. He probably can't buy it even if he has money.
Alice was amused and angry when she saw Gervis's actions, but when she heard that Gervis actually asked her if she had any, Alice's tone became a little more relaxed.
"My father left me a bottle, but this spiritual essence is very precious. There is only one bottle in the entire Rose Castle. It is no longer available in Eurasia. You must keep it well!"
"I understand. Thank you Alice. But why is this spiritual essence no longer available?"
Gervis's thanks came from the bottom of his heart. No matter if he could use it in the end or not, a bottle of spiritual essence represented an opportunity to become a golden knight. As long as he could practice to the peak silver knight, with this thing, he would be 100% sure to become one of the strongest people on the continent.
Alice heard Gervis' thanks and questions, nodded, and began to tell Gervis about the spiritual energy liquid.
"A long time ago, it was extremely difficult for a Silver Knight to be promoted to a Gold Knight."
"At that time, all the golden knights in Eurasia totaled less than twenty people, but one day, the church was born!"
"No one knows when the church was founded. However, ever since the church appeared on the continent, they have been spreading the faith among the common people and serfs. This has been met with hostility from all the nobles. However, when the church was born, they also brought the Holy Knights, which made the nobles extremely wary."
"But despite their fear, the nobles were worried that the church's missionary work would affect their rule, so they reported the matter to their respective kings. The kingdoms of all sizes on the continent knew the seriousness of the matter, so they prepared to unite and declare war on the church, preparing to wipe it out."
"But just when the war was about to break out, the church sent messengers to every kingdom, big and small, and offered something!"
"Is this the spiritual essence?"
Gervis was a little surprised. So this was the history of the church. If Alice hadn't told him, Gervis would have had no way of getting this secret from anywhere else.
"Yes, it is this spiritual essence."
Alice nodded, and then continued: "I learned all these things from my father!"
"After the kingdoms of all sizes learned about the spiritual essence, they all wanted to obtain this treasure!"
“It was from that time that the church truly gained a foothold and grew stronger in Eurasia. The church’s ability to collect taxes from every kingdom was also the result of negotiations at that time.”
"Originally, the church would provide one or two bottles of spiritual energy liquid every year, but decades ago, the church stopped providing spiritual energy liquid to the principality on the pretext that it had run out."
"So now, apart from a very small number of great nobles who still have spiritual energy liquid in their collections, it is estimated that there is no more spiritual energy liquid in the entire continent."
Alice finished talking about the church and the spiritual essence at once, then she raised a cup of tea, took a sip and looked at Gervis.
"And what was the reaction of the king and the nobles?"
Gervis rolled his eyes. His cheap wife was still keeping him in suspense. She drank her tea and looked at him silently, obviously waiting for him to ask questions.
"At that time, the church was already many times stronger than when it was born, and most civilians and serfs believed in the church!"
"Besides, the former kingdom had just unified the entire continent at that time. After years of war, the nobles were no longer able to compete with the church."
