Chapter 356 Basic Magic Skills
Four servants walked carefully into Gervis' tent and placed all the fragrant, steaming food on a simple wooden table.
Suddenly, the wooden table, which was less than two meters long, was filled with delicious food.
"Lina! Did Alice say anything when she brought these foods over?"
Gervis looked a little suspicious. He couldn't believe that Alice, who was usually so cold, could suddenly become so enthusiastic.
"Uh... I'm not a bottom, nor am I a bitch, it's just that the turn was too fast and I couldn't react in time!"
Gervis muttered to himself.
Alice's temper changes so quickly. There are delicious fish and meat on the long table, even a pound of Shadow Cheetah meat, and all of them are carefully cooked by the chef of Rose Castle.
"Lord Gervis, how do you know what the Lord said?"
Lina smiled slightly, then dismissed the four servants. After the servants walked out of the tent, Lina put her hand on her chest.
"Gudong!"
Gervis' eyes widened as he saw that Lina had actually unbuttoned a button under that particularly prominent area.
"This... I am a gentleman... Take it off... No... Stop it now!"
"Alice, what do you want to do? Do you want Lina to take over your duties?"
Of course, the next moment Gervis knew that he was overthinking. Lina just unbuttoned a button and took out a booklet from her clothes.
"Lord Gervis, he also told me to give you this book, saying it's for you! If there is any news about the old Earl in it, please be sure to tell Lady Alice!"
Gervis reluctantly moved his eyes away from Lina's beautiful figure, feeling a little disappointed. He really was overthinking it. He was originally prepared to accept the ravages of reality.
The next moment, Gervis curiously took the book handed to him by Lina.
However, when he saw the words on the book, his whole body was shocked. The cover of the book was a little worn, but the words on it were exactly the same as those in the notebook on the island, which means that it was not the common language of this continent.
"Basic magic skills!"
Gervis was extremely surprised. Although he had studied illusion, he was not sure whether there were magicians in this world. After all, in the original owner's memory, this world had always been the world of knights, and there was only fighting spirit.
Now the book sent by Alice seemed to have reopened a door for Gervis, revealing that the world was not as simple as it seemed now.
"Did Alice say what book this was?"
With his mind racing, Gervis took advantage of the slightly dim night and pretended to be calm as he asked Lina.
After all, the characters on it are not the common characters of this continent. If it weren’t for the kiwi fruit, I would not be able to recognize it.
Now Alice asked Lina to bring it to him, and said that if she could find any clues about the old count, she would tell her. What does this mean? Did Alice know that he could recognize these books?
"Lord Gervis, Lady Alice never told me what this book is! The Earl just said he would bring you dinner while we were having dinner, and then he gave me this book and asked me to pass it on to you!"
Although Lina didn't recognize the words in the book, it didn't seem strange. The world was so big and there were many things she didn't recognize. Maybe these words were from other principalities.
"Oh, then thank Alice for me!"
Gervis responded. He didn't see any different expression on Lina's face, which meant that Lina really didn't know the meaning of the book.
…
"There are so many books in my father's study, but I have never seen any records about wine, telescopes, etc.! So the only possibility is that Gervis learned it from those special books!"
After dinner, Alice held the exquisite telescope in her hand and kept thinking. The special books she was thinking about were those written in characters she did not recognize.
She originally didn't plan to send dinner to Gervis, after all, it was Gervis who had flirted with her.
But the potion wine that Gervis gave him had just been brewed today. Alice tasted it and was instantly conquered by the potion wine. Her mind unconsciously thought of that annoying Gervis.
Alice was really curious about why Gervis had so much strange knowledge and could invent so many amazing things.
As Alice was thinking about it, she thought of the books her father had collected. She didn't recognize the words on many of the books. Alice guessed that Gervis must have known those words, so he learned different knowledge from these books.
After all, Gervis had been reading in her study all day after coming to Rose Castle. The more Alice thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was correct.
So she took out a book from the secret room in her father's study. Since these books were placed in the dark room, it meant that her father must attach great importance to them. Alice directly picked out a worn-out one and asked Lina to give it to Gervis.
One was to test whether Gervis could recognize the words in the book.
Although Alice didn't know what was in the book, she could tell from Gervis's reaction in the next few days.
The second is that no matter how hard Alice tried in the past few months, she did not receive any news about the old earl. It seemed that the old earl really disappeared from this world, so Alice wondered if it was possible to find some clues from the books collected by the old earl.
…
After Gervis accepted the books, Lina bowed to him and then left the residence with several servants.
"Did my cheap wife notice something?"
Looking at the sumptuous dinner in front of him, Gervis was thinking in his mind. He felt that he had been too outstanding during this period of time. People who knew about it would probably find it incredible.
"Well, I have to keep a low profile! Keep a low profile! It's okay now that she's my cheap wife, but it would be bad if I attracted other people's attention! Especially big forces like the king and the church!"
Gervis secretly reminded himself that since Alice came to Storm Territory in person to rescue him, Gervis could see that Alice was extremely good to him.
If someone else discovered the abnormality in him, that would not be certain.
Gervis put down the book in his hand and began to eat the delicacies on the wooden table. As for the basic magic skills, he would study them slowly after finishing his meal. The food would lose its flavor if it got cold.
As for Alice's hope of getting clues about the old earl's disappearance from the book, Gervis felt that it was impossible.
However, Gervis was also considering whether he should tell Alice the news about another continent. After all, Gervis guessed that the old earl had most likely gone to that place, although Gervis didn't know how the old earl got there.
