Chapter 587 Unexpected News (Monthly Ticket Plus)
It took more than ten minutes for Gervis, Lach and others to arrive at the campus where the magician was.
"Harry, you will be blessed when you come here! See, many of the students studying magic are pretty girls!"
"It's not like us, the titled knights, wanting to meet a beautiful woman is like looking for a wild monster in the city, it's impossible."
As soon as we arrived at the magician's campus, we saw significantly more girls walking on the street.
And Lach's eyes began to dart around, revealing his dandy nature. He looked at Lach and spoke to Gervis with envy.
"Haha, Master Lachi, why didn't you choose to learn magic?"
It's obvious that a playboy like Laci didn't come to the academy to become a great knight, and he's not an heir either, so learning magic should be the first choice for a playboy like him.
After all, training to become a title knight is hard and tiring, fighting is close combat, and it doesn’t look as noble as a magician.
"Hey, I wanted to learn magic at first, but unfortunately when I was practicing meditation, I found that I had no affinity for magic of any attribute. I couldn't even become an apprentice magician, so in the end I could only practice fighting spirit!"
Lachi's face was filled with pain, and it was obvious that he couldn't get over this matter.
“…”
In this regard, Gervis could only give Laci a look of pity, and feel fortunate for the female students of the Magician Academy.
"We're here! Harry, wait here for a moment, I'll go knock on the door!"
Soon, Gervis and Lach stopped in front of a beautiful single-family building.
This single-family building has only two floors, and there are lawns and flower beds in front and behind the building. Gervis guessed that this might be the single-family building that Laci mentioned.
Not to mention that living in a villa like this while going to school is something that not everyone can afford.
Boom boom boom!
Lucky walked to the door and knocked very gently a few times.
"Who is it?"
A clear and pleasant voice was immediately heard from inside, and Gervis heard it was the beautiful rich girl Adela.
"Adela, it's me and Harry. We just arrived and wanted to invite you to have lunch with us!"
Lucky didn't dare to just give his own name. He was very worried that Adela would reject him. Adela had rejected many people in the past.
Snap!
Soon the door of the small building was opened. Adela came out, and Zenia was beside her.
"Zenia, you're here too, so I don't have to call you later!"
Laci quickly added to Zenia, worried that Adela would still refuse.
"Larch, Harry! Want to have lunch? Then wait a moment!"
But what reassured Laci was that Adela didn't seem to be going to refuse this time.
After letting the two wait at the door for a while, Adela and Zenia walked out of the building.
"Let's go! Let's go have lunch. By the way, what do you want to eat?"
Adela was wearing a light blue dress today with a long ribbon tied around her waist, which perfectly accentuated her slender figure.
Coupled with that beautiful face, she is definitely a beautiful sight.
"Adela, I'm afraid there won't be a seat available later, so I've asked my subordinates to reserve one. It's in the Leng Feicui Manor!"
As soon as Lucky heard what Adela said, he knew that Adela was going to fulfill her previous promise and treat him and Harry to dinner.
However, this dandy young master Laci also had a lot of ulterior motives. He had already arranged for someone to reserve a seat so that Adela would not have to pay for the dinner.
This way they would have the hope of dining with Adela again in the future.
"OK!"
Adela didn't say much.
After they arrived at the gate of the academy on foot, Adela and Zenia got into the carriage that Laci had prepared long ago, while Gervis and Laci rode their war horses directly.
Soon, the group arrived at the Leng Jade Manor located in the inner city of the City of Hope.
This manor covers a very large area. How large is it? When Gervis and others arrived at the gate of the manor and dismounted, Gervis thought that he could reach the building of the manor in a few steps, but he found that there was a carriage waiting for everyone after entering the gate.
Greeted by the servants, Gervis and his companions got on the carriage again.
The carriage in the manor was an open carriage without a roof, and Gervis and the other three sat facing each other.
It was not known whether intentionally or unintentionally, but Adela chose to sit opposite Gervis, while Laci sat opposite Zenia.
Lucky and Adela had obviously been to the Cold Emerald Manor for meals before, and there was nothing strange about them.
Zenia, on the other hand, was quite curious and looked around.
After about three minutes of moving forward at a constant speed and passing through a series of beautiful gardens, a beautiful and gorgeous building appeared in front of Gervis and his companions.
In front of the building is a large square paved with stone slabs.
This place is just like the five-star hotels in the previous life, with fountains or other landscapes outside the main entrance.
This place is even more luxurious and exquisite, with not only numerous sculptures and flower gardens, but also dozens of neatly dressed male and female attendants waiting.
"Good afternoon, distinguished young masters and young ladies. Welcome to Leng Feicui Manor!"
When the carriage stopped, the servants came up quickly to open the door and welcome everyone to get off. They also brought basins, towels and other things for everyone to wipe their hands.
Laci and Adela behaved very naturally in such a scene, but Zenia felt a little uneasy.
During this time, Adela also looked at Gervis and was surprised to find that Gervis was also accepting it calmly and did not feel any discomfort at all.
Adela had no idea that Gervis was a lord after all, and he enjoyed such enjoyment every day, so naturally he would not be as uncomfortable as Zenia.
Just like that, several people, led by the servants, walked into this luxurious building. At this time, there were many young men and women in gorgeous clothes in the building. It was obvious that the business of Leng Feicui Manor was not bad.
After Lachi gave his name, everyone was quickly taken to the reserved restaurant.
"Laqi, this manor is so luxurious, having lunch here must be expensive. I didn't know there is such a luxurious manor in the City of Hope!"
Although Zenia was a wealthy family compared to the common people, it seemed a bit shabby compared to big families like Adela's. After sitting down, she immediately asked Laci curiously.
Hearing Zenia's question, Laci first looked at Adela. He was worried that his answer might make Adela feel that he was showing off, but when he saw Adela pursed her lips and smiled softly, he felt relieved and spoke.
"This Cold Emerald Manor is one of the most luxurious manors in the City of Hope, and it is owned by our academy! Every time you come here, your consumption must not be less than 100 gold coins. Otherwise, even if you only order one dish, you still have to pay the 100 gold coins, which will be used directly as the cost of the meal!"
"Ah! So expensive!"
Zenia exclaimed softly, it was obvious that poverty limited his imagination.
Of course, Gervis was also stunned.
"This is too damn extravagant. A meal costs one hundred gold coins, and from what Laqi said, this is the minimum cost!"
Gervis thought it was a big deal when he and Laci spent more than a dozen gold coins on a meal in Lindong City, but he didn't expect that it would not even be a fraction of that in the Holy Continent.
"Dear Master Lachi and several distinguished guests, this is today's menu. Please take a look at what delicacies you would like to order!"
At this moment, five waiters came in from the door of the restaurant, respectfully handed the menus to the four people, and then waited aside.
Gervis also took the menu handed over by the waiter. He was very curious about the quality of the meal that started at 100 gold coins.
When Gervis saw the menu, he immediately realized that although the Leng Feicui Manor was extremely expensive, it was reasonably so.
"One low-level water swordfish, twenty gold coins"
"A pair of intermediate-level Explosive Flame Bear paws, seventy gold coins!"
"Fifty pieces of colorful deer antlers, one hundred gold coins!"
"One intermediate-level Thunder Eagle, three hundred gold coins!"
"One mid-level deep-sea seven-colored shell, five hundred gold coins!"
"High-level Thunder Flying Tiger Bone Stew, nine hundred and ninety-nine gold coins!"
“…”
Gervis flipped through the pages, and was not only shocked by the prices of the dishes, but also by the raw materials used in the recipes.
Except for the low-level fish, the rest are all mid-level magical beasts.
Whether it is running on land, swimming in water, or flying in the sky, this Leng Jade Manor actually includes them all.
Although there are fewer high-level monsters, there are still quite a few, but the price is daunting.
Gervis felt that even if he sold his auditor status, it would not be enough to eat and drink to his heart's content here.
Of course, in addition to monster meat, the menu also includes many vegetarian combinations of spiritual medicines and spiritual fruits, but Gervis is no longer going to look at them and just lets Laci and others order.
If he were to treat the guests himself, the amount would naturally be more, but the consumption here is not tens or hundreds of gold coins, but hundreds or thousands of gold coins, and his current financial situation does not allow it.
Soon, Laci and Adela each ordered a few dishes, including monster meat and vegetarian dishes. Gervis silently calculated the price and it would cost at least five or six hundred gold coins.
"Dear distinguished young masters and ladies, what kind of drinks would you like?"
After the few people finished ordering their meals, the waiter did not leave immediately, but continued to ask respectfully.
Drinks are provided free of charge by Cold Emerald Manor, so they do not appear on the menu.
"Let's have some juice, we have two ladies here, so no need for alcohol!"
Without even thinking, Lachi immediately responded to the servant in a gentlemanly manner.
If Adela hadn't been there, of course all the good wine would have been served, and no fruit juice would have been used.
He had rehearsed this gentleman's behavior in his mind for a long time, so he didn't say he needed alcohol naturally.
"Okay, Master Lucky!"
"But Master Lachi, we have a very precious drink in Leng Feicui Manor. It comes from the elves and has a very good maintenance effect on women. I wonder if you would like to taste it!"
"Um?"
Hearing that the maid actually took the initiative to add to the drama, Lachi frowned. This was not like the previous practices of Leng Feicui Manor. Doing so would likely cause disgust among customers!
"What kind of drink is that?"
But Laci didn't get angry after all, but asked patiently.
"Master Lachi, this drink is called golden wine!"
"It's brewed by the elves, and the Holy Company brought it back from the elves half a month ago! The quantity is very rare, and I heard that drinking it can make women's skin more delicate!"
The maid replied respectfully.
"What did you just say? Golden wine?"
Before Laci could reply, Gervis stood up suddenly and looked at the servant in shock.
"Yes... yes, young master, it's golden wine!"
The servant didn't know why Gervis reacted so strongly. He was shocked by Gervis's action and his face turned pale.
Everyone who comes here is either rich or noble. No matter what the reason, if the guests are furious or dissatisfied, it will be difficult for these servants.
"Harry! What's wrong?"
"Master Harry, what's wrong with you?"
Laci, Adela and others had never seen Gervis lose his composure like this before, and they all expressed their concern and asked about him.
You know, even when facing hundreds of orcs, Harry could calmly take the initiative to stay behind to cover their retreat. For such a person, what else could make him so excited?
"Sorry, I got a little excited just now! Actually, it's nothing. I was an orphan since I was a child. I remember my magic teacher said that he picked me up in a place full of grapes. So when I heard the word grapes, I subconsciously got excited. I thought I could find a clue about my life experience!"
"But now that I think about it, it's impossible. Since wine is produced by the elves, it definitely can't be where I was born!"
Gervis immediately realized that he was too excited, so he immediately activated the magical skill of "Noble Cultivation".
But he was indeed shocked just now. After all, he had been in the Holy Continent for so long, and he had never heard of the existence of wine here.
But now the elves actually have wine, and the name is exactly the same as the golden wine he brewed.
Gervis was worried that Eurasia had fallen into the hands of the church. After all, Alice and others should not be able to come to this holy continent.
"I see!"
Both Laci and Adela believed what Gervis said. Besides, it was not an important matter, so they didn't care.
Instead, they all felt quite sympathetic towards Gervis, as they had not expected that he was actually an orphan.
"By the way, Harry, what are these grapes you mentioned? Why haven't I heard of them before?"
"Yeah? Isn't wine made from this grape?"
"Well... I don't know what grapes are. I just heard my mentor say so, but I haven't seen them with my own eyes!"
Gervis could only continue to make excuses.
"Is that so? Harry, don't be discouraged. As long as the grapes exist, you will definitely be able to find them in the future!"
"Why don't we try the golden wine of the elves first, and then ask the steward here to come over and ask if the wine is made from grapes!"
Lachi was afraid that Gervis would be sad because of his background, so he tried to comfort him.
"Thank you, Master Lachi, I know!"
This dude, Laci, was quite humane. Gervis thanked him and sat back in his seat.
He also wanted to taste the golden wine of the Holy Continent first to see if there was any difference between it and his own golden wine. Then he would be able to judge what was going on.
Dear bosses! You owe me a lot of monthly tickets!
