Chapter 649 Got it!
Alice was preparing to go to the City of Hope to compete for a passage spot, but Gervis knew nothing about it.
After returning to the academy building, Gervis first placed the tools for preparing potions in an empty room on the second floor, and then went to the kitchen downstairs to get busy.
To be honest, since coming to the other world, Gervis has never cooked by himself. Even when he was grilling oysters, he had his subordinates to help him.
Fortunately, Gervis is a fire magician, and making a fire is just a matter of seconds for him.
After lighting the stove, Gervis began to work in the kitchen.
Boom boom boom!
Time passed minute by minute, and after Gervis had been busy for more than an hour, there was a knock on the door of Gervis's building.
"Well, so early?"
Gervis looked at the sky outside and found that the sun was still hanging in the sky, and there were not many people on the road outside the small building. This meant that most of the students should not have finished class yet. He did not expect someone to come so early.
"who!"
Gervis asked as he walked towards the door.
"It's me, Adela!"
As Gervis finished his question, Adela's pleasant voice came from outside the door.
"It's this chick again!"
Gervis muttered to himself
But after knowing it was Adela, Gervis understood why he came so early.
"Welcome, Adela! Please come in!"
When Gervis opened the door, the pretty Adela was standing outside the door a little restrained, and Gervis made a gesture of invitation very gentlemanly.
"Thank you, Harry-san!"
Adela's pretty face turned slightly red and she felt a little embarrassed. Logically, it would be more appropriate for him to come with Zenia, but she really couldn't wait any longer.
After she delivered the books to Harry, she did not go to class and stayed in the dormitory all afternoon.
Moreover, she felt somewhat uneasy staying in the small building, and was eager to get a reply from Gervis.
Adela stood on the balcony four or five times this afternoon, each time pretending to casually look at Harry's building.
Looking forward to seeing Gervase, or Harry returning the book to her.
Although Adela knew that such a thing would not happen, even if Harry returned the book to her, Gervase probably would not have had time to take the letter.
After all, Gervis would probably come to collect the letters in the dead of night.
But Adela was still a little restless, so after waiting for an entire afternoon, she finally couldn't wait any longer and came directly to Gervis, thinking that this way she would feel more at ease.
Gervis warmly welcomed Adela to the living room on the first floor, asked her to sit on the sofa, and then spoke softly.
"Student Adela, please sit here for a while. I still have some food to cook, so I can't accompany you!"
"It's okay, Harry, go do your work, don't worry about me!"
Adela's pretty face blushed slightly, and she naturally didn't say much.
Then she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Gervis walk into the kitchen.
I came here for some unknown reason, and now I realize it belatedly, and I feel a little embarrassed.
Of course, this was also because Harry's character was admirable in her eyes, otherwise even if Adela was anxious, she would not dare to come to Gervis's small building alone.
…
"Your Excellency the Duke, Miss Adela did not go to class this afternoon, and according to the news just received, she went to the junior wizard named Harry!"
Inside the Sky City's headquarters, Waddington was reporting to Duke Edward.
Ever since he knew that Adela had been in contact with a mysterious person, and that the mysterious person had given her psychic potions and potions to increase mental strength, Edward arranged for Waddington to send someone to secretly observe Adela's every move to see who had contact with Adela on a daily basis, so as to find out who the mysterious person was.
"Have you found out the identity of that Harry?"
"Your Excellency the Duke, the Holy City of Heka is quite far away, and the news from there has not yet been delivered."
"But according to the information we got from the City of Hope, this student named Harry entered the academy with the quota of auditors from the Holy City of Heka."
"And he was also among the young lady when she went on the adventure to the magician's tower. At that time, he was employed by the second young master of Heka Holy City, Lachi."
"I heard the young lady mention this on the way back, saying that this student named Harry is a very good person. He once volunteered to stay in the magician's tower to cover the young lady and others and block the orcs' pursuit. In the end, he survived because of luck."
"Well, don't worry about it for now. Just keep an eye on who the young lady comes into contact with. Don't miss any suspicious people. If we can determine the identity of that mysterious person, it will have a huge impact on our Sky City!"
"You go ahead!"
After listening to Waddington's answer, Edward thought for a moment before speaking.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke!"
Waddington responded and prepared to leave.
"By the way, don't let Adela find out, otherwise she will definitely be unhappy!"
Just as Waddington turned around, Edward suddenly added.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke!"
Waddington turned and saluted again, then quickly left Edward's study.
…
"Adela, come and have a drink of water!"
Gervis went into the kitchen and continued to work for a while, and finally remembered that Adela was a guest after all, so he had to pour her a glass of water.
So he poured another cup of hot water and brought it to the living room. At this time, Adela was sitting on the sofa quietly without any movement. Her sitting posture was dignified and elegant. It was obvious that this sitting posture was the result of long-term training.
"Thank you, Harry."
Because it was her first time staying alone in a male classmate's dormitory, Adela was naturally reserved. However, when Gervis handed her the cup of tea, she responded very politely, unlike her usual behavior when Zenia, Laci and others were present.
"Adela, are you a little bored? If so, I'll go to the study and get you a book to read."
When Gervis saw Adela's appearance, he knew that it took a lot of courage for this rich young lady to come to his dormitory building alone, and he was the culprit of all this.
Gervis felt a little guilty and wanted to take care of this silly girl as much as possible, so he asked in a soft tone, wanting to find a book for Adela to read to relieve her tension.
"Books?"
Hearing Gervis' words, Adela, who was originally a little nervous, had her eyes flickering.
In fact, before she came, she really wanted to check the book she had delivered at noon to see if the letter paper had been taken away by Gervis.
But the study was a very private place after all, and Adela was too embarrassed to ask to go to the study, so she could only stay quietly in the living room.
Now, hearing Gervis suddenly mention it, Adela felt a little courage in her heart.
So Adela replied a little embarrassedly.
"Harry, you still have to make dinner. How about I go to your study and find some books I like to read?"
After saying this, Adela looked at Gervis with some anticipation but also a sense of guilt.
She seldom lies. After all, with her status, she has no chance or need to lie.
After hearing what Adela said, Gervis smacked his lips and took a serious look at Adela, the rich girl, who looked a little helpless. He felt a little funny and a little distressed.
Adela looked at Gervis and waited for a moment. Seeing that Gervis did not answer immediately, her pretty face became even redder, and then she spoke.
"I am sorry for being so presumptuous. If it doesn't work, then I won't..."
"Of course you can. The study is upstairs. Go find it yourself. I have to go to the kitchen to watch over it. Otherwise, the food will be burnt and won't taste good!"
Gervis tried to make his tone softer, and after he finished speaking, he went to the kitchen on his own.
When Adela saw Gervis turning around, a look of joy appeared in her eyes. She didn't care about her pounding heart and walked impatiently to the stairs and went to the second floor.
The layout of the dormitory buildings was exactly the same, so Adela quickly arrived at Gervis' study.
There are not many books in the study, only half a bookshelf. Gervis has not purchased or rented any books since entering the college, and this half shelf of books are all provided by the college.
Adela came to the study not to read books, so her eyes were immediately fixed on the desk after entering the study.
The first thing she saw was the book she had lent to Harry at noon, which was placed in the corner of the desk.
Seeing the book, Adela looked outside the study room with a guilty conscience, then slowly walked to the desk.
"Hey, they took it away!"
Picking up the book she had lent to Harry, Adela felt as guilty as a thief and her heart kept beating fast.
And when she opened the inconspicuous little hole on the cover and took a look inside, her heart began to pound even harder.
Because she found that the letter paper in the book cover was missing!
"When did Gervase come? If only I could see him in time!"
Adela would not suspect that it was Harry who took the note, because the small hole was very hidden and the note was stuffed very deep, and people who didn't know would never look inside.
Therefore, the only possibility was that the letter was taken away by Gervis, and Adela felt a little regretful that she had missed the opportunity to meet Gervis.
"But since Gervis has taken the letter, he will definitely reply soon!"
"I just don't know when Harry will come back to return the book to me!"
After confirming that the letter had been taken away, Adela began to worry about when she would receive a reply...
If Gervis knew Adela's current state, he would definitely say: It's over, this girl has been seduced...
Boom boom boom!
"Harry! Open the door! We're here!"
Just as Adela was feeling anxious and worried, there was a knock on the door from downstairs.
Hearing this voice, Adela quickly put away her thoughts and hurriedly put the book back on the desk, then picked up a book from the bookshelf at random, and then hurried downstairs.
After Adela came downstairs to the living room and finished cooking, Gervis slowly walked out of the kitchen.
"Lachi, Zenia, welcome, welcome! Come in, Adela is waiting for you!"
"Thanks, Harry!"
"Thank you, Harry-san!"
Laci, who was outside the door, came here with Zenia. To be honest, the reason why Laci came here with Zenia was to ask Zenia to go find Adela.
But it was obvious that Adela had already come to Gervis, so he naturally came back empty-handed.
After a few greetings, and knowing that Adela was already exhausted, Lucky immediately quickened his pace and walked into the living room.
"Adela, you're here so early!"
When Laci and Zenia saw Adela, they immediately came forward and greeted her.
"Okay, stop saying hello, you guys came just in time, dinner is ready, let's get ready to eat!
Gervis's timing for cooking was just right. At this time, the round table in the restaurant was already filled with various delicious foods, which were the results of Gervis's nearly one and a half hours of work.
"Wow! It smells so good! Harry, I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking?"
Naturally, the few of them stopped chatting and went straight to the restaurant. When they saw the long table full of delicious food and smelled the fragrant aroma, Laci immediately praised Gervis.
Even Zenia, who had the lowest status among the three of them, was born into a wealthy family. Therefore, she had never had the opportunity to cook since she was a child. It was natural that she was very surprised that Gervis could prepare such a sumptuous meal.
"Just don't be disgusted. I can't afford a place like Leng Feicui Manor, so I can only invite you young masters and young ladies to have a meal in my small building!"
"Okay, stop looking and come and eat. It won't taste good if it gets cold!"
Gervis smiled slightly and urged everyone to take a seat.
"How could I possibly dislike it? In my opinion, doing it myself is much more troublesome than spending money. Then let us taste Master Harry's cooking skills!"
When Adela was around, Lucky was even more talkative, just trying to attract attention.
Then several people sat down one by one. The round table in the Gervis Restaurant was very large. After the four of them sat down, they did not feel crowded at all. Almost everyone was more than one meter apart.
"Harry, what is this white food? Why is there fruit on it? It smells like milk."
When they sat down, the first food they saw was a small cake placed in front of them, which was covered with a layer of white cream.
The cream cake was naturally new to Laci, Adela and the others, so Laci immediately asked about it when he saw it, while Zenia and Adela also looked at the small cake in front of them curiously.
"This is called cream cake. Try it. It's a very popular delicacy in my hometown!"
"Then we won't be polite! Harry-kun!"
At this time, Zenia could no longer sit still. When she heard what kind of cream cake it was, she immediately picked up a fork and started to eat it.
Adela also nodded slightly, raised her hand and began to work on the cream cake gracefully.
"Oh! Harry, I didn't expect that besides having a talent for magic, you also have a talent for cooking, haha!"
The rich milky aroma and smooth texture of the cream cake were a complete storm in the mouth for Laci and the other two. As soon as Laci took a bite, he exaggeratedly praised Gervis.
Adela and Zenia's eyes lit up as well, and they were obviously very satisfied with the cream cake.
"I'm glad you like it! But don't eat too much cake yet. I bought a swordfish today, so save some space for the fish soup!"
Although he was interacting with them under a false identity, after spending a few months with them, Gervis had already regarded them as his friends. He was naturally happy to see them enjoying their meal.
Next, without Gervis' urging, Laci and the other two began to clear the food on the table.
Especially the troll fish soup that cost Gervis more than 500 gold coins. Gervis used the cooking methods of his previous life to cook this fish soup and fully brought out the deliciousness of the troll fish. Laci exclaimed in amazement after eating it, and even Adela had a strange look in her eyes.
Half an hour later, the few of them had almost finished all the food on the table, and then they began to chat casually.
"I have some news for you. The academy will start selecting outstanding students in a few days. It seems that they are competing for some kind of channel quota!"
Laci shared his news with a few friends in a rather mysterious way.
"What channel quota, and who are you competing with?"
Gervis didn't care about these things so he didn't interrupt, and Adela wasn't a talkative person either, so in the end it was Zenia who got curious and asked Laci.
"I'm not sure what the channel quota is, but it seems like we have to compete with other races!"
Lucky was quite embarrassed. When his uncle informed him of this matter, he was in a hurry to meet Adela as soon as possible and ran away without wasting any time, so he only listened to half of it.
"We are competing with the beastmen and elves for a spot in the passage to the God's Falling Land!"
Hearing that Laci couldn't explain the reason clearly, Adela, who had been sitting upright, spoke up.
She happened to have heard about this incident from her grandfather that day and even knew the cause.
"It's actually a fight with the beastmen and elves. It could be very dangerous. We'd better not get involved!"
Zenia was still a little scared when she heard about the orcs. If the God of Death had not appeared last time, they might not have been able to walk out of the magician's tower alive.
"There are actually elves!"
Lach's focus was obviously different from Zenia's. As soon as he heard the elves' words, his eyes began to light up and his attention was immediately drawn.
"Yes, there are also the elves, but my grandfather said that the elves are unlikely to participate in this fight because they have not left the sacred forest for decades!"
Adela nodded and continued.
"All right!"
Laqi was suddenly exhausted, his face full of disappointment. It was obvious that the elf beauty had a great appeal to Laqi.
After hearing this, Gervis was also slightly disappointed. Of course, he was not here to see the beautiful elf beauties like Lachi was, but to see if there was a chance to find out about Caroline.
If the elves didn't come, he naturally wouldn't be able to conduct the investigation.
Next, the few of them continued to talk for a while, and then the servant that Laci had already instructed came to Gervis's small building to help clean up the mess in the kitchen.
The few of them chatted in the living room until dark, and then returned to their respective dormitories!
