Chapter 651 I am Gervis's girlfriend! (Three in one)
"Your Excellency the Wizard, please come in!"
At the gate of the Holy Trading Company Manor, Adela was not wearing a snow-white dress today, but had resumed her identity as a magician.
Because she had important things to do today, and magicians were a manifestation of deterrence and privilege in the Holy Continent.
Under the respectful guidance of the servant at the door, Adela soon arrived at the hall of the Holy Trading Company.
"Your Excellency the Magician, do you want to buy it yourself, or..."
"I'm here to get something!"
Adela's hood was still on at this time. When she heard the servant's formal greeting, she didn't want to delay any longer, so a crisp voice came out from under the hood, and a card with the inscription of the Holy Company logo was revealed in her hand.
"Your Excellency the Honorable Magician, please come this way!"
When the servant saw the magic card in Adela's hand, he immediately understood what was going on, and then led Adela to the back of the hall.
The building of the Holy Trading Company is very large. The front half is used to display and sell goods, while the back is a warehouse and a place for storing and retrieving items.
Following the servant's lead, after passing through several doorways guarded by guards, Adela finally arrived at a quiet hall.
There were not many people in the hall at this time. Only one or two people were in the compartment handling deposit and withdrawal business with the servants of the Holy Trading Company.
Soon, Adela was also invited into a compartment.
When she sat down, the servant respectfully served her tea and then left quietly.
At this time, a man who looked like a manager came in from outside the private room and sat opposite Adela.
"Hello, Master. I am the manager of the deposit and withdrawal business of the Holy Company. I will be at your service now. Are you going to deposit or take out the items?"
"I want to take the items!"
Although it was the first time for Adela to use the deposit and withdrawal service of the Holy Trading Company, she had a high status and was not afraid to face these servants and the managers of the Holy Trading Company. She directly placed the magic card on the table!
"Number 321, was deposited three days ago, and the fee paid is fifty gold coins!"
When he saw the magic card on the table, the manager quickly found the corresponding record in the register according to the code above.
"Mister Mage, the number record has been found. Now you just need to inject magic power into the magic card and then say the reserved message to complete the verification. After the verification is completed, you can take away the stored one!"
"Of course, I can also do the steps of injecting magic power into the magic card for you!"
This steward himself is also a junior magician, and that is why he can become one of the stewards here.
Because magic cards must be infused with magic power to be effective, this is also the means by which the Holy Company verifies the authenticity of magic cards. After all, the cards are anonymous.
"No need! I can do it myself!"
Adela is a magician herself, so naturally she doesn't need the help of this steward.
He immediately picked up the magic card and slowly injected magic power into the card. As the magic power was injected, the complicated inscriptions on the magic card gradually lit up, and then the card number appeared out of thin air.
"I'm Gervis' girlfriend!"
Adela spoke the message that Gervis had left very frankly, and even as she spoke the message, one could still see a slight smile of joy under Adela's hood.
Naturally, there is no such thing as couples or boyfriends and girlfriends in this world.
In Adela's cognition, because she is a woman and a friend of Gervis, the phrase "I am Gervis' girlfriend" is a very appropriate description. This sentence means that Gervis regards her as a friend.
bite!
When Adela spoke this message clearly, the number that appeared out of thin air like a three-dimensional projection changed from gray to green, and then the magic card in Adela's hand broke into two pieces with a ding.
"Mister Mage, please wait a moment. I will go get the items stored in our store for you now!"
When the steward saw that Adela's message was correct and the magic card was automatically destroyed upon completion of the contract, he immediately bowed respectfully to Adela and then quickly headed for the storage warehouse at the rear.
About three or four minutes later, the steward came back with a small wooden box.
"Mister Mage, this is the storage item numbered 321, please check it!"
The steward carefully placed the small wooden box in front of Adela and gestured for her to come in.
When Adela saw the small wooden box, she did not put it away immediately. Instead, she leaned forward slightly and moved closer, then opened the box a crack.
Through the small gap, Adela immediately saw three bottles of light green potion that looked like green crystal.
“The quantities and items match.”
After checking that everything was correct, Adela closed the lid of the wooden box again and put it directly into the space bracelet in front of the manager.
"Thank you!"
Adela suppressed her surprise, thanked the steward, and prepared to leave.
"Take care, Master! Welcome back next time!"
When the steward saw that although Adela was only a junior magician, she actually possessed a storage space device, he showed envy in his eyes and returned the gift to Adela respectfully.
…
After getting the three potions, Adela left the Holy Trading Company directly in a carriage.
"Miss, where do you want to go now?"
This carriage was specially arranged for her by her grandfather. It would wait outside the college on weekdays and he was her full-time driver.
"Let's go to the manor!"
Adela sat gracefully in the carriage. The wooden box containing the potions had appeared in her hands again. Looking at the three potions lying quietly in the wooden box, Adela's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light.
This was the first time that Gervis had asked her to do something, and it was a very important matter, which made Adela feel that her relationship with Gervis had become closer.
So, Adela was determined to help Gervis get this done.
The reason why she went to the manor now was naturally to ask her grandfather for help and advice.
Although Adela came from a large family and received all kinds of education since childhood, she really had no experience in how to do business.
…
After about ten minutes, the carriage arrived smoothly at the manor of Sky City.
When the carriage stopped in front of the magnificent building square a few days ago, two maids immediately came forward to help Adela get off the carriage.
"Pearl of the Sky City! How come you have time to come back to the manor today? Are you missing your grandfather?"
Adela had just stepped out of the carriage when Edward's words came over.
Edward had received the news that Adela was heading towards the manor, and he was a little surprised why Adela came back to the manor again. You know, Adela seldom came to the manor before, and she had classes to attend in the afternoon.
In fact, Adela didn't need to live in the academy at all, because only direct descendants of the Sky City could live in this large building in the manor, and the decoration and servants were very complete.
But Adela thought it was too quiet here, so she insisted on staying in the college, and even the Duke Edward couldn't do anything about it.
"Yes Grandpa, I missed you again!"
Adela had a request to make from her grandfather today, so she spoke up obediently.
"Haha! Adela, you are the most filial to your grandfather!"
Edward naturally did not believe Adela's answer. Just by looking at Adela's expression, he knew that Adela must have come back to see her for something.
But since he only had this one granddaughter, he immediately cooperated and praised Adela.
Then, Adela quickly came to Edward and took his arm affectionately.
"Grandfather, let's go to the living room. I have a surprise for you!"
Adela had a sweet smile on her face and walked towards the gate with Duke Edward.
"Oh? You actually have something to show your grandfather? I'm really looking forward to it!"
Edward was a little surprised when he heard Adela say mysteriously that she had something to show him. He immediately walked into the door with Adela while chatting and laughing.
…
"Adela, show grandfather what the surprise is."
Arriving at the spacious living room on the second floor, the two sat side by side on the soft sofa. Edward immediately asked Adela curiously.
"Yes, Grandfather!"
Adela pursed her lips, and without delay, she took out a light green potion from her space ring.
"Is this it? Didn't Grandfather see it the day before yesterday?"
When Edward saw Adela take out the potion to increase mental strength, he hadn't reacted to what was going on.
"Grandfather, this is another one!"
Adela said something dissatisfied to Edward, and then she moved her mind and another identical potion appeared in her hand.
"Hey, this is the potion I used last time!"
"this……"
When Edward saw two identical potions in Adela's hands, the smile on his face froze.
"Adela, is this also a potion that increases mental strength? When did you get it?"
Edward found it a little unbelievable. Waddington had sent people to monitor Adela's movements these days, and Waddington reported to him every day.
But Adela's activities have been almost the same these days. She is either in the classroom or in the dormitory building.
The only mistake was that Adela seemed to be getting a little close to the student named Harry.
Of course, given the current situation, we can only say that the relationship between the two is pretty good, and the guy named Harry stays in the dormitory building every day, and doesn't have any other strange behavior.
So all in all, the surveillance over the past few days has not yielded any results, and Waddington has not found any valuable targets at all.
But now Adela actually took out another potion to increase mental power. Edward even suspected that Adela had two such potions at the beginning.
However, Edward also knew that such a thing was impossible. After knowing what happened to Bedford that day, if Adela had two potions, she would definitely tell him on the spot.
So where did Adela get this potion from, and how did she get in touch with that mysterious man?
“Grandfather, this potion is what I just got. It is also a potion that increases mental strength. You can take it to Grandpa Bedford later!”
When Adela saw her grandfather's surprised look, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Her grandfather had always been calm in the face of everything in the past. It was a great thing that she could surprise her grandfather today.
"Haha, okay! Grandpa will give it to Bedford later. Adela, you really gave Grandpa a big surprise today!"
"By the way, Adela, have you seen your friend?"
The surprise on Edward's face had faded, and he asked Adela with a kind smile.
The appearance of the second potion actually does more than just help Bedford break through.
This shows that even if the mysterious man did not prepare the potion himself, he must know the person who prepared it.
Now the key to everything lies in finding out the identity of that mysterious man.
"Yes! I have seen it!"
Adela did not hide it and nodded immediately, but she did not reveal any more information.
Gervis's identity cannot be exposed, she keeps it in mind.
Since she had agreed to it, this was a secret between her and Gervis, so she couldn't reveal it even if her grandfather asked.
"Did he make any requests?"
Seeing that Adela was still unwilling to reveal the identity of the mysterious man, Edward did not force her, but directly changed the subject.
In Edward's opinion, whether it is a psychic potion or a potion to increase mental strength, they are both things that can cause a shock to the entire Holy Alliance.
But that mysterious man gave the potion to his granddaughter again and again, so he must have some intention.
This is the second potion to increase mental power, so Edward needs to confirm whether the mysterious man has made any requests. If so, then it would be easier to deal with, as it would be an equal exchange.
If not, then he would really have to mobilize all the power of Sky City to investigate the matter.
As the master of the sky city, he has seen too many intrigues and deceptions, and he doesn't believe that there is a free lunch in the world.
If the mysterious man does not make any demands now, it means there is probably a bigger conspiracy.
"have!"
Adela responded softly.
"Do you want gold coins or some other materials?"
Edward finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Adela's answer. Since there was a request, the situation had not yet reached the worst.
"Grandfather, my friend is not as bad as you say!"
Adela was somewhat dissatisfied, thinking that her grandfather's taking gold coins in exchange was somewhat degrading to Gervis.
"And what does he want?"
Edward frowned slightly.
"He has two more of these potions and wants me to help him sell them!"
"What? There are two more potions to increase mental strength!"
Edward suddenly stood up and four such potions appeared at once, which was really amazing.
Even the most common top-grade recovery potion has a low success rate, let alone this magical potion that increases mental strength.
According to Bedford's speculation two days ago, he said that in order to prepare such a potion, not only is the success rate limited, but the materials must also be very scarce. Otherwise, no one else would have been able to prepare such a potion for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
Therefore, even if this medicine can be prepared in large quantities, it would be in units of months or even years, such as one vial per month, or several vials per year, but this is probably not the case now.
"Yes, Grandfather! I have already brought the potions. I came here just to ask you what I can do to sell these two potions at a higher price!"
As she spoke, Adela took out a wooden box from her space ring, and the two bottles in the box were the potions that Gervis was going to sell.
Edward stared at the wooden box that Adela took out. When Adela opened the box, he saw two light green potions inside.
Edward only felt his heart beating fast. Since he became the lord of the Sky City, he rarely had such a feeling.
Of course, it's no wonder that Edward made a fuss, because such a potion may very well represent the appearance of a wizard.
In this sacred continent, magicians are rare, but wizards are even rarer.
This is because most magicians will be stuck at the advanced magician level and cannot make any further breakthroughs due to various reasons.
Although there are various factors involved, there is no shortage of people who are unable to make further progress due to mental problems.
Therefore, if one has such a potion, it will definitely be able to recruit those who are unable to break through and become wizards due to their mental strength.
And every magician is extremely important to any holy city force.
At first, Edward was thinking of using this potion to increase mental power on ordinary people to train junior magicians. Now thinking about it, it is so ridiculous.
At that time he didn't understand the true effect of the potion, but now that he knew it, how could he possibly waste it.
"Adela, did your friend tell me how much he wants to sell these two potions for? Grandfather is willing to spend gold coins or other things in exchange for these two potions!"
With such a precious thing in front of him, how could Edward let it slip away? He immediately spoke softly to Adela.
"No, Grandfather!"
After hearing what her grandfather said, Adela immediately shook her head and refused.
Although this would make her grandfather angry, Gervis had already given instructions in advance, so she naturally had to complete it according to the agreement.
"Why not?"
Edward frowned and looked at his granddaughter. He didn't believe that his granddaughter's arm would be bent outward, so he didn't get angry, but just continued to ask.
"My friend said that at least half of this potion is sold openly!"
"And this is my first time helping him sell potions, so I want to sell both of them!"
Adela answered Edward with a serious expression.
"Adela, each of these potions that increase mental strength may represent the appearance of a wizard. Do you know what this means?"
Edward looked serious and naturally would not give up so easily. After all, it was related to the gains and losses of two wizards, and he could not take it lightly.
"Grandfather, I know. However, my friend said that this time he is just trying it out. He will have more potions to sell in the future!"
"And he promised me that if I help him sell 20 potions, he will give me one. Here, this is his reward to me in advance!"
"If...if there are too many potions in the future, I will ask him if he can sell them to our Sky City at a lower price!"
Adela pursed her lips and finally told him about the reward.
She knew that if she didn't tell him, her grandfather would definitely stop her from selling the two potions.
She didn't want to break the promise she had made to Gervis, nor did she want to upset her grandfather.
"He really said that?"
Edward was stunned, somewhat incredulous.
Being able to say this, doesn't it mean that such medicine can really be prepared in large quantities, and the output is not just a few bottles a year?
If this is true, then the situation will be completely different, and any force will go crazy about it.
"Yeah, Grandfather!"
Adela nodded affirmatively!
"Okay! In that case, let's sell it!"
Edward didn't even have to think about it. After getting confirmation, he made the decision immediately.
Whether to play the long game to catch a big fish or to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, such a thing is something Edward doesn't need to think about.
Moreover, even if it is put up for sale, Sky City has the ability to purchase it.
Although doing so would completely expose the matter regarding the mental potion, Edward naturally had to take a gamble for the greater possibility.
Even if 10 doses of such medicine can be prepared in a month, the impact and benefits it will bring will be unimaginable.
Even Edward had to be treated with caution.
After making the decision, Edward remembered Adela's last words and spoke to her softly.
"Pearl of the Sky City, Grandfather knows that he loves you very much. Next time your friend brings you a potion, you must give him half. This is what you just promised Grandfather!"
"Um!"
Since Gervis had allowed it and her grandfather said so, Adela had no choice but to agree.
After nodding in agreement, Adela still remembered what she needed to do most right now, and immediately continued to speak to Edward.
"Then grandfather, can you teach me how to sell these two potions so that they can be sold at a higher price?"
"Haha! Leave this matter to grandpa. Grandpa will guarantee your satisfaction!"
Although the identity of the mysterious man has not been found out yet, the potion is now flowing out through his granddaughter's hands, which means that Sky City has control over the channel of the potion, so Edward is naturally in a very good mood.
The mysterious man did not sell the potions himself because he must be worried about his safety, so Edward needed to help Adela get this done.
In this way, before the mysterious man's identity is exposed, Sky City will be more proactive than other forces and can obtain more potions.
"Waddington!"
"My Lord Duke, you are looking for me!"
"Send someone now to inform the representatives and mayors of other holy cities that I will be holding a meeting at the Holy Alliance headquarters. I have something important to announce!"
"Also, help me arrange a meeting with the manager of the Holy Trade House, or that little girl named Lolita, and tell her that I have something that will shock the Holy Alliance and I want to auction it at the Holy Trade House!"
How to maximize benefits is too easy for Duke Edward, the most powerful man in the Holy Alliance.
He just gave two simple instructions, but it was equivalent to finding the information channel of the entire Holy Alliance.
"Yes! Your Excellency the Duke!"
Without any hesitation, Waddington agreed directly and quickly left the living room!
"Come on, the pearl of the Sky City. Today, Grandfather will let you see the power of Grandfather! I guarantee that your friend will be glad to know you!"
