Chapter 662 Guilt!
Next, five days passed in a flash, and during these five days, Gervis had been practicing.
However, undercurrents were surging inside and outside the academy, and the entire City of Hope was filled with spies searching for Gervis.
Of course, they don’t know Gervis’ true identity yet, they are just looking for the mysterious pharmacist who is called the Father of Spiritual Power by magicians.
Of course, Gervis himself, who had always lived in seclusion, had no way of knowing this news. Instead, the girl Adela passed it on to Harry the day after the auction by lending the book to him.
In addition to informing everyone, big and small, that all the forces in the Holy Alliance were looking for him, the letter that Adela delivered this time also asked Gervis how to transfer the gold coins from selling potions to him.
In fact, Gervis was also very worried about how to receive the gold coins obtained from the auction from Adela.
Gervis had not originally expected that a few potions could be sold for so many gold coins, so he had not predicted that getting the gold coins back would be such a hassle.
He sold a total of 7 mental power potions this time, and the total amount of gold coins was not a small number.
Of the seven potions that increase mental strength, except for the three potions for Adela's grandfather, Duke Edward, each costs 35,000 gold coins.
The other four were auctioned for one for 48,000 coins, one for 37,000 coins, and two for 36,000 gold coins.
The total amount of these gold coins is as much as 232,000 gold coins!
Such a large amount of gold coins would require more than ten medium-sized treasure chests to hold them.
Therefore, these gold coins could not be deposited in the Holy Bank like potions so that Gervis could take the opportunity to withdraw them.
If he really went to the Holy Trading Company to get it, he would definitely be walking into a trap. It would be more convenient for him to let Adela deliver it to him openly.
Another point is that Adela, as the only person who can contact the mysterious pharmacist, is naturally exposed to the eyes of all forces in the Holy Alliance.
Although those forces did not dare to send people to monitor Adela openly, there were still many people secretly paying attention to Adela's every move.
In recent days, the flow of people in the single-family dormitory area near Gervis has increased significantly, and the students living in some small buildings have changed.
Even Gervis was secretly asked whether the dormitory could be transferred for a fee.
If Gervis is willing to transfer the dormitory, he will be rewarded with 500 gold coins.
Gervis naturally refused this. Although the people who questioned him were also students, Gervis knew without thinking that these people must have been instructed by some force to observe Adela's whereabouts.
To this end, Edward had even discussed with Dean Palmer. In order to ensure Adela's safety, he let Waddington temporarily live in a small building nearby to specifically protect Adela's safety.
In this situation, it would be impossible for Gervis to get the gold coins directly from Adela, and the risk was very high.
However, if the gold coins are not taken back, Gervis will soon be out of money and food. Moreover, as Harry, he owes Adela 5,300 gold coins. If he doesn't pay them back, Harry's reputation will be ruined.
So, Gervis spent half a day thinking about it, and finally came up with a relatively safe solution.
Of course, although this method is safer, it will cause some hard work for Adela, the daughter of a wealthy family.
Fortunately, judging from Adela's performance, she would definitely agree to Gervis' request.
Gervis's solution was to ask Adela to prepare a few more medium-sized treasure chests of the same number, and not let anyone notice the existence of the fake treasure chests.
Then let Adela pretend to store the treasure chests containing stones in the Holy Trading Company.
After the fake treasure chest is stored, let Adela wander around the inner city to attract attention, pretending to give the stored magic card to someone.
The real rule of transfer is to let Adela come to Harry when she has time, and store the real treasure chest in the space bracelet in Harry's study while he is not paying attention, and at the same time use the excuse of inviting Harry out to send her away.
At that time, 'Grevith himself' will sneak into Harry's dormitory and take the treasure chest away.
The treasure chest of gold coins has always been kept in Adela's space bracelet. Outsiders naturally don't know whether the treasure chest that Adela stored in the Holy Trading Company is real or fake.
I would never have thought that the real treasure chest was placed in Harry's study.
When Harry returns to the dormitory, he can collect the gold coins in the study.
Doing so not only deceived the Holy City forces that were investigating, but also deceived Adela.
Adela naturally didn't know that the 'Harry' she had sent away was her fierce knight, nor did she know that during the time they were away no one had sneaked into Harry's study and taken the gold coins.
After coming up with this idea, Gervis passed the information to Adela by putting it inside the cover of the book the next day under the pretext of returning the book.
…
As for the fierce knight she thought about day and night, Adela had no doubt why Harry returned the books more frequently. Instead, she felt quite fortunate to receive a reply earlier.
After learning of Gervis's method, Adela took action. She secretly found some medium-sized empty treasure chests in the warehouse of the manor in the Sky City and put them into the space ring. She also put some heavy sundries in it.
The reason why stones were not used was because Adela had nowhere to find them, but the weight of the debris was about the same.
Afterwards, Adela went to the Sacred Firm accompanied by Walton.
Adela's action naturally caught the attention of all the spies, but Adela did not hide it. She directly deposited more than a dozen gold coin treasure chests into it and paid a month's storage fee at one time.
Then Adela followed Gervis's instructions and wandered around the city. She even stopped the carriage in crowded places and walked among the crowd.
This trip lasted for two days, and Adela stopped going out after two days.
…
Gervis didn't know what Adela did because he had no way to follow her.
However, he and Adela agreed that the actual time for delivering the gold coins would be today at noon. If Adela followed his plan, she would come to him today.
Boom boom boom!
Just when Gervis thought the time was about up and stopped practicing, he heard a knock on the door.
Then Gervis immediately went downstairs and opened the door.
"Harry! I want to go to your study to borrow a book from you. The college prepares it for each dormitory. I don't know where my book is. Is that okay?"
When the door of the small building opened, the pretty Adela was seen standing at the door.
By now Adela had gotten used to lying to her classmate, and she no longer felt awkward when she lied.
"Of course, Adela-san! Go find it yourself!"
Gervis looked at Adela with a smile and agreed readily.
This idea was taught by him, and he must help Adela successfully complete the plan of hiding the treasure chest in the study.
However, when Gervis looked at Adela's natural expression, he felt a little guilty.
It seemed that Adela originally could not lie. She would blush when she lied, but I taught her to be a bad person step by step.
It is naturally immoral for such a pure and innocent young lady to let others learn bad things because of her own thoughts. Gervis's sense of guilt is a normal reaction of conscience.
"Thank you, Harry!"
Adela breathed a sigh of relief because things were going well, said something to Gervis, and then quickly went to the study on the second floor.
She had no idea that the Harry in front of her was the Gervais she had been thinking about day and night, and she was still feeling guilty for having corrupted her.
A minute later, when Adela went downstairs again, Gervis was pretending to read a book in the living room on the first floor.
"Harry!"
Adela came to the living room with a book in her hand and called out to Gervis.
"Well, Adela! Did you get the book you wanted to borrow?"
"Found it, thank you so much, Harry! By the way, Harry, to show my gratitude to you, I'll treat you to lunch!"
Adela invited Gervis with a smile.
"Let me treat you! You've lent me so many books! But I can only treat you to a meal in the college cafeteria!"
Gervis smiled slightly, closed the book in his hand immediately, then stood up and said.
"Okay, thank you very much, Harry!"
Adela now only wanted to get Harry out of the way, so naturally she would not dwell on this matter any longer and agreed immediately!
Afterwards, the two of them went straight out the door, and after Gervis locked the door, they headed straight to the cafeteria.
Last chapter tonight! Go to bed early everyone!
