Chapter 664 Breakthrough to become a Golden Knight!
Nothing happened that night, and the next day Gervis sent a letter to Adela.
Because he knew that Adela must be very curious to know whether she had successfully obtained the gold coins.
After delivering the letter to Adela in a book, Gervis went directly to the Holy Trading Company!
He came to the Holy Trading Company this time not to buy medicine materials, but for Adela's birthday present.
It's less than half a month until Adela's birthday, and Gervis needs to prepare a gift for her.
After arriving at the Holy Trading Company, Gervis went up to the second floor where magic equipment was sold with ease.
"Show me these gloves!"
Coming to the counter where he and Laci stood last time, Gervis pointed at the pair of lightweight spider silk gloves and said to the servant.
"Okay, Your Excellency the Honorable Magician!"
The servant responded respectfully, then carefully took out the pair of hollow spider silk gloves and handed them to Gervis.
When he got the spider silk gloves, Gervis knew that this thing worth 999 gold coins was indeed extraordinary.
These gloves feel as thin and smooth as a cicada's wing, and they feel as light as if they were nothing on the hands. They feel many times better than those high-end silks.
"Pack up these gloves! I want them!"
When attending Adela's birthday, the gift cannot be too shabby.
Although Harry's status meant he didn't need to give a gift worth six or seven thousand gold coins like Lachy did, but these 999 gold coins were just right.
It was neither too expensive nor too shabby, a gift from an ordinary friend, just right for Adela, a rich lady.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Honorable Magician!"
Hearing Gervis' words, the servant became more respectful, quickly found the gift box from the Holy Trading Company, and began to pack the pair of lightweight spider silk gloves.
"Now Harry's identity has purchased a good gift! But what about Gervase's identity?"
Watching the servants busying themselves, Gervis couldn't help but look around the store to see if there were any other gifts that were suitable for Gervis's status.
However, after taking a quick look, most of these magic equipment and magic accessories were not to Gervis's liking.
Either it was too ordinary and unworthy of Adela's temperament, or it was too expensive, requiring forty or fifty thousand gold coins.
Although Gervis now has more than 200,000 gold coins on him, he would not squander them like this.
"How about sending some medicine?"
An idea suddenly popped up in Gervis' mind. In fact, this idea has always been in his mind.
He now has three kinds of potions, any one of which is worth tens of thousands of gold coins, and this gift is also unique, which can just enhance Adela's strength.
And although this potion is very valuable to outsiders, the cost is very low for Gervis.
Thinking of this, Gervis did not stop and directly paid the gold coins for the Light Spider Silk Gloves, and then left the Holy Trading Company.
After leaving the Holy Commercial Estate, Gervis first went to the shop where he accompanied Laci to pick up the gift box last time. In this shop, he also customized a high-end gift box, spending a total of hundreds of gold coins.
After paying the deposit for the gift box and agreeing on a date to pick it up, Gervis rode his Nightmare directly towards the outer city.
It has been more than ten days since he equipped more than sixty skeleton soldiers. During these days, the number of skeleton soldiers he contracted has increased at a rate of seven or eight per day. In the past ten days, Rigvis has more than seventy more skeleton soldiers.
Gervis came to the outer city just to go to the Quillard blacksmith shop to forge armor and equipment for the remaining seventy-odd skeleton soldiers. Now that he is wealthy, he naturally does not lack such a little money.
Moreover, Gervis had summoned No. 1 and other skeleton soldiers to check on them a few days ago, and found that No. 1 had become stronger again. The soul fire in its head gradually began to turn red.
The same goes for other ordinary gray skeletons, which are also being upgraded to green skeletons.
Although Gervis didn't know how No. 1 and those gray skeleton soldiers did it, he believed that it would not be long before No. 1 would be able to become a red-level skeleton, and the other gray skeletons would be able to become green skeleton soldiers.
In the past, Gervis had read from the Book of the Dead that it was very difficult to increase the level of dark creatures, but now he did not feel any difficulty. He did not even have to do anything. He just put No. 1 and the other skeleton soldiers back into the dark world, and they would become stronger on their own.
At first, Gervis wondered if it was because of the Heart of the Undead, but the problem was that except for No. 1 and Nightmare, the other skeleton soldiers did not have the Heart of the Undead.
Therefore, Gervis couldn't figure out what these skeleton soldiers of his were doing in the dark world.
Of course, if you can't figure it out, then forget it. In short, everything will develop in a good direction. Anyway, the higher the level of these skeleton soldiers, the greater the benefit to him.
Riding on Nightmare and wearing a wizard's robe, Gervis came to the outer city unimpeded, and arrived at Quillard's blacksmith shop after a while.
When Quillard saw Gervis coming, an exaggerated smile immediately appeared on his face, and he came forward and greeted him warmly.
Because Gervis is already his big customer, he can customize fifty or sixty sets of complete sets of weapons and equipment at one time, which is relatively rare in this outer city!
This time, Gervis did not disappoint the dwarf blacksmith. He immediately ordered a complete set of seventy-six sets of weapons and equipment, with a total amount of more than one thousand five hundred gold coins.
Under the almost flattering smile of the dwarf Quillard, Gervis dropped a deposit of seven hundred gold coins, then walked out of the blacksmith shop and returned to the academy.
When he returned to the academy, Gervis was holding a small treasure chest containing 5,300 gold coins.
Now that I have money, I naturally need to pay back the gold coins I owe to Adela first.
After returning the 5,300 gold coins to Adela, Gervis returned to the dormitory.
…
Time flies when one is rich, and that is no different for Gervais today.
In the next few days, Gervis practiced in the dormitory every day. Except for the rich girl Adela who would occasionally come to borrow and return books, Gervis practiced in the dormitory almost all by himself.
After Adela received Gervis's reply last time, she sent a book to Gervis the next day.
When Gervis opened the letter inside the cover, Adela expressed in the letter that she was happy to help Gervis successfully complete the sale of the potion.
She also said that if Gervis had more medicine to sell in the future, he could just write to her and she would be happy to serve him again.
At the end of the letter, the girl used the simplest words to tell Gervis that her birthday was coming soon.
However, there was only this short sentence. Adela did not send an invitation to Gervis in this letter, because Adela obviously knew that it was unrealistic for Gervis to attend her birthday party.
But even if Adela didn't write it, Gervis knew that this girl really wanted to go to the birthday party, because when Adela wrote that her birthday was coming soon, the handwriting was very heavy, and it was obvious that Adela was very conflicted and nervous at that time.
After reading the letter, Gervis smiled slightly, then picked up a pen and began to write a reply.
In the letter, Gervis told Adela that although he could not attend her birthday party in person, he would give her the birthday gift he had prepared for her.
After writing, Gervis stuffed the letter into the cover of a book and gave it to Adela three days later under the pretext of returning the book.
From then on, Gervis began to practice without distraction.
Time flies and it is already Adela's birthday.
That morning, Gervis was sitting cross-legged in his training room, his forehead covered with sweat and his clothes on the back were wet with sweat.
With the red kiwi fruit and a constant supply of potions, Gervis finally reached the bottleneck of his peak today.
At this time, Gervis is constantly trying to break through the bottleneck and want to break through to become a golden knight. As long as he can break through successfully, it means that he truly possesses extraordinary power and has reached the point where his fighting spirit can leave his body.
However, this Golden Knight is worthy of the title of the most difficult chasm to cross among the knights. Even for a body like Gervis that has been strengthened by the golden kiwi fruit, it is quite difficult to break through.
Of course, if he could slowly hone his skills on this bottleneck for a year or two like other titled knights, then he would be able to become a golden knight naturally and would not have to worry about being stuck at this bottleneck.
But Gervis naturally couldn't wait that long. He didn't want to wait even one or two months, let alone one or two years. So, he was now attacking the bottleneck head-on.
With each attack of fighting spirit, Gervis felt as if he was hit head-on by the White Flag Knight and was in excruciating pain.
He had experienced this feeling only once, when he broke through from an apprentice to become a bronze knight.
"No, my Qi channels are not wide and strong enough now, and the fighting spirit I have gathered is not enough to break through this bottleneck in one go!"
After trying to attack four or five times, Gervis finally discovered the problem, which was that his current Qi channels limited the amount of Dou Qi he could mobilize.
After finding the reason, Gervis opened his system panel without hesitation.
Then, Gervis' eyes fell on the system mall, and he exchanged three golden kiwis in one breath.
Taking the three golden kiwis in his hand, Gervis ate them all in one go without even tasting their deliciousness.
As the golden kiwi fruit began to slowly take effect, the energy channels in Gervis' body were also slowly changing, becoming wider and tougher.
"It should be okay this time!"
After waiting for a few minutes, when the effect of the golden kiwi fruit finally stopped, Gervis immediately concentrated and prepared to give it a try.
As Gervis sensed his body, the countless fighting spirits in his body were mobilized outside his Qi sea, and gathered together in the most dense and concentrated way like deploying troops.
When everything was ready, Gervis endured the soreness in his meridians and took a deep breath.
"Now, break it for me!"
boom!
Following a low roar from Gervis, the fighting spirit in his body, like a flood or a ferocious beast, immediately rushed towards the sea of qi.
puff!
At the moment when the fighting spirit hit the qi sea, Gervis could clearly feel that the qi sea had been shaken a little, but it was not broken in one fell swoop. Instead, Gervis was shocked to the point of spitting out a mouthful of bright red blood.
Gervis was naturally unwilling to give up. He endured the severe pain from his body and then mobilized the blocked fighting spirit again.
"Break it for me!"
Gervis roared once more, and his fighting spirit once again crashed into his qi sea like a whirlwind.
Wave!
Following this violent impact, a crisp sound came from Gervis' mind, as if the cork of a medicine bottle was pulled out, and all the fighting spirit in the meridians rushed into the sea of qi.
At the same time, with this crisp sound, Gervis's qi sea has also undergone different changes.
Originally, the fighting spirit in the sea of qi gathered in it like gas, but now it slowly began to merge and settle, turning into a viscous liquid.
Moreover, Gervis's Qi Sea is also constantly expanding, from a small lake to a large lake.
"Haha! It finally worked!"
Gervis sensed the changes in his body, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and laughed heartily with his head tilted back.
At this time, he finally became the Golden Knight!
Gervis then circulated his fighting spirit rapidly in his body, and as the fighting spirit circulated, a faint red light slowly emerged on his body.
Moreover, this spiritual light did not just cover his body surface, but could directly leave the body and appear around Gervis' body like a protective shield.
After continuing to check his condition and making sure there was nothing wrong, Gervis stood up with a happy look on his face. Becoming a Golden Knight meant that his ability to protect himself was even stronger.
Now, even if the person in front of him was a beginner knight of the White Flag, Gervis was confident that he could protect himself from him.
As for the Golden Peak Knight, Gervis can even challenge the enemy of higher levels without relying on magic.
…
The eastern area of the outer city of the City of Hope is considered the gathering place of the elite class of the City of Hope and is also the base of other small and medium-sized family forces.
In a large villa in the East District, dozens of people gathered together. Each of them had a calm demeanor and obviously possessed extraordinary powers.
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, the gate of the villa was knocked.
Then, dozens of people immediately showed vigilance, and one of them immediately asked
"who?"
"I, Kinnear!"
At this time, a low response came from outside the door.
When these people heard Kinnear's name, the wariness on their faces immediately disappeared, and then one of them quickly walked towards the gate of the villa and opened it.
After the door opened more than half a meter wide, a middle-aged man immediately flashed in from outside.
If Pope Longfellow of the church were still alive, he would definitely recognize this man. This man is the messenger of the New Temple, the one who sent the teleportation scroll to the Holy Continent last time.
"Ambassador Kinnear, how are the arrangements outside the city going?"
When Kinnear came into the courtyard, a middle-aged man immediately asked.
"Everything is ready. We have already contacted the outside world! And the efficacy of the potion has also been confirmed, so it must succeed this time!"
"As long as you successfully complete the mission, you will definitely receive a reward. Ever since the plan for the overseas island failed, our New Temple has been in a passive position!"
"So the temple master is very concerned about this matter. It has a huge significance for our new temple, even more important than the overseas island plan!"
Kinnear looked at the dozens of people around him with a serious expression and gave instructions.
"Yes, Ambassador Kinnear!"
These dozens of people all agreed immediately.
"Well, let's do it as planned later! Here is the invitation! Remember to be quick and keep the victim alive!"
As he spoke, Kinnear took out a few invitations with purple covers and handed them to a few of them.
…
Boom boom boom!
In the evening, Gervis changed into a purple silk dress for a rare occasion, and his hair was combed to a shiny finish. At this time, there was a knock on the door of his small building.
"Harry, hurry up! It's getting dark!"
Along with the knock on the door came Lach's loud shout.
"Here we go! Lachi!"
Gervis immediately stood up from the desk and walked towards the door downstairs.
When Gervis opened the door, he saw Lachi, who was dressed up, standing at the door anxiously.
Today, Laci was wearing a green silk dress embroidered with gold and white patterns, which looked pretty good.
But after Gervis's experience on the Internet in his previous life, he found it a little strange to see a man wearing such "forgiveness-colored" clothes.
"Come on, Harry!"
Laci obviously didn't notice Gervis's strange look. When he saw Gervis coming out, he hurriedly urged him to hurry up.
Tonight is Adela's birthday party. Lucky started preparing for it a month ago, so he is naturally eager to have it today.
"OK!"
Seeing that Lach was so anxious, Gervis didn't waste any time. He closed the door and walked out of the college with Lach.
When they arrived outside the academy, Gervis rode his Nightmare, while Lach rode an ordinary warhorse.
Lachi looked at Gervis's mount with some envy and sighed, "Magicians are so good. Even their mounts are so unique!"
Although Laci had seen Gervis riding Nightmare at the last auction, he still couldn't shake the envious look on his face.
"Haha! Just lucky! Lachi!"
Gervis naturally had nothing to say. He just gave a dry laugh and attributed it to luck as a response.
"Harry, what gift have you prepared for Adela!"
After looking at it for a while, Laqi moved his eyes away from Gervis's mount and placed them on a small gift box that Gervis hung on the side of the saddle.
This gift box is not high-end, but it is still exquisite, and it is a style of the Holy Company. The necklace that Laci bought last time was also packaged in such a box.
However, Lachi felt that the gift box provided by the Holy Trading Company was of too low quality, so he later ordered a special one.
"It's the pair of lightweight spider silk gloves from last time! I don't have too many gold coins, so I can only buy this pair of magic gloves as a birthday gift!"
"Oh! That's very thoughtful of you!"
Lachi nodded when he heard the answer. This gift was indeed suitable for Gervis. It was neither shabby nor expensive.
"That's good. I heard that Adela has a rival today. I hope our birthday gifts can help her win some face!"
"Hmm? What opponent?"
Gervis was stunned and didn't know what was going on.
"There's someone else holding a birthday party with Adela today!"
Lucky replied calmly.
"Is there such a thing?"
Gervis never thought that birthday parties could be held together.
