Chapter 678 How to win over!
Seeing that shameless bastard God of Death being sent to the Sky City in a carriage, Lolita felt mixed emotions.
Although Lolita's strength was not weak, she had no chance of escape when facing Marshall.
Although the bastard Killer God was shameless, this seemed to be the second time he saved himself.
If I don't have any gratitude for saving my life twice, I can be said to be a cold-blooded person.
But Lolita was not a cold-blooded person. Although she didn't want to marry this bastard, she was the only one who shouted "be careful" to remind Gervis when Houston made his move.
Logically speaking, if this shameless killer had really been killed by Hulton's sneak attack, she should be happy.
But when the smoke and dust had not yet cleared, she had a faint hope in her heart that this hateful bastard could survive.
When the smoke cleared, Duke Edward said that the God of Death still had breath, and Lolita finally felt relieved.
This strange feeling made her very scared and very irritated.
If I no longer have the desire to kill that bastard, doesn't that mean I should marry him?
Otherwise, according to the priest's prophecy, a great disaster will be brought to the sea people.
But even though he no longer had the intention to kill this shameless bastard, he still didn't like him.
On one side are her people, and on the other side is her own happiness. Lolita fell into deep distress.
…
While Lolita was in trouble, on the other side of the crowd not far away, when Hulton learned that the God of Death was not killed by him, his face immediately turned pale.
He paid such a huge price and lost face in front of so many Holy City Lords today, but that God of Killing did not die!
The most important thing is that Edward cut off two of his fingers, which will greatly affect his future strength.
After all, holding a sword requires the use of the palm, and losing two fingers will definitely have an impact.
"Killer God! Edward!"
Hulton gritted his teeth and called out the two's names in his heart!
"Duke Hulton, you are injured, you should find someone to treat you as soon as possible!"
Seeing Hulton's gnashing teeth, the previous city lords were unwilling to say anything more to him. Only a city lord who was an ally of the Golden Shield Family spoke up and gave him a reminder.
Although no one from the Golden Shield family was among those who came to save people today, after all, almost all the descendants of the city lords present were saved by the Killer, and the Killer was even injured in the attempt to kill Marshall.
Even if Hulton really had an irreconcilable hatred with the God of Death, he should not have killed him today, especially by launching a sneak attack in front of them.
This not only embarrassed Hulton himself, but also embarrassed the city lords.
If it weren't for the various interests involved, they would not have stopped Edward when he took action earlier, and they were unwilling to stand up and be ungrateful.
But even though he has become an ungrateful person, he still feels ashamed of what Houston did tonight.
Next, the lords of the holy city glanced at Houston a few times and did not stay any longer.
With what happened tonight, the birthday party was definitely over, and everyone began to leave Leng Feicui Manor with their children.
As for how to make the New Temple pay the price for this incident, I believe Edward will also convene an alliance meeting tomorrow.
And this time, the New Temple really touched the bottom line of these city lords. They even dared to plot against their descendants. Even if no alliance meeting was held, each city lord would launch a severe search and revenge against the New Temple after returning to their territory.
…
The city lords in the Leng Feicui Manor began to disperse, and Gervis was taken directly back to the Sky City’s base and lived in a magnificent building that only the direct descendants of the Sky City could live in.
Although Gervis's breath was not weak at this time, he was still in a coma.
Edward had already called Bedford, the wizard and master of alchemy, to check his injuries.
After Bedford, who has now broken through to become a five-star magician, investigated, he found that although Gervis was not in mortal danger, he was seriously injured and his internal organs were shaken, and it was impossible to tell when he would wake up.
After receiving such news, in order to be more cautious, Duke Edward sent someone to invite Master Welton from the Alliance College again!
Because Master Welton is a wood magician, and although the attack power of wood magic is not strong, it has many powerful means for healing.
When Master Weldon came to check on Gervis' injuries, he also gave the result that his life was not in danger, but his injuries were a bit serious.
Fortunately, Master Weldon gave an estimate of when Gervis would wake up, saying that it would take a day or two.
After hearing this, Adela finally felt relieved and sat by the bed, staring blankly at Gervis's slightly pale face.
At this moment, all she could think of was the scene when Marshall swung his sword towards her neck.
At that time, Adela thought she was really going to die. Faced with such a horrific scene, she, as a rich girl, was naturally scared and even felt suffocated.
But the next moment, the pain and death she had imagined did not come. Instead, she heard a sharp collision sound in her ear, and then her whole body began to spin, and she was embraced by a strong arm.
When Adela opened her eyes, she saw the fierce knight Gervis who had been haunting her dreams!
He really appeared in front of me like a knight when I was in the most danger and protected me from harm.
But before Adela's sweet and happy feeling could last long, she suddenly felt Gervis' body pause and let out a muffled groan.
Adela knew that Gervis must have been injured while trying to save her, and all she had in her heart was worry.
Finally, when Gervis threw her out and turned around without hesitation to fight with the villains of the New Temple, Adela's heart almost melted.
As she thought about it, Adela couldn't help but raise her fair and slender hand and slowly put it above Gervis' face.
When his hand was still two or three centimeters away from Gervis' cheek, Adela's face flushed slightly, and she hesitated whether to let go.
Finally, Adela gritted her teeth, slowly put her hand down, and gently stroked Gervis' cheek.
The touch felt slightly warm, and Adela separated immediately, the shyness on her face becoming even more pronounced.
Finally, she blinked her eyes again, and reached out her little hand to stroke the other side of Gervis' cheek.
After a while, Adela finally stopped, her heart beating like a deer. This was the first time she had actively contacted the opposite sex at such a close distance.
It’s no wonder that since she truly got to know Gervis, Adela is no longer afraid of this fierce knight. Instead, she feels that the fierce knight is actually a gentle person and a great gentleman.
As she thought about it, Adela shifted her gaze to Gervis's clothes.
Because the situation was urgent, Gervis did not change out of his gown. Instead, he allowed Bedford and Welton to start treatment immediately while still wearing the gown.
At this time, the servant had gone to get new clothes, so only Adela and Gervis were left in the room.
"Hey! This dress seems familiar!"
Suddenly, Adela accidentally looked at the clothes on Gervis and felt that they looked familiar, which made her feel a little puzzled.
Previously, her attention was focused on Gervis's injuries, but now after observing carefully, Adela noticed something.
After having this feeling, Adela couldn't help but start thinking carefully in her mind.
After thinking for a moment, Adela suddenly opened her eyes wide and froze in place. She remembered why the dress looked familiar.
The dress Harry was wearing when he gave her the gift seemed to be similar to the one Gervase was wearing.
"Could it be that Gervase is Harry?"
Adela had this guess in her mind.
"No, Harry is a wizard! The Fierce Knight is not a wizard!"
The next moment Adela immediately and firmly denied this possibility, because Gervis had always been using fighting spirit, while Harry could use dual-system magic and was also a junior magician.
Fighting spirit and magic cannot be practiced at the same time. This is something that every titled knight and magician in the Holy Continent knows.
Boom boom boom!
"Come in!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Adela immediately sat up straight and shouted outside.
"grandfather!"
When the door opened, the person who came in was not the servant who went to get clothes, but Edward who had just gone to see Master Weldon off.
“Adela, why don’t you go to your room and rest for a while? Leave this to the servants!”
Edward walked into the room and saw Adela guarding the bedside of the killer young man. He said something to his granddaughter with heartache.
"No need, Grandfather! I'm not tired now, you go ahead and do your work! If I get tired, I'll go and rest by myself!"
When Adela heard what Edward said, she shook her head firmly at him.
She didn't want to leave now. She just wanted to quietly look at the ferocious knight in front of her. She was afraid that Gervis would wake up and leave like before.
“Adela, look at your clothes, they are all dirty now. You should go wash up first and come back when you are done! If the young killer wakes up by then, you will definitely not look pretty like this!”
Although Edward wanted Adela to stay, he also felt sorry for his granddaughter. After thinking for a moment, he immediately made an excuse.
When Adela heard Edward's words, she immediately looked at the snow-white dress she was wearing.
At this time, her snow-white dress was covered with a lot of dust because she had been held on the ground by Gervis and rolled around, and then was knocked to the ground by the aftermath of Houston's attack.
If it were the Adela of the past, the first thing she would do after returning would be to wash and change into new clothes.
But today, all she was thinking about was Gervis' safety, so she naturally had no time to worry about the condition of her clothes.
Only now did Adela react after hearing her grandfather's reminder.
What's more, what his grandfather said made a lot of sense. If he was so dirty, then if Gervis woke up, wouldn't it leave a bad impression on him?
Thinking of this, Adela hesitated a little. She wanted to go wash up, but she also wanted to stay with Gervis until he woke up.
"Adela, go wash up! Grandfather will help you here!"
Seeing that his granddaughter was persuaded, Edward thought that Adela was worried about Gervis' safety, so he immediately added a sentence.
"Okay, Grandpa, I'll be back soon!"
After hearing this, Adela did not hesitate and immediately stood up and looked at Gervis. Then she said something to Edward and ran out of the room quickly.
Only after Adela ran out of the room did Edward shake his head helplessly, and then looked at Gervis with complicated eyes.
If Edward still can't tell from Adela's current behavior that his granddaughter is interested in the killer youth, then his position as city lord is in vain.
Although because of the transcendent status of Sky City, Edward was not very concerned about letting Adela marry into a big family in the future.
But the identity of the killer in front of him is unknown and he has many mysteries. If his granddaughter really falls in love with him, Edward still has many worries.
It's just that Adela's parents disappeared when she was very young, which made Edward dote on Adela on weekdays, for fear that Adela would be sad without the love of her parents.
So even though he knew that Adela had some feelings for the young killer, he didn't dare to remind her or discipline her.
Boom boom boom!
While Edward was standing beside the bed, wondering how to deal with the relationship between his granddaughter and this murderous young man, the door of the room was knocked again.
"Come in!"
"Your Majesty the Duke!"
The person who came in was Waddington. Because of the existence of Gervis, the people of the New Temple had no chance to leave the Leng Emerald Manor before they were destroyed.
So the previous arrangements were naturally useless, and Edward also sent people to notify Waddington and others to return.
"Well, the New Temple actually attacked Adela this time. You should arrange more people to protect her in secret in the future!"
Edward's voice was calm, and there was no anger in it anymore.
Although Waddington made a big mistake today by being sent away, Edward and the others were also sent away by the same trick.
This was entirely because no one could have imagined that the New Temple would be so bold and daring as to send out five or six hundred people to cooperate with the two hall masters to come to Leng Feicui Manor to kidnap Adela.
Fortunately, Adela and the others were not hurt tonight, so Edward's anger towards Waddington naturally subsided.
Waddington was one of Edward's most trusted subordinates, otherwise he would not have allowed him to follow him to the City of Hope and made him responsible for Adela's safety.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke!"
When Waddington heard the instructions, he naturally bowed and agreed immediately.
Then Waddington looked at Gervais, who was lying on the bed with a slightly pale face, and said to Edward.
"Your Excellency the Duke, is this the God of Death? How can he be so young?!"
Although everyone knew that the God of Killer was a young man, those who had not seen him in person thought that he was at least around 27 or 28 years old. However, judging from his appearance, he could not be more than 20 years old.
He was less than 20 years old but he was able to kill the Black Flag Knight. If it hadn't happened right before their eyes, no one would believe it if they told others about it.
"Yes!"
Edward knew what Waddington was thinking and confirmed it.
Then he thought of something, paused and continued, "It seems that this killer gave Adela two more potions of unknown effect at the banquet today. He must have some connection with the mysterious pharmacist. Do you think we should take this opportunity to win him over?"
"Of course you can, Your Excellency the Duke. Not to mention other potions, even if it's a spiritual potion, if we can get a large amount of it, it means we can recruit many high-level magicians!"
Waddington didn't think much about it and just told the truth!
"I had the same idea, but the only thing that bothers me is how to win over this young killer!"
Judging from the information Edward had obtained so far, he had nothing in terms of strength to use to win over this God of Death.
After all, the God of Killing has reached this level of strength at such a young age. The methods of cultivation and secret techniques are just gifts at most. It is impossible to win over the God of Killing and make him feel a sense of belonging to the Sky City.
As for the wealth in gold coins, this killer received more than 200,000 gold coins from Adela for each potion he sold. Although he would probably have to share the profits with the mysterious pharmacist, having this potion channel meant he had no shortage of money.
"Your Excellency the Duke, if possible, I think the only thing I can try is my status!"
"Oh! Tell me what you think?"
Edward had also considered this, but he was not sure whether the God of Death would accept it.
"Your Excellency the Duke, from the moment this God of Death appeared, he became a wanted criminal in the Holy Continent, and it was the same until tonight!"
"Moreover, even if the God of Death rescues the heirs of the various holy cities tonight, there is no guarantee that some of the holy cities will continue to secretly attack him in the future for profit issues!"
"So if you can give him an identity, maybe you can really let him join our Sky City!"
