Chapter 683 Looking for Gervis!
In the inner city of the Sky City, in a small and exquisite manor, Alice was sitting in a small garden.
Beside her stood a little maid respectfully. It was Anna, Gervis's personal maid.
This time, Lina was unable to come along because she had become the steward of her palace and was required to manage the affairs of the entire palace.
Finally, Alice thought about it and brought the maid Anna over.
The reason for bringing Anna here was not only to serve him, but also because Anna was familiar with Gervis, so he asked her to follow Nadine around to see if it was possible to find any trace of Gervis.
As a queen, she naturally couldn't wander around the streets.
Although arranging only one or two people to search is like looking for a needle in a haystack, this is also the first step for Alice to take the initiative to look for Gervis.
"Anna, go out and look for any clues today!"
Although she knew very well that Anna would find nothing if she went out to look, Alice still couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty, Commander Nadine and I went to the taverns in the outer city this afternoon to look for him. We also asked the servants, but there was no news about His Majesty the King!"
Anna stood obediently beside Alice and whispered to her the results of the afternoon's search.
The reason why they went to the outer city tavern to look for him was because they thought that since Gervis had just arrived in Ramp, there was a high probability that he would live in the outer city.
They had seen the inner city when they came here. There were manors and small buildings everywhere. Those who could live in them should be the nobles and celebrities of the Holy Continent.
Although his king was powerful, he was an outsider after all. He had no identity and did not have enough money, so he certainly could not live in the inner city.
Gervis is a titled knight and is quite powerful. If someone knows him, they might go to the tavern.
Unfortunately, they asked in no less than a dozen taverns in the outer city, but no one knew their Gervis, and they had never even heard of anyone with the same name.
"Well, it's okay. Let's continue looking for him tomorrow! We should be able to stay in this City of Hope for quite a few days! Gervis's elf bugs are still fine, which means he must be somewhere in the Holy Continent."
Anna's answer was within Alice's expectations, but she still looked disappointed after hearing the result.
She said "it's okay" to Anna, but actually she was also saying it to herself.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Anna responded obediently, and then seemed to have something to say to Alice.
However, he had some concerns and was hesitant to speak.
Anna is an extremely innocent little maid. She cannot hide her thoughts on her face.
Alice noticed it immediately and spoke to Anna.
"Anna, if there is something you want to say, just say it!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Anna no longer concealed it and said it immediately.
"Your Majesty, when we went to those taverns to look for His Majesty the King this afternoon, we accidentally heard the guests in those taverns talking about the people of the New Temple!"
"They said that people from the New Temple showed up in the City of Hope a few days ago, trying to kidnap a young lady from a big family!"
“There are people from the New Temple!”
Alice was indeed shocked after hearing this.
It’s not that they are afraid of the people from the New Temple. After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The New Temple, like a rat crossing the street, cannot compare to them.
What she was really worried about was Gervis' safety.
In fact, the easiest way for them to find Gervis along the way was to draw a portrait of Gervis and then go to those holy cities to post missing person notices.
However, they did not do so for the time being because they were worried that the people in the New Temple would also know the news.
Because the elves and their Eurasian forces are still very weak, they can only stay near the sacred forest. If Gervis is really in danger, they will not be able to rescue him.
Therefore, this method needs to be put off until later, and this is also the reason why Alice is anxious to make Gervis's ministers stronger.
Anna saw Alice's worried look and immediately continued.
"But don't worry, Your Majesty. I heard from them that all the people from the New Temple were killed. The City of Hope is also hunting down members of the New Temple. The New Temple shouldn't know about our search for His Majesty the King!"
After hearing Anna's last words, Alice felt relieved. After a moment of silence, she said to Anna.
"Well! Then you can continue searching tomorrow!"
In fact, the two of them didn't know that if they had chosen to use the portrait to find Gervis directly, they would have known long ago that their king had already become famous in this sacred continent and was rumored to be a cruel and bloodthirsty killing god.
Even if they had not dared to stop in those holy cities for fear of encountering danger along the way, they would have been able to see the eye-catching wanted posters of the killer Gervis at the city gates.
In fact, the City of Hope was filled with wanted posters with portraits of the God of Death two days ago. However, because Gervis killed many people from the New Temple the night before, he saved almost all the heirs of the Holy City.
This made all the holy cities feel embarrassed to issue wanted orders for the God of Death, so they all sent messages back to ask the holy cities to withdraw the wanted orders. The City of Hope was closest to the scene of the incident, so of course they did this early the next morning.
If this wanted order had been withdrawn three or two days later, Alice would have known that Gervis was enjoying himself in the inner city manor, because it was common knowledge that the God of Death was taken to the resident manor by the Sky City to recuperate.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Anna responded obediently.
"Let's go, go back and rest!"
From then on, Alice had no intention of sitting idly in the garden, and immediately took Anna to the small building not far away.
News of their arrival this afternoon has reached the Holy Alliance headquarters.
The Holy Alliance Council has also sent someone to notify us to go to the Holy Alliance headquarters tomorrow morning to discuss the specific date for the competition.
…
"Grevith, Miss Lolita said that a delegation of elves came to the city today!"
In the room where Gervis was recuperating, Adela had already returned to the room and was telling Gervis the news she had received from Lolita.
"Hmm? Are the elves coming?"
When Gervis heard this, he was also shocked. This was good news. After he recovered from his injuries, he could find a way to ask about Caroline.
Adela saw that Gervis was interested and continued happily.
"Yes, they just arrived at noon! I heard that their queen came with them this time!"
"I heard that elves are all very beautiful, so the queen must be even more beautiful. I have never seen an elf or their queen, I really want to go and see what they look like!"
“Even the Queen is here!”
Gervis was also slightly surprised. The Queen of the Refined Elves had come all the way to the City of Hope, which was great news.
Then, noticing Adela's longing look, he immediately smiled and said, "There will definitely be a chance to meet her."
"Um!"
After talking about the elves with Adela, Gervis thought of that girl Lolita and said.
"Is Lolita just here for the auction today?"
"Yes, Miss Lolita came here specifically for the auction. The auction will be held the day after tomorrow. After I gave her the potion, I chatted with her for a while and then she said goodbye and left!"
Adela nodded in the affirmative, then remembered something and spoke.
"Lolita just asked about your condition. I said you were fine, and then asked her if she wanted to come and see you. She refused to come. Maybe she's still afraid of you!"
Adela felt that Gervis was not cruel at all, but a very kind person.
So naturally he tried his best to change other people's ideas about Gervis.
Miss Lolita seemed to have some grudges with Gervis, so she specially asked Adela to come to this room to find a way to resolve the conflict between the two, but Lolita refused.
Adela had no idea that the conflict between Gervis and Lolita was something she could never resolve!
Either Gervase dies or Lolita marries Gervase. There is no solution at all.
"Haha! It's okay!"
Gervis replied nonchalantly.
But in his heart he thought: "Fortunately she didn't come. She was willing to come to see me, but I didn't want to see her. If this girl wanted to kill me while I was weak, it would be troublesome!"
Next, Gervis and Adela continued chatting for a while, and then went to bed early.
Now that Gervis had woken up, Adela naturally felt embarrassed to stay in Gervis' room any longer, and returned to her own room reluctantly.
…
The next day, Gervis finally regained some strength and was able to get out of bed and walk slowly.
It was almost noon, and Adela came to Gervis's room with two servants, preparing to change Gervis into new clothes, because today at noon was the coronation ceremony of Gervis's guardian knight.
A moment later, Gervis was dressed with the help of the servants, and then walked out of the room accompanied by Adela.
At this time, many servants in the manor were busy. Although the coronation ceremony was not very grand, it was still necessary to invite several prominent figures to serve as witnesses.
And Adela said that his grandfather had already made arrangements and would invite Master Kelwin from the Alliance Academy of Higher Learning, as well as the two city lords Johnson and Bruno.
Having these people together to witness it, although it is not as grand and solemn as a state banquet held hundreds of years ago, it is enough!
After all, time is too tight, and this is also the City of Hope, so it cannot be held in a grand manner.
"Gervis, how about we hold the coronation ceremony in this square later!"
"My grandfather is now at the Holy Alliance headquarters discussing the competition with the beastmen and elves. When he comes back, we can start the competition right away!"
Adela brought Gervis to the square in front of the door, pointed happily and asked Gervis.
At this time, a high platform had been set up in the square and a red carpet had been laid. Although it was not large in scale, it looked very formal with colorful flags flying.
“Yeah, not bad!”
Gervis looked at it for a moment and nodded, indicating that he had no objection.
"Well, let's go sit over there for a while. Grandfather should be here soon!"
Adela happily took Gervis into the hall, and then sat inside with Gervis waiting.
Thanks to "The Wandering Bookworm" and "Bai Taizhen" for the reward!!!
