Chapter 695: All the tricks that women know!
At this moment, a hand patted Gervis' shoulder.
Gervis turned his head and saw that it was Olde who was sitting next to him.
"Boy, you're pretty good!"
"Haha, thank you Prince Alder for your praise..."
"However, I am satisfied with your abilities, but you already have Alice as your wife, so why do you seem to be so close to Duke Edward's granddaughter?"
By now, Gervis already knew that the bad-tempered elf was actually Alice's father, the old earl.
When she heard his praise, she thought the father-in-law was here to comfort her, but she didn't expect him to change the subject and come to defend her daughter.
"Ahem! Prince Alder, there must be some misunderstanding here!"
Gervais, of course, denied it flatly.
But Olde frowned and immediately raised his voice.
"That day in the manor of Sky City, I saw you and a girl named Adela were very close. She was holding your hand the whole time. The two of you walking hand in hand together really looked very well matched. At that time, I thought you were a couple!"
When Alder first met Gervis, he did praise the two of them in his heart as a good match, but he really didn't expect that this guy was actually the second son of Gandalf, who kidnapped his daughter.
Logically speaking, Gandalf had been with her for many years, and although he was a rough man, he was very loyal in his feelings. His wife had passed away for more than ten years and he had never remarried, but his second son was so different.
"Hey! That's because I'm injured! I need help!"
Gervis was embarrassed. It seemed that the old earl was very resentful.
"Well, you're injured? Let's not talk about whether you were able to force Hulton to passively defend with that blood-red sword today or not. Is this injury real?"
"Even if you were really injured, why didn't you let the servants help you? How could the daughter of the Sky City help you walk?"
Olde narrowed his eyes, obviously not believing what Gervis said. After all, how could Gervis, who was sickly one moment, tear a tiger apart with his bare hands the next moment? No one would believe it and would think that there must be something fishy going on!
"Well……"
Gervis was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment!
I can’t say that I have kiwi fruit, so I can only smile awkwardly!
"Elves!"
At this moment, Dean Palmer in front shouted over here.
It turns out that the draw before the competition has already begun.
There are three races participating in this competition, so opponents need to be selected by drawing lots, which is the fairest way.
At this time, the young men from the human and beast tribes had already arrived beside Palmer, but the elves here had not yet gone there.
"I'll take those young men to draw lots!!"
Without waiting for Gervis's answer, Olde stood up and gave him a weird smile, then led the elven youth towards Palmer.
Only then did Gervis feel a little relieved. This Olde was his father-in-law, and he really had no way to treat him. But what was his last weird smile?
Confused, Gervis looked towards Alice and Adela on the left, wanting to see if the two had finished their conversation.
But when Gervis turned around, he was stunned.
I saw Adela and Alice were looking at me, and they were no longer talking to each other as before.
Alice's face was frosty at this time, and there was a dangerous flash in her eyes.
Adela's face flushed slightly, with a hint of joy in her eyes.
It was obvious that Alice and Adela had heard Olde's previous questioning.
So Alice was naturally extremely dissatisfied and jealous.
Adela thought about how powerful Gervis was just now, and wondered if the injury she suffered two days ago was fake? Then she deliberately let him support her!
Doesn't this mean that Gervis is also interested in her? That's why her face is filled with shyness and her eyes are full of excitement.
As soon as Gervis saw this situation, he knew that he had been tricked. The questions he had just asked were definitely a trap set by Olde for him, and what he really wanted to say was to Alice.
"What a vicious old count!"
Gervis cursed inwardly.
And it was indeed so. For some time now, because Alice had always been protecting Gervis, Old had been secretly hating her in his heart.
I deliberately asked loudly and described what I saw that day just so that Alice could hear it.
Letting this kid have a taste of the bitterness can alleviate the unfair treatment he has suffered in the past few months.
"Ugh! Alice, Adela, why are you looking at me like that!"
Gervis felt uneasy, but he still pretended to be stupid and asked the question even though he knew the answer.
"hiss!"
Alice didn't say anything, but took action directly.
She stretched out her slender arm to Gervis' ribs and then twisted it.
Gervis took a deep breath, wondering how Alice could do this.
Is she also a time traveler? Or does every woman have this move...
Adela also saw Gervis's appearance at this time, and her pretty face suddenly turned redder, and she couldn't help but smile.
"Adela, let's continue talking and ignore him!"
After Alice twisted Gervis, she didn't bother him anymore. Instead, she rolled her eyes at Gervis and turned her head away.
…
While Alice and Adela were chatting, Gervis sat alone in his seat.
He felt very uncomfortable. He was fine when he came here, but now no one paid any attention to him.
In this way, the morning passed by so quickly.
This morning's competitions were carried out in an orderly manner until noon. A total of ten competitions were held in the morning. Among them, six young elves took part. Four of them were defeated and eliminated by their opponents, and only two won.
The human and beastmen each sent up seven people, but there was a tie and four of them won.
Judging from the results of this morning's match, although the elves have had their age limit relaxed, these young elves have not fought in many years and are still lacking in experience compared to humans and orcs.
When Palmer announced the end of the morning competition, Alice became a little depressed and obviously worried.
"Let's go! Let's go have lunch first!"
Gervis knew that Alice was worried, but he already had a plan in mind, so he greeted Alice and the others nonchalantly.
Alice didn't quarrel with Gervis at this time. She nodded and stood up with Adela.
Seeing this, Gervis smiled and stood up immediately.
Just as Gervis stood up, he suddenly felt his body go limp and he fell down without even being able to stand firmly.
"Ah! Be careful!"
"Grevith!"
Fortunately, Alice and Adela, who were standing in front of Gervis, noticed it at the same time and immediately helped him up from the left and right.
After the two women supported Gervis, they asked with anxious concern.
"Grevith, are you okay?"
"Gervis, what's wrong with you?"
The two women asked as they carefully examined Gervis' body, but found nothing abnormal!
"It's okay, I'm just injured and haven't recovered yet. I just fought a big battle and now I'm even weaker!"
Even Gervis himself almost forgot that his injuries had not yet fully recovered, and he had previously taken the kiwi fruit that increased his strength fifty times. Now he had the aftereffects and his body was even weaker than in the morning.
Perhaps his body was a little numb, so he didn't feel anything particularly obvious when he was leaning back in the chair. For a moment he even forgot about himself, but as soon as he stood up he suddenly felt weak.
"Grevith boy, let me help you then!"
At this time, Olde, who had just gathered the elf youths, also walked up to Gervis and said to him.
Olde looked at Gervis with a little suspicion, especially when he saw that Gervis's arms were held by Alice and Adela respectively, he felt extremely unhappy.
His daughter is the elf queen after all, but this boy is not satisfied with just one and is even flirting with other girls.
What’s even more infuriating is that my daughter wasn’t angry at all!
"Father!"
After hearing what Olde said, Alice didn't think much about it and just complained. She was worried that Gervis really had health problems.
…
At this time, Master Weldon, who was not far away, happened to run over here.
Weldon had been planning to come over and continue to get close to Gervis, but when he saw this situation, he ran even faster.
"Teacher! What's wrong with you?"
When Weldon came to Gervis' side, he immediately asked with concern.
"tutor?"
Alice's eyes widened when she heard this title. A man with a white beard actually called Gervis his mentor!
When the battle broke out, there was a lot of shouting and yelling at the scene, so she only saw Kelwin running and talking to Gervis for a few words, but she didn't know what they talked about.
In addition to Alice's surprise, Olde was equally surprised because he didn't even see Kerwin talking to Gervis.
Adela, on the other hand, knew the reason behind this, and at this moment, she just had a strange expression on her face and didn't say anything.
"Hey! Master Weldon, you can just call me Gervis! I'm fine, but I haven't recovered from my last injury yet!"
Gervis did not immediately explain to Alice and Olde, but instead said something to Welton in an awkward manner.
Anyone who meets an old man with a beard running up to you and calling you mentor will feel uncomfortable.
"That's actually the case, Teacher, please wait a moment, I'll check it for you!"
When Weldon heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. Wasn't this the time for him to get closer to Gervis?
After saying this, without waiting for Gervis's consent, Weldon silently closed his eyes, and then used his mental power to guide the wood magic power to begin exploring Gervis's body.
After a while, Welton opened his eyes, but the expression on his face had become more serious.
"Teacher, you need to rest well. You can't fight for at least half a month, otherwise you may get sick!"
"Master Weldon, is it really that serious?"
Adela understood the importance of wizard Welton best, and she immediately held Gervis' arm tighter and asked Welton nervously.
"Yes! Your body has been hurt quite a bit! However, as long as you don't fight for half a month, I will use a powerful healing spell on you, and it won't be a big deal!"
"I will come here every day to help my mentor with his treatment. This should help speed up his recovery!"
"Thank you, Master Weldon!"
"Thank you, Master Weldon!"
When Alice and Adela heard this, they immediately expressed their gratitude to Welton.
But Gervis's attention was not on Welton's words at this time, he was absent-minded for a moment.
Because at the moment Adela held his arm tightly, he felt a soft feeling on his arm.
"Well, this chick! She's really worthy of being called a rich lady!"
Then, Weldon performed an advanced and powerful healing spell on Gervis. Green spots of light appeared around Gervis for a moment before slowly disappearing.
As the green light disappeared, Gervis did feel his body become a little more relaxed.
"Thank you, Master Weldon!"
Only then did Gervis put aside his previous wild thoughts and thanked Welton.
"Teacher, this is what I should do. I will return to the academy first and come back to see you in the afternoon!"
After saying this, Weldon left with Dean Palmer and others without waiting for Gervis to refuse.
"Let's go too!"
Gervis was helpless.
"Grevith boy, this Master Weldon is at least a wizard, why would he call you his mentor?"
Olde already knew Welton's strength from the previous advanced healing technique, so he was very curious and asked Gervis while walking.
Now he found that the boy who kidnapped his daughter was becoming more and more incredible, which was really beyond his expectations.
"Prince Alder, I know that!"
Just when Gervis was about to make a long speech, Adela, who was supporting Gervis on both sides with Alice, spoke first.
Needless to say, Gervis holds a special place in her heart. In the past, due to the need for confidentiality, these things could not be discussed casually.
But now that Gervis's identity has been revealed, she wants to show off her fierce knighthood.
He also noticed that Alice's father seemed to be somewhat hostile to Gervis, and she was also prepared to help Gervis prove his strength and not be looked down upon.
"Prince Olde, do you know about the potion that increases mental strength and the potion that strengthens the body?"
Adela spoke immediately.
"I know this. Alice even went to the Holy Company and bought one... Oh, by the way, Gervis just mentioned that he is some mysterious pharmacist... Could he be the pharmacist who prepared the strengthening potion?"
At this time, Olde finally reacted. He had been concentrating on fighting Dosalon before and vaguely heard something, but because there were many things happening today, he did not react for a while.
When Adela reminded him of this, he remembered it immediately.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
"Grevith is the mysterious pharmacist! Huh? Alice, are you attending the auction?"
Adela looked at Alice in surprise. It was clearly the potion prepared by Gervis, but Alice, as Gervis' wife, actually went to auction the potion.
"Not only did I participate, I also spent 35,500 gold coins to buy one, 30,000 of which were borrowed from the Holy Business!"
Olde was too tired to complain and added helplessly!
"ah!"
When Adela heard this, she was even more surprised!
At the same time, there was a slight joy in my heart.
Because she thought of herself, the potions seemed to be given to her by Gervis, and she didn't have to spend money to bid.
"hiss!"
Just as Adela was secretly delighted, Gervis immediately felt someone attacking his ribs.
He gasped immediately, then looked at Alice innocently.
"It's okay, Alice. It doesn't matter if you take the photo. The gold coins will be mine in the end anyway! I'll return them to you when the time comes!"
Alice, on the other hand, remained silent and sulked in her heart. Adela's secret delight naturally could not be hidden from her, and she immediately thought of the reason, so she twisted Gervis' waist again.
Then Alice gave me an expression that said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"The daughter of Sky City, what happened next? What happened to that Master Weldon?"
When Olde saw his daughter's attack, he felt secretly relieved and continued to question Adela.
"Master Welton is not only a magician, but also a top pharmacist in the Holy Alliance. When the spiritual potion prepared by Gervis appeared, he was very shocked. At that time, no one knew that the pharmacist who prepared this potion was Gervis, so at an auction, Master Welton publicly stated that he wanted to take the person who prepared this potion as his mentor!"
"So Master Weldon knew Gervis's identity today, so he called Gervis his mentor!"
Adela slowly told the whole story of Weldon Bagwith being her mentor!
“There is actually such a thing!”
Even Older, an elven prince who had lived for more than three hundred years, could not help but sigh at the strangeness of this matter.
Of course he knew what the title of the Holy Alliance's top alchemist meant.
Of course, the most incredible thing is that Gervis could actually concoct a potion that even such a master of potions would be amazed.
"Gervis boy, you are really that amazing!"
Only now did Alder have to face up to Gandalf's second son.
At the same time, he remembered what Alice said last time.
"As long as we find Gervis, he will definitely help the elves regain their glory!"
At this moment, Ald felt that this might not be impossible.
"Haha, Prince Alder, this is nothing! It was just configured by chance!"
Although Gervis was very humble in his words, he actually thought Adela was a great girl.
It greatly helped him to save face in front of his cheap wife and also effectively discouraged Olde.
"That's nothing. One bottle of your potion costs more than 35,000 gold coins!"
Alder knew that Gervis was being modest, so he responded with a hint of bitterness.
"Prince Olde, Gervis auctioned off a potion last month and earned more than 200,000 gold coins!"
"The gold coins from yesterday's auction haven't been settled yet, but it will be at least no less than 300,000 gold coins!"
Adela continued to elevate Gervis' status.
"hiss!"
Olde gasped. With such a fast money-making speed, he actually earned the entire fortune of the Jones family in just two months!
"Haha! Forget about that! Forget about that! Let's go to Leng Jade Manor for lunch first!"
Gervis heard the sound of Olde's inhalation and was secretly pleased, so he immediately spoke modestly.
