Chapter 698 How to win the competition!
Gervis didn't know that Lolita's second brother compared him to a pervert, and he wanted to use Lolita as bait to kidnap himself.
After having a delicious meal with Alice and others, Gervis paid more than 25,000 gold coins and prepared to leave Leng Feicui Manor.
At first, Olde didn't feel anything when he was eating, but when he saw Gervis took out three big treasure chests without frowning and paid the gold coins to Leng Feicui Manor, he really looked up to Gervis.
After all, this was just the money for a lunch. With so many gold coins, it would be more than enough to hold a grand dinner.
Even Olde was like this, so Nadine and the other Rose Knights and the elves were naturally even more shocked.
After enjoying the unprecedented delicacy and seeing the amount of gold coins spent, everyone looked at Gervis with no other thoughts except the desire to worship him.
If this happened in Eurasia, it would be a viscount's lifelong wealth, but it was bought with just one lunch today!
"Come on, take me to your manor now!"
After having a good meal and a drink, we naturally need to go and see where Alice lives.
…
Afterwards, more than 500 people left Leng Feicui Manor and headed towards the small manor on the edge of the inner city.
More than half an hour later, when the team arrived at the gate of the small manor, Gervis got off the carriage with the help of Alice and Adela.
When Gervis got off the carriage and looked around, he found that the scene here was different from that near the college.
Although this place also belongs to the inner city, it is already on the edge of the inner city and cannot be compared with the core location of the Sacred Trading Company and Leng Feicui Manor.
We can also tell something from the clothes and travel patterns of the pedestrians nearby.
Although there are quite a few carriages on the streets nearby, they are all ordinary carriages. You should know that the carriages on the streets near the academy, whether they are the city lord's travel or the representatives stationed in the City of Hope, are all luxurious carriages, and many of them have magic inscriptions.
Compared with here, it's like the comparison between Mercedes-Benz and Rolls-Royce.
However, Alice's carriage is a top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce, but she lives in a place full of Mercedes-Benz and BMWs, which is extremely eye-catching.
"Nadine, pack up the things in the manor, and we'll move to another place!"
Gervis was not planning to go into the manor to take a look at it at the moment, because the size of the manor could be seen clearly from the outside, and it was not much different from those medium-sized leisure villas in his previous life.
In the previous life, it would be nice for someone to own such a manor, but this is a different world.
Both Leng Feicui Manor and Sky City Residence cover an area of more than ten acres, and it takes half an hour to walk around them.
Alice is the queen after all, so living here is bound to cause gossip among people.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
When Nadine heard Gervis's order, she responded without hesitation and headed towards the manor with many guards.
Alice didn't try to stop him this time, because she knew it was useless to try to stop him.
Anyway, now that Gervis has returned, she might as well just listen. After all, Gervis has always been a miracle worker and she doesn't need to worry about the expenses.
Alice and the others didn't actually bring much this time, so after a while, Nadine and the others pulled five or six ordinary cargo carriages out of the gate of the small manor.
"Let's go back the same way!"
Gervis had also stayed in the City of Hope for several months and knew that some manors in the City of Hope were specifically for rent. There were also several in the core area of the City of Hope. He immediately led everyone and headed straight there.
About ten minutes later, when the team passed a magic shop, Gervis suddenly called in the little maid Anna who was sitting outside the carriage.
Then Gervis whispered a few words to Anna and handed her a purse.
The maid Anna took the purse with a blushing face, responded, then quickly got off the carriage and walked towards the roadside.
As for why Anna blushed, it was not because of what Gervis said frivolously.
But when Gervis spoke and exhaled, the hot air all hit the earlobes of the little maid Anna, and it was under the gaze of Alice and Adela, so Anna had such a reaction.
"Grevith, what did you ask Anna to do?"
Alice didn't have any thoughts about the fact that Gervis and Anna were so close. After all, this little maid used to be Gervis' personal maid.
She was just curious about what Gervis had to say that she couldn't let her know.
Adela, who was standing by, was also looking at Gervis with some curiosity with her beautiful dark eyes.
"Hehe, nothing, I asked Anna to buy some things!"
This time, Gervis had no intention of telling Alice and Anna, and simply evaded the question.
When Alice and Adela heard this, they didn't ask any further questions.
"parking!"
After continuing to move forward for five or six minutes, the carriage finally stopped at Gervis's shout.
At this time, their team was in front of the gate of a large manor.
Although the gate of this manor is closed, from its magnificent appearance one can tell that this manor is of the same level as those large manors of the Sacred Trading Company.
"Nadine, go knock on the door!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Nadine responded and quickly went to knock on the door of the manor, and at this time Gervis and others also got off the carriage.
"Everyone, do you want to rent this manor?"
These vacant manors for rent are actually the properties of the Alliance Higher College, so the manor guards on duty were not surprised when they saw Gervis and his group standing outside the gate.
"Yes, I'm Gervis! Now open the door and go notify the people in the academy!"
Gervis walked closer and spoke.
"Okay, Mr. Gervis, wait a moment!"
Upon hearing that Gervis and others really wanted to rent this large manor, the guard did not dare to delay and immediately opened the door.
"Sir Gervis, I will go and notify the people from the academy now. You can go in and wait first!"
The guard had already seen that there were elves in Gervis's team, so he was not worried about any problems and let Gervis and others go in first.
"Well, go ahead!"
Gervis nodded, and then the group drove directly into the manor.
Although this manor is rented out, the layout inside is in no way inferior to those in the holy city. Gervis was very satisfied when he saw the layout inside.
…
After a while, everyone finally arrived in front of a magnificent building inside the manor. After getting off the carriage, Gervis looked around for a moment before asking Alice.
"Is Alice satisfied? If so, we can live here?"
"Um!"
After all, Alice was born into a family of earls, and the environment she had been in before was top-notch.
It is natural to be able to live in such a manor at this time. After all, no one would be willing to lower their quality of life if conditions permit.
After receiving Alice's satisfactory answer, Gervis felt happy and immediately decided not to change places.
…
"Commander Nadine, can we live in this manor from now on?"
"That's for sure. Your Majesty brought us in here just to live here!"
"It's so happy to follow His Majesty!"
The carriage carrying Gervis and Alice Adela was now at the front.
Nadine and the others followed not far behind. When they saw that the appearance and decoration of this manor was in no way inferior to the previous luxurious manor, they immediately started whispering.
In the past few days, most of them lived in the courtyards in the outer city. Although there were more than 50 people living in one courtyard, it still seemed a little crowded.
Seeing this picturesque manor at this time, I am naturally filled with joy.
…
Half an hour later, inside this magnificent building.
"Teacher, I didn't expect you to live in this manor! I am so honored!"
Gervais and Welton sat opposite each other, and Welton's face was full of smiles.
"Haha, I didn't expect that this manor is actually the property of Master Weldon!"
Gervis didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. It turned out that this manor was given to Welton by the college after he became an elder of the college. It was considered Welton's private property.
However, Welton was obsessed with magic and had never married. He lived in the tutor's dormitory area of the academy all day to facilitate his research on magic and potions, so the manor was idle and he simply entrusted it to the academy for rent.
When he heard that a man named Gervis wanted to rent the manor and there were elves in the team, Welton immediately knew it was Gervis and rushed over in a hurry.
"Master Weldon, how much is the rent of this manor per month!"
After exchanging pleasantries with Weldon for a moment, Gervis began to ask directly.
"Teacher, what are you talking about? It's my honor to have you live here. How can I charge you for it?"
Of course, Weldon couldn't accept Gervis's rent. He really wanted to be Gervis's mentor, but it was too late to curry favor with Gervis now.
"Master Weldon, to be honest, I really have nothing to teach you!"
Gervis had a headache. He had actually anticipated this result the first time he saw Weldon coming.
He could make friends with Welton, but he really didn't think of accepting such an old master who was famous in the Holy Alliance as his apprentice.
Moreover, the reason why he concocted those magical potions was entirely because of the kiwi fruit, and they could not be passed on to others.
"Teacher, whether you teach me or not, I will follow you voluntarily! I have already mentioned this to Dean Palmer today!"
However, Weldon seemed not to have heard what Gervis said and still insisted!
After saying that, seeing that Gervis was about to continue speaking, Welton said!
"Teacher, I will definitely not charge you for this manor today. I will go back to the academy first! You can stay here with peace of mind! No matter how long you want!"
Having said that, Weldon actually stood up and quickly left the hall.
But Gervis was unable to stop the attack because of his mobility problems!
“What a headache!”
"But once I get the channel quota, I will definitely leave, so I can make it up to you then!"
After Weldon left, Gervis shook his head helplessly and did not continue to call Weldon. He thought that he would leave a potion for him when he left, as a way of repaying the favor.
…
Boom boom boom!
After Weldon left, the door of the hall was knocked again. Gervis looked up and saw the little maid Anna standing at the door.
"His Majesty!"
The little maid Anna quickly bowed and greeted Gervis!
"Anna, come in!"
After getting permission, the maid Anna quickly came to Gervis and handed a wooden box to Gervis.
"Your Majesty, this is what you just asked me to buy!"
Because she hadn't had contact with Gervis for a long time, and because Gervis had now become the king, the maid Anna became much more reserved and felt uneasy.
"Anna, you are still my personal maid, there is no need to be so restrained!"
When Gervis saw Anna's expression, he immediately understood what was in Anna's mind, but he spoke to her softly.
This little maid had been serving and helping him when he was penniless, so Gervis naturally would not treat her as an outsider.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Anna's face immediately turned red, and she was obviously a little excited when she heard Gervis' words.
She was indeed worried that Gervis's surroundings had changed and he might no longer like her as his personal maid.
"Well, Anna, go find Alice and the others first! I have something to do right now. Oh, and help me close the door!"
When Gervis saw Anna's reaction, his thoughts were confirmed. He smiled slightly, holding the wooden box in his hand, and gave another instruction to Anna, the little maid.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The maid Anna seemed to realize that her little thoughts were seen through by Gervis. She responded in an inaudible way, then ran out of the hall as if escaping, and then closed the door of the hall quietly.
After the maid Anna left, Gervis opened the wooden box in his hand. Inside the box were more than ten bottles of fighting spirit recovery potions, all of which were of the lowest quality.
Gervis had previously instructed Anna to buy these medicines.
Judging from the situation in the morning, the elves had six people but only defeated two. It would definitely be difficult for them to win in the afternoon.
Gervis had already promised the city lords that he would not take part, so he needed to find another way to help the elves win the competition.
In fact, the solution is very simple, which is to add black kiwi fruit into the potion, which can increase the strength by fifty times.
So he didn't tell Alice and Adela about this, and Gervis also told Anna not to tell anyone that he had asked her to buy medicine.
Because with Alice and Adela's intelligence, they will inevitably associate the purchased potions together.
It wasn't that Gervis was wary of Alice and Adela, but he was worried that they might guess something, which would lead to restrictions in the system, which would be bad.
In such cases, it is best to let everyone think that it is you who made the magic potion based on the recipe.
…
Gervis took out potions one by one from the wooden box and placed them on the long table beside him.
In fact, Gervis was still a little worried. If the black kiwi fruit had no effect, then this afternoon's competition would be in trouble.
However, whether this black kiwi fruit can be used with the medicine is actually very easy to verify. You can tell by just looking at the color of the medicine.
Gervis didn't delay any longer and directly took out one of the only two remaining fifty-fold enhancement fruits from the system mall.
Then he used a short blade to cut off a thumb-sized piece from the black kiwi fruit and put it into the slightly turbid low-level fighting spirit recovery potion.
After finishing everything, Gervis stared at the potion in his hand and waited.
"Haha! It works! This time the competition is a sure thing!"
After adding the black kiwi pulp, the originally turbid golden potion slowly became clear in just a few moments.
In the end it turned into a beautiful transparent dark gold color!
From then on, Gervis finally knew that black kiwifruit could be effective when added to potions.
However, it is still unknown how effective this potion is, and it should be greatly weakened.
But Gervis didn't need the potion to achieve a fifty-fold effect. Even if it only increased it by two or three times, it would be enough for the elves to win today's competition.
Immediately, Gervis continued to add the pulp of the black kiwi fruit to the remaining fighting spirit recovery potion.
