Chapter 727 Talent!
As Gervis stepped into the inner castle gate, all kinds of familiar memories of this golden castle came to his mind.
The furnishings in the castle were not moved when Alice and others left, and there were servants cleaning the castle every day, so when Gervis entered the inner castle, it was spotless everywhere, no different from when he left.
Afterwards, Gervis asked Ike and others to wait downstairs, while he went to the third floor alone.
After arriving on the third floor, Gervis first went to his bedroom to take a look. Although the bed was still there, the bedding and other items had been taken away.
So he didn't stay any longer and went straight to the study.
When Gervis came to the study, the bookshelves in the study were now empty, with only a few jade boxes placed on the shelves, which were the jade boxes containing Gervis elf worms.
The reason why the elves are placed here is because it is safe here. There are four guards on duty at the gate of the inner castle at all times.
Of course, the elf bugs are taken care of on weekdays, and it is still Anna, the personal maid, who takes care of them personally.
When not traveling to the City of Hope, Anna would spend two hours every day at the castle playing with the little ones.
After Anna followed Alice to the City of Hope, Caroline was responsible for taking care of the elf bugs.
After entering the study, Gervis quickly walked up to a few jade boxes. To be honest, he missed these lively little guys a lot.
Then, Gervis moved all the jade boxes to the desk and opened them one by one.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
"Cassie! Cassie!"
"Rafi, Rafi!"
The moment Gervis opened a few jade boxes, the originally quiet study immediately became noisy. The little guys had already sensed the arrival of their master through the contract with Gervis.
They all stared at Gervis with their round eyes wide open, their eyes full of pity, and they obviously felt very aggrieved that their master had not come to see them for such a long time.
"Betty, Eve, Wall-E, Kara, Purple One, Purple Two, Purple Three! Hello, little ones!"
After opening all the jade boxes, Gervis stretched out his fingers and stroked these little guys one by one. It took him a while to finally pacify the aggrieved little guys.
Purple One, Purple Two, and Purple Three were the purple elf bugs that Gervis had won in a bet with Boris. Since he got three of them at once, Gervis simply gave them serial numbers.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
Several little guys felt Gervis's closeness to them, and they all put their little heads on Gervis's fingers and squeaked affectionately.
"Cassie! Cassie!"
"Rafi, Rafi!"
Just when the little guys in the jade box were being comforted, Gervis heard aggrieved cry in his ears. It was from Gervis Gervis's two elves, Cassie and Raffi.
Cassie is the green elf, and the magic grapes were created because of Cassie's transformation.
Rafi is the purple elf, which he won from Boris in the bet.
The moment the jade box was opened, the two little guys flew into the air and circled around Gervis. Gervis pretended to ignore the two little guys. Now the two little guys were of course feeling very aggrieved.
"Oh, I forgot about Cassie and Laffey! Come here! Let the master see if you have become prettier!"
Gervis immediately pretended to react, took back his hand from the jade box, and stretched out his hand to tease the two little elves beside him who were as delicate as Barbie dolls! "Cassie, Cassie, squeak!"
"Lafite, Lafite, squeak!"
The two little guys finally received Gervis' attention and became lively again. Then they knelt in Gervis's palms and enjoyed his interaction.
After playing with the little ones in the study for a while, Gervis put them all back into the jade boxes. He then called Ike and others to take the jade boxes with them before leaving the castle.
When Gervis walked out of the castle gate and looked down at the entire coastal town, the coastal town was no longer the same as before and had completely changed its appearance.
First of all, in terms of scale, Binhai Town at this time has truly become a big town. The houses in the town are neatly arranged, and the streets crisscross and extend far into the distance.
And those dilapidated shacks are no longer seen, all are brand new stone houses built with bluestone.
In addition, standing at the gate of the castle, Gervis could see that the streets of the town were already crowded with people, which was completely different from the seaside town with only a few cats and dogs in the past.
Of course, such changes are actually easy to understand.
In addition to the factors that Gervis had originally planned, this was also due to the emergence of the Holy Continent.
After learning about the existence of the Holy Continent and that Storm Territory also had a teleportation array connecting to the Holy Continent, nobles from across Eurasia flocked into this originally remote barony.
Even if they don't come in person, they will rent a property here as a base to facilitate learning about the developments of the Holy Continent.
Because now the Holy Continent is what these nobles care about most, and it is also the existence that can directly affect the future direction of the Eurasian continent.
Apart from anything else, just hearing that Stormwind City was about to begin construction, the nobles were extremely enthusiastic. Not only did they actively donate gold coins, but they also contributed food and materials.
And they did this just to seek an opportunity to settle in Stormwind City.
After standing for a moment at the castle gate, Gervis retracted his gaze, then directly summoned the Nightmare, preparing to ride the Nightmare to the coastal town.
But when Gervis summoned the nightmare horse, Ik and others in the back were shocked because they had never seen undead magic before.
They were all horrified to see that Gervis had not only transformed into a warhorse, but also a skeleton warhorse with red light in its eyes.
"Your Majesty! You... this is..."
"This is my mount called Nightmare. Don't make a fuss. This is undead magic. You will know it later!"
Gervis was so used to it that he forgot that Ik and the others knew nothing about necromancy and had never seen him summon nightmares. He immediately started to explain.
In fact, after Gervis came back, he missed the unicorn quite a bit and wanted to ride it. However, ever since he disappeared, the unicorn had been following Alice to the elf palace.
Therefore, Gervis's only mount now is Nightmare.
Of course, except for its speed which is not as fast as the Unicorn, Nightmare is excellent in all other aspects.
For example, its combat power is strong, and as long as the soul fire in its head is not destroyed, there is no need to worry about its death.
Another advantage is that Nightmare is always available and there is no need to find a place to store it when not in use. These are all advantages.
"Necromancy!"
After hearing what Gervis said, although Ike did not understand, he knew that anything related to magic must be a high-end existence. He could only blush and lower his head, ashamed of his ignorance.
"Let's go! Let's go to Seaside Town!"
Gervis stopped talking to Ike and the others, and immediately turned over and got on the horse's back. Then Nightmare started galloping down the gentle slope.
When Ike and his companions saw this, they hurried back to the castle, borrowed eleven war horses and chased after them.
When Gervis rode Nightmare to Binhai Town, passers-by on the roadside all looked sideways and avoided him.
Because they also noticed something strange about the horse under Gervis.
"Oh my god, what is that! It's a skeleton warhorse! This... How is this possible!?"
"It really is a skeleton horse! How could such a thing exist in this world!"
"He...he...he's a lord! He's the Baron...his Majesty the King!"
"Our King is back!"
"It's really His Majesty the King!"
When Gervis rode on Nightmare and stopped in front of Brian's stone house, a serf from Storm Territory finally recognized Gervis' appearance!
"Greetings, His Majesty!"
"Greetings, His Majesty!"
Following the serf's shout, people immediately knelt down on the main street of Binhai Town, and the townspeople bowed their heads and greeted Gervis! "Get up!"
When Gervis saw that he was recognized, he didn't care and waved his hand for them to stand up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After getting Gervis's permission, the townspeople, who were still in shock and excitement, stood up to express their gratitude, and then carefully peeked at Gervis and the Nightmare he was riding on from the side of the street.
However, because of Gervis's identity, no one dared to point fingers or talk loudly.
Gervis didn't stop at the door and walked directly into Brian's cabin.
However, as soon as Gervis walked into the cabin, he saw Brian coming out of the inner room in a hurry.
"Grevith man...! Oh no, villain Brian, meet His Majesty the King!"
When Brian saw the familiar figure of Gervis, he was a little bit unbelievable.
Gervais had been missing for half a year, and Brian was looking forward to his return.
He had heard a loud noise outside the house, as if someone was calling for His Majesty the King, and he thought he had misheard.
When I saw Gervis at this time, I finally confirmed that it was really Gervis who came back.
Brian was endlessly grateful to this kind lord who pulled him out of his difficult and difficult life.
"Wake up, Brian!"
"You are a lord after all! You don't have to kneel like a commoner. Besides, the commander-in-chief of the former King Lawrence has died in battle. He won't cause trouble for you again!"
Gervis took two steps forward, grabbed Brian's shoulders and pulled him up.
Seal inscriptions are actually a variation of magician runes, and in the Holy Continent, rune engravings are all done by magicians.
Although Gervis didn't know what runes had gone through in Eurasia and how they eventually became enhanced inscriptions and were made by titled knights, Gervis was sure that both inscriptions and runes were actually the same system.
After more than two hundred years of development, the runes of the Holy Continent have made some progress, but the difference is not big. They have only become richer and more powerful in strengthening weapons and equipment.
In addition, after comparing in the City of Hope, Gervis discovered that the sacred runes were still not as small as the runes improved by Brian.
Therefore, Brian's unique enhanced rune can not only dominate the Eurasian continent, but also dominate the Holy Continent.
It is precisely because of this that Gervis came to Brian in person this time. He is a truly rare talent!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Brian was deeply moved when Gervis personally helped him up. He immediately bowed to Gervis again and expressed his gratitude.
"Alright! Brian, I heard that you have accepted some apprentices to teach them your strengthening runes?"
Gervis patted Brian on the shoulder, then walked over to the square table outside and sat down.
"Yes, sire!"
"I heard that the beastmen and humans in the Holy Continent are very powerful, so I thought that maybe after Stormwind City is built, you might need to use my strengthening runes."
Brian saw Gervis sitting at his square table and followed him forward two steps.
But now he didn't dare to be on an equal footing with Gervis, so he just stood aside and answered carefully.
"Brian, you're great!"
Hearing this answer, Gervis nodded with satisfaction.
"I really need your rune, but not after Stormwind City is built. I need it now!"
"Let's go! Brian, pack your things. From now on, you will live with me in the Holy Continent!"
Talents like Brian should naturally be kept by one's side, so that it will be convenient to find him when something happens, without having to go through the teleportation array.
"Your Majesty, then...what about my apprentices?"
When Brian heard what Gervis said, he naturally would not refuse, but he pointed in the direction of the backyard and asked Gervis a question.
"What else can we do? Take them all away! Although Stormwind City has just begun construction, there is no shortage of places to live!"
Gervis waved his hand and naturally packed up everything and took it away. In the future, he would not just ask Brian to strengthen one or two things, but a complete set of equipment.
Therefore, it is natural to train more apprentices like Bernard so that there will be enough manpower to strengthen equipment and weapons.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please wait a moment, I will clean it up right away!"
Brian did not dare to delay and apologized to Gervis, then quickly went to the back room.
About half an hour later, Brian had packed up everything, so Gervis waved his hand and led Brian and several of his apprentices directly towards the castle.
Thanks to "Lonely, Stranded Time, Flowing", "Little Virgin", "Old Bookworm 1980" for the rewards!!!
