Chapter 789 Arrival at the City of Hope
"Here you go, Lord Johnson!"
The dwarf blacksmith handed the cup to Johnson, who took it and handed it to Gervis.
Gervis understood what Johnson meant, and immediately picked up the cup and took a sip.
"How about it, Gervis, do you understand now?"
Johnson looked at Gervais with a smile.
Gervis took a sip and nodded.
"This wine is stronger!"
Gervis finally understood why Johnson felt that wine had no effect on dwarves.
Because the alcohol content of the wine the dwarves drink is much higher than that of red wine, it tastes stronger when it enters the mouth.
"Yes! This is the main reason why the dwarves are unwilling to leave the Fiery Volcano Hill! Because only the dwarves themselves can brew such strong liquor! And only the dwarves who specialize in brewing in their tribe can brew the strongest liquor."
"The reason why the dwarves like to stay in the holy cities is because the holy cities have convenient transportation and many caravans. When their fire wine is almost finished, they can contact the caravans to bring back the fire wine when they return from the Fire Hills."
Johnson said, smiling and nodding.
"I see! But if that's the case, then it's easy to deal with!"
Gervais looked at Johnson and laughed too.
Isn't it just strong liquor?
The dwarves' so-called fire wine is indeed much stronger than red wine, but compared with the white wine in the previous life, it is simply child's play.
Gervis dared to guarantee that if he could make the white wine, the dwarves would be in ecstasy.
"Grevith, what do you mean it's easy now? Did you notice anything?"
Johnson was somewhat puzzled to see that Gervis was not disappointed at all and even had a look of triumph on his face.
"Haha! I do have an idea, but it's not certain right now. I'll tell you later!"
Gervis naturally wouldn't say it now. In fact, he thinks he is a very low-key person...
Johnson didn't ask any further questions when he saw that Gervis was being mysterious, but he was not very optimistic about Gervis' idea.
It’s not like the Holy City had ever thought of this before, wanting to attract more dwarves to work for them, but the problem was that no one could brew a drink stronger than firewine.
After finishing the discussion at the blacksmith shop, Gervis and Johnson did not stay any longer and returned directly to the temple! ...
The next morning, after saying goodbye to Johnson, Gervis headed to the Holy Alliance from the Divine Falling Passage in Saint Di City.
The holy city where Johnson lives is called the Holy City of Parsis, named after its proximity to the Parsis Forest.
However, as a large city ranked in the upper-middle range of the Holy Alliance, the Holy City of Parsons is naturally extremely prosperous. When Thomas and a group of his direct guards followed Gervis out of the God's Falling Passage, they were stunned by the tall and exquisite buildings around them.
The pedestrians around also looked at Gervis's huge mount in surprise.
Fortunately, Johnson had already instructed the city guards to clear the way for Gervis, so they had a smooth journey out of the outer city of Patison.
Gervis' final destination this time is the City of Hope. Because the Holy Alliance's territory is too vast, it is impossible for Gervis to send wine to various holy cities for sale.
The headquarters of the Holy Alliance has been established in the City of Hope. All Gervis needs to do is let the representatives of various companies stationed in the City of Hope know, and the news about the wine will spread.
This will not only save Gerves time in selling wine, but will also greatly enhance the wine's reputation and expand its influence.
…
The Holy City of Parsisen is not far from the City of Hope. After more than a week of rapid travel, Gervis finally returned to this prosperous city where he had stayed for several months.
As soon as they entered the city, Gervis led the caravan to Weldon's manor in the inner city.
Although Weldon had resigned from the title of elder of the Alliance Academy, because of his identity as a magician and a master of potions, the Alliance Academy still left the manor to him, but took back his original right to dividends.
Because the manor is taken care of regularly on weekdays, Gervis and others can move in directly on the day they arrive.
The arrival of Gervis this time was like a drop of water into the ocean for the City of Hope. Except for the giant crocodile that attracted some attention on the road, other people did not know that the famous god of death had arrived.
However, this calm was only temporary. Gervis believed that as long as he revealed two pieces of information, the City of Hope would definitely be in turmoil.
"Thomas, take the Lava Lizard Squadron to distribute the gifts to me now! Start with the Alliance Academy, then the Sky City, and the other holy cities can be distributed in any order!"
Gervis sat on the sofa in the lobby of the small building and gave instructions to Thomas.
"Yes, Your Majesty! I will do it now!"
Thomas immediately took the order and then quickly led the Warcraft Squadron out of the manor.
Although Thomas had never been to the City of Hope, he didn't need Gervis to teach him small things like finding his way.
He only spent one gold coin to hire a civilian from the City of Hope, and then began to wander around the inner city of the City of Hope under his leadership.
As Thomas gave out the exquisite little gifts he had prepared long ago one by one, the entire City of Hope finally became excited.
From time to time, one can see flying monsters from various bases fluttering into the sky, and then rapidly flying toward the outside of the City of Hope.
The small gift that Gervis sent was naturally wine, and wine was nothing new to these resident representatives.
They didn't know how much money they spent on wine tasting at the Cold Emerald Estate.
If it weren't for the fact that the Holy Trading Company could no longer go to the Holy Forest and the wine was completely out of stock, these representatives from the Holy City would still go to the Leng Jade Manor every day.
The bottle of wine sent by Gervis was like someone sending fresh water in the desert to the representatives of the holy city, and they instantly became refreshed.
In addition to wine, Thomas also stated when he came to the door that Gervis also brought a magic potion this time.
Moreover, for the sake of the human race, Gervis would not make a single cent and would sell the potion at cost price of 10,000 gold coins per bottle.
For these representatives from the holy city, the latter piece of news was even more explosive than the first one, and it immediately shocked all of them.
What's the point of considering the human race? These representatives from the holy city are all old foxes and naturally don't believe it for the time being.
However, they had confirmed from Thomas that the price of a magic potion was 10,000 gold coins, which was something they could actually verify.
So representatives from the holy city hurriedly began to send messengers back to inform the city lord of this great news.
In the past, many holy cities were reluctant to spend thirty or forty thousand gold coins per potion. Moreover, at that time, magical potions were sold at auctions, so even if you wanted to buy them, you couldn't.
But now the price has become two-thirds cheaper. With the money that used to cost less than two potions, one can train five strong men. It is said that the number of potions is also extremely sufficient, which can at least ensure that every force in the Holy City can purchase five potions.
…
When some people are happy, others are unhappy! The most unhappy ones are the Golden Shield family.
Because the Golden Shield Family has a great feud with Gervis, Gervis will naturally not sell the magic potion to them.
At this time, the representative of the Golden Shield Family’s base saw the Warcraft messengers flying rapidly in the sky to deliver messages, his face turned dark, but he could do nothing.
He had also sent a messenger to inform Batman, but it might not be of any use. The God of Death was no longer the same as before. In the past, only Edward protected him, and other holy cities were more or less hostile or jealous of him.
But now, this God of Killing has become a favorite of every family. If anyone tries to cause trouble for the God of Killing at this time, he will probably be attacked by everyone.
In addition to the Golden Shield Family being unhappy, the Knights and the Holy Trading Company were also unhappy because Gervis' wine and potions were sold without going through them.
Crash!
"Bastard, that shameless bastard! How could he do this? He had promised to give the wine and potions to our Holy Company for sale!"
In the headquarters manor of the Sacred Trading Company, Miss Lolita was furious in the study. When her temper reached its peak, she threw an account book at her second brother.
"Lolita, you can't really blame them. We were the ones who temporarily cancelled the caravan to the Sacred Forest because the orcs wouldn't let us pass! They're selling the goods themselves now, so it doesn't count as going against our Sacred Trading Company!"
"And regarding the caravan trade, we didn't sign any terms with the other party. Actually..."
Bang! Seeing his sister getting mad, Vaodin tried to persuade her, but before he could finish his words, he was hit on the head by a huge book.
"Ouch... Lolita, why did you hit me? I was just telling the truth... Okay, okay, I won't say it! I won't say it!"
Vaodin rubbed his head and expressed his dissatisfaction to Lolita, but when he saw Lolita pick up another book and pretend to smash it, he quickly waved his hand and shut his mouth! "Humph! That shameless bastard! There is a reason for suspending the caravan! The Death Swamp is too dangerous. If we send a caravan there, at least dozens of people will be lost!"
"Originally, I had already sent people to inquire about which city they were in within the Land of God's Fall, but I didn't expect that he would actually bring it to the City of Hope to sell it himself!"
Seeing that Vaodin was no longer helping the shameless man to explain, Lolita put down the book in her hand.
In fact, what Vaodin didn't know was that the reason why Lolita was so angry was because she felt that she had been fooled by that shameless bastard.
It was a pity that I was worrying all day in the City of Hope about whether to kill him or not to resolve the priest's prophecy. Now this guy is selling the wine and potion himself. He is so ungrateful.
Of course, Lolita had long overlooked the most important point, which was that Gervis had no idea that there was this price to pay after seeing her face.
In Gervis's memory, this girl from the Sacred Trading Company was very annoying and always caused trouble for him.
"No! I'm going to argue with him now!"
Lolita became more and more angry the more she thought about it, and then she quickly walked towards the study door.
Bang! Then Lolita walked out of the room and slammed the door shut.
"Hey! Little sister, wait for me..."
…
At this time, Gervis didn't know that Miss Lolita was going to cause trouble for him, but was just welcoming and seeing off waves of visiting guests.
After Gervis asked Thomas to deliver the small gift, the dean of the high school, the representative of Sky City in the City of Hope, and the representatives of the allied Holy City came to express their greetings and even invited Gervis to have dinner at Leng Feicui Manor in the evening, but they were all politely rejected by Gervis.
Gervis was not a person who liked lively occasions, and he was not familiar with these representatives, so refusing was the best option.
Otherwise, if representatives from more than a dozen allies invite him to dinner, he will have no time to spare during this trip.
After seeing off the last representative from the Holy City, Gervis came to the living room in the small building.
At this time, there were two familiar guests in the living room. They were his former friends, Laci and Zenia.
After the two heard the news about Gervis, they didn't wait for Gervis to find them, but came to him on their own initiative.
"Gervis, you're a big shot now!"
When Lackey saw Gervis walk into the living room, he and Zenia immediately stood up to greet him, chatting and laughing at the same time.
"Haha! Second Young Master Lachi, I'm not a big shot at all!"
Gervis immediately retorted with a smile, then turned on his perception and took a look at Laci and Zenia.
"Not bad! Laqi, you are already a mid-level gold knight, and Zenia is also a junior magician!"
"I have to thank you for this! Gervis! Thank you for the potion!"
"Yes, Gervase, thank you for the potion, I'm so lucky to be your friend!"
Gervis and Zenia thanked Gervis solemnly.
"Okay, no need to thank me! Just work hard on your training, and we'll go on adventures together again when we have the chance!"
Seeing the two people's happy expressions, Gervis waved his hand and said half-jokingly.
For him, this was just a piece of cake. Each of his subordinates drank several bottles of potion.
"Yeah! Then call Adela and we'll go on adventures together!"
Zenia had a carefree personality and she immediately agreed seriously.
"By the way, how is Adela's training going now?"
Gervis smiled and didn't say much, but when he thought of Adela, he immediately asked a question.
At this time, Adela was not in the City of Hope, but returned to the Sky City, because the Alliance Higher Academy was preparing to allow formal magicians and golden knights to enter the Land of God's Fall for training.
Edward was worried about Adela's safety, so he called her back and prepared to take Adela to train in their area personally.
Gervis knew this news before he was about to leave. It was Adela who personally asked Edward to deliver it, asking Gervis when he would go to the Sky Castle for a visit. Otherwise, considering Edward's defensive attitude, he would definitely not take the initiative to invite him to visit Adela.
After completing his trip to the City of Hope, Gervis' next stop was to visit Adela in the Sky City, and then return to the Land of the Fallen Gods.
"Adela, her light magic has already broken through to the intermediate level! I heard that her undead magic will be reaching the same level soon."
"Your Majesty, there is someone outside who claims to be the eldest daughter of the Holy Trading Company and wants to see you..."
Just as Zenia finished her answer, Thomas came to the door of the living room and reported to Gervis respectfully.
"Lolita?"
Gervis immediately looked at Thomas and replied after a moment.
"Take her to another hall and wait for a while. I'll be there soon!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
