Chapter 809 Comforting Caroline
Gervis didn't know that after he left, the dwarf blacksmith he had been thinking about had already arrived at the Holy Bridge Castle.
He was moving forward quickly with a group of newly recruited sea creatures.
Because there were no carriages or supplies to encumber them, even though there were thousands of people in the group, their travel speed was not slow at all.
Two days later, outside the city of St. Ann, Caroline was waiting here early with Gandalf, Guster and others.
Half an hour ago, the Swift Dragon Bird sent back a message saying that Gervis would be arriving soon.
This time Gervis was away for more than half a month, and Caroline really missed him a little.
For this purpose, Caroline dressed up carefully today, and the purple corseted long dress fully highlighted her proud figure.
In addition, with the extra care taken by Gervis, she has long since gotten rid of her youthfulness and now exudes infinite femininity.
The careful dressing and looming femininity directly pushed Caroline's beauty to the peak.
“Here it comes! Here it comes!”
"Grevith is here!"
At this moment, a large team finally appeared at the corner of the road in front of St. Ann City.
In the front was a gigantic lizard-like beast, which was none other than Gervis's giant crocodile brother.
Immediately, Gandalf and the others spoke up.
Caroline was delighted to hear that, with a sweet smile on her face, and her hands were clenched in front of her chest because of excitement.
But as she looked at it, Caroline frowned slightly.
"It seems that Gervis didn't bring a maid to serve this time? Why did he bring back a maid?"
With such doubts, Caroline took two steps forward and stood in the same row with Gandalf and Ghost.
As Gervis and his group got closer, Caroline finally saw the woman's appearance clearly.
"So pretty! She's definitely not a maid in that attire!"
Caroline's heart suddenly tightened.
…
"Welcome to His Majesty the King!"
"Grevith, you're finally back!"
"Haha! Father, Count Gust! Why are you here to greet me? There's no need to be so grand!"
When Gervis came to about 20 or 30 meters away from Gust and others, he stopped the team.
And Gust, Gandalf and others immediately greeted him respectfully.
Gervis greeted them with a smile on his face, and then jumped off the giant crocodile.
"Grevith!"
"His Majesty!"
Seeing Gervis coming to the ground, Caroline, with her maid Anna, immediately went to greet him with a silver basin and a towel.
Caroline first greeted Gervis sweetly, and then looked at Lolita who jumped to the ground following Gervis.
As for the maid Anna, she didn't think too much about it, but immediately handed the towel to Gervis.
"Caroline, thank you for your hard work during this period!"
When Gervis saw how Caroline was dressed, he knew that she was very thoughtful. However, at this time, Caroline's eyes kept looking behind him from time to time, and he immediately realized something.
He immediately wiped his hands with a towel and introduced her to Caroline.
"Caroline, the girl behind me is the eldest daughter of the Sacred Trading Company. She wants to come over to discuss wine matters and visit Saint Ann City for a few days!"
In order to avoid the exposure of the fact that the Holy Trading Company was founded by the sea clan, Gervis told a little lie in public.
This was what Vaodin asked Gervis before he left.
In this regard, Gervis temporarily agreed. After all, there is no direct conflict between the sea people and them at present.
"Hello, Sister Caroline! My name is Lolita!"
When Lolita saw Caroline looking at her, she had already sensed the hostility.
She had been wondering who she was before, but when she heard Gervis call out Caroline's name, Lolita remembered it instantly.
When Gervis was still in the City of Hope, wasn't it Caroline who was in charge of negotiating the sale of wine on Gervis' behalf?
Such a person must have a special relationship with Gervis.
If she wanted to have a good relationship with Gervis, she might have to get through Caroline, so Lolita deliberately lowered her attitude and politely called Caroline "sister".
"It turns out to be Miss Lolita from the Holy Trading Company! Welcome to Saint Ann City!"
Although Caroline still had some doubts in her heart, she knew that she should not hit someone who smiled at her. Besides, she had heard about the power of the Holy Trading Company a long time ago, so she smiled and greeted Lolita.
"Let's go! We'll get into the city first!"
Seeing that Caroline didn't look angry, Gervis finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Caroline was the only person other than Alice who had a real "relationship" with him, and it would be awkward if a quarrel arose.
"Okay Gervis, the food is ready in the city!"
Caroline nodded immediately and responded to Gervis.
…
"Gevis, how do we place these sea tribe soldiers?"
Just as Gervase approached Gandalf and his companions, Gandalf said something to Gervase.
"Oh, I almost forgot!"
Gervis remembered it upon hearing this, and then turned to give instructions to the five sea tribe captains.
"Just stay in the moat!"
Although Saint Ann City is a small city, it has a moat, and the moat is connected to a medium-sized river two miles away, which is enough for these 3,000 sea clan soldiers to move around! "Yes, Your Majesty!"
The five sea tribe captains responded respectfully.
Afterwards, Gervis led everyone back to Saint Ann City, and the sea tribe natives began to dive into the moat in an orderly manner.
"It's amazing! When I was in Eurasia, I never thought there was such a race!"
Caroline and others were amazed when they saw this scene.
…
After returning to the city and having a sumptuous lunch in the temple, Gervis returned to the back garden.
And Lolita, the little princess of the sea tribe, also followed along, saying that she was unfamiliar with the place and was a little scared of being too far away from Gervis.
In this regard, Gervis had no choice but to arrange for her to stay in a guest room in the small building.
This situation made Caroline frown frequently.
In this regard, Gervis naturally had to comfort Caroline to calm her emotions.
Especially, we must not let down her exquisite outfit today.
After nearly an hour of "comforting communication", Caroline's mood finally calmed down a lot.
…
"So, this Lolita is actually also from the sea tribe! And she's the little princess of the sea tribe!"
Caroline was sitting in front of a dressing table, fixing her hair which had been messed up by Gervais's 'lecturing'.
After hearing the true identity of this Lolita, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Yes!"
Gervis looked at Caroline's pretty face with a blush, feeling a great sense of accomplishment, and responded immediately when he heard the question.
"Then why doesn't she have scales and gills like those sea creatures?"
Caroline continued to ask doubtfully.
"Well, according to Lolita herself, her mother is a member of the most unique race in the ocean, called mermaid!"
"And she is different from other sea creatures because she looks like her mother!"
Gervis also listened to Lolita's own explanation. After all, it was impossible for him to sit with this girl in silence after a two-day journey.
"Mermaid!"
Caroline naturally didn't know what a mermaid was, but she didn't worry about it because she knew nothing about the races of the Holy Continent anyway.
"Um... Gervis, you said that the reason she came here was to marry you, so you wouldn't agree to it, would you?"
Compared to why Lolita looks different from ordinary sea creatures, Caroline cares most about the latter point.
In the past, apart from Alice, Gervis belonged to her.
But now that she has a competitor, and he is so outstanding, she is afraid that she will be left out.
"If I agreed, I would have agreed long ago!"
When Gervis saw Caroline's expression, he knew what she was thinking and immediately began to comfort her with a solemn promise.
"And Caroline, don't worry. No matter what, besides Alice, you are the one in my heart! Your place in my heart will never change!"
Gervis has explained Caroline's status to her. No matter if there are other people in the future, her status will never change.
"Um!"
"Grevith, you're so nice!"
Caroline was immediately happy when she heard this promise! Although, what Gervis meant by this sentence might be that he would have other people in the future.
However, in Eurasia, it was common for nobles to find lovers.
Especially now that Gervis is in such a high position and is so outstanding, it is impossible for no girls to like him.
All she wanted was to always have a place in Gervis' heart.
As for how many female confidantes Gervis had in the end, this should be handled by Alice, the legal wife.
…
After continuing to talk intimately with Caroline in the bedroom for a while, Gervis left St. Ann's while it was still light and came to the gathering place.
In the gathering place, he found Bernard directly.
"Your Majesty!"
"Bernard, it seems that you have worked very hard during this period! You actually broke through and became a golden knight!"
When Gervis saw Bernard, he immediately realized that he had made a breakthrough.
"I have to thank His Majesty for this gift. If it weren't for that strengthening potion, I would have to wait for several years to achieve a breakthrough!"
Bernard has now become extremely respectful to Gervase.
This is naturally not because of Gervis's identity change.
It was because Gervis had eradicated the church and avenged him.
Another reason is that Alex is now growing rapidly under Gervis and has reached the peak of bronze knight.
Such a growth rate seemed incredible to Bernard and was inseparable from Gervis' care.
"Haha! No need to thank me, you deserve this!"
"By the way, Bernard, I have something I want you to build for me!"
After reminiscing about the past, Gervis took out a diagram of the distiller, and at the same time, several guards behind him carried over the small distiller from the City of Hope.
"Okay, Your Majesty! Something like this can be made in three days!"
The distiller actually doesn't require any technical skills, but Gervis wants to forge a large one this time, so it takes some time.
"Yes! Sure!"
Hearing the three-day deadline, Gervis did not rush.
There is no sign of the dwarves coming yet, so there is no rush.
The most important thing is that he has not yet arranged to brew wheat beer by himself. It will probably take several months before he can actually brew wheat beer.
When Gervis returned this time, he also stockpiled a large amount of Dwarven Firebrew to deal with the dwarves that might come next.
…
After arranging the distiller in the blacksmith's workshop, Gervis did not return to St. Ann immediately, but took Caroline to arrange a place to build a winery.
This Hellfire Wine is different from grapes. Grapes are not a raw material for wine.
But Hellfire Wine is different.
As long as the dwarves know the function of the distiller, his Hellfire Brew will no longer be fragrant.
"Caroline, build a winery here. I've already drawn the plan!"
Immediately, Gervis took out the simple map he had drawn while bored on the road, which was actually a small enclosed fortress.
The surrounding walls are seven or eight meters high, and there is only one door for entry and exit.
This will ensure that no outsiders can sneak into the winery in the future. After all, Hellfire Wine is a strong liquor that can "control" dwarves.
No force would not be tempted, so he must prepare for the future.
"Okay, Gervis! I'll arrange for the goblin to check it out later!"
After Caroline got the design, she put it away.
"Well, then you and Anna can help me again next!"
As it was the first time to deal with the wheat wine, Gervis had to handle it personally.
Although he remembered some of the process of brewing wheat wine in his previous life, it was not as profound as that of brewing wine.
I only roughly know that the wheat needs to be soaked, then steamed, and after it is cooled and added with yeast, it will ferment.
Among these steps, the most important ones are undoubtedly koji and fermentation.
Yeast is made by grinding wheat and peas into powder and adding them in proportion, then adding water to mix the mixture, and then placing it in a specific temperature environment to wait for it to mold to form yeast.
With the help of maids Caroline and Anna, Gervis quickly prepared several batches of koji raw materials in different proportions.
The maid Anna carefully recorded and marked these raw materials.
Then, these different proportions of koji raw materials are mixed with water and placed in different environments to wait for them to ferment and produce mold.
Gervais remembered that temperature was important for mold to grow, so he made two of each ratio.
Half was placed in this sacred forest, and the other part was taken to the place where the gods fell.
Because the climate and temperature of the God's Falling Land and the Sacred Forest are different, Gervis can ensure the success of the koji production to the greatest extent.
After everything was done, Gervis returned to the temple and began to practice hard.
…
The next morning, Gervis woke up leisurely.
"Well! It's still more comfortable in my own bed!"
It had been a long time since Gervis had had such a good sleep. He felt indescribably comfortable smelling Caroline's scent on the quilt.
Knock, knock, knock! "Come in!"
Since Gervis has returned, the maid Anna will naturally wait outside the door in the morning to help Gervis get up and wash.
Hearing the knock on the door, Gervis gave an order without thinking too much.
Snap!
Then the door was opened, and when Gervis looked towards the door, he was stunned.
"Lolita, why are you here?"
"Let me help you get up and wash up!"
In response to Gervis's question, Lolita answered very naturally.
"Just let Anna handle things like this!"
To be honest, Lolita's appearance was really too much for Gervis.
I don’t know why Lolita’s previous cold and elegant appearance changed so quickly. The little princess of the sea clan actually rushed to be a servant!
"How can I do this? What if we get married in the future? I will have to help you dress and wash yourself, so I have to start studying early now!"
“…”
Thanks to "醉上九天揽月" for the reward!!!
