Chapter 91 Nashen's Departure
The celebratory banquet lasted more than half an hour, and it was mainly the guards who were eating. They had finally gotten their hands on such delicious food, which was served in plenty. Everyone ate with their stomachs opened wide until they could not eat any more. Some guards, noticing that the Baron was not paying attention to them, stuffed two pieces of barbecue into their mouths before leaving the long table, and left with their cheeks puffed up.
Gervis and Nashen didn't eat much, and spent half of the time talking. When all the guards had almost finished eating, Nashen looked at the sky, estimated the time, and said to Gervis, "Master Gervis, it's almost time for us to set off and return!"
"Are you leaving so early? How about waiting until you finish eating in the afternoon? It's very hot to travel now."
Nashen set out to return to Gandalf's territory today. He had already greeted Gervis in the morning, and Gervis also asked Thomas to prepare dry food for them.
But Gervis thought that Nashen had at least eaten dinner before leaving. After all, they were all sleeping in the wilderness and there was no need to rush to the next town.
"Master Gervis, to be honest, I am very tempted by your suggestion. After all, we can never have enough of such delicious food. However, it is getting late and it is difficult to travel. We have a carriage, so we don't need to walk. It is okay if it gets a little hot."
Nashen smiled and shook his head, rejecting Gervis's kindness.
"Well, then. I have a letter here. Lord Nashen, please take it back and pass it to my father for me."
Seeing that Nashen had made up his mind, Gervis did not try to keep them any longer. It would be much easier to travel in such weather with a carriage. Most of his father's troops were here. Gandalf's territory was indeed a little unsettled, so it would be a good thing if Nashen and the others could go back earlier.
"Then do you want to go and say goodbye to Ike and the others?"
"No need, Master Gervis, I already greeted them this morning!"
"Then I wish you a safe journey!"
After greeting Gervis, Nashen began to act decisively and immediately summoned Gandalf's soldiers. After all the soldiers got on the carriage, the carriage slowly drove out of the castle at the urging of the coachman.
"Master Gervis, thank you for your hospitality. Let's set off now. I wish your territory will become more prosperous."
The convoy had already left the castle, but Nashen had his own horse, so he was still walking side by side with Gervis. They walked all the way to the gate outside the castle, then Nashen bowed and said goodbye to Gervis and prepared to mount his horse.
"Lord Nashen, have a safe trip. Please tell my father not to worry about me!"
Gervis nodded to Nashen, performed the noble etiquette with Nashen, and then waved goodbye to him. To Gervis, Nashen could be regarded as both a teacher and a friend. Most of his martial arts were learned from Nashen. When he was with Vivian, he would often go to Nashen's manor to play.
"Okay, Master Gervis, may the glory of chivalry be with you!"
"May the glory of chivalry be with you!"
After the two men said goodbye, Na Shen turned around and jumped on his horse, urging the warhorse to chase after the convoy down the hillside.
Gervis just stood at the gate of the castle, watching Nashen and others leave Binhai Town. After Nashen left, these most familiar people in the original owner's memory left him again. The next period of time was another period of independence, which actually made Gervis feel a little sad.
There are no instant communication tools like mobile phones in this world, so it is normal not to see each other for several months or even years.
When Nashen and others disappeared from his sight, Gervis suppressed his emotions and turned to look at his butler.
"Thomas, have you loaded them with the monster meat?"
In order to help his son, Gandalf went all out. Although most of the work was done by Gervase himself, gratitude was necessary. Gold coins were too vulgar. Well, the most important thing was that Gervase had no cash and was reluctant to spend the mithril. Gervase thought for a long time and finally decided to give some monster meat to Gandalf. This would not only express his gratitude to his father, but monster meat was also a good thing. Gandalf certainly had no chance to eat it. After all, he was a small noble and was reluctant to spend gold coins to buy it.
When Nashen went back this time, Gveyne specifically instructed Thomas to load twenty kilograms of Warcraft meat on the carriage, ten kilograms of which were for Gandalf.
The other ten kilograms were given to his cheap wife Alice. No matter what, Alice was his nominal wife, and the title, territory, and elf bugs were all given by this cheap wife. It was very necessary for Gervis to give her ten kilograms of monster meat.
Gervis was even a little worried that he might have sent too little. After all, the Jones family was a wealthy family, and low-level monster meat was not rare for them, let alone only ten kilograms.
However, Gervis would definitely be reluctant to give more as he was still thinking about increasing his cultivation by lying down. After thinking about it, Gervis decided to just give ten kilograms, exactly the same as Gandalf. After thinking about it, his own father only weighed ten kilograms, so Alice would not think that she was being stingy.
"Sir, I have loaded the monster meat onto the carriage as you instructed."
"Very good, Thomas. The ore space also needs two miners. Go to the town to recruit them when you have time. The miners must have families. The more wives, children and parents the better. Allow them to go home after work. You can decide how much they will be paid."
The production of saltpeter ore is not like other minerals. Saltpeter ore does not need to be dug at all. The main thing is the production process. Gervis thinks that only two people are needed to do the work. After Thomas gathers all the people, Gervis only needs to teach them how to control the temperature. The space also needs to be modified to build a pool and a large pot for boiling saltpeter. Such a small-scale saltpeter mine should be the cheapest way to produce minerals, and it is also suitable for Gervis who now has treasures but no cash.
As for the requirement to have family, Gervis only did it just in case. Even if something really went wrong in the end, Gervis would not implicate his family. He just wanted to give them a shackle so that they would have something to worry about and avoid making mistakes when they did something wrong. Now Gervis is still very poor and no one pays attention to him, but once the fact that Gervis can make ice is known to other nobles, there will definitely be a lot of people coveting the saltpeter mine.
"Okay, sir. I will recruit two miners as soon as possible according to your request. I wonder if you have any other instructions."
When Thomas heard Gervis' request, he did not think it was excessive. Instead, he was used to it. Isn't that what other nobles do? Some nobles even make a big fuss about punishing their families in order to make an example of others.
"No, go ahead and do your work, Thomas."
Gervis shook his head at Thomas, indicating that Thomas could go back to work.
"Yes, sir."
Thomas accepted the order respectfully, bowed, and turned back to the castle.
Thanks to "DarK Book Friend" and "SilentZERO" for the reward!!!!
