Chapter 58 Return with a Full Load
After arranging the affairs of the village, Gervis had the villagers and guards cut down a few bowl-sized trees to make a simple bracket, and then hung the bracket behind two horses, put the storm wolf on it, and dragged the body of the storm wolf back to the castle.
The storm wolf is a magical beast, and its meat contains many unknown elements. Anyone who eats the meat of magical beasts can improve their cultivation. The effect of some high-level magical beast meat is even comparable to the effect of practicing in a cultivation space.
As long as you eat the meat of Warcraft, you can improve your strength just by lying down without any training, and there are no side effects. This makes the meat of Warcraft creatures always in short supply and deeply loved by the nobles.
Whenever Monster meat appears, nobles will flock to buy it. Due to its scarcity, the price of Monster meat is rising. Even the lowest-level Monster meat, such as Storm Wolf, can be sold for 1 gold coin for 10 kilograms. If one wants to improve their cultivation by eating meat, they need to eat it for a long time to be effective. Eating it for only three to five days can only be considered a snack.
Although Warcraft meat is valuable, it is not easy to hunt Warcraft. Even the lowest-level Warcraft has some intelligence. Warcraft with low strength often hide in the depths of the forest, far away from areas where humans appear.
Not to mention powerful monsters, they are not easily seen, and even if they are seen, no one dares to provoke them, so it is considered a great fortune for Gervis to meet this already old storm wolf.
The storm wolf dragged by two horses weighs at least four or five hundred kilograms, and will not be less than four hundred kilograms after processing. If it is sold, Gervis can get at least more than forty gold coins, which is a lot of money.
However, Gervis wanted to keep the monster meat and not sell it. He could improve his cultivation just by lying down. Gervis himself really needed such meat. He practiced hard in the space during the day, and ate some monster meat at night to improve his cultivation while lying down. This way, he could improve his strength as soon as possible.
Because the horses were moving very slowly while dragging the huge corpse of the Storm Wolf, this gave Gervis the opportunity to voluntarily leave the team, giving him time to look for the remaining red dots on the radar.
Along the way, Gervis was seen deliberately speeding up and slowing down his pace. Sometimes he would break away from the team and rush ahead, and sometimes he would stop in front and wait for a line of guards.
Originally, Audry and the others were nervous about Gervis riding away from their sight alone, but later, Gervis did this three or four times, and Audry and the others got used to it. They thought that their lord baron was in a particularly good mood because he had killed a storm wolf, and he was not in any danger, so they just hurried on their own.
When Gervis opened the panel again and saw that the red dot on the radar was less than two kilometers away from him, he repeated the same trick, accelerated on his horse and rushed forward, shaking off the guards. Just like that, Gervis' figure slowly disappeared from the guards' sight.
"It's really tiring. Being a lord doesn't come without its drawbacks. There are people following you all day long, and it's like you have to put on a show if you want to shake them off!"
Gervis galloped on his horse on the dirt road, moving forward quickly relying on the radar navigation, and complained in his heart as he galloped.
"Hey, it's still on the roadside this time." Following the instructions of the radar, Gervis quickly reached the location of the red dot, which was about a few dozen meters away from the dirt road, in a sparse grove.
Time was running out, so Gervis didn't dare to delay. He jumped off his horse, tied the horse to the side of the road, and quickly walked into the grove. Gervis was now familiar with finding the elf insect amber. When the red dot and the green dot on the radar completely overlapped, Gervis stopped and began to observe the surroundings.
Gervis first searched on the ground, but found nothing. He did not get discouraged, and immediately looked at the small trees around him. Finally, after observing for a while, he noticed a strange color among a few sparse leaves. Gervis quickly pushed aside the leaves in front of him, and saw the valuable elf insect amber hanging on the branches like a fruit.
"Haha, I finally found you. This trip is really profitable. I hope that when the elf bugs are born, Boss Rongguang can still protect me and let me get a few valuable mutant elf bugs."
Gervis happily put the amber stone into the small leather bag at his waist. He shook it in his hand before putting it back at his waist. Feeling that the small leather bag had become heavy, Gervis murmured to himself greedily.
…
Having obtained both elf insect ambers, Gervis no longer ran around like before, but walked forward with the guards obediently. After all, his pain had not yet healed, and everything he had just done was only out of helplessness.
There was no conversation along the way. After more than an hour's journey, Gervis and others finally arrived outside the castle.
As they got closer and closer to Binhai Town, more and more people passed by on the road. The serfs all gasped when they saw the Storm Wolf being dragged by two horses in the team. Some of the timid ones were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they took several steps back. Only when they saw that the Storm Wolf was dead did their faces recover a little.
"Wow, this is the first time I've seen such a big wolf. It's as big as a calf. My lord is really amazing. He can hunt such a big wolf."
"You are really ignorant. Those who can become lords are all titled knights. Let alone such a big wolf, even if it is four or five times bigger than this wolf, I believe that the lord can kill it."
“…”
Gervis was somewhat speechless. Although the serfs lowered their voices when they talked, he could still hear them slightly as a titled knight. He imagined a storm wolf that was four or five times the size of an elephant. It would be the size of an elephant, and its claws would be bigger than his head. He was just a low-level bronze knight.
“This is absolutely flattering!”
Gervis glanced over there and made a conclusion in his mind about what the serf said.
“Wow, the Lord is so majestic, I like him so much, I really want to be a maid in the castle, so that I can see the Lord every day.
"You like the lord? Are you greedy for the maid's generous salary? The child is still waiting for you to go back and feed him. Don't dream!"
"Humph, besides the salary, I also like the Lord!"
The conversation between the two people also fell into Gervis' ears. After listening to it, Gervis felt quite comfortable, so he looked towards the person who was speaking, but when Gervis saw clearly, he was shocked.
“I’ll go!”
The person who said she wanted to be a maid in the castle was old enough to be Gervis' aunt. Gervis was frightened and quickly urged his horse to run back to the castle.
Gervis ran to the castle gate with lingering fear, then slowed down his horse and entered the castle amid the greetings of the guards. When Gervis passed through the castle gate, he saw a surprising scene. In the empty vestibule, a girl in a maid outfit was riding a horse around in the vestibule. The girl could already slightly control the horse to move forward and turn.
"It seems that this housekeeper was chosen correctly. He is not stubborn and he also knows to take the initiative to let her learn horse riding."
Gervis had already recognized the girl on horseback, it was Anna, who had just become his personal maid today.
Gervis was not angry but rather approved of Thomas's arrangement for Anna to learn horse riding. Even if Thomas did not arrange for Anna to learn horse riding, Gervis would personally arrange this learning task for her in a few days.
In this world, most of the literate people are nobles, which results in some minor nobles having basically illiterate subordinates, because they do not have any capital to afford to hire literate nobles to serve as their subordinates.
Now Thomas needs to manage the affairs of the castle and it is impossible for him to follow him all the time, so it is very necessary to train the literate Anna to replace the original Thomas. Therefore, Anna must learn to ride a horse so that she can be used as a secretary. It is a pleasant thought to have a secretary do something!
Gervis admired Thomas for thinking for himself, but he didn't know that if Thomas hadn't come up with a bold idea and misunderstood the relationship between Gervis and Anna, how could he dare to let Anna learn horse riding without Gervis's consent.
