Chapter 104 Bernard's Night Visit
When Thomas exited the study, Gevis began looking for books on the bookshelf. Since the last time he read the book "Cecil's Travels", Gevis has been trying to find similar books from the bookshelf, but found nothing.
As a viscount's castle study, there are a lot of books, with thousands of books, most of which are travelogues or autobiography of nobles. Therefore, Gevis cannot tell which books may contain what he wants, and can only check them one by one. As long as it is travelogues and autobiography of nobles, he will open and view them. However, facing these heavy books, he did not know that it would take the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month to find the content he wanted. Perhaps except for "The Travels of Cecil", other books may be normal.

Just as Gervis was about to take a travel notes from the bookshelf, the door was knocked.
"Come in."
Gervis was a little surprised. Thomas had just left, so why did he come to find him again? After all, Anna was still sleeping, and only Thomas was left in the castle to find him directly upstairs. Even the other guards had not received permission, they could not enter the inner castle without authorization, let alone run to the third floor.
"Sir, the guard informed the town's blacksmith outside the castle, and he said he wanted to see you!"
Thomas slowly opened the door of the study, walked in from outside, came to Gervis and bowed respectfully, and then reported the matter to Gervis.
"Blacksmith Bernard?"
Gervis thought, and Bernard came to him so late, and he had a vague guess in his heart.
"Take him to the study room and bring him a cup!"
"Yes, sir!"
Thomas quickly responded and quickly left the study.
Since there were visitors, Gervis gave up his plan to read, came to the sofa in the study and sat down, took the wine to the square table next to the sofa, poured himself a glass of wine and waited patiently.
"Sir, the blacksmith Bernard has taken to the entrance of the study."
After a moment, Thomas walked in alone.
"Well, let him come in, go and do your own."
"Yes, sir!"
Thomas carefully placed the cup he had just received on the square table, then respectfully bowed and continued to leave.
The etiquette of the nobles in this world is very complicated. Although Gevis is very casual, it is because Gevis is a baron lord and can do whatever he wants in his castle, but outsiders or servants must abide by these etiquettes. When guests come outside the study, Thomas must inform him in advance and get Gevis' confirmation again before entering a noble private space like the study.
"Lord, please forgive me. I'm here to bother you so late!"
After Thomas withdrew, Bernard, who had obtained permission, entered the study room. He did not look at it curiously or feel restrained. He just walked quickly to the front of Gervis and bowed respectfully to Gervis.
"Haha, there is nothing to bother, Mr. Bernard sat down and talked, you are right today, I got the same good thing today, and you can also try it."
Geweis attaches great importance to talents and is very happy to be a respectful and respectful person. Thanks to the memory of the earth, he can express himself well without pretending. After all, the nobles in this world have become accustomed to being arrogant. Even if someone wants to respect the virtuous and respectful person, it is impossible to be as natural as Geweis.
Gervis said, and had already spooned a spoonful of wine and poured it into the cup that Thomas brought.
"Thank you Lord."
Hearing Gevers' words, Bernard was no longer polite. After saluting and thanking, he sat respectfully on the sofa on the side. After sitting down, he looked at the jar on the table. When he entered the room, he smelled a special sweet smell. However, he was a person with strong self-control and did not even take a look before sitting down. The source of the tempting fragrance.
"Come on, try it."
After Bernard sat down, Gevis saw Bernard's movements, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then put the wine he had just poured in front of Bernard. Bernard was the only person who could not see through. Even Brian's alchemist did not give Gevis this feeling. This made Gevis feel a little illusion that ordinary people should be as threatening as children in front of the title knight, but Brian made Gevis feel like a black hole and bottomless, but Gevis was very sure that Bernard was not the title knight.
"Thank you, Lord Lord."
Gevis was able to hand the cup to the square table in front of him, and no longer regarded Bernard's identity as a low-level civilian. Bernard sincerely thanked Gevis again, and then picked up the wine on the table and started drinking.
There is no doubt that the wine is delicious. Even Bernard, who has always been calm, his eyes lit up after tasting the deliciousness of the wine. He couldn't bear to put down his glass and tasted it for several sips before he finished.
"Lord, are you wine?"
After taking a few sips and savoring them carefully, Bernard finally spoke out in surprise.
"Yes, golden wine! Only I have it here, and the castle will make and sell this wine in the future."
Gervis nodded and smiled and answered Bernard, feeling that he was almost polite, so he began to ask about the matter.
"Bernard, do you know what's wrong with you coming to me tonight?"
"Praise your good luck, Lord Lord!"
After sincerely praising Gevis's basis, Bernard had tidy up his body, and the look of surprise on his face faded away, and he slowly expressed his purpose for this trip.
"Lord, I'm so late and I'm taking the liberty to disturb you, but it's actually for my son Alec."
"Alec? I don't know what happened to Alec?"
After Bernard spoke, Gevis knew that his guess was correct. Bernard did come for Alec to become a guard, but making Alec to become a guard was his indirect control of Bernard. Since the fish had been hooked, Gevis certainly had no reason to let go, so he dressed in a clear manner and asked in confusion.
"It's so. Alec secretly applied for me on his back this afternoon and became your guard. I want to ask Lord Lord to be able to give up his grace and remove his guard."
Seeing that Gervis looked incomprehensible, Bernard rarely faded his usual calmness and calmness, showing a hint of request, and asked respectfully at Gervis.
Alec had already expressed his allegiance to Gerves in the afternoon, and was loyal to the public. Unless Gerves voluntarily announced the termination of their allegiance relationship, Alec would not perform his duties at that time. As long as Gerves wanted to do it, there would be sufficient reasons to hang Alec on the wooden pole as a flag.
"Oh, Alec actually hid it from you. I thought you agreed. My subordinates were going to eliminate him, but Alec was not convinced and was making trouble there. I saw that he was your son, so I gave him a chance and specially recruited him. For this reason, my guard quota increased from 30 to 31. I didn't expect that it would be a mistake. It was just that Alec liked to be a guard so much, and after becoming a guard, it was no worse than a blacksmith. How could you object?"
Only then did Gevis look like he suddenly realized the truth, briefly mentioned the matter at noon, and began to ask about the reason.
"Sir, Alec is my only son. If he doesn't follow me to make a blacksmith's craft, our family's blacksmith's craftsmanship will be lost in my generation."
Bernard has learned in detail how Alec became a guard from his neighbors' vivid narrative, so he came to the castle so eagerly to ask Gevis to remove Alec's allegiance and guard status.
