In the end, Gervais got a purple elf and three elf bugs plus 500 gold coins from Boris.

Gervais was very satisfied with this. In fact, Gervais had a small calculation in exchanging the purple elf.

Although the elves are cuter and smarter than the elf bugs, there are too many orcs in the space opened up by the purple elves. Gervais has only a hundred people including slave soldiers. The biggest reason why Gervais kills the orcs is to make money.

Get energy points. Since the purple elf bug can get some energy points, why bother yourself with the purple elf.

As for Gervais not exchanging the two little elves, this is because Gervais's desire for collecting is also at play, and this time Boris only brought three elves, so there was no way for him to exchange them.

Take out three more fairy bugs.

So a purple elf plus three elf bugs is Gervais's most satisfying combination.

…

When Gervais settled all the bets, today's arena activities will come to an end.

Alice made a few brief remarks on the stage, and then walked out of the central stand first. Following Alice were the other nobles in the central stand, and finally it was the turn of those who were still commenting on today's fierce competition.

The ordinary spectators of the battle left the scene.

As a countess, Alice's means of transportation is different from that of Gervais and others. It is a luxurious and spacious carriage, which is much more luxurious than Pat's. Gervais guessed that the carriage of Pat, a country tycoon, was a copy of this carriage.

Because apart from its luxury, Pat's carriage looked exactly like the one in front of me.

Alice's carriage was in front, while Gervais and Gandalf were all following behind the carriage on horses.

The five injured guards, plus Bertram, were carried on stretchers by the guards and were ready to be taken to Roseburg for care.

Along the way, there were crowds of people on both sides of the street. Whether they were commoners, wealthy businessmen or minor nobles, they stretched their necks to look at the carriage and Gervais and his party carefully, pointing from time to time as if they were looking at animals in a zoo.

Of course, the noble gentlemen did not feel that they were being treated like monkeys. Instead, they all held out their chests and looked quite majestic.

Gervais was riding a horse in the team but said nothing, looking intently ahead because he was checking his system panel at the moment.

Gervais killed three orc leaders today, namely two pig-headed men and a goat-horned priest, and also obtained 3 energy points. Adding the remaining 2 points from the previous few days, he currently has a total of 5 energy points.

.

In addition to energy points, Gervais also obtained a black translucent Warcraft crystal. Gervais had never seen a black Warcraft crystal before, let alone heard of a Warcraft with spiritual attacks, so he also

He did not tell anyone about the mental attack and the Warcraft Crystal he suffered.

In addition to the above gains, plus the bets, Gervais can be said to have made a lot of money today, which can't help but make Gervais feel particularly good. At this moment, Gervais looked at the sky and felt that it was very blue and the clouds were very special.

white.

After returning to Roseburg, Gervais did not go to the study room to read immediately, but rushed to the kitchen.

As a time traveler, Gervais believed that a birthday without cake would not be a perfect birthday. Therefore, seeing that his cheap wife took good care of him, Gervais decided to let him have a perfect birthday.

When Gervais walked into the kitchen, all the cooks and helpers were busy, and the busiest one was Jimmy.

At this moment, Jimmy kept patrolling behind the seven or eight cooks, and those cooks were all making garlic paste in preparation for the charcoal-grilled oysters for today's dinner.

"grown ups!"

When Gervais walked to Jimmy, Jimmy saw Gervais and immediately greeted Gervais diligently.

"Well, Jimmy, how are they doing?"

There are hundreds of guests tonight. If Jimmy is asked to cook charcoal-grilled oysters by himself, of course it will not be able to meet the demand. So starting from two days ago, Jimmy began to teach these Roseburg chefs how to make garlic paste and grilled oysters.

Nowadays, the technique of grilling oysters has been sold throughout the Jones Territory, and Gervais doesn't feel bad that his cheap wife has to learn it at home.

"Sir, they are all the best cooks in Roseburg, and they learn quickly!"

Jimmy was not stingy with his praise.

"that's fine!"

"I wonder what you are doing in the kitchen, sir? Do you want help from me?"

Now Jimmy is extremely excited every time he sees Gervais coming to the kitchen, because as long as Gervais enters the kitchen in person, it means that he can learn another craft, and it is also a delicious and delicious technology that will be passed down from generation to generation.

"I don't need your help, just do your work first! I will teach you in the future!"

How could Gervais not know what Jimmy, the cook, was thinking and reject him directly.

Cake making is relatively complicated. The proportions of flour, egg liquid, and sugar must be just right, otherwise all the efforts will be wasted. Jimmy has never done it before and can't help. Moreover, Gervais is only going to make one cake today, so no one is needed.

help.

After chatting with Jimmy for a few words, Gervais found an empty seat and started making the birthday cake himself.

…

In the study on the third floor of Rose Castle, Alice was sitting at the desk, listening to Lina's report.

"Sir, Commander Rohr just came to report that the gate of the underground passage of the arena was destroyed, but nothing was found!"

Lina looked serious, obviously taking this matter very seriously.

"The eight knocked-out attendants did not say any useful information after being woken up. Everyone said that they were attacked without warning and fainted without even seeing anyone.

"

"The damaged parts of the underground passage door are all the locations of the winches. They should have been chopped and damaged by weapons such as long swords. However, there are countless people with long swords in the arena, and there are also many weapons rooms in the arena.

The weapons are idle, so they cannot be traced at all.”

Lina reported the investigation results in the arena to Alice one by one. Alice listened carefully to Lina's report, and then asked Lina thoughtfully: "Have Kevin and that Boris checked?

"

"My lord, we have carefully checked that Viscount Kevin and Viscount Boris each brought 6 guards when they went to the arena. However, their guards were all outside the arena and did not enter the arena. The rest of the servants and guards were

I haven’t been out in Roseburg.”

"Besides Kevin and Boris, does Gervais have any grudges with anyone else?"

Alice still takes it seriously when someone wants to do harm to Gervais. Such a thing happens under her nose. This not only makes her an enemy of Gervais, but also does not take the Jones family into consideration.

"My lord, I also asked Baron Gandalf and Anna, but they both said no! However, Viscount Nannette Kirwan was also in the arena at the time. Would you like me to check, sir?"

"Nanette? No, because of the dispute between Gervais and Lanny, he probably wants Gervais to cripple Lanny, so it won't be detrimental to Gervais."

Alice shook her head. This Nannette is Lanny's half-brother. Lanny and Nannette had an internal fight some time ago, killing and injuring several people, and became a joke in the principality. This matter Alice

Listened to a lot.

Of course, it was not unreasonable for Lina to make this suggestion. Alice, who was born in a count family, knew very well that the cunning of the nobles was actually directly proportional to their status. Sometimes in order to confuse the enemy, the nobles could imagine any kind of strategies.

"Lina, where is Commander Rohr? Let him continue to investigate this matter, and the guards must be strengthened at today's dinner to prevent any mistakes!"

"Yes, sir! Commander Rohr went home after returning to Rose Castle. Commander Rohr said that today he will personally wear armor to protect the safety of Rose Castle!"

"Very good, thank you for the hard work!"

Alice nodded.

Originally, due to Roll's status, he had to attend the banquet tonight and didn't have to be on duty. However, something happened in the arena, and Roll volunteered, so Alice felt relieved.
Chapter completed!
