Chapter 65: The arrival of the convoy
Smiling, Gervais realized that Anna was also beside him, looking at him strangely, and quickly put away his proud smile.
"Cough...cough."
Gervais coughed twice in embarrassment, and then tried hard to act like a serious lord before taking out the long sword from his waist. He touched it lightly with his finger, and large blood beads condensed on his finger.
On the head.
Gervais quickly put his fingers on the amber fragments and dripped blood on them. To be on the safe side, Gervais squeezed his fingers until some of them dripped on each fragment, and then he stopped.
.
Later, Gervais felt relieved when he saw the elf bug eating a fragment with his own blood in his mouth.
"Sir, let me bandage it for you."
Seeing that Gervais had finished dripping blood, the little maid Anna quickly took a small strip of cloth from the drawer and began to bandage Gervais's wound.
…
"Lord Nashen, when will I be able to practice my critical three-sword slash to the point where you can do it in just two breaths?"
On the road not far from Binhai Town, a huge convoy was arriving at this moment. This convoy had more than 30 carriages to transport goods, and more than 100 coachmen and guards. This was exactly what Gandalf had led.
Depart for Stormland to deliver supplies to Gervais's convoy.
Derris and Nashen were riding at the front of the team. They were used to seeing the single color on both sides of the road. Derris was looking for a topic to chat with Nashen.
"Master Driss, you have only broken through the Bronze Knight not long ago, and you are already very good at using three critical strikes. As long as you practice slowly, I believe you can surpass me in a few years."
Nashen's tone was easy-going, but he did not answer Derris's question directly. The Three Storm Swordsmanship was a secret skill he taught to the three Derris brothers and sisters. Although it was the last of the secret skills, it was not easy to practice.
, Nashen has been practicing critical strike three sword cuts for ten years, but he has always stayed at the time threshold of 2 breaths. Although there is a factor of insufficient talent, it can also explain the difficulty of practicing the secret technique.
Although Derris was more talented than him, it would take at least several years for him to be able to perform a critical three-sword slash at 2 breaths. In order not to dampen Derris' enthusiasm, Nashen did not tell him the truth.
"Don't worry, Lord Nashen. I will definitely practice hard. I am different from Gervais. He is lucky, but I want to make a career on my own."
Driss was not aware of Nashen's intentions, and thought Nashen was praising and encouraging him, so he immediately straightened his back and looked at the towering castle on the hillside in the distance with some jealousy.
He took the initiative to ask Gandalf to come with the convoy this time, because he finally broke through and became the bronze knight five days ago, half a day earlier than his sister Bonita. Driss came this time.
The purpose is very simple, that is, I want to use my cultivation talent to attack Gervais and regain some face.
That's right, use your training talent to attack Gervais!
Ever since Gervais was chosen by Earl Alice to become the husband of the Earl, and received a fief and a baronetcy, this made Driss, who had always considered himself the best among Gandalf's children, sleepless and unable to eat.
His cowardly and incompetent brother, whom he had always looked down upon, unexpectedly gained the favor of Count Alice, which made Driss instantly lose his balance. He felt humiliated by Gervais and suffered tons of critical damage.
"Why was Gervais chosen instead of myself who was better than Gervais?" Although after so many days, Driss kept shouting in his heart.
Feeling aggrieved, Derris could only use practice to numb himself, and finally became a bronze knight. This greatly boosted Derris' confidence after becoming a bronze knight, and he was immediately freed from the feeling of loss.
This time when he came to Gervais' territory, he wanted to let Gervais know that he had become a titled knight. If he was his eldest brother, he would always be his eldest brother and would always be better than him.
So what about the fiefdom, what about the title, these were all rewards from the earl, but becoming a titled knight was achieved through hard work.
In order to better attack Gervais, during the few days on the road, Driss continued to practice during the breaks. He has been able to skillfully use the complete three-sword attack with three critical strikes.
The charging time of the sword slash is still eight breaths long, but this is enough to make Driss proud and confident to attack Gervais's heart.
Along the way, whenever Derris thought about how powerful he could be in front of his good-for-nothing brother, his heart was uncontrollably agitated, and his face showed an expression of fascination.
Looking at Driss's expression, Na Shen knew what Driss was thinking. Along the way, Driss was talking about Gervais, but for the matter between Derris and the Gervais brothers,
, the knowledgeable one did not interrupt.
Gervase and his daughter were childhood sweethearts. Although they are a little timid, they have a very good personality. Nash also likes this well-behaved boy. Driss is Gandalf's eldest son and will definitely become the next one under Gandalf's leadership.
Lord, as a vassal Lord Nashen cannot be offended.
The convoy was getting closer and closer to Binhai Town, and the road they were traveling on began to become smoother and wider. In this way, the huge convoy finally arrived outside the town.
When the motorcade arrived at the entrance of the town, Na Shen looked at the dilapidated houses in Binhai Town with some disbelief.
"A viscounty has fallen into such a state of ruin. Master Gervais doesn't know how many years it will take to develop."
"It is indeed very rundown, just like the villages in other territories. It seems that my younger brother's life as a baron is not that good."
Driss also saw the situation in Binhai Town. Although he is very hostile to Gervais now, it is just a comparison mentality between brothers. Now seeing that the town outside Gervais Castle is so dilapidated, he has to start to sympathize with him in his heart.
Here comes Gervais.
…
When Nashen and Driss arrived at the entrance of the town with their convoy, Laurie, who had rushed back to report first, also arrived at the castle. Under the leadership of Thomas, he went to the study to report the situation.
"The motorcade sent by my father has finally arrived. Thomas, please let the guards go to greet them now. I will wait for them in the castle! By the way, Thomas, you and Laurie's three family members can stay in the front courtyard for a while."
Gervais is still in the study at this moment, and has been paying attention to the elf bugs eating. He hopes that the elf bugs can finish eating quickly so that he can know what kind of mines can be mined in the space of the golden elf bugs. Unfortunately, the elf bugs need to eat
For about two days, Gervais could only wait slowly. Unexpectedly, there were many happy events this morning, and the convoy sent by Gandalf also arrived at this time.
The news of the convoy made Gervais extremely excited. He was already looking forward to the supplies that Gandalf gave him, thinking about them all the time, and immediately began to issue orders to prepare for the convoy.
"Yes, sir."
Thomas did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly bowed and excused himself, going to inform the guards.
"Laurie, you have worked hard on this trip. You should go and rest first!"
After Thomas left, Gervais turned to look at Laurie. Laurie's face looked tired after running all the way, so Gervais asked him to rest first.
"Thank you, sir. This is Rose Castle's reply to you. I have resigned!"
Laurie knew that the motorcade was about to arrive and Gervais had a lot of things to do. After receiving Gervais's instructions, he quickly bowed and left.
Chapter completed!
