Chapter 664 Guilt!
Next, five days passed in a flash. During these five days, Gervais spent all his time practicing.
However, there is an undercurrent surging inside and outside the academy, and the entire City of Hope is full of spies looking for Gervais.
Of course, they still don't know the true identity of Gervais, they are just looking for the mysterious pharmacist who is called the father of spiritual power by magicians.
Of course Gervais, who had always been reclusive, had no way of knowing this information. It was Adela who conveyed it to Harry's classmate the day after the auction by lending him a book.
In addition to informing the entire Holy Alliance that all major and small forces in the Holy Alliance were looking for him, the letter Adela delivered this time also asked Gervais how to transfer the gold coins from the sale of the medicine to him.
Gervais was actually very troubled about how to receive the gold coins from the auction from Adela.
Gervais did not expect that a few potions could sell so many gold coins, so he did not predict that retrieving the gold coins would be a big trouble.
He sold a total of 7 mental potions this time, and the total amount of gold coins was not a small amount.
Among the seven potions that increase mental power, except for the three potions belonging to Adela's grandfather, Duke Edward, all cost 35,000 gold coins.
The other four coins were auctioned respectively: one coin worth 48,000 coins, one coin worth 37,000 coins, and two coins worth 36,000 gold coins.
The total amount of these gold coins is a total of 232,000 gold coins!
Such a large number of gold coins would require more than ten medium-sized treasure chests to hold them.
Therefore, there is no way for these gold coins to be deposited in the Holy Trading Bank like potions for Gervais to take the opportunity to withdraw them.
If he really goes to the Holy Trading Company to pick it up then, he will definitely fall into a trap. It is better to let Adela deliver it to him openly and conveniently.
Another point is that Adela is now the only person who has access to the mysterious pharmacist, and is naturally exposed to the eyes of all the forces of the Holy Alliance.
Although those forces did not dare to openly send people to monitor Adela, there were still many people secretly paying attention to Adela's every move.
In the past few days, the flow of people in the single-family dormitories near Gervais has increased significantly, and some small buildings have changed the students living there.
Even Gervais was secretly asked here if he could transfer the dormitory for a fee.
If Gervais is willing to transfer the dormitory, he will be rewarded with 500 gold coins.
Gervais naturally refused this. Although the people who asked him were also students, Gervais knew without thinking that these people must have been ordered by some force to observe Adela's whereabouts.
For this reason, Edward had even negotiated with Dean Palmer. In order to ensure Adela's safety, Waddington was temporarily moved into a nearby small building specifically to protect Adela's safety.
Under this situation, it is impossible for Gervais to get gold coins directly from Adela, and the risk is very high.
However, if the gold coins are not recovered, Gervais will soon be out of ammunition and food. In addition, as Harry, he still owes Adela 5,300 gold coins. If he does not pay back, Harry will be in trouble in the future.
His character is completely ruined.
So, Gervais spent half a day thinking about it, and finally came up with a relatively safe solution.
Of course, although this method is safer, it does require a lot of hard work for Adela, a rich lady.
Fortunately, judging from Adela's performance, she will definitely agree to Gervais's request.
Gervais's method was to ask Adela to prepare several more medium-sized treasure boxes of the same number, and to prevent anyone from noticing the existence of fake treasure boxes.
Then let Adela pretend to deposit these treasure chests containing stones to the Holy Trading Company.
After the fake treasure chest is stored, let Adela wander around the inner city to attract attention, pretending to give the accessed magic card to someone.
The real method of transfer is to let Adela take the time to come to Harry, store the real treasure box in the space bracelet in Harry's study while he is not paying attention, and at the same time invite Harry out under the pretext of inviting him out.
At that time, 'Gervas himself' will sneak into Harry's dormitory and take away the treasure box.
Since the gold coin treasure chest has always been placed in Adela's space bracelet, outsiders naturally don't know whether the treasure chest Adela deposited in the Holy Trading Company is real or fake.
Not to mention that the real treasure chest was placed in Harry's study.
When the time comes for Harry, who has been sent away, to return to the dormitory, he can directly put away the gold coins in the study room.
In doing so, he not only hid the truth from the probing Holy City forces, but also hid this little girl Adela.
Little Adela naturally didn't know that the 'Harry' she sent away was her fierce knight, nor did she know that during the time they left, no one sneaked into Harry's study to take away the gold coins.
After coming up with this idea, Gervais put the message in the cover of the book and passed it to Adela on the pretext of returning the book the next day.
…
As for the Fierce Knight who thought about it day and night, Adela had no doubt at all why Harry returned the books more frequently. Instead, she felt quite lucky to receive the reply earlier.
After learning about Gervais's method, Adela took action as expected. She secretly found some medium-sized empty treasure boxes in the manor warehouse of Sky City and put them into the space ring. By the way, she also packed some valuable items.
Debris goes in.
The reason why stones were not used was because Adela had no place to find stones, but the weight of the debris was about the same.
Afterwards, Adela went to the Holy Trading Company accompanied by Walton.
Adela's move naturally caught the eyes of all the spies, but Adela did not hide it and directly deposited more than ten gold coin treasure chests and paid a month's storage fee at once.
Then Adela followed Gervais's method and wandered around the city. In many crowded places, she deliberately stopped the carriage and walked among the crowds.
This visit lasted for two consecutive days. After two days, Adela stopped going out.
…
Gervais didn't know what Adela did because he couldn't follow Adela.
However, he and Adela agreed that the actual time to deliver the gold coins would be today at noon. If Adela followed his plan, she would come to her door today.
Boom, boom, boom!
Just when Gervais estimated that the time was almost up and stopped practicing, he heard a knock on the door.
Then Gervais immediately came downstairs and opened the door.
"Harry! I want to go to your study to borrow a book from you. The college prepares it for each dormitory. I don't know where my book went? Is that okay?"
After the door of the small building was opened, the pretty Adela was seen standing at the door.
Now Adela has become accustomed to lying to herself as a classmate, and when she lies she no longer feels unnatural in the past.
"Of course, Adela-san! You can go find it yourself!"
Gervais looked at Adela with a smile and agreed wholeheartedly.
This idea was taught by him, and he will definitely allow Adela to successfully complete the plan of hiding the treasure box in the study.
However, when Gervais looked at Adela with a natural expression, he felt a little guilty in his heart.
Adela seemed to be unable to lie originally. At that time, she would blush when she told lies, but he taught her step by step how to break it.
For such a pure and innocent young lady, it is naturally an immoral act to let people learn bad things because of her own thoughts. Gervais's sense of guilt is a normal reaction of conscience.
"Thank you, Harry!"
Because things were going well, Adela breathed a sigh of relief, said something to Gervais, and then quickly went to the study on the second floor.
She had no idea that the Harry in front of her was the Gervais she thought about day and night, and she was still feeling guilty for having taught her a bad lesson.
A minute later, when Adela walked downstairs again, Gervais was pretending to be reading a book in the living room on the first floor.
"Harry!"
Adela came to the living room with a book in her hand and shouted to Gervais.
"Well, Adela! Did you get the book you wanted to borrow?"
"I found it, thank you Harry! By the way, Harry, to express my gratitude to you, I'll treat you to lunch!"
Adela smiled and invited Gervais.
"I'd better treat you! You've lent me so many books! But I can only treat you to the college cafeteria!"
Gervais smiled slightly, immediately closed the book in his hand, then stood up and said.
"Okay, thank you very much, Harry!"
Adela just wanted to get Harry away now, so naturally she wouldn't dwell on it, so she immediately agreed!
Chapter completed!
