Next, Gervais wanted to see if he could get out of bed and walk on his own, so that he could leave early and return to the academy.

However, after trying it, he found that due to the dual factors of injury and the side effects of black kiwi fruit, his legs became sore and weak, making it difficult to walk.

So he definitely didn't want to leave today, so Gervais simply continued to lie on the bed and chat with Adela.

While chatting, Adela suddenly remembered the three potions that Gervais gave her. Remembering that she had not thanked Gervais for the birthday gift, she immediately said to Gervais.

"Gervis, thank you for the birthday gift! I like it very much!"

This birthday gift not only relieved the embarrassment of all the young people that night, but also saved Adela's face in disguise.

Although she has no intention of comparison, the orc princess who hosted the banquet with her received expensive gifts, but she did not. No matter what, she could not live up to her reputation.

Gervais's gift is really a timely help.

"As long as you like it!"

Hearing Adela's thanks for the birthday gift, Gervais smiled slightly.

However, after talking about the three potions he sent, Gervais suddenly remembered that this silly girl would probably not take the potions after receiving them, but would keep them as souvenirs.

But if such a medicine is not taken, it will be useless.

Now that I am right in front of her, I should let this little girl surrender.

Thinking of this, Gervais immediately spoke to Adela.

"By the way, Adela, take out the potion now and take it all!"

"ah?"

"Should we all take it?"

Adela obviously had no intention of taking these potions, and she was stunned when she heard Gervais's words.

"Well, if you don't take it, it's just a potion. Only after you take it will the potion have real value!"

Gervais looked into Adela's eyes and said seriously.

"Oh well!"

Adela was obviously a little reluctant to give up, but the person talking to her at this time was Gervais, so she could only lower her head and respond, and then took out the potion from the space bracelet.

Adela now has a total of four potions given by Gervais.

One was given to Gervais as an apology after he broke into her small building at night to avoid being hunted.

The other three were given at the birthday party the day before yesterday.

At this time, all four potions were taken out and placed on the small table beside the bed, and Gervais could clearly see that Adela was a little reluctant to leave.

He immediately smiled slightly, picked up the separate potion to increase mental power, opened it and said to Adela.

"I give you these potions just so that you can take them to increase your strength. Although such potions are expensive, I have a way to get them."

"So you don't have to worry, I will continue to send it to you if there are any more in the future!"

Wave!

After saying that, with a popping sound, the cork of the medicine bottle was opened, and a faint fragrance floated out.

Today, Gervais needed a little effort to even open the mental potion.

After uncorking the bottle, Gervais directly delivered the potion in front of Adela and said softly.

"Come on, drink it!"

"Um!"

When Adela heard that Gervais said that he would send potions to her in the future, the reluctance in her heart immediately disappeared. Her pretty face turned red and she took the potion that Gervais handed her.

At the same time, Gervais took the initiative to help her open the cork of the medicine bottle and gave it to her to drink, which also made Adela feel indescribable joy.

After seeing Adela obediently take the potion, Gervais opened the gift box next to him and took out a potion directly from the gift box.

"This blue potion can increase your affinity for magic. I heard that the materials are very rare and extremely difficult to prepare, so I only have one potion like this at the moment!"

What Gervais was holding in his hand was the magic recovery potion mixed with orange kiwi fruit, and he explained to Adela seriously.

"Ah! A potion that increases affinity for magic!"

After hearing this, Adela was immediately stunned, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

She was really shocked.

If mental strength is not high, most of the time it will only affect the magician's subsequent achievements.

But if you don't have an affinity for magic, you can't even become a trainee magician, and most people who can't practice magic are because of this reason.

Now Gervais actually told her that this potion was actually a potion that increased magic affinity. No wonder Alice was so surprised.

"Don't be stunned, drink it quickly, I am willing to give it to you because you are my girlfriend!"

From Adela's stunned expression, Gervais gained a small sense of accomplishment and immediately urged with a serious look.

"Well! You are my boyfriend too!"

Adela nodded obediently, her eyes full of gratitude, and she obviously believed what Gervais said.

Afterwards, Adela took the potion from Gervais' hand and drank it happily.

Gervais, on the other hand, kept talking, thinking that he was a scumbag. He not only lied and deceived other people's rich ladies, but also took advantage of others in private.

Fortunately, Gervais was thick-skinned and did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he continued to pick up another golden potion with a smile.

"This golden potion can strengthen the body. I heard it is very effective for titled knights. However, magicians also have to face battles, and it is also beneficial to increase their physical fitness, so you should take it too!"

Gervais opened the golden potion and handed it to Adela.

"Um!"

Adela had already seen so many miracles. When she heard the efficacy of this golden potion, although her eyes were filled with disbelief, she did not exclaim again.

She first carefully put the empty bottle of medicine in her hand into the gift box, then reached out to take the medicine from Gervais' hand, put it to her mouth and drank it.

Seeing Adela take another potion, Gervais was naturally ready to let Adela drink all four potions in one go, so he took the last potion that increased mental power in his hand.

…

While Adela and Gervais were fighting each other in the room, there was a man standing outside the door with a horrified expression.

And this man is Adela's grandfather, Duke Edward.

Edward had just heard that Gervais was awake, and was going to come over to check it out, just to express his goodwill.

But when he came to the door of the room, he happened to hear the words of Gervais and his granddaughter coming from inside the room.

Then Edward had a thought in his mind and stopped slightly to listen attentively.

But it was okay not to listen, but when he heard it, he heard words that made him unbelievable.

A potion that increases magic affinity!

Potions that strengthen the body!

Does such a potion really exist?

Edward couldn't believe his ears.

However, with the lessons learned from the potion that increases mental power, Edward finally believed what Gervais said.

Just in this way, after these three potions, wouldn't it mean that no matter whether you are a waste or an idiot, as long as you drink enough potions, you can become a genius-like being?

Although Gervais said that the potion that increases affinity is very rare, not counting the potion that increases affinity, the potion that strengthens the body is enough to cause the entire Holy Continent to tremble again.

Edward even felt that this shock was definitely bigger than the ripples caused by the potion that increased mental power.

As a titled knight, he naturally knew what the golden potion meant.

After continuing to stop at the door for a while, and making sure that Adela had drunk all the potion, Edward raised his hand and knocked on the door, and then opened the door.

"grandfather!"

"Duke Edward!"

When Edward entered the room, Adela and Gervais immediately turned their attention to Edward, and then greeted him one after another.

"Well, young man, you finally woke up! That's good!"

Edward glanced at his granddaughter first, and then set his sights on Gervais, speaking very kindly.

At this time, he was even more interested in wooing Gervais, not for anything else but for the two additional new potions.

"Thank you Edward for your help!"

Gervais felt very good about Adela as his grandfather, and immediately thanked him gratefully.

"This is what it should be. You also saved my granddaughter!"

Edward shook his head slightly, acting very kindly.

"Grandfather, Gervais has agreed to be my guardian knight! When can you hold the coronation ceremony for Gervais as a guardian knight?"

At this time, Adela also spoke.

Since Gervais agreed to the guardian knight matter, Adela couldn't wait to complete the coronation ceremony of the guardian knight as soon as possible, so that she could truly feel at ease!

"Oh? How about grandpa holding the coronation ceremony of the guardian knight at noon tomorrow?"

Upon hearing his granddaughter's words, Edward was also stunned. He didn't expect to agree so quickly.

But this is just right. Now that the god of death named Gervais has obtained two new potions, he must focus on wooing them.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Edward was also prepared to complete this ritual as soon as possible.

The decision was made immediately.

"Well, Grandpa, you are the best!"

When Adela heard that it was tomorrow, she was naturally very satisfied and immediately thanked Edward with a happy face.

"Um!"

Seeing his granddaughter's happy look, Edward nodded lovingly, and then continued.

"Then grandpa will go ahead and make arrangements for tomorrow. You young people can continue chatting!"

After saying that, Edward left the room to make arrangements for tomorrow's coronation.

…

"It turns out to be the elves!"

"Ah, this is my first time seeing elves. They are so beautiful, exactly like the ones in the legend!"

"Of course, an elf can be sold for 100,000 gold coins on the black market!"

"Hiss! So expensive!"

"The elves have a lifespan of thousands of years, and they are beautiful, so the price is naturally high!"

"Shh, keep your voice down. If the elves hear you, they will think you are part of the slave-catching team and shoot you with bows and arrows!"

Outside the gate of the City of Hope, a team of more than 500 people arrived at the city gate, and the pedestrians who were passing by the city gate stopped one after another, staring at the team pointing and talking.

The elves have not appeared in the outside world for decades. Of course, many humans who only have a lifespan of a hundred years have only heard of the elves in rumors, but have never actually seen them.

Now when I see that all the elves are handsome and beautiful, as if they are different from each other, naturally they are all very surprised.

For Alice and others, it is naturally uncomfortable to be criticized and criticized by so many people.

But this was not the first time this happened, so they could tolerate it.

Moreover, there was a group of Knights of the Rose blocking the way outside, and the crowd of onlookers was separated, allowing the team to avoid the crowds of onlookers.

…

While the entire team was being watched by everyone, three war horses ran out of the City of Hope at a constant speed and quickly came to the side of the Elf team.

And this person is none other than Nadine, the commander-in-chief of the Knights of the Rose.

Nadine rode her war horse directly to Alice's luxury carriage. She immediately got off her horse and half-knelt on the ground to report to Alice in a low voice.

"Your Highness the Queen, we have entered the city to find out more about it!"

"This City of Hope is divided into an outer city and an inner city. There are also some courtyards for rent in the outer city. The rent for each courtyard requires 500 gold coins per month, and it can accommodate up to fifty people!"

"As for the manor in the inner city, the monthly rent for the smallest manor costs about 2,000 gold coins, and can accommodate hundreds of people! A large manor that can accommodate more than 500 people will cost tens of thousands of gold coins!"

Today, Nadine is already a golden intermediate knight.

Although the Golden Knight is nothing in the Holy Continent, compared to Nadine, who was only at the peak of Silver half a year ago, this kind of progress is already considered rapid.

If it weren't for the magic plants in the sacred forest and the stream beside the elves' spring of life, he might not have broken through and become a golden knight.

“So expensive!”

After listening to Nadine's words, Alice in the carriage frowned slightly and whispered.

Although they are envoys from the elves, no one in the City of Hope will receive them or arrange accommodation for them.

Because the City of Hope does not belong to the Holy Alliance at all, it is the private property of the Alliance College of Higher Education.

This competition was initiated by the Holy Alliance, not the Alliance College, so the Alliance College naturally would not spend gold coins to meddle in other people's affairs.

In this case, Alice and her group will need to find a place to settle on their own.

The reason why their team stopped here before was so that Nadine and others could go to the city to inquire about a place to stay.

After all, if a team of hundreds of people doesn't find a place to settle down in advance, it will definitely be crowded when they enter the city, which would be bad if something unexpected happens.

But now that she heard the price of renting a house in the City of Hope, Alice became a little worried.

In order to avoid trouble along the way, they rarely entered the human city.

Therefore, they don’t know much about the prices of goods in the Holy Continent, let alone the elves who are traveling with them. They have not been out of the Sacred Forest for countless years, so they also know nothing about the prices of goods in the human race.

Now that she has arrived in the City of Hope, just placing her own team will cost at least several thousand gold coins, which makes Alice a little reluctant to give up.

If it were in the past, with the wealth of the Jones family, these thousands of gold coins would naturally be spent.

But now most of the Jones family's wealth is used to improve the infrastructure of the elves. The gold coins have bottomed out and there is not much money left.

Otherwise, she, the queen, would not have come in person this time to lead more than 500 people, and at least 2,000 people would not be an exaggeration!

"Then let's go to the courtyards in the outer city. Are there enough courtyards for all of us to live in?"

Alice thought for a moment and finally made a decision!

A courtyard outside the city only costs 500 gold coins a month to accommodate fifty people.

In other words, you only need to spend 5,000 gold coins to accommodate everyone in your team. Although they need to live separately, it should be safe if dozens of people are together and still in the city.

As for living in those large manors in the inner city, Alice really couldn't bear to live there. If she really lived there, it would really deplete the Jones family's wealth.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen!"

After listening to Alice's instructions, Nadine only hesitated for a moment, but still responded respectfully and stood up, ready to rent those courtyards immediately.

"etc!"

But at this moment, the old earl, Prince Alder, Adela's father, stopped Nadine.

"Your Majesty Prince Alder!"

Nadine is not an elf, and Alice has told her so, so she calls Alice queen.

And Alder must not be called Earl now, so they simply called him separately, and everyone changed their name to the old Earl and called him Prince Alder.

"Um!"

Alder rode the colorful deer and nodded to Nadine, then got close to the carriage and whispered to Alice inside.

"Alice, you are the queen after all! If you live in the courtyard, you will definitely be looked down upon by humans and beasts, so I think it's better to rent a manor to live in!"

"But father, we don't have enough gold coins. If we want to rent a large manor, it will cost at least tens of thousands of gold coins. That will use up all our gold coins!"

Of course Alice knew that living in the courtyard of the outer city would cause the humans and beasts to gossip.

But this is much better than living outside the city and sleeping in the wilderness, so Alice just made this decision.

"Alice, otherwise, we have more than 500 people in total. You take more than 100 people to live in the small manor in the inner city, and the rest live in the courtyard outside the city."

Now Alder's approach is the best of both worlds.

It will not make the elves look down upon too much, but it will also save most of the gold coins.

After all, if the queen lived in a small courtyard outside the city, she would really be laughed at.

And if Alice, the queen, lives in the Manor in the City of Hope, then at least people just think that the elves are a little poor, and they are not so poor that they are down and out.

"Then do as your father said!"

After listening to her father's words, Alice thought for a moment and agreed.

Although she doesn't care whether her residence is good or bad, she still has to take into account the face of the elves. This is her responsibility as a queen.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen, I will do it now!"
