Chapter 393 The Ghost in the River (2-in-1) (monthly ticket plus more)

After receiving the news announced by Alice, the small nobles cheered excitedly.

Originally, they were also very nervous, worried that Gervais would take away the spoíls of war of the overwhelming majority. After all, if such wealth was placed in front of any of them, they felt that they would have other thoughts in their minds.

But now Alice actually said that Gervais was only going to take 400 warhorses, which means that each of them could get several warhorses, which made all the little nobles cheering for it. excitedly.

Amid the cheers of the little nobles, Alice’s face unconsciously showed a slight smile. Listening to their words of thanks to Gervais, she seemed to be like these people were thanking herself. So pleasant to the ears.

Next, Alice came to the center of the camp, surrounded by a group of small nobles.

Alice first asked her subordinates to select four hundred best-looking warhorses from the horse herd, which were reserved for Gervais.

After 400 warhorses were reserved, Alice began to distribute warhorses to the minor nobles.

However, because the minor nobles did not play in this battle to break Baiyan City, but all sent the same number of serfs to work, so it would not work if the spoíls of war were distributed according to merit.

Finally, Alice’s distribution method is based on the effect of searching for spoíls of war in Baiyan City.

As the name of a small nobleman was read out, these people came to Alice excitedly, and firstly thanked Alice respectfully, and then personally took the reins of the warhorse handed over by the next person, His own war horse was led down.

Because the Jones family has a large number of vassals, in fact, the number of war horses allocated to each vassal is not too many.

Among them, Gandalf and the others were the ones who got the most, each of them got a reward of six warhorses, and the other vassals basically ranged from three to four.

However, although the number of war horses obtained by the vassals is not large, everyone is very satisfied, with smiles on their faces, and the eyes looking towards war horses may be softer than those looking towards their own wives Sincerely, no one is dissatisfied.

You must know that before this trip, a small number of minor nobles rode ordinary horses to fight, and only those minor nobles with a little family property could ride middle and low-level war horses Fighting, like this High Level warhorse, is hard to buy even if they have money.

The whole assignment of spoíls of war took over an hour.

In the end, a total of more than 1,300 war horses were divided among the large and small nobles of the Jones family.

Among them, Gervais got 400 war horses, Alice got 300 war horses, and more than 600 war horses were distributed to hundreds of vassals.

This day was spent in a happy laughter and cheerful voices in the Jones family’s camp.

It’s night, north of the camp.

Tonight’s north camp is different than it used to be.

In the past, as long as it got dark, the entire northern camp would enter a curfew. Except for soldiers who needed to fight to follow their lords around the camp, everyone else had to stay in their tents. inside, otherwise execute without any mercy.

But today, the king personally ordered that the curfew at the camp tonight was lifted.

In addition to the lifting of the curfew, even those caravans that had been following the army’s rear were allowed to come to the camp to set up stalls and do business.

As for what kind of business it is, of course, it is selling beer plus the essential meat business.

After each war, the soldiers must be indulged. This is the unwritten rules of this world army, and it is also the best way for nobles to appease and reward their subordinates.

Ordinary soldiers have the indulgence of ordinary soldiers, and of course the great nobles also have their own leisure methods.

At this time, Gervais and Alice were sitting on a long table. The long table was full of various delicacies. Among them, a huge animal roasted to golden brown and fragrant was the most eye-catching.

And all around this long table are sitting the most powerful people of Jean dukedom. The first person sitting on the long table is King Lawrence, and the eight counts are sitting all. around.

To celebrate the breakthrough of Baiyan City today, the king specially invited the eight counts to have dinner together.

Originally Gervais didn’t want to go to the dinner because he felt very tired to sit and eat and drink with all the old foxes.

But there are two invitations from the kings to the Jones family camp this time, one of which is for Alice.

But the other copy, which surprised Gervais, was sent to him specifically.

The king personally sent an invitation to a small viscount, and he was not his direct vassal. If other small nobles found out about this, they would definitely vomit blood with jealousy.

But Gervais was an accident, but he didn’t take it seriously. This invitation only made Gervais hesitate a little whether he wanted to participate.

But just when Gervais hesitated, Alice told him that the king had specially killed a middle-class devil beast for this banquet.

In this way, Gervais, who had not tasted fresh devil beast meat for a long time, couldn’t help but be tempted to come to this dinner.

 …

When Gervais came to the dinner party, he encountered a more subtle thing, that is, the king specially arranged his position on the main table.

Besides the king, there are only eight counts on this long table. Even the king’s own son, the First Prince and the others, were not able to sit at this table, but were arranged to sit on the side. table with those count children.

This arrangement makes Gervais, who is already very famous now, the focus of everyone’s attention.

If it were other nobles, they might enjoy such a high-profile feeling very much, but Gervais is a guy who likes to keep a low profile, and this situation makes him a little uncomfortable.

And when the dinner started, as Gervais at first thought, it was pretty boring to sit and eat with a bunch of counts.

Gervais couldn’t get into what they were talking about at all. If it wasn’t for his cheap wife sitting next to him, Gervais would be ready to grab a bowl and find a corner to eat alone.

After eating several pieces of delicious devil beast meat, Gervais felt a little dry, so he took out a silver pot from his feet while everyone was not paying attention.

After taking the silver pot to the table, Gervais quickly moved towards filling his own silver cup, then looked at Alice’s silver cup and poured a cup for Alice.

This silver pot is filled with wine brought by Gervais himself, but because there are many people here, and it is a dinner hosted by the king, Gervais naturally cannot just and honorable take out the wine, otherwise this is Slapped the king.

Originally, Gervais thought that what he was doing was secret enough, but he didn’t expect it or was discovered by King Lawrence.

“Viscount Gervais, what is in your silver jug? Is it golden wine?”

Following the king’s question, the counts on the table also looked at them. on Gervais’ body.

Gervais felt a little embarrassed, but now that he was discovered by the king, he could only speak frankly.

“Yes, Your Majesty, it’s the golden wine!”

“oh?”

Hearing Gervais’ answer, the king was immediately interested.

“Viscount Gervais, I’ve been obsessed with your golden wine, didn’t expect you to have it here, can you also give me a few glasses?”

“… “

Gervais rolled the eyes.

Next, his golden wine was distributed by several Old Guys.

This wine was poured by the Lord of the North himself. When the jug returned to Gervais, there was not a drop left, which made Gervais so angry that he only cursed these great nobles Shameless.

However, what relieved him a little was that there were people at the long table who were in a worse mood than him, that is, Avery and Nemio, because the Lord of the North simply did not pour wine for them.

The mood of the two can be imagined.

This dinner was over an hour in total, and Gervais left after drinking and eating.

Because the king and the eight counts still had to discuss the plan of the Southern Expedition, Gervais wasn’t ready to join in the fun, so he wandered around the camp.

Gervais first came to the busiest part of the camp, where the caravans set up their stalls.

At this moment, both the petty nobles and the ordinary soldiers have let go of themselves, drinking beer while stopping the passing women and holding hands up and down, so happy.

Gervais has actually become accustomed to this kind of thing, this world is relatively open to this kind of thing, especially these ordinary soldiers at the bottom.

On the other side, the caravan dedicated to serving the nobles is much more elegant and quiet. Although there are still women and beer, but looking at the pretty women, you can tell that this is a high-end place. You can’t come here to have fun without aristocratic status.

Gervais even saw the First Prince and the count descendants having fun, each accompanied by a woman or two.

“What a colorful life!”

Gervais originally wanted to sit there for a while and get a glass of juice to drink, but after meeting First Prince and others, Gervais didn’t want to. Ready to go, so as not to be discouraged.

After giving up a drink, Gervais moved towards the woods by the river outside the camp. He wanted to take this time to try his Fireball Technique.

To be honest, Gervais didn’t release Fireball again, except that he released a Fireball Technique in Glory Manor that day.

Because since the beginning of Nanzheng, there are people around all the time, and there is no chance for him to study the various damage values of Fireball Technique.

Today’s situation is just right, everyone is so excited, there are silhouettes of fire everywhere, and it is not conspicuous to go to the woods to put a Fireball Technique.

So Gervais walked seven or eight minutes by moonlight, and soon came to a grove by the river.

After looking all around and making sure no one was around, Gervais was ready to start making ideas in his head.

wu~ wu~

“…”

Just as Gervais had conceived the Fireball Technique matrix and was about to inject energy into it, it was Suddenly he heard a woman’s whimper coming from the edge of the woods, and Gervais’s hands trembled in fright. He almost had a problem with the matrix in his mind, causing his spirit to suffer backlash.

“This is not a ghost at all!”

After Gervais reacted, he immediately dismissed the idea of releasing Fireball Technique, and moved towards the side in the direction of the sound go.

As Gervais walked around a corner blocked by a tree branch, he saw a silhouette sitting by the river.

“Damn it, don’t take it with you in the camp at night, what do you mean when you come out to be scary!”

When Gervais saw the silhouette clearly, he immediately recognized the squatting on the ground, covering his face. Who is the one who whimpered.

That fire-red long hair, hot body, who else could be a woman other than Caroline.

Especially the dress Gervais had just seen at the dinner party.

Gervais doesn’t understand, isn’t it normal for Caroline at the dinner party just now, why is she running here all alone and crying.

If it was before, Gervais wouldn’t mind meddling, just try his Fireball Technique in another place.

But things are different now. Caroline is also the granddaughter of the Lord of the North, and the Lord of the North has treated herself well since the southern expedition.

And last time, I had a conflict with First Prince and the others. The reason why Alice arrived so quickly was because this woman notified Alice, and I owe her a neither too big nor too small. ‘s favor.

So Gervais simply took two steps forward, ready to check the situation.

“Cough! Cough! I said, Miss Caroline, why don’t you stay in the camp at night and come here to play a ghost?”

Originally Caroline The existence of Gervais was not found, but upon hearing what Gervais said, Caroline quickly wiped away the tears on her face, and then stood up all of a sudden.

“Gervais? Who’s pretending to be a ghost! I’m by the river none of your business?”

“Haha, not a ghost, was Miss Caroline crying just now? ?haha, this is big news! I’m going back to share!”

Gervais laughed heartily.

“You…”

Caroline was speechless for a moment and could only stare at Gervais speechless fiercely.

“Is my proposal a good one, First Prince’s fiancee, Miss Caroline crying alone by the river, it must be a good talk!”

” Gervais, what do you want to do!”

Caroline was a little anxious, if it was really like what Gervais said, how could she meet people and become queen in the future.

“What don’t you want to do! I’m just thinking about why Miss Caroline is hiding here crying alone?”

“Let me think about it! Yes! Isn’t it because of the First Prince?”

After speaking, Gervais watched Caroline carefully by the moonlight, wanting to see why the girl was hiding and crying here.

When Gervais said the words First Prince and saw Caroline’s face again, he knew he had guessed right.

“Is it because the First Prince is having fun with other women all day?”

I’m sure Caroline is crying only because of emotional issues, so Gervais is not going to care anymore .

He’s not a Yue Lao, and it’s not about these things like repaying favors.

So, Gervais spoke again, ready to wait for Caroline to scold angrily, and she just left.

“Enough!”

But next moment, what makes Gervais speechless is that Caroline is indeed angry.

But after getting angry, he didn’t scold anyone, but continued to squat on the ground and cried bitterly.

Gervais felt bad all of a sudden, as if he had hit this girl!

“Hey! Caroline! It’s night! So many Alban dukedom soldiers were drowned during the day, maybe they’ve turned into ghosts in this river! Why don’t you go back to camp and cry ?”

Gervais reluctantly persuaded.

How could he know that he just rubbed Caroline’s dignity as a noble lady on the ground, making her feel endlessly humiliated!

“Aren’t you afraid? Then I’m leaving! Don’t blame me for not reminding you of being caught by a ghost in the river later!”

Gervais felt that he was here, This Caroline estimated that sorry got up and left, so she left a sentence, and then moved towards the direction of the camp.

“This day is almost over, how can I still encounter this kind of thing, I knew I shouldn’t have spoken to this woman just now, every time I meet her, it’s not good!”

Gervais slowly walked out a few dozen meters, seeing that Caroline seemed to have gotten up, so she felt relieved, and then continued to move towards the camp.

His mood to practice Fireball Technique is completely ruined now, so he is ready to go back to camp and wait for Alice to come out, and then go back to his camp to sleep.

After walking for more than a hundred meters, Gervais habitually glanced back again. It didn’t matter if he didn’t look, but after a glance, Gervais was startled.

I saw the woman Caroline moved towards the river and walked slowly.

“This is such a pit in the head!”

Gervais gnashing teeth, quickly turned and moved towards Caroline’s direction and ran.

Thanks for the rewards of “Sleep and Play” and “Small Blades”! ! !

I still owe 6 more updates!
