Chapter 236: Why Bring Sheep?
Ma Kesi has left!
He left very happily!
Because with this Magic Electric Fan taken back, the liability of not having obtained more telescopes absolutely no longer exists.
Moreover, Gervas also proved his ability with the Magic Electric Fan.
To be honest, Ma Kesi also looked down a bit on border minor nobles.
If it were not for the Hou Jue's reason, his attitude would definitely not have been so good.
But after 'learning' that Gervas was a capable border minor noble, he had already given sufficient respect in his heart at this moment.
And when Ma Kesi was leaving, Gervas also had a carpenter rush to make a wooden stand, which could facilitate the placement of the Magic Electric Fan!
Of course, Gervas only provided one idea; if the Hou Jue later wanted a more exquisite and luxurious stand, he could have someone make it himself, as there was no technical content anyway.
And Gervas will also launch matching bases in the future.
This time it was mainly that Ma Kesi came too conveniently, and the Magic Electric Fan had just been finished.
Gervas had not yet had time to arrange other matching items!
"My Lord Gervas, thank you for your care!"
After Ma Kesi left, Overseer Ku Po could not help but express his gratitude to Gervas.
Today, Gervas had actually refused Ma Kesi's request for his sake.
Behind him stood true kingdom dignitaries.
If it were himself, Overseer Ku Po felt he could not possibly do it!
Even let alone him.
He believed that ninety-nine percent of the nobles in this kingdom could not be like Gervas.
Of course, Overseer Ku Po did not know that in the mind of Gervas, a transmigrator.
There was fundamentally no deeply rooted concept of hierarchy in this world.
Dukes, marquises, generals, and ministers, those did not exist.
At most, it was simply knowing clearly that the other party's strength was greater than one's own.
As for making oneself lick them unconditionally, or even sacrificing interests, that was also impossible.
And regarding this matter, except for Hou Jue Marshal Mi Xiusi, no one in the capital would remember his kindness.
So, fair trade, avoiding one's own losses, why not do it!
Moreover, given Hou Jue Marshal Mi Xiusi's temperament, he obviously would not hold this matter against him.
Especially since Gervas also gave a Magic Electric Fan!
"Overseer Ku Po! Do not be so excited, this is merely my Gervas's principle of doing business!"
Gervas appeared as if the wind was light and the clouds were calm.
Of course, the more he was like this, the more Overseer Ku Po revered and looked up to Gervas.
"Overseer Ku Po, speaking of which, your Black Bear Trading House deals in slave trading; can you help me keep an eye out for slave jewelers next?"
"My Lord Gervas, do you want to purchase jewelers?"
"That is right, the more the better, and their craftsmanship had better be exquisite!"
Now the situation regarding the telescopes has been opened up.
What limits Gervas from making money is the production volume, so he needs to continue recruiting jewelry craftsmen.
But unfortunately, jewelers in this world are not many; after all, jewelers serve dignitaries, so the number of job positions is not particularly large.
"Viscount Gervas, although slave jewelers are not very common, I will help you inquire; if there is news later, I will definitely notify you immediately!"
"Good!"
Just like that, Overseer Ku Po did not stay long, and led his team to set off on the return journey.
With the matter of the telescopes resolved, Gervas was about to begin arranging the real major affairs.
Fario's father, a cabinet official, had actually hooked up with Lord Pa Ke.
And had made him the true target, so Gervas was not preparing to be polite.
Although nobles cannot kill nobles, otherwise it is a serious crime.
However, in this intelligence, Gervas had also obtained a good opportunity.
As long as it is operated properly, it might allow Lord Pa Ke to lose his life while perfectly removing the name of killing Lord Pa Ke from himself.
"What? Viscount Pa Ke will attack Iron Mine Mountain again? My Lord, last time you were merciful and did not let us pursue him, yet he dares to come?"
"Yes, My Lord, if this time he really dares to risk attacking our Storm Territory, then you must severely deal with him, otherwise he will really think you are a lord with no temper!"
Upon learning that Viscount Pa Ke was going to launch another attack on Iron Mine Mountain, the knights immediately erupted into a commotion.
Knight Mi Gen and others could not help but curse loudly.
"Knight Mi Gen, you speak well; this time we indeed must severely deal with him!"
"Moreover, do you know why he suddenly has the confidence to come find trouble with us?" Gervas said.
"My Lord, why?"
"Because he has already hooked up with Fario's father, namely Wei La De, the cabinet official of Eagle City!"
"The intelligence gathered by Moon Chaser is that this time, after Wei La De learned of our conflict with Lord Pa Ke, he secretly contacted Viscount Pa Ke and, through bribery, bought off a certain dignitary in Eagle City."
"Secretly mobilized fifty light cavalrymen to come and participate in the battle!"
"Lord Pa Ke has actually hooked up with Fario's father? And sent fifty cavalrymen? My Lord, they are coming for you!"
Lei Meng, the Knight Commander who had not spoken much, immediately frowned and took the lead in giving a warning.
Fifty light cavalrymen were absolutely not opponents to be dealt with easily.
"I know. So, this time, those fellows' attack on the Iron Mine was a ruse; luring me out is the real goal!" Gervas nodded.
"These damn fellows, they are actually coming for you, my lord! That means it is a hatred to the death!!"
"My lord, perhaps you should not leave the castle! Let their plan fail, and after the fact, we can request support from Count Violet!"
Knight Mi Gen and the other knights instantly turned ashen, their eyes filled with ferocity.
It was still the same saying: if it were merely a simple border conflict, that would not be an issue, something common among nobles.
But if it is directly targeting the lord himself, this is an attempt to dig up the root of Storm Domain, to dig up the root of us, their Guardian Knights.
Therefore, this matter makes people angrier than killing themselves.
"No need. A mere fifty light cavalry, not five hundred light cavalry. Since we know in advance, we have absolutely no need to fear them!"
"Have you forgotten? We have Barbarian Warriors!"
The subordinates' eyes lit up.
The suggestion for Gervas to stay in the castle was because they did not want their own lord to take risks.
But if they could truly thoroughly destroy those fellows who dared to plot the annihilation of Storm Domain, these knights would be only too eager!
"My lord, then what do we need to do?"
"Give the order: the entire army is to prepare for battle. All leave is cancelled. All weapons and equipment are to be inventoried and organized immediately!"
"After lunch, besides leaving a hundred nominal troops in the castle and the town, the rest of the units are to secretly advance toward the Iron Mine. Remember, avoid detection and go in batches!"
"Yes, my lord!"
"By the way, I have already had Old John prepare twenty sheep. Have the soldiers take them along when they go! Remember, these sheep are very important; they must not be lost!"
"Twenty sheep? My lord, what are the sheep for?"
Hearing this sudden order, which sounded quite important, the subordinates were stunned!
"This is the key to destroying Viscount Pa Ke. I will tell you in the evening!"
Gervas did not explain directly.
Afterwards, the subordinates all went to carry out the orders according to instructions.
And after Gervas had instructed his subordinates, there was temporarily nothing else for him to worry about. Thus, he summoned Chasing Moon and headed toward the Death Mountain Range.
As for the Lightning Fruit, Gervas certainly would not miss it!
