Chapter 297: There's a Busy Day Ahead!

【Ding! Daily information has refreshed!】

【Information One: Over two months ago, you handed the cannon blueprints to Thomas.

Although the use of the cannon was not explained, the my lord's orders are the highest directives for subordinates.

This blueprint was eventually passed to the Chief Blacksmith, Ru Ka.

Through two hours of dedicated research and experimentation after work every day, Chief Blacksmith Ru Ka has finally completed the cast iron pouring for the cannon barrel.

After polishing, this morning, the first cannon in this other world has been born!】

【Information Two: After three weeks of recovery, the six griffins have fully recovered.

With their strength restored, they are no longer content and think of returning to the sky at all times.

This has caused great trouble for the servants who feed them, and it is time to solve the problem.】

【Information Three: At Kara Hill on the southeast side of Storm Domain, a precious third-tier Magic-Eating Beast will appear today!

Of course, do not be misled by its name.

Actually, the "magic" it devours refers to the magic of medicinal plants, not the magic of demons.

This magical beast has another nickname: the killer of medicinal plants.

They survive by specializing in devouring medicinal plants, rising from the first tier stage.

Once, someone even claimed to have encountered an eighth-tier Magic-Eating Beast!

People speculate that a Magic-Eating Beast capable of reaching the eighth tier has likely swallowed over one hundred thousand medicinal plants!

Therefore, people's attitude toward the Magic-Eating Beast is to kill without mercy.

Especially since the flesh and blood of this Magic-Eating Beast contains a large amount of pure energy left behind after devouring medicinal plants, making it the best supplement for Title Knights.

For instance, right now, if you can capture and eat it, you can break through the bottleneck early and reach the Silver Knight realm.】

【Information Four: Thirty li off the coastline of Viscount Wyatt's Domain, one hundred li from Storm Domain, there is an uninhabited island.

This location sits exactly at one of the ocean current circulation nodes.

Last night, the ocean current carried a three-masted sailing ship from the deep sea to this spot.

This is a brand new and strange sailing ship.

If no one discovers it, it will be carried away by the ocean current and pushed into the deep sea at the latest within two days!】

【Information Five: Adams' campaign to exterminate pirates is making a huge stir.

In fact, besides establishing his own authority, he also wants to eliminate forces on the sea that are unfavorable to him.

For example, the pirates who previously plotted to plunder his batch of honey.

Of course, unfortunately, among the more than ten pirate groups he exterminated, the true culprit who robbed his honey was not among them.

However, one prisoner among these pirates, in order to save his life, confessed the identity of that pirate gang targeting Adams.

After receiving the news, Adams, after a brief rest, set sail with his fleet again and will arrive at the pirates' stronghold today.

It is just that what Adams does not know is that this is actually a trap.

Waiting for him are not only the pirates who robbed his honey, but a full twelve pirate gangs.

They are pirates who were united by someone after feeling threatened by Adams' campaign to exterminate pirates.

This allied force has gathered more than thirty ships of various sizes, preparing to annihilate Adams and his fleet.】

【Information Six: News of Japas' death has reached the Royal Capital.

Upon learning that his confidant had died, and moreover died on the edge of Storm Domain, the Second Prince found it very suspicious!

Although evidence indicates dark creatures were responsible, the Second Prince still feels it is too coincidental and has begun to suspect you!

Fortunately, at this moment, the appearance of one person cleared your name: the Church!

The Church learned of Japas' plight and expounded on the divine decree the Holy See had received long ago: that an evil aura has appeared on the kingdom's southeastern border.

Therefore, the rampant dark creatures are not man-made, but a natural disaster.

Japas' death is one of the innocent victims of this evil invasion.

And if not resolved, it will only grow worse in the future.

Of course, the Church is not doing this for you, but hopes the Second Prince will support the Church in heading to the kingdom's southeastern border to curb the evil invasion of dark creatures!】

【Ding! Daily information refresh complete...】

Time passed, seven or eight days went by.

As Gervas slowly woke up, a ding-ding sound came from his mind.

After listening to today's information, Gervas immediately exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

What a good day this is!

Could it be that the God of Glory has visited Storm Domain?

Let alone the rare cannon.

The Magic-Eating Beast that can let one break through directly to become a Silver Knight, and that three-masted sailing ship pushed by the ocean current.

Is any one of these not a surefire blessing from heaven?

"It's still you, System, who are reliable; otherwise, no matter who transmigrates, they really cannot think of turning things around in this other world! Because it's too hard!"

One week ago, after returning from Hou Jue's Domain, Gervas calculated the expenses of that trip.

The result, totaling two hundred fully armed cavalrymen, cost him four thousand one hundred gold coins.

This huge expenditure directly consumed most of the gold coins he had received from Lord Pa Ke and the tribal savages.

Although he has industries like white sugar, monocular telescopes, magic fans, and so on to make money, even if those gold coins run out, he will not face a shortage of funds.

But thinking about the future, if he wants to expand his strength, won't he have to pour in a massive amount of gold coins?

Two hundred light cavalrymen cost four thousand gold coins.

If it were one thousand light cavalrymen, wouldn't that require twenty thousand gold coins?

What if it were ten thousand light cavalry?

Or heavy cavalry?

So, the more he thought about it, the more alarmed he became.

Why did Gervas feel that after only a few good days since crossing over, he had to start making money like a beast of burden again?

Of course, if any other noble knew Gervas's thoughts, they would surely curse him as mad.

After all, looking across the entire kingdom, which great family did not rely on the accumulation of several generations?

Ten thousand light cavalry; even the Hernand family could not produce them.

Yet Gervas actually dared to dream of such a thing?

At that moment, Gervas did not linger in bed; after all, today would be busy.

Especially that unlucky child Adams, who was about to be schemed against again.

Come to think of it, why did he not make a deal with his younger brother back then?

In that case, he would not have to go to so much trouble himself.

Of course, complaints aside, if he could choose again, Gervas would definitely still choose Adams.

Because Adams had good character, and most importantly, behind him stood only the Austin family.

Whereas his younger brother had the Hernand family behind him as well.

If he cooperated with him regarding white sugar, he would easily be swallowed whole, leaving not even a crumb.

Ding-ling-ling!

"Good morning, my lord!"

"Good morning, my lord!"

Two pretty maids walked gracefully into the bedroom.

The maid Rebekah has now fully adapted to castle life.

Especially her experience in serving has grown so sufficient that she is no longer as clumsy as in the past.

This also maximized the experience for Gervas, the lord.

Moreover, Gervas also discovered that Rebekah carried a faint fragrance.

This scent was different from Freya's.

Freya's scent, paired with her fiery personality, was somewhat like a rose—gorgeous and full of vitality.

But Rebekah's scent, paired with her obedient and innocent appearance, was like a faint jasmine tea—fresh and pleasant.
