Chapter 36: The Transformation Chasing the Moon!

In high spirits, he shook the bell, and maid Caroline entered the room carrying a basin of clear water.

Originally, the castle had already recruited new servants, including ten maids.

Under such circumstances, attending to washing duties should not be Caroline's task.

Yet when Old John asked for Caroline's opinion, she actually refused.

Although even if she were willing, Gervas might not have agreed, her taking the initiative to reject Old John still surprised everyone.

"My lord, please punish me!"

Having just finished straightening Gervas's collar, Caroline immediately prostrated herself as agreed for the punishment.

Seeing this, Gervas raised his palm hard, yet let it fall gently.

Snap!

A faint sound came, waves rippling slightly, as captivating as a spring lake.

However, Gervas's palm did not lift immediately; instead, it pressed firmly against the lake.

During this process, maid Caroline merely bit her red lips tightly without making a sound, as if a tacit understanding had formed between master and servant.

"Hmm, enough! Today's punishment is over!" After five or six seconds, Gervas withdrew his hand.

There was no question asked about why three slaps became one, or why the duration of that single slap lasted five or six seconds.

Master and servant then went about their respective duties: Caroline went to fetch washing water, while Gervas headed to the dining hall to enjoy breakfast.

When Gervas finished breakfast, he originally wanted to ask if Eve had woken up, only to learn that Eve had already been training in the drill ground for probably two hours.

Hearing this, Lord Gervas could only awkwardly rub his nose, then head to the drill ground.

This drill ground was newly established, specifically opened for the newly recruited guards.

It was located on the open space beside the castle.

Not only were running tracks laid out, but equipment such as obstacles, a single-log bridge, parallel bars, horizontal bars, and dumbbells were constructed using wood and stones.

Compared to the simple teaching of techniques in this world, Gervas felt that the training methods from his past life might be more effective for rapidly increasing physical fitness.

Furthermore, if time permitted later, Gervas would also have his subordinates practice marching in step and forming ranks.

As a transmigrator, he simply could not tolerate the chaotic appearance of the guard formation.

Of course, all this was predicated on these soldiers being full-time professionals.

Over a hundred people eating without working; only a minor noble like Gervas would dare do such a thing, willing to spend the resources.

When he arrived at the drill ground, he found many guards watching Eve.

"What, are you all very free today? Not training, just watching the show?"

Gervas's sudden appearance startled the guards, who immediately rushed back to the open space to form ranks, while Lawrence began cursing.

Only Knight Commander Lei Meng and the five knights under Knight Mi Gen approached with smiles, unafraid that Gervas would blame them.

"My lord, yesterday I still found it strange that you would teach a girl archery, but now I truly admire you!" Mi Gen spoke first.

"Oh?" Gervas was puzzled.

Lei Meng smiled and said, "Lord Gervas, look! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I certainly wouldn't believe she was the girl who couldn't even draw a bow yesterday!"

Whoosh!

Thwack!

Just then, a sharp whistle sounded, and subsequently an arrow landed steadily embedded in the distant bullseye.

Although the distance was only twenty meters, one must remember that Eve still couldn't draw a bow yesterday.

Golden Bloodline is indeed awesome!

Gervas exclaimed inwardly.

And he vaguely suspected that Eve had likely awakened the Golden Eye.

Immediately, Gervas walked straight forward.

Eve was completely immersed in her shooting, unaware of what was happening behind her.

To speak of it, she herself found her state strange.

Last night, while half-asleep, she felt her eyes grow scorching hot.

At first, she thought she had a fever, but since the heat didn't last long, she didn't take it seriously.

And when she woke up this morning, seeing her sister following other maids to start cleaning, she took a loaf of black bread and came to the drill ground to practice shooting with peace of mind.

And upon practicing, she noticed something was wrong.

Yesterday, under her master's instruction, no matter what she did, she couldn't aim at the target.

But today, when she focused her gaze on the target, that bullseye which was originally only the size of an egg suddenly became as big as a watermelon.

She tried shooting an arrow, and it actually hit.

Although it was only on the edge, compared to yesterday's nine misses out of ten arrows, this was a world of difference.

Afterwards, she practiced shooting continuously without distraction.

If it weren't for her insufficient strength causing her arm to shake, Eve felt that every single arrow she shot would land directly on the center point of the bullseye!

"Very good, Eve!"

A familiar voice came from beside her ear, startling Eve.

"Master!"

"Eve, your progress today is truly unbelievable. Congratulations, you are one step closer to becoming a knight!"

"Master, this is all because of your teaching!" Eve lowered her head.

For a master who could let her sister live a stable life, and who did not even covet her body, Eve was already very satisfied.

She did not ask to become a true knight; she only wished for her sister to grow up safely.

"No, this is not my teaching, but because of your bloodline. Evlan, do you know that you possess the Golden Bloodline?"

Evlan was different from Caroline, not only in personality, but also in the roles Gervas needed them to play and their future achievements.

Therefore, Gervas could not hide the matter of the Golden Bloodline from Evlan; this could accelerate Evlan's growth speed.

Of course, Evlan's younger sister was her spiritual sustenance, so Gervas did not need to worry that Evlan would flee after gaining strength.

"Golden Bloodline?" Clearly, Evlan did not know.

Gervas immediately informed Evlan about the Golden Bloodline and the Golden Eyes.

Only then did Evlan recall that her father had apparently only become a Title Knight five or six years ago, and had subsequently become a Silver Knight.

And when she heard the servants flattering her, they all praised her father as a cultivation genius.

It was very likely that her father truly possessed this Golden Bloodline that my lord Gervas spoke of.

If it were not for the bandits' siege and her father's death in battle, he would likely have become even stronger in the future.

But now...

Gervas immediately noticed the change in Evlan's expression. "Evlan, do not be sad. From now on, as long as you grow stronger, even if it is to avenge your father, I will support you!"

Evlan's body trembled slightly as she looked gratefully at the man before her, who in past rumors was always described as an evil and terrifying noble of the kingdom.

He was so kind and benevolent...

After seeing Evlan, he naturally could not forget Zuiyue.

Yesterday, Zuiyue had hidden in the back garden, and Gervas had ordered others not to disturb her.

Now, it was unknown whether Zuiyue had truly undergone metamorphosis and evolution.

And when Gervas arrived at the back garden, he immediately showed surprise.

He saw that on Zuiyue's forehead, the horn which had originally been only a small bump had now grown to more than ten centimeters in height.

And Zuiyue's body size, which had originally been the height of an ordinary warhorse, had now grown to two and a half meters, comparable to a Fire Steed!
