Chapter 68: Accelerate Cultivation Speed!
Three hours passed unnoticed, and Gervas stopped cultivating.
The Battle Qi Breathing Method consumes perception heavily; in the state of a Bronze Knight, three hours would cause fatigue.
Returning to the third floor, the maid Caroline had already prepared warm bathwater as usual!
"You've worked hard, Caroline! Go to sleep!"
Caroline bit her red lips lightly, had to lower her head and respond, then withdrew and left.
By all rights, serving my lord in the bath is also a servant's job.
But since arriving in the territory, whether back when she initially disliked my lord Gervas,
or now when she has begun to like my lord Gervas,
my lord has never allowed her to enter the bathroom to scrub his back.
Even though she hinted at it two days ago, she was still ignored, leaving Caroline somewhat troubled and somewhat uneasy.
And Gervas naturally understood the thoughts of his personal maid.
But Gervas did not intend to eat the grass by his own nest.
Although the maid has been domesticated, her utilitarianism is too strong.
Before finding a 'rightful mistress' who can suppress her, if he ate the grass by his own nest, the castle would surely fall into chaos.
After Caroline left, Gervas comfortably soaked into the bathtub.
He had sweated a lot after cultivating, and soaking in warm bubbles could relieve fatigue.
But just then, faint footsteps came from behind.
Although they were cautious, they could not escape Gervas's ears.
Could it be Caroline?
"Caroline, why have you come back?" Gervas asked.
But Gervas quickly became alert, because there was no answer from behind, and the footsteps instead continued to approach.
The castle had guards and knights on duty, but it was not truly foolproof.
Gervas slowly reached for the Mao Jin.
When he felt the footsteps behind were less than one and a half meters away, his arm suddenly swung, flinging the Mao Jin toward the rear.
Splash!
The Mao Jin carried a large spray of water, sweeping toward the back at extreme speed.
And Gervas took the opportunity to rise, preparing to rush toward the longsword in the corner of the wall.
"Ah!"
A cry of surprise came from behind, and Gervas froze in place.
"Rose?" Having lived together for so many days, Gervas was quite familiar with Rose's voice.
Stopping and turning his head, the one who came was indeed his castle chef.
"Rose, why have you come here?" Gervas was puzzled.
Chef Rose first glanced at Gervas, her face instantly flushed red, and she quickly lowered her head.
"I... I..." Rose was stumped by the question, but thinking of her purpose, she gritted her teeth and simply spoke the truth, "I have come to help my lord accelerate his cultivation speed!"
Gulp!
Good heavens! Gervas exclaimed, "Good heavens!"
Anyone else might not understand those words.
But Gervas naturally understood what accelerating cultivation speed meant... well, it means accelerating cultivation speed, ahem!
After Rose spoke those words, she seemed to have thrown caution to the wind.
Her gaze fixed on Gervas again, and her body stood straighter.
She had come to help Gervas cultivate, and she was already rather slender.
Just now splashed by a large amount of water, her graceful figure was instantly revealed.
"Rose, are you sure? I do not force you, do not have any burden!"
Gervas had indeed acted because of the Magic Potion Bloodline, but after saving Rose, he did not use it to blackmail her.
This was the bottom line brought to him by good education from his past life.
His plan was to make contact for a few months or half a year to increase familiarity, and then decide based on the situation later.
Rose was moved. "My lord, I am sure, I am willing to help you accelerate your cultivation!"
(Words omitted here; please understand, dear readers!)
Time turned, and it came to five days later.
Morning sunlight spread across the bed, and Gervas, having slept comfortably all night, felt refreshed and clear-minded.
It must be said, the Magic Potion Bloodline is truly formidable; once is at least equivalent to Gervas's ten days of cultivation.
During these five days, Gervas increased his cultivation speed every day with Rose's help.
Plus, with the nourishment of the Magic Potion and the Colored Wing Goose Egg, five days of cultivation equaled at least two months originally.
Although it is hard to believe, the Fantasy World is just that unreasonable.
Another thing worth mentioning is that Gervas's intelligence system has undergone new changes.
Five days ago, after completing cultivation with Rose's assistance for the first time, the intelligence system popped up a new message the next day.
It informed the host that the intelligence system's beginner period had ended, and it was now entering the formal intelligence period.
At first, Gervas was startled, worrying whether this system's intelligence would collapse.
Later he discovered it was just that the previously very concentrated super-high-value intelligence had become high-value intelligence waves that appeared only every few days.
Such a change, while a bit of a waste of time, but then again.
In a past life, I already suffered the blessings of 996; having finally arrived in this world, am I to work 007 on a continuous rotation?
For instance, just a few days ago, I was running around outside from dawn till dusk.
Therefore, receiving good news from the intelligence every few days not only benefits my own rest.
It also gives me more time to manage the territory, so I don't have to run myself ragged; after all, good things will still come.
Just this morning, another piece of valuable system intelligence arrived.
【Ding, daily intelligence has refreshed...】
【Intelligence One: Your Guardian Knight Captain Lei Meng has reached the edge of a breakthrough bottleneck; he only needs a slight opportunity to break through from a Bronze Knight to a Silver Knight.
The mainstream breakthrough methods in the Kingdom are consuming breakthrough potions or potent magical herb fruits.】
【Intelligence Two: At the rocky hill on the edge of the Death Forest, a Flame Fruit will ripen this morning. The Flame Fruit contains extremely dense fire-attribute power, making it the best supplement for Fire-attribute Title Knights or Mages; it can be used to increase the Battle Qi realm or utilized during a break through to the next realm.
It is worth noting that a Second-Order Fire-Swallowing Python has long set its sights on this Flame Fruit and has been waiting for quite some time; to obtain the Flame Fruit, you must first eliminate it!】
【Intelligence Three: The blood shed by the Great Dragon when it was injured was not only on the rocky hill; in fact, a large amount of Great Dragon blood also splashed onto the grass in the cliff valley on the western side of the rocky hill.
After days of mutation, a prototype of a Dragon Blood Grass field has formed there.
If irrigated continuously for three days with Swan Lake spring water, supplying sufficient elements and mana, the Dragon Blood Grass will undergo a complete mutation and advance successfully, becoming a true First-Order Magical Herb, Dragon Blood Grass!
True Dragon Blood Grass can then help all herbivorous creatures containing Great Dragon bloodlines increase their bloodline content.
For example, if Flame Horses are fed Dragon Blood Grass over a long period, they will inevitably break through and become Magical Beasts in the future.
Furthermore, the feeding method for Dragon Blood Grass remains effective long-term on creatures containing Great Dragon bloodlines below the Sixth Order.】
(The system's changes will not affect the plot; they are merely a time patch. Otherwise, the timeline would be too slow, making it feel too tight for the readers. So, dear readers, do not worry; the story remains the same as before and will not change!)
