Gervosio had shatppe for a long time. The whole purpose of adalgisa is to produce one "good" guy and send him to the lanzanave throne so he can maintain ivory buildings.
I expect him to know some whacky spells that aren't thought in academy, only they ware developed and passed in lanzanave
Oh right... he was specifically raised in Yurgenschmidt for that. Slipped my mind for a moment.
WIth how Trauerquals father and his chosen successor both died, before they could pass the knowledge passed down verbally on, and how the only other way to learn this knowledge being to look it up in the Grutrissheit, which Trauerqual does not have, it doesn't even have to be spells developed in Lanzenave, but just spells that were only known to the royal family, that he now has access to, but Trauerqual and his sons do not.
From what Leonzio told Detlinde, at some earlier point, it's clear that Lanzenave kept at least some pieces of knowledge alive, even outside the direct line of king and successor, that are either lost in Yurgenschmidt, or kept secret among the royals these days.
I wonder if the royal family even realized that Lanzenave may have had some of that information. Maybe not possible to ask them without unacceptable risk, but it seems like they know very little about pretty much anything.
It would be rather awkward to ask. "Hey, I know the last contact my family and your country had, was to slaughter all of your princesses, their children - including your future king - and all their personell, potentially dooming your captial to fall apart in a generation or two, and I just refused to take on a new princess just last year, but could you tell us a bit more about my own country's past anyway, pretty please?"
