Chapter 40: Horseback Riding (Asking for Subscription~Asking for a Monthly Pass~)

Early in the morning, Jason, who had stayed up all night and had been reading all night, put down his book at Gerald's knock on the door.

"Morning, Jason."

"Where's Denis?"

"Didn't you open that little door?"

As soon as he entered the room, Gerard looked left and right, and after not seeing Denise, the ruler of Hans's harbor looked at his cousin with suspicion on his face.

He thinks Jason must have just returned from Denise's room.

Unfortunately, his upbringing made it impossible for him to open the bedroom door to check it out.

As for the open book in the study?

Dissemble!

He'd done that a lot before.

"Let's go!"

Not seeing the expected scene, it did not diminish Gerald's enthusiasm in the slightest, stopped Jason's shoulder, and walked downstairs.

"Where are we going?"

"Have breakfast?"

Jason asked.

He could already smell milk, bacon, vegetables.

"Of course not!"

Gerald took Jason's shoulders and walked out of the main building.

The waiters along the way saw that the two of them had retreated to both sides and bowed.

The eyes of those relatives who got up early flashed with envy and jealousy again.

But no one dared to show anything in front of Gerrard.

Then, rounding several flower beds, Gerald led Jason to a wide field.

Looking at the rows of stables in the distance and the knights who had already started to run the horses, Jason instantly understood what Gerald wanted to do.

Learn to ride a horse!

In fact, Jason is not against this study.

The era of the seaports of Lorde and Hanse was destined to learn the importance of horseback riding.

Immediately, Jason adjusted his mentality.

Looking at his cousin, who went from surprise to eagerness, Gerald smiled.

How can a man not like horseback riding?

Arima is one of the most important parts of a boy's transformation into a man.

The absence of a horse represents the man's life choices when he has grown to a considerable extent.

And Jason will start with the basics.

"Go get S1-003's horse."

After Gerald instructed the person in charge of the horse farm, he turned his head and continued to say to Jason: "The most important thing in riding a horse is waist and abdominal strength!" โ€

"Then, you have to approach your horse from the left front, you have to make sure that it can see you, and you have to be gentle and not to scare it."

"In stirrups, just put the front half of your foot in it."

"The reins are the ones you need to hold onto."

Gerald explained to Jason in detail.

Jason listened intently.

Jason, who knows the importance of learning, is not perfunctory.

But when the person in charge of the horse farm approached Jason with a muscular white horse, Jason, who had not yet eaten breakfast, subconsciously thought, "Is horse meat delicious?" โ€

Wow!

As if he had encountered the greatest natural enemy, the docile white horse instantly stood still, saying nothing and no longer approaching Jason.

The person in charge of the horse farm tugged the reins, but to no avail, and instead caused the horses to retreat again and again.

Gerald watched in amazement.

Then, laugh.

"Worthy of my cousin."

"An ordinary horse can't be your mount at all."

"Go and bring the 'war horse'."

Gerald said to the head of the racecourse.

"Yes, sir."

After answering the answer, the person in charge of the racecourse quickly took back the white horse.

Then, head to the separate stables on the other side.

"Jason, have you ever studied the occult arts?"

In this emptiness, Gerald asked suddenly.

Obviously, the ruler of Hanse Harbour had misunderstood something when he saw the scene just now.

"Learned."

Jason said calmly.

Such facts do not need to be hidden.

Because, Jason knows very well that in the days to come, he will show the power of the mysterious side.

When the main quest changes from "Arrive at Hans' harbor and attend the wedding by the 26th" at sunrise today, Jason knows what he's going to face in the coming week.

That scene from last night was already quite obvious.

The seemingly calm Hanse harbor is actually turbulent.

There are too many forces staring at this.

And as Gerald's cousin?

Naturally, he was also targeted.

Want to stay out of the way?

Unless the main quest is abandoned.

But this is not possible.

Jason would never face that unknown punishment.

Therefore, he will cooperate with Gerrard as much as possible.

Only then will there be more chances of winning.

Gerald frowned slightly when he heard the expected answer.

"Have you studied?"

"It's a bit of a hassle."

Gerald frowned.

According to Gerald's idea, his cousin must of course be like himself, starting with the most basic griffin swordsmanship, griffin shooting, and griffin fighting skills, and then learning griffin forging skills, during which he will cooperate with Charles Burning Technique, Blair Expulsion Technique, etc., and finally learn ritual summoning griffins.

However, when Jason had already studied other secrets, this idea was undoubtedly shattered.

At the very least, the study of griffon's forging technique requires caution.

And if the griffin forging technique can't be learned, naturally it can't learn the ritual summoning griffin.

However, Gerald immediately furrowed his brow.

He didn't want Jason to deduce anything bad from his expression.

His cousin has suffered too much.

It should not be endured anymore.

"I know the clash of mysticism."

Seeing that Gerald was about to stretch after frowning, so that the corners of his eyes twitched, Jason said with a smile.

"You know?"

"Looks like you know more about the mystery side than I do."

"But don't worry, I'm here."

Gerald looked at his cousin's indifferent smile and felt inexplicably distressed.

What kind of hardships did you endure to have this open-mindedness?

So, the ruler of Hanse Harbour made a decision in the next moment:

"Even if it is a conflict between the 'Griffin', there is always one of the 'Cat Cave', 'Bear Tower', 'Wolf Castle', 'Snake Cave', 'Eagle Cliff' and 'Tiger Mountain'!"

"And if none of that works?"

"Then find a single powerful non-conflicting secret technique!"

"Assemble a set for Jason!"

Thinking of this, the ruler of Hanse Harbor also laughed.

As for what to do?

The Hans seaport, known as the 'pearl' of the Confederation, has a characteristic that all the federal lords, new nobles, etc. cannot ignore and are extremely enviable: rich!

A port that controls the sea.

A steady stream of spices and sugar, like gold, is constantly flowing into the Hanse harbor.

As long as it can be solved with money, it is not a thing.

And if you can't solve it with money?

Gerald looked at the black war horse brought by the head of the horse farm and walked over with a smile.

The tall warhorse glared at Gerald in a daze.

Even if he was pulled by the reins, he still wanted to bite Gerald.

Gerald motioned to the head of the horse farm to release the reins, and then, turning to Jason, said:

"War horses are different from ordinary horses."

"You have to have, special taming skills."

The voice fellโ€”

Bang!

Gerald knocked the black horse to the ground with a single punch.
