Chapter Seventy-Three: Preparation (Four Watches ~ Asking for Subscriptions ~ Asking for Monthly Passes ~)
Piper!
The end of an era also represents the beginning of an era.
Maybe the other party is not worthy of respect and worship.
But the sign that the other party represents is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, when hearing the name, the people in the cottage have different expressions.
Peters shuddered.
Gerald was dignified.
Jason playful.
Denis?
I don't understand, and continue to gnaw on the bones.
"Piper, why do you want to see Jason?"
Gerald asked in a deep voice as he stared at Hume.
The Piper, who used to care the most and was the most formidable opponent.
Not one of them.
The strength of the other party is still fresh in Gerald's memory until now.
If it weren't for the many opportunities created by his old friend at that time, he would have no chance of defeating the other party at that time.
In the normal state, the ability of the other party has long exceeded the imagination of ordinary people and ordinary 'mysterious side' people.
Or to be more precise......
That's not the power that 'people' can have.
At this moment, the other party wants to see his cousin.
For the first time, Gerald felt threatened.
At all times, Gerald was confident that his cousin would be safe and sound as long as he was around.
But what if it's a piper?
He has no faith!
Gerald's aura fluctuated slightly.
Suddenly, the kitten cub was suppressed by Gerald's breath or ...... Crushing.
The kitten's whole body trembled, and fine beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Silently, Peters dodged in front of the kitten.
Suddenly, the breath that rushed towards the kitten cub was intercepted by the 'Cat Hole' swordsman.
At this time, the kitten cub breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't know!"
"I'm just a messenger."
The kitten looked at Gerald, his eyes full of fear, but he still answered truthfully.
Gerald had no doubts about this.
He knew that the piper would not make a mistake in such a thing.
Since the kitten cub was chosen as the messenger.
Naturally, the kitten doesn't know anything.
Look at the kitten's injuries.
If you were an ordinary person, you would have died several times.
Still, Gerald asked.
"Why did you pass the word?"
He was probing.
"I want to get out of the 'Revival Society'!"
"Some people are like me!"
"But, we failed!"
"We were imprisoned, imprisoned, tortured, and the piper told me that if I gave a message, he would release ten of them."
The kitten confessed.
Very much in line with the style of the piper.
Gerald nodded.
"Don't trust him."
"He never kept his word."
Said the harbor keeper.
"I know."
"But do I have a choice?"
"When the Piper shows up, we can't help ourselves."
The kitten cub said lightly, he forced himself not to show any feelings, but his face was still full of unwillingness, sadness and a trace of overwhelm.
The 'Cat Cave' swordsman raised his hand and touched the kitten's head.
He wanted to give a guarantee.
But he couldn't.
Not to mention unspeakable.
can only be silently comforted.
But the kitten cub raised his hand and slapped the palm of the 'cat hole' swordsman away.
"Mixed ......"
The kitten cub is used to scolding.
But after just saying a word, when he looked at the 'Cat Cave' swordsman standing in front of him, with the same unwillingness, sadness, and more overwhelmed on his face, he couldn't scold anymore.
Both of them stood there, both silent.
Suddenly, the 'Cat Cave' swordsman asked:
"Do you want to eat dried fish?"
As he spoke, the 'Cat Hole' swordsman took out a small dried fish from his body.
"Bastard!"
"You know how to eat!"
Once again, the kitten swung its scabbard and knocked the 'Cat Hole' swordsman to the ground.
Then, angrily, he walked to the corner of the room.
Looking at the 'Cat Hole' swordsman who was smashed to the ground, Gerald couldn't help but shake his head.
It's clumsy.
The harbour keeper commented.
Then, turning his head, he looked at the pensive Jason.
"What are you going to do, Jason?"
Gerald asked his cousin.
He doesn't take matters into his own hands for his cousin.
He just needs to know what his cousin wants to do, and then he just cooperates.
If you go to see the piper, he will accompany him.
And if not?
That's gone.
As for the piper?
Gerald was more than happy to see something like this.
An annoyed opponent is far easier to deal with than a calm opponent.
Although he could not completely replicate the layout of his old friend, it was not impossible to rely on the strength accumulated in the harbor to inflict another heavy blow on the Piper.
That's it......
The advantages that have just been gained are all gone.
Even, even worse.
Still, Gerard didn't hesitate.
He waited for Jason's answer.
"It's not as bad as you think."
Jason replied.
Sugar is not so tasty.
Even the Pied Piper has a hard time getting rid of that weirdness.
In other words, the other party wants to see him, just hoping to use his hand to get rid of that weirdness.
There is a possibility that the other party will be injured.
It is also possible to be deeply tormented.
Either way, it's good for you.
But that's not what Jason was thinking.
Jason was thinking-
Is the timing of the other party's appearance a bit of a coincidence?
As soon as Gerald's morale was boosted and he gained a certain advantage, the Pied Piper appeared.
Regardless, Jason felt that there was something wrong with it.
Seem......
The cooperation between the 'Renaissance Society' and the 'New Federation' is deeper than expected.
The other side is almost cooperating with the 'New Federation'.
Think about the time when the piper, who should have died, appeared again.
It is also necessary to change before and after the 'Revival Society'.
"Was it in the second war, dying and captured?"
"Still ......"
"The piper who appeared at this time is not a real piper at all?"
Jason thought and informed Gerald of his thoughts.
"The Pied Piper will not be captured."
"Although the other party is a bastard and never keeps his word, the other party will never let himself be captured."
"I've seen the investigation in Taor City, and that kind of power does belong to the piper, and others can't fake it at all."
Gerald gave this answer.
"Is that so?"
Jason's eyes narrowed slightly.
Another, no, possibility, popped up unconsciously in his mind.
However, Jason did not express these thoughts.
He hid it in his heart, and then he looked at Hume.
"When and where will the Piper meet me?"
Jason asked.
"Tomorrow at noon."
"Octopus Tavern."
The kitten replied.
"I'll go with you."
Gerald said immediately.
"The Piper is the only one with Jason."
The kitten added, which made the harbor lord frown, and just as Gerald was about to say something, Jason shook his head slightly.
"Sometimes, I'm better alone."
For example......
Sugar!
