Chapter Twenty-Three: Gerard (Asking for a Subscription ~ Asking for a Monthly Pass ~)
"Let's get out of here!"
Looking at Jason, who was standing still, Denise urged.
It's just that Jason's gaze jumped over Denise and looked in the direction of Hans Harbor.
The deceased girl subconsciously turned back.
Immediately, three rapidly approaching war horses came into view.
Run?
It's absolutely impossible to run.
Although he is not very smart, Dennis also knows that he can't outrun the warhorse.
So......
Denis, crouching down with her head in her hands and her face on her knees, began to whisper in her mouth, "You can't see me!" You can't see me! ”
And with such muttering, Denise's body quickly became looming, as if invisible.
Jason's eyes swept away.
Much better than the last time it was hidden.
At the very least, he needed to look intently to find out.
Then, Jason's eyes looked at the three war horses that were already less than ten meters away.
Three knights on the horses, one red and two black.
Red in front and black in the back, both in the uniforms of the Union Army.
The leader also wore a white wig, and in order to prevent the wig from falling, a top hat with a folded brim and a huge red down was fastened on the top of his head, and a rope was pulled down on both sides of the brim and put on his chin, and the red down swayed up and down as the horse galloped, looking like a cockscomb.
Sigh!
With a tug of the reins, the horse came to a steady stop about two meters in front of Jason, and the red knight on the horse jumped down neatly.
As soon as the smooth black boots hit the ground, a smile appeared on the other party's face when they looked at Jason.
"Hello, Mr. Jason."
"I'm the sheriff of Hans Harbor, Boft."
"I'm really glad to see you in person, considering that His Excellency Gerald has been mentioning your cousin a lot lately."
Unexpectedly, the other party said very politely.
Gerrard?
My cousin?
In Jason's mind, the cousin who claimed to be unable to find black and could only write a false description in blue popped up in Jason's mind.
Of course, the most important thing is the expression '(??????)??'.
This one made him feel like a funny cousin, and seemed to have an extraordinary influence in Hans Harbor?
With doubts in his heart, Jason remained silent.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Including the coachman I hired before?"
Jason asked.
"Of course."
"Peters is a heinous wanted criminal."
"But you're not!"
"You are the cousin of Lord Gerald, and you have come to attend the wedding of Lord Gerald."
The sheriff said with a smile.
Then, as if fearing that Jason would not believe it, the other man continued: "Please rest assured, the news of your arrival has been informed of His Excellency Gerald, and he will be there soon. ”
"You may have questions."
"But I think it's better for Lord Gerald to explain it to you."
With that, the sheriff stood aside and waited quietly.
The same goes for the two lieutenants dressed in black.
Denise, who had been hiding, quietly emerged from behind Jason.
"That cousin of yours doesn't seem to be an ordinary person, huh?"
The dead girl said in a low voice.
Jason didn't answer, just frowned slightly.
He was not surprised in the slightest.
On the contrary, Jason's heart was filled with more doubts at this moment.
The more extraordinary his cousin was, the more he wondered if he had invited him to the wedding.
If he really wanted to find him, it would not be as difficult as his aunt's letter to keep the chief of Hans Harbour waiting.
You don't have to wait until the so-called 'wedding'.
So, there must be a reason for this.
What could it be?
Jason silently guessed.
Soon, a team of people appeared in Jason's field of vision.
The leader was an extremely tall, athletic young man, who rode directly in front of Jason, rolled over and dismounted.
Jason was a tall, muscular type, but the young man in front of him was on par with Jason, and the two of them stood there like two little giants.
As Jason looked at each other. The other party was also looking at Jason.
Looking at Jason, who was as tall and sturdy as himself, the other party's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but smile and open his arms.
"Jason!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but say that it was a big hug, and, slapping Jason's back hard, snapping.
Jason was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded to the other party.
Moreover, it was played even louder.
Definitely not revenge.
It's just that if you don't, it will be rude.
Under the gaze of everyone, the first meeting of the cousins was very harmonious.
After patting each other for a minute, Gerald let go of Jason first, and after twisting his back uncomfortably, the smile on his face became more and more intense.
"You're the same as when you were a kid."
Gerald said.
"I can't remember what happened when I was a kid."
Jason replied.
The smile on Gerald's face froze, but Jason was talking to himself about the words he had already thought of.
"I had some accidents in Taur before."
"A lot of memories are lost."
"Thankfully, my driver was good, and he got me here as promised."
Even if a long time has passed, many memories will become blurred under the washing of time, but some memories will still be engraved in the bones and the memory is still fresh.
And Jason, who doesn't have any memories of these things, can easily reveal flaws.
Therefore, a good reason is necessary.
Thankfully, Jason has exactly one reason for that.
"You had an accident in Taure?"
"The secret letter said, didn't you leave the city a long time ago?"
"Those abominable 'new maggots'!"
Gerald cursed under his breath, and then the cousin looked up at Jason again.
"Don't worry."
"I'll get justice for you."
"I'll help you get your lost memories back!"
With that, Gerald patted Jason on the shoulder again.
Then, without waiting for Jason to react, the cousin walked over to Boft.
The sheriff of Hans Harbor and the lieutenant of the company bowed to Gerald at the same time, and Gerald accepted it as a matter of course, and began to whisper orders.
This scene made Jason's eyes jump.
There is no doubt that this cousin of his has a much higher status in Hans Harbour than he imagined.
And at this time, Denise, who had been hiding behind Jason, came out again.
The deceased girl said in a very serious tone.
"You lost some of your memories in Taure?"
"Then do you remember, in fact, I am your teacher, you are my apprentice......"
Syllable!
Before Denise could finish, Jason slapped it on the forehead with a wave of his hand.
"It hurts! It hurts! ”
Denise clutched her head and crouched on the ground, crying out in pain.
This scene caught Gerald's attention.
Gerald looked at Jason, then at Denise, and the next moment, gave Jason a thumbs up, with Jason's incomprehensible admiration and envy on his face.
Then, Gerald walked up to Denise very formally and said solemnly:
"Hello, ma'am."
"You and Jason are welcome to come all the way to my wedding."
"I'm Jason's cousin Gerald. Hans. ”
