Chapter 50: The Old Man Meets
"Is it really you, Lord Roger?" Geraint exclaimed excitedly from the crowd.
"Who's calling me?" said Roger, the Pirate King, shifting his gaze to the crowd.
"Mistress Roger, it's me. I don't see you look strong in years! I remember you used to be very thin. Geraint took off his helmet and burst out of the crowd.
"Is that you, Geraint?" Roger recognized Geraint at a glance, "I've been sleeping on the sea for the past few years, and I have to do a lot of things myself, so naturally I have to find a way to make myself stronger." The leaders of our pirates are full of strong muscles, and it would be out of place if I were to return to my old appearance. ”
"Haha, yes, Lord Roger, I knew the famous Roger Pirates had something to do with you. The only team in the entire Gaia Continent that can clash with the Blue Dragon Knights on the sea is the team led by you, Lord Roger. Gerante said excitedly.
"It's all up to everyone's Liliang, without them, I'm not the opponent of the Blue Dragon Knights alone. My wife, Miranda, is enough for me, not to mention that she has masters like Princess Hayley and Thunder Fist Zhang under her hands. Roger looked at Geraint, "By the way, I always thought that in the accident six years ago, you and Lord Byron disappeared into the Temple of Light. I didn't expect you to come to Mallory Island alone. How did you get out?"
"Lord Byron, they were in the Temple of Light, desperately resisting the rebels of Parsa, and I escaped through a secret passage under their cover. Geraint said sadly.
However, Parsa always claimed that Byron had killed King Bixia and launched a rebellion, killing all the royal family members in the floating city. Roger responded.
"Lord Roger, do you also believe the nonsense of that puppet king of Parsa?" Geraint was a little emotional when he heard this.
"If I had believed him, there wouldn't be the current pirate Roger, haha!" Roger laughed, "Parsa, I've always been wary of him. He wears that weird smile all day long, and it makes people shudder. Moreover, over the years, under the rule of Parsa, the Five Dragons Knights have done a lot of degrading deeds against chivalry. At that time, I had just finished suppressing the pirates and was about to return to the palace to resume my life, but when I heard that King Bixia had died of illness and that the rebellion of the Golden Dragon Knights had been suppressed by Parsa, I felt that this matter was very strange and I did not choose to return to Floating City. After Parsa ascended to the throne, I secretly observed many of his actions, decided to leave the Order, and embarked on the path of piracy. ”
"Well, Lord Byron has been falsely accused. Parsa is the real murderer. Although we do not have complete evidence in our hands, Lord Byron has analyzed that the person who manipulated all this conspiracy was Parsa. Geraint nodded.
"The royal family of Floating City has all been slaughtered, and our Royal Highness the Prince has mysteriously disappeared......" Roger recalls the scene six years ago.
"Wait a minute, Lord Roger. Let's find a place to talk about these things in detail, there are too many people here. Geraint replied. So he asked Haig, "Lord Haig, don't you mind if I talk to Lord Roger alone, and as for Joshua, I'll let him come to you at the manor first, and I'll pick him up later." Please take good care of it. ”
"Haha, it's fine. People here are crazy right now, don't get too late. We also prepared a grand celebration banquet in the evening, so don't miss it. Haig patted Jaylant on the back, smiled and left with Shiyin.
"Dad, that's great, we've won again!, but you kept me at home so that I didn't see the scene of this battle, you must take me with you next time!" Heinal was escorted by a group of Mallory city guards into the crowd. When she saw Haig and Shiyin, she couldn't hide the joy in her heart.
"Good daughter, let's go home. In the evening we will have a grand celebration dinner on the outskirts of Mallory Manor!" Haig said with a smile as he stroked Helnar's head.
"Hey, there's something delicious again. It's been a long time since we've had this excitement......"
"Uncle Geraint, where are you and this Uncle Roger going, how bored I am alone. Joshua asked, pulling the corner of Geraint's coat.
"Obedient, Joshua. You go to the manor with the Lord of Haig first, and I'll come with you Uncle Roger at dinner. Geraint soothed Joshua.
"I don't want it, so I'll see that rough girl from Henar again. Joshua pouted.
"After all, she is the daughter of the Lord of Haig, and you should live in harmony with her. Okay, Joshua, you have to be obedient. So that I can take you to the battlefield next time. Geraint laughed.
"For the sake of your willingness to take me to the battlefield together in the future, I will first wronged myself and go to the house of the wild girl of Heinar. Joshua nodded.
It was evening, and Geraint and Roger, who had not seen each other for more than six years, had spent the whole day chatting on the outskirts of Mallory Manor. They confided in each other about the things they had encountered in the past six years. As it was getting dark, the two built a bonfire and sat around them.
"What? are you telling the truth, Geraint?" Roger looked at in surprise, "That kid is His Royal Highness? ”
"Parsa sent his men to disguise themselves as our Golden Dragon Knights and slaughter royalty in the royal city. At that time, I was fortunate to have come in time to rescue His Royal Highness the Prince. Lord Byron, they stayed in the Temple of Light to protect me. Gerante recalled.
"It is said that later, in order not to be a prisoner, Lord Byron and several of his men used the highest meaning of the Golden Dragon Knights, the Burning Plains, and blew up the entire Temple of Light. Roger sighed.
"Is it a fire attack unique to our Knights?" Gerante pulled out the knightly coat of arms of the Golden Dragon Knights from his bosom, and felt it for a long time.
But when Parsa asked someone to rebuild the Temple of Light, Byron did not find their bodies. The generals of the Golden Dragon Knights have all mysteriously disappeared after the collapse of the Hall of Light. Roger thought for a moment and said, "Of course, some people say that the power of the flames is too great, and they have all been burned to ashes. ”
"Really?" asked Geraint, "as long as no bodies are found, they have hope of being alive." ”
"yes, I also hope that Byron is alive. I have always believed that Lord Byron is the one who is right. "But now that Parsa rules the entire Gaia continent, it won't be easy for us to overthrow him. However, since His Royal Highness the Prince is with us, can we consider letting the Five Dragons Knights re-pledge their allegiance to the first heir of Saint King Roy?"
"This ......," Geraint had an unspeakable secret, "His Royal Highness the Prince...... His Royal Highness, the Prince, who had lost his memory in the rebellion six years earlier. ”
"No wonder he didn't seem to recognize me when he saw me just now. Roger frowned.
"I fled in the valley with His Royal Highness the Prince, only to be attacked by Parsa's Shadow Mage troops while climbing the rock, and fell into the river with His Royal Highness. Fortunately, a kind person saved us later, but His Royal Highness the Prince lost his memory. Geraint sighed.
"And when are you going to tell Joshua the truth?" asked Roger solemnly.
"Back then, considering that His Royal Highness the Prince was still young, I didn't dare to tell him the truth of the matter. I am afraid that this will cast a huge shadow on his childhood, so I want to wait for His Royal Highness to come of age and tell him slowly. ”
"Well, His Royal Highness the Prince is the true and legitimate heir of the Kingdom of Reims, and we must help him regain the throne. Roger clenched his fists.
"Haha, Boss, what are you hiding here, come and cheer together!" Vincent, already drunk, interrupted their conversation.
On the outskirts of Mallory Manor, Haig hosted a dinner party to celebrate the Wings of Liberty and the warriors of Roger's Pirates, and the whole island of Mallory was filled with laughter.
