Chapter 40: Horseback Riding~Ask for a Monthly Pass~)
In the early morning, Jason, who had stayed up all night, put down his book when Gerald knocked on the door.
"Morning, Jason."
"Where's Denise?"
"Didn't you open the little door?"
As soon as he entered the room, Gerald looked around. After not seeing Denise, the manager of Hans Harbor looked at his cousin with deep suspicion on his face.
He thought Jason had just come back from Denise's room.
Unfortunately, his upbringing meant that he could not open the bedroom door to check.
As for the open book in the study?
cover up!
He used to do this often.
"Walk!"
Not seeing the expected scene did not dampen Gerald's enthusiasm at all. He stopped Jason's shoulder and walked downstairs.
"where are we going?"
"Would you like breakfast?"
Jason asked.
He could already smell milk, bacon, and vegetables.
"of course not!"
Gerald put his arm around Jason's shoulders and walked out of the main building.
The waiters along the way stepped aside and bowed when they saw the two men.
The eyes of those relatives who got up early once again flashed with envy and jealousy.
But no one dared to show anything in front of Gerrard.
Then, after going around several flower beds, Gerald led Jason to a wide area.
Looking at the rows of stables in the distance and the knights who had started racing, Jason instantly understood what Gerald wanted to do.
Learn to ride a horse!
In fact, Jason was not opposed to this study.
The era of Lord and Hans Harbor destined to the importance of learning to ride a horse.
Immediately, Jason adjusted his mentality.
Seeing his cousin go from being surprised to eager to try, Gerald smiled.
How could a man not like riding a horse?
Having a horse 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 after he has grown to a certain level.
Jason will start from the basics.
"Go get s1-003's horse."
After giving instructions to the person in charge of the racecourse, Gerald turned his head and continued to say to Jason: "The most important thing when riding a horse is the strength of the waist and abdomen!"
"Then, you have to approach your horse from the front left. You have to make sure it can see you, and you have to be gentle and don't scare it."
"For stirrups, just put the front half of your feet in them."
"The reins are what you need to hold on to."
Gerald explained to Jason carefully.
Jason listened carefully.
Jason, who fully understands the importance of learning, does not hesitate to do so.
But when the person in charge of the racecourse led a muscular white horse close to Jason, Jason, who had not had breakfast yet, subconsciously thought: "Is horse meat delicious?"
The law!
As if he had encountered his biggest natural enemy, the docile white horse stopped instantly and refused to approach Jason again.
The person in charge of the racecourse pulled the reins hard, but it was of no use. Instead, it made the horse retreat continuously.
Gerald looked at this scene in surprise.
Then, smile.
"As expected of my cousin."
"An ordinary horse cannot be your mount."
"Go and fetch the 'war horse'."
Gerrard said to the person in charge of the racecourse.
"Yes, sir."
After answering, the person in charge of the racecourse quickly took back the white horse.
Then, go to the independent stables on the other side.
"Jason, have you ever learned the secret arts?"
In this emptiness, Gerard suddenly asked.
Obviously, the person in charge of Hansi Harbor saw what had just happened and misunderstood something.
"Have learned."
Jason said calmly.
There is no need to hide this fact.
Because, Jason knew very well that in the days to come, he would show his mysterious side of power.
When the main mission changed at sunrise today from [reach the 'Hans' harbor before the 26th and attend the wedding] to [attend the wedding postponed for a week], Jason knew that in the next week, he would meet
To what.
The scene last night was quite obvious.
The seemingly calm port of Hans is actually full of undercurrents.
There are too many forces watching here.
And as Gerrard's cousin?
Naturally, he was also targeted.
Want to stay out of it?
Unless you give up the main mission.
But this is impossible.
Jason would never face that unknown punishment.
Therefore, he will cooperate with Gerrard as much as possible.
Only in this way will there be more chances of winning.
After Gerald heard the expected answer, he frowned slightly.
"Have you studied?"
"This will cause some trouble."
Gerald frowned.
According to Gerald's idea, of course his cousin should be like him, starting from the most basic griffon swordsmanship, griffin shooting, and griffin fighting skills, and then learning griffin physical training, and during this period, he would learn Charles
Burning, Blair Banishing, etc., and finally learning the ritual to summon the gryphon.
However, when Jason had learned other secret techniques, this idea was undoubtedly broken.
At the very least, learning the griffin exercise technique requires caution.
And if the griffin training technique cannot be learned, then naturally one cannot learn the ritual to summon the griffin.
However, Gerrard immediately relaxed his brows.
He didn't want Jason to infer anything bad from his expression.
His cousin has suffered too much.
You shouldn't have to endure this anymore.
"I know about the conflict between secret arts."
Seeing the way Gerald frowned and then immediately relaxed, so that the corners of his eyes twitched, Jason said with a smile.
"you know?"
"It seems that you know more about the mysterious side than I do."
"But don't worry, I'm here."
Gerald looked at his cousin's nonchalant smile and felt inexplicably distressed.
What kind of hardships did you go through to achieve this kind of open-mindedness?
Therefore, the person in charge of Hansi Harbor made a decision at the next moment:
"Even if it is a conflict between the 'Gryphons', there will always be one among the 'Cat Cave', 'Bear Tower', 'Wolf Castle', 'Snake Cave', 'Eagle Cliff' and 'Tiger Mountain' that is not in conflict!"
"What if none of this works?"
"Then find a single powerful secret technique that doesn't conflict!"
"Put together a set for Jason!"
Thinking of this, the person in charge of Hansi Harbor also laughed.
As for what to do?
Known as the "Pearl" of the Federation, Hans Harbor has a characteristic that all federal lords, new nobles, etc. cannot ignore and are extremely envious of: rich!
A port that controls shipping.
A steady stream of spices and sugar, like gold, is continuously imported into Hans Seaport.
As long as something can be solved with money, it is not a problem.
What if money can’t solve it?
Gerald looked at the black war horse brought by the person in charge of the racecourse, and walked over with a smile.
The tall war horse stared at Gerald unruly.
Even though he was being pulled by the reins, he still wanted to bite Gerald.
Gerald signaled the person in charge of the racecourse to loosen the reins, and then said to Jason:
"War horses are different from ordinary horses."
"You must have special taming skills."
The words fell——
boom!
Gerald knocked the black horse to the ground with one punch.
