Chapter 114: Respectful title

Views:

The old woman interrupted Gerald like a prophet.

She turned her head to look at her son.

Gerald, who just wiped out the 'Resurrection Society', the weird and the peepers, faced his mother's sight, as if he had disappeared, and subconsciously dodged.

But the cabin is just that big.

Where to hide

Behind Jason

Come on, he's not petite Denise.

However, this did not prevent him from asking Jason for help.

He nudged Jason slightly with his elbow.

Gerald motions for Jason to help.

This was agreed in advance, and of course Jason would not go back on his word.

Although the aunt in front of her looks very strict, she should still be reasonable.

Immediately, Jason was about to speak.

But before he could speak, the old woman looked at him with a smile.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Jason's roar echoed in his ears as he looked at the smiling old woman.

"Jason, I'm your aunt."

"After Lily passed away, I should be your only elder."

"Since your cousin is getting married soon, I think your wedding date can be put on the agenda—what do you think, Denise?"

Saying that, the old woman looked at Denise.

Wang

Denise was taken aback for a moment, with a look of confusion on her face.

And Jason

After throwing a helpless look at Gerrard, he retreated directly.

During the rest of the journey, the old woman and Denise's side continued to laugh and chat.

Gerald was downcast.

Jason remained silent.

He wanted to comfort Gerald, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything.

Sometimes, it's better not to get burned.

It's not that it doesn't help.

but...

The opponent is too strong.

It cannot be resolved by force.

About three or four minutes later, the carriage stopped in front of a white two-story building.

From the perspective of the carriage, there is a door directly in and out of the front, and there is no courtyard or the like. It is just that the door is pushed inward by two meters, and a part of the living room is divided, forming an open space, where a rocking chair and a Small round table.

At this moment, a pot of tea and four cups have been placed on the round table.

At the same time, three round wooden stools were placed beside the rocking chair.

After getting out of the carriage, Jason looked around.

You can hear the sound of waves, green plants, and gravel paths.

It is about 1 km away from No. 111 Deren Street.

It's just that although the buildings here have been repaired, according to the surrounding vegetation, they should be much earlier than No. 111 Deren Street.

"This used to be the gatekeeper's house on the former site of Hans Manor."

"This is where I first came to Hans Harbor."

"Well, as you might imagine, I'm the janitor here."

The old woman explained to Jason while sitting in the rocking chair.

Watchmen

Jason looked at the old woman, unable to imagine that the old woman had ever had this identity.

After all, in his impression, most of the gatekeepers are men and possess considerable force.

"Do you not believe in my abilities?"

"Gerard's swordsmanship, riding, and shooting were all taught by me."

After the old woman motioned for everyone to sit down, she poured tea for everyone. It was flower tea similar to rose petals, with a faint sweet fragrance. While pouring the tea, the old woman continued: "And, at that time, I cut Hair cut, women disguised as men."

Dress up as a man? !

Denise's eyes lit up again.

It has read many novels with such bridges.

But it was the first time I saw it in reality.

"Is that fun?"

Denise asked curiously.

"Fun?"

"Not fun at all!"

"Not only did I worry about my identity being exposed, but I also had to face dangers all the time—at that time, Hans Harbor was full of all kinds of monsters and cultists, and it was difficult to guarantee safety in the urban area."

"We janitors are here to protect the lives of our employers."

"The death rate is extremely high."

"A group of gatekeepers came at the same time as me. After three months, I was the only one left. Six months later, another group of gatekeepers changed, and I became the leader of the gatekeepers and began to be responsible for the security of the entire manor. .”

After taking a sip of tea, the old lady spoke plainly, and Denise shrank her head.

It's all dead people, which is not at all as romantic as it imagined.

However, Denise did not give up.

It continued to ask.

"Then isn't this Hans Manor?"

"Gerald's surname is Hans. You met Gerald's father here, right?"

"Also, why do everyone call Gerald Lord Gerald instead of Lord Hans?"

The old woman took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"This is Hans Manor, and it doesn't mean that I met Gerald's father here. We met in a restaurant in the city. There was a new barbecue restaurant there at that time. I went to eat barbecue, Gerald My father also ran out secretly, he didn't bring any guards, he encountered a little trouble, I solved it smoothly, he invited me to eat barbecue, so we got to know each other."

"As for why not Lord Hans?"

"because… "

The old woman's voice paused, but she didn't continue. She raised her hand and touched the top of Denise's head.

"Go and rest."

"Although you don't have to get up early tomorrow."

the old woman said.

Gerald, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head.

He looked at his mother in surprise.

"With so much going on today, do you think it will be possible to have a wedding tomorrow?"

"It will take at least a week to process."

The old woman looked at her son helplessly.

"A week?"

Gerald breathed a sigh of relief.

Po has a plan that can be delayed for a day.

"Go and take Jason and Denise back to rest."

"I'm tired too."

said the old woman.

Gerald, Jason, and Denise immediately stood up.

The old lady watched them board the carriage and gradually go away until they turned to the side of the road, then turned and walked towards the room.

The former gatekeeper's room retains much of its style.

Rough, simple, and use-oriented.

But some people never come back.

The old woman raised her hand to caress the thick pillars, tables, and stairs in the room, and her thoughts seemed to fly to decades ago.

Ten seconds later, she sighed slightly.

With this sigh, the breath of the old woman changed into the unique breath of the superior again.

"Start the next round of netting."

she said lightly.

"Yes, Lord Hans."

In the surrounding air, Qi Qi answered.

Indistinctly, one after another hidden figures knelt on one knee.

Then, everything dissipated.

Only the low murmur of the old woman remained.

"Griffin Federation."

"Revival meeting."

"Abandonment religion."

"Abrasion will."

"besides… "

"Blood!"

"Have you all gathered at Hans Harbor?"

"I've given you enough time."

"Don't let me down!"
