Jason looked at the box Gerald handed him over.
"Open it."
"I prepared this specially for you."
The port manager finished speaking with a smile, and then added: "It's your reward for helping me face the 'Piper' alone just now, and it's not that you owe me out of thin air."
Although he didn't get along with Jason for a long time, Gerald had already figured out Jason's temper and character.
Naturally, Gerrard knew what to do.
Sure enough, Jason, who was hesitant at first, nodded slightly after hearing Gerald's words and took the box.
The box is made of wood, there is no lock, and it is very light to start with.
When opened, there were only two test tubes inside.
One red, one deep.
It was red like fire, and there was a burning sensation of flames when you saw it.
As deep as the night, when you touch it, you feel like you are under the quiet starry sky.
"Charles burning technique, Blair expulsion technique and Bruder's defense technique are all independent secret techniques that I obtained when I sorted out the materials of 'Troubled Age'!"
"They're not complete, but unique enough."
"Even compared to the complete system of secret arts I have learned, it is not inferior, and even ranks among the best."
"Of course, the most important thing is..."
"They have very little rejection."
Listening to Gerrard's introduction, Jason's eyes lit up.
Charles Burning Technique, Gerald, Butler Lid, and Little Lid have all studied and researched in depth, especially Steward Lid, who purely uses this as the main combat secret technique.
Blair's expulsion technique, Jason saw Gerald's guards perform it together when he was at the embassy, it was somewhat like a weakened version of [Protection from Evil].
And Bruder Defense
Jason frowned.
"Bruder's defense is a large-scale defense secret to protect No. 111 on Durham Street."
"It requires many people and many materials to perform together."
"But it doesn't prevent one person from building defenses."
Gerald saw what Jason was wondering, and immediately explained.
Then, he pointed to the two test tubes in the box.
"They are the potions needed to learn Charles Burning Technique and Blair Expulsion Technique."
"It's not that you can't learn it without potions, but that the incomplete Charles Burning Technique and Blair Expulsion Technique are too laborious to learn, and they are very repulsive."
"So, I made some changes to Charles Burn and Blair Expulsion."
"Brud's defense technique does not require the assistance of potions. It is quite gentle on itself, and it will hardly cause any harm."
After speaking, Gerald pointed to the potion representing Blair's expulsion technique.
"Jason, your breath is the closest to it."
"I suggest you drink it first."
"Of course, the burning of Charles is also possible, it's up to you to choose."
While talking, Gerrard took out a book.
"You may have any doubts about these three secret techniques, it will explain it to you."
Gerald handed the book to Jason.
The whole person seemed to be relieved.
The westward sun shone on the face of the harbor master, dazzling, but it was hard to hide his fatigue.
"Jason, I'll take a break first."
"When you get home, remember to call me."
Gerald said softly.
"Um."
Jason nodded.
And almost when Jason gave an affirmative answer, Gerald snored lightly.
The person in charge of the harbor is even more tired than imagined.
Jason glanced at Gerald, put the box containing the medicine aside, picked up the book in his hand, and looked through it quietly.
Before taking the potion, he thought he needed to thoroughly understand the three secret arts.
…
The new federation, the capital of Gorsey.
In the towering Mobius Palace.
The new nobles gathered together.
They are neatly dressed, gorgeously dressed, armed with swords, talking and laughing happily.
As a victor against the old federation.
Enjoying the fruits of victory, they have long since become beyond description.
That is everything that ordinary people can't imagine.
In other words, their happiness you can never imagine.
In the power center of this new federation, they chatted recklessly about the beauty of which lady, talked about the fashion of Golsey, and kept laughing at certain embarrassing stories and anecdotes.
Most of the new nobles are like this.
Only a very small number of new nobles looked serious.
These are some new nobles who still maintain what they consider 'glory'.
Belongs to the glory of the battlefield!
At least, they have appeared on the battlefield.
Therefore, they are all armed with swords.
This is one of the 'glory'.
And as long as he has been on the battlefield, Gerrard is a character they can never bypass.
"Are we really going to war with the South?"
asked a new nobleman.
He was young, not yet middle-aged, but his loose skin, huge belly, and dark circles around his eyes made him look like he was forty or fifty years old.
Especially the long sword, because of his fat belly, it has already been tilted to the other side, making people doubt whether the new nobleman can pull out the long sword smoothly.
And when he was asking questions, he was speculative and uneasy, like a fat mouse that was about to face the cat.
"certainly!"
"War is inevitable!"
"The battlefield will be the best place to make meritorious deeds!"
Another new noble who stood up straight answered.
This one holds a gorgeous long sword in his hand, with a look of eagerness to try.
He has a stature like a stick, without the slightest sense of solidity. Although he thinks he is standing straight, in the eyes of ordinary people, he is still crooked.
"Can… "
"To face that one."
Another new noble joins in.
He looked worried.
The face of the fat new nobleman at the beginning was suddenly full of fear.
The nobleman who was standing upright shook his sword hand, and his already crooked body became even more crooked, as if he was about to fall.
And those new aristocrats who were talking about Goersai fashion, anecdotes, and which lady is beautiful, all stopped.
At this moment, there was silence in Mobius Palace.
That was a threat from a person.
It also belongs to the majesty of a person.
'Griffin' Gerald.
He is like a huge rock, pressing down on the hearts of these new nobles, making them tremble when they enjoy themselves, awakening them when they sleep, and making them feel uneasy whenever they stand here.
After a while, the fat new nobleman who spoke first laughed a few times.
He broke the oppressive silence.
"Didn't your lord prepare new weapons?"
"We don't need to actually go to the battlefield, do we?"
"After all, we are nobles!"
"Going to the battlefield is a matter for soldiers, we only need to command!"
The words of this plump new nobleman immediately got the approval of all the new nobles present.
"yes!"
"We just need to command!"
"We don't need to go to the battlefield!"
They nodded one by one, feeling relieved.
As for adults
There were two who could be called adults by these new nobles.
Now
only one!
A descendant of Grand Duke Emerton!
Ruler of the Federation!
At this moment, the personal servant of the person in charge walked in.
"My lords, please follow me."
"My lords say it's time to show my lords a real new weapon."
The servant said with a low eyebrow.
Really new weapon
All the new nobles were taken aback.
Then, they immediately became excited and followed the personal servant one by one to a higher place in the palace.
For half an hour, when these new nobles were all out of breath, they came to the second height of the Mobius Palace. These new nobles couldn't help complaining to the lord why they didn't use the more convenient human ladder. , looked up and saw the behemoth.
"This is our new weapon?"
The new nobles asked with trembling lips. After the valet nodded in affirmation, these new nobles who were still tired seemed to have received a large dose of booster, and they became excited again one by one. A few were so excited that they yelled crazily—
"Can win!"
"We must win!"
"With it, we are invincible!"
