Chapter 428 Caroline's News
The soldier in charge of registration did not notice anything unusual about Gervis. After listening to Gervis' words, he replied and began to flip through the thick books on the table.
"Are you the Potter family of His Majesty's direct territory or the Potter family of the Earl of Kingmay?"
The soldier searched for a long time and finally found the only two families with Potter as their surname.
"I am from the Earl of Jinmai's family!"
Gervis gave a direct reply without any hesitation, but his voice was a little low because Tred and the others were only more than ten meters away.
When Gervais met Potter, the Golden Wheat Territory had not yet been conquered, so the real Harry Potter could not have appeared in the king's direct territory at that time.
Fortunately, all the nobles of the Jinmai family have now been wiped out by the Principality of Jean, so the risk that Gervis needs to take is much smaller.
"Yes, the Potter family of the Earldom of King Wheat!"
After hearing Gervis' answer, the registered soldier flipped through the thick book again and soon found the list of vassals of the Jinmai family.
The actions of the soldier in front of him instantly made Gervis even more nervous.
Because this book actually contains portraits of all the vassals of the Jinmai family, both big and small, and also includes portraits of every heir of a minor noble family.
Soon the registered soldier found a portrait of a young boy who looked to be three or four years younger than Gervis.
After finding the portrait of the boy, the soldier began to compare the portrait with Gervis.
The registered soldier looked up and down carefully and compared them four or five times, then frowned.
Obviously, Gervis's appearance is not similar to the portrait in the book.
It was just because Gervis deliberately looked unkempt when he was about to arrive at Hayden Royal City that the soldier was not sure that there was anything wrong with Gervis for a while.
"This portrait should be from a few years ago. Look, my hairstyle has changed now! What's the matter? Is there a problem?"
Gervis took a few glances at the simple black and white portrait in the picture. The painter's skills were not very good. The face of the person was distorted by the painter.
However, if this artist was as good as those sketchers on Earth, Gervais would have been exposed by now.
So Gervis simply took the initiative to speak and explained casually.
After hearing Gervis' explanation, the soldier had no choice but to continue comparing.
"Harry, why are you so slow? Let's get into the city quickly!"
"Okay, Tread, wait a minute, I'll be right there after registration is done!"
Treed's shout was like a life-saving straw, which immediately diverted the attention of the registration soldiers in front of him. Moreover, there were several people like Anlis beside Treed who were also watching and waiting.
"How's it going? Any problems? If not I'm going into town and my friends are waiting for me?"
"It's okay! This is your pass, take it! Otherwise you won't be able to move around in the city! If you lose it, be sure to report it to the city guards as soon as possible!"
Seeing that Tred and his companions were indeed familiar with Gervis, and that they had already completed the registration, with each holding a pass in his hand, the soldier in charge of registration dispelled his suspicions, thinking that it was really due to the age change.
The soldier then quickly registered Gervis and handed him a card with Gervis' detailed information and a special stamp.
"Okay, thanks!"
Gervis took the card and smiled, then quickly walked towards Tread and the others.
After meeting up with Tread and his men, they led their subordinates towards the city gate.
When they arrived in the city, everyone except Anlis looked around with eyes wide open.
This royal city is indeed at the feet of the king. All the houses are built with stones, and they are not randomly piled up. There are also various reliefs.
Occasionally, you can see one or two beautiful houses that are all white and built with white marble.
"It's beautiful! The stone house on my father's estate isn't as beautiful as this one!"
Treed murmured.
"Okay, stop looking! Let's go to our respective stations and hand our subordinates over to our fathers, and then we'll have dinner together in the evening!"
It was obviously not the first time that Anlis came to this royal city, so besides Gervis, Anlis was the only one present who looked calm and composed.
Anlis couldn't stand their slow pace, so he began to urge them on.
The fathers of people like Tred Anlis had already arrived in the Royal City of Hayden, so their base must be with their fathers.
Only Gervis, the fake Harry's father, was not in the city, so he had no place to go.
Moreover, the Potter family he pretended to be was not a direct vassal of King Hayden, so their residence was different from that of Tread and his companions.
Gervis was also thinking of finding an excuse to separate from them so that they would not be able to find out the clues from their base. At this time, Anlis spoke, and Gervis continued.
"In that case, let's separate here! See you later!"
"Okay! That works too!"
Next, everyone decided on a meeting place in the evening before going their separate ways.
Only after he separated from Tread and the others did Gervis look worried.
"I've walked into a tiger's den! I hope I won't be discovered. Otherwise, even if I have ten black kiwis, they won't be enough for me to spend!"
The pass that the guard gave to Gervis had the address of the base assigned to him, and Gervis went directly to the base according to the address.
It is actually a stone house with a yard.
There are only about seventy people in Gervis's group, so it's enough if they squeeze in.
After settling down, Gervis stayed in the house and began to practice silently. He did not leave the house until dark.
Originally, he didn't want to see Tred and the others again, but now that they were in the King's City of Hayden, it would be difficult to leave the city, so Gervis felt that he could not cut off contact with Tred and the others immediately.
Otherwise they might get suspicious then.
In addition, Anlis has many information channels, and Gervis also wants to learn about the situation in the city through him.
At least find out what happened to Caroline. I have already arrived in the royal city. Regardless of whether I can rescue her or not, I can find out the situation first.
Gervis only brought two personal guards to the place agreed with Traed and his companions. Soon they met up and went to a restaurant under the leadership of Anlis.
They were also conscripted by the king, so King Hayden would not provide them with food.
To put it bluntly, these noble descendants helped their fathers to bring soldiers and the castle's valuable belongings to the royal city. Now that the mission is completed, they can start to live a life of luxury and debauchery, and it is basically not their turn to fight.
This restaurant is not high-end, but the city of Hayden is overcrowded and supplies are tight, so it is not easy to find a place to eat and drink, and none of them complained.
After quickly ordering a sumptuous meal, they began to feast on it.
"Have you heard? The king will hold a competition for young nobles the day after tomorrow!"
After taking a few bites of the food, Anlis couldn't sit still anymore and immediately started talking, attracting everyone's attention.
"Competition? What kind of competition?"
Not to mention Gervis, even Tread and the others were confused and obviously had no idea.
"Hey! It's not surprising that you don't know. I guess someone won't inform you of this news until tomorrow morning!"
Anlis felt satisfied again and continued with a smug smile on his face.
"The Thunder Knights went to White Rock City some time ago. Did you know that?"
"When the Thunder Knights returned, they brought back a prisoner."
"And she's a beautiful female captive!"
At this point Anlister paused and began to keep the other person in suspense.
When everyone heard that the Thunder Knights had captured a woman, they immediately realized that this was not a simple matter. They stared at Anlis intently, not even caring about the food in their hands, waiting for his next words.
At this time, Gervis was in the same situation. Before he could even open his mouth to probe, Anlis started to speak out himself. Gervis shouted in his heart: Brother, steady!
"Do you know the identity of that female prisoner?"
"She is the fiancée of the Grand Prince of the Principality of Zeon! And her grandfather is a Peak Gold Knight!"
"Hehe! Speaking of which, this competition is related to her!"
