As for Gerald, Wagner had summoned him so that the two of them could go to meet Master Ghost at Langvern Church — located at Mount Langvern — as designated by Wagner the day before.
In the past, Gerald did not really believe in the so-called 'precipient experts'. He only considers them as people who like to deceive others.
However, ever since he first learned about the extraordinary old beggar in the mural, his view of fortune-telling began to change.
In addition to all the confusing new experiences he's had, Gerald also has another reason to believe that Master Ghost is the real one. After all, Master Ghost had managed to predict the events that would befall Alice, Wagner, and even the Minshall family. Everything he said finally came true.
Since Master Ghost has been able to predict that Wagner and Gerald will eventually meet, Gerald knows that there is a chance he can find out about Mila and her uncle's whereabouts after meeting Master Ghost.
With that in mind, Gerald was quite anticipated to meet his master.
Located on a mountain ridge north of Halimark City, Mount Langvern itself is an area surrounded by cliffs and old pine trees. If one stood on top of a mountain, they would be able to see the entirety of Halimark City. Since the city itself was quite large, anyone who saw it from the mountain would see it stretching to the horizon, so much so that the end of Halimark City sometimes seemed like it was merging with the sky.
Gazing down from above, even the space that could hold tens of thousands of people gave the impression that it was only the size of a matchbox. Anyone who saw such a scene would definitely be reminded of how insignificant a human was.
People can usually find many people at the foot of the hill. After all, some people went to Mount Langvern to pray, and many others went there to make an official visit to Master Ghost in hopes of their fate being foretold.
As for the Langvern Church, it was a simple yet ancient-looking building that, from afar, gave the impression that it was not very spacious. While the churches today are usually restored very beautifully and luxuriously, since the day it was built—years ago—Langvern Church maintains its grayish-white walls as well as the reddish-brown bricks and tiles that can be found. around the building.
Although many people were constantly visiting Mount Langvern, the mountain was still able to retain its light and softness, making it quite a unique place.
Back at Gerald and Wagner, by the time the two arrived at the foot of the mountain, the road from foot to the top of the mountain was already crowded with people.
Looking around, Gerald finally froze for a moment. She wasn't even sure if she was just imagining something, but standing quite far away from him, was a woman who looked extremely graceful. Well, at least her back looked graceful, from what Gerald could see.
Watching the maid take him to her car, Gerald was unable to see the slightest bit of her face as one of the maids held a — umbrella that completely blocked her sight — as she entered the vehicle.
With wide-eyed eyes as he gulped, Gerald could only stare as he watched the car leave.
'...Her... He looks very similar...!'
After all, the back of the woman's white neck looks a lot like her boyfriend.
The sudden surprise of the scene almost made his rational side collapse a second time, thinking that it was really possible for him. However, he quickly gathered his thoughts again, deeming the situation a little strange.
He immediately reminded himself that not only had Mila been missing for a long time now, but since she had been captured by the Sun League, it was increasingly impossible for her to wander around like this!
Gerald simply shook his head, concluding the incident was only his illusion. It was probably because he missed Mila too much.
Still, Gerald could only gulp as he watched the car continue to go further and further. He was now seriously considering going after the car to see if it was really Mila or not. Even if he didn't, he could at least rest easy knowing that he didn't miss the chance to finally find her again.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a pull on his arm before hearing a feminine voice call out, “Hey, Gerald! I've called you a few times! Can't you hear me? ”
Drawn from his thoughts and back to the present, Gerald turned to look at the owner of the voice. Apparently, the woman who pulled his arm was Yasmeen!
“Who do you see…? When you look at that beauty, your eyes widen a lot, you know? I really didn't expect that you were such a person, Gerald!” Yasmin.
"What do you want?" gerald asked in an annoyed tone. After all, Yasmeen had interrupted him at a very important moment.
“What kind of tone is that now! I've come to greet you, but this is how you treat me? said Yasmeen who seemed somewhat adamant about continuing to talk to Gerald.
Taking a deep breath, Gerald turned to look at the car again. However, it was now completely invisible.
After thinking about it for a while, he chided it because he thought too much about it.
After all, since Yasmeen was suddenly so enthusiastic to talk to him, he now felt quite awkward as he treated her like that a few seconds ago.
“...I was just immersed in the thought before. Sorry," Gerald replied casually.
Closing his mouth to chuckle, Yasmeen then said, “Well, that's the Gerald I know! Ha ha!"
