Returning to the old residence of the tower from the welcome banquet, Allen stood in front of the door for a while before pushing in. The door shrank inward, revealing a quiet entrance. Next to the entrance, there is a box with a heavy knife Qianjun inside, and a rucksack next to him, containing some of Allen's personal items. These things were naturally sent to him by the servants in the castle.
Allen turned to the hallway, and the living room was quiet and bright, and the afternoon sun from outside the window left a large spot of light on the ground. Dust danced lightly in the sun, as time still fixed on the morning he left two years ago. Everything has not changed here, and even the furnishings have maintained their original appearance. Every day there are servants to clean up, as if time left no trace here.
Those who are slightly different are just that the young boy at that time has matured a lot.
Walking to a circle table, Allen picked up a photo frame on it. In the photo frame is Lenny from Girls' Generation. In the photo, she seemed to have traveled through time, and her eyes fell on Alan's face. Allen looked at the photo and whispered, "I'm back, mother."
Allen came to the balcony and sat alone beside the carved railing, enjoying this rare quiet time. But they couldn't think of the banquet just now. Lucy and Adele hadn't quarreled anymore, but the two girls looked at each other unpleasantly, and even the conversation was full of turmoil. Thinking that he might be caught in the middle of the storm between the two girls for a while, Allen couldn't help but smile.
The people attending the banquet were all young people. Apart from Alan's own friends, there were not many people on the family side. Renner, known as the Tyrannosaurus, returned with his father's expedition to Outland. Only Regis, Arthur and a few other brothers and sisters attended the banquet.
Among them, Kodoff's younger brother Arthur, a boy who looks very gentle, always makes Allen feel uncomfortable. It was pure instinct, even if Arthur didn't show any malice in the whole process. He even denounced that Kodov shouldn't have murdered his brother, but in the eyes of the young man, Allen always felt that he saw something else.
Those things made Arthur's eyes brighter than Regis's, and made Allen reluctant to approach.
He shook his head. Kodov had already paid the price for what he had done back then, even though there were many doubtful places behind it. But everything became the past with his death. Neither Horn nor Allen wanted to pursue it any more. Such a result could only lead to a split in the family.
So now, if Arthur didn't show any bad intentions, no matter how Alan didn't like him, he could only be treated like a brother. Of course, this so-called brother does not refer to Regis, but just maintains the relationship between ordinary family members.
Returning to Babylon this time, Allen will see another person.
Father Miró!
The next day, Allen came to Levin town alone. The town is bathed in the morning sun, and the people in the town have risen. Although there are not many pedestrians, you can see that the town is full of vigor. The residents of Levin town are mostly servants, guards and their families who serve Bethkode. With the soaring strength of Bethkode in the past two years, the number of residents in Levin Town has increased significantly.
Now, there are many more construction sites on the east and west sides of the town, workers are already working on rows of scaffolding, and the town is being expanded. From another perspective, it can be seen that Bethkod’s forces are developing rapidly. The town even has one or two small food processing plants, and a dense orchard has emerged in the suburbs. This solves the food supply problem to a large extent and also provides more employment opportunities for the residents of the town.
When Allen walked into the town, there were already fruit farmers who had brought fresh fruits and vegetables back from the suburbs. These fruits and vegetables will be delivered to the town’s small square, and then sold to the town’s fruit and vegetable stalls, and eventually fall into the hands of the residents of the town. The town square is very lively early in the morning. Some vegetable and fruit stall owners will come to the square to buy fresh fruits and vegetables from fruit farmers. In it, Allen actually met Mary, the oldest girl among Willick's adopted children.
She and two and a half older children bought a small cart of fruits and vegetables and were withdrawing from the crowd. Not wanting to be too crowded, the cart turned over immediately after being squeezed. Seeing that he was about to overwhelm the three of them, Alan's figure flashed, passing a few meters away, firmly pressing the edge of the cart with one hand, only a few vegetables fell out.
But Meili and the two boys were already sitting on the ground, their faces pale. Allen smiled at them and said, "Are you okay?"
"Ah, it's Master Ellen." Meili stood up quickly and bowed her head somewhat embarrassedly: "Thank you, Master. Otherwise, the two of them must be hurt."
Allen looked at the cart and said, "Can you finish eating so many fruits and vegetables?"
"Because the things in the morning market are cheap and fresh, we will save some of them. You can make jam or dried fruit if you can't finish it, and then sell it to others, you can make more money." Meili said politely.
Alan was surprised, but didn't expect this little girl to be able to plan carefully. He smiled: "Next time, don't buy so many things at once. This time Willick and I return from the expedition, and the family will give him a supplement, which should be enough for you to spend a long time."
Meili said solemnly: "That was also earned by Brother Willick from his blood and sweat. We want to save it as much as we can, and we can't always be his burden."
Allen nodded, and reached out to touch Meili’s head and said: "You are grown up. Then Meili, if you want to make money, I can ask Mr. Heising. If you are not afraid of hard work, I want to make the tower house, I'll leave it to you to clean it up later."
Meili's eyes lit up: "Really? I'm not afraid of hard work. I am the best at cleaning the house. I clean up the house!"
"That's good, I'll tell Mr. Haising when I go back. You don't have to live in the castle, you can go home after you finish your work every day."
"Thank you so much, Master Ellen." Meili smiled happily.
With Allen's current position, it is easy to give Mary a sum of money. But he believed that it would be better to give her a job to make Meili more happy. Self-reliance can best reflect the value of a person. What Meili needs is not only money, but also to prove her worth, which can be seen from the cumbersomeness that she does not want to be Willick.
"By the way, Master Ellen, how did you come to town? Are you looking for Brother Willick?" Mary asked again.
Allen shook his head: "No, I put Willick and the others off, so they have to rest for a while. I'm here to find someone, Mary, do you know where the church is?"
A boy next to him raised his hand and shouted, "I know I know."
Mei Li also suddenly realized with a look: "So you came to find Father Milo? Master Ellen also came to listen to the priest's sermon? Everyone said that the priest is an evangelist sent by God."
This time Allen was taken by surprise.
It's incredible that Father Miró, who regards wealth as his life, has such an evaluation as a "gospel messenger" in the small town of Levin.
Mary pushed the little boy: "Let little George take you there."
"Okay." Allen looked at the cute boy with freckles. "Then please, George."
The little boy straightened his chest: "Wrap it on me."
Arriving at the door of the church, many residents are gradually entering the church. After bidding farewell to the little boy, Allen entered the church alone. Levin's chapel is not big, so it can hold twenty or thirty people. Allen found a corner and sat down, and found that there were no seats in the church. Some people even stood at the door of the church, which made him surprised.
After a while, Father Miró walked in through the side door of the preaching platform. His appearance was very different from what he saw in Hei Iron Town that day. He was wearing a white sacrificial clothing, and was draped with a purple background embroidered with golden crosses and other patterns. The messy hair was combed meticulously, and the whole person walked to the preaching stage radiantly, smiling and opening his arms and said, "Good morning, brothers and sisters, today is also a day full of hope."
"So now, let us have morning prayer."
After the morning prayer, Father Miró again preached to the residents. It can be seen that he is mingling like a fish in Levin town. After 20 minutes of preaching, the residents looked as if they had been brainwashed and looked at Miró with all worshipping eyes.
After the sermon, people left intermittently, some even stepped forward to hug Milo. Milo maintained his polite appearance from beginning to end, maintaining a kind and kind appearance. The smile on the priest's face froze until when people walked almost and saw Alan sitting alone. Then he reacted quickly, and after sending the last believer away, he should not close the door of the auditorium.
"Father Milo, you seem to be doing pretty well. Gospel messenger, hey, don't you receive gifts from believers in private?" Allen smiled lightly.
Milo said with a serious face: "No such thing~EbookFREE.me~ Even if they insist on sending me, I refuse."
"Then Master Ellen, it turns out that you have already returned. Thanks to you, I am doing well here. When I first came, Father Ollie was too old to preside over the affairs of the church, so I happened to take over. Two Years down, as you can see, Levin’s brothers and sisters like me very much."
"If this is the case, it would be a pity. I am coming back this time and I am going to set up my own hunting group. At that time, I think the priest will be happy to join? After all, our team is missing the role of a military doctor."
Father Milo's face changed slightly: "I was a military doctor, yes, but I seem to have mentioned that what I am good at is the psychological trauma."
"The priest can also learn some knowledge of first aid in the field. The priest has been in the army and wants to come and learn by analogy. The progress will definitely be very smooth. Don't worry, it takes time to form a hunting group, and it takes time to prepare for a real expedition. , You still have plenty of time." Allen laughed.
