All the kidnappers were intimidated by El's terrifying appearance, and all but a few of them resisted resolutely to the death, and the rest of the kidnappers surrendered.

"Your Excellency, can you tell me your name, and I hope to leave me a chance to repay the favor. ”

The rescued magician asked in a weak voice, as for the other professional beside him, he had already fainted from blood loss and surprise.

"Al. ”

Al replied honestly that he hadn't thought about leaving a pseudonym or anything like that.

"Al?"

The magician chewed on the name, but his brow furrowed slightly.

He had heard of this name, or rather heard it too much, it should be a fairly common and common name in the Vima Empire, and it would be a little too difficult to get information about his benefactor from this name in the future.

"Then Lord Al, can you sue me about your profession?"

The magician came up with a compromise.

As long as you ask about the other person's occupation or related information, the possibility of finding or noticing the other person in the future is greatly increased.

"Magic apprentice. ”

The magician's eyes puffed out, and his face looked like he was choking.

He didn't ask any more, because he thought that the Cloaked Master named El didn't want to reveal the real information to himself, and it was even possible that the name was fake.

In that case, the magician is not going to do anything nasty.

Originally, such a big thing happened, Al, the main participant, should logically encounter a lot of trouble, although it is logically said that he is the righteous party, and he is a warrior who ended the kidnapper's crime, but on the contrary, he will definitely be investigated fiercely, as long as he has to cooperate with the work of the local police.

But after that, things went amazingly.

The reason is that the identity of the magician rescued by Al is actually the captain of the Imperial Police Force, and this time he was also on a business trip on the float boat, and it happened to happen to such a thing.

However, even without the intervention of that magician, presumably the Imperial Police would not be too embarrassed for Al, after all, he helped the Imperial Police solve a big problem, and it was too late to thank him, let alone be embarrassed.

"That - Mr. Apprentice Magician, may I invite you to dinner? ”

As she disembarked, the half-elf girl invited Al with a slight flush in her cheeks.

Under the hood, Al was slightly stunned, and then a nostalgic expression appeared on his face.

It seems that since leaving the logging village, I have never encountered such a thing and a girl who shows such an expression to herself.

It's quite nostalgic.

However, nostalgia for nostalgia, Al did not agree to the half-elf girl's request because he wanted to go home early to see his mother's gentle smile rather than go to dinner with this strange girl.

And then there are the two little fiancées.

Angel and Angel.

If you stay in the village for a month, you might be able to meet them, because in the past they would come to the logging village about two months or so.

Although I was always bullied and disturbed by them when I was with them, Al missed them a little bit after not seeing them for so long.

It's not that I like them.

It's just that I haven't seen them for a long time and miss them, and if you have a kitten and a puppy that haven't seen them for a long time, you'll miss them, right?

After all, it had been four months and twenty-one days since they arrived.

On the way back, you need to pass through Graystone.

Originally, Al could have passed by this town without making any stops, after all, there was no one Al knew here, but Al still got off the magic shuttle.

He made his way to the place known as the Haunted Mansion alone, but was surprised when Al arrived at his destination.

For what was once a desolate haunted mansion has now changed completely, and the desolate and gloomy mansion that used to be crawling with vines and flying thatch is now a big construction site in full swing.

There are a lot of building materials on the ground, the workers' doors drive the powerful pack beasts back and forth, and the man-powered wheelbarrows and animal-powered two-wheeled vehicles run over the road and raise bursts of dust, and the rudimentary shape of the foundation can be roughly seen to be building a behemoth building complex.

Al's heart was filled with astonishment and inexplicable sadness.

"Uncle, what is being built here? Wasn't this a haunted mansion before?"

Al asked a construction worker who was sitting on the side of the road and resting.

"Haunted Mansion?" the construction worker realized for a moment that the other party was asking himself, and then thought about the word for a while before he said to Al, "I haven't heard of this saying that a new magic station is being built here, and from here you can take a train directly to the provincial capital of Viendo Province." ”

"And what about the previous buildings here?"

"Of course it was bulldozed?" the middle-aged uncle raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't understand such a stupid question. "The kind of building that has been in disrepair for a long time can be completely bulldozed and cleaned up in just two days. ”

The middle-aged uncle had a proud smile on his face that belonged to the builder.

Al wasn't impressed by the smile on the other party's face, nor did he think about how convenient it would be to travel from here to the provincial capital, and Al remembered the previous scene.

That kiss and that little sister who disappeared into the light.

"I'll have to say goodbye. ”

"You're going to wait for me. ”

The ghost girl stretched out her glowing hands, the intense light melting the beautiful shapes of her hands to the point where she couldn't see them, and she put her hands on Al's cheeks and pressed her forehead against Al's.

Countless points of light suddenly flew out of her, like fireflies with sunlight.

"It's agreed. ”

……

There is a word or saying that things are not human, but when it comes to Al, it is not only people, but even things are not there.

There is no way to even see things and think about people anymore, the only thing to rely on is memories.

If he dies too, will no one ever remember that there is a girl in Graystone called Lyell?

However, the legend may be passed down, but no one will ever know that the girl's real name is Nariman, and no one will know how quiet and charming the girl was during her lifetime.

Al stood silently in front of the construction site, as if the dilapidated and desolate mansion was still in front of him.

It seems that the young lady is still alive.

"It's agreed. ”

Can this promise still be fulfilled?

ps: This is the addition of the helmsman before, and it has finally been made up. (To be continued.) )
