Chapter 18: Old Memories
After Kyle left, Alan's time in Selentu became much more uneventful. Although Tiger Cub is still energetic and needs his company at all times, he has more time to complete the system's random tasks.
Hearing Alan say that he wanted to go to the Royal Medicinal Garden, Prince Salvin immediately agreed, and he even invited an assistant pharmacist from the Medicinal Plantation to receive Allen.
Although the third-level pharmacist named Paul looked very enthusiastic, Alan preferred to take his own time - after all, anyone who saw a black bear with a look of disdain and impatience would probably be unable to help but laugh.
"You must have a lot of business to do, so you don't have to accompany me." Alan said with a good understanding of "bear".
If it weren't for His Royal Highness Salvin coming to explain it himself, as a quasi-intermediate pharmacist, Paul wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to this kind of kid at all.
He himself was from a small aristocratic family, so he naturally knew that this young master of the Adrington family had no spiritual power purification ability at all, so what flowers could he see in the medicinal plantation garden many times?
It's just that it is only by relying on a little ancestral yin virtue that he has aroused the pity and sympathy of His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince, and has the opportunity to stay in Selentu. But he is not a real relative of the emperor, is it possible that he still wants to rely on it for the rest of his life? !
Paul was extremely impatient in his heart, but there was no trace on his face: "Recently, many medium-grade medicinal plants have matured, and we are indeed a little busy, but you are a guest of His Royal Highness Salvin, of course you must be important." ”
When Alan repeatedly said that he was just walking around and seeing, and that a person was really fine, Paul reluctantly said, "Since you insist, then I'll do it." This area is all second-class medicinal plants, non-aggressive, please be sure to move around here, it will be very safe. Of course, if you have any other needs, please feel free to contact me. ”
After sending off the arrogant "black bear", Alan was finally able to calm down and study these medicinal plants carefully.
It is really worthy of being the largest medicinal plant garden in Emperor Star, and there are many more varieties of medicinal plants in Selentu than in the Dulan shopping mall, not to mention Allen's space, it is simply the difference between a forest and a small potted plant in comparison.
At the beginning, it was purely to complete the system task, get the task reward and avoid losses at the same time, Alan did not dare to relax and kept working hard.
But as time went on, and he was already a hardworking and serious young man, Alan began to become interested in medicinal plants.
He got to know the "Golden Rose" with a golden character in its name but not a golden color, and also saw the beautiful and gorgeous "Thousand-petal Camellia" and the terrifying-looking "Snake Vine"
These medicinal plants, which are similar and dissimilar to some plants on earth, have their own characteristics and are very interesting to study - this is probably the real reason why Alan asked Prince Salvin to visit the medicinal plantation even if he was red-faced.
In the next two days, Alan observed the form and growth environment of these secondary medicinal plants on the spot, and at the same time looked for the corresponding books in the library of Selentu to compare, and the new task progress bar was quickly carried out by a quarter.
On this day, as usual, he wrote down what he saw in a small notebook, and a gentle voice sounded in his ears.
"You really look like your father."
Alan looked back in surprise to find that Prince Salvin had somehow stood behind him.
"When Randall was a student at the academy, he always wrote and drew on paper," Salvin looked at Allen, but seemed to see someone else through him, "A classmate asked him why he didn't just record it in the terminal, and he said that he liked the feeling of the tip of the pen scratching the paper, which would give him more time to think." ”
Perhaps it was the nostalgia in Salvin's tone that Alan couldn't help but ask him, "How did Your Highness and my father meet?" ”
Salvin smiled and replied, "My paternal family, Galilei and Adrington, are world friends, so we've known each other since childhood. I was two years older than him, and I went on to study in the Mecha Department of the Royal Academy, and then served in the Third Legion. We are classmates, comrades-in-arms, and friends, so to speak. ”
Since it is a world friend, why is Uncle Rolf wary and even hateful of His Royal Highness Salvin?
Seeing Alan's fleeting doubts, Salvin was a little surprised - Rolf hadn't even said those things to Alan?! And what about Cynthia's thing? Didn't he mention it to Allen either?
Salvin looked at Alan's dark green eyes, and his thoughts drifted away
It was the year 1608, five years after Beckwell married him, and they had their first child.
In the same year, the Far Star War broke out, and he immediately led his troops to the front line, still serving as the emperor's * marshal.
In 1612, according to the Emperor's deployment, Randall's Third Legion went to the Far Star Field, when Allen was just full moon.
Later, the war was extremely tense, and even Cynthia unfortunately died, and Randall was unable to return.
Three years later, during a change of defense, the First Legion originally led by him was suddenly attacked by the Zerg, and Randall arrived at reinforcements at the last moment with Beckwell's orders.
Although they managed to break through in the end, both he and Randle were seriously injured.
Salvin had always been well aware that Rolf hated Beckwell because he had ordered Randall's troops to be drawn to support the First Legion; Rolf hated him, because he survived, and Randall, died
Alan sensed that Salvin seemed to be stuck in some kind of bad memory.
Because his mental power fluctuations became extremely violent, Alan finally saw Salvin's spiritual power beast for the first time - an adult Star South Tiger!
"Your Highness? Your Highness! Neither Salvin nor the Star Tiger looked good, and Alan could only interrupt his memories with a loud voice.
Salvin was startled by Allen's voice, came back to his senses, and slowly regained his composure, he patted Allen on the shoulder: "There are some things, if we don't tell you now, it's not that we want to hide it from you, but I just hope that when you can judge things independently, you can find the answer yourself." "Whatever answer you find, we respect it.
Without further discussion on this topic, Salvin pointed to a blue plant in front of him and asked Allen, "Okay, sue me, what are you looking at now?" Is this a nightshade plant? ”
After saying goodbye to Salvin, Alan took his little notebook and walked to the room, he didn't really understand what His Highness Salwyn said, but thought that the stories must be sad - even if he had no memory of his original father, the people in the castle only mentioned his talent, his abilities, his rank.
This is the first time that Randall's "little habits" have been mentioned in front of Allen - it seems to be the real Randall.
When he first arrived at Samuel, Alan was bent on hiding himself. So he has been living cautiously, hoping to be as independent as possible, and one day he can live on his own without Adrington.
However, after going through so many things and getting to know so many people, Alan asked himself, can he still leave these things behind lightly and leave alone?
However, he didn't get an answer.
It's just that at this time Alan didn't know that history was once strikingly similar, and another person made a choice.
