Sanji was a little at a loss, but Evan patted him on the shoulder very naturally, smiled and quipped:

"Someone is afraid that someone has forgotten that in the name of Aunt Mary at that time, it seems that you were the one who wanted to stop me from joining the army, right?!"

"Hahaha, is there one? I don't remember. ”

Sanji clutched the back of his head and pretended to be stupid, just as clumsy as he had been a year ago.

After all.

Who would have thought that a teenager who insisted on joining the kingdom's navy would have grown to such an extent today when he was asking himself to collect information on naval bases and conscription a year ago?

"By the way, who is this?" After the recollection, the sense of alienation that he hadn't seen in a year faded away, and Evan had a chance to ask Sanji about the capable woman standing behind the counter.

"Hehe, this is my wife, Sharon, I told you before you left. Oh, and her home is in Xicheng District, which you may not have seen before. Sanji took his wife's hand and said as if he was a little proud.

At this time, I can't see the shyness I had at all.

'I already know you're not a single dog anymore, and you don't need to show it off anymore...

While slandering in his heart, Evan also remembered that before he joined the army, Sanji had told him that he was engaged to the tailor's daughter. Now that a year has passed, it's normal to be married.

"That's right!" Ignoring Sharon's shyness as she twisted Sanchi's back, Evan took out a delicate silver pocket watch from his bosom and handed it to Sanji with a smile.

"I wasn't in Leopold when you got married, so this is a wedding gift for you. ”

"This—this is too expensive for us to want. Even if he had never owned a pocket watch of his own, Sanchi knew the value of such a luxury item and refused to do so.

"Take it, if you want to make the potion mix of higher quality, time control is the key! In fact, the current Ai Wen can no longer look down on the income of this small shop, which is at most a few dozen golden lions a year.

Because of the original "Ocean Secret Treasure" transaction, he got the Southern Continent Vanilla Manor, and there was at least a thousand golden lions of net income every year. And as a powerful captain, using his current identity to plan well will only get more benefits.

Now it's just a matter of finding a reason for Sanji to accept the gift.

It doesn't matter if he can make money or not, Evan just wants this small shop that carried the most difficult days for himself and Grandpa Leo to continue to exist.

As an apothecary instead of an empty house!

"That's... Alright!" Sanji agreed to accept the expensive gift, but as the acting manager of the pharmacy, he insisted that the proceeds of the year of Aven's absence be handed over to him immediately.

An honest man who can't resist his straight temperament, Ai Wen can only put a total of eighty-six gold lions and two silver cows into his pocket.

But didn't he choose Sanji as the manager of the small store in the first place?

Now that he has returned to his hometown and can see the smooth operation of the small shop, and the life of Sanchi and his wife is also very beautiful, Ai Wen feels like he has let go of a concern in his heart, and he is sincerely happy for them.

Secondly, in addition to the supplementary gift, he did not intend to use his power to change their lives, let alone give an extra-standard gift.

For ordinary people, the magnificence of galloping on the sea may not be as peaceful and joyful as living in a small town.

Jingle Bell –

The bell hanging from the door rang again.

"Graeme?"

Ai Wen couldn't help but be happy when he saw the people who walked in, and when he came back today, he was most familiar with a few friends. It was none other than his hunter friend Grim, who had fought alongside him.

"You're... Aven?!"

Graham hesitated slightly, but perhaps because of his insight as a hunter, he had a much shorter reaction time than Sanji.

However, when he noticed the major uniform on Aiwen's body, he instantly saluted and said:

"Sir, greetings to Grim, the third squad of the Leopold City Guard!"

"Rest, soldier!"

After the solemn execution of the etiquette of the army's superiors and subordinates, Evan also noticed that Grim was wearing the uniform of the city guard.

"Graeme, how did you join the City Guard?

Seeing that Ai Wen's tone was warm, there was no difference between his identity gap and his attitude towards himself in the past, Grim also relaxed a little and smiled:

"My son was born. For the sake of the family, it is better to protect the city guards. Your Excellency still admires me!"

"Congratulations!"

At this time, Sanji took out a package that had been wrapped in advance from behind the counter and handed it to Graeme: "This is the medicine for this injury, tell me in advance when it's not enough." ”

"Okay, thank you Sanji!" Graeme took the package and thanked Sanji.

"This is?" Because of Aiwen's own relationship, he knew that the two of them had known each other for a long time, and they often moved around. I just don't know which one this is today?

"Oh, Sanji is very business-minded. Now it has undertaken a part of the supply of medicines for the city guards, although the amount is not large, but it is a good start.

Hehe, at least more than you paid more attention to this store than when you were there. ”

Probably because the familiarity between friends had returned, and Graham made a joke about Aven.

This made him a little embarrassed, he never thought that Ai Wen, who had tied himself to this pharmacy all his life, was just "running" in the past.

Although the ordinary potion formula that Grandpa Leo once left behind worked well, Evan never thought of expanding the sales channel and expanding the market, making the pharmacy bigger and stronger. Compared to Sanji's current efforts, he is really not a qualified store manager.

"Hahaha..."Evan could only laugh twice to hide the past.

Jingle Bell –

What's the matter today, there are a lot of people coming to this small shop, why didn't there be such a good business before?

Several of the people in the conversation looked back at the same time, and it was not a customer, but a person who was very familiar to the city's residents.

"Your Excellency!" this is Sanji and his wife, Sharon.

"Sir!" said Grime.

"Sir?" this is Aven, whom he once had a relationship with.

"Aven... Major, it's you!"

Lord Nabry, dressed in a beautiful aristocratic hunting costume and with a long sword hanging from his waist, walked through the door, and his eyes lit up the moment he saw Aven.

As the chief of the city guard in a small city, Lord Nabry and Aven's major ranks are actually similar, but the natural suppression of the transcendent level makes him really inferior to Aven.

Those who can break through the official knight before the age of twenty can be called a genius, and those who break through before the age of thirty can be regarded as talents.

And the age of thirty is just a hurdle, and if you want to break through the extraordinary, it will only become more and more difficult year by year, and when the body function begins to decline after the age of thirty-five, the probability of making a breakthrough is almost zero.

Lord Nabry, who was already thirty-five years old, had obviously given up on advancing a long time ago, and his strength had hardly changed compared to a year earlier.

A year ago, Evan was just an ordinary civilian boy, and in just one year, the comparison of the identities of the two sides was almost reversed.

While making him sigh, his face was also slightly complicated, but with the cultivation of a senior nobleman, he still controlled his emotions very well, and said very enthusiastically:

"Haha, welcome Major Aven home! Lord Viscount heard that Your Excellency is back....."

After the city hall staff who handed over the letter today returned, they reported to them that the captain of the "Conch" had been replaced.

When he heard the staff report that the name of the new captain was "Evan Galiot", Viscount Andrea, as the consul, thought of some rumors he had heard before, and suddenly couldn't sit still.

Although it was still a little hard to believe the rumors, in order to show his attention, he immediately sent his right-hand man Lord Nabry to invite Aven, the new captain.

"Okay, when I come back this time, I was going to visit His Excellency the Viscount. ”

It just so happened that Evan also wanted to visit Viscount Andrea, who had given him a letter of recommendation, arranged a separate passenger ship, and helped him immensely, and gladly accepted his invitation.

"Please! Major Aven!"

Bidding farewell to a few former friends, Evan took Gary and the Lord to the Viscount's sumptuous carriage to the town hall.
