"Oh, just say something. Alan said with some surprise.

"I once asked you at the forge what you're here for?"

"It turned out to be this. Alan sighed and said:

"Your father was not worried about your brother and your mother before he left, so I will take care of you so that his spirit in heaven can rest in peace. ”

"Uncle Allen, I thank you on behalf of my father, he will be proud to have you as a friend in heaven. ”

Harvey's thin frame seemed to shiver a little in the bitter cold of a winter morning, but the voice it uttered was surprisingly determined.

There was a sour feeling in Allen's heart, he didn't expect Harvey, the boy who had always hated him, to say such a thing when he left.

"Thank you! Your dad will be proud of your son, too. Take care of your mom and brother, I'll come back to see you when I have time. ”

After saying that, Alan urged the horse to leave Iron Pine Town, but this time, I don't know how many years later Alan came back, and how Alan was heartbroken and haggard at that time.

When Alan arrived at the agreed hotel, the mercenaries for this mission had been assembled and completed, this is a slightly larger mercenary team, there are more than a dozen people, the captain of the team is called Mike, and Hackitch are both members of the Brave Heart mercenary group, and they were teammates before, so the relationship is very good.

Although Captain Mike has not worked with Allen's father, he has long admired his name, and heard from Harditch about Allen's heroic performance in the battle with the Wind Wolf King, so he was very enthusiastic about Allen's arrival, and soon introduced some of his mercenaries to Allen, Allen also likes these straightforward people, so he quickly mingles with these mercenaries with rough appearance and straightforward personality. Alan could see that although this team of mercenaries was relatively numerous, there was a significant gap between their strength and the team led by Havic.

That night, a group of people gathered in the bar to fight, Alan had experience, and used some skills, in the face of a small team of mercenaries, the car ** battle actually drank to a dry glass, without fear, this time won everyone's favor.

The next day, after a full day's rest, Captain Mike went alone to contact his employer to discuss a departure for tomorrow.

Alan took advantage of the rest time to chat with several other mercenaries and asked about the mission.

Soon, Alan figured out that this was a simple caravan escort, the employer was a big businessman, and he purchased a large amount of furs from the northern nomads, as well as some products from the ancient city of Aocheng, and was ready to take advantage of the winter to transport them back to Boulder City and sell them for a good price, but he didn't expect that the heavy snow blocked him, and now he finally waited for the road to be clear, and he couldn't wait to get ready to go on the road.

Although the route from Aogucheng to Boulder City is remote, due to the important strategic location, the empire has been investing a lot of energy in public security, especially now affected by the Bauhinia War, the situation is tense, so there is no particularly big danger, the reason why the mercenary team is hired is more to prevent the invasion of wild beasts and the recklessness of individual thieves.

Knowing these circumstances, Alan was also relieved, he just wanted to return to the imperial capital smoothly and complete his studies, but he didn't want to cause any more trouble.

The next day, the mercenary team rendezvoused with the caravan at the inn where the caravan was stationed, and Alan met the caravan owner.

The caravan owner was a short, fat man, from the south of the mainland, with a pair of round faces that were childlike and undeceitful, and he did not smile or speak when he saw people, and only occasionally talked about money that could catch a shrewd look from his small eyes.

"Are all businessmen fat people with round faces?"

Looking at the owner of the caravan, Alan couldn't help but think of the image of Aple, so he scolded a little unkindly.

The caravan owner was also very friendly and kind to Allen, especially when he heard that he was still a magician, and even praised Allen, which made Allen have a good impression of him.

The way back is far more difficult than when you came. In addition to following the caravan, Alan either sat by the fire and meditated at the rest of the time, or lay down in the bed to sleep, but the drinking that could not be let go during the mission inevitably made Alan a little unhappy.

I don't know why, after this trip, the rum that I didn't like very much has made Alan a little craving.

So although the itinerary along the way is dull, it is still relatively relaxed, with a lot of free time.

One of the happiest times during the day is to talk and brag with other people, because most of the mercenaries and businessmen travel from south to north and south, they have rich experience, but through chatting, Alan has gained a lot of knowledge.

And what they talked about the most was the upcoming major event of Emperor Higg XIII being baptized by Emperor Hepburn, which is said to have alarmed almost all the forces on the continent, but except for the fact that Emperor Yusman said that Busman Roland Higg's move was insulting to his ancestors, the other forces did not say a word, including the Elven Empire, which had been living in seclusion in the primeval forest, also remained silent.

At this time, when this caravan departed, it is estimated that the baptismal procession of the Holy See was also on its way to Higg.

In the evening, Alan would lean on the stove to read some alchemy notes, in addition to the practical experience of dealing with crises on this trip, Allen's greatest growth actually came from alchemy.

Although the level of those weapons made by Alan is not very high, after all, it is a magic weapon made by him himself, from inexperience to writing magic runes with his eyes closed, it seems to be a skilled process, but Alan has experienced the magic and power of alchemy, so Alan used this rare travel leisure time to study more and more advanced alchemy techniques, because of the previous experience, it now seems that the content of the notes has become easier to understand and more valuable.

Through the use of alchemy, Alan solved the dilemma of life for the Stirling family and brought a life of abundance, which gave him a sense of accomplishment and changed his view of alchemy, at least not as full of copper as it seems on the surface, and when used well, it will bring happiness and joy. This is also an important reason why Alan is ready to delve deeper into alchemy.

So along the way, Alan spent this time in such a state of hurrying, practicing, and learning, at first Alan was still anxious, but then gradually calmed down and began to enjoy this rare peace and relaxation.

Time passed day by day, and the distance from Boulder City was getting closer and closer, and on this day, a group of people stopped as they passed through a small town, and they stopped for two days.
