Chapter 162: A Late Reminder

So Alan wants to find the old man to find out the identity of this strange stone, if the old man still insists on not saying it, Alan would rather return the stone to the old man, otherwise Alan is always worried that this stone will bring him ** annoyance.

It was precisely because of these three reasons that Alan rode his horse to Nanshan in a hurry, and prayed to the old man to slow down along the way.

The most important point is that little Rick has always been very friendly to Allen, and Alan also likes this little guy who seems to be innocent and honest, but is actually a strange elf.

Alan whipped all the way, the inner thighs were worn out, and finally rushed to the outside of Kanazawa Yuan before dusk, what made Alan panic was that he rushed to the outside of Kanazawa Manor at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, and he didn't see the shadow of the old man.

Could it be that they came out late, they had an accident on the way, or they had already arrived at Kanazawaen in advance.

Alan pondered as he drove his horse to the gate of the manor.

Alan is no stranger to Kanazawaen, in the competition held with the Knight Academy more than half a year ago, their residence was Kanazawaen, and now it is just a revisit.

Although Kanazawaen is the royal palace, the royal family or important nobles come here every spring, summer and autumn for vacation, summer or hunting, and there is a special royal hunting ground on the south mountain next to Kanazawaen, which is stocked with all kinds of wild animals, and the south mountain is the highest mountain near Boulder City, and the top of the mountain is even covered with snow all year round, so it is also a summer resort in summer.

It's just that in winter, the Kanazawaen Palace will usher in the quietest season, and even the guards and servants inside will take a lot of vacations, leaving only a small number of guards to prevent fire and theft.

Just outside such an empty and somewhat gloomy manor, Alan looked at the empty closed iron door and was stunned.

Alan was going to go to the door and ask the guards, if the old man and grandson were not here at all, he was going to turn around and go to a nearby town to stay overnight, and then go to Phelps Manor tomorrow to ask, maybe there was something bad about it, the old man and grandson may not have come in this direction at all, and everything that was unfavorable to the old man and grandson might be his own conjecture. But to his great surprise, there was not even a guard at the gate of the manor.

Alan jumped off his horse, holding the reins and slowly walked to a side door next to the gate, he thought that maybe there were guards lazy to hide next to rest, or even sleep, so he stretched out his hand to knock on the iron side door, but when he touched the iron door, before he could use too much force, the iron door "creaked" and shook a little, revealing a gap.

"What's going on?" Alan couldn't help but take a few steps back, looking at the iron gate in surprise.

"Aren't the doors of the palace unlocked?"

By this time, Alan already felt that things were a little weird, so he decided to leave first, otherwise maybe the old man and grandson would be fine, and he would be unlucky, and he could not afford to trespass on the royal territory.

But just as Alan turned his head to leave, out of the corner of his eye, through the crack in the open iron door, he suddenly saw a black carriage parked inside.

So Alan stopped, and he clearly remembered that at the gate of Phelps Manor, the doorman told him that the old man, grandson, and housekeeper each came in a black carriage in the direction of Nanshan.

Alan doesn't believe in coincidences, and since they're all here, of course they have to figure it out.

So Allen, ignoring the danger of being discovered, quietly pushed open the iron door, and a creaking sound sounded so thrilling to hear in the silence of the night.

Two blackened carriages were parked in the square inside the palace gates, and the horses pulling them were bowing their heads to gnaw on the clumps of dead grass that peeked out of the light snow on the lawn. Other than that, there was silence all around.

Alan cautiously walked over to the carriage and lifted the curtain of the carriage, which was empty.

Alan didn't give up, he continued to walk along the square, walked to the bottom of a tall rockery, and climbed up along the rockery, then stood at the top of the rockery, looked at the buildings in the palace, and then he vaguely saw that there seemed to be light coming out of a courtyard not far from the square, and then he got off the rockery, along the dark corner of the edge of the square, vigilantly walked towards the courtyard where the light came out.

As he approached the courtyard, Alan had already heard faint voices coming from inside, and he walked softly into the courtyard, and the voices in the room became clearer.

Allen's heart was finally a little more steady, because he heard that it was the old man Louis who was talking at this time, Allen listened to a few words carefully, and then understood that it seemed that the old man Louis was brought here to wait for a nobleman who was suffering from a hidden disease and did not want to reveal his identity, but the nobleman was late and did not show up until now, so the old man was complaining, and another voice was persuading the old man to wait for a while.

Since the old man was fine, Alan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Knock knock!"

Alan decided that he still wanted to tell the old man about the situation in person, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Who!"

An unfamiliar voice asked, with an inexplicable panic in his tone, probably he himself did not expect that someone would suddenly knock on the door at this place at this time.

"Mr. Louis, I'm Alan Kanter, and I've got something to talk to you about. ”

The door was unlocked, and Alan pushed it open and walked in. "Alan, why are you here?"

The old man was obviously taken aback when he saw Allen's figure, in fact, even Alan felt that it was a little strange for him to appear here, let alone someone else.

"Brother Allen!"

Little Rick was walking around the elaborately decorated room, looking around as if looking for something of value, and he was equally surprised to see Alan.

"Hey, Rick, long time no see. ”

Alan greeted little Rick before continuing to the old man:

"Mr. Louis, I have something very important to talk to you about, you see?"

As he spoke, Allen's gaze looked at another middle-aged man in the room.

"Well, let's go talk outside. ”

As he spoke, the old man stood up and followed Eren out.

"Sir, there may be people who want to work against you. ”

Alan didn't have any extra nonsense, and he opened his mouth to say what he was worried about. But when the old man heard his words, he did not show a surprised expression, he first looked at Alan deeply, and then said in a deep voice:

"Old man, I have practiced medicine and saved people all my life, and I have done countless good deeds, how can anyone want to harm me?"

"Sir, don't you believe what I say?"

Alan immediately realized that he might be a little reckless, so he told what he had seen and guessed.

"You mean there's a man with a big forehead and a big eyebrow among them?"

"Yes!"

"Huh!"

"Thank you, Alan, but you really shouldn't have been here today. ”
