"Yes, being with Alan is our greatest luck. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Kevin couldn't help but sigh on the side, but his words sounded much more sycophant. Kevin came to the ancient city of Aogu City, from doing nothing to becoming a trade officer in the ancient city of Aogu today, and owning the equity of the weapon store that allows him to live a life of fine clothes and food, which can be regarded as a lot of gains, although it mainly depends on his own ability, but if Alan does not create opportunities for him, he is likely to still be idle in the weapon shop of the boss of Aple, so it is not surprising that he can feel this way.

Listening to the words of the two people praising him, Alan not only did not leak any joy, but sighed, and only he could understand the sadness and pain.

Although Kevin still had a lot to say, considering that Alan had just returned, he looked a little tired, and their family was reunited, so it was inconvenient to disturb him too much, so he got up to say goodbye, and Bloom also stood up to say goodbye together.

Alan originally wanted to keep the two of them for dinner together, but the two of them politely refused, so he didn't force it, he hadn't seen him for a few months, and he now had a lot to ask Steven.

"Mother and son, aren't they here?"

On the way back from sending Kevin and Bloom outside the gate, Alan first asked about the whereabouts of Isa's mother and son, and it seemed that they did not live with Steven, otherwise he would not have come out to see each other when he came back.

"They're all in Iron Pine now. Last fall, after the second auction in the store, I gave a part of the profits to Isha as agreed, a total of 20,000 gold coins, to help those nomads from the grassland, Isha was not worried about handing over the money to the mayor of Aple, so last autumn I took Lynch back to Tiesong Town, and presided over the resettlement of refugees with Aple, I couldn't keep it, so I could only agree to let them go back. ”

Steven replied.

"What about Stanny?"

The little girl asked from the side.

"After Stanny came back from Moonbay Village, he heard that Harvey had returned from his mission, so he went to Iron Pine Town with him, and the two of them practiced swordsmanship together every day, and they were almost forgotten about us, but he used to mention you a lot, and sometimes he called your name in his dreams, and if he knew that you missed him so much, he would definitely rush back. ”

Steven laughed.

"Hmph! If he dares to forget me, I will scorch him with a bolt of lightning. ”

The little girl waved her little fist as if demonstrating.

"Don't underestimate him, his current swordsmanship is very powerful, and Captain Havech praises him as a one-in-a-million swordsmanship wizard. ”

Steven said.

"Steven, where did Big Brother Hackitch go? We went to the store when we came back, why didn't we see him? We have an employment agreement, he shouldn't leave. ”

As soon as Steven mentioned Havech, Alan remembered the change of guards in the store, and he thought that Captain Hackich was the one who was replaced because he left on other tasks, so he asked.

"Brother-in-law, our employment agreement with Captain Harditch is still there, but Isha returned to Ironpine Town with a large amount of gold coins, and I didn't feel at ease, so I asked Captain Harditch to take the mercenary team to protect him along the way. Later, I heard that the law and order in Tiesong Town was very chaotic, the composition of the refugees was complicated, and there were even factions in it, plus many merchants, adventurers, and people with ill intentions went there to look for opportunities, and robberies and murders often occurred, so I simply left Captain Hardich's mercenary team over there to be responsible for the safety of Isa's mother and son. Am I not doing it right? Do you want me to call Captain Havech back right now?"

Steven explained cautiously.

"You did the right thing, Isa's husband Sterling died to save me, it is not easy to leave them orphans and widows, and Iron Pine Town is not what it used to be, Isha and her family have huge resources, and it is easy to be coveted by bad people, we must fulfill our responsibility to protect no matter what, otherwise I am really ashamed of the dead Brother Sterling. But, Steven, why did you hire Quake to be our store's guard, don't you know he's a man of bad character?"

Knowing the reason for Captain Havech's absence, Alan felt a lot more at ease, and then naturally asked about Quake, it is said that the most important thing in the ancient city of Aogu is mercenaries, it is very easy to find a few mercenary guards, and to be a guard in the store, the safety factor is high, the commission is also good, and there is no need to travel far from home, it is the best choice for many older mercenaries like Havech, but I don't know why Steven chose Quake, who had a conflict with him.

"Brother-in-law, this matter is a long story, let's go back and sit down and drink saliva first, and then I will explain it to you slowly. “

Steven took Alan to his study, the study area is not large, and the bookshelves against the wall are full of all kinds of thick books, Alan probably glanced at it, among which there are many books on history, law, and philosophy, and what is placed on the table at this time is a "General History of the Mainland", which should be the book that Steven is currently reading.

"It's good to like to read. But just take a look at this book, don't take the contents too seriously. ”

Alan took the "General History of the Continent" in his hand and flipped through it gently, this book he had also read roughly when he was at the Academy of Magic, but now that he thinks about it, the history recorded in it has been tampered with too much, and it has long been unrecognizable compared to the real history, Cronis once used it as "a historical novel with humans as the protagonists" to evaluate it, because in fact, in the long history of continental civilization, the history of humans as the protagonists is the shortest.

"I was meant to read stories, and you don't pass the time with these stories when I'm bored alone. ”

Steven took the "General History of the Continent" from Allen and put it back on the shelf, and said with a smile:

"Brother-in-law, I would like to hire a tutor to teach me some knowledge, otherwise I feel that I have too little knowledge when dealing with clients. ”

"Okay! Go back and ask Kevin to help you find a few, not only you, but Stanny and Miranda need to learn too. ”

The three little ones have lived in isolation for too long, and they really need to learn so that they can better integrate into the outside world. In fact, there is a mercenary school and a technical school in the ancient city of Aogu, the mercenary school is mainly to train swordsmen, in the school, the students will receive physical training and swordsmanship training, this school is mainly for the mercenary group to train mercenaries at the grassroots level, the students of the technical school learn mining, smelting and forging and other skills, the role of the school is to train workers for mines and factories. The two schools were established to serve the children of the middle and lower class residents of the ancient city of Aokuko-ku, and the schools were not for profit and charged cheaply.

In addition, there is a school for the children of the wealthy class, where students can study military, law, arithmetic, etc. according to their hobbies, and students have the right to choose their profession freely after graduation, but the fees of this school are many times more expensive than the other two.

In addition to schooling, there was also a kind of homeschooling, in which some knowledgeable teachers were brought back to their homes to teach, and because of the extremely expensive fees, only large merchants and aristocratic families would choose.

Although Alan is neither a nobleman nor a big businessman now, the profits of the magic weapon shop are so high that it is indeed not a problem to invite a few teachers, so when he heard Steven's request, he immediately agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Seeing that Alan agreed, Steven was very happy, and poured Alan a glass of water before sitting next to him and explaining why he hired Quake.

The story is really long, starting from the time he was defeated by Steven in the castle of Ogu Villa.
