"Alan, you don't have to blame yourself, your choice is not wrong, revenge is important, but Miranda and the others are the only remaining bloodlines in Yuewan Village, their lives and health are more important than anything else, and preserving them is more important than anything else, so no matter what the result is, the people in this underground can only thank you, and no one will blame you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

That night, when Alan cried until he had no strength, Uncle Alba learned from his hoarse mouth that the decision that made him resolute on the surface but extremely entangled in his heart, and finally Uncle Alba put the cigarette pouch and pot on the stone under his feet and knocked it down, and then made a final decision on the matter in a resolute tone:

"The affairs of the living are always more important than the affairs of the dead. ”

Uncle Alba patted Allen on the shoulder and left the old saying. Alan listened to it but was noncommittal, although this sentence sounded somewhat reasonable, but after all, it came from the mouth of a living person, and he did not consult the opinion of the dead.

But no matter what, as a survivor of Yuewan Village, and an elder, Alba's words helped, and from that night on, Allen's mood calmed down a lot, although he was still immersed in grief, but he was no longer completely out of control like he was on the first day. Uncle Alba built a simple shed in front of Bai Lanxue's cemetery to shelter him from the sun and rain, and Alan sat by the shed every day, drinking peach blossom wine, and talking to the cemetery all day long, as if he had endless words, he was like a madman, his expression was sometimes sad, sometimes happy, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, as if he was not facing a cold tombstone, but a person of flesh and blood, who could listen and communicate with him. Uncle Alba thought he was really crazy, but as soon as he left the cemetery, he immediately behaved like an ordinary person.

"Uncle Alba, I just have so much to say to her, and I'm going to tell her I've always been here and never left. ”

When Alba couldn't help but comfort Alan, he pointed to his chest and replied, and Alba was relieved to see that he had a very clear awareness of his actions.

Alan stayed for a month, until the peach blossoms in the mountains bloomed again, he and Alba father and son picked a lot of wild flowers, a cemetery by cemetery, and filled all the cemeteries in the cemetery, when a spring rain shook off the blooming peach blossoms, Alan had to pack up his sadness and embark on the journey back to the ancient city of Ao.

"Don't ask for perfection, but ask for a worthy heart!"

Alba and his son kept sending Alan to the path outside the village, and then old Alba held Allen's hand and admonished.

"Uncle, I understand, you take care of little Alba, everything is so precious. ”

After Alan finished speaking, he took out the combined magic array from his bag and began to install it, and little Alba hugged Allen's thigh and didn't want him to leave, and finally Uncle Alba was ruthless to hold his son away, so that Alan sat on the flying magic array, slowly lifted into the air, and gradually went away.

Three days later, Eren returned to Steven's courtyard and immediately summoned the others.

"Alan, why did you come back?"

As soon as he saw Alan, Bloom complained:

"It's time to set off, and by the time we reach the Cullen Mountains, I'm afraid we've already missed the time. ”

According to the experience of previous years, the mercenary team escorting the tribute should have set off half a month in advance, and the mercenary union had already urged it several times, but fortunately, the head of the Nelson regiment came forward to stop it. Even so, Bloom was in a hurry, and the escort of tribute was different from other missions, and it could only succeed and not fail.

"Don't worry, I've already thought about it, and we'll be able to catch up. ”

Alan said unhurriedly, looking like he was in a good position, and Bloom didn't ask much, because he knew that he believed that Alan would not make a mistake in this kind of thing.

Alan asked about everyone's cultivation progress.

Bloom has now reached the peak state of a high-level swordsman, Harvey and Stanny have just stepped into the threshold of a high-level swordsman, Elvis is already a high-level magician of the water and earth systems, and Miranda is a high-level magician of the air system and an intermediate magician of the fire system.

After learning about everyone's current cultivation strength, Alan was very satisfied, if he had such a team a year ago, it would not have taken so much trouble to exterminate the Bolsma bandits. Now the difference is to meet a dragon, I hope this treasure trip will not let me down, as long as I can meet the dragon even if it is unwilling to cooperate with him, with this team Alan is fully confident to force the dragon to cooperate. However, this premise is that you only encounter one dragon, and if you encounter a group, then there is only one option to run. But will they run into a group of dragons? Obviously not, dragons are not social animals, and it's hard to say if the dragons left on the continent can form a group.

Alan informed everyone to stop cultivating, immediately packed their bags, and prepared to go up to the Kulen Mountains. In fact, Bloom had already prepared everyone before he returned, and was ready to go now.

Allen, Bloom, Elvis, Harvey, Stanny, Miranda, plus Fresnel and Sergei, a total of eight people formed a squad to escort the tribute. For Fresnel and Sergei, Alan was not going to take them with him, he preferred that the two of them stay to protect Steven's safety, but Fresnel and Sergei's attitude was very clear that their task was to protect the Great Elder, of course, at the request of the Great Elder, they could also provide protection for others by the way, but this was definitely not in the case of giving up protecting the Great Elder, and they were also very angry at Allen's previous behavior of returning to Yuewan Village alone without saying hello, so Alan finally compromised because of the stubbornness of the two people, after all, the strength of the two of them is not weak, and he will be more sure of the two of them for this trip。

The escorted tribute had already been collected by Bloom's mercenary group, and it was smashed into several long wooden boxes nailed with iron sheets, with seals with special marks on them, and Alan didn't know what was inside, and he wasn't curious. He had Steven hire four wagons to load the tribute and food, water, and other items he had with him onto one of them, and some bundles of bamboo, planks, ropes, and fur onto the other three. Ellen again told Kevin to take good care of Steven during his time away.

"Brother-in-law, come back early!"

Alan waved goodbye to the red-eyed Steven, and the group quietly left the ancient city of Aogu, heading northwest along the main road.
