According to Carl's sister-in-law, she only went out to fetch water yesterday afternoon, and when she returned, Rick disappeared, and only a strip of cloth left by a little Rick was found in the house.
Alan was shocked, and took the strip of cloth handed by Carl's sister-in-law, only to see a sentence written on it:
"Brother Allen, I'm leaving, don't look for me, don't worry, grandpa left me enough money to spend in my lifetime. ”
Alan looked at the crooked handwriting, it should be the masterpiece of little Rick, and there is no need for Carl's sister-in-law to lie to herself in this matter, if they really want to be unfavorable to Rick, they can betray themselves together, and there is no need to come up with a lie to risk being exposed.
Alan didn't blame Carl's sister-in-law, because judging from the content on the strip of cloth, Little Rick's disappearance should have been planned by him in advance, but he was an eight-year-old child wandering alone on the mainland, and Alan was indeed a little uneasy. Now that it's getting dark, Alan plans to go to the nearby villages and towns at dawn tomorrow to inquire about Rick's whereabouts.
The next day, Alan rode out of the mountain hut early on horseback, and walked through two villages in a row, asking the local residents if anyone had seen a strange child of about eight years old passing by. As a result, half a morning passed, but nothing was found.
Alan had to give up, because he knew that he couldn't post a missing person notice, which would only put Rick in a more dangerous situation, and the Holy See and the Phelps family had their eyes all over the continent, and who knew if there were any of them nearby.
In the evening, Alan returns to Garrison and tells Captain Mike that due to some temporary changes, the plan to escort them has been cancelled.
Although Captain Mike felt a little strange, he saw that Alan was preoccupied and not in a high mood, so he didn't ask much, but just dragged him to the Traveler's House for a few drinks, but Alan was drunk and soon drunk, which was very different from the amount of alcohol he had when he first met.
The next morning, Alan sent Captain Mike and his party on their way home, and then turned his horse's head back to the Academy of Magic alone, although he was anxious about Rick's disappearance at this time, but there was nothing he could do, and the fanfare search would only put Rick in danger, and looking for a needle in a haystack in private.
Thinking of this, Alan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of the old man's will, but since Little Rick took the initiative to run away, he was afraid that no matter how well he protected him, he couldn't keep him, so now he can only hope that the old man will have a spirit in the sky to bless Little Rick with good fortune.
Back at the Academy of Magic, it was getting late, and Alan walked into the dormitory, fell headlong into the bed, and fell asleep. At this moment, he was really physically and mentally exhausted, experiencing a great change in life and death, and his whole person was like shedding a layer of skin, and then he ran hundreds of miles in two days, even a strong swordsman may not be able to stand it, not to mention that he is just a thin magician.
In his sleep, Alan faintly heard someone calling him, but he really didn't have the slightest desire to open his eyes, just turned over and continued to sleep, this sleep until the next day, until the smell of barbecue in the dream aroused his hungry nerves, and finally he woke up hungry.
"You finally woke up, I thought you had slept to death?"
As soon as Alan opened his eyes, Elvis's familiar voice rang in his ears.
"El, when did you come back?"
Alan rolled over and sat up from the bed, and then saw Elvis sitting on the edge of the table munching on a roasted oily leg of lamb, where the scent of the dream came from.
"Gollum!"
Allen's stomach rang uncontrollably.
"Give me half one!"
Alan unceremoniously made his request.
"No, unless you honestly explain where you've been in the past few days. ”
Elvis also unceremoniously refused, and then offered a quid pro quo.
"You're still not a brother, and you can't even share a broken leg of lamb?"
Alan couldn't wait to get his hands dirty.
"You're still not a brother, and when you come back, you don't say hello, and you play missing?"
Elvis dodged and countered at the same time, but the leg of lamb in his hand was still grabbed by Allen A large piece of it.
Alan tore a piece of lamb and put it in his mouth, then gobbled it down, picked up another cup from the table, and poured a glass of rum.
A glass of wine poured into his stomach, and Alan said with a wry smile:
"Would you believe me if I said I went to shake hands with Death?"
"Why didn't you say you went and shook hands with the God of Light?"
"So if I say that I caused the volcanic eruption in Nanshan, do you believe it?"
"Why don't you say that the dragon knight Graces was also killed by you?"
"Because I didn't do that. ”
"You did the eruption? Come, tell me more about it, how did you do it?"
Elvis was carrying a leg of mutton in his hand, and looking at his disdainful expression was like looking at an ant that claimed to have knocked down an elephant with its legs stretched out.
"Well, I was wrong. ”
Alan looked back at the backpack he threw next to the bed, if Elvis knew that the culprit of the Nanshan volcanic eruption was obediently lying in it at this time, would he be so frightened that he peed his pants?
"Seeing that your attitude of admitting your mistake is not bad, this half leg of mutton will be given to you as well. ”
Elvis handed the half leg of mutton in his hand to Allen.
"Hey, there's your saliva on it!"
"Love or not, if you don't eat, you'll be hungry. ”
"Forget it, I'll wipe it, let's make do with it. ”
Alan finally relented, took the leg of mutton and nibbled on it.
"The old man came to me yesterday. ”
When Alan was almost finished, Elvis on the side suddenly spoke.
"Do you think that your big disciple has nothing to do every day, and it's a bit of an eyesore, so you get out?"
"You're half right, he doesn't just want me to fuck off, he wants you to fuck off with me. ”
"You mean, the old man is looking for you to serve the emperor's ** team?"
"Yes. ”
"Oh, but I'm so tired right now, I don't want to go anywhere. ”
Alan washed his oily hands, then lay down on the bed again, and said in pain.
"Don't worry, it's not right away. I have one more bad news and a piece of good news for you, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Bad news. ”
"Your girlfriend, to be precise, your ex-girlfriend went to the Valentine's Day prom with Andrei. ”
After Elvis said this, he paid special attention to Allen's expression, but to his surprise, Allen's expression was calm, and he didn't even blink his eyelids.
It seems that after the parting of life and death that night, Alan has taken many things lightly.
But is it really underestimated? Or is it not enough to love at all?
"The good news?"
"The person who shook hands with the Grim Reaper is really different. Your ex-girlfriend will also be on this mission, so you still have a chance. "That's good news!"
When Alan heard this, he sighed and didn't say anything more.
