The news of Allen's return to the bay spread quickly through the city, and before he even arrived at the castle, many high-ranking people were already waiting there.

Naturally, there is no need to say much about the welcome, and during this time, Alan also learned about the recent situation in the bay.

Generally speaking, it is not bad, the bounty hunter system plus strict laws, there are basically few crimes in terms of law and order, and in terms of business, the chamber of commerce of the goblin Bauer has been successfully launched, and he is currently preparing to make a big deal, it is said that he is going to sell things other than the stars in the stars, and as an important link with Allen, the whitening necklace was transported by him to other continents, and it is not clear what the specific situation is.

However, judging from the fact that he is still buying necklaces non-stop, it should be going well.

During this time, Alan had earned about 20,000 gold coins, and it was naturally impossible for those centaurs to make so many at once, but the things he asked Rafael to help before he left were already on the right track, and at this time, there were at least 200 new mages in the bay!

Most of these mages were arranged to enter the security team, and a small number were absorbed by Simon's alchemy team because of their alchemy skills.

Before Alan left, he said that he would hire mages at the price of 5 gold coins a month, with no limit on the number of people and no limit on quality, and now it has been less than two months since he left, and there are already so many mages here, it can only be said that Raphael is doing a good job.

However, Alan felt that the main thing was that the commission of one gold coin per mage made him full of motivation, and now there were more than two hundred, which was enough for him to squander for a long time.

In the city, the regular army in the bay has been replenished to 1,000 men, and is currently in full swing of training, and as the instructor of the training, Fisher now seems to be in good shape, and his spirits are completely devoid of the despair he had at the reef.

On the contrary, the originally energetic Charles looked a little wilted at this time, and his every move did not have the vitality of a young man.

When asked what was going on with him, Eren got the somewhat surprising news that Taryn had been here!

It's not too surprising, because when he was Samuel, Gross had said that he had asked Tylen to help them explore the underworld, so it seems that he was quite particular about it, and he came here in person, and he didn't fool around.

It's just that he didn't stay in the bay for long, and after three days underground, he came out and hurried back to the reef, which made Alan regret and rejoice.

It's a pity that I haven't seen him for a long time and still miss it a little, but fortunately he doesn't have to face Taryn's pressure right away, and he hasn't figured out how to talk to Taryn about Samuel.

"So in such a short period of time, you were reprimanded several times?"

"Fifteen times. ”

"What did you do?"

"Nothing was done. ”

"Didn't do anything?"

"Yes, I didn't do anything, so I was reprimanded. ”

“.....”

Looking at Charles's wilting look, Alan sighed and shook his head, he could only say that honest people are just not welcomed, and they will always be bullied.

"It's a good idea for you to hire mages, there have been ghost incidents in the city lately, and fortunately those mages are here, otherwise there would have been a commotion in the city. ”

"You can deal with those ghosts, right?"

"Sure, it's easy, but they're so good at hiding and there are a lot of them, even if my uncle and I don't have the skills to do it, not to mention that there are other things to take care of in the city. ”

"Have you found the reason for their appearance?"

"No, but I suspect it's because of the place below your castle. ”

"Oh, why?" Alan wondered.

"Quite simply, nothing like this has ever happened before that place has appeared, and the ghost has come as soon as it appears, and there has been nothing strange in the bay lately except that. ”

It seems that this is indeed the case. Alan groaned and suddenly asked, "What did my father say?"

"Didn't say anything. Charles said with a puzzled face: "As soon as he came out, he left in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry, and did not say anything, and I did not dare to ask." ”

Hearing him say this, Alan frowned: "Did he encounter anything inside?"

"I don't know, he basically doesn't tell anyone about it, you should know. ”

"yes," Alan sighed. Thinking of some of the things he had encountered in that underground space, and thinking back to what Charles had just said, he was even more curious about that space, but despite his curiosity, he had no plans to go in and explore it for a while, that place was too mysterious and full of dangers.

"By the way, those mercenary friends of yours suddenly left half a month ago. Charles spoke suddenly.

"Left?" Alan hadn't found time to see Katerina and the others, and when he heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Did you encounter some attack?" or something else?"

"What kind of attack can there be?" said Charles, shrugging his shoulders, "You don't want to think about it, with me and my uncle here, who would dare to attack?"

Aside from Taryn, Charles is still very confident.

"Then why?"

"Say it's a cure?" said Charles, uncertainly, "They didn't explain it in detail, but they said that there was something unexpected that required them to go and treat it themselves." By the way, the leader left a letter. ”

"Where's the letter?

"Wait, put it in the bedroom, I'll get it right away." ”

Charles said and left in a hurry, and just then, a sentence suddenly appeared in Alan's ear: "Watch out for your uncle." ”

It was Phoenix's voice, and Alan was no longer surprised that he could observe his current situation, but he still couldn't understand Phoenix's words: "Watch out for my uncle?"

"He was tampered with. ”

His uncle is the only one here, Fisher?

Alan couldn't help but look at Fisher, who was talking to someone in the distance, at first he didn't believe it, but then he thought that it seemed that Fisher had indeed left the bay for a while, and then returned with a serious injury, and then it was a bit mysterious and mysterious after that.

"Someone has done it?" he was secretly frightened, and hurriedly asked, "What hands and feet?"

"Soul hand," Phoenix said, "I only saw it cursoryly, without a chance to probe closely, and if possible, you can touch him again, so that I can see it deeply." ”

"Okay, I'll see him sometime. "Alan is very concerned about this, Fisher is not only his right-hand man, but also his own uncle, although it is a bit dirty, but it is impossible to see death without saving him.

But he suddenly had some doubts: "When did you become so kind?"

"I've always been enthusiastic, okay. Phoenix raised his voice and said, "It's just that you always ignore it." ”

"Really?"

"Of course, if you don't reflect my means, how can you cooperate with me honestly, I tell you something you don't understand or can't find, and then you beg me to solve it for you, so that I have a chance to achieve my goals. ”

“.... You're really honest. Alan was speechless.

"There's no way, I don't believe it until I help a fool for free, I hope you're a fool, by the way, there seems to be something under your castle, you let me out, I'll feel it carefully, your space is too much of a hindrance. ”

Alan nodded, just about to flick his sleeves, but stopped when he saw the departing Charles returning: "Wait for the free." ”

He whispered.
