"I heard you fell out with the old ghost?"

The bald forehead is full of wrinkles, the dull blonde hair is slightly messy, and the two whiskers on the lips match the beard at the chin.

On the way back to the bay on horseback, the middle-aged man beside him, who was not yet an old man, seemed to be holding a grass root very much, and looked at Allen's eyes full of teasing.

His name is Fisher, and he is Alan's uncle and Taryn's half-brother.

"How do you know that?" Alan looked a little surprised by his words.

After leaving Reef City, he basically came to his senses, and his actions were unusual, as if his previous anger had never appeared.

In fact, because of the memory of one more world, Alan rarely has violent mood swings, unless it is really unbearable, such as this time, he traveled to Samuel for a long time, only to find that what he did was useless, and his every move was like a clown, and he still paid so much attention to it before.

So as soon as he learned that he really wanted to, he turned his face with old Tyron.

However, this matter should only be known to the two of them, how did the uncle in front of him know?

In response to his question, Fisher smiled: "It's very simple, the old ghost ordered the people of Reef City not to help the bay anymore, even I have been notified, and you can take me out without any scruples, you are not afraid of being blamed by the old ghost at all, it is obvious that you have fallen out, what's the matter?"

"Humph!"

Although he had calmed down, Alan still snorted angrily when he heard this: "Almost, I said I was going to beat him." ”

"Poof—"

Fisher was about to drink water with a kettle at this time, when he heard the words, he couldn't help but spray the horse under his crotch, and then under the "resentful" gaze of the mount, the middle-aged man gave Allen a thumbs up: "You cow! ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly changed his previous casualness and said with a serious expression: "Although this sentence is a bit redundant, I still want to say something about you, no matter how angry you are, you can't say this kind of thing, he is your father anyway." ”

After a pause, Fisher continued: "And you can't beat him, take advantage of your mouth, be careful that the old ghost becomes angry and provokes a fat beating." ”

"I don't care. Alan shrugged: "Anyway, I haven't been beaten up before, it's not too bad." ”

"As for the sentence that shouldn't be said?" he pouted, "I didn't hold back and said it at the time, but I just said it, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it." ”

The young man said this with a clear gritted teeth, apparently still "angry" at what had happened before.

Fisher easily saw the emotions in his nephew's heart, raised his eyebrows and said: "The old ghost is indeed too harsh, and ordinary people really can't stand him."

But you kid is treacherous, and you know how to hide out in advance, but you haven't suffered much grievance. Your eldest brother can't do it, he hasn't been doing very well lately, I even ran into him at the Red Moon Tavern two days ago, and he seems to be very decadent. ”

The Red Moon Tavern in Reef City belongs to the concentration of drunkards buying drunk, and it is a good place to drink to kill their sorrows, so as soon as Fisher said this, Alan understood something, and couldn't help frowning.

"By the way, did you meet your eldest brother in Reef City?"

"Yes, I met him when I first went to see Tyron, and I said goodbye to him before leaving, and I didn't find anything strange about him. ”

"That kid is a stuffy gourd, his heart is different, ordinary people can't guess what he's thinking, have time to go back and communicate with him more, otherwise your eldest brother's personality will become more and more boring, and there are few people in Reef City who can talk to him. ”

As he spoke, Fisher suddenly thought of something, and said with great interest: "By the way, he said that he had made a breakthrough in his craft, and he said that he wanted to show me, but unfortunately before he could show it, you pulled me to this poor and remote place." ”

As he said this, Fisher glanced at the deserted path around him, and pouted in disgust.

Alan didn't answer him, but sighed inexplicably: "Are you tired?"

Fisher was stunned for a moment, two simple words but seemed to be very magical, his active expression slowly faded, he looked at Alan with a complicated expression, and then smiled self-deprecatingly.

"You're really, boy, just mentioning something that makes people unhappy. ”

"Who told you to say that the Gulf is in the middle of nowhere. Alan pursed his lips, and then deliberately asked again: "Are you tired?"

"Well, I know wrong. Fisher rolled his eyes, not knowing what to say about Alan's vindictiveness.

The atmosphere fell silent for a while, but after a while, he suddenly smashed his mouth, looked at the road around him boredly, and said, "You must know that it is not easy to live under your father's suspicion for so long. ”

Alan sneered and responded, "So I saved you, and you still complain about the poor countryside of the bay?"

"I'm just saying that casually, how can you be serious, you kid is really..."

The two kept talking, hurrying non-stop, and the road under their feet became wider and wider, as if they were approaching their destination.

And when the woods come to an end, the sound of the waves comes into your ears, and the dilapidated town of Bay City immediately comes into view

Compared to Samuel's grandeur and Reef City's tenacity, the bay at this time does seem to be a little less classy.

The dilapidated city walls were low and tinkered with, and the gray exterior showed only a pointed old castle, and the bare battlements around it were enough to show the state of the city.

"I've been here once in the early years, well, nothing has changed. ”

Fisher touched his chin and looked at Bay City with a slight squint: "It's just that the city wall looks more broken." ”

Alan said without hesitation: "This city wall has been hit too many times, and it has long been in danger. ”

Then, under Fisher's impressed gaze, he continued: "So I am ready to have someone to renovate it, and not only that, but the roads, houses, sewers, and even the castle in the city, I have decided to rearrange them. ”

"That's going to take a lot of money, do you have that much money?"

"Don't worry about that. Alan smiled slightly: "Although I don't know how much it will cost, I have more than enough money." ”

It is indeed more than enough, and if all goes well, he will be able to cash out the "whitening necklace" in a short time, and the gold coins he will be able to obtain by then will not be less than a million!

One million gold coins, which is an astronomical amount, and Alan thinks that Taryn does not have that much.

So what he needs to worry about in the future is how to spend these gold coins, and it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money to repair the city, but it is also trivial to think about.

Fisher didn't know what the young man was thinking at this time, he looked at Alan suspiciously, and didn't understand why his nephew was so sure and seemed to have a lot of money?

"Did Taryn give him his vault?"

Fisher, who was muttering secretly, was just guessing, but didn't ask; although the two were very close, there were still some things that needed to be taboo when they came to Bay City to do things, at least the privacy of the future boss should not be casually inquired about.

The two of them continued to talk, but the pace of the horses under their crotches never stopped, so before they knew it, they had come to the city gate of Bay City.

Like most cities in the world, the gates of the bay are steel gates that look new - when the stars are shining, the gates of bay city need to be sealed so that the flaw is not breached.

The guards were on both sides of the city gate, because Alan had sent someone to report before, so the guards were not surprised when they saw Allen's large group of people, but respectfully helped the knights enter the city, and there was no need to register;

So under the gaze of countless people at the city gate, a gorgeous knight entered from the city gate, and the endless figure and the majestic momentum made everyone who saw this scene exclaim.

Compared to the Apocalypse Knight or even the Blood Knight, the Secret Skill Guard is very low-grade, but this is only relative, if you are facing an ordinary soldier, then you can distinguish who is high and who is low with just a glance.

The soldiers of Samuel's family generally love to be clean, although the successive journeys make them look dusty, but the knights do not lack their clothes on the road, so they still look very regular at this time.

Coupled with the upright posture and outstanding momentum, the mighty and gorgeous armor, just standing there, the difference between the nobles and the turtle is clear, and the doorman next to him looks very "dick".

"So sooner or later I'll build an army of my own secret techniques. Seeing that the knights had caused countless exclamations, Alan muttered this, and then pulled Fisher into the city.

At the gate of the city is a downtown similar to a vegetable market, there are a lot of pedestrians, and most of them are housewives and the like, so at this time, there is an endless stream of discussions, and they even point their fingers when they see Allen's appearance.

He had been recognized, but he had probably not been seen for a long time, and the townspeople were very restrained at this time, and no one had come up to get close.

It's good, save what to delay.

Thinking so, Alan didn't intend to package himself as a great man who loved the people like a son, so he said a little hello to the surrounding citizens and left here with the knights.

The situation in Bay City is still the same, because of its proximity to the coast, the city's roads have always been very wet, and the muddy ground is barely smooth due to the constant pressure of the citizens, but the fact that it is stained with a lot of mud when you step on it is a little unbearable for Allen.

"A mixture of dirt and garbage, you don't know if you're stepping on pure dirt or a mixture of feces. ”

"There is a lot of fishy smell in the nose all the time, the buildings are messy without the slightest beauty or order, the city is rampant with thieves, the gangs are like wheat harvesting stubble, the inhabitants are savage and ignorant, and there are all kinds of strange guys hidden in them..."

He shrugged at Fisher: "This is the bay, the city you need to manage next, uncle. ”

It seemed that he was striking Fisher, with a serious expression and a look full of "pity" in his eyes. However, Fisher also shrugged his shoulders and said with a chuckle, "I was prepared. ”

"Good. ”

One sentence meant a lot, and Alan felt that there was no need to say any more, so he simply led the way, explaining the situation of the bay to Fisher as he hurried.

"There are now 1,000 militia members in the bay, 800 patrols, the militia has nothing to say, and the patrol is the object of my next decision to focus on training, it is not very mature at present, but their equipment can at least compare to the regular army on the reef. ”

"The tax system is not very perfect at the moment, there are few literate people, and even fewer are literate and smart, so far, I have not found anyone who can play the role of my tax officer. ”

"The main two of my subordinates in the bay are Barry Willen and Rowan Kelvey, I think uncle you should have heard of Rowan, he has been with me when he was on the reef, his ability is very good, Barry's words, it was sent to me by old Tyron, he has no scheming, he is very obedient, but his ability is also very average......"

When they entered the city through the east gate of Bay City, the first thing they passed was a slum with few pedestrians, and the beggars that could be seen everywhere on the roadside did not stop the group much, and the thieves and gangsters who were prevalent in the slums could only hide in the shadows and watch the army walking in front of them, not daring to make any rash moves.

Beyond the slum is the official residential area of Bay City, where a large number of ordinary people live, including Allen's Poch Castle, which is also located deep in the settlement.

This seems extremely unreasonable, the lord lives with ordinary people, and no city in the stars has ever seen this kind of "decoration".

Alan didn't feel that he was noble and had to live separately from ordinary people, this was a kind of idea that he didn't know what to do, he just felt that it was unreasonable.

The lord's residence is like the municipal government in the previous life, it needs to be located in the most conspicuous and convenient place in the city, under normal circumstances, who would see the municipal building located in the residential area, surrounded by countless stone houses and aunts?

Coupled with the fact that the old castle was dark and damp and not very suitable for habitation, it seemed natural for Alan to want to move.

"There's a chapel in the city that is dedicated to His Majesty Kilmons, but there are also three other gods, so you can go there if you want to pray, uncle. ”

"At present, there are no commendable forces in Bay City, so it is very simple to manage in the early stage, as long as it continues to develop. ”

Alan explained to Fisher unhurriedly, and the narration along the way had already made the middle-aged man think.

Because of the long-term contact, Alan clearly knows that Fisher is very capable in all aspects, including management, so he believes that it will not be long before he can officially take over the big and small affairs of Bay City.

"I hope you can really do what you do here. As the castle approached, he stooped down and saluted Fisher.

Fisher smiled and was about to respond when a commotion suddenly appeared from the direction of the castle, followed by the choking of weapons, interrupting their conversation.

Allen's brow furrowed, and he straightened up and turned his head to see a group of mercenaries facing the castle guards.
