Everything in the city was very stable, and there was nothing to do with Allen, and the same was true for the newspapers, which by this time had opened a printing and paper mill, and the newspaper had already published no less than 10 issues, and the response was very good, and it is said that people passing by in other cities were attracted to this novelty.

As a businessman, Bauer even opened one in his hometown of the Free Federation, I don't know what the specific situation is, but judging from the expression on Alan's welcome dinner, it seems to be very good.

The welcome dinner began on the evening of Allen's return, and all the city administrators and Allen's friends came, and it is worth mentioning that Oliver, the dwarf he hadn't seen for a long time, had also returned, and was talking to others at this time.

"When I first met little Allen, he was a stingy poor ghost, and now he is so rich, it's really jealous. ”

"I really hope that his wealth can make him more generous, and the business is so profitable, it is really sad to give me only one sip of soup to drink. ”

"I went to Nadek some time ago, and the people there were still a little bit talking about other people's stupid money, haha. ”

Glancing over there, Alan didn't pay attention to his intentions, and when he knew that Oliver had disappeared for so long and was just running to hang out, he had little interest in the guy.

At this time, Alan was talking to Rowan about the newspaper, mainly about Samuel's actions.

"Keep an eye on the reef and if there is a big army march, we can start expanding. ”

"There aren't that many of us. ”

"If there is no one, hire it, don't be stingy with money, come to me to apply when you have no money. Alan said solemnly: "Our main task is to make things like newspapers bloom in all directions, and eventually open all over the south!"

"But how to maintain it after it is opened? We can't take care of all the branches anytime and anywhere?" Rowan was slightly distressed.

"If the orcs are completely driven out of the country, then we can establish a stable information transmission channel, although the monsters are also a trouble, but they have a limited IQ after all, as long as there are no orcs, this goal is not difficult to achieve. ”

"Okay, what about the rest of the story?"

"What's going on?" asked Allen.

"The management and development of each branch cannot be ignored after it is opened. ”

"We'll talk about that then. Alan waved his hand and said in a casual tone: "As long as our newspaper can be opened, we will not worry about later maintenance, and the most important thing now is to keep an eye on the movements of Samuel and the reef army, and this task will be handed over to you." ”

"Okay. Rowan nodded with a wry smile, no objection.

"By the way," Alan suddenly lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, "Has Fisher shown any anomalies during this time?"

"Fisher?" Rowan was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Alan asked, but still replied honestly: "There is nothing abnormal, except that he doesn't like to communicate with people very much." ”

"Don't like to communicate?" Alan muttered, his eyes couldn't help but look at Fisher, who was talking to Oliver, from the outside, he was basically normal, and he couldn't see the anomaly that the snake said was at all.

"It shouldn't lie to me, but it doesn't have to be. ”

Alan secretly guessed, pondering the authenticity of Phoenix's words.

"Hey, Alan!"

His thoughts were interrupted by a greeting in his ear, and Alan turned his head to see Raphael in the corner, waving at him with a serious face.

"What's going on?" Alan wondered, so he greeted Rowan and walked there.

After approaching, before he could ask, Raphael spoke directly, and he whispered, "Elder Momiji is looking for you." ”

"Looking for me again?" Alan wondered, "What happened this time?"

"Maybe it has something to do with that space underneath the castle. Raphael didn't know either, and he pointed to the outside of the brightly lit castle: "I'll be waiting for you outside." ”

"Now?"

"Yes. ”

"Okay," shrugged his shoulders, Alan didn't pay much attention to it, but as soon as he raised his legs, he suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but look back and ask, "By the way, how is your research on the mage's hand?"

"This" Raphael smirked, but did not respond, but whispered a spell.

"Darrah—Enmis!"

Alan felt a sudden tug on his cuffs, and looked down at it, but it was empty, which made his eyes widen.

"That's fast!"

Sighing slightly, he turned to leave.

Raphael didn't follow, in fact, there was no need to lead the way or anything, as soon as Alan walked out of the castle, he saw the figure of Elder Momiji wearing a cloak, and now he was standing under a dead tree in front of the castle gate.

"Hello, little Alan. Seeing Allen appear, she greeted her in a friendly manner.

Elder Red Leaf looked much more serious this time, looking at him with clear eyes, not at all as muddy as the few times he had seen before, Alan didn't know why she suddenly seemed to be much more serious, but this was a person's privacy, and he didn't want to ask.

With a simple greeting, Elder Momiji went straight to the point.

"Something unexpected must have happened underground, and Tari has been studying this matter lately and decided to send someone to investigate, so I came to you and asked for your opinion. ”

Her words made Alan laugh a little, and he said happily, "You still ask for my opinion on the Mage Tower operation, when did you become so polite?"

"We have always been polite. The old lady's face was calm, so that people couldn't see what she was thinking, but after thinking about it, she still added in a strange tone: "Your father came to us once a while ago. ”

"Oh?" Alan was stunned, "doing what?"

"Maybe take an oath of sovereignty, that old fellow, it's too domineering. Momiji shook his head slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Tyran, but Alan was not too surprised by this.

His father had always been autocratic, and it was hard to like.

"Just let me know in advance if you want to go," Alan said, "If there's anything you need help with, just say I'll help if I can." ”

"If possible, I'd like you to help find someone. This caught Alan off guard, he was originally just a polite remark, but he didn't expect this guy to really need his help?

However, Alan was not under pressure about this, and he was happy to see it happen if he had a good relationship with the mage, so he asked very positively.

"It's about my grandson, you should have an impression of him, the very sissy one. ”

The second half of Momiji's words made Alan want to laugh a little, but he couldn't help it, so he asked with a smile, "What's wrong with your grandson?"

"Missing, not so long ago. The old lady said, but she didn't seem to be worried, just a little helpless: "I guess he went under your castle, but it may be somewhere else, if possible, you can help me keep an eye on it." ”

"Well, that's fine. Alan nodded.

"Also, have you ever touched the Black Cloak?"

"Black cloak, of course. He frowned as he spoke.

"Is the leader of the group a man named Claude?"

"I don't know about that, I just know that they have a leader named Walter, who seems to have a good personality, and I was caught by him twice and didn't bother much. ”

"Walter, good personality?" Momiji muttered, "That's probably him, I met him in my early years, and his personality is indeed very interesting." ”

Muttering, she changed the subject again in a vague way: "Are you hiring a lot of mages?"

"Yes. ”

"What does this mean to you?"

"Well, I think the mage is very useful. ”

"It's the end of the apprentice releasing a water balloon, what do you think they are useful? Elder Red Leaf looked at him suspiciously, then thought for a while, and said: "But you have relieved a lot of pressure on the tower for this, these apprentices are not very strong, but the amount of food is quite large, and Delan has praised you a lot during this time." ”

When Alan heard this, he hurriedly said: "In this case, then you might as well help me mention it, don't you still have many mages, and it's useless to stay in the tower, why don't you come to me, you don't have to do any work, and you can still make money, what a good thing." ”

"That's good, I could consider talking to them. Elder Momiji really lowered his head and thought about it.
