The white veil fluttered, and the sea breeze outside the window soothed, blowing away the sultry heat of the afternoon

In a room on the second floor of the castle, a slender woman lay quietly on a bed by the window, covered her chest with a snow-white futon, her long brown hair was scattered, her facial features were three-dimensional and delicate when lying on her back, her thin and long dark eyebrows were frowned, her pale lips were pursed, and she seemed to be full of sadness in her sleep.

As if in danger before falling unconscious, the woman's exposed white hands held a dagger tightly, as if she was also vigilant in her sleep, her clenched hands were sickly white, the blood vessels on the back of her hands were prominent, and the two tendons at her slender wrists jumped straight up, obviously subconsciously still clenching hard.

Her face was strange and familiar, less than half a year apart, when she saw this person again, Alan felt like a world away...

Quietly staring at the unconscious woman on the bed, after a long time, he looked at Katerina who was looking at his side: "How long has she been asleep?"

"It's been half a month. Katerina replied, and then seeing Allen's slightly worried look, she patted him on the shoulder without a smile: "But don't worry, I've asked her brother to hire a master in this area, and it won't be long before she returns." ”

"Her brother?"

A lot of things have happened during this time, and the time that has passed since this incident is not too short, so Alan was a little unresponsive when he first heard this, and then suddenly remembered that it seemed that there was indeed such a person, and he was helping him deal with pirates.

"You mean the one named Adam?"

"It's called Adam, Adam Jacobi. Katerina nodded and said, and then couldn't help but mock: "It's a shame that people are very impressed with you, and they have said that you are very special many times before, and you actually forgot about him?"

"I have a lot of things to do, but I'm not like you who don't have to use your brain all day. Alan was not to be outdone, but seeing that Katerina was a little annoyed, he changed the topic without a trace: "What kind of master, is it reliable?"

"Of course. Katerina nodded: "Otherwise, how do you think I came back to life two years ago?"

As if remembering something terrible because of this, Katerina's face looked terrified when she said this.

This Alan has not forgotten, two years ago, Katerina suddenly fell into a strange coma after a mission, Allen They found the doctor of the whole reef to no avail, and the closed mouth also made the food unable to pour in at all, I thought she would starve to death in bed so slowly, but in the end, inexplicably, Katerina woke up by herself.

Alan had asked what was going on before, but Katerina woke up and kept silent, keeping him hungry for a long time until he forgot about it.

"You mean, you didn't wake up on your own last time, but someone rescued you?" Alan asked, "Who is it?"

"You'll find out in a while. Katerina refused to speak.

Alan frowned at this: "I'm not sure about this, because I'll have to leave the bay after a while." ”

This sentence caused Katerina to wonder for a while: "Leave?

"Samuel. ”

Nor did she intend to hide it, Alan said it bluntly, shrugging his shoulders as he spoke.

So Katerina understood, she smiled and patted Allen on the shoulder, and shouted: "This is a good thing, how many people can't envy it, congratulations in advance, haha." ”

Her expression seemed to be very happy for her friend, but Alan pouted at this: "I really don't understand what you guys think, is it really good if everyone thinks it's good? Why didn't I see any good? The people in the Samuel family are very bored." ”

Maybe for some reason, he obviously didn't have a lot of interest in it.

Katerina rarely did not refute him, but gossiped something else: "Then what is good, let's hear it?"

"This..."

Alan thought about it as if he was looking at it, and then under Katerina's increasingly interested gaze, he suddenly sighed and said, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

This serious appearance was obviously teasing Katerina, and she was annoyed and angry because of this, and she raised her foot and kicked more, but Eren easily dodged it.

Hiding on the other side of the bed, avoiding Katerina's attack range, Alan showed a teasing smile: "I really didn't think about it, maybe you can't say it." ”

"You're getting bolder. Hearing this, Katerina became even more annoyed, and she squeezed her wrist, looking ready to do something serious.

However, it seemed that it was just to scare Alan, and after pinching for a long time, she didn't make any obvious pursuit moves, but suddenly sighed and said in amazement: "But your idea is not valid at all, we can't do it at all, you know..."

She might still want to say something, but Alan interrupted her with a grin: "I'm just kidding, why are you serious?"

This is a hard slap in the face!

Katerina's face turned dark, staring at Alan, her eyes were round, and she seemed to be really angry.

Seeing her ill-intentioned, Alan hurriedly changed the subject: "Okay, don't be kidding, let's get down to business." ”

"Are you sure you're followed by a gang of pursuers?"

Hearing him ask about this, Katerina also spontaneously ignored what had just happened, and said: "I'm pretty sure we didn't get rid of them, in fact, it is very likely that they did it when we were attacked by the red spotted killer whale halfway, those people are very strange, and it is not surprising that they can affect the demonic beast." ”

"So I doubt that the bay can withstand their invasion, although they don't dare to blatantly break in because of the country, but what they do in secret, it is difficult for us to deal with it!"

"Are those people that powerful?" said Allen.

Katerina nodded, but shook her head again: "It's not very powerful, it's just that their methods have changed a lot, such as disguise, their disguise can't distinguish the real from the fake if you don't look carefully, if you are careless, it is easy for them to take the opportunity to find our defense loopholes, and then drill into the castle to achieve their goals." ”

As she said this, her eyes glanced at the woman lying on the bed, and it was self-evident what the goal was.

Alan frowned when he heard this: "This is a problem, if they come with real knives and guns, it won't be anything, I'm afraid of this weird method." After thinking about it, he added, "But I'm already ready to leave Charles in the bay, with him, it shouldn't be a problem, if I hire a few more mages..."

Katerina was very concerned about Alan's first half of the sentence, and she asked strangely, "Will Charles stay in the bay?" Are you sure old Tyron will agree?"

Alan waved his hand and said, "Why do you care so much, I said he would." ”

"Where did you get so much confidence?" Katerina looked at him suspiciously, "It can't be that your arrogance has flare up again, right?"

"What do you mean it's another seizure?" Alan rolled his eyes angrily, and after saying this, he felt that there was something wrong with his response, so he retorted again: "When did I become arrogant?"

"A lot of times, no one has told you?" Katerina scoffed, "Or maybe you have a sense of superiority? ”

"It's just a bunch of idiots, how are they...," Alan snorted, but he suddenly felt that this was indeed a big problem, so he swallowed the rest of the words.

However, Katerina didn't want to let him go, sat opposite Erlang with her legs crossed, and said with a big grin: "Look, your current posture of looking down on people is proof that the superiority that comes from nowhere is simply inexplicable." ”

Obviously, she was sarcastic about herself, but after many years of friendship, Alan didn't care about her sarcasm, but smiled: "It's stupid, what do I say about them?

"Look at yourself before talking about others, you're actually quite stupid. Katerina looked at Alan amusedly, which caused Alan to roll his eyes.

So she changed the subject and said, "Well, don't talk about that, are you sure you can convince old Tyron?" I don't think I need to say anything more about his stubbornness..."

"Naturally, I have my dependence. Alan said firmly, facing Katerina's inquiring gaze, but did not explain the idea, smiling slightly, a mysterious look, causing the mercenary to gnash her teeth for a while.

Apparently he was taking revenge on something.

But Alan didn't lie about it, he didn't tease Katerina, but he was really more determined.

It's not just that he feels that his compromise will get Taryn to agree to the proposal, but there are other reasons.

Old Tyron sent Charles to the bay for more than just for Alan, who had figured it out over the past few days.
