The sun is ready to go down and go home.

At this time, Kyle is also running hard, and he is going through the barracks and back to the blacksmith shop to the east.

As he passed through the middle avenue, he saw the direction of the southern gate, where the infantry had only now stepped in.

They returned in vain, and everyone looked tired and even a little bored on their faces.

Kyle doesn't care so much, and what he's most concerned about now is where Locke is.

"Oh, Kyle!"

"Isn't this Kyle!"

"You're back!"

...

The residents along the road were amazed, they did not expect that the child would return to Valange in the afternoon after receiving a distress signal in the morning.

Kyle didn't want to say hello, because he knew that as soon as he answered, a group of old women who loved to watch the excitement would immediately pull him to talk about this and that, and he didn't have the same foolish skills.

He walked through the cluttered shops, trying not to run into the merchants' stalls, but inevitably led to a sentence:

"Get out of here, stinky boy, don't bump into my stuff!"

He walked through the open-air laundry pool, a huge pool with colorful water that hadn't changed for an unknown amount of time.

Then run through the tavern streets, and try to avoid a few drunk strong men, otherwise they will start a drunken madness and be completely unreasonable...

Kyle ran all the way, and his name was shouted all the way, most of them with a tone of surprise, mixed with a few words:

"Little handsome guy, come in and have fun~"

In this bustling city, even as it approaches the evening, the enthusiasm for life is not diminished in the slightest.

Kyle runs straight east, and at the end of the Eastern Bazaar is Kerry's blacksmith.

Almost there!

In addition to the tavern, the commercial area of the city is gradually coming to an end, and at this time, the sound of striking iron should be heard in the distance.

But it seems to be quiet today?

"Daddy, I'm back!" Kyle ran to the door of the blacksmith shop, not realizing his dad.

Kyrie Friend is Kyle Friend's father and the most famous blacksmith in Valanger. His dream was to become a knight in golden armor, but his fat body caused a great obstacle for him to control the war horse, which made him an "iron warrior". The farming tools in the town and the small dagger of the apprentice knight were all made by the Kaili blacksmith shop, so he was also famous.

At the same time, God favored this big man very much and gave him a talented son. Now, his son is a midshipman, which also honors him, and he always talks about his son whenever guests come to the door. He likes to brag and talk to people, and he can even do nothing and talk until the middle of the night.

But today, why is the Kerry Blacksmith Shop closed?

Kyle stood in the doorway of the blacksmith's shop, there was no one in the shop, the fire was still burning, and several pieces of iron were already red.

"Daddy, are you there?" Kyle shouted as he walked towards the room inside the store. Passing through the small room in the shop, you can go up the stairs to the second floor to where they lived.

"Daddy, are you home?"

Kyle slowly made his way up to the second floor, where he noticed a faint glow from an oil lamp on the table in the corner, and the two of them were pondering something under the light.

"Don't move yet, let me see..."

"Are you alright?"

"No, it's still a little crooked, I'll change it again..."

"Uncle, your painting level is too low..."

"Oh, with a little patience, you'll be fine in no time..."

Kyle heard the sound of two people talking, the voices were familiar, they were...

"Daddy, Locke, what are you doing?"

Kyle walks up and finds his dad under an oil lamp, with an ink pen, drawing something on Locke's forehead.

"Oh, son, you're back! and I'm so happy!" said Carey, but his gaze never took off Locke's forehead. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this father is just coping with it, and he is just happy on the surface.

But Kyle is used to it, and this dad is completely casual except for bragging and playing iron.

"I just went through a war, and you don't care, do you?" Kyle grumbled as he stepped forward and sat down next to them.

"Oh, Locke told me. ”

Carey carefully drew a cross mark on Locke's forehead, and he seemed to have no time to talk to his son, so he could only deal with it simply.

It's the first time Kyle has seen that the fat father, who usually only wields a hammer, is actually drawing something with an ink pen thinner than his finger today, and the scene is really "shocking".

Locke tilted his head and winked at Kyle with his watery right eye, as if conveying some sort of smugness.

"You... Do you know this little ghost?" Kyle was surprised, and listening to his father's tone, they seemed to be very good friends.

"Of course, you asked Aggie to bring him back, right?"

"Yes..."

"So, your friend, and my friend, you don't have to see each other!"

Kyle really thinks his dad is a bit abnormal, although he is usually a very chatty person, but tonight, he is too enthusiastic about a child he has never met...

"Dad... He... What did I tell you?" Kyle continued.

"He said that my son Kyle was a brave knight, and he was very grateful for being able to break out of the siege and protect him in the face of being outnumbered...", Carey painted Locke's mark as he repeated what Locke had said to him that afternoon.

"Oh..."Kyle knew as soon as he heard it, these were perfunctory kind words, and they had no value at all, "Then you know, this little imp is..."

"Yes, it's a savage!" Carey replied very smoothly, as if he did not have any rejection of Locke's identity.

"And you—" Kyle was surprised by his father's answer. According to his understanding, the wild man should not be treated well by the countrymen.

"Oops... You've learned the wrong chivalry!" Carey put down his pen and prepared to start a tirade, "Savages are also people, and people are also people, and you can't distinguish people by just one clan seal! Look at how cute this child looks and how kind-hearted he is, I want to adopt him as an adopted son, and you are still thinking about this." Look at the family seal I drew for him, it looks like ours, you can't see it at all! Isn't that going to be an Ace? Little ghost, when you go out in the future, people will ask for your name, and you will say that your name is 'Locke Flender', you know?"

"Daddy!" Kyle couldn't figure out what was going on, "were you enchanted?"

"What magic! Ace can't do magic!" Kerry glanced at his son, "I just like this cute little imp very much, and nothing else." The family seal is finished, it shouldn't disappear in the next few days, and I'll make it up for you when the ink fades! I'll wash the pen. ”

After speaking, Carey packed up his ink pen and was just about to go downstairs, when he suddenly thought of something:

"Oh, by the way, little Locke, does your 'Tony' need me to keep it in the arsenal?"

"Okay, thank you Carey. ”

"You're welcome!"

Kyle looked at his dad in bewilderment, his fat body trembling and humming even downstairs, he could see how happy he was.

"What the hell are you doing, and why is Daddy so happy?" Kyle asked Locke when he saw Daddy go downstairs.

"Six silver coins," Locke replied, holding a small bronze mirror and looking at the cross seal on his forehead repeatedly, "Your father is pleased with the deal." ”

"What?six silver coins?!" Kyle instantly understood, "You gave it all to him?"

"No, I only gave three. Locke seems to have learned a lot more, and the child, who was only twelve years old, had already learned the allure of money, "The other three will be paid the next time he needs his help." ”

"Oh, my God!" Kyle patted his forehead, "You give him money today, and he can spend it in the tavern tomorrow!"

"If only you were happy, wouldn't you?" Locke turned to Kyle. This little ghost with clear eyebrows has an extra family seal on his forehead, which is quite good-looking.

Kyle had nothing to say, and now that Locke had arrived home safely, the others didn't want to worry about it anymore. He lay on the bed next to him, his eyes closed, and finally felt the comfort of home.

"As long as you're happy," Kyle repeated Locke's words.

"Does money make Kyle happy?" Locke asked, sitting on the side.

"No... Holding the holy sword in my hand is what makes me happy," Kyle closed his eyes and imagined himself as a knight in golden armor, "My dream is to become the first knight of the land of Asnan. ”

"You can make your dreams come true, Aunt Fili and I believe in you. ”

"Aunt Fili?" Kyle sat up abruptly and looked at Locke, "Have you seen Aunt Fili?"

"No, Aunt Fili left before I woke up," Locke looked out the window at the sky, "except that she told me everything while I was asleep." ”

"When you fall asleep?" Kyle really didn't understand what Locke meant.

"It's in a dream. "In the dream, she told me everything she knew. ”

Kyle doesn't think about it that much anymore, although he knows that what Locke said seems a bit out of touch, but from the moment he meets Locke's parents, he understands that many things can't be analyzed with ordinary thinking.

"Well," Kyle decided not to ask any further, "it seems that Aunt Fili loves you very much." ”

"I love Aunt Fili too," Locke's expression seemed a little sad, and he slowly lowered his head, "She's like my relative." And mom and dad, I love them too..."

Kyle touched Locke's head, the imp's curly hair was exactly the same as his dad Lona.

"We'll definitely see Aunt Fili again," Kyle comforted as he touched Locke's head, "she promised us and we'll see you again." ”

"Kyle, thank you," Locke looked up, a little tear in his eyes, "thank you for helping me." ”

"You're a good boy," Kyle smiled at Locke, "all good people in the world should be treated fairly." ”

"Kyle!"

"Kyle, are you home?"

Suddenly, there are several female voices outside the house, shouting Kyle.

"Kyle!" Dad Carey hurriedly ran upstairs, "There are a few old aunts in front of the store looking for you!"

"Daddy, who are they?" Kyle had no idea what he meant.

"I don't know, I don't know either, it scared me, I thought it was Lao Tzu's romantic debt that I hadn't repaid!"

"I'll go down and take a look—" Kyle patted Locke on the shoulder,

"You're here, don't go out. ”
