Vincent pulled out a letter from the cabinet, the one Alan had seen before he went to the auction.

Before, because Alan was going to prepare for the advancement, Vincent didn't show it to him. Now that Eren is an official knight, there are some things that should not be hidden.

"Take a look at the letter from Sequoia Village. Vincent handed the letter to Alan.

"Oh, Uncle Dick has written, is he nagging something again?" Alan couldn't help but laugh. During the year, Uncle Dick and the blacksmith wrote several times, all of them asking about little Alan's current situation, nagging some family routines, and there was a concern between the lines.

However, when Alan took the letter, he couldn't help but be stunned, and what greeted his eyes was a completely unfamiliar note.

After reading it carefully, the whole person suddenly stood stunned like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

It turned out to be written by the village chief, who said that Dick Terry had died and that the village chief had taken care of the funeral.

Looking at the date of the letter, ten days have passed. In other words, Uncle Dick died ten days ago.

"Master, I want to go back to Sequoia Village. Allen's eyes were red, and his heart was blocked for a while, and he couldn't say what he could say.

"Go ahead and stay safe on the road. Vincent waved his hand, very reasonable.

Alan didn't say anything more, just cleaned up and set off.

Looking at Allen's departing figure, Vincent suddenly found that he was stunned before, isn't it just a little money, life does not bring death and does not take away, in the face of the death of his friend, everything seems insignificant.

He didn't think about Alan paying it back at all.

"Little Dick, in order to repay your favor, the old man has lost his blood. See, Alan is already an official knight, much better than you were back then, you should be able to rest assured. The Master muttered, lost in the memories of the past.

Along the way, Alan called up the map recorded by the chip and rushed towards Sequoia Village.

I have to say that the physique of the official knight is very human, and the speed is even faster. At the beginning, it took Allen and his party seven or eight days to walk from Sequoia Village to Budapest City, but now Alan alone with the power of a formal knight only took three days to rush back to Sequoia Village.

It was still a red wood house, and the villagers sat in twos and threes at the door of their houses chatting about their daily routines, and when they saw Allen's appearance, the village suddenly boiled.

"Little Allen is back!"

"Alas, poor little Alan, it is unfortunate to have lost a loved one at such a young age. ”

......

Ignoring the gossip of the villagers, Alan found the village chief in the two-story attic. Led by the village chief, Alan came to the resting place of Uncle Dick.

The green water is next to the green hills, and Uncle Dick is buried here.

"In accordance with his wishes, we put his relics by his pillow and buried them together, but we left nothing for you. The village chief explained.

Alan was silent, and the uncle wanted to leave it to him a long time ago. Looking down at the brass ring around his neck, this was probably the last thought that the uncle left for Allen.

The village chief leaves, leaving Eren alone with time.

Alan guarded the grave, recalling the bits and pieces of the past in his mind, the fat man who loved to sleep, the elder who loved to nag, and he couldn't wake up at this moment.

"I'm already an official knight, and you'll be happy for me. Alan sat by the tombstone, just like the night before he left for the first time, as if the uncle next to him was also sitting on the ground, listening silently.

"I also met a wizard, and the mystery of the wizard will be revealed next month, so you're really unlucky, why don't you last another month?"

"What I haven't told you is that I'm not the original Allen anymore, but you will always be my uncle. If you see their family, say hello to me, and I will live well for them. ”

......

In the distance, the fallen leaves return to their roots, and the birds are singing, as if telling the departure of the deceased.

Alan repaired his uncle's grave in his own way and planted an evergreen tree next to it. Maybe after returning to his hometown in many years, he can still see the uncle sleeping under the evergreen tree, but what he will be like at that time, Alan doesn't know. Or maybe this one will never return.

This is the original birthplace of dreams, just like the earth in the previous life, no matter where you wander, there is always such a place, and the name is hometown.

The mountains of my hometown and the water of my hometown haunt the memories of my hometown.

Eren returned to the house he once was, and it was here that he woke up and set off. The cold hut is now empty, and the snoring like thunder can no longer be heard, and it will be completely deserted in many years, and it will be desolate and lonely.

After a sleepless night, Alan came to the village chief's house again the next morning.

This time, I want to ask the village chief to find someone to repair the uncle's grave regularly. Alan gave the village chief ten gold coins at one time, I don't know how long I can manage it, anyway, let's do my best.

After a brief breakfast at the village chief's house, Alan set off for Budapest.

Three days later, Alan returned to the blacksmith's shop. The old vampire Vincent didn't urge Alan to do anything this time, and was doing some aristocratic design on his own.

Alan was also happy to be clean, and made a selection in the storeroom, and then the opening of the small melting pot, which had been in operation for Harvey and Hale all along.

Obviously, Allen started Master Fang Yun's creation again. Although Vincent's stock materials are still used, these will be compensated later, so Alan is not ambiguous at all when he uses them.

After making a few pieces of equipment, Alan stopped, and for no other reason, the blacksmith shop received a few more orders. Alan went back to working in the blacksmith's shop.

With his promotion to the rank of official knight, Allen's work efficiency has also improved a lot. What used to take two or three days to complete can now be done in a day.

After completing the order, Alan helped the blacksmith shop build a batch of inventory equipment. Life is still very fulfilling, but it was forced before, but now it is completely out of interest.

At this time, Jason, who had not been seen for a few days, came to the blacksmith's shop. When Alan saw it, he was amazed.

It turned out that Jason was also successfully promoted to the official knight. However, to Allen's surprise, Jason's official knightly attribute is much stronger in comparison.

"Target Name: Jason Celter (Official Knight), Status: Health, Fitness: 2.5, Strength: 2.7, Agility: 2.4. ”

"I said Jason, did you drink any enhancement potion? Alan looked puzzled.

"Haha, I'm July's darling, so I don't need to drink any potion. Jason smiled.

"Hmph, July's darling? Alan was disdainful for a while, and he was usually secretive about the topic of concubines, but now that they are all official knights, it doesn't hurt to make fun of them.

"What about the concubine? It's not that I have become a knight. Now those sisters-in-law can't do anything to me. I'm accumulating, of course, it's not like you've only been half a year and half a tank of water. Jason said proudly.

"Well, you cow, you can blow. Let's go, don't get drunk, I'm sorry for your identity as the darling of July. "I have to admit that Jason's knightly qualifications are indeed much stronger than Allen.
