(88) Past Events (Alain)

Despite the victory in the war and the pact with his 'father' to protect the village, Alain's life does not seem to have changed as he imagined. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Thanks to the important exploits of his 'father' Holo, or Larum, in the war, the Grizzly Bear tribe was able to move south en masse to settle in more fertile lands that originally belonged to the Elna people.

That meant that Alain's daily life went from going north to the wastelands with water and hunting knives in the hope of catching valuable prey, to wielding shovels and hoes, working with his 'father' and a few Erna people to cultivate and cultivate their existing homes with equally able-bodied young people.

This kind of daily life is a little boring for him. But he understood that owning such a fertile land had been a long-cherished dream of the Saatchi people. And it also means that they will not have to rely on the providence of the heavens to fill their stomachs easily.

As for the Elna people-

At first, there was a bit of a bitterness between them, after all, the two sides had just finished a war, and the Erna people, who prided themselves on elegance, did not match the rough Saatchi on the surface. Fortunately, both the Saatchi and the Erna believe in the "Lord of Heaven" who is in charge of life, and the recognition of faith has become an opportunity for them to communicate.

After getting along, Alain gradually discovered that although the inhabitants of the forest were a little arrogant, they were genuinely helping them. Moreover, the knowledge of plants and cultivation of the Elna people is indeed beyond their reach. In this way, he felt that these 'inhabitants of the forest' were not so annoying.

On the other hand, this may be the case.

"I can't imagine that you Northlanders are still a little bit like doing farm work." These were the words of the Elna sentry named Huls, "It may not be a waste to hand over this land to you. Remember, treat the earth with gratitude and respect, and it will return to you. ”

Time passed like this. In his free time, he still worked his fighting skills with his 'father', and even now, he has not been able to defeat each other once. Glock returned to his original village, and the two made a pact that when Glock came of age, they would travel south together to witness the wider world with their own eyes.

On this day, as usual, he watered the sprouts that covered the field, carefully removed the weeds that were not crops, and then sat on the edge of the field to rest, letting the warm sun shine overhead. Suddenly, a voice called his name from behind.

"Hey, I mean, you're Alain from the Grizzly Bear Clan, right?" The voice asked briskly, "Your boss...... No, I mean, is your patriarch here? I've come to him for something! ”

Alain quickly turned around - he was unaware that he was being turned behind his back, could it be that this period of farming life had degraded his alertness? With this thought, he was greeted by a familiar woman in white robes, and a small man standing beside her, who had just been asked.

"I ...... I'm Alain. The boy found it difficult to take his eyes off the other man's face. Those dark eyes seemed to have some kind of attraction, and they made him feel unspeakable danger, "Father...... My father is over there, what are you looking for him? ”

"It's just that an old friend came to him to catch up!" The little Iter waved his hand a little impatiently, "Alright, just take us there." Really, how could the apprentice taught by that guy be such a mother-in-law? ”

Alain turned his gaze to the woman for help, whom he recognized, for she had visited his father once every year before. The white-robed woman seemed to smile helplessly, then nodded slightly, agreeing with the statement of the person next to her.

This calmed Alain a little, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead, put away the farming tools, and led the two to his father's dwelling next to the field.

What he didn't expect was that when the 'father' saw the two people opposite, an unconcealable surprise appeared on his usually calm face, and then turned into a complicated expression.

"Long time no see." He spread his hands and motioned for the two of them to sit down casually, "I thought it was impossible to see you walking together, Hylandia, and ...... Hughes. ”

"Well, what's that called?" The little man scratched his hair, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend - it doesn't seem right, anyway, we're in a partnership for the time being, it's normal, right, Larum?" ”

"Well, you're right." Larum shrugged and gave up arguing with the other party, "If you're here to walk with me, then I can give you the answer now." I'm thinking about going about something, but ...... Not yet. ”

"Wow." Hughes exaggeratedly spread his hands and sighed, "It seems that the legendary diehards are starting to loosen up." How about you, would you like to consider doing Bayard a favor with me? ”

Larum didn't look at him at all, "I'll do it myself, investigate something I want to know." So, sorry, little witch. ”

"It's okay." The silver-haired woman nodded slightly, "Seeing that you're all right, it's enough for me." In addition, this time I came mainly to tell you one thing. She looked at Hughes beside her, "Bayard is moving. ”

"It's 'seemingly', 'probably', 'preparingly' and 'ready' to get started!" Hughes emphasized those three words heavily, "That guy still locks himself up in the upper echelons of Elpari, like there's some treasure hidden there!" He touched his nose and sneezed softly, "Who's reading me again." Anyway, he sent Jill to the Wraith Forest to the north to investigate...... I guess, you know what that place is, right? ”

"Of course." Larum nodded heavily, "He can't act for no reason, what's going on there?" ”

"If you have to say it, maybe you were stimulated by that precious disciple of Pfister?" Hughes said with a grin, not looking serious at all, "Actually, that's good, little witch, do you want to make a bet on which side will get the results first-"

"I wish you had a way to stop him, Hughes. After all, it's about that 'agreement'. Highland Cia interrupted the little man, "I'll have time to persuade Bayard and tell him......" she sighed softly, "He's not alone. ”

"But obviously you're not with me!" Hughes puffed out his cheeks and replied angrily. He stared at the white-robed woman for a long time, and finally lost in the other person's gaze.

"Alright, alright, I'll promise you!" The Iter spread his hands and shook his head in frustration, "But I'm not sure to convince him, you know, he's thirty times more stubborn than that Pfister guy!" And speaking of 'promise,'......" he rolled his eyes, "didn't the 'one' not take it into account at all!" ”

"She's not going to cause any trouble." Highland replied calmly, "But Baird is different, and this is the most essential difference. ”

The discussion continued. Alain couldn't comprehend most of their conversation, except that he felt as if he had heard something very unusual. Of course, as on the previous occasions, until the end, the 'father' still did not agree to the invitation of the two.

Although he vaguely felt that the day when his father left him might not be far away.

He had always hoped that this would happen, both for his father and for himself. It was only when it was really approaching that Alain realized that he might ...... He wasn't as ready for this as he had imagined.

"Father." The young man looked at the somewhat wrinkled face and asked with a little apprehension, "Village...... What will happen? ”

The man, who was the village chief, exhaled slowly, then stood up and patted the boy on the shoulder vigorously.

"Possibly or not." "I can't predict what's going to happen in the future, and in fact, no one can." He placed his broad palm on the boy's shoulder again, "The only way to do this is to do our best to protect everything we hold dear." ”

"Whether it's our village, our important companions, or ...... Something we've always had, but never been aware of. ”
