On the third Sunday after returning to the Guardian Academy, Allen, who had been practicing hard for many days, finally received Barren's approval on this sunny afternoon, and Ballon personally awarded him the high-level knight crest, and Alan officially became a real high-level knight.

The news quickly spread throughout the Knights' Branch, and although Eren was still a long way from awakening, Eren's advancement had exceeded most people's expectations.

In fact, even Balren couldn't believe that Alan had advanced from a middle-level knight in such a short period of time, and he rigorously tested Allen's physical fitness, martial arts, and comprehension of the Holy Power of Light, and found that although Allen's time was amazingly short, his growth was indeed genuine.

On the second day of advancement, Allen, who changed into the armor of a high-level knight, went to the Klein mansion, ready to tell his friends the news, but to his disappointment, his friends were not in the house, only Charlie was, and when he asked, Laxa went to a distant town to do business, and took them with him, Charlie handed a letter to Allen, and Alan saw that it was actually left by Crete, and the letter was to the effect that the feather left by Carbenzis had mysteriously disappeared, and no matter how they searched for it, they could not find it, and the magic book had completely lost all its magic power, and the magic array drawn on it could not be activated, but the last page of the book shows a strange coordinates, they consulted the map of the continent, the location of this coordinate, in today's Drayton City, Laxa decided to find out what this coordinate is, everyone decided to go, Drayton City is relatively remote in the south of the continent, this trip may take months, and when they come back, I'm afraid it will be July and August, so that Alan doesn't have to worry and so on.

One thing in the letter surprised Allen, Crete said in the letter that for some indescribable reasons, his magic power had increased madly three times in a short period of time, and he had advanced to a high-level magician, and now he had become the captain of the guard officially hired by the Klein Chamber of Commerce.

"I didn't believe in miracles, but it did happen to me. ”

These are the exact words of Crete in the letter.

"It seems that we can only wait for him to come back and ask" After saying goodbye to Charlie, Alan pondered while walking aimlessly along the road, from day to evening, after walking for a long time, there was a building in front of him blocking the way, and suddenly looked up and saw that it was Christine's villa, and his legs actually brought him here.

The eaves of this small building are covered with melted and frozen ice picks, and there is an indescribable feeling in the sunset, and the stone path in front of the door has long been covered with snow, and it looks like no one has been here for a long time.

Alan wanted to go in a different direction and walk away, but a pair of legs revealed his true thoughts and led him to the door.

Alan hesitated for a long time, but finally opened the door in front of him.

Everything was just as it had been when he left, except that the faint fragrance in the air had long since dissipated. All that was left was a room full of cold and gloom.

Alan tried to activate the lighting magic array in the room, and after the hard tremors, the magic array was successfully activated, and the faint magic flame gradually lit up the dim living room. However, the heating circle had lost its magic and did not respond.

The living room was quiet, except for the faint sound of a magical flame burning, and nothing else.

Allen's hand brushed the back of the sofa, and his fingers were stained with a thin layer of dust, and the loneliness of people going to the empty building once again surfaced in Allen's heart.

At this time, there was a sudden squeaky sound of the door closing on the second floor, and Alan was shocked, there was actually someone else upstairs! He hurriedly pulled out the cross sword hanging from his waist and said loudly: "Who's up there!"

However, there was no response, and at this moment, all the magical flames in the living room were extinguished! The living room instantly dimmed, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone into the room through the blurred glass, barely bringing a little light.

At this moment, the building was completely silent, so quiet that you could hear the sound of a needle falling on the ground. No more sound came from the second floor.

Allen's heart tightened, and he directly launched the power of the Odal Divine Stone, and the beautiful magic patterns were instantly covered with Allen's brand-new high-level knight armor, and the power of the dark green divine stone slowly flowed on the surface of the armor, deep and quiet, but Allen sensed the power contained in the armor, which was unprecedentedly powerful.

"Who's where!" called Eren again.

Still no response.

Since cultivating the Holy Power of Light and advancing to a high-level knight, Eren feels that his heart has become much more benevolent, and before figuring out who is upstairs, in the spirit of not hurting people, he did not activate the power of the divine stone attached to the cross sword, but only carefully crossed his chest to prevent unknown attacks. Then, Alan cautiously walked up the stairs, in order to make it easier to see the second floor, Alan stimulated the light and holy power in his body, and the faint milky white brilliance and the green light on the armor complemented each other, illuminating the surroundings.

Alan walked up to the second floor and found that there was a faint light in Christine's room! He remembered that when he left, he obviously turned off all the lighting circles, and besides, it had been so long, no matter how good the lighting circles were, they should have failed, it seemed that there must be someone in the room, this guy actually entered Christine's room! Alan was shocked and angry, because no matter who the other party was, it was not a good person to enter someone else's bedroom casually, let alone in the absence of the owner!

"Who!huh?" Alan kicked the door open, and his whole body was full of holy light, Alan wanted to drink, but he was suddenly stunned, there was no one else in the room, only a thin girl curled up on Christine's bed, wearing only a tattered gray robe, on her dirty little face, a pair of big eyes full of horror looked at Alan, and the faint light was just half a candle lit on the table.

"Who are you?" Seeing that the initiator was actually a poor little girl, Allen's tone suddenly softened a lot, and he slowly stepped forward. However, he did not let his guard down at all, because after the previous battles, he knew that the stronger the opponent, the more powerful the disguise. The weak-looking girl in front of her may be a top-notch thief, or an assassin who knows how to disguise. In short, it can't be just a little girl, Alan tried his best to keep his tone calm, but he was ready for battle, and the power of the divine stone of the long sword in his hand was ready to be released.

The little girl didn't answer, and when she saw Alan come forward, she leaned against the corner of the bed in fear, and pulled the quilt over to cover her bare skin.

Seeing that the girl did not answer, Alan asked again, but the girl did not have anything but a more nervous look and a more shrunken body.

Alan walked to the side of the bed step by step, and the little girl had no room to dodge, her expression was extremely nervous, and her eyes actually became watery, as if she was going to cry in the next second.

"You... "You..." Alan was about to ask again, when he suddenly found a plate on the table next to the bed, and there was a gray thing on the plate, and Alan picked up the plate and saw that it was a rotten and spoiled piece of bread.

"You're going to eat this?" Alan frowned slightly, looked at the little girl, and found that the little girl's eyes seemed to become more nervous, although she didn't say a word, but her can't stop swallowing saliva, and the sound of her stomach rumbling, have told Alan that this is indeed the little girl's rations.

Unconsciously, Alan relaxed his vigilance, he was about to insert the long sword back into his waist, suddenly thought of something, and pulled out the long sword, and the blade of the sword reached the tip of the girl's nose: "No, there are no footprints on the snow in front of the door, you say, who are you!"

The little girl was startled by Allen, seeing that the sword blade was in front of her eyes, the fear in her heart could no longer be suppressed, tears flowed out of her eyes, she quickly covered her mouth, forced to hold back the sound of crying, her thin shoulders shrugged, and the wide gray robe slipped down, revealing the girl's shoulders.

"Huh?" Alan suddenly thought of a few snowfalls a few days ago, although it was not big, but it was enough to cover the footprints, and then looking at the girl like this, Allen suddenly felt a strong apology in his heart, it seems that this is really a poor child in front of him, probably homeless, bullied, or just escaped from the hands of bandits and bullies, and finally found a place to live, but was discovered by himself.

The knight's benevolence and generosity once again filled Allen's heart, Allen hurriedly put away the long sword, half-knelt beside the bed, the holy light blooming all over his body also softened a lot, Allen said to the little girl as kindly as possible: "Child, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, look, I'm a knight, can you tell me, what is your name, where is home?"

The girl didn't speak, sobbing and shaking her head.

"I don't know, or... I don't remember, ah, it's..." Allen's head suddenly grew.

"So... Do you understand what I'm saying?"

The girl still couldn't stop sobbing, but finally nodded.

"Then you..."

A grunt interrupted Alan's questioning, and Eren remembered that the girl still seemed to be hungry. Alan hurriedly got up and said to the little girl: "Child, you are hungry, you can't eat this kind of thing, it's not good for your health, wait for me here, I'll buy you something to eat" As soon as Alan picked up the plate with bad bread, the girl involuntarily wanted to probe out, and she wanted to take it with both hands, but because she was afraid, she stretched out halfway and immediately retracted it.

Alan couldn't cry or laugh: "Well, this can't be eaten, I'll go buy you some food, wait for me here, okay?" ”

The girl looked a little hesitant, but nodded anyway.

Alan got up and tried to turn on the lighting magic and heating magic in the room, and the two magic arrays quickly worked, and when the mayor of the town prepared for Christine's residence, he was still very careful, at least the quality of the magic circle in this room was much better than that of the living room, and it stopped for so long, and when it was in operation again, it was not obscure.

Through the light of the magic flame, Alan looked at the little girl again, her long gray hair seemed to have not been trimmed for a long time, messy, and her little face was dirty, she couldn't see her original appearance, only a pair of light gray eyes were very clear, but there was too much fear in them.

"Wait for me here, I'll be back shortly. Alan smiled and walked out of the room and closed the door. Head straight to the central square.

Because it was a little later, it would be dark, and many shops would be closed.

After turning a few streets, Alan rushed to the square, but fortunately it was not too late, Alan bought some freshly baked toast, and a dessert full of cream pudding, and a large glass of hot strawberry milk, Alan thought that children should like this. Then I went to a clothing store, ready to buy a set of clothes for the little girl, after all, the robe she was wearing now was too shabby, but when the shopkeeper asked what size, Alan was in a difficult situation, she did not know the age of the little girl, and did not know the height of the little girl, so she had to say a rough number to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper looked at him with a rather strange look, and then smiled, and said a few words: "Yes, understand," and went to find a few sets of clothes that looked "some" strange.

"Is this... for children?" Seeing the clothes that the shopkeeper took out, Allen's face suddenly turned red again.

"Isn't this what you like, Mr. Knight?" a rhetorical question from the shopkeeper let Alan know that this guy had completely misunderstood what he meant.

"I just want normal girls' clothes, ordinary ones!" Alan almost hissed・・・・・・

After buying a few sets of clothes and some food, the money Alan brought with him was almost spent, and the time to come up with it was not short, in case the girl felt that she had left her and ran away.

"Eh, why do I care so much about her?" Alan asked himself as he hurried back with a large pile of things in his arms.

"Probably, she's too pitiful, or is it because she's advanced?"

Soon, Christine's house appeared in his field of vision, and Alan looked at the light from the second floor, and his heart was relieved, and he saw the figure of the girl standing in front of the window, as if she was looking out・・・・・・
