Three days later, Celine was discharged from the hospital.

Alan and Lucy went to the hospital to pick her up, Celine's injuries had almost recovered, and the doctor suggested that she could do some rehab exercises, but not yet be able to engage in high-intensity combat. It's just that Celine doesn't seem to pay much attention to it, this woman with a bold personality has been installed with an electronic prosthetic eye. The prosthetic eye looks no different from a normal person's eyeball, and it is rare that the hospital chose the same eye color for her. Aside from the fact that a closer look reveals that electric fires flash from time to time in the depths of the prosthetic eye's pupil, it is difficult for those who do not know to distinguish the difference between it and a normal eye.

According to Celine's request, Alan also had a half-sided mask ordered. This is a ceramic mask, and the maker even went to the hospital to make Celine's face inversion himself, so that he could get close to Celine's facial features after the mask was made. In fact, this mask did not disappoint Celine, after she put on the mask, if she stood a little farther away, it was difficult to notice that she was wearing a mask on her face.

Unlike normal masks, this mask is very thin, about the thickness of a piece of paper. It has tiny pores on its surface that allow it to breathe. Its only downside is that it has no expression, but Celine doesn't care about it.

She wore this mask that day and returned to the family camp with Alan.

When she came to the camp assigned by the hunting group, Rhys and the others had already prepared a small welcome party for her, which surprised Celine greatly. Taking advantage of the crowd, Allen distributed a few military merit cards to the commanders of several hunting groups, and there were already military merits divided by Allen in them. Among them, the Black Knights, the Silver Pegasus, and the Adjudicator were assigned more military merits, after all, they bear the main pressure of the battle. Rhys and Sock have no problem with this.

The Silver Pegasus of Flex has been killed in battle, and the commander has been replaced by another warrior named Leonard for the time being. After getting the military merit he deserved, Reinada apologized to Allen, "We want to quit early, Young Master Allen." I know that it is a bit of a mistake to make such a request now, but Captain Freis has been killed in battle, and everyone seems to have no intention of continuing the fight. ”

As soon as Fleis died, Leonard in front of him was only level fifteen. This level is the commander of the regiment, and it is a team where the Silver Pegasus is the main battle position, and the strength is obviously too low. It was only natural that they would opt out, and Alan agreed at the moment, and asked them to bring back to Earth the pensions of the Red Fighter and the other fallen so that they could be handed over to the families of the deceased.

Leonard didn't expect Alan to agree so happily, and nodded immediately: "Don't worry, Master Allen." I promise that every penny of the money will be passed on to all the family members. ”

"Then please." Alan patted him on the shoulder.

At the end of the welcome party, Alan found Celine and smiled: "You come to my room, I want to give you something." ”

Unexpectedly, this sentence attracted everyone's sideways, and Rhys blinked his eyes and said, "Boss, you're not fair, why do you only give Miss Celine benefits." Or are those benefits that we don't need? ”

Several men looked at each other and smiled, and Alan shook his head and said, "Celine's weapon was damaged in the last battle, I got a new set for her, and now I have to give it to her." Where did you all think of it? ”

Rhys laughed dryly, but Celine pulled Allen's arm and said, "I don't mind if the boss gives me some special benefits." ”

Alan couldn't stand this kind of adult joke, and stroked his forehead and said, "I recruited you guys." ”

Amid laughter, Celine and Alan leave. Coming to Alan's room, Celine quieted down. When Eren went to get her gear, she stood alone by the window. Holding on to the windowsill, Celine looked at the playground outside the window, her expression was calm, and she was like the uninhibited appearance just now. It wasn't until Alan brought the equipment box that she regained her smile: "What good things does the boss want to give me?" ”

"It's not very good equipment, but it's okay." Eren opened it, took out the "Dawn of Empire" suit, and handed it to Celine's hand.

Celine saw that it was a combination of a shield and a long sword, which was no different from her usual weapon combination except for the different styles. She separated the shield from the sword, made a few casual movements, and nodded, "Much better than my previous equipment." ”

"This is a set of magical equipment, with shields and swords each with different abilities. These days, if you have time, you can familiarize yourself with them, and I used my own private share to exchange them for their military merits, so you don't have to worry, your Black Knights have no less military merits. ”

Celine put the sword of enlightenment into the inner sheath of her shield and sighed, "Chief, you are so good to me, that I don't even want to go to battle. Or how about simply being your woman, the lover's kind? ”

Alan had a headache and said, "Don't fool me." ”

Celine laughed: "Okay, okay, I'll stop kidding you." I love this outfit, thank you. If it's okay, I'll leave first, I'm in the hospital until I'm almost rusty, and now I have to find someone to practice with me. Just try their performance. ”

"Just pay attention to yourself, don't be too forced."

"Got it."

Seeing Celine away, Alan exhaled. Seeing that Celine's demeanor is still the same, I finally let go of one thing in my heart. At this time, he received a text message, but the hospital wanted him to go back so that he could do a detailed examination of the reconnected left arm. So Alan informed Lucy and drove to the field hospital by himself.

It was already late afternoon when I came out of the hospital, and the afternoon was almost spent on check-ups and an extra minor operation. The medical ring could be removed, and the bones of Allen's severed arm were joined and stabilized. Although the bones at the joint are still relatively fragile, they can already be used normally. Of course, it will take some time to get back to combat form, but it's good news for Allen.

He left the hospital in a light car and drove on the road to the camp. The twilight sun shone from the side of the car and fell on Alan's face. Relaxing music was playing in the car, and Alan even hummed a few words along with it, and his mood was the most relaxed in the past few days. Seeing that the camp was approaching, at this moment, the light suddenly dimmed in front of him. The steering wheel, the instrument watch, the road in front of the car, the camp in the distance, and so on were all pulled away one by one. In the end, all that was left was darkness.

In the darkness, another fire rose, and Allen's eyes were stained with blood. The strong smell of blood rushed to the world, desperately drilling into Allen's nose, as if he had accidentally fallen into a sea of blood.

Suddenly, the smell of blood receded, and the world returned to its original state. The sound music in the car was still playing, as if it was just a brief dream for Allen.

He knew it wasn't a dream, of course, but Karin was coming!
