Returning to the tower's old residence from the welcome party, Alan stood in front of the door for a moment before pushing the door in. The door retracted, revealing a quiet entryway. Next to the entrance was a box with a heavy knife and a rucksack next to it, containing some of Allen's personal belongings. These things, naturally, were sent to him by the servants in the castle.

Alan turned the hallway, the living room was quiet and bright, and the afternoon sunlight from the window left a large spot on the ground. The dust danced in the sun, just as the time was still fixed on the morning he had left two years ago. As soon as the changes here were made, even the furnishings of the furniture remained the same as they were at that time. Servants clean it every day, as if time has not left any trace here.

There is a slight difference, but the young man at that time has matured a lot now.

Walking over to a round table, Alan picked up a picture frame on it. In the photo frame, it is Lannie of Girls' Generation. In the photo, she seems to have traveled through time, and her eyes fall on Alan's face. Alan looked at the photo and muttered, "I'm back, Mother." ”

Alan went to the balcony and sat alone by the carved railing, enjoying this rare moment of silence. But I couldn't think of the banquet just now, Lucy and Adele had no quarrel, but the two girls looked at each other unpleasantly, and even the conversation was full of words. Remembering that he might have to be caught between the two girls for a while, Alan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The banquet was attended by young people, and apart from Allen's own friends, there were not many people on the family side. Known as the Tyrannosaurus, Reina returned from his father's expedition to the Outlands, and the only people at the banquet were Regess, Arthur, and a few other siblings.

Among them, Kodoff's younger brother Arthur, a very gentle teenager, always makes Alan feel uncomfortable. It was purely a gut feeling, even if Arthur didn't show the slightest malice during the whole process. He even scolded Kodoff for not murdering his brother back then, but in the eyes of that young man, Alan always felt that he saw something else.

Those things made Arthur's eyes less bright than Regers, and made Alan reluctant to approach.

He shook his head, Kodoff had already paid for what he had done, even though there were many doubts behind it. But all of them became a thing of the past with his death, and neither Horn nor Allen were willing to pursue it, and that would only lead to a split in the family.

So now, if Arthur didn't show malice, no matter how much Alan didn't like him, he could only treat him as a brother. Of course, this so-called brother does not refer to Regers, but just to maintain the relationship of ordinary family members.

This time back in Babylon, Alan had to meet someone.

Father Miro!

The next day, Alan arrived alone in the town of Lewin. The town is bathed in the early morning sun, and the people of the town have risen. Although there are not many pedestrians, you can see that the town is full of energy. Most of the inhabitants of the town of Lewin were servants, bodyguards, and their families who served Bethcord. With Bethcord's strength soaring in the past two years, the number of residents in the small town of Lewin has increased significantly.

Now, there are many more construction sites on the east and west sides of the town, rows of scaffolding are already working, and the town is expanding. On the other hand, Bethcord's power is growing rapidly, with a small food processing plant or two in the town and a dense orchard in the suburbs. This solves the problem of food supply to a large extent and provides more employment opportunities for the town's residents.

By the time Alan walked into town, there were already fruit growers returning from delivering fresh fruits and vegetables from the countryside. These fruits and vegetables will be delivered to the small square of the town, and then sold to the large and small fruit and vegetable stalls in the town, and finally fall into the hands of the townspeople. The town square is very lively early in the morning. Some fruit and vegetable stall owners come to the square to buy fresh fruits and vegetables from the farmers. In it, Alan actually met Mary, the oldest of Willik's adopted children.

She and her two and a half children bought a small cart of fruits and vegetables and were withdrawing from the crowd. I didn't want too many people, so I was crowded, and the small cart immediately turned over. Seeing that he was about to overwhelm the three of them, Allen's figure flashed, swept a few meters away, and firmly pressed the edge of the cart with one hand, only a few vegetables fell out.

Mary and the two boys had already sat down on the ground, their faces pale. Alan smiled at them and said, "Are you all right?" ”

"Ah, it's Master Allen." Mei Li hurriedly stood up, bowed her head a little embarrassed, and said, "Thank you, young master." Otherwise, the two of them would definitely be injured. ”

Alan glanced at the cart and said, "Can you eat all the fruits and vegetables?" ”

"Because the morning market is cheap and fresh, we will save some of it. If you can't finish eating, you can make jam or dried fruits, and then sell them to others, and you can make more money. Mary said with a straight head.

Alan was surprised, he didn't think that this little girl was quite good at calculating. He said, "Next time, don't buy so many things at once." Willik and I will return from this expedition, and the family will pay him a supplementary allowance, which should be enough for you to spend a while. ”

Mary said solemnly: "That's also earned by Brother Willik's blood and sweat, we can save as much as we want to save, and we can't always be a burden to him." ”

Alan nodded, reached out and touched Mary's head and said, "You've grown up." So Mary, if you want to make money, I can ask Mr. Helsing. If you are not afraid of hard work, I want to leave the house of the tower to you to clean in the future. ”

Mary's eyes lit up: "Really? I'm not afraid of hard work, and I'm the best at cleaning up my home. I've cleaned up the house! ”

"That's good, I'll let Mr. Helsing know when I get back. You don't have to live in a castle either, you can go home after your work every day. ”

"Thank you so much, Master Allen." Mary laughed happily.

With Allen's current status, it would be easy to give Mary a sum of money. But he believes that it would be better to give her a job to make Mary happier. Self-reliance is the best way to reflect a person's value. What Mary needs is not only money, but also proof of her worth, which can be seen from the fact that she doesn't want to be a burden to Willik.

"By the way, Master Allen, why did you come to town, did you want to find Brother Willik?" Mary asked again.

Alan shook his head: "No, I gave Willik their leave, I have to let them rest for a while." I'm here for someone, Mary, do you know where the church is? ”

A boy next to him raised his hand and shouted, "I know, I know." ”

Mary also suddenly realized, "So you're here to find Father Miro, right?" Young Master Allen also came to listen to the priest's sermon? Everyone says that the priest is a messenger of the gospel sent by God. ”

This time, Allen was surprised.

It is unbelievable that Father Miró, who regards money as his life, has such an evaluation as a "messenger of the gospel" in the small town of Lewin.

Mary pushed the little boy, "Just let little George take you." ”

"Okay." Alan looked at the cute boy with freckles on his face, "Then please, George." ”

The little boy puffed up his chest: "Wrap it around me." ”

Coming to the door of the church, many residents were entering the church one after another. After saying goodbye to the little boy, Alan entered the church alone. The chapel of Lewin is not large, and it can accommodate twenty or thirty people. Alan found a corner to sit down, and found that the church was full, and there were even people standing at the door of the church, which made him surprised.

Moments later, Father Miró walked in through the side door of the pulpit. His appearance was very different from what he had seen in Black Iron that day, and he was dressed in a white sacrificial robe, and a holy belt with a purple background and embroidered with a golden cross and other patterns. The messy hair was also meticulously combed, and the whole person walked to the pulpit in glory, smiled and opened his arms, and said: "Good morning, brothers and sisters, today is also a day full of hope. ”

"Now, then, let's have morning prayers."

After the morning prayers, Fr. Miró gave a sermon to the residents. It can be seen that he is at home here in the small town of Lewin. After 20 minutes of preaching, the residents looked at Miro with adoring eyes as if they had been brainwashed.

After the sermon ended, people left intermittently, and some even stepped forward to hug Miró. Miró maintained a polite appearance and maintained a kind and kind appearance throughout. It wasn't until the people were almost gone and saw Allen, who was sitting alone, that the smile on the priest's face froze. He reacted quickly, and after sending the last member away, he closed the door to the auditorium.

"Father Miro, it seems that you are doing well. Hey, Evangelist, you're not going to take gifts from your followers in private, are you? Alan smiled faintly.

Miro said with a serious face: "There is no such thing, even if they insist on sending me, I will refuse." ”

"Then Master Allen, it turns out that you have returned. Thanks to you, I'm doing well here. When I first arrived, Father Ollie was too old to preside over the affairs of the church, and I took over. For two years, as you can see, Lewin's brothers and sisters liked me. ”

"If that's the case, it's a bit of a pity, and when I come back this time, I'm going to set up my own hunting group. When the time comes, I think the priest will be happy to join, right? After all, we are missing the role of a military doctor in our ranks. ”

Father Miro's face changed slightly: "It's true that I have been a military doctor, but I also seem to have mentioned that I am good at psychological trauma." ”

"Then the priest can also learn some knowledge of battlefield first aid, the priest has been in the army, and if you want to learn it, the progress will definitely be very smooth. There is no need to rush, it takes time to form a hunting group, and it takes time to prepare for the actual expedition. So you see, you still have plenty of time. Alan laughed. R1058
