Allen led some officials from the Temple Knight Reserve and the Administrative Department towards the direction of his castle.
The castles of nobles were usually built outside the city. On the one hand, the nobles could not tolerate the dirty environment in the city.
On the other hand, it is for defensive reasons.
Noble castles usually built their castles on steep terrain.
For example, the castle of the Allen family is built on a steep cliff. Below the cliff is the sea water. If there is an invasion from a foreign enemy, the only way is a frontal attack.
When Allen and his party arrived at the castle, it was already noon.
This is a three-story castle with a thick wall on the outside. It is visually estimated to be ten meters high. There are defensive bunkers on both sides. Under normal circumstances, there should be patrolling knights on the bunkers.
But at this time, the outer wall of the castle was scarred, as if it had experienced a battle, and black blood stains were still faintly visible on it.
After crossing the moat, Allen and his party entered the castle.
Feeling the desolation of the castle, Allen couldn't help but feel sad: "Uncle Doby, are there any survivors among the knights of the Guards?"
Hearing this, Dolby's turbid eyes became even darker: "Master Allen, since the last time the Red Skull pirates sacked the castle, the guards have been dispersed. Although a few people came back later, but..."
Dubi's meaning is very clear. There are probably not many people in the Guards.
Allen nodded. The situation was as he expected. After a defeat, the Guards either died in battle or fled, and it was normal for only a few to be left.
"What about...the family's pharmacist?"
Allen couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Potion pharmacist, this was not only a special instruction from God, but also related to whether the family could be revived.
"Master Allen, the pirates looted the castle's wealth and kidnapped the castle's maids, but they didn't take away any of the pharmacists. I kept them all in the castle."
Dolby pointed at the castle in front of him and said loyally.
Hearing Dolby's words, not only Allen was excited, but Zheng Dong was even more excited. The biggest obstacle restricting the production of Huanglongdan was finally solved to a certain extent.
"Take me to see them!"
Allen took a deep breath and ordered.
"As you command, Master Allen."
Dolby bowed and led Allen towards the interior of the castle.
Although Blue Harbor Town is not wealthy, it is more than enough to support some ordinary potion pharmacists through taxation.
Inside the castle.
Different from the liveliness before, after a big war, the castle now looks very deserted.
"Master Allen!"
"Master Allen!"
"Master Allen is back, Master Allen is back!"
Entering the castle, male servants kept recognizing Allen and came up to say hello to Allen in shock.
"What's the noise! What's the noise! Don't you have to work?"
An old man with a white beard came out of a room in the castle, blowing his beard and scolding everyone.
"Grandpa Sori!"
"Master Allen?" The old man with a white beard could hardly believe his eyes, and walked forward tremblingly on crutches, "It's really you, Master Allen, are you still alive?!"
"God bless you!"
The old housekeeper Sori made a praying gesture.
"I'm still alive, Grandpa Sori!" Allen choked with sobs.
"Just live, just live! As long as you live, there is hope, there is hope..."
Sori muttered repeatedly, somewhat incoherently.
Zheng Dong's consciousness gathered around Allen, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that Allen was really miserable. Fortunately, he met him.
"Grandpa Suori, where are the family's pharmacists? I want to see them now."
Seeing that Allen had just returned home, Sori wanted to see the pharmacist and knew that Allen had the idea of reorganizing the family guard.
"Master Allen, you..."
"Grandpa Suoli, take me there quickly."
"good."
Seeing that Alan was determined, the old butler Sori took him towards the family's potion workshop.
When the Baron of Blueport Town was alive, the castle not only had its own guards, city guards, but also a small workshop for making potions.
It's just that now that the castle's wealth has been looted, there is no financial resources to buy potion ingredients, and all the pharmacists are basically in a state of idleness.
If it weren't for the fact that we are all from Blueport Town and the favor we received from the Baron, I'm afraid some of the pharmacists would have been dissatisfied and defected to other nobles.
In the potion workshop, a pharmacist was complaining.
"Seus, are we just going to hang out in the castle and wait to die? The Baron is dead and Master Allen's whereabouts are unknown. How long will we have to wait?"
"Gall, wait a moment, I believe Master Allen will be fine."
After hearing this, the pharmacist named Gal muttered a few words and stopped talking.
Hughes is the person in charge of this potion workshop. He is responsible for all the knight potions produced by the potion workshop every year.
It can be said that under the Baron, his status is no less than that of the original captain of the Guards, and he is the Baron's right-hand man.
At this moment, not only was Gale dissatisfied, but everyone was a little impatient. The baron died and the whereabouts of his heir was unknown, making everyone panic.
"Uncle Hughes!"
Hearing this, Hughes turned around, and then the expression on his face was exactly the same as Sori's just now. His mouth opened slightly in surprise: "Ai...Master Allen?!"
"I'm back, Uncle Hughes."
Allen stepped forward and hugged Hughes fiercely.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back!"
...
Allen then told everyone in detail what happened after he escaped. After everyone listened, they felt as if they were listening to a biography of a knight-errant.
"Master Allen, are you saying that you met God on a desert island?"
Dolby was a little hesitant, wondering if Allen's head was abnormal after experiencing a blow.
Hughes didn't care whether it was a god or not. He looked at Allen excitedly.
"Master Allen, you just said that there are a lot of potions and herbs on Crescent Island, as well as spiritual flowers?"
"Don't worry, everyone, everything I said is true."
Allen stretched out his palm, and a milky white fighting spirit slowly circled on his palm.
"Fighting... fighting spirit?!" Hughes opened his eyes wide, "Super Knight?!"
