Despite winning the war and making an agreement with his 'father' to protect the village, Alan's life did not seem to change as he imagined.
Because his 'father' Holo, or Lalum, performed important feats in the war, the Grizzly Bear Tribe was able to move collectively to the south and live in the more fertile land that originally belonged to the Ailna people.
.
That means that Alan's daily life has changed from carrying water and hunting knives to the northern wilderness in the hope of catching valuable prey, to wielding shovels and hoes, fighting in front of his 'father' and several Elna people.
Under the guidance of the young people, they worked hard to cultivate and cultivate their existing homes.
This kind of daily life is a bit boring for him. But he understands that owning such a fertile land has been the long-standing dream of the Saqi people. And this also means that from now on, they do not have to rely on God's favor and can easily
Fill your stomach.
As for those Elna people——
At first, there was some grudge between them. After all, the two sides had just finished a war, and the Elna people, who regarded themselves as elegant, did not go well with the rough-looking Sachi people. Fortunately, both the Sachi people and the Elna people,
They all believe in the "Lord of Heaven" who controls life, and the recognition of their faith has become an opportunity for them to communicate.
After getting along with each other, Alan gradually discovered that although the residents in these forests were a little arrogant, they were sincerely helping them. Moreover, the Elna people's knowledge of plants and farming was indeed beyond their reach. In this way, he felt
These 'forest dwellers' aren't that annoying anymore.
From the other side's perspective, perhaps the same is true.
“I didn’t expect you Northerners to be decent at farm work.” These were the exact words of the Elna sentry named Hells. “Giving this land to you may not be considered a waste. Note.
Well, treat the earth with gratitude and respect, and it will reward you."
Time passed like this day by day. In his free time, he still worked hard to practice fighting skills with his 'father'. Even so far, he still has not been able to defeat each other once. Glock returned to his original village, and the two made an agreement.
, when Glock comes of age, they will travel south together to see a wider world with their own eyes.
On this day, as usual, he watered the new shoots 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 sunshine shine on his head. Suddenly, a voice called from behind.
got his name.
"Hey, let me tell you, you are Alan from the Grizzly Bear Tribe, right?" The voice asked briskly, "Your boss... No, I mean, is your clan leader here? I came to see him for something!"
"
Alan quickly turned around - someone came up behind him without realizing it. Could it be that his vigilance had deteriorated during this period of farming life? Along with this thought, a familiar person jumped into his sight.
The woman in white robe, and the little man standing next to her - the question just now came from the other party.
"I...I am Alan." The young man found it difficult to look away from the other person's face. Those dark eyes seemed to have some kind of attraction, and made him feel unspeakably dangerous, "Father...
Father is over there, what do you want from him?"
"It's just an old friend who came to catch up with him!" The little Yite waved his hand a little impatiently, "Okay, just take us there quickly. Really, how could the apprentice taught by that guy do this?
Are you so mother-in-law?"
Alan turned his eyes to the woman for help - he recognized her because she would visit his father once every year before. The woman in the white robe seemed to smile helplessly, then nodded slightly, recognizing the person next to her.
statement.
This made Alan feel at ease a little. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, put away the farm tools, and took the two of them to his father's residence next to the field.
What he didn't expect was that when his father saw the two people opposite him, his usually calm face showed surprise that was difficult to conceal, and then turned into a complicated expression.
"Long time no see." He spread his hands and gestured for the two of them to sit down casually, "I thought it was impossible to see you together, Helencia, 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. In short, we have a cooperative relationship for the time being. This is normal, right?
Larum?”
"Okay, everything you said is right." Lalum shrugged, giving up arguing with the other party, "If you are here to come with me, I can give you the answer now. I am considering doing something, but...
…Not yet.”
"Wow." Hughes exaggeratedly spread his hands and exclaimed, "It seems that the legendary die-hards are starting to loosen up. What do you think, do you want to consider working with me to help Bayard?"
Lalum didn't look at him at all, "I will act on my own to investigate some things I want to know. So, I'm sorry, little witch."
"It's okay." The silver-haired woman nodded lightly, "It's enough for me to see that you are fine. In addition, the main reason I came here this time is to tell you something." She looked at the people around her.
Hughes, "Bayard springs into action."
"It seems 'probably' ready to take action!" Hughes emphasized those three words, "That guy is still locking himself up in the upper floor of El Pare, as if there is some treasure hidden there.
Yes!" He touched his nose and sneezed softly, "Who is thinking about me again? In short, he asked Jill to go to the ghost forest in the north to investigate... I guess you know where that place is?"
"Of course." Larum nodded heavily, "He can't act without reason. What happened there?"
"If I have to say it, you were probably stimulated by Pfister's precious disciple?" Hughes said with a smile, not looking serious at all, "Actually, this is quite good, little witch, do you want to give me a fight?"
Bet on which side can achieve results first——"
"I hope you can stop him, Hughes. After all, this is related to the 'promise'." Helencia interrupted the little man, "Go and persuade Bayard when you have time and tell him...
"She sighed softly, "He is not alone."
"But obviously you are not with me!" Hughes puffed up his cheeks and replied angrily. He stared at the woman in white robe for a long time, and finally lost in her eyes.
"Okay, okay, I promise you!" Yitren spread his hands and shook his head helplessly, "But I'm not sure I can convince him. You know, he's better than that guy Feist.
Thirty times more stubborn! And when it comes to 'promise'..." He rolled his eyes, "Didn't 'that one' not take it seriously at all?"
"She won't cause any trouble." Hylanthia replied calmly, "But Baird is different. This is the most essential difference."
The discussion between several people continued. Alan could not understand most of the content of their conversation, but he felt that he had heard something extraordinary. Of course, like the previous times, until the end, 'father' still did not
Agree to their invitation.
Although he vaguely felt that the day when his father left him might not be far away.
He had always been looking forward to this happening, whether it was for his father or for himself. Only when it really approached, Alan realized that he might... not be as ready to face this as he imagined.
arrival.
"Father." The young man looked at the wrinkled face and asked with a little anxiety, "What will happen to the village...?"
The man who was the village chief exhaled slowly, then stood up and patted the young man's shoulder hard.
"Maybe, maybe not." He said, "I can't predict what will happen in the future. In fact, no one can do it." He put his generous palm on the young man's shoulder again, "It can be done.
We can only do our best to protect everything we hold dear."
"Whether it's our village, important companions, or...those things we have always had but never realized."
