Chapter 276: Visiting the Priest Again
Returning from the welcome banquet to the former residence of the tower, Allen stood in front of the door for a moment before pushing the door and entering. The door retracted, revealing a quiet entrance. There is a box next to the entrance, which contains the heavy knife Qianjun, and next to it is a backpack containing some of Allen's personal sundries. Naturally, these things were brought to him by the servants in the castle.
Allen turned around the entrance, the living room was quiet and bright, and the afternoon sunlight from the window left large spots of light on the ground. The dust danced lightly in the sun, as if the time was still frozen in the morning when he left two years ago. Nothing has changed here, even the furnishings of the furniture have remained the same as they were then. There are servants cleaning and cleaning every day, as if time has left no trace here.
Those who are slightly different are just that the young boy at that time has matured a lot now.
Walking to a round table, Allen picked up a photo frame on it. In the photo frame is Lani from Girls' Generation. In the photo, she seemed to have traveled through time, and her eyes fell on Allen's face. Allen looked at the photo and murmured, "I'm back, mother."
Allen came to the balcony and sat alone beside the carved railing, enjoying this rare quiet time. But he couldn't think of the banquet just now. Lucy and Adele hadn't quarreled, but the two girls looked at each other disliked, and even the conversation was full of verbal strife. Thinking that he might have to be caught in the storm between the two girls for a while, Allen couldn't help but smile wryly.
All the people attending the banquet were young people. Apart from Alan's own friends, there were not many people from the family. Renner, who is known as the Tyrannosaurus Rex, has not yet returned from his father's expedition to Outland, and only Regis, Arthur and a few other brothers and sisters attended the banquet.
Among them, Kodov's younger brother Arthur, a seemingly gentle boy, always makes Allen feel uncomfortable. It was pure intuition, even if Arthur didn't show the slightest malice in the whole process. He even reprimanded Kodov for murdering his brother in the clan, but in the eyes of that young man, Allen always felt that he saw something else.
Those things made Arthur's eyes not as bright as Regis's, and made Alan reluctant to approach them.
He shook his head. Kodov had already paid for what he did back then, even though there were still many doubts behind it. But everything is in the past with his death, neither Horn nor Alan is willing to pursue it any further. Such a result can only lead to the split of the family in the end.
So now, if Arthur didn't show any 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 Regis's kind, but just maintains the relationship of ordinary family members.
Back in Babylon this time, Allen had to meet one more person.
Father Miro!
the next day,
Allen came to the small town of Levin alone. The town is bathed in the morning sun, and the people in the town are already up. Although there are not many pedestrians, you can see that this small town is full of vitality. Most of the residents in the small town of Lewin are servants, guards and their families serving Bethkind. With the soaring strength of Bethkind in the past two years, the number of residents in the small town of Levin has increased significantly.
Now, there are many construction sites on the east and west sides of the town, workers are already working on rows of scaffolding, and the town is expanding. From another angle, it can be seen that Bethkind's influence is developing at a high speed. There are even one or two small food processing factories in the town, and a lush orchard has grown in the suburbs. This solved the problem of food supply to a large extent, and also provided more employment opportunities for the residents of the town.
When Allen walked into the town, some fruit farmers had already returned from the suburbs with fresh fruits and vegetables. These fruits and vegetables will be sent to the small square of the town, then sold to various fruit and vegetable stalls in the town, and finally fall into the hands of the residents of the town. In the town square, it was very lively early in the morning. The owners of some vegetable and fruit stalls will come to the square to buy fresh fruits and vegetables from the farmers. In it, Allen actually meets Mei Li, the oldest girl among Willick's adopted children.
She and her two and a half older children bought a cart of fruits and vegetables and were exiting the crowd. I didn't want too many people, and when I was squeezed, the small cart turned over immediately. Seeing that the three of them were about to be overwhelmed, Alan's figure flashed, skimmed a distance of several meters, and firmly pressed the edge of the cart with one hand, only a few vegetables fell out.
Meili and the two boys had already sat down on the ground, their little faces pale. Allen smiled at them and said, "Are you all right?"
"Ah, it's Master Allen." Meili stood up quickly, lowered her head a little embarrassedly and said, "Thank you, Master. Otherwise, the two brats would definitely be hurt."
Allen glanced at the cart and said, "Can you finish all these fruits and vegetables?"
"Because the things in the morning market are cheap and fresh, we will save some of them. If we can't finish them, we can make jam or dried fruit and sell them to others, and we can make more money." Meili said logically.
Allen was surprised, he didn't expect this little girl to be quite budget-conscious. He smiled and said: "Next time, don't buy so many things at once. This time when Willick and I come back from the expedition, the family will give him a supplementary allowance, which should be enough for you to spend a long time."
Mei Li said solemnly: "Brother Willick earned it with his blood and sweat. If we want to save money, we should try to save as much as possible, and we can't always be his burden."
Allen nodded, reached out to touch Meili's head and said, "You have grown up. Then Meili, if you want to make money, I can ask Mr. Heissing. If you are not afraid of hard work, I want to put the house in the tower, I'll leave it to you to clean up later."
Meili's eyes lit up: "Really? I'm not afraid of hard work. I'm the best at cleaning the house. I clean up the house!"
"That's good. I'll inform Mr. Haixin when I get back. You don't need to live in the old castle, you can go home after finishing your work every day."
"Thank you so much, Master Allen." Mei Li smiled happily.
With Alan's current status, it is easy to give Meili a sum of money. But he believed that it would make Meili happier than giving her a job. Self-reliance can best reflect a person's value. What Mei Li needs is not only money, but also needs to prove her worth, which can be seen from her statement that she doesn't want to be a burden to Willick.
"By the way, Master Allen, why did you come to town? Are you looking for Brother Willick?" Meili asked again.
Allen shook his head: "No, I gave Willick and the others a vacation, so they have to rest for a while. I'm here to find someone, Meili, do you know where the church is?"
A boy next to him raised his hand and shouted, "I know, I know."
Mei Li also suddenly realized: "So you came to find Father Miro, right? Master Allen also came to listen to the priest's sermon? Everyone said that the priest is a messenger of the gospel sent by God."
This time it was a big surprise for Allen.
It is unbelievable that Father Miro, who regards money as his life, has such an evaluation as a "messenger of the Gospel" in the small town of Levin.
Mei Li pushed the little boy: "Just let little George take you."
"Okay." Allen looked at the cute boy with freckles on his face: "Then please, George."
The little boy puffed out his chest: "Put it on me."
When they came to the door of the church, many residents were walking into the church one after another. After saying goodbye to the little boy, Alan entered the church alone. Levin's chapel is not big, so it can accommodate twenty or thirty people. Allen found a corner to sit down, and found that the church was full of seats, and there were even people standing at the door of the church, which surprised him.
A moment later, Father Miro came in through the side door of the pulpit. His appearance was quite different from what he saw in Heitie Town that day. He was wearing a white sacrificial robe and a holy belt with a purple background embroidered with golden crosses and other patterns. The messy hair was also meticulously combed, and the whole person walked to the podium radiantly, with a smile on his face, he opened his arms and said, "Good morning, brothers and sisters, today is also a day full of hope."
"Now, then, let us have our morning prayers."
After the morning prayer, Father Miro gave another sermon to the residents. It can be seen that he is a duck to water here in the small town of Lewin. After the 20-minute sermon, the residents looked at Miro with adoring eyes as if they had been brainwashed.
After the sermon, people left intermittently, and some even came up to hug Miro. Milo maintained a polite and kind appearance from beginning to end. The smile on the priest's face froze when the people were almost gone and saw Alan sitting alone. Then he reacted quickly, and after sending the last believer away, he did not close the door of the auditorium.
"Father Miro, it seems that you are doing well. Messenger of the Gospel, hey, you don't take gifts from believers in private, do you?" Allen said with a faint smile.
Milo said with a serious face: "There is absolutely 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 have a good life here. When I first came, Father Ollie was too old to preside over the affairs of the church, so I happened to take over. Two Years later, as you can see, Lewin's brothers and sisters like me very much."
"It would be a pity if this is the case. I plan to set up my own hunting group when I come back this time. At that time, I think the priest will be willing to join, right? After all, there is a shortage of military doctors in our team."
Father Miro's face changed slightly: "It's true that I have been a military doctor, but I seem to have mentioned that I am good at psychological trauma."
"Then the priest can also learn some knowledge of first aid in the field. The priest has stayed in the army. If you think about it, you can learn by analogy. The progress will definitely be very smooth. Don't worry, 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." Allen laughed.
