Allen gently picked up Annie and put her on a wooden wheelchair.
It was the most he had thought about in days, aside from the magic potions. He drew drawings and found a craftsman to build it. He had planned to go back to the town to give Annie a surprise when she was lying on the bed, but he didn't expect her to come by herself.
Annie looked at it curiously. She had been in bed for a long time, so it was inconvenient for her to walk, she needed to take cars when out.
So she didn't bother Allen even if she really wanted to go out.
"Let's go. Princess Sia just invited you to dinner." Allen said with a smile.
"Princess Sia invited...me?"
Annie was a little confused and pointed at herself with her fair finger.
"Maybe Princess Sia has known the cause of your illness and sympathized with you." Allen sighed.
A group of people walked towards the castellan mansion along with the wheels of the wheelchair.
As they had greeted each other in advance, no blind guard was stopping them. The guard last time was also missing. Maybe it was an actor specially prepared by Kenan. Allen thought maliciously.
Led by the knight, the three soon saw Princess Sia basking in the sun in the garden.
Long golden hair bathed in the sun, the girl smiled gently and peacefully.
Allen pretended to be innocent for a while. The temperament of Princess Sia was similar to that of Annie.
"Are you knight Allen?"
The girl's voice was as beautiful as a lark.
"Although I'm not a knight, I should be the one without the second Allen." Allen shrugged.
Princess Sia chuckled, covering her mouth.
"I don't think I'm that funny."
"I'm sorry. My father often mentioned you to me."
"That can't be good" Allen whispered.
"What did you say?" Princess Sia asked curiously.
"Oh, what castellan Will talked about me?"
"He said you were a very powerful person."
"I'm flattered."
"But you are too sophisticated, even a little slippery."
Allen's mind went blank. It would be more appropriate to hear three crows screaming at this time.
The three women chuckled.
In an instant, the three of them stood together and their relationship went further.
"Is this Annie?" Sia smiled at Annie.
Annie was a little nervous.
"Princess Sia is so beautiful..."
"So is Annie..."
"Oh, I forgot to introduce her to you. This is Neve. She has been taking care of me these days."
"Sister Neve, you are so kind..."
The three women started the topic inexplicably. Not long after, even Annie, who was the most reserved one, put down her reserve and burst into laughter.
Allen felt happy for her, but he was an outsider for no reason.
"Well, I'll go to castellan first."
"Wait a minute."
Allen tried to find an excuse to slip away but was stopped by Princess Sia.
"All the participants have started training at castellan mansion. I guess you didn't go there these days." Sia asked.
Allen scratched his head awkwardly. "I've been busy with other things recently and haven't gone to the training yet."
"The training will last for a long time. How are you going to deal with Annie?"
Sia looked at Allen seriously.
Her blue eyes were as clear and magnificent as the sea.
Allen felt a little embarrassed. What happened in the past two days told him that he could barely protect himself. If it weren't for Winnie, he would still be trapped in the magic array.
But when Allen saw the smile at the corners of Sia's mouth, he immediately realized what had happened.
"Princess Sia, do you have any good suggestions?"
"How about letting Annie stay here with me? Then you can rest assured to train. And you don't have to worry about safety. With me, she won't be bored." Sia said with a smile.
You're not bored, aren't you?
Allen suddenly thought of this, but he didn't say it out. Annie was indeed lonely in bed every day.
He felt relieved to have someone accompany her.
"That's it. I don't know what else Princess Sia wants to say"
Allen added.
To her surprise, Princess Sia thought for a while and took out something from her body. It should be a bamboo tube with a smooth surface as if it had been polished for a long time.
"Here you are. Don't look down upon it. You can pull it away at a critical moment. The airwaves produced by the explosion can push people away."
Sia said seriously.
Allen was stunned and looked at the bamboo tube still warm in his hand.
He came to his senses in an instant. It seemed that the news that Frank and Jett tried to murder him had been spread to the castellan mansion and happened to be heard by Princess Sia.
But he didn't know how to support himself on the surface, so he could only choose this way to remind himself.
It was really...
A kind-hearted princess.
Sia was confused by Allen's sudden laughter, but he didn't answer anything no matter how many questions she asked him.
When Allen just took a few steps forward, he ran into Kenan who was looking for him in a hurry.
"By the way, where have you been?"
"I just came from Princess Sia. What's wrong?"
Allen asked calmly.
"The other contestants have been trained for a long time, but you have been nowhere to be found." Kenan complained.
"It's okay. I'm back."
Allen smiled.
"Forget it. It's none of my business. Let's go to see castellan first." Kenan took Allen to the castellan mansion in a hurry.
Castellan was still the same, calmly sitting on top, no one knew what he was scheming.
"I'm sorry. I have a lot of things to deal with recently, so I didn't have time to participate in the training." Allen apologized.
At the same time, he wanted to test castellan Will's attitude towards Brander.
Will said calmly, "It's okay. As long as you can take part in the competition, it's a good thing. It's just a few days late. But you have to make up for the training by yourself, or others may be dissatisfied with you."
Will didn't blame Allen. Instead, he said something very considerate. If Allen didn't know him well, he would think Will was his elder.
It was you who were discontent with me...
Allen complained secretly.
"What exactly is the training content?"
Hearing Allen's question, castellan became serious.
"Actual combat is the best way to stimulate your potential, and you are all the strongest people in the city. I can't find you a suitable teacher, so I can only let you fight against beasts."
"Is the actual combat to hunt and kill beasts?"
"Yes, the training is to go into the Egleson to hunt monsters, and the amount of training is up to you. It is safe to challenge weak monsters, but it cannot have the effect of training, to challenge strong monsters, if you're not careful, your lives could be at stake, and that's up to you to decide."
Will said in a low voice.
Allen was speechless. It was just sinking or swimming...
"Of course, if you meet gray wolf beasts, you'd better bring them back as soon as possible. You know that Sia needs gray wolves to treat her disease..." Will suddenly said.
"This is your main purpose, isn't it?"
Because of this, Allen felt that everything in front of him was foreshadowing. As for whether this training was like selling dog meat as mutton or not, he still had to consider.
"How long have they been in there?"
Allen suddenly asked.
"Two days." Roger, who had been silent all the time, said.
He was scared by Allen last time.
He was afraid of being punched again.
Now he still felt a dull pain in his chest.
"Then I'll leave now. I should be able to catch up with them."
"Take this with you."
Roger threw something to him. Allen grabbed it in his hand quickly. Judging from the touch, it should be a stone.
It was a crystal green stone.
"This is a magic gem. It can help you judge the position and state of your teammates."
Said Roger.
Allen nodded his head. After all, the Egleson was under the control of the beasts, so it was not easy to send messages as outside does.
With such a treasure, he could solve a lot of trouble.
"How does it work?"
"If the gem is bright, it means that you are very close to your teammates. If the gem turns red, it means that your teammates are in a coma or...dead." Roger said the last word seriously.
Allen raised his eyebrows.
Be noncommittal.
Now he had nothing to worry about, so he took the gem and went straight on his way.
