The visitor was an old acquaintance.
The tall, middle-aged man with dark skin dressed like a fisherman, revealed a smile upon hearing Ian's greeting, walking into the shop with a bulging burlap sack in hand.
"It's Uncle Senan."
As he descended the stairs, Ian had already recognized the visitor by the Sand Armor Apprentice's sensitivity to footsteps on the ground.
But he still pretended to be surprised, supporting himself on the banister, "It's been so long, I thought that once Uncle Senan had your own deep-sea fishing boat, you'd be too lazy to come ashore again."
Senan was the fisherman who had rushed over first to try to save people on the day Ian's memories awoken, when he killed the priest and set the old house on fire.
After that, he even gave Ian a Magical Beast level salmon, which helped Ian regain his strength immediately.
Although he indeed had his own ulterior motives, bravely entering into the fire to save someone was truly out of sincerity, no matter the reason.
