Green Light Town.
The hotel and restaurant that Liam ran had now been handed over to Nick, the Baltic who had recommended himself as a guide to Allen. Nick's strength was lackluster, not even at the level of a scavenger, but because of his relationship with Allen, he was able to get along in Green Light Town. Not to mention anything else, the hotel and restaurant that Liam had given him when he left were enough to meet Nick's daily needs. As long as he wasn't too greedy, he would even have enough money to buy his own house in the wilderness in a few years.
Life was so simple and plain.
However, after the environment in the Forgotten Realm began to deteriorate, Nick's business was getting worse day by day. Because Green Light Town was almost at the edge of the Forgotten Realm, it was the least affected, but recently, residents had begun to leave the town. Nick did not leave. Apart from being unwilling to give up the hard-won foundation of the town, it was also because he had nowhere else to go. There was no place for him in the wilderness, even if he had been Allen's guide for a period of time.
Today, Nick woke up early and was busy cleaning up the restaurant for the opening of the restaurant. The worse the business was, the more active he was. That was Nick's way of doing business. Although this way of doing business did not improve the restaurant and hotel's business much, at least Nick would not feel like he had nothing to do.
Just as the hourglass pointed to the daytime time zone and a thin layer of sand had accumulated, someone opened the restaurant door and walked in. Nick was wiping the table when he heard the voice. Without turning his head, he shouted, "Welcome."
"Hey, Nick, aren't you going to leave, old man?" A chubby Baltic raised his hand. He had no eyeballs on his head, and his eyes were in the palm of his hand. This odd-looking fellow was so rare among the Balts that almost everyone in the town remembered him.
"Jesse, Jesse, Jesse." With a rag in his hand, Nick opened his arms and gave him a hug. "What would you like? For the sake of being the first to come, the first drink is free."
"That's great. Give me a big meal today."
"Oh? Have you made a fortune recently, Jesse? It's not like you to have a big meal early in the morning, "Nick said as he walked to the kitchen.
Jesse sat down in a chair and whispered, "Actually, I'm here to say goodbye. Nick, you may not be a good person, but your cooking is much better than Liam's. "
Nick stopped and was stunned for a few seconds before he turned around and forced a smile. "So this is your last visit?"
"I say, Nick, why don't you sell this place and open a new one in Gale City?"
"No, Jesse." Nick shook his head. "I've been in the Forgotten Land for twenty years, you know? The outside world no longer suits me. "
"But as you can see, people are leaving now. Before long, Green Light Town will only be an empty shell. "
"I don't think so," Nick insisted. "Sir Allen wouldn't let that happen."
"Come on, old Nick. His Majesty Allen doesn't have time to care about this. He's in Demonic Ring City. Do you think he'll appear in Green Light Town? "
Nick lifted his head and looked out the window. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the streets outside the window seemed to be brighter. Nick nodded and said, "Yes, he is now His Majesty Allen. But he used to live here. I have a feeling that he will do something for this. "
Jesse spread out his hands. "Alright, stubborn old thing. Hurry up and serve my dishes. I'll be on my way after I finish eating."
"I'll be right there."
When Nick turned around, he suddenly realized that the shadow beneath his feet was tilting and elongating. Jesse's soft cry came from behind him. Nick suddenly realized something and quickly turned around. He saw that the window was getting brighter and brighter, and finally, golden sunlight shone through the window.
That's right, it was sunlight!
Nick was stunned on the spot. Just as he said, he had been in Green Light Town for more than twenty years. He was even used to the polar night climate of the Forgotten Realm. To Nick, sunlight was like a familiar person in the depths of his memories, but his face was already blurred. He had forgotten the feeling of sunlight shining on his body. He had forgotten what the world looked like under the sun. But now, sunlight shone in from outside the window. It was not light, but sunlight!
"Hey, are you kidding me?" Jesse stood up and pounced on the window. He stretched out his open palm. Outside the window, people ran out of their houses one after another. The sun dispelled the cold of the past few days. It illuminated people's eyes and even their hearts. Not long after, the streets were filled with cheers. Jesse turned around. "How could this be? The sun actually appeared in the Forgotten Realm."
Nick laughed out loud. "Look, Jesse. I'm sure it was Lord Allen who did it. No, His Majesty Allen. Long live His Majesty! "
He ran out of the street and shouted loudly. Emotions were easily infectious, so the remaining residents of the town all shouted Allen's name.
At this moment, Allen, who was on the balcony of the castle, narrowed his eyes. Seeing sunlight in the Forgotten Realm was also an incredible experience for him. It was like a blind man seeing the light of day again, and his mood was much more relaxed. He looked over and saw Alice leaning against the stone railing on the edge of the balcony, looking at the distant valley. Under the sunlight, the gloom of the valley was fading away, and everything showed bright colors under the sunlight. Alice combed her hair that had been blown away by the wind and closed her eyes with a look of enjoyment.
"Is that okay?" Allen walked to her side and put his hands on the stone railing. "If I'm not mistaken, the special weather of the Forgotten Realm is to protect the Black Gate of Canon, right?"
"Indeed. Even now, that side is still under protection." Alice pointed in the direction of the Black Gate.
Sure enough, behind the Secluded Valley, the second half of the Forgotten Realm was still shrouded in darkness. Alice said, "I just removed some of the protection. Besides, it's been a long time since I've been exposed to the sun. It feels pretty good."
"I'm very happy that you think so, so what's your plan next?"
"First, I'll walk around and see what the world has become. Then, I'll come back here and live for another few decades before going to sleep." Alice said indifferently, "I'll continue to wait, waiting for the person the creator mentioned to come. After handing over the Black Gate of Canon to him, I'll have completed my mission. I think I can have a good sleep then, right? "
"Sounds like a good plan."
"What about you?" Alice asked.
Allen looked at the sky. From here, he could vaguely see the outline of a planet. "I came to Agares to build my own force, a force that can guarantee my freedom and not be interfered with. Now that I've done it, I should be like you. I'll return to my homeland and see some familiar faces before making any plans. "
"Then you have to worry." Alice said, but she didn't say what to worry about.
Allen nodded, and the two of them silently enjoyed the sun and blue sky.
After staying in the Forgotten Realm for two days, Allen returned to Demonic Ring City. The Black Gate swarm released by Alice had completely withdrawn. As compensation, Alice gave Allen a resource-rich land on the basis of Death Valley. Of course, Allen gave this land to Mitinas as a resource to expand the Burning Legion. Right now, Allen didn't want to expose the strength of the Burning Legion, so it was a good choice to stay in the Forgotten Realm to develop. However, this matter couldn't last long, so Allen started to think about those ownerless wastelands. Now was a good time. The wastelands and the Forgotten Realm south of Mokedan had already settled down, so there would be no worries. In addition, Dobia had signed a truce agreement with the Demonic Shadow Kingdom, so he could take advantage of this opportunity to develop those gray areas. In the end, although Allen had a large family and business, the Demonic Shadow Kingdom was a gift from Sbernak. Allen's foundation in this empire was limited, and now that his combat strength was not at the Sovereign Stage, it was difficult for him to suppress all the voices.
Therefore, developing towards the gray area, apart from providing more resources, was also leaving a way out for himself.
After returning to Demonic Ring City, Allen met with a few generals and asked Lamer to cooperate with Mokedan to increase the development of the Dark Gorge and use the Black Gorge as a springboard to continue deeper into the wilderness. Lamer proposed to publicly issue a bounty to the adventurers and explorers of the empire. As long as they brought back valuable information, they could be evaluated and given the corresponding reward. Allen completely agreed with this proposal.
On the other hand, Davelyn was in charge of the Eastern Front Furnace City. Although Dobia had now announced a truce, the word integrity had never been in the dictionary of the Barbarians. Only enough strength was the foundation of everything. Allen did not want to underestimate his enemy because of the truce agreement and give Dobia some potential opportunities.
Apart from that, there were some matters in the empire that needed Allen to personally deal with. These matters had all been screened by Lamer. Even so, a day had passed by the time Allen had finished dealing with them. Finally, Lamer reported something else to Allen.
"Resistance organization?" Allen narrowed his eyes. "To think that such an organization would appear so quickly. It seems that I don\'t have enough prestige in many of the empire\'s people."
Lamer said, "In time, these idiots will discover that going against His Majesty is a dead end."
Allen didn\'t comment on this flattery. He went straight to the point, "Do you know who they are?"
"It\'s just a bunch of guys who want to get lucky." Lamer said, "I\'ve already checked. The leaders and the upper echelons of the organization are basically the remnants of the three families wiped out by His Majesty. Taking advantage of the fall of many cities on the southern front not long ago, they suddenly emerged and pointed their spear at His Majesty. Now they\'ve forcibly occupied the fallen Wales Ridge and Earthdragon Castle, wanting to use them as strongholds to develop forces against His Majesty. "
"Wales Ridge? Earthdragon Castle? "Allen sat on the throne and said," I seem to remember that the empire has troops in these two places. "
"Yes, Your Majesty. But after the withdrawal of the insects, our troops were either driven away or instigated. Many wars had broken out in these two places before you returned. " Lamer said, "My suggestion is to suppress them directly by force. Take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out the remnants of the three families in one fell swoop."
"Indeed. Then I\'ll leave this matter to you, General Lamer."
