Sanji was at a loss of what to do. Elvin patted him on the shoulder and joked, "Did you forget?
"Did someone forget that you were the one who used Aunt Mary's name to stop me from joining the army?!"
"Hahaha, did I? I don't remember. "
Sanji scratched the back of his head and pretended to be dumb. He was as clumsy as he was a year ago.
After all.
Who would have thought that the young man who insisted on joining the Kingdom's navy, who asked him to gather information on the naval base and recruitment a year ago, would have grown to such an extent today?
"Oh yes, who is this?" After catching up, the estrangement from not seeing each other for a year gradually disappeared. Elvin finally had the chance to ask Sanji about the capable lady behind the counter.
"Hehe, this is my wife, Sharon. I told you about her before you left. Oh, her house is in the West District. You might not have met her before. "Sanji held his wife's hand and said proudly.
His shyness from before was nowhere to be seen.
'I know you're no longer single. You don't have to show off anymore …'
As Elvin cursed in his heart, he recalled that Sanji had told him before he joined the army that he was engaged to the tailor's daughter. Now that a year had passed, it was normal for them to be married.
"Oh yes!" Elvin ignored Sharon who pinched Sanji's waist out of shyness. He took out an exquisite silver pocket watch and handed it to Sanji with a smile.
"I wasn't in Leopold when you guys got married. Consider this a wedding gift to make up for it."
"This? This is too expensive. We can't accept it. " Even though Sanji had never owned a pocket watch of his own before, he knew the value of such a luxury item. He rejected it immediately.
"Take it. If you want to make potions of higher quality, time control is the key! Just take it as me investing in this potion shop. " In fact, Elvin no longer cared about this small shop. The annual profit was only a few dozen Gold Lions.
Because of the "Secret Treasure of the Sea" deal, he had obtained the Vanilla Manor in the Southern Continent. He still had a net profit of at least a thousand Gold Lions every year. Moreover, as a captain with real power, he could only earn more if he used his current status to plan properly.
He was just looking for a reason for Sanji to accept the gift.
It didn't matter if he could make money or not. Elvin just wanted this shop to continue to exist. This was where he and Grandpa Leo went through the most difficult times of their lives.
Using the identity of a potion shop, not an empty house!
"Then … Alright!" Although Sanji had agreed to accept this valuable gift, as the acting manager of this potion store, he insisted on handing over all the profits that Elvin had made during his absence for the past year.
Unable to dissuade the honest man, Elvin had no choice but to pocket a total of eighty-six gold lions and two silver bulls.
However, wasn't this the reason why he had chosen Sanji as the store manager back then?
.????????? i????? and???????????? of?????????? of????????????
Secondly, other than this gift, he had no intention of using his authority to change their lives. He did not give them anything out of the ordinary.
To ordinary people like them, sailing on the sea was nothing compared to the peace and happiness of living in a small city.
Ding Ling Ling!
The bell on the door rang again.
"Gleim?"
Elvin couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the people who came in. Today, he had come back and his most familiar friends were all here. The person who walked in was none other than his hunter friend, Gleim, who had fought alongside him.
"You are … Elvin?!"
Gleim hesitated for a moment. Perhaps it was because of his keen observation as a hunter, his reaction time was much shorter than Sanji's.
However, when he noticed Elvin's major uniform, he immediately stood at attention and saluted.
"Sir! Leopold City Guard Squad Number Three, Gleim, greets you! "
"At ease, soldier!"
After the strict military etiquette, Elvin noticed that Gleim was wearing the City Guard's uniform.
"Gleim, why did you join the City Guard? You're not a hunter anymore? "
Seeing Elvin's warm tone and his attitude towards Greem had not changed at all due to the difference in their status, Greem relaxed a little and smiled.
"My son is born. For the sake of my family, it's better to join the City Guard. His Lordship still admires me! "
"Congratulations!"
Sanji took out a package from behind the counter and handed it to Gleim. "This is the medicine for your injuries. Let me know if it's not enough."
"Okay, thanks, Sanji!" Gleim took the package and thanked Sanji.
"This is?" Elvin knew that the two of them were familiar with each other and often visited each other. He wondered what was going on today.
"Oh, Sanji is very business-minded. He's now taking over some of the City Guard's medicine supply. Although it's not a big amount, it's a good start.
Hehe, at least he's more attentive to the store than when you were here. "
Gleim joked with Elvin, probably because of the familiarity between friends.
Elvin's words made him feel a little ashamed. He had never thought that Elvin, who had tied himself to this pharmacy for the rest of his life, had only been "managing" it in the past.
Although the ordinary potion formula left by Leo's grandfather was quite effective, Elvin never thought of expanding the market and expanding the store. Compared to Sanji's hard work, he was not a qualified store manager.
"Hahaha …" Elvin could only laugh dryly to cover it up.
Ding Ling Ling —
Huh? What's going on today? People are coming to the store one after another. Why wasn't there such good business before?
The few people who were talking turned around at the same time. It was not a customer, but a familiar figure to the residents of the city.
"My Lord!" It was Sanji and his wife, Sharon.
"Sir!" Gleim bowed respectfully.
"Sir?" It was Elvin, whom he had met once before.
"Major Elvin, it's really you!"
Lord Nabri, who was wearing an exquisite noble hunting outfit, walked in with a longsword hanging by his waist. His eyes lit up the moment he saw Elvin.
As the chief officer of the City Guard of a small city, Lord Nabri and Elvin's ranks were actually similar, but the natural suppression of the Transcendent rank made him lower than Elvin.
Those who could become an official Knight before the age of 20 could be called geniuses, and those who could become an official Knight before the age of 30 could be called talents.
The age of 30 was a threshold, and it would be harder and harder to become a Transcendent with each passing year. After the age of 35, the body would start to decline, and the probability of breaking through again would be almost zero.
Lord Nabri, who was already 35 years old, had obviously given up on advancing. His strength had not changed at all compared to a year ago.
A year ago, Elvin was just an ordinary civilian kid, and in just a year, their statuses had almost reversed.
This made him sigh incessantly, and at the same time, his expression was a little complicated. However, with the self-restraint of a senior noble, he still controlled his emotions very well and said very enthusiastically,
"Haha, welcome home, Major Elvin! Lord Viscount heard that you have returned … "
After the City Hall staff who handed over the letter went back, he reported to them that the captain of the Roaring Conch had been replaced.
When he heard the staff report that the new captain's name was' Elvin Garrett ', Viscount Andrea, as a consul, thought of some rumors he had heard before and could not sit still.
Although he still found it hard to believe, but to show his respect, he immediately sent his capable subordinate, Lord Nabri, to invite Elvin, the new captain.
"Okay, this time I came back, I was going to visit Lord Viscount."
It just so happened that Elvin also wanted to visit Viscount Andrea, who had given him a recommendation letter, arranged a private passenger ship, and helped him a lot, so he gladly accepted his invitation.
"Please! Major Elvin! "
After bidding farewell to a few old friends, Elvin took Gary and the Viscount's luxurious carriage to the city hall.
