This was because the experienced Grandpa Leo had judged that after legally obtaining the Garliot family's iron mine, the remaining members of the Garliot family had lost their value and were not worthy of the enemy's attention.
Moreover, even if they belonged to the Tulip Alliance, the nobles of the Eliya Kingdom did not have the power to search for him in Faletis, which was the strongest kingdom in the alliance.
Therefore, after Elvin and the old butler Leo settled in the small town of Leopold in Faletis, they did not change their name except for getting rid of some things that were related to their original noble identity.
From the age of ten to fifteen, the five years of stable life proved that the name Elvin Garliot did not bring him any trouble.
Probably aware that his state was easy to be misunderstood, Gör stared into Elvin's black eyes and sighed as if he was reminiscing.
"Probably no one has ever told you that you look more like your mother when you grow up!"
Without the name and family crest, even if he saw Elvin outside, Gör would not have any association. After all, there were many people with the same name and surname, and many people looked alike. But at this moment, the more Gör looked at Elvin's face, the more he saw the traces of his good friend and his wife.
"What did you say?"
Seeing that Elvin was slightly stunned and did not react at all, Gör, who was not good at expressing his feelings, stopped talking nonsense.
"Take this!"
A white light exploded in the bedroom. Gör suddenly drew his sword. His tall and strong body was like a small boat lightly crossing the water. The long sword in his hand was aimed at Elvin's left shoulder.
[Sword Form – Floating Boat]
The ingrained sword instinct made Elvin's body slide back automatically when he was distracted.
[Sword Form – Floating Boat]
The same move without the slightest trace of smoke and fire. A small boat drifted with the current and easily dodged the attack. When he retreated to the door, he had already jumped up lightly and switched positions with Gör, but the distance between the two did not change at all.
The corners of Gör's mouth curled up in a smile. After this sword strike, the last trace of uncertainty in his heart quietly dissipated.
Names could be the same, appearances could be similar, and even the coat of arms of nobles could be faked. However, the White Sail Sword Technique, which had already reached Proficient Level, was the strongest proof.
He was the son of his old friend, Forman, and also his nephew, Elvin Garrett!
On the other hand, Elvin looked surprised. The familiar sword moves had evoked memories that had been buried deep in his heart.
"You are …"
To a teenager in his growth stage, the changes in his appearance over the past five years could even be said to be at the level of plastic surgery. However, to an adult like Garl, there was not much change.
Even the distance between the two countries was not an obstacle for a naval captain. As a good friend of Elvin's father, Froman Garriott, Gör would visit the Garriott family manor at least once a year.
In fact, Elvin had seen Gör more than once. The last time was five years ago, at Forman's funeral. Not long after that was the night of blood and fire.
Therefore, even if Elvin was still very young and Gör did not stay for long, Elvin still had an impression of this Uncle Gör who always brought him gifts.
Although the impression of the gifts was deeper than his own, Elvin, who had not awakened the memories of his previous life, was still a real child. What could he ask for?
Under Gör's expectant gaze, Elvin finally connected the inexplicable sense of familiarity and slowly said the words he had been waiting to hear, "Uncle … Gör!"
"Pa!" Gör excitedly clapped his hands and was so happy that he almost jumped up.
"Wait a minute, tell me, are the starfish-shaped black spots on Katie's left butt or right butt?"
Elvin, who was now a little confused, did not understand the situation. He had chosen the path of joining the army after careful consideration, and just so happened to join the Third Fleet, which was closest to home. After the recruit training, he was assigned to the warship of his father's old friend?
Caught in the mysterious spider web called fate, Elvin subconsciously wanted to struggle again.
He did not expect Gör to throw himself to his side, a pair of strong arms hugging him tightly, patting him hard on the shoulder, and said with some amusement, "Katie is a pure black little mare, your birthday present when you were eight years old. The starfish-shaped black spots might be on her cute little head."
"Welcome home! Little Elvin! "
.....
When the two of them sat face to face at the dining table in the captain's cabin, the table was gradually filled with all kinds of delicacies that Gör had specially ordered the sailors to pack from the shore. Elvin's head was still a little dizzy.
The last time he ate in the captain's cabin was with Captain Joseph on the Yellow Swan, but this time, Elvin was not as free and easy as before. It could be because of the sudden change, or because of the relationship between the two of them, or even because of the sudden change in their relationship.
Not used to this Uncle Gör's enthusiasm, Elvin felt that he needed some time to adjust. He pulled at his collar in a way that did not conform to social etiquette, and drank the sweet wine in front of him in one gulp.
However, because he had never drunk alcohol in his life, he could not help but cough twice.
"Cough … Cough …"
Unexpectedly, he had successfully found his good friend's son, which made Gör's mood extremely good. Perhaps only the time when he received the news of his son's birth at sea could compare to this. Now that he loved Elvin, he liked him no matter how he looked at him, and did not care about his small lack of manners.
"Oh right, little Elvin, I received news that Blackstone Town was attacked and taken over by bandits. I was delayed for a few days because of a mission.
When I arrived, the manager of Count Wright's family, who took over the town, said that they had confirmed that all of you were killed and collected your bodies. What's going on? Where are Anita and Steward Leo? "
Gör poured another glass of wine for Elvin, he was very concerned about what happened back then.
"Oh, is that what they said to the outside world?" A cold smile appeared on Elvin's young face.
That night when the bandits attacked the town, Grandpa Leo was surrounded by two official Knights of the same rank. Even though he managed to escape with Elvin in the end, he still suffered irreversible injuries.
It was obvious that there were no Knight level powerhouses among normal bandits. And two of them at the same time?
Now it seemed that Count Wright, who had obtained the huge iron ore in Blackstone Town, was a major suspect. If he did not fake the bodies of Lucien and Anita, it might be a third party who did not know about it. But now it seemed that there was a high probability that he was the mastermind behind it, and he did not hide it at all!
What bandits? It was just a self-directed and self-staged show!
There was nothing to hide about these things and his own speculation. Elvin told Gör little by little how he was separated from his sister Anita, settled down in Leopold, and how Grandpa Leo died of serious injuries.
What Elvin did not know was that the old butler actually knew that Gör served in the Faletis Navy. Even the letters between Furman and Gör were handled by Leo. But he had lost his sister, and he did not dare to trust anyone.
After all, not many people knew about the situation of the iron ore, and not many people would not be tempted by the millions of gold lions. Even Furman's best friend could not completely rule out the possibility of betrayal.
At that time, the father and son were not desperate. Leo would rather be cautious than regret for the rest of his life.
However, unlike the old butler who was cautious, Elvin had a digital vision. He could observe breathing, heartbeat, subtle changes in eyes and emotions, which was much better than a lie detector. Also, there was a portrait of his father hanging on the wall next to him. Elvin was very sure that Uncle Gör was trustworthy.
After all, even the most vicious villains would not hang the portraits of their victims in front of them all the time unless they were born psychopaths.
"I'm sorry, son!" Although Elvin said it casually, Gör could imagine how dangerous and dangerous the situation was at that time.
As for why Leo, who knew his address and the fleet, did not come to him directly, Gör did not ask. It seemed that there was a tacit understanding between them. Whether Leo was afraid of involving him, or he was cautious when he was in trouble, it was all in the past. Nothing mattered anymore.
"I'll find a way to find Anita. She was a real genius. The last time I saw her, she was almost at the peak of the trainee Knight. She will be fine."
"Yes, she will be fine."
The two men, one old and one young, were not the talkative type. For a moment, the atmosphere was quiet.
Ka … Ka …
Only the sound of knives and forks sliding on the plate could be heard.
"Come, let's drink!" Gör never knew how to comfort people. He was stationed at sea all year round and did not even have much time to spend with his son. He did not know how to get along with the younger generation like Elvin. Now, this was the only way he knew.
Elvin smiled and also raised his glass, clinking it with Gör's.
After so long, Elvin was no longer immersed in the past. Only by looking forward would there be hope. The enemy was there, and Elvin was not stupid enough to fight a hopeless battle.
However, he firmly believed that Anita must be somewhere in the world, waiting to reunite with him.
His career in the Navy had a good start. Now, what he needed to do was to become stronger! Keep getting stronger!
After drinking the wine in the glass, Gör looked at Elvin and hesitated. "Elvin, do you have any plans for the future?"
"What? It's my first day as an official Navy member. Is the captain going to kick me off the ship? " After reminiscing about the past together, the uncle and nephew had become familiar with each other. Elvin made a little joke.
"Hahaha, you kid! Sure enough, you're in the same vein as Forman. You're bold enough to talk to your captain on the first day as a recruit! "
Obviously, this way of talking made Gör feel more comfortable. In addition to the identity of the son of an old friend, he also appreciated Elvin. He was not the Army Knight Regiment or the Musketeers who followed the rules. As a Navy member, he had to have such bold courage and adaptability.
"You don't want to be an explorer anymore?" Gör joked.
Every Gör was a brave explorer. This sentence was even written into the family motto, and Gör knew it clearly.
"Be a good Navy first!" With a chuckle, Elvin said.
