Chapter 550: Revisiting Hometown (Part 1)
Britannia Empire, Delands County, Avon City, outside the south gate.
Outside the north gate of this city very close to Pendragon, there stood a man and three women leading three horses.
"Su Cheng, is this the hometown of you, Carol, and Alan?"
"Hometown... This word is a bit inaccurate. This is not the hometown of Alan, Carol, and Alan. It's just the place where we three used to live together. Before I came to Pendragon and became a knight, Alan, Carol, and I lived here, in the home of a big businessman named Falk Windsor."
Looking at the familiar city gate in front of him, Su Cheng's eyes were full of nostalgia.
——When I was 14 years old, I followed Mr. Falk and entered Avon City from this gate, officially starting my life in this world. When I was 17 years old, I also left Avon City from this gate and started my journey. Now, I am 19 years old, and I have returned to Ivan City through this gate again...
Looking at the familiar gate in front of him, which has a special fate with him, Su Cheng felt mixed emotions in his heart.
Su Cheng returned to the place where he left with Carol and Alan two years ago - Ivan City.
Ivan City can actually be regarded as Su Cheng's hometown.
Five years ago, it was Falk who saved him from starving to death on the roadside, and brought him back to Ivan City and back to Falk's home.
A few days ago. When Su Cheng was officially preparing to return to the North, Alan suddenly said to him with a smile: "Brother, it's rare to come back to the imperial capital. How about we go to see Mr. Falk who we haven't seen for a long time?"
Alan's words immediately evoked Su Cheng's nostalgia.
Su Cheng still has deep feelings for Falk.
Falk is Su Cheng's savior. Not only did he save Su Cheng when he first came to this alien world, he also gave Su Cheng a place to live and food to eat, so that he could have a place to live in this alien world.
At the same time, to a certain extent, Falk has made a great contribution to Su Cheng's current achievements.
When Su Cheng left Falk's house, it was Falk who told Su Cheng that Gozewen was recruiting a military teacher for his granddaughter Ilsa.
It was from Falk's mouth that Su Cheng decided to go to Pendragon to try his luck.
It was also because of going to Pendragon to try his luck that Su Cheng had the opportunity to contact many big figures such as Jacob, Gozewen, and Iser.
It was because of his contact with Jacob and his appreciation that Su Cheng could successfully become a knight and then rise step by step in the imperial military.
If Falk had not told Su Cheng the important news that "Gozewen is recruiting military tactics teachers", there might not have been "Su Cheng, the 30th leader of the Knights of Michael and the highest person in charge of the Northern Front".
Mr. Falk's home is in Ivan City, which is not far from the imperial capital. If you ride a horse, you can go back and forth quickly.
Su Cheng, who was reminded of his nostalgia by Alan, decided to go back to Ivan City to see Mr. Falk, who had done him a great favor, before returning to the North.
Su Cheng asked his subordinates to continue to lead the parade troops back to the North, while he went to Ivan City to see his old friends first, and then rushed back to meet up with the main force after the visit.
Su Cheng was not alone when he returned to his "hometown" this time.
Alan, Carol, and Alyssa also followed Su Cheng to Ivan City.
Alan and Kailuoer, who had also received Falk's favor and lived in Ivan City for a period of time, needless to say. The reason why Alyssa went with them was purely to join in the fun.
After all, compared to boringly following the large army back to the North, it would definitely be more interesting to accompany Su Cheng to see their old friends.
"It feels like a very deserted town." Alyssa turned her head and said to Su Cheng.
"Because it is originally a small town." Su Cheng smiled, "It is not large in area and has a small population, so it is naturally deserted. Okay, let's go in quickly, I wonder if Mr. Falk is at home now..."
After saying that, Su Cheng pulled the reins in his hand, pulled Xiaobai in front of him, and then skillfully climbed on the horse.
Xiaobai was the white horse that Gozewen gave to Su Cheng when the "Summer Wind" offensive started last year.
I wanted to give him a majestic name, but I couldn't think of a good name after thinking about it, so I adopted Kailuoer's suggestion and named it "Xiaobai".
This good horse fell into Su Cheng's hands, which was unfortunate to some extent.
Su Cheng was a pure general with wisdom but no martial arts. He did not have the opportunity and ability to personally charge into battle with a gun.
In other words, Xiaobai was just a pure means of transportation in his hands.
It was a pity to let such a good horse be a means of transportation.
After riding on Xiaobai's back, Su Cheng stretched out a hand to Kailuo who was standing next to Xiaobai.
"Come on, Kailuo."
"Yes."
Kailuo stretched out her fair little hand, held Su Cheng's big hand, and then with Su Cheng's help, she climbed onto Xiaobai's back with some difficulty and sat behind Su Cheng.
Kailuo was the only one among the four who could not ride a horse.
So on the way back to Ivan City, Kailuo and Su Cheng both rode on the same horse - that is, Xiaobai.
Fortunately, Xiaobai is a rare horse, with endurance and explosive power that ordinary horses cannot match. Therefore, Xiaobai can hold on even if two people sit on its back.
After sitting on Xiaobai's back, Kailuo moved his body so that he could sit more comfortably.
He gently pinched Su Cheng's shirt with two hands to prevent himself from falling off the horse's back.
Looking at Kailuo, who sat on the same horse with Su Cheng, one behind and one in front, Alyssa curled her lips, and a complex look flashed in her eyes.
Quietly pulled the reins in her hand so that she could get closer to Su Cheng.
However, Su Cheng did not notice this little action of Alyssa.
At this time, Su Cheng's attention was all on the Ivan City in front of him.
——Is it two years since I left here... I wonder how Mr. Falk is doing now...
——When I left two years ago, I was still an ordinary young man who could be seen everywhere.
——When I came back two years later, I had become the 30th leader of the Knights of Michael, and one of the most powerful and prestigious knights in the entire empire...
——I really don't know what expressions Mr. Falk and those "guests" who were still staying in Mr. Falk's house would have when they saw me, who had become the leader of the Knights.
Su Cheng, with all kinds of emotions in his heart, suppressed the corners of his mouth that were slightly upturned due to anticipation, excitement and secret joy, and kicked the horse's belly, driving Xiaobai under his crotch, and walked towards the city of Aven and towards Falk's home...
