He crossed his hands and began praying for the two of them.
After finishing, he bid farewell to Parker Kqi and walked along the path towards his yard.
As he passed by Aunt Marsi's house, the door was still closed.
He happened to see Siegert at his yard gate; Siegert seemed puzzled as to why the yard gate was open and was about to check if a thief had broken in.
"Siegert!"
Hearing a call from beside him, Siegert turned his head. His expression turned to one of pleasant surprise, and he quickly ran over to give Alka a tight hug.
"Why are you back? Long time no see! You seem taller, and definitely stronger."
"You too. How have you been?"
"How else could I be? It's no different than usual. Quick, tell me, have you had any good treasure hunting experiences during this time?" Siegert asked with an interested expression. Alka had been away for a year; he must have had many experiences.
Alka nodded. He stood at the yard gate and chatted with him for quite a while, until dusk fell.
