On the slave ship docked at the port of Silvermoon City, just after Levi left with Knight Commander Jero, two Silvermoon knights soon directed the porters at the dock to carry several large barrels of food to the ship and distributed it to the ship.

of refugees.

Although most of them are just unpalatable black bread, wheat porridge mixed with bran, corn kernels and some dried meat from unknown creatures.

But for the refugees who had been hungry and thirsty on the ship for a day or two, having hot food to satisfy their hunger was already a rare gift.

In addition, they had already heard about the Northland Farm before they were kidnapped, and most of them were already homeless. Therefore, they did not have any major objections to the arrangement of temporarily staying on the ship, and most of them had a somewhat hesitant look.

The rest of my life is filled with confusion and numbness.

Calvin randomly placed [Psychic Markers], which were not even called spells, in several corners, so that he could detect strange fluctuations in thoughts on the ship.

This kind of trick is of course useless against those mindless constructs, but he really doesn't believe that these days, when the church comes to search for people, it still has the luxury to use constructs!

As long as the person coming is an intelligent creature, Calvin doesn't have to worry about the other party not being attacked.

After doing this, Calvin came to the side of the boat, supported the railing with both hands, and looked at the bustling crowds in the city on the river bank, his eyes wandering, and he was lost in long-lasting memories.

He had been away from Jishui City for so long that the faces of his parents, mentor and his fiancée were somewhat blurred in his memory.

"Twenty-three years have passed. I wonder if my parents are still alive?"

'How is your tutor's health? How have the topics you studied over the years turned out?'

'And Vina'

Thinking of the girl with wavy golden hair, beautiful eyes as deep as the sea, and a beautiful smile, Calvin's face suddenly showed a hint of pain.

'Vina, if nothing else goes wrong, she should have married someone else long ago, right? After all, her father, who is the administrative officer of Jishui City, loves money to the core, haha.'

Perhaps during the long years in this dark land, he had experienced too many heartbreaking nights and had long accepted such a cruel fact.

So when I think back now, all I have left is regret and a touch of remembrance.

"Let's just go later. I'm not in a hurry for a day or two. When I go back this time, I must go to Golden Glory and have a good meal. I wonder if that pub is still open?"

Calvin finally calmed down his fluctuating emotions and began to think on the bright side.

Instead of continuing to feel useless and self-pitying, wouldn’t the memory of venison, the strange-flavored eel pie, the baked river crab in the shell, the various fragrant breads, the smoked Roze sausage and the nut cheese taste delicious?

And he is now rich himself!

No longer do you have to go to your stingy father to defraud you of tuition and fees on the grounds that the college requires you to buy blank scrolls or spell books.

If he wanted to, he could even buy the Golden Glory Tavern.

The rune scrolls that you were reluctant to buy in the past can be bought in bundles, and you can use them as toilet paper if you don't use them all.

Even in the Deep Water Peak Castle area, which had once daunted his father, he could buy a villa from a dilapidated noble and live the luxurious life of those nobles.

As for women, in a prosperous city like Gishui City where materialism prevails, as long as he shows off his current net worth a little bit, those money-worshiping women can line up from the Deepwater Peaks in the Castle District all the way along the Sword Coast coast to Baldur's Gate!

But for some reason, these things that could have made people's hearts swell once they imagined them are now within his reach. Not only can they not give him the slightest spiritual satisfaction, but they are corroding like the dark shadows of the Underdark.

His soul!

It made him so irritated that he felt like he was going crazy!

If possible, he would rather not have the money!

Can more money bring him back to the past?

What if I buy the golden light?

Wasn't his greatest pleasure in going to the tavern back then to enjoy the atmosphere of drinking and drinking in the tavern with a few classmates from the college, and peeking at the white thighs and round plumpness of the escort girls with a blushing face?

So what if you buy a villa in the castle area of ​​Deepwater Peak? Without the company of your loved ones, no matter how big your home is, you will only feel endless loneliness.

And no matter how many women there are, they can't compare to the Wei Na in his memory!

Because Wei Na is the only one who doesn't dislike that he is a poor student and that his family is just a middle-class businessman selling wine. She would rather endure her father's anger and worldly incomprehension and still make a marriage contract with him and accept the priest.

Blessings to the good girl.

A good girl who met him in the ivory tower of knowledge in the academy and truly understood and loved him.

They understand and support each other, and some conflicts in life can be resolved through communication.

The only time they had the most serious argument was when Calvin told the other party that he wanted to go to the Underdark to find spiritual knowledge.

Vina said he was crazy! Let him give up this dangerous idea as soon as possible.

Calvin's future as a mage was at an end at that time, and he might end up with a mage title of about 11th level in his life.

Full of obsession, he finally chose to leave without saying goodbye.

And that separation was twenty-three years

If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet my boss, this would have been a lifetime.

All kinds of timidity about being close to home, and all kinds of thoughts about gains and losses were entangled in his heart like bones, and he was almost going crazy with his thoughts.

What Calvin, who had not systematically studied psychic knowledge, did not know was that his mental state at this moment was extremely dangerous.

Because spiritual energy is originally a way to tap into one's own spiritual energy, and the power of the soul is the source of their mana.

If a negative mind dominates, he may be killed by a headshot on the spot. Even if he is not careful, his psychic energy may overflow to form [Psychic Explosion·Negative Energy], which may trap all creatures within a hundred feet.

Madness.

And his personality will probably change drastically from then on, becoming extreme, impulsive, irritable, stubborn and crazy!

"Ah!!!" Calvin covered his head that was about to burst and couldn't help but hit the wooden railing on the side of the ship!

Just when Calvin's spiritual threshold was about to burst due to this sudden turmoil of thoughts, he suddenly felt that his robe was being pulled by someone.

This made the negative energy in his mind seem to have an outlet. Calvin turned around suddenly and pointed to his side. The violent spiritual energy gathered at his fingertips, almost to the point of interfering with reality.

But his movements were also sudden.

Because the person holding his robe was a small figure.

It was a moon elf girl who was not even as tall as his waist.

There were still tears in the corners of her eyes, and she seemed a little afraid of Calvin's painful and ferocious face.

But she still mustered up the courage to take out a red fruit from her clothes. She seemed a little reluctant to let go, but she still raised her hands and handed it to Calvin, timidly saying:

"Uncle, don't be sad anymore. Luo Luojiali has lost all her family members just like you. But my mother once told me that no matter how difficult life is, we must have the courage to face tomorrow.

"Maybe it will be painful tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will be painful, but if you survive many, many days, sweet days will surely come again.

"This is the lingo my mother put into my pocket before she hid me. It's very sweet. This is the last one I kept in my pocket. I have been reluctant to eat it because I was afraid of finishing it.

Not many days later.

"But now, I have survived the most difficult days and no longer need it. I want to give it to you, uncle. Try it. It's very sweet, really."

Calvin took the red fruit blankly, brought it to his mouth with the encouragement of the elf girl, and took a bite.

Maybe the fruit had been stored for too long and had already begun to shriveled, very sour and astringent, just like his mood at the moment.

But after a long time, as the fruit was swallowed, a sweet feeling surged from his throat, as if the memories buried in his memory more than twenty years ago surged up.

He recalled that when he was studying in the academy, he overdrafted his living expenses for a month in order to buy a magic manual that he had long loved, and he ate black bread and cold drinks every day.

In the end, Vina couldn't stand it anymore, so she took him to her rental house and made him a lingo pie herself, which seemed to use this kind of fruit.

Her craftsmanship was really bad, and she added sugar regardless of cost. Although he thought it was extremely sweet, he was so hungry at the time that he really thought it was the most delicious thing in the world.

“Really sweet”

Calvin held the half-bitten fruit, tears fell uncontrollably from his face, and he showed a smile of relief in memory.

His dying soul seemed to have been saved.

It was a belated wait and return of twenty-three years.

No matter what the outcome was, he would go back to Jishui City to try to find them and meet them.

Even if it's just to say hello from a distance.

But the elf girl who handed him the ling fruit looked at Calvin, who suddenly burst into tears, and suddenly couldn't control her emotions:

"Uncle, please stop crying. If you continue to cry, Luo Jiali, Luo Jiali, can't help but cry. Mom and dad, Luo Jiali, miss you so much."

Calvin, who finally regained consciousness, seemed to have some impression of her.

She seemed to be the elf girl who had lost her parents when they first met.

Calvin instantly felt empathy, knelt down and held Luo Jiali in his arms:

"Luo Jiali, thank you."

"Well, uncle, Luo Jiali has obviously cried enough. She told herself that she can never cry again, but you still hurt me and I can't help it anymore." The elf cried so hard that snot bubbles came out of his nose,

It's all over Calvin's robe.

But Calvin didn't care at all, he kept apologizing, and then suddenly made a decision:

"Luo Jiali, my uncle may have lost all his relatives. How about you live with your uncle from now on?"

"Let's build a warm family again."
