Then he looked at Calvin with some pity: "This must be your original residence. I'm really sorry. Judging from your appearance, it seems that you haven't been back for a long time."

"Yes, it has been twenty-three years." Calvin whispered in a somewhat distracted voice.

The middle-aged man showed a look of surprise, "That's no wonder. Then you may have to be mentally prepared, because the reason why I was able to buy this property at a low price was because more than ten years ago, Jishui City was surrounded by orcs.

It was even attacked once, so the trade in the city also suffered a devastating blow, many merchants went bankrupt, and many nobles were even killed by cruel orcs at that time."

Calvin couldn't help but stumbled when he heard this, his face turned pale, "How could this happen?"

Seeing Calvin's desperate look, the middle-aged man also showed a look of reluctance, "But you don't have to be too desperate. Our Binhai District is located at the innermost level. If old George was at home, this place would be the safest.

Maybe, he just had some financial problems and had to mortgage the property to the Xialan Chamber of Commerce. Do you have any acquaintances in Jishui City? It's best to ask again."

"By the way, mentor! The mentor must know!"

These words also reminded Calvin. He hurriedly climbed out of the fence with red eyes, and drove towards the castle area located on the hillside of Jishui Mountain, carrying Luo Jiali who was full of concern.

The Kapshui Magic Academy is located there.

But when he rushed to the academy and was stopped by the guard at the door, he got an answer from the other party that made him completely desperate.

His mentor, Mekevin Rodriguez, had died heroically during the defensive battle against the orcs in 18 years.

A series of blows left him with no courage to look for his fiancée Wei Na anymore. He was already unable to cope with more accidents in a short period of time.

Another quarter of an hour later, he and Luo Jiali finally drove to the northernmost city of death.

Although it is called the Dead City, it is actually a cemetery surrounded by walls and patrolled by guards on a regular basis.

Different from the gloomy name, this place is like a garden, with beautiful environment and open to the public. Residents of Kaishui City often use it as a picnic and gathering place.

However, it was still early in the morning, so there were not many people inside. After informing him of his intention, the guard solemnly led Calvin to his mentor's cemetery.

Looking at the familiar names and portraits on the tombstone, Calvin looked like an ordinary person who suddenly lost his faith in life. He slumped in front of the tomb with his hands on the tombstone, pressed his forehead against the tombstone, closed his eyes and sighed. For a moment, he was

Don't know where to go.

"Uncle, don't be sad. No matter what, you still have Luo Jiali."

The elf on the side looked at Calvin with a dejected face, and crystal water vapor appeared in his eyes.

"Well! Thank you, thank you, Luo Jiali, I want to be quiet for a while."

Calvin hugged Luo Jiali into his arms and leaned in front of his mentor's tombstone, falling into silence, as if falling asleep.

And Luo Jiali seemed to be dependent on Calvin, constantly rubbing her little head on Calvin's stubble-covered face.

I don’t know how long it took, but the surrounding area seemed to gradually become lively, and from time to time, prayers in memory could be heard.

Calvin vaguely remembered that today seemed to be the annual All Souls' Day memorial day.

At this moment, a group of chaotic footsteps came towards him. They must have been several people, but they suddenly froze as if by magic.

"Mystra, the goddess of magic! Is that Calvin? He actually came back from the Underdark alive?"

This is

The confused Calvin felt that the voice was somewhat familiar. It seemed to be a female classmate from the Magic Academy back then. What was her name?

I must be in a very embarrassed state now, haha.

"Vina, Vina! What's wrong with you?"

It was still the same voice, but the name she called out made Calvin suddenly open his eyes and look in the direction of the voice.

Then he saw two women and one man. He ignored the female classmate on the left who could not be named and the middle-aged man with wary eyes on the side, and then saw the one in the middle who was wearing a robe and wearing the [Arch Mage] Nebula badge on his chest.

woman.

Isn't it the figure that I have been dreaming about?

"Vina! I'm back"

Calvin stood up suddenly and put Luo Jiali on the ground. He wanted to get closer, but he was a little afraid that none of this was true.

But Wei Na's expression was completely different from what he imagined. This female mage who was still bright and charming after twenty-three years smiled at him.

There was no hugging and kissing after a long separation like in the drama, nor was there a breakup departure.

Instead, he generously walked closer, knelt down in front of Luo Jiali, touched the elf's smooth hair, and then looked up at Calvin, who was in a daze, and asked:

"Is this your daughter? She's so cute. What's her name?"

"Forehead"

Calvin's expression suddenly froze.

Wei Na seems to have misunderstood something.

However, Luo Jiali shouted enthusiastically:

"Hello, beautiful aunt, my name is Luo Jiali."

Wei Na's hand paused.

A gust of sea breeze came.
