Time rewinds to before Xia Li arrived, the location is in the restaurant at home, there is a knock on the door outside, open the door and find that it is the messenger who delivered the letter, Baker opened the letter, and took a quick look at the contents inside.

- Beck, we're back, can we come to the house?

There is only one sentence on the letter, and the final signature is Kuy Ajjet.

A smile appeared on Baker's face at the short words, he hadn't seen Cuy and Emily in a long time.

"Neil, you take care of the house, I'll go out. Then, Baker dropped the sentence and left, ignoring Neil's question behind him, and Baker walked out in a hurry.

After leaving the house, Baker called a carriage and pulled out a few copper coins, and asked the coachman to drive the carriage to take him to where he wanted to go.

The carriage drove to a luxurious mansion, which was in the middle of the deep seaport, slightly elevated, and the nearby streets were planted with various trees, which were a little dark even during the day. Due to the topography, the driver drove the carriage in the direction of a small steep slope, which was a little strenuous.

"I'm sorry, this horse is too young. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

This section of the road is groomed, the ground is flat, and there are no bumps. The road looks very clean because it is cleaned every day, and even the leaves that have fallen are only a few scattered.

After all, this is where the owner of the harbor lives, and there is no comparison with other streets.

Baker chatted with the coachman, and soon the carriage reached its destination, stopping at the door of the mansion.

After Baker got out of the car, he walked towards the gatekeeper and explained to the gatekeeper that he was a friend of the owner of the mansion, and the gatekeeper had long known that a guest named Baker would come, so after hearing Baker's name, he let Baker in.

The black iron door slowly opened, and quickly closed after Baker entered, and then, the gatekeeper walked with Baker for a while, guiding Master Aget to where Master Aget was, and then took his leave.

After a while, Baker found the reception room and saw Kuy in the reception room, who was wiping the table with a white cloth.

"I'm sorry, I didn't come out to greet you in person. ”

Baker watched as Cuy turned around, the blond-haired man hadn't changed much from when he had just graduated.

Cuy said, "I just came back here, and there is no one except the old servants of the Ajit family who have been guarding the gate for me, and there is no new servant who has not yet arrived, and I was thinking that you will come soon, so I will just wait here." ”

"It doesn't matter. Baker glanced around, a little helpless, "There's a lot of dust here, why don't you change places?" As soon as Baker entered, he found that countless dust was dancing in the sunlight, and the gray walls, the decorative paintings on the walls, the stone carvings placed in the corners, etc., were all covered with a layer of dust.

In my impression, Cuy is a guy who is not good at cleaning, maybe the other party wants to clean this place seriously, but there are too many places that need to be cleaned, and Baker sees that several places are half clean and half unclean.

The two walked out and came to the garden outside.

"You're going to live here when you come back this time, right? You've worked hard for so many years to make the harbor what it is now, to make it truly host to the Aquarium, the first peaceful and friendly town after the Aquarium set foot on land, and your hard work has not been in vain. Baker knew very well that Cuoy was doing this for his wife, Emily, the blue-haired and blue-eyed princess of the Aqua.

Baker was genuinely happy for Cuoy, but there was no joy on Cuoy's face.

"Cuy?"

"Won't you ask where Emily went?"

Baker noticed something strange in Cuoy's voice, and he had a vague bad premonition, "Hasn't Emily been with you all the time, and where is she?" Baker thought that Emily was the same as Cuoy, who had not taken care of this place for too long, and was busy cleaning the house. But now that he thinks about it, Baker feels that he has been misled, that Coy loves Emily so much that instead of spending his time cleaning the house alone, it is better to wander the streets together and get acquainted with some of the changes in the harbor that he has not been here for so long.

"It's just me, I'm back with Xia Li, two people. ”

Cuy looked sad and sad, "Emily, she's gone...... It's been several years and I haven't told you about it. ”

“…… Why?"

"I also want to ask myself, why...... Why did she die, why can't I protect her?"

"Cuoy, ...... you" Baker wanted to ask, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed back, and Kuy's expression was too sad, heartbroken to the point of despair, just like his original self.

When I learned that I had lost my magic, I had such a face, sad and even desperate. Baker's determination to adopt Neil at the time was one of the reasons, but of course, there were several others.

"Beck, if I'm not here, Charlie will ask you. ”

They walked under a large tree, and Kuy suddenly stopped, turned his head, and the shadow hung over his face, a little gloomy, for some reason, Baker could only think of the word gloomy, and only this word could describe Kuy now.

"Kuy, don't be stupid, you still have Xia Li, are you going to leave her?!"

Cuoy's eyes flickered over something, Baker couldn't see clearly, and by the time he noticed, it should have disappeared, if he stood in a bright spot. At this point, Cuy stepped forward and turned to another topic.

"Baker, do you know why I left the Empire?"

"Because of that Emily and her ......?" Baker didn't intend to get Kuy to take the conversation away, Emily was also his friend, and the cause of her death had to be clarified.

"I've received a secret order, and it's a rather secretive mission, you know about the disappearance of the alien years ago, though I don't know how much the temple knows about it. ”

"That matter, I might as well tell you now, the temple also intervened. Baker then added in his heart that it was because of that incident that the people of the Temple of the Four Directions suffered heavy losses, losing most of the knights.

The disappearance of aliens affects more than just one country, although the place of origin is the Rodi Pawa Empire, but the main impact is on alien races.

Most of the next dozens of cases have appeared here, and a few have appeared in other countries, which is the intelligence gathered by the Temple Branch, and even more than the Empire knows what is going on.

"I remember I reminded you at the time, not to mention that Emily is the princess of the Water Tribe, and you told me to be fully prepared, but why?"

"The secret mission I received was not to make the deep grid harbor a suitable place for the aquarium to live, but to infiltrate and investigate the secrets behind the disappearance of the aliens, I ...... I took advantage of Emily, so I later brought her to the Carranslan Empire, and she ...... because of it."

"I killed her......" Eventually, Kuy could no longer cry, and the shock-sounding fact filled Baker's mind, and Baker became angry.
