When he first stepped into the Vortex Town, Zhao Yu felt that this place had long been a matter of people.

Perhaps, the Vortex Town that once accompanied his growth was not the one he remembered. It's just that he still wants to find time to set foot here. After all, Uzumaki Town is the place where he grew up, and even if his memories become blurry, that familiar feeling is by no means a substitute.

Earlier, he asked Shen Mengting for a holiday, saying that he wanted to go back to his hometown to have a look, and Shen Mengting immediately agreed.

"Zhao Yu! I understand your feelings. Now the situation is no longer urgent, and the war is over. You really deserve a good rest. Responding lightly, Shen Mengting did not show any resistance.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu bowed and thanked him, "Ah! Thank you, Generalissimo! Thank you!"

"Zhao Yu! Now that the war is over, you don't have to be so restrained in Qingse City. You can just hand me Shen Mengting's name directly!"

"Ah...... How can this be ......?"

"There's no need to be so polite. Actually, I'd like to visit Vortex myself, because it's a place I've set foot in. Besides......" Shen Mengting sat at a desk, her gaze surrendering into the distance as if nothing, "our initial adventure ...... And it is there. ”

Seeing that Shen Mengting seemed to be sighing something, Zhao Yu was holding back a sour feeling in his heart.

"I'd love to see there, Vortex...... No, I should say that there are many small towns in our kingdom of Saran, and I would like to visit them myself. This time, we were able to win the Sauron Empire, thanks to those young people who had the courage to sign up for the army. So, I really want to go there. But ......"

Shen Mengting showed a hesitant look, and even her eyelids slowly sank, "As far as the current situation is concerned, although the war is over." But there are still a lot of negotiating issues to be resolved. I and several regent regents have to rush to talk to the officials of the Duchy of Elia and the Sauron Empire. So I'm not available lately either. Zhao Yu, you better go and go back quickly!"

You can see the look of loss on Shen Mengting's face. For a while, Zhao Yu didn't know how to respond.

Not long after, Shen Mengting turned her head and quickly glanced at Zhao Yu with a sharp gaze, "Zhao Yu! To be honest, you performed very well this time. I'm proud to have a friend like you!"

"Ahh......h

"Didn't you say you don't need to call me marshal!"

"But ......"

"Zhao Yu! I'm telling the truth. Judging from this adventure, I think my greatest credit is that I found you. At the same time, you are always by my side. I've often wondered if I had arrived at Kiyose Castle without you. I'm afraid...... I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat the enemy. Zhao Yu: I really thank you!"

"Ahh......h You're exaggerating!" Zhao Yu scratched the tip of his nose embarrassedly.

"I'm not exaggerating. I think the reason why I was able to return to Kiyose Castle safely in the first place and become the generalissimo of Saran. In the end, the complete victory over Sauron's invading army is because of your company. It's you who inspire me to move forward, and it's you and your partners who support me to never give up. Otherwise, I guess I'd already be gone. ”

"Marshal ......"

"Of course, it's not just you, but other people, such as Qian Hao, Jiang Jingwen, Shen Jun and Chen Tianhao! I thank you, and thank you to everyone around me. Speaking of this, Shen Mengting's face was crossed with a trace of sorrow.

Zhao Yu quickly swallowed saliva into his throat, and those two eyes were staring directly at Marshal Shen Mengting.

Shen Mengting seemed to have walked out of some meditative state, and after a quick throb of her body, she still returned to her former steady demeanor.

"Okay!Zhao Yu, you can go to Vortex Town safely! But I hope you can go early and return early, because you don't forget, you are also the general of the Saran Kingdom now. In the future, I still have a lot of things to ask you, and I will also focus on cultivating you. That's it!"

Under Shen Mengting's continuous nodding, Zhao Yu happily said goodbye to the way. So, after a few days of long travel, he came to this whirlpool town alone.

"I'm back again!" Zhao Yu, who was riding on horseback, stared straight at the gate of Vortex Town for a long time before slowly driving his horse into the town.

In fact, he was a little surprised by the good things about his trip. After all, this is the first time he has traveled alone, and Shen Mengting is also very relieved about it.

Perhaps, the truth is really as Shen Mengting said, Zhao Yu has grown up, and he is no longer the child who can only cry.

Today, Zhao Yu is a general of the Saran Kingdom, and he also has a magician staff with supreme strength.

When Zhao Yu came to the gate of the town, he immediately got off the horse. He hopes to feel every minute of this journey from his own pace.

Uzumaki has indeed changed a lot, significantly from when he left. Probably due to the war and the Sauron occupation, there is no shortage of dilapidated houses on both sides of the road.

However, the townspeople continued to walk as usual, and they also had the feeling that they had stepped out of the shadow of war.

"Although it has changed a lot, it is still the same in my bones!" Zhao Yu casually made a note of emotion and continued to walk on the roads in the interior of the town.

He was on this trip to do one thing, but after that, he wanted to take his time and feel for something else.

After walking for nearly half an hour, he saw the familiar downtown area. In the past, before the incident, he didn't know how many times he had traveled this road.

There are still a few vendors, some selling steamed buns, and some selling vegetables and meat. Of course, some calligraphy and paintings, jade utensils, etc. are also placed on the side of the road.

However, the most important thing for Zhao Yu to pay attention to is the stall that sells barbecue.

Zhao Yu used to want to taste the barbecue there, but he didn't have financial support, but now this situation no longer exists.

Zhao Yu led the horses to the hawker's beach, and without asking the price, he took out some copper coins to buy the skewers and barbecue that were placed on the table.

The vendor didn't seem to know Zhao Yu either, and after a few fluent handovers, he handed over a few skewers of barbecue to Zhao Yu.

After Zhao Yu took it, he pulled the horse and left. He tasted the kebabs as he walked, but in the end he didn't leak the extreme joy he should have. Perhaps, it is not only this town, but also his innocent heart.

A few skewers of barbecue were eaten at a real speed, and he didn't turn a few corners in the street, and all he had left was empty sticks in his hands.

Even though Zhao Yu's heart was still relatively lost, he didn't show it on his face. He still let out an indifferent expression, and continued to walk forward.

"Well, sometimes...... Obviously, I want to do something very much, and I wish it could be achieved quickly. But it's really time to realize it......" Zhao Yu slowly put his eyes on his hand, and now there was only an empty wooden stick left.

After a long time, he threw away the empty stick and continued to move forward with his head held high.

After walking for about a few minutes, he came to a building. This was the Vortex Town's proving ground, and it was the same place he had been setting foot in for two years.

"I wonder if there are any other changes here?" Zhao Yu looked directly at the buildings and walked inside.

He arrived at the playground of the proving ground, which was also used by the students to practice. He thought back to the scene here, and even remembered his companion again.

"Ah-zah! Ah-Liang! and...... Coach Li Yuan: How are you all?"

For some reason, a sour energy began to spread in Zhao Yu's chest, causing his eyes to become a little rosy. Those partners who came out of his mouth are no longer there.

Zhao Yu thought back to the past in this whirlpool town, and even infiltrated everything he had with his friends in his mind. He couldn't accept the fact that he couldn't enjoy such a comfortable life anymore, let alone face that his friends had already left.

Unconsciously, Zhao Yu seemed to have some feelings about to cry.

But suddenly, a few frolicking sounds in the distance attracted his attention. At this moment, a group of young people about eighteen or nineteen years old were walking towards the playground with swords in their hands. They talked and laughed, and many of them had extreme behaviors such as fighting each other.

In a trance, Zhao Yu still wanted to see himself a few years ago from among them.

"Ah......" Zhao Yu hurriedly led the horse and walked to the edge of the playground.

Those trial ground students didn't notice Zhao Yu either. As soon as they arrived at the playground, they began their own drills.

Zhao Yu had no intention of leaving immediately, he hid behind the trees and watched these students for a long, long time. Although there seems to be a cork in my heart, there is a sense of being unable to breathe. But he calmed himself down as quickly as he could, and looked at each of the students.

"Perhaps, the next Zhao Yu, Zha Hongliang and Liang Chaowei are among these people!" Zhao Yu quickly showed a helpless smile, and finally turned around and walked outside.

After leaving the proving ground, of course, you have to go to the most important place. The reason why he returned to Vortex this time was precisely to go to that place.

Zhao Yu wanted to go back to his home, and at the same time shouted the words 'I'm back'.

When he finally set foot on that destination, Zhao Yu quickly showed a sad face. He had lived in this tiled house for twenty years, but now there is only an empty house.

Zhao Yu parked his horse at the door, and he walked towards the door in small steps.

Without much thought, he pushed open the door and leaned in again, looking carefully. However, there is nothing promising about the scene inside. It's been a few months since the last time I set foot there, and it's a cold cobweb.

Zhao Yu didn't say a word, so he cleaned up the house by himself. While cleaning the house, he would also think about the past inside. The house has always been cleaned by his mother, but at this time, he can only do it himself.

It took him about half a day to clean the house. At this moment, he sat down on the bed in the room, tired.

At this moment, a sour eruption suddenly erupted in his heart, causing his tears to flow uncontrollably. He kept sobbing, as if he was about to cry.

"Mom!"

Zhao Yu still has that kind of thought, that is, just set aside the time a year ago, and nothing has happened. But this situation cannot happen, it is impossible to turn back time, and you can only taste the present.

However, Zhao Yu didn't feel how bad it was at the moment, at least he had a new partner, and Shen Mengting, who had been taking care of himself.

Zhao Yu quickly cheered up, and got up and walked towards the backyard.

Next to a fence in the backyard, a tombstone was erected. Zhao Yu's mother was bubbling under the tombstone, which also made Zhao Yu and this place forever connected.

Zhao Yu slowly walked to the tombstone and looked straight up.

It's not too early to say it's early, but it's not too late to say it's too late. Zhao Yu hadn't seen the time yet, and judging from the position of the sun on the top, it was probably just past three o'clock.

Zhao Yu approached the tombstone again, and stroked his left hand towards the tombstone.

"Mom! I'm back. He unconsciously showed a smile like a sorrowful roar, and his hand sped up the stroking, "You have seen it all! I have changed a lot now! I have a chance, and I have even become a general of the Kingdom of Saran." Now, I have the ability to survive on my own. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but burst into tears. His head was lowered, and the hand in his right hand that clenched the staff became tighter.

"I also have my own partner and I am very happy in life. So, you don't need to worry about me in heaven. I will assure you that I will live well and continue to carry the life you have given me...... Go ahead!"
