Safa did not immediately agree to Carden's invitation. He had a strange feeling, as if Carden's main purpose was not to come in search of power, but to win over people.

That statement was indeed heartwarming, but it was precisely this that made Safa realize that something was wrong. This is obviously not an impromptu idea, but more like a pre-prepared idea.

He looked at Carden carefully, but couldn't find anything wrong. Maybe he thought too much, so he gave a vague reply - when the time comes, I'll talk about it.

Carden agreed.

He still has a killer trick to use, so there is no need to rush. Just a moment of negligence, forgetting to remind the other party to listen to the voice of the magic. In the process of sorting out this place, he will look for an opportunity to wake up the other party again.

......

While Carden begins to draw on the remnants of the past, the Paul family is still trying to move forward. The difference in strength makes it impossible for them to traverse the wilderness and go straight to their goal like wizards.

Even along a well-planned route, some surprises befell them. Paul and Beth fell into a trance one after another, and it became more and more severe as they moved forward.

Joey wanted to rest for a while, but the two of them who fell into a trance accelerated their pace under the impetus of some force. Finally, one evening, the two of them went into the wilderness despite his persuasion.

It was then that Joey noticed that the two children seemed a little strange. He began to regret it, but there was no turning back, so he could only follow helplessly.

Now Joey had a vague feeling that the Great Wizard's words might have been to Paul.

When night falls, Paul and Beth, who are in a dream, will be babbling. Joey thought it was vague gibberish, only to realize that it might be a completely unfamiliar language.

Sometimes Paul and Beth in their sleep use these unfamiliar languages to converse and even argue. Joey, on the other hand, sat by the campfire with a gloomy face, gradually consumed by fear.

He thought about the price to be paid for gaining power, sweat, blood, and even the last thing he wanted to see was the loss of life. The purpose of his follow-up is actually based on this consideration, and he may be able to bear these things instead of them.

Joey thought about it a lot and was ready to sacrifice. It's just that all preparations based on mortals now seem to be in vain. In despair, he could only watch his children become strangers.

Although the route was changed and the safest and most walkable road was avoided, the road did not become difficult, and the speed of progress was not significantly affected. It is as if there is an invisible will that arranges everything for them, helping them avoid real dangers and potential dangers.

Walking through the wilderness and stepping into the overlapping mountains, Paul and Beth lost their minds. Their eyes became hollow, as if the old man had fallen into a memory, and he had returned to the distant past.

And so, mountain after mountain, until a lake came into view. It was also at that moment that Paul and Beth regained their senses.

Beth looked around in surprise, "Why are we here?"

Joey sighed, "yes, why are we here?" I wish you could explain it to me. ”

Paul closed his eyes and thought for a moment, "I had a dream and everything in the dream was unbelievable. The only thing that is true is Beth, and we are still together. ”

Beth nodded, "yes, still together, just after arguing for countless years." ”

Paul was a little embarrassed by this reply, and he tried to divert the subject: "What's here?"

"Don't you know? In our dreams, this is our home. ”

Joey sighed again and asked rhetorically, "Your home?"

Beth grabbed Joey's arm and shook it gently, "In a dream, just in a dream." ”

Joey shook his head, "In the past few years, you have been getting together less and more with Paul, so it is inevitable that you will be a little rusty. However, looking at you now, it seems that you have become old husbands and wives. ”

Joey let out a sigh of relief, "I should have been happy about this, but I couldn't help it anyway. Do you remember how you got here and how long it took to get here?"

Beth and Paul looked at each other, "I also want to ask you how you got us here." ”

"It's always been you, and I'm just trying to follow behind you. As much as I have always wanted to protect you in times of danger, I have never had the opportunity. You got here without any trouble, and then came to your senses.

How long? This is the destination, how long do you say it has been? But it doesn't matter, there's only one thing I'm most concerned about now - who are you?"

Beth sneered, "Dad, who else could I be?"

As he spoke, he set his eyes on Paul, waiting for his echo.

Paul thought quietly for a moment, "Uncle Joey, I don't know......"

Beth's eyes widened, "You-"

Paul waved his hand, "I know, I'm Paul." But the memory of the dream was so clear that I seemed more familiar with another name.

Don't you think so?"

Beth looked at her father, Joey, and fell silent.

Joey smiled bitterly and patted Beth's hand gently, "I know, you don't have to be embarrassed. It doesn't matter who you are, my intention is only to witness ......"

Beth suddenly clasped Joey's hand and repeated, "Dad, who else can I be? Whoever I am, this place is ours and can only be ours, right—Paul?"

Paul's face was cloudy, and he finally sighed, "Yes, Beth." ”
