Ten kilometres west of the lake lies a two-story farmhouse surrounded by greenery and a variety of orchards, and a warehouse for storing dried fruit.

Long Ge flew at a lower speed than before, because she was holding an old woman who didn't seem to be able to withstand extreme speed, but she enthusiastically introduced her home to Long Ge.

"The orchard that my husband took care of before his death, those fruits are very special species, and they will only grow in this hill, so after my husband left, I cherished the orchard even more, and I have been taking care of it alone for a long time, and sometimes my son who returns from adventure will also run it with me," Sarina said in a sighing tone, "After the fruit is ripe, we will carry it to the nearest castle or town to sell, because they are all types that are not available in the local market, so the income is good, ha~ It is still not as much as the entrusted bounty and treasure collected by Allen on an adventure." ”

Arriving at the open space in front of the house, Long Ge slowly landed and put Sarina down smoothly.

Although Sarina was old, she did not hesitate when she got off the ground, and she also took the initiative to jump down and stand firm, which made Long Ge wonder if it was not her first flight.

At first, when he was carrying Xia Zuo through the sky from behind, he felt that he was not even breathing, and although there was no sound of heartbeat, it was obvious that he was in an extremely nervous state.

And the old woman didn't have it at all.

Sarina landed on her knees slightly, then stood up straight and dusted off her dust—mostly from her previous journey to the Lake of Tranquility.

"I'm going to prepare food for Xia Zuo," Long Ge folded his wings and looked around with a demanding look, "You seem to have a lot to eat." ”

"Take as much as you want." Sarina seemed to be a little enthusiastic and urged to her, and then turned her eyes down sadly, "I don't know how my child is, I really hope he is safe." ”

"Okay, I'll take two portions of the average human diet." Long Ge smiled happily.

Even though Xia Zuo and she could eat almost infinitely, she still put herself in the shoes of the old woman in front of her, and it was not appropriate to take too much.

"You say your son is a swordsman?" Long Ge suddenly remembered the reason why the old woman said to go to the forest full of monsters, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Yes, he is a young man with excellent swordsmanship, and the adventurers' guild describe him in this way, and it is because of this that he is favored by the old wizard of the island in the middle of the lake, I heard that the old wizard used to serve in the royal palace, maybe he wanted to recommend my son to the royal capital, and then teach him some witchcraft by the way... It's been two months since I went this time. Sarina said worriedly.

"In that case, why do you have to find it yourself, and wait for him to come back? There are a lot of monsters there, you are such a weak Terran, and you are still very old," Long Ge revealed a reproachful tone, "He is not a child, he hasn't been away from home for more than two months before?" ”

"Of course there is, but... He had never been gone for so long, without saying a word," said Sarina, with a sad face, the wrinkles of aging more dense than before, "he would tell me before he left, or he would be far away, and in half a month he would send back a letter with a pais, and this time, nothing." ”

"If so, indeed, there may be some trouble." Long Ge poked his chin, and his attention to the delicious fruits around him was completely diverted to the conversation with the old woman.

"What's more, I had a nightmare," Sarina said excitedly, as if she had some extremely bad memory, "I dreamed that Alan was trapped in the lake and called out to me for help... I had to go alone into the woods, vowing to find him, and when my husband was gone, there was no one left to help me. ”

"Then you have met the right person~" Long Ge stood up straight and hugged his arms proudly, "Xia Zuo is very powerful, there is nothing he can't do." ”

"Really?" Sarina raised her eyebrows, "He's a veteran union adventurer?" ”

Sarina can only think of an adventurer who solves problems for the client and does everything.

"What guild adventurers?" Long Ge scratched her face, there seemed to be no such thing in her active era, "I only know that Xia Zuo is a very powerful magician, even the country of the human race can't defeat him, your son, he will definitely be brought back." ”

Long Ge's encouraging words made Sarina's eyes shine with hope even more.

"You're a very powerful magician," Jarvis praised Xia Zuo with the same words at this moment, "You're not very old, but you can use the magic you just showed to perfection, you must be a genius too, right?" ”

"Also?" When Xia Zuo glanced at him, his eyebrows were high and lower.

"Of course," Jarvis hesitated, spreading his hands, "I'm comparing you more to my mentor Sangilf, who is known to be a genius magician. ”

"Where's Sangilf? I have something I want to ask him. Xia Zuo asked bluntly.

"Unfortunately, the Mentor isn't home right now," Jarves' face seemed to suppress a sly smile.

"How long will it take to get back?"

“... I'll be back in a moment," said Jarvis, suddenly cheerfully, "and though you didn't come by chance, it was only a little bit of a coincidence—a little early. ”

"Really? Then I'll wait for him. Although he couldn't guess what the magician was thinking in front of him, Xia Zuo still wanted to meet Sangilf, the sooner the better... The man in front of him, who claimed to be his disciple, was able to fly freely without a staff, which was not so well understood by the Minister of Magic, Palmer, who only happened to fly smoothly with a staff in his hand.

"No problem, why don't you follow me into the castle," Jarvis stepped back and made an inviting gesture, "I can prepare some drinks for you, there are good southland coffee beans in the castle, they should have been collected by the mentor, would you like to taste them with me?" ”

"I'm interested, thank you." Xia Zuo nodded, naturally he should go to the house and sit and wait.

The two of them walked together to the closed gate of Castle Black, and with a wave of his hand, Jarvis created an invisible force to push the gate open. There are many magic that can produce this invisible power, and Xia Zuo can't judge it by this simple action - no spells, no names, the more brief and casual it is, the more it shows Jarvis's proficiency in magic, obviously he looks like a very young guy, but Xia Zuo's sense of magical talent is far greater than that of Palmer and Grevelde.

You should be the Minister of Magic of this country, Xia Zuo wanted to say this to him, but only smiled silently.

The door is open, revealing a neatly and solemnly arranged, and very wide one-floor hall, only neat, not neat, dust, cobwebs, visible in many places.

Entering the hall and walking down the black carpet where the red couch stretched to the end, Jarvis led the way, clearly allowing himself to sit on the couch and wait.

"I'm sorry, but I haven't used the seat for a long time." Jarvis snapped his fingers, and the dust on the couch floated up, condensed into a solid sphere, and fell to the ground like a stone.

This time, the magic is more obvious, and it is a magic that manipulates particles but does not affect large objects - "Dust Kill", which is a high-level offensive magic that is difficult to resist, but it also has such a purpose.

It deepened Xia Zuo's impression of Alvis's magical talent.

"Please sit down~" Jarvis stood beside the sofa, rubbed his fingers against the fabric, observed the cleanliness, and nodded with satisfaction.

"I have a heart." Xia Zuo responded politely and stepped forward.

Suddenly, his footsteps froze in the middle of the carpet—where Jarvis had walked first.
