Chapter 542: Grandfather and Grandson
"Grandpa?!"
The two servants who had been guarding both sides of Firena before were surprised to see their master shouting grandpa to the "young man" in his early twenties in front of him.
Although in this other world, people can increase their lifespan and indirectly maintain their appearance after breaking through to a certain realm, unless they specialize in practicing the rejuvenation exercises, or eat some heavenly treasures that can maintain their appearance forever, their appearance will still pass with the passage of time.
So according to the calculation of time, the two servants guessed the age of their master's grandfather, at least they were around seventy or eighty years old, and now standing in front of them was a teenager who looked like he was only in his early twenties.
"Whew!"
Slowly exhaling the turbid breath in his chest, Xavier tilted his head, calming his excitement while suppressing the tears that kept rolling in his eyes.
Taking another deep breath, Xavier lowered his head and looked at Firena, who had now stepped out of Matthew's shelter, when he felt that he was able to face his granddaughter at this moment.
However, when Xavier saw his granddaughter's rainy pear blossom-like face, the defense line that had been built in his heart was once again crushed by his pitiful face, and his eyes were once again soaked with wet tears.
“…… Grandfather! ”
If the face of Firena's rain with pear blossoms before was a ferocious crossing flood that broke the psychological defense line built in Xavier's heart, then the girl's call at this moment was completely like a huge wave rolled up by a hurricane, slapping Xavier's heart fiercely, making his heart collapse.
With tears in his eyes, Xavier strode towards Firena, and the two servants, under the instructions of their master, did not stop them, and walked quickly in front of Firena, and then hugged her, and said in a choked voice, crying:
"Just be safe! Peaceful...... That's it! ”
At this moment, the grandfather and grandson didn't say much, just hugged each other crying, and as spectators, the two servants also didn't bother the two, but invariably took a few steps back, giving enough space to the two of them, and at the same time, they could also immediately reinforce in case of emergencies.
After a long time, the two suppressed the emotions in their hearts and gradually stopped their tears.
"Grandpa!" Wiping away her tears, Firena shouted softly, and immediately burst into laughter, blooming into a rather beautiful face.
Looking at the relatives in front of her who had undergone earth-shaking changes, Firena didn't have any weird feelings when she called out her grandfather, as if it should have been so, you must know that before the family accident, she was very resistant to her relatives in the other world, sometimes not to mention honorifics, not even a salutation.
But fortunately, she no longer suppresses her heart and lets herself go with the flow, so after being stunned for a while, she no longer thinks about this matter.
"You've worked so hard all these years! I've grown up and become a big girl, and I'm almost unrecognizable! ”
With his big hand caressing Firena's face, Xavier gently wiped the tears from her face, looking at the girl who seemed to be a different person, and couldn't help but feel the speed of time passing.
Letting Xavier's big hand rub against her face, Firena also stretched out her right hand, pulled her grandfather's face, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, no matter how much I change, I will definitely not have your grandfather to change a lot, if it weren't for the hairpin I gave you, I'm afraid I would treat you as a pervert and let Matthew attack you!" ”
"Hahaha! You little girl......"
Xavier didn't feel any anger at Firena's pull, but when he was about to continue to say something, several mages walked out of the magic training ground next to him, and their eyes also converged on Xavier, so he immediately stopped talking.
"Hey, look over there, if that young man is going to be a bian!"
"Damn, it's intolerable to attack such a young child!"
"Gendarmerie! Gendarmerie! I must send this man to prison, and it is so enviable to do so to such a cute child...... Angry! ”
All of a sudden, the shouting was endless.
Standing up, Xavier glared coldly at the magicians in the distance, his strength as a legendary-level powerhouse was fully displayed at this moment, and for a moment, those shouting magicians seemed to be stared at by something, unable to move.
"Let's go, this is not the place to talk!"
Holding Firena's hand, Xavier noticed that more and more people were gathering nearby as the magicians shouted, so he shouted to his granddaughter, intending to take her away.
Instead of refusing Xavier's offer, Firena, after greeting Mathieu and Anastasia, followed her grandfather towards the Sage's Tower.
After walking for about ten minutes, Firena and the others walked to the doorman of the Sage's Tower, and under the leadership of Xavier, entered the doorman's room.
"Senior, we're back! Seniors, seniors, aren't you there......"
After shouting a few times, Xavier could not find Tulifa's figure in the doorman's room, except for feeling a smell of alcohol, but Xavier didn't think much about it, thinking that Tulifa had created space for him, so he quickly put this matter behind him, and then moved a few chairs for Firena and the others to sit down.
"It's been a hard time for you these days, Firena!" Petting his granddaughter's little head dotingly, Xavier continued to ask with a smile on his face:
"Can you tell me everything that has happened to you in the past year or so?"
"Of course!" Nodding, Firena did not refuse her grandfather's request, and then her eyes rolled slightly, and she said with a smile on her face:
"But correspondingly, grandpa also has to tell me about the past few years!"
"Of course there is no problem!" Nodding, Xavier did not refuse Firena's request, anyway, he had spent most of his time in the Sage's Tower in the past few years, except for those few things that he couldn't tell anyone, and there was not much to tell.
The grandfather and grandson chatted for a long time in the room, and when Firena left the family, she gave Xavier a concise and concise account, and he also told Firena what had happened over the years.
The night was getting deeper, and the two talked until midnight, which ended the conversation between them.
"Firena, I've really hurt you these days!" Stroking Firena's head, Xavier didn't expect that his granddaughter had experienced so many important things in just over a year, and he couldn't help but feel heartache for her experience.
But he quickly thought of something, and then retracted his previous sorrow, and said to Firena:
"By the way, according to the narrative of the girl named Matthew, you are here to study, I don't know if you are studying with that mage?"
"I don't know, the lich Roland just called me to come to the Sage's Tower, he said that as long as you show the doorman this sign, the doorman will take me to the place where the teacher is, but now it seems that grandpa, you don't know what this sign represents!"
Pulling back the token the lich had given her, Firena handed the sign to Xavier.
