24 Old acquaintances

As everyone guessed, the mysterious person in the room was Domi, the person who had predicted the fate of Milo and the others from the beginning.

"I didn't expect it to be you, old man." Parrett scratched his head, but the focus was clearly on the name that Klan had just uttered, Dumennick Dutved. Just when the others didn't know why, Kelan walked up to Domi, who bowed slightly, bowed his head and saluted.

Kelan slowly raised his right hand and made a move that no one expected—"Smack!" A resounding slap in the face to Domi! This frightened the others, but no one dared to step forward, and they didn't even have the courage to ask why. After all, in the eyes of others, this is the scene of a young woman beating an elderly man, which is unreasonable, but it just happened!

Domi, who was slapped in the face, didn't react, just closed her eyes and continued to bow her head, as if she was reflecting on her mistakes. And Kelan's gaze, on the surface, is cold and cold, but in the deep layer is endless care and sadness, this kind of gaze, just like the elders who are reprimanding the child, should be, which makes people afraid, but also makes people nostalgic......

Domi finally spoke, her voice low but clear: "Mother......"

The unexpected appearance of this most common word can be imagined as shocking to others.

"I'm sorry, my friends," Koran whispered, without any movement, and the companion behind her couldn't see her expression, "please give it to ...... Please give us some time......" Milo and the others were shocked to realize that Kran's words were said to them, and after a short eye contact, several people exited the room, and Erin was the last to go out, and when she closed the door, she saw the moment Kran and Domi hugged each other......

Domi, also known as Dumenique Dutved, is the second adopted son of Barty Dutved's younger brother, Kolan.

……

Milo and Parrett, who know Domi, still have lingering fears about Domi's calling Kolan "Mother" - the psychological fear of the small world and the number of coincidences is self-evident. Even Erin, who had never met Domi, and Captain Finn, who had only met each other, were panicked about this. After a few people walked out of the room, they all wanted to blurt out the words in their stomachs, but they were like a fish in their throats, and they didn't know where to start - they were afraid of saying the wrong thing, and they were afraid of damaging the image of their companions in the minds of everyone, which made people feel embarrassed.

In the hallway, a passer-by who obviously wanted to talk to them caught the attention of Milo and the others, and they realized that the passer-by was a green dragon mercenary, but an unfamiliar face. The mercenaries didn't stick to etiquette and asked them directly, "Milo Entekman and Erin Akayi, right?" Without waiting for a response, he continued, "I'm here to pick you up, Domi expected everyone to be here, he should be in the room catching up with his adoptive mother, and I'll entertain you." ”

Milo and his party did not find a place for a while, and after a brief response, they followed the mercenary to the hotel dining room and sat down.

"Judging by your curious and surprised expressions, you should be wondering about the relationship between Domi and Ms. DuPont (Kelan's last name before she got married), and I can help you answer it." In the words of the Green Dragon Mercenary, this is exactly what everyone wants to know.

The Green Dragon mercenary begins the story: due to the influence of time magic, Klan has no children, so she and her husband adopt two adopted sons to inherit the family business, namely the aforementioned brothers Barty and Duminique. After her husband's death, in order to fulfill her husband's dying request, Klan hopes to one day discover the secrets hidden in the desperate desert, coupled with the active contact of the Green Dragon mercenaries, Klan began to learn various battle mage skills and abilities from Elder Agatha to prepare for the future adventure. At the same time, Kelan and his relatives and friends are also working hard to raise their two adopted sons so that they can become the successors of the family. However, over time, the two brothers also showed completely opposite views and attitudes - Barty was very positive about how to run the manor, farm and family affairs, while Duminic was not interested in it, preferring to go to the Green Dragon Fortress with his adoptive mother to exchange adventure stories and magical knowledge with the mercenaries there, and over time became a regular visitor there, and met Elder Agatha at first sight. But Klan was not happy about this, she didn't want Duminic to learn about magic and exploration, she just wanted them to inherit the family business in peace. Contrary to his wishes, Duminic eventually became Elder Agatha's apprentice, creating a gap between Koran and the Green Dragon mercenaries.

The conflict eventually broke out, and Duminik, who had grown up, became even more rebellious after learning many skills, and without consulting his family, he accepted the mission given by the Green Dragon mercenaries privately, leaving his native Duchy of Komet, and never returned. This incident brought the relationship between Kelan and the Green Dragon mercenaries to a freezing point, and almost made her break with Elder Agatha, so in the days that followed, even if the relationship between Kelan and the mercenary organization was slightly restored, it was still both friend and foe, and it has lasted for nearly forty years to this day......

Eventually, Duminic grew up through his travels and adventures, honed the magic of foresight, and became a well-known soothsayer. And when Kelan traveled and explored around the world, he did not forget to collect news about Du Minique, and guessed that his adopted son had changed his name to "Domi" according to the legends in the mouths of travelers from all over the world.

……

"I'm sorry, mother......" On Domi's old cheeks, two tear stains were like clear rivers, which had not dried up.

"Are you alright...... I was relieved. Kelan patted Domi on the back and said, "The last time I saw you, you were still a young man......"

"You haven't changed ......"

"I've been stuck in the river of time for a long time, and I'll be stuck for a long time in the future...... This is a gift from your father to me......"

The two slowly separated, staring at each other, and after a long time, Kelan said again: "You look having a hard time, kid ......"

"Yes, but it took me more than thirty years to finally complete Elder Agatha's task......"

"It's all gone, Elder Agatha is gone......"

"No, Mother, it's not over yet!" Domi suddenly said firmly, "I've found the key clue to the Curse of the Stars. ”

Koran asked Domi with an incredulous look, and the latter confirmed to his mother again with an affirmative look.

"Tell me about ......"

"Look at this—" Domi pulled out an old, yellowed pamphlet, the cover faded, but he could barely tell that it was a stag......

……

"There's something I have to congratulate Miss Akayi." The Green Dragon mercenary suddenly changed the subject and said.

"Congratulations?" Erin didn't know why.

"The Spreet Empire has lifted your wanted warrant, and you are now innocent."

"Really?!" The group said in unison.

"After the rebellion in Wall City, the Empire issued a notice listing Sevia Anselson's various crimes, including the crime of framing and framing Miss Akayi to assassinate Duke Risson, so your family's reputation has been restored."

"O God of Ten Thousand Sources! Me, I...... Woo......" Erin folded her hands, her face was excited, her eyes were filled with tears, and she cried tears of joy - framed, separated from her loved ones, discredited, and fled in humiliation...... Thinking about what happened to her in the past year, she finally got washed away and relieved, and she couldn't help crying......

The others were also happy and relieved by Irene's grievance, and the captain and Parrett winked at Milo, who then embraced the weeping Erin and gently soothed her.

"So the empire has long known that Sevia is framing Erin?" Mello asked.

"The specific situation is still unclear, and now all kinds of news are spreading, and it is difficult to tell." The mercenary replied, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Milo, "By the way, you can also use this opportunity to clear your name." ”

Milo was very strange: "I have not been wronged, where is the opportunity to wash away?" ”

The Green Dragon Mercenary explained: "Now that the rebellion in Wall City is difficult to contain, the Emperor has ordered that as long as someone can resolve this rebellion, even if it is a death row prisoner, they can directly pardon the crime - I want to see it, this order was specially issued to you!" ”

"Won't it?" Parrett took over, "Hey! Brother, if you don't go and cut that Sevia, I'll help you! ”

"yes, it's a great opportunity! You don't have to come back and run away! The captain agreed.

Erin looked at Milo with teary eyes and tugged at his collar with her hand, as if to advise him to take advantage of this rare opportunity.

Melo didn't want to be pardoned, but the current difficulties were obvious. "I do want to go to quell the rebellion, but I need a feasible plan, although this is close to Wall Harbor, but after all, it is an important military port of the Empire, and it is more difficult to solve the rebellion with a few of us than to single out the djinn."

"Hehe, isn't the best thing the world-famous undead in Tum City do is to hide themselves?" The captain suddenly interjected, "Sneak into the harbor, capture the thief and capture the king first!" Isn't that the solution? ”

Milo didn't respond in time, holding his chin in his hand and began to think, while taking out his notebook, turning a new page, and began to sort out the current information......

……

"This is Milo's thing, I've seen him hold it, how can it be in your hands?" Kelan looked at the booklet with the stag pattern on the cover in Domi's hand and asked in surprise.

Domi replied, "This is indeed Milo Entekoman's thing, but it does not belong to the Milo of this time, but to the future Milo. ”

"Milo of the future?" Koran stretched out her hand to take a look, but Domi withdrew her hand a little, apparently not wanting her adoptive mother to see it.

"Yes." Fearing a misunderstanding, Domi went on to explain, "Teacher Agatha once told me that Pala Dax had noticed a very strange pamphlet in Umi Liu's hand - referring to this notepad, which only appeared in Umi's hand after they had used their prophetic magic to talk to the future......

"Wait......" Koran interrupted him suddenly, "do you know what is going on in the Desperate Desert?" ”

"I only know that there is a 'dialogue future', but I don't know anything specific, it was Agatha who told me." Apparently, Domi didn't know anything about hermits in the Desperate Desert.

"So, this notebook returns to the 'past' by preknowing the 'ball of light' created by the magic?" Koran inferred from what Domi said.

"Judging by the content in it, it is like this, this notepad has indeed traveled through time." Domi affirmed, "Para Dax had noticed the notepad, but strangely enough, Umi didn't take it to heart until the exile was hunted down—"

As if remembering something, Koran interrupted him again: "He gave this notepad and other belongings to a faithful servant...... Isn't it—"

"Well, the servant ended up here, Maruyama Island, and lived here for the rest of his life, burying his belongings, including this notepad." Domi said slowly, her eyes full of memories, like a deep pool of water, "Teacher Agatha told me that at that time, Para wanted to find this notebook, even though she had never seen the information in it, but she also realized the importance of this notebook, but there were few clues, and she didn't even know where to start...... More than 30 years ago, I was commissioned by Teacher Agatha to search the world for clues to this notepad, and finally ......"

"You've spent thirty years on this...... "Koran said slowly, her eyes melancholy.

"It's fulfilling, there's something new every day, and it's more fun than managing the estate in Komet." Domi half-jokingly said, skipping the wrinkles between his eyebrows are the countless difficulties and dangers in the process of finding a needle in a haystack, "Fortunately, I found it in the end, with luck and chance." ”

"That'...... What's in the book? Kelan also changed the subject, so that she did not appear sad because her adopted son had suffered too much.

"There's a lot of stuff on it, but the most important thing is -

"Milo Entecoman has finally broken the 'Curse of the Stars'!"
