"Then the bell should be a welcome to you."

"Huh."

“……”

Mark sneered.

Still welcome?

The moment Mark drove the bumblebee given by his vampire ex-girlfriend Alice and the rhubarb given by his werewolf girlfriend out of town, the bell rang melodiously and the church choir read the Bible......

And now the bell rings again, and you say the bell is a sign of welcome?

Kill the whole town, Mark won't believe it.

In fact, this is also true.

As the nanny car drove around the corner into Fox Town Center Street, Kate looked at the crowd gathered in front of her in surprise.

“…… Are they here to welcome us? Kate turned her head to look at Mark, who had unbuckled his seatbelt in the passenger seat.

Mark smiled here.

Again, that's the same sentence.

Welcome?

That doesn't exist.

"Talk to Tony and Pepper about not getting out of the car." Mark finished explaining and pushed open the passenger door and went down.

Mark walked to the front of the nanny car and looked at the crowd of residents in front of him, took off his sunglasses, revealing a handsome face that had not been left by the years.

"Wow, this is the legendary Mark Louis? It's so handsome. ”

"He looks so young, can I treat him to a drink?"

“…… I'm wet. ”

"Mark Louis, why is this public enemy back?"

"Didn't he say he wouldn't come back?"

"What about Lille?"

"Mayor Mare, what should I do?"

“……”

The moment Mark took off his sunglasses to reveal his face, there was a slight commotion in the gathered residents.

It is not difficult to see from the whispered conversation that Mark has not yet spoken, and some of the group have completely fallen under Mark's face......

Mark smiled slightly.

Poof!

"Clay, Clay......"

"Get out of the way and give her air."

The old mayor of Fox Town, who was standing in the first row of the crowd, couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he looked at the commotion on his side.

Really.

It's not for nothing that Mark has been called the scourge of Fox since he was a child.

The old mayor thought about it, glanced at Mark, who handed out his right hand, and was silent for a while, and then hugged Mark with a smile on his old face and said, "The welcome in Fox Town is not a handshake, it seems that you have forgotten." ”

After embracing the old mayor, Mark glanced at his male compatriots who were about his age and looked at him warily, and shrugged, "Maybe you are the only one in the whole town to welcome me." ”

The old mayor laughed heartily.

Mark pursed his lips and smiled.

Half ringing.

The old mayor turned back and waved to the gathered crowd and said, "It's all gone." ”

The crowd was silent for a while, and then it was reduced to zero.

The old mayor has been mayor of Fox Town for fifty years, and his prestige in the town is sufficient.

Even the newly-born young man of the Black Wolf Clan didn't dare to bare his teeth at the old mayor.

After everyone dispersed, the old mayor looked at Mark and said, "Your matter has already been said in the state, do you need me to help you make an appointment with Billy?" ”

Mark shook his head and said, "There's no rush for a day or two, when I take my friend to settle down, I'll go to Billy by myself." ”

The old mayor thought for a while and nodded, "That's okay, your generation of young people went out, and there aren't many left, but I heard that you are already the head of the FBI?" ”

Mark smiled.

The old mayor patted Mark on the shoulder and smiled, "Yes, are you married?" ”

Mark nodded and turned to beckon to Kate, who was sitting in the nanny car in the back.

Not much.

Kate got out of the car with Dorothy and Theodora, who were as delicate as dolls, and walked to Mark's side.

"My dear, this is Mr. John Bard, the mayor of Fox Town."

"John, this is my wife, Kate Todd, and these two little girls are my daughters, Dorothy and Theodora."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Bud."

"Me too." After shaking hands with Kate, the old mayor looked at Mark and said, "It seems that you are very happy now. ”

Mark smiled even more.

The old mayor then looked at Kate and said, "When this little guy left town, I always thought he would go down the path of crime. ”

Mark's smile suddenly disappeared.

Kate was even happier looking at Mark and smiling.

Dorothy and Theodora watched as the old mayor whispered.

Half ringing.

The old mayor smiled, "Okay, remember to come and sit in my office tomorrow." ”

"I will." Mark replied with a smile.

Soon after.

The two family nanny cars set off again, re-crossing the town and onto the trail up the mountain.

Kate, who was sitting in the passenger seat in a different position, turned her head to look at Theodora, who was sitting in the back safety seat, and asked, "What did you say to your sister just now?" ”

"That mayor just now had the same aura we felt outside the town." Theodora said.

Kate frowned.

Mark, who was directing the vertigo's direction, said, "John Bard is a paladin. ”

"Paladin?" Kate blinked, "Didn't you say that there is no God in this world?" ”

Mark shrugged his shoulders and said, "Paladins are not necessarily exclusive to religion, John Bard was one of the twelve paladins enshrined by Richard the Great himself. ”

"You mean ......"

"Yes."

"But how did he ......"

"Who knows, no one in the town knows why, didn't you see a white horse when we were on the mountain road just now?"

"Yes."

"That's the old mayor's holy horseman, and I secretly bought a mare to be bred for me to breed, and the white horse ran away when he saw me from then on."

“……”

Then it's time for questions and answers.

Not much.

When the nanny car turned the last mountain road, the view suddenly widened.

In sight.

Surrounded by many thorns and roses, stands an ancient castle.

The castle seems to be a long time ago, and the high gray walls are covered with dark green vines. There are round towers, narrow windows, semicircular arches, low cupolas, and door frames protruding from floor to floor......

At a glance, you can immediately feel the weight of history.

That's the bottom line.

Boom!

Boom!

After everyone got out of the car, they were shocked by the surprise brought by the castle.

"Wow, that's beautiful." Little Morgan, who was holding Pepper's hand, looked up at the broken sunlight that was thrown over the castle through the trees of the forest, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Tony, who was standing next to him, was sucking his mouth.

"This is your home?" Even Kate couldn't believe it, as if she was meeting Mark for the first time.

Mark smiled.

Kate suddenly blinked and said, "Wait, I remember you said that there is a family wizard living next door to your house, where is the next door?" ”

Kate looked around, except for the castle and the clearings and forests.

The sky was blue.

Kate even saw an owl-like creature hovering in the air.

Mark pointed to a place where he could see the whole town while standing here and said, "That's it, see?" ”

Kate followed her gaze and nodded.

Mark said lightly: "Old Louis and Angelis sold the house here in order to buy a house in New York. ”

“…… What about this castle? ”

"Oh, this castle was a ......gift from the Black Wolves when my mother and Louis Sr. settled here."
