Chapter 223: Arriving Home
When the orcs and the people of the Eagle Empire left, Al and Amanda showed their form.
The orcs are also a very powerful force, and it is not their turn to say anything about the country.
"Brother Tao was in there just now, did you see it? Amanda whispered.
"See. "How could his brother not recognize him, Al even left a mouse brother for him.
The two of them waited until it was almost dawn before a strong figure slowly appeared.
"Are you Al?" asked Tao vigilantly, after all, Al was a sealed secret for the family at this time, and he couldn't be too careful.
Al nodded excitedly and stepped out of the shadows.
"It's me, brother. Amanda was also there."
At this time, Al has changed back to a slightly chubby appearance, that is, he stretched a little when he was a teenager. He has been using the power of blood to change his appearance, and he has long forgotten what he looks like. He was afraid that his family would not recognize him, and his face barely changed. Only the temperament and eyes are no longer so simple and immature.
"Big Brother Tao. Amanda appeared from another place and greeted casually. He has been out for more than a year, and the strength of his bloodline will not change.
After confirming his identity with his blood, Tao put away his serious face and punched Al.
"You troublemaker, you know you're home. β
Al held his head and smirked, only when the family was together would he take off all his guards.
"I can't be out for long, Al, be careful and go home by yourself. It's wartime, and my father is leading the army outside, so I don't have time to see you. Now this situation will only lead to a bunch of troubles. Mother is talking to you every year at home, you go back first. β
Originally, he was worried about how to send Al back, but knowing that Al could change his body, he let him go back by himself.
"Brother, I can stay and join the army, with my father and you. Al said what he was thinking.
"Yes, Brother Theo, Al is so powerful now that he can join the special forces with me. β
Amanda was on the side to help, it would be nice if Al was just an ordinary Auret's child, but Al had a special status, and the news of his return home could not be easily known, and he still needed his brother's consent to take him to the army.
"Nonsense. Can you fight a legion alone? How useful can an individual be in a national war unless above the Sanctuary? Don't you know how troublesome you are? How many outsiders covet your bloodline? Now is not the usual time, where are they busy coming to protect you. Tao reprimanded with a cold face.
"I ......" Al wanted to say that he didn't need protection, and Tao said that he could not refuse the strength of his mother.
"Either go back yourself, or I'll tie you back. β
Al had no choice but to let out a muffled oh.
"Amanda, you stay, the army just needs your abilities. β
Amanda had a bitter face, not that he was unwilling to contribute, it was his pursuit to strive for military merit and obtain a knighthood. It's just that I want to separate from my friends again, and I'm just reluctant.
"I'll bring you a gift when I get back. β
In the early hours of the morning, Amanda comforted Al, who was sullen by her brother's reprimand, and quietly returned to the army with Theo with a gesture.
Al reluctantly set out on the road home alone.
There are many mountainous areas in the Eagle Empire, and without Amanda, Al turned into a black crow flying high in the sky, and the aerodynamics and flotation skills rushed back leisurely.
On the way, when you encounter a famous big city, you will stop by the local library and famous mages to discuss the exchange of spells.
Now he is no longer the poor wild mage who runs into walls everywhere, but a wanderer who has returned to his hometown with a mysterious inheritance. Although it is strange, it is undeniable that he became a ninth-level mage at the age of sixteen. Drop a name post to visit, and everyone will see the face.
He knew very well that it would be difficult to come out again if he went back this time. I don't know if it's because of the timidity of the hometown and the lack of how to face the family, or the special depression of travel in the past four years, I just relaxed and slowed down the pace of hurrying.
Buy some gifts for your mother. And Boone, Ali, Bico, Aunt Miranda, Mr. Matilda, Teacher Norma. There's something for everyone. If you encounter materials that are unique to any region, you will also buy a lot of them and seal them.
Even though he didn't want to admit that he missed his family very much, he was still a little afraid to see his mother, and it still lasted three months, and the gate of the imperial capital of the majestic Eagle Empire finally appeared in front of him.
He had no proof of identity on him, and the heavily guarded emperor had a magic alarm, and Al slipped into the shadow of a man who had entered the city and returned to the city where he had lived for twelve years.
Do you want to go to see your mother first?
No, let's go home first. It's rude to go back like this. Soak in his bath for the day!
I miss Aunt Miranda's delicious workmanship! The best thing is the meat pie! Is the head valet Ali married to his fiancΓ©e? Have you had children? Is Miss Bico married? Is Mr. Matilda still his butler?
The arrogant Night King, Boone, who accompanied him into the gate of the mysterious world, how has he been away in the past few years?
It must be good. Boone is so fierce, where can he wronged himself?
The more Al thought about it, the more he couldn't help himself, he couldn't suppress the excitement of going home, and ran like a teenager.
See!
The three-story courtyard by the river!
With the door at hand, Al rushed over excitedly and cheeringly.
"I'm back...... Pull!"
Al's excitement came to an abrupt end, his clean and tidy yard, why were there so many tents?
How did his little clear pond become so muddy? His three-story building...... How is it in tatters?
Is this his home?
No. Al turned his head in embarrassment, he remembered, before he went on a trip, he bought a new mansion, and everyone moved over.
A black cat appeared alone in Al's field of vision, standing far away, looking at Al suspiciously.
It was a little dirty, one leg was lame, and its long handsome beard was curled up. The black fur, which had once been clean and neat, was now dull.
"Boone?"
Al's incredulous tentative opening.
But where is the need for temptation, the demon who has accompanied him for many years, the black cat who stole books for him, and the black cat who is arrogant, standing in front of him, he can recognize it.
He just couldn't believe it, couldn't believe it, how could his Boone be like this?
"You idiot!, where have you been all these years!" Boone limped over and yelled at Almeow.
Al crouched on the ground and let Boone pounce on him, and Boone jumped up and down on Al's body, sniffing him as hard as if he was about to forget his master's smell. Boone whimpered at Al as he shed tears of excitement at the meeting:
"You idiot! You idiot! You idiot!"
