Andhra is a completely landlocked country. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If it is not near the sea, there is naturally no harbor.

So Rob had to say goodbye to the dwarves early, disembarking at the Holy Alliance's port of Setvia, then taking a carriage to Maple City, then taking a boat down the Agate River to reach Andella's capital of Eton.

It also takes a bit of effort to get from Eaton to Ryan, and there is a stretch of carriage in between that that is not easy to walk, and passers-by usually have to choose to ride or walk.

Rob left home when he was eight years old and went to study at the Royal Academy of Magic and Wizardry of Thistle alone, and it took him a month to get to Eton, and it took nearly two months from Eton to the port of Setvia, plus four months at sea (because eight-year-old Rob bought the cheapest ticket, and the cargo ship on which almost every port would dock, so the voyage was relatively long), and Rob was always impressed by this long journey.

After ten years, stepping on this land again, Rob couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.

At first, he left his hometown and went to study in the Lionheart Empire, just thinking that he could become a first-order magic apprentice, hug the thigh of a small lord with the help of an orthodox magician, mix a noble title, and maybe one day have a fief of his own, which can already be called a success for a young man who walks out of a small place like Ryan.

He never thought that one day he would be valued by the headmaster, become the ace of the academy, become the hope of the human race, become the prince charming in the minds of countless girls, and the object of worship of all junior disciples, of course, he never thought that he would be locked up in the magic tower for so many years.

Now his name has spread throughout the Dawn Continent, and everyone in the human world knows about it, even the elves and dwarves will send gifts to pay their respects on the day he advances.

The boy suddenly found that he didn't seem to be as happy as he imagined, he missed the town called Ryan, the kind people there, the simple life, the childhood friends, and the man whose sideburns had been dyed gray.

In fact, before that incident, the boy always felt that his father was the most handsome.

He'd been to so many places, seen so many interesting things, fought so many battles, defeated monsters several times taller than himself, told funny jokes, and made his mother and him laugh.

If he hadn't fallen in love with gambling, he would have been a model husband and father.

After all these years, Rob has long since stopped hating him.

Sometimes he even began to try to understand him, this man was as dashing as the wind until he met the girl he loved, so he decided to settle down and become an ordinary uncle in the grocery store, who would grind with bargaining customers, and would carry rice bags for miles to save a little freight.

But he still has the blood of adventurers in his bones, he will miss the days of licking blood from the knife in the past, miss every exciting adventure, miss the excitement of swimming between hunters and prey, so he became addicted to gambling, and wanted to find those former madness from that small card table, and let his long-dormant heart beat again.

"Really, in that case, why did you want to stay in vain in the first place. The boy muttered.

That being said, every summer Rob still secretly sends money home without telling others.

No more, no less, exactly one gold coin.

This money can allow the man to live comfortably, but there is not much left over for him to go to the casino and splurge on it.

And just half a year ago, when the escape plan was almost formulated, the boy sent ten gold coins to that guy at one time for the first time.

He didn't know when he would be able to go back to that town, or if he had the time to pay the guy a regular pension on the way to escape.

Now Rob can't help but admire his foresight, with this money, he can take down the small building opposite the grocery store, repair it, and open a bakery.

Rob didn't know how to make bread, and he didn't know much about anything other than magic, but he now had plenty of time to learn how to make dough, how to knead bread, how to bake it to a fragrant taste.

When my mother was still alive, I always wanted to open a bakery.

So this can be regarded as the fulfillment of one of her last wishes.

Well, maybe he should also find a girl who smiles very gently, it is undeniable that the man's vision for choosing a wife is still very powerful, maybe he should also learn from him?

After all, a person's bakery always feels a little deserted~ Rob was thinking nonsense in the carriage, if he had a grandson, would that man be able to take care of himself and try to stay away from those bad habits.

The journey back home was much smoother than he expected, I don't know how Steines and Deman handled his escape, at least so far, the human world has not sent a major manhunt against him, and most ordinary people don't even know that Rob has left the Royal Academy of Magic of Teste, so he has not encountered a very strict interrogation in Port Setvia. And the difficult road between Eaton and Ryan was also repaired by some kind lord who gave money.

Sure enough, a lot of things are different from when they left.

Rob looked out the window at the unfamiliar scenery.

In my memory, this was originally a large wheat field, and I spent the night at the farmer's house, but now that wheat field has become a fruit grove, and there is a newly built fish pond, it can be seen that the other party should have lived well in the past few years.

Of course, there are some scenes that still look familiar, such as a grassy hillock.

When the boy passed by below, he was very sad to see a girl who had just fallen out of love sitting there crying.

In addition to this, there are other bits and pieces, and as Ryan gets closer and closer, those memories of the past also welled up from his mind little by little.

Fortunately, Rob breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, no matter how much changes happened outside, Ryan was still the same Ryan.

He could already see the familiar river on the outskirts of town, and even though his mother had been walking for years, he still felt a little sad to see it.

The young man sighed, stretched out his fingers and rubbed his temples, but unexpectedly saw a group of mercenaries who were fetching water by the river, and the man who looked like the leader was still scolding and scolding, "Rely on, you have to pay for water, and those guys in the town are too hateful!

Why do you see mercenaries here? Rob was a little surprised, didn't this group of people just smell the smell of money and run around the world, and they usually don't pay attention to a small town like Ryan with little oil and water, just like old Rex came here because he was lost.

The boy frowned, besides, they seemed to mention the dungeon just now?
