Ciri and the little guy discussed for a long time, and this guy reluctantly agreed with a look of "Since you sincerely begged me, I can only wronged myself", and signaled that Ciri had already been recorded in the account this time, and he must compensate himself when the time comes.

Seeing Kayla happily hugging the little guy and looking at the envious eyes of all the women on the street, Ciri originally wanted to teach this guy a lesson, but now he can only endure it.

The little guy still looks like he is burning with flames all over his body, these fires are not ordinary flames, as long as he is recognized, the flames around the little guy will not burn anything. If you don't get recognized and attacked by fire, you will have to ask for more blessings. Last time, Ciri tried to roast something from the flame on the little one's body, but she didn't even leave ashes.

Kayla held the little one tightly in her arms and rubbed her head against the little one's head from time to time. The little guy also looks like he enjoys being pampered, squinting his eyes and making a ball. Along the way, Kayla asks all sorts of questions about the little one, from where they came from to birth, to their name and gender.

The origin of the birth Ciri and Kayla explained it well, as for the name, he didn't think about it at all, and kept calling it the little one. Gender, it should be considered female. In fact, no one knows how to identify the gender of the phoenix, but the legend says that the phoenix occasionally transforms into a beautiful woman and wanders the world, but unfortunately I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, the little guy is naughty all day long, and he doesn't look like a girl at all, and he doesn't have the ability to transform into an adult now.

Kayla strongly condemns Ciri's irresponsible behavior of not naming the little guy until now, and then uses her maternal brilliance to think about it, and after some thought, decides to call the little guy Koku. Because the little phoenix always loves to "chirp" and scream, Jiu is an ancient language, which not only represents the iconic voice of the little guy, but also represents the eternity, Kayla hopes that the little one can be happy forever.

Little guy, no, it should be said that Xiao Jiu is very satisfied with the name, and he has been "chirping" non-stop. However, Ciri thinks it should like others to "chirp" like it.

Ciri and Kayla walked for a long time with the "freshly baked" Xiao Jiu before they arrived at the mercenary group's garrison area. It is more lively than other places, surrounded by the sound of trading and trading, training and cheering, and the flow of cars and horses.

Many merchants will come to the mercenary garrison area to directly buy large quantities of magic materials, and after a large number of mercenary groups are stationed here, it is extremely lively. After more than ten years of hard work, the Leo mercenary group has just been promoted to a large mercenary group, although they cannot stand out due to the large number of high-level mercenary groups joined by Black Mountain City, but its strength has grown rapidly without doubt.

More than a decade later, Ciri meets Uncle Leo again. Leo has aged significantly over the years, and now holds relatively simple but extremely important roles such as storage management and materials trading. The teammates who created the mercenary group back then are still living well because they took a back seat early. If they had been living on the front line, their bodies would have collapsed now, if not for the risk of dying. Front-line mercenaries have always been like this, basically consuming lives in exchange for wealth.

Ciri met with the founders of the Leo Mercenary Regiment, as well as the new managers, who now held positions that were not complicated but extremely important and needed to be trusted. The current leader of the mercenary group is the former little archer Xavier, who no longer looks young, and looks very steady and assertive. The old swordsman Jeff is still assisting him, but most of them are in the general direction, and the small things are no longer asked.

Old Jeff and Xavier are like father and son, and Jeff is now more responsible for helping Xavier train and educate his children. Everyone was happy to see the big boss Xi Rui who had not seen him for many years, and he would not have been able to do this without Xi Rui's help. Ciri himself barely demanded anything in return, and all the profits he deserved were reinvested in the development of the Leo Mercenary Regiment.

This time, many people were very excited to meet the real boss of Xirui for the first time. Ciri himself didn't feel anything, he encouraged everyone, and then, like last time, he took out some of the liquidity and gave everyone a bonus, and left the place and rushed home.

Black Mountain now has many horse-drawn carriages that lead to the town of Joseph and the village of Craya, and when Ciri passes through the town of Joseph, he finds that it has developed into a small city, and Craya is no longer a small village, but a prosperous town. Compared to Ciri, Kayla was undoubtedly much calmer, as she would come to Clea from time to time to visit the second elder.

When Ciri returned home, his tavern had been reduced to a three-story building with a large yard at the back. A few young villagers were hired to help in the tavern, and the Nishizawa couple were now mainly responsible for management and accounting.

Ciri meets the second elder in the backyard who is relaxing. The old man was very happy to see the child, with tears in his eyes and a smile on his lips, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and finally only said one sentence in a thousand words, "It's good to come back." It is inevitable that the child will need to deal with his own affairs after he has a chance, and the second elder is still very relieved about Xirui.

Ciri has always been the pride of the Nishizawa, and they don't know what Hiri has achieved, so his daughter-in-law Kayla explains to them that Ciri is responsible for the great changes that have taken place in Black Mountain City. If Xi Rui is placed in the era when the aristocracy is in power, even if he is not an emperor, he is also a prince and nobleman. The old man's thinking was very simple, and he couldn't understand so many complicated things, but Kayla's words made them more relieved and confident.

Ciri spent a few days with the second elder in the town of Klaya, and his mother, like Kayla, liked Kojiu very much, and the two of them teased Kojiu there. It is not easy for Kojiu to bear the obligation of "taking care of his parents" alone.

Nishizawa and his son talk about some of the changes in the neighborhood in recent years. The Noras Forest has become a large gathering place for mercenaries, and the number of mercenaries they receive in villages and towns close to the forest has increased dramatically. At first, Nishizawa didn't want to ask for help, thinking that the two of them would be able to cope with all the work, but later the business increased far more than he expected, so he had to hire someone.

Speaking of which, Ciri's mother also revealed the shortcomings of his father Nishizawa, and Clea counted the final reconstruction of their tavern. If it weren't for the fact that the other pubs in the village had been renovated and rebuilt, and the original tavern couldn't meet the needs of more and more customers, Nishizawa probably wouldn't have thought about renovating the tavern for the rest of his life.

Happy times always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it's time to part. Ciri couldn't stay at his home forever, and the second elder didn't want him to stay here for too long. After a few days of relaxation, Ciri felt like she was reintegrating into the Colin plane, into the nascent Serge Empire and the new Academy of Flowers. No matter how much changes may have taken place here, it is where Ciri was born and where Ciri is founded.
