With the afterglow of the sunset, Li De led the horse to the East City Gate, and after paying a silver coin to the soldiers defending the city, he finally entered the Nanyun City, which had been absent for almost a year.
Since it was already evening, the streets were sparsely populated and deserted.
Li De led the horse along the bluestone paved street towards Nancheng, where his home was located.
More than an hour later, Li De came to the door of his house, looking at the door that had been absent for a year, Li De also sighed with emotion. After collecting his emotions, Li De came to the door and pulled the doorbell on the side.
"Squeak!" After a while, the door opened softly, and a young boy poked his head out of the door. "Who?"
"Danny, it's me!" Li De replied softly as he looked at the boy.
As soon as he heard Li De's voice, the young man suddenly came to his senses, and his figure jumped out of the door in a flash.
"Master Karl, you're back!" the young man said in a loud voice.
The boy's name is Danny Colin, the only son of Colin Sr., the housekeeper of the Li De family, and grew up with Li De as a child.
"Yes, I'm back!" Li De smiled lightly.
"Master Karl, please come in!" Danny stepped out of his body and hugged Li De excitedly and walked towards the gate.
As soon as he stepped through the door, Danny roared loudly.
"Young Master Carl is back, Young Master Carl is back......" At this time, the moon was already shining, and it was almost time to go to bed, when he shouted like this, he immediately jumped up the chickens and dogs in the courtyard of Li De's house, which was not very big.
Li De's parents, younger brother Sean, and old Colin all came out of the room and walked towards Li De non-stop, all of them looking very happy. In particular, Li De's younger brother Sean trotted over all the way, still chanting words in his mouth, and looked very excited.
"Brother, you're back!" Sean's thick body suddenly pounced on Li De's body, almost making Li De stumble.
"You take it easy!" Li De scolded with a smile, after almost a year, Sean has developed a lot, taller and bigger than his brother, and even more tiger-headed.
"Hey, hey!" Sean smirked and let Li De go.
At this time, Li De's parents also walked up to him, and Li De hurriedly saluted them.
"The child has seen his father and his mother!"
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" A thousand words, and finally I don't know where to start, Li De's father, Huo Sen, sighed softly.
Li De's mother, Beat, has already held Li De in her arms, and she hasn't seen her for almost a year, how can she not miss it as a parent, but as a father, she must have the reserve of a father.
A warm picture, the family is united again, there is a lot to say, and this night is destined to be sleepless.
Under the cold and warm of their parents, the family talked a lot and did not fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.
As soon as dawn was the next day, Sean couldn't wait to come to Li De and ask Li De to guide him in the practice of magic. At the beginning of next year, Sean will also go to Magnolia Academy to take the entrance examination, and he also wants to enter Magnolia Academy to study like his brother.
Sean's talent is good, he has sensed the existence of the fire element last year, and he has begun to condense magic power in his body, and passing the assessment of Magnolia Academy is just around the corner.
Li De did not hide his clumsiness, and explained the knowledge about magic in his mind to Sean little by little, slowly replenishing his magical knowledge and vision.
Although Sean looks like a tiger, he is very committed to doing the right thing, and he is also very attentive to listening to Li De's explanation, and he gradually becomes addicted to it.
Seeing Sean so attentive, Li De was also very happy, and gave Sean magic explanations and meditation guidance every day, which made Sean very happy.
Li De's parents were also sincerely happy to see Li De and Sean so brotherly harmony, and in addition to normal activities, they basically did not interfere with the two of them, so the two brothers tossed.
If Sean can also join Magnolia Academy next year, it will be a double happiness for the Li De family, which can be described as a 'double master'. At that time, it will definitely alarm the city lord's mansion and those big nobles as official representatives, and it will definitely be inevitable to win over, but as long as it is handled properly, it will definitely be able to represent huge benefits for the family.
Because Li De became a student of Yulan College before, although Li De's family did not get the attention of any forces on the surface, they still attracted the attention of all parties in secret, and their family's business in Nanyun City became a lot smoother, and the business was booming day by day, and it didn't take long to change to a larger shop in the south of the city.
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since Li De returned home. In addition to guiding his younger brother's magic cultivation this month, Li De basically stayed at home, and his life was quite comfortable and relaxed.
That morning, Li De found his father, Huo Sen.
"Carl, do you have something to do with your father?" Huo Sen was sitting in the study looking at the accounts for this time, and when he saw Li De walking in, he asked out loud.
"Father, there's something I'd like to discuss with you?" said Li De as he came to his desk and whispered.
"Oh!" Huo Sen looked at Li De with a look of surprise on his face, and said slowly. "Say it!"
"I want to leave home for a while and go to the Yunlu Mountains in the north to have some experience!" Li De said what was in his heart.
There are a large number of low-level demonic beasts living in the Yunlu Mountains in the north of the Nanyun Basin, these demonic beasts are naturally very dangerous for ordinary people, but they are an excellent place for Li De to temper.
Huo Sen's brows furrowed when he heard this, and his eyes were fixed on Li De, obviously a little surprised by Li De's bold idea.
Li De looked at his father as usual, but his heart was nervous, worried that his father would not let him travel alone because he was worried about his safety.
"Alright!" said Howzen in a deep voice after a moment of silence. "Since you've made up your mind, then I won't say much, but safety comes first when you go out, don't be careless!"
"The child will remember his father's advice, and he will not act recklessly. Li De replied solemnly.
"Well, when are you going to go?" asked Horsen.
"The child wants to leave as soon as possible so that he can get home before the New Year!" replied truthfully.
It's the end of November now, and there are still a few days to go until the New Year, and Li De doesn't want to delay the New Year because of going out to practice.
"That's fine, you can leave the day after tomorrow!" Huo Sen said in a deep voice after thinking for a moment.
"Yes, father!" Li De didn't have any opinion, and responded happily.
"By the way, don't mention this to your mother and brother yet, I'll tell them when you're gone!" Huo Sen hesitated for a moment, then admonished.
"The child understands!" Li De knew what Huo Sen meant as soon as he heard it, so he naturally raised his hands in agreement.
Li De's mother Beate and younger brother Sean, one must strongly disagree with him to go, and the other will definitely be stalked to go with him, which is a troublesome matter for Li De, and it must be excellent for Huo Sen to explain it now.
Later, after talking with his father Huo Sen for a while, Li De withdrew from the study.
For the next two days, it was business as usual. On the evening before his departure, Fox called Li De into his study.
"This is an ice staff made of green frost wood, although it is only a bronze grade, but it is also a wish for my father, I hope you have a smooth trip, we are waiting for you to go home for the New Year!" Huo Sen said with a solemn expression, and at the same time took out a cyan staff and handed it to Li De.
"Thank you father, the child will definitely go home on time for the New Year!" Li De suddenly felt a strong father's love, took the staff with heavy hands, and secretly swore in his heart that he would never let his father down.
A Bronze-level staff, even the lowest, costs thousands of gold to buy. Paying thousands of dollars at one time is a huge burden for Li De's family, and it is not a trivial matter. Especially this staff made of green frost wood, at first glance, it is not an ordinary product, and the amount spent must be only a lot more, which shows that Huo Sen has spent a lot of money for Li De's safety.
"You have to put away this green frost staff, so that your wealth is not exposed, so as not to be seen and remembered by unscrupulous people!" Huo Sen told again.
"Remember, child!" replied solemnly.
After Huo Sen said a few more words, he asked Li De to go back and get ready.
Early the next morning, under the watchful eyes of Huo Sen and Old Colin, Li De embarked on the journey north.
