After more than a week, Heras finally reached Captain Harry's hometown of Soreau, and looked at the peaceful little fishing harbor ahead, and Herace was a little skeptical that it could accommodate the ship.

"Don't worry, sir. Harry had apparently guessed what Heras was thinking, "There's nothing on board now, so it's not a problem to dock." As he spoke, he gestured to the group of people waiting on the docks.

"That's my children and grandchildren. Harry was glad to say that seeing them made the old captain feel that retirement was not so sad.

Heras had already spotted the men, and when their boat had just seen the fishing port, they had come out of their huts by the sea, and many of them were half-grown children, and it seemed that they were looking forward to the sea, and that they would rush to meet their grandfather's boat as soon as it appeared on the horizon.

"You're happy, Captain. Watching this scene, Heras was a little sour, he also used to have a happy family, and this warm picture reminded him of his relatives in the Federation.

"Haha, they came out so quickly, waiting for my present!" Harry laughed, the feelings of retirement had vanished.

Soon the ship was approaching the narrow fishing harbor, and there was a noticeable vibration from the hull, the harbor here was still too shallow, and now the bottom of the ship must be dragging on the bottom of the sea.

Harry touched the old wrecked ship and muttered, "One last time, old man, you will suffer a little, and you will sleep here with me for the rest of your life."

Before the old captain could begin to arrange the dismissal of the crew, the children cheered and boarded the ship to surround him.

"Grandpa, what did you bring me?"

"Grandpa, the reflection crystal ball was broken last time, did you bring back another one?"

"Grandpa, my"

"Grandpa"

The noise distracted Harry from his work, but instead of getting angry, he laughed and hugged the children around him.

Among these children was a quiet girl with light brown hair, who did not mess around like those children, but just smiled at the scene.

But Harry would not ignore his eldest granddaughter, and he shouted to the maiden, "The King of the Vortex is above, you should get married!" Alice! Now you look like the work of the god of the sea, and the boys of the town will be mad about you!"

Hearing Grandpa's disrespectful words, Alice burst out laughing, and she chuckled and said, "John and I are studying magic with the old mayor, dear grandpa, and now I'm a beginner magic apprentice!"

As she spoke, Alice stretched out her hand, gesturing in the air with gestures that the old captain could not understand, and some awkward incantations came out of her mouth. In less than two minutes, a round ball of water slowly condensed in front of her, and she threw it over the joyous children, splashing them all over.

"Sister Alice!"

"Grandpa! I've been bullying us like this since my sister learned magic!

The children complained to Harry.

But the captain didn't have time to pay attention to the children now, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "Alice, you can do magic?"

"Yes, the mayor didn't return to Baker City after he retired, he likes our town very much, and he is ready to retire here. In his spare time, he teaches some literate children to learn magic, and I was the first to become an apprentice in magic!" Alice clenched her fists with joy, and when she first entered the door of this mysterious world, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep.

For the first time, Harry felt that his life's work was so worthwhile, a commoner like him had no blood, and could only become a magician or a god, but without the guidance of a professional priest, the chances of gaining the favor of the gods were slim, and magic was extremely esoteric, so the chances of learning it were even smaller.

Now that his granddaughter has become an apprentice in magic, his life savings will come in handy! Mayor Mare will teach the literate kids the basics of magic for free, but he won't be able to put spellcasting materials and testing tools upside down.

His eldest granddaughter had just turned 16 years old, and it was very rare for him to become an apprentice-level spellcaster at this age!

"Mayor Mare, too, is pleased with my magical talents, and he is willing to take me as a student, his first student! I won't marry so soon!" added Alice happily, she had come to greet Grandpa not to wait for any gifts, but to tell him the good news as soon as possible!

A little tear was already shining in the corner of Harry's eyes, "To Alice, you are right that you will become a full-fledged mage in the future, for sure!

"I didn't study magic to marry into some magical family," Alice said with a wink, she would be angry if someone said that, but she wouldn't bother with her grandfather.

Just as Harry was about to say something, Heras came out of the back of the deck, he was a little depressed when he saw these warm pictures just now, and he went to the deck alone and was quiet for a while.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Captain Harry. Heras made a farewell gesture and prepared to disembark without waiting for Harry to speak.

Alice stared blankly at the young man who had brilliant blond hair and clear blue pupils, dressed in the clothes she had seen in the mayor's books

Before she had time to think about it, she put her left hand behind her waist, placed her right palm flat on her left chest, and gently bowed to Heras.

Captain Harry was puzzled, he had never seen a place in the Western Continent salute like this. And Heras looked at the girl in amazement, and of course he recognized this etiquette, it was a gesture of respect by Emma's female surname.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, people of the Golden Empire. Alice whispered a little excitedly.

"Emma!" Captain Harry looked at Heras in shock, he didn't know what Emma looked like, but he knew the name of the empire like a thunderbolt.

As the only nation in Ampharon that can conquer the Twisted Void, the Emma Golden Empire is well known in Ampharon, but the country's reputation goes far beyond that, and the belligerence and pride of the Emma people under their courteous exterior are known in all the highest places. Because of some conflicts of interest, they even dared to challenge Eressa's Roy Elemental Empire.

Eresa is the oldest and most powerful supreme plane dominated by humans, and although Roy is not the strongest country in the Eresa supreme, the country's national strength is still not something Emma can fight against.

However, the outcome of the war was shocking, and although Emma's five magical void ships were all destroyed in the warped void, they also inflicted incalculable losses on Roy, which far outweighed the benefits of those disputes in the first place. Soon the two countries reached a peace treaty, and there is no benefit in continuing to fight, and it is better to settle it through negotiations.

After all, humanity is a race that values strength, and there are not many countries that can force Roy to the negotiating table among the many supreme planes. Emma's display of power was hardly like a young state within the Supreme Plane, and it was immediately recognized by the powerful countries in the various Supreme Planes, becoming a new power in the Twisted Void.

The Emma are proud but not arrogant, and after the Void War, they began to sponsor the Void Pillar's Mage Federation. Although the federation aims to be politically neutral, it is natural to provide various facilities to sponsors, so Emma quickly gained a foothold in the Warped Void, and the resources she received far exceeded the original sponsorship fees.

At the same time, the Emma Golden Empire believes in the most powerful god of Apfaron, the head of the Seven Kings, the Anfalian god of war - Augusta Warlord, and it can even be said that the Emma people have achieved this god king, before the birth of the Emma Empire, Augusta did not have the authority of the god king, just an ordinary god of Apfaron, it is precisely because of the faith of the Emma people that the king of war can obtain the power to overwhelm the other god kings of Infaraon.

The influence of this empire goes without saying, and Emma has not fought a continental war within the plane for a long time, because there is no country within Amfaron that dares to challenge them on the open side.

So the Emma people undoubtedly enjoy a special status as a subject of the hegemonic empire.

Alice knew that the handsome young man was wearing a garment called a Heaton robe, and that there were only three kinds of people in Emma who would wear it: a scholar, an official, and a mage, all of which were worthy of respect.

"Would you like to be a guest at the house?" Alice said with a little nervous anticipation, she just wanted to know more about the customs of that empire, Emma's capital city of Shalhelend is also one of the masterpieces of the pinnacle of human magical civilization, just seeing some scribbled urban scenes in the book is enough to make Alice fascinated.

"Well, if I don't bother you, of course I do, I'm going to be in town for a few days. "As soon as Heras set foot on the Western Continent, he felt the status of the Emma people, his dry food and other daily necessities were basically exhausted, and he had to resupply in the town, Captain Harry seemed to be very hospitable, and it was good to settle in his house.
