The afterglow of the evening was sprinkled, and the snow-covered children were pulled by their parents' ears to go home.

The King of the North, the Uncrowned King of the Town, the Champion of Hide and Seek, and the Chosen Choice of Snowballs, proudly set out on his way back to the castle, but Blom stopped him not far away.

"Childish Game ......"

Annan, who had retracted his smile, whispered hoarsely, and walked quickly past Blom with his head slightly bowed.

Back at the castle, Annan, who had tidied up his black hair a little, asked the butler who greeted him, "Where are the eldest sister and the second sister?" ”

"In Miss Itilia's bedroom."

Annan asked Blom to go back, first bring the water element back to the room, and unleash a low-level summoning spell to contact Breeze City.

The wheelchair that was made according to Annan's request was rushed out of the portal. Annan sat down to experiment, the cashmere-covered cushions and handguards brought warmth, and the solidified gel that wrapped the wooden wheels made the wheelchair silent.

In addition to a satisfactory wheelchair, there are also 1,000 gold coins. Annan asked the ogre to tell the craftsman to make another one, and asked the water elemental to pick up the wooden box containing the gold coins and knock on the door of the eldest sister's bedroom.

Knock Knock Knock –

The sound of footsteps came from far and near, and the door opened, leaving Annan with the back of a man running back to the room. They're watching The Fall of the Mage's Tower.

"Huh? What is it? Leila asked, pointing to her wheelchair.

"My New Year's gift to my family and eldest sister."

"What's the New Year's gift?"

"It's a gift to celebrate the new year."

Unexpectedly, the Yves Saint Laurent calendar is almost 1,000 years old, and the people here have not thought of celebrating.

Rela lifted Itilia into her wheelchair and pushed her around the bedroom.

"Little brother, you did a good job in this matter." Leila raised her chin and pointed to the wooden box held up by the water elemental, "That's a gift for the family?" ”

"A thousand gold coins here should be enough for the first year."

The family's only guard is roaming the territory of Ausulond to fend off bandit aliens who have invaded and harassed the territory. Annan never even met. And the castle was empty at the moment, and if the town outside was attacked, the family would not even be able to send support.

"You've spent 3,000 gold for your family......"

Annan smiled gently: "We are family, and have you forgotten?" This "The Fall of the Mage Tower" earned me tens of thousands of gold coins in Breeze City alone. ”

"Mine?" Leila broke the atmosphere of emotion and touched Annan's waist with bad intentions.

"You've got it." Annan keenly avoided it.

"It's your dear brother coming back itself."

"You mean the Philosopher's Stone?"

Annan and Rela said at the same time.

"That's not a gift!"

Lela pounced on Annan, who surrounded the water element and didn't let her get closer: "Then what if I become 'Jack' and date you?" ”

"Disgusting!"

After the joke, Annan got down to business: "I should go back." ”

Lella was stunned, and Itilia also frowned slightly: "You've only been back for two days." ”

"I have to go back to Starmoon Bay by the second year......"

Speaking of territory, the construction of towns, the development of ports, the threat of Gemar, and The Fall of the Mage's Tower, which has already begun to be screened in the cities of Fertility and Beta......

Annan made many excuses to return to Xingyue Bay before the apocalypse forecast.

"Then let's go back." Itilia was reluctant, but still said, "Annan now has his own people. ”

But the strong, unflapping Leila's eyes were misty.

"You can come to Starmoon Bay often......"

Rela's sadness disappeared in an instant: "Really! ”

"Did I say anything?" Annan regained his consciousness and asked blankly.

"Alright."

Itilia stopped them and instructed Annan: "Don't be gullible with others, many nobles are waiting to see your jokes and don't mind causing trouble." Olmedo can be trusted, Augusta has traded death for the disappearance of your mustard......"

"Great fatherly love."

But Rela said, "Beware of that bad woman, and be careful that Gema is also a bad woman." ”

"Women?"

"I used to go to the Diatra family when I was a kid, and that Gema was a little girl."

Annan knew what to do with his malicious neighbor.

"I'll go get my luggage ready."

After Annan left, Leila seemed to remember something: "I seem to have misremembered...... Gema seems to be a boy ......"

……

Two days at the Reeves family were short and wonderful. But as with all wonderful dreams, it is time for Annan to wake up and face reality.

There was nothing to pack. Annan checked the knights and the water elemental, and then went back to the room to rest.

Knock Knock Knock –

Less than an hour before dawn, Annan was awakened by a knock on the door.

Outside the door, Etilia sat in a wheelchair and stretched out her palm. The sleepy-eyed Annan thought about it, returned to the bedroom and picked up a magic stone and put it in the palm of the eldest sister's hand.

Editilia reluctantly put away the Philosopher's Stone and stretched out her hand to Annan again: "Pick me up." ”

After a slight hesitation, Annan walked around to the side of the wheelchair and lifted the doll girl with his arms through the back of his neck and the crook of his legs. The eldest sister is lighter than expected.

"You should eat more."

"It's not your business." Editria's cheeks flushed slightly, "I'm going to take you to the contract." ”

Annan's worries turned into hesitant determination: "Eldest sister, my wealth in Breeze City is less than eight thousand gold coins, and the Fall of the Mage Tower will continue to make benefits. You can take over Starmoon Bay after my accident, or trade with Diatra to sell it. ”

"What stupid are you talking about?"

Ittilia patted Annan lightly, guiding him through the long spiral staircase and corridor to the depths of the earth, where a pool of lava surging with viscous magma came into view, and ancient contracts floating on the lava.

This contract is the foundation of the Reeves family's withering, but still standing today.

Ittilia wanted to give the contract to Annan for safekeeping.

I didn't show my stuffing. Annan thought about it, shook his head and said, "My Elemental Legion can protect Xingyue Bay, and it is only the family and you who need protection. ”

Editria's eyes drooped slightly, and she didn't say anything.

Return to the castle and put Etilia back in her wheelchair. Outside the window, the clouds shone faintly.

"Stay safe on the road, Lela is waiting for you in the living room."

Annan bowed his head and went downstairs to see Leila asleep on the couch by the fireplace. Grab the blanket and cover her body, and go to the gloomy and cold castle outside.

Greeting Blom's gaze, the team stepped into the carriage and slowly drove across the drawbridge. Annan raised his head at this moment and looked at the silhouette that appeared in front of the bedroom window.

I don't know when I'll be back......

……

In the bedroom, illusory whispers waft through the room.

"I saw it, it was a good boy like Levi's."

"I know...... But he's not ......," Etilia in a wheelchair exuded sadness.

"Don't worry about that kid, he's alive and well, he'll make a name for himself in other worlds."

"Your separation is only temporary."
