"Grandpa, I'm back~"

Anne walked cheerfully, carrying her luggage, and ran down the country lawn. Looking at an earthy yellow roundhouse in front of me, my heart was full of excitement.

'Squeak-'

Anne pushed open the door of the khaki wooden house, and a cloud of dust fell to the ground, and the house was empty, as if it had not been inhabited for a long time.

Anne's originally excited heart instantly cooled.

What about Grandpa?

"Grandpa," Anne said in a choked voice.

Putting down her luggage, Anne walked to a round table in the cabin and saw a dusty letter.

Anne gently opened the envelope in her hand and read:

Dear Anne,

By the time you read this letter, I was already out of here.

Don't ask me where I've been, and don't look for me. Possible... I'm gone.

I just want to tell you that you are not my own granddaughter, but a child I picked up from the wilderness.

When I saw you at that time, a pair of big watery eyes, so charming, so smart, I decided to adopt you.

Watching you grow bigger and bigger, my heart is also happy. At the same time, I was a little sad. I'm afraid that one day, you'll leave me.

I really hope that those days can stay, so that I, an old man who has been lonely all my life, can have a warmth. Thank you also for giving me a chance to raise you.

Seeing that you are at the age of adulthood, I have to make a decision. I decided to let it go and make your future even bigger. Presumably, you have already accepted the rite of passage at this point.

Good boy, don't cry!

I wish I heard you call me 'grandpa' again, but alas, it's all gone. But you still have a long way to go, so don't let my departure stop you from dreaming of the future.

As a mentor in your early life, I would like to exhort you with a few words:

◎Don't be blinded by the illusion of this world, always stay sober and deal with all difficulties rationally.

◎Don't trust your feelings easily, and when things are complicated, close your eyes and learn to be calm.

◎Don't easily believe the advice of others, carefully figure out the motives of people's hearts, and let yourself be able to get out of the way.

◎No matter what point you get, don't lose hope in life. Because God has given you life, there must be a purpose.

◎Learn to protect yourself at all times, and don't fully reveal your tricks until the last resort.

Well, let's not talk about it, people like to be verbose when they get old.

Remember, you once had a grandfather who loved you...

......

...

"Grandpa—"

Anne could no longer hold back her tears, and screamed with a heart-rending cry, which alarmed countless creatures on the grassland.

It turns out that she is not her grandfather's biological granddaughter...

It turned out that he was an orphan...

After leaving the Demon Spirit Academy, Anne always felt that something was missing.

That's the brother Allen she once loved...

Now, her grandfather has left her...

In the future, you will have to rely on yourself...

Anne fainted from her grief, her eyes darkened.

Minghui Empire Radiant City Main Shrine

"Have you decided?" Bishop Theodore asked Father Tobias with some reluctance, hoping that he would regret his foolish decision in time.

"Yes, I've decided. Father Tobias stared solemnly at Bishop Theodore, expressing his determination.

"Ah—" Bishop Theodore sighed regretfully, and waved his hand helplessly, "Well, since you are leaving, I will no longer hinder you." I believe that all this is due to the good intentions of the Lord God, and perhaps, your future is not here. ”

"May the Lord be with you!" said Bishop Theodore, clasping his hands together and making a gesture of blessing and prayer. Glancing at Father Tobias, he shook his head regretfully and left the main hall of the main shrine.

Although he was very reluctant to love his apprentice, Theodore chose to let go. He had such an ominous premonition very early on, but he didn't expect it to come. After all, I have my own selfishness in it, and I don't think it's the will of the Lord.

In the beautiful and sacred temple, only the figure of Father Tobias prayed. Kneeling on the ground for a while and praying, he then stretched his green hair and walked out of the main shrine with a smile on his face...

......

When he went to bed last night, Tobias couldn't sleep, tossing and turning was not a pleasure, and he had a lot of things on his mind.

Since he became a bishop, Father Tobias has found that he has changed very little. In addition to the familiar passages of scripture in the skull, there is only the shell of his own sin.

In the days of the daily communion between the sacred and the sinful, Tobias could no longer live.

He decided to change himself.

But...

How can you change your current situation?

He thought, thought, thought, thought...

Suddenly, a voice sounded in my head:

'Leave... Leave... Leave sin... Get out of here...'

It's really hard to get rid of sin.

Where can you get out of here?

Tobias grew up in the main shrine at a young age, and he could only visit the outside world in the case of lectures. Actually, he is an 'otaku'.

No matter!

With this idea in mind, Father Tobias made up his mind. Early in the morning, he came to Bishop Theodore and made his thoughts clear. Packed up all your belongings and left the main shrine.

......

Tobias strolled through the streets of the Brilliant City, the sound of bustling noise. The city where people come and go, it is particularly bustling and noisy.

Put all your treasures into the space ring, which is the only valuable thing on your body. Tobias felt like a caged bird, soaring under the blue sky, completely free.

Where do I go?

Tobias was dressed in a priest's robe, his eyes rolling from side to side to look at things. Seeing a teahouse next to it, he thought that maybe he could get the answer here.

This is a teahouse made of sycamore wood with a total of two floors. The upper floor is followed by the roof, and a layer of glazed tiles is paved up. The windows open to the street face the wind, allowing tea drinkers to enjoy the view. On the lower floor and on the ground, more than a dozen pitch-black tables and chairs are neatly arranged, and most of the tables are already full. It can be seen that the business of this teahouse is good.

"Boss, come to a pot of good dragon wells. Father Tobias walked into the tea-house very generously, walked to a table where no one sat in a natural manner, and sat down.

For tea, Tobias still has some research. I like to read books in my daily life, and I have gained a lot of knowledge and wisdom in books.

"Okay~" A shopkeeper with a white rag on his shoulder shouted, wiped the table in front of Tobias, and turned around to bring a good pot of tea.

"Little two. Just as the shopkeeper put down the teapot and left, Tobias grabbed his hand and asked, "Can I ask you a few questions?"

The shopkeeper looked Tobias up and down, and saw that his outfit was a priest, and he instantly became respectful. He bent down and said, "Oh, I didn't expect the priest to come, if you have any questions, as long as I can answer them." ”

I didn't expect the priest to treat him so well, and Tobias instantly lifted his spirits. said with a smile: "Little Er, I don't know if we have any special jobs in Brilliant City, that is, jobs that can make people endure hardships and change?"

Forehead...

The shopkeeper looked Tobias up and down again, and asked a little inexplicably: "Isn't your own job to endure hardships and change people?

Forehead... Tobias was also short for a while.

yes, he forgot who he was. His ministry is to preach the gospel to all nations and bring them to the name of Christ Jesus the Savior. It's better to come here and ask such a stupid question yourself.

With an idea, Tobias smiled again and asked, "Hehe, it's such a little two, I have a friend who wants to change himself very much. He found that he could not break through in the temple alone, and wanted to see if there was another way to break through his temporary situation. ”

"Oh!" shopkeeper patted his brain and said with a smile: "So that's the case, it's so easy to do, if you want to break through and change, there is a good place to go." ”

"Where?" asked Tobias, as if he had found light.

The shopkeeper moistened his throat and said, "Magic Guild." ”

"The Magic Guild?" Tobias asked, somewhat puzzled, "What does the Magic Guild do?"

"Hahahaha..."

"Hahahaha..."

As soon as Father Tobias's voice fell, the entire first floor of the teahouse burst into laughter. When everyone saw that it was a priest, the laughter subsided a little.

"Hahaha..."The shopkeeper held his stomach and laughed a few times, then recovered, and said a little breathlessly: "No wonder, no wonder people say that the church is full of saints." It's understandable that you don't even know about the Magic Guild!"

"What's that. Tobias rolled his eyes and said with a straight face: "We just don't get along with the world." At this point, he thought of something, and his face was immediately full of shame.

"Okay, okay, no matter how bad the world is, it's all said by you religious people. The shopkeeper waved his hand, no longer caring about the contradictions between each other, and explained in detail:

"The Magic Guild is the temple of magicians in the Phantom Realm! Every mainland person who breaks through the magician class must go to the Magic Guild to register and imprint. Turn in all your information to the Magic Guild, and the Guild will issue a certificate proving that you are a magician. In addition, you can find a magical adventure group that suits your heart in the Wizards' Guild and go on quest adventures. Depending on the level of the party, you can take on different levels of missions and get different rewards. ”

The shopkeeper looked at Father Tobias for the third time, nodded and smiled: "Well, it just so happens that you are a priest, and you are the most suitable for joining the adventure group." ”

"Oh, why?" asked Tobias.

"Well, you'll know when you go. The shopkeeper didn't have a detailed answer.

"Okay. Having received the answer he wanted, Tobias put down his teacup, dropped a gold coin, and walked towards the outside of the teahouse.
