Wizard of All Souls

The gray-haired Sean stood on the deck, taking his old wife away from Wadi City.

Seeing the teachers, friends, and relatives who came to the port to say goodbye, Sean and his wife couldn't help but burst into tears.

Although he and his wife were the only ones on this trip, and his sons and grandchildren all decided to stay in Wadi City, he had no opinion at all, rather he was very supportive.

"Now is the time when Wadi City is undergoing rapid reconstruction and urgently needs manpower. The more people we can keep, the better."

The weight of Wadi City in his mind is the first.

But he decided to leave anyway.

Because he is too tired.

I got off the boat, got into the carriage, and walked towards my hometown that I haven't returned to for more than 20 years.

After more than ten days of travel, he returned to the hometown of his birth - Wei Luo Town.

Since the death of his father and mother who lived in his hometown more than 20 years ago, he has never returned to this town.

Driving the carriage, Sean looked around.

Wellowtown hadn't changed much from the last time he'd been here.

Rather, it hasn't changed much from when he was fifteen.

Still so quiet.

The folk customs are still so simple.

People work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Compared with Wadi City, it seems like another world.

"Every time I come back here, it feels like time has stopped."

Shane was filled with nostalgia.

"Da da da……"

At this time, another carriage chased the mountain from behind.

Looking at the things and the words written on the carriage, Sean was stunned for a moment, "You, you..."

The people in the other carriage noticed Xie En's strangeness, and immediately asked: "My lord, do you want to buy medicine? These are bought from the pharmacists' union in the city, and you will pay ten for fake ones. No deceit."

"No, it's not... When did you start selling potions?" Sean asked.

"It's been almost twenty years since I took over my father's work."

"That's it..."

Sean's eyes widened, and he stared at the house in front of which the school was written, "When was that school built?"

"Master Laman funded and built it thirty years ago. I heard that two years ago there was a genius who was admitted to the Academy of Nice." It's full of people."

"Father?"

Sean's thoughts were extremely complicated for a while.

...

Driving back to my hometown in a carriage, there were dense crowds of people standing in front of the castle of my hometown.

Pulling the banner of "Welcome the Return of the Paladin of Sean", they also organized a group of lovely elementary school students to sprinkle flowers.

In the crowd, he recognized his childhood friend, Leila Hallian, at the first sight.

At that time, he was so disappointed with Lila, since he met once when he came back at the age of twenty-eight, he never had any in-depth communication with Lila.

Let's meet again at this time.

Looking at Lila who was waiting for him with glasses and a cane, he felt like crying.

The prejudices in my heart are blown away like the wind.

"Call..."

Sean helped his wife get off the carriage.

"My lord Paladin..."

With the support of her granddaughter, Lila staggered over.

"Lila, don't be so alien, we've been good friends since childhood." Sean helped Lila up and sighed.

Lila's eyes froze for a moment, and he stared blankly at Sean, his body trembling slightly.

Sean took Lila's hands at once, "Old friend."

With the sound of "old friend", Lila's body trembling stopped.

Lila hugged Sean vigorously, and said with moist eyes: "Old friend, you are finally back!"

Sean's eyes were also extremely moist.

I didn't expect that after entering the seventies, the sincere friendship that I once had was still able to be restored.

Led by Lila, Sean and his wife walked into the castle together, happily participating in the welcome ceremony prepared for them.

...

two days later.

Sean came to the ancestor's grave alone.

In front of him is the tomb where his father and mother were buried together.

Sean put down the flowers in his hand, and placed three wine glasses, a bottle of wine and a bottle of tea.

After kneeling, he sat cross-legged in front of the tomb.

Poured a cup of tea, "This is for you, mother."

Poured two glasses of wine.

"Father, I haven't seen you for 23 years. Our father and I had a good meal today, and we won't go home until we're drunk."

Sean gulped down the wine in his glass, then poured another glass.

"Father, even if I become a paladin, a three-star adventurer, and an existence that everyone admires, I originally thought that I had already surpassed you."

"It's only now that I realize that you are already ahead of me."

Sean recalled all kinds of past events. Sixty years ago, his father took him to leave his hometown and go to Wadi City, which was still an open land.

That decision changed his life.

"Father, have you already expected this result?"

"Knowing that I will come back one day, so are you ready to receive my gift?"

Sheen thought back to what she saw when she came home two days ago.

Weiluo Town is no longer the Weiluo Town it used to be, it is also changing little by little, and the driving force behind this is undoubtedly his father.

"When you were still alive, I came back so many times that I didn't even notice."

At that time, he would find time every year to come back to visit his parents.

However, because he was too hasty, he usually only stayed for a day or two, and his thoughts were always about Wadi City.

So I didn't notice the changes in Wero Town at all.

These changes, his father once told him, such as raising funds to establish a college, teaching farmers to plant, buying new seeds, buying medicine from the pharmacists union...

My father wants to change Wero Town and make his hometown better.

However, when his father told him these things, he always interrupted his father.

"Father, do you know? There is another three-star adventurer in Wadi City."

"Did you know that the three parasitic infections that have plagued us for a long time have found a cure."

"do you know?……"

"Father, Paladin Will summoned me to learn from Paladin Will, maybe I can become a Paladin."

"Father, I'm back. I studied with Paladin Will for three years. I have become a Paladin, but you will never see me again..."

"Father, I'm leaving. I may never come back in my life."

Yes.

Since his father returned to his hometown, he has never listened carefully to what his father said.

Every time they met, he always unilaterally narrated the life in Wadi City, and proposed countless times to take his parents back to live in Wadi City.

And my father refused every time with a smile on his face.

"It would be nice if I could stay with you for a few more days."

"It would be nice if you could see me become a paladin and know that I became a three-star adventurer."

"if……"

It was getting dark.

Sean drank the last sip of wine, took a deep look at the tombstone, and turned to leave.

...

"Students, please give a warm welcome to our new principal, Paladin Sean!"

Sean stood on the podium, looking at the immature faces off the stage, the boys and girls clapped their hands excitedly, and stared at him longingly.

"Ahem, it's an honor to be your new principal. Let me just say a few words..."

Thus, Sean began a three-hour simple speech.
