"My name is Pennyris, what's yours?"

"Carter"

"Hey, you look very young. How old are you? Looking at your outfit, are you still a regular recruiter?"

"Yes, I have been in the army for more than a year, but I am also thirty years old this year, so I am not young!"

"Haha, you are like a newborn baby compared to your sister!"

Panerys showed a beautiful profile and smile.

With the locals leading the way, Carter arrived at the refugee area in less than five minutes.

However, although it is said to be a refugee area, it is actually no different from the surrounding residential buildings, except that the space utilization in this area is particularly high, and there are tents and luggage everywhere.

"No! We're here. Just ask around. You should be able to find your family. Then we'll have a chance to meet again, little brother."

"Wait a minute, this is a thank you gift. I don't mean anything else. I just want to express my gratitude."

Carter took out two silver shillings, but they just smiled and refused.

"No need... let's do this. After we defeat these blasphemous creatures, how about you treat me to a meal?"

Panerys refused in a more tactful way.

"Okay! I will treat you to dinner then!"

As a result, Pennyris, who had already started to walk back, just raised her hand and waved. It was obvious that she was just giving Carter an excuse and didn't take it seriously.

"Phew, start looking!"

…………

The entire refugee area is quite large, and Carter does not intend to take his time one by one.

It took him more than ten minutes to find the registrar.

This is a male elf sitting on a desk. He is wearing a set of gorgeous clothes. It is obvious at a glance that he is worth a lot of money and he should be from a noble family.

"Can I ask something here?"

The man sitting there holding a pen and writing something down raised his head and glanced at Carter, and immediately guessed his purpose and said:

"Are you looking for your family members?"

"Yes! My name is Carter, and my family is a villager from Cinta Village. My father's name is Castor, my mother's name is Annie Roger, and my sister is Carolina."

"Xinta Village, if I remember correctly they were placed over there, near that house."

The man who registered was very skillful and quickly pointed out the location to Carter.

"Thanks!"

“You’re welcome”

After knowing where his destination was, Carter started running.

After arriving at the location pointed out by the registration officer, he saw a large number of familiar faces.

"Hey! Aren't you Anne Roger's son?"

Before Carter could say anything, the people around him recognized him immediately.

"Aunt! Are you okay? I just arrived in the city last night, and I just had time to come find you today!"

"Come with me quickly and take you to meet your family!"

The surroundings were basically all villagers from Xinta Village. Carter might not necessarily know them, but they definitely knew who he was.

"Annie! Look who's here!"

From a distance, the 'aunt' in front of me (she looked to be in her early twenties) shouted to Carter's mother.

When she heard someone calling her, Anne Roger, who was packing her luggage, turned around and looked over with a blank look on her face.

"Oh! Carter! You're fine!"

After seeing Carter, she reacted, trotted towards Carter, gave him a firm hug, and rubbed her little head on her son's chest.

"Mom, I'm fine! Look on the contrary!"

As he spoke, Carter took out two golden objects from his luggage bag.

"My comrades and I ambushed a dozen Chaos Scouts a few days ago, and we were rewarded!"

"Really? You're not hurt!"

After listening to Carter's description, Anne Roger, like most mothers, did not care about money. Instead, she began to touch her children's bodies and care about their health.

"It's okay! Where are father and Kara (sister's nickname)?"

"Yes, over there, follow me!"

Carter saw his family in the happy eyes of the surrounding neighbors.

"elder brother!"

After being taken to the temporary tent, her sister gave Carter a big hug just like her mother. As for her father, he just patted his shoulder with relief and said, "It's okay." His wife rolled her eyes.

"Brother, are you okay? Come and live with us?"

"No, I'm just here to confirm your safety this time. I have to go back in a while. The Chaos Army may arrive at any time. I have an obligation to protect everyone's safety!"

When she heard that Carter still had to defend the city, her mother's eyes turned red and she said with a slightly trembling voice:

"You shouldn't have been allowed to join the army in the first place. I heard that the Chaos army was very large this time..."

Facing the posture of the beautiful woman in front of him, Carter had a headache:

"Mother, if no one is willing to protect our country, how can we live a safe life? Don't worry, I will be very careful. This is the reward I received after participating in the ambush a few days ago. You can keep it, 2

This gold crown is enough for you to live for a month. I have supplies from the kingdom in the army, so I don’t need much money."

Carter's father did not shirk it, but accepted it. They didn't bring much with them to the city this time, just a few bags of wheat flour, some grains and bacon. The bulk of the items were packed and buried in the backyard of their home. Just in case something happened this time

The fighting lasted too long and they really needed the money to survive.

"I've been out for a long time. I have to go back as soon as possible. Don't worry about me!"

He gave his mother, whose eyes were red, a hug again, and Carter also rubbed his sister's little head.

"Then be careful!"

Mother waved her hands and watched Carter leave. There was nothing she could do if she wanted to leave her. After joining the army, you had to abide by some rules. The most forbidden thing among them was to be a deserter.

After greeting the neighbors for a while, Carter began to look around.

After meeting his family, there was one more person he wanted to meet.

After turning a corner, Carter's goal appeared.

Emilia.

She came over just after hearing the news that Carter was back. However, because he was reunited with his family at that time, she didn't go up to disturb him. She just hid silently in the corner of the road and waited for him.

"Amy!"

Seeing Carter, Amy threw herself into his arms without saying a word.

"I'm scared to death. When I heard about the invasion of Chaos, I thought of you immediately. You are the northernmost military turret, the closest to the landing point of those blasphemers! I'm scared to death!"

"I'm fine, I'm fine!"

The two people hiding in the corner hugged each other for five minutes.

Carter had to comfort his lover like he comforted his mother.

Although Carter considered breaking up with her at first, after all, he was no longer the 'original' Carter, but since he killed someone the last time he went home, he had to take responsibility. Besides, who doesn't love beauty?

After a passionate and deep kiss, Carter had to let go of the reluctant Amy.

Although she was reluctant to give up, she also knew that Carter had no choice but to watch him leave with red eyes like Carter's mother.

Just when Carter was about to disappear from her sight, he suddenly turned around and motioned for her to touch his pocket.

Emilia was stunned for a moment, then reached into her pocket and took out a beautiful heart-shaped silver necklace. She was so excited that she raised her head and looked at Carter in the distance.

After seeing Amy see the surprise he left for her, Carter raised his hand and waved.

This time he really left, and he had to rush back to the military camp.

But at this time, there was something more in his heart and he was full of strength.

The souls belonging to modern people have finally begun to accept the world, the fetters from family members and the fetters from lovers who care about themselves.

This made him, who was originally confused, feel determined.
