To be honest, Chai Anping was the only one who paid close attention to Fenn in the escort team at first. This master's student did not catch his eyes much.
——It has absolutely nothing to do with his appearance.
Gerald, a young man with divine talent, undoubtedly possesses rare good looks and absolutely outstanding abilities.
But compared with Finn, he seems much mediocre, and he also has many edges and corners when dealing with people.
In the motorcade, this young man is probably the least able to speak.
Thinking about it this way, Chai Anping felt that he only had a bad impression of Gerald before!
However, this young man decisively struck out and came to him, striving to truly stand out, but he couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
The first batch of cultural disseminators who came to Demacia were naturally of high status, but Demacia has always been a place that values real power.
What is power?
The military is the greatest power!
There is nothing wrong with pursuing both directions, it is nothing more than a personal choice.
Can you get ahead by joining the army?
Maybe he died on the battlefield early!
In fact, what Gerrard did not say in full was that he especially believed that following Chai Anping was the fastest way to achieve success.
As long as you have a little understanding of the young earl's resume, you should know what a leader he is worth following.
"If your choice is not a joke, then come to my manor at noon tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Gerald suddenly clenched his fists. He knew that he had made the right bet!
"yes!"
After getting off the carriage, Gerald felt that he was full of passion and would have a chance to show off his skills!
He and Winifred traveled across the continent before, sometimes choosing to live in some small towns. Before coming to Demacia, their master and apprentice were already the most prestigious magicians in the city at that time.
During this trip, the teacher passed away, and it was time for him to start pursuing his own life.
He and Mr. Finn have chosen very different paths.
"Please bless me, teacher."
He buried his teacher in a small valley with pretty scenery outside the city. It was a place Winifred would have liked.
When spring comes, it will be full of gorgeous flowers.
…
The moon is very bright today.
Perhaps because of the cold air heading south, there were only a few thin clouds in the sky, and the twinkling stars looked a little cold on this winter night.
Chai Anping did not return directly to his manor, but got off the carriage halfway and walked.
He has actually never been to this area of the city. It is mostly residential buildings. Most of the buildings have five or six floors. Every house has lights on, giving it a very smoky atmosphere.
Under the street lights, there are some young men and women who are not afraid of the cold, seeming to be taking a walk, and seeming to be bumping into each other's bloated clothes, looking for fun in the winter.
Soon he passed by a night market, and bursts of aroma wafted far away.
The hot stove dispelled the cold, and the vendors set up their tables on the roadside, filled with men who came out to have fun at night.
Chai Anping did not go in, but followed the sign at the street entrance and walked in the opposite direction.
Soon, he walked to a deserted street.
There are only two or three households on the upper floor opposite, and it can be seen that this place is already on the edge of this residential area.
It is worth mentioning that this is still the real estate of the Sirode family, which is specially used to lease to foreigners who come to the city to work hard.
Here Ellebella lives alone.
Chai Anping used magic power to dispel the smell of alcohol on his body to prevent his visit from appearing frivolous.
After confirming the building number again, he walked into the public stairs and started to climb up.
"Tuk tuk..."
After climbing to the highest floor, he knocked on the lighted door under the door.
"who?"
A familiar yet wary voice sounded from behind the door.
"I'm Gracie!"
"Bang..."
There seemed to be a pot falling to the floor in the apartment, followed by the sound of rapid footsteps.
With Chai Anping's hearing, he could even hear his heartbeat pressed against the door.
After a few seconds? The door was flung open.
Ellebella appeared behind the door? She was wearing a simple white robe tonight, and her long blond hair was tied into a ball on the back of her head. It was obvious that the owner had not taken care of it carefully, making it look extremely messy.
In a daze, Chai Anping remembered how he looked when he first met Ellerbella.
After seeing Chai Anping's figure? Ellerbella confirmed again and again in disbelief.
"Why...are you here?!"
Chai Anping shrugged, did not answer Ellerbella's meaningless question, and asked instead: "Are you cooking?"
He smelled it.
"Uh... yes, I'm off work today... cough? You know I work at the Master Registration Office, right?"
Chai Anping nodded.
"I'm late from get off work today."
Ellerbella tried to keep herself calm. In fact, the hands hidden behind her were already twisted into a ball, just like her heart now.
——She didn’t understand why Gracie came to see her.
"It seems like I look like a working woman now, and I can even cook my own meals? That's good."
Chai Anping smiled: "After learning about you, I have been thinking about the need to come and see you. Now... is the time ripe?"
Ellerbella didn't understand what Chai Anping meant? She quickly turned sideways.
"Come in and sit down?"
"No? I'm just here to deliver something."
Chai Anping shook his head. He took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and put them into Ellerbella's hand.
"The key to the apartment on Clairtz Street. If you want, you can move in." Chai Anping said with a smile: "I didn't tell Mrs. Renata that you were a mage. I just said that you went back to the country. I believe she saw her.
You will be very happy."
The bunch of keys seemed to burn Elebella, and she could hardly hold them.
Her magnificent emerald-like eyes were instantly misted.
Chai Anping scratched his head: "Of course I have moved away long ago, otherwise Lux would be jealous. Just accept this bunch of keys. I think Lux also wants you to have a stable place to live."
"sorry."
"Lux said you are still living in the shadow of the past, but now that you have begun to try a new life, you have to say goodbye to the past, Elle!"
He stood in the shadow outside the door and whispered softly: "Don't be imprisoned by the painful past. You are free. Work hard and look forward to the future."
Seeing the person in front of him with tears streaming down his face unknowingly, Chai Anping turned and left with peace of mind - as long as people can still cry, they can regain their spirits!
Then he felt happy, strolled into the bustling night market, and found a barbecue restaurant that smelled of fragrant meat and sat down.
He felt real joy, like the satisfaction after fulfilling a long-cherished wish.
——Isn’t he trying to reconcile with his past self?
This night, accompanied by the bright moon, street lights, soju and large barbecues,
