Chapter 558 Uncle, Aunt, I’m Back!

Raymond's pupils shrank slightly. Then, he relaxed completely, exhaled, and strode forward:

"Grete! Little Grete! It's really you who is back!"

He opened his arms five or six steps away. Four steps, three steps, two steps, his eyes fell on the badge on Gretel's chest, and he suddenly froze:

In the center of the four-fold ring, a bright silver star shines quietly.

Sixth level magician.

Behind him, the sound of the city guards breathing in came one after another.

There are only a handful of professionals of this level in the entire Heartland City. Especially the spell casters, several lord bishops, and the hosts of the Mage Tower. Each of them is a big shot they see who needs to bow and be called "Your Excellency".

Raymond suddenly froze in place. He opened his arms stiffly, but did not move forward. After a moment, he quietly dropped it and wiped the sweat from his palms on his pants.

"I'm still little Grete!" Gretel couldn't help but said, rushing up to him and hugging him tightly. Tighten your arms hard, creak, creak, creak...

"Brother Raymond, you have grown a lot stronger! Are you not far away from the knight?"

Raymond finally laughed. Feeling the tightness of his arms and the tight compression of his ribs, he let out a "hey" and stretched his arms outward to break free:

"You are not strong. How strong you were before, you are still strong now - but you have grown taller!"

He raised his hand and gestured. When he left home, Gretel was half a head shorter than him, and the top of his hair only reached his chin, but now it reaches the middle of his eyebrows:

"You haven't practiced well in the past few years, have you?"

Gretel lowered his head to avoid his gaze, and like the original boy, he quickly and slightly stuck out his tongue.

Not only did I not practice well, I actually regressed from level 1 warrior to level 0 - later the teacher commented, "It's not easy to regress to your level."

If it hadn't been for the fifth level of training, Brother Raymond would probably have seen a useless loser...

"Brother Raymond, can you go home early today?" He simply changed the topic forcefully:

"I want to eat the bacon made by Aunt Eileen!"

"Okay, okay!" Raymond couldn't stop smiling in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and purred Gretel's hair, turned around half-way, and raised his hand to his fellow soldiers:

"Little Grete is back. - I'll go back first, you can ask for leave on my behalf!"

"Okay, Captain!"

"Captain, please feel free to go back!"

"When someone asks us, we just say that the Master Mage is back! - For this reason, even the city lord will grant leave!"

The soldiers responded with smiles. Gretel turned around and waved to Cerela:

"Cerilla, let's go!"

Deer's hooves are enough. The beautiful silver-haired girl is still the most eye-catching one in the crowd even if she puts away her long elf ears. Under the gaze of the city guard soldiers, she was followed by a giant deer, running lightly:

"Gretel, are you leaving? I want to see where you used to live!"

"Walk!"

They walked straight ahead along the avenue. This is the only road in the entire Heartland City that can accommodate Silver Moon Deer to walk freely. Just like that, the giant deer, with its back taller than a human head and its long horns more than four meters wide, occupied the entire street once it stood there.

Along the way, without much effort, the clearing effect was achieved. Pedestrians stood under the eaves one after another, and the carriages retreated into the alleys to make way for them.

Just kidding, such a big deer is definitely a high-level monster. If it gets attacked by it, you don’t know how it will die——

And there was someone in front of him leading it slowly!

Those who can control high-level monsters must also be high-level professionals! Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend...

The streets were cleared for a moment. As Grete walked, he smiled and gave instructions to Cerela:

"This is the best commercial street in the city. Of course, it's actually just this commercial street..."

"This store sells all kinds of things from overseas, including tobacco and so on..."

"There is a store here that sells paper, pens and ink. When I went to buy paper, the boss was choking. I saved his life and the boss gave me a huge pile of paper..."

"This is the biggest bakery in the city, but I actually think Aunt Maggie's bread is better..."

Cerira turned her head around, glanced left and right, and then looked away without interest. Suddenly, there was a cacophony of hoofbeats in front, and several horses rushed over quickly. They rushed to the front, then quickly reined in the reins and jumped off the horses:

"Master Mage——"

"Nolan Knight! Flynn Knight! I am Gretel! You don't remember me!"

Grete smiled brightly. The visitor was stunned for a moment, looked up and down, and saw the shadow of the boy from four years ago on Gretel's face, and then relaxed at the same time:

"Little Gretel...no, Mage Nordmark? Are you back?"

Those who hurried over were the captain of the city guard, Nolan Knight, and the squadron leader, Flynn Knight. When Gretel left, one of them was at level seven and the other at level five. I heard that there was a suspected high-level monster strutting into the city. The two of them came immediately as they were responsible for their duties——

Unfortunately, he got sidetracked from the guard reporting at the city gate and did not get the news.

Seeing that they were acquaintances, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief: Thank God, there is no need to fight. One on each side, they led the horses and accompanied Gretel forward:

"Mage Nordmark, are you back?"

"Is this giant deer your mount? What level is it?"

"How long will you stay here this time? Or will you stay?"

"This lady is..."

Chatting while walking. Grete had a smile on his face and answered all their questions. After walking about half a street, another horse suddenly rushed forward. The rider dismounted and saluted directly in front of Gretel:

"Mage Nordmark! I have been ordered by the City Lord's Palace to ask the Master to come to the City Lord's Palace to have a talk!"

The road ahead has been completely cleared, and a straight avenue leads to the city lord's palace. Behind the knight, a four-horse luxury carriage came galloping, only a few dozen paces slower. Obviously, the city lord sent his own car to pick him up.

Gretel sighed silently.

It's so troublesome. He shouldn't have ridden Appa into the city and alerted so many people at once... If only he had known to sneak in quietly...

Sighs are sighs, things still need to be done. Grete's expression was calm, and he skillfully displayed the tempered expression of the deputy director of the emergency department, which was both kind and dignified:

"I am returning home this time to visit relatives and friends, and my return is as fast as an arrow. I appreciate the kindness of the city lord. When I meet my relatives and friends, I will naturally come to visit."

After speaking, he turned around and looked at Nolan Knight and Flynn Knight with a bright smile:

"Uncle Nolan, Uncle Flynn, I'm sorry, I'm going to Uncle Karen's house first! See you later! - Serira, let's go!"

As he spoke, he turned around at a 90-degree angle, walked into the alley, and waved out. A ray of light shot out from the hand of the silver-haired girl, and the two- to three-meter-tall giant deer suddenly turned into a miniature deer, jumping behind them, burrowing around all the way.

The alleys are narrow and the eaves are low. Gretel didn't mind it at all, and even bought a big paper bag of bread from a bakery he passed by, folding his hands and walking forward quickly. Not long after, he arrived in front of a low brick and stone house and shouted:

"Uncle Karen! Aunt Eileen! I'm back!"
