In the hall that was still filled with a faint smell of blood, in the face of the nervous and excited Elivier, Raymond, who breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned his body on the sofa and smiled helplessly. "I didn't recognize it until now, could it be that I've changed so much over the years?"

"Oh my God! it's really you!!" Extremely surprised, Elivier stood up and brought up the beautiful woman who was holding his arm.

The embarrassed beauty frowned slightly, and the corners of her mouth were slightly imperceptible, but then a smile piled up on her face, and she saluted Raymond with Ellivier.

At this time, Scar, who had already dealt with the outside affairs, was pulled aside by the dark elf Freya by the ear as soon as he entered the door, and the old man who looked like a butler standing against the wall began to order the other servants to remove those who had fainted on the ground.

The excited Elivier looked at Raymond in a daze, a layer of mist soon appeared in his eyes, and his expression became embarrassed and a little sad, mixed with indescribable emotions.

And the beautiful woman who dragged his arm and sat down again, but after coughing a few times, she smiled. "So sir, you're Raymond that Ellivier mentioned before, thank you so much today......

Elliver, who came to his senses when he heard the sound, hurried to introduce it this time with some embarrassment. "I forgot to introduce it, this is my wife Oran......"

Standing up and bowing again, Oran, who was elegant, seemed to have forgotten the bloody things that had happened in the hall before, and actually began to greet and politely, looking like a noble lady of the family, and stopped Ellivier from opening his mouth several times, which made Raymond's brows twist.

“...... Lord Raymond, I've heard that you and Ellivier were both taken captive from the Mortal Realm to the Red Wetlands Wizard Academy. Over the years, I must have suffered a lot like Elliver, and I don't know where to settle now......"

Holding Ellivier's arm, Orlan with a flattering but tentative smile on his face motioned to the butler who was standing not far away, and soon exquisite pastries, fresh fruits, and fragrant flower tea appeared in front of Raymond.

In the same way, Oran, who had a smug expression on his face, put her noblewoman's posture quite sufficiently, but Ellivier, whose face was getting darker and darker, was stopped by her every time he wanted to speak, and finally Raymond got up unpleasantly. "Elliver, change rooms, I have something to ask you!"

Oran, who was stunned for a moment, wanted to speak, but Elivior, who got up immediately, hurriedly left the reception area of the hall. Pretending not to see Oran's angry expression, he led Raymond directly to his study on the third floor.

After closing the door, Ellivier even activated the soundproof force field set in the room, and then turned to look Raymond up and down, and after a while, his eyes turned red but he opened his arms and pounced.

A warm embrace of reunion after a long absence. Raymond's previous unhappiness dissipated when he felt sincere feelings, but before he came to the study, Raymond noticed that there was something wrong with Elliver's legs and feet. So after taking his seat, he asked why.

"It's hard to put it into words......"

He shook his head with a wry smile. Elivier began to tell.

Ellivier, who was also kidnapped from the surface world, was rescued by Villanika from the surface world at the same time as Raymond fourteen years ago, but on the fifth day after Raymond's disappearance, Villanika was ambushed when she arrived at another wizarding academy.

The three Warzone wizards who had just arrived were defeated after fighting Villanica. But she also took advantage of the situation to release most of the wizard apprentices she rescued who had looted from the surface plane.

"I was originally an orphan, and I was adopted by an old wizard in my hometown because I had some talent, so in the chaos I ran out with those who didn't want to be rescued......"

After that, he returned to the Red Wetland Wizard Academy, and after five years, he went to the defense line of the secluded canyon to train. Because of a leg injury, he had to retire early...... Orlan met me when I was recuperating from an injury, so she left the canyon with me when I retired, and we got married when I got back......"

"It's just a pity that I retired two war zone wizards with me, but they died because of this incident, I'm really sorry for them......! Damn it's me......"

At this point, Alivier slipped off his chair and fell to the ground as if he had collapsed, crying out and slapping himself.

Seeing this, Raymond was very stunned and hurriedly helped him up, but after a long time, Elivior, who was very emotionally unstable, roared in vain. "Orlan is a side branch of the Olive family, and this incident was actually caused by her, and my two friends died so unjust......ly!

Ellivier, who was pounding his head and his breath became extremely unstable, coughed violently, and Raymond, who had already examined his body, found that Elliver, whose strength had only reached the peak of a first-level wizard, had a stubborn illness in his body that was quite serious, and all his organs had suffered the impact of strong spell shocks, and there was no possibility of promotion.

"Orlan was a bit vain when she was in the middle of the canyon defense, but I really didn't expect her to be so ...... when she returned."

Speaking of this, Elivior, with a sad expression, raised his head and his eyes were red, and he began to cry as if he was out of control. "As a side branch of the Oliver family, everything she inherited is not extravagant enough for her to advance and our living expenses, but because of her vanity and gambling addiction, everything has caused what she is now, I'm sorry for the friends who came back with me, it's me who damn it......"

Beating his chest hard, Eriliver, who couldn't cry, made Raymond feel his grief and anger, but Raymond, who didn't expect such a tortuous situation, couldn't comment for a while, but could only comfort slowly, and Ellivier, who choked up to explain the reason, finally made Raymond understand what had happened in the past few days.

Oran, who is addicted to gambling, lost a huge sum of money in Yanboiling City three months ago, and used a mine under his name as collateral, agreeing to settle it a month ago.

However, because Orlan did not inherit the complete ownership of the mines around Shattered Leaf Town, she had no right to dispose of the ownership of these mines at all, so the Oliver family was furious when they learned the whole situation, and after recovering the debt at a high price, they simply demanded that all the mine rights be recovered according to the recovery terms of the inheritance agreement, and forced Orlan to stay away from the confines of Burning City and never return.

"Actually, Orlan had been expelled from the clan, and she wouldn't have told her about it earlier, but she didn't tell the truth until Old Bill was ordered to come to make the final settlement, which led to the death of my two friends in vain......"

At this point, the origin of the incident is clear, and in the face of Ellivier, who is sad and angry but does not blame Orlan too much, Raymond has an indescribable depression in his heart.

"Raymond, I know that you will definitely look down on me because of this, but I have been like this in my life, although Orlan has this and that shortcoming, she is still very good to me, so, so, so ......"

Unable to speak, Ellivier hung his head, his shoulders shrugged and he cried silently, his hands wrung together.

Knowing everything, Raymond, who sighed in the face of Elivier's bleak situation, slowly spoke. "What is happening now is actually that the Olive family has evicted Orlan after taking on her debts...... So what do you think of the Olivi family?"

"I, I, I don't know ...... way"

Eliver who raised his head looked dazed and helpless, but at this time, the door of the study was slammed open, and Oran, who was full of anger, rushed in like the wind, and slapped it without hesitation when he came to Eliver, and roared angrily. "Ellivier, you bastard, how dare you ruin my reputation like this......" (To be continued......
