After retiring, I became Loli’s magic mentor

Old friend... eh?

Ryan felt like laughing. Ten years had passed, and he not only didn't get older, but got younger.

As for Fina, she must be 40 years old now, right? She should have wrinkles on her face.

Don't bring up these things when you meet Fina, or you might get beaten by her.

— Ryan, come to my library.

At this moment, Alice's voice sounded in Ryan's mind.

Hearing this, Ryan's expression immediately became serious, and he handed Noah in his arms to Sajilier: "You guys can just walk around first, I have something to do and need to go to Alice's place."

"Ah."

Sajili nodded without asking any more questions.

A space crack opened, Ryan turned and stepped into it, and a small but warm library came into view.

When I walked to the back of the library, I saw Alice, wearing a robe, already waiting there.

After confirming the relationship, Alice became much more reserved and even knew how to wear clothes in this magical space.

Seeing Ryan coming, Alice lifted her hair curtain and said, "The door has been built. Whether you can get her approval again... depends on you."

Ryan nodded: "Let's get started."

Alice tapped her jade fingers lightly, and the next moment, a door appeared in front of Ryan.

A faint red light leaked through the crack in the door, and just looking at it made people feel cold.

Ryan took a deep breath, opened the door, looked at the deep red space at the door, and stepped into it.

His vision spun around, and when Ryan came to his senses, he found himself in a scarlet wasteland.

The sky was a terrifying blood red, and all around were inverted floating islands. Ryan had only been to this place once, but he still remembered it clearly.

——The road to hell.

That's right, Ryan came here for Cerberus.

According to Alice, the key to hell, that is, the black sword, after losing its owner, will return to the gate of hell, waiting for the next person who wants to be recognized.

Ryan walked forward along the only road, and soon, a huge door engraved with countless ancient patterns appeared in Ryan's sight.

Standing in front of this huge door, Ryan felt as small as an ant.

However, there is another equally tiny object in the giant gate - a black sword.

Ryan took a step forward and held the black sword carefully in his hand. A familiar feeling came over him, making him feel full of strength.

No wonder Weir always talks about her sword rack. Now she is probably really inseparable from this sword.

After holding the black sword in his hand again, the gate of hell slowly opened. Behind the gate of hell, there was still the voice that Ryan was very familiar with.

Looking at the three-headed hellhound in front of him, Ryan smiled and said, "Cerberus, long time no see."

Cerberus looked at Ryan with disdain and said coldly: "For me, ten years is just a short moment."

"If it was just a brief moment, why do you remember it so clearly?"

Ryan's words made Cerberus fall into silence.

Yes, it was just a brief moment, why... do I remember it so clearly?

"Cerberus, Hedley... has fallen."

Looking at Cerberus, Ryan said slowly: "Now, I need to confront the Demon King again, so I need your strength."

"You came to me just because you need my strength to fight the Demon King?"

Cerberus asked back.

Ryan shook his head: "Not only that, I also hope that you can stay by my side instead of guarding behind this cold door all the time."

——Cerberus, you must be lonely guarding here all the time, right?

Ryan could see that Cerberus's cold look was completely forced.

In Ryan's eyes, Cerberus at this moment was like an abandoned puppy, hiding himself with a ferocious expression.

Seeing Cerberus silent, Ryan continued: “Cerberus, come with me, this time, I will not abandon you.

Even if something unexpected happens, I will try my best to come back here and meet you again, and I will never leave you alone."

Listening to Ryan's sincere words, Cerberus slowly closed his eyes...six eyes.

After a while, Cerberus slowly crouched on the ground, and the three dog heads also lowered their heads:

"I will obey your will, my master."

As Cerberus finished speaking, his huge figure turned into red mist and entered the black sword in Ryan's hand.

Although the black sword was still cold, Ryan seemed to feel warmth being released from it.

Gently patting the scabbard of the black sword, Ryan smiled faintly and said:

"Come on, Cerberus, let's go home."

After saying that, Ryan turned around and left the gate of hell.

The gate of hell also slowly closed.

What Ryan didn't notice was that behind the gradually closing gate of hell, there was nothing at this moment!

When Ryan walked out of hell again, the first thing he saw was Alice who had been waiting there.

Seeing the black sword in Ryan's hand, Alice breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that you have successfully brought her back."

Ryan gently stroked the scabbard with a gentle expression: "I am the one who has let her down in this matter. It's really great that she is willing to come out with me."

"It's not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame the devil."

Alice sighed, "Okay, get out now, it's getting dark outside, and everyone is waiting for you to attend the celebration party."

"What, it's dark already?"

Ryan was startled and quickly ran out of Alice's space library and came outside.

"Lord!"

"Teacher Ryan!"

As soon as he came out, Yazhi and Nemituya rushed over, hugged Ryan from the left and right, and dragged Ryan away:

"The celebration party has already begun, come quickly!"

Ryan smiled helplessly and followed the two women towards the celebration party.

This celebration party was hosted by Futini herself. After breaking through the environment of the elven settlement, Futini's haggard state had obviously improved a lot.

Everyone had a great time that night, and Yazhi even got drunk.

After the celebration banquet, Ryan felt a little drunk. He drowsily carried Yazhi to the house where he was temporarily staying in the border city. After putting Yazhi on the bed, he collapsed beside her and soon fell asleep.

"..."

"A rustling--"

Ryan didn't know how long he had slept when he was awakened by a noise and felt his body was a little heavy.

Ryan opened his eyes blearily and looked down.

The next moment, Ryan suddenly became alert and almost sober.

Seeing Yazhi with red cheeks, his ears were shaking, and he was clumsily unbuttoning his pants...
