Noting Village is hidden in the mountains and forests. Although it is remote and barren, it can be regarded as a quiet paradise in a sense.

Because Xiu, the son of destiny, was by his side, Lu Kai thought that life would be full of ups and downs, but he didn't expect that the first few years passed smoothly.

Occasionally, young mercenaries came and went from Notting Village, bringing back some outside news. Lu Kai listened carefully, but found no traces from it. It seemed that the outside world was also peaceful and peaceful.

"What are you thinking about?" Eli looked at Xiu outside, but pushed the fruit plate in front of him.

His juvenile facial features have grown, and he has begun to take on the handsome outline of an adult, with a bit of the childishness of a teenager remaining.

Lu Kai's appearance is unique in Notting Village. He has a good proportion, tall and long legs, tall and handsome, but compared to the height of strong warriors, he is at least half a head shorter.People here don't understand the characteristics of oriental appearance, they only think that his facial features are softer than ordinary people, and he looks good-tempered, especially when he smiles, it always makes people feel like a spring breeze.

No matter how well groomed, Lu Kai's appearance looks a little stunted in the eyes of the villagers of Notting Village, and they always suspect that it is the fault of Caroline's dark cooking.

But Xiu, who grew up with him, didn't have this problem at all.

Xiu was tall, muscular, with deep brows and eyes, and chiseled, handsome and aggressive.Even if he occasionally shows a silly smile, no one will think he is stupid anymore, and when he is not smiling, he is already intimidating, making people think he is very imposing.

Thinking of the growing difference between the two, the brothers were very heartbroken.

After Lu Kai finished eating the fruit, he casually threw the core towards Xiu.

Shatou, who was facing him with his back, didn't look back, and raised his hand to see a tiny lightning bolt, easily smashing the fruit core into pieces.

"Tsk." Lu Kai curled his lips, a little emotional.

The Son of Destiny is the Son of Destiny after all, Xiu's talent is astonishingly high, and he has entered the ranks of great magicians in just a few years.After all, Lu Kai is too lazy. Although he has gradually unlocked several abilities obtained in fast travel missions, but now if he doesn't use some skills, he can no longer bully his stupid brother like before.

Eli asked him again amusedly: "What's the matter with you, are you in a bad mood? Can't bear to leave home?"

Lu Kai leaned back and leaned comfortably on the couch.

He has used this couch for five or six years, because every time he came to class, he was lazy to sleep, and it was really uncomfortable to lie on the table.Eli reluctantly made the chair according to his request, and covered it with an animal skin blanket to ensure that he could sleep comfortably for most of the day every time he came.

"A little bit." Lu Kai's expression was still lazy, but his eyes were clear, "I'm still a little worried."

"worry about what?"

"The past few years have been too quiet, and I'm afraid that once I leave here, troubles will catch up one after another." Lu Kai glanced at Xiu outside, he still didn't know his fate, "Stinky boy It’s grown a lot, but I’m worried it’s not enough.”

Eli's face was calm, "You worry too much. Xiu is not a fragile person, he can withstand a little setback, the more you protect him, the harder it will be for him to deal with problems alone in the future."

Lu Kai pulled the animal skin blanket over his face annoyed, "Of course I know these truths!"

When doing missions before, what storms and setbacks did he not experience with the protagonists?But Xiu is different, he is Lu Kai's younger brother who has grown up with him, and it is no exaggeration to say that he was raised as a son.

He understands the reasoning, but caring makes chaos. How can you really let go if you let go?

"It's useless to think about it now, you should think about Li Village."

Both of them have reached the age of eighteen and have officially become independent adults. According to the habits of Notting Village, it's time for them to leave the village and go out for a while.

Lu Kai seemed to hear some deep meaning from Eli's words, and instinctively told him that this bad old man was plotting against him again, so he narrowed his eyes and warned, "What are your plans?"

Eli smiled slightly, with a very innocent look, "You think too much."

Back then, there were four people who went to Lude City to test their talent, but this year they were the only brothers who left the village.

Vera moved to Lude City early and studied with an old magician. Last year, she got engaged to another student of the old magician, and her parents were also taken away.

As for Cody, the goddess he had a crush on was getting farther and farther away from him, and he left the village after blessing Vera in dejection.Originally, adults disagreed when he was under the age, but it happened that Abel came back last year and said that Cody was about the same age and could take him into the mercenary group to take care of him, so Cody left a year early.

When Cody left, Xiu was full of envy, wishing to pack up and go together, but was suppressed by the joint efforts of Caroline, Luca and Eli.

At that time, Lu Kai curiously asked Xiu how he felt when he learned that Vera was getting married.

At that time, Xiu said with a blank face, of course he wished her well.

Lu Kai looked at him for a long time, and he was sure that this silly boy didn't know anything, so he made fun of him and didn't point it out.

These days their classes ended early, Lu Kai got up yawning, and went home with Xiu.

Caroline is cooking dinner in the kitchen. For her now, going out to hunt occasionally, watering the vegetable patch at the door, and then busy with three meals a day is a fulfilling day.

No matter how terrible Caroline's dark cooking was, neither of them could deprive her of her source of happiness.But now Lu Kai can also help out in the kitchen. It's not because of his culinary skills that conquered Caroline and made her wake up, but because of Gun Gun's unremitting efforts to please.

Gun Gun eats all meals in their house, his body is rounder than before, his weight has also doubled, and it is solid, so heavy that most people can no longer hold it with one hand.

Of course, Caroline is not an ordinary person. As soon as Lu Kai entered the room, he saw her holding Chubby Roll in one hand and waving a long-handled spoon in the other, very busy.

"Mom, I'll help you." Lu Kai rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen, "Put the roll down, it's fatter now, and it's very tiring to hold it."

Caroline said nonchalantly: "I'm not tired, are you the same as you when I'm an old lady? Look at your little arms and legs, and then look at me!"

The corner of Lu Kai's mouth twitched, he lowered his head to choose the dishes, and simply stopped talking.

It's tears to say, the female men in Notting Village are all muscular, not inferior to the elders, Lu Kai has deeply felt it from the first day.Their muscles are like iron, and they are more powerful than the other, but he, a stunted boy, looks weak, pitiful and helpless no matter how he stays in the village.

The long-handled round spoon draws an arc, and it is precisely placed on the side plate, and a piece of wilted vegetables is fried.

Lu Kai asked softly, "Mom, did you put salt?"

Caroline recalled for a second, and said firmly: "It must be released!"

Lu Kai was speechless: OK, I know you forgot to put salt again.

Caroline kept stir frying, and took the time to ask him: "Have you two decided, and when are you leaving?"

Lu Kai paused, "Just these two days."

"What about these two days, those two days." Caroline was full of impatience, "You two, how long have you been talking about it! Pack my luggage for me after dinner, and ask your uncle to see you off tomorrow morning After a journey, if you don’t make a name for yourself, you won’t come back.”

The melancholy and reluctance in Lu Kai's heart were completely dispelled, leaving only a heartache.

Come on, my mother has already spoken, and the two of them can't wait any longer, otherwise Caroline can just throw them out.

Feelings like sentimentality seem to never have anything to do with Caroline, she has always been so busy, and she lives extraordinarily free and easy.Lu Kai thought that occasionally he should learn from Caroline and be more decisive. No matter how much you worry, you will have to face it sooner or later. Why not let nature take its course.

After dinner, Lu Kai stuffed some of the things he had packed into the storage ring for training, and some of them were packed in a bag, so that the two of them would not be separated midway, and he still had some emergency things.

Not long after packing up, he heard Caroline calling them out outside.

Caroline was sitting at the old wooden table, with Sleepy Roll in her arms, the light of the oil lamp shining on the tub in front of her.She lowered her head slightly and stared at the wooden tub with a dazed expression. She waved to them after a long while: "Everyone, come here and show you something."

Lucy was no stranger to this wooden basin. He and Xiu floated down the river in this wooden basin more than ten years ago.In the tub are still the swaddling clothes that were wrapped and repaired at that time. Caroline has kept these things carefully and has not taken them out until now.

Lu Kai glanced at the ignorant Xiu, and sat down quietly.

"Look at this." Caroline pushed the wooden basin in front of them, and recalled: "When I picked you up from the river, you were sitting in this wooden basin, and everything on your body was here. have a look."

Xiu was stunned from the first sentence she said, his tall body stood there stiffly, his whole body was full of bewilderment.There weren't many things in the wooden basin, Lu Kai uncovered the somewhat old swaddle, and saw three things covered under it.

One is a small piece torn from the fabric, with Xiu's name written on it, but the surname is not on it, which seems to be deliberately taboo; the other is a golden token-shaped object, the size of Lukai's palm, the front It is some kind of rune, with a strange pattern on the back; at the end is a huge aquamarine, the color of the eyes, it is inlaid between pearls and gemstones, and there is a small irregular broken pattern at the bottom, which seems to be hurriedly drawn from something. Something was broken off.

After he finished reading, he pushed things to Xiu, and Xiu was still staring at Caroline dully.

Caroline said: "I guess these things should be left to you by your biological parents, Hugh."

Xiu repeated blankly: "My, biological...parents?"
