"Master, are you leaving so soon? Stay for dinner tonight. Your room has always been kept for you. We have been cleaning it and haven't touched anything inside," Ed said.

He truly couldn't bear Herag leaving so quickly, thinking it would be nice if he at least stayed for a meal.

Herag glanced at the houses behind and said, "Haven't you moved in? Why are you still living in the house next door? Isn't it a waste to leave that one empty?"

The courtyard consisted of three houses: one was an annex, another was the house Herag used for magic potion refining, and the largest one, akin to a small villa.

But now the largest house, though clean and tidy, showed no signs of being lived in.

Everything inside was as it was before, as if it had never changed.

"That's the master's room, and Ed shouldn't live in it. The annex is quite good, and it's not crowded for our family," Ed said.

He was already very content and didn't crave more.

For him, having an annex to live in was already an immense blessing.

Moreover, having such a large courtyard—there were few ordinary families in Ryan City with such a big yard.

With such a courtyard, house, a blacksmith shop, a wife, and children, Ed felt like the happiest person under the sky.

He was very content.

Herag thought for a moment and said, "Living in the annex might be suitable now, but when your three children grow up, this place won't be big enough. When your children have children, it'll be a large family. I'm giving this entire courtyard to you. If you don't move in, the house lacks vitality. Trust me, move in sooner."

"This..." Ed hesitated.

"How about this," Herag thought and said, "I used to live on the top floor of the house. You don't have to live on that floor, but you should at least live on the two floors below."

"Alright, I will follow the master's advice." Since Herag said so, Ed had to agree.

In the end, Herag decided to stay for the night and set off for the West Coast the next day.

Ed was naturally very happy and drove the carriage to pick up Judy and the children, buying some food to entertain Herag along the way.

Herag looked around the courtyard and felt a bit nostalgic as if it were a past life.

Back then, he was just a second-class wizard apprentice who came here for Moonstone Grass.

In the blink of an eye, he was now a Level 2 Wizard.

When he lived here, even the thought of becoming a Level 1 Wizard was unimaginable, and who could have thought he would come this far.

Herag walked into the house where he often refined magic potions and found that although the floor was clean, there was a lot of dust in the room, clearly showing it hadn't been visited for a long time.

However, there were some messy little footprints on the floor, obviously children's, likely Ed's son had been here.

For a child, a place designated as forbidden territory often stirs greater curiosity, so he probably sneaked in.

Herag had taken everything related to magic potion refining with him when he left, leaving nothing behind.

But the table still bore faint marks, remnants from his previous potion refinements.

Herag, after seeing the potion refining room, returned to the house where he once lived.

Visiting an old place brought forth many emotions.

At dinner time, Judy was busy in the kitchen.

Herag sat at the head of the long table, with Ed and his two sons sitting beside the table.

Originally, Ed insisted on not taking a seat, but at Herag's request, he joined the table.

Herag felt a little speechless about dining alone while others just watched.

Soon enough, dishes were served, and they started eating.

Judy never joined the meal, using the excuse of taking care of their little son and eating at the side.

During the meal, Ed's two sons occasionally glanced curiously at Herag, finding him quite interesting.

They had listened countless times to Ed's tales of how great and benevolent this master was.

But when they finally met him, they found he didn't look much older than themselves.

The dining table was quiet; Herag didn't talk, so the others didn't dare to speak either.

Ed, however, enjoyed the moment, quietly eating his meal.

Herag thought Ed might have requests, but until the meal ended, Ed asked for nothing, showing he indeed just wanted Herag to have dinner.

Most people at this time would probably ask for favors concerning their children, hoping Herag could help tutor or mentor them.

In those years, Ed surely learned what being a wizard meant and often heard tales of wizards while drinking and boasting with city residents.

Whenever hearing those tales, Ed would smile inwardly.

"You are just listening to stories, but I truly followed a powerful wizard master," he thought, having never mentioned it to others or used it as a means to boast.

During dinner, Herag observed Ed's eldest and second sons, and confirmed neither had any aptitude for wizardry.

In ordinary families, having someone with wizardry potential is extremely rare, especially if both parents are ordinary. The probability is minuscule.

After dinner, Herag went over to Judy.

Judy was holding her little son, feeding him something akin to porridge.

The little guy wasn't afraid when Herag approached. He merely widened his eyes and stared at Herag since he had never seen him before.

Herag looked at the little one, silent for a moment.

He noticed many free energy particles naturally gathering and floating around the child, a sign indicating wizard potential.

The specific aptitude was unclear, needing testing for confirmation.

But it certainly met the threshold to enter the wizardry realm.

"What's his name?" Herag suddenly asked.

Realizing something, Ed's voice trembled with excitement, "Davin! His name is Davin!"

Herag thought for a moment and took out a ring from his space ring.

This ring was a demonized item called the Ring of the Wind Elf, enchanted with a Level 0 spell to enhance one's agility.

Herag hadn't used this ring for a long time, as at his current level its speed boost was trivial.

By the time the Ring of the Wind Elf was activated, he might have died several times over in a battle.

Herag handed the Ring of the Wind Elf to Davin after taking it out.

Being young, Davin didn't understand what it was. He instinctively took it with his chubby little hands and held it tightly.
