Some young members of the Cheqi Family have already headed to the Northern Border Foot to take care of daily affairs.

Once the initial construction is complete, some of the elders from the Cheqi Family will gradually move there as well.

In the future, it is likely that the Cheqi Family will reside there for generations.

After all, compared to Wisteria Ridge, the abundance of resources and the concentration of free energy particles over there will be more beneficial for the wizardry practice of the family's descendants.

Even though the Cheqi Family has lived here for generations, they easily accept this change.

This is a great opportunity; not many forces in the Barren Land have the privilege of owning a piece of land over there.

Herag didn't stay long at Wisteria Ridge; he came to see the elders of the Cheqi Family, since it would be remiss not to visit after coming all the way to the Barren Land.

After leaving Wisteria Ridge, he planned to head to another place he had always wanted to visit, the Coleson Continent.

Herag had been away from the Coleson Continent for nearly thirty years, and he didn't realize how quickly that time had passed.

For a wizard, thirty years might be brief, but for ordinary people, it's almost half a lifetime.

He traveled by ship to get here, drifting on the sea for several months; this time, he wouldn't need a ship to return.

Over the years, Herag occasionally corresponded with Emil and had a general understanding of their current situation.

Emil and Melissa are still in the Norton Kingdom, and they had even given him an address in their letters.

Herag always remembered this address, and after crossing the sea, he arrived at the port he once departed from.

Misu held Herag's hand, curiously looking at this ordinary port, finding it hard to believe that Herag came from such a place.

There weren't even any official wizards around, not even a wizard apprentice; this was the first time Misu saw such a scene.

"Wizards are a rarity here; many people don't even know of their existence," Herag explained with a smile.

Misu nodded, having only read about other continents in some books; this was her first time traveling so far from home, and everything intrigued her.

Herag and Misu's presence quickly drew attention from the people around the port; their demeanor was very different from others.

Even their clothing was unusual, despite the ordinary style not drawing much attention.

But the material of their clothes was clearly unique, appearing smoother than silk, something many people had never seen.

The clothes Herag and Misu wore could be considered Witchcraft Artifacts, made with special casting materials, making them look quite different from ordinary garments.

He had forgotten about this detail, or he would have donned regular clothes to avoid attracting attention.

Herag took Misu into an inn, and after changing into ordinary clothes, they ventured out again.

"Where are we going?" Misu asked.

Herag thought for a moment; Emil's last letter mentioned they still lived in Swan City, though the exact place likely had changed, necessitating a search in the city.

Swan City was where the Nosentan Academy was located, and back then when the Baron's family perished, Melissa had fled with the remaining people to seek refuge with her teacher, Master Claude, arriving in Swan City.

As it happens, Herag was also a student of Master Claude, having learned some basic wizardry and the Sivir Language under him.

Master Claude, seeing Herag's potential, had taken him on as a student, hoping Herag might become a person of significance in the future.

However, nearly thirty years had passed in the blink of an eye, and Master Claude was likely no longer in this world; Herag didn't know what he could do for him now.

Upon arriving at the Coleson Continent, Herag didn't plan to act conspicuously.

This place was full of ordinary people, even a mere wizard apprentice was already a miraculous and mysterious existence to them.

If Herag were to reveal his Ancestral True Body, he would surely be worshipped as a god.

More importantly, this place held extra significance for Herag, and he didn't wish to disturb its peace.

Herag bought a carriage and hired a skinny old man as the driver, who took them to Swan City.

They arrived in Swan City at dusk, and Herag first found an inn to settle in before taking Misu to the place he had once lived.

It was a courtyard Melissa had once rented, where many people lived back then; Emil had formed an Adventurer Group with some castle guards willing to follow him, taking on various commissioned tasks.

However, when Herag reached the address Emil had mentioned, he found that the owner had changed, and upon inquiring about Emil, the new resident knew nothing, seemingly having just moved in.

Having not found them there, Herag decided to inquire at the Nosentan Academy, where he might find some news.

Early the next morning, Herag and Misu headed to the Nosentan Academy.

To enter the Nosentan Academy now required a registration, so Herag explained that he was visiting friends and wanted to find Miss Melissa.

The academy guard searched for a long time but couldn't find Miss Melissa, later informing them of a linguistics professor named Melissa.

Herag suddenly realized that thirty years later, the once young Miss Melissa was now nearing fifty.

After confirming with Herag that he was indeed looking for Professor Melissa, the guard went to notify her.

After waiting for a while, Herag heard hurried footsteps and turned to see a slightly plump middle-aged woman running quickly, surprisingly faster than the young guard.

"Herag!" Melissa immediately recognized Herag, who looked almost the same as he did thirty years ago, aside from the youthful innocence that had faded from his face, he remained as young as ever.

Herag also recognized Melissa, whose appearance had changed considerably, only faintly resembling her younger self.

"Melissa, long time no see," Herag said with a smile, feeling quite nostalgic.

Melissa excitedly approached, grasping Herag's hands and examining his appearance closely, before beginning to cry after a moment.

"What's wrong?" Herag asked hastily.

Melissa wiped her tears and smiled, "It's nothing, just that I never expected to see you again. Emil, the children, and I have all been well over the years, and seeing that you're okay puts my mind at ease."

"Where is Emil now?" Herag inquired.

Melissa replied, "He should be at the Knight Academy now. If he knows you're back, he would certainly be overjoyed!"
