Emil is now a renowned Great Knight, famous throughout the Norton Kingdom, highly esteemed.

Over the years, Emil went from being a small adventurer group's leader to establishing his own influence and reputation through various experiences.

Nowadays, he no longer ventures as an adventurer but has founded a Knight Academy dedicated to training future knights.

Emil has naturally endured many hardships to reach where he is today, encountering numerous troubles and dangers.

However, he never sought help from Herag, only speaking of trivial family matters in their correspondence, never asking for anything from Herag.

Even though Emil knew that many of his troubles wouldn't even faze Herag, he still didn't want to bother him and resolved to solve what he could on his own.

Though he never actively sought help from Herag, Melissa did leverage Herag's influence at times.

Melissa, a long time ago, subtly hinted that her family had a wizard. Since it was indeed true and verifiable, many people knew of it.

Many, when in conflict with Emil, would be wary of the Herag backing him, and thus dared not act recklessly.

Over the years, even though Herag never appeared, he invisibly cleared many troubles for Emil's family.

Moreover, Emil is not arrogant by nature, never initiating conflicts, allowing him to repeatedly avert dangers these years.

"And who might this be?" Melissa asked after exchanging greetings with Herag, her eyes lighting up as she looked at Misu beside them.

Herag introduced briefly, and upon learning that Misu was also a wizard, Melissa was a bit surprised.

This was because Misu's attire completely concealed the fact that she was a wizard, differing from Melissa's imagined image of a wizard.

In Melissa's mind, wizards were always mysterious and powerful, making it difficult to associate this beautiful lady, Misu, with a wizard.

Emil's Knight Academy is named Dur Valley Knight Academy, located right in Swan City.

When Herag heard the words Dur Valley, he was somewhat dazed. This place was once Baron Buck's territory; who would have thought Emil used this name for his Knight Academy.

The three of them chatted as they walked, arriving outside the Knight Academy.

Herag could hear shouting from inside from afar, as if a group were exercising.

He expanded his perception and saw a group in the training ground ahead swinging swords, practicing the most basic swordsmanship postures.

These people were very young, appearing to be just eleven or twelve years old.

"These are Knight Apprentices sent from nearby towns, many even coming from very remote small towns, hoping to one day become Official Knights," Melissa explained.

In front of these kids stood a young man, looking about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, watching the training kids and occasionally correcting their movements.

When Herag saw this young man, he almost thought he saw Emil.

But upon second thought, with so many years having passed, Emil couldn't possibly be so young anymore.

"Mother, why have you come!" The young man turned to see Melissa and the others approaching, and he ran over, both happy and surprised.

Usually, Melissa would be at Nosentan Academy at this time, and it was rare for her to come looking for him at this time.

"Eric, aren't you going to greet your godfather, Herag?" Melissa pulled over her son and said.

"Godfather?" Eric looked at Herag. Staring at this excessively youthful man, he couldn't imagine this person being the Herag his parents had often mentioned.

Eric was momentarily stunned but quickly understood. Wizards being so powerful and mysterious, maintaining youthfulness was naturally normal, and he promptly began to salute.

"Looks just like Emil," Herag slowly said with a smile.

Eric grinned, scratching the back of his head. Although Herag seemed very young, he indeed gave him a sense of an elder.

Herag noticed that Eric was already an Official Knight, with excellent knightly aptitude, much like Emil in the past.

Due to Herag and company's arrival, Eric handed over the teaching duties to others and entered the back of the Knight Academy with them to find Emil.

Before Herag and the others reached the backyard, Emil had already sensed the commotion and came out ahead of time, exchanging a distant glance with Herag before smiling.

Emil now had a stubbly face filled with a weathered look, but his eyes were bright, somewhat reminiscent of Baron Buck in the past.

Herag sensed a strange energy in Emil's body, confirming beyond doubt he was indeed a Great Knight.

But he frowned slightly, seemingly noticing something unusual.

"Herag, I knew you'd never age; you're still so young. I told Melissa earlier that we might meet again when I'd already be an old man like Old Henry," Emil laughed heartily.

Mentioning Old Henry also made Herag nostalgic for the old man.

If not for Old Henry lending him a bow and introducing him to Emil, perhaps none of these subsequent events would have occurred.

Herag chuckled, "Didn't expect your kids to be this grown; lucky I returned early, or I might not recognize you when you truly become an old man."

After meeting with Herag and the others, they naturally set off to head home, leaving the Knight Academy temporarily.

Emil's family bought a large estate in Swan City, a considerable size, regarded as a prominent household in Swan City.

Upon Herag's inquiry, he learned Emil already had five children, three sons, two daughters, and two grandsons.

Eric had already married and given Emil two grandsons.

Herag hadn't expected Emil to be a grandfather already; the progress was quite swift.

However, calculating the ages made sense, Emil nearing fifty years, and people here marrying early, becoming grandfathers was normal.

After Herag's arrival, the estate's kitchen became busy, preparing for the dinner banquet.

Herag and others gathered together, engaging in lively conversation.

Even after many years apart, once Herag and Emil began talking, they didn't stop, with no sense of any estrangement.

While chatting with Emil and Melissa, Herag's tales were listened to by Eric and the other descendants, silently absorbing stories of various adventures.

To them, the Kala Continent was an extremely distant place, only heard of, visited solely by the most experienced old sailors.

For most people on the Coleson Continent, they'd rarely have any chance to visit other continents, making everything there intriguing and new to them.
