Almost immediately after Glen left, the team of police officers led by Dogli rushed into the scene.

"This is truly astonishing..."

"Don't just stand there! Hurry up and check if these children are all right!"

"Captain, what should we do with this huge creature?"

"What else can we do? Leave it here, of course, and let the professionals handle it!"

Dogli issued one instruction after another, keeping every police officer busy. The scene was chaotic yet orderly.

"Did you do this?......" Dogli glanced into the distance and murmured softly to himself.

...

Moving silently across the rooftops of one house after another, Glen soon returned to his deer - drawn cart.

He tidied up his slightly disheveled hair. Only when he was sure that his hairstyle wasn't too conspicuous did he drive away.

This battle had piqued his interest in magic even more, much like how a novice gamer feels when they see the cool characters and skills of an experienced player.

Perhaps when I learn magic, I could combine it with technology. I wonder what would happen?

As he fantasized, the deer - drawn cart had already left the town of Dude.

A familiar scent brought Glen's thoughts to a halt.

He looked ahead and saw three carriages, a common sight in the town.

Two of the carriages were loaded with furniture and other items.

This is... a move?...... Glen guessed the purpose of this convoy and thus increased the speed of his cart to catch up.

As he passed the frontmost carriage, Glen indeed saw someone he knew.

Lila looked preoccupied and didn't notice Glen. Her mother, Mrs. Deli, was also inattentive.

"Miss Lila, are you moving out?" Glen asked in a rather loud voice.

"Ah!" Startled by the sudden question, Lila was relieved to see that it was Glen. She patted her chest and showed a hint of surprise."Mr. Glen, long time no see."

Mrs. Deli beside her also smiled and greeted Glen,"Nice to see you again, Mr. Glen. I'm ashamed that I didn't have the chance to thank you in person for saving our lives last time."

Glen first nodded at Lila and then said to Mrs. Deli,"Just call me Glen. I'm only in my early twenties."

Mrs. Deli readily agreed.

"Are you moving?" Glen repeated his previous question.

The mother and daughter exchanged a glance and both slightly faded their smiles.

"We... due to some special reasons, have to leave, Mr. Glen," Lila said, forcing a smile.

"Is it because of your father?" Glen asked bluntly.

Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

At the mention of the word"father," both Lila and Mrs. Deli seemed to recall some painful memories, and their faces turned slightly pale.

Glen could roughly understand the trauma an extremely unqualified father could bring to a family. So, he softened his tone and said,

"If that's the case, then you don't need to worry anymore. The police officers have already dealt with those criminals. Your father has probably been arrested or executed. I received the news just as I was leaving the town."

He said"arrested or executed" because Glen wasn't sure if her father was among the people he had defeated.

Even if he wasn't, without the protection of the giant worm, that scoundrel named Bob couldn't possibly escape the pursuit of the Dude town police officers.

After all, they had already deployed their forces throughout the town.

"Is this true?!" The mother and daughter exclaimed in unison, even startling the coachman.

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you can go back to the town and see for yourselves. Many children have been found and are waiting for their parents to claim them."

This news undoubtedly brought great joy to the mother and daughter. Tears welled up in their eyes. They took turns to say to the coachman,

"Mr. Pickman, please turn around. Yes, we want to go back and have a look."

The coachman, who seemed to be familiar with them, didn't object to this unreasonable request. He signaled his companions on the two carriages behind and turned around to head back.

"Mr. Glen, thank you for telling us this news. Otherwise, we would have regretted it deeply," Lila said, more excited than ever before. She kept bowing to Glen.

"So, you're not moving now?" Glen said jokingly.

Lila's face visibly flushed, and she expressed her gratitude once more before the carriage drove away.

Glen also continued to drive his cart home.

Today, he encountered two residents of Bayek on the road. The original owner's memories contained impressions of these two individuals.

Both were dressed in old - fashioned, worn - out clothing, and their demeanor was as gloomy as that of a black crow.

However, since they were not acquainted, they walked on in silence, each going their own way.

As soon as Glen entered the town of Bayek, he noticed the carriage that stood out with its unusual style, as well as an unfamiliar fragrance in the air.

Seeing that the carriage was parked in front of the old man's house, he surmised that the occupants might be acquaintances of the old man, so he didn't feel overly alarmed.

The person inside the carriage seemed to sense Glen's presence as well. A tall and stylish figure emerged from it.

It was naturally Deffa.

She scrutinized Glen from head to toe with undisguised curiosity, as if observing some rare and exotic creature.

Feeling a bit uncomfortable, Glen called out from a distance,"Are you an acquaintance of the old man?"

"Old man?" Deffa was momentarily taken aback, then she covered her mouth and laughed."Hehe... Is that how you usually refer to him? That's rather impolite."

"It's just easier to say, and he doesn't seem to mind..."

As he spoke, Glen had already approached the beautiful lady."So, you really are his acquaintance?"

Observing the lady's graceful charm and her mage's robe, Glen vaguely remembered that mages often had long lifespans. Could it be... he speculated, and couldn't help but ask,"Are you an old flame of his?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Deffa produced a magic wand and lightly tapped Glen on the head.

She said, displeased,"Do I look that old?"

Glen scratched the place where he was hit and laughed, "Isn't it common for an old cow to eat young grass?"

"Old cow eats young grass?" Defa was the first to hear such a metaphor, and then he laughed without caring about his manners, with tears coming out, "Hahahaha... You are really a very unique little guy. I have lived for so many years and this is the first time I have encountered..."

Er... Glen hadn't expected that this lady mage would have such a low sense of humor. Initially, she had given him the impression of a serious teacher.

"The old man isn't at home? Would you like to come and have a seat at my place?" Glen glanced at the old man's house and then extended an invitation to Deffa.

After laughing for a while, Deffa nodded slightly.

The two of them went to Glen's house together.

As soon as he pushed open the door, the little maid, Tia, immediately stepped forward to curtsy."Mr. Glen, you're back."

Glen waved his hand."All right. Let me introduce you. This is..."

He suddenly realized that he didn't know the lady's name. He turned around, a bit embarrassed, and whispered,"How should I address you?"

"Call me Lady Deffa. But you don't need to introduce me to her, because we've already met," Deffa said, winking at Tia.

"Is that so?" Glen looked at Tia with a puzzled expression.

Tia nodded vigorously and briefly recounted what had happened in the morning.

After listening, Glen said irritably,"That old man really never changes. He still has the nerve to barge into my house without permission."
