"Katisha, this is Skayas City, the academy city of the Principality of Purs. There are many colleges here. I attended a college here for two years a long time ago." After entering the city, Ryan kept asking Katisha
The introduction was the same as when I took Ketisha to visit other places before.
"I used to go to Paarl Comprehensive College, which was just an ordinary college. But now that I think about it, Paarl Comprehensive College must be more than simple, because the college's Dean Ruiden is an 8th-level great swordsman. It's a pity that I didn't have this back then.
In terms of knowledge, I only knew that the level 8 great swordsman was a big shot, but now I have been unable to break through the bottleneck. Only then did I realize how incredible the level 8 great swordsman was! I think that the entire general population
There are probably not many Level 8 Great Swordsmen in the Principality of Ers, but what is a bit strange now is why Dean Ruiden serves as the dean of an ordinary academy as a Level 8 Great Swordsman?" Ruian introduced as he introduced.
He lamented that if he had known how difficult it was to succeed as a level 8 swordsman like he does now, then Ruian would not have acted so unconcernedly and would have curried favor with Dean Riton.
Next, Ryan told some past events and some of the history of that year, but I don’t know whether he did it accidentally or intentionally. He did not mention Yasselin’s name, nor did he mention anything about Yasselin, although Ryan had told her before.
Ketisha told the story of Yasselin.
"I had two good friends in the academy back then, but they have probably left the academy now and don't know where they are. By the way, one of my friends' home is in Skayas City. I remember that his home runs an auction house.
Yes, if you go to his house to look for him, you will definitely be able to find him."
"This good friend of mine is called Helis. I usually call him Mr. He. He is very handsome. When I first met him, did I think of him as a girl?" Later, Ryan told the story about his conversation with Helis.
The scene of their new acquaintance made Ketisha burst into laughter.
Next, Ryan took Ketisha around the city. He did not take Ketisha back to Parr Comprehensive College to have a look. Instead, he went to the auction house run by Helis's family. Hearst Auction House.
The location of the Hearst Auction House is quite prominent, so Ryan, who had not been back for many years, could find it quickly without asking for directions. When Ryan drove his two-horse carriage that had traveled a lot of distance, he arrived at the door of the Hearst Auction House.
At that time, I was really shocked.
The auction house is so deserted!
The door of the auction house was wide open, and there were two waiters standing guarding the door. They both looked listless, as if they hadn't entertained guests for a long time. The auction house is located in a relatively prosperous street of Skayas City, and there are many people on the street.
Although the number of people coming and going could not be compared with that of the festival, it was still quite prosperous. However, with so many people coming and going, no one entered the Hearst Auction House.
"Has the business of Mr. He's auction house become bad?" This thought flashed through Ruian's mind. But he quickly denied it, "Probably not. The auction house should be so deserted when there is no auction."
Ryan got off the carriage and met Katisha who came out of the carriage. The two stood at the door of the Hearst Auction House and looked at the Hearst Auction House. They could easily tell that from the decoration at the door of the Hearst Auction House,
, although the place cannot be seen to be dilapidated, it is obvious that it has not been renovated for many years.
The two waiters guarding the door were also staring at Ryan and the two at this time. With their rich experience, they could see that Ryan and Ketisha had a good background. Although Ryan and Ketisha were dressed in ordinary clothes and did not look like nobles,
But the temperament displayed by the two people was not even comparable to those of the minor nobles. Furthermore, Ruian's two-horse carriage looked a bit old, but those with a discerning eye could see that the carriage was very practical and it was
Spend a lot of money to customize a special carriage for long distances.
The two waiters did not dare to neglect, and quickly calmed down their listless expressions. One of them came forward, saluted and said hello: "Hello, sir, what can I do for you?"
Ryan nodded and asked directly: "Is your young master Helis here?"
"Oh! I wonder what your name is, sir? What do you want from our master?" The waiter did not answer Ruian's words, but asked Ruian's purpose. This is normal. The waiter would not dare to reveal the whereabouts of Helis without asking clearly.
Ryan also did not answer the waiter's words, but was surprised and couldn't help asking: "Master? Is Helis in charge of the auction house now?"
"Yes, the old master retired last year and handed over the auction house to the young master." The waiter did not hide this question. Obviously, this answer is well known to everyone.
Ryan nodded, this is normal. After so many years, he and Helis have grown older, and it is time to stand alone.
"Please tell your boss that your old friend Ruian is here to find him."
"Please wait a moment." The waiter saluted and said respectfully, then turned around and went inside. Another waiter welcomed Ryan and Katisha into the auction house hall and entertained them.
Ruian came here once a long time ago. At that time, he was still worried about the high entrance fee, but now, he does not take the entrance fee as a thing at all. This shows how much Ruian has changed. Looking at the vaguely familiar layout in his memory
, Ruian was full of emotions. Then Ruian talked about his experiences at the auction house back then, as a way to reminisce about the past.
"Da da da..."
There was a sound of footsteps, and immediately a person rushed out from inside, stopped in front of Ruian, and shouted in great surprise: "Rian, you are back."
Ruian's changes were a bit big, but the most important thing was in his temperament. His appearance didn't change much, he still looked like an ordinary big guy. In contrast, Ruian was much more surprised, and he couldn't help but feel slightly
He shouted questioningly: "Master He?"
Indeed, Helis has changed a lot. The appearance that used to be so handsome that Ruian mistakenly thought he was a girl is no longer there. Now Helis has not grown much taller, but his figure is much stronger. In addition,
Slightly tanned
Skin has nothing to do with the word handsome. In addition, Harris's hair was combed back, revealing a shiny forehead with a faint trace of wrinkles. In addition, he had two small strands of mustache on his lips.
Looks very mature.
If Ryan hadn't been able to identify some of the past looks on Helis's face beforehand, he would never have been able to connect the mature man in front of him with the Helis whom he mistakenly thought was a girl.
"Of course I am Mr. He. You didn't expect that I have changed so much now, right? You can't treat me as a woman this time, right?" Helis couldn't help laughing when he saw Ryan's surprised look.
The two couldn't help but hug each other and then patted each other on the shoulders.
Suddenly, Harris noticed Ketisha next to Ryan and couldn't help but ask: "Ryan, who is this one?"
"Master He, let me introduce you. This is my fiancée, Ketisha." Then Ryan turned around and introduced to Ketisha, "Ketisha, this is my good friend, Helis."
"Hello, nice to meet you." Ketisha said hello with a smile, her movements and manners showed great grace.
Helis quickly saluted and said hello, then hit Ryan on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, I didn't expect you to find such a beautiful wife."
Ruian smiled and asked, "We haven't seen each other for so many years. Are you married?"
"Yes, I am married and have a two-year-old daughter." Helis said with some pride.
"Oh! Where are they? Quickly take us to see them."
Next, Helis took Ryan and Katisha behind the auction house and came to a small courtyard.
From the conversation, we learned that the Helis family had a manor elsewhere, but Helis, who had been managing the auction house, did not live in the manor, but lived nearby in the auction house.
Entering the small courtyard, Ryan and Ketisha met Helis's wife and daughter, and then everyone chatted happily.
That night, Ryan and Katisha stayed at Harris's home. After dinner, Harris found Ryan and Katisha and chatted about their experiences over the years.
After Ryan left Paarl Comprehensive College, Harris looked for Ryan for a long time, but finally couldn't find Ryan and had to give up. Next, Harris continued to study at Paarl Comprehensive College until a few years ago.
Helis's father called Helis back to manage the auction house. After that, Helis married a woman arranged by the family and gave birth to a daughter. Last year, Helis's father retired and handed over the auction house.
Take care of Harris.
"Master He, what level of swordsman are you now?" Ruian couldn't help but ask.
"I am now a level 4 swordsman, but I have too many things to do and have neglected my training. It is estimated that it will be difficult to advance in the future." Helis then asked, "Ryan, what about you? You are a level 6 swordsman, right?"
Obviously, Helis did not associate Ryan with Ryan, who was rumored to be making a fuss in the Kaoa Empire and Kata City, and only regarded Ryan as an ordinary swordsman.
Ruian nodded. It was hard for him to brag in front of his friends. Besides, his low-key personality meant that he would not show off.
Next, it was Ryan's turn to tell his experience. He described it very simply, just talking about where he had been. Even the history of his majesty in the Kauraya Empire was just mentioned in one sentence.
.
"By the way! What happened when the principality official issued a notice saying that you had killed someone, and also issued a warrant to arrest you?" Finally, Helis couldn't help but ask. He didn't know what happened back then.
After passing by, I heard various rumors and didn’t really believe them.
For a moment, Ryan didn't know how to answer. Finally, after thinking for a while, Ryan told in detail what happened with Yasselin. Many years have passed, and he now has Katisha, so he can be completely calm.
Recalling what happened back then. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
