Chapter 754： distance (1/2)

family……

When she heard this familiar and unfamiliar word, Mary suddenly felt a little hesitant.

It wasn't until a few seconds later that she slowly remembered that she did tell her mentor her decision the other day and she wanted to see her family.

The young female mage pursed her lips and looked at her mentor hesitantly: "They are ..."

"Just upstairs in the living room," Daniel stared at Mary with yellowed eyes. "You'd better clean it up and especially your hair."

"OK ... OK."

Mary promised hurriedly, and then left the basement where the immersion tank was placed with some unwillingness. She returned to the first floor, entered the public bathroom, reached out and opened the water valve, and watched the clear water supplied by the magic pump from the metal pipe. The sound of flowing water calmed her down.

Her family members.

She couldn't remember what it was like when she left the house ... An ignorant little girl followed the older children to "explore" in the mountains, separated from her partners after the night, and stepped in The ancient tower of the magician has since changed her life and has cut off her connection with her family. Now, more than ten years have passed, and her childhood memories have long been obscured and weathered. The only impression she can still remember about "home", There seemed to be only a low, old house with a leaky wind, a dim lantern hanging from the doorway, and bedtime stories that scared children.

Unfortunately, in those thrilling bedtime stories, there is a lot of content about the black wizard, about the castle, about the monsters in the mountains and the magical slaves, which have become a reality in her ten years of life.

The water was flowing, and Mary held cold water and slapped it on her face.

She couldn't remember what her parents looked like, but she still wanted to see them.

Leaving the bathroom, the young female mage's mood gradually calmed down. She saw that her mentor had been standing in the corridor, stared at her face expressionlessly, and saw herself appearing. The old mage in black robe just nodded, They walked silently in the direction of the living room.

Mary followed closely.

They came to the living room door, and a servant immediately stepped forward and opened the door of the living room for the master.

Mary saw the sight in the living room.

The fireplace was burning quietly on one side of the living room. The red light from the fire was shining on the nearby copper rack. The dark red couch was placed in the center of the living room. A pair of dirty grey cloth jackets and hair had been worn. The old couple with gray and wrinkled faces are sitting on the sofa.

They were sitting very carefully, most of their bodies were outside the sofa, as if they were afraid to stain the luxurious furnishings here.

It seems that the mentor only brought her parents, but not her sister.

The old couple on the sofa also saw the people appearing at the door. They stood up almost instantaneously, showing an awe and charming smile to Daniel, and then they saw Mary standing behind Daniel. At this moment, they separated After more than ten years, the family finally met.

Mary stared at the old couple, watched their turbid eyes turn, her gaze fell on her robe, watched their humility and awe expression slowly, and watched them slowly bend down.

This series of actions is like conditioning.

"Dear Master Mage." She heard the couple calling themselves so.

Mary was a little overwhelmed. She heard Daniel speak next to her, with a cold tone: "This is your daughter, you don't have to salute."

The old couple stood up and looked at Mary with a hint of surprise, but there was still obvious tension in the surprise. Mary didn't know what she felt at the moment. Her lips moved a few times before she finally got out of her lips. Squeeze out: "Father, mother ..."

It uses very standard, civic-style pronunciation, and the words are more solemn, upper-level titles because no matter what her life in the past ten years, her tutor is always from the capital, with Zoran knowledge and education High-level mage, under the tutor's door, she has not learned other ways of speaking.

The rural habits she had encountered in her childhood were already blurred in her mind.

The old couple seemed to be stunned after hearing Mary's title to them, and then nodded cautiously, repeating dryly: "OK, OK, OK ..."

After everyone sat down on a few sofas, the living room quickly became awkwardly quiet.

Mary struggled to think about what she should say to ease the atmosphere, and it took a long time to organize the complete sentence: "At home ... are you all right?"

"Okay, okay ... enough food," the man with a hunched back nodded. "Are you okay? Is there enough food?"

"... I have nothing to worry about," Mary said awkwardly. "Do you ... still live in the country now?"

"Where can I go?" Said the old woman with wrinkles. "The house and the ground are over there, and the cattle."

"How did you get here?"

"The Master Master sent us to take us over," said the old woman, taking a careful look at Daniel. "Our carriage, a large carriage."

Then she looked at the robe on Mary's body again, and couldn't help bringing a trace of awe in her eyes, as if the awe had been deeply imprinted in her bones, so long as she saw something similar, even if she knew the person in front With her own blood relative, she would also be nervous nervously: "You are now a mage ..."

"Yes, I'm about to reach the middle rank ..." Mary said, but she wasn't sure if the old couple in front of her could understand what the middle rank meant.

"Okay, you ... you are promising," the humpbacked man nodded again, with a charming smile, glanced at Daniel next to him, and then withdrew his gaze, "You were brought by Master Master It ’s your luck to go, your sister, your brother, you are out of luck ... ”

Fortunately ... Mary suddenly felt like she didn't know how to face the word.

The topics that can be used for conversation seem to be over quickly, or the topic does not exist from the beginning.

Mary felt more and more uncomfortable, and she believed the old couple in front of her.

They are strangers, blood related, but thousands of miles apart. They sit in a seemingly close place, trying to talk about topics that both sides can feel harmonious, but they can't even pretend to be.

Shortly after the second embarrassment and cold start, the old woman began to look at the door frequently, and her husband became more and more agitated. They did not know how to hide their emotions decently. Mary could see through them at a glance. Thoughts and feelings.

Sitting in this "luxury" place for so long, the old couple from the countryside has been sitting upset. They did not feel any joy in reuniting with their daughter from Mary. They were only because of the order of a master mage. Every minute they come here is a torture.

They occasionally glanced at Daniel, and there was even a begging look in that look.

Mary stood up.

"Just here," she whispered, "I ... have some magic experiments to do."

"Oh, oh, okay," the old woman stood up, "then ... then do your thing."

"Do you want to stay here for a few days?"

"No, no," the old woman waved her hands in a hurry. "The animals in the house still need to be looked after, and left to others for too long, we are not assured."
