Chapter 26
The recognition between Gildarts and Kanna was very touching. On the other side, the lonely Leila was bored waiting for Gildarts in the forest. She picked up a branch and poked it on the ground. She looked up to the sky and sighed:"How long do I have to wait? I really want to go back and see."
After the two recognized each other, the members of the guild couldn't believe that Gildarts, a natural and rough old man, actually had such a lovely daughter! However, they were more happy for the reunion of the father and daughter.
After all, when they saw Kanna coming to the guild alone before, everyone thought Kanna was an orphan. They couldn't help but feel pity and sympathy for the little girl's life experience. Who would have thought that Kanna's father was actually Gildarts?
The guild members knew that the two also needed space to be alone at this time, so they held a simple celebration ceremony in the guild and didn't disturb them afterwards.
Gildarts took Kanna back home and told her the story of himself and Kanna's mother Cornelia. After he married Cornelia, he was always busy with work and ignored Cornelia's feelings, which led to her leaving him. Gildarts had heard that she had left before, but he didn't know that they had a child. Gildarts said he was very sorry to Kana. Later
, Kana also told Gildarts that he learned about him from his mother's notes. Later, with the help of Father Brock, he embarked on a journey to find Gildarts. After that, he joined the guild and lived in the girls' dormitory. The dormitory head mother-in-law was also very good to her, and she also learned magic in the guild.
They talked for a long time at home. Both of them were telling each other's stories, but Gildarts was talking, and his guilt surged into his heart like a tide. Listening to Kana's unfortunate experience, Gildarts hugged her tightly, and Kana also hugged Gildarts tightly. Both of them were silent, quietly enjoying this rare moment.
Time passed quietly. Gildarts saw that it was getting late, and the man was still waiting for him in the East Forest. He had to fulfill his promise.
Although he was extremely reluctant, he still told Kana that he had things he had to do, and then promised Kana that he would be back soon and let her take good care of herself in the guild. At the same time, he brought Kana to the guild, paid the rent for the girls' dormitory for Kana, and asked Makarov to take good care of her.
Kana also waved goodbye to Gildarts, and said that she would take good care of herself and wait for him to come back.
Seeing Kana so well-behaved and sensible, Gildarts felt warm in his heart. He smiled, gently stroked Kana's head, said I'm leaving, then turned and left the guild, taking firm steps, and walked towards the direction of the East Forest."I have to speed up to complete the task, and then come back to accompany Kana." He said silently in his heart
"You are finally here, Gildarts"
"Um, let's go." Gildarts obviously heard the meaning and responded awkwardly
"OK, let's go, I've already bought the ticket"
"In that case, please tell me the purpose of your visit first."Gildarts doesn't know the specific mission of this help yet, and it will be difficult to deal with it without intelligence.
""Northern Territory, Deliora."
Hearing the word Deliora, Gildarts paused, then quickened his pace and followed closely, feeling a little excited. [This trip is really interesting, is it a demon?】
"By the way, what's your name? I haven't asked yet. I can't keep calling you that person."Gildarts suddenly realized that he didn't know the other person's name.
"Call me Sun."The answer was still concise and clear.
""Sun?" What a strange name. It's not as nice as the name of Master Gildarts. Gildarts stroked his beard and whispered the name. [With this name and such strength, there seems to be no such person in the Kingdom of Fiore.】
"Wait, are you going to take the bus like this?" Gildarts pointed at Sun's black windbreaker and the hooded jacket.
"I will show my true face before getting on the bus"
""Oh?" Gildarts looked at Sun with a smirk. He was very interested in Sun's true appearance.
After checking the ticket, Gildarts saw Sun's appearance. He was just an ordinary person, but his hair was quite unique. However, Sun put on a hood afterwards, which didn't give anyone a chance to remember him.
Gildarts took the ticket, glanced at the car number, and walked into the car. But as he walked, he noticed something strange. He looked back and found that Sun had walked into another car with a puzzled look on his face. Seeing this, Gildarts ran over and grabbed Sun.
"Wait, Sun, why are the compartments still separated?" he asked suspiciously.
"Well, I didn’t buy them together." Sun replied expressionlessly.
"Hmm? Really?"Gildarts looked at Sun with suspicion, as if he wanted to find a flaw in his face.
But Sun ignored Gildarts's suspicion and walked straight to his own carriage.
Looking at Sun's receding back, Gildarts hesitated to speak, and finally sighed, muttering to himself:"If you don't want to reveal your identity, just say it. I'm not the kind of person who likes to pry into other people's privacy. Why be so cautious?"
The two got on the train, found their own beds, and put down their luggage. After Sun packed his things, he sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the scenery outside the window, as if he was thinking about something. Unexpectedly, Gildarts swaggered across the carriage, came to Sun's side, sat down on his bed, and lay down
"What are you doing?" Sun asked somewhat dissatisfiedly.
"I came to chat with you and ask about the details of this incident."Gil'darts mainly wanted to know why Sun wanted to attack Deliora, as well as detailed information about Deliora.
"There are no details. Just go find it and kill it. It has lived long enough."Sun noticed that there were people on the beds around him, and Gildarts didn't say it clearly, so he made a quick decision and communicated with Gildarts through telepathy.
"Well, then you know where it is now, don't tell me you didn't find it and asked me for help."Gildarts thought this mission was quite interesting, but he still asked the key question.
"As far as I know, it is currently dormant in a snow cave. I don't know when it will come out to destroy the town, so we must take this opportunity to destroy it."Sun told Gildarts what he knew.
"Well, okay, but we'd better act as soon as possible."Gildarts said seriously.
"Are you a little anxious?"
"I have to go back quickly, Kana is still waiting for me."Kil'darts said, and he began to imagine Kana's figure in his mind, still calling her dad affectionately, and Gil'darts' eyes were full of love.
Sun didn't say a word, walked straight over and pushed Gil'darts off the bed, then lay down on it, turned around and closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to have any communication with Gil'darts.
Seeing this, Gil'darts also tactfully returned to his own carriage. It was late, and it was indeed time to go back and rest.
At this time, Leila had arrived at the terminal of this train. Due to the repeated use of teleportation magic, his magic power was too much, but he still took the time to rent a carriage and rushed to the town where Wulu was, while recovering his magic power while the carriage was moving.
Since the northern region is full of snow-capped mountains, the next journey can basically only rely on carriages and hiking. After all, it snows all year round here, and trains cannot run in such bad weather.
