In a tavern in Milicion, one of the search and rescue team's bases.
The leader of their search and rescue team was Paul.
More than two years have passed since the Great Migration Disaster struck the Fittoa Territory.
In the past two years, Paul has witnessed too many families torn apart and too many people losing their homes and lives because of this disaster.
Some people were teleported to conflict zones, dangerous places where they could die from just falling.
Some were lucky enough to survive, but they were captured and enslaved, because there were simply too many ordinary people like them.
Compared to those unlucky people...
Paul considered himself lucky.
At least his two sons, two daughters, and Lilia are all safe and sound.
The only thing that worried him was the woman he loved most, Zenith.
He clearly wanted to try, thought of many ways, and even humbled himself to beg Zenith's family for help.
But no matter what he did, he could never find any clues about his family... Fortunately, Paul lived a ridiculous life.
In the end, however, she gave birth to two outstanding children.
Leaving aside the eldest son Rudeus, the second son Luo Ge was simply an exceptional individual, a true genius.
At the young age of twelve, he earned the renowned title of " Sword King," and simultaneously held the titles of " Sword King," " Water King," and " North King," earning him the title of "Three Kings."
Three Kings?
What a dazzling title!
For most people, achieving even one of these titles would be an incredibly difficult task, but his child managed to obtain three in one go.
What's even more outrageous is that his child is only twelve years old this year, still a minor.
Paul dared not imagine where his life would lead him.
If one day in the future Paul hears from someone else that his children have become one of the Seven Great Powers, perhaps his first reaction will not be to question it, but to think it is only natural.
That's right!
His son is so outstanding, so remarkable.
It seemed as if there was nothing in the world he couldn't do.
The second son's outstanding brilliance has long since overshadowed his father.
But Paul wasn't jealous at all; on the contrary, he was full of pride.
Oh, right.
There was another child, Rudeus, who was also very talented.
He earned the title of "Water Saint Rank magician at the age of five and made a name for himself in the Demon Continent.
Speaking of which... Rudeus has been gone for almost a month now, hasn't he?
Paul estimated the journey and concluded that Rudeus and his group should have already arrived near the Dragon King Kingdom, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
As for Luo Ge, there is no news yet.
Just as Paul was preparing to continue organizing the search and rescue team today, working to save people while also searching for Zenith's whereabouts.
"Commander, I have good news!"
Vera suddenly burst in excitedly.
Paul looked up.
"What's wrong, Vera?"
Has the search and rescue team made new progress?
"That's right, Captain Paul, our people have heard about Luo Ge from the Adventurers' Guild."
"Huh? What news?"
"Our people at the Adventurers' Guild have heard that the Demon Sword King, Luo Ge Greyrat, recently defeated the legendary Undying Demon King on the Demon Continent! Guild Leader, that's a Demon King!"
"What?!!"
"Defeated the Undying Demon King? My son defeated the Undying Demon King?"
Paul was initially stunned upon hearing the news, but then he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
He knew it... that Luo Ge was so outstanding that even the Demon King would avoid his sharp edge.
News travels fast among adventurers; Adventurers' Guild on every continent share information, so Paul wasn't surprised at all.
Now that we've heard the good news about Luo Ge, how far away can Luo Ge return be?
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after, maybe in two weeks...
maybe...
Does that mean he's already found Zenith's whereabouts?
"Hahahaha... That's great! Absolutely fantastic! I, Paul, am the luckiest man in the world!"
Captain Paul was gesticulating wildly and screaming loudly.
Vera, who was standing to the side, and Shera, who was wrapped up tightly beside her sister, couldn't help but exchange a glance.
Is this really a good situation for the captain?!
Vera and Shera returned not long after they left.
"Vera? Hmm? What's wrong with you now?"
"Commander! Someone's here to see you!"
"Who?"
"It's the Nanahoshi Miss who's always been by Luo Ge's side, and a tutor who claims to be from the Migrudia tribe, the adventurer Roxy."
Without saying a word, Paul excitedly rushed out, then looked around and only saw two people getting off the carriage.
Only Nanahoshi and Roxy.
The person he longed for most was not there.
He recognized Nanahoshi; she was Luo Ge's former partner.
He was very familiar with Roxy's words; she was the tutor they had hired in the Buena Village.
Roxy stepped off the carriage and greeted Paul first, "Mr. Paul, it's been a long time."
"Yes, Miss Roxy, and Miss Nanahoshi."
Paul responded, then looked past the two women and towards the area behind them, where Fly was rubbing his hands together.
"Oh, right..."
"Miss Roxy, where is Luo... Luo Ge? Where is he? Is that kid up to something again?"
"Seriously, could it be that they're secretly hiding behind the carriage and preparing a surprise for me or something?"
Paul waited for a while, but still didn't see Luo Ge, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Fortunately, at this moment, Roxy started to explain to him, briefly describing the situation and mentioning that Luo Ge had left Zant Port midway.
After Roxy briefly recounted the whole story...
Paul placed his hand on his chin, lost in thought.
"Yeah?"
"I see... He didn't come back. That kid is really something. Even if he didn't find Zenith, I wouldn't blame him."
"He's already tried so hard..."
Just as Paul was muttering to himself and couldn't help but start to let his mind wander.
Roxy and Nanahoshi had already followed Paul to the Adventurers' Guild and found a seat by the window.
"Mr. Paul!"
"We've brought back good news this time!"
"... What good news??"
Paul was caught off guard and looked puzzled.
Roxy and Nanahoshi exchanged a slight glance, and then Roxy spoke first, "It's like this, we successfully found Lady Zenith's whereabouts on the Demon Continent."
"What?!!"
" Zenith's whereabouts... you actually found her?"
This time, Paul was completely shocked. He couldn't help but stand up and shout excitedly.
He had initially thought that Luo Ge hadn't found Zenith's whereabouts, which was why he hadn't returned to see his father. However, the result was quite the opposite; Luo Ge and his group had successfully found Zenith's location.
Paul's first reaction was shock, but after gradually calming down, he realized that everything that was happening before his eyes was real.
It's not a dream...
Paul worked tirelessly day and night towards this goal.
Finally, Zenith's whereabouts have been discovered.
Besides excitement, Paul was actually more nervous. Paul so nervous that his heart was pounding and his blood was flowing faster.
" Zenith..."
"Where is she? Is she still alive?"
Under Paul's anxious gaze, Roxy nodded reassuringly to Paul: "Mr. Paul, please don't worry... Mrs. Zenith is still alive."
"Then tell me the details of what happened, okay?"
"No problem..."
After listening to Roxy and Nanahoshi recount their experiences in the Demon Continent.
Although Paul remained silent, he was actually in a state of extreme excitement, covering his head with his hands and rubbing his messy hair.
He tried his best to calmly process this information.
According to Roxy, there are also Nanahoshi.
This child, Luo Ge, not only brought back news of his mother from the Demon Continent, but also defeated the Demon King in the process, and more importantly... he defeated more than one Demon King.
Although before Roxy arrived, he had already learned from others about the Demon Sword King's victory over the Demon King.
But when it came from Roxy and Nanahoshi, it was different, giving Paul a sense of being there.
It took Paul quite a while to completely calm down.
He took a deep breath and then bowed to the two men.
" Roxy, Miss Loki and Miss Nanahoshi. You are both my Paul in this life."
"Don't say that, Mr. Paul."
"Actually, we weren't much help; it was all thanks to Luo Ge's efforts."
"Yeah..."
"But no matter what, you all helped us and lent a helping hand when I was in my most difficult time. I, Paul, am truly grateful for your help!"
After expressing his gratitude, Paul cautiously asked the question that concerned him most.
" Zenith, where is she? Is she still alive?"
"On the continent of Becallit, in the labyrinth of Gapon..."
Gapon, the labyrinth of the Begaritt Continent?
Paul frowned. No wonder he hadn't been able to find Zenith all these years; it turned out she was on the remote Begaritt Continent.
If we were to rank the world by danger level, then without a doubt, the Demon Continent would rank first, and the Begaritt Continent would undoubtedly be second.
The harsh living conditions there are no better than those on the Demon Continent.
However, the only thing Paul could be thankful for was learning that Zenith was still alive.
As long as the person is still alive, that's all that matters.
However, after discussing Zenith, the three exchanged glances, their eyes meeting.
Although none of them spoke, there was no doubt that all three of them were puzzled by one thing.
That is, why did Luo Ge leave halfway through...?
