Chapter 31 Ian and Erza, father and daughter recognize each other!
into the night.

After Ian and his companions dealt with the wyvern and the bandits, they first returned to the train station and picked up Kana, who they had forgotten on the train...

Then they came to Gray's hometown, which is 'Ice Lake Village'.

Compared to four years ago, when the entire village was reduced to ruins due to Deliora's sudden invasion, the current village can be said to have undergone a complete transformation.

Throughout the village, every household has built a garden house, and each one has a courtyard of at least 180 square meters.

In fact, 80% of the families have magic four-wheeled vehicles parked at the gate of their courtyards, which can be said to be extremely wealthy.

At this moment, Ian understood a little...

Why do all the major forces nearby regard this remote village as a thorn in their side?

"Really..."

"It's made me want to rob this village."

"How about we cover our faces and rob this village?!"

"After doing this, you will never have to do any missions again."

Ian looked at the Ice Lake Village in front of him. It was so wealthy that the entire village was paved with marble floors, and the doors of every house were inlaid with gems and high-level defensive magic props. He rubbed his chin gently and talked to himself.

"Brother Ian, calm down."

"Let's not talk about anything else, this is my hometown."

After hearing what Ian said, Gray couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on his forehead, and spoke in panic.

"Hahaha……"

"I was just joking, Gray, what are you so excited about?!"

"Don't you believe in my character?"

Hearing this, Ian patted Gray's shoulder gently and smiled.

"Brother Ian, do you have any character or integrity?"

"If you're really just kidding, that's fine."

"But I clearly sensed a hint of murderous intent in your words just now."

Gray was sweating profusely.

Based on his understanding of Ian, robbery or something like that would definitely not be possible.

But if he gets carried away and blackmails this Ice Lake Village, then there's no telling...

For example, he relied on himself as the savior of Binghu Village to collect protection fees.

Although, if it weren't for Ian, this 'Ice Lake Village' would have become a ghost in Deliora's hands four years ago and would no longer exist...

"Hey! Gray is back?!"

"Gray, you are finally back. Your family is so miserable. You have been gone for four years."

"Do you know how busy the village has been during the four years since your family left? There is almost no one left to harvest the fish in our village..."

Not long after Ian and the others entered Ice Lake Village...

Some citizens discovered Ian and his group as outsiders. They first discovered Gray's identity and excitedly told about the changes that had taken place in the village in the four years since Gray left the village...

"Wait, the person who came back with Gray, could it be the benefactor?!"

"Everyone, stop being busy! Our benefactor is back. He has finally returned to our village."

"What? The benefactor is here? Let me take a look..."

Then, some of the villagers who had experienced the turmoil in Deliora recognized Ian's identity. After confirming that Ian was their benefactor, they put down their work and gathered towards where Ian and others were.

Soon, the eighty-year-old white-haired village chief of Binghu Village came to Ian with a cane and a group of elders from the village.

"Woooo..."

"My Lord Benefactor, you are finally back..."

Without waiting for Ian to speak, the elders immediately hugged Ian tightly, crying and shouting loudly.

"Eh?!"

This scene made Ian confused. He just didn't come, he wasn't dead.

"Back then, half a year after our benefactor helped us eliminate Deliora, we sowed fish in the Ice Lake and had a good harvest!"

"In less than a year, almost every household became a pond owner."

"Not only did we make up for all the losses of the village during the Deliora invasion, but we also earned wealth that would have taken ten or even a hundred years to obtain..."

"Even some caravans that would never come to our village, and the lords who used to be so high and mighty that they never took us seriously, came here one after another after hearing the rumors about Bingshui Lake. Binghu Village suddenly became a well-deserved giant in the vicinity."

Just when Ian was confused, the villagers started talking to themselves, their expressions full of pride.

Then, they changed the subject, with a hint of sadness between their eyebrows: "However, although the village has become prosperous, we can no longer find our benefactor..."

"During this period, we asked the Gray family, but to our surprise, both Gray and Silver kept silent about your affairs!"

"After that, we spent a lot of money to find the magician named Gildarts. Although he was as powerful as a monster and helped us solve some problems, he was not the person we were looking for at all!"

"We all thought you were dead! You paid a heavy price to help us defeat Deliora! You didn't tell us your real name in order not to worry us."

When the villagers talked about this, they became sad again.

"what……"

When Ian heard this, he thought of the rumor that the bandit leader had talked about before, about the magician and Deliora dying together, and he solved the case immediately. It turned out that the rumor originated from "Ice Lake Village".

"Don't worry!"

"It's just Deliora. She can't hurt me."

"That's why you couldn't contact me in these four years."

"It's just because I went to another continent to complete a difficult mission..."

Ian smiled. He certainly couldn't be contacted. He didn't even know about this at the time. "Anyway, I'm glad you're okay!"

"In that case, let's have a party today!!"

The village chief was eighty years old, but still very passionate. He stroked his long beard and shouted loudly.

"Oh!!!"

As the village chief finished speaking, the whole village cheered loudly, and for a moment, the lights were lit up, as if it was Chinese New Year...

Good wine, good dishes, and all kinds of food were all served to Ian and others.

"Tons, tons, tons..."

Because she went to the bar on the train to drink, she missed the time to get off the train. After being asked to get off by the conductor, Kana was awakened by the cold wind. She immediately picked up the wine barrel and drank it down again. Since the wyvern couldn't catch up, at least she had to drink to her heart's content.

"Click! Click..."

Natsu picked up the fish in front of him and started to eat it...

He was barely awake these days on the train and was already starving.

As for Gray, he walked towards his residence under the guidance of the village chief.

It is said that the villagers also helped their family rebuild a house in the village. Regardless of whether he will return to the village to live in the future, he will at least go and see it.

"Dad seems like a hero here!"

Erza squatted beside the campfire. She looked at Ian in the distance, who was surrounded by countless villagers like a hero, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Why are you here alone?"

Just when Erza didn't know whether she should go forward and mingle with the villagers, or stay where she was and watch silently, a gentle voice sounded behind Erza.

"what?!"

Erza turned her head and was surprised to find that Ian had come behind her without her knowing.

After Erza was stunned for a few seconds, she looked towards the campfire in the distance where the villagers were gathered. There was also an Ian there, enjoying the blessings of the villagers, like a hero returning in triumph.

"Shh..."

“That’s a thought body.”

Ian signaled Erza to keep her voice down, as he had sneaked over here.

"Ian, aren't you going to enjoy the bonfire with the villagers?"

Erza looked at Ian and asked softly.

"Ha ha……"

Ian just smiled softly when he heard that. He gently stroked Erza's little head and said softly: "It's just a bonfire party. How can it be more important than accompanying your daughter?!"

"You, are you saying..."

Erza trembled slightly when she heard this...

She didn't seem to expect that Ian already knew her identity.

"As early as the first day you came to the guild, I already knew your identity."

"After all, you look so much like her, how could I not recognize you?"

"Besides, are there really scumbags in this world who can't recognize their own daughter?"

When Ian said this, his voice paused slightly. He really didn't mean to target anyone.

at the same time.

In the south of the Kingdom of Fiore, a man with short orange-red hair combed back into a bun was sneezing hard: "Ah Qiu! Ah Qiu!!!"

"Could it be that one of my sisters is missing me, Gildarts?!"

"It seems I have to work harder."

Gildarts was thinking about this, and without paying attention, he used the shattering magic to shatter a nearby mountain.
