I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law

"I……"

Bennett didn't know how to answer, he hesitated, and finally said:

"I was fooled by myself."

After hearing this, my father didn't say anything else, just stared at the fish float in the water.

The mother sighed, walked up to Bennett and took his arm. She probably wanted to comfort Bennett, but she didn't know what to say.

The fishing float in the water moved again. This time, my father was not excited. He just waited quietly. The fishing float did not enter the water, but just swayed left and right a few times.

My father lifted the fishing rod, and the bait was gone.

"When I left the battlefield, the lord handed over the business of the territory to me, but I didn't do a good job."

He reeled in the fishing line, carefully picked up the small fishhook, put a worm on it, and threw the hook back into the lake.

“In fact, business is like fishing. You have to prepare the bait according to the fish you want to catch.

But if you prepare the bait, will there definitely be a fish taking the bait?

Won't. "

The float moved again. My father lifted the fishing rod. There was no fish on it, but the bait was gone again.

He looked back at Bennett, handed him the hook, and said:

"You can also try the bait."

Bennett took the hook and his mother handed him the earthworm.

When he was a child, he also liked to come here to fish. At that time, he would take a book, read while fishing, and sit there for a whole day.

Whether or not there was any fish at that time was not important to Bennett. He just wanted a quiet environment.

He was actually not very good at how to place the bait.

But he learned a little bit from watching his father press the bait just now.

The father took the bait from Bennett, was silent for a moment, and said:

"It's just a bait, and you're so cautious. I remember you weren't so restrained when you were a kid."

When I was a child, I was not only unrestrained, but I was completely free to do whatever I wanted.

Bennett smiled bitterly. After he came here, basically no one cared about him. Of course, he didn't need to be cared about at that time. As long as he didn't do anything bad, his parents would let him do whatever he wanted.

My father turned around and threw the hook back into the water. He sighed and said:

“A lot of things happened this year. Many people that I never dared to imagine before appeared. The world has changed.

That orc chieftain, when I was fighting, if there was such a person on the opposite side, humans would have been defeated immediately.

Now he has met you, but not even a complete body is left."

He lamented what had happened over the years, and there was a hint of vicissitudes in his words.

Bennett was a little surprised. He didn't expect his father knew all this.

As if he had anticipated Bennett's reaction, his father said:

"Although we are dead, we can still see things in this world through the Sea of ​​Wishes."

The float moved again, and this time the father did not wait, but directly picked up the fishing rod.

Sure enough, the bait was gone again.

"There's a very cunning fish this time."

He retracted the hook and turned back to hand it to Bennett.

"You don't have to copy me this time. Just do it the same way you did before."

Hearing his father's words, Bennett casually put the bait on the hook, just like he had done before.

At that time, he didn't think about catching fish. Sometimes the float disappeared for a long time and Bennett was too lazy to care.

My father took one look at the sloppy bait and was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled happily.

The mother also covered her mouth and laughed.

Only Bennett looked confused.

"It seems that you were really happy when you were a child. The one on this bait has no worries at all."

The father happily threw the fishing hook into the lake.

"I am proud of myself for giving you a carefree childhood."

But then my father became a little lonely again, and he said:

"I am also ashamed. I can't help you in any way as a mage."

Bennett was stunned for a moment and said:

"You are not a god, how can you prepare everything in advance?"

“Hey, you know this, too.”

My father seemed to have been waiting for this sentence for a long time. He nodded with satisfaction as if he had caught something and said:

“What I can do is to ensure that you can pursue your life without any scruples.

What can you do, Bennett?"

Bennett smiled bitterly. So far, he has achieved nothing except being promoted to a natural disaster.

But he also had his own ideas about what to do.

"All I can do is protect the people around me."

My father was very satisfied. He nodded and looked at the lake. The fishing float just moved a few times.

“Fish are coming.”

This one sentence attracted the attention of the whole family, and the three of them looked at the fish float together.

The fishing float shook a few times and then suddenly dived into the water.

My father's eyes lit up and he said:

"Come, let's see how lucky you are."

The water waves leaped, the fishing line was lifted, and a salmon broke through the water. It curled its body in the air, its scales shining silver in the air, drew a graceful arc, and fell into the shallow water near the shore.

"Hahaha, Bennett, you're lucky."

The mother happily picked up the fishing net from the side and jumped up to catch the fish.

Bennett quickly used his magic power to bring the fish directly over.

But his father seemed to see through Bennett's thoughts and directly pressed Bennett's shoulders.

The fish was not at peace in the shallow water. It was tied up by the fishing line, but it was unwilling to die just like that, so it ran around frantically along the shore.

The mother was clumsily chasing fish with a fishing net, and mud and water splashed on her face, but she didn't seem to care. Instead, she seemed quite happy.

Bennett also gave up the idea of ​​using magic, collected his thoughts, and watched his mother playing in the water.

"She married me because of the 20-year age difference, but she didn't mind it. But I felt a little guilty."

The father picked up the fishing line and helped the mother pull the fish to the mud. The mother finally caught the fish, picked it up with the fishing net, and waved happily to Bennett and his father.

"We have no fear of death, Bennett."

The father turned to face Bennett. He looked into Bennett's eyes, gazing at the shade of gray with some heartache.

"If you always feel pain, it is the biggest regret in our hearts."

Feeling suffocated, Bennett suddenly hugged his father.

The mother came over to the two of them with a fishing net and hugged them together. Mud instantly covered the clothes of all three.

Finally, the three let go, and the father and mother let Bennett go. They looked at their child, who was the pride of both of them and the person they could not stop worrying about even after his death.

"Well, Bennett, our biggest regret is that we didn't get to see you before we died. Now that our wish has been fulfilled, it's time for us to leave."

Isn't it a regret in Bennett's heart that he didn't see the two of them for the last time?

Bnet nodded, he didn't try to keep him.

The transformation and resurrection of the soul is extremely painful. Such a transformation can only satisfy one's own selfish desires, but for the resurrected, it is the most brutal torture in the world.

Everything around them slowly receded, and Bennett knew that the two of them had fulfilled their wishes and this was the last time.

"Father, Mother, do you have anything else to say to me?"

The mother smiled and said:

"Take good care of our grandson and make sure he is born without seeing his father."

Everything disappeared.
