“Elmelia,” Swan said hoarsely. The girl was still the same as he remembered, while he had grown so old. He still remembered the wonderful times when he and Lila fought over the cookies Elmelia made.

“So the old man knows me. Your outfit looks like Swan’s, but he’s not as tall as you,” Elmeria looked Swan up and down, and the more she looked, the more familiar he seemed. “Could you be… Swan’s grandfather?”

“No, that’s not true,” Swan retorted immediately, his imposing expression startling the girl. He quickly softened his expression, “I just have naturally fierce eyes.”

“Haha,” Nils laughed wildly from the side. Swan looked at Nils, who was causing trouble, with some annoyance, and even wanted to beat him up.

Chapter 325 The Person I Once Loved

"Sigh," the robust old man sighed, looking at the little girl in front of him, who still looked the same as she did five hundred years ago. "It's fate that we can talk like this. Would it be convenient for you to give me directions?"

"Okay, grandpa, where are you going?" Elmelia looked at the old man in front of her with curiosity. His flamboyant white cloak was exactly the same as Swan's.

“Hmm, let’s go to the Adventurers’ Guild. There should be a friend of mine there,” Swan looked around at the town. Although he had been here before, five hundred years had washed away his memories, and besides, he was terrible with directions.

“Okay,” Elmelia nodded and said to Nils, who was watching the commotion, “Grandpa, hurry up and go find William. Father has disappeared again. We need to find him as soon as possible.”

“Yes, yes, yes,” Nils replied lazily, then bid farewell to Swan. “Well then, see you later, Great Sage.”

The Great Sage, who had been wearing a dignified smile, now had none left. After glaring at Nils, he finally gave Elmelia a smile that could scare a child to tears.

Outside, Thousand Hands found Nigolan and William and told them what Swan had said. After thinking for a while, the two began to prepare for the relocation, mobilizing the children to get ready and hide their favorite things. William went into the space to discuss things with Swan.

Senju contacted Chito and the others, but Chito and Yuri did not answer. Ishii was already in the workshop next door. After Senju went in, she found that the interior had become very futuristic. It seemed that her ability to create things out of thin air had allowed her to develop many machines.

After hearing Qian Shou's message, she began moving the things she had made into the starship. Her current residence is in the city inside the starship, the air force base where she was originally located. However, things are much better there now, and many robots are helping her with her work.

Senju then searched everywhere for Chito and Yuri, and finally found them in their room. They were still fast asleep in bed. There was a pile of books on the table in the room, and next to them were Chito's diary and a bunch of photos.

Thousand Hands picked up a few photos and looked at them, discovering that they were all taken in the small town within the space. He looked around and saw many more photos on the wall, some taken in Corinthians, some taken during past travels, and others taken by people from the past. The entire wall was covered with densely packed photos, resembling countless stars.

He had been looking at the photos on the wall and suddenly had a good idea, but after gently shaking the two of them awake, Senju decided to tell them the truth, "Senju, Yu, something has happened here, and we'll be moving soon."

"Ah," the two people who had just woken up in bed exclaimed in surprise. Why did everyone have to move after just one night's sleep?

"Has something happened?"

“Hmm,” Senju nodded, but didn’t know how to tell the two the truth. Should she tell them that this place was a place where people were used as disposable weapons? “Because the people who originally sponsored this place don’t want to pay anymore, the children here will be scattered to other places. So Nigolan wants to move this place to the town in the space. What do you think?”

“Okay,” the two nodded, while Yuri said indignantly, “We’re all having a great time together, so why do we have to split us up?”

Chito, standing nearby, wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "Nigolan has helped us for so long and has had a lot of fun playing with the children. If you need any help, just let us know."

"No problem, I've called some people to help move things. You guys take your things and wait inside," Senju said, then remembered something else. "By the way, Senju, Yu, have you found any suitable jobs lately?"

"Haha," the two on the bed yawned, looked at each other, and shook their heads at the same time, "No, Xiaoqian (You) said she wanted to rest for a while before talking, but we haven't found a suitable one yet."

“I just thought of a great job, very relaxed and easy, perfect for the two of you,” Senju said, noticing a gleam in the eyes of the two beside him. He pointed to the photos around them, “You could try opening a photo studio and taking pictures for people everywhere. Everyone wants to preserve beautiful moments, and I’m sure many people would like that.”

"Hmm, that's a great idea! Let's do it right now!" Yuri exclaimed excitedly, standing on the bed. Then, feeling the chill outside, she shrank back under the covers. "It's so cold! Is it going to snow here too?"

"Hmm, probably soon," Senju also felt a bit cold lately. "You two hurry up and get dressed. I'll build a small town in the space first so you can try it out."

“Okay,” the two agreed and began to put on their clothes. Senju then found an abandoned building by the roadside in the space and began to renovate it.

First, the place transformed into a two-story building, with the upper floor being the living area for the two people. The bedroom was furnished with a bunk bed, bookshelves, and a food shelf, with a desk and chair on one side, and some plants placed nearby as embellishments.

The other rooms were furnished with items such as sofas and dining tables, which Senshū carefully arranged, replenishing all the necessary items.

Below are some decent-looking lighting props, with photos and pictures hanging around them, a table and chairs on one side, and a sign outside that reads "Photo Studio," along with some photos hanging outside as well.

After getting dressed, the two began to pack up their belongings. Then, looking at the scene inside, they took their cameras and ran inside, ready to try out the job.

Seeing the two go inside, Senju breathed a sigh of relief. Although there would definitely be many problems, the two could play inside for the time being. He would wait and see when Swan would return. He took the opportunity to pack his own things.

Inside the space, Swan quickly followed Elmelia to the Adventurers' Guild. At the entrance, the two noticed something was wrong; there were several people making a commotion around them.

After the two stood at the door for a while, a silver-haired man ran out and shouted at Elmelia, "Elmelia, you found out too?"

"And who is this?" Swann narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the other person. Elmeria introduced, "This is Tedo, an adventurer who often comes to our orphanage to help out."

“Haha, you’re too kind, Er,” Tedo said with a grin, then looked at the dignified old man beside him, “And this is? I’ve never seen him before?”

“Yes, he’s an acquaintance of Grandpa’s, here to visit a friend,” Elmeria said after thinking for a moment. Swan saw the familiar look in Terdo’s eyes, just like the way he had looked at Elmeria back then. He grabbed Terdo, who was trying to get closer to Elmeria, and asked, “Young man, are you an adventurer? What level are you?”

Chapter 326 Rookie and Boss

Regarding levels, they are numerical values ​​used by adventurers to measure their personal training and combat abilities. Ordinary citizens are around 2 to 3, skilled soldiers are around 10, and those who emerge from the piles of corpses on the battlefield are around 30. This is already the limit of human strength.

“It’s LV8,” Trito said happily, and William’s voice came from the side, “Not bad, you can reach this level now.”

“Mr. William,” Tristan called out, and Swann glared at William, “I am now the Great Sage, do you know that?”

“I understand, Great Sage,” William called out loudly, and Swan looked at him irritably. “Hmph, Black Onyx Sword Demon.”

"Father, where did you go last night? Do you know this old gentleman?" Elmeria asked from the side. William quickly explained, "There were some things to do last night. A welfare home was moving here, and I went to help. This old gentleman is the person in charge of this event."

“Yes, that’s right, those children are very pitiful,” Shion sighed. “It was my fault to begin with, so I want them to have a peaceful life.”

“Why don’t you come to our orphanage? We have lots of people there,” Elmeria said excitedly to Swan. William, standing beside her, explained, “It’s all girls over there. They’re afraid of being around men, so they don’t want to be with outsiders.”

"I see."

"Elmelia was a little disappointed. "Then after we move in, I'll bring the little girls to help."

“Well, I’ll leave this to you. Most of them are from out of town, and their language and culture are quite different from here,” William thought for a moment and felt that this was a good way for the fairies to gradually integrate into the local community.

“Okay, I’ll go back and get ready,” Elmelia said and ran off. Tedo, watching her go, couldn’t help but exclaim, “Elmelia is so cute.”

"Huh?!" The two men beside him looked over with murderous intent. "Hey kid, wanna level up?"

“Of course I’ve thought about it,” Trito said, glancing at the two of them. “Could this old man also be a person of extremely high rank?”

"Why do you think that?" Swan looked at the excited Teddo with some curiosity, and then heard him say, "Mr. William's level is 69, which is far beyond that of humans, and Mr. Navel is also a very high level of 60. In addition, there is his attitude of equality, plus the old man's title of Great Sage. He must be very powerful as well."

“Yes, you’re right,” William thought for a moment, “He’s probably level 65, a little weaker than me.”

“That’s not how it works,” Swann said, swatting William’s hand away in annoyance. “If you calculate it that way, I’m at least 70, how could I be weaker than you?”

"Haha, don't be angry. We need your help this time," William said with a smug smile. However, the two looked quite different in age, which made it seem a bit strange.

"Hey, how do I level up?" the newbie asked, looking up at the two veterans beside him. William narrowed his eyes. "Why are you in such a hurry to level up?"

“Well,” Tristan blushed slightly, “if I can’t stand on my own, I won’t be able to propose to Elmelia.”

“Very good, I have a trial here that can help you reach level 50. Prepare your will first,” William said with a cold smile, patting the young man on the shoulder. Swan next to him smiled in the same way. “Young man, don’t be afraid. I have a trial here that can take you directly to level 60. Just come over. No need for a will.”

"You really don't need to bother with this, please let us go," Tedo said, taking a few steps back to distance himself from the two smiling tigers.

“It’s William,” a red-haired middle-aged man walked out of the Adventurers’ Guild. After looking at Swan, he asked excitedly and with a hint of doubt, “Swan?”

“Hmm, long time no see, Naveltri,” Swann greeted him. “I never thought I’d see an old comrade-in-arms again after all this time. But you really haven’t changed.”

“You’ve changed quite a bit,” Navelt said, looking at Swann with a complicated expression. “Apart from the white cloak, you’ve grown taller, and your face has become much more imposing and fierce.”

“Well, it’s been five hundred years, so it has grown a bit,” Swan said calmly as he stood there. “I’m here to see an old friend. We may never have the chance to meet again.”

“Why do you say that?” Naveltri asked, somewhat puzzled, while Swan clutched his heart. “After all, I’m no longer human, and there are no humans left outside.”

“Oh, that’s a shame,” Naveltri’s expression also turned somewhat dejected. William clapped his hands beside him. “Alright, let’s talk about this later. Swan, this relocation depends entirely on you.”

“Hmm,” Swan nodded, then looked around at the human-filled surroundings. “It’s so nostalgic, but it’ll be hard to see this again.”

“Alright, let’s go out,” Swan said, looking at his familiar comrades beside him. From now on, what they wanted to protect would be different.

Senju opened the entrance, and the two of them walked out. On the other side, Nigolan had already gathered the children together. They were all carrying bags and looked like a group of elementary school students going to school.

"Are they all here?" Swan looked at the children created to protect the floating continent and bowed deeply. "I'm sorry, I hope you will have a better life in the future."

He then raised his staff, and a shower of light fell upon the children. "This is my final gift," he said.

Then a wisp of black mist rose from the children and gradually dissipated. Thousand Hands and William looked at him with complicated expressions, while the surrounding fairies chattered, wondering what the old man was doing.

"Alright, let's wait inside for a while. We can go back once the building is moved," Senju said, opening the door to the fake fairy warehouse. Led by Chtholly and the others, the children curiously followed them inside.

“These holy swords,” Nigoran walked over carrying a pile of holy swords. She had learned of Swann’s identity from the Thousand Hands and believed that these should be handed over to the Great Sage.

“Forget it, these were originally human items. Who knows when someone will remember them and start making more golden fairies,” Swan waved his hand, and Nigolan put them away. She then went inside with the children.

Thousand Hands stood on the room with the teleportation portal, and apart from that, Swann would move all the buildings within a few hundred meters around him.

"Phew, are you ready?" Swan stood on the ground not far away, looking at Senju. Senju nodded. "When you raise the earth, I will open the entrance below."

“That’s good,” Swan tapped the ground, then chanted a spell. A wave of light shone from the ground, and the surrounding area seemed to be enveloped in light.

Then the ground began to shake violently, but the surrounding buildings remained unchanged.

Then, the mound where the fairy warehouse was located tore apart from the ground and slowly flew up.

Chapter 327 Unreliable Power

As Swan raised the ground, William, who was not far away, raised his holy sword. He had been gathering his strength here for a while. Seeing the mound rise, he unleashed a full-force slash, and the ground beneath the mound became perfectly smooth.

Thousand Hands opened a passage below, and then Swann slowly lowered the mound to the ground. The surrounding soil surged rapidly to hold it in place. Afterward, Swann used magic to reinforce the surrounding buildings, and the relocation was finally completed.

The current fairy warehouse is next to the fake warehouse, and it looks like a mirror image. The children there are also very surprised to see the house that has suddenly appeared in their lives.

Watching the relocation come to an end, William sighed, "Looks like the Fairy Warehouse is finished. We'll have to come up with a new name for it."

“Well, since that’s where Chtholly and the others live now, how about calling it the Hero’s House? Chito and Yuri like living here too,” Senju said after thinking for a while.

“The Hero…” William shook his head with amusement, then nodded. “It’s a name that’s both fitting and ironic.”

"Let's level this place now," Senju said, looking at the messy ground around him. He conjured a pile of dirt and built a mound around it, with the house containing the portal on top.

"What material is this made of?" William jumped to the side of the Thousand Hands and curiously stepped on the bedrock, feeling that its hardness was beyond his imagination.

“Hmm, this is bedrock, the hardest thing in the world, very difficult to damage,” Thousand Hands casually chipped off a piece, “Of course, only I can break it.”

“…” William shook his head speechlessly at this ‘hardest object in the world’, not knowing how to even begin to comment.

Soon, Swan emerged from the space. "William, go in and take a look first. Also, don't tell El about what happened to me."

“I understand,” William jumped into the space and began helping the children move things and reinforce the house as well.

The two people left outside looked into the distance, where a swarm of airships gradually appeared, looking like locusts. "Sending them out one after another feels like a real hassle."

“Well, you know about teleportation magic, there’s nothing we can do about it,” Swan said after hearing Thousand Hands’ complaint. He looked at the house below and said, “These are truly incredible materials. It’s such a waste to use them here. Besides, I’m going to set up a teleportation array here and see if we can get through.”

“Well, it was originally meant to protect the portal,” Senju said, removing the bedrock. “Speaking of which, if I want to expand the portal, the bedrock seems a bit of a hassle, so I might as well remove it.”

Watching the Thousand Hands demolish the house, Swan summoned a bunch of puppets to scribble around. He seemed to suddenly remember something, "Oh right, the survey team has returned to the floating island."

"Hmm, is that Grik and his crew? But they're really slow," Senju replied absentmindedly. Actually, he wasn't that familiar with Grik. He had already built several of those airships and used some as raw materials.

After a while, the airships reached the airspace not far away, and magic circles were drawn on the ground by the puppets. Swan activated one of them, and bright lights appeared around them, which then went out after a while.

“Looks like it still won’t work,” Swan said, standing inside the magic circle. Senju looked at the seemingly familiar magic circles. “It must be because the spacetime distance is too far.”
