Slowly, Jin walked back to his chair, leaning forward slightly, looking somewhat weary. He took a deep breath, as if trying to draw some strength from this simple action. Then, he gazed quietly at Van Loon, his eyes shimmering with deep affection and helplessness.
"This is the last thing I can do for you, apprentice," Jin's voice was deep and full of emotion, each word carrying a heavy weight. This statement was not just a farewell, but also an unspoken promise and blessing.
Van Loon stood there, listening to Jin's words, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. This was the first time since coming to this strange world that he truly deeply experienced a genuine emotion - a mixture of respect, sadness, and gratitude. Although his goat family in this world also provided him with warmth and care, Jin's influence and the emotions he imparted felt more like the fatherly love he had deeply longed for but never received in his previous life.
Jin's words seemed to be telling Van Loon that from this moment on, he would need to face this vast and unknown world independently. This was not just an inheritance of power, but also a spiritual guidance and inspiration. Van Loon felt filled with strength and uncertainty about the future. But no matter what the future holds, he will remember the emotions and strength Jin gave him, and bravely move forward.
Jin found a comfortable position in his chair, leaning slightly back as if releasing long-held fatigue. His gaze was deep, revealing a hint of inexplicable contemplation and concern. In this tranquility, he spoke slowly, with a tone of resignation and seriousness: "This time, when I go to federal... it seems the odds are against me. This cabin... use it however you need."
Jin's words conveyed uncertainty and worry about the future, as if sensing significant danger in his upcoming journey to federal. His instructions regarding the small cabin were not just a sign of trust in Van Loon, but also an unspoken entrustment, leaving this place that had once provided him shelter and peace to Van Loon.
In this atmosphere, Jin gently raised his hand and performed a simple magic. Immediately, a glass bottle slowly floated from the corner of the wooden house, as if guided by an invisible force. The bottle contained a deep red liquid, gently swaying with the movement of the bottle.
Van Loon approached curiously and cautiously sniffed the liquid in the bottle. He immediately recognized it as the aroma of red wine, a scent that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, as if carrying a hint of memories and emotions from the human world. Van Loon realized that this bottle of red wine was not just an ordinary item, but more like a spiritual comfort from Jin.
He skillfully caught the drifting red wine bottle in mid-air, his movements appearing natural and composed. He casually picked up a clean glass from the table and gently poured the deep red wine into it, allowing the liquid to flow slowly into the glass, swaying gently and emitting a faint aroma.
He lifted the wine glass, quietly gazing at the liquid inside, seemingly lost in deep contemplation at that moment. Then, he took a small sip, savoring the taste of his homemade red wine. However, soon after, a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on his face, as if the taste of the red wine did not meet his expectations.
Jin revealed a self-deprecating smile and said softly, "Did I really make it myself... and it still can't compare to what's sold outside?" His tone carried a hint of relaxation and humor, as if in this quiet night, he also wanted to relax a bit. Despite his dissatisfaction with the homemade wine, it did not affect his interest in continuing to taste it.
Afterwards, Jin raised the glass to his lips again and continued to savor it slowly. In this quiet little cabin, Jin enjoyed this simple and ordinary happiness alone. For Van Loon, seeing this side of Jin also made him feel a kind of normal and real experience different from the magical world, which was another side of a great wizard in ordinary life.
Jin sat there, holding a glass of red wine, with a calm and deep expression. He slowly savored his homemade red wine, each sip delicate and contemplative. In this quiet night, the wooden cabin was filled with a peaceful and profound atmosphere.
At this moment, Van Loon silently walked to the fireplace and lightly touched the wood inside with his horn. As he cast his spell, a subtle wave of magic rippled through the air, and then the wood in the fireplace slowly ignited. Gradually, the flames grew stronger, emitting a warm glow accompanied by the crackling sound.
The warm firelight flickered inside the small wooden cabin, enveloping the entire space in a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. The firelight reflected on Van Loon, adding a warm hue to his furry body. Van Loon stood quietly by the fireplace, enjoying the warmth brought by the flames. His gaze seemed to look through the firelight, gazing at distant dreams and hopes.
On this night, Jin and Van Loon were both immersed in their own thoughts. While Jin savored the red wine, she might have been contemplating the future journey and the meaning of life. Meanwhile, Van Loon felt the warmth from the world and the love from Jin in the firelight. At this moment, the small wooden cabin was not only filled with warm firelight but also with the unspoken understanding and deep emotions between master and apprentice.
