I looked at the 82d58cefd0 young man in front 715e940f79 of me with tense 56173eba1d eyes.4ea686ab15ed82f2

Because he roamed the 93d982ac42 continent without a fixed 585d743b4d residence, countless people had 3af19a37f7 tracked his whereabouts to efcf42b5c2 seek his counsel and 5d8ca8bbf6 wisdom, and even Terencium 96cd30ac16 had been keeping an bfda9a3478 eye on him.54e62a4964fa889c
