Chapter 136
The conversation between the father and daughter could be heard from afar.
"Hey, this is the benefit of Lightning magic, Mu En, repeat it."
"Okay~"
The father and daughter sat cross-legged on the grass. Dragon girl thought for a moment, then began to recount her story. (3)
"Lightning magic is a versatile type of magic. Concentrating its power at one point can effectively damage a single target; dispersing its power can deal widespread damage to groups of targets."
"Lightning magic can also be used to enhance one's basic attributes such as speed, strength, and physical resilience."
"It's a versatile type of magic that combines both offense and defense!"
Leon gave a thumbs up. "Good! Mu En, remember this: master Lightning magic, and you can travel the world, understand?"
"Understood, Daddy!"
"Why do you only teach Lightning magic and not Fire magic?" X
A familiar female voice came from behind, magnetic yet slightly languid.
The father and daughter looked in the direction of the sound. (7)
A tall, beautiful woman in a long dress, her silver hair flowing gently in the breeze, revealed her long, slender, fair legs and delicate, rounded ankles beneath the hem.
Even without formal attire, she exudes an aloof and noble air.
Mu En's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed happily, "Mom ~ Anna said you were going to rest today, so Daddy and I didn't want to bother you."
Losweiser smiled and walked over to them, sitting down cross-legged as well.
She glanced at Leon beside her, then shifted her position to the side.
"Mom, why are you taking a day off? Are you sick?" Mu En asked with concern.
"No, Mu En, don't overthink it. Mom is just a little tired. I'll be able to work normally tomorrow~" Losweiser pinched her daughter's little nose and said affectionately.
"Oh, I see. It's good that Mom isn't sick." Dragon girl was relieved.
"I just heard Daddy teaching you Lightning magic, didn't I?" Losweiser asked.
"Yes, Mom, let me tell you, Lightning magic is really powerful! Daddy practices Lightning magic!"
With his daughter's support, Leon knew it was time to show off.
He puffed out his chest, cleared his throat twice to make his presence known, and said, "Mu En, give your Mom a performance."
"Okay, Daddy ~"
The Queen was taken aback, wondering what trick the father and daughter were up to now.
Mu En stood up, slightly bent her knees and opened her palms. Instantly, blue lightning flashed in her palms.
Before long, two lightning orbs gathered in Mu En's hands.
Losweiser's pupils trembled slightly, somewhat surprised. "Only two days after awakening, and you can already control the transformation of magical energy?"
Although the sphere is the most basic form of energy change, this learning speed is indeed... on par with Noa's.
Mu En dispelled the lightning ball, sat back down next to her Mom, and looked at her with a pleading expression, "Yeah, yeah, Mu En is amazing, isn't she~"
Losweiser reached out and patted her daughter's head, praising her sincerely, "Yes, very impressive, truly impressive. And... what about Fire magic? Have you learned anything?"
Leon's element is lightning, but that doesn't mean he can only use lightning.
If you've studied magic for over a decade and still only know one element, you should probably start over.
"Uh... no, Daddy hasn't taught me yet," Mu En said truthfully.
Losweiser's mind stirred; she realized her chance to cause trouble had arrived.
So she turned her head, squinted at Leon, and asked, "Why do you only teach Lightning magic and not Fire magic? Don't you know it? Husband?"
The word "husband" sent a chill down Leon's spine.
Hearing Losweiser call him "husband" from outside the bed gave me a sense of dread, like God of Death was calling out a name from a roster and whoever it called had to go with him.
But we can't entirely blame Losweiser for being picky, after all, Leon really hasn't taught Mu En the Fire magic yet.
Not only that, but these past two days he's also been secretly instilling in his daughter the idea that "Lightning magic is the world's number one magic, while Fire magic is just a piece of trash that only burns to a red-hot temperature."
While it's not quite that exaggerated, that's the gist of it.
This led to Mu En not actively requesting to learn Fire magic.
Moreover, Leon thought that the Dragon Queen was too busy with work to check on Mu En's study progress.
Unexpectedly, his little scheme was exposed on the third day.
Leon rubbed the tip of his nose and explained, "It's about taking it one step at a time. Whether it's lightning or fire magic, both are equally powerful, so it doesn't matter which one you teach first."
Equally strong?
Why do I feel like you're incapable of saying something like "equally strong"?
So Losweiser asked suspiciously, "Really?"
"Yes--"
"No, Daddy, that's not what you told me yesterday." Mu En tilted her head and blinked her cute big eyes.
"How can it not be? That's just how Daddy is—" Leon tried to stop his obedient daughter from betraying him.
But it was too late.
"Shut up. Mu En, what did Daddy say yesterday?" Losweiser looked at Mu En.
Mu En counted the "sins" of Fire magic on his fingers.
"Daddy said that the methods of using Fire magic are too limited."
"It's easy to learn, but there's no sense of accomplishment in learning it."
"Only a stupid dragon would focus on Fire magic, and it's not as practical as Lightning magic anyway—"
"Hmm... Mom, why do you look like you want to eat Daddy?"
Reading comprehension: How many raids were held in this chapter? And who raided whom? (10 points)
P. S.: I need some monthly votes; I'm thinking of writing something more exciting.
Dinner.
Braised eggplant, stir-fried eggplant strips, and deep-fried eggplant fritters.
The side dish is served with carrot salad.
Generally speaking, the last meal a prisoner eats before being executed is called the "last meal," and it is often very lavish, with chicken, duck, fish, and meat all available.
But for Leon, this highly targeted dinner cleverly combined his last meal with his execution.
He held the knife and fork, unsure where to begin.
After considering it over, I decided to drink some water first to calm my nerves.
But looking to the side, she noticed that Losweiser had already placed a large glass of carrot juice on the table as a substitute for a water glass.
This has truly blocked his last resort—the path to getting as much water as he wanted.
"So what if I didn't teach my daughter Fire magic? Is it really necessary to treat me like this?" Leon thought to himself.
Click—
The crisp sound of a carrot being bitten off came from the side.
Leon looked in the direction of the sound.
Losweiser rested her chin on one hand, held a carrot in the other, parted her lips slightly, bit off the pointed end of the carrot, and then slowly chewed it.
Seeing Leon looking at her, Losweiser generously offered him a carrot, saying, "Want some? Here, have some."
Leon glanced down and saw faint traces of Losweiser's lipstick still remaining on the broken end of the carrot.
The next moment, the strong smell of carrots filled his nostrils.
Wow, that feeling was like having twenty pounds of Tiger Balm poured directly into Leon's brain—it was heavenly!
He quickly turned his head away, trying to find something else on the table that he could eat.
It is a pity.
No.
The Dragon Queen is always ruthless in her actions and will definitely not leave Leon any way out.
Mu En, on the other hand, was happily eating the fried eggplant fritters her Mom had made, which were filled with delicious meat filling. She ate one after another without making a sound.
It seems the little padded jacket has no interest in saving her father; Leon will have to figure it out himself.
The Dragon Slayer had a sudden thought and said, "Oh, I'll go check how much of the birthday cake from last time is left; it'll spoil if we don't eat it soon."
Just as Leon was about to get up, he heard Losweiser say, "I gave them all to Anna and the others this afternoon. Don't worry, none of them went bad. Sit down and eat, honey."
The weeping tomb is a long-standing flag scattering. The rustling of the flags...
Leon sat back down sheepishly, pursed his lips, and said in a mocking tone, "How could you divide it all up? Mu En really likes that cake. If you give it all away, what will Mu En eat?"
He tried to regain some face at the dinner by using moral pressure.
Losweiser seemed to have anticipated his response. Calmly, she brought out a cake from the side, placed it next to Mu En's plate, then looked at Leon and smiled, saying...
"I had completely forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. I did indeed save a copy for Mu En. Thanks for reminding me, honey."
As the saying goes, when God closes a door, he opens a window.
But here, Losweiser is God; she not only closed the Only One door, but also welded all the windows shut.
And the room was also stuffed full of eggplants and carrots.
Leon pursed his lower lip and quietly put down his knife and fork. At worst, it would just mean missing one dinner; it wouldn't kill him.
The Queen glanced sideways and saw that her captives were putting up a stubborn resistance and determined to fight to the end, so she made her next move.
"Mu En," Losweiser suddenly called her daughter's name.
"What's wrong, Mom?" Mu En looked up from her battle with the fried eggplant fritters.
"Studying magic these past few days must have been tough, right?" Losweiser asked.
Mu En shook her head. "Mu En didn't suffer. Daddy taught me so well and was so patient. He never got tired of teaching Mu En all sorts of magic techniques, so if we're talking about who suffered the most, it's Daddy."
My little padded jacket has always been considerate of her Daddy's good intentions.
But for now, we can hold off for a bit...)
"I didn't know you were working so hard, honey! Why didn't you tell me? I wanted to help you out."
As she spoke tenderly, Losweiser sat down next to Leon. ⑨
Leon sensed something was wrong and tried to shift his position, but Losweiser had already grabbed his wrist and placed a piece of grilled eggplant on his plate.
"I've been busy with work lately, and there's not much I can do. Just eat more, honey."
"I... I don't really want to eat..."
"Tsk, how can that be? You've worked hard all day, your body won't be able to handle it if you don't eat. Mu En, tell me, doesn't Daddy have to eat?"
Dragon girl nodded earnestly, "Daddy, you taught me that three meals a day are essential, and eating on time is good for your health."
It even rhymes! Honey, you're going to take the postgraduate entrance exam!
"Honey, are you too tired to eat by yourself? It's okay, I'll feed you."
"No...no need..." Leon tried to struggle. Dad
"It's okay, come on, husband, open your mouth, ah~~"
The aroma of roasted eggplant wafted up.
Objectively speaking, Losweiser's cooking skills are superb; her braised eggplant is a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste.
But for Leon, it was poison, despair, and the root of the world's destruction!
"Lossie!—"
