Chapter 187

Rebecca put on a serious face and said, "Take me with you, I promise I won't leave you behind again."

Tiger glanced at the girl, noticing her earnest expression, then quietly leaned close to her ear and whispered...

"Your captain is married with kids, so stop with these cliché lines and scenes."

Rebecca frowned, clicked her tongue, and then elbowed her father. "This is the bond between friends!"

Tiger clutched his chest and sheepishly retreated. "Alright, alright, bonds, bonds. When the time comes, you guys shout 'bonds' and 'friends' and go up there to kill that dog emperor. I'll be cheering you on from below."

"Hmph, childish old man," Rebecca gave a blunt assessment.

After a brief, minor skirmish, Leon suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

"What?"

"I... can't use magic now."

Tiger Rebecca was taken aback. "What do you mean I can't use magic? Is my magic circuit burned out?"

Leon shook his head, clutching his chest. "I don't know the specific reason either, but I can't gather Magic Power right now. I can only refine some Magic Power and store it in... cough, store it in a magic circle on my body. But this is very slow. When I helped my master break through tonight, I used up all the Magic Power had recently accumulated."

Rebecca's mind stirred slightly. Of all the things the captain had said, she had only grasped one key word. "A certain magic circle on his body... Captain, why did you seem a little shy when you mentioned this?"

"Ah... Oh, really? No, it's just a magic circle, what's there to be shy about?"

Rebecca narrowed her eyes slightly, slowly raised her hand, and pointed at Leon's chest.

"Then what does it mean that your chest is glowing with purple light?"

Leon: Σ( °△°|||) What?!

Yi (2) Ling (3) Erling (7) IVba Great, Mother, Dragon! What are you doing!

"Don't move! Let me see!"

"No, Master! Please don't! You absolutely can't look there!"

"Rebecca, hold him down, I'll take his clothes off!"

"Okay, Dad!"

The two worked together to pin the Dragon Slayer Hero against the wall and ripped off his shirt.

The Dragon Mark on his chest flickered briefly twice before going out.

Looking at the silver markings on the captain's chest, Rebecca raised her beautiful eyebrows and whistled.

"Captain, this magic array of yours... is a bit awkward."

"Magic array my ass, kid, what exactly is this thing?"

Leon avoided eye contact and stammered, "Um... the tattoo, it's really just a tattoo."

"Your tattoos emit purple light? They're obviously not legitimate tattoos." The master craftsman saw through the trick at a glance.

"Hey! That's not quite right, Master. This tattoo may look a bit risqué and improper, but it's actually proof of the God of Pure Love War," Leon said with feigned seriousness.

"Explain in detail."

"Ah... this can't be explained in detail."

"Why can't you explain in detail?" the master asked.

"Is there even a question, Dad? It's obviously a matching tattoo between the captain and his Dragon Wife."

Rebecca gave her a knowing look and said meaningfully, "But Dragon Race magic has a lot of tricks up its sleeve, who knows if this tattoo has any other uses?"

Wow, this young man knows everything!

Leon quickly dressed, stood up, and changed the subject, "The other uses are my private matters with Losweiser. All you need to know is that this tattoo is now where I store Magic Power."

Rebecca pouted, "Hmph, fine, I won't tell you then. I'll look it up myself another day."

Curiosity killed Lolita, you will regret it after checking Jun Yang⑴ Lin I Qi Si Wu Jiu Si Jiu Ba!

The three returned to the campfire and continued their discussion.

"Since the brat can't use magic right now, we need to be more careful with every step we take from now on," Tiger said.

"Well, fortunately the Empire only sent some dangerous species, so we still have the capacity to deal with them."

Tiger nodded. "You just said the first step is to find the mole who framed you back then. What are your specific plans?"

"Let's go find Victor first. Rebecca said that after leaving the Dragon Slayer Army, he became a resident singer at a bar. Compared to Martin, who lives at the minister's house, we have an easier time getting in touch with Victor," Leon said.

"Okay. That's all for today. We'll start tomorrow night."

"Hmm. Oh right, I'll take the night watch, you and Rebecca can rest."

Tiger shook his head. "You keep watch for the first half of the night, I'll take over for the second half."

Leon understood his master's temperament, so he didn't argue with him. "No problem, Master."

"Wait a minute!" Rebecca suddenly raised her hand.

"How?"

Rebecca straightened her chest, pinched her chin, and pretended to be deep in thought. "I think since the three of us are going to go through thick and thin together, we should come up with a group name."

Leon and Tiger exchanged a glance and shrugged in unison.

What name would you like for this group?

"How about a combination of an old geezer, a clueless straight man, and a pretty girl?"

Leon grinned and teased, "What a simple and straightforward name. Any longer and it could be the subject of a thesis."

"Tch, then let's call it... the Weak and Sickly Combo!"

"The elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled?"

Rebecca nodded and explained logically, "Dad is old; I am a weak girl who can't even kill a chicken; the captain can't gather Magic Power and can't find the reason, so he is sick and disabled."

Leon couldn't help but applaud the gunner's logical thinking ability. "It makes perfect sense and is convincing. Now go to sleep, you delicate girl."

Rebecca lay down happily by the fire, Tiger covered her with the Only One blanket there.

He hadn't expected Leon to come back so early, and with a teammate, he played three-man matches with him, so he hadn't prepared a lot of personal items like blankets.

But having a place like this to stay while being wanted is already quite an achievement, and Leon and Rebecca both admire Tiger.

After his master lay down, Leon slowly walked outside.

He sat down on the dusty steps and looked up at the night sky.

It is a complete full moon.

Some of the empire's bards often used the waxing and waning of the moon to represent people's joys and sorrows.

But the moon is so round tonight, yet Leon couldn't enjoy it with someone.

I wonder if the moon is just as round when it appears to the Silver Dragon Clan, who are thousands of miles away...

Lost in thought, Leon raised his hand and touched his chest.

"When the one with the Dragon Mark pattern begins to miss the other, the Dragon Mark will flash."

So... is she also missing him?

Leon looked away and sighed.

After calming himself down a bit, he began to focus on keeping watch.

The next morning, Leon slowly opened his eyes.

"You're awake, Captain." A little girl's face appeared above his line of sight.

"Hmm... what's wrong..." Leon rubbed his eyes.

"Nothing's wrong, but don't you feel your throat is a little dry?"

Leon looked bewildered and sat up. "What's the problem? Hmm... to be honest, it's actually a bit dry."

He paused for a moment, then immediately perked up. "You and my master didn't do anything strange to me last night, did they?"

Rebecca shook her head.

At this moment, the master also came over and stood next to Leon. "Last night, after you fell asleep, you called out several names, and you called each one many times."

Leon was taken aback. "... Whose names are they?"

Rebecca accurately counted, "Aurorla 104 times; Noa 110 times; Mu En 112 times."

Leon secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, they're all daughters' names. (Delete)

What's wrong with an elderly father talking in his sleep and muttering his daughter's name while he's away from home?

It makes perfect sense! This is all out of love for his daughters!

However, the master's ultimate move petrified Leon on the spot.

"Losweiser 518 times." Umbrella

Leon:?

"Captain, you truly are God of Pure Love War! Dad said you kept repeating your wife's name 518 times yesterday until you were foaming at the mouth. Tsk tsk tsk, the power of love!"

"The hammer of love... it's just wishful thinking, it doesn't mean anything," Leon said guiltily.

Rebecca looked at Tiger, "Dad, has your apprentice always been this stubborn?"

"Yeah, when he was a kid, he got kicked by a donkey but didn't utter a single word of 'pain,' he was harder than the pancakes his master's wife made."

"Sigh, I really don't know how that Dragon Queen managed to live with a stubborn guy like you for three years," Rebecca sighed.

Is it possible that the Dragon Queen's mouth was actually harder than mine...?

Leon laughed it off and skipped the topic.

Since they were going to see Victor that evening, the three of them had plenty of time to prepare.

Tiger was in charge of gathering intelligence on the situation in the city;

Rebecca tries to get enough bullets;

Leon, meanwhile, was devising specific action plans. In this rare moment of peace and quiet, he could come up with many schemes to find the mole.

Three years have passed, and it's almost time to reveal the truth.

I want to give a big red envelope to all the readers who have supported Brother Lai after the Moe Battle ends (and of course, the promised extra chapters will still be there). Please DM me your support records (link in the comments section). You can find your support records on the left side of the daily free heart icon in the event interface.

In the evening, Leon and his two companions went to the bar where Victor was performing.

The bar wasn't exactly upscale, and its clientele was a mixed bag, mostly from the lower classes of the empire.

They don't all come here to drink; there are all sorts of people doing it: trading, offering bounties, underground boxing, ice skating.

Of course, compared to the gambling and drug lords with the Empire's Royal Family backing that Tiger had previously taken down, things here need to be a bit more restrained; at least the crimes can't be brought into the open.

Leon and Rebecca went into the bar, while Tiger kept watch outside.

With wanted posters bearing the master's portrait plastered all over the empire's streets and alleys, and the bounty on his head even more tempting, there might be one or two desperate criminals in this bar who would risk everything for that reward.

Therefore, to avoid these unnecessary troubles, it's best for the master to show his face less often.

As soon as he entered the bar, the noisy and chaotic sounds immediately assaulted Leon's eardrums.

The porch leading to the dance floor was also packed with people.

A sexy, glamorous woman, with a cheap cigarette between her fingers, gently blew a puff of smoke into Leon's face as he approached.

(7) (II) Umbrella Thinking Leek Seven Umbrella IV A prostitute soliciting customers in public, she's even bringing her business to the doorstep.

Leon ignored her and continued walking inside.

"Hey handsome, what's the rush? Let's chat, I have some really fun stuff here—"
