Chapter 255

"But for me, that was indeed twenty years ago."

Aurorla a long sigh, closed her eyes, and rubbed her Zanzhu acupoint. "So, so I... tsk."

After a brief exchange with Leon, Aurorla finally couldn't suppress her emotions any longer.

After all, her father had disappeared into the spatial rift for twenty years, and now that he had suddenly reappeared, she really didn't know how to face him.

Her heart was filled with mixed feelings, but Aurorla's strongest feeling was that she finally had someone to rely on.

She was only a few months old when Leon prevented the spatial rift from disappearing.

Leon still left a deep impression on her:

Gentle, strong, and with a strong sense of responsibility.

It seems that as long as he's around, all troubles will be easily resolved.

So even after so much time had passed, when Aurorla saw Leon, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense for twenty years, finally felt a little relieved.

But after the initial relief came a helpless silence.

Aurorla knew she should now explain to Leon why all this had happened.

But she didn't know where to begin.

There are so many things I want to say to my father, and so many sorrows I want to express.

She took off her glasses, wiped her eyes haphazardly, sniffed, and then put her glasses back on.

Leon pursed his lips; he could see Aurorla's embarrassment and helplessness.

So even though he really wanted to know what this so-called "twenty years" was all about, he decided to calm his daughter down first.

He glanced at Aurorla's black-rimmed glasses and asked, "You... are you nearsighted?"

As a father, I naturally care a lot about my daughter's health.

Aurorla nodded. "Yes, I've been nearsighted for a long time, from reading too much."

Leon gave a thoughtful "oh," glanced at Aurorla's white coat, and recalled what she had once told him about her dreams.

"When you were little, you said you wanted to be a scholar or a scientist, so now... have you achieved your dream?" Sob

"I guess so."

"Consider it?" (Chess)

"Yes, because what I'm researching cannot be made public, and it will never receive academic certification from the Dragon Race." 8

Leon blinked. "So what are you researching?"

Aurorla didn't answer, but instead asked a completely unrelated question, "When did you regain consciousness?"

"Today.")

Aurorla lowered her eyes and murmured softly, "Lin..."

"Today... that means there are only six months left." (Qi)

"Six months left? What... what does that mean? What will happen after six months?" Leon asked, somewhat flustered.

He had a vague, bad feeling.

This bad feeling wasn't just because of Aurorla of 'six months left,' but also because he hadn't seen Losweiser or Noa Muen since he woke up.

Especially the dilapidated Silver Dragon Sanctuary behind them, which looked as if it had been the site of a fierce battle.

"From now on, in six months, I will complete my research—or rather, I must complete it."

"But from the moment you disappear, six months later... everything will change," Aurorla said.

Leon sat up straight, his nerves tightening, and pressed, "Is it related to your Mom and sisters? Where are they now? How are they? And—"

Is he still alive?

Leon didn't dare ask that question aloud.

He cared more about his wife and daughter than about why he had been wandering outside of time for twenty years.

Twenty years is enough time for anything to change or happen.

Aurorla smiled. "They're all still alive."

Those four simple words immediately made Leon breathe a sigh of relief.

The tension in my body also relaxed.

"Where are they now?" Leon asked immediately afterward.

"Well... it might be hard for you to understand just by talking about it. So—"

Aurorla stood up and walked to the open space next to her.

Leon stared at her blankly, wondering what she was going to do.

The next moment, Aurorla's actions completely stunned her father.

She tilted her head slightly, and instantly a pair of dragon wings spread out from her back.

The dragon's wings folded, enveloping Aurorla's body.

A moment later, Aurorla her dragon wings, and a Silver Dragon Queen appeared before Leon.

The elderly father was completely dumbfounded, not even noticing the kebab he was holding fall to the ground.

He stared at the Silver Dragon Queen before him. Although Aurorla's dragon form was much smaller than Losweiser's, it still left Leon speechless with astonishment.

It's like leaving your daughter in your hometown while you go out to work;

Two years later you came back. I thought I could play games with my lovely daughter like before, like hide-and-seek or drop the handkerchief. Father and daughter were so happy together. How wonderful and joyful that would be!

Then your daughter pulls out an AK47 from behind her back and says to you: Daddy, let's plant the bomb at point A!

emmmm——

Utterly insane!

Thump—thump—

The dragon walked gracefully to its dumbfounded father and gently nudged him with its head.

"Why haven't you transformed into a dragon yet?"

General Leon regained his senses. "Huh? Me?"

"Okay, change quickly, then we'll go find our eldest sister."

Is this thing something that can change so easily?

Do you think your dad's a magical girl?

Leon scratched his forehead awkwardly, thinking that Losweiser really kept her word. She said she wouldn't expose his identity and she really didn't, keeping it a secret from her daughter for twenty years.

Since that's the case, he can't afford to drop the ball; he has to keep it a secret.

"Daddy just came out of the crack... He's not feeling well, so he can't transform yet."

"Oh, so you're not feeling well~" Aurorla deliberately dragged out her words, as if there was a hidden meaning in them. "Alright, alright, then I'll have to drive you there."

"Well, it seems that's the only way."

Just as crows in ancient times feed their parents, Xiao Guang carries her father on her back, highlighting the theme of filial piety between father and daughter.

Aurorla down and let Leon climb onto her back.

"Are you seated?"

"Um."

"Then let's go."

The dragon flapped its wings, extinguishing the campfire beside it, and its silver figure soared into the sky. Then, with a sonic boom, it disappeared into the night sky.

"You just said you were going to find Noa? Isn't she with Mom and Mu En?"

"No, she's far away... waiting for you."

"Wait for me?"

"Um."

Leon opened his mouth, wanting to ask more questions.

But judging from her daughter's rather taciturn way of chatting, she probably doesn't want to say too much right now.

Leon understood the atmosphere and didn't ask any more questions.

He sat cross-legged on Aurorla's back, feeling exactly the same way he had on Losweiser.

The Silver Dragon Clan's unique super-high speed, the whistling air rushing past my ears—everything felt so familiar.

To be honest, Leon never expected that he would survive after entering the spatial rift.

Although he survived, a host of problems confronted him, leaving him completely bewildered.

But it's better than being separated from your family by death, isn't it?

Only--

Leon sighed heavily and peered down at the ground below.

It's just that I don't seem to belong to this world twenty years from now.

Was it the sense of loss and disillusionment caused him to have such thoughts?

Or something else...

Leon couldn't quite understand it.

All he wants now is to see his wife and daughter as soon as possible.

"Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen what your dragon form looks like."

Aurorla's voice interrupted Leon's thoughts.

He came to his senses and cleared his throat twice. "Ah, well... I'll show you when Daddy recovers."

"Okay. But... your health doesn't seem to be very good."

Aurorla said, "I remember when you were little, you caught a cold and I made you some Dragon's Might. You were full of energy the next day after you took it. So, do you want me to make another one for you? That way you can recover quickly."

"No, no, no. Taking too much of that stuff can have the opposite effect; it's not suitable for frequent consumption."

It mainly strains my kidneys.

"Is that so? Okay then."

Leon probably didn't realize that he had just been rambling about the effects of Dragon's Might's medicine in front of a Dragon Race scholar who had read countless magic books over the past twenty years.

The reason for this is that, in his subconscious, he still regards the giant dragon beneath him as the little Guang who used to follow him around asking all sorts of questions.

And Aurorla actually cooperated by not exposing him.

Is this because the younger daughter is concerned about her Dad's feelings, or is there something else going on?

It's hard to say, it's hard to say.

After several hours of flight, the father and daughter arrived at the border between the Dragon Race and human territories.

Leon recognized this place.

He also guessed where Noa was waiting for him.

A cave behind a waterfall in a mountain stream.

However, before Leon could even feel excited about seeing his eldest daughter, he suddenly realized something else:

If Noa is really here, wouldn't that mean they already know their father is human?

After all, only he, Losweiser, his master, and Rebecca knew about that mountain cave.

He only asked Xiaoguang about Losweiser and the others, without mentioning his master or Rebecca, just to avoid arousing Xiaoguang's suspicion.

But then again, if Hikari and the others really knew Leon's identity, then why did she make Leon transform into his dragon form just now?
