Chapter 261
But none of these people seem to be very skilled in physical combat.
"Claudia Poseidon".
Upon hearing this, Leon's thoughts were drawn back to the past.
He was deeply impressed by this extremely unique surname.
Losweiser had told him that Poseidon was the royal surname of the Sea Dragon race.
Claudia is also the author of "The Gate of Nine Hells".
Hey!
The author himself is giving a lecture?
People usually pray to gods before going to war for good luck or psychological comfort;
Honey, you summoned the spirit directly, didn't you?
"For a long time after Mom fell into a coma, my sisters and I were taken care of by Anna and Sister Shirley. Of course, after the Silver Dragon Clan was dismissed, many of Mom's subordinates were willing to stay and hold the line."
Aurorla crossed her arms, leaned against the stone table, and slowly spoke.
"But the Empire's pursuit of the Silver Dragon Clan never stopped. At first, we thought they were trying to silence us, but after learning that Mom had fallen into a coma, they still didn't stop. So there must be some other reason behind this, which we don't know."
"Anna, Sister Shirley, Sister Milan died one after another in battle to protect our Mom and us sisters."
"My great-grandmother was not a combat-type Dragon Race; she could only barely withstand the empire's offensive."
"And Aunt Ischa's Red Dragon Clan was also caught up in the chaotic war. They wanted to help us, but they were powerless to do so."
"So my sisters and I and our great-grandmother could only wander along the way, but in the end we still could not escape the joint encirclement and suppression by the empire and the Dragon Race."
"In our final moments of despair, Claudia of the Sea Dragon race appeared, saved us, and led us to this hidden underground space."
"After resting for a while and making sure that the enemy wouldn't find us, my great-grandmother set off alone to find a way to wake my Mom up. Claudia took care of us and taught us all sorts of survival skills."
"It was around that time that she taught me the cultivation techniques of the Gate of Nine Hells."
After listening to Aurorla's story, Leon stroked his chin, frowning in deep thought.
"Did your great-grandmother know this Claudia?"
"I don't know him."
"So she actually entrusted you all to Claudia...?"
"We had been together for a while by then. If Claudia wanted to do something, he would have done it long ago. There was no need to wait until my great-grandmother left."
Aurorla said, "But later, all the things she did proved that she really did it for the good of us sisters. She personally taught me the Gate of Nine Hells, and she also taught and guided my eldest sister's Illusion magic and my second sister's twin awakening."
"Wow, this kind-hearted person from the Sea Dragon race is quite versatile." Even Leon couldn't help but exclaim.
He is proficient in physical combat, illusion, and magic.
And they all teach so well.
Noa's Illusion magic has indeed reached a very high level of proficiency; the giant rock illusion at the cave entrance is the best example.
"Why did Claudia step in to help? Did you ask her?"
Leon had always been curious about this Sea Dragon race.
Losweiser said they had been out of touch with the world for thirty years.
But after the master learned that his apprentice could not condense Magic Power, he directly took out a physical technique called "Gate of Nine Hells" created by the Sea Dragon race and gave it to his apprentice to practice.
After Leon disappeared, she extended a helping hand to her displaced daughters, both saving their lives and acting as their mentor.
What exactly is the background of this living bodhisattva of the Sea Dragon race?
Why do you keep helping Leon and his friends?
"Of course I asked, but Claudia only said that she was asked to help us," Aurorla said.
Leon thought for a moment, "Do you have a picture of Claudia?"
"Emmm... Oh! Yes! It was secretly taken by Mu En back then."
As she spoke, Pink Hair burrowed into a nearby storage box and began rummaging through it.
After searching for a while, Aurorla walked up to Leon with a yellowed photograph and handed it to him.
Leon took the photo and looked at the person in it.
It's the side angle.
A beautiful woman who still retains her charm.
Leon carefully examined it for a while, muttering, "I feel like I've seen this somewhere before..."
Aurorla patted her father on the shoulder and said seriously, "Dad, I've told you before, your flirting skills are absolutely terrible. Starting with 'I've seen you before' is always a sure sign of a clown!"
Leon shook his head. "No, I really do think this Claudia looks very familiar. I'm sure I've seen her somewhere before... but I just can't remember—ugh, this is awful."
This feeling is really unpleasant.
It's like the line "The Wumeng Mountains connect to mountains beyond mountains" suddenly pops into your head, but you can't think of the next line of lyrics no matter what.
Oh no—it's urgent!
If you can't remember, then don't think about it for now.
Aurorla said, "You just said you only opened five doors? Come on, I'll open the rest for you, so when you get back to the previous timeline, you can annihilate those dragon kings who hurt Mom!"
These words resonated deeply with the old father.
I swear by my love for donkeys, every dragon that has ever harmed Losweiser Melkwy —shall die!
Xiao Guang's proficiency with the Gate of Nine Hells is indeed very high.
With just a few simple words, she pointed out some of the problems Leon was encountering during his practice.
After teaching her father some techniques, the father and daughter had a practical sparring session.
As expected, the wounded General Leon was easily defeated by the youngest daughter.
Thus, the second dragon in the world to defeat Leon Kazi (II) Sanling Siji VII Umbrella Sismode appeared.
What?
Who is the first one?
The first one is Losweiser.
This story teaches us that even the invincible Family Hero can only be defeated by his own family!
After the sparring session, Leon lay sprawled on the soft grass, even such a simple sparring session had put a great burden on his weak and tired body.
Xiao Guang put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and walked to his Dad's side.
"My Mom said that as long as I can defeat you, I can roam freely across this continent. In other words, I, Aurorla, am now invincible."
Leon chuckled and sat up.
Aurorla also bent down and sat down next to her Dad.
Her sitting posture is the same as Losweiser's:
Slightly bend your knees, wrap your arms around your calves, and gently rest your chin on your knees.
It looks just like a well-behaved cat.
After sitting down, Aurorla took out the photo she had just shown Leon from the pocket of her white coat.
Claudia above is teaching Noa Illusion magic.
Leon's gaze fell on the photograph, and he asked, "When did Claudia leave?"
"About five years ago."
"She seemed... unhappy when she left," Aurorla said.
"Unpleasant? What do you mean?"
"That day she was teaching us new magic. According to the teaching progress at that time, she would have to teach us for at least another half a month."
Aurorla looked down at the photo and slowly recounted the events from her memory, "But during the lesson, she seemed to suddenly see someone and hurriedly ran towards that person. They hid behind some bushes, as if they were arguing."
"About ten minutes later, Claudia returned. She said that her master-disciple relationship with the three of us sisters had come to an end. We are now strong enough to protect ourselves. From now on, we must not mention to anyone that Claudia Poseidon has ever been here."
After giving her instructions, she left.
Leon's thoughts stirred slightly, "Who did they see... and had an argument with them?"
Aurorla nodded. "Yes."
"Did you see who it was?"
"No, I could tell from her voice that she was also a woman, and not young, about the same age as Claudia."
Leon scratched his cheek, completely clueless.
He didn't understand Claudia at all, who had offered her help for no reason, and now there was another woman arguing with her, making Leon even more confused.
When Losweiser first mentioned the Sea Dragon race to him, her words made it clear that the Silver Dragon Clan and the Sea Dragon race had no diplomatic relations whatsoever.
But Claudia not only helped them in their most difficult time, but according to Xiaoguang, she even served as their mentor for a long time.
Why did she come? And what was her purpose?
Was there an unspeakable reason behind his hasty departure? Or was there another difficulty at play?
I can't figure it out.
I really can't figure it out.
Leon sighed, no longer wanting to dwell on this pointless problem.
"Dad."
"Um?"
"I have a bold guess."
Leon raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Tell me about it."
"Could it be that Claudia was attracted to your handsome face, Dad, and had a crush on you for many years? So, after learning about your misfortune, she took the initiative to help our family through the crisis?"
"After accomplishing the task, leave quietly, keeping your achievements and fame hidden."
"Ah! What a touching story of unrequited love in early youth. I must tell Mom about it when Mom wakes up—Ouch! That hurts!"
Leon gave the pink-haired guy a sharp rap on the back of the head.
"Regarding your bold guess, I have a little immature suggestion. I suggest you take a good look at your father's resume. I didn't even conquer the Sea Dragon race's territory back then, okay? I never even met that Claudia, so where did this crush come from?" Leon said.
Xiao Guang rubbed his throbbing head. "So you're denying everything I just said?"
Leon shrugged. "What else?"
Does that include the phrase "handsome and dashing"?
"This sentence can be kept."
Leon breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "You said it yourself, Claudia isn't young anymore. To be honest, even your Mom marrying me would seem like an old cow eating young grass in terms of human perception. And you're arranging for your father to marry someone even older, right?"
Losweiser was over two hundred years old, and General Leon was in his twenties.
To put it nicely, the Queen was an old cow eating young grass;
To put it bluntly, holy crap, Queen, you're practicing too?!
"Actually, age is not a very important thing among Dragon Race. There are many examples of dragons who are hundreds of years old and dragons who are only a few decades old mating."
Aurorla earnestly explained to her father, "But Dad, you're a human, so naturally it's not the same as what you're talking about."
She pushed up her glasses, a habitual gesture of hers.
People who wear glasses seem to have this habit.
Since the topic had shifted to racial differences, Leon's eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "Dragon Race can be nearsighted...?"
"Pure-blooded Dragon Race certainly don't have nearsightedness."
