Chapter 273

And it was Losweiser who helped him through it.

Although she wasn't good at expressing her feelings, she understood Leon and knew how to delve into the darkness deep within his heart and pull this awkward brat out of it.

For Leon, she was always seen as a 'spiritual mentor'.

After all, the Queen has lived for over two hundred years; her life experience far surpasses that of Leon.

But what should Leon do now, tormented by longing and worry?

Without Losweiser, his heart felt like it was twisted into a rope.

It's unsolvable, and even more tangled than before.

He pulled himself out of his gloomy thoughts, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

Then, Leon reached out and gently pressed his hand on the crystal.

The crystal is cold, just like this dull reality.

"I really... miss you so much."

If all goes well, he should be able to see her in another 24 hours.

But... who can guarantee that everything will go smoothly?

Leon rarely lacked confidence in anything.

Because he is never afraid of failure.

He can try again if he fails, and he can try again after every failure. He's like an unkillable cockroach.

This time is different.

If he fails this time, he may never be able to hug his lover again.

A mountain of pressure piled up on his chest, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

This is not only a race against time, but also a love that must be saved even across time and space.

But can he really do it?

"It's late, let's rest for a while."

Noa's voice came from behind, "Xiao Guang said that the reversal magic can be activated in a few hours, so you need to conserve your energy."

"No need, I feel fine."

Leon didn't turn around, but continued to look at Losweiser quietly. His tone was flat, but Noa could hear the faint tremor in his voice.

Noa hesitated for a moment, then walked over to Leon.

Leon then noticed out of the corner of his eye that she was holding a delicate little wooden box.

Although it is exquisite, it looks like it has been around for quite some time.

"This is...?"

Noa opened the wooden box, which contained various unrelated trinkets.

A black fragment, a Rubik's Cube, a note, an essay, and a family photo.

"These are very important things to me," Noa said.

Leon looked at the little items. He remembered that when he made the Rubik's Cube's Cube for Mu En, he also made one for Noa. At that time, Noa was still very proud and didn't like to talk to him.

The note read "Noa K. Melkwy," which was probably Noa's name that he wrote down when he was teaching Mu En to write.

The essay recorded his entire date with Losweiser in Sky City, and Noa's love for them.

The family photo needs no further explanation.

"I originally intended to collect many other things to eventually fill this little wooden box."

Noa said, "But in the twenty years since you disappeared, not a single item has been added to this place. Every item has its own meaning, but when tragedy strikes, those meanings become torment. So..."

Noa gathered dragon flames in her hand and ignited the wooden box she had kept for twenty years.

Along with the things inside: Rubik's Cube, notes, essays, and photos.

Only that black fragment remained, gleaming in the flames.

Leon was startled and hurriedly tried to put out the fire.

But Noa threw the box on the ground and let it burn.

She held her father's hand, her eyes filled with tears, her voice choked with emotion.

"Whether it succeeds or fails, I no longer need it now."

"If you successfully change the past and restore the original timeline, then the wooden box will return to my hands, and everything I care about will come back."

"But if we fail... you and my sisters are all I have left."

"So go ahead and do it, Leon Casmod."

"No matter the outcome, you will never be alone."

A few months ago, when he was having a heart-to-heart talk with his daughter, her future self gradually overlapped with her past self;

At this moment, Leon saw the shadow of Losweiser in Noa.

The person who always pulled him out of the abyss when he was lost and helpless seemed to have never left.

A few hours later, in the crystal room, Aurorla prepared to activate the Reversal Magic.

The Heart-protecting Dragon Scale floated silently within the magic circle, providing energy for the entire spell.

Various complex and dazzling incantations gradually began to flash with light, and the air currents stirred up by the magic circle clashed in the room.

Aurorla tidied her hair, which had been ruffled by the wind, and turned to look at Leon.

"Stand here."

Leon strode to the center of the magic circle.

"If all goes well, the reversal magic will be completed in ten minutes, which means... in ten minutes, you will be able to see your Mom."

"Okay, I understand."

The air whistled as Aurorla stood before Leon, her head slightly bowed. "Dad."

"What's wrong?"

"I... I helped, didn't I?"

Leon was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding why Xiaoguang would suddenly ask this question in the last few minutes.

"Twenty years ago, Xiao Guang disappeared before he could gain your approval."

Noa explained from behind, "So now... praise your little daughter."

Leon suddenly realized.

So that's how it is.

He looked at Aurorla, reached out, and ruffled her pink hair.

"You did a great job, Xiaoguang. You are Dad's proudest daughter."

"Really--"

"Ahem." Noa cleared her throat twice and put her arm around Mu En's shoulder at the same time.

Leon quickly added a patch, "One of my proudest daughters."

Xiao Guang smiled, took off his glasses, wiped the corner of his eye, and then put them back on.

"After you go back in time, remember to remind me not to stay up late reading, because I don't want to wear glasses again."

"Okay, I've got it."

Mu En also clutched the hem of her clothes and quietly walked to Xiao Guang's side. She looked at her Daddy in the light, and the usually most lively girl didn't know what to say at this moment.

Is this a farewell...?

Or is it the beginning of a reunion?

Mu En couldn't understand it.

But she knew—

"Daddy, you... you'll definitely save the world, right?"

In her eyes, her Dad was a hero, an omnipotent great hero.

That was true twenty years ago, and it will be true twenty years from now.

"Yes, it will, I promise, Mu En."

"Then, when you get back, you have to make me lots of steak... I love your steak the most."

"Okay, Mom and I will make it for you."

"Uh-huh!"

Little Moon started talking, she had so much to say.

But she knew that the remaining time should be reserved for her sister.

Mu En and Xiao Guang turned to the side, allowing Leon to look at Noa at the door.

Noa crossed her arms and leaned against the wall.

She looked into those dark pupils, and then smiled gently.

"I'll be waiting for you in the past, Daddy."

There will be another update at midnight tonight; that invincible man is back!

Monthly pass, monthly pass, monthly pass!

The borders of Silver Dragon territory are shrouded in smoke and ravaged by war.

Black Sun Dragon King Bryn and Disorderly Dragon King Jaggs stood side by side.

Blair looked at the three battered women in front of him, who were dragging their exhausted bodies and blocking their Queen and Princesses.

"I don't understand why two maids and a spy have persisted until now in order to protect a dragon king who is about to fall."

Bry looked at Anna and said calmly, "Not long ago, the Silver Dragon Clan was dismissed by your Queen. You could have fled when disaster struck, and although you might be suspected of desertion, at least you could have saved your own lives, right?"

Anna's face was covered in blood, her tattered dragon wings swayed precariously behind her, and her body was on the verge of collapse. But she would not give up an inch before she was completely dead.

"My life... belongs to Your Majesty, it's none of your business—cough cough—"

Anna coughs up blood just from speaking loudly.

She was simply too exhausted to fight any longer.

Now, if those two dragon kings on the other side wanted to, they could take her life with a flick of their fingers.

But so what?

As the Head Maid of Losweiser, she would never abandon His Your Majesty to live a life of ignominy alone.

"Hmph, still being stubborn even when death is imminent."

Jaggs said leisurely, his tone brimming with the smugness and boastfulness of a victor, "Your Queen is already on her last legs, and as for those three little brats... even if we let them go, how long can they survive in this chaotic world? Sooner or later they'll all be—"

"You are not allowed to insult Her Princess!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the maid Milan gathered her Magic Power and conjured a concentrated water ball in her hand, which she then threw towards Blaise and Jaggs.

But the two men did not budge.

When the magical water sphere got close, Milan's attack was easily neutralized by simply setting up a spatial magic circle.

"It's just the last gasp of its power."

Bryce yawned, as if he had lost patience.
