Chapter 326
Leon scratched his head, pretending nothing had happened.
Until Ischa stood in front of him, looking at him with a mischievous grin, "Brother-in-law, I didn't know you were such a good shooter. Can you shoot one for me too?"
"Sure, sure, no problem. Boss, ten more rounds, please."
Boss: "Let me explain your dream!"
While Leon was shooting, Ischa leaned close to her sister and said, "I thought your relationship would be better than when you first came to my house, but I didn't expect it to be this much better."
Losweiser blushed and quietly nudged her sister's arm. "Sister, don't talk nonsense... Leon and I... we're just an ordinary couple, the kind who treat each other with respect."
"Treat each other with respect? What kind of couple who treat each other with respect can have three children?"
As she spoke, Ischa bent down and picked up Mu En from the ground. "What do you think, Little Moon? Daddy and Mom are definitely a very, very, very loving couple, aren't they?"
Mu En didn't care whether her aunt wanted her parents to die; Mu En only knew that going along with what the adults said would never be wrong.
"Yes!" Mu En nodded vigorously.
"See? Even a child can tell. Stop being stubborn, Little Los."
Losweiser sighed helplessly, "Sis, don't say these things in front of children..."
The two sisters chatted.
Before long, Leon came over with his fourth teddy bear of the day.
"Sis, your bear."
"Okay, thank you, brother-in-law."
Ischa took the teddy bear and hugged it to her chest, and couldn't help but start thinking:
Which race is the most accurate shooter?
Immediately, Ischa chuckled and shook her head to stop thinking about these messy things.
Let's listen to Grandma and relax and play for a while first.
The family enjoyed a rare moment of rest at the Young Dragon Paradise.
In the evening, after dinner, they went to Selena's photo studio to pick up their family photo and Muen Little Guang's school photo.
It was already past 8 p. m., and even at Losweiser's speed, it would take at least two or three hours to fly back. By then it would be late at night, and the children wouldn't be able to stay awake.
So the group decided to stay overnight in Sky City.
The hotel they stayed in was naturally the most luxurious, after all, the Silver-Red sisters were not short of money.
After settling the children to sleep, Ischa went to the hotel's rooftop.
Leon, Losweiser, and Grandmother are also here.
"Oh, looks like no one can sleep." Ischa walked over.
The four stood side by side in front of the railing, gazing at Sky City under the night sky.
With its flashing lights and dazzling lights, it truly is a dreamlike city.
People always reminisce about their past after a fulfilling day.
Leon, of course, was one of them.
Looking at the night view, he couldn't help but recall his days in the Dragon Slayer Army a few years ago.
At that time, he had not yet been betrayed and hunted down by the empire, and he still held the highest aspirations for the cause of slaying dragons.
He would often, like now, climb the tallest tree trunk with Rebecca, Martin, and Victor during the army's rest and reorganization periods to look at the stars and the moon.
Rebecca always said that even after all the enemies in the world have been killed, she would still watch the moon with her friends like this.
Leon said that it also depends on the weather, since you can't see the moon on a cloudy day.
Martin seconded it.
Rebecca immediately pulled out a pistol and pressed it against the two guys' foreheads, then questioned God why there were two straight men like them in the team.
That's not romantic at all!
Looking back on those days of fighting in the north and south, although it was tiring, it was also full of joy.
Wu Yiqi Baba Linqi Leon silently breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the night sky.
Coincidentally, the moon tonight is just as bright as it was then.
"When it's all over, there will be more people to watch the moon with you, crazy girl," he thought to himself, then slowly took the hand of the person beside him.
The back of my hand was as cool as ever, but that's okay, it will warm up after holding it for a while.
Losweiser responded to his rare initiative.
Their fingers were intertwined, inseparable.
Ischa immediately sensed a hint of the sweet, sour smell of romance in the atmosphere.
She turned her head to look, and Little Los's expression was normal, but why did her brother-in-law look a little... emo?
Ischa blinked and looked up.
The full moon hangs high in the sky.
Suddenly, Ischa seemed to realize something.
"The Running Wolf Race will howl uncontrollably towards the sky on the night of the full moon..."
Thinking of this, she looked at Leon again.
It's strange to expect someone to suddenly yell in front of you.
But in order to determine your bloodline, brother-in-law, please don't suppress your natural instincts!
Shout it out loud!
"Alright, it seems they're not from the Running Wolf Race either."
The air was getting cooler, Leon took off his coat and draped it over Losweiser's shoulders. "Shall we go back first?"
"Um."
She turned to Ischa and Grandmother Veronica, "Sister, Grandma, Leon and I are going back now. You two should get some rest."
"Goodnight, Little Los." Ischa waved.
Grandmother nodded as well.
The couple left the rooftop.
Ischa's gaze followed their retreating figures until they walked down the stairs and disappeared from sight, at which point she looked away.
"Sigh." The Red Dragon Queen sighed.
Grandmother Veronica looked at her granddaughter. "What's wrong?"
Ischa pulled the list from her pocket and crossed out 'Running Wolf Race'. "Garuda, Lightning Elf, Wolves, they're all out along with the Mamba. Now only—"
"Ischa," her grandmother interrupted her.
"Um?"
"Have you thought about what we should do if it turns out that Leon isn't Dragon Race in the end?"
Ischa blinked, pondering her grandmother's question intently.
After a moment, she shook her head. "I haven't decided yet."
She paused, a slight smile playing on her lips, gave a soft hum, and looked down at the list in her hand.
"But it was just a trivial little farce anyway, so I'll just treat it as my own amusement."
Grandmother Veronica smiled with relief, "But even if you continue investigating, I don't think you'll find anything."
"Huh? Why?"
"There are only the last 'humans' left, but do you know what their obvious nature or habits are?"
Ischa shook her head. "No. It's strange, really. The human race... seems to be the most primitive species. Of course, by 'primitive' I don't mean 'backward,' but rather... they have an extremely high degree of adaptability."
"They know a little bit of the magic of all the major races; they have no particular strengths, but they also don't have any obvious weaknesses."
"If you really want to say something, they don't need to learn shapeshifting magic, since the ultimate form of all shapeshifting magic on the Samael Continent is the human form."
Grandmother Veronica nodded slightly. "Actually, I've studied this race for many years. Besides the high degree of plasticity you just mentioned, I've also discovered something very interesting."
What is it?
"Humans... sometimes inexplicably possess the most resilient will in the world."
Such high praise made Ischa wonder, "What... do you mean by that?"
"Look, the human lifespan is only a hundred years, but they still continue to explore, learn, and discover within this short hundred years."
"Then we will pass on the achievements of this century to the next generation."
"They grow slowly through birth, aging, sickness and death, and no matter how difficult the process is, this inheritance has never been interrupted."
"And 'continuous inheritance' is just one manifestation of their tenacious will. There are other aspects, such as survival and expanding their territory—of course, in some cases driven by desire."
"But... without desire, there can be no progress, right?"
As she listened to her grandmother's account, Ischa nodded thoughtfully.
The Human-Dragon War has lasted for nearly a century, and her understanding of this race has remained at the level of "enemy," without ever trying to understand them in detail.
Her grandmother's words did indeed allow her to understand the human race from another perspective.
Ischa picked up the list, and a cluster of dragon flames slowly ignited in her palm, burning the list to ashes bit by bit.
The ashes were scattered by the evening breeze and slowly dissipated in the wind.
"Grandma, thank you for playing along with me all day, even though we still couldn't find out my brother-in-law's background in the end."
Grandmother smiled gently, "It's nothing. But if something like this happens again, please remember to call me."
Ischa smiled and put her arm around her grandmother's shoulder, walking with her towards the stairs. "I didn't expect you to be so young at heart, Grandma. You're hundreds of years old and still so gossipy."
"Are you young people the only ones allowed to gossip?"
"No, no. But next time I might have to look into something else."
"Investigate what?"
"Little Los and her brother-in-law's third child... something like that~"
The grandfather and grandson left the rooftop, and silence descended.
A strip of paper, not yet fully burned, slowly drifted down from the sky, its edges still bearing traces of embers.
The spark burned with all its might, and just before it went out, it burned the word 'humanity' away without leaving a trace.
Two weeks later, the entrance test for the new batch of young dragons at the Saint Hiss Academy was held as scheduled.
It just so happens to be Monday, so I can take Noa back to school while I'm at it.
Upon arriving at the college, the family parted ways at the entrance of the teaching building.
"Don't be nervous during the exam. Believe in yourselves and believe in your Daddy. You will definitely pass."
As the eldest sister, Noa earnestly gave her two younger sisters some instructions before parting ways.
The two little ones nodded repeatedly, expressing their confidence in the test.
The school bell rang quickly. Although Noa still had a lot to say, she could only finish quickly, waved, and ran towards the classroom.
After saying goodbye to Noa, Leon and his wife took Mu En and Xiao Guang to the third floor, where the entrance exam registration office was located.
However, as soon as they entered the teaching building, they were greeted by none other than Vice Principal Wilson.
"I'd heard from the teachers in the academic affairs office that your Melkwy family would be registering for the new year's Dragon Boys entrance exam, and I never imagined it was true!"
Vice Principal Wilson's eyes lit up, and he looked at the scene with the same optimism of a navigator who had discovered a new continent.
