Chapter 344
That is, even if the Sea Dragon race doesn't have any extraordinary human-dragon romances, their tribe may still have some connection with humans.
To be more specific... it's about having some kind of relationship with Leon's mentor Tiger.
However, this is just a very bold guess by Losweiser, and it is not possible to make a judgment based on just two martial arts manuals.
Therefore, we still need to continue to observe and monitor the situation.
"Then your Mom is also a very outstanding person."
Losweiser didn't hold back her praise, then asked, "But... why didn't she come?"
"Oh, our Sea Dragon race lives quite far from here. My Mom set off early this morning, and it will probably be another—"
Da-da-da-da
The crisp sound of high heels echoed outside the door, rhythmic and steady.
The sound grew closer and closer.
Finally, it stopped at the classroom door.
The couple and Helena all looked towards the door.
A tall, beautiful woman stood there, with the same long blue hair as Helena, which, in the soft sunlight, resembled a calm, undisturbed sea.
Although she looked much older than Losweiser, her beautiful face still retained its charm.
In addition, her elegant and dignified demeanor further accentuated the noble temperament of this member of the Sea Dragon royal family.
Her deep blue eyes swept across the classroom, lingering briefly on both Losweiser and Helena.
But in the end, her gaze fell on Leon.
Leon remained calm and composed. The other woman's stunning appearance was exactly the same as the beautiful woman he had seen in the photos of his future daughters.
Then without a doubt, she is the legendary one—
"Claudia Poseidon..."
"Mom, you're here!"
Helena stood up and jogged towards the door.
"Mm," Claudia responded.
Helena took her hand and said as they walked, "Mom, let me introduce you. These two are Noa's parents."
Seeing Claudia approach, the couple stood up from their chairs.
"Greetings, I am Helena's mother, Claudia Poseidon."
The beautiful young woman with blue hair spoke in a flat tone and with a cool voice.
This reminded Leon Losweiser before she became a mother of three; the Dragon Queen back then was just as cold and aloof.
Even with very polite words, it still gives people a feeling of indifference and distance.
"Hello, Ms. Claudia, I am Noa's Mom, Losweiser Melkwy."
In contrast, Losweiser's tone was more lively.
But it wasn't particularly lively either.
Even though the mysterious "Claudia chest" that had troubled her and Leon for so long was now standing in front of her, she did not reveal the joy and excitement in her heart.
As a queen who had reigned for fifty years, Losweiser had mastered many social skills.
Revealing your inner expectations and intentions too early makes it easy for the other party to seize the initiative.
Although she and Leon were not enemies with Claudia, some simple "gameplay" was still necessary in this first encounter.
"Silver Dragon Queen, I have long admired your name, Miss Melkwy."
In the Dragon Race's understanding of age, it is indeed appropriate to address Losweiser is only a little over two hundred years old, as "Miss".
Then, Claudia slowly shifted her gaze to Leon beside her.
Ironically, she spent the most time scrutinizing Leon before even entering the house.
But after entering the house, she took her time before greeting him.
Losweiser understood the art of maneuvering in initial contact, and so did Claudia, who lived longer than her.
Seeing that the other person's gaze had fallen on him, Leon took the initiative to speak.
"Hello, I am Little Los's husband, Leon Casmod."
Upon hearing this, Losweiser raised an eyebrow slightly.
Normally, I hear him call me "Dragon Queen," "Little Burning Dragon," or casually "My Beloved Wife" or "My Wife."
It was quite surprising to hear him suddenly say the name 'Little Los'.
After all, only members of the Melkwy family would call Losweiser "Little Los".
Since, apart from Noa and the other third-generation members, Losweiser is the youngest in the family, it's normal for her to have a nickname that contrasts somewhat with her aloof appearance.
As for Leon suddenly calling her "Little Los," Losweiser wasn't bothered at all.
Why am I even a little happy...?
Losweiser shook her head, trying to stop her thoughts from wandering aimlessly.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Claudia took her seat.
Helena also sent her a script.
Claudia glanced through it, nodded slowly, and then commented.
"Very well done, Helena."
Having received praise from her Mom, the little Sea Dragon girl proudly wagged her tail.
"What about the others in your group?" Claudia asked, putting down the script.
"I'm off to prepare props and costumes, I'll be right back."
"Okay. If there are similar events in the future, remember to prepare in advance."
"Yes, Mom."
As the couple watched the mother and daughter exchanging questions and answers, they suddenly felt that the scene was somewhat reminiscent of "General Leon's early guidance to the Silver Dragon Queen on parenting philosophy".
Many years ago, Losweiser had just become a mother and didn't quite know how to get along with her daughters.
Back then, she was just like Claudia is now, always talking to Noa and Mu En with a stern face.
She would seriously correct even the smallest things.
The daughters were used to it, and Losweiser never thought there was anything wrong with this way of raising children.
It wasn't until the dog man woke up from his two-year coma that he brought his human parenting philosophy into the family.
Losweiser was initially somewhat resistant.
But seeing her daughters becoming more cheerful and clingier to her, Losweiser immediately changed her mind.
Living in such a harmonious family for so long has caused Losweiser to somewhat forget what a traditional Dragon race family is like.
Today, Claudia gave her a refresher.
Losweiser did not comment on this.
Every family has its own way of getting along, and as an outsider, it's inappropriate for her to interfere.
Just then, Leon gently tapped the back of her hand.
Losweiser glanced sideways.
The couple then turned on in-game voice chat.
Leon: [Doesn't this scene look familiar?]
Losweiser: [I know what you're going to say. I've been revising it for a long time.]
Leon: [Is that so? Okay. Then I think Claudia's words and actions have a lot of leadership qualities. Maybe she's a Duchess in the Sea Dragon race?]
Losweiser: [Of course, Poseidon is the royal surname of the Sea Dragon race, it's very noble.]
Leon: [So... it's going to be difficult to find out more about her background?]
Losweiser: [I'm afraid so... We need to carefully consider every question we ask, otherwise, even a slight mistake could cause unnecessary misunderstandings.]
Leon: [Understood.]
The team voice chat has ended.
Leon slowly turned his head to look at the Sea Dragon mother and daughter.
Claudia is giving Helena some pointers on some details of the script.
"Helena, do you think this line fully expresses the character's inner feelings?"
"Which sentence, Mom?"
"I can't live without you, please wake up."
Claudia pointed to a line in the script, "It's almost the end, but the male and female protagonists in the story haven't directly expressed their feelings for each other throughout the two-hour play."
"Even though the audience felt the solid love between the male and female protagonists through the various dramatic and rich plots, these can only be considered as the 'gunpowder' in the bomb."
"To truly detonate this 'bomb' that will set off the ending, you need a fuse."
"And this most crucial line is this fuse."
"You need to rethink how to use a single sentence to unleash all the build-up from the beginning and make the audience feel emotionally connected with the character you created."
After saying that, Claudia handed the script to Helena.
Helena took it with both hands. "Yes, Mom, I will revise it."
"Yes, Mom believes you can come up with even better lines."
Seeing this, Leon blinked, thinking to himself with a slight admiration, "This Claudia is quite capable; she's giving instructions in a very professional manner."
As expected of the woman who wrote "The Gate of Nine Hells" and "The Soul Judgment," she certainly has some talent.
Moreover, her guidance was never boring; even bystanders like Leon and Losweiser could hear the extreme seriousness in Claudia's calm tone.
Claudia really didn't need to do that. After all, it was just a theatrical performance put together by the young dragons, and it's normal for a makeshift production to have flaws.
However, she still took it seriously, even if it was just a single line of dialogue, she would revise it carefully.
To be honest, Claudia's pragmatic personality reminded Leon of his teacher's wife.
That woman who speaks softly and gently, yet always gives Leon and his master the most stern and unyielding orders in the gentlest of tones.
A somewhat rough-around-the-edges farmer and a brat who was sent to the Dragon Slaying Academy at the age of ten—the life of this master and apprentice would normally be a mess, like that of most middle-aged men and will-o'-the-wisps.
But thankfully, with his wife around, they were able to live a comfortable and fulfilling life.
She took good care of the father and son, which is why her master loved her so devotedly.
Leon looked at Claudia.
Only now, after entering the room, did he take a closer look at the beautiful woman's face.
She's beautiful, that's true (but still not as beautiful as my Dragon Queen), but Leon feels like she looks familiar.
He recalled that when he first saw Claudia's photo in the future, he also felt that her face looked familiar.
But I can't quite put my finger on where I've seen it before, or who it resembles.
Leon scratched his head, thinking to himself that he wasn't the kind of stupid guy who would see a pretty woman and think, "I've seen this girl before"—
Although Hikaru made such a comment about him in the future, it was just a clever misunderstanding.
As I was pondering this, I heard a series of cheerful footsteps coming from the doorway.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
The little Dragon girl, carrying a large pile of props and clothes, walked neatly into the classroom.
"Oh, everyone's here."
Noa placed the prop she was holding on the ground, then looked at Claudia.
