Chapter 431
Leon also remarked with a sigh, "It's true what they say: when disaster strikes, everyone flies away."
"We will continue to investigate Elizabeth."
"Okay, be careful."
"Okay. We'll get back to work then, Rebecca."
"I'm going to keep bullying the captain."
Let's go!
Martin stepped forward and hoisted the small Rebecca onto his shoulder.
"Martin! You have no idea how terrible the future will be! We should take advantage of him when he becomes a wheelchair-bound man!"
Rebecca kicked her legs on Martin's shoulder.
The crazy girl's voice gradually faded into the distance.
Leon smiled helplessly, "What a fuss, crazy girl."
"Now that everything is resolved, I'll head back now."
Claudia said, "I've been out for a while now, and the Sea Dragon race can't leave me for too long. Besides, I need to tell Charlotte and your master about the situation here as soon as possible; they must be very worried."
"Okay, please tell Master and Mistress that I will visit them as soon as I finish things here," Leon said.
"You're welcome."
Claudia laughed and said, "Don't forget what you two promised me."
Upon hearing this, the couple exchanged glances, then nodded tacitly to Claudia.
"I won't forget, senior. Just bring Helena to our house when the time comes."
Claudia nodded in satisfaction. "See you both in a while."
"Take care on your journey, senior."
After saying goodbye, Claudia transformed into a blue Flood Dragon and soared into the boundless night sky.
Losweiser watched Claudia walk away until she was out of sight, then turned her gaze to the fool in the wheelchair.
Leon also noticed the Dragon Queen's gaze and slowly turned his head to look at her.
The couple looked at each other for a moment, before Losweiser spoke first.
"Now everyone knows that you, the Dragon Slayer hero, married a Dragon Race wife."
Leon knew she was referring to the time they had just hugged and kissed in front of thousands of people.
To be honest, it's already pretty shocking that Dragon Slayer would marry a dragon.
However, Leon hasn't told everyone yet: I not only married a dragon, but we even had three children.
Leon chuckled, then pretended to be serious and said...
"So what? You didn't refuse, did you?"
The Queen was taken aback, then kicked one of his wheelchair wheels in an annoyed manner.
"My not refusing does not mean I agree."
Leon:?
Good, good, good. We just finished fighting the Empire, and now you're boxing here. Your Queen has some great boxing skills!
However, Leon knew that she was just joking with him, using her proud and aloof nature.
So, in response to Losweiser, she said,
"Well, Your Majesty, there was no other way. The atmosphere was already so tense, it wouldn't be right not to give each other a kiss."
Losweiser blushed and looked away, "Idiot..."
The couple bickered and exchanged cheesy pick-up lines, and before long, more wounded people were carried into the front yard of the welfare home.
Although the devastating battle that just took place did not result in any civilian deaths, quite a few people were injured.
Hospitals in several districts are short of beds, but fortunately the nuns at the welfare home know some first aid and can handle simple injuries without any problem.
So everyone carried the wounded here.
Leon also just arrived.
Among the wounded, Leon spotted a familiar figure.
Constantine walked into the courtyard with a look of disdain that seemed to say, "How can such lowly humans live in such a dilapidated place?" He then glanced around and, upon seeing Leon, strode towards him.
"Leon".
Old Kang walked up to Leon, glanced at his right leg in a cast, and asked, "What, completely broken?"
"... It can be cured."
"That's good, so that I won't be unable to defeat you when you're healthy in the future."
"Haha, your Dragon King is so humorous."
"Stop talking nonsense, when are you going to give me that room Primal Secret Manuals you promised me?"
Leon scratched his forehead, his eyes darting around. After a brief moment of mental contemplation, he said seriously,
"I just finished dealing with matters concerning the Empire, and there's still a lot of work to be done. I'll give it to you once I'm done."
The pie in the sky keeps getting bigger and bigger.
Constantine narrowed his eyes slightly as he sized up Leon.
Leon calmly returned his gaze.
After a long eye contact, Constantine said,
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Oh, and one more thing—"
"Brother Leon!"
A girl's cheerful voice came from the side, interrupting Constantine and Leon's conversation.
The group looked in the direction of the sound.
It was little Sister Sharon and Teacher Caroline.
"Sharon, Teacher Caroline," Leon said with a smile and a wave.
"Leon".
Teacher Caroline stepped forward with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's alright, the trouble has been resolved anyway, and no one will withhold funding from the orphanage anymore."
"Yes, thank you for everything."
"Not at all, I was just clearing my name and incidentally saving some people."
Upon hearing this, Losweiser silently covered her face.
It's installed again.
Even Lao Kang couldn't help but sigh.
At the same time, I wondered to myself:
Damn it, why did I ever get defeated by such an idiot back then?!
"Brother Leon, you're really something."
The young nun complained, "Why didn't you just tell us you were back a few days ago? Why did you have to pretend?"
Leon scratched his head and explained, "Ah, back then... it wasn't convenient to recognize each other, and it might have caused you some unnecessary trouble."
Sharon blinked, seemingly lost in thought. "Is that so..."
"Um."
"But even so, you can't use the fake name Constantine."
Leon was taken aback and stole a glance at Old Kang beside him.
The Crimson Flame Dragon King remained expressionless, but his eyes held an urge to smash Leon's wheelchair to pieces.
"Constantine... what's wrong with that name? It's so nice, so majestic."
To avoid being criticized by Old Kang, Leon decided to offer a reluctant compliment.
"Not imposing at all! It's fierce-looking, not even half as nice-sounding as your name, Brother Leon!"
"..."
"Hey, human."
Constantine, finally unable to recognize him, spoke up, "I am Constantine."
Sharon:...
Oh no, the flood has destroyed the Dragon King Temple.
It was already past midnight, and the light was dim, so Sharon didn't recognize Constantine behind Leon and thought he was a member of the Lionheart Society.
Old Kang's tone carried the majesty of a dragon king, which somewhat frightened Sharon.
Teacher Caroline shielded Sharon behind her, fearing that the Dragon King in front of her might suddenly turn on her.
Although the Dragon Kings helped to overthrow the empire's rule, the stereotype that "Dragon Race are inherently cruel and bloodthirsty" has been deeply ingrained in the minds of the empire's people.
It's really unlikely that they'll change their minds so quickly.
"Constantine, you've scared my friend," Leon said.
Old Kang snorted coldly, "Boring humans."
The mighty Crimson Flame Dragon King naturally wouldn't stoop to the level of a little girl. Constantine flicked his sleeves and walked towards the door.
A blue-haired man stood in front of the gate of the orphanage.
It's Fael.
Before leaving, Constantine turned back halfway and said, "Leon, until we meet again."
As soon as he finished speaking, a giant, dark blue dragon suddenly appeared on the street, startling the people in the courtyard.
Fael flapped his dragon wings and carried Constantine into the night sky.
Teacher Caroline also breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is truly... I've never seen a dragon this close before."
She looked away and turned to Leon. "So, what are your plans next?"
Leon thought for a moment and replied, "I'll stay in the Empire for a few days to help Rebecca and the others handle the follow-up work. Then..."
"Then?"
"Go home with my wife."
3. Stealing offerings!
A few days after the end of the Imperial War, the cleanup work was also completed.
Currently, the internal operations of the entire empire are entirely handled by the core members of the Lionheart Society and the ministers and officials who previously refused to collude with Cantor's group.
Martin's father was among them.
It's worth mentioning that initially, there wasn't enough manpower, and they couldn't even handle tasks like compiling data.
Fortunately, Rebecca had a bright idea and said that since we were looking for good and honest officials, we should look for them in prison.
Although this sounds like something out of hell, it has to be admitted that it is indeed a good idea.
So, after several days of tireless efforts, the empire was able to get back into operation without Cantor and a bunch of corrupt officials.
As for the election of the new King, that will have to wait some time.
From the election method to the candidate pool, these all need to be carefully considered before a final decision is made.
