Chapter 463
Leon didn't expect his master and mistress to have Dragon Mark on their bodies to store Magic Power, like he and Losweiser did.
Putting aside his wife's conservative nature, his master's health... probably can't withstand any more strain.
We'll have to wait until my master and mistress have recovered a bit more before we can do the Dragon Mark.
Even though he can't use magic, it's still a good thing for his master. He can finally enjoy his old age after a lifetime of hard work.
"Oh, that's good. Didn't Dad say when he'd be coming back to see us?"
Rebecca paused, then her tone suddenly lowered, "Or is it that Dad isn't coming back..."
For Rebecca, who lost both her parents at a young age, Tiger Dad was like her second father.
At the age when she needed guidance the most, it was Tiger Dad who led her onto the path of Dragon Slayer, thus beginning the legendary life of this genius gunner.
Without her father, Rebecca might still be fighting for territory with thugs in some dark, smelly alley.
So even after being separated from Tiger for so long, Rebecca still misses that little old man.
"How could that be? Of course Master will come back."
Rebecca's eyes lit up, her big eyes filled with joy. "Really?"
"Really. Once Master and Mistress recover a bit more, they'll be able to come back to see you."
This isn't Leon making things up.
When I visited my master a few days ago, the old man did indeed show an eagerness to return to the Empire.
However, due to health reasons, he needs to recuperate for a while longer, so he can only stay with the Sea Dragon race for the time being.
It's worth noting that even a powerful general like General Leon was saved from death by his wife's Heart-protecting Dragon Scale, and it took him two whole years to wake up—
Although part of this was due to his Blood Seduction.
"Yay!"
Leon smiled, then glanced back at the group of Dragon Race behind him before turning away. "It's about time. I should go. The rest of the procedures will be handled by designated personnel. Don't worry, they are all trustworthy."
"Yes, I understand."
"That's settled then. Remember to contact me via Messenger Dragon if anything happens."
"Good."
After giving his instructions, Leon nodded and then turned to walk towards the Dragon Race.
Nacho let out a slow sigh, put his hands in his pockets, and watched Leon's retreating figure, saying softly,
"Your captain always manages to give me unexpected surprises."
"Sigh, I don't know when we'll meet again." The girl said with a hint of sadness.
However, Nacho seemed very worried.
"It shouldn't be too long."
Rebecca lifted her pretty little face and looked at Nacho, "What do you mean?"
"I have a feeling that the trouble that guy called 'Shadow' will cause us will be no less than that of Cantor."
Amidst the expectant and admiring gazes of the Dragon Kings, Casmod, hailed as the Light of the Dragon Race, returned to them.
"The negotiations went smoothly. They agreed to return a portion of the Dragon Race's territory and accept resource compensation from the Dragon Race."
"Wow, you've settled such an important matter with the human Queen in just a few minutes, Silver Dragon Prince. I never imagined you were not only brave and skilled in battle, but also a master negotiator. You're truly a man of both martial and intellectual prowess," Morgan said.
Do you think it's possible that the Queen on the other side is me? How much time would it take me to negotiate with myself?
"Not at all, Senior Morgan, you flatter me."
Although this guy talks a lot of nonsense, he's practically of the same generation as Odin, so his strength is not to be underestimated. Calling him a senior is perfectly fine.
The other dragon kings also came up to praise Leon.
They wouldn't miss such an opportunity to shower them with compliments.
Since General Leon first killed Old Kang, then destroyed Star, and finally sacrificed himself to stop the spread of the spatial rift, his and the Silver Dragon Clan's reputation has slowly been established among the Dragon Race.
Moreover, Leon has recently become so close to Odin, the old Thunder Dragon King, that the other Dragon Kings have no choice but to pay attention to this once unknown but now remarkable young man.
So, by showering them with compliments and cultivating a relationship with the Silver Dragon Clan, they might be able to curry favor with Leon in the future.
Why not?
However, Leon is clearly not someone who is good at accepting praise.
For example, right now.
Although he still had a smile on his face, he secretly wished he could link up all those recipients of the Special Merit.
In the end, it was Losweiser who came to his rescue.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my husband has been working tirelessly for several days in preparation for today's negotiations, and he is now completely exhausted, both physically and mentally. We appreciate your kindness and goodwill, and we can keep in touch by letter later. Please allow my husband to rest today."
As she spoke, the Queen naturally took Leon's arm and gave the group of dragon kings in front of her a very standard apologetic smile.
The Dragon Kings naturally said no more and retreated.
Finally, Losweiser looked at Odin, who was standing at the front, and he had been silently observing Leon's performance.
"I also thank Senior Odin for recommending my husband to be the representative of this Human-Dragon negotiation."
"No need for thanks. Capable people deserve the praise of others."
Odin lowered his hands, slowly turned around, and before taking a step, he glanced back at Leon.
"Don't forget our agreement, Silver Dragon Prince."
Leon nodded. "I won't forget."
"Okay. Until we meet again."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind swept by, and the Thunder Dragon King spread his wings that blotted out the sky, transforming into a dark blue giant dragon, leading his people away from this place.
The other tribes didn't linger either, and after saying goodbye, they all flew away.
"You and Odin made a pact?" Losweiser asked.
"Okay, I promise him, we'll have a spar if we have time."
"What benefits will you get?"
Leon paused, blinked, and then looked down at his right hand.
"There's no benefit to it. But to borrow a phrase from the Crimson Flame Dragon King..."
Leon spread his five fingers, then slowly clenched his fist.
"The battle was exhilarating!"
33 You'll see.
Not long after the Human-Dragon negotiation, this protracted and unprecedented war was finally officially declared over.
Although Leon still had the mysterious 'Lord Shadow' on his mind, the peaceful days were hard-won, and even if they were short, he should cherish and enjoy them.
So let's just let all those troubles, messy conspiracies, and stuff go far away for now.
In any case, General Leon is going back to being a stay-at-home dad.
This wasn't General Leon's own decision to "retire"; he was forced to "leave his post."
He was once the Empire's strongest Dragon Slayer.
But now, the empire is gone, the Human-Dragon War is over, and he, a Dragon Slayer, is now "unemployed".
Living a peaceful and stable life is more important than anything else!
However, on the other hand...
Even without slaying dragons, Leon, living in a dragon's lair, still has to outwit and outfight a certain silver dragon every day.
The Fake Human-Dragon War:
The two sides fought to the death for over a century, ultimately ending with both sides suffering heavy losses.
The real battle between humans and dragons:
You bastard, don't even think about getting a good night's sleep if you don't hand in two assignments tonight!
The saying "when people are well-fed and warm, they think of lust" applies not only to humans but also to Female Dragon King.
Especially the Female Dragon King, who has been married for nearly six years, is at the age when she is most "restless".
At dinner, Losweiser ate very little.
After finishing her meal, she slowly rose, walked behind Leon's chair, gently placed her soft hand on his shoulder, and whispered,
"Don't stay out too late with your daughters, go back to your room early."
It is well known that couples who have been married for many years often develop a certain tacit understanding.
For example, there are all sorts of slang terms used for submitting homework.
Phrases like "Honey, I recently bought a really pretty new nightgown, do you want to see it?" or "Hey, my back is a little itchy, can you scratch it for me?" are common slang used by couples before they get intimate.
The same applies to Leon and Losweiser.
"Don't stay out too late with your daughters" means...
I'm going to stay up all night with you tonight.
Leon paused in his eating, glancing sideways at the slender hand on his shoulder, thinking that his body hadn't fully recovered yet, and that the Dragon Queen definitely wouldn't play OIO again.
In other words, if the "battle" breaks out tonight, Leon will be at a disadvantage.
"Well... I'm going to teach Noa magic tonight, right?"
"No need, Dad, I want to practice by myself for a while tonight."
Tonight, the King of Scrolls will use the Night Spirit Crystal he obtained earlier to cultivate Primal Magic with the ancestor in his mind.
So I politely declined my Dad's offer.
"... Then, I still need to play the Dragon Knight game with Mu En."
"Daddy, you told Mu En yesterday that he can't play games like Dragon Knight that involve fighting and killing anymore, and Mu En was very obedient."
Although Little Moon didn't know that the Human-Dragon War had ended, she knew she had to listen to her Daddy. If her Daddy said not to play, then she wouldn't play.
"...Little, Little Light—"
"If I refuse Dad's request, it seems like tonight will be more enjoyable, right?"
The Dragon of Pleasure didn't know much about adult matters, but judging from his Dad's reaction, as long as he refused, something funny was bound to happen somewhere tonight.
So, after asking around, General Leon couldn't grasp any of these three lifelines.
Finally, the Queen slowly leaned down, brought her voice close to his ear, and whispered...
"Trust me, little lion, tonight will have what you want to see most."
After saying that, Losweiser gently patted Leon's cheek, said goodbye to her daughters, and left the restaurant in her high heels.
Leon, who had initially thought of "just getting by day by day," immediately changed his mind after hearing Losweiser's words.
She knew what Leon most wanted to see;
Leon also knew that she knew what he most wanted to see;
Everyone knows what General Leon most wants to see.
So--
"Noa, practice your magic diligently. Mu En, think of new games. Xiao Guang can refuse Dad without any guilt. Lastly, and most importantly, nobody come to play with Dad tonight!"
The Dragon girl watched blankly as their father rushed out of the dining room.
That incredible speed made Noa suspect that her father had become so extravagant that he even used Lightning magic to travel.
Xiao Guang blinked, then chuckled.
"What a childish adult."
