Knight and Wand

Chapter 345: Changing the Heaven and the Sun
Facing Olivia's ridiculous self-blame.
Leon finally made her wish come true.

of course.

Not in the way she'd hoped.

Leon just hoped that the rooms in this annex were soundproof enough.

How should I put it? This was clearly my first time doing this, but I somehow felt somewhat familiar with it.

Could it be that in another destiny, my family and Ines had tried it?
"Woo~ This isn't considered a punishment."

"I don't think so. If it can make you so embarrassed and angry, it can certainly be considered a punishment. Isn't this how many parents discipline their disobedient children?"

"But I'm not a child~!"

But the indescribable loud sound once again aroused the girl's screams of resentment and shame.

When Olivia's annoyance had driven her to the point of shame and anger, Leon was turned over and pinned down by the intolerable girl, which finally dispelled her funny sense of guilt.

After the fighting and quarreling died down for a long time, Leon hugged the girl and held her right hand.

"What?" Olivia, who was leaning lazily, glanced sideways, puzzled by her husband's behavior.

"Let's see if I can return your family heirloom to you. It may be a little painful, but it's okay and it won't cause any harm." Leon tilted his head and kissed his wife's forehead lightly.

The bright sun shone from the back of his hand, and then suddenly disappeared along with his thoughts.

"It hurts~" Olivia couldn't help but squint her eyes. Normally, there weren't many feelings that could make her scream out in pain, but at this moment, she was just acting coquettishly towards Leon in the warm atmosphere on her body.

Leon loosened his palm, and the scorching sun pattern on the back of Olivia's hand slowly sank into her fair skin.

"This is?"

"The Holy Sword of the Sun is the sacred object of your Drakmar family's ancestors. Ines asked me to take it away and return it to you. It is too dangerous for the magic in this sword to remain in the palace." Leon explained.

"Concentrate and feel it carefully. Do you remember how to use it in your 'dream'? But don't summon it now, it will make too much noise."

Olivia nodded obediently after hearing this, and recalled some of the experiences in that hazy dream, then closed her eyes and meditated.

An illusory and invisible gorgeous sword emerged in her consciousness.

"Does this mean I can use magic?" Olivia opened her eyes and looked sideways with a little excitement.

"Well, the attack spell contained in this holy sword seems to have the function of guiding and suppressing the huge magic power in your body." Leon nodded.

In fact, even though the whole world was finally restored, he still had many puzzles.

Although she had pulled out the holy sword herself, Ines still could not use it.

And Olivia can.

If Olivia is gifted, it is because she was fortunate enough to inherit the forbidden magic bloodline of her ancestors that she was able to activate this ancestral holy sword.

But how can I use the Sun Sword?

It was obvious that neither himself nor the original owner's hunter's son had any relationship with the Drakmar family. They were not even remotely related.

It seems that every time this body runs out of magic power, its hair grows wildly. Could it be that the original owner has some magical atavistic bloodline, and his ancestors are closely related to the Drakmar family? But a head of black hair doesn't look like the blond and blue-eyed appearance of the Twilight Knight bloodline.

What’s even more strange is that, in experiencing different destinies, I am one of those people who rarely realize the memories of different destinies.

He had taken the initiative to ask Corvis and Lohak last night, but neither of them had any memory of their other destiny.

I asked the nobles of other kingdoms around me indirectly, but no one had any strange dreams.

He currently knew that the only people who could realize that the world had changed were himself, Ines, Olivia, Goliath, and the legendary Magic Emperor Atias.

Ines had personally experienced it as part of the activation of the Great Magic, but whether in that destiny or in the destiny that was now being restored, she had never dreamed of crossing her destiny.

Goliad was mysterious and unpredictable, and his identity was unknown, so he could not speculate.

The Magic Emperor of the Atias Empire, he had only heard of Corvis's terrifying legend and knew nothing else about him.

As for Olivia, she was not even in the palace when the magic was activated, but no matter what fate she was in, her little lion could, through dreams, just like Brandon, glimpse fragments of information before the world's trajectory changed.

Maybe it was because of the ancient Sun Guard's magic-resistant physique? Or maybe it was because of his blood connection with his ancestor, the Dusk Knight?
If I don’t talk about the above, what about me? How can I clearly realize that I have experienced two different life trajectories?

Is it just because I am the host of the great magic ceremony?

Being able to stay awake after the world changes, and at the same time being an outsider, using the Sun Sword as the anchoring source for the magic ritual? Is it that simple?
Leon subconsciously stroked the back of Olivia's hand, thinking in his heart that when he returned to Avalon, he must go into Ms. Aphrodite's library to study this terrifying magic that was like a miracle.

If you think about it carefully, whether it's the Neti card that allows the dead souls to return to the human world, or the time and space magic that changes the entire world, Aphrodite has created more than one miracle.

However, recalling the echo of time and space of the last magic display, Leon suddenly remembered the name mentioned by Aphrodite, the Dusk Knight, and the Great Lion Olivia.

"Olivia, do you know who 'Lola' is?"

".Lola?"

The girl put down her arms, looked sideways and shook her head blankly: "I have never heard of this name."

"You haven't dreamed about it either? Have you ever promised 'Ms. Lola' to protect my dreams before?"

"This..." Olivia pondered and shook her head firmly: "No, if it is a dream about you, I should not forget it."

After hearing this, Leon had to fall into thought again.

In another destiny, could the dream that the Golden Lion Queen Olivia talked about really be the experience in the third destiny besides the destiny she is experiencing now?
Laura
The names that could be mentioned by the ancient great magician and the Dusk Knight thousands of years ago were naturally people of their time.

Especially since they said that Ms. Lola had the ability to stop the great magic that the two were trying.

Then perhaps we can speculate that he should be a powerful spellcaster who is at least as powerful as Lady Aphrodite and is able to realize the changes in the world like Goliath and the Magic Emperor.

How could such a magician, who was at least the honorable "Magic Guide" of Gulorelit, be related to Olivia in another life?

She also asked Olivia to protect me?

Why? Why am I so proud?
With deep doubts and confusion, Leon had a headache.

Who is Laura, who is the "mother" that Gelvin mentioned, and who is the "teacher" that Aphrodite mentioned?

I returned to my familiar original destiny, but there were more mysteries in my heart.

As Leon pondered, the mysterious Goliad came to his mind. Perhaps the bard knew something?
After all, if he hadn't pointed out the key to reversing magic, the two of them would have had to wander around in the world of "three years later" for a long time before they found a way to restore everything.

It is not easy to see that elusive poet again.

To be honest, maybe this guy was the one who initiated every encounter, so it's hard to say whether it was a real "chance encounter" in Dragonmaw City that year.

I just don't know if I can still find him if I send out notices and messages in the name of "Leon Johnson" to invite him to Avalon for a chat.

After all, apart from Goliath, where else could he find information about the ancient events thousands of years ago?
and many more!

A name suddenly jumped into Leon's mind.

Garron!
Garron Farolis, the first Count of Thornflower, was the mage guard of Lady Aphrodite a thousand years ago.

Yes, how could I forget the powerful ancient hero that I summoned in the beginning.

Olivia's bloodline was discovered by the ancestor of the Farolis family.

Who else could know Aphrodite, Gelvin and others better than the Yanyang Guards from more than a thousand years ago.

Moreover, compared to the bard who loves to tell riddles to keep people suspenseful, the ancestor of the thorn flower is an honest man who speaks clearly.

But thinking of this, Leon couldn't help but curse in his heart and felt frustrated again.

Damn Valencia!

If Garron had not been torn apart by the Peacock Knight in the Battle of Usato, he would have only had to return to the Mage Tower to borrow the magic power of the earth's spirit veins to summon the Thorn Flower Ancestor, and just have a casual chat with him to figure out these confusing secrets.

I am really confused. Why didn't I ask Garron about the ancient events at the end of the Lorelit civilization a thousand years ago when his Heroic Spirit Card was still intact?
Before I traveled through time, I had always been very interested in history.

With a puzzled sigh, Leon's desire to repair the silver Neti card became more and more urgent.

Moon Meteorite Silver, if Ines can really help me get it.

So if he wanted to reforge Garron's silver medal, he would just need the "Isua Soul Stone".

After returning to Avalon, shall we set out to look for the ancient elven ruins recorded in the ancient books of the Mage Tower?
A floating island on the Dragon Heart Peninsula of the Kingdom of Aurelia.

There is also the large island of Isulan in the ocean south of the mainland.

The latter has no other clues except for the markings on ancient maps.

The former is easy to find. I have heard from the Knights of the Holy Lake and the Rangers of the Holy Court Kingdom in the past that the miraculous floating island is very conspicuous in the sky, and the land flying in the sky can be seen even outside the borders.

It is said that in history, a certain Aurelia king had imagined building a palace on it, overlooking the country like a god, but this wasteful and costly fantasy was soon extinguished by the impracticability of reality. The floating island can only be landed on by flying beasts, so it is conceivable how inconvenient it would be to transport people and materials up and down.

In particular, even if they can be self-sufficient with the land on the floating island after moving up, they will not be able to travel around easily, which is equivalent to isolating the rule in disguise. Apart from satisfying the king's vanity, it is not worth the cost.

Do you want to make separate trips?
The journey to Dragon Heart Peninsula is not short. According to the precise distance markings on ancient maps, even if you take a griffin and do not delay anything, it will take more than three months to go to the center of the continent and more than three months to come back.

The journey of more than half a year back and forth made Leon sigh. Although the griffin was convenient, it was still not as efficient as the airplanes in his previous life.

What's more, if the soul stone cannot be found on the floating island of Dragon Heart Peninsula, it would be a pure waste of time.

Suddenly, recalling his wandering career in another destiny, a long-lost idea suddenly popped into Leon's mind.

How about asking the knights-errant of the eastern kingdoms for help, offering a high reward to help him find the soul stones?
See which heroes are practicing the way of the ranger. Maybe they would be interested in going to Aurelia or even going out to sea to find the island of Isulan for you.

Life in the palace was very peaceful during those few days. Although their movements were restricted and they could not move around freely, the new king did not neglect the nobles' daily necessities. In the beautiful courtyard of the kingdom, Leon simply treated these few days as a leisure vacation without caring about worldly affairs.

Anyway, Olivia was by his side, and Akau and Lohak were next door to him. In the past few days, apart from dealing with the inquiries of the guards, the four of them spent their days in the corridor villa playing cards and chess, practicing martial arts and competing with each other, and they seemed to be living a very happy life.

Ines hasn't come to see him in the past few days. Perhaps she is also restricted in her movements?
Or maybe he hasn't figured out how to get along with Olivia?
As batches of nobles who cooperated with the Royal Guards' investigation were allowed to leave the palace, on this day, Leon waited for King Eric to summon him privately before leaving the palace.

As a hero who saved the three princesses and killed the invaders, and who had previously quelled the riot in the royal city, although he failed to save Redwin III, he still had merits that cannot be ignored, and it was expected that he would be specially summoned.

What made him feel strange and fortunate was that it seemed that his previous excuse about Olivia's facial injury had worked, and the other party did not summon Olivia, who broke into the palace that night, broke Vizmara's limbs and captured him alive.

Arrive at the throne room.

Leon bowed to Eric who was sitting upright and thanked him for the generous reward. He also found an opportunity to communicate with the new king.

"Your Majesty Eric, the late king once entrusted me to train court mages for the royal family. Now I don't know when I can fulfill my duties and select apprentices for the academy from the major families in the royal territory." Leon asked respectfully.

However, unexpectedly, what responded to him from the throne was Eric's long silence.

Leon lowered his head as per etiquette, staring at the steps to the throne, and secretly glanced at his future brother-in-law out of the corner of his eye.

Eric finally spoke.

"It has always been difficult for wizards to return to their original aspirations. My father's story has proven this. I will personally consider the matter of the court wizard. Baron Pendragon does not need to worry about it from now on. I have other plans."

Leon was stunned when he heard this.

Is this a euphemism for not letting me continue?

It turns out that the kingdom's magic commissioner was fired by the new king before he even started working?

I swear to God, he hasn't had time to make any money from it yet. Leon was helpless. The attitudes of this father and son were so different.

However, if you insist, I can understand it.

His father had just died in a conspiracy planned by treasonous wizards, and the other party had spent a long time in the eastern part of the kingdom guarding the border and monitoring disloyalty, and had never worked with him, so it was understandable that they did not trust him so much now.

Do you want to try again?
As Leon pondered, he changed his mind and realized that wasn't the reason he took this job just for the Wang family's Moon Meteorite Silver?
Since Ines said she could get it for me, I might as well not do the job.

Although without the financial support from the royal family, the territory's finances would probably have to add a large amount of money to the magic academy, but it was not to say that it could not be supported. Besides, how could the rich woman Ines not help him?

"In that case, I will obey your majesty's orders." Leon bowed his head in greeting and turned to leave.

Watching him leave, Eric stood up thoughtfully, left the throne room, and dismissed his close ministers and servants and the loyal Dusk Blood Guards.

"I want to mourn my father, brothers, and lover. Please don't disturb me unless it's important."

After that, he walked through the long inner corridor and entered the secret room. Eric poured himself a glass of wine, took out a paper bag and sprinkled some strangely colored powder into it, then drank it all in one gulp.

His face twitched slightly and then gradually relaxed, as if he was enduring severe pain.
