Shut up, I don't want to have children with you anymore.

"Rebecca..."

The updates have been going on for the past two days and it is expected that General Lai will be able to go home and reunite with the Big Dragon on New Year's Eve. Please give me your monthly votes!

Chapter 277: 85 Come, call me godmother

Twenty years have passed. As a pure-blooded human who has never traveled through the space rift, Rebecca has naturally grown and aged in this world where 'Leon Casmode does not exist'.

She no longer had the crazy neurotic personality she had before, and just the words "Long time no see" revealed her calmness and restraint.

Although he hasn't grown taller, his fashion sense has improved dramatically. He wears slim-fit trousers with a black windbreaker, which really shows off his figure.

The iconic double ponytails of that year have now become single ponytails, probably to make them easier to manage.

Leon didn't expect to meet Rebecca again under such circumstances.

He opened his mouth and suppressed the surprise and excitement in his heart, "I thought you were no longer in the Empire after the master left."

Rebecca put away her gun and walked over. "Dad is too old to continue working in the empire, but I'm still alive and well, so there's no need for me to leave. What's more..."

Rebecca tilted her head slightly, looking past Leon and at the three girls behind him.

Leon followed her gaze and remembered that Rebecca seemed to have never seen her daughters. She only saw Noa and Moon when they were young in photos.

So Leon introduced them, "Oh, they are my--"

"Daughter," Rebecca said calmly, "I know."

"Eh? You... have met before?"

Before Rebecca could answer, Noah came over and stood beside Rebecca naturally. She smiled and greeted, "Aunt Rebecca."

A trace of displeasure and helplessness flashed across Rebecca's cyan eyes. She sighed, "How many times have I told you not to call me aunt? It makes me seem very old."

"But you and dad are of the same generation, so we can only call you aunt." Orrola stood behind with her hands in her pockets, explaining slowly.

"Yeah, sister and Xiaoguang are right!" Mu En agreed.

Rebecca crossed her arms over her chest, looked up at Noa, who was 1.7 meters tall, with her height of less than 1.6 meters, and complained indifferently,

"I haven't seen you three for a few years. Are you three just focusing on growing taller? What a mess your heads are filled with."

The ability to complain has declined.

But Leon seemed to realize something as he listened to the conversation between his old teammates and his daughters.

"Noa, that very reliable informant you mentioned...is that Rebecca?"

Noa nodded. "Twenty years ago, you disappeared into a space rift, and the news spread quickly throughout the Empire. After Grandpa Tiger and Aunt Rebecca found out, they risked being discovered to contact Mom, and that's when we met."

"Still in that mountain stream cave, Dad and I decided to stay in the empire and see if we can find a way to reopen the space rift. If we can't find it, then we will avenge you in our own way."

Rebecca said, "For twenty years, Dad and I have been wanted. We were caught twice, but Martin helped us escape from prison by working in the royal family and faking it to be an accident."

"Martin...how is he now?" Leon asked.

In Leon's memory, during the years when he was captured by the silver dragon, Martin turned back into the cowardly boy he was at the beginning.

He actually hoped that Martin could learn to be strong and brave without him.

After all, being born in a royal minister's family, being cowardly will only make the enemy bully you even more.

"Martin has changed a lot since dealing with Victor's situation twenty years ago."

Rebecca said, "Maybe it's because he knows his favorite captain is still alive, or maybe it's for some other reason, but anyway, your little fanboy is doing very well after taking over his dad's position."

"He...took over his father's position?"

"Yes. But don't worry, Martin has not lost his original intention because of power. Fortunately, with his help, I can get the latest information inside the royal family in the first place and then disclose it to Noah."

Rebecca said, "So, did you successfully obtain the Heart-Protecting Dragon Scale?"

Leon shook the black bag filled with things in his hand.

Rebecca raised her eyebrows and was slightly surprised, "Did you take out all the dragon scales?"

"A thief never leaves empty-handed."

"This is a serious crime, the minimum sentence is ten hangings," said Rebecca.

"Is there any difference between ten hangings and one?" Leon shrugged. "Anyway, he died in disgrace the first time, and the next nine times will just be minced meat sauce at best."

"I hate Bolognese," said Rebecca.

After some banter, the two old teammates looked at each other.

After a while, they opened their arms at the same time and hugged each other.

Rebecca clung to the captain's arms, which were solid and warm. She tried hard to hold back her sore tears and muttered, "Twenty years ago, when I wanted to hug you, you took half a step back."

"Things are different now," Leon said.

Mu En blinked and said steadily, "Why is the situation different?"

Leon: ...

Do you really want to know, baby?

Because at that time your mother and I were still in love, so if I went out and hugged another pretty girl, would I still be considered a man?

But now your mom and I are an old married couple, and we both know how much each other loves us, so she won’t mind if I hug my old teammate~

"Second sister, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Men are like this after being married for a long time." Orrola tried to hold back her laughter.

Rebecca pushed Leon away, looked at Leziren, and asked calmly, "Little Pink Hair, what do you think about recognizing me as your godmother?"

"You just said we are not allowed to call you aunt! Why are you bringing up the godmother thing now?"

"Aunt is aunt, godmother is godmother. So, call me godmother?"

Orrola stamped her feet and asked her good sister for help, "Sister! Look at her, she's bullying me again!"

Noa waved her hand, indicating that she should not be approached about such matters.

She couldn't do anything about Rebecca's mouth.

Leon blinked and understood.

This is what they call "evil will be punished by evil"!

When two complainers meet, they will compete to see who can talk more eloquently.

Apparently, Rebecca beat up Xiao Guang!

"Are you going to be out of town before daybreak?" Rebecca asked.

"Well, time is short and the task is heavy. I have to continue to perfect the reversal magic after I return."

Leon paused, then added, "Oh, reversal magic is--"

"I know. Noa briefly explained this to me when we exchanged information."

Rebecca said, "Although I don't quite understand the theory of reversal magic, but anyway...Captain, you are going to save the world again, right?"

"Oh, I don't want to either, but the ability is here, I have to go."

Right.

King B is back, still with the familiar recipe, still with the familiar taste.

Rebecca felt like something was missing in her life after not seeing the captain act cool for twenty years.

Now my life is complete.

"But before saving the world, we have to leave the empire first, right?" Rebecca said.

"Yes, but we kidnapped Nacho a few hours ago in order to obtain the exact location of the heart-protecting dragon scales. This has already alerted the empire, so if we want to get out... the risk will be very high."

Leon said, "I plan to sneak to the city gate before dark, and then have Noa and the others transform into dragons and force their way in. The Silver Dragon Clan has a natural speed advantage, so it shouldn't be difficult to shake off the pursuers."

Rebecca's thoughts moved slightly, and she analyzed,

"But the Empire has raised a lot of dangerous flying species in the past twenty years. Although the overall capabilities of most of these dangerous species are not as perfect as those of the dragon race, their speed alone... I'm afraid they can be on par with silver dragons. If the Empire sends out such dangerous species to chase you, it will still be difficult for you to escape."

"Is this so..."

Leon was at a loss for a moment.

It's easy to get in but hard to get out.

If he found a place in the empire to hide out temporarily, Leon couldn't be sure how long this "temporary" would be.

Now there are less than three months left before the six months that Orrola mentioned at the beginning.

They are pressed for time and cannot waste it on tug-of-war with the empire.

Must get out of town as soon as possible.

"How about this, I'll ask Martin to arrange to send you out of the city using the royal carriage."

Rebecca said, "Although the whole city is under martial law now, there is still hope. We can take a gamble. If we are discovered, it won't be too late to force our way in."

Leon thought about Rebecca's suggestion. Now that things had come to this, there was nothing else he could do.

"So how long will it take you to get Martin arranged?"

Rebecca raised a beautiful eyebrow, "Now, how?"

Chapter 278: 86 Falling into the Quagmire

Martin arranged a total of two royal freight carriages.

Although the whole city is under martial law, when the royal carriage comes out, no one dares to go up and say much. At most, they chat with the coachman for a few words, and then let it go.

After all, no one could have imagined that the empire's most wanted criminal twenty years ago could sneak into the royal carriage just after stealing the heart-protecting dragon scales.

In the warehouse, Leon and Noa were squeezed side by side in a corner, swaying slightly as the carriage sped along.

Noa curled up her long legs and leaned against Leon, muttering, "Sometimes I really wish my father was a top warlock who could change size at will, so it wouldn't be so crowded."

"I don't know if the warlock who urinates and defecates anywhere is top-notch, but he definitely has no quality." Leon played a pun with his daughter.

Nuoya rolled her eyes at her with a smile, "Xiao Guang said that your pick-up skills are terrible, I think you are quite good at it, right? So, who opened up to you first, you or mom?"

"Of course it's your mother, could it be me?"

"Hmph...was it the first time you returned to the Empire? Mommy held you in her arms and told you a lot."

Leon was stunned, “She even told you this?”

"Ah."

Noah said, "Mom is not a person who knows how to express her feelings, nor is she the one who takes the initiative in relationships. I really don't know how much courage it took for her to say those words to you. She probably felt...that she would never see you again, so she said that."

Leon pursed his dry lips and remained silent.

Looking back on the development of his relationship with Rossweisse, it seemed that the most crucial turning point was indeed the day they first separated.

Rossweisse took the initiative to hug Leon and said so much to him.

After returning from the Empire, she mentioned the matter of "confession" for the first time.

But Leon never responded directly.

Noah's words just now woke Leon up.

Rossweisse doesn't really understand emotions, or love, and isn't good at expressing it, but she's the one who takes the initiative every time.

Leon still remembers the night when Rossweisse wanted him to say "I love you".

On the surface, it looked like she wanted Leon to take the initiative;

But if you think about it carefully, isn't it because you have already fallen in love with the other person and therefore hope that the other person will respond?

That female dragon... is so awkward and tsundere.

Of course, the same goes for myself.

"Hey." Noa nudged Leon's arm.

"Ah...ah?"

"After you go back, don't leave your mother again, understand."

"After returning..."

Leon was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what Noah meant by 'after returning'.
