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

Not back to that secret underground space, but... back to the past.

If fate generously gave Leon a chance to save everything after the desperate situation, then the so-called "everything" must not include Rossweisse.

Because to Leon, she is unique and cannot be classified into any category.

In Leon's heart, there is a small world that belongs to Rossweisse alone, and she fills this small world with everything.

Leon didn't want to include Rossweisse in his big project of "saving the future" -

She is Leon’s present, the only present;

As for the future, it does not belong to her or Leon, but to both of them.

"I understand, Noah. After I go back, I will never leave my mother again."

Noah smiled faintly, "What about us sisters? You don't care about us?"

"Of course I won't leave you either."

"It's hard to say."

Noa lowered her head and fiddled with her nails, pretending to be nonchalant. "What if one day you and your beloved wife get in the mood and leave us young at home and sneak off for a honeymoon?"

"Then you should be happy."

"why?"

"Because once the honeymoon is over, you might have a new sister."

"...After the strongest dragon slayer and the silver dragon queen get together, their life goal is just to keep having babies?"

"It is our duty to expand the population of the Melkve family!"

......

At dawn, two royal carriages arrived at the Imperial City Gate.

The number of guards here has been increased by at least twice, and all civilians are prohibited from entering or leaving. Any caravan must undergo routine inspections.

"Captain, those two carriages seem to be the royal family's special carriages, right?" The newcomer who had just joined the company saw the carriages slowly approaching at a glance.

The security captain glanced over there and nodded, "Well, it's not very common, especially when the empire is under martial law, they actually sent out a special carriage..."

The newcomer pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll go check it out."

After saying that, just as he was about to take a step, the newcomer was suddenly grabbed by the arm by the captain.

"What's wrong Captain?"

The captain said in a serious tone, "Don't be stupid, kid. Although we are under martial law, these are official carriages. Don't check every carriage carefully like you did before."

Thinking back to a few days ago, this new recruit had no experience, and was worrying about 200 gold coins while earning 20 gold coins. Isn't this just looking for trouble?

The whole city is under martial law, and this special case is a good opportunity to teach this newbie a lesson.

After the captain gave his instructions, he let go of the newcomer's shoulders and said, "Go ahead. You know what to do."

The newcomer stood there for two seconds before he nodded stiffly.

He turned around and walked towards the two carriages.

"Hey, let us pass quickly. We have delayed the transportation of the adults' goods. Can you afford the responsibility?" the coachman said in a bad tone.

The new guy pretended to be calm and forced a smile, "This is a special period, uncle, I'll just take a look, it won't waste time, please cooperate with us."

"Cooperation is bullshit!"

The coachman said firmly, "There are so many carriages ahead to check. By the time we get through, the flowers will be cold."

"Uncle, I have already checked all the time you have been shouting at me. Do you see the special passage over there? I will let you go through there after I finish checking it."

The coachman snorted coldly, and then reluctantly agreed, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't waste my time."

"Okay, uncle."

The newlyweds secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This should be his first time "negotiating" with people from other departments.

It’s still... a success.

The newlyweds came to the cargo hold of the carriage, opened the door and looked inside.

There were just bottles, jars and a few large wooden boxes. Looking from the warehouse door, you couldn't see anything.

The newcomer hesitated for a moment, then bent down and walked into the warehouse.

He struck the large wooden box with the sword he carried with him, making a dull sound.

At this time, Leon and Noa, who were hiding at the back of the warehouse, were ready to attack.

As soon as that guy discovered them, they would have to force their way through the city gate.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Noa stared at the floor of the warehouse and slowly raised her right hand. A trace of electric light flashed in her palm.

But Leon pressed her wrist.

Noa looked up.

"Shh~"

Leon sealed his lips with his index finger, signaling Noa not to act rashly.

Noa could see that Leon was also sweating profusely at this time.

Breaking through the city gate means they will face countless enemies and unknown situations.

She knew that her father was not afraid of any powerful opponent, but this was not a battlefield for a head-on fight.

The turbulent and dangerous undercurrent will always surge in places they cannot detect.

squeak - squeak -

The sound of boots hitting the wooden planks of the warehouse became clearer.

The father and daughter huddled together in a corner, holding their breath.

This time, Noah is really going to take action.

As long as that guy came one step closer, just one step, Noa would attack without hesitation - Leon let go of her wrist, which meant he tacitly agreed to her doing so.

however--

The other party suddenly stopped.

"Captain... you're right. I'm only getting 20 gold coins, why should I worry about 200 gold coins?"

The young imperial guard muttered, then snorted and left the warehouse.

boom--

The warehouse door closed, and the voice of the young newcomer came from outside, "Okay, uncle, let's go, this is the special passage! Oh, and don't forget to mention us gatekeepers in front of the adults."

"Okay, okay, go open the door." The coachman responded impatiently.

The carriage moved slowly and then began to pick up speed.

The father and daughter in the warehouse breathed a sigh of relief at once.

"Do you remember that person just now?" Leon asked.

"Well... a few days ago, he seemed to be determined to search every carriage in the caravan carefully. He is a very serious and responsible newcomer." Noa said.

"But in just a few days, he learned how to survive in the empire."

Noa shrugged, "That was fast."

The speed of falling into the quagmire is always so fast that people have no time to react.

Two royal carriages, carrying the empire's most wanted criminal and his three daughters, galloped away.

Chapter 280: 87 I'll be waiting for you in the past, Dad (More!!)

It turns out that Leon's strategy of "a thief never leaves empty-handed" is quite correct.

After successfully stealing the Heart-Protecting Dragon Scale and returning to the 'Secret Base', Orrola first tried a few dragon scales, but there was no sign that the reversal magic could be successfully activated.

After trying more than ten pieces, they finally came across a heart-protecting dragon scale with similar magical properties to Ravi.

The first test of the reversal magic was also successfully completed.

Now that the energy source problem has been solved, all that's left is careful debugging and modification to ensure that no accidents occur during the reversal process, such as tearing dad into pieces, or only sending the person back but not the clothes.

This process was also a huge undertaking, so Orrola did not dare to be negligent and worked day and night to perfect the reversal magic.

There are less than three months left, and she must send her father back before then to prevent her mother from fighting a desperate battle that ultimately leaves her in a coma.

During this period, Leon had been practicing the Nine Hells Gate overtime according to the techniques taught to him by his youngest daughter.

At the same time, he did not forget to condense and store magic power.

The battle of the space rift happened because he did not have enough time to prepare, so after he dealt with Sta, he was taken advantage of by Ravi and his three fellows and locked in the space barrier.

But this time, a full six months had passed, and with the rapid improvement of the Nine Hells Gate, let alone a sneak attack from the three Dragon Kings, even if the three Dragon Kings came head-on to fight, General Lai would only smile and say, "It's time for dinner."

Noa and Mu En were out on field duty as normal. In these last crucial few months, there must not be any mistakes.

Just like that, the four fathers and daughters each performed their duties, and everything... was in preparation for the day when the reversal magic was completed.

However...the busy and fulfilling life of preparing for war cannot keep Leon focused all the time.

He was always distracted by something else.

Rossweisse.

That night, with less than twenty-four hours left before the deadline, Leon came alone to the room where the Rossweisse crystal was stored, moved a chair over, and sat next to the crystal.

The beauty in the crystal still lies there quietly, her brows relaxed, looking peaceful and beautiful.

She folded her hands over her abdomen, with a photo pressed under her palms.

It was a 'couple photo' that the photographer took secretly of her and Leon when they went to take a family photo.

In the photo, the couple looked at each other with affectionate eyes.

On the back of the photo were written words that Leon would never forget:

“May the silver light always shine in the eyes of the one you love.”

Leon believed that before Rossweisse lost consciousness, she didn't know whether she could wake up.

For this unknown long sleep, Rossweisse chose to use this photo as her only companion.

Noah said that her mother didn’t understand emotions very well and wasn’t very good at expressing them.

But she knows what she cares about and what she can't live without.

In the world line where 'Leon does not exist', she held on alone for six months. She was the loneliest king on the throne and the saddest and most upset wife.

Until the moment before she fell into coma, did she believe that... Leon would definitely come back to save everything?

Over the past few months, Leon came here almost every night to be alone with Rossweisse for a long time.

Say nothing, do nothing, just quietly watch his sleeping wife.

But...

Every time before stepping into this room, Leon needs to prepare himself mentally for a long time.

He was terrified and scared, and sometimes his legs even trembled.

In those early days, Leon’s mentality was pretty good;

However, as time went by, especially in the last few days, he became more and more afraid to walk to Rossweisse's side, to look at her, or to tell her what was in his heart.

He is actually a very delicate and sensitive person, but he doesn't know how to regulate his negative emotions.

Just like a long time ago, after the Red Flame Dragon Clan's acting Dragon King Augu told him that "the dragon clan will take away everything from you", Leon also fell into deep self-reflection and self-doubt.

That time, he came out smoothly.
