"Where did you find it?" Rossweisse asked.
"Under the bed."
"Is it...Moon's?"
Leon shook his head, memories flooding back to his mind. He stroked the wooden box and whispered, "It belongs to Noa. Before I came back from the future, Noa burned this wooden box."
Rossweisse raised an eyebrow, "Why?"
"She said... these things here are of extraordinary significance to her, but when tragedy strikes, these things that should have been a reminder of her longing become torture. If I hadn't been able to change the past and put the world back on track, then there would be no point in her keeping this wooden box."
Leon said, "I made this Rubik's Cube for her and Mu En a long time ago. Her name is on this piece of paper. I wrote her name on it when I taught Mu En how to write it. And this composition was written based on our first date in Sky City. She even won a prize at that time."
There is one thing in Noa's personality that is very similar to Rossweisse's, that is, she seems to care about nothing on the surface and has an indifferent attitude towards everything.
But in fact, they are very thoughtful and will carefully guard anything they cherish.
We strive to achieve perfection in the details.
Just like the Rubik's Cube that she had kept for so long, the note that had been there for so long, and the essay that carried the first beautiful memories between him and Rossweisse.
"That child...cares about this family more than we thought." Rossweisse said with a smile.
"Um..."
Compared with her peers, Noah is indeed more mature and has more things on her mind.
At the same time, this will also make her mental journey more difficult than other young dragons.
Whether in the future or now, Noah will always be the most sensible one.
Speaking of fatherly love, Leon gave the same amount of fatherly love to each of his daughters. He loved every child and regarded them as the apple of his eye.
But if he had to talk about debt, he felt that the person he owed the most was... Noa.
It was because he did not handle his relationship with Noah well in the beginning that this thoughtful child felt that his family was in danger, and thus he constantly forced himself to work hard in order to be able to protect this family.
A somewhat stubborn and awkward personality, like him and also like Rossweisse.
"Hmm? What is this fragment?" Rossweisse asked, pointing at the black crystal fragment.
"I'm not so sure either."
Leon picked up the fragment and examined it carefully. "I saw this piece in her box in the future, but before I could ask, our eldest daughter burned it all. This shows that she is very proficient in fire magic."
Rossweisse smiled, "So... now do you see anything?"
Leon frowned slightly, “Very familiar, the feel and texture are very familiar…”
After careful consideration, Leon suddenly seemed to realize what this was.
"Oh my god... No way..."
"what?"
Leon slowly turned his head to look at Rossweisse and said in disbelief,
"This is...a fragment of the Black and Gold Chariot."
Chapter 345: 45 Queen: ????
"How did Noa get the fragments of the Black and Gold Chariot?"
Leon was confused for a moment.
In the Silver Dragon Temple, the only one who knows his human identity is Rossweisse.
A key piece of evidence that proves he is a human being is his black and gold chariot.
I remember that General Lai used to ride in a black and gold chariot, and wherever he passed, no dragon would survive.
During the time he served in the Dragon Slaying Army, he was either slaying dragons or on his way to slay dragons.
Besides Rebecca and several of his teammates, the thing that accompanied him the most was this set of powerful enchanted armor.
The dragons who had managed to survive him at that time didn't know his name, but they all tacitly gave him the same name:
A man in black armor.
Although this nickname is a bit long, most dragons will often tremble when they hear this nickname.
During the years when Leon was most efficient in slaying dragons, he became the nightmare of the entire dragon clan, and his black and gold chariot also left an indelible impression on the dragon clan.
This is also the reason why Leon camouflaged the black and gold chariot with paint in advance when fighting with Constantine and Star.
It’s not that he was afraid of being recognized by the enemy. After all, the other party already knew his identity and came to confront him.
Leon cannot be recognized by the Silver Dragons, otherwise he will not be able to stay here to collect intelligence and information;
Of course, the most important thing is that he doesn't want his daughters to find out that their father is actually a human.
He has analyzed the pros and cons many times. No matter what, suppressing his human identity is the safest option now.
But why were there fragments of the black and gold chariot in Noah’s small wooden box?
"Does Noa already know your identity?" Rossweisse asked worriedly.
Leon had told her about his concerns, and she fully understood and promised Leon that she would do her best to help him keep the secret.
Because this is not only to allow him to continue his activities as the 'Silver Dragon Prince' in the Dragon Clan and collect more information about the imperial conspiracy, but also to maintain the family they have worked so hard to build.
Leon stared at the fragments, pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
"I don't think Noa knows I'm human yet. But..."
"but?"
"But she must have noticed that there was something fishy about her dad's background."
He looked solemn, lowering his head to play with the fragments in his hands.
"A long time ago, when you first took me to the warehouse in the back mountain and gave me the Black Gold Chariot, I noticed a gap in the breastplate. If I'm not mistaken, this gap should have been caused when Victor assassinated me with the enchanted dagger."
The enchanted dagger that the traitor Victor used to assassinate Leon was made of the ivory of an arctic mammoth and had a very strong enchantment affinity.
After being enchanted, it is entirely possible to pierce the breastplate of the Black Gold Chariot at a very close distance.
However, polar mammoth ivory is extremely rare, and the enchanting process is even more complicated. If you are not careful, a precious ivory raw material will be destroyed.
So in most cases, this kind of thing is used to make jewelry or collectibles, and is rarely used to make weapons.
Of course, it’s nothing to waste a few tusks in order to assassinate the empire’s former top dragon slayer.
It’s a pity that he was not killed in the end.
On the contrary, a few years later, Leon blew up the dragon scales that protected his heart, which he cherished so much. It was really hilarious.
Rossweisse also recalled it, and then said,
"After the battle a few years ago, we recovered your black gold chariot when we cleaned up the battlefield. This fragment should have been included. But I didn't see it in person. I only came to see it once...afterwards."
The couple looked at each other, then blushed and looked away at the same time.
They all knew what Rossweisse meant by "afterwards".
The confusion of blood.
The beginning of everything.
Whenever I think back on it, it is so abstract yet carries a bit of the legendary element of being ready to die.
"When you came to see it, did you find this fragment?" Leon asked.
Rossweisse shook her head. "No...I didn't pay much attention."
"Wow, sister, can't you even notice such a shiny piece?"
Rossweisse rolled her eyes at him. "At the time, I was only thinking about how to torture you when you woke up. I was already giving you face by helping you save your black gold chariot! Who would care about such a small fragment..."
Actually, this is not Rossweisse's excuse, mainly because the fragment is really not big.
How big can a gap made by a dagger used for assassination be?
Its main focus is depth, not width; as long as it can break the target's heart, that's enough.
"So you brought Noah here later?"
"No, I've never brought her here."
Rossweisse said, "This is the key evidence that reveals your humble human identity. How could I bring my daughter here?"
Leon's face was full of black lines, "Can you please remove the modifier in front of human identity?"
"I am putting myself in your shoes. I hated you to death at that time."
"I was in a coma for two years. During that time, you didn't suffocate me to death by sticking a pillow in my face. Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
"You're welcome, you should."
Leon smiled and waved his hand. After a few jokes, the topic returned to the fragment of the black and gold chariot.
"So... this fragment came into Noa's hands without your knowledge, but she never mentioned it in the past few years."
Leon's mind moved slightly, and he continued,
"Future Noa said that this box contains her most precious memories, so this fragment is naturally one of them. But judging by the time, she got this fragment during the two years I was in a coma."
"To be more precise, that is... minus the ten months of pregnancy and the subsequent three to four months of development... if you calculate it this way, Noa got the fragment about a year before I woke up. Is that correct?"
Rossweisse followed Leon's line of thought and nodded, "Yes, it should be around this time."
This speculation further confirmed Leon's previous thought, that is, Noah had already noticed that there was something wrong with her father's background.
But from then until now, for four years, Noah has never mentioned this matter.
This is why?
With the child's ability to think, it was impossible for her not to be curious about the fragment.
So...either Noa already has enough secrets, and there is no need for her to put more effort into this fragment;
Either...
She is guarding this secret together with Rossweisse and Leon.
Without discussing it with them at all, and being completely unaware of her parents' past, Noah realized that if she got to the bottom of this matter, it might change her family.
Even her future, and the future of her sisters.
So, the child chose to keep the secret in her own way, but not let the truth stay away from her.
Of the two guesses, Leon is more inclined to... the latter.
He looked at the fragments in his hand. The sunlight reflected on them, making them dazzling.
After a while, Leon put the pieces back into the box and pushed the box back under the bed.
"So...what are your plans?" Rossweisse asked softly, "Are you going to test Noa and see how much she knows, or...?"
"Testing her..."
Leon shook his head, "That's not necessary."
"And our eldest daughter is very smart, Rossweisse. As soon as we try to test her, she will immediately become alert."
"By then, no matter how much she knows about me, there will be some problems between us and her... I don't want that."
"So... let's just maintain the status quo."
"Yeah... no problem."
The queen breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "In fact, Noah cares about this family very much, and she also cares about us, Mu En, and Xiao Guang. She can't pretend to care about us that much, so there is no doubt that she loves us."
"Maybe we are worrying too much. No matter how Noa got this fragment, she didn't choose to confront us. Leon, she is very sensible, isn't she?"
Leon nodded in approval, "That's right. Such a sensible child..."
Rossweisse raised an eyebrow, thinking that what he was going to say next was "There are not many children who are so sensible."
However, this bad man always makes her speechless.
"Such a sensible child—like me."
The queen's lips were almost turned up to the sky.
"Like you? Like you fighting a vicious dog at the age of five, breaking a rock at the age of seven? Or like you pretending to be stupid and being a dumb straight man?"
"Nonsense, how could I let my precious daughter's chest break a stone? Only my master, that perverted old man, would do such a thing."
