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

"And they almost always bring in dangerous species at night, deliberately avoiding crowds."

"That's fishy, ​​isn't it?"

Leon nodded in approval. "It's indeed very suspicious. According to the Empire's style, every time they win a battle or successfully defeat a dangerous species, they will publicize it to increase public support. But they have dealt with so many dangerous species in a low-key manner... Could it be that they haven't let Constantine go yet..."

The master frowned slightly, "You mean, after losing the heart-protecting dragon scale, the Empire still intends to continue researching fusion monsters like Constantine?"

"Right. That's their way, isn't it?"

What the kid said makes sense.

Others will not turn back until they hit the wall;

The empire has hit the wall again to see if it is made of concrete or bricks.

But Tiger had a vague feeling that if the Empire continued to research this kind of fusion monster...it might end up tying up its own knot.

After all, those guys always like to pursue some...power that they can't control.

Chapter 347: 47 Fight to the Death

"In short, losing all the heart-protecting dragon scales is undoubtedly a major blow to the empire, but it also completely angered them."

Tiger said in a deep voice, "Since the explosion in the laboratory, the wanted order for Rebecca and me has intensified. Even Martin was invited in for tea a few times."

Hearing this, Leon frowned slightly, “Did they attack Martin?”

Martin was the youngest among Leon's comrades, and joined the Imperial Dragon Slayer Army because he admired Leon.

After learning that Empire and Victor wanted to frame Leon, Martin chose to stand on Leon's side without hesitation.

Unlike Rebecca who was alone, Martin, who came from a royal minister's family, could have stayed away from the storm and lived quietly as a nobleman.

It’s hard to say whether you can become successful, but it is definitely not a problem to spend the rest of your life without any disasters.

But Martin still chose to be Leon and others' insider in the royal family and tried his best to gather intelligence.

If anything happened to this kid, Leon would never forgive himself.

"With his father as a cover, the royal family didn't dare to do anything to Martin. They just asked him a few questions."

The master's words made Leon feel a little relieved.

"You know, since the Empire put us on the wanted list, the first thing they must do is to investigate our previous acquaintances. Martin, as your teammate during your time in the Dragon Slayer Army, is naturally one of the targets of the investigation. It's just that the Empire has not taken direct action because of his father's relationship."

Tiger continued, "But after blowing up the heart-protecting dragon scales and cutting off one of the Empire's arms, they were so angry that they couldn't care less. But Martin was very smart and didn't leave any clues. He hid well and the Empire didn't find anything out of him."

"It's just that... it might be a bit troublesome if you want to spy on intelligence again in the future."

Leon nodded. "It's okay, Master. Compared with intelligence, staying alive is more important. Tell Martin not to force himself, just do his best."

"Well, I will."

Tiger slowly breathed a sigh of relief, tapped the scabbard of the sword with his index finger, and slowly said, "The Empire will not give up the project of fusing monsters easily. This can be confirmed by the fact that they are capturing dangerous species in large numbers. After this, I will continue to pay attention and make sure to stop them before they create the next monster."

Leon's eyes moved slightly, and he did not immediately agree to Tiger's suggestion. "Master, not only Martin needs to be extra careful, but you and Rebecca too. As I said before, staying alive is more important than intelligence. If something happens to you, how can I explain it to Master's wife? She will scold me to death."

Tiger was stunned, raised his slightly white eyebrows, and then smiled, "Your master's wife is a million miles away from you. Don't worry, she can't scold you."

"So...when can I meet Master's Wife?"

"Don't be impatient. Come on, boy—"

As he spoke, Tiger took out a simple camera, pointed it at Leon, and pressed the button to open the door, "Smile."

click-

Leon was startled, "What is this...?"

Tiger looked down at the preview photo on the camera and nodded with satisfaction, "Your master's wife asked me not to only show her the photo of her granddaughter this time, but also bring yours. Tsk, boy, you seem to have lost weight."

How can you not lose weight if you spend all day in the Silver Dragon Temple leading a shameless married life with the female dragon?

Cough cough--

But this is only one of the reasons.

Ever since he witnessed the terrifying power of Constantine, the super-stitched zombie dragon, he has been frightened.

The Empire has been able to create such horrific monsters, who knows if they will create even more indescribable creatures next?

Leon rarely fears something so much, so he is not very good at dealing with such troubled thoughts, so it is normal for him to lose his appetite.

"Seriously, Master, you and Rebecca must—"

"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, safety first."

The master put the camera away properly, "Well... there is another thing. About those three people you mentioned earlier."

Leon recalled for a moment and knew which three people his master was talking about:

Kini, Kitai, Kime.

The sharp knife trio.

Twenty years in the future, these three guys are invincible on the dragon-slaying battlefield and can be called "Leon Cosmode 2.0".

But the power they use does not come from themselves, or from human magic.

But no matter what, if the empire is allowed to train these three guys, it will only add three troublesome enemies in the future.

That's why Leon asked his master to keep an eye on these three people when he handed over the intelligence last time.

"Any news about them?"

"Yes. The Empire is secretly carrying out a project called 'Sharp Knife', which aims to cultivate a new generation of dragon slayers."

At this point, Tiger paused for a moment.

He pursed his lips, as if recalling some not-so-nice memories.

Leon asked in a low, concerned voice, "Master?"

"Ah...it's okay."

Tiger took a deep breath and continued, "The Empire trained them, just like they trained me and you. But... this time, the Empire has learned its lesson."

Tiger lowered his eyes to look at the sword on the table.

"The sharper the knife, the stronger the sheath it needs, so as not to hurt the owner of the knife."

"The resources that the Empire has poured into the Sharp Knife Trio far exceed those you have poured into them a few years ago, and they have also taken sufficient insurance measures to ensure that these three sharp knives will not turn around and stab them."

"In other words... In addition to super-stitched monsters like Constantine, the enemies we will face in the future may also be the most loyal and painful hounds in the history of the empire."

Listening to his master's words, Leon fell into deep thought.

The master just mentioned the future, and Leon is the only one who has been there.

Twenty years after "A World Without Leon", the Human Empire has grasped the lifeline of almost all wars, and their methods are endless.

Outside, they rely on the powerful strength of the sharp knife trio to sweep across major battlefields;

Internally, we constantly rely on successive victories to strengthen the people's faith.

So, rather than saying it is a "future without Leon", it is better to say it is a "future controlled by the empire".

And obviously, that future...is terrible.

People live in a scam called "comfort", paying taxes to the dirty and corrupt people in power, and even enjoying it and feeling contented.

They wage war, never for humanity, but simply for...themselves.

Leon once promised Noa in the future that he would rewrite the future and find a way out in the turbulence of time.

He must never break his promise.

"Be it the super zombies or the sharp knife trio. No matter what monsters the empire creates, we only have one choice, Master."

The master and the disciple looked at each other and said in unison,

"Fight to the death."

Chapter 348: 48 It's her again!

The atmosphere in the cave suddenly became serious and heavy - even mixed with a hint of chuunibyou -

Even after living with Leon for such a long time, Rossweisse still didn't quite understand the emotional changes of humans.

She crossed her arms, leaned slightly, leaned close to Rebecca's ear, and whispered,

"What are they doing? Why do they look so heroic?"

Rebecca chuckled and patiently explained to her beautiful sister-in-law,

"Sister-in-law, where do you think the captain's B-king temperament and heroic complex come from? Isn't it all because of his master's good teaching?"

"You mean, a large part of Leon's current personality is influenced by Tiger?"

"Of course, a son resembles his father. Even though he is not my biological son, he is my master who brought me up since I was a child. So their personalities are more or less similar."

Rossweisse narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at her fake husband.

At the same time, I kept thinking about the three words Rebecca said: "Zi 裠亿零壹(七)似巫久似IX８荌跟父".

She couldn't help but wonder, what would she do if Noa grew up to be this mediocre and silly?

When I was young, I was a cool and aloof girl, which is understandable;

But if she grows up to be a middle school will-o'-the-wisp girl, Rossweisse will go crazy!

but......

She shook her head to drive away the messy and scattered thoughts, then breathed a sigh of relief silently and looked up at Leon's profile.

He is resolute, handsome, and his scars only make his mighty demeanor stand out.

After a while, the queen's mouth corners slightly raised.

"It's just chuunibana, it's just heroism, it's all... cute anyway."

Rebecca didn't hear the first half of the sentence clearly, she only heard the word "cute" at the end.

She raised her head and looked at Rossweisse with a smile, "Sister-in-law, are you talking about me?"

Rossweisse lowered her eyes, stretched out her hand to pinch her cheek, and said with a smile, "Cute is a derogatory word in the dragon clan~"

"Cut~"

At the wooden table, the master and the disciple continued to discuss.

The information the master brought was just as Leon expected, a lot.

Fortunately, he brought paper and pen in advance and wrote down these key information.

Although most of the news is not good, it is better than reacting only after others have suddenly attacked your doorstep.

"That's about it, Leon," Tiger said.

"okay."

Tiger observed his apprentice's reaction and said, "You seem... worried?"

Leon smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Even if the Empire is here, I can't laugh, Master."

"really."

Tiger also sighed, "Our situation is becoming more and more urgent, so we must find the truth as soon as possible and make the conspiracy between the Empire and the Dragon Clan public."

Leon's thoughts moved slightly, "Well...it's time to take the initiative."

"Take the initiative? What are you going to do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, because before I came here I didn't know there would be so much bad news this time."

Leon said, "But after that, I will immediately start to formulate countermeasures."

"No problem. Rebecca, Martin and I will try to gather more information for you."

Leon smiled and held out his fist, “Thanks, Master.”

Tiger also raised his hand and lightly bumped fists with Leon, "You are my only disciple, of course I will do my best to help you."

"Speaking of help, Master, last time I asked you to help me find some books about primordial magic... any progress?"

Tiger smiled proudly, "I was just about to say that. I actually found a book about original magic."

As he spoke, Tiger took out an old book from his backpack and handed it to Leon.
