Lyon is on its way to the accommodation in Ophelia.

Looking at these ordinary residents, they are still as usual and leisurely. There was no tension or worry at all in wartime, and they went about their lives in comfort, and no one even discussed the war, and no one worried about whether the soldiers in front would return safely.

Leon looked at these scenes, and couldn't help but feel a trace of grief and indignation in his heart: is such an indifferent person really worthy of his father and his soldiers sacrificing their lives to protect?

Such a question was asked not only by Lyon, but even by soldiers who were fighting on the front lines. But even so, as soldiers of the kingdom, they always take the mission of the soldiers as the driving force, and fight at the forefront regardless of life and death, just for the faith of the soldiers!

Leon strengthened his heart: whether as a citizen of the Warwick Kingdom or as the son of the Frank family, he has the responsibility and obligation to bring back his father and the soldiers on the front line!

"Mom, there's something I want to discuss with you. When Leon saw his mother, he didn't say hello, but went straight to the subject.

Ophelia saw Leon's heavy heart and felt that something was wrong.

"What's wrong, is something wrong?" Ophelia was worried.

The husband is fighting on the front lines and is ready to die. If something happens to her son, her sky will fall.

"I want to go to Pakabe City. Leon didn't dare to look his mother in the face.

"What are you talking about?!" Ophelia's head thuded, and she fell into a state of complete stagnation, standing in place.

"Mother, I want to go to Pakabe City, please allow me!" Leon lowered his head and repeated his own words, and the atmosphere became tense.

Ophelia finally relented.

"Impossible!" Ophelia had only one thing on his mind, to stop Leon, not to go anywhere, to stay by his side. In this way, even if the whole world is against her, she can rely on her great strength to protect Leon!

"Mother!" Leon tried to convince his mother.

"You can't go anywhere, just stay here!, you can't leave without my permission!" was the first time Ophelia had been so angry with Leon.

In fact, Leon had already guessed such a result. However, he came to his mother today with a determination to die, no, a negotiation!

"So, did my mother let me watch my father die like this, and could my mother bear my father to die in battle like this?" Leon mustered up his courage and fought against Ophelia.

"That's enough!" Ophelia couldn't hold on any longer, and tears flowed down like a levee. "Your father is fighting on the front lines, and I'm more worried than anyone else. I had nightmares every night, and each time I woke up from a dream of him in the wilderness. But what can I do? He can do anything for the sake of his military soul and honor. And I, as a high-level magician, a woman, and a wife, can't do anything!

Leon froze, it was the first time he had heard his mother say something like this. only considered his own feelings, and completely ignored his mother's seemingly powerful but really fragile and helpless heart. The most painful thing is not herself, but the woman in front of her who is already crying. She possessed great strength, strong enough to turn the tide of battle, but because of the constraints of the treaty, she could not even use this power to protect her lover. What a frustration and grief this is.

The Treaty of Friendship between Humans and Elves was signed to ensure friendly coexistence between humans and elves. Humans do not interfere in the affairs of the elves, and the two races respect each other and maintain a neutral attitude. In the same way, elves cannot interfere in the affairs of human beings, and in the face of any disputes between human beings, they must also remain neutral, not partial, and cannot participate.

"Mom. Leon gently hugged his mother, and the two of them began to cry bitterly.

"Leon, promise Mom that I'm not going anywhere, just stay by Mom's side, okay? Mom will protect you with all her might, and I must not lose you!" Ophelia stroked Leon's hair gently.

At this time, Ophelia is no longer the sublime elf. It's a helpless wife, an ordinary mother.

"No! Mom. Leon replied very firmly. He swore that from now on, he would be responsible for protecting his mother and the people he loved. Don't let them get any harm!

"Why! Why are you, who have never rebelled against me since you were a child, refuse to compromise at all in this matter?!" Ophelia finally calmed down a little, and made waves again, tears welled up in her eyes.

"No, Mom. You've cared for me and loved me for almost nineteen years. I'm nineteen years old, and I'm already an adult. So, this time it's my turn to protect you!" Leon wiped his mother's tears.

Ophelia looked at Leon and for a moment felt that Leon had really grown up. However, it soon returned to reality.

"You don't even have magic powers, how can you protect them? Don't be willful, be good, listen to your mother. That's it, stay by Mom's side. Ophelia coaxed Leon like a child.

"No, Mom, I have a way. I'm not going to Pakabe City to die in vain, but to bring my dad back intact!"

Leon originally wanted to tell his mother about his special constitution, but when he thought of using the control of the "Bright Arrow Rain" in the cave, his mother would definitely not allow a half-magician like him to go to Pakabe City.

"How can you be sure you'll be back safely?" Ophelia was skeptical, but looking at Leon's serious expression, it didn't seem to be lying.

"It's a secret. But trust me, Mom!" Leon looked at his mother firmly.

Leon's trip to Pakabe City this time was not to defeat the Carson Empire, which was impossible to win according to the current situation. However, in addition to victory or defeat, there is a third possibility of war, and that is peace! The border between the Warwick Kingdom and the Carson Empire is the Aranzis Mountains, and each time the Carson Empire attacks in summer and autumn, the purpose is to avoid the heavy snow in winter. Heavy winter snow covers the entire Aranzis, and anyone who wants to cross the Aranzis at this point is at great risk, let alone the army and supplies. So, Leon's plan is to help his father defend the city of Pacabe. Winter is just around the corner, and before that the Carson Empire can't capture the city of Pakabe, and the passage to the Carson Empire is blocked by heavy snow, and it will be left without any supplies and reinforcements. The Kingdom of Warwick, on the other hand, will send a steady stream of reinforcements to Pakabe City. At that time, the two cities occupied by the Carson Empire will not last until next spring!

"Ahh If he desperately stops Leon, Bill will leave like this, and Leon will blame himself for the rest of his life. "But you have to promise your mother that if you encounter a dangerous situation, you will come back immediately. Whether your father wants to leave or not, even if it's just you, you must come back!"

Ophelia couldn't bear to say this. This is the worst-case scenario, but the most likely scenario. He knows Bill, and he's never going to leave!

"Yes, Mom. I promise you!"

Lea and Wittrell wake up and don't see Leon.

Just as they wondered where Leon would go so early, Leon returned.

"Lea, Wittel, I have something to tell you. ”

Leon sat down at the table and motioned for Lea and Wittelle to sit across from him.

After the two of them sat down, Wittelle asked puzzledly, "Lord Leon, what is the matter?"

Looking at Leon's solemn expression, Liya asked calmly, "Are you going to Pakabe City?"

Leon looked at Lea in surprise: "How do you know?"

"Really?" it was Vetliel's turn to be surprised, for she had only learned not long ago that there had been war.

"Seeing that you have disappeared so early, I probably went to look for Lord Ophelia. Combined with your personality, you will have a rough idea of what you are going to do just by thinking about it. ”

"Really?" Leon scratched his head embarrassedly, he had been seen through by Lia so easily.

"So, have you decided?" Liya seemed calm on the surface, but it was the result of her efforts to restrain herself. If it were normal, she would have begun to dissuade Leon a long time ago.

"Hmm. Leon nodded.

"Really?" Liya was shocked in her heart, and her worst fears had happened.

"Why travel to Pakabe City. Although she knew about Leon's decision, Vitrelle still didn't understand why Leon did it.

"Probably because of Lord Bill. Leah explained to Vitrill.

"Lord Bill, is it Lord Leon?"

"Yes, it's Lord Leon's father. ”

"Now you all know what I'm going to do. So, just listen to my request. Leon sat in his seat with a very serious expression.

"Say, as long as I can do it, I can satisfy you. Seeing that Leon had made up her mind, Liya was not ready to stop her. If even Ophilia couldn't stop him, he wouldn't have succeeded.

"Well, I'll ask Leah to continue to take care of Vetlill while I'm away. Leon decided that it would be enough for him to go to the city of Pakabe alone. Although he is not going to die, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee that no accidents will happen.

"Okay, I promise you. But you also have to promise me that you will come back alive!"

"Hmm!" Seeing that Lia had agreed, Leon turned to Vitrelle: "Vitrelle......"

Wittelle lowered her head and whispered, "Excessive!"

Then he shouted at Leon: "Lord Leon is too much!"

"Vitrelle?" Leon was a little surprised. This girl would never lose her temper with herself.

"Lord Leon is too much!" Vetlill closed her eyes and continued to shout at Leon.

"It's because ......," Leon was about to explain, but saw that Vittell had already burst into tears.

"Every time Lord Leon encounters this kind of thing, he completely ignores the feelings of others! Do you know how worried Vetelle is these days? Vetellil is afraid every day, afraid that she will never see Lord Leon again! Finally, Lord Leon has returned, but she has left Wittellle again! Lord Lyon is really too much! I hate such Lord Lyon the most!" Wittelle cried, finally venting the fear that had been suppressed in her heart these days.

In the face of Vetellier's stormy bombardment, Leon had absolutely no ability to refute.

Lea took Vitrill into her arms and made her cry as much as she could.

"I'm sorry! It's my fault, ignoring Wittel's feelings. However, this trip to Pakabe City is very dangerous. "It's true that Lyon thinks too little about this.

"I'm not afraid!" Wittelcha dried her tears.

"I'm going to die!"

"Then let's die together!" Wittelle was very determined, after the last death experience, she never wanted to leave Leon's side again.

Leon was stunned, and after a long time, he said slowly, "Don't you really regret it?"

"From the day I agreed to go with Lord Leon, I have never regretted it. Vitrelle is a slave of Lord Leon. So, wherever you go, please take Vetelle with you, and if Lyon-sama dislikes Vetelle as a burden, then please discard it now!"

"Is that so?" Leon sat still, holding back a long time, "Thank you!

Leon returned to his dorm door, reaching out to knock, but shrank back. After hesitating for a while, I finally mustered up the courage.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock at the door.

Xue Yuanya, who was meditating on the bed, opened her eyes and asked, "Who?"

"I, Leon. ”

As soon as she heard Leon's voice, Xuedia was a little flustered. You didn't take revenge on him like that last night, right?

"What's the matter?"

"It's breakfast time, so I'll bring it to you. ”

Xuedia opened the door for Leon and sat down directly on the stool next to the table. Looks like he's not going to put breakfast in a hurry.

Leon put down his breakfast and sat down across from him as well.

Xue Tia didn't care about Leon, and directly opened the breakfast brought by Leon and tasted it.

"I'm sorry last night!" Leon was the first to break the silence and apologize to Xuedia.

Actually, Xuedia wasn't really angry with Leon last night. It's just that the weak part of Leon's heart that was almost touched by Leon suddenly panicked, and he was in a hurry to drive Leon out.

"You didn't come here just to apologize, did you?" Xue Diya didn't look at him, and continued to eat breakfast.

Leon didn't speak, he took out a bag of gold coins from his bosom and placed it on the table.

Xuedia stopped.

"What does this mean?" Xue Yuanya looked at the bulging bag of gold coins and couldn't help but think: Is this guy trying to buy me with money and make me forgive him?

"This is your reward for protecting me these days. ”

"I see. Xuedia went back to breakfast.

"From today onwards, you are a free magician. So, find a place to live well. If you really don't have a place to go, you can go to my family's territory. As long as I talk to my mom, it's fine. Leon said lightly.

Xuedia was a little surprised. This guy says I'm free from today, and I don't need to protect him anymore? So what he said last night was all a lie?

"Are you still angry at last night?" asked Xue Yuanya, calming down for a moment, tentatively.

"No, I wasn't right last night. I'm really sorry!"

"Then why did you want me to leave today?" Xue Tiya was a little emotional, could it be that this guy was lying last night when he said that he would be someone I could trust?

"I was the one who left. The Carson Empire has declared war on the Kingdom of Warwick, and my father is holding the last line of defense, and I have to help him. So, that's the end of your agreement with me. ”

Hearing Leon's answer, Xuedia regained her former composure.

It turned out that he didn't mind what happened last night. Not only that, but he also thinks about himself at every turn.

"I see. How much does an average magician get paid in a day?" Xuedia picked up the gold coin that Leon had placed on the table.

"Why do you ask this?"

"All you have to do is answer me. Knowing what had happened, Xue Tiya finally regained her cold voice.

"The average is one gold coin. This is a hundred gold coins, and the excess is because I did not keep the agreement and paid you liquidated damages. ”

The weak part of Xuedia's heart was touched by Leon again, and her heart beat violently, not daring to look directly at Leon anymore.

"Yes, then I'll take the reward. However, I never owe anything to others. So, there are ninety-six days left from today to protect you. But be aware that I am responsible for you alone, and don't expect me to take risks for anyone else, even if that person is your father. ”

Leon thought he had misheard.

"You're going to protect me for ninety-six days?"

"Hmm!"

"It's very dangerous to get involved in a war. Leon reminded Xuedia.

"Hmm!"

"It's going to die!" Leon once again stressed the danger of the destination.

"Hmm!"

Without exception, they all received a cold but firm answer from Xue Yuanya.

"Why?" Leon couldn't believe that Xuedia, who had always been cold, would take the initiative to protect herself. I was still angry with myself last night, why did I suddenly take the initiative today?

"Not why. Xuedia looked at Leon and thought to herself: What a complete fool!

The next morning, Leon said goodbye to his mother by the carriage.

"Leon, you must remember to promise your mother that you will come back as soon as you are in danger, you know?" Ophelia instructed Leon with red eyes. Looking at her appearance, she must have not closed her eyes all night.

"Don't worry, Mom. Not only will I come back safely, but so will my dad!"

"Hmm!"

At this time, Liya also came to the departure point to see off.

Ophelia recognized Ria at a glance.

"Princess Leia, why are you here?" Ophelia was a little surprised.

"Hello, Lord Ophelia. I'm here to see Lyon off. ”

Ophelia was wondering why the princess knew that Leon was going to Pacabe City, when suddenly she had a flash of inspiration: "Could it be that they are in that relationship?"

"Oh, that's right! Let's talk first. Ophelia walked away from Lyon, and went to the carriage to tell Vetel.

"Has Miss Xuedia decided to go with her?" Although Lia was the calmest of all the people who heard that Leon was going to Pakabe City, she was no less worried than anyone else. How she envied Wittelle now, who was still able to be by Leon's side in times of danger.

"Hmm. ”

"That's good, but I don't have a chance to apologize to her again. Liya felt a little relieved when she heard Leon's affirmative answer. From the day he fought with Xuedia, he knew that Xuedia's strength was much more than that. With her, Leon would have a much better chance of surviving.

"Don't worry, there will be a chance. ”

"Hmm. Have a nice trip!"

"Well, you have to take care of yourself too. Then I'm gone. ”

Leon said goodbye to his mother, stood in the carriage and waved to them, telling them to hurry back.

Looking at the back of the carriage in the distance, Ophelia's tears flowed uncontrollably.

Lea couldn't do anything now but hold Ophelia and wait patiently for Leon's return.
