Immortal Fortress, Black Thorn Rose Street, at the entrance to Lady Rose's mansion.

Lester hugged Rose, as if trying to rub the woman in front of her into her body.

Inside the parked carriage, the square-faced sorceress was meditating, and outside the carriage, the two little girls, Misha and Sheena, stared intently at the two people who were glued together, with two pairs of small ears erected, refusing to miss a single detail.

"I'm leaving again."

"You always have to go."

"It's like you're going to leave......"

The two were silent for a moment, and Lester stepped back a little, staring at the woman's pretty face.

"Can't you really come with me to the Emerald Collar? In the Emerald Collar, I built you an identical home, which is the home of the two of us, and I can't get used to living alone. ”

Her heart trembled, Rose felt sweet at first, and then felt a little complicated, but her face was relaxed with a teasing smile.

"Then I'll have to look forward to it...... The main reason is that I've been too busy lately, and I still have courses to teach at Black Rose Academy, so I'll be over when I'm done with this while, maybe I can stay for a while. ”

With some disappointment on his face, as if he had quickly adjusted his mentality, Lester smiled, let go of the woman in front of him, and kissed the woman's cherry lips gently.

"When I'm not busy, I'll take you to the Urus Mountains to see the snow and build you a big snowman."

As the man's carriage drifted away, Rose's gaze was a little distracted, and after a long time, the woman smiled self-deprecatingly, turned around and went back to the house.

……

In the carriage, Misha and Shena, who had experienced the Immortal Fortress Celebration and visited the walls of the Immortal Fortress Fortress, were a little excited, plus they secretly learned a lot from the female mage, and the two girls always felt that they had grown up a lot with each other between looking at each other.

"How's this trip going? Unhappy? ”

In order to prevent the two little girls from jolting, this time Lester specially put a thick layer of animal fleece blanket on the side of the carriage, and Meredith and Lester themselves were also much more comfortable.

"Happy~"

"Not happy."

The disagreement between the younger sister and the older sister reappeared, touching Sheena's well-behaved little head, and Lester looked at the disgruntled blonde girl with a smile on her face.

"Misha, what's not going to be happy? Didn't you get something delicious? Or is there something fun to play? ”

With her hands clasped in front of her chest, Misha pursed her mouth and looked unhappy.

"You said you would accompany me and my sister, but you are always tired of being with Sister Rose, and you also dance with Sister Rose."

'Uh......'

Lester froze.

It's okay for this Rose to eat a little girl's vinegar, why would a six or seven-year-old girl eat an adult's vinegar?

Was the little girl born to Mihira, who was chosen by the Spirit of the Righteous Star, so precocious? Obviously not so long ago he was just a greedy little guy.

"Misha, it's my fault, I apologize to you."

I sincerely apologized to the little girl, but I saw that the little girl had her arms wide open, and her face was tugging, with an expression of 'you know what to do'.

Smiling helplessly, Lester still held Misha on his lap, allowing the little girl to find a good mount comfortably.

"Brother Lester, I want it too~"

Sheena gently tugged at Lalester's sleeve, her big eyes flickering, and she had a pitiful expression, like an abandoned puppy.

Under Meredith's amusing gaze, Lester once again hugged the little black-haired girl to his lap, one left and one right, just not fighting.

A bowl of water must be flat.

"When you go back this time, you remember to tell your dad about what happened in the past few days, your dad loves you very much and has done a lot for you, you have to respond to dad's love and care more about him, understand?"

"Got it~"

"Hmm."

Relieving a moment, Lester turned to look at the female mage sitting across from him.

"I couldn't find you at this celebration, and I said I wanted to take you for a walk, you don't have anything important, right? Need help? ”

Unexpectedly, Lester would suddenly pay attention to himself, Meredith was a little surprised, and then shook his head slightly.

"It's nothing, such a mundane celebration doesn't mean much to us mages who pursue power, this time I went back to meet my senior at the Black Rose Academy, and I asked her about some questions about flame-based black magic."

Hearing Meredith's talk about the Black Rose Academy, Lester was also a little more interested.

"If it's convenient, can you tell us about the Black Rose Academy?"

I thought that the female mage would promise herself, but I didn't expect the female mage to shake her head and look apologetic.

"I'm sorry, Lord Lester, the Black Rose Academy's news is kept secret, and only with the consent of Ms. Rose, the Black Rose Wizards, or the Blood Wizards can we have the right to send information to the outside world."

"That's ......"

He didn't mean to embarrass Meredith, but Lester admired the female mage's tight-lipped and honest character.

As if sensing the admiration in the man's eyes, the female mage tilted her head slightly.

The carriage ran slowly along the rough road, followed by five pack horses carrying goods and logistical supplies, and the convoy, guarded by more than two dozen soldiers, soon reached the vicinity of the Valoran plain after seven days and nights.

As the sun began to set, the four men sitting in the carriage heard the exclamations of the soldiers.

"The dragon bird is coming!! It's the Silver Wing! It's attacking convoys! ”

"Crossbowmen aim at the target! Shoot the arrow!! ”

The terrible whistling died away, and the whining of the horses soon died down, followed by the clanging of soldiers drawing their weapons.

"Can you handle the dragon bird?"

"My magic is range-oriented, and it's hard to target agile dragonbirds, but interference can still be done."

Meredith was about to leave to get out of the carriage, but Lester held him down on the shoulder, and the man said in a deep voice.

"If you can't deal with it, you just need to protect Misha and Sheena, don't worry about the rest, if there is an accident on my side, you have to send the two of them back to the territory safely, understand? Be sure to send them back to the Emerald Collars and protect them. ”

Taking a deep look at Leicester, Meredith nodded.

The man turned his head and settled down on the two little girls again.

"Misha, Sheena, you two stay in the carriage, don't show your head, and listen to Sister Meredith......"

Before the two little ones could come down, Lester heard the screams of the coachman.

"My lord! Be careful!!! ”

Two large silver claws easily lifted the roof of the carriage, and after throwing away the roof that had turned into rotten wood, they grabbed at Lester inside the carriage.

Feeling the strong wind coming from overhead, Lester shivered all over his body, and with instinct, Lester directly hugged the frightened Misha and Sheena and rushed out of the carriage, Meredith was not harmed because he was not the target of the dragon bird.

The female mage thought for a quick second and began to channel the spell.

Outside the carriage, two horses had died, their soft bellies were directly torn, and their internal organs and blood flowed all over the ground, and the rest of the horses were constantly struggling and jumping under the pull of the soldiers, and the frightened horses completely lost their minds, and the carriage could not continue to move forward.

"Uh-huh!! Yes!! ”

After failing to strike, the huge silver-winged dragon bird raised its body and dived towards Leicester again, rushing straight towards Leicester, its big round eyes full of excitement.
