Chapter 286: Leah's Choice
Tina added fuel and vinegar to the story of Ron, who knew about Ron, and picked a few simple paragraphs to tell Leah.
Of course, the details of the story are not less Tina-style "subtle adaptations".
When he hears that Ron is from Oracle Town, he travels to the royal capital with a young girl named Vivien.
Leah's body shuddered suddenly, and the familiar figure of the white-haired girl came to mind.
Same place, same name, it's hard to describe it as a coincidence, right?
"Will Vivien be you?"
Leah said silently in her mind.
Just as she was about to try to ask for information about Vivien, a familiar voice interrupted the conversation.
"Forget about the guard, why didn't I know that I also had a part-time test?"
In the doorway, the closed door opened automatically.
Ron walked slowly into the room, looked at Tina with an embarrassed face, and said with a smile:
"Besides, isn't your story quite right from the original?"
Tina, who was caught secretly saying bad things behind her back, blushed.
"Humph!"
She raised her head and snorted, and after greeting Leah in a daze, she hurried away from Ron's side.
Feel the wind around you and the faint smell of tulips left in the air.
The corners of Ron's mouth curled slightly
"It's still so tsundere."
After going through so many events, Ron has long been accustomed to the character of the Golden Dragon Lady.
With that, he turned his head to look at Leah, who was sitting on the bed.
And Leah's gaze hasn't left Ron since he came in.
They looked at each other and were silent.
"Looks like Tina has already told you who I am?"
Ron, who had been eavesdropping for a long time, was knowingly asking.
"Hmm."
Looking at the boy in front of her, who she had just met, Lia pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
Ron shook his head and walked over to the edge of the bed and sat down:
"Tina, this guy is really arrogant, and I'm not afraid of what to do if you're an enemy in disguise."
"I'm not an enemy."
Leah retorted with some stubbornness.
"Of course you're not."
"You'll always be yourself, I thought too much about it before."
Ron shook his head and smiled, but his answer left Leah a little confused.
Without explaining much, Ron waved his hand and pulled a steaming bowl of pumpkin porridge out of the air like a trick.
"Taste it."
He sat down on the edge of the bed and handed the orange-red pumpkin porridge to the girl:
"Although it was left yesterday, the time in the carry-on space is almost the same as that of a static state, so it should taste the same as if it was freshly cooked."
Leah took the steaming bowl of porridge and looked at Ron's face, the corners of her mouth moving, but she still didn't ask the question, "Are you really not human?"
After hesitating for a moment, she lowered her head and sucked in small gulps.
Warm pumpkin porridge flowed down her esophagus, and the warm taste filled her heart.
Feeling the warmth and nourishment of her body, Riya's heart calmed down.
She gulped down the sweet pumpkin porridge and asked carefully:
"I heard that you are from Oracle Town"
Before she could finish her words, Ron preemptively replied:
"That's right, Vivien is the Vivian you know, your playmate when you were a kid."
"And I, because of one of her contract calls, accidentally came to this main material plane."
Recalling the scene when Vivien first met, Ron couldn't help but smile again and said:
"I'm glad she summoned me, otherwise, maybe I'd have been traveling in the Abyss by now."
"How do you know I want to ask this?"
looked at Leah, whose eyes were full of surprise and her mouth was wide open into an O-shape.
Ron smiled silently.
The girl in front of her didn't know that from the first moment she saw her, Ron had already manipulated Morey, who was far away in the royal capital, to secretly investigate the identity of the other party.
(Morey: Lao Tzu finally finished flipping through the books in the library, and came back to life after just a while?) )
Now, all the information about Leah from birth to the present day has long been stored in Ron's mind through the psychic channel established by the master-servant contract.
She was born into an ordinary civilian family, and was friends with Vivien next door as a child.
But once, she had a conflict with John, a boy, which caused her parents to be "accidentally" disappeared while out shopping.
This event completely changed Leah's life, and she was forced to come to Vitas, and the rest of the story needs no more to say.
Judging from this information, Leah is completely the same as the girl in Ron's memory.
And
Looking at Leah, who was sitting on the bed in a daze, Ron shook his head.
"Maybe it's just two similar flowers."
He thought to himself.
After a moment of silence, Leah finally came to her senses.
"Vivienne her. How are you doing? ”
Instead of asking Ron how he knew this, she wanted to know about his childhood friends first.
Hearing Leah's inquiry, Ron couldn't help but recall the scene he saw in the backyard of the Castle of Justice before leaving:
I saw Vivien standing on the spacious lawn in the backyard, holding the "Staff of Ron" with a serious face and posing for spell casting, while stepping on the elven battle steps and walking flexibly. Get close to the punch and break through the Iron Man target you practice.
"Well, she's okay."
Ron said with a little hesitation:
"She should be a powerful spellcaster by now, probably."
What he didn't elaborate on was that Vivien's physical strength as a spellcaster was already comparable to that of a young golden dragon!
Hmm~~~ Isn't this a magician?
Hearing this, Leah's brows unconsciously relaxed:
"yes, that's great."
Hearing that her childhood friend was doing well, a heartfelt smile suddenly appeared on Liya's face, and even the sunshine seemed to be much brighter because of the girl's heart.
"Your relationship is really good, even if you haven't seen each other for so many years, you are still thinking about each other."
Ron recalls how Vivien often talked to him about their childhood friends at night, and said with emotion.
He can understand the innocent friendship between the two in childhood, even if there is a distance between them, their hearts are still closely connected.
"Hey, hey, so Vivien remembers me."
Lia smiled and scratched her head embarrassedly.
In the next second, Ron suddenly asked:
"Have you ever considered leaving here and going to live in the royal capital?"
"Huh?"
In the face of this, it is as bold as elopement.
Leah jerked her head up, her bright eyes full of surprise.
She wore a white silk pajama, the flowing silk swaying gently with her movements, reflecting her slender figure.
The slightly larger size of the pajamas caused the loose neckline to fall off inadvertently, revealing the snow-white skin.
Her slightly trembling lips opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she held back.
Recalling her aunt who was seriously ill in bed and couldn't travel far, Liya blushed and lowered her head:
"I'm sorry, I can't get out of here."
Suddenly, the whole room fell silent.
The room was filled with a soft fragrance from a bouquet of flowers placed on the desk.
Outside the window, the breeze blows, gently shaking the curtains, bringing a touch of coolness.
The shelves are neatly arranged with all kinds of books, the pages are stained with the traces of time, and on the wall hangs a painting of the night sky full of stars, as if telling the endless dreams and desires of the painter's heart.
"Good"
Ron nodded, not saying anything more.
He had already found out about Liya's situation, and he was very clear about the physical condition of this Leah's last relative, and the invitation just now was only mentioned in passing.
In fact, there are many ways for him to take Leah and her aunt back to the royal capital without having to go through the pain of travel.
For example: fixed-point teleportation circles, teleportation, arbitrary doors, and so on
But out of some concern, Ron felt that it would be better for Leah not to meet Vivien at this stage.
"Then you can stay here for now, and you won't have to go to the tavern anymore."
Ron stood up suddenly, and looked through the window into the room of the castle opposite, where the blue dragons Warren and Julia were talking about something.
"I've commissioned a bard to protect you, and he'll teach you some magic, you're the same age as Vivien, and it's not too late to start learning magic."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have magical qualifications, there are still some dragon blood collected during Vivien's summoning ceremony."
Perhaps out of compassion, or perhaps out of some deeper consideration, Ron decided to raise Leah.
At worst, it is just the result of a failed investment, and the resources consumed in it are not worth mentioning to him.
Listening to Ron's eloquent arrangement, Leah's face was stunned.
She was a little grateful in her heart, but also a little overwhelmed, after all, she and the person in front of her had only known each other for a day, but the other party seemed to take care of all the major events in her life for the rest of her life.
"That." Leah said a little crampedly.
"My name is Ron." Ron interrupted.
"Oh, Ron, thank you for your kindness, but I have to go home, and my aunt is still waiting for me." Leah said apologetically.
Ron looked at Leah's serious expression, and he understood her concerns and sense of responsibility:
"You don't have to worry about that over there, I'll arrange it for your aunt."
Ron said calmly and gently
But perhaps thinking that her aunt was still home alone, this strong little girl insisted on getting out of bed and going home.
"No, I still have to go home and see, it rained so hard yesterday, I"
Leah moved from the bed as she tried to explain what had happened last night.
But that's not the end of the story.
"Boom!"
Leah, who had just gotten up, was suddenly slammed on the bed by Ron.
Leah's mouth opened wide in surprise, looking at Ron's face in front of her, which suddenly became closer, Leah's face suddenly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her heart beat so fast that it almost left her chest.
"Ron, Ron, what are you doing?"
Leah blushed, her voice trembling slightly.
The sunlight shone through the window on Ron's face, outlining the delicate outline of the teenager, making him look extraordinarily handsome.
There was a hint of firmness and tenderness in his eyes, and there was also a hint of dragon's unique strength.
"You can rest here in peace."
Ron patted Leah's shoulder gently, his palms warm and strong, but Leah felt his breath spew hot air in her ears.
"Don't worry, someone from your aunt's side has already gone to pick her up here."
Ron's tone had an unmistakable flavor that made Leah's heart beat a lot faster.
Looking at the dizziness in the girl's eyes, Ron nodded in satisfaction.
"I'm not going to force you to make a decision, Leah. Just hope you think hard about the days ahead, and you should trust me to be able to help and support you. ”
Luo MLM Master En, so said.
At the same time, the innate charm power that was originally suppressed by him also began to slowly emanate.
Facing Ron, who is close at hand and extremely strong.
As Leah's mind begins to get in turmoil, she realizes that she is faced with an important choice:
"Is it to stay here and get more learning opportunities and protection?"
"Or do you want to go home and take care of your aunt and take responsibility alone?"
The room was filled with the faint scent of flowers, and the sunlight shone on Leah's face, shining on the confusion and confusion in her eyes.
"None of this matters, the most important thing is "
Liya breathed slightly, "He's too close." ”
She gently grasped the somewhat messy sheets with trembling fingers, and looked at Ron's face with a confused look, and a trace of silver could be faintly seen in her slightly open mouth.
Looking at the girl's emotional performance, Ron raised an eyebrow.
Is your charm a little too strong?
How does it feel like this little girl has skipped a certain transition stage and has become like she wants to swallow herself raw.
Just as he was about to continue saying something.
"Bang dang!"
Suddenly, there were several sounds of objects falling outside the house.
"Huh?"
Ron turned his head sideways, his gaze instantly piercing through the wall, and saw the figure in the platinum robe moving away quickly.
Look at the food spilled on the ground.
"Really, one or two, don't give me peace of mind."
Ron sighed and pressed his brow.
He easily opened the bed-knocking posture and said to Leah:
"I'll go out for a while, and you won't move around here."
"I don't want you to go home and not see your aunt, do you?"
Leah nodded in confusion, not knowing if she heard clearly.
In order to ensure safety, Ron specially set up two layers of magic marks for her before leaving, and then pushed the door and left the room.
After heading out, Ron looked up and sniffed lightly.
Following the lingering smell in the air, he quickly locked on to the spot where Tina had left.
That's the way out of Vitas!
Ron's eyes changed, and he secretly said something bad in his heart:
"It's not good, Tina, this guy won't be ready to leave Vitas alone because of the excitement of the scene just now, right?"
Too late to think about it
A pair of iridescent dragon wings quickly stretched out behind Ron's back and chased after Tina in the direction she had left.
"Whew-"
The wind howled around him.
Ron's body turned into an indiscernible afterimage, and quickly flew through the streets of Vitas City, heading out of the city.
And those connected dragon wings are like an incomparably real rainbow bridge, across the sky of Vitas.
"Look, is that a rainbow?"
Inside the city, a little boy shouted curiously as he pointed to the sky with wide eyes. (End of chapter)
