The music started and stopped

It wasn't until the clock struck twelve again that the joyful crowd fell asleep.

And in the originally lively castle hall, only a few maids were left cleaning up the leftovers after the carnival.

"Knock, knock, knock"

There was a knock on the door of the study.

"Enter."

Elise closed a book on the magic of nature, rubbed her eyebrows, and spoke.

Unexpectedly, the person who came was not a maid or a butler, but a blonde girl who had taken off her costume and was wearing an ordinary white robe.

"Good morning, Sister Elise."

Tina pushed open the corner of the door, revealing her cute little head, and waved her hand.

She has a great affection for this generous and gracious city lord's sister, which is why she took the initiative to stop Ron today and come to say goodbye by herself.

"It's you, come in."

Seeing that it was Tina, Elise smiled softly and beckoned.

The delicate black teapot not far behind her rose without wind, and the tea and water stored on the side flew into the pot like a swimming elf.

"Taste, it's my best tea, not even Ron's has ever tasted it."

Elise handed a cup of hot tea to Tina, who had just sat down, and then asked:

"Why do you suddenly have time to come to me? Is it that the castle rooms are uncomfortable to sleep in? ”

"No, no!"

Tina took the teacup with both hands, shook her head like a windmill, and hurriedly explained:

"Tina slept comfortably last night, the bed was really soft."

This is true, even the bedding in the Castle of Justice is far inferior to the home of this legionnaire.

There are some things that you can't buy even with money.

"If you like it, I'll give you a few more sets of the same when I leave."

Elise smiled and poured herself a glass.

"Actually"

Hearing this, Tina put down the teacup and said a little embarrassed:

"Actually, Tina came today to say goodbye to Sister Elise."

Elise was stunned.

She heard the other party's words clearly, but still subconsciously blurted out:

"What?"

"That's it, we came out this time because."

Tina patiently revealed the content of the trial of the Royal Capital Academy of Magic.

After experiencing the attack of the young Peng Bird and the siege of the beast tide, the trials of Raya and the others' students had obviously been overcompleted, and Tina naturally wanted to take her students back to the royal capital to continue their studies and cultivation.

At the same time, she has to investigate the reasons behind this unexpected beast tide and prevent similar dangers from befalling other cities.

There are good reasons to go home.

But she couldn't say why, and Elise still felt a sense of loss in her heart.

"Won't you stay for a few more days? I'd like to take you around the neighborhood and taste the food of the green forest. ”

Faced with Elise's retention, Tina hesitated, but still shook her head and politely rejected the other party's kindness.

"I'm worried that a similar incident will happen in the royal capital."

Ron said that this beast tide was not an isolated one, and he suspected that some kind of mutation had occurred throughout Cullen.

Tina was kind enough to explain Ron's speculation, and Elise, who had seen Karun's secret report, knew that what he was saying was true.

The people at the bottom of the carnival didn't know that the green forest was actually only a tributary of some of the beast tides, and no one could be sure where the real beast tide would go.

But according to Karui's speculation

"What about that guy?"

Suddenly, Elise asked.

"Who?"

Tina apparently didn't understand who the other person's "that guy" was referring to.

Looking at Tina, who looked puzzled, and hesitated for a moment, Elise shook her head again and said with a smile:

"It's okay, I'm sorry I've been a little busy lately, and my mind isn't very clear."

"Oh, Sister Elise, you must get some rest."

The ignorant Tina nodded and kindly persuaded.

"Hmm."

Elise nodded, took a sip of the bitter tea, and asked again:

"When are you going to leave?"

Before Tina could open her mouth to answer.

"Right now."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the direction of the windowsill.

The two looked back, and a familiar dragon shadow came into view.

"Ron!? When did you arrive? ”

Tina shouted in surprise.

The colorful young dragon, who had been nesting by the window for an unknown amount of time, yawned lazily:

"Whew~~~~ just now."

Ron, who stretched his waist, got up slowly, shook the morning dew condensed on his wings, looked at the silent Elise and said casually:

"Tina, go tell those three little ones to get up and pack their things, we're leaving."

"Okay? What about the moment? ”

Tina pinched the soft flesh on her chin and thought with a slight frown:

"Speaking of which, I don't seem to have seen her lately, huh?"

Ron shook his head and explained:

"She has other tasks, I asked her to go back to the Rock Clan first, and by the way, let her go home to see her sister."

"Oh, okay."

Tina nodded, and didn't ask more.

She knew that Ron had a clan of dependents who had never seen much of his face, and that he lived far away from the king.

And Moment's sister and clansmen live in that clan of dependents.

However, Tina didn't know exactly what was going on there, and there was only Shirley in the entire Castle of Justice, who had been in contact with the leader of the clan because of the promotion of the Hearthstone Tavern.

Like, that guy is still a kobold?

Strange, how could Ron choose such a weak kobold as the leader of his family?

"Then I'll go first, goodbye Sister Elise~"

With a little doubt, Tina bounced her little head and bounced out of the study.

Before parting, she did not forget to close the door of the study.

"Goodbye."

Elise smiled and waved goodbye.

It wasn't until the door was completely closed that she instantly changed her expression as if she was doing a trick, and looked at the rainbow dragon in front of her with a cold expression.

Seeing this scene, Ron couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Good guy, you are the legendary face-changing monster, right?" ”

"Humph!"

Elise seemed to hear the other party's inner complaint, and suddenly turned her head away and snorted coldly.

“？”

Scratching his head, Ron really didn't understand why this woman had such an attitude towards him.

How dare she?

Doesn't she know that I have her master-servant contract in my hand?

Ron, who was feeling the needle in the woman's heart, shook his head, and in the end, he could only attribute this reaction to the reason why he didn't directly help when the other party prayed for him to help.

"Ahem, don't be emotional, I have something serious to talk about when I look for you."

Ron coughed twice, then picked up the teapot and poured a whole pot of tea into his mouth, burping and curping.

"You're not going to look for me for anything that isn't serious, are you?"

Elise sneered.

"Shhhh

Ron gasped.

The amount of information in this sentence. It's a bit big, huh?

Outside the window, the traces of eternal sun still shine.

There seemed to be two suns in the sky, one round and one flat, one a star and the other a miracle.

Up and down, I looked at it carefully.

After Ron was sure that the soul in the other party's body was still his own, he relieved himself and complained casually:

"By the way, you don't have Stockmore syndrome, do you?"

"You say I'm sick?"

Elise raised her eyebrows, and although she didn't understand the name, she realized that the other party was not complimenting her.

"It's up to you whether you're sick or not, but pay attention to the tone you speak to me, my patience is limited."

"Elise Shadowblade Abitar."

Ron said calmly.

He didn't have time to play house games with the other party.

As mentioned earlier, the other party is just an insignificant dependent, and it is already a supreme gift to be able to sit in the same position as yourself on an equal footing.

And the other party seems to take this gift for granted?

If it weren't for Ron's disrespectful attitude like the one Iris had just now, even the metal dragon would have punished him.

Ron's words seemed to be a slap in the face, and instantly woke up Elise, who was having some kind of unrealistic dream, and her face was red and white for a while, as if she was really performing the change of face of Kawachi's stunt.

But soon, Elise was back to her original form.

"I didn't expect you to know my full name. You know, even I almost forgot that name. ”

A gentle smile regained on her face, and the mage's hand filled the empty teapot again.

Nothing seems to have changed, except that there is an extra chasm called awe between one man and one dragon.

Ron nodded, satisfied with the other party's current posture.

Subordinates must have the appearance of subordinates, and kicking the nose and face is not an excellent quality.

As for the origin of that name.

Do I have something systematic, and I want to tell you about it?

"I don't have much interest in your background, after all, it's not a shame to be a half-elf half-blood."

Ron picked up the cup with the dragon's tail and savored the mellow aroma of the black tea.

"Bang!"

Elise stood up abruptly, her eyes wide open in disbelief.

Before she could speak, Ron interrupted:

"Don't ask me how I know, you're like a naked fruit in my eyes, and as long as I want to know, nothing about you can escape these eyes."

【Tsk tsk】

A seductive voice rang in Ron's ears, and the latter did not reply.

Elise sat back with a grim face, apparently not hearing the voice she had just heard.

But after a while, her face suddenly softened, and the corners of her mouth hooked up and said with a smile:

"In that case, why don't you see what color bottoms I'm wearing today?"

[This guy has a talent for succubi, why don't you leave it to me to train it, maybe a new half-elf succubus will appear in the astral boundary. 】

Ignore the bewitchment of a former succubus queen in your ears.

Ron quietly glanced at Elise's long legs that had been tilted onto the table.

It's a pity that the other party did wear it.

"Green."

Ron was serious.

Hearing this, Elise's face turned slightly red, and she thought to herself: You don't have to be so honest.

Seeing that the other party was soft and hard, Elise had no choice but to lose.

"What the hell do you want me to do?"

"Collect believers? Collecting treasure? Or continue to trouble the scum of the Holy Sect? ”

She folded her fingers and counted them one by one.

“.”

Seeing that the other party was so upright, Ron simply waved his hand and said generously in the style of a true dragon:

"I want them all."

The corners of Elise's mouth stiffened slightly.

If I had known, I wouldn't have talked much.

Seeing her unhappy look, Ron suddenly felt very happy.

Pleasure does not disappear, it is only transferred to other people.

After pinching Elise hard.

Ron comfortably held up the black tea, savored it and said lightly:

"Okay, don't make this gesture, what I just said is just an elective course, it's up to you to do it or not."

"What I'm going to say next is the point."

Hearing this, Elise subconsciously sat up straight: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"On the selection of the next king."

"What !!"

Elise slapped the table, stood up abruptly, and glared at the graceful fellow in front of her:

"You evil dragon, have you finally revealed your true nature?"

"Huh? I don't remember what kind of disguise I did. ”

Ron blew on the tiny tea leaves floating on the water and poured them down in a clean sip.

Then he stood up, looked at the glaring Elise, and pouted:

"Looks like you're still going to need some help to fully understand your status."

"Wait, what are you going to do?"

Elise watched in a panic as the dragon slowly closed the window.

Forced by the terms of the contract, she was now completely unable to use the slightest magic power, let alone resist the other party.

Ron snapped his fingers.

Soon, a crimson figure slowly walked out of the darkness.

"Hello, lovely half-elf."

Elizabeth greeted and smiled as she walked out of the mezzanine of the plane, but the thorny whip she held in her hand didn't give it a friendly feel.

"Huh? Your heart seems to be beating a little fast, is it because you're too excited to see me? ”

pursing her scarlet lips, Elizabeth asked curiously, tilting her head.

Faced with this inquiry, Elise's heart beat faster.

She didn't know what the stranger's purpose was, but she could feel the other's body exuding a superior's temperament and terrifying power fluctuations that were almost impossible to look at.

[Hell, another demigod powerhouse? There are so many demigods in Cullen at the time of aesthetics? 】

Elise cursed in her heart, and at the same time asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" What are you doing? ”

"Don't be afraid, it's just that you can get to know your colleagues in advance."

Ron on the side interjected and explained:

"After all, professional things have to be done by professional people."

"What do you mean?"

Elise looked confused, but soon the confusion turned to fear.

Because Elizabeth was taking her big baby, with a "harmonious" smile on her face, she was getting closer and closer.

"Wait! What are you doing? ”

"I warn you not to come."

"Don't come here!"

"Ahh~~~~~hh

No one knows what happened in the study of the City Lord's Mansion that day.

In short, Vivian, who is still studying in the royal capital, somehow has an extra general who unconditionally supports her.

It's really gratifying, it's gratifying~~~~

—————————

Three hours later

Inside Elise's castle gardens.

"Natina is gone, goodbye Sister Elise."

"Go ahead."

After Tina reluctantly said goodbye to Sister Elise, who had a little weak legs, she returned to the over-the-horizon teleportation circle that had been carved a long time ago.

And behind her stood Bill, Raya, and Fran, looking at the three of them carrying large bags and small bags behind them, they were obviously sorted out.

"Are we really not going to take a boat back?"

Tina turned around and whispered to Ron, who was presiding over the teleportation beside her.

Obviously, she was still a little reluctant to give up on the giant ship that Julia had given her enough to carry an adult golden dragon.

Ron shook his head:

"It's too slow to take the ship, I've already arranged for the crew to drive the ship back, if you want to take it, you can go to Vitas to sit when you go back to the royal capital."

It sounds inconsistent, but it's not a problem.

Along the way, Ron not only unlocked a large number of Dimensional Maps of War Shadows, but also left behind many teleportation landmarks.

The next time he wanted to go to Vitas or the Ibby Forest, Ron would only need to carve out the directional teleportation circle, and he wouldn't have to run away himself.

"Okay."

Tina nodded, knowing that she had no choice but to accept the arrangement.

As the runes of the circle gradually lit up, the teleportation circle began to operate.

Tina, Bill, Raya, and Fran stepped into the circle one after another, their figures fading into the glow.

Iris stood alone and silently, watching the crowd leave.

Until the end.

Ron glanced at Elise, who was standing on the sidelines, somewhat silent.

"Gone."

Shaking his head, he greeted Elizabeth, who slowly walked out from behind him, and Ron turned and stepped into the circle without looking back.

The brilliance of the circle instantly overwhelmed the body of a dragon and a person.

A gentle breeze blows through.

With the fading rune imprints, the once lively garden has also regained its tranquility.

Silently feeling the joy and loneliness in her heart, Elise sighed and finally left the garden in silence.

She knew it wasn't a goodbye.

One day in the future, they will meet again.

It's just that at that time, I'm afraid that the entire Rose Kingdom will undergo earth-shaking changes.

"I hope the new king will be a good man." (End of chapter)
