Chapter 259: The Dragon in the Dream
Of course Leon didn't notice that Klose was walking away muttering while covering his eyes. He was putting clothes on his head.
By the time he was dressed and opened the car door, a group of brothers had gathered outside. They were the ten people from Mettenheim who had followed him at the beginning.
However, none of these big guys were concerned about the Lord's injuries, but were trying to peek into the carriage with winks...
"Ahem... Sir, are you alright with your injury?"
Summer, who had just whispered secretly with Klose for a while, came to greet the lord.
"I'm fine now... Summer, let the brothers stay here and have a meal, then turn around and go back to Qicha Fortress. Agathon stabbed me with a sword, I have to give him some reward..."
Li Ang didn't know that in the eyes of his brothers, he had become a super scumbag. Looking at this group of men whispering to each other, he thought they were worried about his injuries. He was quite moved and felt that the people of Mettenheim were indeed good brothers who valued feelings.
Sammer turned around to pass on the message, but then he turned around and winked at Klose - in the past, this kind of message-passing job was done by Wendy, but it seems that something has happened and it is not convenient for Wendy anymore...
Apparently, Klose has been gossiping with his fellow countrymen...
However, Klose still knew his limits. He only mentioned it to the old brothers who had followed Leon through thick and thin at the beginning.
After all, these old brothers already know a lot...
When they were in Fletcher Village, they always saw Leon and Sarah sneaking around alone without the mercenaries' knowledge;
When they were in Mai Xiangling, they saw Leslie and Sarah come out of Leon's tent at the same time...
And then he met Miss Amy from White Hart Castle. Amy actually took the initiative to come to the Lord to "study", and then she stuck with the Lord all day long...
Up to now, the Lord has even captured Noldor elves like Wendelf!
Still fighting with injuries!
Klose felt that the Lord's technical level was incredible, even better than that of the 'playboy' Mirgan that Eric had mentioned - no matter how many women that guy had, they were all human, but the Lord didn't even let the elves go!
Klose and the others now admired the Lord in every aspect... Then he immediately thought of the book that he had intended to use as toilet paper, but Anson had desperately snatched it from him.
Anson said it was some kind of officer's memoirs that could improve certain skills, and then he gave the book to the lord...
It seems like everything started after the lord got the book?
It seems that the book is indeed quite useful, and it has obviously greatly improved Lord Leon's personal skills!
But the officer's memoirs seemed to have been sold by the Lord at a high price... No wonder those knights were willing to spend so much money on that wrinkled manuscript!
Klose now feels a little regretful - he has limited education and has never liked reading. He would fall asleep when he sees densely packed text.
But if he had known that the book had such a powerful effect, he would have studied it very hard!
It seems that the book was sold to Qicha Fortress?
Um…gotta get that book back!
Klose still had a good memory. The person who bought the book was indeed the knight stationed at Qicha Fortress, but it would be difficult to get it back now...
…
Wendy wasn't actually asleep at all.
She was still recalling the lord's nervous and concerned look towards her, and the warmth she felt in his palm when he held her left hand.
She felt that Leon had always fooled her in the past. When teaching her strategies or something like that, he always let her "experience the process". Even when he was training Alice to adapt to grenades, he tricked her into being a villain...
But now it seems that Li Ang was deliberately bullying me?
Humph...what is written in those knight novels is indeed true, men will always bully girls to attract their attention!
Does he really think of himself as a little girl?
Humph, I'm fifty years old, not fifteen!
Wendy felt that the Lord's technical skills were too poor...
But now that I think about it, it seems that I am also... quite happy?
Most of the Noldor elves are rather indifferent and naturally would not have any ideas about underage girls like Wendy. Wendy has certainly never had such an experience in her tribe.
Wendy was now in a state of confusion. According to the age of the Noldor elves, she would not be considered an adult for another twenty years. According to the rules of the Noldor tribe, she had to wait until she reached adulthood before...
Well, twenty years is not a long time—but how many twenty years can he have?
No one has the ability to make him live to a thousand years like the Noldor... But maybe, I can change the rules of the Noldor?
Become... King of the Noldor.
No need to wait twenty years...
Lord Leon has been teaching me political tactics and said that he wants me to become the Queen of the Noldor - does he think so too?
No wonder this guy keeps saying that I'm an underage girl...
By the time the lord returned to the carriage with a plate of mare's milk and fried eggs he had prepared himself, Wendy's thoughts had already turned to decades later.
Perhaps Vendatil is right. Underage girls really shouldn't read too many knight novels...
When Wendy opened her eyes again, she was like a different person, with purple light almost overflowing from her eyes.
"Leon... did you make this yourself?"
This was the first time Wendy called the lord by his name, without using any honorifics that might create a sense of alienation.
The lord didn't notice it at all. After all, Leon was not very sensitive about identity and titles.
"Ah... yes, I only know how to make this ... I fried these two and they are burnt, so I'll eat them myself. You eat these two..."
Li Ang held the plate and looked at Wendy with some uneasiness. He had never been able to cook, and he had no experience with the seasonings from the Pand Continent. He felt that what he cooked might not taste very good...
But Wendy thought the lord's uneasiness was something else...
She leaned closer with a smile on her face, her eyes curved into crescents: "You only took one plate, how are the two of us going to eat?"
This is the army, of course there are not so many plates, being able to carry such a plate is considered a special treatment given to the Marshal by the brothers...
After all, these days when the army goes on an expedition they usually distribute food in iron lunch boxes, which are those large metal cups with handles that they use to scoop water or serve soup.
But fried eggs can only be served on a plate, so the lord of course used the only silver plate.
In fact, there was not only one plate, but also only one fork - they were all the lord's personal belongings, so naturally there was only one set.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about the troops marching, so we'll just have to make do with it..."
Li Ang directly picked up a piece of fried egg and prepared to feed it.
Wendy's face turned red again, thinking that humans are really more cunning. He only took a plate and a fork, this must be Leon's trick, right?
To be honest, the lord really has no tricks up his sleeve right now. He just simply wants to be nice to the little girl who cut her wrists and used her blood to save him.
After all, Wendy was indeed an underage girl in his eyes, and it was quite heartbreaking to see her.
But anyway, the two of them did slowly come together, eating from the same plate, and of course getting closer and closer.
"Leon, it would be great if you could live to be a thousand years old..."
Wendy was still thinking about her previous thought, and she probably had already thought about it from decades to hundreds of years later.
"Huh? Why live so long... But then again, if I keep my heart rate at this rate, maybe I can live to be a thousand years old..."
My Lord thinks that among all the creatures on land, turtles are probably the only ones with such a slow heartbeat. A slow heartbeat means a slow metabolism. Maybe he can really live a long life?
Since Wendy mentioned her life span, Leon began to re-examine his own condition.
Li Ang knew that the purple crystal fragments that Wendy saw should be the dragon tear that he had always kept in his chest. When he was stabbed by the sword, he knew that something blocked his chest.
It turned purple because the dragon's tears were shattered and embedded in the wound, stained with the blood from the wound.
The royal blue dragon's tears will naturally turn purple when stained with red blood.
As for his sudden coma at that time, Li Ang thought that this might also be related to Dragon Tears, otherwise the external injury on his chest would not have caused him to faint so quickly.
He could clearly remember that he had planned to run away, but he suddenly lost consciousness, as if his soul had been pulled out.
Then, he seemed to have a very clear dream.
In his dream he saw a dragon - he was not sure, it was a white creature with long wings, but it was not the ferocious giant lizard in the legend, but a very gentle and soft creature.
But his intuition told him that it was a dragon.
It was lying in a small lake with only the upper half of its body exposed.
It should be a small white dragon. Its body doesn't look too big, but the part that is exposed above the water is about three meters high. Compared with a human, it is indeed a behemoth.
The reason why Leon felt that such a large creature was just a small dragon was that compared to its head, its sapphire blue eyes seemed to be quite large, and they looked very friendly and warm, with no hostility at all, giving people a childlike feeling.
However, there seemed to be a hint of sadness in those eyes.
This place looks like an island, probably in a valley on the island. The lake where the little white dragon is located is crystal clear, and the bottom of the water seems to be emitting a bright light.
It was like a mirror that continuously emitted blue-purple light, with countless light spots moving like stars.
And that dragon seemed to be lying among the stars.
Because the lake was glowing all the time, Leon couldn't see clearly what was in the lake, but he couldn't get close either. In fact, he couldn't move at all, even his eyes couldn't move.
After all, it is a dream, so it is not surprising to have this state. Almost everyone has had this kind of dream where they cannot move and can only see something.
But the dragon seemed a little surprised after seeing Li Ang. It looked into Li Ang's eyes very seriously and looked into Li Ang's eyes.
His big blue eyes were filled with confusion.
Then, it twisted its long neck back and shouted, "Althea, I think you made a mistake..."
Yes, the little dragon was speaking human language, but its enunciation was not particularly clear. It probably didn't speak very often.
"It can't be wrong... that is indeed the bloodline of Avadain..."
A female voice as gentle as water came from the other side of the valley, but Leon could not divert He could hear it but could not see who made the voice - Leon could only keep his eyes on the lake and the dragon.
Then the dragon seemed to shake its head slightly: "But this guy obviously doesn't look like an elf... Wait! That's not right..."
The little white dragon seemed very surprised. It raised its head high and suddenly stood up from the lake. Its body was about five meters tall.
After it stood up, Leon saw a huge crystal ball from under it.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Leon saw the familiar modern city in the crystal ball, and even his bedroom and the large monitor in it.
He even saw a knight with a flying flag resting on the large green map on the monitor - this was the large map interface of Mount & Blade that he was familiar with.
The flag was very conspicuous, it was a gold griffin flag with a black background.
"What is in his memory? It's too complicated... I can't erase his memory... Fortunately, he probably doesn't know anything..."
This was probably the last words Leon heard the dragon say.
From what he said, it was obvious that the dragon could not understand the modern items in his memory... Li Ang had lived two lives as a human being, and his memories were complicated and intertwined, so it was normal for him not to understand.
After saying this, Li Ang felt like he was falling, falling...
It's like free falling into an endless abyss until your feet finally touch the ground.
Basically, it's a feeling of falling from an unknown height, yet standing firmly.
As he fell, he vaguely heard the gentle voice speaking again, but he only heard half of the sentence.
"He looks a lot like that guy..."
I don’t know who the woman called Althea is talking about, because at this moment, Leon woke up.
The lord could guess that it was the dragon's tear that healed his injuries and brought his consciousness to the dragon, which was why he fell unconscious on the spot.
Unfortunately, his consciousness in the 'dream' could neither speak nor move, so he couldn't ask clearly.
But no matter what, the dragon and the female voice called 'Althea' definitely had no ill will towards him.
After all, Leon knew who Althea was.
The dragon's judgment was obviously a little wrong, and Leon was not someone who knew nothing.
On the contrary, perhaps in the entire continent of Pendor, only Leon knew the name Althea.
No matter how vague the memory is, it will eventually be awakened by certain scenes.
Leon had no feelings towards the name 'Althea', but after seeing the little dragon, he recalled the background story that he had only glanced at hastily when playing the game and had long since faded away.
Althea should be the sister and twin sister of Avadain, the first king of the Noldor elves.
