Chapter 539 I Want Them All
Attacked the partner of his own disciple?
Iris felt it necessary to remind this little girl to keep her teacher's ethics.
Of course, the most important thing is that she was a little jealous of the other party's relationship.
And the strange thing is that Carol also had the same rejection of Iris when he first met her.
Maybe this is the repulsion of the same kind.
Since Iris moved into the castle, the two of them had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every seven days.
Just like the previous scene.
However, despite the quarrel, everyone remained rational and did not make any extreme actions.
Or perhaps, the quarrel itself is a unique way of communication between them.
"Strange, where is Vivian?"
After a verbal battle with Carol, Iris, who won a great victory, suddenly felt that something was missing in the room.
After searching around, Iris was surprised to find that the silver-haired and red-eyed girl who used to get up the earliest did not appear in her position at this moment.
Not only Iris, but even Setsuna was a little surprised.
In the past, Vivian never came late, why hasn't she come down yet today?
Shana frowned slightly: "I'll go up and take a look."
Carroll, who sat back in his seat, stopped her action:
"She practiced the new magic until the early morning yesterday, let her have a good rest today."
Carroll picked up the remaining milk and gulped it down while explaining.
Hearing this, Iris asked curiously: "What magic? So anxious."
Carroll rolled his eyes:
"Hehe, I don't want to tell you!"
Leona on the other side explained:
"The news from a few days ago said that the queen of the new orc kingdom will hold a coronation ceremony soon. She sent invitations to all the major forces in Karen to watch the ceremony, hoping to get their recognition, and also to discuss some future national policies of the new orc kingdom towards the outside world."
"And Vivian is likely to go there as a representative of the Rose Kingdom, so His Majesty the King specially gave several royal secrets, hoping to help Vivian."
After hearing this, Iris showed a look of sudden realization Wu's expression:
"So that's the case. Indeed, I remember that little guy has several unique magics. If Vivian learns them, she can save her life even when facing a legend."
(Due to the privacy of the lady, Iris' age cannot be disclosed in more detail, but it can be said that Iris is about twice as old as the old king, but because she was very young when she was promoted to a legend, she still retains the appearance of a girl after hundreds of years)
Hearing this, Setsuna also nodded:
"Then let her have a good rest."
After that, she took Vivian's favorite soup and prepared to put it back in the kitchen to heat it up, and then serve it to the table after Vivian wakes up.
However, when Setsuna was halfway through, she was stunned.
She was surprised to see Vivian wearing a large magic hat and her eyes were red and swollen at the corner of the stairs on the second floor, walking down slowly.
The red and swollen eyes were obviously the traces of her crying.
Not only Setsuna, but others also quickly noticed this unusual scene.
Without bothering to talk about the previous topic, Hermione, Carol and Leona stood up and quickly ran to Vivian, asking with concern:
"What's going on?"
"Vivian, what happened?" Leona asked worriedly.
"Has an enemy sneaked in? Are you injured? Where is the enemy now?" Carol was very nervous and looked around anxiously.
Even Gaia closed the book.
She tilted her head and looked at Vivian with a puzzled look.
This girl who was as gentle as the moon on weekdays seemed particularly fragile today.
"Is it an illusion?"
Gaia frowned and carefully observed Vivian's condition.
She was sure that Vivian's body had not suffered any physical damage.
However, strangely, after just one night of absence, the powerful aura that had gradually disappeared from Vivian's body became strong again.
At the same time
On the other side
there was another person who did not leave the seat like Gaia.
Iris sat silently on the bench, frowning and began to sense the protective magic circle she had set up in advance.
But unfortunately, she did not get any information feedback from the magic circle, as if it had never been triggered.
This is normal.
If it were in the past, Ron might have had some trouble facing the legendary magic circle.
But at this moment, for a dragon god, he only needs to snap his fingers, and this legendary level of protective magic is like a treasure house with its door open, and he can take whatever he wants.
"Everyone, I, I'm fine, I was just blinded by the wind."
Looking at the people in front of her who showed concern, Vivian was a little moved and a little ashamed.
"Nonsense."
Hermione frowned and directly exposed:
"Your eyes are swollen from crying, you don't look like nothing happened."
"Yes."
Carol said angrily:
"Tell me, Vivian, who is so bold to bully my students! I must teach it a lesson!"
Leona coughed dryly and reminded in a low voice: "But you can't even beat Vivian now."
"It doesn't matter"
Carol said as a matter of course:
"If it doesn't work, let dad take action! Anyway, he has nothing to do. Instead of gardening at home every day, he might as well go out and stretch his muscles."
A cunning light flashed on her face:
"If that doesn't work, bring the boy with the scabbard (Juggernaut) and the old woman (Elise) who live and eat for free together to launch a righteous siege. I don't believe the three legends can't win. !”
As Carroll spoke, he geared up and seemed to have conceived a wonderful battle in his mind.
The more Vivian listened, the more she felt something was wrong. She quickly waved her hands and tried to explain:
"No, no, no enemies, just"
But her words were interrupted by a sudden voice coming from the hat on her head.
"Tsk tsk tsk~~~"
A small dragon claw poked out from under the brim of the hat, slowly lifting the wide pointed magic hat, revealing a small figure hidden inside - a mini version of the iridescent dragon.
"I heard that someone is going to attack me?"
Ron, who had shrunk his body, held his chin and smiled.
"."
There was a sudden silence in the air, and a long silence fell in the room.
But what happened after the silence was beyond Ron's imagination.
Carroll raised his eyebrows:
"Ha! Let's go."
She turned around and pulled Vivian, who looked at a loss, towards the restaurant.
The others also returned to their positions silently, as if they saw nothing and nothing happened.
Ron was left standing there blankly, with a confused expression.
He silently shouted in his heart:
[We promised to meet again after a long absence! I was so happy that I said so! Why do you look like you are looking at a certain dragon? 】
Fortunately, Ron was a little relieved that not everyone had "abandoned" him.
Hermione still stood where she was.
Regardless of other people's actions, her eyes were always chasing that little figure.
Ron keenly sensed Hermione's inner fluctuations and felt warm in his heart.
He didn't speak, he just flew to Hermione, stretched out his hand and gently touched her head, as if to comfort and comfort her.
"Father, welcome back."
Hermione lowered her head and spoke softly.
At this time, a strange emotion surged in her heart.
There was a slight itching in the corner of the eye, as if there was an urge to expel excess water.
However, this was not the function she was originally designed for, so Hermione controlled the excess water and forced it to flow back into the body.
Ron noticed all this, but he didn't say much, and still had a warm smile on his face:
"Let's go, skipping breakfast will be very harmful to your health."
"Um."
Hermione nodded, silently feeling the long-lost warmth in her heart, and turned to follow Ron.
However, just when she was about to retreat, a dragon claw suddenly stretched out and gently grabbed her hand, stopping her movement.
"Already, there is no need to protect others in the shadows."
Ron said in a deep voice, with gentleness and determination in his eyes, as if he could see through Hermione's heart.
Looking at that perfect face that had not changed at all from before he left.
Ron thought for a moment, his eyes softened, and suddenly asked:
"If from now on, you will no longer be a cold construct, but a real human being with flesh and blood, who lives up to your name, are you willing to accept this change?"
Hermione was stunned for a moment
Her eyes widened slightly, as if she was digesting Ron's words.
She quietly raised her head, her eyes lingering on Ron's face.
As a construct, Hermione's existence has always been centered around tasks and responsibilities rather than a sense of self.
Ron's sudden question was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in her heart.
"I"
Hermione spoke softly, but she was interrupted before the words left her mouth.
She raised her head and stared at the being in front of her who had created herself.
Ron's eyes were full of warmth and expectation, as if encouraging her to imagine a new future, a future full of unknowns and possibilities.
Hermione had never thought about the proposition of "self". She felt unfamiliar with the matter of transforming from a constructed life into a "person with flesh and blood", and even had a vague fear.
Having flesh and blood means that she will have real perceptions, emotional experiences, and unknown vulnerabilities.
"Will this change bring me closer to my father?"
Hermione finally asked the doubts in her heart, her voice soft and full of desire.
Ron neither admitted nor denied, but still held Hermione's hand gently.
He understood Hermione's hesitation.
After all, this is a big change, even an adventure.
"Perhaps, this will allow you to have a complete feeling and experience the true meaning of life."
Ron said softly:
"Sorrows and joys, joys and sorrows, will become a part of your life. You will no longer be just a tool to complete orders, but an existence that can pursue your own wishes."
Looking at the confused Hermione.
"Let's go."
Ron did not force her to make a choice now, but held her hand and said with a smile:
"Don't keep them waiting too long."
Hermione raised her head and stared blankly at her creator.
Finally, she nodded, and for the first time an expression called a smile appeared on her lips:
"good"
Hermione and Ron pushed open the beautifully carved oak door and walked into a restaurant as bright as day.
The oval silver dining table, which was more than ten meters long, flickered with light, reflecting the brilliant light of the chandelier on the ceiling.
Everyone had already sat down at the table, and the sound of tableware colliding occasionally mixed in the low conversation.
Vivian sat next to Carol, frowning slightly, turning her head to look at Ron from time to time, as if she was hesitating to explain something.
Her hand subconsciously clenched the napkin in her hand, revealing a bit of nervousness.
When Ron saw this scene, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth and gave her a "reassuring" look.
Ron gently patted Hermione's shoulder and motioned her to return to her seat first.
Then he said unhappily:
"I say, you guys, is this the attitude you use to treat the owner of the Justice Castle?"
Carol raised his eyelids, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and retorted with a hint of disdain:
"Nonsense, this castle was clearly given to Tina by the School of Magic!"
"That's right."
Ron sat down on the main seat that was intentionally or unintentionally vacated by everyone, and his tone was relaxed but firm:
"But hers is mine, what's the problem?"
"You"
This time it was Carol's turn to stare at a loss.
Although she had guessed it long ago, Ron's open disclosure of his relationship with Tina at this moment still shocked her heart.
Vivian, who was sitting next to Carol, couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Although she quickly regained her composure, the subtle changes were still captured by the careful Iris and Leona.
They exchanged a meaningful look with each other, put down the tableware tacitly, pricked up their ears, and prepared to continue listening.
Carol frowned, his tone revealing a bit of displeasure:
"What do you mean?"
Ron spread his hands and shrugged:
"It's very simple. As the partner of a real dragon, this castle is naturally our common property."
"What about Vivian?"
There was a hint of chill in Carol's voice:
"What are you going to do to her?"
As Vivian's enlightenment teacher, Carol knew Vivian's feelings for Ron best.
Ron's special existence in particular has almost become a coordinate and imprint for Vivian.
Carol could not imagine what Vivian would become after losing Ron. Perhaps at that time, death would become a kind of relief.
Whether it was physical or emotional, she would never allow her students to be hurt in this way.
Hearing this, Ron showed a strange expression on his face:
"Who told you that dragons can only have one partner?"
Looking at the stunned Carol, Ron couldn't help but teasing:
"Three wives and four concubines are the good virtues left by the ancestors of the true dragons of all generations. I plan to inherit them well."
Carol was speechless, and Ron turned his eyes to her with a hint of playfulness:
"Besides, you don't think that after that night, you can stay out of it, right?"
Ron glanced at Carol, and then looked around at the others, with a hint of teasing in his eyes:
"I don't plan to let others marry my partner."
After these words came out, Carol was caught off guard.
Even Setsuna and Vivian on the side widened their eyes and their cheeks flushed involuntarily.
On the contrary, Iris, Hermione, Gaia and others seemed quite calm.
The three of them, one is a legendary wizard who has experienced hundreds of years, one is a theoretically emotionless construct life, and one is a plane will whose age starts at twelve digits. Naturally, they will not be excited by Ron's simple words.
As for Leona?
She just wants to eat her sister's melon silently now~~~
For some people, Ron's words are really too lethal.
"Are you kidding about this kind of thing?"
Carol's voice trembled a little because of nervousness.
She wanted to stay calm in front of everyone, but Ron's straightforwardness and boldness seemed to deliberately challenge her psychological defense.
However, Ron did not restrain because of her reaction, but laughed more casually:
"You know, I never make such jokes easily."
Although his tone was light, the seriousness in his eyes was unquestionable.
Because these words were not only said to Carol, but also to the others at the table.
"You! You you. You guy! What are you talking about?"
Carol stuttered and tried to stay calm, but the blush on her face exposed her inner turmoil.
As a person who always speaks his mind, Carol is not very good at hiding his emotions, especially in such occasions.
Ron still looked at her with a smile, as if he enjoyed her embarrassment:
"I am telling the truth. If you don't believe it, you can find a time to confirm it."
Ron continued to tease this beautiful tutor with high attack and low imitation, his voice full of teasing.
After saying this, Carol couldn't hold it anymore.
She turned red all over, like a cooked shrimp, and the blush on her face almost spread to her ears.
"You! You! I don't understand! I don't understand what he is talking about, what nonsense is he talking about!"
She stood up in a hurry, dancing and trying to explain.
But this pale explanation seemed so powerless in front of everyone.
Everyone at the table cast a thoughtful look.
Even Vivian, who was blushing at Ron's previous words, was thinking about something at this moment.
She finally understood why the teacher always acted so strangely when talking about Ron on weekdays.
There is such a person, the more she (he) likes the other person, the more she (he) wants to distance herself from the other person.
Even if they are walking together, looking at each other, and communicating normally, they will be nervous and unable to control themselves, as if being discovered by others to like this thing will cost them their lives.
But if the person she likes really completely cuts off her relationship with her, she will be sad alone at night.
Carol is undoubtedly such a character.
Unfortunately, Ron is not going to play any "noble lady confession strategy game" with her.
Straight ball is the best attack!
In particular, when you have enough power to kick through the net, your super brain will tell you the best solution to score everything-a straight ball is enough!
"You guys!"
Carol, who really couldn't stand this atmosphere, could only get up in a hurry, leaving a sentence "I'm full" and fled.
"Deng, deng, deng"
Listening to the sound of footsteps going upstairs gradually fading away, everyone came back to their senses.
They looked at each other
After a moment of silence, Iris was the first to lose her patience and burst into merciless laughter.
"Puchi, hahahahaha"
Suddenly, the whole restaurant was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. (End of this chapter)
