431: Chapter 202 A Good Mount, Impressive_3 431: Chapter 202 A Good Mount, Impressive_3 Being picked up by Leon in front of everyone, Olivia’s pretty face flushed red when she saw the smiles from Kovis and the guards, her face involuntarily warming up.
Quickly put me down first, I just finished training with the knights and haven’t washed yet, I’m all sweaty.”
Leon’s eyebrows raised, thinking to himself that wasn’t it just right?
Resisting the urge to take a wild sniff at the neck guard, he was afraid of getting hit, and remembered that Lola was still present, he couldn’t act too underhanded in front of his little teacher.
Putting Olivia down, Leon realized the awkwardness akin to avoiding sight on the escape routes of the past, deciding to take his teacher back to the tower first, otherwise, how would he handle tonight.
the Stormhawk described in books?
Is it the gift sent to you by that Princess?” Olivia, her feet back on the ground, poked her head out, curiously looking at the “eagle-headed horse-bodied winged creature” her lover brought back.
“No, that Princess had other rewards, we picked up this Stormhawk halfway.” Leon shook his head, explaining: “I’ll tell you in detail over dinner, I’ll head to the Mage Tower first.”
After saying that, he turned to order the warriors to unarm the Death Claw, letting it return to its nest to rest, and to call Kovis to find a spacious stable to settle the Stormhawk separately.
Raising this creature wasn’t as troublesome as a Griffin, although its diet and care consumed a lot as well, its body size only slightly larger than a military horse put there, eating even more couldn’t match the consumption of a Griffin.
Moreover, the habits of the Stormhawk included a strong horse-like side, not requiring a separate tall nesting tower for it.
After temporarily saying goodbye to everyone, Leon quickly headed towards the Mage Tower.
Entering the circular hall, he took out the empty golden Heroic Spirit Card, unsure if he needed to go to the top floor to perform the summoning ritual.
Fortunately, with a flash of light, Lola’s portrait reappeared on the card’s surface, followed by the Nedy Card disappearing from his hand, condensing into Lola’s spiritual body.
Upon appearing, Miss Mage couldn’t help but tilt her head, folding her arms and huffing: “What?
I would interfere with your intimacy with that child, would I?
You were in such a hurry to toss me back into the tower?”
Having his little secret uncovered, Leon quickly and uprightly retorted, “How could that be!
Haven’t I run out of magic power, isn’t it tiring keeping you silent on me, as your disciple I thought it’d be more comfortable for Teacher Lola to rest in the tower for the night, right?”
Lola’s eyelashes trembled slightly, not at all fooled.
She hadn’t told him that when their souls merged, she could sense the genuine emotions surging up.
Just now, that little naughty mindset made the excuse of respecting teachers and valuing the way sound like a lie to ghosts.
She sighed inexplicably emotionally.
Lola waved her little hand inside her sleeve helplessly: “Alright, I don’t want to be in the way of both sides, go ahead.”
“Alright then, Lola, have a good rest.
Once my magic power recovers a bit, we’ll set out to investigate Rolannar immediately,” Leon said with an apologetic smile.
He was just about to leave when he suddenly saw Lola regain composure, seriously reminding him: “…this time, we can’t delay too long.
Now that demons like that have appeared in the world, it’s not a good omen.
Kovis mentioned that several so-called Official Position Mages had already gone there months ago to assist the Kantadar people in attacking cities….
Rolannar might be in real trouble now.”
With the experience of this incident, realizing what Lola was referring to, Leon’s expression turned serious as well.
He frowned, wanting to speak but holding back the urge, nodding firmly.
“I understand, the day after tomorrow, at first light, we depart immediately.”
After saying a quick goodbye, he suppressed his doubts and turned to leave.
“The demon called me a betrayer….
you really won’t ask anything about that?”
Leon stopped in his tracks, turning his head to look at the girl with white hair looking at him silently.
He shook his head: “I won’t believe half a word spat from a demon’s mouth.
Since you haven’t told me all along, it must be for my own good.
I trust your judgment based on your insight and knowledge.”
Lola’s lips curved into a slight smile.
“Thank you for thinking that way but, regarding them, it’s time to tell you some truths you’ll have to face in the future.”
Leon was taken aback for a moment, turning to look seriously at Lola, curious about what she wanted to say to him.
“Do you think, if your people, the country you were born in, if almost everyone wanted to embark on a path of arrogance, evil, and madness that leads nowhere….
As one of the few who oppose, trying to stop it, even standing against them and risking severance to become enemies….
is this considered betrayal?”
Lola’s gaze was dark as she looked towards the Flame Sun Wheel on the arch ceiling.
“If it turns out that they indeed were mad and wrong, then it isn’t betrayal; rather, under such terrible circumstances, it’s the last chance to save and hit the brakes,” Leon rubbed his chin, pondering aloud.
Lola withdrew her gaze, spreading her hands: “Unfortunately, those who were stopped obviously don’t think that way…haven’t you always been curious about where people like me, the Lorelettians, have gone?”
Leon was stunned; although he had some guesses, this also….
“Including Aphrodite and me, the Desire Demon you just banished, is the third ‘Lorelettian’ you’ve seen, at least, they once bore that name…”
