It had been a year since he met Leila in Valoran City and came to Aotefilia. This year was the happiest day since the death of the protagonist's parents. The warmth and the feeling of home made Reiner enjoy and cherish it very much. This feeling was different from when he was with Anigram. Anigram was as strict as a father, while Leila was as warm as a mother. Although Reiner enjoyed this kind of life, he didn't relax his cultivation. Reiner would go to the back mountain of the manor to meditate every morning. This was what Reiner often did. Every time Reiner cleared his distracting thoughts and calmed his mind to meditate, he would have a strange feeling, as if he could hear the sound of all things. It was mysterious and indescribable. After that, he would practice swordsmanship. Leonard was very confident in his swordsmanship. His swordsmanship had been groped out through countless sparring and abuse with Anigram. It was the swordsmanship that suited him the most. The swordsmanship that suited him the most was the strongest. Afterwards, Reiner would also develop some strange tricks. Most of these tricks were things from Reiner's previous life. Many of them were from comics and novels, and most of them were familiar to everyone. The rest of the time, he was by Little Lucy's side. The two of them often ran around the manor and played all kinds of childish games. Sometimes, they would play naughty tricks on the servants in the manor, but the servants were not angry. They loved Lucy very much and loved her like their own daughter. Sometimes, they would cooperate with Lucy's teasing to make him happy. During this period of time, Lucy was the happiest, and Reiner was also the happiest.
The year 776 had arrived.
In the train station of a border town in the north of the continent stood a young man. He was wearing casual clothes and a black robe. His short black hair covered his lazy eyes, and his childish but handsome face had traces of sleepiness. The young man stood there for several hours. The passersby looked at him in surprise. At this moment, a uniformed train station staff came up to the young man with a professional smile on his face and asked softly,"Hello! Sir, is there anything I can help you with?”" Nothing, I'm waiting for someone." The young man scratched his head and replied," I see. Sorry to bother you. I'll take my leave first. If there's anything you need, please let me know." After saying that, the staff nodded and left.
"Right! Please wait a moment. Is this Magnolia Town?”The young man thought of something and quickly turned around to stop the staff member.
"Huh? What are you talking about? This is the border town of Kongo in the north. It's thousands of miles away from Magnolia!”The staff member looked at the young man in shock.
"Na, na ni? B-Border? Kongo? Didn't I take the train from Valoran City to Magnolia? Why are you here in the Republic of Korea?" The young man widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Didn't you listen to the station's broadcast? Even Wan Luolan didn't know about the train in the Republic of the Cong, right? How many trains did you take?”The staff member looked at the young man in front of him with a black line. It was as if the end of the world had arrived.
"Uh... here. Well, when I heard the announcement, I got off the train and got on the train. I don't remember how many times I took the train.”The young man scratched his head, not knowing what to do.
Needless to say, who else could have the ability to get lost from the south to the north on a train other than our Rainer? At this moment, our Rainer was sitting on a bench with a dispirited expression. You could even see the two ghost flames floating above his head. It was obvious that he still could not accept the fact that he could travel half the continent by train. He took out his wallet and looked at the few coins left in it. Reiner felt sad.
"If I had known that I would get lost even on the train, I wouldn't have rejected Sister Leila's guide. It's all my fault for showing off!"
"Coo coo…" At this moment, his stomach was growling.
"How unfortunate!" Reiner shouted out the catchphrase of a man who was known as the girl pushers in a certain city.
"Sigh! "Forget it, since things have come to this, I can only helplessly accept it. I should go earn some money to fill my stomach first." Reiner sighed and stood up. He picked up his luggage and walked towards the Mercenary Association that he had just heard about. For Reiner, the fastest way to earn money was to become a mercenary and do a few high-reward missions.
Let's not talk about our Lord Reiner heading towards the Mercenary Guild, but why would Reiner appear in Konggo Town? This has to start from two days ago
You said you want to travel?"
Reiner was enjoying a delicious lunch with Leila and Lucy at a long dining table. In this happy environment, Reiner voiced the thought that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.
"No. Does Reiner think it's bad to be with us?”Leila frowned slightly and said unwillingly.
"That's right. Don't you like me anymore?”Lucy, who was sitting opposite him, jumped down from the chair and ran to Reiner. She grabbed Reiner's clothes and looked at Reiner pitifully with tears in her eyes.
"How can that be? Big brother likes Lucy the most. It's just that there are some things that big brother has to do.”Reiner wiped the tears from Lucy's eyes and placed his right hand on Lucy's little head. He rubbed her soft golden hair and said gently.
"Something that must be done? Reiner, have you not given up yet?”Leila knew what Reina was talking about and sighed helplessly.
"Give up? How can I give up?" Reiner said in a low voice. Due to the strength in his clenched fists, his slightly sharp fingernails pierced deeply into his palms, bringing about waves of heart-piercing pain. This pain caused the flames of hatred in Reiner's eyes to burn even more fiercely.
"You don't understand how powerful the other party is. It's not something you can deal with alone.”Leila said with a frown. She really hoped that Reiner would give up on hatred. She didn't want Reiner to live in the sea of hatred, but Leila knew that she couldn't stop Reiner. Who would be able to do that?
"It is precisely because of this that I want to travel and become stronger. I can also find companions who can help me.”Reiner said firmly. At this moment, familiar yet unfamiliar faces appeared in his mind-" Fire Dragon " Naz. Doragnir, Iron Dragon Gajilu Reifox, Sky Dragon Wendy Mabel, Thunder Dragon Laxus Doria! With the power of the four Dragon Slaying High Mages, as well as Elsa, Mila, and Gray, they would definitely be able to kill that black bug. But would things go as Reiner thought? When Reina and the others disappeared with the Black Dragon's roar, Reina finally understood what Leila had said to him back then and how powerful the Black Dragon was. This was something to be discussed later.
" Since you've made up your mind, I won't stop you." Leila sighed helplessly and looked at Reina gently.
" Thank you, Sister Leila," Reina said excitedly, a hint of guilt in her eyes. Reina respected Leila very much and didn't want to go against her. Seeing Leila nod, Reina heaved a sigh of relief.
"Where do you want to go, Reiner? I can introduce you to some good places.”Leila composed herself and returned to her original smile. She said to Reina,
"I already have a place I want to go.”Reiner was excited when he thought of the Union's symbol.
"Where is it?" Leila asked curiously.
"It's a goblin's tail!" Reiner said excitedly.
"A goblin's tail? That's a good place!" Leila smiled and said,
"Then Brother Reiner must wait for Lucy there! When Lucy grew up, she would definitely go and look for Brother Reiner.”Lucy clenched her small fists and looked at Reiner seriously with her big watery eyes.
" Sure," Reiner gently caressed Lucy's hair and agreed softly.
"Then we have an agreement! Come and pull the hook." As he spoke, he extended his pinky. When Lucy grows up, she will be a bride for Brother Reiner!”Lucy said happily,
"Yes! Eh? What?" Reiner subconsciously agreed. When he and Lucy's fingers hooked together, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. When he reacted, he was shocked and his brain froze.
"No, Lucy, you... You... I... I... It was just that... This... Reiner was so frightened by Lucy's words that he was at a loss for words. However, Reiner was still a little happy. After all, this was the first time he had heard such words, even though the other party was only a nine-year-old girl.
"Aiya! "Our little Lucy is unexpectedly bold." Leila was also a little surprised by her daughter's words. Not only was Leila not angry, but she also smiled at Reina and said,"This is not bad! If the other party was Reiner, I would agree!”
Before Reiner could completely recover, he was shocked by Leila's words and immediately crashed.
"Sister Leila, it's fine that Lucy is young, but why are you…" Reina looked embarrassed and pleaded with Leila.
"Lucy is not small!" Lucy placed her hands on her hips and said," I pulled the hook just now. You can't go back on your word!"”Lucy puffed up her cute little cheeks and opened her big watery eyes. She said to Reiner in a very serious tone, as if she was going to cry if he dared to say it.
Looking down at Lucy's serious eyes, Reiner was at a loss.
"Leonard!"
" What, what's the matter, Sister Leila?" Reina looked up at Leila, but was shocked by her unprecedented expression. In the past, Leila always had a gentle smile on her face. She had never been so serious and serious, which made Reina a little uncomfortable.
"I'll leave Lucy to you in the future.”Reiner was a little stunned by Reiner's words. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Reiner felt like he was entrusting his child to him.
Reina looked down at Lucy's tender but adorable face, then at Leila's expectant eyes.
"Don't worry, Sister Leila. Lucy is my baby!”Reiner patted Lucy's head and said gently. There was no hint of perfunctoriness, and his eyes were filled with determination. This sentence represented a promise and responsibility.
"Yay! That's great, Brother Reiner. I like you the most.”The happy Lucy immediately threw herself into Reiner's arms. Even Reiner's face, which was comparable to a dragon's, could not help but turn red.
That's great. Thank you, Leonard!”Leila said gratefully.
"There's nothing to thank me. I like little Lucy very much too!”Reiner smiled and waved his hand.
"I really want to see Lucy and Reiner walk into the church in a wedding dress. Unfortunately, I can't wait. That day is coming soon." Leila said with regret and sadness in her heart. However, she looked at Reiner and Lucy with a gentle expression. Her eyes were filled with reluctance. Reiner and Lucy didn't see this, and they wouldn't let them see it either.
