The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

After some heart-warming sister plot.

Finally, under Ron's guidance, everyone went up the spiral staircase, bypassed the twisting corridors, and finally reached the third floor of the Hearthstone Tavern and sat down.

Tina couldn't help but look up and found that she had never noticed the layout of the entire third floor before.

She had been shopping for card holders before.

The light shines through the stained glass windows and reflects on the surrounding walls, filling the entire space with a mysterious and romantic atmosphere.

"Why are you so familiar with this place?"

Watching Ron skillfully take out a piece of top-quality tea from the storage box that Shirley placed in the corner and threw it to Setsuna for her to make tea.

Tina, who was following him, finally couldn't help the doubts in her heart and asked aloud.

"Cough cough cough!"

Ron coughed violently, thought quickly in his mind, and hurriedly explained:

"I said before that I was involved in the construction before this place opened, right? So it's normal for me to know where Shirley's things are placed, right?"

"Okay."

Seeing Ron's cheerful answer, Tina could only answer dubiously.

Setsuna quickly made tea and served tea to everyone with exquisite porcelain pots.

This is Cuiming green tea picked in early spring from the Ibi Forest. The tea is fragrant and the tea soup is golden in color and looks very attractive.

Ron and Tina sat around the table, drinking tea and chatting.

"Kick, kick, kick"

A series of footsteps came from outside the door.

Vivian and others who were visiting the second floor also came up.

Since it was their first time to come to the Hearthstone Tavern, Leona proposed to take them on a tour of the entire Hearthstone Tavern.

So only Ron, Tina, and Setsuna went to the third floor first.

The leader, Carol, looked at the room with only Tina and Ron in confusion, and asked in surprise:

"Strange, where is Shirley? Where did she go?"

Ron rolled his eyes:

"You ask me, who am I asking? I'm not a prophet."

As Vivian and others entered one after another.

This small private room of less than 80 square meters belonging to Shirley was suddenly filled with people, making it seem a little crowded.

Ron looked in surprise at the sword masters Reinhardt and Leona who were following Carol, as well as the curious magic apprentices.

"Why are you guys coming in too?"

Forget about the Sword Master and Leona coming in, what's going on with these kids who are only at the magician level?

"Sorry, I don't know why, so I followed the crowd up."

Reinhardt scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled awkwardly.

Compared to him, Leona is much more natural.

"There is no one outside. According to the contract rules, I can go into the tavern to rest. Besides, I was just chatting with my sister."

"All right."

Ron shook his head.

These two are our own people, so it doesn't matter if they come in.

He turned his eyes slightly and looked at the nervous magic apprentices:

"What about you?"

Facing this colorful dragon that could beat up the Sword Master violently, the apprentices seemed a little timid and didn't even dare to breathe.

No one dared to answer.

The leading scarred girl in college uniform had no choice but to stand up and say:

"Um, hello, dear Mr. Dragon. Instructor Shirley has told us to treat every customer well. We thought we would see if there is anything we can do to help."

"Yeah."

The apprentices behind him nodded in agreement.

At the same time, they were also quietly looking at everything in the room.

This is the first time they have entered the third floor for so long.

"Fine."

Ron nodded, but did not scare the apprentices anymore.

But then he asked again:

"What about Shirley? I can sense that she is not in the Opal Zone?"

Facing the dragon's doubts, it was still the freckled girl who bravely stood up and answered:

"Teacher Shirley just said that she went to Forsberg to pick up the order."

After speaking, she carefully looked at the other party's reaction.

After making sure everything was okay, he continued:

"She said that if the adults arrive, they should go to the third floor to rest for a while and she will be back soon."

"I see."

Ron and the rest of the people in the Castle of Justice suddenly realized where the Silver Dragon lady had gone.

[Forslburg] is a very famous pub-like dining place in the royal capital, only opened in the Nika District.

But it is different from ordinary pubs.

[Forslburg] only sells dishes and does not sell any alcohol. At the same time, no one is allowed to bring alcohol in the store to drink.

Although I am very confused about the strange rule of prohibiting alcohol, and the shop owner's principle of refusing to open a branch in the Opal District.

But because this store is of high quality, low price and tastes very good, many nobles like to go to the Opal District to pack a few meals and take them back to enjoy.

Shirley is one of them.

She likes several light side dishes made by [Forslburg] very much, and she often buys some and brings them back to enjoy.

After work, she would go to the third floor of the tavern, pair light dishes with the collection of mellow wine, and drink alone under the bright moonlight.

This is a corner of Shirley's daily life.

Presumably this time it was because the order quantity was too large, so she had to go get it in person.

After all, not everyone has storage magic equipment.

"Okay, then let's wait here for her to come back."

Tina nodded and sat casually on the chair where Ron and Shirley had fought.

This made Ron's eyelids jump.

Although that happened many days ago, Shirley must have cleaned the place, so there won't be any peculiar smell.

But the person involved will inevitably always have a subtle sense of weirdness in his heart.

"You guys go out first."

In order to avoid exposing anything, Ron looked at the magic apprentices and gave random orders.

"yes."

Seeing that Lord Dragon had issued an expulsion order, these apprentices had no choice but to leave angrily.

"etc."

Suddenly, Ron called them again.

The apprentices turned around in confusion.

"May I have your name?"

Ron looked at the freckled girl walking at the end of the line and suddenly asked.

"me?"

The freckled girl pointed at herself in surprise.

"Yes, it's you."

Ron nodded.

"Lord Dragon, my name is Susan. My full name is Susan Cardina. You can also call me Susu."

She replied somewhat stutteringly.

Susan seemed a little nervous and kept saying all her nicknames.

But even though she was nervous, her body still stood upright.

When speaking, she put her hands behind her back and raised her head, unlike other apprentices who shrank their necks in fear of the dragon's power.

Carol and Vivian looked at her thoughtfully, seeming to understand what Ron was thinking.

Ron nodded:

"Susan, I understand, you all should go out."

The apprentices turned around and left in confusion again.

They had no idea what they were missing.

Sometimes the turning point in life is just such a moment.

If you catch it, your life will undergo a shocking reversal, and you may ascend to the Nine Heavens, or fall into the abyss.

If you can't catch it, life will be like a pool of calm water without any waves.

Wait until all the apprentices have left.

Everyone in the Castle of Justice also relaxed a little.

You still have to maintain your image in front of outsiders.

Now there is only one Juggernaut left in the room who is relatively unfamiliar, but he is still an old acquaintance of Ron, so everyone doesn't care that much.

Tina collapsed on the comfortable chair without any image, and said carelessly:

"By the way, what happened to Billy Arden?"

"It's Bill Liarton."

Vivian corrected her in a low voice.

"Gee, don't worry about those details."

Jin Longniang waved her hand, then looked in the direction of Sword Master and Ron, and asked curiously:

"Tell me quickly, why did this person give up magic?"

Even a real dragon would not underestimate the power of magic. They are just a little lazy and don't want to take the initiative to learn.

Guys who voluntarily give up their magic power are even rarer among greedy races like humans.

Hearing this, Ron also turned to look at Rein Hart.

I only learned about the opponent's former power and the fact that he gave up his magical heart through the system appraisal.

But the specific reason was not clear to Ron.

Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, Rein Hart smiled bitterly:

"You don't need to look at me. Actually, I'm not very clear about this matter."

"Ever since Bill's personality suddenly changed five years ago, overnight, he not only lost all his magic power, but also began to refuse to interact with anyone."

Speaking of this, Reinhardt couldn't help but sigh:

"Even though we have been close friends for many years, he always refuses to communicate with me."

"Lost all magic power?"

Ron mused.

No wonder the dirty guy was surrounded by an extremely thick magic aura, but there was no trace of magic in his body.

This symptom is obviously very similar to Tyrande's previous condition.

Presumably, Bill Liarton lost his magical "heart" for some reason, resulting in the destruction of his strength overnight.

It's just that unlike Tyrande, this talented young man has not met anyone like Ron who can reach out and give him a hand.

"but."

The young sword master suddenly said seriously:

"Although I don't know the specific situation, after years of secret investigation, I still found some clues."

"What clue?"

Tina, who was already fascinated, couldn't help but ask.

She loved such bizarre events.

"The rise of the Liaton family has actually always been a mystery."

Reinhardt leaned against the desk, looked at the blue sky outside the window, and slowly compiled the results of his inquiries over the years.

"In order to understand the problem with my best friend, I started with his upbringing environment, and finally found that the problem should lie in his family."

"I consulted a large number of relevant classics on the development history of the royal capital's aristocracy, and found that the current head of the Liaton clan was originally from an ordinary family in the Nika district."

"It was only seventy years ago that the originally mediocre Earl of Liaton suddenly rose to prominence. He obtained the Magister rank badge at a rapid rate, successfully entered the Opal District, and obtained the title of Baron."

Carol was a little confused and interrupted and asked:

"But what does this have to do with the disappearance of Bill Liarton's magic?"

Ron, who lay on top of Vivian again, frowned and said nothing.

He suddenly felt that the name of the Liaton family was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

"Where did you hear that?"

Reinhardt sighed and suddenly turned his head to look in Setsuna's direction.

"With all due respect, this girl who released the transformation technique should be the Ice Wolf Clan captured by the [Black Beast Mercenary Group], right?"

Setsuna frowned slightly when his identity was revealed.

"What do you want to say? Do you want to catch Sha So?"

Setsuna said slightly coldly.

At the same time, she subconsciously bent her legs slightly, lowered her hands naturally, and her originally hidden sharp claws slowly stretched out.

That was the precursor of the Ice Wolf Clan's attack.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I meant"

Reinhardt raised his hands in panic.

Also at this moment.

Ron finally recalled the memory of Liaton.

He first used his eyes to stop the moment when he was a little angry, and at the same time comforted him casually:

"Don't worry, no one can take you away from me."

"Lord Ron."

Setsuna's face instantly turned red, like a cooked shrimp, wisps of steam came out of her forehead, and circles began to appear in her eyes.

This sentence was originally just a statement that Ron wanted to prove that he was powerful, but it seemed that Setsuna had misunderstood something.

Fortunately, Vivian next to her saw that something was not going well and quickly came over to help her.

Otherwise, this girl from the ice wolf clan would faint from excessive excitement.

Ron paid no attention to these details.

He recalled what the slave trader said to him, turned to look at the solemn face of the sword master and said slowly:

"If I remember correctly, Bill's father, Earl Liaton, had secretly purchased slaves of various races before?"

Reinhardt looked at the iridescent young dragon in front of him in surprise, a little surprised that the other party actually knew these things.

But he quickly nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Yes, I very much suspect that the current leader of the Liaton clan, Bill's father, is conducting some kind of evil human experiment."

"I suspect that Bill's insanity was related to these experiments."

"Although I really want to find evidence in this regard, Earl Liaton is very cautious. After he noticed that I was investigating this matter, he quickly cut off all connections with the slave market."

"Even many of the contacts of the [Black House] were secretly murdered. I suspect that he was carrying out a silence operation."

Speaking of which

Reinhardt finally told Ron the request he had been thinking about for a long time:

"Sir Ron, I would like to ask you to help this poor friend of mine. No matter what the price is, I can pay it."

Everyone in the room turned to look in the direction of the iridescent dragon, curious about what decision he would make.

Facing the Juggernaut's request, Ron suddenly sneered:

"What? Now the perfect knight of justice has been reduced to the point where he needs to beat around the bush?"

As he spoke, Ron's nine-color dragon eyes locked directly on Rein Hart's eyes.

The latter lowered his head with guilt.

"You, have you been thinking about this rhetoric since he appeared in our field of vision?"

The protective runes in the nine-colored pupils flashed past.

"Don't try to deceive a dragon. Didn't Tamara teach you this?"

Ron played with his tail and said casually.

"I"

Reinhard lowered his head and gritted his teeth, not knowing how to answer.

The compassionate lady's pastor was forced by the knight's treaty and the shackles of his family, and coupled with the identity of the other count, the investigation was hit by obstacles at every turn and progress was difficult.

Almost all the clues that we have worked hard to find over the years have been cut off by the other party.

Seeing his best friend becoming more and more depraved, Reinhardt could only watch silently.

This torturous feeling kept the young man with the titles of [Perfect Knight] and [Sword Master] awake almost all night.

But, the moment he saw Ron.

He suddenly had a bold idea - maybe this dragon master could help him?

And he was indeed deliberately guiding Ron and others' curiosity about Bill, urging them to understand all this.

Thinking of this,

Reinhardt suddenly felt that what he had just done was too ridiculous.

Humility, honesty, compassion, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor, perseverance, benevolence.

The Eight Creeds of the Knights came to mind.

"Wake up."

"A true knight should not leave his responsibilities to others."

Lady Mercy’s words seemed to ring in her ears.

This sentence was like a flashy voice, hitting Reinhardt's heart hard.

He raised his head suddenly, and then bowed deeply in Ron's direction to apologize:

"I'm sorry, I violated the knight's creed. Please, Lord Ron, just pretend you didn't hear those words."

After speaking, Reinhard turned to look at the other people in the room and saluted again to apologize:

"I'm sorry everyone, I need to excuse you."

After saying that, Rein Hart turned around and walked out the door.

He was going to try again.

Regardless of the outcome, these things should be done by him personally rather than delegated to others.

"etc."

Suddenly, a slightly playful voice called out to the sword master.

Reinhardt turned his head and met Ron's teasing eyes.

Ron held his chin with his left hand and slowly said:

"What is the full name of Earl Liaton?"

Reinhardt didn't know what this powerful rainbow dragon was thinking or what he was planning.

But he still answered truthfully:

"Burke Liarton." (End of Chapter)
