Chapter 1110 - Eve of Departure (2/2)

Forget it, we can discuss the expression of love in detail next time.

“Don’t worry, even if something were to happen, I can return anytime with my dragon essence. Even though it is risky, it can still work.”

This was the solution they came up with after Rhode’s younger sister and Gillian researched the black pole. As of now, Rhode was like a magical girl who had signed an ominous contract. The dragon essence was his ‘original self’, while his body was the ‘tool’ controlled by a soul. As long as the dragon essence existed, he could toss his body to anywhere and as soon as he realized something bad was about to happen, he could forcefully trigger the attraction of his body and the dragon soul essence and be transported back. Of course, this method was primitive compared to the mature technique used by the black pole to transmigrate between planes of existence. It was just like comparing a bicycle and BMW. The former just needed to be able to move, while more things were expected from the latter…

But as long as they served their purpose, they were basically the same.

“… Alright then, in this case, I have nothing more to say.” Even though Marlene wasn’t aware of Rhode’s true thoughts, she was apparently convinced by him. After considering it for a few moments, she shook her head. “So, as for the rest…”

“Everything goes on as usual. I’ve spoken to the twin dragons. They will replace me in looking out for the Void Territory and Country of Light… so don’t worry about that scoundrel, Ion, doing anything behind your back. Sonia has also told me that Lilian’s strength is recovering steadily. I think with her current strength, even though she can’t fight 300 rounds with the Dark Dragon, she should still be strong enough to resist his attack. But you’ve got to be wary too and be more conservative during this period. By the way, considering the fact that those unknown beings may slip into the Void Territory, you should send out men to patrol. If there is any issue, attack without hesitation. But be careful, don’t get caught by that thing like Erin.”

“Understood. I will make the arrangements.”

After hearing Rhode’s advice, Marlene nodded. Then, as though recalling something, she asked with a complicated expression: “Erm… should we let Anne go with you?”

“Hmm?”

Upon hearing her suggestion, Rhode gazed at her with knitted brows. As of now, Anne was no longer fit to be in the first echelon. Besides, she had no self-awareness and pressure, ate and slept all day, and seemed to be indulging in a life of luxury and corruption. It went without saying that Rhode couldn’t possibly bring her along to that unknown, dangerous place as even he had to act meticulously on his own. If it were possible, he wouldn’t want to bring anyone along.

Even though Marlene realized his doubt, she hesitated, before saying. “… It is winter soon…”

“… I will be back as soon as possible.”

Rhode turned pale slightly before giving a negative answer. Although Anne was bothersome, having an outsider was already bothersome enough for him!

That’s right. Lydia said she would be heading to that strange place with Rhode to rescue Erin no matter what.

Come to think of it, why didn’t I realize in the past that the archangel and moon princess were so ‘full of love’? Can’t they even consider their standpoints at the very least? Just which play of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is this?

Rhode let out a helpless sigh at this thought. Then, he stood up, took the black pole from the side, and pondered in silence. He extended his hand to pat Marlene’s head.

“Alright then, I’ll leave this place in your care.”

Gazing at the young lady, Rhode said in an incomparably serious tone.
