Chapter 879 - Separation
Theo and his group finally left the Dark Poison Swamp, eting both Lightning Authority and Thunder King.
Since this was the first ti Agata and Ava t the Thunder King, their eyes were locked on him, wondering who he was.
"I've brought them. Do you need anything else, Your Excellency?" The green-haired man bowed his head, waiting for the next instruction.
"It's fine. You can go back. Sorry for disturbing you, and thank you for bringing them to ."
The green-haired man nodded and disappeared while saying, "In that case, please excuse ."
Theo glanced at the Poison King for a mont before his head turned to the dragon.
"I'm ready."
"Good." The dragon nodded with a smile.
When they were going to this place, Theo found a few newly made craters around the area. It was clear there was a huge fight earlier.
And he could see what had transpired. So people from the Griffith Family seed to be waiting for them and ended up fighting against the dragon.
"Thank you for your help." Theo thanked him as this was the least he could do.
"No problem. Have you gotten your answer yet?"
"Yes. I will go alone." Theo nodded and turned to Agata. "She'll return to Italy."
"Alright." The dragon smiled and said to the Thunder King. "Bring her to Italy. Make sure no harm cos to her."
"Understood." The Thunder King acknowledged the order without hesitation.
"Eh? Isn't this…" Theo frowned before realizing why the dragon did this. "You are…"
"Let's talk on the way."
Theo let out a sigh and walked to Agata first. "It's ti for to go."
"Don't worry. I'll be fine." Agata waved her hand.
Theo put on a sad smile and nodded.
Agata gave a peck on his lips before stepping back while waving her hand. "See you in a few years."
Theo felt blessed to have a woman so understanding. He waved his hand for a while before turning back to the dragon.
"Hop on my back."
Theo and Ava jumped to his back as the dragon started flapping his wings. With a little boost from the jump, the dragon soared to the sky.
Agata watched them until their figure couldn't be seen anymore.
Theo also did the sa before he heard the dragon talk.
"I'm going to speed up a bit. I believe we can reach there within seven days."
"Thank you for your help." Theo nodded with a serious expression. "However, I believe you have sothing you want to ask from ."
"Not from you, from the little girl on your lap." The dragon replied with an unexpected response.
"Huh?" Theo's expression darkened. "I know that she's going to condense the sa Lightning Order as yours… Even though I'm grateful for your help, if you wish to harm her, I won't hesitate to attack you."
"You misunderstand . Back then, I said that I have lived for too long."
"Mhm?" Theo was confused by this statent. But when he looked at Ava and recalled what happened in the dwarf's ho, he realized what he wanted to stay. "You're not going to…"
"This is an opportunity for her. Little girl, do you wish to be my student?"
"Eh?" Ava tilted her head in confusion, not understanding where this topic ca from. "What do you an? For people with the sa Orders, the other party's existence is like a pest."
"I don't know when I'm going to die, but I believe I don't have much ti left. I want you to be my student and succeed ." The dragon explained with a bit more detail for Ava.
"What?!" Ava's body trembled as she couldn't contain her shock. "Why do you want to be your student? That guy from before was much better than !"
"I am Lightning, and he is Thunder. We are different. I can give you a few reasons why I want to have you as my student, but the most important reason is him."
"Theo?" Ava didn't understand why he ntioned Theo.
"Haha, it's not the ti for you to know it yet. But if you agree to be my student, you'll know everything."
"Does that an I'm going to be separated from Theo?" Ava frowned.
"Yes. Or else, how am I going to teach you?"
Ava bit her lips and raised her voice. "You have separated Theo from Agata. And now you're going to separate from Theo! Do you think I will accept it? Why are you so cruel to Theo?"
"I'm not cruel." The dragon smirked. "Just imagine. When you reach your destination, people will recognize you. No matter how hard you hide it, they will know it sooner or later.
"I believe that he has so sort of power to camouflage his appearance… However, you don't have that kind of ability. As a result, his identity will be exposed sooner or later… because of you. The sa applies to the lass who is left behind.
"Do you think I don't know the fact you're going to hide your identity in your destination? If you continue to accompany him, you're going to be his burden sooner or later.
"So, I want you to be my student. Not only can I get a successor, but you can also get stronger and acquire the ability to help him more in the future. Don't forget! He already has his Order while you haven't!"
Ava's body shuddered as she glared at the dragon. As much as she hated it, she couldn't find a single word to refute him.
The dragon was correct. Although not many people knew her, the Griffith Family should find their identity sooner or later. She would beco a big clue in finding Theo.
The dragon could predict what would happen in the future, and his action was related to what Theo planned to do. Though, he couldn't deny the fact how he presented it was bad.
"But… Theo will be alone." Ava looked down before turning to Theo with a sad expression.
Theo had a gist of it when the dragon gave the requirent to him. So, he had prepared for this.
He said with a sad expression. "You should choose Ava. There's no need to think about . I'll be alone for a bit… just like my old self. Nothing changes."
"But that's sad!" Ava shook her head, unwilling to be separated as well.
"Unlike the past, I have enough confidence to get more people around now." Theo shook his head. "Besides, Maya might be there to help …"
Seeing how hard Theo tried to comfort her, she gritted her teeth for a mont before shouting, "Fine. But I have one condition!"
