Chapter 529: Die in peace

The word "Dad" caught Ethan off guard.

It was not until then that he understood what Lucario meant by "more tolerance".

It turned out that Leon also had an indelible shadow when he was a child. His usual rationality and indifference were just a cover for his inner powerlessness.

Leon's current situation is probably that he is trapped in a scene from his childhood! In professional terms, it is split personality.

Thinking of this, Ethan smiled and bent down, then stretched out a hand and said kindly: "Let's go, Dad will take you away from here!"

After Leon carefully looked at Ethan for a while, his face suddenly changed.

"You are not Dad, I won't leave, I will wait for Dad here, Dad will definitely come to pick me up!"

After that, Leon continued to curl up in the corner, shivering, staring at the entrance.

Seeing this scene, Ethan's mouth twitched, and he wanted to laugh a little, but he couldn't laugh.

He stood up, looking around, thinking about how to convince Leon.

Inadvertently, he found that there seemed to be something on the ground here.

So he used his foot to push away the dust on the ground, and suddenly a line that flickered on and off appeared on the ground.

Ethan couldn't help but frowned when he saw it, because the glowing line made him feel uncomfortable.

So he pushed away the dust in a small area, and after some time, he finally saw the full picture of the line, which turned out to be an alchemy array.

Although this alchemy array did not look dangerous, it made people feel very strange.

Generally, alchemy arrays are very symmetrical, but this alchemy array is an asymmetrical pattern, more like a painting.

In the painting, there is a red snake, which is constantly swimming in circles. Opposite it is a much smaller black snake, which also swims in circles. It looks a bit like the Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram in the previous life.

There is a strange four-pronged rune on the red fish's eyeball, which flickers like thunder and lightning on a rainy night.

Ethan guessed that this alchemy array might be the exit of the memory space. After confirming that there was no danger, he ignored it.

Turning his head to look at Leon, he said in a low voice: "Leon, your father asked me to pick you up, come with me now!"

When Leon heard this, he immediately opened his curious eyes like a child: "Why doesn't he come by himself?"

"Uh..." Ethan was speechless for a moment, and made up a lie: "Your father can't swim and can't come in, so he asked me to pick you up. He is now waiting for you outside anxiously!"

"Really!" Leon's eyes lit up, but he immediately showed doubt: "You didn't lie to me? Dad is really waiting for me outside?"

"Of course it's true!" Ethan has always maintained a gentle and confident tone. He has never been so patient with his own son.

"You will know if you go out with me. Your father is so anxious that he can't see you.

If you don't go out, he will jump in.

You know, he can't swim. If something happens, you will never see him again!"

Hearing this, Leon showed a trace of panic, but still didn't want to get up.

Ethan didn't urge him, but smiled and stretched out his hand to him again, patiently waiting for his choice.

After a long wait, Leon finally seemed to have made up his mind and carefully extended his hand.

Ethan slowly pulled Leon up. Although he kept smiling, he was worried in his heart.

Worried that Leon would find that his father was not there after he went out. What should he do then?

I just hope that after he goes out, Leon can recover on his own!

"Let's go!" It was Leon who spoke. He seemed to have completely trusted Ethan. Seeing Ethan in a daze, he was eager to pull Ethan away.

Ethan smiled bitterly and shook his head, and followed him.

At this moment, the four-pronged rune of the alchemy formation suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

Immediately afterwards, an illusory figure composed purely of lines suddenly floated above the rune.

"Please wait a moment!"

Seeing this scene, Ethan and Leon both stopped.

Ethan frowned and looked at the person who suddenly appeared, and the uncomfortable feeling before came again.

"Who are you?"

The line man smiled and said, "Please don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions, and I know you have no ill intentions.

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ross Stein!"

When Ethan heard the name Ross Stein, his pupils shrank instantly.

"Ross Stein? How is that possible? Lord Ross died more than a hundred years ago!"

"Haha!" The man who claimed to be Ross Stein laughed: "It's just a little trick! This is the origin of our family and the last line of defense of the family.

When I took over the family, the family had reached its peak. At that time, I realized the truth of prosperity and decline, so I left some tricks here.

But I never expected that only a hundred years later, the family bloodline escaped here.

It means that the family has suffered a catastrophe.

Sir, may I ask what happened?

Oh! I forgot to ask your name first!"

"Ethan!" Ethan gave his name, and then continued: "Your family was attacked, but it was handled in time and nothing happened. I am going to take Leon back now.

But can I ask you a question?"

"Please go ahead!"

"Why... did you call us?" Although Ethan used the honorific "you", the sound was dragged out for a long time, and there was actually not much respect in his tone.

Rose smiled and said, "I feel bad intentions from your tone. Why is that?

You obviously didn't hurt the guardian snake before you came in, which proves that you have no ill intentions.

In fact, it's fortunate that you have no ill intentions, otherwise if you kill the snake, you will enter another space and be trapped there forever.

And that snake is the backup I left behind.

Since you came here and saw me, why are you so hostile to me?"

Ethan saw that the other party didn't answer the question directly, and his eyes immediately turned cold: "Answer my question, why stop me from taking Leon away!"

Rose saw that Ethan suddenly got angry, and laughed up: "Young man, don't be nervous! I just have a reward for you!"

"He's lying!" Catherine's voice sounded in his ears.

Hearing this, Ethan suddenly jumped up, disappeared in a flash, and when he reappeared, he had already drawn his sword and stabbed the strange rune.

With a "bang", the rune immediately cracked.

"No..." The line man saw Ethan destroy the rune and wailed in pain.

"Asshole, how did you find out?"

"Is it important?"

"Asshole, Leon is the blood of my family, I can do whatever I want, why do you, an outsider, interfere!"

Ethan felt uncomfortable since he saw this person, and now he heard what he said, which confirmed his guess.

If I guessed correctly, the reason why Leon became what he is now is that someone awakened his childhood memories.

And the purpose of doing this is probably to take away Leon's body.

Ethan twisted the sword hard, completely shattered the rune, and the line man began to slowly disappear.

"Asshole, asshole..."

"Since you are dead, go with peace of mind! You can leave a legacy, you can also leave an unyielding will, but don't try to resurrect in someone else's body, even if that person is your descendant... No!"
