Chapter 785: Chapter 252: An Idiot Claims I’m Unbeatable in the Same Tier_2
Vera Williams looked thoughtful all of a sudden, her eyebrows and eyelashes batting playfully as she suggested, “Leonard, shall we take a photo together?”
When Leonard heard this, his gaze sharpened slightly.
A problem suddenly occurred to him.
If he left behind a photograph, then Vera should be able to find him more easily a hundred years later.
Why… hadn’t he thought of this before?
Could it be that he hadn’t taken one?
Vera saw that he didn’t speak and thought he wasn’t interested, her expression dimming.
But just as she was about to suggest leaving, Leonard suddenly said, “Okay!”
He wanted to try and see why photographs couldn’t be left behind.
“Yes, yes, yes!!”
Upon hearing this, Vera happily hooked her arm with his, and the two of them walked over.
The photographer and the couple being photographed also recognized the Elder Miss of the Song Family.
After sending their blessings, they stood in front of the camera.
The background was the pointed top of a white chapel, with large swaths of blooming roses on the wall, Leonard stood beside as a gentleman, and the girl in the camera had a radiant smile.
Vera felt like she had seen this scene in a dream before.
It was as if the dream had seeped into reality, and for a moment, she felt like she was enveloped in a fairytale-like romantic atmosphere.
But why couldn’t she see the face clearly in the dream?
Looking at Leonard, whom she was arm in arm with, Vera dismissed the fleeting doubts in her head and smiled, revealing two neat rows of white teeth.
“Click!”
…
After taking the photo, they would have to wait several days before they could get it.
So they strolled around the manor.
Without the life-and-death urgency of before, the topics they chatted about were also very relaxed.
However, Leonard’s mind was still pondering over the issue of the photograph.
Based on what had already happened, his name and appearance should have been left behind.
So why hadn’t Great Detective Robin used these clues to find him back then?
He had a faint feeling that this might have something to do with the Time Rule.
Vera noticed Leonard was distracted again and suddenly remembered the question her mother had asked before, “By the way, Leonard, I haven’t asked you where you come from?”
“…”
Leonard heard this just as he met her expectant gaze.
He thought that since they were now familiar enough, he should be able to share his time-traveling story.
However, no sooner had this thought occurred to him than a possibility suddenly struck him: No, it’s the Power of Time Law on the “stamp”! I don’t belong to this era, so my existence will be forgotten by time! It’s because of the Time Rule that she has forgotten me!
Leonard couldn’t describe the feeling he had at that moment, similar to trying to grasp at sand, but he was very clear that he couldn’t speak the secret of time.
He was certain he couldn’t say the words “I come from one hundred years in the future”!
It was as if the moment he spoke, he would immediately vanish from this era that he never belonged to.
Seeing his strange expression, Vera asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”
Leonard shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then said, “I come from… a very faraway place.”
Vera thought he was joking with her, her bright eyes twinkling, and she playfully retorted, “How far? Let me guess… the far eastern Hyjal County of the Federation? The southern Green Mountain Area? Or perhaps the northern Blood Moss Wilderness?”
She mentioned several of the most remote areas within the Federation.
“I…”
Leonard felt as if something was stuck in his throat, and some words simply couldn’t be said.
He remained silent for a few moments before finally managing to say, “It’s so far that I can only come here once in my lifetime. Even if I wanted to, I can’t come again.”
“Ah…?”
At his words, Vera’s clear large eyes glistened, and as she looked at Leonard’s serious face, she vaguely grasped something.
Leonard added, “I was sent here by a ‘stamp’.”
Although it was just a few words, saying them seemed to require too much effort from him, and he breathed out a weary sigh of relief.
When Vera heard about the stamp, she immediately remembered their first encounter, not yet realizing the significance, she blinked, “So, you’re… conjured by magic? Like the genie in the lamp from the fairy tales?”
This thought struck her; wasn’t that the case?
She had made a wish in her letters, and every time she received a reply.
And then the last letter said she wanted to meet him, and he appeared before her all at once.
It really was miraculous.
Vera had initially asked the question as a playful joke.
But Leonard took it seriously and nodded his head, “Yes.”
Seeing Leonard’s expression, Vera began to realize something, and the smile on her pretty face gradually faded.
Her tone suddenly turned melancholic as if holding a delicate glass cup that could easily break, she spoke tentatively, “Mr. Leonard Churchill… so… will you leave suddenly like when you came?”
With a calm tone, Leonard uttered a single word, “Yes.”
He didn’t want to disappoint his friend, but he couldn’t give her too much meaningless hope.
Even though he knew she would definitely wait for him for a hundred years.
Vera’s expression suddenly turned somber, “Oh.”
So, he was going to leave.
No wonder… she had always felt that he seemed preoccupied.
So, that was the reason.
Vera looked at him and asked, filled with hope, “Can’t you stay?”
For Leonard, this era was too dull compared to the era a hundred years later when the Old Continent was discovered.
The only reason he found it interesting to stay was because of Vera.
But it wasn’t up to him.
Leonard spoke frankly, “I can’t stay.”
“Oh.”
Vera was very smart and immediately guessed what he meant.
She felt like she ought to be very sad, considering she had thought she had made a very good, very close friend.
