Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 144: Fire-Melting Salamander
Because it took the Fire Giant nearly a year to transform the steam lake into a lava lake, it shouldn't be easier to activate and awaken a dormant volcano than the former. Leon originally thought it would take a year or two, but he didn't expect it would only take a few days or a month, and he was overjoyed for a while.

It's no wonder that he doesn't know. His body did not inherit any practical knowledge from his parents. He only has a soul from another world. That soul is a science student and has not learned geography very well... God knows why geography belongs to the liberal arts.

How do you know the source of the steam lake? What are geothermal and hot springs? Dormant volcanoes just don't erupt. The lava chamber is no longer active, but it still maintains a certain temperature and pressure. It can erupt as long as there is an opportunity.

"What else?" Leon asked, "Besides wasting time, do you need any other magical materials?"

The components of a spell are the material conditions that must be met when casting the spell. They may be words, gestures, or materials. Only when all the component requirements of a spell are met can the corresponding spell be cast.

Words and gestures are easy to deal with, but the high-level spells that require hundreds of gold coins worth of refined gold and thousands of gold coins worth of diamonds are the most troublesome.

"Others may need it, but I don't, because I am the Lord of Flame." The fire giant said proudly, "Your Excellency only needs to protect me when I preside over the ceremony."

"When a dormant volcano is awakened, there will definitely be a lot of noise." The fire giant continued, "I am not worried about the ordinary adventurers. I am worried about the high-level adventurers, bronze dragons, or water giants."

There is a great terror between life and death. Leon is also afraid of death. He completely understands the fire giant and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, no one can hurt you. Unless a mature bronze dragon comes... Even a mature bronze dragon will not work. It must be at least an old bronze dragon. Otherwise, they will not be my opponent at all."

As he entered his teenage years, Lyon's confidence soared. He still didn't dare to force his way into the Empire, but there was nothing to be afraid of overseas.

"I believe you can protect me." The fire giant raised his lips slightly, "But I can't let you guard me all the time."

"What do you want to do?" Leon asked.

"When I flew over just now, I found some very interesting creatures living here, things that don't exist in the desert. Maybe we can capture them and make them slaves." The fire giant smiled particularly happily. "Have you ever seen a molten newt?"

"No." Lyon shook his head.

Leon had indeed never seen a molten salamander, but he knew that a molten salamander could also be called a fire molten salamander. It was easier to understand the name of a fire molten salamander. It was a humanoid amphibian that liked to live in a warm and humid environment. Once it was away from the source of heat and humidity for too long, its mind and body would become exhausted, and it would enter hibernation due to long-term lack of heat.

"Then let me take you to see it now." The fire giant was eager to try.

"Ok."

The dragon form is very destructive and can be used to travel, but it is still inconvenient for daily activities. It is uncomfortable to land without a wide enough place. Leon turned into a human form... to be more precise, a dragon-man form, otherwise it would be too inconvenient to not be able to fly without wings. Anyway, you don't have to worry about attracting attention in the wilderness.

The fire giant led the way, and Leon followed closely behind, landing next to a small pond somewhere on the volcanic island.

"From now on, you are my slaves." The fire giant put his hands on his hips and laughed, not caring at all about the confused, shocked, angry and ignorant faces of the fire-melt people.

Confusion, shock, and ignorance aside, no matter how angry they were, it did not prevent the fire-melt people from seeing that the efreet was as tall as a tree, and thinking that the big scimitar could kill a fire-melt people with one blow, they had no idea and dared not say anything.

After a long while, a Lava Knight riding a Strider stood up and shouted at the Fire Giant in a timid manner: "Monster, you want to enslave us? Don't even think about it!"

"Then you go to hell." The Fire Giant was not polite and casually slashed at the Fire Giant, but the Fire Giant Knight dodged it. His temper immediately surged. The little Fire Giant did not stand still and let him chop off his head, but dared to resist. He really didn't know how high the sky was.

"What language are you speaking? I can't understand it. And what did you say to each other? Why did the fight start all of a sudden?" Leon looked confused. He didn't master the common language and couldn't understand what the fire giant and those fire-melt people were saying.

Leon spoke, and the fire giant didn't have time to lose his temper and explained: "We are speaking the language of the Fire Tribe, and you may not understand... I just asked them to surrender and become my slaves, but that Lava Knight dared to resist me."

"I will ask them to find someone who can speak the Common Language now." The Fire Giant said, turning to look at the Fire Molten Salamanders, "Now bring out your village chief, priest, elder... I don't care who they are, just get someone who can speak the Common Language."

In fact, the commotion here had already alerted other places. A fire-melt salamander holding a mace came out from behind the bushes and said, "I can speak the common language."

"An Immish warlock?" The fire giant came from the plane of fire element, and he knew basically everything related to the knowledge of fire element. He saw through the identity of the fire melter at a glance, "What you said should be effective." The society and culture of the fire melter are based on the worship of the evil fire element prince Immish. Immish warlocks have a lofty status in the fire melter society.

"Do you know who I am?" the fire giant snorted.

The Molten Salamander Warlock had some knowledge and said respectfully, "A powerful fire giant."

"Then do you know that I can easily kill you and your people?" The fire giant raised his scimitar and slammed it heavily on the ground, threatening fiercely.

"I know." The Molten Salamander Warlock looked up at the Fire Giants. He naturally knew how powerful the Fire Giants were, especially those who boldly broke into the material plane to plunder.

"Now I want you to be my slaves... No, not my slaves, but this lord's slaves." The fire giant gestured to Leon, "Do you agree? Either agree or die, you can only choose one of the two options."

The Molten Salamander Warlock looked at Leon. It was just a low-level spellcaster, so it naturally couldn't tell Leon's true identity. It was just shocked that a human's status was higher than that of the Fire Giant.

"Don't be so nervous. As the Fire Giant, I don't need you to be my slaves." Leon spoke.

Unlike the Fire Giant, Leon despised slavery. He believed that slaves would only work under the supervision of supervisors, had no labor efficiency at all, and could easily lead to unrest and conflict... He couldn't explain it clearly, but he only knew that slavery was an eliminated system.

In fact, the Lava Lake currently uses a slave system. After all, it has always been managed by the Fire Giant. Isn't it because he had no interest in developing power at that time? Whatever is fine.

Now that they have decided to develop their power and run their business well, Lyon will naturally no longer allow slavery... Slavery must be eradicated from the beginning, otherwise it will be troublesome to reform it later. Capitalism and socialism are too far away, a centralized feudalism is still possible.

The Molten Pact warlock peeks at the efreet.

The fire giant didn't understand why Leon refused slavery. Perhaps it was because he had been with the blue dragon Tassera for too long and was influenced by the blue dragon. After all, he was just a servant, so he was too lazy to give any advice. He just let the red dragon do whatever it wanted and naturally didn't say anything.

"If the Master does not need us as slaves..." the Oligod Warlock said, "What does the Master want us to do?"

"Subjects, citizens." Leon said, "Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes." The Molten Newt Warlock swallowed and said, "If we become your subjects, can we still believe in God?"

"I'm very open-minded, so there's no problem. As long as you obey the law, pay taxes on time, and do your military service, you can believe whatever you want and whoever you want." This is a world that truly has gods. Leon doesn't have the courage to challenge the gods. At most, he can play some tricks, such as not allowing people with religious beliefs to be officials in his country.

Leon laughed to himself as he spoke. He had nothing right now, yet he was thinking so far ahead. Besides, with his personality, he might get tired of being a king or an emperor someday.

"In that case..." The Molten Salamander Warlock lowered his head, "We are willing to serve you faithfully."

"I accept your loyalty." Leon said without hesitation, "Now tell me all the information about this island, and then help me prepare a place to live. Send out sentinels to keep an eye on the surroundings and notify me at any time if there is any situation. And also help me prepare food, lots and lots of food..."

When he lived in the lava lake before, Leon went out to find food by himself most of the time. Because food was scarce in the desert, it was too much to ask the flightless salamanders to travel long distances to find food for him. Now there is food everywhere on the beach and in the sea, so he doesn't want to go through so much trouble.

"That's it." Leon said, waved his hand, gestured to the fire giant, and then returned to the top of the mountain together.

While the fire giant was busy awakening the dormant volcano, Leon sat nearby, watching the scenery and reading a book. He wondered whether he should revert to dragon form and show off his muscles. But after thinking it over, he decided not to do it, otherwise he would scare away all the residents of Watch Harbor.

I have to say that the fire giant acted really quickly. The dormant volcano began to smoke the next day.

Leon believed what he said. It would only take a few days or a month to awaken the volcano. At the same time, he also believed that Watchport would definitely take some action. It was impossible for them to watch the dormant volcano suddenly become active and do nothing.
