Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 151 Volcano Eruption
Lyon is eyeing the entire Watch Harbor and doesn't care that much about the gold coins, as they will all be his sooner or later anyway.

He did not ask Watch Harbor to pay money now, but just strongly demanded that Watch Harbor must announce his existence. He is the patron saint of Watch Harbor, and praise is allowed, but slander is prohibited.

The Red Dragon's reputation is so bad, it's simply notorious. If he suddenly announces his rule over Watchport, the residents of Watchport will definitely flee. Nine out of ten will not want to stay even if they flee to the forest. Apart from that, there will be no caravans or merchant ships traveling to and from Watchport.

But if he appeared in the public eye as the protector of Watchport, and protected Watchport safely for a few months, half a year, or a year, until everyone got used to him and knew that red dragons also had reasons, and then he found an opportunity to take away the ruling power of Watchport naturally, I am afraid everyone would not have any reaction or worry.

"I'm leaving. See you in three days. I hope you'll be ready by then. Be it money or a dragon slayer." Leon didn't stay in the conference room for too long. He left after saying a few words.

After coming here for so many days, staying on the volcanic island every day, and just "eliminated" a wave of adventurers, and even turned the tables, no one will break into the volcanic island to interfere with the fire giant awakening the volcano for the time being. Leon is ready to have a good time in Watch Harbor for a few days.

He already had money, and he could expect to receive a large sum of money in the future, so he was not afraid to spend it.

As soon as Lyon left, a quarrel broke out in the conference room.

"Ms. Fiora, I want to ask what is going on? Why did you bring such a terrible monster in front of us?" The mayor was timid in front of Leon because he knew that Leon would not be polite to him and would really kill people, but Fiora would not.

"We lost. We were no match for him," Fiora said. "We couldn't last even one round."

"That doesn't mean you can bring him to us," said the mayor.

"If I don't bring him here, won't he come here on his own? I don't want to bring him here either, but he threatened to destroy the entire Watch Harbor." Fiora crossed her arms and glared at the mayor. She was not someone who could be bullied by anyone. The red dragon could bully her because it was very strong and almost knocked her over in one encounter.

When the mayor heard Fiora's answer, he shrank his neck and was speechless.

For a destination as big as Watchtower, it makes no difference whether there is someone to lead the way or not.

"What should we do now?" The mayor looked around, "Should we really give him money?"

"Perhaps we can recruit adventurers from other places." The captain of security tentatively said, "From the Talia Alliance, from Miren, Rafi or Sheila, and using the relationship of the Golden Coast Chamber of Commerce, we will definitely be able to find adventurers who can deal with the red dragon."

"You said it very well. I'll leave this matter to you." The mayor patted the captain's shoulder affectionately. "As our captain, I know you are the most capable."

"I can't." The security captain quickly waved his hand to refuse. He didn't want to get involved in such a difficult matter.

"It's not enough to just raise the problem without solving it," the mayor said. "How much funding do you need?"

"Ten thousand gold coins." The security captain said, just speaking without thinking.

"It would be better to give money to the red dragon." The mayor muttered after hearing this. "He only needs 5,000 gold coins as compensation, and 1,000 gold coins per month as protection fee to protect us from being threatened by other monsters. It feels quite worth it."

"I'm afraid that the red dragon will be so quiet now, but suddenly make a big move." The consultant was quite capable and could see the hidden danger behind the matter at a glance.

"We'll talk when the lion opens his mouth."

"Unless you have a good way to deal with that red dragon now, let's do it that way."

Everyone has their own considerations. The mayor's consideration is that his home is in Mirren, not in Watch Harbor. He should send someone back to Mirren to smooth things over and transfer the person back. By that time the red dragon goes berserk and there are huge waves in Watch Harbor, it will have nothing to do with him. It would be better for me to let my friend die than for him to let him die.

On this side, Leon ordered a whole roasted lamb and didn't finish it when he met Fiora.

"What did they say?" Lyon generously tore off a leg of lamb and handed it to the female knight.

"I won't eat your food." Fiora refused with a straight face. She was much more principled than a certain brass dragon. If it weren't for the red dragon's threats and promises, she would never appear here and associate with evil. "They agreed to your request."

"If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. I don't want to give it to you." Leon took back the lamb leg. "Compared to other red dragons, am I not very kind? For such a big city, five thousand gold coins can save it from destruction, which is very cheap. And one thousand gold coins a month can get the protection of a powerful red dragon like me, isn't it worth it?"

"Don't worry, you're doing the right thing." Leon laughed.

Fiora was unmoved and said, "What is your conspiracy?"

"Don't worry about my conspiracy," Leon said. "Just work for me. For at most ten years... I won't let you do anything bad."

Women have two hobbies: talking about money with the poor and talking about feelings with the rich. Men have two hobbies: getting decent women into prostitution and persuading prostitutes to change their ways. Leon persuaded Tassela and Cecilia that a blue dragon and a green dragon could be a little kinder and not be so bad. On the contrary, he was very happy to see the righteous bronze dragon fall into evil. Leon believed that ten years was enough to "corrupt" the bronze dragon. After all, he was not a chaotic evil red dragon, or someone who could replace the bronze dragon.

Fiora left quickly, thinking that she kept her promise, but if it really didn't work, she would just break it. His Majesty Bahamut would never say anything, and she would not become an accomplice of evil anyway. But the red dragon talked a lot, so she decided to see how he performed.

Lyon stayed in Watch Harbor for three days, enjoying delicious food and drinks and feeling very satisfied. After receiving the compensation from Watch Harbor, he left and returned to the volcanic island to inspect the work.

The fire giants' work progressed well, and about a week later a noticeable earthquake occurred on the volcanic island.

Then, it was a bright afternoon. The crater began to emit a low roar at noon, and the entire volcanic island trembled slightly. Finally, with the fire giant raising his hands, the trembling continued to intensify, and a stream of hot lava spewed out...

Amid the huge explosion, lava and rock fragments were thrown high into the sky, and volcanic ash formed a dark cloud in the air, which spread in all directions with the wind, covering the surrounding land and sky.

Lava gushed out of the crater and flowed slowly along the hillside like a fiery stream, swallowing up all life and vegetation in its path.

It looks impressive at first glance, but it’s actually just that.

The brilliant fireworks lasted only a dozen seconds, even though the prelude took half a month.

“That’s it?” Leon felt unsatisfied, as if it ended just as it began.

"Yes, that's it." The fire giant said, "I am just an ordinary fire giant, not a giant noble. It's good enough that I can awaken the volcano."

Suddenly the volcano began to tremble again.

"Is it going to erupt again?" Leon asked excitedly.

"The volcanic eruption should have ended." The fire giant frowned slightly, and his expression suddenly became solemn, "Something is about to come out."

There was a surprise!
Leon liked to watch the fun, so he climbed up to the crater and looked into the boiling crater. He saw the bubbling lava. With a "pop" sound, a huge amphibian's head suddenly popped out of the lava.

Leon didn't know what the giant salamander-like monster that crawled out of the lava was. It seemed to have some connection with the Molten Salamanders. Perhaps it was the sacred beast worshipped by the Molten Salamanders, but the latter's belief was clearly Imish.

"The magma axolotl...sleeps in the molten ground for millennia, occasionally waking up to devour huge amounts of food." The fire giant flew over the crater. "No matter if it is an invader or a volcanic eruption, once it is disturbed and awakened, it will go berserk and devour everything until its stomach is completely filled before returning to calm."

"The destructive power of the magma axolotl will cause lava to spontaneously form in large quantities around it." The efreet said, "Perhaps we can keep it."

"I can try to talk to it." The fire giant looked at Leon, "If you are willing to restore your dragon form, the chances of success will be much higher."

Judging from the fire giant's tone, he turned out to be a little punk.

"It has intelligence and can speak?" Leon raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." The fire giant said, "It is much smarter than the lava land shark, and is about the same as those fire molten salamanders. It can speak Ignan. If nothing unexpected happens."

"Maybe I should find a chance to learn the Fire Tribe language." Leon stretched his neck and restored his dragon form. He looked at the angry lava axolotl and said, "Maybe it's better to kill it, because we already have a lava land shark, which is well trained."

The magma axolotl discovered the red dragon and seemed to sense the murderous intent. It had intelligence and felt fear, so it immediately calmed down from its rage and made strange noises.

"It's scared." The fire giant laughed. "Humans like to have both cats and dogs. I think adults can do the same. We already have a lava land shark, so it wouldn't be a big deal to have another lava axolotl."

"You've convinced me," Leon said. "Go ahead and tame it."

With Leon as the finale, the Fire Giant itself is not inferior to the magma axolotl, and it is easy to convince the big guy - it can continue to sleep in the volcano, but if the enemy appears, it is obliged to help. Although the probability of this is small, it is not zero.

The dormant volcano was awakened, and the awakened magma axolotl was easily dealt with. There was nothing to worry about on the volcanic island for the time being.

Leon decided to go back to the lava lake, bring the salamander and lava land shark over, and move all his belongings over. Cecilia is a qualified helper, and it would be useless without her. In the end, Tassela could still give some advice.
