Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 159: Trouble
Lyon really didn't expect that a useless dressing and undressing skill could play a huge role if used properly.

He began to believe in the old saying: there are no weak professions, only weak players.

Leon originally wanted to fly directly back to the volcanic island, find the fire giant and arrange for someone to help him make a set of equipment.

The main focus is on attack, and he must look handsome. Defense is the last thing to consider, or even no need to consider it, because he already has an indestructible body.

After being reminded by Tassela, he noticed that his stomach was empty and he had to hold it in.

"Where's Cecilia?" As Leon left the room and walked through the corridor, he thought of a certain green dragon.

"She probably left alone and went back to the forest... She has just arrived and needs to build a nest and recruit subordinates. There are countless things waiting to be dealt with." Tassela said, "She is not a naive child, but a cunning green dragon. We don't need to worry about her safety."

"I'm not worried about her safety, I'm just curious." Leon replied.

Everything can be casual except eating and drinking. No matter how much money is spent, after a good meal, Leon carried Tassera to the volcanic island... He has no psychological pressure to carry Tassera now. It is harmless to let her ride during the day, and then ride back at night.

The volcanic island originally had only one dormant volcano, where some fire giants lived, and it was lush and green. As the fire giants awakened the volcano, hot lava flowed out of the crater and burned a lot of trees. Now it looks a bit like a Mediterranean hairstyle.

Salamanders especially like ignited flames, like to slide on erupting volcanoes, and like to play in the charred woods surrounded by forest fires. Lava land sharks will even melt the solidified ground to form a magma pool... Leon felt that he must remind the fire giant to pay attention to management. At least the trees around the seaside villa where he will live in the future are not allowed to burn.

Leon thought about it and realized that the entire volcanic island was not small, with a diameter of several kilometers. Otherwise, it would not be enough for a tribe of fire salamanders to live in. Now that he occupied a quarter of the area, the remaining space should be enough for salamanders and lava land sharks to live in. Anyway, all they need is fire.

When he found the fire giant, he was directing the work of the fire giants who were undergoing labor reform.

Leon told the fire giant about his needs, and immediately a fire giant was brought to him.

The fire giant is the slave owner and the supervisor, while the fire giant is the craftsman and the real owner.

Leon looked at the haggard fire giant with whip marks all over his body, who looked like he had been tortured a lot. He comforted him with a few words, explained his request in detail, and said: "As long as you help me build a set of equipment according to my requirements, I can let you go immediately."

The fire giant looked up at Leon and said nothing.

"There's no other way, so why not take a gamble? I'm a red dragon who keeps my promises... I promised that I wouldn't hurt you as long as you put down your weapons, and I haven't broken my promise so far." Leon said, "As long as you promise to help me, I can give you enough food and plenty of rest. Otherwise, you won't be able to work."

"My Lord, why are you talking so much nonsense to him?" The fire giant held a scimitar in one hand and a whip in the other. "A slave like him only knows the whip."

Leon and the fire giant played the good guy and the bad guy respectively, and the fire giant soon surrendered.

Then Lyon fully realized his naivety and that it was not so easy for him to get a set of equipment.

If you want the Fire Giant to make equipment, you need to prepare a workshop for him.

First, to smelt the ore into metal ingots, a furnace is needed, and maybe a blast furnace... The blast furnace can be replaced by the Fire Giant, since he is the lord of flame.

In addition, anvils, hammers, tongs, shaping tools, forges, quenching tanks, cooling pools, etc. are indispensable, and they must be large tools for giants to use.

Leon looked at Tassela.

"What are you looking at me for?" Tassela shrugged. "I can't do anything about it."

"Robbery, sir, you can go to the Lost Plateau to rob." The fire giants are plane plunderers who love to rob. "Isn't the Lost Plateau home to a lot of fire giants?"

“It’s not a small amount,” Lyon said. “It’s not a huge amount.”

"And grab some adamantium and mithril." The fire giant laughed cruelly, "At least adamantium and mithril equipment is worthy of the status of an adult."

“It would be best if we have fine gold and mithril, but ordinary equipment is not a big problem either.” Leon waved his tail tip unconsciously, “You guys go ahead and do your work, I’ll think of a solution.”

"There is one more thing I want to tell you, sir." The fire giant was about to leave, but suddenly stopped. "As elemental creatures, we only need fire and lava, but those slaves need food. They need meat and bread..."

"I understand. I'll find a way." Before one thing is done, another one pops up. Leon feels a headache coming on. It feels like he's back to the time when he was a corporate slave, when things would never be finished and would come one after another.

Of course, he is no longer a corporate slave, but a leader. Leon quickly thought of a solution. At least the problem of slave food can be solved by Cecilia and the fire giant... The volcanic island is too small to provide so much food, but the output of the forest is enough.

Tassera watched the fire giant leave, turned to look at Leon and asked, "Are you going to rob the fire giant?" "That's one way." By now, Leon has learned to be bad.

"Be careful not to run into a furnace maker," Tassela said. "Just don't run into those guys."

A fire giant who has mastered the traditional magic of runes, the Furnacemaker harnesses the heat of a volcanic environment and can call forth the raw elemental energies of flame and molten lava.

In the fire giant community, the forge maker usually serves as a priest of Surt, the main god of the fire giants, overseeing the casting and defense work, and is even stronger than an adult red dragon.

"There aren't so many Furnace Builders. I'm not afraid even if I meet one." Leon was just being stubborn. He was indeed not afraid of the Furnace Builders, but the Furnace Builders were paired with a group of Fire Giants, among which the Fire Giant Fearless were not weak either. If he didn't want to seek death, he had to stay away from them.

"Anvils, hammers, and tongs are easy to get, but furnaces are a bit troublesome... I can ask the fire lizards to build a furnace, which doesn't seem to be a big deal." Leon said, "I actually have another idea, which is to place an order directly and let those fire giants help me make equipment."

"I'm afraid those fire giants won't be happy about this," Tassera said. "It would be better if red dragons and fire giants don't fight when they meet. And I know you've saved a lot of money over the years, but fire giants don't like gold and silver coins. They prefer adamantium and mithril, and those are exactly what you need."

"I know a cloud giant. He definitely doesn't mind being a middleman, and he likes gold and silver coins." Leon still remembers a certain cloud giant who was particularly smart.

In any case, getting a set of equipment that can be worn in dragon form is not something that can be solved in a short time. It will take some effort. Leon's originally high spirits were beaten by the cruel reality.

As the discussion came to a conclusion, Cecilia ran over again. She first glanced at Tassela's radiant face, then asked Leon for credit, telling him how many subordinates she had subdued, a group of kobolds, and a group of ogres. Finally, she complained, "I'll listen to my master and start a newspaper in Watch Harbor..."

If there was a newspaper in Watch Harbor, everything would be easy, but unfortunately there isn't one.

In such a situation of being penniless, it is not easy to start a newspaper on a whim.

Let’s not talk about the workers for now. They can be trained, but printing equipment, paper and ink are indispensable.

"Since the newspaper office cannot be opened for the time being, you can just find someone to spread the word that Watch Harbor is protected by a red dragon. The red dragon is the patron saint of Watch Harbor... I believe you know how to spread the word." Leon thought for a moment and said, "You can talk to the mayor of Watch Harbor. He is a man who knows the current situation very well."

As soon as Cecilia left, Fiora came over again.

"Miss Fiora, what's the matter with you?" Leon already knew the reason why Tassera suddenly launched a night attack. To some extent, he wanted to thank her.

"Aren't you known as the protector of Watch Harbor?" Fiora said, "You must have received protection money. If you received protection money, you must protect Watch Harbor."

"Hmm?" Leon said, "Is there any danger in Watch Harbor? I can help with pirate attacks, but I can't help with underwater monsters."

"Someone saw a green dragon appear outside Watch Harbor," Fiora said.

Tassela covered her mouth and laughed.

Leon's expression twisted for a moment, and then he took Fiora to meet Cecilia, and by the way, to meet the fire giant, so as to avoid any misunderstandings in the future.

A day just passed like that.

The main reason why Lyon wants to rule Watchport is that the desert has no future for development. It does not mean that he must rule Watchport. Now that he has not yet ruled Watchport, a lot of things have come up. I can't imagine how many things will happen after he rules Watchport in the future.

"This is not the life I imagined." While resting at night, Leon couldn't help but complain to Tassela.

"What kind of life do you imagine?" Tassela was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book. She put down the book when she heard Leon's words.

Leon organized his words and spoke out his imagined life. That is, as long as he gave an order, a farm would be built. A farm provided ten population points, and ten population points could feed hundreds of people. If he wanted a newspaper for publicity, he only needed to spend a thousand gold coins and ten days or half a month to get it done...

"You think you're playing a game?" Tassela complained, "It's not easy to rule a city, and it's even harder to develop it."

"I have to think of a solution." Lyon sat on the edge of the bed and thought seriously about the future.

"We'll think about that slowly tomorrow." Tassela suddenly hugged Leon from behind. She seemed to be getting addicted to it.

"You juicer."
