Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 161 Smooth sailing
Watch Harbor doesn't have any special products, no special pearls or gems, not even any food. It's a good thing there's no need to transport food from outside.

Only occasionally would some weapons and equipment made by the dwarves flow out from the Lost Plateau. There was also an elven city near Watchport, and from time to time elven weapons and equipment and handicrafts appeared on the market, worthy of a merchant ship traveling between Watchport and the Talia Alliance.

In this case, there are not only fishing boats at the dock of Shouwang Port, but also merchant ships often coming and going. The main reason is that the geographical location of Shouwang Port is still good, and merchant ships coming and going often stop here for supplies.

The merchant ship that Leon and Tassela were on was passing through Watch Harbor for supplies. Although the merchant ship's final destination was the Empire, it would stop when passing through the Talia Alliance... Leon didn't mind flying directly from Watch Harbor. Now he was no longer afraid of being conspicuous, but he couldn't resist Tassela's desire to take a boat and enjoy the scenery along the way.

Just after boarding the ship and taking a look inside the narrow cabin, Leon was about to go to the deck to get some fresh air. He did not expect that he and Tassela would be blocked by someone.

He was a half-elf wanderer with a weathered face, carrying a weapon on his back and looking like an adventurer. He certainly wasn't trying to blackmail them by blocking them, nor did he have any bad intentions towards Tassera... The veiled Tassera was very beautiful, but she looked like someone who was not easy to mess with. He just wanted to get information: "Did you board the ship at Watch Harbor?"

“Yes.” All the troublesome matters were handed over to Cecilia and the fire giant. Fiora was the supervisor. Leon was in a good mood after getting out of the trouble. “What’s the matter?”

"Have you heard about the red dragon that came to Watch Harbor?"

Tassela looked at Leon with a half-smile.

As the main person, Leon didn't know what expression to show for a moment, and said, "I heard about it."

“Are there really red dragons?” the half-elf rogue asked. “Have you ever seen one?”

"I saw it with my own eyes," Tassela interrupted. "He's almost half the length of this boat."

"This boat is half as long, so it must be a young dragon at least." As an adventurer, the half-elf wanderer undoubtedly has some knowledge.

"It's not a young dragon, but a teenage dragon, there's a difference in age." In fact, to ordinary people, there is no difference between a teenage dragon and a young dragon, and even between adult dragons. But Tassera is a dragon, so she is used to fussing over subtle differences.

She glanced at Leon, who was half a head taller than her in human form, and said with a smile: “It’s just that he’s bigger.”

"Hey, a teenage dragon has the body of a young dragon, and when it reaches the adolescence stage, it will have the body of an adult dragon... It's incredible." The half-elf wanderer said, "We must find a way to deal with this kind of dragon as soon as possible, otherwise it will definitely become a demon that endangers the world in the future."

The words of the half-elf wanderer did not make Leon angry, because the other party said that he would become a great demon king in the future, which was a compliment to him. He smiled and said, "Even if it is like what you said, it is nothing great. There are a lot of ancient dragons now, including ancient dragons and great ancient dragons..."

"It seems so. I seem to be a little too worried." The half-elf wanderer scratched his hair, and only his pointed ears moved a little bit. He paused, "I'm just a little curious, has it really become the patron saint of Watch Harbor? Has it not attacked Watch Harbor?"

"Isn't the ship docked at the port of Watch Harbor? You should be able to see that Watch Harbor doesn't seem to be under attack at all..." Leon thought that publicity was somewhat useful. "Although Watch Harbor was not attacked, it was not protected either. Because Watch Harbor was not ravaged by sea monsters, pirates, or ogres or trolls."

“Although it’s a red dragon, that red dragon is very special.” Just happened to bump into him, and Leon didn’t mind bragging about him.

The half-elf ranger sneered and said, "You are just courting death."

"Maybe." Leon laughed. In fact, he wanted to rule Watchport now, and he might destroy Watchport on a whim at any time. What if the golden finger rewarded him with the skills of refining, nourishing and controlling souls, and taught him to refine the Ten Thousand Souls Banner? He couldn't guarantee that he could resist the temptation 100%.

The half-elf ranger left soon and no one disturbed Leon and Tassera. They went to the deck, one to look at the scenery and the other to watch the sailors working.

"The wind is blowing towards us now." Lyon suddenly wanted to show off, "Do you know why we can sail against the wind?" "Why?" Tassera is keen on learning, but it is impossible for her to know everything. Maybe she will know a little bit about everything after a few hundred years. Unfortunately, she is only a young dragon now, and she has not lived as long as many people, especially since she usually lives in the desert.

Lyon gestured, "When a sailboat is sailing in the sea, it is affected by two forces at the same time: the wind and the thrust of the water. When sailing against the wind, as long as the headwind is turned into side wind, by adjusting it back and forth, the boat can move along a 'Z'-shaped route. The boat is not actually driven by the wind. The biggest source of power is that when the air flows through a curved surface similar to an airplane wing, it will generate a forward and upward attraction..."

"I don't really understand." Tassela shook her head. After all, she had no physics foundation. "Be more specific."

"It's okay if you don't understand. It's not important knowledge." Lyon is just half-full of water. If he says more, he will be exposed.

Tassela chuckled and didn't ask any further questions.

Leon looked away from the deck and turned to look at the sea. The sea was a little green and not pretty at all. He said, "Do you think it's possible for us to encounter sea monsters?"

"Where do so many sea monsters come from..." Tassela pressed her long hair that was messed up by the sea breeze. "If there are really so many sea monsters, how can any ship dare to sail on the sea now?"

"There aren't that many dragons, but I feel like there are dragons everywhere... blue dragons, green dragons, brass dragons, bronze dragons, white dragons." Leon said with a smile, "fire giants, cloud giants, rocs, green-footed dragon snakes, hunting demons... powerful monsters are everywhere."

"That's because you always like to run to dangerous places." Tassela said, "Also, you can't see those weak beings. Ordinary people can't see them everywhere. Goblins and kobolds can't see them either. If they do, you pretend they don't exist. You only remember those powerful monsters."

"It's so funny when you explain it seriously." Leon found that the sea breeze blew away the veil on Tassela's face, revealing a delicate face with her lips with clear lip lines curled up.

"I suddenly want to bite you, can I?" Tassela said hatefully.

"No," Leon said, "Have you ever eaten sperm whale?"

"No."

“I heard it’s like pork.”

"do not know."

"I've always wanted to catch a sperm whale and try it out, but I'm afraid of encountering sea monsters because my fighting power will be greatly reduced underwater." Lyon said, "I probably can't even defeat an older dragon turtle. If I'm unlucky and encounter a Kraken, I can only run for my life."

Leon suddenly thought that this world was based on DND, but there were several versions of DND. In some versions, the dragon turtle was a wild monster, and the Kraken was a giant squid, a mere deep-sea squid. In some versions, the dragon turtle was a dragon, and the Kraken had an extremely high challenge level...

"You can't meet a dragon turtle, and you'll definitely not meet a Kraken... Kraken is a Titan, a quasi-god, and usually lives in the depths of the dark ocean." Tassera said, "I've noticed that you're sometimes reckless, and sometimes overly worried."

"I'm usually quite cautious, but I often get carried away, which is a shortcoming of my character." Leon said, "Dragon turtles and Krakens are rare, and water giants are also hard to see. However, sahuagin, merman, and myro merman are quite common. I wonder if I'll have a chance to see one."

No Shahuamin, mermen, or Myro mermaids were seen, and there was no chance to see the pirate ship, but I heard that pirate ships can often be seen in the Paintbrush Strait outside the Talia Alliance, and a pirate city is located in the Whirlpool Sea... The merchant ship sailed on the sea for three days and arrived safely at the Talia Alliance.
