Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 162 Dungeon

The merchant ship arrived safely at the Talia Alliance and docked at the city pier called Rafi.

According to Tassera, Rafi is a city that integrates ports and finance, a city built on trade and profits. It holds a pivotal position in the Talia Alliance. Even in the empire it is a big city and a famous city in the world.

As soon as he got off the boat, Leon was immediately attracted by the tall golem standing on the dock.

The iron giant in armor and holding a huge sword looks awesome.

"That's an iron golem." Tassera is well-informed and a good tour guide. "It costs at least 100,000 gold coins to make an iron golem. If you're slow, it'll take several years. And there are several of them here... Only big cities like Lafite can afford it."

"It must have accumulated over time." Leon observed carefully, "I found that the styles of those steel golems are different, which means they were not produced in the same batch, and they were even made by different people."

"Those who know can tell from the styles which era those iron golems came from and which masters made them... I can't do that anyway. I don't have that kind of eye." Tassera suddenly sighed, "My magical attainments can only support me in making stone golems, not iron golems."

"Can I think you are showing off? It's amazing that you can make a stone golem. You are only a young dragon now." After Leon finished speaking, he looked around, worried that someone would hear their conversation and guess that they were two dragons.

"Yeah, I'm super strong." Tassela put her hands on her hips.

He said you were fat and out of breath. He was indeed a blue dragon who could not tolerate any suggestion or implication of his weakness. Leon couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Tassela said with some dissatisfaction. "You usually kill wherever you go... I remind you, be careful, Lafite is not Watch Harbor, just look at those iron golems on the dock and you will know. I believe you can beat one iron golem, even two, but what about three or four?"

"It doesn't matter, I can fly." Leon smiled proudly, "Those big idiots definitely can't fly."

"You don't think those crossbows are just for show, do you?" Tassera said with some longing, "I heard that some iron golems can also release lasers."

"These shouldn't happen." Leon observed for a moment and said, thinking that the technological level in this world is indeed quite fragmented. People in the countryside are still engaging in armed fighting, while big cities have all kinds of strange things... He saw gunboats on the dock right now, and caught a glimpse of a huge airship before the merchant ship docked.

On the way away from the dock, Leon's eyes never stopped moving, just like a bumpkin.

It's not his fault. Before this, the largest city he had been to was the oasis city in the desert, and the only other city was Watchport. This was his first time entering a big city.

At this point, Leon has confirmed, affirmed and confirmed that this world is a world based on DND. It only has the foundation, is full of messy house rules and magical changes, and mixes information from various versions.

If this was a group play, Leon was sure that the host was a guy who had read a few setting books and had a superficial understanding of DND. He used whichever rules were convenient for him, expanded them randomly, and used the resources of unofficial partners. The worst thing was to make up stories and use them right away...

In this situation, Leon felt nothing when he saw the temple of a god he didn't recognize on the side of the road.

"That's the Ocean Goddess." Tassera followed Leon's gaze and said, "I remember there is a Ocean Goddess temple in Watch Harbor, but it's much smaller than this temple. It's totally incomparable. When you take over Watch Harbor in the future, be careful not to attack the Ocean Goddess temple unless you are prepared to deal with the moody Ocean Goddess."

Leon nodded and said, "I emphasize the freedom of religious belief. It does not prohibit belief, but it prohibits preaching in public."

Lyon also didn't know how to rule, he just copied it and made changes when he encountered problems with the local environment.

Along the way, Lyon discovered that Lafite was a city made up of a large number of islands, bridges and canals. Due to the scarcity of land, it was very crowded everywhere. Houses, shops and warehouses occupied every inch of land, even on the bridges. Four- or five-story houses were sparse and common, and looked like they could collapse at any time.

Rumor has it that there is a dungeon hidden in a mountain in the Talia Alliance. Tassera came here for the dungeon, and Leon's main purpose of coming here is to sell things... In the game, after playing for half a day, it's almost time to clean out the backpack and make some large purchases depending on the situation.

After a long journey, there was no rush for anything. Leon asked Tassela to rest for a day and have a good meal first. The food on the merchant ship was terrible.

Eight-candle chandeliers, long floor-to-ceiling windows, embroidered carpets, velvet chairs... After staying in Lafite's luxurious hotel for a day, Lyon opened the door and stood on the balcony. Suddenly, he looked down on Watchport. Unfortunately, neither this place nor Fork Road City were what he could covet now.

Leon made up his mind that when his villa on the volcanic island was repaired, he would decorate it well. He slept through breakfast time, and after lunch, Leon and Tassela went to the store together and found a relatively large weapons and equipment store with the emblem of the goddess of wealth at the door. He took out all the things he had collected over the years, but the large counter could not hold so many things.

The three-headed flail that I snatched from the cultists when I defeated the Gnoll Warband... This thing is a bit evil. It should sell better and at a higher price if I put it in Fork Road City, but I'm too lazy to run around.

At that time, he had just entered his teenage years and encountered a group of adventurers who tried to slay a dragon. That group of adventurers also joined forces with the militia of the village outside the forest, which gave him the opportunity to show off their stealing tactics. Among them, Soul-Calling Brahma played a great role, and in the end he really gained a lot of spoils.

At that time, he really couldn't have imagined that the Fire Giant would become his subordinate. He drove the Fire Giant away and looted the Fire Giant's treasury. There were actually not many truly valuable magical weapons and equipment in the treasury.

I went to Chalu City and robbed a vampire mansion. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to search it carefully, so the final harvest was not very rich, but it was not a small amount.

……

Red dragons are greedy for all valuable things. A normal red dragon can always tell at a glance how many copper coins an item is worth. Unfortunately, Leon is not a normal red dragon. He only has a red dragon skin but can't even breathe fire. Fortunately, Tassera accompanies him. Tassera has experience in running a shop and can ensure that he won't be cheated.

Leon has never been so rich. The gold coins he has now are counted in tens of thousands. However, if he wants to buy mithril and refined gold, this amount of money is just enough.

Leon spent half of his money on Mithril and Adamantium. He felt that he was being frugal. For example, Adamantium forging was too luxurious, and Adamantium plating was just enough to make a few key equipment before he stopped... Dragons don't rely on magic to fly, and being fully armed is impossible because it might be too heavy to fly or fly fast.

Things here were finally finished, and Leon had originally planned to have a good time in Lafite for a few days, but he couldn't resist Tassela's constant urging, so he packed up and left.

Crossing the plains, through the forests, and barely out of the Talia Alliance, we came to a vast area of ​​bleak wilderness and tangled bushes.

"It doesn't look like there is any underground city here." Lyon didn't mean to be a downer, the towering mountains looked quite impressive, but that was all.

"Let's look for it." Tassela said excitedly, "See if there is an entrance."

"There is a village nearby, maybe we can go and ask around." Leon said, suddenly missing Cecilia. If Cecilia were here, she could take on the task of gathering intelligence, but now she can only do it herself and have enough food and clothing.

After some inquiries, I found out that the towering mountain was indeed famous. The locals did not dare to approach the mountain because it was said that demons and devils lived there and once you approached it, you would have no way to leave.

"I told you there was a dungeon here, but you didn't believe me..." Tassela said, "Now I just hope that dungeon hasn't been conquered yet."

“I think it’s very likely that someone has already conquered it.” Leon scratched his forehead. “You can see it in the book, and other people can see it in the book too… Unless you can see it recently, it’s very likely that someone has already gotten there first.”

"We've been to the tomb of the ancient fallen empire before. Everyone in the desert knows about it now, but have you heard who has conquered it?" Tassela said, "After several waves of deaths, it has almost become a forbidden area. People are terrified of it."

Leon nodded thoughtfully, then laughed and said, "I'm still a little worried now. I'll conquer it when I'm stronger... There must be good stuff hidden there."

"I want to go too." Tassela said, "We'll go together then. I can give you all the gold, silver and treasures. I only want the books and antiques."

"We'll talk about it when the time comes."

"Yes, we'll talk about it later. Let's conquer this dungeon first." Tassera was eager to try. "I read in a book that to enter the dungeon, you have to go through a cave. There is a magic door in the cave, but there is no key to the magic door. You have to decrypt it to open it."

Leon originally thought that it would take some time, but unexpectedly, the two of them quickly found the entrance to the dungeon and stood in front of the huge magic door.

There really isn't a keyhole.

Compared to Leon's headache, Tassela's face was full of smiles. God knows how long she has been looking forward to this day. It was not a question of whether she had the strength to deal with the endless monsters, but a test of her wisdom.
