Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 171 Another Use

"I am coming again."

So far, Leon's biggest concern is still his equipment, and in comparison, the matter of ruling Watchport can be put aside.

For this reason, the next day after returning to Watch Harbor, he saw off Tassera, inspected the work of the fire giants and Cecilia, and then went to the Lost Plateau, landing at the castle of the cloud giants.

The cloud giant Mancus was tending his vegetable garden. He no longer cared about pumpkins as big as carriages and his target was pumpkins as big as small houses. When he saw a red dragon appear in the sky, circling around and then landing in the courtyard of his castle, he felt a headache coming on.

"Last time I came here, I asked you to help me find a fire giant forge maker who can make dragon armor. How is your search going?" Facing the huge cloud giant, Leon did not transform into human form, but remained in dragon form.

He doesn't have the strength to do whatever he wants now, so at least he has to remain respectful when facing giants. If possible, he still hopes to find some fire giants to help him make equipment in a peaceful way.

In this case, the best option is to find a fire giant furnace maker who has mastered traditional rune magic for help, so that he can at least get an extremely rare piece of equipment.

Apart from this, unless it is absolutely necessary, we will not consider occupying the Fire Giant Fortress and forcibly enslaving the Fire Giants to work.

First of all, he had no good way to deal with fire giants who were not working hard or had ulterior motives. The most important thing was that he could enslave ordinary fire giants, but he had no way to enslave powerful fire giant forge builders to work for him.

"I hope you haven't forgotten the task I assigned to you." Leon continued, completely forgetting that the Cloud Giant was not his subordinate.

Red Dragon! I am not your subordinate. Mancus wanted to say that, but he still remembered that his Storm Hammer hit the red dragon's head and bounced off.

This red dragon just spoke in a rather unpleasant way, but he actually accepted the deal. He was not as arrogant as the other red dragons who demanded him to pay tribute, otherwise he would fight to the death... Mancus quickly convinced himself not to get angry, and said, "Found it."

Giants pay attention to sequence. The most accomplished fire giant craftsman is still ranked lower than the poorest cloud giant. It is difficult for a cloud giant to boss a fire giant furnace maker around, but it is not difficult to find out about a fire giant furnace maker. It is just such a small matter, he does not mind asking for the red dragon.

"I got the gold and mithril." Leon raised his tail and slammed it on the ground. "Now I need you to help me contact the fire giant forge maker and help me make equipment."

"I have already contacted them for you..." Mancus paused and said, "I said you are a silver dragon. Otherwise, they would not help red dragons make equipment..."

The relationship between giants and dragons is not harmonious, but if it is profitable to do business, that is another story. In this case, the relationship between fire giants and red dragons is quite bad because they often fight for territory. It is still a bit difficult to ask fire giants to help a red dragon forge equipment.

Leon fully accepted the Cloud Giant's approach. He was a pragmatist and didn't mind trivial matters as long as they could solve the problem.

Mancus said a lot of things, but the last sentence was what he really wanted to say: "The Fire Giant Furnacemaker is the best Fire Giant craftsman. If you want him to help you make equipment, you have to pay him... They didn't want money at first, but wanted fine gold, mithril and slaves. It was all because of my help. I said that gold coins can buy those things."

Mancus reported a number, and Leon's eyes widened when he heard it. He said, "How much is it? How much is it again? This is simply robbery... It has always been us who robbed others' money, and no one else has robbed our money."

“I know that you giants organize yourselves using a complex hierarchical system. There are small scales under the large scales. Cloud giants are ranked according to wealth, so every cloud giant works hard to accumulate wealth…” Leon couldn’t help but threaten, “I’m going to rob your castle now. It should be enough to pay.”

"I don't want this money. I won't make a penny from you." Mancus complained. In fact, it was true. He just wanted to stay away from the Red Dragon. How could he dare to provoke the Red Dragon? There are so many ways to make money. There is no need to work so hard.

Leon stared at Mancus for ten seconds. He felt that the other party was not lying, so he said, "I don't want to do things like burning, killing and looting, but I have to do it... I'm going to rob a few fire giant fortresses now. I'll give the loot to you and you can help me take it to the fire giant forge maker to make equipment."

When Mancus heard what Leon said, he was a little confused and said, "You robbed the Fire Giant Fortress and gave it to me? How can that be possible? People who don't know would think that I arranged for you to rob it. In any case, there must be an accomplice."

“This won’t do, and that won’t do either. Are you deliberately trying to be my enemy?” Leon growled. “If a tiger doesn’t show its might, you think I’m a sick cat… I think I’ve been easy to talk to. If it were any other red dragon, they would have robbed your castle by now.”

Mancus believed what Leon said. If other red dragons came, they would have started snatching long ago. But he was not to be trifled with. The powerful cloud giant was not afraid of any red dragon... The giants did not like to gather together in large numbers, but they were not isolated. Every cloud family or individual knew where his nearest neighbor was, and he could find help as long as he howled.

"Come to think of it, I haven't settled the score with you for what happened last time." Leon snorted and breathed out through his nose, but unfortunately he couldn't spit out any smoke or flames.

"I have already apologized to you and the green dragon for what happened last time." Mancus said loudly. "That was the last time. You apologized to me and my companions." Leon said, "The last time I was talking about was when you believed the slander and tricked us into trouble with the cultists... We went there and met a mature red dragon."

"I didn't trick you into going. I was just being realistic. It was you who wanted to go." Mancus retorted, but he actually felt a little guilty.

"Whether it was or not, you know it better than anyone else." Leon said, "Do you know how much I was injured in order to defeat that red dragon? Do you know how many years I spent recuperating? I didn't dare to come out until I grew into a young adult dragon."

There is only ambiguity, no specific data. Small things can be said to be big things, and vice versa, big things can be said to be small things. Leon feels that he can go to work as a data worker.

"Wait." Mancus suddenly stopped Leon, "You just said you beat him? Angmog? You were still a young dragon at that time, right? A young dragon beat a mature dragon?"

"You know I'm not an ordinary red dragon." Leon thought for a moment and said, "You don't seem to have seen my full power yet. Maybe I should show you."

"No, no, that's not necessary." Mancus said quickly, thinking that it was no wonder that Angmog hadn't appeared for half a year. It turned out that he was injured after losing... If it was just this degree, it would not be enough to make Angmog so honest. He must have suffered a very serious or special injury.

Lyon noticed that Mancus looked at him strangely, and said, "Compared to a few years ago, I am stronger now... How do you think we should settle this account now?"

"I'm not a demon either." Leon stood up and flapped his wings. "I'm sure we can still negotiate the price you mentioned. A 50% discount is about right. I'll give you all the fine gold and mithril I have, and you can make up the rest. I'll consider it what I owe you, and I'll pay you back later."

"This..." Mancus hesitated. Of course he didn't want to do it, but he didn't trust the red dragon. If he replaced it with a lawful and good silver dragon, he might be able to do it.

"I can give you a collateral, right?" Leon suddenly remembered his recent gain. What a coincidence, he could use it right away. "A legendary item that can change your destiny."

"What legendary item?" Mancus was a little excited.

"A set of Vientiane cards." Lyon said. He didn't really care about Vientiane cards. He just wanted to collect them. He had no psychological pressure to use them as collateral.

It just so happened that the Card of Impermanence was a legendary item, containing powerful strength, and it was not convenient to put it into the small space of his sleeve. His castle and villa had not been built yet, and there was no treasure house to store them, so it was better to give it to the Cloud Giant for safekeeping.

In addition, the set of Unpredictable Cards might attract many people's covetousness, such as Comet Herald, Death-Fear Prisoner, and Blazing Sky Wall. It would be better to let the Cloud Giant test the quality of those people. And the female-faced Sphinx has not been killed yet, so she might do something small.

"The Vientiane cards are hard to come by." Leon coaxed, "Don't you Cloud Giants love gambling? When you get together to gamble, others take out a set of ordinary poker cards, but you take out a set of Vientiane cards, and you'll be the coolest guy in the room."

Mancus was somewhat moved.

“That’s enough.” Leon decided to put some pressure on the Cloud Giant. “If you don’t agree, I’ll be angry.”

"Okay, all right," Mancus yielded.

Whether it is the Ripping Claw, Dragon Jaw or Dragon Armor, they are definitely magical equipment and can be adjusted to a certain extent. There is no problem whether a silver dragon or a red dragon wears them. The only thing is that oversized dragons are not allowed to wear dragon armor that is suitable for large dragons, and vice versa, so Leon does not need to give specific physical data.

Leon handed the refined gold and mithril to the cloud giant as a deposit on the spot, and then left the Lost Plateau.

I don't know how to get the equipment. Even if the fire giant forge maker comes, it will probably take half a year or a year. This is because he has high requirements for the tearing claws and dragon jaws, and has no requirements for dragon armor except that it looks good. In the end, no matter how good the dragon armor is, it can't compare to his indestructible body.

With a vision for the future in mind, Leon returned to the volcanic island, plunged into the lava in the crater, closed his eyes and rested.

The equipment issue has been resolved, and another thing has been resolved. I wonder if Tassera can call the brass dragon over, otherwise he will have to do it himself. In comparison, there is no rush to rule Watchport.
