Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 18 See the Real Red Dragon
Leon really thought it was over, but he was slapped in the face so quickly that he encountered an intruder again in less than three days.

It was night, and he was going down to the river to catch fish under the cover of darkness. After swimming for a long time, he did not find a decent big fish, so he could only eat small fish. When he floated to the surface to catch his breath, he saw a tiefling looking around furtively.

A humanoid creature that is mainly derived from human blood, but they have devil blood flowing in their bodies. Compared to humans, they have horns on their heads, a long and thick tail behind them, very sharp canine teeth, and their eyes are completely monochrome without visible irises or pupils, and their skin is redder.

Tieflings are not inherently evil, but many eventually turn to evil. Whether evil or not, their independent nature makes many tieflings lean toward chaotic alignment.

If Leon had not seen a tiefling moving around nearby before, he might have believed that the other party was the dragon's follower or servant, rather than an intruder.

Tieflin looked around, but didn't look up at the river. Even if he looked, he probably wouldn't be able to find Leon, just like many animals drinking water on the shore find it difficult to find the crocodile approaching. The only thing Leon showed was his eyes and the small horns on his head.

Judging from the tiefling's attire, leather armor with a dagger and a crossbow, his profession should be a wanderer. His equipment is quite simple, which means that his strength is not very strong... It may not be accurate, but it can be said that it is 90% likely.

So, why would you risk your life for 3,000 yuan a month?

Although Leon believed that he could easily kill the tiefling by cautiously approaching him and using the Immobilization Spell combined with the Sword Controlling Technique, he had no intention of taking action considering that there was no guarantee of success and, most importantly, no benefit. The Gold Finger did not support gaining experience points by killing monsters and leveling up, so he had no intention of taking action.

Leon left quietly without waiting for the other party to leave, went to another place to catch fish, and returned to the nest to sleep after eating and drinking. To be honest, because I was thinking about the tiefling, I didn't sleep very well that night.

When he woke up the next morning, Leon hesitated for a long time. He didn't know whether to take the initiative to find the mother dragon and tell her what he had discovered yesterday, or wait until the dragon girl came to find him and then mention it.

After much thought, Leon decided to take the initiative to go to the dragon's nest located on the top of the mountain, which was built in the ruins of a temple. The reason was simple. The continuous appearance of intruders gave him a feeling that a storm was about to come. He was afraid of death and thought that face was more important than life, so he might as well put aside his face and ask the mother dragon for protection.

This was Leon's first time going to a dragon's nest, except for the time he spent in the dragon's nest when he was just hatched.

There seemed to be many buildings on the top of the mountain, most of which had long been damaged and turned into ruins, and a part of them was obviously the masterpiece of the mother dragon.

It is true that the mother dragon is not yet powerful enough to affect a large area nearby, but she can still affect a small area near the dragon's nest or the entire mountain top.

There is no portal to the plane of fire, but there are countless flaming pits and lava rivers. The remains of the temple, the dragon's nest, are even completely covered in flames, smoke, and slowly flowing lava. Although I had heard about it from Sarovice a long time ago, I was still a little shocked to see it with my own eyes.

Dragon Girl was rolling around in the lava river, and immediately became alert when she saw Leon land in front of her.

Could it be that my brother came back to compete with her for the position?

Mothers are only willing to invest so much love in their family, and will not prepare more food every day just because there is one more person. In this case, one less resource is shared by one more person.

“Why are you here?” Saloves lowered her body and growled at Leon, “Didn’t I tell you that mother doesn’t welcome you?”

"Don't mess around." Leon said, "I have important information to report to my mother. Take me to see her now."

Saloveis looked at Leon seriously, said "Wait here", and ran away.

Naturally, Leon would not wait patiently for Dragon Girl's report. Without thinking, he followed Dragon Girl into the ruins of the temple. The imagined scene of a strong red dragon sleeping on a treasure pile made of gold coins, jewels, and various precious objects was not there. Instead, he only saw a lazy red dragon yawning on a pile of stones.

What a poor dragon.

"I haven't notified you to come in yet." Dragon Girl vented her dissatisfaction towards Leon, her words spitting sparks.

"Do you have something important to talk to me about?" The mother dragon shook her head lightly and looked much more energetic.

Leon told her what he had discovered yesterday, and combined with the attacks a few days ago, he made a rather bold guess - someone was trying to harm everyone. He was not bold or exaggerated, as he was afraid that he would not attract the attention of the mother dragon.

Anyway, after some investigation, the mother dragon confirmed her guess. It turned out that he was suffering from paranoia from the beginning to the end. Not only would he not suffer any losses, but he could sleep peacefully instead.

"I understand." The female dragon nodded randomly.

"Okay, you can go." The mother dragon did not drive Leon away, but Salovevis couldn't wait to drive Leon away.

"Mother didn't drive me away, but you did. Who is in charge here, you or mother?" Leon said instigatively.

Long Mei was speechless and furious. Otherwise, how could she still be the master of this place?

All in all, Leon stayed put. It was the first time for him to take a lava bath, the first time for him not to have to find food for himself, the first time for him not to have to eat fish. He had beef, venison, horse meat and other meats that he had never had the chance to eat. He really enjoyed two days of a godly life with everything provided for him.

It was great to live off his parents, and he was enjoying it so much that he forgot about the intruder. The mother dragon seemed listless and nonchalant when she heard his bold guess, but she actually kept it in mind all the time, and brought back a disheveled human man that afternoon.

"Tell me why you trespassed into my territory," the dragoness threatened, "or I'll eat you."

"I didn't know this was your territory..." The strong man knew the situation well. He knelt down tremblingly and took out money from his pocket. Some of the money reflected yellow light, some reflected silver light, and some reflected gold light. "Please be magnanimous and let me go... I, I can pay the ransom."

"Money?" The dragoness laughed. "You're giving me my money?"

"No, it's not." The strong man explained quickly, "Of course all the money I have is yours. Besides that, my family will pay a ransom for me."

"How can I guarantee that you will come back with the ransom after I release you?" The dragoness narrowed her eyes. "Maybe you can write a letter to your family and ask them to bring money to redeem you... How much do you think you are worth? Ten thousand gold coins, or one hundred thousand gold coins?"

Did you bring that man back for blackmail? He was blinded by money and forgot about the business. Leon couldn't stand it anymore. He jumped out and said to the sturdy man, "You definitely didn't break in by accident. What's your purpose in breaking in?"

"I don't have any purpose." The strong man waved his hands quickly, "I really don't mean to offend."

"You won't tell me, right?" Leon was anxious. He was afraid that the dragoness would trick people into letting them go for money. "I can only use some tricks on you."

Leon started gesticulating with his hands and arms.

"Skinning alive means peeling off your skin while you are still alive..."

"To boil a person alive means to immerse you in ice water and then gradually heat it up. At this time, your body will gradually be scalded in the hot water, and your skin will begin to peel off. While you are awake, you will feel your body being scalded bit by bit, until you eventually die in extreme pain..."

"To be torn apart by a wheel means that your four limbs are tied to four rollers with ropes. As the rollers rotate, your limbs are stretched to their limits. You will witness your body being torn apart gradually..."

Leon told the strong man about the torture he learned about on the Internet. The strong man swallowed and turned around to find that the mother dragon and the dragon girl were staring at him in amazement.

The red dragon, the first of the chromatic dragons, is undoubtedly a true dragon of chaotic evil.

Are you a little too red dragon?

The strong man confessed that he knew something. It turned out that someone from the Empire had come because the Empire wanted Edwin.
