Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 19 Suddenly
People's fear, to a large extent, is the fear of unknown things and uncertainty. Different from the fear of snakes, spiders, and blood that is engraved in genes, the genes that do not fear those things are basically difficult to pass down in human history.

Leon had always been worried about the intruders who kept appearing one after another, mainly because he didn't know what conspiracy those intruders had. Now that he had learned the truth from the strong man, he couldn't let go of his worries. The person who was targeting them was not simple.

If Edwin was still the chief wizard under the mother dragon, still working and serving the mother dragon, this matter might be difficult to resolve. Now that one dragon and one person suddenly broke out in conflict for unknown reasons and parted ways, it means that this matter could be a misunderstanding.

All in all, Leon was quite excited. When the dragoness came back after throwing the strong man into the basement, he immediately asked, "What does mother think?"

"What do you mean?" the dragon said. "Are you talking about the ransom?"

A dragon with money on his mind is really a headache. Leon opened his mouth and closed it again, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and patiently explained: "No, I'm talking about what he said... Edwin is not with us. Now we just need to tell those imperial people about this matter, and there will be no trouble."

"If we tell them, will they believe it?" the dragon asked.

Leon reacted and realized that the chaotic evil red dragon had never been known for its noble qualities, and no one would easily believe the words of a red dragon.

Even so, Leon was unwilling to give up. He said, "They may not believe it, but we cannot help but explain and make efforts... The proud red dragon will not lie. I imagine that as long as mother explains the matter clearly, that you and Edwin had a conflict, and now Edwin is your enemy, they will definitely believe it."

"What are you talking about? A proud red dragon won't lie?" The mother dragon's eyes wandered, she was thinking about what she had done for nearly a hundred years, "I like to deceive those fools, as long as they pay the ransom I will let them go... I want to run away after I offended you?"

Leon smiled bitterly.

Yes, one has to admit that the red dragon is not a perfect liar like the green dragon. It is also a master of mystifying speeches. It likes to use misleading and deceitful means to gain the upper hand over the enemy. It is known as a cunning and rebellious true dragon, but it is not a good thing either.

The chaotic evil red dragon is a free-spirited one. It can cheat anyone it wants and take back what it said in the morning in the afternoon.

“Mother wouldn’t want to be misunderstood by others.” Leon said patiently.

"It doesn't matter." The dragoness yawned, "If they dare to enter my territory, I will kill them."

Leon thought for a moment and decided to persuade the dragon from another angle. He smiled and said, "Don't you want to tear Edwin into pieces? In fact, I think you can work together with them to find Edwin together."

The dragoness taunted, "Edwin taught you the Common Language... I heard that you used to go to him every few days to chat, listen to him talk about things outside, borrow books, and you even called him teacher... You treated him like this, and you schemed against him like this. You really are my good child."

Leon was dumbfounded. He had always thought that he was kind-hearted. Was he born a bad guy? He might be a good person if there was no conflict of interest, but once his interests were involved, he would do anything?

"It's a stopgap measure." Lyon tried to defend himself, thinking that words are words and actions are actions.

"The intruders they supported almost killed you, but you weren't angry at all?" the dragon lady suddenly asked, "You have such a good temper, but you still want to cooperate with them?"

Leon tilted his head several times.

He was almost killed, and he heard that the empire was very powerful and even the red dragon could not do whatever it wanted. He didn't want to cause a conflict, so he really didn't think about it seriously.

"What if they ask me why I had a quarrel with Edwin?" The mother dragon lowered her head and stretched it in front of Leon.

"Then..." Leon's voice was stuck. He didn't know why the conflict broke out between the dragon and the man, but he knew that the mother dragon had always been ashamed of this matter, and with her face-saving personality, she would never say it out loud.

The female dragon gently pushed her head forward, pushing Leon down, then retracted her head, raised it high, and said, "I will not cooperate with those imperial people. I will only find the liar myself and kill him."

Leon hasn't gotten up yet.

"I will not explain to those imperial people unless they come to visit me with generous gifts. Maybe I will show mercy and tell them not to waste their time here." The mother dragon raised her chin arrogantly, "Besides, Gray Mountain Town? Maybe I should take the initiative to visit them, because they keep trespassing into my territory, and I am very angry now."

At this point, Leon completely gave up the idea of ​​persuading the mother dragon.

"Finally..." The mother dragon looked at Leon, "I have something to announce." "What, what?" Leon was sure that what the mother dragon was going to announce at this time was closely related to him.

"That means I'm going to expel you." The mother dragon roared at Leon, and the wind from the roar almost blew him down. "I now demand that you leave my territory immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

There was no sign and the decision was so sudden that Leon suspected he had heard it wrong.

"Why expel me?" Leon really couldn't understand why the mother dragon suddenly expelled him. Even if she didn't listen to his opinions, she didn't expel him to the point of expelling him. It wasn't even as simple as expelling him from the dragon's nest on the top of the mountain, but completely expelling him from the mother dragon's territory of hundreds of kilometers.

"You don't need to know why," the dragon said, "you just need to know that this is my decision."

Saloveis, who had been quiet all the time, jumped out.

"Don't talk, don't try to persuade me." The mother dragon glared at the little dragon girl, "Unless you also want to be expelled by me."

"Ah, no—" Saloves said quickly, "I'm not trying to persuade mother, I agree with her decision."

"You two are siblings, but you support your brother when he is expelled?" the dragoness asked. "If I get killed one day, will you applaud me?"

"No." Long Mei felt extremely wronged and almost cried. She felt that nothing she said was right.

"Alright." The dragoness's eyes fell on Leon again. "What else do you want to say now? Are you crying and begging me? You cried, 'Mother, I am your good baby, please don't drive me away', but you still refused to leave, and in the end I picked you up by the tail and threw you out, looking as miserable as a dog."

Leon was sure that the mother dragon had some reason to suddenly expel him, but that didn't stop him from taking two deep breaths and saying firmly, "I've wanted to leave a long time ago."

Leon turned and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" the dragon said suddenly.

Leon stopped.

"Remember you still owe me one million gold coins." The mother dragon reminded.

Leon looked back at the dragoness, flapped his wings and flew up without saying a word, and suddenly remembered to ask: "Name, your name."

He didn't know why he suddenly wanted to ask the mother dragon's name. The mother dragon had never heard of Saloveis's name.

The dragon replied, "Angrista."

Leon nodded, said nothing more, and left.

Angelista kept staring at Leon until he disappeared from her sight, then she lay on the ground, thinking about her two children, one protected by her side, and the other expelled. Although they lacked the protection of their parents, they did not have to face their parents' enemies - those imperial people were quite difficult to deal with, but even so she would not admit the shame and clear up the misunderstanding - eggs should not be put in the same bowl, at least one would survive.

This eldest son, compared to the violent and arrogant red dragon, is more like a flexible human being. Although he did not inherit the practical knowledge from his parents, he seems to possess another special power. As expected, His Majesty Tiamat will not treat any red dragon unfairly. I wonder what he will grow up to be in the future.

The mother dragon glanced at Sarovice, only to see the little girl looking at her flatteringly, and sighed deeply. It's not a problem if you don't know the goods, but it's a problem if you compare the goods. Compared with the eldest son, the little girl is really naive.

Oh, go to sleep and don’t think about so many things.

Angelista closed her eyes and fell asleep.
