Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 191 Benefits
Cecilia is a green dragon, a green dragon with nothing special about her... She was originally thin, but returned to normal after Tiamat helped activate her bloodline. However, she still has a flat chest in human form, which means that she subconsciously thinks she has a flat chest. Her strength is really average, but she is quite capable in dealing with people and doing things.

Cecilia said that he would soon feel the effect of fame, and Leon believed it without a doubt, and sure enough, he felt it not long after.

That was almost a week later. Leon was lying in a lava pool taking a lava bath when he heard the fire giant report that someone wanted to join him and asked him if he wanted to meet.

"Bring them here."

Creatures that serve red dragons live in constant fear of being burned and eaten by red dragons because of their displeasure. Because of the red dragons' bad reputation, few people actively join them. It's rare for Leon to encounter such a thing, so he was more or less excited.

Those who join the Red Dragon are generally not good people.

They were three cultists who claimed that they could help Lyon overthrow the rule of Watchport.

After some questioning, he found out that the cultists were from a sect that believed in Tiamat, but didn't he know that he had previously destroyed a village occupied by cultists who believed in Tiamat? It was also at that time that he had a grudge against Angmog. So he thought that he was a red dragon and that everything would be fine?
Really stupid or just pretending to be stupid, whether there was the shadow and big hand of Tiamat behind this, Leon didn't know, anyway, he just thought of the worst.

Even so, Leon did not kill a few people directly, but said considerately: "I am not interested in ruling Watch Harbor for the time being. If you want to become my subordinates and work for me, then report to the Fire Giant. We are in urgent need of labor to build roads and docks."

Next, no matter how ugly the expressions of those cultists were, Leon waved his hand and asked the fire lizard to take them to report to the fire giant.

A few days after the cultists surrendered, a pirate ship stopped at the unfinished dock on the volcanic island.

Many pirate fleet captains are not only powerful warriors with great equipment, but also powerful undead. Their immortality means they have plenty of time to hone their skills, making them formidable fighters.

An undead admiral finds Leon and wants to cooperate with Leon to take over Watchport.

"Really? I'm underestimated." Leon said, "Do you look down on me? Do you think that I can't do anything to Watchport just because I stay quietly on Volcano Island? I have to cooperate with you to take over Watchport, or do I find it troublesome and I'm too lazy to move."

"No, we don't mean that." The Undead Admiral is very powerful, but that is relative to ordinary people. He is far from being able to become a Death Knight, let alone a Red Dragon.

“Go ahead and don’t think about those things.” Leon waved his hand, “Don’t mess with me, otherwise I don’t mind going to Moon Bay to talk to your boss.”

Lyon knew where the pirates were. There was a pirate city in a place called Moon Bay. It was an anarchic pirate fortress and a notorious criminal paradise. In a way, it could be said to be a fork in the road on the sea.

Leon didn't want to start a war with the pirates, so he didn't hurt the undead admiral, but he didn't ask to return the gift. The gift from the undead admiral, a golden cat with rubies as eyes, felt quite vulgar, but it was also really beautiful.

There is only one temple of the sea goddess in Watch Harbor, and the priest of the sea goddess also brought a gift, a huge red coral, to the volcanic island, which was beyond Lyon's expectation.

The priest of the Sea Goddess implicitly stated that the Sea Goddess would not object if Leon wanted to rule Watch Harbor, provided that he did not do anything bad to the Sea Goddess's temple. Even if he was willing to believe in the Sea Goddess, everything could be discussed, including supporting him to become the Lord of the Four Seas.

Leon did not want to become a believer of any god, and politely declined the invitation of the goddess of the sea, and the priest of the goddess of the sea also expressed understanding. After all, it is very difficult to gain the faith of the red dragon, even the evil dragon queen Tiamat finds it difficult to do so.

"Is my performance that obvious?" Leon couldn't help but ask.

As the priest of the sea goddess spoke, he said that there must be some conspiracy because he had not attacked Watch Harbor. It was obvious that the green dragon outside Watch Harbor was related to him. The shapeshifters would not be bored and move around in Watch Harbor, promoting everywhere that the red dragon was a good dragon... Leon felt that he could not underestimate the world.

Because of his identity as a red dragon and his golden finger, he has a very strong fighting ability. Besides that, his IQ should be good, but his EQ is only at the level of an ordinary social animal in modern society. It is impossible for him to become smooth-talking after traveling through time. Although he is not so good as to be played around by others, he probably doesn't have the ability to play around by others.

As soon as the priest of the goddess of the sea left, the mayor of Watch Harbor came running over with gifts in his eyes. It was the first time he took the initiative to visit Leon in such a long time.

The mayor of Watch Harbor was just an ordinary man. If he were in a castle on the mountain at the crater, he would probably be baked to death by the scorching heat in less than half an hour. For this reason, Leon received him in a villa at the foot of the mountain.

Lyon's villa at the foot of the mountain is quite large and has all kinds of rooms, including the reception room.

In the reception room, Leon looked at the mayor who was constantly wiping his sweat and said with a smile: “Is it that hot here? Or am I that scary?”

“No, no, not at all, Lord Leon.” The mayor said as he cautiously looked up at the black-haired young man sitting opposite him, recalling the past. He remembered that he had never felt such great power before. Is it true that a person’s reputation is like the shadow of a tree?
Leon leaned back in his chair with his arms folded across his chest, almost putting his legs on the table, barely maintaining a bit of image. Although he had a human soul, he actually didn't like to be polite. He said, "Just tell me what you want to say. What's the matter that brought you to the island to find me?" "That's it." The mayor swallowed. He really wanted to be transferred, but there was no way. "Aren't you the patron saint of Watch Harbor?"

“Although I’m the protector of Watch Harbor, I’m sorry that I haven’t done much.” Leon wanted to tease the mayor, “I don’t deserve the protection fee of 1,000 gold coins per month.”

“No, no, no, this is as it should be… It is precisely because of Lord Leon’s reputation that those pirates and monsters dare not invade Watchport. A good warrior does not necessarily have glorious achievements.” The mayor finally calmed down.

“I’ve done so many things.” Leon nodded smugly and said, “Can the protection fee be increased a little?”

"Uh... it's really not possible. Our taxes are already very high. If we increase them any more, everyone will revolt." The mayor took out a pile of information he had prepared in advance. "It's not that we are stingy. Our Watch Harbor is just a small city. We don't have many industries. We only have so much tax revenue every month. We really have to take it all out."

"You must be aware of the relationship between Watch Harbor and the Golden Shore Chamber of Commerce." The mayor took a deep breath. "We don't expect any tax revenue from Watch Harbor at all. We may even invest money in it just to keep the maritime trade route."

Leon did not embarrass the mayor because the level of Watch Harbor was just like that. He said, "One thousand gold coins is enough. I don't ask for an increase, but it can't be reduced any further."

"Of course." The mayor said hurriedly.

"But I have a few small suggestions for Watch Harbor." Leon did not ask for an increase in protection fees, but that did not mean he did not have other requests. "Please keep a note of them."

"I have a lot of ideas, but I don't expect you to do them all at once. Just do one or two first, and it's better than nothing." Leon thought for a while and said, "First of all, it's the sanitation issue. Can you manage the sanitation a little bit, build a few public toilets, and prohibit urinating and defecating anywhere... I don't want to be cautious all the time when walking on the road."

Leon really didn't pay attention to how the world utilized feces, whether it could be composted and fermented, otherwise perhaps he could do something very remarkable and very un-Red Dragon thing.

"You know I go to Watch Harbor often." Leon continued, "I need you to mark out an open space in Watch Harbor so that I can take off and land in dragon form."

"No problem," said the mayor, "I'll arrange it when I get back."

"You can continue to be the mayor. I will not be in charge of the business activities of the Golden Shore Chamber of Commerce." Leon was not afraid of asking for too much, and took this opportunity to ask for the right to rule Watch Harbor. "It's about the personnel management of Watch Harbor. I have a little idea, I hope you don't have any objection."

The mayor was silent for a long time.

"No objection." He didn't know what Honglong wanted to do, but he could only agree. The mayor drooped his shoulders, thinking that as long as the interests of the Jin'an Chamber of Commerce could be guaranteed, the life and death of others didn't matter.

Speaking of this, Lyon was a little dazed.

He has been thinking about how to rule Watchport, worrying about this and that, and now the other party has come to his door... It's normal to think about it. Political power comes from the barrel of a gun, and the biggest gun is in his hands. Watchport has no ability to resist and can only submit.

The main reason was that he didn't behave like a normal red dragon at all. Otherwise, facing a chaotic evil red dragon, Overwatch would have to resist.

Some dragons are the bosses of vast criminal organizations, seeking to plunder surrounding areas to expand their territory and treasure. Others rule over peaceful and prosperous towns, with taxes providing a steady source of income. Still others prefer to become warlords, emperors, or gods.

It was quite rare for a dragon to rule a city, but it was not a very outrageous thing to do.

Leon finally realized that reputation was really useful.

What he didn't know was that it wasn't over yet.

Next, there was another "ding dong" sound without any prior warning.

"Your fame is rising. You are famous now. You can stop children from crying at night."

"Advanced reward: Body-out-of-body skills."
