Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 20 Leaving
Even when they were far away from the dragon's nest on the top of the mountain, Leon still couldn't figure out why the mother dragon suddenly expelled him.

Yes, he had already thought about leaving on his own initiative, so he said, I can leave, but you can't drive me away. This feeling of being driven away really makes people uncomfortable.

He took a deep breath and realized that he hadn't eaten for quite a while. Turning his anger into appetite, Leon folded his wings and dived into the river like a cannonball, catching several big fish in one go, eating heartily... Since he mastered the immobilization technique, catching fish has never been difficult for him.

After eating and drinking, Lyon regained some energy and began to think about the future.

Although he was expelled from the mother dragon's territory, Leon was not worried.

The young dragon is weak relative to the adult dragon. Ordinary adventurers and wild beasts really can't do anything to it. The challenge level of lions, tigers, and brown bears is not as good as that of young dragons. Even griffins are no match for young dragons. However, you still have to be careful when you encounter a wyvern. You can't beat it head-on, and it's also difficult to escape by flying.

Although they are so powerful since childhood, few red dragon hatchlings grow up successfully. Besides the fact that they are full of treasures and too many people are greedy for their bodies, they are too arrogant and reckless. They have brains but don't know how to use them. They are still controlled by emotions even when they know the danger. It is a serious problem that they don't cry until they see the coffin.

Compared to a normal dragonlet, Leon with the golden finger is stronger and much more cautious. His survival rate is at least 80 to 90 percent higher.

Since the mother dragon gave him one day to leave, he didn't need to leave in a hurry.

According to the strong man the mother dragon caught, many adventurers have entered the mother dragon's territory. His bright scarlet scales are too conspicuous, and it is easy to run into those adventurers if he runs around in the daytime. Who knows if he will be unlucky enough to encounter an enemy that he cannot handle at all.

Therefore, it is best to leave the mother dragon's territory at night, using the cover of darkness... In addition to humans, many races, including tieflings, elves, and dwarves, seem to have dark vision. They can regard dim light as bright and darkness as dim light. Therefore, it is not safe to only use the cover of night.

Lyon's sight suddenly fell on the river surface sparkling in the breeze.

Waterway, definitely take the waterway, take advantage of the night to leave by waterway, to ensure that no one can find him. It just so happens that the width of the river is only about ten meters, and the average depth is several meters. There is no way there will be any powerful monsters in such a place. The giant alligator turtle is the host, and there is basically no need to worry about dangerous enemies.

Now there was only one last question: where should he build his nest?

Leon looked around and thought that the nest must be far away from towns and villages. It is true that adventurers are difficult to avoid, but they should be avoided as much as possible.

Although he is not a normal red dragon hatchling, the immobilization spell and sword control spell can at least make his challenge level higher by one or two levels, but he is not that strong, so there must be no powerful enemies near the nesting point, no matter if they are trolls, shark lizards, chimeras or hydras.

The most important thing is resources. Whether it is various animals or fish, resources enough to fill our stomachs are essential.

According to the information I got from Edwin, to the north of the Blackspine Mountains is a country called Beren, built on a frozen wasteland... There is no way I would go to the frozen wasteland because I hate the cold. Also, the frozen wasteland's name suggests that there are no resources there, so there is no need to fight for survival.

In this case, going west is the Gobi Desert, which doesn't seem to be a suitable place to live.

After thinking about it, Leon felt a headache and decided to take a nap first.

When he woke up, it was already night. Leon didn't think anymore. No matter how much he thought, it would be better to move. He decided to take one step at a time and see where he ended up.

He took his sword - the sword was the basis of sword-controlling, and sword-controlling was his main means of attack, so he absolutely could not abandon it - left the nest and leaped into the river with all his might. After swimming upstream for dozens of meters with his tail swinging, he decisively turned around and swam downstream.

I spent most of the time diving, and occasionally surfaced to breathe air and enjoy the scenery. That was the place where I used to pick snails. I missed it so much, it seems like I haven't eaten snails for a long time.

Why didn’t I realize that the water here is so deep before? It may be more than ten meters deep, but there are no fish.

Wow, that's where I found the sword in my arms. I searched for it for a long time and almost gave up.

This place looks nice, but it's definitely still in the mother dragon's territory, so we can't stay here.

How long had he been swimming? At least half an hour. He was swimming downstream at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour at best, and had walked at most 10 kilometers.

Found a crab, it was crunchy.

I don't know how long I swam, but it must have been several hours. You can tell by looking at the position of the moon. The water was originally several meters deep, but now it is less than one meter deep. Leon can no longer swim and can only crawl in the water.

Leon looked back and found that he could still see the mountain where the mother dragon's nest was located. It was normal to think about it. Red dragons like to build nests in high mountains. The place where the mother dragon chose to build its nest was undoubtedly the highest peak nearby, so it could be seen from a distance.

Lyon suddenly thought of the mother dragon and the dragon sister, and felt a little concerned.

The mother dragon had indeed not taken good care of him, and had forced him to take on a debt of one million gold coins. She had also robbed him of his spoils some time ago, and had even unceremoniously expelled him today. But he had to admit that she had always protected him, and at least fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother. That was a mother.

Dragon Sister had a terrible personality and only made people angry, but to some extent, she still met his social needs. Thinking back now, it was quite interesting to spend the days of eating, sleeping, and beating his sister.

There is no point in thinking so much now. I don’t know when we can meet again.

"Goodbye."

Leon pursed his lips, perked up, glanced at the river which was becoming increasingly shallow, turned around, climbed ashore, and ran towards the distance. There seemed to be a forest in front.

Look at the woods first. If it is suitable, stay there. If it is not suitable, move on and look again.

Leon jumped over the bushes, climbed up the slope, spread his wings and flew close to the ground. He forgot about being expelled by the mother dragon and, to some extent, the depression of leaving his hometown. He ran towards his new life with satisfaction and almost didn't notice the familiar ding-dong sound.

"The future is uncertain - leaving the territory of your parents and having to fend for yourself from now on."

"Advanced Reward: Mastery of Spell Capacity."

Ignore those useless warning messages.

"Advanced reward: Samadhi True Fire."

　Sorry, it's a little late. I'm very busy today.
