Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 203 Changes
Albatrosses rarely flap their wings. The only time they need to expend energy during flight is when they take off. Once they enter a stable flight mode, they can go a long time without flapping their wings. They rely entirely on the dynamic lift in the air and use the wind shear above the sea to gain kinetic energy.

If an albatross can do it, there is no reason why a dragon cannot do it.

Although it took Lyon and Tassera half a day to fly from the desert to Watch Harbor, the consumption of physical energy was completely insignificant. It did not prevent Lyon from asking Tassera to land at Watch Harbor on the pretext of being tired from the journey, and he kept saying that he wanted to have a big meal to replenish his energy.

"Do you remember what Watch Harbor looked like when you left last time?" Leon was unwilling to land on the volcanic island with Tassera and insisted on landing at Watch Harbor, mainly because he wanted to show off.

Look, the Watchport I rule is no longer the same as it once was.

Tassela was not as good at providing emotional value as Cecilia, the green dragon, but she was also knowledgeable and tactful. She quickly noticed Leon's thoughts and looked around and said, "I remember, I remember... I don't know how to put it, but the changes are really big."

"Why is there an empty space here?" Tassera looked down at the compacted ground, turned around and transformed into a human form, from a charming blue dragon to a beauty with big breasts, a thin waist and long legs. "Are you planning to build a market?"

"There is already a square in Watch Harbor, which can function as a market. There is no need to build another one." Leon followed Tassela and changed from dragon form to human form. "This open space is simply marked out for me to facilitate my takeoff and landing in dragon form."

Leon paused and continued: "Of course, I am very generous and allow you, Cecilia, Fiora... allow everyone to use it if you want."

"The market is a little further on. Let's go. I'll treat you to a meal." Leon took Tassela towards the square.

"Look at the ground. It's very clean, right? Why do you think it's so clean?"

“I planned that commercial street.”

"You're not mistaken. That's a hobgoblin."

On the way to the square, Leon was interested in introducing to Tassela the policies he had enacted after ruling Watchport. What about prohibiting urinating and defecating anywhere, and the three guarantees in front of the door? Without this policy, the ground in Watchport would definitely not be so clean. What about as long as you abide by the laws and regulations, goblins and orcs can enter Watchport...

Many things seemed normal to Leon, but they were simply unorthodox to Tassela. She asked, "If you do that, many people will probably resist."

"At the beginning, if someone resists, they will be killed... The population of Watch Harbor is small, so we can't kill them all. The leader of the riot will be killed, and the rest will be locked up for a few days. Just kill some people and lock up some people, and no one will dare to resist." Leon nodded and smiled, "If you are strong, there will be great scholars to debate for you."

"And you don't know how generous I am." Leon said, raising his hands. "I freed those slaves and gave them land. They didn't even have to pay taxes in the first year, and only half the tax in the second year. For those merchants, I abolished a lot of exorbitant taxes... Many people really respect me from the bottom of their hearts."

Of course, Leon was not that generous. The money missing here had to be made up from somewhere else. He said, "The deed tax is new, and the luxury goods tax is also new... If you want to open a casino or something, you must spend money to buy a license and operate it according to the law."

Leon talked for a long time, and Tassela looked puzzled for a moment, and complained: "Are you really a red dragon? That arrogant tyrant."

"I want those landlords and gentry to release their slaves if I want them to, or kill them if they don't. I want those shops to pay taxes on time every month if I want them to, or I will confiscate their shops if they don't. I can do whatever I want, regardless of whether you support me or not. Am I not an arrogant tyrant?" Leon snorted, not knowing when he gradually came to accept the identity of the Red Dragon.

After Leon took Tassela out for a good meal and a tour of Watch Harbor, he quickly took Tassela to the volcanic island.

"You can build a magic tower on this island, or in Watch Harbor... including the nearby coast. It doesn't matter where you go."

Let’s not talk about how close the relationship between Tassera and him is. Tassera is not only a young blue dragon, but also a mage. Talent introduction must be accompanied by housing and money. Leon continued: “I can give you manpower, land, and a maximum of 10,000 gold coins. If it’s not enough, you have to pay for it yourself.”

"Before the wizard tower is built... you can live with me temporarily. I can give you ten rooms and you can arrange them however you want." Leon had been to Tassera's lair and knew her needs.

Cecilia learned a few days later that Tassela had moved here from the desert.

"Didn't you ask the master to help you build the Mage Tower?" Cecilia had always been at odds with Tassela. She didn't want to see Tassela show up in Watch Harbor and suppress her. "Why are you running here when you have nothing?" "Your master asked me to come." Tassela was packing up. There were thousands of books to pack up, and she had no idea about the drawings of the Mage Tower. She was in a bad mood. "Although he didn't help me build the Mage Tower, he gave me 10,000 gold coins and manpower... You followed him here, did he give you anything?"

Cecilia remained calm and even proud, saying, "The right to rule an entire forest."

"Since you have the right to rule over a forest, it should be okay for me to have 500 people." Tassela squinted at Cecilia, "Leon said that I am short of manpower to build a wizard tower, so I will ask you for it. I want to build a very large wizard tower, and I need a lot of manpower."

"Who told me to be so generous..." Cecilia spread her five fingers, "I can provide you with two hundred kobolds and three hundred goblins."

Leon didn't want to pay attention to the quarrel between Tassela and Cecilia because he found that the two of them were quite enjoying it.

"If you insist on quarreling and fighting with Tassela, don't come to me if you lose. I can't help you. Even if I need help, it will be for Tassela." Leon was squinting his eyes, lying on a lounge chair on the beach outside the villa to bask in the sun, and found Cecilia walking up to him.

“I didn’t lose.” Cecilia squatted beside Leon’s recliner and leaned on the armrest of Leon’s recliner. “I heard that the master gave her ten rooms… I am the master’s maid, so I should have a room at least.”

Cecilia regretted that the villa in Lyon had just been renovated and she forgot to ask for a room.

"A maid's room, right next to the master's room, to take care of the master at all times." Cecilia said, nodding to herself.

Leon thought about it, and he actually wanted to agree with Cecilia. He didn't want to be a thief, but he just wanted to watch Tassela and Cecilia fight. Otherwise, life would be too boring. After all, he didn't like to be the king, and most of the things he had done so far were forced.

Constructing a wizard tower is a huge project. It is not something that can be done by simply building a tower. There are many considerations in choosing a location. It is best to build it in a place with magical resonance, a place where multiple regularly flowing magical energy lines intersect - this is what Leon knew - and there is no need to rush for the time being.

First, she cleaned up the study, then the laboratory, and finally the bedroom... Sorting out after moving is a process that requires time, energy, and patience. Ten days or half a month is not enough. Anyway, it took Tassela a month to finally finish the moving.

"Can you help me solidify the magic now?" Leon, who had nothing to do, was always thinking about Tassera helping him set up a few magic traps in the castle and villa, and a protective spell to prevent theft and spell detection.

"Why are you so anxious? Is there anyone who dares to come to your place to steal things and covet your treasure?" Having said that, Tassela had no reason to refuse Leon.

Solidifying magic is a time-consuming, laborious and expensive task. On the other hand, Tassera's research direction has always been in energy shaping and illusion. She is not very good at that kind of work, so she spent a lot of time on it.

When Tassela's work was completed, Leon finally felt relieved and took out his huge red coral ornaments and golden cat ornaments. Otherwise, he would always worry that a wanderer would come out from somewhere and steal things.

Tassera is now busy drawing blueprints for the Mage Tower and designing its exterior. The exterior must be unique, and there are more than a dozen versions of the exterior drawings alone. Internal planning is not so easy either, as it requires consideration of current needs as well as future needs... She wears the books out every day.

Cecilia continued to manage her forest as usual, integrating the various forces under her, selecting loyal subordinates, and finding ways to get rid of all those half-hearted subordinates.

As for Lyon, he is like a street urchin, looking here and there every day, hovering in the sky when he has nothing to do, and swimming in the sea when he is in a good mood. He still dares not go to the deep sea and lives a leisurely life.

Then, it was five years after Leon came to Watchport and the fourth year of his rule over Watchport. To everyone's surprise, Watchport was not ruined by him and turned into a hell on earth. Instead, it flourished.

It has to be said that all the times Leon played simulation management games were not in vain. Although it did not make him an excellent ruler, he was still a qualified ruler.

At the same time, he has absolute power in Watch Harbor. Although it is easy to make mistakes, as long as he knows his mistakes and can correct them, it is also easier to do big things and do the right things. He can do things that are beneficial in the long run regardless of opposition, and some sacrifices are inevitable.

Five years is neither long nor short. It is not enough for Lyon to grow from a teenage dragon to a young adult dragon, but it is enough for his body to grow a circle and his magic power to improve a lot.
