Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 214 Call it a day
When I found Cecilia, she was lying on the ground with her eyes closed and taking a nap.

The bodies of the mind flayers and brain devourers were still there, not cleaned up, but the body of the displacement beast was missing. However, judging from the blood stains on the corners of the green dragon's mouth, it was most likely eaten by her.

There were originally six gray dwarves, five of whom survived the battle with Cecilia. Now there are only four left. They sit obediently on the ground, not caring about the wounds all over their bodies, and dare not sneak away while the green dragon is resting.

Lyon could imagine that the cunning green dragon would lure the gray dwarves into escaping by pretending to be asleep, and then suddenly attack and kill one of them after they had escaped. No matter how brave the remaining gray dwarves who were lucky enough to be alive were, they would probably not dare to have any evil thoughts even if the green dragon squinted its eyes and did not move for an hour.

The distance is still more than ten meters.

"The master is back..." Without waiting for Leon to get close, Cecilia opened her eyes early, and then turned into a human form, a girl wearing a beautiful maid outfit and with cute short hair covering her ears. Seeing this, the gray dwarves were glad that they didn't do anything tricky.

"I'm back." Leon smiled brightly, "I brought you something good."

"What good stuff?" Cecilia's eyes lit up. "The master actually remembered the little maid... I'm so touched. As long as the master tells me, I can do anything I want."

"Eating it will definitely help you awaken your psychic powers." Leon said as he stretched out his hand and drew a crack in the air, and the corpse of a main brain immediately fell out.

"Is this... the corpse of the Mastermind?" Cecilia had never seen the Mastermind in person. The Mastermind was not someone she could afford to provoke, nor was she given the chance to do so. The two sides' normal living areas did not overlap. In any case, the Mastermind she had heard of looked like a brain with tentacles.

"Yes, the corpse of the Mastermind." Leon reached out and poked the corpse of the Mastermind. The seemingly soft and elastic brain was surprisingly tough, but to his sharp teeth and claws, it was no different from tofu. "Even if it is a new Mastermind, it is still a Mastermind. Eating it will definitely help you awaken your psychic powers."

"This one……"

"What is this?"

"I think I'd better forget it." Cecilia bit her thin lips lightly, revealing two tooth marks. She dared to eat a displacement beast with two tentacles and six legs, but she still felt a little guilty when facing the main brain.

“You are afraid of danger and don’t want to accompany me to the Mind Flayer Colony. I can accept that… Now I have brought out the corpse of the Mastermind for you. You tell me you don’t want to eat it?” Leon crossed his arms, looked away, and snorted, “You don’t have to eat it, but don’t expect me to remember you in the future.”

"I am afraid... I'm afraid it will take over my body." Cecilia said, looking pitiful, weak and helpless.

"Is it possible that the main brain looks dead, but its spirit is still alive..." Cecilia hesitated and tried to find an excuse, "It's just waiting for someone to eat it, and then use its powerful spirit to occupy that person's body and be reborn."

That mastermind was really cunning, and even wanted to plot against him to become the mastermind dragon. He was just a little weaker in strength, and couldn't even make any moves in his nest. It was all thanks to the cooperation of the Mind Flayer Arcanist, otherwise who knows what would have happened.

Thinking of this, Leon was sure that the main brain would not be able to do anything tricky under his Samadhi Fire. His Samadhi Fire could not only burn external objects, but also burn souls. However, he was still a little worried.

“Forget it, if you don’t want to eat it, then don’t eat it.” Leon didn’t want to see Cecilia suffer. He turned to look at the gray dwarves, seamlessly switching from dragon language to dwarven language, and pointed at the corpse of the main brain, “You ate it... Don’t make me say it twice.”

The remaining four gray dwarves looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing what Leon said.

How dare they disobey Leon? They left without hesitation, and in just a few hours, they killed their way through the Mind Flayer colony and killed the red dragon whose body the Mastermind brought back. Especially since they often dealt with lava and fire, they were quite familiar with red dragons and knew their personalities very well.

Bernhard was the first to walk to the mastermind's body, picked up a piece of slightly burnt "tofu" and put it into his mouth.

The other gray dwarves followed suit.

"How does it taste?" Leon asked curiously.

Bernhard didn't know what answer the red dragon wanted, so he thought for a moment and said truthfully, "It's not delicious."

"Do you want me to prepare some spices for you?" Lyon is rich now and is not afraid of the high prices of spices.

"No, no." Bernhard shook his head repeatedly.

"Forget it... After eating the corpse of the main brain, do you feel that your psychic power level has improved?" Leon asked. He was basically sure that just eating the corpse of the main brain would not have any effect. If there was a way to refine the corpse of the main brain into a pill, that would be another matter.

Bernhard replied: "Nothing."

Leon didn’t ask any more questions, and wanted to persuade Cecilia again, saying: “Look, they ate and nothing happened.”

"But it's no use." Cecilia still refused. Just because a dragon can eat mud doesn't mean a dragon has to eat mud.

"Maybe it will be useful later." Lyon did not give up.

"Nothing happened for now. He might go into schizophrenia in the next moment." Cecilia thought for a moment and decided to change the subject. "How did the master find the Mind Flayer colony and kill the mastermind?"

Who doesn't like to show off in front of others? Leon was no exception. He told the story of how he found the Mind Flayer colony, focusing on how the Mastermind had discovered him long ago and had been plotting against him, but he was too strong to be defeated. In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks were fake. "Master is so powerful..." Cecilia applauded.

"After the master left, I asked the gray dwarves about the situation in their city."

Cecilia was afraid that Leon was still thinking about letting her eat the main brain, so she continued, "That city is ruled by the Black Iron King and the Landlord Council, as well as the Scholar Council and the Merchant Council. The total population is unknown, but the army has at least 500 people, and there are stone giants..."

"The strongest Black Iron King can fight a Beholder alone, but he will also be injured. It can be inferred that his strength is far inferior to that of the master."

"If we fight head-on, even an entire city of gray dwarves combined is no match for our master. But those gray dwarves like to dig very deep holes." Cecilia looked at Leon, "Rather than attacking a city, I recommend extorting money."

Leon nodded slightly.

He had no interest in the gray dwarf cities that ruled the Underdark, but mainly wanted some rare metals.

He now gradually realized that in addition to fine gold and mithril, there are many rare metals, such as cold iron, shadow steel, abyss iron, hell iron and so on.

“I don’t know why, Master…” Cecilia couldn’t help but smile as she spoke. She really couldn’t understand how Leon developed such a character. If he wanted something, he could just rob, throw, or blackmail, but he had to find a reason. Sometimes he was so hypocritical, just like those humans.

"Those gray dwarves were planning to rob us, weren't they? That's one reason. And the master destroyed the mind flayer colony, which can be said to have helped those gray dwarves eliminate a major threat. They have to show their appreciation anyway." Cecilia asked, "What does the master think?"

"No problem." Leon thought to himself. After so many years, he still couldn't do whatever he wanted and liked to have a legitimate reason. But it was fine this way. What was the difference between completely succumbing to desires and being a beast?

"Don't eat anymore. If you can't eat anymore, don't eat anymore." Leon waved his hand and called the gray dwarves to his side. "I called you here because I want to discuss with you about your failure to abide by the agreement and robbing us."

"We are willing to be servants of the great Red Dragon." Bernhard said without hesitation.

"I... forget it, Cecilia, you talk." Leon hated trouble, so he called Cecilia over and asked her to talk to the gray dwarves.

When it comes to conspiracy, deception and extortion, he can't even catch up with Green Dragon.

While Cecilia was talking to the gray dwarves, Leon sat nearby to rest, or at least take a short break.

He is very strong, but he only has one set of skills. After you finish the three-axe attack, you can consider running away if you can't beat him. Just now, because he killed through the Mind Flayer Colony, his mana was almost exhausted. He must restore his mana now, otherwise he is only slightly stronger than an ordinary teenage red dragon.

A negotiation, or better yet, a threat.

Bernhard led the way and they all returned to the gray dwarf city.

Leon handed the main brain's body to Bernhard, and asked him to take the main brain's body to talk to the ruler of the gray dwarf city so that the other party would not confuse the big and small kings. Then he took Cecilia to find a hotel to eat and drink.

Lyon didn't know or care how Bernhard talked with the ruler of the gray dwarf city.

When the so-called Black Iron King heard that a red dragon and a green dragon were coming, he hurried to the market area and wanted to talk to them. Leon left all the responsibility to Cecilia.

When the Black Iron King was hesitating and reluctant to spend money to buy peace, Leon restored his dragon form, drew out the Blade of Cataclysm out of thin air, and cut off a stalactite with a diameter of several meters with one sword.

"The Sword of the Cliff."

"He is the Red Dragon Cliff Sword."

Leon never thought that his fame would spread to the Underdark.

Even so, there was still some tugging and Lyon successfully got a sum of money and a bunch of rare metals.

Looking at the wealth that he had extorted so easily, Lyon was not actually very happy. Instead, he felt a sense of worry.

The money comes too quickly and too easily. If he doesn't restrain himself, he will sooner or later become addicted to it and anything can happen in the end.

"What should we do now? Should we go back directly?" Cecilia already knew that Leon had looted the colony of the Mind Flayers and obtained a lot of things that could help her awaken her psychic powers. "Or do you want to go around again?"

"It's a rare trip, so I have to go around again." Leon said, "It would be a waste to just go back like this."
