Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 228: Can't Relax Yet

Leon doesn't like to be busy. Although he has traveled to several cities alone with a backpack for more than half a month, he still likes to stay at home watching movies and playing games when he has nothing to do. He only goes out shopping when someone invites him. For this reason, he wants to stay on the volcanic island forever.

He is really satisfied with his current life.

Now, every day when he wakes up, the tiefling maids will bring him carefully cooked food. There are many kinds of food, including everything that can fly in the sky, walk on the ground, and swim in the water. However, he has always suffered from decision-making difficulties and often does not know what to eat. In the end, he usually has to let others choose for him.

After eating and drinking, you can go to the castle located in the crater to take a lava bath, play with lava land sharks or magma axolotls, or arrange for everyone to play cards or chess. If there are few people, you can play poker. If there are many people, you can play the Monopoly game he invented. No one can refuse mahjong.

However, perhaps he could live such a carefree life in the future, at least not now. Although he could still stay on the volcanic island, he couldn't relax.

The volcanic island was successfully transformed into a Feng Shui treasure land, but the transformation is not successful and everything is fine. No more investment is needed. Subsequent use and maintenance are a big problem. It is like buying a car, but the annual insurance, maintenance and fuel costs are difficult to bear.

The rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the volcanic island that has now become a Feng Shui treasure land did not appear out of thin air. It mainly relies on storing wind and gathering energy, which will also be consumed. If there are too many residents on the volcanic island, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will not be enough to cover the expenditure.

In those myths and legends, a Feng Shui treasure land or a blessed land often has only one immortal’s dojo, where only a immortal and his disciples live. It cannot be built into a big city, allowing everyone to move in and then “everyone can practice martial arts”. There is a reason for this.

Find the problem and solve the problem.

It turned out that there were many fire-breathing salamanders living on the volcanic island. As the volcano was awakened, they built castles and villas on the volcanic island and rushed to live on other islands early.

The tiefling maids certainly couldn't leave. Who would take care of him if they left?

Once Tassera builds the wizard tower on the volcanic island and places protective spells and magic traps everywhere, there will be no need to worry so much about shameful thieves, and most of the guards can be laid off.

Many workers did not leave immediately after transforming the volcanic island into a Feng Shui treasure land. After driving away all the workers and irrelevant people, the number of residents on the volcanic island has obviously decreased, and Leon no longer has to worry about the efficiency of breathing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The consumption problem has been solved. If you cannot increase revenue, then you should cut costs. Next is the maintenance issue. A Feng Shui site must maintain a balance between yin and yang and the five elements.

The area around a dragon's lair changes because of the dragon's presence. For example, the area around a red dragon's lair often experiences small earthquakes, water sources warm up due to supernatural forces and become polluted with sulfur, and rock fissures become portals to the elemental plane of fire...

However, a dragon's close connection to the Material Plane takes time to develop, and a dragon's power does not truly manifest until it has spent nearly a century in a lair.

In this case, neither Tassera, Cecilia nor Saloveis will affect the balance of the five elements on the volcanic island, so the only one left is the fire giant, the lord of flames. His existence may cause too many fire elements on the volcanic island.

In fact, Leon was quite optimistic about the Fire Giant. After all, he had used it for many years and was very familiar with it. But there was nothing he could do. He could only call the Fire Giant to his front with tears in his eyes.

"Selim." Leon looked at the tall and mighty fire giant, "Do you remember how we met?"

"Remember." The fire giant replied.

"Now that I think about it, it's true that we didn't know each other until we fought," Leon recalled. "I just heard that there was a steam lake there, so I ran over to take a look out of boredom. If you hadn't doubted me and attacked me, I wouldn't have taken your territory, and we wouldn't have ended up in a situation where we were almost dead."

"At that time, I was too ignorant to realize my own limitations." The Fire Giant sighed.

He has now completely submitted to Leon. He has never seen such a powerful red dragon that grows so fast. Although he could have defeated him at the beginning, he was only a few points better than him. He couldn't stay even if he wanted to leave. In just over a decade, it was easy to kill him. He would not be given a chance to escape. "Let's not talk about that." Leon waved his hand and said, "You promised to serve me for 30 years. Now more than half of it has passed... As a housekeeper, security captain, and contractor, you have done your best over the years. I have seen it all."

"What does your Excellency want to say?" asked the Fire Giant.

"The Fire Giants are hypocritical, cunning, cruel and ruthless. They like to plunder the material plane and the elemental plane and capture slaves from them and bring them back home. They regard all other creatures as enemies or potential serfs, but despise the act of forcibly enslaving themselves." Leon said, "You must hate your current life and dream of escaping."

The fire giant opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He vaguely guessed something and was somewhat expectant, but also afraid that Leon was trying to trick him.

"I won't let you go completely free, but I can give you freedom to a certain extent." Leon breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if the fire giant stayed on the volcanic island, the fire element would become more vigorous. If it left, it might cause the volcano to go dormant again. Fortunately, there was the Lava Land Shark with elemental power churning in its body, otherwise it would be difficult to solve.

The fire giant does not need to breathe, and his chest will not rise and fall with breathing, but the flames all over his body will change with his mood. The jumping flames at this time prove that he is excited.

"A fire giant like you will definitely not be willing to be bound by me on a small volcanic island." Leon certainly would not "abandon" the fire giant, "I now allow you to leave the volcanic island and go to the Lost Plateau to find a volcano to establish your own territory and power."

The fire giant said nothing, waiting quietly for Leon to continue.

"I don't care whether you enslave dwarves, mine with fire giants, continue to engage in the great cause of robbery, or do anything else?" Leon said, "You left me, and I allow you to use my name, as long as you pay tribute on time every month."

"There were indeed some unpleasantness in the past. I hope we can be friends in the future." Leon crossed his arms. "I know that the fire giant despises the act of forcibly enslaving itself, and will not tire of taking revenge on those who offend it. I hope you won't do that."

"I dare not." The fire giant said hurriedly. Who said the difference in strength between the two sides was so huge? He felt that the red dragon in front of him was more powerful than the giant nobles, but not as powerful as the sultans and caliphs.

The reason why Leon sent the fire giants out was not only because the volcanic island did not need them, but also because he was now broke. It was also the reason why he could not relax, as he had spent all his money on transforming the volcanic island.

Even though Leon didn't care about money and wasn't busy making money like other dragons, he still felt a little panicked and insecure when he had no money at all.

With Lyon's current strength, ordinary cities can't stop him except for those big cities, but he doesn't want to become notorious. Although he is already a representative of the evil dragon, he would rather make money through taxation, business and other means if possible.

His idea was simple: coming from Earth, mastering so much knowledge, and having such a strong backing, if he still couldn't make money, that would be too lame.

Leon thought about inventing soap, but soap already existed in the world. He also thought about inventing a method of making salt, but how much was salt worth? If he knew how to make soy sauce and MSG, he would surely make a lot of money. Unfortunately, he found out that MSG was extracted from kelp, and then there was no more.

The Githyanki nurseries have not yet been built, at least until the nurseries are built. Githyanki will come to Overwatch to trade. Even if the Githyanki only bring stolen goods, as long as the price is right, the capitalists will sell the rope to hang themselves.

Leon thought of the Cloud Giants. The Cloud Giants were robbed by Angmog and became paupers. Because the status of the Cloud Giants is determined by money, they are now desperate for money. It just so happens that they have a very flexible mind, so perhaps they can be contacted.

There is an elf city to the east of Watch Harbor. Since he ruled Watch Harbor, no one has come to Watch Harbor to do business. He used to be too lazy to deal with those guys, but now he feels that he must talk to those elves and ask them if they discriminate against him.

Leon decided to talk to the cloud giant himself, and then let Cecilia communicate with the elf city.
