Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 30 Lying down
This is an afterthought.

Today, Leon finally understood why the goddess was unwilling to give the dog a good look, because just a good look or a nice word would be enough for the dog to get close to her like a chicken with blood, and it would be difficult for the dog to live in peace from then on.

Leon was sure that he was the one who reminded those ogres to pick up scraps, giving them the illusion that he could accept ogres as his followers, so those ogres desperately found his lair and began to harass him, causing his life to no longer be peaceful.

"Owner."

"I am not your master."

“This is the mushroom we found.”

“I don’t eat mushrooms… or bugs.”

Lyon is long past the days of having to survive on mushrooms and bugs.

"This is the copper coin that Martin found. I want to give it to its owner."

"One copper coin. Keep it for yourself."

"The master's lair looks a little small, let us help expand it."

"You guys are really annoying."

Those gnolls always looked flattering, saying they wanted to help him expand the lair, and shouting that a red dragon's lair must be large, and that any good things they found would be immediately given to him... Leon really had a hard time resisting the urge to kill them.

"This can't go on like this."

"Let's just teach them a lesson. The Red Dragon's orders cannot be disobeyed."

"Such a loyal lickspittle might be useful in the future."

"How can I, a red dragon, hide from them? Just a few kobolds...wait, that doesn't seem impossible."

Dragons without parental care usually relocate once when they are young. The reason for this is simple: after a dragon has hunted in one area for several years, the location of its original lair may be discovered by outsiders, or the area around the lair may become lacking in prey.

Leon thought about it. The place where he lived now had fewer prey than before. Although it was enough for him to eat and drink now, it was obviously not going to last long. At most, he could only support himself for a few months or half a year. In this case, he would have to move in a while anyway, so he might as well move a few days in advance.

Leon did what he said. He took his belongings and flew away in front of those ogres without mercy.

Compared to before, after growing from a dragon hatchling to a young dragon, and having just acquired new equipment, Leon, whose strength has greatly increased, has more places to choose from to settle down.

He already had the life of a hag who could perform lair actions on his hands, so ogres, trolls, and even hill giants, unless they were a family of hill giants, were not enough to stop him, and monsters stronger than him might not be found without specifically searching for them.

Monsters usually only wander around in their own territory, that small piece of land. Adventurers are the only ones they need to worry about, because they are the only ones running around and like to form a team of four, five, six or seven people, with melee and ranged combat, physical and magical, as well as healing. It is impossible to cope with them without some skills.

In short, with the experience of finding a settlement, Leon didn't spend too much time to find a suitable settlement this time. In the direction away from the mother dragon's territory, he found a lush forest. As always, the first thing Leon did after finding a settlement was to dig a hole.

Then, when building a nest for the first time, Leon could be busy all day with great enthusiasm without feeling tired.

With experience, Lyon was much more efficient in digging holes the second time he built a nest, and many shortcomings of the nest were effectively improved.

By the third time of building a nest, Leon was not very interested anymore. It seemed that it felt great to complete the game once, and with experience, one could have a lot of fun in the second round by crushing the whole game. But I'm afraid no one would persist in the third round.

As a result, Lyon was a little careless in building his nest this time. He worked for three days and rested for two days. He thought that with his current strength, there was really no need to be so careful. He simply chose a cave halfway up the mountain and simply knocked and hammered it to use as a nest.

He was breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth all the time, and it had been completely integrated with his normal breathing. He could only absorb the essence of the sun and the moon at the beginning and middle of each month. In the rest of the time, apart from foraging and sleeping, Leon would just flip through the books he had looted from the witch, and occasionally go out for a walk and bask in the sun.

After living in the new place for half a month, Leon saw a saber-toothed tiger for the first time. Without waiting for the tiger to get close, he spotted it from a distance and immediately turned and ran away, disappearing over the hill in the blink of an eye.

The giant wild boar is much larger than the ordinary wild boar, and of course it is more difficult to deal with, but one giant wild boar is enough for Leon to eat for several days.

Adult dragons possess vast territories, vast treasures, and a large number of servants, and these things are not accumulated after they reach adulthood.

Given the opportunity, a young dragon is most concerned with the size of its territory, other than establishing an independent status, valuable magic items or works of art to build its own treasury, servants who can bring food and treasure, and so on.

Leon is not a normal dragon. He is not interested in territory, servants, or even treasure. He just throws away the spoils looted from the hag. What he cares most about are the few books he got from the hag. Ever since he got a sword that suits him, he feels that he has nothing to pursue. He just eats and sleeps every day.

After a while of this, Leon found that he seemed to have gained weight.

At first, Leon didn't believe that he had gained weight. He thought he had just grown up, and his belly would naturally grow larger as his body grew larger. When the primordial bag dropped, he finally gave in. Facts speak louder than words.

No, that's not right. The primordial pouch is used to store energy. Cats living in the wild are likely to have no food to eat next time, so they need to store energy. They often eat a large amount of food at one time, and most of it will be stored in the primordial pouch to resist hunger.

Primal bags are not the same as obesity.

Even after that period of comfortable life, it was not enough for him to grow into a little fat boy.

Thinking of this, Lyon felt relieved for the time being.

The question now was why did dragons have primordial pouches? That was unique to cats, right? Yes, despite the scales and wings, the dragon's physical features were more like those of a cat than a lizard, although he still thought that the place where a dragon stored energy should be its tail, a fat tail.

It's just that the primordial bag grew out, not that he got fat, but he still had to be wary of obesity. Lyon didn't want to become like a fat dragon named Hibochard, who couldn't fly or crawl.

I can't go on like this. I can't just lie down and sleep after eating every day. I have to go out for a walk every day and eat something other than offal and fat. Lyon made up his mind.
