Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 34 Major Discovery
Leon swung the three-headed flail in the air a few times, but it was extremely uncomfortable and the feeling was completely different from swinging a sword.

This is not surprising, the dragon's front feet are not suitable for grasping, although it can hold objects, but not accurate enough to swing weapons. He can swing the sword because the sword technique gives him proficiency in various swords, and he has no other axe or heavy hammer.

Leon continued to fiddle with the three-headed flail, and suddenly he became concerned whether this three-headed flail was the weapon bestowed upon the cultists by the demon lord Yeenoghu. Was it possible for Yeenoghu to communicate with him through the three-headed flail and promise him great power, provided that he believed in the other party?

After thinking about it, Yeenoghu would not do such a stupid thing. You know, with the temper of the red dragon, even if the evil dragon queen Tiamat was as perfunctory, I believe that maybe one day when the time is right, I will become just as powerful, and I will never succumb to a mere demon lord.

After putting away the three-headed flail, Leon began to look for spoils. He took out a money bag from the cultist, but found nothing from the other gnolls, including the Yeenoghu Fang... He naturally ignored the daggers and pitchforks with nicks and dents, although they were probably worth a few cents if sold.

He had never thought that hyena ears might have alchemical uses, but even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care, as he didn't know alchemy.

Therefore, the Samadhi True Fire cannot be used indiscriminately, otherwise there will be no gain.

Anyway, once the search for loot was over, Leon was in no mood for a dip in the water, so he held the three-headed flail and purse in his mouth, grabbed his sword, flapped his wings, and flew off to his nest.

Back in the lair, Leon put the three-headed flail and the money bag into the box and placed them together with the spoils looted from the witch. For some reason, he didn't feel sleepy at all.

For a normal dragon, the desire to build a hoard is a psychological drive, and it could even be considered a biological drive, such as appetite.

It seemed that after picking up a silver coin, Dragon Girl immediately built a treasure house and showed off in front of Leon from time to time, but she never invited him to visit and was very secretive about the location of the treasure house.

Leon had never had that idea, and he didn't care about building a treasure house. Today, after getting the three-headed flail, a rare magic weapon, he didn't know why he had the idea of ​​building a treasure house. It's hard not to admit that he was affected by the body, just as humans are actually slaves to hormones.

Leon started working right away, but because the cave was mostly made of rocks on three sides and he didn't know any magic to turn rocks into mud, he only managed to carve out a small room after struggling for a long time.

Leon put the box in the small house, took out the three-headed flail and placed it in a row, took out bottles and jars of unknown use and lined them up, and took out all the gold, silver and copper coins and scattered them on where he slept.

After doing all this, Leon looked at his treasure house with satisfaction. It was at this time that he heard a familiar ding-dong sound after several years, and he almost forgot what that ding-dong sound meant.

“Shining Treasure – Obtain a valuable magical item or work of art to build a treasure trove of your own.”

Ignore the things that don't work.

"Ordinary reward: Sky Eye Technique."

Leon jumped up.

The third eye technique, this spell sounds very familiar. Leon thought of the folk legend that was popular before the time travel. It said that as long as you rub cow's tears on your eyes, you can open your third eye and see ghosts. So the function of this spell is to see through invisibility?
Leon couldn't wait to try it. He first squinted his eyes, then stretched out his claws and wiped them in front of his eyes. He opened his eyes again and looked around. He felt that the world was no different from what he usually saw.

Could it be because there are no ghosts or any kind of spirit creatures around, and without any invisible units, naturally nothing can be seen?

I don't know where there are cemeteries and ghosts wandering around. Although he is sure that he can see ghosts and see through invisibility after opening his third eye, he wants to prove it through facts.

Blinking his eyes, Leon saw that there seemed to be a circle of black mist around the three-headed flail. So the Clairvoyance can not only detect invisibility, but also detect magic? Just like the spell Detect Magic, it allows you to detect the existence of all magic within a certain range, the faint magical aura surrounding creatures or objects, and understand the type of power of that magical aura.

Leon was about to use his clairvoyance to go for a walk, but then he thought that it was broad daylight now and he might as well take a nap and go out at night, as there would surely be many monsters and demons at night.

Leon lay down again, wondering what his golden finger was all about and the pattern of the reward appearing.

The first reward of the golden finger is the breathing technique, which is obtained after he eats a ton of food.

The second reward from the Gold Finger is the Sword Controlling Technique, which is obtained after he builds a nest.

Then the third reward was obtained after he won the fight with Dragon Girl, and he obtained a very practical control spell, Immobilization.

The fourth reward was obtained after he killed a certain adventurer...

Leon suddenly stood up. He remembered that in the DND setting, a dragon's life can be divided into four stages. The goals of the stage from young dragon to young dragon are -

Find a good spot for your first independent nest.

Establish dominance over other dragons in the litter.

Acquire a valuable magic item or work of art to build a treasure trove of your own.

Now that I think about it, every time he received a reward it seemed to correspond to those goals.

Does that mean that if he wants to get the reward, he must complete various goals of a normal red dragon, from a young dragon to an ancient dragon? As for the fact that he only has the body of a red dragon, but his soul belongs to the children of China, and the rewards change every time, that is another matter.

Leon suddenly became excited, then remembered that he was not a veteran DND fan.

He didn't finish reading the setting book, but he read some of it intermittently. Besides, there were several versions, and each version had different settings, so he often couldn't tell them apart. He also liked to confuse the official settings and the private settings in the novels... Otherwise, he wouldn't have made so many jokes in the beginning.

I have the impression that the setting book also specifically emphasizes that a dragon's goals are formed by many other factors, including allies, ideals, bonds, and flaws, and that each dragon is different.

Thinking of this, Leon suddenly became a little unhappy, but then quickly cheered up, because he knew that the dragon's goal must be to obtain followers and servants.

So now, as long as he goes back to look for those gnolls he met before and accepts them as his followers, he will definitely get a new reward. At the very least, it will prove whether his guess is correct or not.

The problem now is that he has rejected those gnolls countless times, and a good horse never turns back.

Leon only cared about his own dignity and never thought about how eagerly those ogres were looking forward to it.
