Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 369 Expensive
"You're finally here..." Leon had just finished taking a lava bath and was lying on the observation deck on the top of the volcano, enjoying the sea breeze and the scenery. He never got tired of looking at the endless sea. "What did those fire giant furnace builders say?"

Mancus looked at the giant red dragon. He couldn't imagine that he would try to attack the dragon when they first met. He took a deep breath and said, "I told the fire giant forge builders for you that if they don't help you make weapons and equipment, you will attack them, but they are not afraid of your threat."

"At worst, we can unite. Even if you are very powerful, you will never be able to survive in front of so many fire giants." Mancus said, "If all else fails, hide in the depths of a dark cave. You can't surrender to the red dragon anyway."

"You should know my personality. I am different from ordinary red dragons. I don't like killing without reason. As long as you obey me, I am easy to talk to." Leon glanced at Mancus, "I didn't ask them to pay taxes or tributes. I just wanted them to help me make weapons and equipment... If that doesn't work, then I have no other choice."

Leon sighed, shook himself off, stood up, and said, "I want to solve the problem peacefully, but someone always forces me to do so... Go ahead and tell those fire giant furnace builders that I will visit them another day."

"Don't be so anxious." Mancus smiled. The curved fangs that grew from his upper jaw to his lower lip were particularly creepy. "Although most fire giant forge builders are unwilling to help you and are not afraid of war, I still found a fire giant forge builder who is willing to help you."

"It seems that there are still people who know the times." Leon was quite satisfied and lay down again. However, Salovevis, who was sleeping next to him, was not satisfied. If there is no fighting, the horse will not grow fat without grass at night. Could it be that the income from the fiefdom is not enough to fill the gaps in the teeth?

"But can he do it?" In Leon's impression, the level of those weak bones is generally poor. "I'm not short of money. What I want is legendary weapons and equipment."

"You can be sure of that," Mancus said. "If he can't do it, no one can."

Leon wrinkled his nose, squinted his eyes, changed to a comfortable posture, and asked: "Why is he so powerful? If he is more powerful than others, why would he choose to be a coward?"

"When you get older, you always think more." Mancus said, "He is the oldest and most experienced of all the fire giant forge builders. He usually works and lives alone... But he is willing to help you build weapons and equipment, but there are a few things he needs to tell you in advance."

Leon opened his eyes and said simply: “Speak.”

"First of all, I want to say..." Mancus said with a painful look on his face, "Extremely rare weapons and equipment only cost tens of thousands of gold coins, but legendary weapons and equipment cost at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins, that is, rare materials worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins... This does not include labor, and it will cost more if labor is included."

When Leon heard what Mancus said, he narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

Most of his money was spent on purchasing alchemy materials. Together with what he had recently looted from Dragona's lair, what Dragona had compensated him for, and what he had seized from the public accounts of Night's Shadow, the total amounted to more than one million gold coins, which was enough to create at most two or three pieces of legendary weapons and equipment.

"You can go and find out." Mancus said, "This is the price of legendary weapons and equipment."

"I know...how dare you lie to me?" Leon said calmly, actually feeling quite guilty.

He originally wanted to forge six legendary swords, plus a set of legendary dragon armor, but now he can only forge one legendary sword at most… With so much money, it would be better to invest it in refining heavenly elixirs. In the future, it will cost money to transform the volcanic island into a paradise. Money will be needed everywhere.

"In addition to the cost," Mancus said, "to forge legendary weapons and equipment, you can't just use any furnace. You need a special furnace."

Mancus paused and said, "The furnace is in a special place."

"Just tell me what you want to say," Leon said. "Just tell me what you need me to do."

"The road to the furnace is very dangerous, and I need your escort all the way there." Mancus said, "And I'll need your protection during the forging process." "It's so troublesome, can't it be simpler?" Leon said with disgust, "I just want legendary weapons and equipment, not artifacts. If he can forge artifacts, it doesn't matter if the cost is a little higher, and it's acceptable if it's a little more troublesome."

"Where is the furnace?" Lyon continued to ask.

Mancus spread his hands and said, "Don't ask me, I'm just responsible for passing on the message."

Leon raised his paw and said, "Okay, I get it."

After Mancus left, Lyon immediately began to think about whether he should pursue legendary weapons and equipment.

He actually prefers a mage to a warrior.

Instead of activating the Three-Headed, Six-Armed Dharmakāya, drawing out six large swords and then slashing at close range, he used Palm Thunder, Samadhi True Fire, and Samadhi Divine Wind more often.

From this point of view, there is really no need to spend so much money, not to mention that sharp teeth and claws can be used.

Unable to make up his mind, Leon turned to look at Saloveise and asked, "What do you think?"

"I suggest killing all those fire giants." Sarovith is a chaotic evil red dragon. "Brother gave them a chance to show off, but they actually wanted money. Do they prefer money to their lives?"

"Let's do it." Saloves shouted, "Gather the troops and charge to the Lost Plateau. I am willing to be my brother's pioneer."

“I’m just asking you, is it worth spending hundreds of thousands of gold coins to create a legendary sword?” Leon said, “Don’t talk about anything else.”

"Of course it's not worth it." Saloves said, "It's too expensive, really too expensive... Extremely rare weapons and equipment can be used, and they only cost tens of thousands of gold coins. Even a complete set will not cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins."

Leon was thoughtful, thinking that a car worth tens of thousands of dollars can be driven, and a luxury car worth millions can also be driven. Strictly speaking, the latter is not much better than the former. They both have to run on the road and cannot fly. Legendary weapons and equipment are more powerful than extremely rare weapons and equipment, but they cannot produce a qualitative change.

Red dragons are all misers. Leon felt that he should not listen to Sarovice's advice, so he turned to find Tassera and wanted to hear what she had to say.

"You asked Sarovice, and she said it wasn't worth it. You came to ask me again, which means you are willing in your heart." Tassela said bluntly, "You just want someone to support you."

"Isn't it just a few hundred thousand gold coins?" Tassera was open-minded, or as a magic dragon, she didn't care that much about money. "As long as you are happy."

"Then make one." Leon thought that he would not activate his three-headed and six-armed Dharma body all the time during the battle. Under normal circumstances, one sword would be enough to use the sword control technique. "Just one."
