Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 41 Knowledge Increased
In Leon's eyes, the distinction between day and night was no longer so strict. In fact, for various reasons, he went out more often at night, and traveling in the dark had no effect on him.

The abandoned fortress is a little distance away from Leon's nest. If he walks there, it will probably take at least an hour or two. But for Leon who can fly, without taking a detour and with a fast flying speed, he can easily get there in a few minutes.

Leon quickly returned to his nest, threw the box aside, looked around, and then curled up on his bed with his tail in his arms to sleep.

It is true that he took a short nap in the afternoon, but it was far from enough. After a busy day, Leon really needed a good rest to restore his spirit and recover enough mana consumed by the Samadhi True Fire.

Although a long rest is not limited to sleep, as long as you relax, and taking a comfortable bath with your eyes closed, it definitely counts, but sleep is always the best effect.

The cicadas chirped non-stop, and the breeze blew, making the shadows of the trees sway.

Leon slept until noon and woke up with an empty stomach.

Leon shook his neck. He was just about to go out hunting when he saw half of a giant wild boar. He remembered that he had hunted a giant wild boar yesterday and had eaten half of it and brought it back to the nest.

The dragon's nest located halfway up the mountain is not accessible to all animals. The steep mountain walls cannot be climbed without the ability to climb over the eaves and walls. Even so, Leon still found that a lot of his meat had been stolen, and he didn't know what bird or eagle did it.

Leon didn't care about the loss, bit the giant boar's leg, tossed his head hard and tore off a large piece of meat, chewed it twice and swallowed it. The hard bones of the giant boar were no different from finger biscuits to Leon.

While eating raw wild boar meat, Leon recalled the wild boar meat he had eaten in the orc camp yesterday. The wild boar meat was cooked by the orcs. It was not only roasted, but also sprinkled with a little salt. He didn't know where they got the salt, but he felt that there was a big difference in the taste of the two.

I could have endured the darkness without having seen the light, and Lyon really didn't have so many thoughts without having eaten cooked meat.

Leon thought about the possibility of going to the orc camp every day to get free food and drink.

After hesitating for a long time, Leon finally rejected it. He was worried that he would be too soft-hearted to accept the favor and would be reluctant to return the favor in the future... Indeed, normal red dragons often take advantage of others and get things done. There is a huge difference between chaotic evil and lawful evil, but he could not be so shameless as to completely transform himself into a red dragon in body and mind in just a few years.

Leon continued to eat raw wild boar meat, thinking that ordinary fire breath would not work, and Samadhi True Fire was a big move and could not be used casually. This was the only way for the time being. However, next time he hunted, he could try to bleed the prey. After bleeding, it should not be so smelly... Uncastrated pigs just have a smell.

After eating, as a red dragon, a true fire dragon, Leon didn’t require much water, so he remembered to pack up the things he brought back yesterday.

First the books were taken out, then the jewelry... and finally, as usual, all the money was spread on his bed as a decoration, including the gems.

No, Leon suddenly found a problem. The money he had to decorate his bed had become less. As a red dragon, he had the most basic qualities of a red dragon. Even if a coin was missing, it would be enough to attract his attention, not to mention that there was far more than one coin missing.

It's understandable that the meat is missing, but what about the money? And if all the money is missing, it can be explained by a thief breaking into the house, but who would have done it if only a few or a dozen coins were missing?
Lyon thought about it for less than a minute and came up with a conclusion. He must be a crow, or some bird. In order to win the love of female birds, male birds of many species always like to collect some shiny things, such as coins, gems, shells, etc., to decorate their nests.

It was obvious that his lair was visited by these little things and taken away without permission.

The red dragon is an obsessive collector who values ​​its treasures above all else. Noticing a missing coin will ignite his rage, and he will hunt down the thief without mercy. But if he encounters a small bird thief, he probably won't be able to do anything. How can a giant beast of dozens of meters tall chase a palm-sized bird?
Originally, Leon didn't value money that much, and he wasn't in the mood for it, but he still knew to learn from his mistakes. In order to prevent the bird thief from coming again, he collected his money again and put it in a box...all the valuable things in the treasury were put into the box.

There are many flying thieves in this world. Today I was lucky enough to meet a bird thief, but I may not be so lucky next time.

Anyway, he has already obtained the reward by building the treasury. Now he can put away his bows when the birds are gone and cook his running dogs when the rabbits are dead.

It was not enough to put all the treasures into the box. Leon picked up his box and walked around the mountain. Then he found a hidden place to bury the box. He also camouflaged the soil. Now he didn't have to worry about thieves at all.

Leon can now read books with peace of mind. These books were specially found by the orcs from the abandoned fortress. I don't think anyone will steal them.

Some of the books are damaged and cannot be read, but the words on some of the books are still quite clear and can be read.

He didn't look at the kitchen shopping list, the weapons storage list, or any other records. He could just read someone's diary to kill time, read the teachings of God, or read a local goblin observation report when he was bored... Leon finally chose a travel notebook.

All in all, Lyon's life returned to normal. Because he had a lot of books to read, he even stayed at home more than before. Except for hunting and absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, he hardly went out.

It turns out that the name of the human empire is Gio, which is on the decline, but a weak camel is bigger than a horse. The kingdom in the northern frozen wasteland is called Beren, but the frozen wasteland is not only Beren, there are many barbarian tribes in this uncivilized area on the edge of civilization.

An alliance called the Talia Alliance is made up of many small countries and city-states, relying on the alliance to barely resist invasions from all sides of the empire.

Not only Faerûn, but this world also has an Underdark, beneath the surface, where deformed, evil creatures live to avoid the sunlight.

On the surface, goblins, bugbears, and hobgoblins should belong to different races, just like halflings, dwarves, and elves. It was the god of conquest, Magrubiye, who united them and turned the three races into one nation, the goblins.

Leon lived like this for a whole month until he finished reading the book. Now his understanding of the world has increased a lot, and it has also been supplemented a lot.
