Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 416 Carrot

Leon first took Laksha to visit the magnificent government building and sent Cecilia back to the office.

"I drew the blueprint of this government building myself." Leon said proudly, raising his hand and patting the marble exterior wall of the government building. "The first floor is the government service center, with one point for each department, which makes it convenient for citizens to handle affairs and saves time running back and forth."

"Yes. Our director of engineering is a brass dragon, a metal dragon." Leon glanced at Laksha, "In my place, there is only a distinction between insiders and outsiders."

After seeing Cecilia off and visiting the government building, Leon took Laksha for a stroll on the bustling streets of Watch Harbor. The midday sun cast a halo on Laksha's smooth long hair, and the handsome man and beautiful woman attracted many glances from passers-by.

“Watchport is very prosperous now, right?” Lyon pointed at the numerous shops and the busy docks. “When I first came here, it was just a small port city…”

"If you want to work in Watch Harbor..." Leon turned around, "You must abide by the rules here."

"Of course." Leon paused, "As a dragon, you have privileges that surpass those of ordinary people."

Leon is not stupid enough to play the game of equality for all in this world with extraordinary powers without knowing how to adapt to local conditions... Speaking of which, not everyone was equal in the world before the time travel. Some people were always more equal than others.

"If you don't like restrictions and hate red tape, you can apply to be sent out. There are not so many rules out there... The forests, swamps, and seas far away from Watch Harbor need strong people to take charge." Lyon said, "Queen Tassela's cousin is the governor out there."

You don’t need to walk the entire length of Watch Harbor, just take a quick walk around it.

"Come on, I'll take you for a flight." Leon returned to his dragon form and turned into a super giant red dragon... Now the citizens of Watch Harbor are no longer surprised to see dragons, so he took Laksha around for a tour, first to the swamp, as he thought Laksha might like the swamp, then to the Emerald Corridor, and finally back to the Volcano Island from the Glittering Sea.

At this time, they were sitting in the pavilion in the back garden of Lyon Villa.

Leon took a scone from the three-tier cake stand filled with pastries, ate it in a few bites, then took a sip of the steaming red tea cup and asked slowly, "After seeing all this, what do you think of our Zhendan Kingdom?"

Laksha replied, "I have never seen a dragon whose territory is more vast than that of Lord Lyon."

"It's not my territory." Leon swung the red teacup gracefully, with a hint of cunning at the corner of his mouth, "It's the territory of the Kingdom of Zhendan, and it belongs to everyone...including you, if you are willing."

Laksha's nostrils twitched slightly, obviously not fooled by Leon's words.

Leon smiled nonchalantly, took another macaron, and prepared to show his trump card.

“Excuse me,” Leon leaned forward, “How much savings does Miss Laksha have?”

Leon noticed that Laksha almost immediately tensed up, her face full of vigilance, he laughed and added: “Don’t worry, Miss Laksha, unless your savings exceed one million gold coins, even I would be tempted by that much money, and you just happened to provoke me… Obviously, neither of these two points is true.

Leon waited for ten seconds, but the black-haired girl still had no intention of speaking. She drooped her shoulders and said, “Okay, you don’t have to say it if you don’t want to.”

"It's just... a few tens of thousands of gold coins." Laksha still spoke, "I'm sure it won't be worthy of Lord Leon's eyes."

"It's really not worth mentioning and not worth my attention." Leon leaned back.

Laksha gritted his teeth, obviously not convinced. It was already amazing to have saved tens of thousands of gold coins as an adult.

"I won't talk about my queen, my wife, my mother and my sister, but the silver dragon Isilie." Leon said, "She is a teenage dragon, and she was an adventurer when she met me... She didn't want to kill, rob and plunder, so she could only make money by being an adventurer. I'm afraid her entire family's belongings wouldn't even be enough to make up a thousand gold coins."

“But how many years have you followed me?” Leon paused, deliberately keeping the question a secret, and saw Laksha’s pupils gradually widen. “Let’s do the math, I wonder if you have saved up 100,000 gold coins… Maybe not 100,000 gold coins, but 50,000 gold coins will definitely be no problem.”

"Why are there so many?" Leon said, "Because I have benefits, I never forget everyone." "To be honest, it's rare to go out and earn tens of thousands of gold coins. You may not encounter it once in many years. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity." Leon crossed his arms, "Working for me, the salary and benefits are different depending on the position. For example, as the Prime Minister, Cecilia can earn a few thousand gold coins a year. It's not a problem."

"Really give money?" Laksha's voice trembled with disbelief.

"Absolutely true." Leon looked directly into Laksha's eyes, without the slightest hesitation.

"Can you afford it?" Laksha said. She still had some knowledge and was not so easily deceived.

“First of all, not everyone has an annual salary as high as Cecilia’s. Secondly—” Leon said, “Do you think Watch Harbor relies solely on taxation? In addition to taxation, Watch Harbor’s income also comes from various state-owned enterprise profits, real estate development, bank loans, fines and confiscations, plus welfare lottery… I make money in ways you can’t imagine.”

Laksha shook his head and said, “I don’t understand.”

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just know that I have money." Leon said, "Follow me and you will have meat to eat."

Laksha bit her lips tightly.

“Besides,” Leon nodded slightly, “you won’t forget Cecilia so quickly.”

Laksha shakes her head.

“Who do you think is stronger, you or her?” Either he would offend Cecilia or admit defeat. Leon did not make it difficult for Laksha to give an answer, “They are equally matched.”

"You definitely don't know -" Leon said, "She was a skinny, weak green dragon decades ago, attacking an elven village and colluding with goblins and green hags."

“Can you imagine that?” Leon said quickly, “With her current strength, she can fight against an old green dragon and won’t lose too much.”

"It is true that there is a gift from our Majesty to stimulate her bloodline, but it only turns her back into a normal green dragon... You should know our Majesty's character very well." Leon did not continue. Sometimes it is more useful to say nothing. He changed the subject and said, "Have you noticed? What is different about this volcanic island?"

"I noticed." Laksha licked her lips, her wet lips were particularly tempting, "I see everyone lives here, can I live here too in the future?"

“It’s hard to say.” Leon said in a long tone, “Not everyone can live on a volcanic island.”

"What are the requirements to live here?" Laksha asked.

"Salamanders are elemental creatures..." Laksha nodded thoughtfully, "I found that there are no males on the volcanic island except for salamanders."

Laksha grabbed Leon’s hand and said, “I can do it.”

Laksha is not an ordinary black dragon, but it is a black dragon. In line with its fierce reputation, black dragons often fight for mates. Females do most of the fighting, flying around, looking for a satisfactory male, and then impressing him with their victory over the opponent.

"What are you talking about?" This time it was Leon's turn to be confused. He tried to pull his hand out of Laksha's hand. "Girls should love themselves, and ladies should be reserved..."

"I am willing to do anything for Lord Leon," said Laksha.

What is the mission assigned by Majesty Tiamat?
First, she used her charm to squeeze out the blue dragon, green dragon, and bronze dragon beside the red dragon and take the position... Really, how could she have that ability? She hadn't even seen the bronze dragon yet, but the blue dragon and the green dragon were not inferior to her, right? And then what's next?
Laksha had long forgotten the task that was assigned to her.

Logically speaking, Tiamat should be very clear about the character of the colorful dragons she created, so why would she have such unrealistic ideas?
