Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 417 I'm worried

Leon admitted that Laksha was charming. He was breathtakingly beautiful in both dragon and human form, but he was not such a casual person. He had principles and integrity, and so far he had only had three women.

"Just being willing to do it is not enough." Leon said seriously, "The key is what you can do and what you know how to do."

"I, I'm an adult!" Laksha looked at Leon eagerly, "I can give birth to the best offspring for Lord Leon."

Leon had a stern face, so after being in this world for so long, did he finally meet a nymphomaniac?
"Can you cast spells?" Leon asked himself.

"Yes." Laksha leaned forward, pressing her plump breasts against the table, "I know a lot of spells."

"Necromancy?" Leon continued to ask, thinking that black dragons like to team up with creatures that are easy to control and not easy to betray. The most ideal subordinates are unconscious undead creatures, creepers, carnivorous plants, mud monsters and constructs, all of which are generally keen on necromancy.

"I'm not an ordinary black dragon. In addition to necromancy, I'm also proficient in other spells." Laksha counted on his fingers, "For example, I know prophecy and enchantment spells..."

“No, no, no, you’re wrong.” Leon shook his hand and said, “In fact, what I value most is your mastery of necromancy. No one around me is good at necromancy.”

Laksha tilted her head slightly, and her long black hair fell from her shoulders. She was very puzzled, because in her understanding, red dragons that worshipped destruction and fire were rarely interested in the cold and gloomy necromancy.

"Do you know what I lack the most now?" Leon said, "The Kingdom of Zhendan has plenty of land, but not enough people. What worries me most is cheap labor."

"Undead creatures that have no self-awareness, don't complain or be lazy, and don't need food or rest are definitely the best labor force." Leon became excited. He had wanted to do this for a long time, to pull all those undead creatures to work in the factory and on the assembly line, but he had no chance. Today he finally saw hope.

“Not only that, undead creatures are not afraid of cold or heat, or illness.” Leon added, “They can adapt to any environment.”

Laksha was not stupid and quickly realized what Leon wanted to do. It was hard to imagine who would go to such great lengths to plan something like making the undead work.

Leon also wanted to say that the king was like this, and all his subjects had to do was devote themselves to their work, obey orders, and work hard, but the king had a lot of things to consider.

"Low-level undead creatures only act according to literal orders. They never think about the specific tasks given by their masters. They only mechanically understand and execute them. Although they can use weapons to attack, wear armor, load and fire crossbows and catapults, they still find it difficult to adapt to complex tasks."

Laksha carefully organized his words and continued, "As for those advanced undead creatures..."

"If they can wield weapons, then they can wield pickaxes, that's enough." Leon patted the table and said, "I don't need those skeletons and zombies to do any complicated work, just some work like mining, digging, and carrying crude benzene."

Laksha also felt that he couldn't spoil the fun, but things were not that simple, so he said, "Undead creatures don't need to eat or drink, but they also need negative energy to move... Either the caster can infuse them with dark vitality, or they can awaken themselves in a place filled with death and destruction."

"This is easy." Leon said, "I have a Black Book of the Dead in my hand. It's almost moldy now. It's a legendary artifact from the witch king Suosis of the ancient fallen empire."

"The Black Book of the Dead?" Laksha muttered to himself, thoughtfully, "I seem to have heard of that name."

"If it is confirmed to be a legendary item, it can provide energy and vitality for many undead creatures." Laksha nodded. "If it is only for providing energy for low-level undead such as skeletons and zombies, it will not be difficult to provide hundreds or thousands of them. As for tens of thousands... I have to see the real thing before I can say anything."

"We used the Identification Spell, a genuine legendary item." Leon recalled, "I remember that it can make the necromancy spells you cast more powerful. It can also summon mummies, control undead creatures, resurrect the dead, and even perform rituals to transform living people into powerful mummy lords."

"And then?" Laksha said, "Master Leon wants to use it as a source of energy?"

"Yes." Leon said, "I can give it to you. If you have the confidence to help me raise a group of undead creatures to work."

"Give it to me?" Laksha was a little confused. "A legendary item."

The material cost of a legendary item could be as high as 500,000 gold coins.

"Yes." Leon asked back, "Can't you control it?"

Laksha felt his breathing become rapid, and asked worriedly, "Aren't you afraid that I will abscond with the treasure?"

"You don't think that the Fire God's heir I killed was a fake, do you?" Leon laughed so hard that the whole pavilion seemed to shake. "Don't you know that it has been transmitted to the material plane now? Perhaps you can inquire about what happened recently on the bloody battlefield of Avernus." "Let's go, I'll take you to see the Black Book of the Undead." Leon stood up and thought that although the space in his sleeves was large, it would not hold useless things, especially those things that had huge energy but were difficult to use.

Leon took Laksha to the treasury, which was located in the castle on the mountain. In addition to the fire lizard, there was also a guest appearance by Saloveith to guard it, which could be considered as a waste of resources.

Leon found the Black Book of the Dead, which was placed in the most conspicuous place, and picked it up and handed it to Laksha.

The ancient golden cover gave off a bone-chilling chill. Laksha, who was holding the Black Book of the Dead, was shaking with both hands. He murmured, "This is a legendary item, and it's very powerful... Are you sure it's okay to give it to me?"

"The right to use it is not the right to own it." Leon emphasized, "As long as you are still working for me, then it is yours, because I have no use for it... Speaking of which, this book contains a lot of dark knowledge, you can study it at will."

Laksha's slender fingertips gently stroked the inscription on the cover of the Black Book of the Dead. Thinking of what Leon had just said, she was now sure that the promises were all true. At the same time, she understood why so many dragons were willing to submit to the other party, including colored dragons and metal dragons... The money was real, and the things were real, without any water at all.

Unlike so-and-so, who only talks but does nothing.

"No, I can't have it." Laksha suddenly pushed the Black Book of the Dead to Leon.

"Why?" Leon asked in confusion, "I don't want you even if you give me money. I don't want your body, don't worry."

"You don't want my body, so I feel uneasy." Laksha tightly grasped Leon's collar, her pretty face flushed, and she was a little shy. "Well, don't worry, this is my first time, and I don't smell rotten."

"Take me," Laksha said, "and take my treasure."

Leon's expression twisted and he asked, "Do you want it or not?"

"want."

……

……

It was evening.

"How was your talk with Laksha?" Cecilia sat on Leon's lap and hugged his neck.

Leon told her everything that happened in the afternoon, and when he talked about Laksha returning the Black Book of the Dead, Cecilia couldn't help but burst into a barbell-like laughter.

“Hahahahaha——” Cecilia laughed so hard that she leaned forward and backward. “You took out a legendary item right away... I would be nervous too.”

Leon pursed his lips and said nothing.

"But the master is right. We can't agree to her easily." Cecilia is used to calling Leon the master, swinging her long, straight legs and saying, "I can see that she is greedy for the master now. She is always restless when she can't get what she wants. It's cheap to get what is too easy. We don't want to be cheap men."

Leon glanced at Cecilia sideways, raised his fist, and clenched it so hard that it made a creaking sound.

"Seriously. I've thought about it." Cecilia suddenly became serious. "Laksha didn't know the master beforehand, and didn't know that the master was so generous... She is quite powerful and can dominate the area and occupy any swamp or forest to do whatever she wants. Why did she go to the master?"

"Go on." Leon is not an arrogant red dragon who thinks he is the best in the world and it is normal for anyone to come to him for help.

"I suspect she has ulterior motives," Cecilia said. "I'm going to test her."

“You can try it.” Leon said indifferently, “Anyway, if there is a problem, it’s your own decision.”

"Yes, yes, our king is never wrong." Cecilia said, "It is the minister who is wrong."
