Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 418 Testing
Cecilia was very active and found Laksha who was studying the Black Book of the Dead the next day. Laksha currently lived in Watch Harbor instead of Volcano Island.

"I heard that our king gave you the Black Book of the Dead and entrusted you with an important task. No one who just joined us has ever received such great attention." Cecilia certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to ask questions. "What do you think?"

Laksha closed the Black Book of the Dead with a bitter face and said, "I can use the Black Book of the Dead to raise a large number of undead creatures, but what to do next... I have no idea."

"Don't be afraid." Cecilia said, "Isn't my sister here to help you?"

Laksha finally realized that the green dragon younger than her had been calling herself her sister. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but then she thought about her current situation. She knew that she had to bow her head when she was under someone else's roof, or that she had to hold back her fists in order to punch out. There would be plenty of opportunities to punch out in the future.

"The wisdom of our king is far beyond your imagination. When you come to our Kingdom of Zhendan, you need to abandon all outdated ideas and start learning again." Tassela was more concerned about spells, and for this reason Cecilia received the most teachings from Leon. "Let my sister teach you what advanced productivity is."

In the next few hours, Cecilia talked incessantly about the principles of assembly lines, the concept of standardized operations, etc., which made Laksha confused and gave up thinking.

"Currently, there are several factories in Watch Harbor, including a soap factory, a cotton mill, a glass factory, a fertilizer factory..." After being in this world for such a long time, Leon has done some things more or less. He doesn't just lie there doing nothing, otherwise he wouldn't have the opportunity to know everything about them as Cecilia does now.

"We need to slowly explore how to use undead creatures to replace existing workers. We can't rush it." Cecilia nodded, "We should start with the simple ones."

Laksha blinked in confusion, "What's so simple...where do I start?"

"Hmm, let me think... Undead creatures are full of negative energy and will kill life. High-level undead creatures will cause nearby plants to wither just by standing there, so it is definitely not feasible to use them for farming." Cecilia thought for a moment and clapped her hands. "Mining is the easiest. In addition to mining, we can also dig canals."

"I'll do whatever my sister says." Laksha lowered her head and took the initiative to call her sister.

Cecilia looked at Laksha and couldn't help laughing.

"I totally understand how you feel," Cecilia said. "I was just like you at the beginning. I couldn't keep up with Leon's way of thinking at all."

"In fact, even now, until now, I can only say that I barely understand part of his ideas." Cecilia continued, "You only see the tip of the iceberg. You never know how much is hidden under the water if you only look at the iceberg floating on the sea."

"Take your time. If one year isn't enough, then two years. If two years aren't enough, then three years." Cecilia patted Laksha's shoulder. "Anyway, what we dragons have the most is time... Calculate the time. It's almost lunchtime. I'll treat you to a feast."

Cecilia asked Laksha to leave. Of course, they had to eat in the government canteen, which was a small kitchen. Otherwise, how could she expect a dragon to pay for the restaurant? Only Leon would do that, and only the brass dragon would be willing to do it. The price was to chat with him all the time, and he couldn't leave without half a day.

"What do you like to eat? If you don't know what to eat, I recommend this honey roast chicken." Among the food provided by the cafeteria, Cecilia's favorite is honey roast chicken. "They use chickens that don't crow, have just grown to maturity but have not been bred, brush them with honey and put them in the oven... The skin is fragrant and crispy, and the inside is tender and juicy."

Cecilia recommended it enthusiastically, and Laksha did not refuse. She took a honey-roasted chicken and a lot of food and followed Cecilia to sit by the window.

"Enough of talking about work... Don't talk about work during meals." Cecilia held her chin and looked at Laksha, "Now how about life?"

"Life?" Laksha was eating with relish, thinking that human food still had its merits. Hearing this, he raised his head.

Cecilia suddenly blinked her left eye, a sly look flashed across her emerald pupils, and said, “You like Leon, don’t be nervous, I didn’t say you can’t. Even if I say I’m against it, it’s useless because you seem determined to win.”

Laksha wrinkled her nose.

Cecilia leaned lazily on the back of the chair, her arms folded across her chest, her eyes rippled with memories, and said: "I suddenly remembered when Leon and I just met. At that time, we were still enemies."

"Were you enemies before?" Laksha's eyes sparkled, her interest in gossip instantly ignited. "At that time, he was training in the primeval forest, and I thought he was our enemy, so I wanted to plot against him..." Cecilia bit her fork, "Luckily, I turned against him in time, turned my back on him, and turned my spearhead towards the green ghost woman. If I had hesitated for a moment, you probably wouldn't be able to see me now."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm so lucky." Cecilia said with emotion, her tone full of gratitude for surviving the disaster, "It was really the wisest decision I have ever made in my life."

"The more thrilling thing was that time..." Cecilia said emotionally, "I don't know how Leon caught His Majesty's eye. His Majesty actually appeared in my dream and asked me to help him secretly monitor Leon... In order to make me work hard, he even gave me a gift and helped me stimulate the blood of the green dragon."

"And then?" Laksha's voice sounded a little impatient. "How did you respond?"

"Of course I will tell Lyon the truth without reservation." Cecilia said, "Your Majesty is far away in Avernus, but Lyon is very close. The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Distant water cannot quench nearby thirst. Anyone with a normal mind will know what to choose... Don't you think so?"

Laksha laughed dryly, with a hint of discomfort hidden in his smile.

“I’m not talking about your majesty, I’m talking about Leon…” Cecilia pointed at the Black Book of the Dead in Laksha’s arms, “He can give you a legendary item when you meet him, there’s nothing wrong with following him.”

Laksha tightened the Black Book of the Dead and acknowledged this.

"In fact, Leon was not as powerful as he is now, but I believe he will definitely grow up in time." Cecilia looked out the window, "Thanks to my honesty that time, I gradually gained his trust... Really, he always had prejudices against green dragons, thinking that we were cunning and fickle, and full of calculations."

Laksha thought that the green dragon was so cunning, fickle and scheming, so following the green dragon's choice was also an option.

"I'm not afraid to tell you that I was like you. I also fell in love with him at first sight, but even so—" Cecilia gritted her teeth, "I was still a step behind that guy."

"Queen?" Laksha felt the same way. "If you meet a male you like, you must act quickly. Time is running out. If you wait, you will miss the opportunity. You must grab it."

“It’s my bad luck.” Cecilia sighed softly, her expression gloomy. “When I met Leon, she had been with Leon for many years.”

"She is still a blue dragon." Cecilia gritted her teeth and said, "Leon trusts blue dragons more. He thinks blue dragons are more reliable than green dragons. They value friendship, abide by their duties, and rarely fight for power. It seems that few blue dragons challenge the overlord for ruling power. Blue dragons that are dissatisfied with their overlord usually just move to a new area."

“Let’s not talk about these disappointing things.” Cecilia quickly adjusted her mood and said while eating, “Leon is very easy to talk to. It’s okay if you want to leave in the future. Just tell him openly. He won’t make things difficult for you. We can still be friends when we meet again. The only thing is that you must not betray him or betray him.”

"I know, I won't do that." Laksha promised seriously.

"That's good." Cecilia liked fruits and stuffed some into her mouth. "You are so special. You must have been very impressive among your brothers and sisters when you were a child."

"No, quite the opposite." Laksha frowned slightly, "They are jealous of my talent and band together to exclude me, but I am not afraid of them... It is because of them that I hate those dark and vicious black dragons. I swear I will never become like them."

Lunch lasted a full hour.

"I'm full, it's time for a nap." Cecilia stretched her waist and prepared to get up, but suddenly found that Laksha was still sitting there, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

Cecilia treated people with sincerity from beginning to end, without telling a single lie. Otherwise, when it comes to conspiracy and scheming, the black dragon is often as cunning as a demon and is not so easy to deal with.

Laksha raised his head slowly, with a determined light in his eyes: "I'm going to see Leon. There is something important that I must tell him in person."
