Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 451 Brainwashing
Either he procrastinates or just muddles through, but once he makes up his mind, Lyon's ability to act is quite amazing.

That night, Leon did not go to any of his mates' nests to rest as usual, but locked himself in the study, preparing to write an educational manual or something to provide Sharon with a systematic education. Unfortunately, he racked his brains but got nothing.

It has to be said that the knowledge in his head is too messy and complicated. If it is not needed, even he can't remember it.

Lyon was unwilling to give up, and crumpled up countless balls of paper. Finally, he thought of a saying - reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep for a while. The next morning, he immediately went to the Mage Tower to find Tassera and announced that he would take Sharon out to travel.

"Where are you going?" Tassela's sharp eyes glanced back and forth between the father and daughter.

"I don't know where to go, so let's just go wherever we can." Leon held Sharon and sat on the bed, his chin resting on his daughter's head. "We are not going out to play, not to have fun, but to study. See the world and understand life."

"If you're just going out to play, I'd feel more at ease." Tassela looked at Leon suspiciously, "Don't teach our daughter bad things."

"How about leaving it to you? You'll take her to do experiments every day, learn magic and hunting? In the end, she won't know anything about the ways of the world." Leon said unconvinced. It is inevitable that parents will quarrel over their children's education.

Tassela was silent.

Lyon has made up his mind to train Xia Lun as his heir - he is reluctant to lose the Zhendan Kingdom that he has worked so hard to build, but he doesn't mind handing it over to his daughter - from now on he can retire and rest, although he has not yet entered adulthood and will never allow anyone to interfere with his plans.

"Okay. Just stay home and we won't be away for long." Leon comforted.

"You can go out." Tassela finally spoke, "but I want to go too."

Leon patted his head. He almost forgot that Tassera was a magic dragon. She was more social than other dragons and would travel more frequently because her constant pursuit of knowledge would drive her to leave her nest. She had taken him to places like Forked Road City, the tombs of the ancient fallen empire, and the underground city of the Talia Alliance.

After giving birth to Sharon, Tassela liked the image of a gentle and intellectual wife more and more. She pushed her glasses and walked to Leon, took his hand, and said, "You won't refuse, will you?"

Leon had no reason to refuse. Anyway, there were no vacant official positions in the Zhendan Kingdom now, and everyone had their own duties. Even if he was not there, it would not affect the normal operation. Of course, if he was not there, everyone would disperse at will. If there was something important, everyone would use text messaging to notify them... He had Changhong Escape, and Tassela and Sharon had teleportation.

Just like that, the family of three set off from Watch Harbor to the Talia Alliance.

It was Sharon's first time on a boat and she ran around the deck excitedly.

Leon leaned on the guardrail and watched the sea with Tassela until Sharon was tired and quiet. He put his hands on the guardrail, reached out and touched her head, and said, "Do you know why sailboats can sail on the sea?"

"Because of the wind," said Sharon. "The wind is blowing the sailboat across the sea."

"Then why can the sailboat sail against the wind?" Lyon judged that the passenger ship was sailing against the wind from the fact that Tassela's long curly hair was blown by the sea breeze.

Sharon blinked her big eyes and tilted her head to look at Leon.

"I want to know why a sailboat can sail against the wind..." Leon gestured, "When a sailboat is sailing on the sea, it is affected by two forces at the same time, the wind and the thrust of the water. The wind can be decomposed into two forces by adjusting the angle of the sail, and the thrust of the water can also be decomposed into two forces by adjusting the rudder..."

Lyon recalled and continued, "Most people often have a wrong idea about sailboats, thinking that sailboats are blown by the wind. In fact, the greatest power of sailboats comes from the Bernoulli effect, which means that when air flows through a curved surface similar to an airplane wing, it generates a forward and upward attraction..."

Lyon then talked about the three elements of force. The effect of force on an object depends on the size, direction and point of application of the force, and then extended to gravity, universal gravitation, friction and so on.

"Do you understand?" Leon tried his best.

Sharon nodded, worthy of being called a little genius. Of course, part of the reason was that what Lyon said was relatively shallow. The problem was that Lyon only knew that little.

"I have questions." Tassela listened with great interest. Her desire for knowledge was greater than that for wealth.

"You have a question, I have another one." Leon didn't dare to answer Tassela's question, because he couldn't guarantee that he could answer Tassela's question. "Do you know why the sea is so blue?"

Leon started again, talking about why the sea water is so blue, how sunlight is composed of many kinds of visible light, the buoyancy of water, density, mass, the law of conservation of energy... He didn't mention that there are many differences between the Earth and this world.

Return to the Talia Alliance.

As soon as he stepped onto the dock of Lafite, Leon chattered non-stop: "Unlike our Cathay Kingdom, the Talia Alliance belongs to the Merchant Republic... Unlike our Cathay Kingdom, which adopts the conscription system, the Talia Alliance adopts the recruitment system. The army of the Talia Alliance is all composed of mercenaries."

Lyon talked about the differences between the recruitment system, the government soldier system, the conscription system, the hereditary soldier system, etc., and finally said that no matter what kind of military system it is, it is not as good as an army formed by one person, who has the power of heaven and earth in one person.

Compared with the alliance, Lyon prefers the great unification. The great unification is different from the great unification that is simply the regional unification as a concept. It refers more to the uniformity of national politics, the high concentration of economic system and ideology and culture. He tried his best to instill the importance of the great unification in Sharon. From feudalism to the divine right of kings, from local conquest to national identity - the Kingdom of Zhendan has too many settled races, each with different languages, cultures and beliefs, so the national identity is not very good, and it has not been integrated to this day, and it has never been completely digested - Lyon talked about it for half a day.

Sharon was still a young dragon, still a child, so Lyon didn't go too far and just took him out for some fun. They went to Clock Tower Street, attended the fair, went to the theater to watch a play, and enjoyed delicious food... Lyon didn't pay much attention to entertainment, so the Kingdom of Zhendan really couldn't compare to the Talia Alliance in terms of entertainment.

Although this is a world with supernatural powers and ordinary people are no better than ants in front of the strong, Leon still told Sharon the truth that "water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it." Ordinary people can provide taxes and ordinary people can provide faith.

Without rules, there can be no order. To govern the country and keep the people safe, every citizen should abide by the law. However, the greatest harm to the state power does not come from the people, but from the abuse of power, corruption, and bribery of officials. This is the truth that governing the country is governing the officials... Lyon said, and couldn't help but miss the days when he used to go online to do politics.

“Don’t just nod.” Tassela had a lot of questions, but Sharon barely asked any, so Leon couldn’t help but ask, “Did you really listen carefully?”

"I listened carefully." Sharon nodded heavily, bending over and raising his buttocks.

"Did you understand everything?" Leon asked, "If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask."

"Okay." Sharon raised his hand and waved it, "I have a question."

"Speak." Leon raised a relieved smile at the corner of his lips.

"Dad keeps talking about great principles, as if he knows everything and no one is worse than you." Sharon blinked his eyes and said innocently, "According to what you said, our Zhendan Kingdom should have surpassed the Talia Alliance and the Empire by now..."

“Isn’t this giving you a chance to show off?” Leon stretched out his hand and pinched his daughter’s little face, his face unchanged, “I have done everything, what are you going to do in the future?”

Sharon suddenly realized.

Leon squatted down, looked at his daughter at eye level, gently held her shoulders with both hands, and said: "My dear daughter, Dad has taught you so much about governing a country. Do you have the confidence to build a powerful empire spanning the continent?"

"Yes." Sharon answered crisply.

"Louder, louder." Leon said, "Don't you have the strength?"

Sharon couldn't stand the excitement, his face flushed, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Yes."

"What will we do after establishing the empire?" Leon asked.

"Collect taxes, collect taxes hard," Sharon blurted out, following his instinct perfectly.

"After collecting taxes, what will we do with the money?" Leon narrowed his eyes. "I told you that putting money in the treasury is the stupidest thing."

"Invest, lend, and make money from money." Sharon's eyes lit up.

"Then what?" Leon said, "You've made so much money, what are you going to do with it? Making money is a process, not a result."

"Enjoy it." Sharon raised his eyebrows and his eyes widened. "I like to eat meat. After I have money, I will eat the most delicious tenderloin every day. I like to eat ice cream, eat one and throw one away. I will also buy a lot of beautiful clothes."

Lyon suddenly sighed, his shoulders drooped, and he looked listless.

"Why is Dad sighing?" Sharon immediately realized something was wrong.

"We, as parents... always want to give the best to our children." Leon complained and looked at Tassela. There is something wrong with your education. "We gave everything to our child, but when she had money, she only cared about her own happiness. How could I not sigh?"

Sharon was stunned at first, but then he reacted and hugged Leon's legs, holding them tightly with his two little arms, and then looked up at Tassela and said, "I won't forget my parents."

"Lambs kneel to suckle their mothers, crows feed their parents. Animals all know to respect their parents, let alone us." Lyon said earnestly, "As children, it is our duty to respect our parents. Our parents raised us and worked hard, and we should do our best to repay them."

"Unconsciously, we may get used to relying on our parents and take everything they do for granted, which is wrong." Lyon knows the importance of education. "Parents give us unconditionally and use all their strength to protect and raise their children. If we are unfilial, heaven and earth will not tolerate it."

Tassela stood aside, feeling a little embarrassed at first, but she soon realized that parents taking care of their children and children respecting their parents was a loving family, so she decided to join Lyon.
