Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 458 Small moves

Leon thought again and again and decided that he and the Sea Goddess had not yet reached the point of completely breaking up, so it would be better not to expel the Sea Goddess's church and intensify the conflict. He privately told Cecilia to find a chance to "take care" of him.

In the final analysis, as he mastered the Nine Breaths and Subdued Qi to make up for the last shortcoming, he was no longer afraid of the Ocean Goddess, but that did not mean he was sure to win against the Ocean Goddess. In addition, time was on his side, his strength was improving every day, while the Ocean Goddess could hardly make any progress, so delaying time was good for him.

“No level.”

"I can't poop, blame the toilet."

"May your faith decline further and further."

In the end, Leon just made up a few words about the Ocean Goddess and left her alone. He didn't know that Sabrina hurriedly left the volcanic island and came to the Temple of the Ocean Goddess in Watch Harbor. She immediately knelt in front of the statue of the Ocean Goddess and told her everything she had said to the red dragon.

About an hour later, Sabrina left the Temple of the Ocean Goddess and sailed away from Watch Harbor.

"Leaving so soon?"

"I will not eat you."

Lyon was lying on the observation deck on the top of the volcano, watching the boat Sabrina was on go farther and farther away from Watch Harbor until it disappeared above the horizon. He looked up at the sky, which was azure with only a few thin clouds. There was no sudden storm, dark clouds, or a hurricane that was about to hit Watch Harbor hard...

Leon remained alert and waited for three days, but neither a hurricane nor a tsunami came. He felt that the Archbishop of the Goddess of the Sea was just bluffing. After all, barking dogs don't bite, but dogs that don't bark do.

Just like that, a week passed quietly and half a month went by in a flash.

Leon, who has an extraordinary nature, does not need food, but he is still used to eating. No matter how the world changes, he will never let down the delicious food.

"Why do I always feel like something is missing?"

"Steak, lamb chops, sausages, omelettes... Yeah, what about fish?"

Leon also suddenly realized that there was very little seafood in his recent dishes. Normally, whether it was fish, lobster, crab, scallops, or sea urchins, seafood often appeared in his recipes because they were easy to catch in the Shining Sea.

Leon must have had a problem. He called the tiefling maid who served the dishes and asked, "Why is there no seafood recently?"

"Master, do you want to eat seafood?" The tiefling maid said without a doubt, "I will ask the chef to prepare it for you immediately."

"I'm not craving for seafood all of a sudden... You know I'm not picky about food." Leon paused, "I'm just a little curious. I remember that we had seafood every day before, and the portions were quite large. Why has it become so little recently? What happened?"

"I don't know either. I'm only responsible for serving the food." The tiefling maid was smart. "Master, please wait a moment. I'll ask for you right away."

"Go ahead." Leon waved his hand.

The tiefling maid trotted away. Leon hadn't finished his steak yet, so he trotted back again, panting and saying, "Purchasing, purchasing told me that it's been hard for fishing boats to catch fish recently, and they often return empty-handed. In addition, the quality is not good, so we have reduced the seafood supply a little bit."

"I see." Leon nodded thoughtfully, took out the communication stone and called Cecilia. "Master, what do you want to talk to me about?" Cecilia soon appeared in the restaurant.

"Do you know how the fishing boats have been doing recently?" Leon asked.

"I don't know." Cecilia was the princess of Lyon. She was not so restrained in front of Lyon. She found a seat and sat down casually, frowning slightly. "There are so many government affairs. I don't have time to care about those trivial matters."

Lyon nodded slightly, showing his understanding. A Prime Minister would not have the time to care about the decreasing catch of fishing boats.

"I heard from the tiefling maid that it's been hard for fishing boats to catch fish recently, and they often return empty-handed..." Leon said, "Send someone to investigate whether the catch of fishing boats has decreased recently. Is it an isolated case or a mass incident? And when did it start, and on what day did it happen?"

"Is that the only thing?" Cecilia asked. In her opinion, such a thing was not worth Leon using the communication stone to contact her.

"No more... Wait." Leon stopped Cecilia as she was about to leave. "Contact the various chambers of commerce and ask them if their ships have encountered any anomalies while sailing on the Glittering Sea recently, such as sudden thick fog or whirlpools."

Leon was still restless. After thinking for a while, he called Fiora and said, "Help me investigate the Glittering Sea to see if the fish population has decreased, if the monsters have increased, and what the changes are in the water temperature, waves, tides, ocean currents, etc. No, don't go. Just stay in Watch Harbor. I'll let the druids go."

If the goddess of the sea is causing trouble, Fiora, as his princess, might be in danger when she goes to the Glittering Sea. It would be better to let the druids investigate. Even if they die, they can get a martyr's reward and a pension.

In less than half a day, information came in like a tide.

Lyon looked at the reports covering the table, his pupils shrinking into dangerous vertical lines.

The day after Archbishop Sabrina, the goddess of the sea, left, the fishermen in Watch Harbor had noticeably less catch, less than one-tenth of the original catch. Some boats didn't even bring back any fish.

The Jin'an Chamber of Commerce, which has the closest relationship with the Zhendan Kingdom, recently had two ships lose their way for no reason while sailing in the Shining Sea and hit reefs, causing an accident.

The last report from the druids showed that conditions in the Shimmering Sea had become complex and unnatural, with the normally docile currents now turbulent.

Leon was now certain that the Ocean Goddess had decided to do something, so he found the Ocean Goddess Bishop who was still in Watch Harbor and asked her if she knew about the problems that had occurred on the Shining Sea.

The Ocean Goddess Bishop knew nothing about anything and just said that if Leon was willing to get closer to the Ocean Goddess Church, the Ocean Goddess would definitely help solve what happened in the Glittering Sea.

"Don't try to fool me with this kind of rhetoric!"

With Leon's current strength, no one chosen by God can threaten him unless the goddess of the sea comes down to earth. However, he really has no way to deal with his industry.

Leon was sure that if he was willing to bow his head and show some care and support to the Church of the Sea Goddess, this matter could be easily resolved, but he was unwilling to do so. At least he could not just do nothing.

"If both sides lose, both sides lose."

Leon believed that if he compromised with the Sea Goddess, other gods would definitely follow suit, and he must make the Sea Goddess feel pain.
