Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 477 Lakshmi Charge

Many older green dragons become engrossed in gardening, cultivating local plants according to their personal aesthetics. They also create tree-like creatures as minions, placing garden guards near their lair. These are shrubs or bushes shaped like animals, similar to golems, and are primarily driven by arcane energy.

Sheeta and Tana are still fledgling dragons, and at such a young age they do not yet possess the powerful abilities of adult green dragons, such as the ability to control plants at will, or to make tangled roots and vines grow instantly from the ground. At most, they can grow mushrooms...

"This stuff tastes really good."

Today, Leon ate mushrooms grown by Sheeta and Tana. These delicious mushrooms, if eaten raw or undercooked, would cause poisoning, but they had no effect on him. His indestructible body, combined with the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, ensured that he was immune to all poisons.

Just as Lyon was about to rest after a satisfying meal, he suddenly sensed something and used a technique to fly from the villa at the foot of the mountain to the top of the volcano. Upon landing, he swayed and returned to his dragon form, transforming into a colossal red dragon.

Since that thrilling battle with the Ocean Goddess, Leon had been staying on the volcanic island, spending his days with his wife and children, living a peaceful and tranquil life. He had hardly had any opportunities to fight. After several years, he picked up the divine sword again, raised it high against the sea breeze, and slowly said, "You have finally awakened."

"Master." The divine sword trembled slightly in Leon's hand, communicating with him through telepathy.

"You... you finally woke up, what are your thoughts, what do you want to do?" Leon didn't know what to ask, thinking that once an intelligent weapon gains sentience, it doesn't need to learn from scratch like a child; its personality and intelligence are closely related to its creator, experiences, and purpose.

Generally speaking, intelligent weapons inherit the personality and will of their creators. Intelligent weapons frequently used for killing tend to be decisive and bloodthirsty, while those used more for rituals are often more dignified. Finally, the intelligence of stave-type intelligent weapons is often superior to that of swords.

Although intelligent weapons possess free will, they never betray their creators. This is because their existence is due to the creator's will, and their underlying logic and very essence are imbued with obedience and loyalty to the creator. After all, no creator would be happy to see an intelligent weapon that would betray them.

Like the Staff of Orcus, it inherits the evil will and ultimate goal of its creator, the demon lord, which is to try to destroy all life. It belongs to the chaotic evil faction, is ruthless and cruel, has no credibility, behaves lawlessly, and has no sense of humor. It can be used by others, but everything is for the purpose of achieving the goal of its true master.

“I have no particular thoughts. I am my master’s sword, and I will do whatever my master tells me to do.” The blade of the divine sword gleamed faintly. “Live, and follow my master to see more scenery, scenery with different styles, and all kinds of people and monsters.”

Lyon listened, a slight smile playing on his lips, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"Let me see your new skills," Leon said, more concerned about the matter, and threw the divine sword into the sky.

After gaining sentience, the divine sword, now an intelligent weapon, no longer required Leon to use his sword-controlling technique. It flew around in the sky automatically, leaving behind rings of sword light. It could even summon clones by shaking, turning one sword into three, and taking control of the swords held by the fire lizard guards...

Leon stood still, his gaze fixed on the divine sword. He gently beckoned, and the sword immediately flew into his hand. He then gripped the hilt and slashed fiercely at the huge rock beside him. Without needing to aim, he accurately hit the target, as the sword would correct its trajectory.

After a series of tests, Lyon had already reached a conclusion.

He was certain that the divine sword had awakened its intelligence and had successfully transformed from a secondary artifact into a higher-level artifact. In terms of functionality, in addition to its divinity making the sword even sharper, the sword could now attack enemies automatically without the user, although this could not be maintained indefinitely. It could also assist the user in attacking, and so on.

Lyon only chatted with the divine sword for a short while before ending the conversation. After all, he now had four spouses and three daughters, and simply didn't have the time. Considering that the divine sword probably wouldn't like staying in the space within his sleeve after it gained sentience, he didn't put it away, leaving it to stay on the volcano's summit, enjoying its freedom. Time flew by, and another six months passed.

As the saying goes, the best way to get pregnant is through contraception, and the best way to prevent pregnancy is to have a backup plan. Poor Fiora still couldn't get pregnant, and her belly remained completely still. She even considered asking the platinum dragon Bahamut for help, but then she thought that the idea was too absurd and could only keep it to herself.

Fiora had really considered every possible method, while Laxia had been slow to act.

"Can't you really lower the price a little more?" Laksha had money, but she was reluctant to spend it. Even for a dragon, 10,000 gold coins was not a small amount. Every gold coin felt like a piece of flesh being cut off from her body.

"I promised you a money-back guarantee if it doesn't work out, isn't that enough sincerity?" Because of her fiefdom, Salovis earned a considerable amount of gold coins every month, but a horse won't get fat without night grass, and she wasn't about to let go of such a sucker so easily. "I remember telling you, Cecilia and her brother were brought together by me behind the scenes."

"You might as well rob a city for ten thousand gold coins; you might not even be able to take it all," Laksha grinned. "You don't think I'm an idiot, do you? I'm a black dragon, not a white dragon. Don't you know that black dragons are cunning as demons?"

“Ten thousand gold coins, not a single one less.” Salovis said calmly, because she knew very well how much Laksha coveted Lyon.

Laksha wasn't a fool to be manipulated. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I can go to your mother; she certainly doesn't want that much money. I can also go to Cecilia. As long as I'm willing to obey her, she definitely won't mind supporting me to take over and fight against Tassera together. Besides, that little girl Isilie isn't as honest as Fiora; she's especially good at causing trouble, and her pillow talk is definitely more effective than yours."

Upon hearing this, Salovis panicked instantly, her smugness vanishing without a trace. She quickly said, "You've asked about the price several times already... Considering how deeply you're in love with me, I'll give you a 50% discount."

Salovis asked for an exorbitant price, but Laksha immediately countered, saying, "One hundred gold coins for a friend."

Salovis thought for a moment, and even a mosquito bite is still a bite, so she gritted her teeth and said, "One hundred gold coins, no refund if it doesn't work."

There's a way to get 10,000 gold coins, and there's a way to get 100 gold coins.

Salovis's suggestion was that her brother had always been very chauvinistic, and that he should just take the initiative and cry if he was rejected. He should cry his heart out, crying so hard that he felt ashamed to face anyone after being rejected.

Laksha felt she had been cheated, because she had originally planned a night raid.

Lyon possesses an extraordinary nature, able to maintain abundant energy without needing to sleep. However, he is so used to sleeping that it could almost be called meditation. Occasionally, he sleeps alone, and is bewildered to find a stunningly beautiful woman with dark hair, dressed in a sheer nightgown and exuding a touch of shyness, sleeping beside him.

How to do?
Should I yell at her, righteously declaring that I'm not that kind of person, or should I go with the flow?
