Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 486 Just a Little Bit More
King Leon of Zhen Dan was a complete absentee ruler, with virtually no work to do. Even if he were to focus on cultivation, there was no need to push all the political affairs onto Xia Lun. Half a day a week would be more than enough.

Sharon, who had always stayed by Leon's side, had made no major mistakes under Leon's guidance and was not as short-sighted as ordinary people. However, she was still a bit naive in the details. Becoming a princess of the Regent Kingdom all at once was too fast for her, and her small shoulders could not bear such a heavy burden.

Leon's arrangement for Sharon was to have her rotate through various departments and observe politics. Once she had a better understanding of the affairs of each department, then they would consider the matter of overseeing the country. Finally, if she wanted to officially replace Leon as queen and rule such a large territory as the Kingdom of Zhen Dan, she would have to wait until her strength increased to at least level 20.

As for Lyon, although he did not step down as King of China, he had already begun to arrange propaganda work, spreading the message that the red dragon who ruled the Kingdom of China was a dragon god. He ordered the brass dragon to erect his huge statue in the center of the square in Watchtower. Finally, with the help of the cloud and rain control technique he mastered with the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, he controlled the fog to shroud the volcanic island, maintaining its mystery as much as possible.

Time just passed by little by little.

"His Majesty Bahamut has officially declared you the new Dragon God, vigorously promoting you as a red dragon capable of restraining your evil nature, emphasizing that your achievements today are entirely due to your perseverance in restraining evil, and hoping that all the colorful dragons can take you as an example to learn from..." Isili was in charge of keeping an eye on the movements of the metal dragons.

Lyon anticipated that Bahamut's support for him becoming the new Dragon God would lead to some underhanded tactics, and sure enough, he did.

Regardless, as long as the other party supports him in ascending to the position of Dragon God, those petty tricks are insignificant. However, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "He is the Metal Dragon God, but he seems to be more concerned about the Color Dragon."

“Whether it’s a metal dragon or a chromatic dragon, it’s still a dragon.” Isilie, like a married daughter who has been left behind, has become increasingly sympathetic to Leon’s perspective since becoming his consort. She whispered, “His Majesty Bahamut wants to influence the chromatic dragons through you.”

"Her Majesty Tiamat proclaims you as the new Dragon God, that the power of the Colored Dragons has increased because of you, that you have offered Him gold coins twice, that you are under His protection, and calls upon all Colored Dragons to learn from you." Cecilia is extremely popular among the Colored Dragons because of Leon. "Should we correct this claim?"

"If anyone asks, correct me. If no one asks, then leave it as is," Leon said, waving his hand.

Tiamat certainly has many flaws, but she is not Vairakis. For this reason, Leon never regarded Tiamat as an enemy, saying, "We can't just expect others to help us spread the word... We want to use others, and we also want to be used by others. It's a win-win situation."

“Doesn’t a win-win situation mean we win twice?” Hida suddenly interjected, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

“If Hida wins once, Tana wins once.” Tana replied in agreement. The twin sisters had an incredible tacit understanding and were so in sync that they could walk all day without stumbling.

Lyon looked at his twin daughters and affectionately ruffled their hair.

Since there were no statistics, Leon didn't know exactly how high his approval rating was; all he knew was that years had passed and the golden finger reward he had been waiting for had still not appeared.

According to his reasoning, becoming a Dragon God would definitely come with a special reward. The fact that he hasn't received one only means that he hasn't received enough support yet. Many dragons don't consider him a Dragon God; at most, he's just a powerful dragon.

"That shouldn't be the case," Lyon murmured. He hadn't been working in isolation; he had been learning about the outside world through Isilie and Cecilia. Bahamut and Tiamat did indeed have their own agendas, but they weren't lying; they genuinely supported his becoming the Dragon God.

Lyon was somewhat confused as to whether he absolutely needed to seek a clergy position or develop a certain number of followers. He only knew he was missing something, but he didn't know where that missing lay.

“You seem distracted lately.” Tassera had spent the most time with Leon and knew him inside and out. She could keenly sense changes in his mood from his subtle movements.

Lyon paused slightly, then asked instinctively, "Is it that obvious?"

“Not very obvious.” Tassera pursed her lips slightly. “Now that you’ve become the Dragon God, everything has gone smoothly for you. What troubles could you possibly have?” “Am I a Dragon God now?” Leon asked with a wry smile, knowing that he still hadn’t received the cheat reward.

"The two emperors proclaim you the new Dragon God, and those gem dragons stubbornly believe you are the Ruby Dragon. The people of Zhen Dan believe they are ruled by a Dragon God," Tassera said with certainty. "If you are not the Dragon God, then who is?"

Leon opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed the words back and finally shook his head.

“Let’s go for a walk,” Tassera suggested. “I’ll go with you for a walk to clear your head.”

"Where to?" Lyon tilted his head slightly, his gaze somewhat unfocused.

“Wherever you want to go, we’ll go.” Tassera pondered for a moment. “Red Crown Desert, what about the lava lake where you used to live? After you left, it’s become a steam lake now, isn’t it? You gave that castle to the brass dragon, and then you threatened the brass dragon to take it over. Now I don’t know who has taken over that place.”

Lyon thought for a moment, his eyes gradually hardening, and said, "Let's go for a walk, it's time to get out for a while."

“But it’s not us going out together; I’m going out alone, wherever I end up.” Leon looked at Tassera. “It’s not that I don’t want to go out with you; I just want to be alone for a while, is that okay?”

“Of course,” Tassera said gently, her eyes full of understanding and acceptance.

Without hesitation, Lyon set off.

He planned to first visit the Red Crown Desert, and then go to the forest where he used to live...

Lyon left the Kingdom of Cinnamon with the caravan, crossed the Lost Plateau, and spent a long time arriving at the Red Crown Desert.

"Dragon... Dragon dragon dragon!" the caravan guards suddenly shouted in terror, their voices distorted.

Lyon looked up when he heard the sound and saw a red dragon flying menacingly toward his caravan.

Isn't the desert the territory of blue dragons? How come there are red dragons here?
Lost in thought, Lyon spotted the red dragon. It was a young red dragon that had driven away all the caravan guards with a single breath of fire from the sky. The dragon landed in front of Lyon, who was a beat behind, stared at him, and looked him up and down before asking, "Do you know how to use a sword?"

“Yes,” Lyon replied.

"That's good." The teenage red dragon said, stretching out its huge claws, grabbing Leon and flying up.

And so, Lyon was kidnapped by a red dragon.
