Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 493 I Like It Here (The Finale)

With a single sword strike, Lyon sent all the elven gods back to their divine realm, including the ancient castle, magic, and the labyrinthine lock, all of which vanished into thin air under his blade.

After accomplishing all this, Leon did not turn back to the Elf Empire to teach those reckless elves a painful lesson, so that they would never forget to provoke dragons.

His idea was simple: if the Elf God caused trouble, he would naturally stand in front of him, and leave the rest of the mortal affairs to the mortal realm to handle.

The elves' creation of the Dragon Frenzy Lock wasn't just aimed at the Kingdom of Zhen Dan, but at all dragons. If the dragons remained indifferent upon learning of the elves' plans to create the Dragon Frenzy Lock, especially the metal dragons who intended to coexist peacefully with the elves, they would deserve to be betrayed and killed by the elves. Why should they interfere? They weren't the dragons' babysitters.

In short, after a quick tidy-up, Lyon returned home.

“You’re back. Are you alright? Did you see the message I sent you with the telepathy spell?” As soon as Tassera saw Lyon, she rushed to greet him. “I know why you’ve been feeling uneasy. I have reason to suspect that the elves in the north are preparing to create the Dragon Frenzy Lock, to recreate the tragedy that struck the world of Toril.”

“You guessed right, they are indeed preparing the Dragon Madness Lock.” Leon smiled easily.

"And then?" Tassera asked impatiently.

"And that's it." Leon said calmly, as if what he had just experienced was nothing more than a trivial matter.

Lyon organized his thoughts and recounted his ordeal. He explained that of the four elven gods, at least two had war-related duties and were quite formidable fighters; in the past, he would have found them truly difficult to deal with.

“Speaking of which,” Leon suddenly said with some curiosity, “now that your life level has advanced to Titan, the Dragon Madness Lock shouldn’t affect you anymore, right?”

Lyon waited, but Tassera didn't reply. He asked, "Did you hear me?"

Tassera snapped out of her daze, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Although this is the material plane, not the Elysium or the Wilderness, the territory of those elven gods, where the elven gods cannot exert their full power, yet she sent four elven gods back with a single sword strike... What kind of spouse did she choose? She has only just come of age and has already reached the level of a powerful god.
Next.

Leon didn't stay long in the mage tower in Tarsera. He returned to his villa, summoned Cecilia and Isilie to his office, told them what had happened that day, let them spread the word among the metal dragons and the chromatic dragons, and then left them to their own devices.

……

……

Several years have passed just like that.

Leon, who spent most of his time refining the Primordial Purple Qi, did not publicize his achievements and rarely went out. However, wherever he did go, everyone treated him with utmost respect. Bahamut and Tiamat once expressed their gratitude to him. The Elven pantheon made no move, and probably no god dared to plot against him.

Aside from refining the Primordial Purple Qi, and spending his days with his wife, children, and a warm bed, the bored Leon decided to wander around on a whim.

Lyon first went to Edwin's laboratory to take a look.

Because of him, Edwin is getting younger and younger.

Edwin's current research focuses on white phosphorus incendiary bombs, but it will take some time before he can produce results, and there is a possibility that he will ultimately fail.

After leaving Edwin's laboratory, Lyon made a detour to Danaran, a city that originally belonged to the elves but is now a key development city of the Kingdom of Zhendan. The ruler is Camus, Tassera's cousin... Tassera's relatives hold various high-ranking positions, and the whole family wields immense power in the Kingdom of Zhendan.

"I already have three daughters. Have you found a wife yet?" Lyon hadn't expected that the Minister of Engineering, the Copper Dragon Aegon, would be on a business trip in Danarland, so he took the opportunity to chat with him.

"If I wanted to look, I could find it anytime," the brass dragon retorted stubbornly. "It's just that I don't want to look."

Lyon couldn't help but chuckle at his comical appearance.

Then, Lyon heard from that chatterbox that the fire giant dreamed of becoming a giant noble in a thousand years, that a spy who tried to steal the cement formula from the engineering department was caught, and that the cloud giant Mancus was now a business tycoon who held banquets every week and spent money like water...

The brass dragon was incredibly talkative. After listening for a while, Lyon quickly made an excuse and left in a hurry.

……

……

Before you know it, it's dark.

The evening was a grand family dinner; Lyon loved having his whole family eat together.

Laksha was bored, and sometimes she acted quite childishly. She carefully pieced together the leftover bones, then muttered incantations and cast a necromancy spell. Soon, a skeleton chicken staggered to its feet, its empty eye sockets flashing with an eerie light. It walked unsteadily, looking quite comical.

With the "Black Book of the Dead" given to him by Leon, plus the "Necromantic Codex of Saen" and the "Sakiat Codex" brought by Leon from Faerûn, Laksha's mastery of necromancy is now quite high. "I heard you two skipped work again yesterday." Cecilia had arranged for Sheeta and Tana to work for the government when they were still fledgling dragons, not to mention that they are now teenagers.

"Is that mushroom really that interesting?" Cecilia, a green dragon, has a strong desire for power and ambition. It's hard to imagine that her daughter has no interest in power at all, but instead likes those messy things.

"What else?" The twins mischievously tilted their heads to the side together, then to the right.

“I’ve really had enough of you all,” Cecilia said, her shoulders slumped.

Isilie and Fiora sat together, watching Cecilia educate her daughter with great interest. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Fiora constantly stroking her belly and said, "Just keep pestering Leon, keep pestering Leon every day. It will happen, there will be bread, there will be butter."

“No need.” Fiora shook her head calmly.

“You can’t give up on yourself. If you give up, there’s even less chance,” Isley patiently advised.

“I’m not giving up. I can feel it,” Fiora whispered. “A tiny life.”

"Huh!?" Isilie was stunned for a moment when she heard Fiora's words. Her mouth gaped open, and her voice became stuttering and hesitant. "Um, what did you say? Ah, congratulations, when did you find out?"

Salovis lay on the table, muttering to herself, "We are dragons, why should we abide by the ethical and moral norms of human society?"

"Marriage between immediate family members is prohibited because their genes are extremely similar. Both parties may carry the same recessive disease-causing genes, greatly increasing the probability of their offspring having recessive genetic diseases. But we dragons are perfect beings..." Salovis muttered to herself, when she suddenly felt a tap on her head. She looked up and asked, "Why did you hit me?"

“What do you think?” Angelista said dismissively. “What are you dreaming about in broad daylight?”

“It’s nighttime now,” Salovis retorted. “Besides, it’s not like there aren’t red dragon siblings getting married.”

Angelista crossed her arms and sneered, "Even so, how could Leon possibly want you? You're just a pet."

“Given how much your brother values ​​family, if you had taken care of him even a little, provided him with food, and not driven him out of the territory… your status would definitely be higher than the Blue Dragon's now. Even the Blue Dragon would have to curry favor with you,” Salovis retorted sharply. “Now the entire dragon race is laughing at your foolishness.”

Upon hearing this, Angelista was instantly enraged and raised her fist.

Salovis bared her teeth, refusing to back down.

The mother's love and the daughter's filial piety are about to begin.

Leon, disregarding his mother and sister, and completely focused on his eldest daughter, Sharon—who was now a teenager and a graceful young woman in human form—said, “You’ve completed your internships in various departments, haven’t you… You’re still too young to become queen, but there shouldn’t be any problem with overseeing the country. When do you plan to begin?”

"I want to go out for a walk, just by myself." Sharon pursed her lips. As she got older, she had more ideas. "As for being a regent, we can talk about that when I get back."

“That works too.” Lyon nodded slightly. “Traveling ten thousand miles is worse than reading ten thousand books.”

Lyon leaned back in his chair, took a sip of red wine, and suddenly sighed, "How fast time flies... I remember when I was a fledgling dragon, searching everywhere for crabs and snails to fill my stomach, and then catching fish. In the blink of an eye, my daughter is all grown up."

“You’ve only been an adult for a few years, it’s not time for you to be sentimental about the past,” Tassera couldn’t help but interject.

"Becoming a father before even reaching adulthood, whose fault is it?" Leon glanced at Tassera, whose slightly curly long hair cascaded over her shoulders. "Do you admit that you've been eyeing me since I was a young dragon?"

“A good man should make his move early.” Tassera raised her chin confidently.

Leon ignored Tassera and looked at his beautiful daughter, saying, "Don't listen to your mother's nonsense... Well, if you can find a man stronger than your father, I'll support you in taking action."

“Because—” Lyon clenched his fist and raised it, “If he can’t beat me, I will beat him.”

“Then I’ll have to remain unmarried for life.” A playful glint flashed in Sharon’s eyes as she hugged Leon tightly. “That’s fine too, then I can stay with Dad forever.”

“No.” Tassera pulled Sharon away, sat in Leon’s lap, and hugged his shoulders tightly. “This is mine.”

Tassera looked at Lyon, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, and said, "Sharon wants to go out and travel, and I want to go out too. When can we go on a trip?"

"Where to go?" Lyon wondered. He wondered if he would be able to break through the void once he had fully refined the Primordial Purple Qi.

Regardless of whether he can shatter the void or not, he is doing well right now, and he likes his current life.
