Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 61 Reunion

Although he learned to fly early on, Leon never dared to get too close to big cities belonging to humans, for fear that someone would suddenly appear from nowhere and kill him.

The cultists are everywhere, proving that as long as you don't show up and don't cause trouble, not so many people will be watching you. Today, after turning into a human form, I finally have the opportunity to get close to the city without worrying about safety. To be honest, Leon is a little excited.

There is no need to pay any entrance fee. This oasis city has no city walls at all. The city’s architecture seems to be a fusion of multiple cultural elements. There are dome tents of desert nomads, as well as tall temples and spires made of golden sandstone, sparkling in the sun... Even Lyon, who has seen many landscapes, was still shocked.

Leon's gaze shifted from the city guards riding camels on the street, equipped with scimitars and spears, to a temple guard. He thought that the city guards' combat effectiveness did not seem high, but the strength of these temple guards was still quite strong... In order to prevent any accidents, such as the gaze of God, he did not dare to get too close to the temple.

Lyon followed a caravan, and their destination was the market, which was located in a corner of the oasis city, next to the huge turquoise lake in the center of the city. Palm trees and various tropical plants could be seen everywhere.

Of course, Leon would not do such a stupid thing as running around in strange clothes. After discovering that the dressing style of passers-by was slightly different from his, he immediately found a store and asked the owner to recommend a set of clothes... Although he no longer attracted men's attention, women's attention still came one after another, because he was really charming now.

After looting the fire giant's treasure house, Leon could be considered a wealthy man. He was not as stingy as a normal dragon and did not mind spending a little money to find a guide in the name of a outsider to avoid any trouble and jokes.

A normal red dragon is chaotic evil. It is hard to say whether he is evil or not, but he definitely belongs to the lawful camp.

In the prosperous market, adventurers and merchants sell all kinds of goods, ranging from spices and silk to materials dropped by monsters and rare magic items. The place is filled with the sounds of bargaining and conversations in various languages.

Lyon learned from the guide that there were many ruins and tombs around the oasis city. They were relics left over from the ancient fallen empire, and many magical items were found from those ruins and tombs.

Leon was very interested in that ancient fallen empire, but unfortunately the guide didn't know much. He kept saying that the beliefs of the ancient fallen empire were different from those of today. People at that time believed in three gods: an eagle with golden feathers, a red feathered serpent and a giant.

It took Leon a whole day to finish visiting the market, mainly because he liked to join in the fun. He could stand at a stall selling desert cats for half an hour and at a stall selling monster materials for another half a day, listening to the stall owner dressed as an adventurer talking endlessly about how they fought the sand roll beasts.

Lyon hired a guide for three days until he had a basic understanding of life and work in the oasis city.

During the five days, Lyon spent more than half of his time sleeping, the remaining half was spent eating and drinking, and finally wandering around.

Leon had heard that the Empire had an Adventurer's Guild, but of course it was limited to one place, not a massive organization that covered the entire sphere of influence of the Empire, providing a platform for all kinds of adventures, but unfortunately there was none here.

Although there is no Adventurer's Guild, there are similar places. There are often many adventurers gathering in the tavern next to the market, and those in need will come to ask the adventurers for help.

"Have you ever seen a mummy? I have, in the underground tomb..."

"What's so great about mummies? I've also seen the Sphinx, which is as tall as a two-story building. It asked me a question: the more something exists, the less you see it..." Those adventurers like to tell stories when they are drunk. How can they let others know their abilities without telling stories? Leon likes to go to the tavern and enjoy delicious food while listening to the adventurers' stories.

"I don't think I've mentioned this before. Our caravan encountered a red dragon a few days ago... Remember, it was a red dragon, not a blue dragon or a brass dragon. I was the first to walk out and pointed at the red dragon and shouted, 'Evil dragon, get out of here now if you don't want to die...'"

Leon really never thought that he would end up eating the melon on his head. He didn't feel angry, but just found it interesting, because that person kept praising the red dragon for being powerful and terrifying. After all, only a powerful enemy can prove one's own strength.

He was somewhat concerned about how the caravan managed to cross the desert after he robbed its food... He thought about it and realized that it was probably because they didn't rob the most important thing, the water. As long as they had water, they could get food by hunting along the way.

Leon didn't know which adventurer told him that there was a shop in a remote corner of Oasis City. The owner of the shop was a mysterious beauty. She opened and closed the shop based on her mood and sold and bought all kinds of magic props, including those messy death masks, books of the dead, and canopic jars from ancient fallen empires...

The beautiful boss is a greedy person. She will bargain hard when purchasing something, and then ask for a sky-high price when selling it. She can increase the price several times after selling an item and buying it back. But she is very knowledgeable. You can ask her if you encounter something you don't understand, and you can often get unexpected answers.

Before taking the risk, go shopping in that store, chat with the beautiful owner, ask her to tell your fortune, and then listen to her recommendations on products. You may get unexpected rewards.

As long as you don't cause trouble in that store, the beautiful boss is very easy to talk to. It doesn't matter if you are a good person or a bad person. Even if you are a cultist, it's harmless. It doesn't matter if you just look and don't buy. Otherwise, the body will definitely not be found the next day.

Naturally, Leon would not miss such an interesting thing. He found the store, which had a big tent, and used his clairvoyance to take a look in advance. There was no magical light that people dared not look directly at, so he walked in with confidence.

The dark tent was lit by several lanterns.

"Why do lost travelers come here?"

The female boss sitting behind the counter wore a black hood decorated with crystal tassels, which covered half of her face when she lowered her head, and revealed slightly curly bangs the same color as the desert when she raised her head. Her sky-blue eyes were moving as she looked around, and her delicate face was charming and alluring...

Leon admitted that the adventurers were not bragging this time, they were indeed great beauties...or rather, great beautiful dragons.

Those adventurers couldn't see it, but Leon had the skill of clairvoyance, which could not only see the invisible, but also the true form of monsters and demons.

What beautiful boss? She is actually a blue dragon, the same blue dragon he saw a few days ago.
