Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 92 You Have to Rely on Yourself

Dragon scales are slightly more flexible than steel, but much stronger, making them perfect armor. Normally they might not be as good as adamantium, but they should be better than mithril, which is light and flexible, not strong.

As a red dragon, Leon has natural armor and dragon scales. To be honest, he doesn't care that much about protective gear. He cares more about a good weapon that can be used in conjunction with sword-wielding skills to unleash powerful combat power.

In this case, Mithril has never been a good material for making weapons, at most it can reduce weight.

But it's different with refined gold. Weapons forged with refined gold have extremely strong destructive power. If there is an excellent blacksmith to help forge them, perhaps special effects can be achieved... Of course, refined gold weapons also have disadvantages, that is, they are heavy, but it doesn't matter to Leon, he has plenty of strength.

To sum up, Leon doesn’t really care about mithril. It doesn’t matter whether he has it or not. As long as he has refined gold, it’s enough. As long as he gets the refined gold, this trip to Fork Road City will be a big profit.

Leon looked at the female dwarf mage and inexplicably felt that she was surrounded by a halo. Before he could ask about the price, he heard Tassela's voice -

"Where did you get the refined gold? I've never heard you mention it before." From the Blue Dragon's words, we can know that she was completely unaware of it beforehand. She didn't know everything, but she deliberately tried to dissuade Lyon from going around Chalu City to buy it.

"What?" Betty looked left and right. "Did you misunderstand me? I never said I had refined gold..."

Happiness came as suddenly, and it went away as suddenly. Things were indeed not that simple. Leon's smiling face froze there.

If the other party was not an acquaintance or friend of Tassera, and a stranger teased him like that, Leon would have probably slammed the table, but now he could only ask patiently: "Didn't you just ask me if I wanted refined gold?"

"Yes, I asked. Is there any problem?" Betty asked puzzledly.

Leon was thoughtful.

Just now, he was overwhelmed by the sudden surprise and bad news. Now that he had calmed down, Leon quickly reacted and said, “I know what you mean... You don’t have refined gold, but you have a channel to buy refined gold.”

"No, no, no, I don't have any channels to buy adamantium either." The female dwarf wizard shook her hands. "Adamantium is hard to buy now. It's needed to make weapons and equipment, and it's needed to make constructs. It's needed everywhere. Even if you have money, you can't buy it... I just know a place where there might be adamantium."

"I see..." Tassela complained, "I'm serious, please can you get to the point next time when you speak, otherwise it's easy for people to misunderstand."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with what I said." Betty spread her hands. "It's obviously you who are too anxious and too self-righteous."

“Indeed, we were so self-righteous without listening to the whole story.” Leon was always easy to talk to when he needed help. “So where is the refined gold?”

"Even if you are Tassera's good friend... hey, what exactly are you? A dragonborn who doesn't look like a dragonborn, a spellscale who doesn't look like a spellscale, a dragon vein warlock who has awakened the blood of a red dragon and grown scales, wings and a tail?" Betty tilted her head and looked at Leon. After a long time, she couldn't give a definite answer.

Leon didn't know whether to reveal his identity as the Red Dragon.

"Where were we just talking about? Yes, actually, Tassela and I are not very familiar with each other." The female dwarf mage finally got down to business, crossed her arms and said, "I can't give you such important information for nothing."

Tassela sneered.

Leon was not one to take advantage of others, so he said, "Of course I can't take your information for free. Name your price."

"No money, I don't want money. Although I'm short of money, I want Whispering Tree Flowers more." Betty said, "Energetic gold is deep in the Underdark. If you want to get it, you will definitely have to pass by the Whispering Tree. Just help me get a few Whispering Tree Flowers... This request is very low, right?" Leon thought to himself that this was a task issued by the NPC.

"I originally wanted you to help me bring a mind flayer tadpole, but then I thought that request was too much." The female dwarf mage put her hands on her hips.

"What are you thinking... You still want the mind flayer tadpoles." Tassera interrupted, "If nothing unexpected happens, the mind flayer tadpoles live in the brain pool, and the brain pool is well protected in the center of the mind flayer society. At the same time, the main brain lives there... One main brain is strong enough, not to mention there are a group of mind flayers."

"So I didn't ask for that." Betty held her head in her hands. "Equal exchange. Unless I can directly take out the refined gold, I wouldn't dare to ask for that."

Leon listened to the conversation between the two people, and he finally understood why the female dwarf wizard lived in Forked Road City. Is the pseudo-dragon not good enough, or is the winged cat not good enough? How can a normal wizard use a little devil as a magic pet, and now he is still obsessed with the mind flayer tadpole.

"How about it?" Betty suddenly looked at Leon, "I just want a Whispering Tree flower. This is definitely not a high request. Do you agree?"

"No problem." Lyon said without hesitation.

Thanks to a certain game, he actually knew the Whispering Tree Flowers for a long time.

Since there are Whispering Flowers, there must be Whispering Bark. Whispering Bark can be used to make weapons. When a weapon with Whispering Bark hits an enemy, it may silence the enemy and prevent spellcasting.

In addition to mithril and adamantium, he now also wants the whispering tree flowers. The mission from the female dwarf wizard is an unexpected surprise to him.

"It's settled then." Betty didn't know that Leon had set his sights on Whispering Bark.

"Map, map..." The female dwarf wizard jumped and took out a map, and said, "I remind you that the Whispering Tree Flowers cannot be exposed to the sun. Once exposed to the sun, they will rot and eventually decay. After you pick the Whispering Tree Flowers, you must put them in a box that is not exposed to light."

"I know." Leon said as he browsed the map. A map that was at most the size of an A4 paper could not provide much information. This was indeed the case. There were only some simple lines and annotations on the map. "Isn't this map a little too simple?"

"That's enough." Betty said, "Go to the Redberry Tavern first to find the Wolf... He has been to the Underdark. As long as you find any point on this map, you can use this map to find the adamantine."

Leon nodded. He was skeptical about the map in his hand, but willing to give it a try.

Leon stayed in the Mage Tower for less than an hour and then left the Mage District and returned to the lower town to find the Red Berry Tavern. He discovered that two people were fighting, but he was not in a hurry to find the Evil Wolf. He found a place to watch the fight until it was over, then he asked the waitress about the Evil Wolf.

"It's right there, the one fighting." The waitress pouted and answered Leon.

"The one who wins or the one who loses?" Leon found that the winner was drinking and the loser was wailing.

The waitress curled her lips and said, "I won the fight."

Lyon was relieved.
