Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 93: Advancing into the Dark Abyss
Leon was not afraid of the vampire's mansion, and he could break in alone, let alone a person. Although that person had just had a fight with someone and knocked him to the ground with one punch, whimpering and bleeding, he still sat next to him and drank without changing his expression.

Leon walked over with the wine and sat opposite the so-called evil wolf.

Of course, Bad Wolf is not a wolf. Bad Wolf is just a name. He is a person with short, thick hair, messy beard on his temples and chin, a pair of sharp and deep dark brown eyes, hard facial lines, and arms covered with scars. He has a bit of the charm of Wolverine.

The wolf heard footsteps and the sound of a bench being moved. He looked up and wanted to say something harsh, but he saw that the man sitting opposite him had a pair of swept-back horns on his head, his eyes seemed to be burning with flames, and his cheekbones were covered with scarlet scales. He looked like a terrifying predator.

He moved his lips but didn't say anything. When he spoke again, his tone was two degrees lower: "Who are you, what can you do for me... Are you here to cause trouble as well?"

Leon finally folded his wings and tail. The reason was simple. Big wings looked cool, but it was inconvenient to lean against the wall with a pair of big wings on his back. It was tiring to lift the big tail, and it would fall to the ground if he put it down. The streets of Fork Road City were filthy. The Garden District was okay, but the Lower City District was full of shit and urine. Otherwise, the wolf's voice would probably be two degrees smaller.

"Let's get straight to the point." Leon raised his glass and drank it all. "I want you to take me to the Underdark."

The wolf crossed his arms and asked in a low and hoarse voice, "Who told you that I have been to the Underdark? Can I take you to the Underdark?"

"Betty," Leon said, "a female dwarf wizard."

"Oh, so it was that crazy woman who introduced you here." The wolf glanced at Leon, "The Underdark is very dangerous, did you know that?"

The Underdark is a general term for the underground world. Although it is underground, it does not mean that it is narrow and cramped... Although some tunnels do shrink to be so narrow that even a halfling can hardly squeeze through, most of them are relatively large. The largest cave hall is like a miniature of the surface, with hills, valleys, underground rivers and lakes.

As long as he could transform into a dragon in the Underdark, there were actually many dragons in the Underdark, so Leon had nothing to worry about.

"What dangers can there be in the Underdark... Gray Dwarves, Dark Elves, or Mind Flayers?" Leon shook his head and said, "No fear."

"It seems that you have some knowledge of the Underdark beforehand. Unlike many people who come to me to lead the way to the Underdark, they have no prior preparation..." The wolf leaned back in his chair, holding the back of his head with his hands, and raised his feet to rest on the table. "In that case, I won't say more. I'm not a volunteer."

"Of course." Leon nodded slightly. It was only natural to take money to do the job.

"Ten gold coins, pay first, and all of them." The wolf looked at Leon, "Otherwise, if you die in the Underdark, who should I ask for the remaining money?"

Regardless of the country, the main coins in circulation today have similar specifications, but have different values ​​based on the metal used to strike them.

Gold coins were not often used directly for transactions, but they were a common unit of measure for wealth. A good craftsman could earn one gold coin for a day's hard work, and one gold coin could buy a goat, or be exchanged for ten silver coins, each of which could hire a coolie to work for half a day and rest for a day in a simple inn.

The ten gold coins the wolf asked for were not a high reward, but not low either. But Leon was rich, and most of the money was robbed, so he didn't feel bad about spending it. He touched ten gold coins on the table.

The wolf looked at Leon and took out ten gold coins. He was obviously stunned for a moment, licked his lips and said, "Let me emphasize that I am only responsible for leading the way, and I don't care about other things."

"No problem." Lyon said indifferently.

The wolf just stretched out his hand and took all the gold coins away, and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will run away with the money?"

"It's not worth losing your life for ten gold coins." Leon laughed.

The evil wolf looked at Leon's smile, and inexplicably felt a chill on his back, and said: "Don't worry, I have principles. Everyone in Chalu City knows that I am the most trustworthy."

Leon didn't comment and asked, "When are we leaving?"

"Any time." The wolf whistled to summon a waiter and handed over a gold coin. "Please bring me a plate of beef. It doesn't need to be roasted too well. I like it to be more juicy."

With the fine gold and whispering bark just ahead, Leon couldn't wait to head to the Underdark. The wolf was also happy, finishing a large plate of beef, and without any preparation, he led Leon out of the city.

Going to the Underdark is not that simple. First, you must find a deep cave leading to the Underdark. These deep caves are often in sparsely populated areas and are full of dangers... The dangers vary from place to place. It is not easy to encounter danger in the heart of the empire, as there is no space for monsters to survive. Unfortunately, no one in Chalu City clears out the monsters in the wild.

Not long after leaving the city, the two encountered danger.

"We need to go to the Underdark and cross the swamp ahead." The wolf suddenly sniffed, "Wait, the smell of lizardmen."

Lizardmen are primitive reptilian humanoids that lurk in the swamps and jungles of the world. Only a fool would consider a lizardman to be a scaly humanoid, for lizardmen have minds that are alien and enigmatic, their desires and thoughts driven by a different set of fundamental principles than those of warm-blooded animals.

"There are lizardmen in Forked Road City. Those lizardmen are indeed loyal and reliable allies, but these lizardmen are not. They will only treat you as a freshly grilled steak." The evil wolf nodded at Leon, "Now that you understand, let's go."

Swamp in a narrow sense emphasizes the large presence of peat, while swamp in a broad sense refers to all wetlands.

Arriving at the low-lying swamp, Leon finally had the chance to use his water-walking skill. Walking on water was very useful in such a place. It was like walking on flat ground in the swamp. He found an opportunity and attacked the lizardman closest to him.

Leon's human form is not as good as his dragon form. The strength and physique of the human form are greatly weakened. However, when the opponent is some lizardmen, there is nothing worth worrying about the human form. At that time, he easily killed the lizardman like chopping melons and vegetables.

A stealth warrior is good at killing people without being noticed. He can kill someone by covering their mouth or wiping their neck without anyone noticing. However, Leon is not a stealth warrior. He can be considered a magic knight. After all, he knows magic. It is impossible for him to kill a lizardman without making any noise. He immediately alerted the other lizardmen.

If they were alarmed, they would be alarmed. Even if they were at the leader's challenge level, they might not be as good as vampire spawn. Leon didn't care at all. He killed every lizardman that came and used a freeze spell to immobilize them for several minutes. It was not like when he was facing fire giants and vampires, he could only freeze them for a while.

On this side, the wolf had walked for a while in the swamp. Hearing the shouting, he looked back and saw Leon hacking and killing among the lizards. He had almost killed them all.

"What are you doing?" The wolf looked at the corpses of lizardmen on the ground, "Why did you kill them all?"

"Didn't you say that we have to cross the swamp if we want to go to the Underdark? How can we go there without killing them?" Leon said as a matter of course. It's no wonder he thought so. In his mind, lizardmen are not humans but monsters. He was used to killing, killing and killing in the game before he traveled through time. He killed even more after traveling through time and becoming a red dragon.

The wolf's expression was a little distorted when he heard Leon's words. He bared his teeth and said, "It's better to have less trouble than more. Just go around it, just go around it."

“I didn’t think about it that way… I’ll be more careful next time.” Leon smiled awkwardly, “Killing him is almost the same, it won’t take much time.”

"What do you mean by almost?" The Underdark was very dangerous, and the Wolf didn't want to lose his life there. He glared at Leon and warned him, "Even if the Lizardmen are not strong, I can kill them, but there is no need... Save your energy for the Underdark."

"You like killing so much. When we get to the Underdark, I will let you kill enough. I'm afraid you won't survive." The evil wolf was still not satisfied.

"Okay, I understand." Leon was easy to talk to. He still needed the wolf to lead the way.

Leon is the employer, and he is undoubtedly very strong, so he must be given face. The evil wolf only mentioned it, and did not say much, saying: "I tell you, if you want to go to the Underdark, you have to listen to me...Okay, I will pay attention next time and explain it in more detail."

After a little incident, the two people continued to move forward.

A ruin appeared deep in the swamp, where a group of lizardmen were lurking.

"The entrance to the Underdark is in that ruin. You can see it once you go in." The Wolf emphasized, "We have to sneak in now... using the method you are best at."

The wolf said as he bent down and entered stealth mode. He turned his head to look at Leon, then walked carefully into the ruins, using the broken walls to avoid the lizardman's sight...

His stealth skills were very impressive. He made no sound when he walked, and he was very quick and agile in climbing over windows and walls. He entered the depths of the ruins without any difficulty.

I wonder how long it will take that guy. I hope he won't be discovered halfway through his sneaking and then start a fight. Thinking of this, the wolf heard a familiar voice.

"Go straight through this hole in the wall and you'll reach the Underdark, right?"

The wolf looked up at Leon, then looked back and said, "Why are you ahead of me? Even if you have to use invisibility, you have to move forward. You can't be faster than me."

Leon is not good at stealth, so he chose to use the gathering and dispersion of air, which can not only achieve the effect of invisibility, but also increase the movement speed. He said: "I have my own means."

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Everyone has secrets." When the word 'secret' was mentioned, the wolf smiled and said, "You are really good. I am very happy that you finally don't have to be a babysitter and clean up the mess."

"I hate cleaning up other people's messes the most." The wolf cursed. It seemed that he had suffered a great loss in the past.
