Tale of the Red Dragon Without Dragon's Might-Chapter 428 - 422: There Are Always More Solutions Than Problems
Chapter 428: Chapter 422: There Are Always More Solutions Than Problems
All along, Leon was only responsible for proposing ideas, with all specific execution handed over to his subordinates. The construction of the Undead Factory was no exception.
As the Undead Mine smoothly began production, subsequent projects of the Undead Steel Factory and Forging Factory were fully handed over to Cecilia to assist Laksha. With no urgent matters at hand, Leon decided to thoroughly study the Star Realm speedboat and Astral Sailboat he brought back from Tunaras, as well as the Hell War Machine confiscated from Aphnas.
Operating those Githyanki vehicles requires mastering Spiritual Energy, and starting those Hell War Machines requires infusing the engine with soul coins... The power of the Hell War Machines comes from soul combustion, making it somewhat cumbersome to use. Leon hoped that after modification, they could run on ordinary fuel.
The ideal is full, but the reality is skinny. If he had mastered Mechanical Techniques in advance through Golden Finger rewards, he would definitely have made some findings. Unfortunately, he didn’t; he even didn’t study mechanics in college, being a magic idiot, destined to only superficially understand the essentials and merely engage in some exterior decoration.
Time flies, and another half a year goes by in the blink of an eye. Tasserra, Cecilia, and Fiora’s bellies still show no movement.
The emperor isn’t anxious; the eunuch is worried—Isily hoped Fiora would take the initiative a bit more, and not be too conservative and restrained in the pleasures of love... She was the only one who thought so. Sometimes, in the deep of night, she would let her imagination run wild, knowing that after a few more years, she would enter the young adult stage where she could lay eggs.
Cecilia looked for reasons in Leon, thinking he was too young, having just entered the young adult stage for a few years, while most dragons wait until mid-young adulthood to gain fertility.
Tasserra, meanwhile, buried herself in the vast sea of books, scouring for Magic Books and Magic Items that could temporarily elevate life levels, sending letters to known Mages for help.
A year is neither too short nor too long. For dragons, it passes in the blink of an eye. Finally, the Brass Dragon and Efreeti returned from the Lost Plateau to Watchtower Port.
Their return signified that the project upgrading the Volcanic Island from a Feng Shui treasure to a Cave Heaven Blessed Land was nearing completion.
The final touches were crucial, requiring Leon, who mastered Feng Shui Techniques, to personally oversee, spending several months going back and forth in the process.
"Finally done."
After months of work, Leon now only wanted to lie down, but despite the hardships and exhaustion, it was all worth it.
Given the abundant Spiritual Energy on the Volcanic Island now, Leon was sure that by staying here for two or three months, the increase in Mana would extend the duration of his Fatian Xiangdi by a precious second.
Once he reaches adulthood, he won’t have to count the seconds during Fatian Xiangdi cast anymore, except for the question of why someone would want to counter his Fatian Xiangdi.
With the Volcanic Island becoming a Cave Heaven Blessed Land, the change was so noticeable that not only Leon could feel it clearly, even the maids working on the island noticed it. This change slightly elevated the status of several small islands nearby, just barely making it to the list of Feng Shui treasures.
"You completed the work excellently this time." Leon always remembered the Brass Dragon, never treating him differently because he was a male dragon, "The small island northeast of the Volcanic Island... I permit you to nest there."
The Brass Dragon, not adept in Feng Shui Techniques, only followed Leon’s construction requests. At this point, not understanding the reasoning, he replied, "I have a lair and don’t need to nest, and I don’t like to nest on an island. I dislike water."
Indeed, Brass Dragons prefer to nest in hot, dry, rocky areas, favoring desert canyons, dry earthed caves, or ancient stone ruins. If it weren’t for Leon’s threats, he would likely still be in the Red Crown Desert, indulging in statue carving and seeking conversations everywhere.
"I’m telling you, go; it’s only beneficial, not detrimental." Leon paused, "Anyway, I’m giving you the opportunity, so don’t blame me later if you regret it."
"Wait, can you be more specific?" the Brass Dragon queried further.
"Haven’t you been complaining about my favoritism, not letting you live on the Volcanic Island?" Leon answered, "Now the small island where I permit you to nest is no different from the former Volcanic Island."
"Really?" The Brass Dragon’s eyes immediately brightened, thinking Leon was really considerate, never forgetting him as an old friend, until he realized the newly-arrived Black Dragon, Laksha, had moved to the Volcanic Island.
It wasn’t that Leon held friends lightly while favoring beauty. The reason he allowed Laksha to move to the Volcanic Island was truly due to the Black Dragon’s significant contributions, establishing several well-operating Undead Factories based on the Undead Black Scripture over such a short period, consistently abiding by the rules.
However, Laksha’s ambition was to become Leon’s mate, not just due to her mating instinct, but also because she knew that once becoming Leon’s mate, she could have whatever she wanted—bread would be there, butter as well.
Unfortunately, until Tasserra, Cecilia, and Fiora successfully conceived, this wish might be difficult to achieve—everyone absolutely wouldn’t allow a new competitor at a crucial moment.
In fact, it wasn’t only Laksha who had to wait; Isily also had to wait—the Silver Dragon would vehemently deny having any interest in Red Dragons, yet those inside may be oblivious whereas those outside could see clearly—regarding Salovis being Leon’s biological sister, she was Leon’s sister...
Anyway, now that the Volcanic Island became a Cave Heaven Blessed Land, Leon finally relaxed. Then, one sunny morning, while Leon lounged comfortably in the Molten Lava Pool, he suddenly saw Tasserra landing before him.
Tasserra’s visible excitement and thrill on her face spoke volumes as she said, "Didn’t I say earlier... the primary reason we haven’t had offspring is that your life level is higher than ours?"
"For us to successfully conceive, we must elevate our life levels." Tasserra hesitated for a moment; as a Storage Dragon, she was always meticulous, "Though it’s not entirely without opportunity, it’s merely very difficult to succeed."
"Now that the Volcanic Island is a Cave Heaven Blessed Land, give me some more time, and I guarantee to upgrade it to a Heavenly Realm. By that time, living here, achieving demigod status will just be a matter of time," Leon said, thinking if acquiring Divine could be considered gaining inclusion, there would be reproductive isolation within and outside the system.
"I can’t wait that long." Tasserra growled low, "That might take hundreds of years."
Even if the Volcanic Island upgraded to a Heavenly Realm, coupled with dragons being top-tier Magic Creatures, and with the assistance of Heavenly Immortal Pill and Dual Cultivation, Leon still lacked confidence in transforming everyone into demigods within a century to elevate life levels. He said, "Can’t wait but have to..."
"How? Have you come up with a method?" Leon raised his eyes.
"Have you heard of Karsas?" Tasserra asked, "Karsas’s Ascension Technique." ƒгeewebnovёl_com
