Tale of the Red Dragon Without Dragon’s Might
Chapter 348 - 343 All Rolled Up

Chapter 348: Chapter 343 All Rolled Up

Although dragons are naturally uninterested in religion, as they can grow into the most powerful beings in the multi-universe without relying on any external force, learning to be self-sufficient and self-serving from the moment they hatch, they neither seek assistance from divine beings nor pray for mercy.

Regardless, for Bahamut and Tiamat, who created the Metal Dragons and Colorful Dragons, many Metal Dragons will pledge allegiance to Bahamut, at the very least show respect and pay tribute, while Colorful Dragons may fear, respect, admire, and flatter Tiamat.

Even Tiamat, after several years, only managed to persuade two Green Dragons to join Leon. Of course, a few years mean nothing to dragons, as they pass by with a slight delay.

In this case, Isily is just a young Silver Dragon, how could it be so easy to convince Grianna, an adult Silver Dragon, to submit to a Red Dragon.

Especially since Grianna lives in the Lost Plateau, close to Watchtower Port, once faced several recruitment attempts from Leon and remained unmoved, causing some unpleasantness.

Isily visited the Lost Plateau three times, and at first received warm hospitality from Grianna. After two visits, even meeting was impossible, only to face closed doors, which left her somewhat weary, unknowingly being the anomaly.

For a normal Silver Dragon, it is only normal for a kingdom established by a Red Dragon to lean towards Tiamat. When that day really comes, just invite righteous people from all circles to form an alliance and crusade the Red Dragon, finally destroying that evil kingdom.

Everything Isily did was seen by Leon.

As for Isily’s failures, and not doing her job... diplomats doing personnel work is considered not doing their job, Leon didn’t care at all, he was even quite satisfied, because sometimes attitude is more important than ability.

The joining of Terar, Laisone, and Isily didn’t lighten Leon’s workload, because he didn’t work, at most taking some time each week to look at documents and sign them, but it effectively relieved Prime Minister Cecilia’s workload.

As long as you’re capable of working, there’s endless work to be done, as long as you can endure hardship, there’s endless hardship to endure.

Leon couldn’t possibly let Cecilia stop, though he was unwilling to work, he didn’t mind doing some planning, knowing that before his transmigration he really enjoyed playing management games, like the Civilization series, often playing so long he lost track of time, one blink of an eye and a day was gone.

The long-talked-about newspaper must be started this time. If you don’t occupy the ground of public opinion, the enemy will. The Talia Alliance persistently slanders him, he absolutely cannot sit by and accept it.

All banks in Watchtower Port were established by the chambers of commerce from the Talia Alliance, completely out of control. Leon believed the Zhen Dan Kingdom needed a Central Bank, to prepare for future currency issuance.

Development relies on high-quality talent, education must be promoted, especially education in loyalty and patriotism.

"How can I do so many things alone..." Leon constantly squeezed out, finally breaking Cecilia, "You might as well kill me."

"How could I bear to kill my princess?" Leon nodded with a smile, "A massage is doable though."

Cecilia snorted coldly.

Leon thought for a moment, then said, "The Central Bank can be put on hold for now, even if it’s established it won’t be used... just manage the newspaper industry well, or you could delegate the task of starting a newspaper to Laisone, after all, only a silver-tongued Green Dragon can excel in propaganda, just manage the expansion of Watchtower Port."

Edwin’s laboratory was completed half a year ago, six months later the research progresses very slowly, clearly, the physics and chemistry of this world are different from Earth, after all, Earth wouldn’t have countless Fire Elements emerge from a single great fire, causing trouble with steam Mephits from boiling water...

Edwin’s experiments are indeed important, but what Leon is most concerned about is the research of the Fallen Druids, not knowing when those Fallen Druids could develop high-yield hybrid wheat.

Leon still remembers how he talked to those Fallen Druids about hybridization, grafting, genetic modification and the like, those Fallen Druids were thrilled... those technologies are considered heresy in this world, but for Fallen Druids, they’re nothing.

If three visits to the thatched cottage don’t work, make it four or five, Leon hadn’t expected Isily to have so much patience, spending months persuading Grianna.

Leon asked around about how Isily persuaded Grianna, it turns out she had Grianna’s good friend, Cloud Giant Manucus, appear before Grianna every day... it’s not the tough brother you’re afraid of, but the brother with a luxury car; when Grianna had thoughts, he promised if Grianna was willing to join the Zhen Dan Kingdom, he would let him be in charge of commerce and such, overseeing merchants like Cloud Giant Manucus.

Strictly speaking, what Isily promised hadn’t been approved by Leon, but as long as she could recruit Grianna, Leon didn’t care about those small matters. Now the Zhen Dan Kingdom is still in a savage growth stage, might as well wait for it to grow before considering pruning.

Clever Isily, having sorted out Grianna, began setting her sights on Bronze Dragon Tatiss, but she wasn’t familiar with her counterpart, needing to think carefully.

Isily’s actions were entirely seen by Cecilia, who inexplicably felt a sense of crisis, and couldn’t help but send people to find out where any unaccomplished Colorful Dragons could be recruited, otherwise, she might not be able to suppress this rising star.

Isily and Cecilia got competitive, causing Tassera to also take notice, lying on Leon’s chest at night, she asked, "Do you think I should do something too?"

Tassera described Isily’s and Cecilia’s affairs, saying, "Since they are so dedicated, perhaps I shouldn’t remain idle either."

"It’s no big deal." Leon wrapped his arms around Tassera, he still preferred human form because there are more entertaining variations, "No matter how dedicated they are, I’m still idle."

"You’re different," Tassera said, "You’re the King."

"And you’re still the Queen." Leon was dismissive.

"My position as Queen relies entirely on your favor, any moment I could be dethroned." Tassera said wistfully, thinking that before she was able to assist Leon in many ways as a Mage, she wasn’t afraid of being abandoned by him, but now as talents like Edwin, who had more profound spell expertise, began to gather around Leon, she couldn’t help but be concerned.

"What do you want to do?" Leon caressed Tassera’s hair.

"Do you think I should go find Betty... you remember that Dwarf Female Mage, right? I’m confident I can bring her over," Tassera looked at Leon, "or should I find an opportunity to return to the Red Crown Desert?"
