Chapter 349: Chapter 344: A New Journey

"Betty..." Leon muttered, as a Red Dragon, his memory was quite good, he remembered the adorable dwarf female Mage in Crossroads City who had a Mage Tower and loved summoning magic.

If it weren’t for the map that little one gave him, he wouldn’t have gone to the Dark Territory, met Werewolf Ward, known as the Evil Wolf before, obtained Whisper Tree Bark, unscathed defeated a Magma Land Shark gaining the reward of the Hand Palm Bomb through Golden Finger, resulting in the loot of a juvenile Magma Land Shark and refined gold ore... Leon was lost in thought, saying, "Is she still alive?"

"She’s a Gnome, of course, she’s alive." Tassera pursed her lips, "What are you thinking about?"

Leon chuckled, realizing Edwin, being human, had a lifespan that rarely exceeded a hundred years, while the Gnomes lived shorter lives than dragons or elves, but still considerable, reaching adulthood at forty and living for three or four hundred years easily, a bit longer for some, reaching up to five hundred was no problem, he said, "Are you sure you can call her over?"

"Crossroads City is too chaotic, not suitable for a Gnome." Tassera said, "Gnomes are generally kind, and she’s no different, at least she doesn’t bully others."

"The reason she stays in Crossroads City is mainly because she loves strange research... You’ve seen her magic pet, an imp, nowhere else but Crossroads City can accommodate her." Tassera continued, "If there’s a chance to leave that dreadful place, she’d absolutely be thrilled."

"Just leave like that, abandoning a Mage Tower?" Leon said.

"Betty is formidable, no less than Edwin, if there’s a chance to bring her over, I don’t think you’d mind having a Mage Tower." Tassera bit Leon’s shoulder, unsure herself why she did that, "Betty is easily satisfied, the Gnome’s Mage Tower doesn’t need to be big, it won’t cost much."

"If she’s willing to come over... No problem, a powerful Mage is worth a Mage Tower." Leon said, thinking that recruiting talent definitely required money, it wouldn’t be possible to call someone over with just words, "It’ll just be a little tough on Eggon."

"Then it’s settled." Tassera said, "Actually even if you didn’t agree, I still had a fifty percent chance. But with your agreement, I have a hundred percent certainty."

"So that’s it for Betty, what about the Blue Dragon?" Leon said, "You mentioned looking for an opportunity to return to the Red Crown Desert, you’d definitely want to recruit the Blue Dragon back there."

"The Green Dragons are the most cunning and treacherous of the True Dragons... Compared to a load of problems with the Green Dragons, the Blue Dragons are just somewhat arrogant." Even after all these years, Tassera still didn’t get along with Cecilia and would take any chance to belittle the Green Dragons.

"Moreover," Tassera paused, "The Blue Dragons have a highly developed sense of order, accustomed to the presence of an overlord, fitting well under the rule of a leader, most importantly any Blue Dragon can challenge the overlord for the throne, but this rarely happens, most just move."

"Such Blue Dragons..." Tassera said emotionally, "Don’t you truly like them?"

"Like them, of course, I like Blue Dragons." Leon said, kissing Tassera.

He truly didn’t lie, compared to the arrogant and brutal Red Dragons, the cunning Green Dragons, the cruel Black Dragons, or the foolish White Dragons, the Blue Dragons’ emphasis on family, unity, and loyalty satisfied him greatly, he said, "The question is how do you convince those Blue Dragons?"

Upon hearing Leon’s words, Tassera suddenly showed a distressed expression and climbed off Leon, muttering to herself, "Yes, that’s a problem."

"Although Blue Dragons also live by the coast, they still prefer the desert, don’t they?" Leon said, "Even if one can’t make it alone, there are so many Blue Dragon Overlords to turn to, why turn to a Red Dragon?"

Tassera squinted her eyes, pondered for a moment and said, "It’s not entirely hopeless."

"How so?" Leon’s pupils slightly dilated.

"Do you remember why you had to leave the desert back then?" Without waiting for Leon to answer, Tassera continued on her own, "The resources in the desert are so scarce, scarce to the point where Blue Dragons are a dedicated carnivorous species, yet they often have to eat snakes, lizards, or even desert plants to satisfy their immense hunger."

"Compared to the barren desert, the ocean’s resources are abundant, plenty of fish, never worrying about not having meat." Tassera bit her finger, "Also, Blue Dragons are still dragons, they love gold and treasures, but in the desert, except for occasionally encountering a camel caravan to rob a bit of money, there are almost no money-making opportunities."

Leon seemed to understand what Tassera was implying.

"Exactly." Tassera confirmed what Leon was thinking, "As long as we’re willing to offer benefits, surely some Blue Dragons would be willing to leave their homeland to join us."

"Speaking of which, Blue Dragons love the color blue, favor blue gemstones, and the sea is just one giant blue gemstone." Tassera laughed, "Although I’m not very fond of the sea, there are quite a few Blue Dragons who like it, and also love bronze dragons."

Leon nodded.

"So then?" Tassera said, "Do you think I should first go and find Betty or head to the Red Crown Desert first?"

"You know I have decision fatigue." Leon glanced at Tassera.

Tassera thought for a moment and said, "I think it’s best to start with the easier task. First, go to Crossroads City to find Betty, then head to the Red Crown Desert to find the Blue Dragons."

"Either way works." Leon said nonchalantly, suddenly noticing Tassera’s bright eyes looking at him, "Is there any other problem?"

"Aren’t you tired of staying on Volcanic Island every day?" As a Storage Dragon, Tassera needed to travel often, she always had a fondness for traveling, "Anyway, it’s almost the same with or without you here."

"What do you mean by it’s almost the same with or without me?" Leon said discontentedly.

"Don’t you delegate everything to others?" Tassera said.

"Just because I don’t manage things, doesn’t mean that without me, the entire Zhen Dan Kingdom would fall apart." Leon said confidently.

"I don’t care about that." Tassera lowered her head to look at Leon who was lying on the bed, her hair cascading down both sides, "I just ask, are you going?"

"Been to Crossroads City." Leon said.

"You’ve been there, but you hardly ever had fun in Crossroads City, right?" Tassera recalled, "I remember you got the refined gold ore and hastily returned to have someone craft weapons from it."

"In that case, let’s go and have some fun." Leon actually wanted to go out for a stroll, although he could just fly anywhere he wanted, he just felt too lazy to move without a reason.

"First to Crossroads City, then to the Red Crown Desert." Tassera had it all planned out, "To recruit those Blue Dragons, my efforts alone aren’t enough."
