Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 27 I am a barbarian
Leon didn't know that the witch had ill intentions towards him, he just had a prejudice against witches and thought that they were useless. You can trade, but you must remain vigilant.

Anyway, he and the kobold went back under the cover of night. Compared to having to walk when they left, Leon, who had memorized the way, could fly. He picked up the kobold with one claw and flew back easily, and then they went back to their respective homes to find their mothers.

Leon didn't know how the witch did things, so he used his disguise to transform into an old woman and went to the human town to find a blacksmith to help him make custom weapons, or to ask an agent for help.

Material selection, forging, quenching, grinding, polishing... Each step requires time and energy. Without the support of modern equipment, it takes a lot of time to make a non-standard broadsword. Lyon can understand that it takes a lot of time, but a month and a half has passed and there is still no news, which really makes him impatient.

Finally, after almost two months, Leon received the news that the witch's mission was completed.

"Shall we go find Aunt Peggy now?" the Kobold asked. "Hawks is ready."

"Give me the thing." Leon reached out to the kobold, took the small mirror and stared at the kobold. He knew that the witch used the emblem to contact the kobold from time to time. "Did Aunt Peggy ask you to notify it before we set off?"

With the arrogance of the red dragon, other dragons look down on them, not to mention those who are not even dragons, all of them are servants. Adult red dragons are like this, as are young dragons and dragon chicks. It seems that the dragon sister has that kind of personality. However, Leon is not a normal red dragon. He insists that it is better to be safe than sorry.

Hearing Leon's words, the kobold shook his head like a rattle.

The dog-headed man's expression management was really ridiculous. Leon saw it at a glance... In fact, he was just going to hit the target with a stick. Anyway, a dog doesn't need respect. At that time, he threatened: "Lie! This is a lie! Do you want to become my meal?"

"No, no, I don't want to." The kobold shook his head and backed away.

“Speak!” Leon yelled, “Tell me everything! This is an order!”

"Surprise." The dog-headed man suddenly squatted on the ground holding his head. Unfortunately, it was not a loli but an ugly dog-headed man. Squatting with his head held was not cute but funny. "Aunt Peggy said she has a surprise for you, and she won't let me tell you, otherwise there will be no surprise."

It is impossible for a dog to betray the goddess. It is impossible for a kobold to betray a dragon unless it is another dragon, but it can be done in a roundabout way.

"Surprise? I think it's more of a shock." Leon had never believed in the witch, and the facts proved that his suspicion was correct. "I'll take this thing away... Now you stay here and don't worry about the rest."

He needed to take away the small mirror to ensure that the witch had no way to contact the kobold to do anything else.

"Yes, yes, yes." The dog-headed man dared not disobey Leon and nodded repeatedly.

Leon gave the kobold some instructions and left. On the way back, he thought for a moment and said to the small mirror, "Aunt Peggy."

"Hey." The witch's voice sounded quickly, "Why did my baby think of contacting your Aunt Peggy?"

"I heard you made the sword for me?"

"Aunt Peggy helped my sweetheart find the best dwarf master to forge the best sword."

"That's right," Leon said, "I'll pick it up in three days."

"Okay. Aunt Peggy is waiting for you, little cutie." The witch's voice was particularly enthusiastic, just like an aunt who loved her nephew. "Remember to bring back the things I gave you."

"Of course." Leon said and put the small mirror on the tree branch without throwing it away.

In case the evil witch didn't do anything tricky, he would still return this thing to her.

This time, not only did he not need to walk, he also did not need to be distracted by a kobold. Leon took the sword, spread his wings and flew into the air. Each time he flapped his wings, he flew more than ten meters. It took less than half an hour to reach the sky above Aunt Peggy's cabin.

As soon as Leon landed on the ground, the door of Aunt Peggy's cottage opened, and a hoarse and sharp voice sounded immediately: "Who wants to steal Aunt Peggy's things? Strangle you to death, you little rascal."

The witch who looked like an old woman walked out of the hut and was stunned when she saw Leon standing in the open space.

"You, why are you here?" The witch could feel that the small mirror she gave to the other party was far away. Normally, it shouldn't be here. Besides, didn't everyone just make an agreement not long ago? "Didn't you say you would come in three days?"

"I wanted to come in three days, but I couldn't wait so I came now." Leon spit out the sword, "Give me my sword."

"It's not yours yet." "I need to inspect the goods first."

"Come in." The witch rolled her eyes. "Go into Aunt Peggy's hut first, and then Aunt Peggy will show you the sword."

"Your hut is too small. I can't get in."

"If you don't want to go in, then don't go in. You are such a heartless person."

"So, where's my sword?"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, what are you in such a hurry for, you little ghost." The witch turned and came in, slamming the door shut with a "bang" sound, and threw out a sword a moment later, "Take your time to inspect the goods... After you're done, Aunt Peggy will have a gift for you. Although you don't care about Aunt Peggy, Aunt Peggy loves you."

Leon ignored the witch and picked up the sword to examine it.

This new sword was more than twice as long as his old one, and made of better materials. Its length, width, and height were all doubled, and its weight was more than eight times that of the old one. Fortunately, he had grown a lot bigger now, and his strength had increased accordingly, so it was not very stressful to use it.

Leon was busy binding the new sword, and put his mind back on the new sword... He couldn't be too focused, as he had to be on guard against the witch.

In fact, the witch was more worried about Leon, because Leon came unexpectedly without any preparation in advance. She was hiding in the house at this time, busy drinking this potion and that potion, potion to increase fire resistance, potion to increase strength, and she couldn't call back the thugs... She really didn't dare to delay for a moment.

Leon finally completed the binding, and from then on the object of his sword-wielding technique became the new sword.

The witch had finished her work and walked out of the hut carrying a fainted little girl.

"Look, what gift Aunt Peggy prepared for you?" the witch said flatteringly, "A little girl, still alive, fresh and delicious."

Leon looked at the little girl with a distorted expression. I just said it casually, and you took it seriously?

By now, Leon was certain that the witch was up to something, otherwise why would he go through so much trouble?
An ordinary red dragon might lose all his guard when seeing the little girl, but Leon, who possesses a human soul, would only be more vigilant.

Aunt Peggy held the little girl close to Leon, put her on the ground, and said with a smile: “This is the delicacy that Aunt Peggy prepared specially for you. You must eat it all in big mouthfuls.”

Leon remained motionless and said calmly: “No.”

"Why don't you eat?" The witch clenched her hands into fists nervously.

Leon stuck out his tongue to lick the corners of his mouth and teeth, and said, “I’m afraid it’s poisonous.”

"What kind of poison it is? I don't know." The witch said with a wry smile.

"You despicable liar, a filthy robber, and a wicked creature." The witch suddenly screamed, ripped off the kind and gentle old woman's coat, and instantly turned into a tall monster. "I will kill you, peel off your skin, and pull out your intestines."

Leon laughed and said, “I knew you had bad intentions.”

“You are still the same.” The witch pointed her long claws at Leon. “If you hadn’t wanted to default on your debt from the beginning and not give Aunt Peggy a penny, Aunt Peggy wouldn’t have done that. You were the first one to do it.”

"Trash, bad seed, rotten stuff..." The witch kept cursing Leon, as ugly as it could be.

“Yes, bad seed, I am a bad seed.” Leon’s expression was distorted by the scolding, and he didn’t care whether the witch could understand him or not, “I am a red dragon now, I can do whatever I want.”

"You can't do anything, you can only die." Although he failed to trick the little girl into eating the poison, it was just a baby red dragon, and it was nothing in front of Aunt Peggy who was resistant to fire and well prepared.

Aunt Peggy is sure to win.
