Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 4 Here we go again

Lyon walked along the river for ten minutes. He was wondering how the nest should be built. Should a bird just casually build a nest with branches and leaves?
Leon noticed his claws. Aren’t these claws used for digging holes?

After deciding to dig a hole and build a nest, now you have to decide on the location of the nest... Because without a river there is no food source, so it must be close to a river.

Leon wagged his tail and looked around, recalling the results of his recent scouting. He remembered that there was a place whose terrain was higher than the river next to it. The key point was that the place was made entirely of mud, not hard sand and gravel. It was definitely a good place to dig a hole and build a nest.

Leon, who couldn't fly, spent nearly half an hour finding his ideal nesting spot. After a brief observation, he drew a blueprint on the soil with his claws and then began to act.

Leon raised his butt and buried his head in digging, using his claws to dig.

His claws are very sharp, and especially because of his great strength, his digging speed... is still no match for an excavator.

He thought that he was growing very fast and he should dig a big hole for future consideration. Then he remembered that the mud hole could be widened at any time, so he finally dug a hole that allowed him to pass through.

For ordinary people, digging is not an easy task even with the help of tools, but for a dragon it is a piece of cake. It only took Lyon half a day to dig a hole, and then expand the end of the hole to a space large enough for him to turn around and move.

Leon was a little ambitious, after all, this was where he was going to live. In his plan, this nest must have several exits, preferably a hidden underwater exit. Although this was the mother dragon's territory, he would not be in real danger living here... Who could refuse such a cool nest?
Leon wanted to complete his plan in one go, but his stomach wouldn't allow it, so he had no choice but to get out of the hole and look for something to eat.

The young dragon jumped into the river skillfully, aimed at a big fish and swung its tail violently. Unfortunately, it was not night and the active big fish was faster than him, resulting in a missed catch.

The young dragon, which had become extremely excited because it had just dug a nest, finally calmed down. It carefully approached the big fish and attacked them by surprise, or crawled on the bottom of the water, opened its big mouth and used a piece of snail meat to "fish".

About half an hour later, the well-fed young dragon climbed ashore and couldn't wait to return to his nest to admire the results of his work.

Sure enough, the space is still too small and needs to be further expanded, which would require a lot of work.

As for the ground, should the mud be compacted? Or should we just lay some stones on it? There happened to be a lot of river pebbles outside, which were inexhaustible.

Now you can find some branches and leaves to build a "bed", but there is no need.

Leon was thinking wildly. He had countless ideas, but before he could start to act, he felt sleepy. Sleep, sleep when you are sleepy, he just found a place and curled up.

Right here, just as he closed his eyes, the familiar ding-dong sound rang again.

here we go again!?

During this period, he had been trying to find the golden finger, but it was always in vain. He had no choice but to give up. In the end, he had almost forgotten that he had a golden finger. Unexpectedly, it appeared again today.
In short, the black progress sheet appeared first, and then -

“Home Sweet Home – Have your own nest.”

"General reward: Mastery of natural weapons."

The eye-catching red color jumped out again.

"mistake!"

"mistake!"

"mistake!"

"Mismatch!"

"Search again!" "Searching...match successful."

Same plot, the eye-catching red color returns to normal here.

“Home Sweet Home – Have your own nest.”

"Ordinary reward: sword control."

Swordsmanship?
Leon shuddered and got up, and his deep sleepiness disappeared in an instant.

Leon climbed out of the nest and prepared to use the sword-wielding technique he had just learned, but he discovered an important thing - sword-wielding undoubtedly required a sword, but he had no sword at hand.

Well, he remembered that there were all kinds of things in the river outside, and he once found a rusty suit of armor at the bottom of the river. Since there was a rusty suit of armor, there might be a sword.

Lyon excitedly left the nest and decisively jumped into the river. He swam forward along the river bottom, looking around as he swam, and occasionally floated to the surface to catch his breath.

……

……

Leon was searching hard for a sword in the river, any sword would do. At the same time, in the dragon's nest on the cliff, the mother dragon had just returned after inspecting her territory.

At this time, on the tattered floor tiles of the temple that served as the dragon's nest, a young dragon was concentrating on honing its natural abilities. The young dragon had beautiful lines that Leon did not have, and its nose was much more delicate. It was a little female dragon, and when it heard the heavy footsteps, it immediately turned around and found that the female dragon had returned to the nest.

"Mother, you're back." The little dragon said in a sharp voice.

"Hmm." The mother dragon responded casually, walked to the gray-white stone pillar and lay down, then her ferocious head hit the ground, and two streams of smoke came out of her nose.

The little dragon didn't pay attention to the mother's perfunctory response, and continued to busy herself with honing her natural abilities, running and chasing. Without brothers and sisters, she could only treat the air as an opponent and enemy, biting and swiping at it, then flapping her wings to fly and then diving towards the ground, venting her energy that had nowhere to go.

The charging little dragon bumped into the mother dragon who was squinting her eyes and preparing to sleep. Not only did she wake the mother dragon up, she even climbed onto her body.

As long as the treasure was not touched, the mother dragon could tolerate the little female dragon's mischief, but it was still a bit annoying because the little female dragon climbed onto her neck and said, "Saloves, I don't know when you will learn to be as sensible as your brother, run out of the nest by yourself, be self-reliant, and don't need parental care."

"Brother?" Saloves muttered, her eyes widened, "My brother?"

"Um, um..." The little female dragon nodded her big head, "My brother who jumped off the cliff, is he still alive?"

"Of course," the dragon replied.

The dragonlet is living outside and is not in danger of life. The mother dragon is too lazy to take it back, so it is better to have less trouble than more.

"Where is he now?" Compared to the mother dragon, the little female dragon was obviously very excited.

The mother dragon told what she saw. Her eldest son relied on fishing for a living every day. Today, for some reason, he suddenly thought of digging a hole. She also warned the little mother dragon to be obedient, otherwise she would drive him out and let the two siblings make a living together.

"I'm going to find him." The little dragon screamed, flapping its wings.

She certainly didn't miss her brother, but she wanted to show off in front of her brother who was busy fishing and digging holes. She was even more excited when she heard that her brother still couldn't fly and was really a freak.
