Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 5 Danger is coming?

After swimming along the riverbed for a long time and searching carefully, Leon indeed found quite a few pieces of armor, but they were basically not complete sets. Some were badly damaged, such as a big hole in the chest, or simply crushed by a powerful force from an unknown source. There were also bones inside the armor, and some were even more severely melted.

Is that the armor left behind by the adventurer killed by the mother dragon? The melted armor is very red dragon-like, maybe it was melted by the red dragon's breath of fire. The corroded fragments may be the red dragon swallowing an adventurer, and the stomach acid didn't corrode it thoroughly enough and pulled it out...

In any case, several sets of armor were found, so there is no reason why not even a sword can be found. Even if the sword is corroded beyond recognition, or even if it is broken into half, as long as it is a sword, it is enough.

What it is?
Before Leon found the sword, he discovered a giant alligator turtle, bigger than a millstone, lurking motionless at the bottom of the river. It was covered with water plants and could not be seen without careful observation.

The giant snapping turtle may look a bit dull and slow, but they can actually accelerate quite fast and launch aggressive attacks on smaller creatures. Of course, the point is that their attack is quite terrible, and their bite is enough to bite off a human torso.

Leon avoided the giant alligator turtle. Thinking of such a scary monster hiding at the bottom of the river, he became much more careful from then on.

Leon didn't know how long he had been searching. It was already dark, the stars were shining, and he finally found a sword.

He bit the hilt of the sword, swung his tail and floated to the surface of the water, slowly swam to the shore, and spit it out on the ground.

There was only a little starlight, and everything was pitch black, but it didn't affect Leon who had dark vision at all. There were only a few spots of rust on the blade of the sword, and it was obviously still usable and would not break if moved. His hard work in finding it was not in vain.

"First, we need to bind..."

The dragonfly muttered, looking down at the sword, reaching out with its claws to grasp the sword.

Dragon claws are not suitable for grasping. Although they can hold objects with their claws, this grasp is not precise enough to use tools, write or wield weapons. Leon is no exception. He can't swing the sword properly.

But Leon was not in a hurry at all, because he knew that this was just the beginning. He tried hard to stand up, using his hind legs and tail to keep his balance, then raised his sword high in front of his chest facing the sky and used the sword control technique. The first step to using the sword control technique is to bind a sword.

Leon spent some time focusing his mind on the sword and binding himself to it. He immediately felt that the sword was like his arm, wielding it with ease.

Blinking his eyes, Leon threw the sword in his hand back into the river. Seeing the sword disappear into the water, he clenched his claws and saw the sword fly from the river into his hand.

The young dragon looked down at the sword in his hand, wondering if this was some kind of Fel Knight weapon bond? Use a magical bond ritual to create a bond with a weapon, and your bonded weapon cannot be disarmed unless you are incapacitated. If the weapon is on the same plane of existence as you, you can summon the weapon as a bonus action on your turn, causing it to be instantly teleported to your hand.

The Magic Knight has mastered the use of almost all weapons, so he doesn't need to consider weapon proficiency. His binding obviously has some of the effects of the Contract Master's Blade Magic Contract, which is to naturally master the proficiency of the contracted weapon, but it does not have the effect of treating it as a magic weapon when targeting resistance.

Finally, if it were just this, it wouldn't be worthy of the name of swordsmanship.

The young dragon took a deep breath, gripped the hilt tightly and made a sword flower, then pressed the other claw on the sword, a flash of light flashed across the sword, and then threw the sword into the sky.

The sword did not fall to the ground. It hung above the dragonfly's head, making a buzzing sound, as if it was hanging a bell.

Seeing this scene, Leon was determined in his heart, and waved forward with a "go".

As he moved, the sword flew out like a dazzling white silk.

A sudden inspiration came to Leon, who raised two fingers together and turned them in a circle. The flying sword immediately turned in a circle in the sky. His sword-controlling skills were indeed extraordinary, but after just a while, he obviously felt a little dizzy and could not continue.

……

……

That's when the sun is high in the sky.

Yesterday he worked hard to dig a nest, went down to the river to look for weapons, and finally performed sword-wielding techniques, which really consumed his physical strength. Lyon slept for more than twelve hours. When he woke up and looked at the sword under him, he felt that it was all worth it.

Isn't it that many people choose to lie low because they pay a lot but don't get the corresponding return? If they can get a return, many people are willing to take a chance.

Regardless of those things, Leon was really hungry now, so he had no choice but to throw away his sword, climb out of the nest and jump into the river to catch fish.

Leon soon finished foraging and returned to his nest, rolling around with his sword in his arms, fantasizing about a bright future... With his small body, he would have no way to defeat the mother dragon even with his sword-wielding skills. He couldn't let the other party be out of his reach, so he had to return to reality and think about how to transform the nest.

Now this nest has only one entrance and exit, so it would be difficult to escape if you encounter an enemy. The giant alligator turtle that he encountered in the river yesterday proved that the mother dragon's territory was also dangerous, and he was not worrying about nothing.

One entrance and exit is definitely not enough, at least three are needed, and the three entrances and exits must be scattered in three different directions, hidden in places no one would expect, behind a big rock, or under a rare and lush bush... It would be best to hide it at the bottom of the river, right? Anyway, as long as his nest is higher than the river surface, there is no need to worry about the river water flowing back into it.

That's a huge project and it can't be completed in a day or two. It would be better to just complete the simple work now.

Because of its scales and thick hide, a dragon's sense of touch is often poor. Thus, a dragon can sleep comfortably on a pile of uneven treasure, as long as the pile conforms slightly to the dragon's curves. Although dragons are also sensitive to pain, anything that can penetrate their thick hide and scales will get their full attention.

However, the scales of a young dragon are slightly more immature than those of an adult dragon, and therefore are much more sensitive to the touch.

In this case, compacting the mud or laying pebbles on the ground can effectively improve the comfort of the nest and is more suitable for him.

Roar--

Lyon suddenly heard a roar, coming from the cave entrance.

Is it such a coincidence that, speak of the devil and he will appear?
Is the danger coming so soon?

He couldn't hide in his nest, as that would be like waiting for death.

Thinking of this, Leon touched the sword and gripped the hilt tightly. Although he had a lot of fun practicing the sword control technique yesterday and exhausted all his mana, he slept for a long time in one go, and now he has recovered after a long rest.

Leon dragged the sword towards the cave entrance.
