Evil Red Dragon

Just then, the workshop door opened.

Oliveira poked her head out and smiled smugly:

"Brother, I'm done."

She held out a crystal bottle filled with a clear, pale green liquid.

Alecto took the bottle, uncorked it, sniffed it, and then downed it in one gulp. The minor healing began to take effect:

"It's definitely a standard Tier 3 healing potion."

Oliveira immediately beamed with joy.

Alecto returned the bottle to her:

"Passable, but not good enough."

The little dragon lowered its head:

"I see……"

"but."

Alecto changed the subject:

"At least you finished this time, and it didn't explode."

Oliveira's eyes lit up again.

"so."

Alecto took a small bag from his pocket and tossed it to Oliveira:

"This is yours."

The bag was heavy, and the crisp sound of gold coins clinking could be heard from inside.

Oliveira eagerly opened it, and the golden light immediately dazzled her eyes.

She counted them; there were a full 10 gold coins!

Her face immediately fell. No wonder he was her brother; he was an absolute scoundrel.

"What? You think it's not enough? Then I won't give it to you."

As Alector spoke, he reached out to take back the gold coins.

Oliveira immediately clutched the bag tightly to her chest, as if afraid it would be snatched away.

"No, thank you, brother!"

Alector looked at her and found it amusing, so he couldn't help but tempt her again:

"If you want more, earn it with results."

"I will!"

Oliveira nodded vigorously:

"I'll start learning the recipe for mana restoration potions tomorrow. Odette says they're harder, but more valuable!"

Odette sighed, thinking to herself, "The red dragon's obsession with gold coins is truly ingrained in his bones."

No, that's not it.

Alector shook his head in denial and continued:

"The result I'm referring to is the enchanting of weapons and equipment."

Oliveira's eyes widened:

"Enchantment? Those scribbles drawn on weapons?"

She looked doubtful.

"But brother, it takes humans over ten years to even begin to understand it..."

"You are a dragon."

Alecto said calmly:

"Although the dragon race's inherited memories do not contain a complete rune system, our understanding of magic far surpasses that of humans, not to mention..."

He glanced at Odette: "You have a ready-made mentor."

Odette's expression turned serious:

"Runeology does require time and patience, but Miss Oliveira has already mastered the basics of elemental manipulation, which will be a great advantage."

Alecto immediately made arrangements:

"I will have Gru allocate a batch of weapons for you to enchant. If you need any materials in the future, Odette, just ask Gru for them."

"Besides, teaching one is the same as teaching two. I'll have Kula bring his shaman apprentices to learn runes from you..."

As he spoke, he pulled out a bag of magic crystals and reluctantly handed it to Odette:

"There are some magic crystals here... take them and use them."

Odette nodded and said, "Yes, Dragon Lord."

Alecto turned back to Oliveira:

"Now, tell me your payment."

Oliveira's ears immediately perked up.

"I will pay you a reward according to your level for every piece of equipment you successfully enchant."

Alector's words made Oliveira's heart race:

"Level 1 rune, 10 gold. Level 2 rune, 20 gold. Level 3 rune, 30 gold."

"Only 30!"

Oliveira immediately jumped up to protest.

Alecto didn't care about her at all:

"Take it or leave it. You can give it to me for free if you want."

"Yes! I want it!"

Then Oliveira quickly calculated: if she could complete 10 level 3 runes a day, that would be... 6,000 gold coins a month!

This is much more profitable than her stealing and eating ibex, and it's a perfectly legitimate way to earn money without having to worry about Alecto beating her up.

But what Alecto said next calmed her down a bit:

"The prerequisite is successful enchanting; failures do not count."

Oliveira pursed her lips, but greed quickly overwhelmed that slight dissatisfaction.

She nodded vigorously:

"Deal! I'll go see Gru tomorrow!"

Seeing the excited gleam in his sister's eyes, Alecto knew that his motivational strategy had worked.

The red dragon's obsession with treasure is an instinct ingrained in his blood, and what he needs to do is use this instinct to make Oliveira willingly devote herself to it.

But he had a deeper consideration: the Red Peak Territory did indeed lack enchanters who could improve the quality of equipment, and the familiars didn't even have a decent weapon, and the equipment they had stolen wasn't very suitable for them.

Purchasing enchanted equipment from outside sources is not only expensive, but also easily exposed.

Training your own enchanters is the best long-term solution.

Although Oliveira is lazy, gluttonous, and loves to play tricks, she is at least stronger than a human.

Alecto nodded, said no more, and his body transformed back into a dragon form in the glow of magic. He flapped his wings and flew towards the dragon's nest.

Everything was arranged, but Alecto's heart was not at peace.

Because of the appearance of sulfur, he began to transform his territory into a magical industrialization, taking the most practical action at present to accelerate the arming of his own followers.

But gunpowder is ultimately an external force, a tool.

But he himself is the key.

"The third corridor must be put on the agenda."
