102: Chapter 102: The Circling Blue Dragon 102: Chapter 102: The Circling Blue Dragon Just after obtaining the weapon and leaving the Volcano, leaving the Black Desert, Leon immediately flew towards Oasis City.

He was going to find Tassera, not for any particular reason, simply to show off.

He didn’t have many friends, at most one Blue Dragon and one Brass Dragon.

The latter was too chatty, so Leon only talked when approached, never out of his own initiative.

Compared to last time when he showed off the Sleeve of the Universe to Tassera, his visit this time was not as smooth.

He couldn’t find anyone at the Blue Dragon’s shop in Oasis City or its lair in the desert.

Could it be that Tassera was still in Crossroads City after all this time?

Having no other option, Leon sulkily returned to Dome Castle by the Molten Lava Lake, idly watching Efreeti train young Magma Land Sharks, as if he was training dogs.

The waste of the young Magma Land Sharks, being elemental creatures, was similar to minerals and didn’t smell, so there was no need to worry about toilet issues.

The first thing Efreeti had to teach the young Magma Land Sharks was not to bite people randomly and not to attack Salamanders and Fire Snakes.

They couldn’t beat the former, but could certainly manage the latter.

However, after watching for a while, Leon felt tired and began yawning, preparing to sleep.

After all, he had worked hard for nearly a month to forge the Catastrophe Blade, using Samadhi True Fire every day to assist in forging, according to the Evil Flame Fire Giant’s advice, that the Samadhi True Fire could burn off impurities without damaging the rest.

What Leon couldn’t understand was why Efreeti, who was equally tired, seemed to need no rest after returning to the Molten Lava Lake, and energetically trained the young Magma Land Sharks…Was training the young Magma Land Sharks not work but enjoyment for the malicious slave-driving Efreeti?

It is said that many officials work hard while in office but bloom with vigor every day, and once they retire into inactivity, they tend to wither gradually.

After resting well for two days, due to having acquired a Divine weapon and not wanting to keep it all to himself, Leon thought it over and decided to seek Brass Dragon for a good chat.

Taking immediate action, Leon quickly found the Brass Dragon’s lair, where the Brass Dragon was making statues, using its claws as chisels to skillfully hammer and chisel.

Leon didn’t hide his tracks deliberately, with such a big commotion it was impossible to conceal his presence from the Brass Dragon.

“You’re back…” the Brass Dragon saw Leon, the Red Dragon, “You startled me, I thought those guys had come.”

“Those guys…

which guys could possibly scare you?” Leon said, “It couldn’t be the Male-faced Sphinx hunting you down, could it?”

If it wasn’t for the Male-faced Sphinx guarding the tomb of the Ancient Fallen Empire, Leon couldn’t think of any monster that could scare a mature Brass Dragon.

“Blue Dragon, it was the Blue Dragon.” The Brass Dragon stopped its work, after all, Millie was a patient girl, even if he finished the sculpture a few days late, she wouldn’t blame him, she would just advise him not to overwork, saying it was alright to delay for a few more days.

Naming a not-yet-finished statue and creating a structured persona for it was something only the Brass Dragon would do in its boredom.

“Blue Dragon?” Leon said, “Has Tassera returned?

If she’s back, why can’t I find her anywhere?”

The Brass Dragon looked at Leon with a tilted head, saying: “Tassera, is that all you can think about?

You don’t think the desert has only one Blue Dragon…

In this desert alone there are at least a dozen, if not dozens of Blue Dragons, no more no less.”

“Speak properly,” Leon lifted his claw, “otherwise don’t blame me for being rude.

I’m warning you now, I’ve learned a few new moves and got a new weapon.”

Leon’s intention was to appear mighty; he then stood up, stretched out his hand and conjured the Catastrophe Blade out of thin air, swinging it at the rocks scattered around the canyon, cleanly slicing a rock into two.

Holding up his other hand, he launched a Hand Palm Bomb, saying, “Do you think I can easily subdue you now?”

“Lightning, you a Red Dragon awakened with Lightning Magic?” the Brass Dragon was startled, then turned to look at the sword in Leon’s hands, “Where did you get that sword just now…

refined gold weapons, actually refined gold weapons.”

“Scared, huh.” Leon was smug.

“Not scared,” the Brass Dragon, knowing the Red Dragon in front of it was different from normal ones, melodramatically whined, “You might as well kill me…

You said you guys from Crossroads City would go and come back soon, I thought you’d return in ten days or half a month, but more than a month passed and you still didn’t come back…

I had to handle everything by myself, and I could only take a twenty percent share.”

The Brass Dragon didn’t know that Leon had actually returned earlier but then left again, and had spent nearly a month in Black Desert forging the sword.

Feeling embarrassed, Leon changed the subject, “What were you saying about the Blue Dragon just now?”

“Blue Dragon, during the time you were away, I often spotted Blue Dragons constantly circling above our territory,” said the Brass Dragon, “Not Tassera, but other Blue Dragons.”

Hearing this, Leon immediately became vigilant, asking, “What is he here for?”

“What else could be done?” On one side, the Metal Dragon, on the other, the Colorful Dragon—both competitors occupying the same ecological niche.

Brass Dragon always assumed the worst about Blue Dragon and decisively said, “He must be eyeing our business of selling passes, wanting a share of it.”

“Doesn’t he know that it’s our business?” Leon asked, “A business that involves three dragons.”

“Of course he knows.

Blue Dragon does everything by the book,” said Brass Dragon.

“Isn’t this him coming over in advance to scout the place?

No, he has already scouted it and now he’s here to test the waters.”

“A young dragon surely wouldn’t be so bold…” Leon analyzed logically, “Is it an adult Blue Dragon?”

“Yes, it’s an adult Blue Dragon—Rocas of the Dayshadow,” Brass Dragon described.

“Not sure how far it is from here to the north, but it requires about an hour or two of flying.

There’s a Crystal Mountain, with large areas of crystal rocks gleaming under the sunlight, some located in underground caves and some in rock layers…

He lives there.”

“How long has he been an adult?” asked Leon.

“Probably just came of age,” Brass Dragon nodded proudly, “Not as old as me.”

Dragons do not weaken with age; they generally tend to get stronger as they get older, so the older Brass Dragon naturally looked down on the newly adult Blue Dragon.

As for the fact that Blue Dragon ranked second among the Colorful Dragons, being naturally stronger than a Brass Dragon who has been an adult for a while was another issue.

“Why are you asking this?” Brass Dragon suddenly said, “You can’t be thinking about causing trouble for Rocas.”

“You must be joking…” Leon glanced at Brass Dragon, thinking to himself that an adult Blue Dragon was not just any adult Brass Dragon or a creature like a Magma Land Shark that could be trifled with.

Adult Blue Dragons were wise, would not give you a chance to kite them, could fly and dig burrows, possessing Legendary Resistance and Frightening Majesty, not to mention their powerful physical form and Breath Weapon, and they might even know Spells.

“I knew you wouldn’t dare…” said Brass Dragon, “Even if it were a Red Dragon, how could a young Red Dragon defeat an adult Blue Dragon?

You don’t have the capability.”

“I’m not just any young Red Dragon,” Leon reminded proudly.

“Even if you’re not just any young Red Dragon, the age gap between you two is too large, almost eighty years.” Brass Dragon was a cowardly type, as an adult Brass Dragon, even afraid of the young dragon Tassera, with nothing fierce about him but his mouth.

“Well, he’s just circling in the sky right now, hasn’t made a move… Why not wait for Tassera to come back?

With me, you, Blue Dragon, and Efreeti, even an adult Blue Dragon could be beaten to the ground,” Brass Dragon paused, “So when is Tassera coming back?”

“I don’t know either,” Leon answered.

“I came back earlier.”

“You went together, and you didn’t come back together?” Brass Dragon complained.

“Why did you suddenly come back?”

“It’s just that she has her business to handle, and I have mine,” Leon didn’t know where to start.

“Speaking of which, I’ve never been to Crossroads City… I’ve always wanted to go, but never did,” Brass Dragon suddenly got excited, eager to try, “Quickly tell me, what’s there in Crossroads City?”

“Why not go?” Leon said.

“If you’re so curious, why not go see for yourself?”

“I don’t go to such chaotic places,” Brass Dragon slowly shook his head, “I’m a good dragon.

I can’t stand seeing evil happen around me; I would end up having to intervene, and then this and that.”

“Evil is there, but without action,” Leon mocked, “Does it mean nothing happens as long as you don’t see it?”

“Can’t beat them, why suffer for nothing?

I’m not a fool,” Brass Dragon matter-of-factly said, “If one day I can flatten Crossroads City with one stomp, then I’ll go enforce justice.”

“If one day you can defeat me, would you also act to punish the evil and promote the good?” Leon curiously asked.

“You’re not that bad, so I don’t know…” Brass Dragon’s ears twitched, “I just wanted to ask you what’s in Crossroads City, why so many questions from you.”

Leon smiled and told him about what he had seen and heard in Crossroads City.

“Vampires?

I have not seen one before,” Brass Dragon said.

“I’ve also encountered Behir before; I don’t like Behir.

Same as Rocs, there was a Roc that used to harass me… You actually brought back a juvenile Magma Land Shark, you’re really something.”

“Do you want to see the juvenile Magma Land Shark?” Leon said.

“At first glance, it’s quite ugly, but after a while, it looks awkwardly cute.”

“Not free today,” Brass Dragon glanced at an incomplete statue, “I’ll come by another day.”

Leon spent several hours chatting with Brass Dragon and then left.

It was the third day, while Leon was enjoying roasted camel, far away he saw a Blue Dragon circling in the sky.

That Blue Dragon must be the adult Blue Dragon Dayshadow’s Rocas that Brass Dragon mentioned.
