Tale of the Red Dragon Without Dragon's Might-Chapter 30 - Lying Down

“This is a copper coin Martin found, I want to offer it to the master.”

“Just keep the copper coin for yourself.”

“Master’s lair seems a bit small, let us help expand it.”

“You guys are really a bit annoying.”

The Kobolds were always in a pleasing manner, constantly clamoring about enlarging his lair, insisting that a Red Dragon’s lair must be grand, and offering any good finds to him…

Leon truly struggled to restrain himself from killing them on the spot.

“This can’t go on.”

“Simply teach them a lesson, the orders of a Red Dragon cannot be defied.”

“Such loyal fawners might be useful later on.”

“Otherwise, why would I, a Red Dragon, need to avoid them?

Just ordinary Kobolds…

wait, maybe it’s not so bad.”

Dragons without parental care usually relocate once during their Young Dragon stage.

The reason is simple, after hunting in one region for a few years, the location of their original lair may become known to outsiders, or the area around the lair might become depleted of prey.

Leon thought about it; the prey at his current residence had noticeably decreased, and although it was currently enough for him to eat and drink, it clearly wouldn’t last long, maybe just a few more months or half a year.

Since he’d have to move soon anyway, why not move a few days earlier.

Saying and doing were the same for Leon; taking his possessions, he flew off without mercy right in front of the Kobolds’ faces.

Compared to before, after transitioning from a baby dragon to a Young Dragon and just receiving new equipment, Leon, whose strength had greatly increased, could choose from more places to settle.

He already had an order from an Annis Hag regarding nest building actions.

Ogres, Trolls, or even Hill Giants unless it was a Hill Giant’s family, were not enough to stop him, and stronger creatures were hard to find unless specifically sought after.

Creatures usually only roam within their own territory, going back and forth on their small piece of land, only adventurers need to worry, as they like to wander around forming groups of four or five members, with close combatants, long-range fighters, physical and Magical attacks, and healing, no simple feat to handle without proper skills.

In summary, having the experience of searching for a settlement before, Leon quickly found a suitable new location this time.

Heading in the direction away from Dragon Queen’s territory, he found a lush forest.

As always, the first thing Leon did upon finding a new settlement was to dig

Then, for the first time building a nest, Leon could enthusiastically work all day without tiring.

Having experience, Leon’s efficiency in digging and building a nest his second time was much improved, and many deficiencies of the lair were effectively ameliorated.

By the time it came for the third build, Leon wasn’t as enthusiastic, likening it to a game where the first exploratory completion was great, the second run through with experience was still fun steamrolling, but chances are no one sticks around for a third.

Thus, this time Leon was somewhat lackluster in building the nest; taking it easy three days working and two days off, thinking that with his current strength, he didn’t need to be so careful, so he simply chose a cave halfway up a mountain, knocked around a bit, and took it as a lair.

Breathing in nature’s spiritual energy every moment had fully integrated with his normal breathing, and indulging in Sun and Moon Essence was only possible at the beginning and middle of each month.

The remaining time aside from foraging and sleeping, Leon just flipped through books looted from the Annis Hag, occasionally going out for a walk and basking in the Sun.

After living in the new place for half a month, Leon saw a Saber-toothed Tiger for the first time, and before it could approach, it turned and ran away as soon as it spotted him, disappearing over the mountain in a blink.

A giant boar was significantly larger than a normal wild boar, naturally making it more challenging to handle, but one giant boar was enough for Leon to eat for several days.

An Adult Dragon possesses a vast territory, massive wealth, and numerous servants, none of which were accumulated only after reaching adulthood.

Whenever the opportunity arises, what a baby dragon most often considers is the size of its territory.

Besides this, the only other concerns are establishing an independent status, acquiring valuable Magic Items or artwork to build their own treasure trove, and obtaining slaves that can bring food and treasures.

Leon is not a typical dragon; he has little interest in territory, servants, or even treasures, casually tossing aside the loot scavenged from the Annis Hag, mostly focused on a few books he obtained from her.

After getting a handy sword, he felt as if there was nothing left to pursue, simply eating until full, and sleeping after eating.

After such a period, Leon realized he seemed to have gained weight.

At first, Leon didn’t believe he got fatter, thinking he was just growing larger, which naturally made his stomach grow too.

But when his pouch sagged, he finally had to concede, as the facts spoke louder than words.

No, that’s not right, the pouch is for storing energy, because wild felines easily have a feast or famine existence, thus they need to store energy, often consuming large quantities of food in one go, which is stored in the pouch to stave off hunger.

A pouch and being fat are not the same.

Such a comfortable period alone wasn’t enough to turn him into a little fatty.

Thinking this, Leon put his mind at ease for the time being.

Now the question is, why would a dragon have an energy-storing pouch?

That’s unique to feline animals, right…

Yes, although dragons have scales and wings, their physical characteristics are more similar to feline animals than to large lizards, though he still felt that a dragon should store energy in its tail, like a fat tail.

It was just the growth of a pouch, not getting fat, but still, he should beware of obesity; Leon didn’t want to end up like a certain fat dragon named Xiboqia who couldn’t fly or move properly.

This can’t continue; he can’t just eat and then nap every day.

He had to go out daily, then switch to eating lean meats instead of organ meats and fats.

Leon made up his mind.
