Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

The dragon's gaze is still very oppressive.

Baron Todd looked up, his scarlet pupils full of fear, and his expression was no longer as aggressive as before.

But he still tried his best to remain reserved, holding his hands behind his back and trying not to tremble too much in his tone:

"You are the 'Flying Flame', right?"

"Excuse me, do you have any important business for visiting my territory?"

Cassius was keenly aware of the fluctuations of the magic network, and knew that the baron was building a spell model, and his expression darkened slightly:

"Baron Todd, is this how you treat guests from afar?"

"With disrespectful spells."

"Instead of the etiquette and hospitality of aristocrats."

When Baron Todd saw that he was seen through, his expression suddenly changed.

But he still hurriedly took out the bottles and jars in his clothes, took out a few bat hairs that he had prepared, and quickly cast the spell.

"Dark magic!"

As the bat's hair turned into fly ash, a thick black mist spread rapidly with Baron Todd as the center. The dark magical power enveloped the entire spherical area with a radius of five meters, enveloping him entirely.

Even creatures with dark vision cannot see through this darkness, and non-magical light cannot illuminate it, not even low-level spell lighting below the second level.

Cassius just watched all this silently and praised unhurriedly:

"A very good spell, Lord Baron."

"If they were ordinary humans, they would have been so frightened by you that they would not dare to move. They could only let you quietly drain their blood in the fear of darkness."

His tone suddenly turned cold.

"But do you still remember that you are facing a giant dragon?"

Cassius turned suddenly, and his thick and long tail swept over with great force.

The black fog balls were suddenly lifted up and rolled over. They could block light, but they could not block physical attacks.

Baron Todd, who was preparing the next spell in the darkness, was also hit suddenly.

"boom!"

He flew directly away several meters away.

Fortunately, Baron Todd has some kind of regenerative properties. Although this blow broke all the bones and flesh in his body, they are rapidly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Baron Todd lay on the ground vomiting blood and struggled to find the viper's shriveled stomach.

"Ma Youfu's acid arrow!"

A flashing green arrow flew quickly toward the red dragon.

"Shield."

The red dragon sneered, and an invisible shield appeared in front of him, blocking the speeding arrows. The acid arrows suddenly exploded into acid mist, but it still did not hurt Cassius at all.

"Spellcaster?"

Baron Todd looks horrified, a dragon mage, it doesn't get much worse than this.

Thinking of this, he began to build a spell model.

"Mistake Step!"

There was only a cloud of silver-white smoke left where the Baron had been, and he had dragged his scarred body onto the wall of the manor dozens of meters away, with twisted and hanging vines on it.

Cassius waved his wings and followed him, and said calmly: "My lord, Baron, please stop struggling unnecessarily."

"These little tricks of yours"

"Not worth mentioning at all."

Fire ignited in the red dragon's pupils.

When Baron Todd saw the red dragon chasing after him, he quickly used his exhausted mind to build a spell model again.

He suddenly pulled down a vine, and the other end of the vine rose rapidly upward until the entire vine was vertical to the ground, hanging in the air out of thin air.

At the last moment when the red dragon was about to catch him.

Todd climbed up the vine and disappeared, and the vine disappeared with it.

"Magic rope magic?"

Cassius said to himself with great interest.

This spell is a famous mage-specific escape spell. You can use an item with the "rope" attribute to go to a small extra-dimensional space that exists for the duration of the spell.

Attacks and spells cannot enter or exit through the entrance to the extradimensional space, but creatures in the space can see the outside scene through the entrance, just like there is a window at the position of the rope.

But as long as the spell ends, everything in the extra-dimensional space will fall out.

At this time, Baron Todd was in a different dimension, and his pale face looked extremely nervous, for fear that the red dragon would notice something was wrong.

If he hadn't needed to breathe, he might have been breathing heavily by now.

But Cassius just said as if talking to himself:

"A very interesting spell."

"It's just that I told you a long time ago

"Your tricks are nothing to me!"

As his words fell, a shimmering barrier quickly emerged with the red dragon as the center, covering the entire area.

"Spell invalidation barrier!"

The extradimensional space suddenly shattered like a broken glass cup, causing Baron Todd who was hiding in it to appear out of thin air, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Facing the red dragon's open bloody mouth, Baron Todd finally couldn't help but slumped to the ground, knelt down and begged for mercy:

"No, no, don't kill me!"

"I am the son of Duke Brad, the Baron of the North Wind Eagle Luckman family."

"If you spare my life, my family can give you a lot of gold, far more than what you can get by killing me!"

"Lord Dragon, I, I am willing to surrender to you..."

As a mage, Todd is naturally knowledgeable and understands the greedy nature of red dragons.

The red dragon looked down at him, his eyes narrowed slightly: "I only need you to agree to three conditions for cooperation."

"I promise, I promise everything!"

Before he finished speaking, Baron Todd couldn't wait to agree, for fear that the moody and cruel red dragon would turn him into ashes.

Although the red dragon in front of him looks relatively sane.

But who can tell?

Cassius nodded slightly and said:

"First, I need all your spell scrolls, remember, all of them, to pay for your invasion of the Ember Nest territory. This is the prerequisite for our cooperation."

"Second, I welcome trade and can even provide you with gold, but I need to exchange all goods with you, including weapons and armor. Hart will be the leader of this 'friendly trade' caravan."

"Third, I will send some family members to protect the caravan, and by the way, I will also station in Sige Town to protect the safety of you, my collaborator."

"Aren't you afraid that I will betray your cooperation?"

Baron Todd asked tentatively.

At least for now, it seems that the conditions of the red dragon are relatively loose, and he needs to take the opportunity to gain the trust of the red dragon.

Cassius sneered and said, "Lord Baron, I have already said that we are here to cooperate. This is a win-win process."

"Think about it, without trade with our Ember Nest, without gold, without powerful troops, you and your barony are nothing, just a food-producing area that can be abandoned at any time. An invasion from the north. Enough to destroy you."

"I think...you know what I mean."

The red dragon's pupils flickered, as if burning with blazing fire.
