Under the Red Dragon

“Adventurer Mage Razi, I am deeply impressed with you,” Kalon gestured for the mage and his adventurer companions to relax. He crouched down, and magical light flowed from his thick dragon claws. A pile of treasures shimmering with crystal-clear light appeared before the mage.

“I saw your performance last night, and you made a great contribution to defending the dragon's territory. You deserve my reward,” Kalon's scarlet vertical pupils were filled with praise for the mage.

“You can choose any one of these treasures as my reward to you,” the dragon looked down at the mage before him, his expression equally aloof.

For Kalon, Mage Razi's performance was certainly worthy of his reward, but in reality, Mage Razi was the same as most adventurers, only protecting his own life and property.

However, Kalon's actions were more to demonstrate his attitude, the attitude of the ruler of this territory, equivalent to spending a fortune to recruit talent.

Dragons will definitely reward those who have made contributions, and dragons are never stingy, but very generous.

Moreover, Kalon intended to recruit these humans with specialized skills, but he would not say it explicitly. He was a dragon lord and could not be too proactive.

After he expressed his attitude, if anyone had such thoughts, they would definitely take the initiative to contact the dragon's followers. This would not only maintain the dragon's posture, but also prevent those humans who approached him from demanding too much.

But Mage Razi, his adventurer companions, and the surrounding adventurers who heard the dragon's words were stunned. However, it was not because of the dragon's aloof posture, but because of the dragon's decision.

You must know that dragons are extremely stingy and greedy, especially when it comes to wealth.

Even the good dragons belonging to the metallic dragons are the same. Although the metallic dragons are friendly, they will not give you even a copper coin.

If you dare to encroach on its wealth, it will let you know what dragon power and double standards are. You will be directly cast into the evil camp, just like the bronze dragon who loves to eat sahua fishmen and does not recognize fishmen as intelligent races.

The five-colored evil dragons are even more blatant. They are not only stingy and greedy, but also like to exploit and blackmail others' wealth.

Even for their followers, many evil five-colored dragons only treat these followers as objects of exploitation, collecting treasures as much as possible, and it is even more impossible to reward others with their wealth.

Especially red dragons, their love of being bandits and extortionists is well-known in almost all planes. A large part of the reason why many red dragons like to plunder princesses from human kingdoms is not because of greed for beauty, but to extort those tempting gold coins.

Of course, some red dragons are particularly fond of the taste of human and elf girls, and they regard human and elf girls as delicacies.

But the red dragon in front of him would actually reward others with his treasure. Mage Razi felt as if he had seen a mortal defeat a god. His eyes widened. This scene was like a fairy tale, unbelievable.

Mage Razi was very afraid that the red dragon in front of him was testing him. As long as he reached out, that terrifying mouth would open and devour him. So he prepared to politely refuse the red dragon's reward. Wealth was important, but life was more precious to a mage.

But when Mage Razi's eyes swept over the treasures in front of him, he felt that he should try bravely.

Among the treasures were red gemstones that shimmered like agate, silver-gray ore the size of a baby's fist, treasures that looked like they were wrapped in a layer of flame like refined iron, and crystalline particles that emitted various crystal-clear lights.

The appearance of these treasures immediately caused the crowd on the street to exclaim, and the adventurers and residents couldn't help but surround them.

“Oh my god, that's mithril ore! Its value is at least ten times that of an equal amount of gold. It is an extremely precious treasure, and it has super magical ductility. It is an indispensable material for creating many powerful magic weapons,”

“And it is as strong as dragon scales and as light as feathers,” an experienced adventurer exclaimed.

“And there is adamantine. This adamantine is heavy and strong, and has strong anti-magic properties. It is one of the best materials for making anti-magic equipment. This is a popular item in auction houses. Those powerful warriors like to mix this strange metal into their armor.”

Of course, Mage Razi knew the value of these treasures. He had the dual identities of adventurer and mage, and his knowledge and experience exceeded those of these experienced adventurers.

He was just hesitating. He couldn't bear to part with any of the treasures in front of him. Mithril ore could not only be used to create magic weapons, but also was a necessary material for every mage to build his own mage tower. The magic circle engraved on the mage tower required a lot of mithril.

But those pure magic crystals and magic gems that shone with various magical lights also made his heart flutter. These magic crystals and magic gems were also high-level materials.

It can also help mages accumulate magic power faster, and can also create secret treasure props to help mages recover magic power.

Mage Razi painfully closed his eyes. He wished that all the treasures in front of him were his.

Finally, Mage Razi made a choice. He pointed to the mithril ore shimmering with silver-gray luster, panting, and said, “I choose this mithril ore, Lord Dragon.”

Kalon nodded, and used his dragon claws to pluck the baby fist-sized mithril ore from the pile of treasures and threw it to the mage. “Very good, this mithril ore now belongs to you.”

Mage Razi accepted the mithril ore with a beaming smile, but the surrounding adventurers began to stir. They were not afraid of scarcity but of inequality. What's more, the dragon's attitude made them no longer too afraid.

“Damn it, this mage is so lucky to be rewarded with such a valuable treasure,”

“I also contributed last night. I think I should explain it to the dragon. Although I don’t expect to get the same valuable treasure as the mage, I should also be rewarded.”

“Yes, we also defended the dragon’s territory last night and should be rewarded by the dragon.”

The crowd was noisy, gradually surrounding the dragon and the dragon's followers.

The scarlet pupils of the dragonborn werewolf Saha lit up, and the retracted claws popped out, leading his dragonborn to stand between the dragon and the crowd. In the heart of the dragonborn werewolf, no one was allowed to overstep the red dragon in the slightest.

Kleinaiya also felt the tension in the atmosphere. Although these humans were of average strength and could not pose a threat to the dragon, she still bared her fangs and made a muffled warning sound, not allowing the crowd to get too close.

Kalon's huge body did not waver. He just stared at these humans with his cold vertical pupils. His will could not be swayed.

Although he had such an idea, every warrior who participated in the counterattack against the fishmen last night could get a considerable reward, but he has now changed his mind. He will only establish typical examples, and only the most outstanding warriors can get his reward.

Under Kalon's gaze, these humans who surrounded him felt the pressure from the dragon, and they gradually closed their mouths and began to walk away.

At this time, the short and stout dwarf warrior Kragon squeezed out of the crowd. He looked at the fire-covered refined iron with fiery eyes. It was Fiery Adamantine.

This adamantine is one of the best materials in the world for forging weapons. Weapons made of this material can ignite the power of flames, and it is also the favorite treasure of the dwarf race.

They are keen to use this material to forge their war hammers, which can not only become a craftsman's hammer for forging weapons, but also a heavy hammer for forging the enemy's body.

The dwarf warrior Kragon's voice was thick, and he eagerly asked the dragon, "Respected dragon, what conditions are needed to exchange for this adamantine?"

The red dragon's huge head shook slightly and said: "Dragons are not short of wealth. Only those who have made outstanding contributions to the dragon's territory can get my reward, or be loyal to the dragon and bring help to the dragon."

The dwarf Kragon's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "I am willing to be loyal to the great dragon, and I hope the dragon can reward me with that piece of Fiery Adamantine."

“Dragons do not accept useless people, dwarf, tell me your skills and let me see if you are qualified to be loyal to the dragon.” The red dragon's low voice echoed in the dwarf's ears.

Although Kalon's attitude towards Mage Razi today was to attract others to serve the dragon, he did not expect that a dwarf would automatically come to his door as a typical example so quickly, but he still maintained a relatively high profile.

“Haha, everyone in the world knows that every dwarf is an excellent blacksmith. I can forge sharp weapons and strong armor for the dragon's followers, as long as there is enough wine.” Dwarf Kragon said in a muffled voice.

“Very good, I look forward to your performance,” the red dragon was very satisfied, and the territory now lacks this kind of technical talent. So he used his dragon claws to pluck the Fiery Adamantine and threw it to the dwarf warrior, and asked: "What is your name, dwarf warrior, now the dragon's craftsman?"

“Kragon, Kragon Mim, this is my name, Lord Dragon.” Although the dwarf warrior Kragon looked very rough, he bowed politely and replied.

“Then, Kragon Mim, I hope you can get more treasures from me.” The red dragon stood up. He felt that today's performance attitude was enough.

So the red dragon opened his wide and powerful scaled wings, jumped up, and drove the flowing wind directly to the high sky, heading towards his dragon's nest.

The little dragon Kleinaiya also took off and followed Kalon closely.

Whoosh,

The rapid gale blew away the beard on the dwarf warrior Kragon's chin and the braids on his head, but he didn't care.

The dwarf warrior was now holding the adamantine tightly in his hand, roaring at the dragon in the sky: "Ha, wait, Lord Dragon, Kragon is a greedy enough dwarf warrior!"
