Chapter 85: Performing Magic Tricks
He was only bewildered for a moment before Leon quickly remembered what he had to do now.
To be rich and not return home is like walking at night in fine clothes; it is understood as flourishing but not going back to show off, like wearing beautifully ornate clothes out at night, utterly absurd and wasteful.
Having left Dragon Nest just after hatching, and being driven away by Mother Dragon before reaching a full year, a dozen years had flown by; Leon still remembered Mother Dragon, owing her a million Gold Coins—of course, that was an impossibility to repay. He also remembered Dragon Sister; it was pretty fun to tease her when there was nothing else to do, but he really couldn’t remember the way back.
Even if he did remember the way back, Leon had no desire to go back. He acknowledged the life debt, for Mother Dragon gave birth to him and provided some nurture, and there was a bit of familial affection with Dragon Sister, but that was that.
Between Tassera and Brass Dragon, Leon made his choice without any hesitation, choosing the coquettish and enchanting beauty over the talkative man; any normal man would know what to choose, especially now as he was right in Oasis City.
Turn left at Crossroads, pass through an alley, and after another two hundred meters, Leon quickly found Tassera’s tent, barged in, and spotted Blue Dragon performing a divination for a customer, swindling quite a bit of money with her smooth talk. Once the customer left, he immediately sat down at the counter.
"Why do you have time to come over today?"
Tassera waved her hand and closed the tent’s curtain to prevent any following customers from entering.
Red Dragons are accustomed to solitude, but Humans are social animals; Leon stands between the two. Unless there is something, he does not like to actively visit others, but if someone else takes the initiative to invite him, he won’t refuse... Under normal circumstances, it is always Tassera who seeks out Leon.
"Nothing special, just wanted to perform a magic trick for you," Leon replied.
"Oh, what magic trick?" Tassera responded lazily, elbow on the counter, palm supporting her face.
