Chapter 114: Clichés
Leon still cannot use Flame Breath, and the Samadhi True Fire, which can only be used as a trump card, is not suitable for use right now either. Therefore, he uses a lighter to start a fire. A nifty gadget made by Gnomes, it produces a tiny flame suitable for lighting candles, torches, or campfires.
Leon isn’t worried about Cecilia possibly tampering with his food. A mere young Green Dragon, specialized in poisoning, could not poison him to death; obtaining poison capable of killing a dragon is no simple matter. Moreover, he wouldn’t let her prepare the food since a Green Dragon’s specialty is indeed poison. One must show some respect.
While Leon busied himself with preparing the rabbit, Cecilia looked around observantly.
Leon turned his back to her without any reservation, showing no hint of suspicion towards her. Well, that’s normal since the identity she prepared is quite impressive. But it probably has more to do with her skin, being such a cute girl called "hero" and "brother," which man wouldn’t be bewildered?
A very ordinary wooden house paired with a vegetable garden; the house is well-built and the vegetables are planted nicely. It seems someone has quite the talent for building and gardening. Besides that, there was nothing special about it — no potential Magic Items, and at first glance, no Magic Traps either.
Lost in thought, Cecilia looked down at her leg, relieved that she had been ruthless in her act; otherwise, the scam would have failed if the wound had healed too soon. It looked like it had healed completely now, and the next test would be her acting skills.
"Why did brother come to live alone in the Primitive Forest?" Cecilia asked curiously.
"It’s to cultivate, to retreat into the deep forests and old mountains." Leon picked up a small knife and began gutting the rabbit.
"What kind of cultivation needs you to retreat into the deep forests and old mountains?" Cecilia questioned, "Are you a Druid, brother?"
She asked just for the sake of it, not really thinking that Leon was a Druid. The vegetables in the garden looked good, but that’s from a layperson’s perspective; for a Druid, they were far from excellent.
"Do I look like a Druid to you?" Leon responded, "Anyway, I love eating meat the most."
