Chapter 128 Volcano
Leon had met Dwarves in Crossroads City, whether common Dwarves or Gray Dwarves; they were generally a head shorter than humans, or even more, but they were exceptionally sturdy, and their weights might exceed those of humans who were much taller than them.
Leon wasn’t interested in Dwarves, but he was quite curious about Iron Hammer Castle, as he had never seen a Dwarf Fortress before and had heard that its architectural style was completely different from human buildings.
Leon wanted to go to Iron Hammer Castle.
He was not afraid of the Dwarf Lord, who was said to be able to defeat a Red Dragon alone. After all, he had no intention of provoking the Dwarf Lord by appearing in Dragon Form above Iron Hammer Castle. He just wanted to visit the fortress in human form. If he did get discovered by accident, couldn’t he just run away if he couldn’t fight it out?
Of course, Cecilia had her own thoughts. You’re a Red Dragon, and even as a teenage dragon, your size is nearing a super-large creature, while also possessing an endless array of divine Spells. I’m just an ordinary Green Dragon, I don’t have the guts to act recklessly under the watchful eyes of a powerful Dwarf territory.
She knew that Leon never looked out for females, sometimes he insisted on gender equality to a frightening degree. Uninformed people might think he had been terribly hurt by a woman before, and if he didn’t die in silence, he would erupt in silence, and she quickly spilled more intel about Iron Hammer Castle.
Iron Hammer Castle was a city of Dwarves; apart from a few humans, mainly familiar merchants, others were not welcome for visits because the stubborn-minded Dwarves thought that humans would bring chaos. Unless one had an introduction from someone familiar, one should not think about entering casually.
"Is that so? Don’t lie to me."
Leon was only mildly interested in Iron Hammer Castle, it wasn’t something he must visit. It was inconvenient to visit, so he would no longer consider it, especially since the Lost Plateau was vast, with plenty of other places to explore.
The mountain goats were too small and could only be used as food, not for riding. Camel replaced by giant goat, the two set off on a giant goat from the town, venturing deeper into the Lost Plateau without a specific destination in mind, going wherever the road took them, and when they could no longer proceed, they could simply revert to Dragon Form.
"I thought there would be lots of trees here; I didn’t expect it to be so barren, not even a blade of grass." As a Green Dragon, Cecilia was most concerned about greening, "Without trees, how do these Dwarves survive? Without wood, how do they fuel their stoves? Do they rely solely on Molten Lava?"
