Chapter 152 - 151 Migration Preparation
The greatest challenge dragons might face in flying is the takeoff. Given the chance, dragons prefer to take off from heights, gaining speed by descending. Otherwise, they have to spread their wings and jump fiercely into the air to propel themselves.
The speed of a dragon’s flight is quite fast. Each wingbeat generates an astonishing amount of lift and thrust. Under the right conditions, such as finding rising air currents, they can soar effortlessly for hours, quickly covering vast distances.
Even so, even by flying, the journey from Watchtower Port through the Lost Plateau to Molten Lava Lake, located in the Red Crown Desert, spans several hundred to thousands of kilometers. It took Leon one whole day, and he didn’t want to experience it again anytime soon.
Finally back at Molten Lava Lake, Leon didn’t seek out anyone. The first thing he did was dive into Dome Castle to get a good sleep.
As he’s getting older, he’s finding himself more inclined to sleep. Back when he was a baby dragon, he could cause trouble all day long, but now, unless there’s something that really needs doing, he must sleep at noon, at least ten hours a day.
Leon slept nearly twenty hours until the next day, only to find that Cecilia had appeared in Dome Castle at some point, thoughtfully preparing food for him. Roast camels, roast mutton seasoned with salt and spices greeted his nose.
"When did master return?" asked Cecilia.
For the present Leon, a large camel was just a half-chicken in the hands of a normal person. Leon grabbed the roasted camel, devoured a leg, and replied, "Yesterday."
"Did you awaken the volcano?" Cecilia inquired, her desire to leave the desert clear as day. Despite unexpectedly not minding the heat, she still preferred forests and water, and Watchtower Port, with its lush forests and the sea, was ideal for her.
"Yes, we awakened the volcano. I’ve come back this time to take you guys with me," Leon said. "Prepare the cart, take all we can carry. We must walk to Watchtower Port."
Leon had considered his Sleeve of the Universe, which could store living things, but with various limitations. It could hold a basketful of ordinary people, but not many powerful creatures like Salamanders or Magma Land Sharks.
