Chapter 172 - 171: Rapid Progress
It’s not yet time to conquer Watchtower Port, but it doesn’t stop Leon from laying the groundwork in advance.
These days, he often brazenly flies in his Red Dragon form over the skies of Watchtower Port, completely disregarding the fear of its residents.
"You circling around Watchtower Port from time to time frightens everyone." As a lawful-good Bronze Dragon, Fiora felt somewhat uneasy and once proactively approached Leon to caution him, "I actually saw you roar suddenly and scare an old man to death."
If not for the fact that he still had use for the Bronze Dragon, Leon really wanted to slap her face and responded, "I haven’t attacked Watchtower Port, killed everyone, or robbed them of their possessions—this is already quite merciful. Now I’m just flying around in the sky, and you’re telling me I can’t even do that... Have I been too agreeable and given you the wrong impression?"
"No, no, it’s just..." As soon as Leon got aggressive, Fiora immediately shrank back a bit, but a righteous knight never retreats, "You can fly, but could you stop the sudden roaring and yelling?"
"I’ll fly however I want, roar however I want, and do whatever I want." Leon was genuinely annoyed, thinking he had already been very gentle, yet the Bronze Dragon still wasn’t satisfied, "They need to adapt to me; there’s no reason for me to accommodate them."
"If a human told me this, I wouldn’t be so irritated." Leon fixed his gaze on the Bronze Dragon, his anger simmering, "Are you a dragon or a human? Whose side are you on? Are you out of your mind? I understand your kindness, but forbidding a dragon like me from engaging in normal activities—don’t you think that’s excessive?"
Leon’s words made Fiora realize the issue, and she was left speechless and embarrassed.
It seemed there was still hope for her—not entirely beyond redemption. Seeing the somewhat sheepish Bronze Dragon, Leon’s anger dwindled slightly, and he said, "Humans are highly adaptable creatures. They might be unsettled now, but in a few days, they’ll become accustomed."
