Chapter 209 - 208 Gray Dwarf City
The Cloud Giant thought Leon was of a Chaotic Neutral alignment, which was quite peculiar for a Red Dragon. However, Leon insisted he was quite Lawful, always keeping his promises and never making empty promises or going back on his word.
Since they had found the Gray Dwarf city, Leon kept his word and released the Drow, though out of the four members of the patrol, only one had survived.
"Such a massive Gray Dwarf city..." Leon didn’t hurry forward. "Do you have confidence?"
Cecilia clutched the hem of her dress with both hands, remaining silent.
Originally, her plan had been to locate a small Gray Dwarf settlement, perhaps one with dozens or up to a hundred Gray Dwarves, with only 20 or 30 Gray Dwarf warriors at most. Such a task would’ve been easy to handle. But now, confronted with a colossal Gray Dwarf city, she doubted she had the courage. One would need at least an adult Red Dragon to contend with such a place.
"With my master supporting me, I’m not afraid," Cecilia finally spoke.
"You should handle your affairs yourself. Self-reliance brings abundance," Leon said confidently. He was sure he could take down the Gray Dwarf city, but he had no interest in doing so. After all, his base was in Watchtower Port, and even if he seized this Gray Dwarf city, he wouldn’t rule it.
Ruling? Absolutely not. But such a vast Gray Dwarf city must have plenty of refined gold and mithril—perhaps it was worth a quick raid. These Gray Dwarves, evil and cruel enslavers, wouldn’t weigh on his conscience if he plundered them. As these thoughts spun in his mind, Leon began to feel a little tempted.
Cecilia, hearing Leon’s words but oblivious to his train of thought, pouted and muttered to herself. "If Tassera had something to ask of him, someone would definitely rush to agree," she thought. Then, as if by reflex, she glanced down at her shoes and said softly, "Fine, I’ll handle it myself... Just a bunch of Gray Dwarves. I have my own ways."
"What ways?" Leon asked.
"Master is so clever, surely you can guess." Cecilia tilted her head playfully. "Let’s go in."
