Chapter: 161 Wings of Ash
At noon, the sunlight was dazzling.
Under the bright sunlight, Brian flew towards the location of the Carol Mountains, which he had learned from Thorn Grand Duke.
After their transaction was completed, Thorn Grand Duke immediately gathered his men that night to prepare gold coins, gems, and spell books for Brian. He straightforwardly handed over one-third of the gold coins and gems as a deposit, as well as the gold coins for the next year's offerings.
The spell books needed some time to be copied and printed.
At this point, if Brian took the payment and left without bothering the red dragon, and ignored the Mocha Principality in the future, Thorn Grand Duke would be helpless against him.
They hadn't signed a contract.
Thorn Grand Duke wanted to sign a contract, but Brian refused. He didn't want to be bound by a contract, so the transaction was merely a verbal promise.
The red dragon's Dragon's Lair had a lot of wealth, and Brian thought he could make some extra money.
After all, it had been three years since he last came to the south. Taking the stone gate and returning directly to the extreme north Ice Field seemed like a waste of the effort spent on this trip.
The airflow passed over the Dragon Wings' membranes, creating a loud, flapping sound. Brian looked down, and rivers, mountains, and towns gradually appeared in his view. Finally, after half an hour, a dark brown mountain and a barren, withered forest reflected in Brian's eyes.
The Carol Mountains, a dead volcano about eight hundred feet high.
The red dragon mentioned by Thorn Grand Duke lived around this dead volcano.
Red dragons are fire-attribute True Dragons and love such high-temperature, scorching environments.
When a red dragon reaches the ancient dragon level, wherever it lives becomes a Flame Mountain Range. Around the Dragon's Lair, interdimensional vortices connecting to the fire elemental plane can even form, allowing fire elemental beings to enter the Prime Material Plane.
"This is the place."
Brian looked down at the dead volcano of Carol, his eyes flashing with a stream of light.
He activated his detect magic, but he could only see a large area of red fire elemental magic, unable to precisely locate the red dragon.
Dragon scales have strong anti-magic properties, greatly concealing elemental magic. This spell has difficulty detecting the whereabouts of a True Dragon.
However, although Brian hadn't seen the red dragon yet, just looking at the unique environment of this area, combined with the faint aura in the air that belonged to a True Dragon, he could confirm that a fire-attribute True Dragon lived here.
After a brief thought, Brian flapped his Dragon Wings, and a tide-like Dragon's Might emanated from him, sweeping towards the dead volcano in his sight.
Whoosh!
Now his Dragon's Might was so powerful that it appeared as a ring-shaped ripple in the air.
All the creatures inhabiting the dead volcano stiffened and shivered when touched by the Dragon's Might. Some powerful creatures that could resist the Dragon's Might raised their heads with difficulty, looking fearfully and warily at the silver dragon in the sky, whose body blocked the sunlight.
After releasing his Dragon's Might, Brian quietly waited for a few seconds.
He couldn't precisely locate the red dragon's Dragon's Lair, so he directly used Dragon's Might to announce his presence, letting the other party know there was an uninvited guest, and forcing it to show itself.
However, to Brian's surprise, he waited for ten seconds. The other party should have felt the Dragon's Might and come out to check the situation.
But there was still no sign of the red dragon in his view.
