158: Chapter 157: Useless Spell?
As a Dragon, Leon already had a penchant for sleep, and then last night he had several bouts with Tassera, “battles” if you will.
There’s never been a dragon who died of exhaustion, only cows.
So when he woke up today, he found the sky already bright, and it was downright afternoon.
Leon sat up from the bed and glanced at Tassera, who was still sound asleep by his side.
Rembering what happened last night, he couldn’t help but rub his forehead.
He had a girlfriend before crossing over to this world, he was no virgin, and he had long been disenchanted with certain things, especially after being baptized in the online gender wars, he had long discarded his machismo, insisted on gender equality, and abandoned the notion that n benefit and won suffer from intimate relationships.
Even so, with that and this happening last night, now looking at Tassera’s sleeping face again, he felt a subtle mood…
He had already acknowledged Tassera when he chose her as his partner for Dual Cultivation on the path of cultivation, and now they had taken a step closer.
Little matters are not worth fretting over.
After a mont of wild thoughts, Leon grinded his teeth, shook his head, and stopped worrying about Tassera, focusing instead on the familiar ding-dong sound he heard last night…
He really had no recollection, who could bla him, he was at a critical mont then, and wouldn’t care if the sky fell down.
Leon narrowed his eyes, lost in mories.
“I just covet your body—the first step towards becoming an Adult Dragon, performing an intimate act once.”
The appearance of this Golden Finger reward was not beyond Leon’s imagination; it was unexpected yet made sense.
Leon involuntarily thought of the Inner Core Dual Cultivation thod; he obtained that Golden Finger reward solely by defeating Tassera’s admirer, a Blue Dragon nad Rocas.
That is to say, he got two Golden Finger rewards directly or indirectly through Tassera.
Of course, Tassera is not the main point; she just happened to stand in that position, a pig on the wind.
It wouldn’t make a difference if it was Cecilia or even Fiora in her place…
It had to be a match that fit him, so goblins and Kobolds were definitely not viable.
“Expelling other potential suitors for one reward, and now another reward…” Leon mumbled to himself, suspecting that perhaps making Tassera lay a clutch of eggs for him in the future could net him another Golden Finger reward.
For the ti being, regardless of whether Tassera is willing, even with a Golden Finger reward, Leon didn’t want a clutch of eggs.
He wasn’t ready for children and he didn’t want to be irresponsible; so he decided not to start it at all, not to add unneeded trouble to his life…
Even if he doesn’t ascend to divinity and achieve immortality, the lifespan of a Red Dragon is a thousand years long, and he’s nowhere near a tenth of that yet, so there’s no rush.
At the sa ti, Leon believes that as long as he doesn’t slack off and lie down sowhere unmoved, he’ll get his due Golden Finger rewards, sooner or later.
He’ll worry about the future later and focuses his attention on the newly acquired Golden Finger reward.
“Common Reward: Clothing and Undressing Skill.”
Clothing and Undressing Skill?
Seeing such a Golden Finger reward, Leon was truly dumbfounded.
He knew about the Sword Control Technique, immobilization spell, Samadhi True Fire, Soul Summoning Mantra, Sleeve of the Universe…
He had never heard of the Clothing and Undressing Skill, whether it be in “Journey to the West,” “Investiture of the Gods,” or “Comprehensive History of Immortals,” nor in the gas, TV dramas, and movies that followed.
Although no exact spell na had been recited, similar scenes had indeed appeared in those gas, TV dramas, and movies, where a Divine being would stretch out a hand and instantly be dressed in armor, and with another gesture, switch to civilian clothes…
Thinking about this, Leon’s eyebrows sowhat relaxed.
Forget it, the origins of Golden Finger rewards are unknown anyway, no matter where the Clothing and Undressing Skill cos from, even if it is made up on the spot, as long as it’s useful, that’s fine.
Leon didn’t want to care too much, didn’t want to spoil his own fun.
In ancient military operations, one couldn’t always wear armor, because it’s heavy and exhausts a lot of stamina.
You only suit up when the battle is imminent, and for complex armor, you’d need a squire’s help…
So from this perspective, having a spell to help with dressing and undressing would be quite nice.
The current problem is that he wasn’t an ordinary person; he had the Vajra Body, he didn’t need any armor, no armor could be tougher than the scales on his body.
At the mont, Leon could only think of one scenario where the Clothing and Undressing Skill would be necessary: when he transford from Dragon Form to human form, he wouldn’t automatically wear clothes, and when he reverted to Dragon Form, the clothes would fall to the ground, sotis even bursting them.
With the Clothing and Undressing Skill, he wouldn’t have to worry about that anymore.
Damn it, this Clothing and Undressing Skill is only slightly better than the Water Walking Technique…
In fact, now that he’s moved to live by the sea, the Water Walking Technique might occasionally co in handy, perhaps even more so than the Clothing and Undressing Skill.
Another low-tier spell like the Water Walking Technique, Leon suddenly felt a surge of irritation, slamd his fist onto the table with a heavy “bang” sound, startling Tassera awake.
Tassera opened her eyes from sleep, sat up, and without minding the thin blanket sliding off her, exposing a body that could be called perfect, she asked, “What are you doing?”
“Nothing.” Having vented, Leon felt much better.
Tassera grabbed her slightly curled hair and asked, “Regret what happened last night?”
“You definitely know it isn’t.” Leon said, “It’s not about you, mostly my issue, just couldn’t get my head around it suddenly.”
“What’s there to not get your head around?” Tassera got out of bed, barefooted on the wooden floor, walked to Leon without a stitch on, and gently hugged him from the front, resting her chin on his shoulder and lightly patted his back, showing unusual tenderness, “Tell , maybe I can help.”
Leon didn’t really want to talk, but seeing Tassera’s concerned gaze, he softened and said, “Let go, and I’ll show you a performance.”
“Okay.” Tassera let go of Leon, glanced down, lightly bit her lip and picked up the clothes from last night that she had worn over and thrown onto the floor.
“Watch closely.
I’ve learned a new trick.” Leon said, as he activated the Clothing and Undressing Skill, and in a flash of light, a set of clothes appeared on him…
Naturally, the clothes didn’t appear out of nowhere; they were the ones he had taken off before going to bed last night.
“What spell is this?” Tassera’s eyes lit up.
As the Storage Dragon, she was imnsely interested in all kinds of magical spells.
“It’s just a spell for putting on and taking off clothes.” Leon said with disdain.
“So I still don’t get it, why would you be upset?” Tassera said, “Isn’t it good to have learned a new spell?”
“Do you think this spell is useful?” Leon asked.
“I don’t expect a very powerful spell, but it shouldn’t give such a useless one either.”
Leon didn’t know how to explain to Tassera that he had a Golden Finger, and that getting the Clothing and Undressing Skill ant he couldn’t acquire other spells, wasting a chance.
“Useless?” Tassera seed puzzled.
“I think this spell is rather useful.”
“How is it useful?” Leon challenged.
“Let think…” Tassera crossed her arms and pondered for a mont, “Do you know that dragons can actually wear equipnt too?”
“I know a bit.” Leon knew dragons could wear equipnt, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.
“Tear Claw, Invincible Dragon Armor, Spit Storm Neck Armor, Dragon’s Jaw…
there’s not a shortage of dragon equipnt, but very few dragons wear it.” Tassera teased, “Do you know why?”
“Because it’s too much trouble to wear?” Leon wasn’t a fool, he just hadn’t thought in that direction, but now that Tassera nudged him, he quickly realized many things, “I understand what you an now, with this Clothing and Undressing Skill, I can also equip gear in Dragon Form.”
“There are two reasons dragons seldom wear equipnt.” Tassera held up two fingers, “The first, as you said, is that it’s too much trouble for dragons to put on and take off equipnt, which usually requires assistance from others.”
“The second,” Tassera retracted one finger, “there’s no Dinsion Bag that can hold a dragon’s equipnt, making it inconvenient for dragons to carry their gear around.”
Tassera smiled radiantly, “Originally you had a spell that could open a small space, where you could stuff your equipnt, addressing the inconvenience dragons face with gearing up.
Now having mastered the Clothing and Undressing Skill, it perfectly solves the other problem…”
“Now you can wear equipnt as you please, although getting a full set is not easy.
Without hundreds of thousands of Gold Coins, it’s impossible.” Tassera asked, “Do you still think that spell is poor?”
“Good, it’s simply great.” Leon didn’t play coy.
Leon nodded thoughtfully and said, “I don’t need the Invincible Dragon Armor, my defenses are strong enough, but Tear Claw, I could use, provided it doesn’t affect my sword swinging…”
“I only have a pair of backward-sweeping horns, maybe I could fit a pair of forward-facing battering horns, then I could use battering attacks.
Also, my bite force is just average for a Red Dragon, with Dragon’s Jaw, I can bite at will.” Leon continued, “And I could fit a hamr on my tail, to smash precisely.”
Leon imagined for a mont, a Red Dragon equipped with weapons and armored, his face turning an unnatural blush…
His trump card was indeed all kinds of magical spells, defeating one powerful enemy after another with those spells, but strength was short term, while coolness lasted a lifeti.
“I’m going to find Efreeti right now, all other work can be put on hold, to prioritize making a set of gear…” Leon couldn’t wait to leave.
“What’s the rush…” Tassera said, “After working hard all night, are you really not hungry?”
As soon as Tassera finished talking, Leon’s stomach growled, his body truly empty.
