The Mighty Dragons Are Dead

Chapter 798: Chapter 0795 – The Young Lady of Our Family is Growing Up (Second Update)
 

Returning from Mind Island with no success,

Liszt couldn’t wait to urge the construction of the shipyard on Black Horse Island. He was a man full of contradictions, sometimes leisurely dragging his feet, yet at other times, impatient for results.

However, the development of the shipbuilding industry couldn’t be accelerated by mere urgency. Even with the guidance of the shipbuilders from the Sapphire Family, and the original shipwrights from the territory conducting research and trials, mastering the technology of the three-masted sailing ship was still not well within reach. As time passed, they kept accumulating knowledge and continually experimenting.

While silently waiting for the shipyard to build the three-masted sailing ships, Liszt immersed himself in refining the “Fire Dragon Knight-Dragon Dou Qi’s Manual.”

One day, when he was inspecting the smithy in the territory, he saw the blacksmiths rhythmically hammering the iron with both large and small hammers, shaping the red-hot iron. Suddenly, he was struck with a myriad of inspirations. Soon after, he created the fifth move based on the rhythm of the hammering—Earthshake.

From then on, the Dragon Dou Qi Manual consisted of five moves.

Dragon Slash – Chop, Sky Burning – Sweep, Swallow Sun – Stab, Sea-Boiling – Strangle, and Earthshake – Pound. When performed in conjunction with Little Fire Dragon Leo, the Fire Dragon Knight’s strength surged tremendously.

Although he still didn’t know the next stage of a Dragon Knight’s training, at this current stage, his strength could continue to skyrocket. Judging by his experience riding both dragons, his combat power was roughly half that of a Completion Level Light Green Sapphire Dragon Knight. Once he became a Completion Level Fire Dragon Knight, his strength would surpass that of a Completion Level Light Green Sapphire Dragon Knight.

“To put it simply, a Completion Level Dragon Knight is equivalent to an Elite Earth Knight adept in combat skills. Since the ‘magic potion’ route is unclear, I can only enhance my strength by continuously refining my combat skills… After reaching mastery in soul, I fear I will only be able to bolster my strength by constantly honing the Dragon Dou Qi Manual,”

Liszt reflected.

But he soon came to terms with it, “Other Dragon Knights may waste their time at the Dragon Knight stage, but I may have a clue about the next stage of training. With the help of the Smoke Mission and the effects of the Eye of Magic, finding the path to break through the limits of a Dragon Knight won’t be difficult.”

With the Smoke Mission, an ability that seemed to be a touch of the Power of Destiny, Liszt had such effortless confidence.

…

June arrived in the blink of an eye.

The Light Green Gemstone Dragon had recovered, ready to soar through the skies and display its majesty. Of course, its foundations were still weak, and it would take several years of nurturing to return to its peak condition.

Regardless,

Liszt left Little Fire Dragon Leo to sleep on Black Horse Island and headed for Dodo Island. He mounted Light Green Gem Dragon Ethan and began migrating southward—he planned to pull the Light Green Gemstone Dragon to an unexplored new island, which was the large island south of the First Chain Island.

Not only was that island lush with vegetation, it also housed many Magical Beasts, which would suffice to allow Ethan to roam—plus with Liszt’s frequent support of Magic Potions and other resources, it was barely possible to sustain a dragon on a single island.

This was only a temporary solution.

Once he found an archipelago suitable for establishing a kingdom, Liszt would build a Dragon Nest for both Ethan and Leo, supporting these two dragons. Perhaps not just these two; it was also time for an old friend, the Formless Dragon, to arrive.

“The Formless Dragon visits once a year, and I’ve been thinking about it for quite a while. I’m not sure if it’s been trapped by the Smoke Mission and is on its way… This time when it arrives, I’ll not only have some top-quality Smoked Grass and roasted beef ready for it but also a Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit.”

The value of a Space Gem far exceeded that of any other gemstone.

What was crucial was that he had three dragons by then, enough to establish a kingdom that spanned the sea. And once he annexed the Duchy of Sapphire, perfect!

As he was indulging in a vision of a wonderful future, Lucy hurried down from upstairs, “Your Highness, the Adventure Fleet has sent a message!”

“What’s the message?”

“Captain Yevich sent a message; they have discovered new islands. They’ve explored three of them, all closely situated and large in size. The biggest is as large as Coral Island and the smallest is as big as Black Horse Island, with many coral reefs around,”

“Really!”

Liszt could no longer sit still, steadying his excited emotions, he went upstairs with Lucy.

Rose was tinkering with the Magic Platform, the compass making ticking sounds of magic reaction, while she took notes with one hand. With some time spent training, the twins, who had a decent magical gift, had become qualified operators and telegraphists, handling the Magic Platform rhythmically like a nightclub DJ.

“Your Highness!”

Upon seeing Liszt’s arrival, Rose immediately put down her quill and bowed respectfully to Liszt.

“No need for formalities, focus on operating the Magic Platform. What is Yevich saying?” Lucille fetched a chair and Liszt sat down.

“Captain Yevich’s fleet has already set forth again. They are following the terrain of the islands and searching other sea areas in an effort to determine the number and size of the new islands as soon as possible.”

“Good, put me in contact with Yevich.”

The Magic Platform had entered its 3.0 era, with further improved functionality and significantly better communication quality.

Although it still wasn’t as convenient as natural conversation, it could now convey much more information like a chat. After half an hour of continuous communication, Liszt basically understood the location of the new archipelago: it was merely 400 kilometers away from the island where the Light Green Gem Dragon currently resided.

The location was to the southwest.

“The First Chain Island is 500 kilometers from the new island, and the new island is 400 kilometers from the New Archipelago. It’s quite exhilarating; this seems to be a true archipelago! The First Chain Island is just a remote corner of the continental shelf, but the New Archipelago is the true highlands of the shelf.”

He immediately ordered that Yevich’s fleet put all their effort into the search for the New Archipelago and that the other two Adventure Fleets set sail immediately toward the New Archipelago, to explore these potentially hope-filled New Islands together.

The Magic Platform communication ended.

Leaning back in his chair, Liszt leisurely savored a cup of green tea Mrs. Morson had brought him.

Lucy and Rose, the curious twins, asked, “Your Highness, if we have found the New Archipelago, does that mean we can establish our own country?”

“Of course.”

“Does Your Highness want to be a king?”

“That depends on the situation. Perhaps I will just advance to a Grand Duke, and then our country would be called the Grand Duchy of Flame; if I have more dragons, I might directly become a king, and then our country would be called the Flame Kingdom,” Liszt said with a smile, fond of the clever and adorable twins.

The two young girls were not only cute and talented but also had a very endearing personality.

In Liszt’s heart, he gradually felt like he was watching his own daughters grow up—he himself was over thirty in soul, and with the twins being not even ten, there was indeed a father-daughter age gap, as well as a brimming expectation to see them succeed.

The other day.

The twins had almost learned Common Magic and were about to become Magicians.
