The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 638 - 0635: Scared (First Update)

Chapter 638: Chapter 0635: Scared (First Update)

“`

“There are quite a few Completion Level Sky Knights in the country, and basically, as long as a member of the Marquis Family isn’t too stupid or worthless, they can accumulate a Completion Level Sky Knight with the help of Magic Potions. However, a Domain Knight has never been born; this is no longer something that resources can accumulate.”

Nesta Big Flower Hydrangea shared many valuable pieces of information, probably because Liszt had reached a certain height, which made him feel it was worth giving a favor by telling him: “The past generations of Grand Dukes have all attempted to trade for the Dou Qi Domain cultivation inheritance from the Steel Ridge Kingdom, but without exception, they failed.”

“Is it because the price offered was not high enough, or is it the technology blockade of the Steel Ridge Kingdom?”

“You see the problem very clearly. Indeed, it’s not that the Grand Dukes were unwilling to pay a huge price, but the Steel Ridge Kingdom does not want to see the Duchy of Sapphire becoming too powerful. When the First Grand Duke failed in the dragon-slaying battle, no one would have thought that one day the Duchy of Sapphire could dominate the seas, even posing a threat to the Steel Ridge Kingdom.”

The Sapphire Fleet, coming and going like the wind, easily attacking the Continental Kingdoms’ hinterland, grabbing as they pleased, certainly posed a threat.

“Then hasn’t the Grand Duke tried to snatch the Dou Qi Domain inheritance from the hands of those landlords who have it?”

“The Grand Duke cannot act rashly, and without taking action himself, with our strength, it’s very difficult to deal with a Domain Knight. Perhaps after you grow stronger, you can suppress a Domain Knight and find an opportunity to snatch the Dou Qi Domain inheritance.” Nesta stared at Liszt with burning, spirited eyes.

Anyone with clear eyes could see the value of the Ghost Swordsman inheritance.

Although the general trend of the era is for Knights to overpower everything, and all inheritances of Ancient Magicians and Ancient Warriors are gradually fading away and being swallowed by the Knights, the Ghost Swordsman is also a declining inheritance of a fallen civilization, destined to eventually disappear into the river of history.

But, under the current circumstances, the Ancient Warrior inheritance is still a very important force in combat.

“My strength mostly comes from the Spiritual Power left by G.S.D mentor, not the results of my own cultivation. I’m afraid it will take me a few more years to grasp the real cultivation system of the Ghost Swordsman. When that time comes, if I have the opportunity, I will take action myself to snatch the Dou Qi Domain inheritance.”

Liszt gave a simple, evasive reply.

Half an hour later, after mutually flattering and pandering to each other, the conversation ended. Liszt declined Marquis Nesta’s invitation to dinner and left the castle to return to Sunset.

Without spending the night in Bull Hoof City, Sunset set sail for the sea directly.

Four days later.

Sunset arrived at Black Horse Port harbor, setting off on July 20 and returning on August 27. This period of over a month could be described with the saying, “One should view those who have undergone changes with a fresh eye.” Lsi Te, returning to his territory, was warmly welcomed by Territory Officers and civilians alike.

Consultant Goltai piled on relentless flattery as if it cost nothing at all.

“The glory of the Knight shines upon you, my Lord…”

“Enough. Don’t speak of hollow formalities. I am going to be very busy upon my return. So, Consultant Goltai, coordinate with the Territory Officers and give me a detailed report on the territory’s development tomorrow. For now, I have many Little Minor Elves that need to be quickly settled with Cordyceps.”

Nine Little Minor Elves were currently being held in Jade Boxes by Retainer Knights, following behind Liszt.

Wheat, Sword Grass, Broad Bean Green, Sorghum, Coptis, Apple, Turn White Grass, Pine, Tobacco—any of the nine Minor Elves were waking up from their slumber.

Flying out of the boxes, they circled around Liszt, either curiously or boredly, cautiously or boldly looking at the new environment. They varied in shape and personality, their calls high and low, but all were so beautiful and exquisite, a delight to the eyes, instantly endearing.

Seeing so many Little Minor Elves.

The eyes of Goltai and the others were practically popping out: “My, my, Lord… this…”

“I captured a few Sky Knights, and this is the ransom they paid. Now let me tell you their species. you must quickly plan out their Cordyceps settling points on Black Horse Island… Also, this is Yevich Water Peanut, known as the Clear Water Sword Saint. He is my follower.”

Immediately, Yevich stepped forward, bowing slightly, and greeted in not very fluent Serpent Script: “Yevich greets everyone.”

“`

“Ah, a Sword Saint!”

“A Sword Saint powerhouse?”

“My lord’s follower is actually a Sword Saint powerhouse?”

“My heavens!”

The territory officials were all shocked, for even an average Sky Knight was an unattainable existence to them, let alone a Sky Knight of the Sword Saint Level.

However, Liszt was not pleased with their reactions.

Exclaiming in surprise at the sight of a Sword Saint, what if they saw how he had crushed the Domain Knights in his glorious days? Wouldn’t they have been scared to death?

Of course, Liszt did not blame them, nor did he flaunt himself—there was no need for him to boast, as the knights who had followed him into battle and returned would naturally spread his great achievements far and wide, ensuring that all the residents of his territory knew just how powerful their lord was.

Having a Sword Saint as a follower was just basic practice for him.

He glared at the flustered Goltai, “Yevich also has two Little Minor Elves, as well as fourteen Elf Bugs, which will be planted on Black Horse Island. You need to coordinate the arrangements… Captain Marcus, take Yevich to get familiar with Black Horse Island.”

“Yes, my lord!” Goltai hurriedly responded.

“Yes, my lord!” Marcus replied in kind.

Liszt continued his introductions, “This is Alvin Eagle Sword, a Steel Ridge Knight, and my follower. He will be teaching the Steel Ridge Knight courses at the Knight Academy, Consultant Goltai, make sure to arrange this properly.”

“Ah, yes, my lord!”

“These two are Viscount Garcia and Viscount Fox, two Sky Knights. They are… foreign guests. Arrange accommodations for them in the port town.” Without Liszt having to clarify their status, it was evident from their expressions that they were captives.

Goltai was taken aback for a moment, not immediately catching on.

It wasn’t until Marcus approached him and quietly explained the situation that Goltai finally realized what was happening and stammered, “Y-yes, my lord, please rest assured, I w-will make the necessary arrangements.” After speaking, he laboriously swallowed, as today’s events proved to be a massive shock to him.

He would need to find a small tavern later and sit for a moment to drink some Fresh Flower Brew to calm his nerves.

Yet his alarm was not over.

Down from the Sunset came seven or eight magicians donned in Magic Cloaks, one of them a pale-faced female magician who curiously surveyed Black Horse Port and asked softly, “My lord, is this your Territory Black Horse Island? The residents here have happy smiles on their faces.”

The equally shocked Blair had a sudden flash of insight at that moment and quickly responded, “Esteemed magician, the happiness you see in the lives of the residents of Black Horse Island is all thanks to our Lord Landlord’s benevolence!”

While this flattery was blunt,

it was more pleasurable to the ear than the flattery Goltai offered upon first meeting.

Liszt smiled and said to Bloody Mary, “I hope you will enjoy life here, Mary. Take the three Grand Magicians with you and follow me to the Magic Academy in the Mage Tower. You’ll be residing in the Mage Tower from now on.”

“We obey your arrangements, my lord.”
