The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 644 - 0641: Bewildering Dragon’s Mind (First Update)

Chapter 644: Chapter 0641: Bewildering Dragon’s Mind (First Update)

The baby looked quite adorable.

Of course, Liszt knew that as an uncle, it was necessary to give a meeting gift, but he had not prepared anything. Although he had risen prominently over the years, his family wealth was not abundant—giving an elf as a gift was even more inappropriate, as nobles did not have the custom of gifting elves to each other.

“Perhaps I should give him a few books, my own published works?”

This thought had just emerged when he dismissed it, for while it would be acceptable to palm off an adult with books, giving books to a baby would seem somewhat perfunctory.

After a brief contemplation, he took out a sapphire and placed it in the sleeping Richard’s hand.

Looking at Richard, actually speaking to The Levis Couple, he said, “This sapphire was embedded in my Sky-Cleaving Greatsword. During the grand battle with Marquis Nuta, the greatsword was severely damaged and is no longer usable, but this sapphire remains intact. Richard, I am giving it to you, hoping that you too can become a strong knight like me!”

This was a wonderful wish, the significance of the gemstone profound.

Nowadays, Liszt is considered the standard for knights, a fitting life goal for Richard, not a boast but simply a fact.

The Levis Couple were obviously very pleased with Liszt’s gift, “Liszt, we thank you for your blessings for Richard, and we too hope that one day, he can become a strong knight like you!”

If it were an ordinary person’s blessing, they should wish for Richard to one day ride dragons, but that would be more of a polite gesture.

The goal of dragon riding is far too incredible, becoming a top warrior like Liszt should be the lifelong pursuit of all knights.

Of course.

The Levis Couple did not yet know that Liszt was actually the “Ghost Swordsman”.

The news of the Ancient Warrior heritage was only circulated among a select few Nobles, such information was not necessarily meant to be shared with everyone—In the age where knights ruled the world, the Ancient Warriors were destined to decline. Even if the heritage could be passed on, the families that mastered it would keep the secrets to themselves.

After delivering the meeting gift.

Liszt also received a gift, unsurprisingly, a potted plant brought by Lady Penelope.

Using the Eye of Magic to observe, this potted plant showed not the slightest trace of magic power, which both relieved him and caused a hint of disappointment—his appetite had long been spoiled by the elf bugs bred by the potted plants.

…

Basically, the entire afternoon was spent with Liszt telling stories.

Conquering the Snow Pear Castle guarded by Grand Magicians, swiftly seizing Little Riverheart Castle protected by four bridge arches, standing firm against Marquis Nuta, who possessed the Dou Qi Domain, attacking Egret Castle with lightning speed, opening up the Roaring River and the Three Dragons River Golden Waterway, and finally forcefully taking over the Trapped Dragon Mountain Iron Mine.

Countless ships sailed against the current and with it, carrying away those heavy iron ores on board.

Compared to the stumbling narrative of messenger knights, having the story’s hero, Liszt himself, recount these tales was intoxicating in a completely different way.

Especially the battle with Marquis Nuta, which could be considered a once-in-a-lifetime grand battle second only to slaying dragons—for the Duchy of Sapphire, such events might not occur even once in decades—in fact, it had never happened before. Without the Ancient Warrior heritage or the Dou Qi Domain Manual, they could only scramble for materials haphazardly.

Before the banquet, Liszt took the family to see his elves again.

Now, he had one Greater Elf—a Giant Algae Greater Elf.

Fourteen Minor Elves—Thorn, Corn Grass, three Giant Algae, Wheat, Agave, Broad Bean Green, Sorghum, Coptis, Apple, Flipping Grass, Pine, and Tobacco Minor Elf.

Ach’s Minor Elf—the Mangrove Minor Elf.

And Yevich’s minor elves—two Shui Huasheng minor elves.

Forty-three Elf Bugs—peanut, alfalfa, two thorns, two tulips, corn, two wheats, tomato, coconut, two dragon hollyhocks, corn grass, three rubbers, four serpent blood fruits, apple, barley, fig, blackberry, pea, smoked grass, green tea tree, Venus flytrap, autumn eggplant, horned melon, green yuanbao, human skull, lithops, eight giant algae, and laver elf bug.

Ach’s Elf Bugs—kelp, laver, mangrove, horsetail, and inkcap elf bug.

And Yevich’s Elf Bugs: erect centipeda, sweet potato, celery, needle grass, ryegrass, daisy, foxtail, wolf’s-tail grass, loosestrife, forsythia, two broom seedlings, rock lotus, and pothos elf bug.

Totaling.

1 greater elf, 17 little minor elves, 62 elf bugs.

Such numbers have already surpassed the Tulip Family in the aspect of little minor elves, equaled with greater elves, but still only half in terms of elf bugs.

“I can hardly believe it, you now already have richer assets than an ordinary earl’s family. Although the family has more elf bugs, you have more little minor elves!” Levis exclaimed, The Tulip Family’s elves were all contracted to him, but what the elders gave and what one earns themselves are two different kinds of achievements.

“Hehe.”

Liszt modestly said, “After all, I am the Son of Glory, the elves favor me more, and with a few more Pioneer Mandates, I’m afraid the castle’s Worm Room won’t even be able to fit these beautiful elves.”

Levis really wanted to retort—elves aren’t that easy to come by.

But as the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them back down. For others, elves are indeed rare, but it seems to be the opposite for Liszt—just from Lady Penelope’s potted plants alone, one could tell. He and Li Vera often brought back potted plants, yet not a single one had ever nurtured an elf bug.

So all he could do was force a smile in agreement, “I believe that day will come.”

…

The feast was lively and festive.

They enjoyed themselves until midnight before dispersing, and after arranging accommodations for his grandmother and others, Liszt, having bathed, lay back in his own bed, the excitement from being praised still not completely settled.

He reflected on the past two and a half years since his crossing into this world. Although he had not created any earth-shattering changes, he had not remained obscure either.

At least within the Duchy of Sapphire, this corner of the continent, he had repeatedly become the center of attention, becoming a household name. Once the battle over the iron mine was over, his name was destined to sweep through the various islands of the country, discussed by nobles and commoners alike.

All the young knights would, no doubt, set him as their target, whether out of jealousy or admiration.

“I really want to succeed in dragon riding quickly… My coolness won’t allow me to stay low-key any longer,” he thought somewhat absentmindedly. In this world, without becoming a Dragon Knight, one was ultimately an ant. Only by becoming a Dragon Knight would he have the freedom to do as he wished.

Gradually, a wisp of illusory smoke rose in front of him.

Every time he was lost in thought or focused, the Smoke Mission would naturally appear.

“Huh?”

His attention quickly returned, focusing on the change in the Smoke Mission: “Complete the mission, reward three Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruits.”

“The mission is already completed, indicating that the Duchy of Sapphire’s Pioneer Mandate has officially ended. Either Dragon Knight Alonso Xiankelai has hurried back, or the iron ore has been depleted… But what is this reward, three unheard-of Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruits, could it be…”

A bold idea quickly surfaced in his mind: “Could it be similar to Bloodline Fruit, but of a bewitching type? Bewildering Dragon… Mind… Is this a magical fruit for beguiling dragons?”
