The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 667 - 0664: Local Area Network (First Update)

Chapter 667: Chapter 0664: Local Area Network (First Update)

Emily’s talent was indeed powerful, and she possessed the determination to practice diligently. Liszt had no reason to stop her—knights recover quickly as long as they are well-nourished, and don’t face the risk of overtraining and crippling themselves like ordinary people do.

If she could really make a breakthrough to become a Sky Knight.

Then he would have the only female Sky Knight follower in the Duchy of Sapphire, which was a rather exhilarating honor. Moreover, her entire career was sponsored by Liszt, meaning she belonged wholly to Liszt. Even if she became ennobled in the future, she would still be a noble of the type found in the Blue Blood Alliance.

The Blue Blood Alliance was a “private military force” of knight order belonging to the Sapphire Family.

Perhaps in the future, Liszt would also need to establish his own family’s private military force—the Burning Legion. As for why such an ominous name, it was because he had a Little Fire Dragon Leo that could burn endlessly, so naturally, it would be called the Burning Legion.

And such a name gave him an inexplicable thrill as if he had become the ultimate Boss.

In any case, Emily was a huge potential stock worth investing in, just like the twin Magic Apprentice sisters, Lucy and Ruth, all of whom were targets indicated by the Smoke Mission. In Liszt’s view, it probably meant that these three had “Hero Templates,” and if nurtured properly, would become powerful “heroes.”

Liszt couldn’t teach Lucy and Ruth, the magic knowledge, but he could guide Emily in knight training.

While he was immersed in teaching, many Magic Plants and Magic Plants from the Child of the Sun civilization that had been transported from villas by the sea in Fresh Flower Town were now shipped to Black Horse Island and carried to the Magic Academy. Most of the research material translated by Ach also arrived by ship.

Now these materials and Magic Plants would be handed over to Chris Truth, who would arrange for the magicians at the Magic Academy to work together to tackle Natural Magic.

The three Grand Magicians confined to the Magic Academy could also participate in this research—a study deemed by Liszt to be of little value.

The growth rate of the Magic Plants was severely below expectations, taking years to mature and over a decade to become high-yielding. Even with high yields, they couldn’t make up for the initial magic resource consumption. The conditions for casting Natural Magic were very stringent, especially for transformation Natural Magic, which required the bloodline of the Child of the Sun.

So, while Ach focused on researching the Magic Web, Liszt decided to entrust these Magic Plants and Natural Magic to the Magic Academy for further study.

It would enrich the knowledge of the magicians, diverting them from researching topics they shouldn’t, and should there be a breakthrough in Natural Magic, all the better.

In any case, the civilization of the Child of the Sun rapidly caught the attention of many magicians, led by Chris, and even vampires like Mary Dawnbreak became involved in studying Natural Magic—mainly interested in researching Druid transformations, which shared a similar magic essence with their ability to transform into bats.

“Actually, for these magicians, I should issue more research topics to help them transform into scholars!” Liszt knew that the magicians at the Magic Academy were focused on studying Natural Magic, and he had some new ideas.

Originally, he intended for Chris to make the Magic Academy a “technical college” type, training workers who only knew how to refine Magic Potions and create Magic Equipment. But now it seemed that publishing some interesting topics for research might genuinely turn the Magic Academy into an integrated “university” of education, research, and application.

“The magicians in this world are too enamored with magic power itself, unable to extricate themselves, while knights are solely fixated on charging into battle, all overlooking the technical value of magic power itself.”

On the way back to Fresh Flower Town.

He was still pondering this issue, “Can I treat magic power as a kind of energy source? Since it is possible to create various combat and auxiliary Magic Equipment, why not apply Magic Equipment for civilian use, such as making a magic-powered electric fan… However, magic storage is a problem.”

Magic Power must be guided by magicians to form powerful magic.

For things like Magic Equipment, knights and magicians also need to use Magic Power to activate the Magic Arrays within them.

“Regardless, this is an excellent idea. I’ll have Chris pay more attention to this aspect… It is said that during the height of the Moon Empire, they could build a Magic Teleportation Array that reached the moon. I wonder if I can get the magicians to research the Teleportation Array, and if they could make a successful breakthrough?”

They could probably research until their hair turned white.

…

The affairs of the territory were settled.

It would probably take another month or two to prepare for the promotion to marquis, so there was no need for Liszt to worry.

He had just received a letter from his cousin, Mei Oubo.

In the letter, Mei Oubo congratulated him on becoming a powerful Ghost Swordsman and the second strongest person in the country, and thanked him for the often-sent invigorating and energizing foods and medicines. Lastly, it mentioned that Marquis Merlin’s health had improved, and if conditions allowed, the marquis would like to come to Black Horse Island to celebrate the annual festival with him this year.

Liszt instructed a servant to bring paper and pen and quickly wrote a reply—the content of the letter was rather simple, just expressing his intention to find time to visit Red Crab Island soon.

After writing the letter, he had one of the Retainer Knights send it to Tulip Castle on his behalf.

Then he announced that he would go into seclusion.

Seclusion did not mean locking himself away completely; it simply meant declining social engagements and putting aside the administration of the territory to focus solely on eating, sleeping, and cultivation.

The main place for his seclusion was the seaside villa.

He planned to have Ach assist him in studying the next step in the Dragon Knight’s training methods—as one could probably deduce from the Smoke Mission, dragon-riding training and Ach’s advancement as an Archmage were related, and there might be significant lessons to learn. Ach had mentioned before that a knight is like a mini Magic Web.

If the real Magic Web is the internet, then a knight himself might be a local area network.

“Ach, do you think if a knight’s Magic Web expanded indefinitely, would it eventually become a Magic Web similar to the real Magic Web?” he tried to provide Ach with some inspiration.

On Earth, the existence of the GFW meant that China’s internet was essentially a large local area network.

But for most people, this large local area network was practically no different from the internet; aside from not being able to browse foreign websites, it was fully functional.

The Magic Web properties of a weak knight were very faint, akin to a small local area network made up of a few connected computers. Now, as a Dragon Knight, Liszt’s Magic Web properties should be very close to a real Magic Web, similar to this large local area network of China.

Perhaps by thoroughly studying his operating principles as a Dragon Knight, Ach could truly touch the essence of the Magic Web.

Therefore.

In the following period.

He was engrossed in intensive research on the secrets of dragon-riding with Ach.

He often traveled to Dodo Island, released Little Fire Dragon Leo, and would ride Leo as he followed Ach’s arrangements for various trials. Although he had not yet discovered new cultivation methods beyond Dragon Magic Refining Qi and Dragon Breath Tempering, his skills in dragon riding combat had become exceedingly proficient, especially since Leo’s Magic Power was connected to his Dou Qi.

The power of his attacks multiplied by several geometrical magnitudes.

A single use of the Crimson Dawn Burn could redden half the sky, and a Scorching Sun Sting could directly create a meteorite crater on the ground. Three Arrows Released Together was even more powerful than missile launches.

Every time he rode a dragon, a thought would automatically surface in his mind, “I am very strong!”
