The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 939 - 0936: Crossing the Sea (Second Update)

Chapter 939 -0936: Crossing the Sea (Second Update)

Ach hoped to protect Li Si Te (Liszt), a thought that had been engraved in the little sea monster’s mind since the moment Liszt had protected him.

Liszt did not refuse Ach’s kindness, nor did he harbor any thoughts of being “protected” by a “woman” or “living off a woman.”

The relationship between him and Ach had reached a level where it didn’t matter who protected whom; they were both already standing at the pinnacle of this world’s power.

He smiled.

Liszt returned to the main topic, “So, enhancing the levels of magic power is Charlie’s new ability. With this, Charlie’s abilities have become even more powerful. Perhaps its own combat power is not as strong as a dragon’s, but the increase in strength it brings to its riders, especially magicians, is indeed something even dragons cannot match.”

From the moment Ach mounted the unicorn Charlie, the Smoke Mission had already been completed.

“Mission completed, reward: one unicorn.”

This meant that the unicorn had become Ach’s exclusive mount and also represented a strong supporting force owned by Liszt—helping Ach was equivalent to helping him; there was no difference.

In the following three days, he collaborated with Ach to study Charlie’s abilities.

Charlie, who favored Ach very much, cooperated completely, continuously displaying its abilities. After summarizing, they identified approximately five incredible abilities.

The first one, Void Sprint—Charlie did not have the traditional ability to fly; its wings were just for show, and it did not release any Wind System Magic. Its so-called flight was more like running through the void; space and matter did not constrain it, and it could run just as well underwater.

Moreover, its speed during the Void Sprint was extremely fast; when it sprinted, its figure was hard to discern with the naked eye. According to Ach’s estimates, Charlie’s top sprinting speed had surpassed the speed of sound, reaching one thousand four hundred kilometers per hour, which was faster than Ach swimming at the speed of sound in water.

However, the extreme sprint was not sustainable; Charlie could maintain its peak sprinting speed for a maximum of two hours, with a normal running speed of about five hundred kilometers per hour.

The second ability, Discerning Good and Evil—Charlie could distinguish the attitudes of humans and any other creatures towards it, whether they were benevolent or malicious. It could also communicate mentally with many creatures, understanding most of the messages they wanted to convey; it was definitely a qualified interpreter.

The third ability, Eye of Truth—no hidden methods could be used in front of Charlie, it could see through Formless Dragons hiding at the edge of substances. Whether it was this type of spatial method of hiding, or any other disguise or transformation, none could escape its eyes.

The fourth ability, Pure Element—Charlie’s body seemed to have no flow of magic power, yet, it could cooperate with Ach to exhibit various properties similar to Elemental Incarnations. Especially the Space Elemental Incarnation, allowing it to follow Ach into the boundary of matter and, with the help of Formless Dragon Bard, to shuttle through space.

The fifth ability, Magic Power Enhancement—this was the ability Ach had just discovered, which could elevate the caster’s magic power by one level, turning High Magic into Superior Magic.

Five abilities, each one profoundly extraordinary, brought the value of the unicorn to a level of parity with dragons.

Even to a certain extent, the value of the unicorn was greater than that of a dragon.

Indeed, it could not produce resources or suppress a whole country with battle power. But if combined with an Archmage, it could allow the Archmage to exhibit combat power comparable to a Dragon Knight; the ability to Discern Good and Evil could let it act as a translator in front of various creatures, which would be extremely beneficial for the development of husbandry and breeding industries.

For instance, it could control a herd of Pegasus, which presented great value, providing a boost for Liszt’s new Smoke Mission.

“Mission: Unicorn Charlie has now become Ach’s profitable mount and assistant. Although the relationship between the Pegasus herd and the unicorn is unknown, this does not hinder you from migrating them to Flame Island, making them the exclusive herd of the Flame Family. Please complete this Pegasus migration. Reward: Sun Child Blood Code.”

With unicorn Charlie, driving the Pegasus to Flame Island posed no difficulty.

As for the mission’s reward.

Liszt was somewhat surprised yet felt it was not unexpected that the Magic Guild had a group of Grand Magicians who were engaged in the mysterious era of Druid Magic all day long.

They studied Druid transformation, the cultivation of Magic Beans, and the growth of Transforming Trees.

And the foundation of all Druid Magic research was the Sun Child bloodline.

Descendants of Old Tanner Phil were being born in succession—the group of magicians arranged for a group of volunteer serfs to conceive with Old Phil and bribed Old Phil’s legitimate widow to make the process unimpeded. They submitted the plan for review to the committee and handed it over to Liszt for decision-making.

The Grand Magicians solemnly swore they would never mistreat the newborn Sun Child infants and would raise them as Magic Apprentices.

After much hesitation, Liszt reluctantly approved the request—he also hoped that Druid Magic could truly flourish and contribute value to the Flame Kingdom.

“Finally, we are about to crack the Sun Child Blood Code. Does this mean that in the future the magicians of the Flame Kingdom… no, it should be the arcanists, will also be able to perform Druid Transformation Magic?” The identity of a magician was gradually being diluted in Liszt’s view.

From now on, all researchers related to magic power and casters would be uniformly called Arcanists.

Regardless, he would not allow magicians to reenter the combat lineup; as a beneficiary and manipulator of the knight system, he needed to ensure the dominance of the knights, unshaken for a thousand years.

…

“Ach, you and Charlie have almost finished tuning. It’s time to depart from Pegasus Great Forest,” Liszt decided to return on July 22nd.

They set off on July 10th and had spent twelve days in their journey through Pegasus Great Forest.

The journey back would likely take another two days, perfectly making a two-week trip, aligning with the expectations before departure. Any further delay, and a myriad of accumulated matters back in his domain would fray his nerves—even though he could delegate most of the work to his followers and his father, Marquis Bull Tail.

The nascent stage of the kingdom could not be without his decision-making.

A large part of the reason was due to his own actions, blindly pursuing quick and large-scale achievements while simultaneously starting countless projects, leaving his subordinate officials completely unable to coordinate and maintain such a mess.

“Brother, Ach has already spoken to Charlie. It will have the Pegasus Herd follow it as it leaves.”

“Alright, let’s plan a route first, avoiding human settlements, and then approach the coastline. Though these Pegasus might not have the ability to fly across the sea, they will need your help, Ach.”

“Don’t worry, Brother. Ach can already release Superior Magic. Carrying the Pegasus Herd across the sea will not be a problem.”

Indeed, that was the case.

When the Pegasus reached the seaside, Ach directly conjured several huge Ice Shields that floated on the sea. As all the Pegasus mounted the ice blocks, she rode Unicorn Charlie, controlling the water flow to rapidly move the ice blocks across the sea. After a brief acceleration, they swiftly reached near sonic speeds.

“Ach, are you tired?” Liszt and Bard also stood on a huge Ice Shield.

“It’s quite easy. With Charlie’s help, the magic consumption is minimal, but the effect achieved is very strong,” responded Ach as she petted Charlie’s satin-like mane, smiling. Having such a beautiful and powerful mount made her unusually happy these past few days.

An hour and a half later, the Pegasus Herd successfully arrived at Mind Island.

Having already received a notification from the Magic Platform, the stationed Knight Order temporarily drove out the merchants and serfs on the island, isolating a safe space, allowing the Pegasus to cross through the Magic Gate one by one without disturbance, stepping onto the lands of Flame Island.
