The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 940 - 0937: See You Again If It’s Destined (Third Update, 20/147 Additional Update for Alliance Hierarch)

Chapter 940 -0937: See You Again If It’s Destined (Third Update, 20/147 Additional Update for Alliance Hierarch)

Pegasus stepped out of the Reed Marsh Magic Gate, attracting the attention of many onlookers. Horses—beautiful, majestic, and even winged—were a sight many had never seen before.

The Flame People and Moon Slayers all looked up in amazement, eager to fully appreciate these creatures as elegant as swans during the daytime.

Suddenly.

A knight pointed to the sky and exclaimed, “There are horns. These Pegasi have horns, long silver horns. Bathed in knightly glory, am I seeing Unicorns?”

“Unicorns?”

Hearing the call, another knight quickly spotted the Storm Dragon Horses with silver-white spiral horns above him and swiftly joined the chorus of astonishment, “They really are Unicorns!”

“Incredible, I’m actually seeing Unicorns—the purest creatures of legend!”

“One, two, three… four, there are four Unicorns, and one of them even has a broken horn! Knightly glory shines upon us, His Highness has brought back so many Pegasi and Unicorns, unimaginable!”

“What’s so unimaginable about that? Remember that His Highness once kept Phoenixes at Thorn Castle!” A knight, after the initial excitement, quickly calmed down and retorted with a tone of someone who had seen much of the world.

“That’s right, His Highness has ridden so many Dragons, so what’s a few Unicorns or Phoenixes.”

Just then, as the herd of Pegasi had just flown out of the Reed Marsh Magic Gate, two figures suddenly appeared in the air. One figure was familiar to the knights—the sacred and unimaginable Formless Dragon Bard, whom the great Dragon Knight Lord often rode to inspect his lands.

However, the next figure rendered the knights speechless.

It was a creature resembling a Pegasus, magnificent and unblemished, with a golden horn atop its head and covered in rainbow—it had a noble demeanor that was in no way inferior to Dragons, as beautiful as a creature from dreams.

“This…”

“It is Prince Acherloides!”

“The one Prince Archmage is riding must be the real Unicorn, right?”

“Yes, that is a Unicorn. Legends say Unicorn can only be approached by the purest of maidens, only Highness Acherloides is worthy to ride a Unicorn!”

“The Pegasi and horned Pegasi that flew by earlier are no match for Highness Acherloides’s steed!”

Unicorn Charlie’s appearance, as Liszt had anticipated, captured everyone’s attention. Even Formless Dragon Bard seemed dull in comparison at that moment. Not because the knights felt the Unicorn was more noble, but because they had often seen the Formless Dragon and it no longer held any novelty for them. It was their first time seeing a Unicorn.

“Brother, Acher will need time to find a habitat that the Pegasus Herd likes. It may take time to settle them, but Charlie is fast. It shouldn’t take more than a few days,” said Ach.

“Alright, you go ahead with that, and I’ve got my official duties to tend to. Once you’ve chosen a good habitat, let me know. I’ll personally oversee the Territory Officers to build the ‘Pegasus Ranch’. I hope the Pegasus Herd can be put to use for me soon,” Liszt responded, thinking of his Burning Legion.

The plan for the Burning Legion was already quite elaborate.

The Royal Knight Squad mounted on Flame Dragon Birds, the Mammoth Knight Brigade mounted on Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephants, the Blizzard Knights mounted on Blizzard Beasts, the Common Burning Knight Regiment mounted on Black Blood Treasured Horses.

And now, he would add the Pegasus Knights mounted on Pegasi.

Of course, assembling all these knight orders remained fraught with difficulties—the Flame Dragon Birds could hardly be mass-produced, and the training of Fire Paladins had not even started; finding a suitable breeding plan for the Blizzard Beasts always proved elusive, and Bloodline Fruits were too scarce to manufacture Blizzard Beasts in bulk.

But as the saying goes, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Gradually accumulating resources would eventually allow the expansion of the Burning Legion into a formidable protective force for the Flame Family.

Southward invasions and northern battles, a unified continent.

As Liszt gazed upon the swan-like Pegasus and envisioned his own Burning Legion, he was suddenly reminded of Bear One and Bear Two he had left behind in the Pegasus Great Forest.

The value of the two Advanced Magical Beasts was not low, but as it wasn’t easy to bring them back, he had not sought to find them again.

“Maybe we’ll meet again if it’s meant to be.” Shaking his head, he then remembered the one hundred Gold Coins he had because he had found the Pegasus Herd directly and had not sought out a Ranger to buy information.

Now that he thought about it, although the money wasn’t a significant amount, there was still a sense of regret at it being wasted.

Suddenly, a puff of smoke appeared before his eyes, forming new content in Serpent Script: “Task completed, reward: the blood code of the Child of the Sun.”

And the new task soon covered the reward details: “Task: To be rich, build roads first; however, in a world with magic, perhaps a Magic Teleportation Array is the best path. As the Flame King, why not seek more natural nodes to establish a transportation network. Reward: New paper.”

“Hmm, only my will could project such a saying as ‘to be rich, build roads first.'”

Liszt felt a fleeting sense of superiority regarding the Smoke Mission’s phrasing and then started to ponder: “Rewarding me with new paper, could it be the White Paper Workshop is launching a new product? The current quality of white paper seems quite good; can the new product be the tissues that I had instructed them to produce?”

With the invention of white paper, the thick, foul-smelling, costly, and lesser-content paper had been completely phased out from the Duchy of Sapphire.

White paper not only dominated the Duchy of Sapphire but also saw large-scale sales to the Steel Ridge Kingdom and Eagle Kingdom.

Becoming a sought-after product among the Nobles.

Whenever he received gifts from other Royal Families, Liszt would choose some seemingly inexpensive items like white paper, glass, porcelain, and perfume—items he deemed valuable—to return the favor. White paper was of high importance, especially the high-quality ones.

Because of varying processes and pulp, the quality of white paper produced could differ significantly.

Currently, the workshop mainly produced and sold three types of white paper—cardboard, rough paper, and fine paper.

Cardboard was quite thick and made using a straightforward process, suitable for folding into boxes; rough paper was akin to the lower-quality type used in bathrooms; fine paper, on the other hand, was the standard white paper that facilitated smooth writing, selling at a considerably high price and only affordable to the Nobles.

The White Paper Workshop also manufactured a tribute paper exclusive for Liszt’s use, its quality comparable to that of fine calligraphy paper.

This was also one of the main gifts he would share with various Royal Families.

Yet he still wasn’t satisfied, thinking that the White Paper Workshop should also develop tissues, to replace the use of handkerchiefs and napkins.

“In a while, the person in charge of the White Paper Workshop should report the progress to me, and perhaps he will come forward to take credit with the tissues?” Liszt thought that this might be the reward referred to by the Smoke Mission.

Although he could have created tissues without the interference of the Smoke Mission, he decided to set aside time to search for new natural nodes.

“Magic Teleportation Arrays are indeed much more convenient than building roads. Currently, there are only five natural nodes on the island that can be used—Whirlpool Cave, Jade Mountain, Reed Marsh, Ruins Entrance, and Volcano Crater—which obviously are not enough to lay out a transportation network. Bard has recently seen significant improvements in his abilities; it’s time to search carefully for new natural nodes.”
