Chapter 941 -0938: A King’s Congratulations Gift (Fourth Update, Alliance Hierarch Additional Update 21/147)

The search for natural nodes had to wait until official duties were dealt with.

Liszt first returned to Flame Castle, not planning to start handling official matters immediately. He decided to have a meal first, and later he planned to interact and bond with his dragons.

Having not seen Grey Iron Dragon Ornn, Light Green Gem Dragon Ethan, and Mountain Copper Dragon Mata for two weeks, the dragons must have missed him terribly.

However, just as he returned to Flame Castle and before he had time to bathe, Butler Carter reported, “My lord, the Moon Slayer Tribe statue parts that you had the knights search for have been retrieved—five parts in total, including a piece of the arm, all stored in the castle’s warehouse. Would you like to see them?”

“The statue part of the arm? Good, I’ll go right now.” Liszt lifted an eyebrow and immediately headed to the warehouse.

In the warehouse, he collected five parts of the statue fragments, and directly smashed them all—all but the first four fragments contained nothing sealed within.

Only the fifth part, the arm, seemed to be holding a round box in its severed hand. Once smashed, a divine artifact sealed inside was revealed.

Wiping away the stone fragments and dust on it, there was a crown adorned with numerous gemstones.

“So, the Gemstone Crown from the reward of the Smoke Mission was here and not a crown that Sapphire Duke intended to give me as a gift,” Liszt said, holding the Gemstone Crown in his hands, examining it closely. “A very interesting Gemstone Crown, comprised entirely of variously-sized gemstones bound together by some type of golden thread.”

The crown in his hands was a dome-shaped structure, its entire dome inlaid with various gemstones—some as large as quail eggs, some as small as marbles.

Compared to the usual Dragon Gems, these gemstones were relatively smaller, but when Liszt employed the Eye of Magic, he didn’t find their magic power to be thinner than that of larger Dragon Gems.

“Each gemstone is almost like a regular gemstone, with no grade disparity, and it seems this Gemstone Crown does not have any duplicate gemstones?” he recognized them one by one.

The sapphire sequence included—clear sapphire, pale sapphire, light sapphire, sapphire, deep sapphire, royal sapphire, cornflower gem…

The ruby sequence included—bright purple sapphire, dense purple sapphire, purple sapphire, purplish-red sapphire, deep red sapphire, bright red sapphire, dense red sapphire, ruby, pink gemstone, light pink gemstone…

The green gem sequence included—light green gem, pale green gem, golden green gem, emerald, green gem, topaz, golden shine gem…

There were also a dozen or so gemstones between the red, green, and blue categories that Liszt could not place, totaling thirty-six.

“The Gemstone Dragon’s gemstones are divided into red, blue, and green sequences, somewhat similar to the principle of the three primary colors visible to the human eye. To my knowledge, there are only twenty-two known types of Gemstone Dragons, yet this Gemstone Crown astonishingly possesses thirty-six different gemstones, suggesting at least thirty-six types of Gemstone Dragons!”

Even the Dragon Rearing Families didn’t know much information about dragons—they wouldn’t propagate much even if they knew much.

Thus, Liszt’s knowledge about dragons was still limited; he couldn’t possibly know all types of Gemstone Dragons.

“This Gemstone Crown has used thirty-six gemstones. Given the force the Ancient Magicians ruled over the entire Legendary Continent, they might truly have gathered every type of Gemstone Dragon… Could it be that there are exactly thirty-six types of Gemstone Dragons?” he was eager to immediately appraise this crown.

Unfortunately, the Knowledge Ancient Book was with Ach, and he couldn’t be reached at the moment.

So, he could only muse to himself: “Six divine artifacts of the Ancient Magicians—I have already acquired the Eight Dragons God Sword, Knowledge Ancient Book, Time Scepter, and this Gemstone Crown, leaving two more… which two could they be? It seems these artifacts are all related to dragons; could the final two also be related to dragons?”

The Eight Dragons God Sword was forged from the Superior Magic collected from Elemental Dragons.

The Knowledge Ancient Book was rather mystical, and its materials of manufacture are still unknown.

The Time Scepter was crafted using the Time Diamond of the Twilight Dragon and the Tree of Golden Apples.

The Gemstone Crown, on the other hand, was almost entirely made from the gemstones of the Gemstone Dragon.

“Could there be a Divine Artifact made entirely from the metal alloys of all Metal Dragons? And another artifact, could it be made from the materials of the Sacred Dragon?”

“The Immortal Dragon is in the Exiled Lands, the Smoke Dragon seems to be just a cloud of smoke, and the Twilight Dragon has already made its appearance.”

He stroked his chin, making his own guess: “That leaves the Jade Dragon and the Formless Dragon… The ability of Jade Dragon should be its Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit, not easy to craft into equipment. So, it’s likely that the remaining two pieces of equipment are a weapon made from the Metal Dragon and a spatial equipment made from the Formless Dragon Gem!”

…

As he pondered.

He had already placed the Gemstone Crown on his head and was now carefully looking in the mirror.

From the perspective of a modern person, the design of the crown was quite unsophisticated, not at all fashionable. But the sheer number of harmoniously vibrant gemstones studding the dome was enough to evoke wonder and envy—whether it was a single gemstone or even a hundred gemstones, it was insignificant.

The key was the variety of the gemstones, amounting to thirty-six types.

To have such a complete array of gemstone types, the Gemstone Crown alone, by its rarity, was already priceless enough to become a heirloom of the Dragon Rearing Family.

And a priceless heirloom worn on the head, even if it looked like a lump of poop, its nobility was still undeniable.

Moreover, it was a piece of Magic Equipment.

Liszt tried activating the thirty-six gemstones on the Gemstone Crown with his Dou Qi. In an instant, he felt a powerful force forcibly infused into his body. He felt as if he had been reborn, his vitality expanded significantly, and his strength, spirit, and Dou Qi all reached their peaks.

“I feel more powerful than I have ever been!”

“Activating all thirty-six Dragon Gems at once not only broadly enhances me but also provides an unusually abundant power… Ordinary Gemstone Weapons, due to the conflicts of magic power among different gemstones, are difficult to use many at once, but I never expected the Gemstone Crown to harmoniously stimulate the enhancement of all gemstones.”

Feeling the abundant power within him and the overflowing Dragon Dou Qi, his thoughts were clearer than ever.

He briefly reveled in the feeling before flying directly out of Flame Castle, landing in a forest, and wildly unleashing the Dou Qi Manuscript with his Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword. The flame transformations of the Dou Qi moves felled the trees one by one, burning and shattering them, leaving behind trails of charred sword marks on the ground.

“Strong!”

“Truly strong!”

“My current strength is definitely more than three or four times what it was before!”

After completing a set of the Dou Qi Manuscript, he, neither flushed nor out of breath, sheathed the Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword and took off the Gemstone Crown from his head, holding it in his hands.

The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and the rustic style seemed more and more stylish.

“Wearing this crown, my personal strength has skyrocketed, probably catching up to a common Archmage. If worn while riding a dragon, it should at least enhance a Dragon Knight’s strength by thirty percent… Such enhancement should be enough to decide the outcome of a dragon-slaying battle.”

He put the Gemstone Crown back on his head, gazing at the sunset on the horizon.

Amidst the thin wisp of smoke billowing from the scorched trees around, he softly said, “This is the coronation gift offered to me by an Ancient Magician across several eras, spanning thousands of years.”
