Leo communicated telepathically with Liszt, expressing its desire to eat the egg.

However, Liszt ignored it, since the space was too small for Leo to come out; it was easy to disregard its opinion. He, instead, circled the egg meticulously, examining this magical and incredible egg.

The egg radiated a bright golden light, twinkling steadily like breathing.

Yet the light wasn’t blinding at all; it was exceptionally soft, giving him a warm and comfortable experience, as if enveloped in spring. Below the egg, dry wood emitted blazing flames, although the wood itself did not burn but remained in its original, dried form. The flames were an illusion created by Fire Attribute Mana.

Thus, it appeared as if the egg was being roasted by the fire, but despite the lengthy roasting, it wasn’t cooked yet.

“Such intense Fire Attribute Mana, and the egg itself is also of Fire Attribute Superior Magic; its extraordinariness is evident. In this world, aside from Fire Dragons, the only thing that could possess such exceptional Fire Attribute Superior Magic is the legendary Phoenix,” thought Liszt, his eyes gleaming, his mind whirring.

After the fall of the Moon Empire, knights ruled the world, and many civilizations created by past magicians had been lost, causing today’s people to mistake Flame Dragon Birds for Phoenixes.

However, the relationship between unicorns and Storm Dragon Horses made Liszt realize that the real Phoenix was probably an existence far beyond Flame Dragon Birds. Yet, he wasn’t sure if phoenixes truly existed until now, seeing this egg-shaped magical giant egg—he recognized that he might have really discovered a Phoenix Egg.

“I need to take it with me!”

“No!”

“The phoenix chose this place to nest for a reason, likely this very volcano is crucial for the egg’s hatching!”

If the phoenix was real, then it would definitely be on the same level as unicorns, as mystical and incredible as dragons, and its hatching conditions naturally stringent. According to legends, a phoenix could resurrect from its ashes and rekindle its life; perhaps this location was the rebirth site the phoenix had chosen for itself.

“Oh ho!” Leo clamored to eat.

“Stay calm, Leo, this egg cannot be eaten, understand? It’s a Phoenix Egg! Phoenix, a creature as mystical as you!”

“Oh ho!” Whether it’s a phoenix or a turkey, Leo just wanted to eat the egg.

But how could Liszt allow a future phoenix to be eaten by Leo as food, when he couldn’t even bear to let Leo eat a Flame Dragon Bird.

Ignoring Leo’s roar.

He kept observing, etching into his memory all features of the Phoenix Egg and the fiery nest. He also chipped away a shiny red stone from the wall and stuffed it into his Space Ring as a sample for future analysis.

“I can’t hold my breath any longer; the limit is nearly reached, I must leave soon.” There was no breathable air inside the cave, and Liszt had been observing for an hour and a half, unable to hold his breath any longer.

Yet, he felt a bit reluctant.

“Let me touch the Phoenix Egg one last time before I go!”

Thinking this.

He reached out slowly, touching the soccer ball-sized, golden, mysterious stone-like egg. When his fingertips met the egg, instead of the scalding or burning he had imagined, he unexpectedly felt an emotion similar to a newborn chick’s desire for freedom.

It was an exhilarating and uplifting sensation.

As if an eagle should soar above the ninth heaven, and a whale should roam the vast ocean.

It was a Phoenix, meant to live unbridled in the world, its life and death as intense as a blazing fire.

“Phoenix, we are destined,” Liszt instantly responded with his emotions, connecting his fingertips with the life within the egg for a special exchange, “You desire an intense life, follow me then. My life, like my last name, Fire, is the burning flame destined to sweep across the world.”

It was unclear if the life inside the egg understood, but no new emotions could be felt.

There was only a vague concept, the egg needed an intense volcanic eruption to hatch. Perhaps the Phoenix chose to be reborn here in anticipation of a staggering eruption from the Doomsday Volcano Crater in the future to be reborn from the flames.

Unfortunately, due to Leo’s actions of constantly drawing Volcanic Super Magic, the Doomsday Volcano Crater was nearly dormant.

“Don’t worry, I will help you hatch!” declaring his promise, Liszt no longer hesitated, quickly left the cave, and returned to the magma through the passage.

Leo transformed into a flaming wrap, quickly bringing him back to the outer side of the volcano crater.

Breathing fresh air, Liszt sat on a scorching rock, recovering his strength, while also summoning the Smoke Mission.

“Complete the mission, reward: Phoenix Egg.”

“It really is a Phoenix Egg.” He showed a knowing smile, after obtaining Unicorn Charlie from Ach, he was about to acquire another legendary creature—Phoenix.

Suddenly, a new mission was issued, “Mission: A five-hundred-year cycle, await the opportunity to be reborn, such is the undying Phoenix, noble and indescribable in nature, a mysterious power beyond words. Since you have the destiny to witness the Phoenix awaiting rebirth, naturally, you must assist it. Please hatch the Phoenix Egg. Reward: A Phoenix.”

Liszt would help the Phoenix hatch even without the prompt from the Smoke Mission.

Now, what Liszt needed to do was to persuade Leo to initiate a volcanic eruption to meet the hatching requirements of the Phoenix Egg, but currently Leo, feeling disgruntled for being stopped from consuming the Phoenix Egg, was not likely to spend Super Magic to induce an eruption.

“Then wait for now.”

“The Pioneer Mandate is soon upon us, and I need to take the Dragons to the Eagle Kingdom to counter their Dragon Knights. I likely won’t have time to tend to a newly hatched Phoenix… After the Pioneer Mandate is over, I will come to hatch the Phoenix Egg.”

The Phoenix Egg was not yet suitable for hatching, but that didn’t stop him from studying the blood-red stones in the Phoenix nest.

These stones, rich in Fire Attribute Mana, were rough on surface and impure, neither crystal clear like gemstones and crystals, nor as smooth and delicate as jade.

“The Magic Power is a bit difficult to extract and activate, and it feels troublesome to study. Forget it, just send it to the Magic Guild for research.”

His time was too precious to spend on research.

Back in Phoenix Perch Parasol Forest.

Greater Elf Annie had done an excellent job, already blending in well with five new Flame Dragon Birds and had them constrain the short-tempered Red Sparrow Birds.

“Liszt, the Red Sparrow Birds won’t dare attack humans again or else Annie will have the Flame Dragon Birds pluck their feathers!”

“Well done!” Liszt did not hesitate to praise.

Paris then smiled and said, “With Annie managing the birds here, the safety of the Knights and Serfs is assured. There is no longer any need for my intervention, Your Highness. Please transfer me back to Reed City to contribute to its construction.”

“You are now a Great Light Magic Swordsman, your strength belonging to the top tier of knights. Leading the Knight Order is what you are meant to do. However, don’t get involved in estate construction for now. I am arranging the Knight Order to march to the Eagle Kingdom, you join the expedition as well, achieve more military merits and advance in nobility quickly.”

“As you wish, Your Highness.” Paris was not interested in advancement in nobility, but that did not prevent her from following Liszt’s will, heading towards the battlefield to charge.
