The Defeated Dragon

Dog training was finished.

It was completely dark and the castle was already preparing for dinner.

Liszt went upstairs to talk to the siren A Qi, which has become his daily habit. Talking with the innocent A Qi was like a relaxation session to his soul.

“Liszt, look!  I copied Fredo’s Fireball Technique, and I can rub water arrows with the back of my hand.” The siren said happily.

Liszt saw a water arrow condense on the back of her hand then she pushed it away gently. The water arrow flew out of the window like a sharp arrow.

Learning magic is like getting a new toy for A Qi and she was obviously having fun.  “Look, I can rub water arrows with the back of my right hand and my left hand as well. Hee hee, I plan to rub water arrows with my knee next. What do you think of this idea?”

In addition to being surprised, Liszt did not know how to express his answer.

Mages can rub fireballs from various parts of their bodies, which is not very difficult. However, the magic apprentice Fredo Truth rubbing the fireball with the back of his hand was still technically difficult.

After all, a magic apprentice cannot compare with an actual mage, as he would be too weak in terms of mental control.

Siren A Qi did just rub water arrows on the back of  both hands, which means she will be finished learning the technique in a few days. Her control of magic is stunning: “A Qi, what made you think of rubbing water arrows with your knees?”

“Those predecessors who wrote magic books said that the most important thing for mages is imagination and creativity. A Qi found that no one cast spells with their knees. If A Qi is successful, she can also write a book, well, it’s called “The Water Archery of Archimedes Truth”. Hee Hee. “

A Wizard’s legacy is more subtle, with the exception of simple basic magic, which has special books to introduce the topic and has now more reference on how to explore new ways of doing things.

There was, however, no book inheritance for advanced magic.

Like a knight’s combat skills and a Sky Knight’s training secrets, it’s hard to find anything documenting such a process. The Tulip family has worked hard for many years, and has not even attained their own secret skills. If it were not for the guidance of the smoke missions, Liszt would not have practiced “Magic Eye” at all.

“It seems that I need to have a good chat with Elkson.” In Liszt’s view, Elkson is a mage who attaches great importance to enjoyment. The possibility of receiving inherited magical books from him is relatively high, as long as Liszt  is willing to spend money.

For A Qi’s path to being a water mage, Liszt gritted his teeth and was willing to bear the cost.

After all, A Qi’s great strength means that the safety of navigation will be better guaranteed. 

Think about it, if there are water mages accompanying you, you will not be afraid of any sea monsters. Even if A Qi didn’t have the talent to be promoted to a mage, and later on be promoted to a great mage, she has still got a powerful combat force.

Hearing Liszt’s words.

A Qi nodded happily. “Thank you Liszt.”

“A Qi, you might as well call me brother.” Within three seconds, Liszt decided to tie the knot with the future water mage using affection.

A Qi cocked her head and looked like she was thinking seriously. “But… A Qi is 41 years old, Liszt, you are only 17 years old.”

“You are a siren, I am a human, our age can’t be compared that way. I am already an adult human being, and you are still an underage siren, of course you should call me brother. “

“Oh, okay, brother.”

“A Qi is very good. Come here. Brother will give you a black pearl. You can use it to study magic runes and magic circles recorded in magic books.” Liszt took out a fist-sized black pearl and handed it to A Qi, the siren.

A total of sixteen black pearls were harvested from the clam shells.

A black pearl the size of a washbasin, was still lying quietly in the gem space, waiting for the right time to make the Calm Pearl.

Two basketball-sized black pearls, one has been made into the Calm Pearl and the other waiting for the same fate.

Three bowl-sized black pearls were not used.

Ten fist-sized black pearls were sold to Levis, one to Marquis Merlin, one to Granny Truth, and another to A Qi, leaving only five.

Holding the black pearls.

A Qi smiled brightly: “Wow, what a beautiful black pearl!  I can feel a lot of water magic…Hand in hand like a gentle baby, it is like … like a natural magic circle. Thank you, brother. I will study black pearls and learn magic runes and magic circles! “

“Study hard!  I still have a few black pearls left. You will then help me make magic equipment by then.”

“Well, A Qi will work hard!” The siren held her little fist and made a look of excitement. From being the originally cautious siren when they first met, she is now lively and lovely.

Liszt couldn’t help but reach out and mess up that blue hair.

He sincerely hopes that A Qi can learn something as soon as possible, and then she would  help make the Calm Pearl.

After all, water does not freely flow to other people’s fields. He had to ask Granny Truth to make the Calm Pearl. These would require materials that are sky-high expensive. The last Calm Pearl cost him a fist-sized, big black pearl.

Liszt then poked Ella who wouldn’t  get up in the shell.

Liszt left the room.

The castle dinner began.

In snow-covered Flower Town, there were no lights in the dark so the work had to be completed early. Only the brewery was still working overnight.

“Master Baron, I heard that Russell and Griffin have been loyal to you and already have task arrangements?” Randy  Kettle suddenly asked before the banquet began.

“Yes.”

“Randy hopes to follow the Lord Baron!”

“I accept your pledge.” Liszt was not surprised at Randy’s request and immediate confession. Then came the etiquette of knight loyalty. After accepting it, the relationship of follower and lord between them was formally established.

This means that Randy’s fate is in Liszt’s hands, and Liszt should impart more glory to him.

With Randy taking the lead.

Rick Footprint, Nemo and others have also announced to follow Liszt. Among the officials of Flower Town, Isaiah, the only one who has not pledged allegiance to Liszt, also took the opportunity to follow him. The Flower Town in front of them is no longer a remote rural town, and the Liszt in front of them was no longer the second son of the Count who was weak at the beginning.

Flower Town will surely follow Liszt’s rise. Everyone knows that anyone who would not follow him at this time, as more talents would be gathered in the future, and one would only  follow later, there will be no more advantages.

After all, veteran followers are more valued than new followers.

Seeing young people following the etiquette of knights one after another, Zambrotta, who was already quite old, hesitated. He came to Flower Town to see the potential of Liszt, hoping to use Liszt’s rise to regain his nobility. But such a hasty follow-up was not what he had hoped for.

As a former knight, he had glorious moments and remembered the difference between himself and the civilians.

Even if he was deprived of his title and demoted to that of a civilian, he still retains his pride. Coupled with his talent of learning and memorizing, he still regarded himself in a high place and was not willing to lower his status easily.

However.

At this moment, the scene has no room for him to continue being prideful. If he does not follow today, Liszt will certainly remember it in his mind, “Since I will follow him eventually sooner or later, I’ll just make it quick. Liszt will restore my place by a Count’s side and become the new bigger noble. I cannot afford to lose this opportunity! “

Thinking about it, he immediately knelt on one knee. “Zambrotta wants to be loyal to Lord Baron!”
