The Mighty Dragons Are Dead

Chapter 733: Chapter 0730: Luxury Cruise (First Update)

The Alsophila spinulosa that could grow into crystals were undoubtedly a very strange mutation, but it was hard to say whether this mutation was good or bad. The reason was simple: it mutated by relying on the magic power leaked by the Light Green Gemstone Dragon, which meant that the magic power that should have formed crystal mines underground directly grew out in the form of Alsophila spinulosa.

Both being crystals, it wasn’t necessarily clear which one was of higher quality, so you could say that the Crystal Alsophila spinulosa was completely superfluous.

“We still need experiments. Right now, collect a batch of Alsophila spinulosa seeds and wait until they are transplanted to my territory to see if we can grow Crystal Alsophila spinulosa… If it can grow crystals without relying on a dragon’s magic power, then the Crystal Alsophila spinulosa will be valuable. If it can’t grow without a dragon, then it’s worthless,”

Liszt said as he collected seeds.

Ach nodded and replied, “Brother, the place where dragons reside probably emits magic power every day. The generation of mineral veins takes too long, perhaps the Crystal Alsophila spinulosa can quickly transform the dragon’s magic power into crystals.”

“That’s a good point. When I start building the Dragon Nest in the future, I’ll plant plenty of Crystal Alsophila spinulosa.”

Using a small knife, Liszt scraped gently along the back of the crystal leaves. The mature seeds of the Crystal Alsophila spinulosa easily fell off and were stored in a sealed leather pouch. Once inside the Space Ring, they could be preserved for a long time. After collecting seeds for a while and ensuring he had enough, Liszt stopped.

For the moment, he didn’t touch the partially crystallized Crystal Alsophila spinulosa.

Instead, he called out to Little Fire Dragon Leo, “Leo, grab the Light Green Gemstone Dragon’s tail and hoist it up and throw it into the sea.”

“Oh-ho!”

Leo was very excited and immediately dove down, accurately grabbing the Light Green Gemstone Dragon’s thick tail with his hind claws. Then he flapped his wings and began to lift the slumbering body of the Light Green Gemstone Dragon little by little. He struggled quite a bit during the process but was spirited.

Leo might have weighed less than a hundred tons, but the Light Green Gemstone Dragon weighed several hundred tons, so the effort was normal.

But after hoisting up the Light Green Gemstone Dragon, Leo suddenly let out a resounding “oh-ho” dragon cry, then twisted his body and, like throwing a discus, hurled the Light Green Gemstone Dragon towards the vast sea.

“Oh-ho!”

“Oh-ho!”

Being able to toy with another dragon like this, Leo’s mood swelled with each wave, more excited than the last. If he put in a little more effort, he might be able to directly release his bloodline contagion power and could infect dragon-kind—a perhaps this could be a good method to stimulate Leo’s ability to infect dragon-kind in the future.

The Light Green Gemstone Dragon thrown towards the sea did not sink into the depths, as Ach controlled countless water tornadoes that caught the huge body mid-flight.

Liszt soared into the sky, then gently landed on the back of the Light Green Gemstone Dragon.

Ach followed and leapt onto the dragon’s back as well.

“Let’s go, to Dodo Island. We’ll settle the Light Green Gemstone Dragon there,” Liszt signaled, then called out to Leo, still circling in the sky, “Come back!”

“Oh-ho!”

Leo crashed headfirst into Liszt’s chest.

With Ach controlling the water, even carrying a dragon didn’t slow them down or seem too difficult. The sea was Ach’s home field, and as an Archmage Sea Serpent, he possessed unfathomable abilities.

“Ach, since you have such capabilities, I think when we go out in the future, we should bring a large ship. You could stand at the bow and control the ship’s travel. The vessel wouldn’t need sails or sailors, just servants to clean, organize food, and manage the supplies,”

This was the idea for a luxury cruise ship.

With Ach’s protection, it wasn’t only that storms couldn’t destroy the vessel, but even facing Sub-dragon Sea Monsters wouldn’t necessarily bring any trouble.

The concept of the oil tanker quickly caught Ach’s attention, “Brother, can we build a magic laboratory on the ship and then pair it with a few magic apprentices to manage it?” She was still obsessed with the study of magic and the Truth, addicted to experimenting beyond help.

“Of course, you can.”

“Heehee, then Ach’s research will be much more convenient in the future.”

“Don’t always think about doing research, though. You’re still young, and I’m still young, too. We have plenty of time to share, and enjoying life is the real deal.” Liszt advised Ach while summoning the Smoke Mission to continue reviewing the new tasks he had just released.

“Mission: The splendid dragon-slaying battle and the hard choices of the Mind Fruit Tree have drained you of too much energy. Your body may remain robust, but your spirit is already fatigued. Why not relax and fully enjoy the cheers that an eighteen-year-old Dragon Knight should receive? Reward: An Elf Bug.”

“Hmm.”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a familiar reward. An Elf Bug… As my strength has increased, the rewards from the Smoke Mission have become more and more generous, shifting from elves to dragons. I never expected a huge turnaround today, returning to the Elf Bug.”

He vaguely felt that aside from being related to the surrounding environment, the reward content of the Smoke Mission was more linked to the Power of Destiny.

As he progressed, the Power of Destiny seemed to be growing stronger, with more and more intense Threads of Destiny to leverage, resulting in the Fire Dragon and Light Green Gemstone Dragon falling under its calculation. Even the occasional Elf Bug rewards began to increase in number, rather than just a single one.

“Could it be that when I erased the Mind Branding of the First Dragon Knight, I overly depleted that wisp of smoke, causing a weakening of the Power of Destiny?”

At that time, the Dragon Tooth Divine Weapon, formed from the smoke, showed signs of crumbling while relentlessly slaying the Mind Branding.

“So, it’s not my spirit that’s fatigued, but the Power of Destiny itself is in a state of decline?” Liszt suddenly became nervous.

The Smoke Mission was his biggest reliance; it could be said that the Earth overtime male, who was originally rather mediocre in intellect, talent, and courage, became a prodigy of the Different World thanks to the Smoke Mission. Without the Smoke Mission, he might have still been just a Baron calmly developing Fresh Flower Town.

It was the Smoke Mission that allowed him to rise step by step and become the new overlord of the Azure Sea.

“It seems that in the next Mind Battle, I must use the Power of Destiny cautiously. Considering how hard it was for the Smoke Mission to evolve to the point where it could trick dragons, I can’t afford to fall back to the level of tricking Elf Bugs.” Liszt made a determined decision, but without dwelling on it too much.

A man can change a lot in three days; now he is a Dragon Knight, a mighty one at the pinnacle of power.

Without the Smoke Mission, he could still roam freely over the Legendary Continent.

…

Liszt didn’t return for the night. Bull Hoof City remained bustling as ever, and although the battle had concluded, the fleets of Nobles who were still unaware of the news kept converging on Bull Hoof City.

Seeing the Sapphire Dragon sleeping soundly near Bull Hoof City, all the arriving Nobles and Knights heard about the dragon-slaying battle, akin to a legend, that took place among the four Dragon Knights and one Archmage. The fact that a genius Knight from the Tulip Family became a Dragon Knight overnight, and he also has an Archmage sister, was like something out of a storybook.

“Liszt… Prince Liszt actually killed a Dragon Knight of the Eagle Kingdom?”

“Glorious! It’s a pity I couldn’t witness it with my own eyes!”

“Are you pulling my leg? A dragon-slaying battle with five peak warriors?”

“Incredible!”

Nobody was willing to believe such an epic dragon-slaying battle had occurred; however, the adamant accounts from the Knights stationed at Iron Hoof City compelled the new arrivals to accept its veracity. A legendary rise had indeed happened here—the Sapphire Family might still rule the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, but a new order of the sea was about to arrive.
