Chapter 1011: Chapter 1008: Reminder of Fate

Facing the threat from Liszt, Marquis Pilof of Boulder, Pilaf the Earth Frenzy, ultimately backed down. He couldn’t guarantee that Liszt wouldn’t utterly annihilate the Earth Fury Family in an instant.

With Liszt’s formidable military achievements, even the Eagle Royal Family felt helpless, let alone his mere Ancient Warrior Family.

To dare question Liszt’s arrangements and make sneaky moves would likely result in the loss of heritage among the Ancient Warriors cloaked in bear skins the very next day.

Rules, as a Noble, one must follow rules, especially those set by the Dragon Rearing Family.

“Your Majesty, the Earth Fury Family is willing to offer five Greater Elves in exchange for a second chance at the Mind Battle, and thereafter we will follow this sequence to strategize,”

“A wise choice, that simplifies matters. Now, let everyone hand over the Greater Elves, and then we can formulate a plan to conquer the Aluminum Dragon. Even though this is a juvenile Aluminum Dragon, it’s not something that can be easily achieved.” Liszt clapped his hands and decided on a cooperative plan among the three Dragon Riding families.

Soon after, the Earth Fury Family released Florenza Chase Wind Arrows, and Florenza shared the secrets of conquering the Aluminum Dragon.

“The uninhabited wilderness south of Firm Earth is where the Aluminum Dragon roams. I once honed my Dou Qi in that wilderness and accidentally discovered this young Aluminum Dragon. According to my estimation, the Aluminum Dragon is about fifty years old and not very hostile towards humans, so I deliberately approached it.”

Firm Earth is the fiefdom of Marquis Pilof of Boulder, and the uninhabited wilderness to the south is where the Aluminum Dragon moves about.

“Have you figured out the preferences of the Aluminum Dragon in your efforts to conquer it?” Liszt inquired, knowing the preferences of a dragon could ease the conquest.

Florenza, though young, was already a seasoned Sword Saint and on the verge of becoming a Completion Level Sky Knight.

His time conquering the Aluminum Dragon would not be too long, as he was already close to the Mind Battle, clearly having figured out the Aluminum Dragon’s preferences.

After looking at Liszt, Pilof, and Piero, Florenza hesitated for a moment and sighed, “The Aluminum Dragon’s preference is for the metal silver. With enough silver coins, one can please the Aluminum Dragon. I’ve already built a nest for it deep in the wilderness out of silver coins, so it no longer resists letting me ride on its back.”

A metal-loving Aluminum Dragon that oddly favors another metal, silver.

If one were to bring the Silver Dragon from the Eagle Royal Family, who knows if the Aluminum Dragon would just fall under their spell, truly a bizarre occurrence.

…

“Complete the task, reward Aluminum Dragon clues.”

After discussing the specifics of the Mind Battle, Liszt finally took the time to review the completed Smoke Mission and pondered new tasks.

“Task: Interests can easily blind people; sometimes, one must not only observe the surface but also look beyond it to see the hidden conspiracies. A juvenile Aluminum Dragon active in the wilderness—who can ensure that it is an isolated entity and not a tool being used? Please be cautious in the first two Mind Battles. Reward: Unknown.”

After reading the new task description, Liszt furrowed his brow. Clearly, a task with an unknown reward is a warning from the Power of Destiny.

“Conspiracy… It seems that this appearance of the Aluminum Dragon is not a mere pleasant surprise but a schemed plot. But which faction could be plotting from the shadows? The Eagle Kingdom or… the Kushan Imperial?” The conspiracy occurring in the Eagle Kingdom also involves a dragon.

Evidently, one can’t exclude the Eagle Royal Family.

But judging from the waning situation of the Eagle Kingdom as Liszt saw it, the Eagle Royal Family is unlikely to initiate another powerful dragon-slaying war.

It’s not a lack of strength, but rather, should they fail, the risk could lead to the downfall of the Eagle Kingdom.

Despite not perishing, it was at least torn asunder in four or five places.

Thus, he quickly thought of the Shadow Incarnations he had discovered based on the Smoke Mission. Four Shadow Incarnations were still imprisoned in the dungeons of Flame Island. Behind these Shadow Incarnations was the malice from the Kushan Imperial.

It appeared that one of the Shadow Incarnations had already left, likely to convey information back to the Kushan Imperial.

Perhaps Emperor Jupiter had already passed on new instructions, and it was very likely that he was plotting this conspiracy.

“The Smoke Mission made me cautious about the first two Mind Battles, which means, the conspiracy is likely to be launched during these two Mind Battles.”

He slowly pondered.

He wasn’t overly anxious, as the malice from the Kushan Imperial was anticipated, and now with the reminder of the Smoke Mission, he could completely avoid or even use their own plans against them.

“The Blood Servants have already cultivated quite a few new seeds. and infiltrated expertly near the three major kingdoms and dependent territories. It’s easy to pinpoint the movements of those dragons and Dragon Knights. Hence, the peril I’m facing must involve tactics similar to those Marquis of Bull once used in the assassination attempt on the Sapphire Dragon.”

So, he asked Ach, “Ach, if someone were to plot against me using the Aluminum Dragon, what tactics would they use?”

Ach tilted his head and asked in return, “What is brother’s most powerful tactic?”

“Of course, it’s the space teleportation in coordination with Bard… Do you mean, if they target me, they would tamper with space?”

“Bard is not yet of age, his spatial abilities have not fully developed. It’s entirely possible to use the magic power to seal the space, making it impossible for Bard to freely teleport beyond physical realms, and even unable to enter the physical boundaries. At that time, brother and Bard would be forced to confront the enemy.”

This was indeed likely and was also the best method to target Liszt. Once they launch a conspiracy where he is strongest, it is almost certain they could truly kill him.

Concerning his own safety, he couldn’t help but pay utmost attention, “Then, is there any way to break the seal?”

“Just purify the magic lock.”

“How to purify?”

“This requires coordination from Bard, and also Charley’s help; and starting now, Ach will start making Magic Equipment. When someone locks the space, immediately perform a purification spell to unlock the space again.”

“Alright, then start making it quickly. Also, don’t just make it capable of a single purification. It’s better to purify several times.” Liszt never fought unprepared. With Magic Equipment to purify the magic lock, he had to prepare three or four times the amount to feel secure intervening in the disputes over the Aluminum Dragon.

Thus.

Florenza Chase Wind Arrow began his final preparations to strategize over the Aluminum Dragon, supported by Duke Pierrot. Pilaf closely watched, ensuring Duke Pierrot did not betray the agreement between the three parties this time; while Liszt returned to the Flame Kingdom earlier with the Greater Elves donated by the Grey Iron Family and the Earth Fury Family.

Duke Pierrot contributed seven Greater Elves. For the Grey Iron Family, such a number of Greater Elves was enough to greatly weaken them — but for the chance to ride dragons, they had to pay.

Pilaf contributed five Greater Elves. For the Earth Fury Family, it was an act akin to self-harm.

In fact, both families could have negotiated amicably, each having a turn at dragon riding, entirely avoiding the involvement of Liszt — of course, without Liszt stepping in, they might not have been able to sit down and negotiate peacefully.

Moreover, this time, it might just be that those plotting the conspiracy were motivating from behind, using Greater Elves as bait to attract Liszt.

“Anyway, as the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. I, Liszt, am destined to be the oriole!” Holding a large pile of reluctant Greater Elves, Liszt rode the dragon gallantly, soaring among the blue sky and white clouds.
