The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 855 - 0852: Spiral Positioning (Second Update)
Chapter 855: Chapter 0852: Spiral Positioning (Second Update)
Limestone and cement, Liszt admitted that he didn’t really understand them; he only knew that both were calcined and very common.
But as for what the connection between them was or what their components were, that was not very clear to him.
“However, if I remember correctly, I once watched a documentary about China building the Mombasa-Nairobi Railway in Africa, where it mentioned the problem of cement production. Due to a lack of raw materials, the Chinese experts eventually chose to use local volcanic ash as one of the raw materials for cement?”
When he watched this documentary, Liszt felt very proud. It was a great achievement of his homeland. What he remembered most clearly was that cement could actually be made from volcanic ash.
So.
Thinking of this, he immediately went to inspect the Fire Dragon Brick Factory and provided the craftsmen who were responsible for developing cement with a new direction—asking them to mix limestone with volcanic ash to see if they could produce cement.
...
As for the volcanic ash, Dodo Island had a lot of it, but the 800-kilometer journey was a bit far.
Coral Island also had a weathered extinct volcano. Liszt had once searched for signs of magma there to excavate volcanic ash.
These mundane affairs didn’t require Liszt’s attention; he just needed to provide a general direction.
In the following days, while he teased the elves and inspected his territory, he waited for Ach to set up experiments for the magicians of the Magic Guild and prepare magical materials. Meanwhile, the officials had prepared ten large frame ships filled with supplies and personnel, ready to transport to Flame City.
December 10th.
The departure was set.
“Woo wah, woo wah!” Thorn Greater Elf Jela was very reluctant to see Liszt leave.
“Be good in the castle, and don’t bully the Little Minor Elves. Once I’ve built a new castle and plantation in our new home, I’ll move you there.”
“Remember to come back soon.”
“Mm.”
“Woo wah!”
Jela let go of her hold, watching Liszt depart.
Among all the Greater Elves and Little Minor Elves, she was the one with the most abundant emotions. It wasn’t clear if it was because Liszt’s thinking was so different from the people of this world, or if Jela was inherently unique. Nevertheless, among the many odd elves in Liszt’s company, Jela remained the most special.
The ten large frame ships set sail, not to forget the one that had always been docked below Thorn Castle—that ship’s hold was sealing the hind legs of the Jade Dragon.
Now that Flame City had already been established on Flame Island, he decided to take the Jade Dragon’s hind legs to Flame City and hide them in the cellar of the soon-to-be-completed new castle. Concerning the precious treasures of the Mind Fruit Tree and Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit, it was only safe when kept close to himself.
…
Returning to Flame City, he found the already returned Formless Dragon Bard.

Liszt didn’t stop; he directly rode on Bard to take the Magic Form’s Little Fire Dragon Leo, Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree Greater Elf Annie, along with three following Flame Dragon Birds, all to the Endless Volcano Cluster.
Leo quickly transformed from Magic Form into flesh and blood, then plunged headfirst into the rolling magma of the Doomsday Volcano Crater.
Liszt continued with Annie to look for the right place and finally found a dormant volcano halfway up the mountain. Annie happily planted her cordyceps.
The towering Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree sprouted from the ground and was fitted with bird nests. Little Yellow, Little Red, and Little Purple immediately circled around the Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree, chirping nonstop.
“Annie, I’ll have Leo rest here often, so you can touch him freely.”
“Liszt, you’re so kind.” Annie was sincerely grateful to Liszt; without his help, she couldn’t get close to the dragon she loved the most.
“Take good care of these three little birds for me.”
“Don’t worry, Liszt. Little Yellow, Little Red, and Little Purple listen to me,” Annie confidently said, and this was no bragging.
Back when there were two adult Flame Dragon Birds, they settled and nested securely in the Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree, without ever harming Annie, which demonstrated Annie’s capabilities. Now, the three little birds depended heavily on Annie, and after Leo, they were closest to Annie.
Perhaps it was fate, or maybe it was mutual attraction.
“Take care of yourself, my power hasn’t extended here yet… Although Leo’s Dragon Might envelops the Endless Volcano Cluster, you still need to be careful.”
“Little Yellow, Little Red, and Little Purple will help me fight!”
Though they were but fledgling birds, the three Flame Dragon Birds had already learned the fire system magic carved within their bloodline—Flame Slash. With a flap of their wings, they immediately condensed flames into a blade, the power of which was rather astonishing. Against common low-level magical beasts, they were a piece of cake; even when facing intermediate magical beasts, they were no pushovers.
As for advanced magical beasts, within the range of Leo’s Dragon Might, no advanced magical beast would casually intrude.
So, the safety of Annie was basically not a problem.
…
“Bard, let’s go.”
“Woo ee ya!”
The Formless Dragon flapped its wings, rapidly entering the material boundary; then forcefully tore through the boundary, stepping into the world beyond matter. As the Crystal White Trajectory rotated, Magic Return Positioning was activated, searching for potential natural nodes while flying.
It was at this moment.
Liszt suddenly had a burst of inspiration, “Can the effect of Magic Return Positioning be strengthened?”
The effectiveness of the Dou Qi Secret Technique “The Eye of Magic” had, after fusion with the dragon, resulted in the intricately detailed Dragon Eye Trajectory and the distinctly tiered Crystal White Trajectory. He had just thought of something—he had two Dou Qi Secret Techniques other than “The Eye of Magic”: “Breath Decay” and “Spiral Rotation.”
“Breath Decay” had little use at the Dragon Knight stage and had been abandoned.
“Spiral Rotation,” because it did not significantly aid a Dragon Knight in battle, had not been practiced for a long while.
“Spiral Rotation is a technique of Dou Qi circulation. What if I apply it to Bard’s space magic power, and use the spiral-shaped magic radiation to search, could I then locate the feedback from the material boundary with finer precision?” Upon thinking of this, he immediately practiced Spiral Rotation with Bard.
After all, it was just a trial; even if it failed, he would lose nothing, yet success would yield a great harvest.
Very soon.
Spiral Rotation merged with Magic Return Positioning, and the radiated space magic took on a spiral shape. However, the effect did not seem to be very pronounced. The world outside of matter remained quiet, with no response akin to the feedback from the previous Magic Return Positioning.
“Failed…?”
Just as he was preparing to give up, suddenly, a unique fluctuation signal came from afar. Both man and dragon shook in unison—they had located a natural node!
However, Liszt did not steer Bard closer but signaled Bard to stop the Spiral Rotation, locking onto the node using normal Magic Return Positioning.
In comparison, it immediately became apparent that the unique fluctuation, which was previously detectable, could no longer be felt.
“Bard, try the Spiral Rotation again!”
“Woo ee ya!”
Once the Spiral Rotation was executed, the special fluctuation was sensed once more by the Magic Return Positioning. While faint, the location was very clear.
“Let’s go!”
Liszt was overjoyed, clearly a genius having developed a powerful new skill—calling this upgraded version of Magic Return Positioning the Spiral Positioning. The birth of Spiral Positioning meant that the value of Dou Qi Secret Techniques had returned to his focus.
Initially, when “The Eye of Magic” combined with dragon power to exert potent effects, he had an immense craving for Dou Qi Secret Techniques.
Yet, the dispensable nature of “Breath Decay” and “Spiral Rotation” made him waver—apart from the special “The Eye of Magic,” other Dou Qi Secret Techniques seemed to serve little purpose for a Dragon Knight. Thus, his motivation to search for Dou Qi Secret Techniques gradually slackened.
Now, Spiral Rotation had reignited the great value of Dou Qi Secret Techniques.
“From now on, I need to obtain more Dou Qi Secret Techniques, gradually integrate them with dragons, and perhaps develop new skills!” As he fantasized about Dou Qi Secret Techniques, he was already flying toward that natural node.
