The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 857 - 0854: Group of Dragon Beasts (Second Update)
Chapter 857: Chapter 0854: Group of Dragon Beasts (Second Update)
Volcano Crater natural node, the sea’s natural node, Jade Mountain natural node — on the return journey, Liszt discovered three natural nodes, among which the nodes at Volcano Crater and Jade Mountain were developable.
When the Formless Dragon saw the Great Whirlpool Magic Teleportation Matrix, it immediately opened a passage back to the Whirlpool Cave Entrance, then returned to Flame City.
It reported the discovery of the three natural nodes to Ach.
However, Ach was still summarizing information about the Magic Door Project and had not yet devised a development plan. Additionally, she needed time to master the Space Elemental Incarnation; once she perfectly mastered it, the development of the Magic Door would greatly benefit — she would be able to shuttle through space at will along with Liszt and the Formless Dragon.
By that time, the setup of the Magic Door by Ach herself would be much easier.
“Brother, the more natural nodes we control, the better, as only then can we select the most suitable natural nodes to establish a Magic Gate and complete the Teleportation Magic Array.”
...
“Understood, I’ll handle this!”
Just as Liszt was gearing up to explore worlds beyond the physical, the Smoke Mission brought good news.
“Mission completed, reward: cement.”
Clearly, Liszt’s volcanic ash idea had helped the craftsmen at Fire Dragon Brick Factory successfully develop cement. With the cement development a success, a boom in the construction industry was imminent. Most importantly, Flame Island had the Endless Volcano Cluster, where the volcanic ash was virtually inexhaustible.
For future construction on the islands, cement would not be lacking.
“It’s a cause for celebration, but Black Horse Island will probably not need cement as I no longer plan to continue developing in the Flame Territory. I will maintain the current industry structure and focus all efforts on developing Flame Island,” Liszt thought clearly and planned to send instructions through the Magic Platform.
He prepared for the Fire Dragon Brick Factory to be ready to relocate; the next time he returned to Black Horse Island, he would move all craftsmen of the Fire Dragon Brick Factory to Flame Island.
He also planned to move the entire Magic Guild there, then stationed magicians at the Fire Dragon Brick Factory to continue developing new types of cement — volcanic ash could be used as a material for cement, and other kinds of ash might also be suitable.
However, when he saw the new Smoke Mission, he suddenly felt that his idea might be superfluous.
“Mission: The transport between Black Horse Island and Flame Island is the biggest obstacle to developing the Flame Archipelago. However, with the preparations for the Magic Gate, you have another option beyond the great sailing. Why not find the natural node around Black Horse Island in anticipation of building the Magic Gate. Reward: Intermediate Dragon Beast Group.”
This was in preparation for setting up a Magic Gate between Black Horse Island and Flame Island; once the Magic Gate was established, wouldn’t Flame Island and Black Horse Island be connected.
“If the Magic Gate is really constructed, using Black Horse Island as a base could completely bring the Sapphire Family into my followers, making the Duchy of Sapphire a vassal state of the Flame Kingdom!”
He stroked his chin.
He temporarily suppressed this idea and looked at the reward for the mission: “They’re awarding an Intermediate Dragon Beast Group, not just one but a group; this is going to make a fortune!”
So far, he had encountered many creatures of the dragon lineage.
Dragon Breed Beasts included Blue Blood Treasure Horse, Black Blood Treasured Horse, Half-Slope Dairy Cow, and Estuary Pig.

Low-Level Dragon Beasts included Rainbow Whale Rose and Landwalker Bird Loki, where Loki had evolved into an Intermediate Dragon Beast due to the Bloodline Fruit.
He had not seen natural Intermediate Dragon Beasts.
Nor had he seen any Advanced Dragon Beasts. However, he heard that in the Pegasus Great Forest within the Steel Ridge Kingdom, the Pegasus were Advanced Dragon Beasts, and even a Super Dragon Beast – Unicorn was said to have been born. Liszt had always intended to find a Unicorn and witness this magical creature that, as the legend goes, could only be seen by a pure virgin.
Super Dragon Beasts included Flame Dragon Bird and Lightning Dragon Turtle.
“I wonder what breed of Intermediate Dragon Beasts we’ll run into this time; I hope it’s a breed suitable for riding in combat so that I can establish the Dragon Beast Knight Order to contribute to the Burning Knights Group.”
…
For several days, Liszt had been searching for new natural nodes and indeed, his efforts bore considerable fruit—he found three new nodes.
However, two of them were in the middle of the ocean, and he dared not venture out, fearing he might drown.
The other was situated above the sea, around which he used a sextant for positioning and discovered the node was located between the Flame Islands and Whirlpool Archipelago, surrounded by the vast ocean with very low developmental value. If the natural node had been near the shore, with Ach’s incredible water control abilities, perhaps another great whirlpool could be established.
Alas, amidst the vast ocean, the risks were too great.
Time slowly passed, and Liszt did not discover any new natural nodes. The holidays were also approaching day by day.
Another day of fruitless search passed until he reached the Great Whirlpool Magic Teleportation Matrix; he rode the Formless Dragon Bard through the portal and returned to Flame City.
He then received good news. A squad from the Pioneer Knights had found a damaged statue worshipped within a large Moon Slayer tribe. Given that the tribe consisted of thirty thousand people, the Knight Squad opted to employ the corruption of an ancient mage to hire native Moon Slayers to work out of the forest.
Without haste to act, the statue remained within the large tribe known as “Xia.”
“Where is Xia Tribe located?” Liszt inquired.
“Here,” responded the Captain of the Knight Squad, pointing to a location on the map of Flame Island within the Whirlpool Great River Basin, though it was a tributary of another stream.
The map’s location records were clear, a testament to the efforts of the knights and magicians. Not only responsible for pioneering, but every destination explored had magicians accompanying to measure and record the terrain. By now, the entire terrain of Flame Island had been charted especially around the Whirlpool Great River Basin.
The next step for the Pioneer Knights was ready to advance toward the Broad Bao Forest south of Whirlpool Mountain.
“You lead the way. Select a magician skilled in Moon Language to accompany me; we are heading to Xia Tribe!” Liszt instructed crisply and clearly.
Since the Formless Dragon had essentially been exposed, as the knights and magician settled in the prepared baskets, Liszt directly maneuvered Bard, lifting the baskets, and flew toward Xia Tribe. He and the Formless Dragon remained invisible at the edge of physical matter, with only the baskets visible.
It appeared as if the baskets were flying through the air on their own, creating quite the peculiar scene.
Yet sitting in the basket, Earth Knight Dennis and Magician Harold possessed not a shred of embarrassment over this oddity, only an uncontrollable excitement.
“It’s a Dragon!”
“An invisible Dragon!”
“His Highness is invisible too; it’s unbelievable!”
Dennis dreamed internally, “His Highness truly has a second dragon; how great a Dragon Knight have I followed! Once the nation is established, I will surely become a noble of high standing!”
Harold aspired, “Terrifying Prince Dragon Knight, and Her Excellency Archmage… I wonder if I can ever become a member of the Royal Magicians?”
Not all magicians are indifferent to fame and devout to the Truth; many are drawn to worldly power, thus ending up serving among the nobles, and even taking positions within the Court, serving the noble class.
In an instant.
The valley home to Xia Tribe had arrived.
