Chapter 961: Chapter 0958: Blow it Right
The following morning, after completing his morning practice, Liszt convened another high-level noble meeting.
Attendees not only included the veteran knights from the Flame Territory, but also noble knights recently captured from the Eagle Kingdom, as well as two magicians.
Once the knights and magicians were all seated at the conference table,
Butler Carter, accompanied by several servants, brought in long-spouted iron teapots and poured a cup of fragrant milk for each knight and magician present.
Liszt elegantly picked up his cup and took a sip, saying, “This milk tea is quite unique. Dimaria, since you have just arrived, you may not be aware that this is milk from the Dragon Breed Cows—Banpo Cattle. Consuming it regularly has great benefits for training… the ranch is currently expanding its scale so that all knights of the kingdom, especially the young knights, will have access to Banpo Cattle milk.”
Dimaria picked up the cup, savored a deep sip, and couldn’t help but praise, “Indeed, it is worthy of being milk from breed cows. The effects are yet to be felt, but the flavor is rich and aromatic, better than all other varieties of milk I have tried!”
“Truly delicious.”
“The texture is silky smooth, and it’s so mellow going down the throat. If we could drink Banpo Cattle milk every day, it would be more than enough.”
“A touch of the glory of Your Highness; never thought I’d get to drink milk from the Dragon Breed Cows.” The newly arrived nobles all praised, whether they liked it or not, it was right to do so.
And in fact, Banpo Cattle milk was indeed worth the praise.
Among dragon-related creatures, Dragon Breed Beasts are the lowest level but also the rarest. According to the research conducted by Liszt and Ach, the conditions for a creature to become infected with dragon lineage are quite strict; it must be a young dragon that can infect beasts without the bloodline infection power bursting the beast.
There is virtually no possibility of adult dragons infecting Dragon Breed Beasts, for the bloodline infection power is very fierce and no creature other than a magical beast could withstand it.
Therefore, Dragon Breed Beasts have always been rare.
The Sapphire Family has been nurturing Sapphire Dragons for a couple of hundred years, and they only have a group of Blue Blood Treasure Horses, which have yet to be confirmed as being infected by Sapphire Dragons. The royal families of the three major kingdoms all have Dragon Beasts in captivity, which are those infected by adult dragons. Young dragons and Dragon Breed Beasts have rarely been heard of.
Liszt had control over three types of Dragon Breed Beasts—the Black Blood Treasured Horse, Banpo Cattle, and Estuary Pig.
He also has two young dragons, Fire Dragon Leo and Formless Dragon Bard. In the future, he intended to continue to explore their bloodline infection power and infect more Dragon Breed Beasts.
After finishing the milk tea,
The meeting moved on to the central topic.
Liszt disliked drawn-out wrangling and always went straight to the point at meetings, “The influx of a large number of knights and civilians injects fresh blood into the development of Flame Island; the population is always the driving force behind a nation’s development. However, we must also recognize the current chaos in our territory.”
He paused before continuing, “Managing work is full of difficulties, but I trust you can handle it well. Within a month, I need to see that all newcomers and veterans are living and working happily. Also, I expect the new knights to adapt to their new status within this month and coordinate their work duties.”
“As you wish, Your Highness!” his followers responded in unison.
Liszt nodded, then said, “I do not often stay at Flame Castle. My father, Marquis of Bull Tail, will reside in Flame Castle. He can fully coordinate the construction of the territory when I am away.”
Li Weiliam continued the topic, “My colleagues, let us strive for the establishment of the Flame Kingdom.” As the father of a Dragon Knight and future king’s father, he fully coordinated the territory’s construction, and the Knight Class would have no objections.
All nodded in acknowledgement.
Liszt announced the second personnel decision, “The kingdom’s development area is vast, and transport is inconvenient, for better assistance in Marquis Bull Tail’s management work, I will directly establish a Development Committee, to serve as the Flame Kingdom’s temporary Inner Cabinet before its founding.”
The royal families of various countries would establish an Inner Cabinet, with Nobles entering the palace to serve as ministers, overseeing the affairs of the kingdom.
Although the Flame Kingdom had not yet been established, this was only a matter of time, and so it was necessary to set up a temporary cabinet. With no fiefs available to enjoy at the moment, the Nobles and Knights participating in the meeting all looked at Liszt with eyes full of anticipation, hoping to be selected for the Development Committee.
His gaze swept over many Nobles and Knights eager to try.
He directly declared, “Marquis Bull Tail will serve as the Committee Chair, Dimaria Yuhua Stone as the Vice Chair, and Goltai, Marcus, Elton Golden Chrysanthemum Medal, Geoffrey Begonia, Durt Red Apricot, Emily, Paris as members; Chris and Kenley will act as Special Members to coordinate with the Magic Guild in participating in the development of the territory.”
When the results were announced, some were surprised, others were disappointed, but no one raised an objection.
It was expected that Marquis Bull Tail would serve as the head of the committee.
Dimaria had just surrendered and was immediately appointed as the vice-chair, which was entirely Liszt’s way of returning the favor for his performance in the persuasion work. Besides, Dimaria was a Domain Knight and a long-time Marquis, with his original fief being very prosperous, making his management work trustworthy.
Goltai and Marcus had lower titles and strength, but they were Liszt’s confidants, having been his tutors during the times in Fresh Flower Town, which meant their relationship was no ordinary one.
Geoffrey had also just surrendered; he was a Domain Knight of the Completion Level, in his prime with an ambitious spirit, and Liszt looked forward to his performance.
Durt was an Earl who had surrendered during the era of Black Horse Island, and receiving favor was only to be expected.
As for Emily, it goes without saying that she was the sole candidate for the reserve Dragon Knight plan; the same goes for Paris, around whom there were many rumors claiming she was the Lord Landlord’s secret lover.
Only Elton was an exception, having been strongly supported by Liszt, Li Weiliam, and Dimaria during their discussion the previous night.
Liszt did not think highly of such an inept person who liked to oppress his own brothers, for no other reason than that he was a second son himself, always feeling that Noble families were too harsh on second sons. Chinese tradition held the belief in the blessing of many sons, but here Nobles were content with just one.
Having more sons meant there weren’t enough resources to raise them all, which often led to second sons being driven out to struggle for themselves.
Of course, the bigger the Nobles, the less severe this concept of mistreating second sons was, since they had substantial wealth and didn’t mind raising several heirs.
Elton was born into a large Noble family but was harsh on his more talented younger brother, which reflected poorly on his character.
However, both Li Weiliam and Dimaria believed it was crucial to stabilize the Knight Class amid the current chaos in the territory. Naturally, having a high-ranking Noble used prominently would comfort the Knight Class quickly. Liszt wasn’t too concerned about these issues and went along with the idea, so Elton thus entered the Development Committee.
As for Chris and Kenley, the two Grand Magicians serving as Special Members was solely for coordinating with the Magic Guild.
They were not personally involved in the development of the territory, focusing instead on letting the Magic Guild engage in research, functioning similarly to an academy of sciences.
“My lords, the important task of developing Flame Island is now in your hands.”
“As you wish, Your Highness!”

After the meeting ended and the Development Committee was announced to the public, the temporary Inner Cabinet’s significance quickly became apparent, as all official duties no longer crowded upon Liszt’s desk.
Therefore, he made time to take Ach and quickly headed towards the Doomsday Volcano Crater—having already gotten Leo’s agreement to guide a volcanic eruption at the Doomsday Volcano Crater through a trade involving twenty bottles of Red Dragon Water.
