Chapter 974: Chapter 0971: Elf Knight
The bells of the New Year chimed nine times.
It marked the passing of one year and the commencement of another. Flame Island didn’t have snow, so the festive atmosphere wasn’t quite like it was on Black Horse Island, but the lively ambiance nevertheless increased.

The number of elves continued to grow, causing the not-so-large Flame Castle to buzz with noise from morning till night.
Chris and Paris had already returned; the still-young Lucy and Ruth had gone to sleep in their guest rooms, and Emily was also arranged to rest in a guest room.
Liszt and Ach hid on the study’s balcony, gazing at the gradually increasing number of stars in the sky.
He held Ach close, inhaling the fragrant scent from her azure hair, and the mist in front of his eyes slowly formed into Serpent Script.
“Complete the task, reward: One Dragon Elf.”
With an arched brow and a quick thrill in his heart, he soon regained his composure. The Dragon Elf would eventually be his; there was no need to rush.
He then looked at the new Smoke Mission.
“Task: The time for establishing the kingdom within three years is drawing near, yet the site for the King’s Castle has just finished selection. It will take a long time before the Royal Palace is completed. Perhaps it would be wise to hasten the construction pace. Please lay a suitable foundation for the Royal Palace and the King’s Castle. Reward: New Species of Red Tree.”
The content and reward of the new task seemed not too extraordinary.
“Ach, do you think the Power of Destiny can be grasped?” he suddenly felt inspired to ask Ach, the Power of Destiny represented by the smoke, visible only to him.
Ach looked a bit puzzled, “Didn’t you always say that man can conquer heaven?”
“That’s true, one’s destiny certainly relies on personal effort, but it also must consider the historical process. My achievements have already become a legend, creating a kingdom from nothing, something that hasn’t appeared in many years of the knight era on the Legendary Continent.”
Duchies merged and separated frequently, with families founding kingdoms because of dragon riding, and others perishing when their dragons died.
However, fluctuations seldom occurred in kingdoms, for instance, the northeast corner of the Legendary Continent had been dominated for over a thousand years by Eagle Kingdom, Steel Ridge Kingdom, and Blast Furnace Fortress Kingdom.
The birth of Flame Kingdom was certainly a significant event worth recording in detail in the history of the Legendary Continent over the past thousand years. It will gradually spread from the northeast corner to the far reaches of the continent through the songs of minstrels, and no one knows what tales will eventually be woven around Liszt.
But, it would undoubtedly make great material for many knight novels.
Perhaps Ach, too, as an Archmage rising in an era of the shrinking Magic Web, carried a profound legendary color.
“We both have already become part of a legend, Ach, what follows is merely making the legend more splendid… Once Flame Kingdom stabilizes, I’ll take you to explore the entire Legendary Continent, and then cross the Devil’s Sea to seek the vanished civilization of the Child of the Sun, how about that?”
“Sure!” Ach nodded.
But she quickly asked again, “Didn’t you mention before about conquering the Legendary Continent?”
“Ha, ha, I’ve said many things, but then was then, and now is now. If there’s a chance, we’ll conquer; if not, I’ll just be an adventurer. Maybe many years from now, there will be a legend of the Adventure King left by us… Anyway, the world is vast, and I want to see it.”
“Ach wants to see it too.”
As they were chatting, suddenly a Greater Elf quietly climbed up behind Liszt: “Liszt.”
“What’s the matter, Karl?”
It was the Giant Demon Tuber Greater Elf Karl speaking softly, “Jela and Ash just had a fight, instigated behind the scenes by Carly and Yadi.”
Jela was a Thorn Greater Elf, Ash was a Pea Great Elf.
“Hmm, how did the fight turn out?”
“Karl seriously said, ‘Ash took out a rope to tie up Jela, and Jela raised her palm to slap Ash, but the old butler came over and separated them, otherwise they would have definitely wrecked the house.'”
“Hmm, well done Karl, keep watching them and report directly to me if there are any disturbances.”
“Um!” Karl, assigned with the task, flew back excitedly, wanting to supervise these unruly elves and maintain harmony in Flame Castle.”
“Karl is quite funny,” Ach said with a laugh.
Liszt nodded. “Indeed, he’s a very interesting Greater Elf. If I were to start an elf school, I would definitely recommend Karl as the class leader; he has the potential to be a prefect.”
“But Carly, Yadi, and Jela would definitely not accept Karl’s management.”
“That’s alright, prefects don’t necessarily need their classmates to obey them; as long as the teachers obey, that’s enough.” His two Dragon Elves lacked the potential to be Elf Butlers—Carly liked to run around, Yadi incited trouble, and among the active Greater Elves, although Jela always considered herself a butler.
But its role is like a catfish effect, the bully among the elves, a major antagonist.
At this point, he couldn’t help but think, “The Dragon Elf reward from the Smoke Mission—will it be a wild Dragon Elf or an evolved Dragon Elf?”
…
Liszt didn’t have to wait long.
The reward for the Dragon Elf was soon clear—Phoenix Perch Parasol Greater Elf Annie had finally evolved into a Phoenix Perch Parasol Dragon Elf.
“Liszt, thank you for your help, I feel amazing now,” said Annie, who had grown to one meter tall and had become more graceful.
Looking at the sleek Annie, he asked, “Um, do you need me to prepare a few sets of clothes for you?”
“Clothes? I am not very fond of wearing them, but now that I am a Knight, Liszt, please prepare a few sets of armor for me instead,” Annie considered for a moment and responded.
Now, Annie no longer liked flying on her own; she rode Little Yellow, Little Red, and Little Purple all over the place, overseeing the bird flocks in the current Phoenix Perch Parasol Forest on behalf of Liszt.
“So, are you going to continue living here, or would you like to come and live with me in Flame Castle?”
“I don’t like living in a castle; I am a Sky Knight, and soaring in the sky is my way of life. You go back, Liszt, and don’t forget to bring me the latest flavor of Jade Powder next time you visit. Oh right, I also don’t need this Fire Dragon Scale anymore, please return it to Leo for me.”
Annie pulled out the scale from Leo’s tail.
After successfully evolving, the Phoenix Perch Parasol Dragon Elf no longer had feelings for Fire Dragon Leo.
“Alright then, I’ll leave the bird groups in your care, Annie.”
“Leave it to me.”
…
“Annie has also become a Dragon Elf. Now I have three Dragon Elves, nine Greater Elves, more than a hundred Minor Elves and lots of Elf Bugs. Still, it’s not enough, it doesn’t fit the status of a king… However, I have six dragons, hehe,” Liszt thought to himself, feeling pleased.
In a flash, he had already arrived at Moon Slayer Sacred Mountain; Ach was riding Unicorn Charlie, observing the terrain near the mountain, helping Liszt complete the Smoke Mission.
“How is it, have you finished surveying the terrain?” Liszt asked.
“Yes, I have a general idea. Brother, how do you want to transform the Sacred Mountain?”
The Smoke Mission tasked Liszt with laying the groundwork for the King’s Castle and Royal Palace, and by groundwork, Liszt meant the foundation. After several days of thought, he had an initial idea: “I plan to choose a ten-kilometer square area at the valley location at the foot of the Sacred Mountain and raise it, making it at least ten meters higher than the surroundings.”
A ten-kilometer side length, the area would be one hundred square kilometers, more than enough for building the King’s Castle.
He continued, “And the Royal Palace will be built atop the Sacred Mountain. Sacred Mountain consists of two mountain ranges forming an Hourglass Valley, and I hope you can help build a rock platform between the two mountains; I want to have the Royal Palace span across the peaks of the two mountains!”
