Chapter 986: Chapter 983 Two Happy Events
“Cousin, it’s been a long time.”
In the Azure Sky Peak Palace, Liszt met his cousin Meioubao Taro. As the son-in-law of Duke Andrew, he had certainly come to help at the funeral.
Meioubao bowed respectfully, “Your Majesty the King.”
“Do we still need to be formal? Just call me Liszt in private.” Liszt had a great fondness for Taro’s family, and his brotherly relationship with Meioubao was far stronger than with Levis. “And Angela, didn’t you have a daughter? Her name is Melens, right?”
“Yes, Melens Taro.” Meioubao called a servant, instructing him to summon Angela and bring over their daughter. “It’s a pity she wasn’t a boy… But thanks to the tiny humanoid potion you sent us back then, Angela and I have been trying hard, and she’s pregnant again.”
Noble families naturally needed a male heir; otherwise, the family line would eventually end—there were female heirs, but they were rare.
Before long, Angela arrived, holding their daughter, not yet a year old.
Little Melens looked chubby in her mother’s arms, and it was still too early to tell which parent’s features she might inherit. Her birth had quickly matured her parents; Meioubao had shed his immaturity, while Angela had become solemn.
Liszt could see the love in their eyes when they looked at each other.
That was good—he had always worried his cousin might end up wearing a cuckold’s cap, but now he could rest easy.
“Liszt, during this visit to offer condolences, how many days will you stay in the Azure Sky Peak Palace?” Angela took a teapot handed over by a Royal Palace servant and personally brewed a cup of green tea for Liszt.
“I need to discuss some matters with Anthony and then I must hurry back; there are too many issues waiting for me in the Flame Islands. However, my father will stay in the Azure Sky Peak Palace until the envoys from the three great kingdoms have all arrived, then I will return to attend Duke Andrew’s funeral.”
Meioubao asked, “When are the Flame Islands planning to open to outsiders?” Currently, the Flame Islands were in a state of lockdown, with stringent processes for entry and exit.
“As soon as the kingdom is established, we will open the teleportation arrays, allowing merchants and envoys from various countries to freely enter and leave the Flame Islands. Cousin, if you wish to visit, I can arrange for Levis to accompany you… Actually, there’s nothing particularly secretive in the Flame Islands, but to minimize infiltration from the three great kingdoms, external connections have been closed.”
“I understand. The Kingdom of Flames is still in its infancy, indeed we must guard against infiltration from the three great kingdoms. I’m particularly curious to see the magic teleportation array, a legendary and magnificent magic that can only be revitalized by an Archmage’s hands,” Meioubao said admiringly.
In fact, he was not alone.
Anyone aware of the Heart Reed Teleportation Formation’s existence wanted to witness it.
Many knights and magicians, for the sake of traveling through the teleportation array just once, had unhesitatingly chosen to defect to the Kingdom of Flames.
Liszt casually said, “After Duke Andrew’s funeral, you and Angela can bring little Melens and visit Flame Castle for a few days.”
“Just traveling through the teleportation array once will be enough; we shouldn’t break the Kingdom of Flames’ rules just because we’re relatives,” Meioubao didn’t want Liszt to make an exception. “After the Kingdom of Flames is established, Angela and I will come and properly explore the Flame Islands.”
…
After the luncheon, Anthony finally found an opportunity to invite Liszt into a private study to discuss matters: “Your Majesty, my father left a letter before he passed away, instructing me to personally hand it to you.”
Liszt quickly read through the letter, which wasn’t long.
Duke Andrew mainly addressed two matters in his letter: one was that Anthony would inherit the title of Grand Duke and continue to uphold the agreements between the Sapphire Family and the followers of the Flame Family, immediately announcing this externally upon the establishment of the Kingdom of Flames; the other was concerning the Sapphire Dragon.
Following Duke Andrew’s passing, the soul of the Sapphire Dragon would be missing again, soon deteriorating, and he hoped Liszt would act quickly to save the Sapphire Dragon.
For this, the Sapphire Family was willing to demonstrate utmost sincerity to help the development of the Flame Kingdom.
After reading the letter, Liszt feigned deep thought for a moment and then slowly spoke, “Anthony, the Sapphire Family follows me, and I will not let them decline. The Sapphire Dragon will certainly be saved… This time I came here with Acherloides to stabilize the Sapphire Dragon.”
“Thank you for Your Majesty’s help, Anthony will follow Your Majesty without wavering!” Anthony knelt on one knee, showing his determination.
“Please rise.” Helping Anthony up, he continued, “In fact, we have already extracted the Dragon Soul that was stolen from the Sapphire Dragon. However, the soul needs some time to purify as it has been fused with Lich Andy for too long. It should be purified in half a month and just stabilize the Sapphire Dragon for a month.”
Anthony was overjoyed at his words, then eagerly asked, “Your Majesty, do you think I could become a Sapphire Dragon Knight while the Soul of the Sapphire Dragon is impaired and then heal the Sapphire Dragon afterward?”
He played a good game.
Wanting to become a Dragon Knight.
Liszt just smiled, “Duke Andrew sacrificed his own soul to barely become a Dragon Knight, and you will certainly have to sacrifice your own soul as well. Once I heal the Sapphire Dragon, you won’t be able to retrieve your soul back. Without a dragon to sustain it, you might just die soon due to the loss of your soul.”
Anthony awkwardly smiled, no longer bringing up Dragon Knights.
He himself deemed it a folly and a vain hope, and if becoming a Dragon Knight were so easy, the three great kingdoms would not have so few.
Perhaps seeing Liszt riding dragons so casually in front of him also inflated his expectations, making him think that riding dragons is an easily achievable task.
…
Acherloides made his move.
With a few simple magic arrays involving the soul, he halted the deterioration of the Sapphire Dragon’s injuries. In fact, the Dragon Soul was on him, ready for healing the Sapphire Dragon at any time.
But Liszt did not want to seem too eager—which might make people think he waited for Duke Andrew’s death before taking action—so he decided to delay. He also wanted to assess the loyalty of the Sapphire family, whether they devotedly follow him or wavered between the Steel Ridge Kingdom and Flame Kingdom, trying to play both sides.
From what he could see, Anthony corrected his stance without harboring other intentions.
Shortly thereafter.
Leaving the Marquis of Bull Tail to represent him, Liszt and Acherloides left Azure Sky Peak Palace and quickly returned to the Flame Islands. Acherloides continued to work on the purification methods for the Cursed Dragon in the Overmarine Laboratory and attempted to reverse the remaining six mermaids’ self-imposed seals.
Liszt, taking advantage of the momentum, trained intensely with Leo with the aid of Fire Dragon Elixir, hoping to complete the Mind Branding soon.

Time flashed by.
The page of Sapphire Calendar Year 156 turned; February arrived, and two joyful events occurred in succession.
Leo’s Mind Branding was completed amidst Liszt’s intensive training, becoming a fully-developed Flame Dragon Knight, only waiting for his adulthood to reach peak fighting capabilities.
At the same time, Emily’s Advanced Dou Qi finally perfected, officially gaining recognition from the Light Green Gemstone Dragon, initiating and winning a Mind Battle.
She became the second Dragon Knight of the Flame Kingdom and the first female Dragon Knight in the history of the Legendary Continent!
Moreover, she was a Dragon Knight at the rare age of fifteen!
