If there were no accidents, Liszt would not know the name Alfred Bumblebee. Now that there were more and more Knight following him, it was hard for him to pay attention to a single Baron.
Piero was in charge of opening the way in the mountains and building a bridge in the water.
Apart from riding the dragon and driving away the magical beasts that might invade the migration team, Roland was also thinking about the clues about the sub-dragon that Piero Grayiron had provided him. This was the content of the previous spiritual battle. The clue about the sub-dragon that Piero had provided him was about the Giant Lion Nimia.
There was not much information about the Giant Lion Nimia in the legends. What Liszt knew was that the Giant Lion Nimia was said to be invulnerable and unkillable.
The information Piero possessed also proved this point.
Ten years ago, the Greyiron Dragon Aoun was still called the Gray King. He was the dragon of the Greyiron family that ruled over the Greyiron Duchy. Once, the Gray King went out for a stroll and found a strong lion in the wilderness south of the Greyiron Duchy. The Gray King wanted to hunt the lion for food.
However, after fighting with the lion, he actually did not manage to kill it.
Of course, the Gray King was not satisfied. After returning to the Greyiron Duchy, he asked Piero to gather Magicians to set up a magic formation to hunt the Giant Lion Nimia.
In the end, he still did not kill it. Instead, the Giant Lion Nimia killed the lion and escaped.
"I sent people to the Land of Fertility three times. All three times, they failed and lost a lot of resources. In the end, nothing came of it. Two years ago, I went to the Land of Fertility to hunt and saw the Giant Lion Nimia from afar. It was still alive and well. I did not see any of its kind. "
Piero could not catch or kill the Giant Lion Nimia, but he could not bear to give it up. Thus, he hid the secret and slowly investigated the Giant Lion Nimia.
He was secretly investigating the Giant Lion Nimia. "I found a record. In the era of the Moon Empire, the Giant Lion Nimia was a social animal. After an indigenous tribe killed the Giant Lion Nimia, they used its skin to make armor that could contend against Magic Shooters."
"Isn't the Giant Lion Nimia unkillable?"
"Uh, there might be a special way to kill the Giant Lion Nimia. Otherwise, the Giant Lion Nimia would be overrun, and now there's basically no trace of the Giant Lion Nimia."
Since he had learned from Piero that the Giant Lion Nimia resided in the southern wilderness, a place called the Land of Fertility, Liszt naturally intended to meet the Giant Lion Nimia. However, it was not easy to find the Giant Lion Nimia. Back then, when he was standing on the back of the Gray-Mouthed Iron Dragon, Piero had to search for half a month before he could find it.
This giant lion, Nimia, would actually hide in a cave to rest, and even the Magic Eyes could not find it.
After clearing his thoughts, Liszt stopped thinking about the Great Lion Nimia. He had to escort this batch of Knight to Realgar City before he could take the time.
…
The straight-line distance from the Duchy of Gray Iron to Adamantine City was about 7,000 kilometers. The road was bumpy, and even with the protection of a Knight, it would take at least two months to reach Adamantine City safely.
On the other hand, Liszt's time was extremely precious. He only escorted the Migration Knight halfway before he turned around and left.
He returned to Flame Island.
The reason was simple. High Mage Laird Truth had already awakened, and the interrogation could begin. At this time, High Mage Laird had already put on a custom-made prison uniform to restrict his connection with the Magic Net and prevent him from casting powerful spells to escape.
As for the golden magic cloak he was originally wearing, it was only a gorgeous piece of clothing that slightly increased the power of spellcasting.
"Laird Truth …"
Before Liszt could interrogate him, Laird suddenly looked at Liszt and said word by word, "The High Mage who defeated me that day was Sir A Rhoides Truth?"
"Yes, but let's talk about something else first. Who was the mastermind behind this assassination attempt?"
"Isn't it clear who the mastermind is? Apart from Great Emperor Jupiter, there is no one else who can command High Mages and the King of Shadows." Laird's face was still pale, but he did not seem tired. "King Liszt, let's not beat around the bush. I can tell you everything I know, but I have a request."
"What request?"
"I want to impart all the knowledge I've mastered over the years to Sir A Rhoides. I hope she can inherit my research and explore deeper truths!"
"What kind of request is that? You still want to be A Qi's teacher?"
"No, I've explored the truth for so many years, but my mastery and understanding of magic are not as good as the young High Mage Siren. It's obvious that I'm not qualified to be her teacher. King Liszt, you don't have to doubt my intentions. Assassinating you is just a transaction. I have no ill intentions towards you. "
"Do you think I'll believe you?"
"Why not? I'm a High Mage. Exploring the truth is my life's mission. I'm just cooperating with Great Emperor Jupiter. He needs me to host magic services for him, and I need him to provide me with research resources. Then, he'll use the Light of Imprisonment in exchange for me assassinating you. "
The Light of Imprisonment was the destroyed magic staff.
Laird said matter-of-factly, "To me, Great Emperor Jupiter doesn't understand the charm of the truth. Unfortunately, the Magic Shooters in the Legendary Continent have long withered, so I can only cooperate with the Noble Frost Empire. But it's different now. Sir A Rhoides is a rare Magic Shooter. She's proven that she can go further than all the other Magic Shooters! "
Faced with Laird's words, Liszt didn't know how to respond.
He was already prepared to torture this Magic Shooter, make him understand how stupid it was to assassinate him, and interrogate him for information about the Noble Frost Empire. He didn't expect Laird to not play by the rules. He didn't take the assassination seriously and even wanted to cooperate with A Qi.
"So, you think you can get away with just a few sentences after assassinating me?"
"You want compensation, right? I can't provide you with resources. My Mage Tower is in the Noble Frost Empire, so obviously, I have to give it up. But I can use the information I know and my knowledge to exchange for your forgiveness, "Laird said. "Also, I can stay in the Fire Kingdom and provide magic services for the kingdom. You only need to provide for my daily research needs."
…
The interrogation didn't go smoothly.
Or rather, it went too smoothly. Laird didn't have any intention of resisting. With an attitude of "I'm ready to sell myself to repay the debt", he urged Link to hurry up and cooperate.
This left Liszt with nowhere to vent his anger. He couldn't just slap Laird to death. Plus, the knowledge of a Magic Shooter was indeed a temptation that Liszt couldn't resist. So, he could only look for A Qi and ask if she was willing to cooperate with Laird.
A Qi said directly, "A Magic Shooter is indeed worth cooperating with, but he assassinated my brother. A Qi doesn't like this kind of person!"
Without a doubt, A Qi supported killing the Magic Shooter.
"My brother doesn't like it either, but he's a Magic Shooter after all. It'd be a pity to waste his knowledge. Also, a Magic Shooter's research ability can be of great help to your experiments … Let him stay. Tell Charlie to pay attention to his attitude at all times. If he has any ill intentions, kill him."
Just like that.
Laird Truth had officially joined the Fire Kingdom, but Liszt hadn't vented his anger yet. So, he set his sights on the King of Shadows, Louis Shadow, who had recovered from his injuries and was about to wake up.
"You'll have to bear double my anger for attempting to assassinate me!"
