In the end, they were unable to pry open Louis Shadow's mouth. The tortured King of Shadows never revealed any information about the Frost Empire or the Shadow Incarnation.
This was the most strong-willed person Liszt had ever seen. Hence, he could only let the prison guards torture the King of Shadows, Lewis Shadow, until he was half-dead. He then tried to invite Laird Truth to see if he could use soul magic to search Lewis' memories.
Unfortunately, there was no such magic. Even a Magic Shooter who had lived for many years could not do this.
In the end, Louis Shadow's soul collapsed and his body decomposed, returning to the basic material elements between heaven and earth. At the same time, the smoke mission was finally completed.
"Mission completed. Reward: The Bearskin Man's Cultivation Manual."
To be honest, this mission puzzled Liszt. According to the mission reward, when Pilov and his son confessed a month ago, the Bearskin Man's Cultivation Manual was already in his hands. Even if the mission was not completed, it should have been changed. However, it had been delayed until now.
He had to deal with Pilov and his son, Magic Shooter Laird Truth, and the King of Shadows, Louis Shadow.
Only then did he receive the mission reward.
"Why is this happening? Did something happen to the smoke mission? Or did the power of fate deviate due to excessive consumption?"
This question did not bother him for long, because the new mission content had vaguely explained what had happened to the smoke mission.
[Quest: Two hundred and two choices of fate. You have been guided and predicted time and time again. You have grown from a small feudal lord in the countryside to the ruler of a country. In the time that the Fire Kingdom is about to be established, perhaps it is time for you to consider some more profound questions. Please reach the Barrier. Reward: Fate's Favor. "
"Fate's Favor. It seems that the smoke mission is changing."
Liszt frowned and thought, "Is this change good or bad? According to the content of the reward, it should be a good change … Then what was I before? What is my relationship with fate … Or is the power of fate that I got before just a trial version, and now it's giving me the official version?"
Fate's Favor was obviously not just a title. It was more like a higher level of control over the power of fate. According to his understanding, he had been making choices and changing fate over the past few years, thus strengthening the power of fate and gradually forming the Fate's Favor.
If the smoke dragon's power was left on him after its death …
Then now, this power had taken root and was even ready to start breeding a new smoke dragon.
"Is that so?" For the time being, Liszt could not be sure. He could only wait for the completion of this quest and receive the blessing of fate before he could understand it. "So, what I need to do now is to keep training hard and then touch the Rampart … The Rampart is the realm above the Dragon Knight that A Qi mentioned."
Above the Dragon Knight was breaking through the Barrier and becoming a Barrier Knight.
Currently, the only clue to breaking the Barrier was the slumbering Weave Dragon. Liszt had already seen the Weave Dragon twice.
The first was the experiment of tearing apart a natural node, allowing the Formless Dragon Bard to temporarily enter adulthood, allowing him to spy on the Weave Dragon's terrifying form.
The second time was when the Scepter of Time activated its ability to reflect time, allowing him to see a possible scene in the future. Within it was a pair of terrifying eyes. He did not know why, but he was sure that they were the eyes of the Weave Dragon. It was probably because in his knowledge, only the Weave Dragon could have such eyes.
"The Barrier is just a concept for now. Even A Qi hasn't figured it out yet, so how am I supposed to touch it? Don't tell me I have to get A Qi to help the Formless Dragon Bard enter adulthood again, and then secretly spy on the Weave Dragon to discover information about the Barrier? "
Indeed, the Weave Dragon was a very good observation material.
However, the Weave Dragon's powerful strength traversed the boundaries of the material world. If it were to be alarmed by Liszt's spying, wouldn't something terrible happen?
"With the Weave Dragon's strength, it shouldn't be difficult for it to trample me to death, right?" Liszt rarely felt guilty.
Recently, he had become so arrogant that he did not even care about the Empire. However, he still had a deep fear of the Weave Dragon, and it was this fear that prevented him from exploding. This was because he understood that even the Holy Dragon Knight was not invincible. There were still many existences that could harm him.
Not to mention the Weave Dragon, there was still the Cursed Dragon. That inconceivable power of corruption was not something he could resist.
Along with the Cursed Dragon, there was also the Silent Dragon and the Shadow Dragon. They were all unknown powerful existences, and their strength was definitely not weaker than the Holy Dragon.
Even if these dragons did not cause trouble for him for no reason, he could not be too arrogant. Although the Frost Empire's assassination attempt had been broken, the Shadow King's elusive assassination methods still made him vigilant. In this magical world, even the Dragon Knight was not safe.
"It's better to keep a low profile and focus on developing the Fire Kingdom. I'll ride a few more dragons … I wonder if I can ride the Light Dragon from Maple Mountain in the Grand Duchy of Maple Leaf. I have a feeling that once light attribute magic is developed, it will be able to restrain assassins like the Shadow Incarnation."
What left a deep impression on him was Laird Truth's ability to seal space with the help of the Light of Imprisonment Staff. That was a method of using light attribute magic to the extreme. This type of light could penetrate all space and see through everything.
If only he had the Light Dragon by his side.
The Shadow King would not have a chance to get close at all.
"I have two Dragon's Soul Fruits now. When I thoroughly study the Emerald Dragon's hind leg, I should be able to continue to cultivate the Soul Fruit Tree and provide an endless supply of Dragon's Soul Fruits … I can use one on the Light Dragon."
In fact, there was still news about several Elemental Dragons. Their general range of activities was already known, but there was not much value in developing them for the time being. For example, the Wind Dragon, Ice Dragon, and Earth Dragon, there was not much point in developing them. Even the little Water Dragon in Liszt's body was not very useful.
These Elemental Dragons belonged to the Evil Dragon Sequence. They did not produce and consumed a lot of resources. Liszt could not raise too many of them.
Developing the Light Dragon was also to protect his own safety.
…
As if speaking of the devil, Liszt just remembered that the little Water Dragon was still in his body. On the first day of August, the little Water Dragon unexpectedly called out to him.
"Yo!"
It had stayed in Liszt's kidneys long enough. Now it wanted to walk out of his body and see the outside world.
In an open area, Liszt waited for the little Water Dragon to come out. A moment later, the water attribute Dragon Supreme Demon spewed out of his body and turned into a wave floating in the air. The wave quickly exploded into a downpour, and when the raindrops fell to the ground.
A light blue little dragon was flapping its wings and looking at Liszt.
It was ten meters long and had a wingspan of ten meters. It had a slim figure and beautiful scales. Every part of it showed a sense of beauty, including its unusually beautiful dragon head.
However, the evil color in its eyes was comparable to Leo's.
"Yo!" It glanced at Liszt, flapped its wings, and charged into the sky. When Liszt's eyes were about to lose sight of it, it swooped down at high speed.
It tossed back and forth, very satisfied.
Only when it was tired did it land in front of Liszt again. It opened its mouth and let out "Yo! Yo!" sounds. This was to ask Liszt for food.
