The meeting ended.
Leewilliam found Marquis Grindenton in private and asked, "Is there any feedback on the second wave of dragon assassinations revealed by Snade?"
"It's fake news. Do you think Marquis Bull has the strength to assassinate the Sapphire Dragon now that he's trapped on Iron Hoof Island?" Grindenton denied it directly.
Thinking about it, this was indeed the case.
Severely injuring the Sapphire Dragon once was already worthy of Marquis Bull's thirty years of planning. Wouldn't another assassination mean that the Sapphire Family's efforts on Blue Dragon Island were all in vain? Unless the Sapphire Family raised pigs, it would be impossible for an assassin to assassinate a dragon twice in a row.
…
The battle at Ox Ridge City did not take much effort. The castle was very sturdy, but under the siege of many Sky Knights, it could not hold on and was captured in half a day.
After they entered the castle and rested for a while, Leewilliam led the four knight regiments of Coral Island out of the castle and headed towards Xue Pear City for a search.
In order to find the hidden Orders of Chivalry and Goat Gathering Mages, Leewilliam personally searched every town.
He did not separate the Orders of Chivalry to prevent sneak attacks — everyone knew that great military achievements were hidden in this area. However, Marquis Bull was not someone to be trifled with. If he was not careful, he could be wiped out by the Orders of Chivalry just like the second prince.
With the binoculars, danger could be avoided in advance.
Therefore, Liszt did not care about finding the Orders of Chivalry. He just repeatedly controlled the chocobos and guided them to release magic.
It had clearly reached the critical point of mana release, but it still did not learn magic.
This made Liszt wonder how the players in World of Warcraft mastered magic. No one taught them, which meant that World of Warcraft would not be able to release magic for a long time.
"Cluck!"
Loki chirped, sounding like a mix of a chicken and a duck.
It was now full of food, running diligently, full of magic power, and full of physical strength. It no longer needed the thorn potion to continue stimulating it … In fact, Liszt did not have much thorn potion in stock, and he did not even have enough potions for himself.
"Faster, Loki!"
"Run at full speed!"
"Clatter!"
"Clatter!"
Under Liszt's urging, the chocobos were flying at full speed, already exceeding 200 kilometers per hour and still accelerating. The wind whistled in Liszt's ears. He had to bend down and hug Loki's neck tightly to minimize his wind resistance and adjust his movements to keep up with Loki's rhythm.
As an elite Earth Knight, his riding skills are excellent, so after several adaptations, he has been well integrated into the rhythm of Loki's running pace.
At this time, Loki could cross dozens of meters in one step. It was more like gliding on the ground than running.
The surrounding scenery had already lost its image, turning into a series of afterimages as it rapidly retreated.
"Clack … Clack …"
Loki's voice was also distorted by the wind and could not be heard clearly. However, Liszt could feel that it was moving at a speed that it had never reached before.
"At least 250 kilometers per hour!"
Liszt looked up slightly, watching the scene in front of him, equally excited. The faster Loki ran, the higher its value. Although its combat power was not good, in terms of wandering and chasing, it was definitely better than a horse, even a dragon horse like the black blood horse could not compare.
"Clack … Clack …"
Loki ran and ran and suddenly began to jump, jumping very high with each step. After jumping back and forth several times, Liszt was a little puzzled. Why did it suddenly change to jumping when it was running well?
However, the next moment, he found that things were different.
This time, Loki's jump did not stop for a short period of time before landing. Instead, it was as if a cyclone was supporting it, allowing it to glide in the air less than five meters away from the ground. It lasted for more than ten seconds before landing on the ground. Then it jumped again and glided in the air.
Casting Magic Eyes, Liszt saw that every time Loki jumped, a part of the magic in its body would be drawn.
It was releasing magic!
"This is … Lightness. Mages who study wind magic basically know this kind of magic, condensing wind magic to lift the body or lift heavy objects to reduce weight."
It was not a very difficult magic, and its power was limited, but with Loki, it was like a divine help.
Loki's high-speed running and jumping state was equivalent to gliding on the ground, and with the use of Lightness, gliding became a basic operation.
"Loki, jump!" He gave the order.
"Clack!" Loki responded with Lightness magic.
Then he jumped high. This jump was like a bouncing ball bouncing from the ground, and the height continued to rise. It was not until the ground scenery became smaller that the momentum slowed down, hovering in the air for more than ten seconds, and finally slowly landed. There was not much movement when it landed, and the lifting of wind magic greatly reduced Loki's weight.
"At least ten meters, more than the height of a three-story building!"
Liszt was very proud. Such a Loki, although still far from flying, was no longer limited to the ground. It could barely be called a flying mount.
"Sure enough, I became a Flying Knight."
On the way back.
The smoke Serpentines lingered in front of him. "Quest completed. Reward: Loki Magic – Lightness."
Then it was replaced by new Serpentines. "Quest: Search for the Orders of Chivalry of Wrath and the Gathering of Goats, in progress. Perhaps this is the end of Marquis Ox, but no one knows the final outcome. Please wait patiently for the end of the war. Reward: Unknown Reward. "
"Another waiting quest with an unknown reward … Last time was waiting for the New Year to pass, this time is waiting for the war to end … Is there anything in common?"
Liszt didn't find anything special about this type of quest.
He didn't bother and just looked forward to it. "I don't know what the unknown reward is this time. The unknown reward for the New Year was A Qi, will it also be a legendary creature this time? A unicorn that symbolizes purity, a mermaid that is as attractive as a siren, or a great elf … At the very least, a beautiful female vampire is also good. "
When he returned to the camp stationed in the town.
Before he had time to take a sip of water, he was immediately notified to attend a meeting.
Soon he knew the topic of the meeting. It turned out that his uncle Messiro had sent a secret messenger to convey some news to the count and his son. "There must be something wrong with the Grand Duke's dragon, and it is a very serious problem. According to our channels in the palace, the Grand Duke has left the palace with the dragon, and his whereabouts are unknown."
"Whereabouts unknown?"
"Yes, no one has found out where the Grand Duke has gone, including the Sapphire family. Many people don't know where the Grand Duke has gone."
