"Mission completed. Reward: a large number of hemp rope vines."
After a lot of effort, Liszt collected three hemp rope vines and a large number of capsules.
The hemp rope vines rewarded by these smoke missions were indeed very powerful. The thickest one was only as thick as two fingers, but he could not tear it apart even with the strength of his dragon qi. Even the vines, which were thinner than a pinky finger, could not be torn apart immediately. Even the filamentous vines were very strong.
It was difficult to cut them with a knife. They were stronger than hemp rope in all aspects.
"If they do not decay too quickly, they will definitely be a valuable specialty, far more valuable than hemp rope." Liszt was very satisfied with the reward and was ready to plant them on a large scale in the territory to replace hemp rope. "Unfortunately, there are no hemp rope vine sprite worms, which is a bit troublesome to plant."
The effect of fertilization alone was far less than the influence of sprites.
However, some of them were already very good, and he did not ask for more. He took the specimens and returned to the cabin to wash for a while. In the morning sun, he rode the seven-colored whale and left the island with A Qi.
Back to the territory.
He had been away from the territory for six days, and including the return trip, he had spent a week on the island. Although the process was a bit complicated, the result was good. The little fire dragon had reached a preliminary agreement, and there was no need to worry about future training. As for riding a dragon, there was still a long way to go.
In addition, he also took away a human skull worm and a batch of hemp rope vine seeds. The harvest was quite plentiful.
On the other side, A Qi studied the high-level magic, Water Fusion, and was pondering other new spells, gaining a deeper understanding of magic arrays.
This was laying the foundation for her future promotion to Archmage.
Liszt did not doubt that A Qi had the talent to promote to Archmage. Her talent, even if only in water, was amazing.
Of course.
No matter how outstanding A Qi's performance was, she was not as fast as Liszt's progress.
He was now a "Quasi-Dragon Knight," which was a popular word in novels. He belonged to the category of Half-Dragon Knight. Even if he was only a Half-Dragon Knight, he was much stronger than the perfect Sky Knight. He was truly a powerhouse under the Grand Duchy of Sapphire.
Second in the world.
"Oh."
"If Marquis Bull was still alive and still had the power of a Lich, I probably wouldn't be able to defeat him."
"But I'm not far from being able to fight a dozen Sky Knights. I feel like I can fight seven or eight Earls at once."
He even wanted to spar with the Grand Duke and see how strong a real Dragon Knight was — that is, if the Sapphire Grand Duke had really succeeded in riding a dragon.
He had guessed this result more than once. "Did the archduke succeed in riding the dragon? The Earl and Marquis Merlin seem to have guessed that the Grand Duke has already succeeded in riding a dragon, but … it was already very strenuous for me to ride a young dragon that was less than a month old. It can be seen how difficult it is to ride an adult dragon. "
With the manpower and material resources of the Sapphire Clan, apart from the first-generation grand duke who was a Dragon Knight, the remaining second-generation, third-generation, and fourth-generation grand dukes were unable to successfully ride a dragon.
The current fifth-generation grand duke was also unable to ride a dragon for the first half of his life. His only chance was to use the Sapphire Dragon's injury to meet the conditions for riding a dragon. But for some reason, the Sapphire Grand Duke neither announced that he had become a Dragon Knight, nor denied that he had not succeeded in riding a dragon.
Therefore, the archduke could now be called "Schrodinger's Dragon Knight" — Schrodinger's cat might be dead or alive; the archduke might be riding a dragon or not.
… …
The sea breeze caressed his face.
The waves rolled.
Whether it was in the water or on the surface, the rainbow whale's swimming speed did not change much. At 80 kilometers per hour, it could swim continuously for a day and a night. The chocobo Loki and the rainbow whale Lolth were both draconic beasts. One was superior in explosive power, while the other was superior in endurance.
There was nothing on the blue sea.
Only white clouds floated overhead.
Liszt was still thinking about the Sapphire Grand Duke and the Sapphire Dragon. The reason why he thought of this problem was because of the new smoke mission.
"Mission: the Grand Duke's emissary is a guest in Tulip Castle. His arrival carries the intentions of the Grand Duke. This is a choice of faction. As a follower, you have the right to choose once. Please make a choice quickly. Join the Grand Duke's camp or stay in the Count's camp. Reward: Blueblood Knight Set. "
It was a choice of faction.
Liszt had already made up his mind. He chose to follow the Count and help the Count pursue the position of Marquis. Now, he only needed to reply to the Grand Duke's emissary and the mission would be completed.
He needed to refuse or postpone it smoothly. For the time being, he could not offend the Sapphire Grand Duke.
However, in his heart, Liszt did not want to follow the Sapphire Grand Duke – for no other reason than that the Sapphire Grand Duke had dragons, and he also had dragons. Everyone was a Dragon Knight, and no one had more dragons than the other. How could a proud Dragon Knight declare allegiance to another Dragon Knight?
He would rather continue to follow his father in order to avoid this kind of humiliating allegiance.
"When I become a real Dragon Knight, have the power to protect myself and win the Battle of the Dragon, I will leave the Grand Duchy of Sapphire and create my own country."
"Moreover, maybe I can choose to overthrow the Sapphire Family and dominate the Grand Duchy of Sapphire myself?"
… …
When he arrived at the new port of Black Horse Island, it was already eleven hours later in the evening.
The officials in charge of the construction in Newport Town quickly came to salute him. Liszt did not disturb them and went to the dock to inspect it.
The Sunset, transformed from the sunken ship of the sky, has been preliminarily assembled and will probably be able to go into the water for testing in another week. But to really appear in the sea and become Liszt's flagship, braving the wind and waves, it may take a long time to explore and repair.
The host of the dock was Captain Kosto, the former caravan captain of the Little Kerchief Island, who has grown into a senior official of the territory.
Not only did he have to preside over seaman training, but he also had to preside over shipbuilding experiments. He was busy every day.
"My Lord, at present, the sampan workshop can produce single-masted sailboats. Although it cannot be used for long-distance sailing, it is far more efficient in offshore operations than ordinary sampans."
"Continue to work hard. The single-masted sailboat is just the beginning. You should learn to make brigs as soon as possible. In the process of transforming the Sunset, you should also accumulate more experience in making three-masted sailboats. I will try to dig out a group of shipbuilders from the shipyards on the outer islands to fill in the technical gaps. "
"As you wish, my Lord!"
Liszt did not stay in Newport Town for dinner. He rode an ordinary horse to the Black Horse Ranch, changed to the Black Blood Horse King, Lightning, and galloped to the port town for dinner and a hot bath.
He took the newly produced giant algae potion from the Wizard Tower.
He then learned about the situation of the court messenger through Advisor Gort.
The court messenger had arrived at Coral Island three days ago, ready to visit Black Horse Island on behalf of the Grand Duke and discuss the matter of following. However, because Liszt was not in the territory, the court messenger stopped at Tulip Castle and waited.
