Liszt had already left the Blue Sky Mountain Palace with Leewilliam, the Marquis of Oxtail. He and Liszt were both riding on the Gray Iron Dragon Orne.
Of course, Liszt was sitting on the Dragon Tooth Platform while Leewilliam was standing on a piece of scale.
"Looking at the mountains and the earth while riding on a dragon is a totally different experience from looking at the mountains and the earth while riding on the back of a black dragon." The Marquis of Oxtail was very excited. He was destined not to be a Dragon Knight and could only ride on his own black albatross, so he especially cherished this rare dragon experience.
The Gray Iron Dragon was 60 meters long and had a wingspan of 60 meters. It was considered a relatively large dragon among all the dragons, so the experience of riding on it was indeed extraordinary.
"Father, after you go back, search according to the list of materials drawn up by A Qi as soon as possible. These materials are crucial to the establishment of the Magic Transmission Array."
"Don't worry, I will arrange it immediately." Leewilliam asked again, "Then when can the Magic Transmission Array be completed? If it can be completed within half a year, I will not send a fleet to replenish the expedition team. The voyage is too dangerous."
"As long as the materials are complete, the effect can be seen in one or two months."
"That's good."
"By the way, father, reorganize the Orders of chivalry. I intend to ask Grand Duke Andrew to issue an expansion order as scheduled this year, and take advantage of the fact that the Eagle Kingdom is preoccupied with its own affairs to rectify the order of the sea, "Liszt said. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart was filled with murderous intent.
It was impolite not to reciprocate.
Even though the two Dragon Slaying Battles had ended with him winning and snatching the dragon, the spoils of war couldn't be more bountiful. But since the Eagle Kingdom dared to start the War of Dragon Slaying, they would have to bear his revenge.
This time, if he did not cut off a few pieces of his flesh, he would not be able to swallow this anger!
"The vassal states of the Eagle Kingdom have suffered serious losses, but the strength of the Eagle Kingdom itself has not been shaken. You must be careful. Now that the situation is good, it is best not to take risks."
"Father, please rest assured. I know what I am doing."
With the smoke mission in hand, there was no way for Liszt to hide his crafty plots. In a head-on battle, he was not afraid of the ordinary Dragon Knight of the Eagle Kingdom. Even the strongest White Iron Dragon Knight, Alex White Iron, was only so-so. What did the other Dragon Knight have to fear? Even if they surrounded him, he could still escape.
"It's good that you know your limits. I'm just reminding you." Leewilliam sighed with emotion. His second son's vision was so broad that it was no longer something a mere marquis from a remote duchy like him could see.
After giving him a brief reminder, he didn't bring it up again.
…
Just after Liszt left.
The liveliness of the Blue Sky Mountain Raising Palace quickly dissipated.
The Blueblood nobles returned to their respective fiefdoms, while the Sapphire Grand Duke and Lady Sarit hid in the Little Sky Garden. The past two days of receiving guests had consumed a lot of energy, especially when it came to controlling their emotions and changing their minds. It had almost drained the husband and wife.
Lady Sarit was all right. She was only a little tired, but not haggard.
The Sapphire Grand Duke, on the other hand, seemed to have aged a year in an instant. Wrinkles covered his entire face. He was only in his fifties, but he looked like he was on the verge of death.
"Sigh …"
A sigh made Lady Sarit, who was brewing tea, turn around, "My dear, what else is bothering you?"
"There's nothing bothering me. It's just that the weight on my heart is far beyond what I can accept. Too many things have happened in the past two years. Andy betrayed me, someone from the upper echelons of Steel Ridge betrayed me, the Eagle Kingdom sees me as a thorn in their heart, and now Liszt has become the Lord of the Sea. "
The green tea was brewed.
Lady Sarit brought it to the Sapphire Grand Duke and said with a pained expression, "All of these things can't compare to the damage Andy has done to you. If not for his betrayal, which damaged the Sapphire Dragon's soul and shortened its lifespan, you wouldn't have been allowed to use your own soul to replenish the Sapphire Dragon. "
"Is this the new green tea Liszt sent?" The Sapphire Grand Duke looked down at the cup and changed the topic.
"Yes, it's the green tea he took out from his space ring. He said that he picked it on the same day, fried it on the same day, and then stored it directly … I really want a space ring. All the gems in the world can't compare to the few space gems he wears."
"I'm afraid he's reluctant to sell the space gems produced by the invisible dragon, but he left the light emeralds to me as a consolation."
"Actually, I have a good impression of Liszt. He doesn't have the arrogance of young people. Although he brought the dragon to force us to make a choice, he still took care of the Sapphire Family's face. " Lady Sarit nagged a little, "It's a pity I don't have a younger daughter, otherwise …"
"Otherwise what? Do you want to compete with the High Mage around him?"
"There's always a chance."
"Maybe." The Sapphire Grand Duke blew on the tea leaves, "If he didn't have that High Mage around him, I reckon that the Steel Ridge royal family would have already chosen a suitable princess and proposed a marriage alliance to him … The Eagle Kingdom might not necessarily adopt the radical method of a dragon-slaying war."
Throughout history, aristocratic wars were fought while marriage alliances were formed.
To be able to subdue a Dragon Knight through marriage, especially a first-generation Dragon Knight, was simply a cost-effective deal.
Lady Sarit's eyes suddenly lit up as she thought of something, "My dear, I heard that Liszt's sister is not married yet, if …"
When the Sapphire Grand Duke heard this, he immediately pulled a long face, "Don't think about these useless things!"
Then, without drinking the tea, he got up and left. He had already lost his dignity in front of Liszt. If he let his son curry favor with Liszt through marriage, wouldn't he lose even his dignity?
He didn't care how Lady Sarit shouted behind him.
He jumped straight down from the small hanging garden and walked toward the dark interior of the castle. After several twists and turns, he came to a dark secret forbidden room.
"Your Highness!" The forbidden room was guarded not only by Knights, but also by Wizards.
"Open the door."
"Yes."
Click. Creak.
The door made of unknown metal made an ear-piercing friction sound. The Sapphire Grand Duke walked straight in and then motioned for the Knight to close the metal door.
The light from several crystal lamps illuminated the room.
Under his feet was a huge magic array that emitted a faint magic light. In the center of the magic array was a large metal cage.
In the cage, a tall man's back was bent over the table and writing something.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the man did not stop writing. It was not until the Sapphire Grand Duke walked to the edge of the cage that he turned his back to the Sapphire Grand Duke and said in a hoarse voice, "Andrew, you haven't come to see me for a long time. Did something sad happen that made you think of me?"
Grand Duke Andrew dragged a stool over, sat beside the cage, and said coldly, "Tell me something that may make you unhappy."
"Tell me."
"The Eagle Kingdom launched another dragon-slaying war. Unfortunately, this time, not only did they lose a Dragon Knight, but they also lost another dragon."
"Is that so? The dragon fell into your hands?"
"No."
"Then why should I be unhappy?"
"Because the strength of the Eagle Kingdom is declining, and it will collapse sooner or later. At that time, your children will lose their protection, and I will personally catch them and let your family enter the Land of Exile."
"You don't have to scare me. How can the Eagle Kingdom collapse so easily? My children will live a safe life. Maybe in a few years, my grandson, Andrew, will become the new Dragon Knight. At that time, he will help me get what I want. "The tall figure turned around.
On the loose clothes, there was a skull-like face.
His eyes were emitting a faint blue flame. It was not an image that a human should have — this was the former Marquis Bull Andy Sapphire, but now he had become a Lich.
"Hahahaha … Finally, I heard a decent joke during this time." The Sapphire Grand Duke sneered. "Andrew will help you get what you want. Haha, you really dare to imagine. Let me tell you directly. Because of your betrayal, I am now following the new King and Lord. He is a Holy Dragon Knight! "
"Holy Dragon Knight?" The blue flame in Lich Andy's eyes flickered.
