After eating and taking a bath, Liszt did not choose to spend the night in Firewood Castle. Instead, he put on the jewel crown, rode the invisible dragon Bard, and traveled through space to Thorn Castle on Black Horse Island for the night.
He wanted to appease his elves, as well as the Gray Iron Dragon Aoun, who guarded Black Horse Island. He wanted to ride it and try to leave his spiritual imprint. Many days later, Aoun's negative feelings towards him had gradually faded, and he began to try to accept Liszt's care.
Positive emotions were constantly heating up.
"Roar!" Aoun expressed joy for the arrival of Liszt for the first time.
So one man and one dragon hovered over Black Horse Island at night, not trying to develop too many skills, but trying to practice the Dragon Dou Qi secret book created by the previous generations of Gray Iron Dragon Knight. Liszt, wearing the jewel crown, felt that his cooperation with Aoun had greatly improved their strength.
This artifact was of great value, worthy of being made by an ancient Archmage.
Of course, perhaps the jewel crown was more suitable for Archmages. When the time came, he would give it to A Qi to try it on. Anyway, he and A Qi were the same, whoever needed it could wear it.
They strolled around a few times.
Back at Thorn Castle, the Thorn Sprite Ella had been waiting in the castle's living room, along with the Pea Sprite, Eich.
"Wow, Liszt, you didn't come to see me when you came back!" Ella complained as soon as she came up.
"I heard you were sleeping, so I didn't disturb you." Liszt picked up Ella, put her on the table in the living room, and said solemnly, "Ella, you have grown up, and it is time to take on more important responsibilities. I am going to hand over the responsibility of Thorn Castle to you. Do you have confidence?"
Ella clenched her small fist, raised her head, and responded proudly, "Hmph, those elves who dare not listen to me, Ella, let them taste the iron fist of justice!"
"Don't be violent, be gentle." Liszt smiled. It was probably a line that he accidentally came up with one day, and Ella had learned it well.
Ella snorted again, "If Eich is disobedient, Ella will beat it up!"
"Hehe." Eich pulled the rope and sneered. She had never been afraid of Ella, and she didn't recognize Ella's temper.
Perhaps other elves were afraid of Ella's temper and had no choice but to accept her hegemony, but this did not work in Eich.
Liszt was too lazy to care about how the elves "schemed" against each other. As long as they did not fight, he would let them go. Perhaps with the existence of a grumpy elf like Ella, the elves in the castle would evolve faster so that they would not eat and sleep all day.
"Eich, how's the progress of Orne's evolution?"
"I was just about to tell you, Liszt. I feel like I'm in great shape recently. But it's not enough. I want a piece of Orne's scale. Can you help me get it? "
"You want a piece of Orne's scale? Let me try."
He placed great importance on Eich's evolution process. Thus, after Eich made her request, he immediately went to find Orne. "Give me one of your scales."
"Roar!" As expected, Orne rejected forcefully.
Splash.
Liszt took out a bottle of red dragon water and handed it to Orne's mouth.
After spitting out a breath, Orne's eyes flickered twice and he chose to eat the red dragon water. Then, he shook his tail and shook off the smallest scale on his tail. Then, he crawled on the ground and began to sleep. Perhaps he was afraid that he could not resist the temptation of the red dragon water and would have to sell his scales again.
Picking up the scale, Liszt did not insist on a better one. The scales of the gray-mouthed iron dragon were very big. The smallest scale was equivalent to a washbasin for Eich. It was enough for her to hug the scale to sleep.
"Thank you, Liszt."
"You're welcome, Eich."
"Wow, what is the annoying Eich hugging? Liszt, I want one too!" Ella was very unhappy that Eich got Orne's scale.
Liszt raised his eyebrows. "If you also like a dragon, I will definitely give you a dragon's scale."
"No, Ella doesn't like dragons!"
"Then go to sleep!"
…
Just as Liszt was busy comforting the dragons and elves, the blood code report of the Sun's Child was quickly presented on his desk.
In his spare time, he flipped through the report, which recorded densely packed experimental data. He felt a headache just by looking at it.
He directly flipped to the end of the report and looked at the conclusion. Through the complicated and long-winded records of the mages, he barely understood the true meaning of the blood code.
"Tiny blood particles, magic coat …"
According to the report, blood was composed of tiny particles (roughly cells), and the tiny blood particles of the Sun's Child were wrapped in a layer of magic coat. To be precise, it was a super-tiny magic array with the ability to self-replicate.
In addition to self-replication, this layer of magic coat allowed the blood of the Sun's Child to be stained with magic coat. It also had another function, which was to be a "key."
It was the key to unlocking the Druid's transformation magic.
In order to understand the report more clearly, Liszt directly called Kris Truth over and asked her to explain it to him.
Although Kris was mainly in administrative work, she still had a deep understanding of the cutting-edge magic research of the Guild of Magic. "Your Highness, to put it simply, the magic coat of tiny blood particles should be a means of alchemists. According to the principle of interchangeability of magic and matter, human blood and animal blood are exchanged."
"Human blood and animal blood exchange?"
"Yes, Your Highness. When human blood is replaced with animal blood, coupled with Druid magic, people can immediately become animals made of animal blood. Perhaps the research of the ancient Sun's Child was limited. They only chose bears, leopards, eagles, dolphins, owls, and trees as transformation objects. "
"Since it's animal blood, what's the deal with turning it into a tree?"
"Human blood can also become the liquid in the tree, and then it can also activate Druid magic and turn it into a big tree." Kris immediately explained the principle of magic in detail. To sum it up, it seemed whimsical, but in fact, it was really whimsical and very magical.
It was not something that ordinary mages could study thoroughly. It must have come from the hands of the Archmages of the Sun's Child.
"I think I roughly understand." Liszt nodded. In fact, he did not understand, but as a polymath, it was not suitable to ask repeatedly.
He would let A Qi explain it to him in the future.
Of course, this did not prevent him from continuing to communicate with Kris. "So, since the Guild of Magic has cracked the blood code of the Sun's Child, does that mean that all mages can learn some Druid magic?"
"Uh." Kris replied a little awkwardly. "Although we understand the principle, we still can't crack how the Archmages of the Sun's Child engraved the magic in the blood … So, for the time being, we still can't learn Druid magic."
Liszt frowned. "Can I understand it this way? The Guild of Magic spent a huge amount of my investment, and then researched a bunch of useless results?"
"Your Highness, for the time being, Druid magic research really can't display its value."
"Then cut the funding. I remember I asked you to cut the funding for Druid magic research before."
"Yes, but there are many mages in the Guild who are very interested in Druid magic."
"Convey my orders, cut the funding for Druid magic research by two-thirds. Ordinary mages are prohibited from using the Guild's resources to research the project before they advance to Great Mage. Great Mages must ensure that two-thirds of their energy is used to research the project issued by the Guild. Violators will be expelled from the Guild."
Liszt was a pragmatist and had no interest in reviving a declining civilization. Druid magic was not necessarily better than the current system of mages.
Moreover, he planned to replace mages with arcanists, so it was even more impossible to revive Druid magic.
Druid farming magic could be researched. As for transformation magic and the like, it looked interesting but had little practical significance. Even if the project was not completely cut, the funding would be severely cut.
He thought about it.
