"Hey, Hippolyta, did you know that Lady Emily has become a Dragon Knight?"
Hippolyta had just finished her Knight Training class when she heard the shocking news from her friend. The Thunder Elephant Swordsaint, who was ranked second among the female idols of the Fire Islands, had become the second Dragon Knight of the Fire Kingdom in a short period of time. She was also the first female Dragon Knight in the world.
"Really?" The wheat-skinned Hippolyta's eyes widened.
She had two idols. The first was the great Magic Shooter who rode a holy unicorn, the peerless Seki in the hearts of the Moon Killers!
The second was naturally Emily. She was only two years older than her, but she had already become a famous Swordsaint at a young age.
Who would have thought that the unbelievably young Thunder Elephant Swordsaint would become a great Dragon Knight in such a short time? She could also be called Seki.
"Of course it's true. I heard it from the substitute teacher. The vice-principal was supposed to give us a lesson today, but he applied for leave. The teacher told us that he's going to attend the banquet hosted by His Majesty the King at Firecastle to celebrate Lady Emily becoming a Dragon Knight! "
As if remembering something, her friend hurriedly added, "We can't talk about Lady Emily anymore. We should talk about Her Highness Emily!"
"That's amazing. I really hope I can be as outstanding as Lady Emily … Her Highness Emily!" Hippolyta said enviously.
"You're not bad either. You're the youngest among all the Earth Knights of the Moon Killers in our school. Many people are envious of you for becoming an Earth Knight in a year. Oh right, I heard that Her Highness Emily also became an Earth Knight in a year. "
"Aiya, I'm different from Her Highness Emily. I've been training in magic since I was young, so my body is sensitive to magic. I started off as a trainee Knight after switching to fighting aura. Her Highness Emily, on the other hand, was an ordinary serf, but she managed to become an Earth Knight in a year! "
Emily's story was legendary and suitable for spreading.
Of course, most of it was Liszt who got people to spread the word and set an example to attract young people to work hard in their cultivation. The effect was very good. Almost all the girls regarded Emily as their idol, second only to the worship of the Magic Shooter A Qi.
Hippolyta spoke modestly, not daring to compare himself to Emily.
However, in his heart, he really wanted to become the next Emily.
After the cultural class in the afternoon, she packed up and hurriedly left the Royal Academy. This was a new school established after the New Year, and it trained talented students from all over the world. Most of the students were of noble birth, but there were also a few who were commoners. Furthermore, Liszt had stipulated that the proportion of commoners should not be less than 30%.
Back home.
His father, Viscount Pontlesi, had returned. As a great ancient sorcerer who specialized in earth magic, his job was water conservancy.
"Hippolyta, you've returned."
"Father, has Princess Emily become a Dragon Knight?" Hippolyta asked worriedly. She still felt that the news was a little fake. A fifteen-year-old Dragon Knight was three years younger than the king when he was promoted to a Dragon Knight.
Impossible!
"Do you know that Princess Emily has indeed become a Dragon Knight? I've just returned from the Dragon Knight's celebration banquet in Firewood Keep."
Hippolyta no longer had any doubts after receiving confirmation. She only sighed in amazement, "That's amazing! A Dragon Knight! Father, what does Princess Emily look like? Is she tall and strong?"
"She looks like a normal person, but she's tall and beautiful. Her radiance is only slightly weaker than His Majesty's," Pontlesi tried his best to describe it. In the eyes of a normal person, a Dragon Knight radiated light, and their aura was sacred and inviolable.
Hippolyta yearned for the greatness of the Dragon Knight, "Father, do you think I can become a Dragon Knight?"
"You …" Pontlesi couldn't help but recall his good friend Larmot's words. He looked at his daughter who was slowly growing up, and could not help but feel gratified. "As long as you work hard, I believe you have the chance to become a Dragon Knight, and the glory of the Moonslayer."
"Yes, I'll work hard!" Hippolyta clenched her fists to encourage herself, but she quickly added, "Father, my mentor once said that we're all citizens of the Kingdom of Fire. There's no distinction between the Moonslayers and the Firemen. We're all citizens of His Majesty."
Pontlesi smiled, "Haha, I was wrong."
He sighed silently in his heart. Although the Moonslayers had lived in primitive forests for a long time and their civilization was very backward, it did not mean that there were no intelligent people. He knew very well that the Kingdom of Fire's policy was to completely erase the culture of the Moonslayers and assimilate them into the Knight system. In a few generations, no one would remember the Moonslayers.
However …
He did not object to this policy. He had already become a noble of the Knight system, and it was fine as long as his family benefited. Who cared if the Moonslayers lived or died?
… …
Liszt felt the burden on his shoulders lighten after Emily became a Dragon Knight.
The girl could represent him in suppressing the Blazing Isles, and she could also attend some diplomatic events. This way, Liszt would have more free time to go wherever he wanted.
"I'll leave the internal affairs to the Development Committee and the external affairs to Emily. How wonderful!"
He took the Fire Dragon Leo and rode the Invisible Dragon Bard to the marine laboratory on Anchor Island to meet up with A Qi.
Because Leo had the Fire Dragon Water to drink, he no longer needed to stay in the endless volcanoes to train all day. He could go back occasionally to harvest a wave of Volcano Supreme Demons. Now he was mainly responsible for fighting and developing a variety of fighting methods with Liszt to strengthen his strength.
"With a wingspan of 50 meters, Leo's strength is not much inferior to the Orichalcum Dragon Marta. It's hard to imagine how powerful he will be when he grows up with a wingspan of 100 meters."
Liszt often sighed with emotion at Leo's growth.
Elemental Dragons were mostly evil dragons because they were powerful and difficult to kill. But so far, apart from Leo, the three kingdoms had not produced another Fire Dragon. On the other hand, evil dragons such as Light Dragons, Earth Dragons, and Water Dragons had been clearly recorded. Most of them lived in wild forests.
As long as the evil dragons did not invade humans, the three kingdoms did not bother to form a dragon-slaying team to kill the evil dragons. The value of the evil dragons was not great.
First of all, they could not be ridden. Second, there were no resources to be produced. Third, the Supreme Demons would cause large-scale geographical disasters.
For example, there was a Magic Shooter who fought with the Wind Dragon and left behind a Wind Howling Valley. Other than Mages who went there to admire the Magic Shooter's footsteps, no one could live around it.
When Liszt rode the Fire Dragon, it was unknown how many people in the three kingdoms were jealous that he could conquer an Elemental Dragon from a young age. Although the Elemental Dragon did not produce resources, it was powerful enough to make people jealous. Unfortunately, it was useless for them to be jealous. Liszt rode the dragon one after another, shocking everyone.
The wind whistled.
Soon, they arrived at Anchor Island and saw the marine laboratory towering above the sea from afar. The Clown Fish Race built it day and night, and this laboratory was like a palace on the sea.
The base of the palace was a stone platform condensed by A Qi using the Earth Elemental Incarnation. The Clown Fish Race was responsible for carving and decorating it. They held bone tools, and their hands were Qilin arms. The speed at which they cut rocks was far faster than human serfs. It had to be said that these ugly, sloppy, low-intelligence creatures had a strong talent for construction.
"I must harvest the Mermaid's Heart. These Clown Fish Race are born to be the most suitable laborer. I must control the free labor of millions of laborers!"
