Chapter 1028: Chapter 1025: Beast Taming Contract

Walter was dissatisfied, but since Liszt had already decided and had given it a batch of magic potions as a reward, it had no choice but to accept the fact that it had to keep company with the little flea Pike.

“My cutie, I’ll take good care of you, and the handsome Pike will like you just as much as he likes himself,” grinned the Giant Algae Greater Elf, his smile unsettling.

“Yoho!” Walter glared, trying to frighten Pike.

Without the elf pact, Pike wouldn’t even have taken a second glance at Liszt, let alone be intimidated by Walter’s glare. Cheerfully flying onto Walter, Pike touched Walter’s scales, wantonly feeling the essence of the Water Dragon.

“What a lovely Water Dragon you are, Walter. The handsome Pike likes you!”

“Yoho!” The Little Water Dragon threw its head back in an angry yet desolate posture, but in truth, it couldn’t even sense Pike’s existence—the Greater Elf was simply too small for it.

However, when it closed its eyes, Pike’s face flooded its mind, sending it into a frenzy.

Therefore, it could only choose to divert its attention by cramming magic potions: “Yoho!” It told Liszt, busy with his own amusement, that the supply of magic potions had to be doubled, otherwise there would be a rebellion.

Liszt maintained his smile, paying no mind to the Little Water Dragon.

“Your Majesty, you truly are a great human king blessed with favor. Is this a Water Dragon? Such a marvelous creature. Its powerful and oppressive superior magic can be felt emanating from it.” Mermaid Salty Sea Marquis Blue Posey hurried over and spoke in admiration.

“Dragons, after all, represent the pinnacle of power. The Little Water Dragon Walter will make Mermaid City its Dragon Nest from now on. Blue Posey, the design of the Dragon Nest will be your responsibility.”

“Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Inviting a dragon to reside in Mermaid City is a fortune for all mermaids.”

“When providing for Little Water Dragon Walter, you must keep Yu Chou in check. Walter isn’t like Mountain Copper Dragon Mata; it belongs to the Evil Dragon series and has a very unfriendly temper.”

“I will control Yu Chou. Even if Yu Chou gets eaten by Walter, it won’t be a big deal. With the Source of Vitality Potion, these Yu Chou are reproducing new little Yu Chou every day. Their fertility is so strong, it’s as if we’re back to the ocean before it was polluted by the Cursed Dragon. Back then, it’s said that every year there had to be organized mass combats among Yu Chou to control their numbers.”

Yu Chou belonged to an intelligent species, but in the eyes of merfolk, these Yu Chou were just a group of reproductive, lowly slaves, devoid of any dignity an intelligent race should have.

In fact, the Naga were treated the same. In the eyes of merfolk, the Naga were also an inferior race.

Merfolk were only friendly towards humans, as they believed the human form represented a higher civilization. Judging by appearance has always been a pastime for higher intelligent species. Now seeing Little Water Dragon Walter, Blue Posey too had a dazzled fascination in his eyes, almost yearning to rush over for a touch.

This prompted Walter to let out a continuous “Yoho!” It really wanted to eat this mermaid, considering it a great nourishment.

…

Leaving Little Water Dragon Walter behind.

Liszt left the exploring to Ach, as he himself currently had no clues and could only hope that Ach might discover something.

Then.

He mounted the Formless Dragon Bard, tearing directly through the material boundary, and reached the wilderness south of Firm Earth—the former habitat of the Aluminum Dragon. There was a brass ore deposit here that couldn’t be mined at the moment, but he wasn’t here to mine, nor was he planning to meet up with the migration team.

Instead, he was preparing to head towards Fertile Lands, attempting to find Nimia the Giant Lion.

As for the Light Dragon that was part of the original plan, there was no intention to ride it for now—a mature Light Dragon wasn’t an easy adversary to deal with. Besides, Maple Leaf Duchy was located between Eagle Kingdom and Steel Ridge Kingdom, and snatching the Light Dragon would be too revealing without proper preparation, so it wasn’t wise to move on it.

The Light Dragon was right there, unclaimed and ready to ride at any time.

He reserved the Light Dragon as a precaution against assassination.

Yet, after the failed assassination, Emperor Jupiter surely, as Lerald·Truth said, would not let it go and was bound to seek revenge. However, the King of Shadows was already dead, the Archmage had defected to the Flame Kingdom, and the Shattered Crystal Blade became Liszt’s personal sword.

That mirror-like equipment, capable of detecting Superior Magic—titled “Magic Weaving Compass”—had also fallen into Liszt’s hands. It could weave the trails of Superior Magic in its vicinity onto the compass, a very powerful detection divine artifact, especially effective against dragons.

And another piece of equipment, the Light of Confinement Magic Staff, meant to lock down space, was damaged.

One could say Emperor Jupiter was initially confident in his assassination attempt on Liszt, but now he had lost his wife and his troops, his bottom line completely stripped away. He definitely wouldn’t send another assassin after Liszt any time soon—gathering such a luxurious assassination team wasn’t easy.

In short.

Liszt enjoyed safety during this period. In the northeastern corner of the Legendary Continent, he was invincible as long as he kept a low profile; no one could harm him.

“The Fertile Lands are still a thousand kilometers further south. I hope Nimia the Giant Lion hasn’t spent this time sleeping in the mud… Otherwise, it won’t be easy to find.”

Yet, his words turned out to be prophetic.

Fate did not favor him over these few days; after three days and nights searching within the Fertile Lands, he found no traces of Superior Magic.

There were no traces of High Magic either.

If Nimia had not left the Fertile Lands, then it was certainly sleeping underground—high-level dragon beasts, magical beasts, and such creatures did not hunt every day. Sometimes, they slept for ten days to half a month.

Liszt could not afford to wait here.

After searching for three days without success, he directly tore through the material boundary and traveled back to his domain. As soon as he returned, good news reached him. Ach, while preparing to initiate research on the Bastion, had accidentally developed another special kind of magical result—a magical contract designed after Hundred Birds Toward The Phoenix.

This contract was originally suggested by Liszt in the hope of creating a bridge for communication between knights and their magical beast mounts.

Ach gathered a group of Grand Magicians to study this, not expecting much, but they met with unexpected success.

“Brother, this contract has been tested by knights and has proven to indeed establish mental communication between the knight and magical beast. Their souls can connect through a special frequency,” he said. “Although mental communication at close range is rather vague, the knight and magical beast can still influence each other.”

“Similar to knights and elves?”

“Somewhat, though the contract’s power is weaker since it lacks compulsion. The magical beast must be familiar with the knight to establish the contract, and if the magical beast resists, the contract may even break… Additionally, magicians can also use the contract to communicate with magical beasts.”

“Magicians too? So, is it suitable for all magical beasts?”

“It has to be a magical beast of a certain intelligence level. It’s difficult to successfully contract insect-like magical beasts with minimal intelligence. Knights can’t build rapport with such beasts; no matter how well you treat an insect magical beast, it won’t return feelings, making a contract impossible.”

Although it wasn’t universally applicable to all magical beasts.

Liszt stroked his chin, still approving of this research breakthrough: “Its application range will be broad. So, let’s call this contract the ‘Beast Taming Contract’. With this contract, it will no longer be difficult for knights to tame a magical beast to become their mount.”

A fitting name, expressive and elegant.
