The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 1069 - 1066 Continental Outline

“Once the twins are born, I plan to ask Father to send Richard to the Sun Moon Star Palace. First, to accompany Father, since as Prime Minister of the Outer Cabinet, he spends more time residing at the Flame King City than at Tulip Castle. Second, it would also allow him to start training with the Burning Legion knights sooner.”

“Is that necessary, Loria? Richard is only four years old. When I was his age, I was still peeing and playing with mud in the castle garden.”

“Yes!”

Loria insisted, and even announced her decision during the castle’s evening dinner.

Lady Marie, not being Liszt’s biological mother, did not comment.

But Lady Penelope approved greatly, “Loria’s decision is very wise. Although I am sad to see Little Richard leave Tulip Castle, at the Sun Moon Star Palace, he will always be basking in Liszt’s glory. Little Richard is incredibly fortunate to have a Dragon Knight uncle.”

“Grandmother, it’s just basic knight training. Do you think I can’t teach him? I’m a Sky Knight after all.”

“How can a Sky Knight compare to a Dragon Knight? Liszt, you’re already thirty years old and still just a regular-level Sky Knight. Don’t you see that?”

Lady Penelope glanced at Liszt, who had once been her favorite grandson, but now her eyes mostly held Liszt.

“Cough, cough!”

Liszt coughed awkwardly.

He wanted to say that being a thirty-year-old Sky Knight wasn’t a poor achievement. However, given his grandmother’s comparison with Liszt, a legendary Dragon Knight as radiant as the sun, he couldn’t reply—every young prodigy in the northeastern corner of the Legendary Continent lived in Liszt’s shadow.

Essentially, Liszt was an existence that defied normal understanding.

Seeing this, Loria smiled and said, “Let’s ask Father’s opinion once we reach Flame King City. At four, Richard is already capable of living away from his parents.” While she mentioned consulting Li Weiliam, everyone knew Loria had already made up her mind.

Levis shrugged his shoulders.

He actually understood Loria’s thoughts and knew that doing so would help Richard, but he felt that Richard, being only four years old, was too young.

However, turning his head and glancing at his son, who sat like a little adult, he inexplicably thought that this might not be a bad thing—Loria’s strict discipline on Richard was severe, hardly allowing him to play like a normal child and starting to instill noble etiquettes and the Controlling Path from the age of two.

Such a childhood, when pondering, was terrifying.

So, speaking with the tone of the heir of the Tulip Family, he said assertively, “The day after tomorrow, I will take Richard to inspect the construction of the estates across the lands. You all stay in the Castle to pack, and we will depart for Flame King City in three days.”

…

The nation had not long been founded, and many tasks demanded attention.

During a busy interval, Liszt received an unexpected new message via the Magic Platform from the six Mermaids who had circumnavigated the sea.

“Your Majesty, we have started our return journey from the westernmost point of the Legendary Continent, and we have packaged and sent back to the Magic Guild the coastline position data calculated by the Sextant… I apologize for the delays over the scheduled year of circumnavigation however, although we haven’t discovered more Mermaids, we have captured many Elves, including two Greater Elves.”

The Magic Platform message was long and had been transcribed onto paper by a communication Arcanist.

Liszt continued reading, “We have discovered several relics of the Sea Kingdom. Unfortunately, these are from the far past, and the Naga and Yu Chou have long vanished… In the westernmost sea of the Legendary Continent, we even encountered a legendary Sea Monster—the Hydra. It was too powerful for us to capture.”

The Mermaids reported their experiences of circumnavigating the sea over the year in an informal style.

Not many useful bits of information were relayed, just the discovery of the Sub-dragon—Hydra—and the coastline Sextant Positioning, along with the Elves worth paying attention to.

“Reply to the Mermaids, instruct them to end their voyage as soon as possible, and bring the Elves back,” Liszt ordered after reading the message, “Also, send the results of the estate division among Duke Bluposi and the six Marquises of the Kingdom.” He disliked having to urge the Mermaids to hasten their return to work, but it was necessary to admonish them of the appropriate attitude.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” replied the communication Arcanist, bowing before swiftly exiting.

After dealing with urgent official duties, Liszt quickly made his way to the Mage Tower to inquire about the progress of mapping the Legendary Continent’s coastline.

“Chris, have you received the Sextant Positioning data sent by the Mermaids, and have you finished creating the map?”

“Your Majesty, a rough sketch has already been drawn,” Chris indicated the Arcanist in charge of map drawing, who spread a large map across the table.

The map was substantial, yet it featured only an incomplete outline, with a small portion containing detailed records.

“So this is the Legendary Continent…” Liszt observed the map, where the drawn coastline shaped the Legendary Continent into an irregular form, with a large segment of the northern part lacking a coastline as the Mermaids had not yet traveled there.

With the main contours of the Legendary Continent sketched, it clearly compared the geographical position and area of the three great Kingdoms in the northeastern corner of the continent.

“The three great Kingdoms combined only equal one-twentieth of the entire area of the Legendary Continent. Indeed, it’s merely an inconspicuous corner… Flame Islands are here, Sapphire Archipelago is here… and from this view, the Eagle Kingdom is completely surrounded by Steel Ridge, Blast Furnace Fortress, and Yellowstone Plains.”

“Once those three Kingdoms are managed, annexing them would be as easy as pie!”

Staring at the extensively blank map, Liszt was already imagining how he would conquer it—as his power would eventually not allow him to remain low-profile, the conquest of the Legendary Continent had gradually moved from fantasy to practical planning.
