Every time he trained with the Grey Iron Dragon Ornn, Liszt could clearly feel that the force behind the threads of destiny was growing stronger.
“Destiny is indeed mysterious, but it is not elusive and can be captured; it also follows a trajectory that must be adhered to. While I may not yet understand what that trajectory is, by following this feeling and operating along the trajectory sensed by the Smoke Dragon, destiny becomes a sword in my hands!”
“Roar!”
Ornn let out a dissatisfied roar, reminding Liszt that when training with him, he should not be thinking of any other dragon.
Liszt did not argue, he just smiled slightly: “Understood, Ornn, let’s continue.”
He concentrated on training with Ornn. A day’s training brought him to an extremely proficient mastery of the world of the dragon’s spirit. Borrowing the power of destiny, he could guide the dragon’s spirit with ease and brand it much more quickly and effortlessly than any Dragon Knight.
As of today, there was no need for frequent training with Fire Dragon Leo and Formless Dragon Bard—after all, these two dragons had already “graduated” from the process of Mind Branding.
There was still not much progress with Mountain Copper Dragon Mata, Aluminum Dragon Connor, and Water Dragon Walter.
Therefore, he spent most of the time over an entire month with Ornn, while the rest was allocated to official duties. He presided over the Flame Kingdom’s transformation from a makeshift organization to a true kingdom, defining various laws and systems such as tax, judicial, and ceremonial law.
But this was only limited to Flame Island, where he was building a family-style fiefdom.
As one of the most powerful beings in the world, he did not have a great demand for central power. As a soul from Earth’s modern civilization, he was well aware that no nation could prosper forever.
However, a family could last for thousands of years; therefore, it sufficed for the Flame Family to continue uninterrupted.
During his reign, whether it was centralized power or knightly feudalism didn’t really matter—would his followers dare not obey his commands?

This day was already in March.
Liszt went for a visit to Ach’s Mage Tower, which had just been completed, located in the valley behind the Sun Moon Star Palace.
Ach could have conducted her experiments directly in the Sun Moon Star Palace, but after an explosion accident that damaged many rooms of the palace and killed several servants, Ach decided to move the laboratory out of the Sun Moon Star Palace and build it behind the mountain. There, an explosion at most could kill Magicians.
As for Ach herself, being the strongest Archmage in history, even a Dragon Knight couldn’t kill her, let alone a mere explosion.
“Brother, the connection between the Tree of Golden Apples and Bloodline Fruits has been studied and concluded; by activating a Magic Array, we can release the power of the Tree of Golden Apples to infect the surrounding plants and condense Bloodline Fruits. If the power of this segment of the Tree of Golden Apples is fully stimulated, it could probably condense over a hundred Bloodline Fruits,” explained Ach about her latest experimental results.
Initially, Liszt discovered a natural node on Phoenix Tree Island, with the natural node located in a large marsh, which he named Yunmeng Marsh. Six Bloodline Fruits grew from Yunmeng Marsh’s land, eventually leading him to dig out a segment of the Tree of Golden Apples—Ach had only recently found the time to research this segment of the Tree of Golden Apples.
“Then hurry and hand it over to the Royal Arcane Academy, set up a development team, and start with cultivation,” Liszt instructed Chris, who was following behind him. “Also, contact the Inner Cabinet and quickly select suitable livestock and Magical Beasts, ready to feed and evolve them once the Bloodline Fruits mature.”
Meat from Magical Beasts, like Magic Potions, was always scarce.
Reliant on the little amount of Magical Beast Meat from hunting, it was impossible to sustain so many Knights. Almost all the Nobles would collect Bloodline Fruits to attempt evolving their livestock into Magical Beasts. Those low-level Magical Beasts evolved through Bloodline Fruits might be significantly lacking in strength, but their nutritional value could be greatly increased.
The key is that they are easy to raise.
Li Si Te also needs a large amount of Magical Beast Meat to provide nutrition for his knights, but he has something even better than Magical Beast Meat—the meat of Dragon Breed Beasts.
Black Blood Treasured Horse, Banpo Cattle, and Estuary Pig were the earliest three kinds of Dragon Breed Beasts.
Today’s Banpo Cattle are already being raised in large numbers on the grasslands of Flame Island, with their milk exclusively supplied to Nobles and talented young Knights.
Estuary Pig meat has even become an indispensable exclusive food for the Burning Legion.
In addition, with the annual “climax” of the Formless Dragon Bard, it has already provided Li Si Te with a total of seventeen Space Gems, along with six new kinds of Dragon Breed Beasts—the Dragon Head Fish, Long-necked Goose, Woolly Sheep, Antlered Deer, Big-eared Elephant, and Alpaca.
Dragon Head Fish, common grass carp that endured the infection of dragon bloodline and magic power to transform, have exceptionally strong reproductive abilities and highly nutritious meat, with the largest individuals growing up to three meters, truly freshwater behemoths.
Long-necked Goose, ordinary geese that evolved after enduring bloodline infection and magic power, grew considerably in size to that of a small pony, with combat power comparable to ordinary Low-Level Magical Beasts. The entire body of a Long-necked Goose is nutritious, especially the eggs, which are large, numerous, and when pickled, are absolute delicacies.
Woolly Sheep, evolved from ordinary goats, have not yet expanded their population, but the wool is extremely dense and grows abundantly, making for extremely comfortable woolen fabric.
Antlered Deer, evolved from ordinary reindeer, have antlers like large trees and are considered highly nourishing substances.
Big-eared Elephant, evolved from ordinary elephants, have only evolved recently, with their population not yet expanded, only showing an increase in strength.
Alpaca, evolved from ordinary llama, have also only recently evolved, and their population has not yet expanded. Llamas are livestock for both meat and wool, so Alpacas should be able to realize even higher value for both purposes.
Just one dragon like Bard has brought Li Si Te a large number of Dragon Breed Beasts, and there will definitely be more in the future. Unfortunately, how the other dragons achieve a “climax” to release bloodline infection and magic power has not been figured out yet—even some dragons might never reach a “climax” in their lifetime.
“Your Majesty, please rest assured, Chris will complete the cultivation of the Bloodline Fruit as soon as possible.” Chris Truth, the First Archmage and the Dean of the Royal Magic Academy, nodded in response.
Li Si Te did not inquire further about this.
Instead, he turned to ask Ach, “What is your next research topic?”
“Didn’t big brother mention that he’s going to subdue new dragons? So Ach plans to study the Jade Dragon’s Hind Leg and try to explore the cultivation method of the Mind Fruit Tree, to stockpile more Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit for big brother.”
“Uh, then I’ll be waiting for your good news.”
…
Leaving the Mage Tower.
Li Si Te once again went to the Dragon Pit Great Mine, planning to train intensively with Ornn and striving to conquer his personal ninth dragon. However, just as he arrived at the Dragon Pit Great Mine riding the Formless Dragon Bard, he suddenly felt a mysterious fluctuation.
“It’s the Power of Destiny responding!”
He raised his eyebrows, having captured the source of this fluctuation: “It seems there’s a Greater Elf nearby waiting for me to harvest?” Just like the reminder of each Smoke Mission before, he can now clearly grasp exactly what kind of thing the Power of Destiny is guiding.
At this moment, it is a Greater Elf.
