Chapter 1078 -1075: Royal Blue
Under the Royal Arcane Academy, there is a Magic Laboratory named “Nature’s Source,” which does not employ a system of chief arcanists but rather resembles a scientific research institute.
The Nature’s Source Laboratory focuses on the development of Magic Plants, further divided into multiple research groups. Magic Beans, Magic Wheat, Magic Melons, Magic Eggplants, Magic Peppers, Magic Ginseng, Magic Lotus Root, Magic Tangerines, Magic Pears, Magic Sunflowers, Transforming Trees—each type of Magic Plant has a corresponding group dedicated to researching how to cultivate them.
Depending on the environmental needs of different Magic Plants, the Nature’s Source Laboratory has branch laboratories in many cities of Flame Island and has planned specialized plantations.
Even on Black Horse Island in the Sapphire Duchy, there are branch laboratories of Nature’s Source—housing several early-cultivated types of Magic Plants.
However, since the cultivation of Magic Plants began four to five years ago, not a single fruit has been harvested.
Magic Plants are cultivated from large trees through Natural Magic. Even Magic Beans, a leguminous Magic Plant, grow into trees similar to fruit trees. This process requires ten years to initially bear fruit; after another ten years, the yield of the Magic Bean tree gradually increases; it is not until forty years later that it enters a period of abundant fruiting.
Theoretically, during the period of abundant fruiting, a single Magic Bean tree can produce fifty thousand pounds of Magic Beans endowed with Magic Power annually, and a Magic Bean tree can live for over a hundred years.
It is unknown if the Moon Empire relied on such Magic Plants for food, but the Sun Empire of Mafa Continent certainly consumes Magic Plant food—the magicians of Mafa Continent have likely all evolved into Druids, which is a significant difference from those of Legendary Continent.
Unfortunately, theory is just theory. The cultivation of Magic Beans in the Flame Kingdom grows even slower than expected, seemingly poorly adapted to the local environment. The Magic Beans on Black Horse Island, cultivated for four to five years, have barely grown into crooked saplings, let alone large trees.
The same goes for other Magic Plants.
Originally, when Ach discovered the growth cycle of Magic Plants, Liszt felt disheartened—depending on Magic Plants for food, he would be over fifty or sixty years old.
However, when the Flame Kingdom started preparing for nation-building, aiming to create a foundation for eternity, coupled with the magicians’ enthusiasm for Natural Magic, he began to vigorously support Magic Plant research again. The Nature’s Source Laboratory was established under these conditions, initially integrated and separated from the Magic Guild and recently placed under the Royal Arcane Academy.
“Magic Plant cultivation cannot do without arcanists. Ordinary arcanists are inefficient in planting, and it is most appropriate for specialized Druids to farm… I wonder if after connecting with Mafa Continent, we could find some descendants of the Child of the Sun, and develop a specialized farming race.”
The existing clues seem to indicate that the descendants of the Child of the Sun on Mafa Continent might have become extinct.
Old Tanner Fi’el from Tanners’ Shop, although forced by arcanists to reproduce, resulting in numerous Sun Descendants being added to the territory, still, the growth and branching out of these Sun Descendants will take a long time.
Leaning on the back of Grey Iron Dragon Ornn, Liszt remarks while looking around the dense forest, “A thousand years is too long; seize every minute and second!”
…
The journey with Ornn is not in a rush.
According to the memories provided by Ornn, it was initially born on the western side of Eagle Kingdom, approximately at the border with Blast Furnace Fortress Kingdom. Most memories from its youth are vague, not knowing where it came from. But before it came of age, it met the then Marquis, who was the First Duke of Iron Grey—Piok Er Qiao Mulan.
Er Qiao Mulan is a type of flower.
It is worth mentioning that after the downfall of Grey Iron Duchy, Duke Pierrot changed his surname to Grey Iron. His son, Pifort, led the family back to Eagle Kingdom, initially claiming to change the surname to “Fallen Iron,” but King Adonis of the Eagle Kingdom disagreed, thinking that neither Pierrot’s family nor Pifort’s should have any more connections with the Grey Iron Dragon.
Therefore, Pifort restored the surname Er Qiao Mulan.
The First Duke of Iron Grey was far more charismatic than his descendants.
A young man who became a Completion Level Sky Knight, then encountering the Grey Iron Dragon Ornn, which was stealthily hunting for food, experienced love at first sight just like between individuals, as did Ornn and Piok, and not long after, amidst a tug of war, completed the Mind Battle.
The story did not have many hardships, no heroic dragon rescues, life-or-death separations, or sacrificing lives for justice kind of grand scenes.
But Piok and Ornn lived freely, traveling everywhere, fighting, until their later years when they finally established Grey Iron Duchy.
Shortly after Piok Er Qiao Mulan passed away, Ornn became the “Ash King”, guarding the Grey Iron Duchy.
“This dragon values companionship; a spontaneous journey proves more effective than any deliberate effort.” Sensing that the knot in Ornn’s heart was beginning to loosen, he couldn’t help but observe and summarize—he had never given up on creating the “Liszt’s Dragon Knight Training Complete Manual”.
Different dragons require different training methods.
If one is an ordinary Dragon Knight, only by finding the most perfect training method can one achieve completion. He generally relies on external forces to achieve perfection, being so willful under the care of the Power of Destiny. However, for the sake of his descendants to be able to ride dragons smoothly, it is still necessary to summarize the experience.
“Roar!” Ornn let out a coquettish roar, indicating it wanted to take some drugs.
“I don’t have any Red Dragon Water, only some ordinary Magic Potions; make do with these,” Liszt said, pulling out an ordinary Magic Potion and tossing it to Ornn.
Ornn swallowed the Magic Potion, uttering a joyful roar, and didn’t complain about it not being Red Dragon Water.

For him, the Magic Potions and such were secondary; the ability to travel the world with his own Knight was already enough—focusing on spiritual rather than material experiences.
So.
Heading west.
Upon reaching the former Grey Iron Duchy, which had been dissolved and reintegrated into the Eagle Kingdom, entering Ornn’s familiar environment, Liszt’s figure in its inner world had become fully clear, solidifying into tangible existence.
Which means.
The knot was untangled, the Mind Branding was successful, and at this moment Liszt officially became a Completion Level Grey Iron Dragon Knight.
At the same time, feeling the Threads of Destiny swirling about him, one of them suddenly sparkled. Concentrating on this Thread of Destiny, he quickly managed to sense its source, leading to a dragon, a dragon that awaited him.
“This is the Power of Destiny, going with the flow, one can enjoy the fruits of success.”
He stopped paying attention to the powers of Destiny and reconnected spiritually with Ornn: “Let’s go, Ornn, I feel that there is a dragon far away, waiting to join the Flame Kingdom.”
“Roar!”
Ornn was a bit displeased; it didn’t like Liszt thinking about other dragons at this moment.
However, the Mind Branding was already successful; no matter how unhappy it was, it couldn’t resist Liszt’s decision. Flapping its wings, it soared into the sky, heading to the southwest, towards the Wild Forest under Liszt’s direction.
The terrain shifted from plains to mountains.
The terrain grew increasingly rugged, with raging rivers and towering peaks, as if flying into vast mountains. Various Magical Beasts of birds circled in midair, and the dense forest emitted dense bursts of Magic Power feedback, illuminating this paradise of Magical Beasts, undisturbed by humans.
“Do you see it, Ornn!”
“Roar!”
“It’s right there, just behind that Snow Mountain; over that, and you’ll see it. I’m feeling it more and more clearly—it’s a beautiful Gemstone Dragon… robust magic power, strengthening its power, this sensation… yes, it’s the Royal Sapphire Dragon!”
