Chapter 687: Chapter 0684: Surname of the Light Sword (Third Update, Celebrating 10,000 Coins Reward 1/2)

This chapter is a reward update from “Guo Ge Ta Die”.

————

Thorn Castle had already begun constructing its second floor and was bound to be entirely completed within the year.

After visiting Thorn Castle with Ach, night had already fallen, and the chefs of the port town prepared a lavish banquet. The main officials of Black Horse Island and the Elite Earth Knights had almost all attended tonight’s banquet.

The reason was simple.

Tonight was a banquet where Liszt introduced Ach to everyone, making it clear to the people of the territory who Ach was to prevent misunderstandings later on.

No matter how the officials and knights speculated, the fact that Lord Landlord had gained a sister was established.

Over the next three days, Ach spent time researching clothing storage magic with vampires like Mary and organizing a batch of magic experiments for Chris to study. When it came to anything related to magic, Liszt essentially entrusted it all to Ach and Chris and no longer worried about it.

He also stopped fussing over magic books — really, he was too scared from being pressured to update — the Earl almost sent a messenger knight every day to inquire if “The Sky Chronicle of Liszt” was finished.

Nobody used to rush him, and writing was a form of relaxation, a pleasure, a sophisticated sentiment.

However, once pressured, writing became a burden and lost all its fun.

He preferred practicing the Dragon Knight Resonance with Leo, soaring through the sky observing everything in the world from a dragon’s perspective, the myriad colors, the trajectories. Both the man and the dragon were rapidly growing, feeling their strength improving at all moments — even Leo could now cross the sea between Coral Island and Black Horse Island.

In the past, Leo was too young and exhausted after flying just over a hundred kilometers.

But now it could effortlessly traverse the sea, although it still couldn’t cross distances of more than five hundred kilometers without finding a place to rest and recuperate — dragons were indeed miraculous and powerful, but their consumption was also huge, especially since the young dragon was constantly condensing high mana into superior magic, often getting hungry.

When it became an adult dragon and had completely condensed its superior magic, its stamina would likely increase significantly.

Besides flying, most of Liszt’s practice with Leo was dedicated to studying “Dragon Dou Qi Secret Manual”, preparing to develop a set of Dou Qi secrets exclusive to Dragon Knights.

Currently, “Dragon Dou Qi Secret Manual” was still without a clear path; they were only repeatedly practicing Dou Qi secrets like “Rising Sun Blaze”. The aim was to understand the flow of magic power within Leo’s body in the process of continuously releasing Dou Qi secrets, and then use this knowledge to rationally design new moves.

Busy every day, having just acquired Dragon Knight’s power, Liszt didn’t want to waste a single second.

Just like Ach was constantly adapting to the power of an Archmage.

Even Paris had started to control her new body, which lacked the High Mana of the Light Dragon, attempting to re-practice magic, and Liszt directly suggested she try to practice both Dou Qi and magic, taking the path of a Light Magic Swordsman.

“You can only practice light system magic for magic, and for Dou Qi, you can only practice light attribute Dou Qi. Although the power of the Light Dragon has been driven out, your body has transformed, allowing you to refine only light attribute Dou Qi and absorb light attribute magic power. However, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it might even be a good thing.”

“Lord, can I regain my previous strength?” she asked.

“Yes,” Liszt replied affirmatively, “the upper limit of your power has clearly increased, and your future could be even more dazzling. Perhaps you could become the first person who is both a Grand Magician and a Sky Knight, the Light Magic Swordsman—once you surpass yourself, I will bestow upon you a new surname.”

Paris asked curiously, “What surname?”

“Sword, Paris Sword.”

It was not uncommon to take swords as surnames. For example, Alvin Eagle Sword, the only Iron Knight of Black Horse Island, was named after a sword. However, Paris’s “Sword” seemed to be named after a sword when in fact it referenced a profession—her profession was the entirely new Light Magic Swordsman.

“Paris Sword…” The former mercenary girl gripped her greatsword tightly, her fighting spirit rekindling, “Lord, I will definitely earn the ‘Sword’ surname!”

“I believe in you.”

Liszt smiled, a smile that felt like a warm spring breeze.

Paris couldn’t help but momentarily lose herself in obsession, perhaps it was such smiles that had originally pulled her darkened heart back into the light.

…

Time flew by.

Only one day remained until the Earl’s promotion to Marquis celebration banquet.

The Tulip Castle’s messenger knight had arrived at Fresh Flower Town early to inform Liszt, “Viscount, Lord Landlord hopes that you can head to Fresh Flower Town today. Many guests, including your uncle’s family, have already arrived at the Tulip Castle.”

“I understand.”

If it had been any other guests, Liszt wouldn’t have bothered, no matter whether they were great nobles or minor nobles. In a few years, they would belong to two different nations, with no value in communication—he was someone who naturally avoided social interactions, preferring the silence and solitude of his heart even when he could out-noble any noble.

However, it would be improper not to go when the Mesiro Taro family had arrived.

He soon set off for Fresh Flower Town, ready to have a good chat with his uncle’s family. By the time he reached Tulip Castle, the already bustling castle boiled with excitement as all the nobles stood to welcome him, waiting at the grand entrance to meet the second strongest person in the Grand Duchy.

“Father.”

Liszt, accustomed to grand occasions, didn’t feel the slightest bit uneasy.

He first paid his respects to the Marquis of Bull Tail, then upon seeing his uncle Mesiro Taro, he bowed again and greeted, “Uncle, Aunt, Cousin Mei Oubo, Princess Angela, welcome to Tulip Castle.” He still carried out the noble etiquette as a member of the Tulip family, implying that he had not separated from the family.

It may be strange to some, that a minor noble, upon obtaining a Little Minor Elf, would sever ties from the family, yet Liszt, now a renowned figure of the Sapphire, had not done so.

Yet no one raised any objections.

“Liszt, your elegance surpasses even that of your time in the Eagle Kingdom,” laughed Mesiro heartily, firmly clapping Liszt’s shoulder, his expression filled with pride—his nephew truly brought honor to him. Having such a relative boosted the confidence of the Taro family.

Cousin Mei Oubo was especially excited, “It hasn’t been long since we last met, yet you’ve become the Son of Glory of the Sapphire, truly enviable.”

Princess Angela also commented, “Having such a powerful knight like you is the glory of our nation.”

Liszt responded with a smile.

Afterward, with the introduction of the Marquis of Bull Tail, he greeted other nobles, both familiar and unfamiliar. He was neither too arrogant nor too humble, maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor with a sense of aloof superiority—even as a Dragon Knight who stood above others, he still upheld a worldview of equal treatment for all.

He did not see any difference between nobles and commoners.

He did not believe that noble blood was inherently noble, or that commoner blood was inherently base. Give commoners more meat, and they too could produce talented knights; his youngest follower, Emily, was a super genius born from commoners. If it came down to it, these nobles were no different from lowly ants in the presence of his Dragon Knight status.

After making a round of greetings.

Receiving countless flatteries, everyone at last returned to the castle’s drawing room, ushered by the Marquis of Bull Tail. Liszt, disliking crowded gatherings, directly took Cousin Mei Oubo to the Marquis’s study for a chat.

“Cousin, have you received the formula I sent you?”

“I have received it and have asked the Grand Magician to prepare it according to the formula. By the time I return, the potion should be ready,” said Mei Oubo, then with a mix of trust and skepticism, he asked, “This… potion can really stimulate the vitality of the minors in the body?”

“It shouldn’t be false. Cyrille wouldn’t dare to deceive me. Since he offered the potion formula to me, it means that it is indeed effective.”

“I really hope so, sigh, I’ve been under too much pressure lately.”

“Don’t be nervous, relax. The more anxious you are about having children, the more likely things will go against your wishes. Take the potion, persist in consuming the medicinal herbs and food I’ve sent you, and conceiving a child won’t be too far off,” advised Liszt, before asking, “How’s grandfather’s health?”

“So-so, sometimes good, sometimes bad. But grandfather’s in high spirits, believing that living one more day is like earning an extra day. He misses you a lot, and also Levis and Li Vera.”

“I miss grandfather too, and have always intended to find time to visit him, but have been delayed by various matters. After my father’s celebration, I will head to Red Crab Island with you all.”

“Hmm, grandfather will be very happy to see you.”
