The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 763 - 0760: The Course of History (First Update)

Chapter 763: Chapter 0760: The Course of History (First Update)

As the saying goes, if you haven’t eaten pork, haven’t you at least seen a pig run? Before transmigrating, Li Si Te was not a scientific researcher but just an ordinary office worker.

However, he had some understanding of scientific experiments and knew that data collection was a very important part of the experimental process for scientists. Moreover, it was necessary to establish a reference system and compare information time and again, in order to produce valuable results, such as Mendel’s pea plant experiments.

The laws of nature have always been there; the difference lies in whether or not you can discover them.

Although the magicians of the Legendary Continent were all intelligent, they lacked good experimental habits; coupled with the secrecy of their inheritance, they preferred to conduct their secret little experiments. Without systematic operational schemes, detailed experimental records, or even reproducibility, their methods were unstructured.

Thus, the flourishing magical civilization of the Moon Empire quickly declined after the contraction of the Magic Web.

In the process of teaching Ach magic, Liszt instilled in her many scientific experimental methods, among which the most important was data collection. Whether researching elves or dragons, without collecting enough information, relying on imagination was meaningless.

For instance, researching elves—information provided by a single elf is too little, but with information from hundreds of elves, many secrets about elves would naturally be revealed.

The secrets revealed during the evolution of a single elf might be few.

By continuously recording and collecting data on more and more elf evolutions, one could definitely discover valuable clues and thereby unravel the essence of elf evolution.

“Jela’s body is very healthy, all its physiological characteristics are highly active. Through the sensing of the Magic Web, the magic radiation it emits is getting closer and closer to that of a Greater Elf. It should be able to evolve successfully soon,” Ach led Lucy and Ruth, constantly recording and collecting the data.

Lucy and Ruth, the twin Magic Apprentices, were initially recommended by Liszt to Chris, but the two girls indeed demonstrated a strong talent for magic and have already been commandeered by Ach as laboratory assistants.

The main reason being that Chris was too busy and did not have time to be in the lab every day.

If the Magic Guild continues to grow and expand, Chris will likely have to transition into an administrative role; she won’t have time for experiments and magic practice. Of course, Chris herself is not a Magician with exceptional talent—Grand Magician is basically the end of her magic cultivation.

In this era of a weakening Magic Web, the difficulty of becoming an Archmage far exceeds that of becoming a Dragon Knight.

“Wow!”

Jela complained, clearly unhappy with the prodding and poking it just received from Ach, Lucy, and Ruth.

However, Lucy was unaware of this and said happily, “Your Highness, Jela is so cute, I really wish I could hug a Minor Elf every day.”

She still had the heart of a child.

In fact, she was a child, having lived in the countryside before the serf trade and in the Mage Tower after, without suffering much hardship.

On the other hand, Ruth, the younger sister, acted more maturely, “Lucy, don’t harbor such reckless fantasies, all elves are the private property of His Highness.”

This awareness was commendable; indeed, all the elves in the territory currently belonged to Liszt.

And they could only belong to Liszt. The Landlord had the right to dispose of everything produced on his lands, even if elves were nurtured on the fields leased out to peasants for cultivation—the elves still belonged to Liszt.

The two freckle-faced twins, one lively and innocent, the other mature and sensible, were both dearly liked by Liszt, “Learn magic well; the most important thing is to learn how to experiment. Only then can you become useful individuals and unlock more secrets of the Truth.”

Ruth replied like an adult, “Lucy and I will definitely study hard to become qualified Magicians, to work diligently for His Highness, and to repay His Highness for his nurturing.”

…

Nine o’clock in the morning.

Liszt, cradling Jela, arrived at the stone square specially designated for the Blizzard Beasts to flounder around.

Emily was already standing in the stone square, letting the snowflakes fall on her hair and shoulders, surrounded by the frolicking Blizzard Beasts.

Upon seeing Liszt, the Blizzard Beasts immediately lined up in formation under Douson’s command.

“Douson, come here.”

“Woof!”

“From now on, follow Emily for training and obey her commands.”

“Woof!” Douson seemed reluctant, but still obeyed Liszt’s orders, walked up to Emily, and turned his head to bark at the Eight Tiny Ones.

Suddenly, the Eight Tiny Ones also came to stand in front of Emily in formation.

“Emily, you can start training now.” Liszt stood on a rock, his Dragon Dou Qi surging around him, evaporating snowflakes before they could even get close.

“Yes, Your Highness!”

With Liszt’s presence, Emily’s subsequent training work went smoothly, following the training methods instructed by Liszt to continually synchronize with Douson and increase their understanding. Then, by leveraging Douson’s authority, she commanded the Eight Tiny Ones to follow her orders and thus harnessed the entire Blizzard Beast Squad.

Compared to Liszt’s carefree, spontaneous training of the Blizzard Beasts, Emily’s training was meticulous.

Or rather, Liszt’s training was like a master trying hard to train an Erha, whereas Emily’s training was akin to training a police dog. Sometimes Liszt had to admit that in terms of perseverance, diligence, talent, and attitude, he indeed fell short of geniuses like Emily.

If it weren’t for the Power of Destiny brought about by the Smoke Mission, his own achievements would definitely be limited.

“No wonder I was just a wage-earning office worker before my transmigration… Thankfully, after transmigrating, not only did I gain the Power of Destiny, but I also became so handsome.”

Liszt’s destiny was more about being propelled forward.

Just as an elder once said, “A person’s fate, ah, certainly depends on personal struggle, but also needs to consider the course of history.”

The Smoke Dragon chose Liszt, and Liszt respected its choice.

He reflected on everything he had done over the past three years and felt that he had done roughly three things in Fresh Flower Town: “First: integrate into the feudal landlord-knight system. Second: introduce scientific experimental theory into magic. Third: ride a few dragons. Of course, the Dragon Knight battle was significant too, and another aspect was the all-around development of new product trade.”

It was not earth-shattering, just a minor change, after all.

“Wah!”

Jela interrupted Liszt’s nostalgia for his youth, then, under Liszt’s gaze, it stuttered out, “Li…si…te…”

“Hmm?”

“Jela… wah!” After continuing to call out its own name, Jela burst into laughter, delighted. Its vocal cords were slowly developing, and at last, it could speak.

This also meant that it had basically completed its evolution from a Thorn Minor Elf into a Thorn Greater Elf.

The stone in Liszt’s heart finally dropped, and he couldn’t help but give Jela a thumbs up: “Well done, Jela!” Along with Jela’s evolution, the gains were not only an extra two hundred years of life but also the cultivation of Auxiliary Medicine Thorn on a larger scale, ensuring that the magic potion yield of his domain would surely double!
