Chapter 849 -0846: Where to Go Next (Fourth Update, Alliance Hierarch Additional Update 10/150)
The Elf arranged everything, just waiting for the plantation to be established to complete the task.
After returning from the Moon Slayer Native Holy Tribe, Liszt had basically relaxed his guard. When he rode the Formless Dragon around to patrol, he no longer deliberately hid his presence.
So far, Flame Island had not yet built a dock.
All the knights, craftsmen, serfs, and magicians who came could not leave due to their lack of capability. After all, the Great Whirlpool Magic Teleportation Matrix was a one-way teleportation array, and the fleet of Durt Red Apricot previously ran aground at the mouth of Whirlpool River, unable to return without resupply.
Thus, this large island hardly had any means of communication with the outside world, except for a strictly audited Magic Platform.
Not even trade with the nearby Tulip Archipelago was possible.
...
The Tulip Family had just secured a foothold on the island, and not even a small town had been established, so trade with Flame Island would have to wait a long time.
Therefore,
Even if the news of Liszt riding a dragon was exposed, it would only circulate within Flame Island.
“Kenley, President, this is the record of our interrogation of the Holy Tribe Listener. There are some doubts that need to be pointed out,” a magician walked into Kenley’s office to report.
Kenley, who was revising a new translation of the Moon Language, didn’t look up and said, “What doubts?”
“The Listener mentioned a dragon, saying they were sent here by a dragon, one that looks like crystal and can suddenly disappear,” the magician tried to describe more accurately. “It seems to be the dragon ridden by His Highness, but it doesn’t seem to be the same as Fire Dragon Leo. I don’t know if this Listener is lying.”
After listening, Kenley put down her goose quill, her expression suddenly serious, “Put Mansano aside; keep this record here with me. As for the dragon mentioned by the Listener, I will personally verify it with His Highness. You don’t need to worry about it. Also, do not discuss it privately.”
“Yes, President Kenley.”
Once the magician Mansano left, Kenley picked up the interrogation record, her gaze deepening, “His Highness sure has many secrets. This new dragon must be the Formless Dragon that Instructor Acherloides once mentioned idly,” Instructor was the title magicians used to address Acherloides.
Since Acherloides was both an Archmage and an Arcane Instructor, he held a revered status.
“Formless Dragon…” Kenley narrowed her eyes in thought. She had researched this and knew that the Formless Dragon was a legendary dragon from the Holy Dragon Order.

Capable of producing Space Rings.
Kenley had seen the rings on the hands of Liszt and Acherloides and guessed those were Space Rings; indeed, she had seen both men suddenly retrieving items. Therefore, she was convinced of the existence of the Formless Dragon and speculated that Acherloides’ Magic Door Project was rapidly progressing due to the mysterious powers of the Formless Dragon.
“Fire Dragon, Formless Dragon, this Dragon Knight hailing from a small island country might truly be the Son of Glory those knights hailed… The age of magicians has long since passed, the Magic Web has withered, Dragon Knights are the real rulers now… But what does that have to do with me? I just need to study magic!”
She chuckled slightly.
Kenley flipped open the interrogation record and began summarizing its content. Having traveled from the distant Steel Ridge Kingdom to Flame Island, what she sought was always magic, the Truth itself.
Secular power struggles and wars had nothing to do with her. Since becoming a magician, she no longer carried the surname “Magic Elephant” but took on the surname “Truth.”
…
Not only Kenley had guessed the existence of the Formless Dragon. Many knights had also speculated about it.
During the capture of the Moon Slayer Natives en route, the Knight Order took a short rest. Two knights went away to relieve themselves—every knight who landed on Flame Island had developed good sanitation habits and no longer relieved themselves indiscriminately.
“I have seen His Highness riding different dragons!”
“I had known for some time. I remember when we first crossed the Great Whirlpool Magic Teleportation Array, while we were transporting goods on the large ship, I heard that dragon’s roar… I heard it very clearly. It was a ‘woo-ee-yah,’ shrill, piercing, and yet awe-inspiring.”
“I also remembered the immense Dragon Might!”
“But what dragon was it?”
“I don’t know.”
“In any case, His Highness is the Son of Glory who is eternally favored by the Knight’s Honor, this is beyond doubt. As long as we closely follow His Highness’ lead, we will eventually become nobles of glory!”
Unbeknownst to them, not far away, the leader of the Knight Order, Cross Thorn, was also relieving himself. Moments later, Cross returned to the Knight Order and started a conversation with another leader, Durt Red Apricot, “I just heard some knights discussing His Highness’ dragons.”
“Are they discussing how many dragons His Highness has?” Durt replied in the still somewhat awkward Serpent Script. Even in private, these knights from the Eagle Kingdom, accustomed to speaking Wind Language, had started speaking Serpent Script at Liszt’s insistence.
“That’s right.”
“A knight’s curiosity about dragons never wanes, but it’s not just them; we are just as curious.”
“Yes, who would have thought that His Highness not only has one dragon but owns two dragons, and with Lord Acherloides added, the future power of the Flame Country will be extraordinarily formidable.”
“That’s why there is a saying in my hometown—don’t mourn a lost dog, it might come back with another. We were captured in the high seas, who could know that we were not abandoned by the Knight’s Honor, but rather deeply cared for by it.”
As Durt spoke, he glanced at Cross: “Especially you, having traversed the Great Whirlpool Magic Teleportation Array once and being gloriously promoted from Viscount to Earl. If your former colleagues knew, they would be green with envy.”
Cross smiled proudly: “His Highness is generous, following him is my honor!”
…
While some secretly rejoiced at Liszt having multiple dragons, others frowned deeply.
Blue Dragon Island, Azure Sky Peak Palace.
The temples of the Sapphire Duke were already graying, aging faster than one could imagine. He was now looking sternly at Crown Prince Anthony: “Is what Angela said true?”
“It shouldn’t be false. Meioubao, after getting drunk, personally admitted that Liszt owns three dragons, among them are confirmed the Fire Dragon and the Light Green Gemstone Dragon lost by the Eagle Kingdom. As for the third dragon, Meioubao is not sure, and we couldn’t get anything out of Marquis Mesiro.”
“The Mesiro may be untalented and not outstanding in character, but he has inherited the astuteness of the Long Taro Family; Angela is not skilled enough to get information out of him.” The Duke tapped the table. “Angela did a great service by sending this information to our family. When her birthday comes, send a Greater Elf over.”
“Father, is it necessary to send a Greater Elf?” Anthony was somewhat reluctant; even for a family that reared dragons, Greater Elves were not in abundance.
The Duke sighed. “Do you think the Greater Elf is only a reward? It signifies the goodwill of the Sapphire Family… I have studied Liszt for a long time, despite his youth, he should not be viewed as a young man. He is purposeful in his actions, each move targeted.”
If Liszt knew his haphazard intents were praised so highly by the Duke, he would probably blush with embarrassment.
His actions were never that calculated.
Of course, releasing the news about the three dragons was intentional… the Duke’s words were not an exaggeration.
“I suspect that the news about the Light Green Gemstone Dragon and the three dragons was deliberately released by Liszt using the Long Taro Family, and Meioubao’s drunken words were likely orchestrated by Mesiro.” Pausing for a moment, the Duke leaned back into his chair, his face lined with deep wrinkles, “Anthony, what do you think the Sapphire Family should do next?”
