The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 859 - 0856: Tree of Golden Apples (First Update)
Chapter 859: Chapter 0856: Tree of Golden Apples (First Update)
To verify whether the Knowledge Ancient Book was indeed as magical as it was said to be, Liszt then tried to touch it with various objects to see the interaction.
The Space Ring touched it.
A flash of light, a simple phrase in Moon Language appeared—Formless Dragon Gem, independent space.
The Eight Dragons God Sword touched it.
A flash of light, a simple phrase in Moon Language appeared—Elemental Dragon’s power, amplification of Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Light, Ice, and Dark Attributes.
The Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit touched it.
...
A flash of light, a simple phrase in Moon Language appeared—Jade Fruit, power of the Jade Dragon, heart of the lost dragon.
Liszt nodded slightly, “So the Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit was called Jade Fruit during the era of the Moon Empire, and the dragon leg I found was indeed from a Jade Dragon.”
The Sapphire Pendant touched it.
A flash of light, another simple phrase in Moon Language appeared—Sapphire, power amplification.
He then touched it with an unpolished Golden Pearl.
A flash of light, an even simpler phrase in Moon Language appeared—Water Attribute material.
“Is it just Water Attribute material? Isn’t there more to it?” Liszt was slightly dissatisfied with the appraisal of the Golden Pearl. He knew that the Golden Pearl was a Water Attribute material; any magician or knight could figure that out. The key was what the Golden Pearl was used for.
Retrieving the Golden Pearl, he took out a Phoenix Feather.
A flash of light, a simple phrase in Moon Language appeared—Phoenix Feather, Fire Attribute amplification.
“This description is clear, especially the term ‘Phoenix’ in Moon Language… It seems that during the era of the Moon Empire, the Flame Dragon Bird was already called Phoenix; perhaps the legend of the Phoenix also originated from the Moon Empire.”
He then took out a Bloodthirsty Bat Fang, which he had confiscated from the vampires of the Black Knight Family, a powerful accessory that assisted vampires in their cultivation. He originally planned to reward Mary Dawn Break with it for her achievements.
After the Magic Book made contact, a flash of light, a new phrase in Moon Language appeared—Altered Dark Attribute material.
“Hmm, this description is interesting—altered, Dark Attribute. It appears that there had been research on Blood Magic during the era of the Moon Empire, but like the Bloodthirsty Bat Fang, there’s not much more detail.”
On the next part of his journey,
Liszt continued to verify various objects. Items like telescopes and one-handed swords that lacked magic power changed the Knowledge Ancient Book’s usual inability to appraise, showing no reaction. For ordinary magical equipment and magic materials, it only provided simple introductions like “XX Attribute material.”
But for materials from Super Dragon Beasts or equipment made from dragon materials, it could clearly identify the original materials and even provide a partial description of their function.
“How should I put this,” Liszt appraised the Knowledge Ancient Book, “In terms of material identification, it indeed has great functionality and value beyond measure. But it’s limited to high-end materials. Identifying low-end materials isn’t very meaningful, and it’s a big step from the Great Encyclopedia I imagined.”
Of course, one couldn’t expect a special Magic Book to encompass all knowledge in the entire world.
As long as it could provide attribute identification for high-end materials, that alone was a precious rarity, not less valuable than a Divine Artifact like the Eight Dragons God Sword.
“Once I get back, I’ll bring the Time Scepter from Ach to appraise; I wonder what the Knowledge Ancient Book will reveal.”
Before long, Flame City was in sight. He signaled Dragon Bard to go rest and went straight to the Mage Tower to find Ach, who was busy.
“Ach, I’ve found something great!”
“What is it?”
“First, bring me the Time Scepter.”
Taking the Time Scepter from Ach, Liszt directly touched the Time Scepter to the surface of the Knowledge Ancient Book, and the next moment, light burst forth.
A string of Moon Language appeared—Twilight Dragon Gemstone and the Tree of Golden Apples, reflecting time.
Ach, already adept in the Moon Language, immediately translated the meaning, “Brother, is this text an introduction to the Time Scepter? The Time Diamond is the Twilight Dragon’s gemstone, and the scepter itself is crafted from the Tree of Golden Apples… Golden Apples are legendary treasures, do they truly exist?”
“Since the Knowledge Ancient Book has given a clear appraisal result, it means Golden Apples do exist!” Liszt now generally believed in the legends of this world—the difference lay not in whether the objects of legends existed, but whether the legends were exaggerated.
“Knowledge Ancient Book?”
“That’s this magical book here; it’s a Divine Artifact I found at the hand of the third statue. It can appraise high-end materials like those of dragons and give a general introduction to their properties.” Liszt pointed to the Moon Language in the book, “The material for this Time Scepter is the Twilight Dragon Gemstone and the wood from the Tree of Golden Apples, and its attribute is to reflect time.”
“What does ‘reflect time’ mean, brother?”
“I don’t know… In fact, it seems that using Magic Power to activate it achieves nothing; it doesn’t exhibit any function at all, which is why I handed it to you for research.”
“I don’t have time to research it for the time being.”
“When you have time, then talk about it, the Time Scepter isn’t going anywhere anyway.”
At that moment, Ach suddenly had a whimsical thought, “Right, brother, can the Knowledge Ancient Book appraise Elves?”
“Appraise Elves?” Liszt was taken aback; actually, there was no need to appraise Elves at all, as their species could be identified once they expel Cordyceps. However, he had never appraised a living creature before—his own hand didn’t count, as there was no response when placing it on the book.
So, he took an Elf Bug and placed it on the Knowledge Ancient Book.
Then, the magical book radiated light, but only displayed one phrase in Moon Language—Elf.
“Heh, what, you think I’m blind, needing to remind me that this is an Elf?” Liszt chuckled at the ability of the Knowledge Ancient Book, “Well then, this Knowledge Ancient Book serves no use in my hands, I’ll give it to you to wield, Ach, especially since you often need to appraise magical materials.”
Ach didn’t refuse, “Hm.”
…
Having acquired the Knowledge Ancient Book, Liszt’s heart began to grow eager about the Divine Artifacts sealed by the other three statues, curious about what unique artifacts were contained within.
But there was no rush. Once all the tribes of the Moon Slayers were conquered, these artifacts would inevitably fall into his hands.
Thus,
He continued to seek Natural Nodes.
Not just to fulfill the Smoke Mission, he also truly yearned to open the passage between Black Horse Island and Flame Island, so time passed day by day, busily searching.

Soon, Sapphire Calendar Year 154 moved toward its end, heralding the slow arrival of the New Year in 155.
Thorn Castle lacked the festive cheer of last year, and under Butler Carter’s leadership, the servants had a simple New Year celebration. Flame City’s recently constructed new castle, now named Flame Castle, teemed with toasting and festivities. Liszt and his followers celebrated the first New Year of Flame Island within its walls.
“Your Highness, I propose we declare this year as the inaugural year of the Flame Calendar and today as the first New Year’s Day of the Flame Calendar,” Durt Red Apricot suggested with a raised glass.
Liszt narrowed his eyes and said, “Let’s not, the Flame Kingdom has yet to be established, and we’ll not consider the Flame Calendar for now. We’ll continue using the Sapphire Calendar. However, I will ask the Magic Guild to compile a new calendar system based on Flame Island’s seasons, incorporating the movements of the sun and moon. Once the kingdom is established, we will implement it immediately.”
