The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 924 - 0921: The Girl Dragon Riding (Second Update)
Chapter 924: Chapter 0921: The Girl Dragon Riding (Second Update)
Emily arrived swiftly, as she had recently changed mounts; Liszt had given her the mount he rode in his youth, the Wind Attribute Intermediate Dragon Beast – Landwalker bird Loki, for her to ride.
The expanse of the project developing Flame Island kept growing, with simultaneous construction of five cities: Flame City, Jade City, Dragon Valley City, Reed City, and Estuary City. Yet, the distances between these cities were considerable, with the closest, Flame City to Dragon Valley City, being over three hundred kilometers apart—equivalent to the distance from Shanghai to Nanjing.
Relying on horseback for communication was indeed a waste of time, especially for followers like Emily, who were highly valued by Liszt and often needed to multitask by traveling between cities.
Changing to a better mount was essential—of course, only Emily was currently enjoying this privilege.
“Your Highness.”
“Here you are, Emily.” Liszt looked over the girl who now stood at one meter seventy and no longer had a flat figure; her chest and buttocks had begun to turn slightly upwards, “I’ve recently acquired a special dragon, a Bone Dragon. It’s quite intriguing—lacking its own consciousness, you could try riding it.”
He pointed to the enormous creature standing still, its head lowered as if deep in thought.
A Bone Dragon with a sixty-meter wingspan and sixty-five-meter body length shimmered in ghostly blue light; its dragon teeth glowed like the sun, while its dragon eyes burned with blue flames.
Direct sunlight hit the Bone Dragon, causing Liszt to feel a burning sensation while riding, but it was only a sensation. The sunlight had no special effect on the Bone Dragon. Unlike a vampire significantly weakened when exposed to sunlight, the Bone Dragon’s magic power belonged to both Super Magic and High Magic.

The ghostly blue magic power at its joints was Chaotic Super Magic, while the magic power leaking out was Chaotic High Magic.
“Your Highness, is it appropriate for me to ride this Bone Dragon?” Emily asked puzzled. Liszt had always told her to prepare to ride the Light Green Gem Dragon Ethan.
“Don’t worry, the Bone Dragon is different from normal dragons. It’s more like a piece of equipment, meant for you to increase your dragon riding proficiency and success rate. I hope you can become Ethan’s knight, but the risks of failure in dragon riding are significant, and you need to be better prepared.”
“Emily understands!”
Nodding, Emily didn’t hesitate any longer. She leaped into the air and landed on the backbone of the Bone Dragon, finding the Dragon Tooth Platform under Liszt’s guidance.
Taking a deep breath, the girl suppressed her excitement, glanced at Liszt, and slowly sat on the Dragon Tooth Platform.
Suddenly.
A mysterious and profound sensation surged into her heart, giving her an extraordinary and surreal feeling. At that moment, she felt she was still Emily, yet also possessed a skeleton-built body, as if she became one with the Bone Dragon beneath her, two bodies sharing one mind.
“Pay close attention to this feeling. Although it can’t match the intensity of riding a dragon, it will help you get accustomed to this wonderful yet awkward sensation.”
Hearing Liszt’s voice.
Emily quickly calmed down and began to control the Bone Dragon with her mind. At first, even the smallest motion was clumsy, but as she grew more familiar with the sensation, the Bone Dragon’s movements became more fluid. Half an hour later, she could already control the Bone Dragon to run and even attempted flight, but didn’t manage to take off.
“Woo eee yah!”
In the distance, the Formless Dragon flew in, carrying Liszt, who activated the Crystal White Trajectory, carefully inspecting the Bone Dragon under Emily’s control. Ach, too, cast the Super Magic – Eye of Mana, closely observing the information revealed by the Bone Dragon.
…
Emily, who had ridden a Bone Dragon, did not unlock the secret of Dragon Dou Qi.
Since a Bone Dragon is not a dragon in the usual sense, it cannot cultivate together with knights, so Emily still had to gradually consume Magic Potions to train in Advanced Dou Qi.
However, her talent was indeed extraordinary. Having only recently been promoted to a Sky Knight, she had already surpassed the strength of an average Sky Knight and was on the verge of reaching the power level of a Sword Saint. She had a natural sharpness for battle, and her body adapted exceptionally well to Dou Qi, with one Magic Potion going as far as several would for other Sky Knights.
In addition, Liszt had secretly taught her the Dou Qi Secret Technique “Breath Decay,” making her use of Magic Potions even more economical.
So far, aside from “The Eye of Magic,” which had to be kept a secret for his exclusive use, Liszt no longer cared about other Dou Qi Secret Techniques. They were precious at the Sky Knight stage, but of little use to a Dragon Knight. He would teach them freely to those close to him.
He had also planned to give the Dou Qi Domain Manual as a birthday gift to his father, Li Weiliam, this year, helping him advance to a Domain Knight.
Perhaps the father-son relationship was somewhat contrived, but ultimately they shared the same bloodline.
During the founding of the Flame Kingdom, Li Weiliam played a very important role, with nearly all diplomatic affairs handled by the Marquis of Bull Tail.
“This year, for his birthday, I’ll give the Marquis the Dou Qi Domain Manual; after the founding of the kingdom, I’ll make him a Duke and give him the second-largest island of the Flame Islands—Tulip Island—as his fief. This should repay the lifetime of familial relations and settle the karma inherited from my predecessor.”
Different times bring different thoughts. Initially, upon his arrival through transmigration, he wanted to sever ties with the Tulip Family, but it was not easy. After all, he still inherited these family ties.
Now, as one of the Five Dragon Knights and King of the Flame Kingdom, he didn’t mind lifting his entire family to heaven.
Not only would he allow the Tulip Family to enjoy wealth and status, but he would also take great care of the Long Taro Family on the other side. He would do his best to support the Pinecone Family of his aunt Melinda and the Basil Family into which his sister Li Vera had married. Even those veterans who had followed him would enjoy wealth and honor.
The practice of “when the rabbit dies, the hound is cooked; when the birds are all shot, the bows are hidden” would not happen.
With the legacy of five dragons continually passed down, the Flame Family would stand at the pinnacle of the knight system for at least several hundred to a thousand years, reveling in the game’s fun.
Much like the Platinum Family of Steel Ridge, the Golden Crown Family of Blast Furnace Fortress, and the families of Moonlight Silver and White Maw Iron of the Eagles,
After hundreds to thousands of years of heritage, generation after generation enjoyed the utmost authority and power.
As long as dragons did not go extinct, the family would not fall from the throne—even if old dragons died, as new ones were timely added, the family would continue the game.
It is said that on the other side of the continent, the Neverfall Empire has continued for more than two thousand years. The Dragon Rearing Family that rules this empire is still passing down its legacy, never in decline. After all, in this world, unlike ancient China on Earth, dragons guarantee status, not the hearts of the people.
“Your Highness, I’ve become accustomed to dragon riding. Reed Cinder Road is still under construction, and the Mammoth Knight Brigade cannot be without my command. Please, allow me to return to my duties there.”
After one day of adapting to dragon riding, Emily resolutely said her farewells; she could see that Liszt and Ach had a lot of research work to do.
“Very well, you may go,” Liszt did not retain Emily; however, he thought for a moment and added, “The Flame Kingdom is about to be established. I have too many dragons to ride by myself; you must grow quickly to lessen my burden by taking on one of the dragons… Here are one hundred Platinum Magic Potions for you to use.”
A Platinum Magic Potion, five hundred Gold Coins apiece, and that was the price within the Steel Ridge Kingdom. Out in the market of Sapphire, they would sell for at least seven to eight hundred Gold Coins each.
Emily took the Platinum Magic Potions without any objections, merely nodding heavily: “Understood!”
All was understood without words.
