Chapter 930: Chapter 0927: Missing Mathew (4th update, Alliance Hierarch bonus 16/147)
Virginia Truth had mastered the Bone Dragon, enabling the Bone Dragon to be reborn as a special Soul Element Dragon—Bone Dragon Vinnie.
The Smoke Mission was naturally completed along with this, rewarding him with a Gemstone Crown.
However, Liszt was somewhat curious—what exactly was this Gemstone Crown, and how would it come into his hands—he felt there was no need for theft, no need to rely on waging war to obtain it like he did with Crystal Helen.
Crystal Helen was placed within the Flame Castle, instantly elevating the grade of Liszt’s study.
This half-human-tall, gorgeous crystal statue was a special piece of Magic Equipment, capable of organizing the castle’s free-floating magic power, making one feel refreshed and at ease. Commoners basked in its aura without illness or disaster, while knights and magicians could enjoy the convenience it offered for their training.
Liszt particularly liked to read books under Crystal Helen’s aura, absorbing knowledge.
Of course, Crystal Helen’s aura was sufficient to envelop the entire Flame Castle, so all the servants in the castle benefited from this statue—Butler Carter had always presided over Thorn Castle, but after falling ill once, he was transferred by Liszt to Flame Castle to serve as the butler and to be conditioned by the statue.
Thorn Castle was subsequently managed by his original personal servant, Servant Thomas.
Chef Abbie, head maid Little Lily, head servant Tom, and other familiar servants were also transferred to Flame Castle.
It could be said that the currently rather humble Flame Castle had become his main residence, while Thorn Castle was somewhere he only occasionally returned to stay for a day.
“I wonder where the Gemstone Crown will come from—could it be that the Sapphire Duke crafted such a crown to congratulate me on becoming the king, after the three great kingdoms recognized the declaration from Flame Kingdom?” Liszt thought, but he hoped that wasn’t the case, because after all, a crown is a hat.
It’s not very nice to receive hats from others.
“If he dares to send me a Gemstone Crown, I’ll definitely send him a Light Green Gem hat!”
He didn’t dwell on the Gemstone Crown for too long, as his attention quickly shifted to the new Smoke Mission.
“Mission: Although Ach can control the Formless Dragon Bard, when the dragon is away, she lacks a suitable mount to ride across the land. It is rumored that the Steel Ridge Kingdom Pegasus Great Forest has traces of unicorns. The pure unicorn may be a match for Ach; why not explore the possibility? Reward: Pegasus Herd.”
“Unicorns, Pegasus Great Forest—it’s suggesting that I go find a unicorn.”
Liszt frowned and pondered: “But recently I don’t seem to have cared much about the unicorn issue, so why would the Smoke Mission release such a task… Or is it that deep down I actually want to capture a unicorn, to witness this creature that only pure maidens can see?”
He had always thought of the unicorn as just one kind of Super Dragon Beast, like how the Flame Dragon Bird is called a Phoenix, a bit of an exaggeration.
However, since the Smoke Mission had been issued, he had no choice but to make time for a trip to the Pegasus Great Forest, to find the Pegasus Herd, to find the unicorn.
At that moment.
From the skull dragon head pattern on his face, Vinnie’s thoughts came through: “Your Highness, it’s late at night, do you… still need my company?”
“Ahem!”
Liszt almost choked on his breath.
He could sense the unusual emotions in Vinnie’s thoughts. Ever since he and Vinnie underwent Dragon Knight Resonance, that comfortable and blending feeling had intoxicated Vinnie.
Just as Dragon Knights enjoyed a pleasant cooperation with their dragons, Vinnie too relished the joy of riding and being ridden.
Unfortunately for Vinnie, even though she had taken the place of the Bone Dragon’s soul, she was still originally a human female, and her excessive indulgence in this resonant pleasure always gave Liszt a strange sense of illusion.
So indulgence was not an option, “No need, transform back into your true form and rest outside. I will prepare a dragon nest for you as soon as possible so you can have a comfortable living environment. We will continue to cooperate when we go out to battle… Of course, if I get busy, you can also practice with Emily.”
“Emily?”
“Yes, she’s one of my followers. She’s only fourteen this year, but she’s extraordinarily talented and is already a Sky Knight of the Sword Saint Level. Moreover, she will soon become the first female Dragon Knight on the Legendary Continent,” Liszt said seriously, “I hope you can help her become more familiar with dragon riding combat.”
“A talented young lady like her? Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will cooperate earnestly with Emily… However, I still prefer fighting alongside Your Highness, and incidentally experiencing this world’s bizarre and varied landscapes.”
“Don’t worry, we will have plenty of opportunities to fight side by side.”
Soon, Vinnie turned into a huge Bone Dragon and lay down in a random spot outside. Back in his own room, Liszt could see the rhythmic, ghostly blue lights pulsing on the Bone Dragon’s body through the window.
His thoughts were soaring.
“With Vinnie in this state, having the Bone Dragon continue as a prototype and training Dragon Knight is inappropriate, unless it’s for female Dragon Knights.” He directly ignored the fact that he was also male, “Even having Emily practice with her feels strange, but perhaps I am overthinking it.”
Riding a Bone Dragon is no different from riding other dragons; the only difference is that regular dragons don’t have genders, whereas the Bone Dragon’s soul is female.
“In the future, Bone Dragon Vinnie will exist as armor and weaponry for my battles!”
The selfish possessiveness of being male led him to quickly decide the fate of Bone Dragon Vinnie. Of course, Virginia Truth was someone Liszt had saved, and the Bone Dragon was his private property; Bone Dragon Vinnie, being a combination of the two, belonged to Liszt personally and he had the right to decide how to treat her.
…
Night fell.
Liszt and Ach discussed at length, documenting all the information obtained about the Bone Dragon during the day, in preparation for future soul research.
Busy until midnight, he finally went to sleep, but before sleeping, he confirmed the date for going to the Pegasus Great Forest with Ach—the 10th of July.

The journey to the Steel Ridge Kingdom was long, and with the search for the Pegasus Great Forest, the trip could take ten days to half a month.
Therefore, he must arrange the work of the territory’s construction and also coordinate the training with the dragons.
First, he went to the Doomsday Volcano Crater and negotiated with Little Fire Dragon Leo, exchanging twenty vials of Red Dragon Water for several large jars of Fire Dragon Overmagic. These Overmagic potions were intended for building glass workshops and brick factories—he planned to establish glass and brick factories in Flame City, Reed City, Jade City, Dragon Valley City, and Estuary City.
These workshops would provide glass, bricks, and cement for city construction.
They would also supply materials for road building in each city.
Then, he gave ten vials of Red Dragon Water to Mountain Copper Dragon Mata to improve their relationship. He also contracted the most recently gathered elves from the Holy Tribe—surprisingly, there were two Minor Elves, one was a Coffee Minor Elf and the other a Quadwood Minor Elf, an unexpected joy.
Next, he gave ten vials of Red Dragon Water to Light Green Gem Dragon Ethan, practiced with Ethan for a while, and deepened his own branding as the First Dragon Knight in its mind—the branding was already quite clear, in two more months, it should be completely imprinted, and then he could introduce Ethan to Emily.
Then, he gave another ten vials of Red Dragon Water to Grey Iron Dragon Ornn, who had been residing on Black Horse Island, helping Pea Great Elf Ash evolve, providing a deterrent force and ready support for the Fortress of the Mind and the Magic Gate of Mind Island.
Back and forth.
A quarter of the two hundred vials of Red Dragon Water was gone.
“This rate of consumption is a bit fast; Bard and Vinnie will also need Red Dragon Water… It seems I’ll have to find an opportunity to exchange affections with the Red and White Rose Family and get them to gift me some more Red Dragon water,” Liszt thought, fondly recalling Mathew of the Red and White Roses.
This handsome young noble was his good friend.
