The Karsus Crown and accompanying Nether Stone, along with the Karsus Annals and Sachiat’s Code... Leon handed over most of his spoils from Ferren to Tassera, leaving Sain’s Necromancy Spellbook to reward Laksha whenever she achieved rit.
Indeed, Leon could be completely open with Tassera, whom he had known since his early teenage years and who had now beco his Queen. He trusted that she would stand by him in tis of danger, but he regarded Laksha rely as a competent subordinate.
Tassera spent half a month in the Mage Tower, completely imrsed in research, receiving als and drinks from servants.
As for Leon, upon returning to Watchtower Port, he finally had access to a suitable lting Furnace. He dismantled the Hard Head Hamr from Rosymorn Monastery to extract the crucial Divine Blood, carefully integrating it into his Fine Gold Greatsword.
His Fine Gold Greatsword, originally carrying Radiant Damage, now not only had greatly enhanced Radiant Damage but also acquired a new property called Light of Lathander, allowing him to summon Holy Light within a certain range during battles to blind Evil Demons and Undead Creatures. Unfortunately, without Lathander’s blessing, he couldn’t cast the Sun Fla Ray.
There’s no wall that doesn’t leak rumors; upon Leon’s return from Ferren, the news about the treasures, including the Karsus Crown, quickly spread across the Volcanic Island.
"You can have many spouses, but only one sister. Can’t you grasp this simple logic?" said Salovis, the Red Dragon, the least discreet among all dragons in the Zhen Dan Kingdom due to Leon’s ceaseless care. "Why did you bring so many treasures for the Blue Dragon, but nothing for ?"
"Don’t bother ." Leon lazily lay on the observation deck at the Volcano Top, enjoying the breeze and the stunning seascape that seed never to grow old.
Salovis had long understood her brother’s temperant and knew how to dance on the knife’s edge. She leaned against Leon, pawing at his scales, persistently saying, "Haven’t you heard that saying? Won are like clothes, siblings are like limbs."
Originally not intending to respond, Leon couldn’t help but laugh at the remark and said, "Why don’t you go to Watchtower Port now? You’ll find plenty of limbless people, but show even one person without clothes."
"I’ll find one for you right now." Salovis imdiately beca spirited, bouncing around in her Dragon Form on the observation deck, saying, "I won’t wear clothes."
Leon was truly amused, asking, "Can I hit you?"
"No." Salovis showed her teeth, "If you don’t want to give, then don’t give; there’s no need to resort to hitting."
Cecilia, the Green Dragon, wasn’t as shaless as Salovis. She rely cuddled beside Leon, saying, "I heard that Master brought many gifts for Tassera..."
Leon had already anticipated this statent.
"It must be that the little maid did sothing wrong, so she’s not worthy of Master’s gifts." Cecilia sniffed appropriately, blinking with grievance, saying, "The little maid will work hard in the future to help manage Master’s Zhen Dan Kingdom well."
What a clever tactic, catching Leon off guard.
Cecilia was indeed a cunning Green Dragon, but she didn’t let that hinder her as Pri Minister from sharing a significant portion of his work... Tassera had a multitude of things, yet Cecilia had nothing, which did concern Leon sowhat.
"You’ll have them, you surely will, don’t worry about it." Leon silently calculated, "How many years are left until the negotiation terms with those Elves expire?"
"Tis have changed. A country within a country, doesn’t that sound absurd?" Leon said, "After the treaty terms end, if those Elves are willing to submit to , I’ll let you also serve as Governor of Danalan. If they choose to leave, the people might go, but the land must stay; Danalan will be yours."
Originally, Leon was fond of that beautiful Elf City, but now, compared to his upgraded Cave Heaven Blessed Land Volcanic Island, it was insignificant, and he didn’t mind gifting it to Cecilia.
Cecilia was satisfied.
Ti flew by, a month passed just like that, and with the turn of seasons, half a year went by. By ticulously studying the Karsus Annals, Tassera successfully reforged the Karsus Crown and found Leon with it perched triumphantly on her head.
"How is it?" Leon asked with great interest, his gaze shifting between the power-laden Karsus Crown and Tassera’s face.
"This crown is unbelievably powerful, it helps understand Magic." Tassera’s eyes glead with excitent, "You don’t know, spells like the Earthquake Skill, which I struggled with for so long, beca crystal clear the mont I donned the crown, as if the fog obstructing was swept away by sunlight."
"Sun Fla Burst, telepathy, Dark Star... I guarantee I can master them all within three years." Tassera assured confidently, "Give a hundred years, and no matter the discipline—Shaping Magic, Illusion Magic, Curse Magic, or Defense System—I can learn every Spell from all eight schools."
"I don’t care how many spells you can learn, but I must remind you of one thing." Leon said seriously, locking eyes with Tassera, "The Karsus Divine Ascension Technique is unreliable; don’t attempt it. If I find out you’re studying it, I’ll take back the Karsus Crown."
"I know... the God of Foolishness Karsas has already proven with his failure that this path leads nowhere; why would I repeat his mistake?" Tassera shook her head, "But I can reference the Karsas Divine Ascension Technique to develop my own Tassela Ascension Technique."
"You go for it." Leon smiled, "I’m looking forward to your Tassela Ascension Technique."
"You also have to help." Tassera said, "The Karsus Divine Ascension Technique requires the sand sac of a Golden Dragon, the blood of a Tarrasque, and the bile of a Twelve-headed Snake Lizard as casting materials. The Tassela Ascension Technique is sure to need many materials as well."
"Develop your Tassela Ascension Technique first," Leon said, "I’ll do my best to help."
Tassera continued her research, and about a year later, she excitedly brought a list of materials to Leon.
"I’ve made progress on the Tassela Ascension Technique. Here’s the list of casting materials needed for it..." Tassera said, "I’ll handle the ordinary materials myself; this list contains materials I truly can’t manage."
Leon picked up the materials list, his eyes swiftly scanning over it, remarking, "The Kraken’s blood is easily resolved, I can also give you the heart, but I really have no way to obtain an eye from Supre Heaven. Or perhaps I can provide you with a sample of my blood... But where do I find a Storm God’s Descendant, and I have never even heard of this World-devouring Sli."
Leon handed the materials list back, saying, "You’ll need to adjust your Tassela Ascension Technique. Since it’s your invented Spell, you surely have so way to adapt it."
Tassera left, then brought back a revised materials list to Leon a month later.
Leon went through the materials list; there was so difficulty, but it was within an acceptable range.
