Chapter 809: Chapter 0806: I Ca, I Saw (First Update)
The island was indeed boundlessly vast.
Li Si Te rode Little Fire Dragon Leo to several thousand ters high in the sky, yet he still couldn’t see the island’s borders, as if the forests stretched endlessly and the land had no edges.
“The bigger the better!”
Li Si Te felt exhilarated and couldn’t help but want to burst into song.
But in the end, he didn’t sing, because he couldn’t find a suitable tune. Instead, he dove downward towards the forest. He quickly located the crash sites of the Discovery and the new sailboat, two spots starkly evident amid the Wild Forest, toppling a large swath of trees and leaving behind substantial debris.
As the Fire Dragon was about to hit the ground,
...
Leo suddenly spread his wings, stirring up the air currents, halting his descent, and hovered steadily a few ters above the ground before slowly landing, releasing an impassioned roar, “Oh hoo!”
The crossing through the Great Whirlpool was also a sufficiently novel experience for him.
After touching Leo’s scales, Li Si Te dismounted, while Cross·Thorn, Ganeel Treebark Roundshield, and others hurried over, all bowing to Li Si Te: “Your Highness!”
Li Si Te nodded at Cross, “Well done, Cross, you have shown your courage, so from today, I will promote you to Earl… As for the fief and noble title, we’ll discuss them after founding the nation.”
“Thank you for the honor bestowed, Your Highness. Cross is willing to charge into battle for you!” Cross knelt on one knee.
Li Si Te drew the Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword, and gently tapped its tip on both of his shoulders, simply completing the ceremony. But for Cross, this was not just a simple ceremony; it was the crucial step from being a minor noble to a Great Noble, and from now on, his duty was to strengthen the Thorn family.
Without paying attention to Cross’s excitent,
Li Si Te then turned toward Ganeel: “Captain Ganeel, your performance has impressed profoundly even though you plunged into the Great Whirlpool because of a lack of caution, leading to most of the crews’ deaths. However, mariti exploration is inherently fraught with dangers, and the fact that you discovered the Great Whirlpool and made it to this island is a guiding light of knightly glory.”
Ganeel, kneeling on the ground, was emotionally overwheld.
Li Si Te smiled slightly and said directly, “From today onward, I will promote you to Viscount, and we will discuss the fief and noble title after the founding of the nation!”
“Thank you for the honor bestowed upon , Your Highness. Ganeel swears his loyalty to you and is ready to charge into battle for you!”
Li Si Te then looked at the remaining crew of the Discovery.
Apart from Captain Ganeel and two magicians, Granney and another, there were twenty-five people.
Of those, seven Earth Knights had been ennobled as Honored Knights after the previous sea battle, and thirteen remained unennobled Knights, along with five civilian sailors.
“My fellow Knights, for discovering the Great Whirlpool and the new island, you have all contributed. Honored Knights will be promoted to Baron, and those without titles, along with the civilian sailors, will all be ennobled as Honored Knights.”
The knighting command was issued.
Over twenty Knights and sailors knelt down, excitedly expressing their readiness to charge into battle for Lord Landlord.
Then Li Si Te’s gaze fell upon the two magicians, recognizing only one of them as Granney Truth. He was the first magician Li Si Te had dealt with. Though sowhat obstinate, his skill in creating Magic Equipnt was significant. His contribution had been crucial in the repair process of the Magic Platform on the Discovery.
“As for the rewards for the two of you, they will be discussed and decided by the Magic Guild later.”
The Magic Guild autonomously managed magicians, a right he had granted to Ach, Chris, and Kenley; thus, he was hesitant to bypass them and grant any rewards directly.
…
Liszt let Granney and another magician continue to operate the Magic Platform, maintaining contact with the Fla Number near the Great Whirlpool.
He didn’t stay at the simple camp for long. After instructing everyone to quickly use the sextant to determine their position, he flew Little Fire Dragon Leo back towards the waterfall mountain.
The mountain stood desolate and alone, enveloped by lush trees, but its outer appearance vaguely revealed that it was part of a fractured mountain range. The fractured side ford a cliff that was not too steep, with a large waterfall cascading down it.
The source of the waterfall was near the mountaintop, a pitch-black cave.
The entrance was wide, stretching hundreds of ters across.
Liszt flew close to the cave entrance, constantly scrutinizing the cave with Dragon Eye Trajectory, but he saw no complex lines of magic power, as if it were just ordinary mountain water.
He and Leo carefully flew into the cave, ready to rush into the Magic Teleportation Array again.
However, after flying almost fifty ters deep, they still hadn’t encountered any Magic Teleportation Array, “Sothing isn’t right. When I burst out of the Wormhole Space, I felt I was near the entrance. It couldn’t possibly be fifty ters deep… Could it be that the Wormhole Space is in another dinsion, inaccessible from this cave?”
Looking at the point where the cave beca too narrow to enter, Liszt could only guess that.
Then, he retraced his path.
He had Leo land on a huge protruding rock by the waterfall and gazed at the imnse flow of water, contemplating the entire Great Whirlpool Magic Teleportation Matrix.
Unconsciously, a segnt of Smoke Serpent Script appeared before his eyes, “Complete the mission, reward: profound understanding of the Magic Teleportation Array.”
The task was complete.
The smoke then transford, forming a new segnt of Smoke Serpent Script.
“Mission: Situated within the Fla Islands, a new nation will rise from here. As the future ruler you need a clear understanding of the Fla Islands. Why not map out the rough distribution of the islands and the area of the sea for comprehensive planning. Reward: Lost Old Friend.”
Without a doubt,
Liszt now had a deep understanding of the Magic Teleportation Array. However, he was still clueless about the theoretical basis and the principles of operation of the magic power. He could only wait for Ach to arrive, and share all his findings with her, relying on her to research.
Coming back to his senses, he looked at the new Smoke Mission.
Mapping the map of the Fla Islands was the implied task.
However, the reward made him delighted, “Indeed, as I’ve been longing for my old friend, destiny naturally drives them closer to … However, this year’s reward is no longer ‘old friend’s wandering’ but ‘lost old friend.’ Could the Formless Dragon be lost?”
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seed.
Both encounters with the Formless Dragon were due to the scent of Smoked Grass. The second ti, it lingered for a long ti before reaching Black Horse Island. It knew Smoked Grass was here but forgot where Fresh Flower Town was, and eventually, it managed to make its delayed appearance thanks to Liszt arranging the dishes.
Perhaps this fellow was directionally challenged.
“However, my old friend possesses the power that represents space; might there be a connection to the Magic Teleportation Array?”
With too few clues, it was hard to judge.
But there was no rush; mapping the Fla Islands, the old friend would inevitably be drawn by the power of destiny right to him.
He stretched his body, feeling the surging power within, filled with anticipation for the future.
As his power grew, the power of destiny represented by the Smoke Mission was also strengthening. Whether or not the Smoke Dragon is dead, he felt more like a human-shaped Smoke Dragon: “Now, the power of destiny is within my grasp, ready to arrange at any ti!”
