Chapter 925: Chapter 0922: Counting to Fifty is Difficult (Third Update, Alliance Hierarch additional update 13/147)

After Emily left, Liszt and Ach hastened to research the Bone Dragon and obtained a lot of precious data, but they did not form a systematic argunt and could not determine the nature of the Bone Dragon’s existence.

“Unfortunately, there are too few records about Liches and Ghost Ships left by Curtis Truth; our fundantal research on the soul is still lacking… The Mountain Copper Dragon should not be exposed for now, and we can’t hand over Andre to the Sapphire Duke yet in exchange for his information about the Dragon Domain LandLord and Liches.”

Ach nodded and said, “Brother, although the data is not abundant, we have basically figured out how to control the Bone Dragon. The Bone Dragon possesses so of the Elental Dragon’s properties. If we must summarize, it should be considered as of the Soul Elent, and you can control it in the sa way that Leo possesses a body.”

Leo could transform into a magical form and attach to Liszt’s body, and recently Liszt had been planning to find an opportunity for Leo to collaborate in practicing new skills.

He tried to let Leo use his Magic Form to condense a set of fla armor that clung to his own surface.

It was like the set of fla-like armor that Ach had seen with the Ti Scepter.

Now that they had the Bone Dragon, its Superior Magic had been discovered, and it surprisingly had properties of an Elental Dragon — it was clearly a special creature with the qualities of death, made from the entangled skeleton and teeth soul of a tal Dragon, yet it unexpectedly attained a Magic Form similar to that of an Elental Dragon.

This might have been the best evidence for the matter-magic-spirit triangle theory.

“I will attempt to control it, Ach. If you are in a hurry to return to Reed City to research the Magic Teleportation Array, have Bard send you back first… After we sell Andre to the Sapphire Duke and get the information on the Lich and Dragon Domain LandLord, we’ll carry out a systematic study of this Bone Dragon,” Liszt said.

For the ti being, he saw the Bone Dragon as a “Dragon Riding model machine” that could be used to train Dragon Knights and to experint with new skills.

Ach left riding the Formless Dragon, while Liszt continued to explore riding the Bone Dragon.

“My soul is in tune with Leo; I clearly understand how it transforms from a flesh-and-blood body into a Magic Form. Now, what is lacking is proficiency.”

Leo’s shape-shifting was a natural talent, but Liszt had to communicate with the chaotic Super Magic of the Bone Dragon through his thoughts and rge his body with the Super Magic to develop a Magic Form. Controlling such a huge Bone Dragon with one’s mind was still difficult.

It was like a small horse pulling a large cart.

However, once the large cart started moving smoothly, the small horse could just manage to pull it along.

So for the following half of June, Liszt applied himself to mastering control of the Bone Dragon, barely participating in the developnt of his domain. He only made an appearance when training with the dragons, contracting new elves, and then he would step back and be a hands-off manager.

The Dragon Slaying battle in April ended.

The tripartite negotiations in May were completed.

June was relatively peaceful.

The news of the Mountain Copper Dragon being ridden was always kept secret. It seed that there was no movent from the Eagle Kingdom, and Andre, likewise, wasn’t affected by any curse, being kept like a pig in the attached prison of Fla Castle, eating, drinking, and sleeping. The landscape of the four great kingdoms was tending towards stability.

For Liszt, the biggest surprise of June, besides the Bone Dragon, was the reward from the Smoke Mission.

After the public announcent of the new Dragon Knight candidate plan exclusive to the Fla Kingdom, which used schools as a thod of dissemination, the Smoke Mission was imdiately completed.

“Mission completed, reward: one Corn Greater Elf.”

Yes, it was Mickey, the Corn Minor Elf Liszt previously owned, who had evolved. One day, after having lunch and preparing to read a newly arrived Knight’s Novel, Mickey, who had already moved to Fla Castle, suddenly flew over to find him as he was about to open a new book and took out an ear of corn.

Then, right in front of Liszt, Mickey started counting the kernels one by one: “Chirp… chirp… chirp…”

Although its cries were all the sa, the aning it conveyed was very clear: “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven… eleven!” From one to eleven, it counted very distinctly.

“Good job, Mickey!” Liszt didn’t skimp on praise.

In the following days, Mickey was sotis excited, sotis downcast, which made Liszt nervous for a while, fearing that its evolution would fail.

Therefore, even the new Smoke Mission was sowhat absent-minded.

“Mission: The special role of the Bone Dragon you have been uncovering, yet independent manipulation always leads to so discrepancies. Perhaps you should find a way to address this issue. A single person’s spiritual power is limited, why not try the spiritual power of two people? Complete full control of the Bone Dragon. Reward: Gemstone Crown.”

Fortunately, Mickey ultimately evolved successfully, becoming a graceful Corn Greater Elf without a personality as distinct as Jela’s, which seed rather placid.

But it was still very lively, its interest in counting unchanged, only no longer limited to corn kernels.

“One, two, three, four… Liszt, twenty-six Little Minor Elves live in the castle.” Its mastery of language was very rapid because, as a Little Minor Elf, it had received “prenatal education” from the castle servants, so it already knew many Serpent Scripts—Serpent Script was the official language of the Fla Kingdom.

“Great job, congratulations on getting it right. So, Mickey, how many Elf Bugs are there in the castle?” Liszt posed a new question to it.

Currently, elves mainly dwell in Thorn Castle and Fla Castle, and Mickey was counting the residents of Fla Castle, which housed twenty-six Little Minor Elves, but the number of Elf Bugs exceeded two hundred.

Mickey began to count seriously.

“One, two, three, four… forty-nine, fifty, thirty-seven, thirty-eight… forty-nine, fifty, twenty-one, twenty-two… oh, Liszt, my head is so confused, I can’t keep count.” Mickey realized a fact after repeating the count for the fifth ti.

Even if its ability to count had made significant strides, it was still unable to count numbers above fifty properly.

“That’s why you need to practice more. Once you can count from one to a hundred, I’ll teach you more profound mathematics, not just the basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.”

Saying this, Liszt pulled out a piece of paper from the desk, which had a chart drawn on it like a staircase: “There’s also the multiplication table!”

“Okay, I will count seriously.” Mickey’s eyes lit up when it saw the chart, and after expressing its confidence, it went straight back to the Worm Room, to the sea of colorful Elf Bugs, and began to busy itself with counting, “One, two, three, four… forty-nine, fifty, forty-four, forty-five…”

He shook his head.

Liszt found it a bit amusing, “I wonder if Mickey could trigger evolution into a Dragon Elf when it learns to count to a hundred. But for now, it and Greater Elves like Jela show no interest in the five dragons I command.”

Currently, only Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree Greater Elf Annie was deeply in love with Little Fire Dragon Leo; Pea Great Elf Ash was deeply in love with Grey Iron Dragon Ornn.

“It still has a long way to go.”

Suddenly, a crisp voice interrupted Liszt’s musings, as Man-Eating Tree Dragon Sprite Kali approached.

It did not fly but walked in shoes like a human and no longer went bare-bodied, choosing to wear a small set of Flack·Abbieye, dressing itself up as a refined, handso young noble. At one ter tall, with transparent light-yellow skin and a leaf on its head, it looked handso with a touch of playfulness.

Kali held its head high, showing a proud expression, “Liszt, I have already discovered the important value of the Man-Eating Tree and found mutant varieties of Magic Potions. Now you understand how important I am, right?”

It made a casual gesture.

A beam of green light shot onto the balcony’s flower pot, and then a green seedling forcibly took over the ornantal plant originally in the pot, growing into a half-ter tall Man-Eating Tree.

Liszt used the Eye of Magic and could clearly see that this Man-Eating Tree was emitting a faint magic feedback glow—indeed, it was a Magic Potion plant.
