Chapter 966: Chapter 0963 Dedicate Body and Soul Chapter 966: Chapter 0963 Dedicate Body and Soul “Emily, after the Mammoth Knight Brigade paves the road to the Moon Slayer Sacred Mountain, imdiately collaborate with the local Knights and Magicians. They are the ones I sent to manage the Holy Tribe, let the Moon Slayer Natives assist the Mammoth Knight Brigade in building the King’s Castle,” Liszt received the early-returning Emily Earl in the Fla Castle to report on her duties. “I have already appointed Jomaya Bangtu as the overall commander of the construction of the King’s Castle. He will lead the construction team to select suitable sites near the Sacred Mountain for the Castle and Royal Palace and get the preliminary work done.”
“As you wish, Your Highness.”
“How has your recent coordination with Ethan been?”
“There has been significant progress; Ethan really likes Fla Wine, so I started from there, exchanging drinks to win his favor. Moreover, I found a type of fruit wine brewed by the Moon Slayer Natives, which after blending improved the flavor of the Fla Wine, successfully replacing the original.”
“So, Ethan no longer resists you, then when do you think you will have the opportunity for a Mind Battle?” Liszt asked.
Emily shook her head, “Not yet, but Ethan has loosened up, I believe the Mind Battle will co soon.”
“There’s nothing special about Ethan’s Mind Battle, just face it and conquer its heart. I have nothing to teach you in this matter because I took the opportunity of Ethan’s deep unconsciousness to extinguish its original First Dragon Knight’s Mind Branding and vanquished it,” Liszt said.
The girl, full of confidence, responded, “Please rest assured, Your Highness, Emily will definitely overco Ethan’s mind!”
“I look forward to that mont.”
Liszt said with a smile, his handso face paired with a charming smile, instantly striking Emily’s heart, causing waves of emotion, and involuntarily a blush appeared on her face, “Your Highness, you seem different since your return.”
“How so?”
“Um…” Emily tried to find the right adjective, “You seem more dominating, more aggressive, your gaze daring not to be t directly, as if you could see through one’s secrets.”
This was the change brought about by the Phoenix Incarnation. A Phoenix, not a gentle and pure creature like a Unicorn, born from bathing in fire, is naturally synonymous with dominance and imperiousness. This is a stark contrast to the Phoenix that symbolizes good fortune on Earth.
Calling the Phoenix a ‘Phoenix’ seems more appropriate.
Liszt approached the girl, his eyes bright and aningful as he gazed into her eyes, a hint of a smile on his lips: “Then what secrets do you think I’ve seen through about you?”
“I…” Emily wanted to avoid the intense gaze but quickly overca her shyness and looked directly into Liszt’s eyes. “Emily has no secrets, only a willingness to dedicate her entire being to you, Your Highness.”
Said very frankly.
But here, the customs are quite liberal; Knights can boldly pursue girls, and girls can also boldly pursue Knights. Even married Knights and noble ladies can’t avoid having affairs outside, even publicly, as long as both parties accept it, it’s commonplace.
Of course, this doesn’t an that having affairs is moral, but human nature is complex, and there are always people who adhere to morals and those who break them.
Emily’s frankness sowhat robbed Liszt of the pleasure of ‘teasing’ the girl, and he smiled awkwardly, “You are still too young, Emily.”
The girl puffed out her already slightly curved chest, speaking a bit hurriedly, “Your Highness, I am already fourteen, and I’ll be fifteen after the New Year’s festival.”
“Let’s wait until you’re an adult. For now, focus on riding dragons. I hope that when the Fla Kingdom is established, this kingdom will have more than just one Dragon Knight.” Feeling Emily’s breath, he awkwardly changed the subject.
This year is Sapphire Calendar Year 155, and three years later, in Sapphire Calendar Year 158, the Fla Kingdom will inevitably be founded. By then he will be twenty-three, Emily seventeen and of age, and Ach forty-seven, calculating the age of maturity for a Sea Serpent… was challenging.
Once, he t an old Sea Serpent nad Iris, over four hundred years old, born from a seashell, she reached adulthood at fifty-five when she grew legs.
While Ach was bred from a scallop shell, whether he would reach adulthood at fifty-five like Iris was uncertain. Moreover, since becoming an Archmage and acquiring an Elental Incarnation, Ach had already grown legs – it wasn’t incorrect to say he had already co of age.
Facing Liszt’s change of topic, a hint of disappointnt surfaced in the young Emily’s eyes, but she quickly adjusted, “I will grow up soon, Your Highness!”
That hint of disappointnt was still captured by Liszt.
Suddenly, he extended his hand and lifted Emily’s chin, speaking gently, “Grow up quickly.”
In an instant.
Emily felt a current strike her body, generating trendous excitent. Her chin involuntarily rubbed against Liszt’s fingertips as she nodded vigorously, “Yes!”
…
The Phoenix Incarnation was Liszt’s trump card, never revealed to anyone other than Ach.
He still chose to ride the Formless Dragon Bard everywhere, and after sending away the emotionally stirred Emily, he went to the Tower of Reeds in Reed City to check on Ach’s experintal progress.
“Your Highness, you’ve arrived.” Lucy and Ruth, the twin sisters, effectively acted as the little housekeepers of the Tower of Reeds, learning by the side of the Archmage. They made rapid progress.
No longer Magic Apprentices.
Just two months ago, Ruth released a common Water Magic – Water Arrow Barrage, becoming a true Magician; a month before, Lucy successfully released a common Fire System Magic – Great Fireball, becoming a qualified Magician. They were only thirteen years old.
Three years ago, around the sa ti as Emily, they were sent by Liszt to the Magic Academy and recomnded to Chris as apprentices.
Three years later, both had beco Magicians, worthy of the title of prodigious Magicians—according to the Magician’s cultivation system, normally Magic Apprentices start from the age of ten to fifteen, and the twin sisters were chosen by Liszt when they were ten.
Magic Apprentices, after five or even more years of learning, beco Magicians before the age of twenty, are all geniuses, with a chance to make their way to the realm of Grand Magicians.
For the twin sisters to advance to Magicians in just three years, becoming Grand Magicians was almost certain.
“Hello, Lucy, Ruth.” Liszt greeted the twins amiably, yet he thought to himself, wondering if many years later, these twins would have a chance to challenge for an Archmage—after all, they are magic prodigies nad in the Smoke Mission, perhaps there really was a chance.
Liszt watched as he entered the laboratory.
Ruth suddenly made a silly smitten face, “His Highness is so handso, like a blazing fla; standing before him makes so nervous I can hardly breathe.”
Lucy looked helplessly at her sister, “His Highness is the future King, you shouldn’t always indulge in fanciful thoughts.”
“What’s wrong with fanciful thoughts? You don’t control what I think, hmph!”
“Devoting oneself to the Truth is what a Magician ought to do.”
“Sister, you’re so naive. His Highness doesn’t like Magicians; His Highness likes Arcanists, and we will beco Arcanists one day—no, I will beco an Arcane Instructor, as powerful as Teacher Ach!” Ruth held her head high, with a few proud freckles matching her expression.
Lucy said nothing and picked up a book of Magic Books to read seriously. The cover displayed —”The Great Arcanist”, Issue Thirteen, published by the Arcanist Assessnt Committee.
The cover showed an old Grand Magician wearing a Magic Cloak, drawn but almost resembling a real photograph.
Beside it was a line in bold Serpent Script: “Inventor of the Magic Two-Wheeled Bicycle—Leader of the Dynamism Research Group, Gandalf Truth.”
