Chapter 988: Chapter 0985: Idol (3rd Update, Alliance Hierarch Additional Update 32/147) Chapter 988: Chapter 0985: Idol (3rd Update, Alliance Hierarch Additional Update 32/147) “Hi, Hippolyta, did you know? The genius girl, Princess Emily, has already been promoted to Dragon Knight!”
Just after the knight training class ended, Hippolyta received astonishing news from her little friend: the second most popular female idol among all won in the Fla Islands, who was also the Thunderous Sword Saint, had beco the second Dragon Knight in the Fla Kingdom, and the world’s first female Dragon Knight.
“Really?” Hippolyta, with her wheat-colored skin, widened her eyes.
She had two idols; the first was the great Archmage who rode the Holy Unicorn, Seki, unmatched in the hearts of the Moon Slayers!
The second was naturally Emily, the genius girl, only two years older than herself, yet already a renowned Sword Saint.
Who could have thought that just after the New Year had passed, this incredibly young Thunderous Sword Saint had already beco a great Dragon Knight, and could also be addressed as a Seki.
“Of course, it’s true. I learned it from the substitute teacher. Originally, the vice-principal was supposed to give us a lesson on ideology, but he took a leave of absence. The teacher told us that the vice-principal went to attend a banquet held by His Majesty at the Fla Castle, celebrating Lady Emily becoming a Dragon Knight.”
As if just rembering sothing, the little friend hurriedly added: “Now, we cannot just say Lady Emily, we should say Princess Emily.”
“That’s amazing, I really wish I could be as outstanding as Princess Emily!” Hippolyta said enviously.
“You are quite remarkable yourself, among all the Earth Knights in our school, you are the youngest. It took you only one year to beco an Earth Knight, and many people are envious of you. Oh, right, I heard that Princess Emily also beca an Earth Knight in one year.”
“Oh, I’m not the sa as Princess Emily, since I had practiced Magic from a young age and my body was responsive to Magic Power. After switching to practicing Dou Qi, I started as an Apprentice Knight. Princess Emily, however, was originally a common serf and had nothing, yet she beca an Earth Knight within a year!”
Emily’s story was legendary and suitable for spreading.
Of course, much of it was promoted by Liszt to establish a role model to attract young people to train vigorously. The effect was very good, as almost all the girls idolized Emily, second only to their admiration for Archmage Archy.
Hippolyta was very humble in her speech, not daring to compare herself with Emily.
But in her heart, she deeply aspired to beco the next Emily.
After the afternoon’s cultural classes were over, she packed up and hurriedly left the Royal Academy—this was a new school ford after the New Year, training talented students sent from various places. Most were of noble birth, but there were also a few from common backgrounds, and Liszt had stipulated that students of common birth should not be less than 30% of the total.
She returned ho.
Her father, Viscount Pontelesi, had already co back. As a Grand Magician among the Ancient Mages, specializing in Earth System Magic, his job involved water conservation projects.
“Hippolyta, you’re back.”
“Father, has Princess Emily really beco a Dragon Knight?” Hippolyta couldn’t help but ask again, still feeling slightly skeptical about the news—a fifteen-year-old Dragon Knight, three years younger than the great King when he was promoted to Dragon Knight.
How could it be possible!
“You already knew? Yes, Princess Emily has indeed beco a Dragon Knight. I just returned from attending the Dragon Knight’s celebration banquet at the Fla Castle.”
Assured, Hippolyta had no more doubts, leaving only astonishnt: “That’s incredible, a Dragon Knight, father, what does Princess Emily look like? Is she very tall and strong?”
“Princess Emily looks like an ordinary person, but she is very tall and beautiful, and her radiance is only slightly less than that of His Majesty the King,” Pontelesi tried his best to describe—in the eyes of ordinary people, Dragon Knights are all radiant, with a deanor and aura that is sacred and inviolable.
Listening to the greatness of Dragon Knights, Hippolyta felt an infinite desire. “Father, do you think I could beco a Dragon Knight?”
“You?…” Pontelesi couldn’t help but recall the words of his good friend Larmote as he looked at his daughter who had grown up. He replied with relief, “As long as you try hard, father believes you also have a chance to beco a Dragon Knight, the glory of the Moon Slayers.”
“Yes, I must try hard!” Hippolyta clenched her fist to motivate herself, but soon added, “Father, my teacher said that we are all citizens of the Fla Kingdom, there is no distinction between Moon Slayers and Fla People, we are all children of His Majesty the King.”
Pontelesi smiled and said, “Ha ha, father misspoke.”
Yet in his heart, he sighed silently. Although the Moon Slayers had long resided in the prival forest and were far behind in civilization, it didn’t an they lacked intelligent people. He was well aware of the Fla Kingdom’s policy to completely erase the Moon Slayer’s culture and integrate them into the Knight system, so that in a few generations, no one would likely rember the Moon Slayers anymore.
Nevertheless,
he didn’t oppose this policy, as he had beco a noble within the Knight system. As long as his own family prospered, who cared whether those serf Moon Slayers lived or died.
…
When Emily beca a Dragon Knight, Liszt felt his burdens lighten considerably.
The young girl could represent him in suppressing the Fla Islands, and she could also handle so diplomatic occasions on his behalf. This allowed Liszt more free ti, to go wherever he wanted.
“Internal affairs will be managed by the Developnt Committee, and external affairs by Emily, how delightful!”
He rode on Fire Dragon Leo and the Formless Dragon Bard, and hurriedly headed to the Overmarine Laboratory on Anchor Island to et with Archy.
Since Leo had taken the Fire Dragon Elixir, it no longer needed to stay at the Endless Volcano Cluster and train all the ti, just occasionally returning to harvest so Volcanic Super Magic. Now its main responsibility was combat, and developing various battle techniques with Liszt to enhance their strength.
“With Leo’s wingspan reaching fifty ters, his strength was almost on par with the Mountain Copper Dragon Mata. It’s hard to imagine how potent his strength will beco once he reaches a hundred-ter wingspan upon adulthood.”
Liszt often marveled at Leo’s growth.
Elental Dragons, usually evil dragons, were hard to slaughter due to their great strength. But so far, aside from Leo, the three major kingdoms’ regions had not spawned another Fire Dragon. However, Light Dragons, Earth Dragons, Water Dragons, and other evil dragons had clear distribution records, mostly within the Wild Forest.
As long as evil dragons didn’t attack humans, the three major kingdoms were too lazy to form dragon-slaying squads to kill these dragons—simply because evil dragons were not of great value.
Firstly, they were untamable; second, they produced no resources; and third, the dissipation of their Super Magic could cause vast geographical disasters.
For example, a Magician who once fought a Wind Dragon left behind Windhowl Valley, where the winds shrieked endlessly. Except for magicians who went there to admire the Magician’s historical trace, no one could live nearby.
Riding on the Fire Dragon, Liszt made countless people across the three major kingdoms envious—they wondered how soone could conquer an Elental Dragon from a young age. Although Elental Dragons produced no resources, their formidable combat power was enough to make people envious. Unfortunately, their envy was useless, as Liszt continued to ride dragons, deterring everyone.
The wind howled.
He soon reached Anchor Island, and from afar saw the Overmarine Laboratory erected above the ocean—constructed day and night by the Fish Ugly Race, this laboratory was like a palace on the sea.
The palace’s base was a rock platform condensed by Archy using Earth Elental Incarnation, while the Fish Uglys were responsible for carving and decorating. Using bone tools, their arms were as strong as Kirin arms, and they carved rocks much faster than human serfs. It had to be admitted, these ugly and slovenly low-intelligence creatures possessed incredible architectural talent.
“I must acquire the Heart of the rmaid; these Fish Uglys are naturally the most suitable laborers, millions of free laborers must be controlled!”
