The Mighty Dragons Are Dead

Chapter 370 : 0367: Low-Level Dragon Breed Magical Beast (First Update)

He did not rush to investigate whether the Barley Bugs in the barley fields had hatched.

Liszt chose to stay in Honey Town, rest for the night and directly assault the castle tomorrow, "Don't forget to strengthen the vigilance! Layden, split the Black Knight Order into three groups, each standing guard for four hours in rotation! Marcus, lead the Knight Squad to inspect the warning barriers again!"

Unlike other Knight Squads, the squad from Fresh Flower Town not only had to learn how to charge but also had to learn about traps, sailing, languages, and other knowledge.

Actually, Liszt wanted to nurture his Knight Squad into a special forces unit.

Layden organized the Knights and Retainer Knights for the watch, while Marcus took his men to check the guard devices. During this busy time, Paris suddenly approached, "Baron, I'm prepared to scout out the castle in Mane City to find out the internal situation of the stronghold."

As a Black Dragon Childe of a Light Dragon.

She could turn invisible using the ability to tug at light and shadow, which was an excellent reconnaissance skill.

Naturally, Liszt was willing for her to make a trip to the castle, knowing both ourselves and the enemy ensured victory in every battle. However, he did not immediately agree, "The castle of Mane City must have received news of our attack by now, and they will definitely defend every aspect rigorously. Wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to scout out?"

"Please trust my skills. As long as they don't possess abilities like yours, Baron, no one will find me. Even if they do, they can't keep me. I'll be back soon, and if possible, I might even kill a few leading knights along the way."

This wasn't bragging; Paris had such abilities.

However, Liszt shook his head, "The power of Mane City isn't strong, there's no need for your intervention. Just carefully find out whatever you can and do not put yourself in danger... You know, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you." As he spoke, he patted Paris's shoulder with his hand.

At once, a blush crept onto Paris's face, "I understand."

Liszt's mouth curved into a pleasing arc as he spoke calmly, "Moreover, I need to use the knights of Mane City for practice. This is my first time leading the Knight Order into battle, and finding a suitable whetstone isn't easy."

"Mhm."

Paris looked up at Liszt, "Baron, I will be back soon."

With that, her figure had already vanished from sight, the sound of her footsteps spreading into the distance, eventually blending into darkness, elusive as ever.

Liszt remained standing there, lost in thought for a moment.

"I've only made armor from the skin of the Six-Headed King Serpent for myself, and there's still plenty of skin left. I should make a set for Paris... Additionally, I should find an opportunity to forge the Mithril I have collected into Mithril Armor to equip my Knight Squad... It's a pity I don't have a blacksmith capable of forging Mithril."

Mithril, as a magic metal, demanded highly precise forging techniques beyond the capabilities of a normal blacksmith.

Immediately after.

He summoned the Smoke Mission.

Ever since setting foot on Iron Hoof Island.

The Smoke Mission had already indicated, "Mission completed, reward available: the awakening of Virginia Truth."

Virginia, residing in the Soul Storage Vessel, was ready to be brought forth, but the timing was not right, and Liszt did not bring her out — she was of little help on the battlefield, but once she mastered the Dragonbone Stabilizer Technique from the Magic Goat Family, she could answer questions once he returned.

Now, the smoke swirling before his eyes formed new Serpent Script with a new mission.

"Mission: Without taking the initial steps, there is no journey of a thousand miles. As a Dragon-Riding Landlord with aspirations to reach the four corners, please showcase your prowess on the battlefield. Only by personally slaying an enemy of equal rank can you stand out and earn greater glory. Reward: One Low-Level Dragon Breed Magical Beast."

"A Low-Level Dragon Breed Magical Beast!"

Excitement surged in Liszt's heart, "I wonder what kind of Dragon Breed Magical Beast it will reward me with. In the Duchy of Sapphire, Dragon Breed Magical Beasts are rare specimens. A Low-Level Dragon Breed Magical Beast won't be much worse off than an Intermediate Magical Beast... And if it can be bred in large quantities, it's even more valuable!"

According to some enthusiasts who rated the preciousness of mythical species, excluding legendary creatures such as Sea Serpents/Nixies and Vampires,

The first tier — Elf Kings and Dragons;

The second tier — Super Dragonkin Magical Beasts, also known as Sub-dragons;

The third tier — Dragon Elves;

```

Fourth rank — High-Level Dragonkin Magical Beast, also known as High-Level Dragon Beast;

Fifth rank — Greater Elf;

Sixth rank — Super Magical Beast;

Seventh rank — Intermediate Dragon Breed Magical Beast, also known as Intermediate Dragon Beast;

Eighth rank — Advanced Magical Beast;

Ninth rank — Little Minor Elf;

Tenth rank — Intermediate Magical Beast;

Eleventh rank — Low-Level Dragon Breed Magical Beast, also known as Low-Level Dragon Beast;

Twelfth rank — Dragon Breed Beasts;

Thirteenth rank — Elf Bug;

Fourteenth rank — Low-Level Magical Beast;

Fifteenth rank — Magical Beast breed creatures, that is, wild beasts mixed with a bit of magical beast lineage.

In Fresh Flower Town and Black Horse Island, Liszt already had two kinds of Dragon Breed Beasts, the Black Blood Treasured Horse and Dragon Breed Cows, as well as an Intermediate Magical Beast Blizzard Beast and a Low-Level Magical Beast Green-headed Duck. To count it all, there was also the Black Pearl Tridacna, which should be considered a Magical Beast breed creature, no, it should be said a Sea Monster Shell.

Each one is an industry worth developing vigorously.

Of course, they all need time to mature, and without several years of cultivation, they temporarily cannot explode with much value.

"I wonder if the Low-Level Dragon Beast rewarded from the Smoke Mission could be developed into a breeding industry, but in any case, in this battle to clear Mane City, I must personally kill an Elite Earth Knight!" Liszt did not have a bloodthirsty desire, nor did he like killing people.

But since it's war, one must be prepared for life and death situations.

From the moment he chose to step onto the battlefield, killing became a compulsory course, and in fact, he adapted quite well— the two rats were just one practice, since they chose to spy on the Black Knight Order, they were the enemy. He would definitely not mercifully let rats go, allowing them to take the news back to Mane City.

...

About an hour later.

Liszt was practicing "Breath Decay" when he heard familiar footsteps, causing him to look up at the door.

Knock knock knock.

The sound of knocking came, accompanied by Paris's voice, "Baron, it's me."

"Come in."

As Paris entered, he immediately asked, "Did you encounter any danger?"

"Not at all, the castle in Mane City is indeed very tense, but none of their knights could detect my presence," replied Paris with a hint of pride, then added, "It seems they do not plan to defend the castle to the death. I discovered they were digging tunnels leading towards Mane City."

"They're preparing to flee at any moment?"

"I think they might be bolder than we imagined. I have seen that Baron Moray and overheard his secret conversation with other knights. They're planning to gather through the tunnels in Mane City, and when you lead the Knight Order to attack the castle, they will launch an assault from Mane City."

Liszt nodded, "That's a very good plan... You've worked hard, Paris."

"It's just a small matter."

"You must be tired; get some rest early."

"Good night, Baron."
