The Mighty Dragons Are Dead

Chapter 281: Cultivating a Water Mage (Fifth Update)
The workshop area had a separate, huge factory district planned for the expansion of the Brewing Workshop.

The Carpenter’s Shop, Smithy, Bone Craftsman Shop, and Cooperage organized by officials worked together from dawn to dusk, rushing to make brewing equipment.

Even the Brad family, who ran the Crystal Workshop but could only carve Volcanic Glass all day, received a new task to carve some key equipment positions with Volcanic Glass.

The town was bustling, yet the Castle remained as peaceful as ever.

Only, on the shelves in Liszt’s study were additional bottles filled with Fresh Flower Brew, not for drinking, but kept as mementos.

These were the true original liquor of the Fresh Flower Brew.

After completing today’s Knight training lesson, Liszt took a bath in the bathroom and then went to the Worm Room. He chatted with Sea Sprite Ake and, by the way, enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

Recently, Sea Sprite Ake had become fascinated by all kinds of books.

Since she couldn’t read, Liszt often taught her. It wasn’t clear if it was a racial talent, but she learned very quickly and soon remembered a large amount of Serpent Script, allowing her to read independently.

She especially loved to study those Magic Books, and was extremely curious about magic.

At the moment.

The Shell was open.

Minor Elf Jela was soaking in the Seawater, a part of what belonged to Ake. Liszt touched it with his hand, finding it not much different from ordinary seawater, probably just warmer and lacking the usual chill of seawater. It was hard to imagine that these waters would eventually grow Ake’s legs.

“Liszt, you’re here.”

“Yeah, Ake, are you still reading books?”

“I’m looking at ‘Fredo’s Fireball Technique.’ This Magic Apprentice, Fredo Truth is so funny, he actually rubbed a Fireball Technique from the back of his hand, hee hee, so silly.” Ake closed the book, revealing a sweet smile.

Jela, with eyes closed, only opened them upon hearing Liszt speak, glanced at Liszt, and continued soaking in the seawater, enjoying the warmth blissfully. Behind her, nine Elf Bugs of various colors swam in the seashell sea as well.

No guessing needed; it was Jela who had thrown the Elf Bugs in.

“It is pretty funny, but magicians are all humans with some unusual ideas.” Liszt poked Jela’s belly with his hand, only to have Jela scurry away, “They’re in the Shell there, they aren’t disturbing your reading, are they?”

“Not at all, Jela and the insect babies are very quiet.”

“Only around you are they quiet. Outside, Jela is the top bully of Fresh Flower Town.”

Hearing someone speak ill of her, Jela protested, poking her head out of the Seawater and crying out “Wah” to object. But after being glared at by Liszt, she tucked her head back in again and continued to bathe.

After chatting for a while.

Ake suddenly lifted her hand, “Liszt, is this how magic is released?”

“Hmm?”

She spoke while seeming to gather Magic Power, “Imagine a bridge between the spirit and Magic Power, get familiar with them, experience them. I can only get along with Water Attribute Magic Power; they’re like many gentle little babies that will heed my call.”

Then, something unexpected happened to Liszt.

On her delicate hand, she was truly gathering a ball of water bit by bit. The ball of water slowly twisted, then elongated into the spiral shape of an arrow.

“I’ve read a book about the Water Arrow Spell, and I think the magic principles recorded in the book are very simple. It seems very easy for me to do.”

That crystal-clear Water Arrow looked so vivid and real.

Using the Eye of Magic, Liszt observed that the Magic Power of the Water Arrow originated from the free Magic Power in the air, not from Ake’s own Magic Power.

This was the Magic released by magicians, unexpectedly taking shape in the hands of a Sea Sprite.

“Ake, release the Water Arrow Spell outside the window.”

“Oh.”

Ake obediently pushed with her hand, and the water arrow shot out like a real sharp arrow, flying out of the window and finally disappearing into the horizon, “Hee hee, the water arrow flew out, Li Si Te, have I learned the Water Arrow Spell?”

“You have learned it!”

Liszt’s eyes gleamed, as he had already overestimated as much as possible the role of the sea sprite, feeling that she was a strategic aid to the launch of his age of navigation. But now, it must be revised, for the sea sprite could not only play an important role in navigation, she also had the potential to become a magician.

A Water Mage.

At this moment, an irresistible idea arose in him, to cultivate the Sea Sprite Ake into a Grand Magician of the Water System, or even a Water Mage.

With her talent for self-learning, it seemed that becoming a Water Mage was not an impossibility.

In his excitement, he couldn’t help but reach out and stroke Ake’s deep blue hair, “I will collect all the Magic Books that record Water Magic, you can immerse yourself in studying Water Magic, and in the future strive to become a Sea Sprite Magician.”

“Can Ake be called a Magician?”

“Of course, as long as you work hard.”

“Mm!”

…

One good piece of news followed another.

Fresh Flower Brew was successfully created, the Sea Sprite Ake learned magic, and then, after Liszt had been feeding the little Blizzard Beasts for most of a month, they finally opened their eyes one after another at the end of January.

The first person they saw was Liszt, and that first glance represented recognition of their master.

Perhaps this so-called recognition of master was not to the extent of unwavering loyalty, but it meant the eight little Blizzard Beasts all regarded Liszt as the person closest to them, in the role of a father or mother. With slow training and cultivation, they would, like Douson, follow Liszt’s commands.

“What should their names be?” Liszt found himself in a bit of a predicament.

There were eight in a row, all with black fur and more or less the same size, chunky and not easy to distinguish. In fact, Liszt had already forgotten the order in which they were born.

In the end, recalling how he treated Douson, Liszt decided to craft a collar for each of the eight Blizzard Beasts.

Every collar was adorned with a nameplate.

The colors of the nameplates had to be different so that at a glance one could tell which was which and not call them by the wrong names. He also decided to raise the Blizzard Beasts separately; having raised dogs before, he knew all too well the horrors of a litter of puppies. Once they go mad, they could wreak havoc.

Raised separately, trained separately, until all the Blizzard Beasts could obey commands, then brought together to undergo military-style training.

To prepare for the battlefield in the future.

“My lord, all four kennels have been covered with cotton pads, ready for the Blizzard Beasts to move in. The dog collars you ordered to be made have also been delivered from the Tanners’ Shop, eight sets in total,” Butler Carter walked into the room, reporting.

“Then let’s move them today, clean the entertainment room thoroughly, especially the smell must be cleared away, it’s too offensive.”

“I will instruct Mrs. Morson to handle it.” Carter continued, “Then, what names would you like engraved on the nameplates for the eight Blizzard Beasts you wish to make?”

“Wait until I think of them,” Liszt replied.

“Yes, sir.”

As the servants began to carry the eight little Blizzard Beasts one by one into the four kennels set apart in different locations, Liszt waved his hand calling out the Smoke Mission.

“Complete the mission, reward eight Intermediate Magical Beast Blizzard Beasts.”

Seeing the Smoke Serpent Script clearly, Liszt smiled faintly.

Indeed.

Fed with Dragon Breed Milk, the Blizzard Beasts had stabilized their foundations and become Intermediate Magical Beasts!
