Chapter 996: Chapter 0993: Generous Friend

The evolution of the Gourd Greater Elf Klay was a cause for celebration.

However, Liszt couldn’t help feeling a tinge of regret because the one evolving was not a Magic Potion or Grain class Minor Elf, but a Gourd Minor Elf.

In this world, gourds are similar to those on Earth; they also bear small gourds.

Currently, the uses of small gourds are twofold: one is to stir-fry them while tender as a type of vegetable; the other is to use them as containers for wine once they mature. But both uses lack significant potential for development—as vegetables, gourds have low yields, and as water containers, they have small volumes.

“Forget it, the fact that it evolved into a Greater Elf is enough; everything else is trivial.” Liszt hugged Klay with great affection.

At that moment, a cry of “Wah” rang out.

Klay immediately leapt from Liszt’s arms, staring wide-eyed at Thorn Greater Elf Jela, who floated at the door, and kept calling out to Liszt, “Bubbling bubbling!”

That was a plea for help.

“Ahem.” Liszt signaled Klay not to panic, then waved his hand to beckon Jela over.

Jela flew over with her hands clasped behind her back, full of pomp: “Liszt, this little elf has been disobedient, causing havoc all over the castle; you must educate it properly!”

“Education is fine, but you can’t physically hit the elves. It just told me that you hit it a few days ago.” Liszt looked forward to the effect Jela had, like a catfish effect, but hitting was not allowed—scolded Minor Elves might evolve in anger, but beaten Minor Elves could end up useless.

“I did not hit it, wah!” Jela glared at Klay before saying to Liszt, “I just scared it. Now that I’m a Greater Elf, I must maintain my authority while managing so many elves.”

“Ahem.”

Liszt was at a loss for words, unsure where Jela came up with so many ridiculous ideas.

And Jela’s ideas didn’t stop there: “Liszt, help me prepare a set of Flack·Abaie; I’m going to start wearing clothes.”

“Why suddenly decide to wear clothes?”

“Carly and Yadi both wear clothes, and as the Elf Butler, I naturally should too!”

“Alright, I’ll have the Tailor tailor a set of Flack·Abaie according to your size. But if you want to be the Elf Butler, you must pay close attention to your behavior in the future, because everything you do will set an example for the other elves.”

Jela snorted, “I understand!”

…

Days at the castle didn’t last long.

When March began, the young shoots in the fields gradually turned lush and green. After meeting with Ach, Liszt, carrying the Dragon Soul of the Sapphire Dragon, set out for the Azure Sky Peak Palace.

The funeral would be held in the coming days.

Envoy Groups from Blast Furnace Fortress, Steel Ridge, Eagle, and other countries had already arrived to mourn Duke Andrew.

Among them, the Envoy Group from Steel Ridge Kingdom was led by Liszt’s old friend, Mathew of the Red and White Roses.

After the banquet ended, he found Liszt to privately share his thoughts: “Your Majesty Liszt, you’re already twenty-one years old, and the Flame Kingdom’s development is fierce, with everything on the right track. Have you started to consider personal matters?”

“Mathew, my friend, I appreciate your and the Red and White Rose Family’s concern for me. I very much wish to establish a closer friendship with the Red and White Rose Family. However, with the countless affairs of the realm’s development, I hope to consider my personal matters after the founding of Flame Kingdom three years from now.”

“Another three years?”

“Two and a half years. My followers and I have a covenant to found the kingdom within three years, and now two and a half years remain.”

Mathew thought for a moment. His sister, Marilyn, was just sixteen years old and not yet of age. In another two and a half years, she would only be eighteen or nineteen: “If that’s the case, I won’t ask further. However, my sister Marilyn is having her coming-of-age ceremony in two months, and she hopes to have your blessing.”

“Marilyn’s coming-of-age ceremony? I will certainly send my blessings.”

“Additionally, I’ve also brought some gifts for you.”

“Ah, how can I possibly accept this?”

“It’s just a little token of appreciation from the Red and White Rose Family.”

“Thank you very much.”

Liszt smiled as he accepted the gift Mathew had brought, undoubtedly another batch of Platinum Magic Potion and Red Dragon Water—the Red and White Rose Family was always so generous!

And he had prepared some gifts in return—Contribution paper among white paper and glass crafts.

They were of little value, yet quite precious abroad.

Mathew was very satisfied with Liszt’s gifts, just as Liszt didn’t care for a bit of Contribution paper or glassware, Mathew didn’t really care for Platinum Magic Potion or Red Dragon Water either, because the Red and White Rose Family couldn’t possibly consume so much Magic Potion, but they valued the Contribution paper and glass crafts more.

In any case.

Both felt they had gained a great deal and thought the other to be truly generous, and their friendship deepened as they chatted about everything under the sun until midnight.

…

“Mathew brought you another batch of precious gifts?”

“Father, did you also receive gifts from Mathew?” In a guest room in the Azure Sky Peak Palace, Liszt and the Marquis of Bull Tail found time for a rare catch-up.

Li Weiliam nodded, “Mathew is very generous and gave me a batch of Platinum Magic Potion.”

“He is indeed generous.”

“What do you think?”

“I’ve told Mathew that I’m not considering personal matters before the founding of the kingdom.”

“In fact, I think Marilyn would be a great choice, but of course, you are the King, and it’s up to you to decide on your matters. I won’t interfere.”

With that, the topic ceased and soon shifted to a new one.

Li Weiliam asked, “I’ve received the Magic Guild’s transmission from Dimaria and learned about the Mermaid matter. Liszt, you’ve brought Knight’s glory once again.”

He held his teacup and felt very amazed inside.

He should have been incredibly surprised at the appearance of Mermaids, yet when he received the transmission from Dimaria’s Magic Platform, he was unexpectedly calm, without a ripple in his heart. It was like hearing a Little Minor Elf had evolved into a Greater Elf—there was surprise, but everything seemed so natural.

“Stumbling upon the Mermaids was an accident, and I didn’t expect that the sea still harbored seven Mermaids and millions of the Fish Ugly Race.”

“So, the legends about Mermaids are all true?”

“If Father is referring to those very beautiful descriptions, I can only say they are exaggerated. Actually, Mermaids are equivalent to Magicians and Nobles in the sea. They also wage war against each other due to desires and enslave a large number of Naga and Fish Ugly to work for them.”

Li Weiliam nodded, “Now that the seven Mermaids have offered you their Heart of the Mermaid, does it mean their loyalty is assured?”

“Pretty much, the Mermaid’s kingdom has long perished, and due to certain pollution issues, they have lost their ability to breed, unable to continue propagating the next generation of Mermaids. So, I don’t think they harbor any ambition to reign over the seas again.” Liszt said somewhat sentimentally.

He actually hoped that the Mermaids would regain their fertility, continuing to thrive in the ocean, as they were a magical species.

Besides, without the Mermaids, commanding the Fish Ugly wouldn’t be easy.

Once the Magic Guild had developed the Source of Vitality Potion for the Fish Ugly, it might be possible to help the Mermaids research the Source of Vitality Potion as well.

As his thoughts wandered.

Li Weiliam let out a long sigh, expressing his feelings, “Since leaving Coral Island, I’ve come to realize that this world hides so many magical wonders. If there is such a thing as Knight’s glory, I believe it all resides with you, my son, Liszt Flame.”

Liszt came back to his senses and smiled slightly, “Perhaps.”

If the Power of Destiny represented by the Smoke Dragon is a form of Knight’s glory, then Knight’s glory truly favors him.
