In the morning, he would cultivate his Dou Qi, train Douson, and supervise the workshop; in the afternoon, he focused on studying magic, particularly the spells mastered by the magician Granney. This magician was proficient in Fire and Water System Magic, had a slight understanding of Wind and Earth System Magic, and knew nothing of the magic of lightning, ice, darkness, and the like.

“The difficulty of cultivating magic is far greater than that of cultivating Dou Qi.”

“The steps of casting magic are meditation, model, runes, and release.”

“Meditation is to summon spiritual power to connect with magic power; the model is to mobilize the connected magic power and form a bridge between the internal and external magic power; runes are used to repair the model and strengthen the channels for magic power’s ingress and egress; release – when the bridge is complete and the channels are secure, with spiritual power as the guide, magic can be cast.”

“Each spell has a fixed model and runes, and it takes time to master them. For example, I can instantly cast the Fireball Technique and Water Arrow Spell because I have cast them thousands of times, imprinting the details of the magic in my body and brain, and can naturally release them.”

“But for the Earth System’s Flying Rock Technique and the Wind System’s Wind Blade Spell, I must spend time constantly adjusting the model and supplementing the runes to cast them smoothly.”

“There are many spells I have mastered that require secrecy; I can only show you the Fireball Technique, Water Arrow Spell, Flying Rock Technique, and Wind Blade Spell.”

“Every magician is also a Casting Master of Magic Equipment; actually, the principle is very simple. Making magic equipment is just carving a casting model. The core material can be seen as a rough casting model, while supplementary materials are the runes that fill in the model… Additionally, materials from Magical Beasts are a good source of runes.”

“That Fierce Earth Dog of yours is quite extraordinary, I bet that if you slaughtered it and added it to a Black Pearl, I could even create a piece of Magic Equipment that rivals a Little Elf Weapon!”

Granney said this with a gleam in his eyes.

Little Elf Weapons, more precious than gemstone weapons.

As the name implies, Little Elf Weapons are forged with the blood of Little Minor Elves – their blood, imbued in the weapon, can endow it with miraculous magic power. Although all the kingdoms have enacted laws to prohibit the slaughter of Minor Elves, the use of Minor Elves in forging weapons is a persistent issue.

After all, some Minor Elves are of little use in agricultural production.

“Don’t bring up Little Elf Weapons anymore,” Liszt commented with deep loathing, finding Elves to be beautiful beings that shouldn’t be treated this way. “Furthermore, don’t even think about Douson. Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind letting Douson have some ‘intimate contact’ with you.”

Granney sneered at Liszt, his eyes filled with contempt.

He probably thought Liszt was a hypocrite, as many Nobles spoke against elf slaughter but secretly used the ‘useless’ Minor Elves to forge Elf Weapons – not just Little Elf Soldiers, but also Greater Elf Warriors and even Dragon Elf Weapons.

He licked his lips: “So, you’re saying you’re willing to let me study that Fierce Earth Dog, Douson?”

“Granney, I advise you not to think like that. Douson is very dangerous.”

“Magical Beasts are all dangerous.”

“It’s especially dangerous,” Liszt warned lightly, and after work was done, if the other party was still not dissuaded, he would not mind letting Douson loose for a while. “Let’s talk about that Black Pearl. I want you to design a control device during the manufacturing process, allowing it to be switched on and off freely.”

If the Black Pearl was always suppressing the storm, clearly, relying on paddles alone wouldn’t be enough for long-distance voyaging.

When there are no severe storms, the effects of the Black Pearl would be sealed. Then, when a storm came, it would be unsealed.

Granney thought for a moment: “No problem, that’s easy. I already have a complete idea on how to make an exquisite piece of Magic Equipment, and in fact, I can hardly wait. Add another Douson to it, and the Black Pearl will be even more outstanding!” He circled back to the topic.

Liszt picked up the cold drink on the table, ignoring him.

Granney waited momentarily, then seeing the awkward silence, added, “I saw a walled area near the Castle, there is a Fierce Earth Dog inside. Using it should suffice.”

“Impossible.”

“Then, what about this Magical Beast that’s chirping away, the Wind Falcon, right? It could be worth a try.”

Juan Fu?

Liszt was about to refuse when he suddenly paused.

Juan Fu was a mystery when it came to training; he had even thought of using hunger as a means to train it. But after all, it was a bird, and if let loose, it would immediately fly away. The falconer was nowhere to be found, and if Juan Fu stayed in the Castle, it would only be good for display, and perhaps for meat before it learned the Wind Blade Spell.

“Do you know any falconers?”

“You want to tame it?”

“This wind falcon was picked up from an egg, it recognizes people, but lacks training. It can’t even cast magic.”

“It’s best to slaughter it, its materials as a wind system magical beast make for better rune-assisting agents in supporting the Black Pearl, suppressing storms.”

“I want to know if you recognize a falconer.”

Granney was silent for a moment before slowly nodding: “I do know one, but I still suggest that you slaughter it to use as auxiliary material for the Black Pearl.”

Under Liszt’s persistent questioning, he finally revealed the name of the falconer—Elkerson True, another magician residing in Coral City.

Knowing the existence of the falconer,

Liszt was eager to invite him over, so he forced the reluctant Granney to write an invitation letter, since the two magicians knew each other.

“Juan Fu’s fate has taken a turn.”

He was in high spirits.

What remained was to see when Elkerson True would arrive.

When the letter was sent out,

the crystal craftsman Brad happened to come to Fresh Flower Town to work with Granney on carving crystal lamps.

It was also that very night, the fourth night of the workshop’s construction, that Goltai rode his horse at a gallop to the castle to report to Liszt: “Sir, the workshop has been completely finished!”

“Very good, finished in four days, exceeding expectations! Consultant Goltai, as I said, triple the wages of the serfs who worked on it.”

“As you wish. Do you need to inspect the workshop personally?”

“No need.”

Liszt didn’t have time to inspect it; he had already started calling for the Smoke Mission.

“Complete the task, reward: the bottleneck of Dou Qi.”

“Task: No matter how many candles are lit, the flickering flames can hurt the eyes. Since you are already accustomed to staying up late, take care of yourself and find a new stable light source. Please install ten crystal lamps in the castle. Reward: Mutated Thorn.”

Task complete, a new task appeared—the anticipated chain mission.

“Another mutated thorn, it seems I was very prescient not to cut down the Rapid Growth Thorn Bug,” Liszt’s mouth curved into a smile.

Every time he completed a Thorn Bug chain mission, it increased the chances of the Thorn Bug’s evolution into a little elf.

“Ten crystal lamps, a task purely of benefits. I need to urge Granney and Brad later to hurry up and finish making the crystal lamps.”

Suddenly,

his attention shifted, focusing on himself: “The bottleneck of Dou Qi, when will it come? I don’t seem to have reached the bottleneck; the Dou Qi inside me is still slowly growing.”

After feeling it for a moment,

he called for Butler Carter: “Mr. Carter, for tonight’s late-night snack, ask Mrs. Abbie to fry up an extra batch of magical beast meat steaks, I’m feeling a bit hungry.”

Have a big meal, get a good night’s sleep, and quietly await the arrival of the bottleneck.
