Chapter 39 (2/2)

Everybody enjoyed the food in this harmonious atmosphere.

…

After seeing off the knights, Liszt had an afternoon nap in the castle, and the familiar misty mission was updated. Mission accomplished. Reward: three wild corn.

Soon, the mist changed, and a new mission was released.

Mission: As a lord, it’s your responsibility to tend to the elves. Have you forgotten the wheat elvish insect? It can produce more food for your territory. Please settle the wormgrass for the wheat insect. Reward: information on the invisible dragon.

Information on the invisible dragon? What’s that?

A bold idea suddenly popped up in Liszt’s head. Are the misty missions going to give me a dragon? That seems too much. A dragon can change the course of a country. What does invisible dragon mean? A dragon that cannot be seen?

According to the memories of his former self, there were three types of dragons.

The first type was the gemstone dragon. The sapphire dragon of Archduchy Sapphire, for example, was one of the gemstone dragons. The ruby on the sword that Marquis Merlin gave Liszt was also produced by gemstone dragons and contained marvelous power.

The second type was the metal dragon. The iron dragon which fought the sapphire dragon in the knight novels was a metal dragon that could produce iron ores. Metal dragons were more numerous than gemstone dragons.

The last type was the elemental dragon, such as fire dragons and water dragons. They could hardly be tamed, but they were highly destructive because of their powerful magical elements. They were often the targets that the warriors tried to slay in knight novels.

Gemstone, metal, and elemental—which category does the invisible dragon belong to? Liszt was puzzled.

He decided to ask someone else.

He summoned Carter. “Mr. Carter, have you ever heard of the invisible dragon?”

Carter thought for a moment and replied, “No, I don’t think so, my lord.”

In the afternoon, he visited Goltai and his friends in town. He also considered it a chance to look for the three wild corn.

“Invisible dragon?”

Goltai scratched his chin. “I think I heard of it from somewhere before. Isaiah, Blair, do you remember?”

Isaiah and Blair searched their memories carefully and shook their heads.

After half an hour, Goltai still couldn’t decide if he had heard about the invisible dragon before. “One tends to become senile when they are old. Liszt, I’m sorry for wasting your time. It’s possible that I’ve never heard about an invisible dragon before.”

“It’s nothing. Right, Mr. Goltai, what jobs have you given to Isaiah and Blair?”

“I’m in charge of political affairs, Isaiah is in charge of finances, and Blair manages law and diplomacy.”

“In that case, I’ll entrust the development of Flower Town to the three of you.” Liszt did not stay long in the town. He was confident in developing Flower Town, but he did not intend to micromanage and preferred to get work done through his subordinates, such as Goltai.

It was not easy for him to be reborn as a noble. Wouldn’t it be a waste if he exhausted himself?

After he returned to the castle, Liszt thought to himself, Since the reward is information on the invisible dragon, does it mean that nobody will know what the invisible dragon is until I accomplish the mission?

Immediately, he left the castle for Wheaton. The wormgrass of the wheat insect that the earl rewarded was not settled yet.
