The Defeated Dragon

Buckwheat Elf Atlantis, renamed Artie, officially resides on Flame Island and is located on the buckwheat plantation around Fireworks City - the plantation was rebuilt long before Artie arrived, as Lester had already received several buckwheat elbugs.

But after the contract, Artie was somewhat silent.

Always depressed.

It was humiliated by Carrie when she first met Carrie the Cannibal Dragon Elf at Fort Fire. Anyway, “nobody wants a Pokémon”, "little man be honest”, "can't even speak snake language”, “waste, garbage, if you can do it, you can also grow magic potion”.

Luckily Artie doesn't know Snake yet and doesn't understand what Carrie said.

Carrie didn't continue to be a tough guy after Lister beat her up, and she stayed in Fort Fire for a few days and went out a lot. Carrie, with her earthy magic, often travels with the cannibal tree community in search of new varieties of cannibal trees to generate income for Lester.

Its fighting power was not strong, but its life-saving skills were top notch, and Lister let it go after several unsuccessful attempts to dissuade it.

“Artie, what do you usually like to do? ”

“Play the piano. ”

“Well, yeah, I love playing the piano, too, and if I wasn't busy at work, maybe I'd be a piano master. ”

“What do you play?” Artie was not very excited.

“I play a lot. Have you heard of Elise? ”

“I've heard, I'll play. ”

Lister laughed: "This piano song was played by an unknown pianist when I was younger, and was later trimmed with my modifications and eventually finalized. I didn't expect it to have reached the Eagle Kingdom in just a few years. ”

Artie was surprised: "You really play the piano. ”

“I'll teach you a few new piano songs sometime, all by me and not yet disseminated.” Lester said.

His memory improved greatly after riding the dragon, and many of the piano tunes he had heard in his previous life came to mind. A little refinement is a classic, but after all, he is busy on business and has no time to organize his book, Lester's Piano Collection.

He is still in the process of organizing his creations, with only one copy of the Complete Manual of Li Strong Knight Training, which covers all the experience of Dragon Riding Training.

This is a masterpiece to be handed down as a flame family heirloom and must be taken seriously.

With the topic of playing the piano, Lester succeeded in eliminating strangeness with Artie, but he didn't have time to talk to Artie all day. After preparing a piano room specially for Artie and a complete set of piano scores, he left Fireworks in a hurry.

Check Emily's progress on the dragon first.

Little progress has been made.

But Ethan, the shallow green gemstone, did not show any aversion to Emily, indicating that she still had great hopes for success on the dragon.

“Are you tired of managing the Giant Elephant Knights and taking care of the Snowstorm Beast and insisting on practicing with the dragons? ”

“Your Highness, I'm not tired at all, for me, being with Ethan is relaxing. ”

“Well, riding a dragon isn't just an instant, getting ready for a long war.” Lister stretched her hand and patted Emily's shoulder, instantly flashing a slight blush on the girl's face.

Lester loved to pat her shoulder like this when she was a little girl.

As Emily grew older and the aristocratic etiquette became more strictly observed, Lester had not done this intimate gesture of patting her shoulders for a long time.

She raised her head and her bright eyes sparkled: "Rest assured, Your Highness! ”

……

In September, the sun had diminished, and the climate on Flame Island would be drought in the autumn and winter months, crops had stopped growing and food had begun to scarce.

Even with flame collars and cattle tail collars that continue to deliver food here, the growing number of serfs is not keeping pace.

Over the past few months, the Knights of Lester and Lee William have been collecting and killing native Moon tribes. A third of the forest in the southeast half of Flame Island was visited by the Order, which compiled 1.2 million lunar serfs.

Fortunately, the number of flamethrowers has reached 300,000, a proportion sufficient to manage monthly killings.

To demonstrate his support for his son's nation-building, Lee William did not develop his enclosed Tulip Island on a large scale, but placed most of his family's Knight Regiment under Lester's administration in support of Flame Island development - he knew that the better Flame Island development, the better it would be for the development of the surrounding islands.

A flourishing large island market, far more than a flourishing small island market.

Most importantly, he and Lester have agreed - planting fields is better than robbery.

“The eagle kingdom waged a dragon slaughter battle against me. I must not be avenged if I want to die. And the Eagle Kingdom has never apologized to me and compensated me for my loss... The Buckwheat Elf is ransom, not compensation... If they don't, I'll take it myself. ”

“Lester, the Fire Kingdom has signed an agreement with the Eagle Kingdom to ban dragon-level fighting, and we don't necessarily have much to do at the knight level alone.” Bulltail Marquis Lee William said.

He is still the Cowtail Marquis of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, and Lester is still the Flaming Marquis. These titles and titles will be retained pending the official proclamation of the Kingdom of Fire.

“Although I signed an agreement with the Kingdom of the Sapphire, the Sapphire family did not. This time, the Grand Duke of the Sapphire launched a pioneering order, and all our Knights carried sapphire flags… In addition, I let the Sapphire Dragon go out to rob, and I secretly held the Dragon Knight of the Kingdom of the Eagle. ”

William Lee had no objection: “So good. ”

So the father and son quickly went to the Blue Sky Engine Palace to find the Grand Duke of Sapphire to discuss the war. Only a few months later, the Grand Duke of Sapphire has aged seventy or eighty years old, and his breath is seriously weakened, especially at the mental level, and his atrophy is particularly severe.

“Grand Duke Andrew, how are you feeling? ”

“Looks like I can no longer hide it, Your Majesty. I don't have much time, and I'm afraid I'll be handing over the sapphire to Anthony soon.” The Grand Duke sighed, "I thought I could hold on for a few years, paving the way for Anthony, and now I can only hope for you, Your Highness. ”

“Grand Duke, please say I can help. ”

“His Majesty should remember the dragon slaughter in that year, when the Bull Marquis revolted and assassinated the Sapphire Dragon, using a vicious soul magic that tore the Sapphire Dragon's soul apart. To save Sapphire Dragon's life, I had to overpower my soul to maintain Sapphire Dragon. ”

But the soul of man is too weak compared to the soul of a dragon. The Grand Duke of Sapphire has long run out of oil.

“Two years later, I still hadn't found a way to repair Sapphire Dragon's soul, and Andy was locked up in the dungeon, but all kinds of experiments couldn't cut off the soul of his merged dragon and give it back to Sapphire Dragon... I had no choice but to let Anthony continue to repair Sapphire Dragon in my place after I died. ”

“I'm afraid not. What if Anthony can't fix it?” Lister frowned and asked.

“I also have a second son, Angus, who will replace Anthony when he dies. When Angus can't finish, Anthony's children should also be adults...”
