Chapter 121 - 0121: Dragonbone Stabilizer and Bloodline Fruit



The shipwreck incident was resolved satisfactorily.

The Smoke Mission was consequently completed.

“Mission completed, the reward is a piece of a broken skeleton.”

Undoubtedly, the item awarded for this mission was the large bone found within the dragonbone, carved with magic runes. Naturally, the bone was part of Liszt’s collection, and its purpose was not yet clear—it could basically be determined that this bone was a piece of magic equipment.

Placed within the dragonbone of ships, it likely related to sailing equipment.

Thereafter, Captain Kostor, the most knowledgeable about sailing in Fresh Flower Town, clarified Liszt’s confusion about the bone, “Lord Landlord, this bone is indeed a piece of magic equipment. It’s called a ‘Dragonbone Stabilizer,’ and it can make the ship’s dragonbone more stable, thus making the ship sturdier. But its most significant function is the deterrence of sea monsters.”

“Dragonbone Stabilizer? Deterrence of sea monsters?”

Captain Kostor spoke fervently, “Most Dragonbone Stabilizers are made of the skeletal remains of high-level dragonkin magical beasts because they contain the bloodline of dragons. When stimulated by magic power, it can produce a faint Dragon Might, thereby scaring away sea monsters… Lord Landlord, this Dragonbone Stabilizer was custom-made for the Fresh Flower Vessel!”

The skeletal remains of a high-level dragonkin magical beast.

In terms of hierarchical distribution, high-level dragonkin magical beasts are even rarer entities than Greater Elves. On the islands of the Duchy of Sapphire, such high-level dragonkin magical beasts are seldom found. In fact, even advanced magical beasts are scarce within the nation, and only a single intermediate magical beast, the Purple Sand Crocodile, is currently present on Coral Island.

This bone was extremely precious and had been carved with runes by a magician.

Liszt immediately infused his own Dou Qi into the Dragonbone Stabilizer, and the magic runes on it gradually lit up. Moments later, it had become a glowing bone staff.

A faint, heart-throbbing pressure began to emanate from the staff.

Liszt had experienced this pressure before when facing the Formless Dragon; the Dragon Might made it hard for his Dou Qi to circulate. However, the Dragon Might from the staff was much weaker and did not affect his Dou Qi circulation—this was Dragon Might amplified by magic runes, and after all, dragonkin magical beasts are not true dragons, with a diluted bloodline.

“It’s somewhat of a letdown, such Dragon Might is somewhat weak in its influence.”

“Not at all weak, Lord Landlord. I’m covered in goosebumps, and I feel as if I’m suffocating. Those sea monsters, regardless of size, would definitely flee as far as they could upon sensing the Dragon Might.”

That made sense.

The majesty of a dragon wasn’t just something humans understood; as the natural enemies of magical beasts and sea monsters, sensing the presence of a natural predator, they would invariably flee. This Dragonbone Stabilizer was a treasure.

Liszt handed the Dragonbone Stabilizer to the Retainer Knight to hold and told Captain Kostor, “I’ll keep it for now, and if the Fresh Flower Vessel ever sets sail, I’ll decide then whether to install it on the ship.”

Captain Kostor was somewhat disappointed but still bowed respectfully, as he dared not question the decision of the landlord.

“By the way, Captain Kostor, since the sunken ship had a Dragonbone Stabilizer, why doesn’t the Fresh Flower Vessel have one?” Liszt suddenly thought of a question.

“The technology to craft Dragonbone Stabilizers has been lost with the fall of the Cohen Marquis Family. I once saw a sea vessel passed down from the Cohen Marquis Family and that was when I learned what Dragonbone Stabilizers were. It was a unique magic equipment manufacturing technology mastered by the magicians of the Cohen Marquis Family.”

The key to the Dragonbone Stabilizer’s technology was probably in the magic runes carved on its surface.

The Cohen Marquis were the founding marquises of the Duchy of Sapphire, among the first followers of the Sapphire Duke a hundred years ago.

However, the Cohen Marquis Family later seemed to have become embroiled in a court coup and afterward… they were no more.

This matter was not recorded officially, and over the span of more than a hundred years, there weren’t many left who cared for the Cohen Marquis. There were too many nobles lost to history; it is the living who are worth socializing with, whereas the dead are forgotten.

The magicians who mastered the technology.

They must have also become a speck of dust in history along with the Cohen Marquis.

“What a pity, the Dragonbone Stabilizer has a huge impact on sailing… If we want to sail toward the Devil’s Sea, the Dragonbone Stabilizer could definitely play a significant auxiliary role. If we could find a dragon’s skeleton to make the stabilizer, I’m afraid even the fiercest sea monster would turn tail and flee.”

It is said that the Devil’s Sea has great storms and huge sea monsters, with no ships able to sail upon it.

However, Liszt was very curious about the Devil’s Sea, or rather, about what lay beyond the sea, “Sooner or later, I’ll hire a magician to research the Dragonbone Stabilizer Technique for me.”

To launch the great age of sea exploration!

There are still many secrets left to unravel.

Why would a specter be hiding inside a Dragonbone Stabilizer, how did the specter kill that woman, why would the specter enter a metal bottle, and whether it could continue to survive in the Gemstone Space. What state of existence it holds, who it was while alive, what it looked like, and why it boasts a magnificent 36D.

All are questions.

However, Liszt did not continue to ponder at the moment.

A new mission was waiting for him.

“Mission: After the torrential rain, Thorn Ridge is more replete with magic power than ever before. A solitary magic potion plant is nurturing a fruit that can change the bloodline of a magical beast; perhaps a new intermediate magical beast is about to be born, and a crisis is looming over Fresh Flower Town. Please solve the crisis. Reward: A Bloodline Fruit.”

The Bloodline Fruit is not a species of plant.

It is a rather special existence among magic potions, an anomaly produced by an ordinary plant, but it cannot reproduce, even with the help of a corresponding elf.

When the fruit gathers enough magic power and matures, it’s the moment the plant dies.

The fruit is called the Bloodline Fruit, a highly condensed embodiment of magic power, capable of stimulating the bloodline evolution of wild beasts and magical beasts—It’s said that wild beasts can gather magic power and become magical beasts after eating the Bloodline Fruit; low-level magical beasts that consume it in large amounts can evolve into higher-level beasts.

The Bloodline Fruit cannot be cultivated and is extremely precious.

Moreover, it’s something one may encounter by chance but cannot seek out. After maturation and falling to the ground, the magic power begins to fade, and in about a few minutes, it will devolve into an ordinary fruit.

Many nobles are searching for the Bloodline Fruit, to raise domesticated livestock-type magical beasts—The Fire Rabbit is a small magical beast that has been artificially bred using the Bloodline Fruit, specially raised for consumption.

Of course.

The magic power of the Bloodline Fruit is astonishing, and after consuming it, there have been quite a few wild beasts and magical beasts that died from being “over-nourished.”

Seeing this mission, Liszt was anything but calm, “I must obtain the Bloodline Fruit; otherwise, if an intermediate magical beast evolves in Thorn Ridge, Fresh Flower Town will suffer. I don’t want to live under the shadow of an intermediate magical beast at all times!”

An intermediate magical beast can contend with a human Sky Knight and, with thick skin and flesh, are generally not something a Sky Knight can deal with.

The purple sand crocodile in the shallow waters to the south of Coral Island has been discovered for many years and is still living well.

It’s not that the Earl doesn’t want to hunt it but that the risk is too great. If the Earl gets killed by the purple sand crocodile in retaliation, the loss would be more than the gain. It’s better to leave the shallow water area for the Purple Sand Croccoli to reproduce and thrive, and there’s no need to take risks as long as they do not overstep the boundary.

An Earl’s family with extensive estates can afford to set aside an area to raise magical beasts.

But Liszt cannot afford this; once an intermediate magical beast evolves in Thorn Ridge, there will be no peace for Fresh Flower Town.

“Teacher Marcus, the Knight Squad has been training for several months, it’s time to start eradicating the magical beasts of Thorn Ridge and eliminate all threats!”
