The Defeated Dragon Chapter 236

Chapter 236 – Advance-Level Magical Beast :Thousand-Eyed Tarantula

The magical abilities of a magical beast comes from two things ; half of it comes from its body's ability to absorb magic and the other half from its speed to do so. Compared to that of a low-level magical beast, a mid-level magical beast would naturally absorb magic from its surroundings so much faster.

The absorption method was quite subtle, so Liszt could not see it even with his Magic Eyes. But the Count as a Sky Knight could feel it clearly.

That is how the Count was able to conclude that Tremblingwoods has long reached the mid-level magical beast hierarchy.

As for the  blood boiling, it is a basis for judging the differences of the blood properties of the same species.The same species can be regarded as an evolutionary pedigree of their kind, such as ordinary dogs, wild dogs, and even Tremblingwoods . There is a clear difference to the vein of a weak magical beast and a powerful magical beast.

Powerful magical beast blood is very active, has a high flow rate, in short, its changing nature is quite obvious. For example, a dragon of this level of boiling blood has the ability to directly infect its surroundings.

The Count was rich in experience and his judgement that Tremblingwoods  is a mid-level magical beast concludes it all.

“Father, Tremblingwoods  only releases rock thorns at present, what do you think is limiting his ability to understand magic?” Liszt was being impractical,  the beast surely cannot learn new magic in a day. But after all, what kind of mid-level magical beast only knows rock thorns, or multiple rock thorns?

The Count reached out and touched the Tremblingwoods black fur, which made the beast hum in pleasure.” Don't worry, Liszt. It's still a puppy. It also needs time to settle. Like humans, magical beasts also need time to continue to acc.u.mulate magic and experience in order to truly transform and develop a more n.o.ble existence. “

"Wooow!"

Ella was on top of Liszt's head grasping strands of hair while screaming.

The sprite probably doesn't remember being in Tulip Castle before since at that time, it was only a sprite worm.

They talked more about Ella and Tremblingwoods.

On the main road, knights appeared and were led by Liszt's brother, Levis followed by Lytton.  Before they came close, a voice was already heard, “Liszt, why didn't you tell me in advance? I was delayed almost half a day at the Knights Academy.”

After turning over and dismounting, Levis hugged Liszt, and the brothers were very affectionate.

Liszt replied, "I missed you and father, so I came here earlier. You, my brother, have changed a lot after the battlefield. Even father's temperament."

Levis looked happy. "If I didn't go to war, I would just be a fledgling my whole life. But when I went to war, all I could see was blood. Looking back, I realized that a lot of things I did were naive."

Meanwhile, Lytton also stepped down and shouted “Brother Liszt.”

“Lytton, you're getting taller.” Liszt replied with a smile.This boy is only twelve years old, but he is at least 1.75 meters or more. At least the Count's attention doesn't depend entirely on Madame Mary's pillow.

The Count saw his three sons. Realizing that they have all performed well, he was very satisfied. But he still had a serious expression on his face.”Since they are all back, we can have a serious conversation.” After that, the Count went into the castle alone.

The Count went away.

Levis and Lytton immediately turned their attention to Ella and Tremblingwoods . Ella was nothing but a small sprite. Tulip Castle has eleven of those already. However, the charm of the mid-level magical beast has strongly attracted the two men's fantasies about famous horses and beasts.

The power of the middle-cla.s.s monster, Tremblingwoods , was visible in its shape. It was nothing compared to the low-cla.s.s Fire Rabbits of Tulip Castle.

Even with all the attention, Tremblingwoods' eyes would not depart Liszt.

———————–

Lunch was not served yet.

Levis, as the Count expected, pulled Liszt aside, and began to talk about his experience on the battlefield ; about a thousand miles of charging and attacking enemy castles, what he did to guard the forages, what was said in combat meetings, about how to save a female slave from death.

He may have exaggerated some details then and there.

But Liszt was actually interested, especially since Levis personally saw the confrontation between the Count and Count Figo. The Count was called the Wave Swordmaster, and Count Figo was called the Fire Swordmaster. The two sword saints flashed in the sky, their qi almost blocking the sun.

Fire and Water were in each other's throats, the Red River below almost drying up.

In the end, the Count's waves covered the fires of Count Figo and seriously injured him. Then followed a knights' charge, defeating the knights of the opponent in one fell swoop.

They later occupied the Red River Plain, plundered some resources and secured their achievement.

“Father's 'Big Wave Breaking the Tide of the Sea' technique was invincible. I really hope that one day I will break through the Sky Knight level and also have such a high grade of vigor. I will show such an incredible cheer! " Levi's admiration for the count was like a torrential river.

Even though he spoke with enthusiasm, his narrative was dry.

But Liszt can still feel the horror of the Battle of Swords. If the sword saints were as powerful as Levis said, Tremblingwoods would be so far from his opponent – after all, sword saints could fly in a short time, and Tremblingwoods could only jump.

He measured the gap between himself and the Sky Knights, and felt that it was bigger than he thought. “Unless Tremblingwoods develops new magic, such as flying rocks, which can be launched via air attack, he can be beaten quite easily.”

Suddenly, he thought of Paris again. He didn't know if the Black Dragon after the transformation could fight hundreds of rounds with a sword saint-probably for a period of time, but she will then be  defeated, or be corrupted of the dragon's powers, die , and become a White Dragon.

“Brother, did a Dragon Knight appear in this war?”

“No, unless the war was undeniably out of control, no country is willing to send Dragon Knights or dragons. There is too much uncertainty involved. In fact, I didn't even see the Sapphire Dragon of the Grand Duke. Every battle was fought with Sky Knights as the main force. “

He paused and said excitedly, “But I did see an advanced-level magical beast, a thousand-eyed tarantula, the mount of the Marquis Gladdon of Eagle Kingdom, jumping higher than a Sky Knight's flight. Unfortunately, Gladden was there to deliver the truce. I was with Marquis Rodrik and we could feel the breath of the thousand-eyed tarantula, we were all trembling! “

“Why did this war end so soon?”

“Because of the intervention of Blast Furnace Kingdom. The daughter of the King of  Eagle Kingdom was married off to the younger brother of the King of Blast Furnace, Duke of Heisenberg.” Levis said and his voice was a little low, “The Duke of Heisburg has a dragon. It is said that he may become a dragon knight before he turns forty. “

Liszt frowned. “So, the Eagle Kingdom and the Blast Furnace Kingdom are allies now?”

“It's not so bad. It is normal for kings to have alliances with each other, but we're still at war. It's just that we just occupied the Red River Plain, but there's not enough time to search and sc.r.a.pe up more supplies and minerals, so we had to retreat……The revenue is less than last year's.”

The Count made his fortune by looting Eagle Kingdom, and each attack brought back a great amount of resources.

Liszt wanted to ask how much iron was brought this year, but he held back. He was going to going to live in Tulip Castle for a few days anyway. He can initiate business discussions slowly.
