Chapter 347: Dragon Beast Sailboat and Goat Gathering

The 36D spirit had transformed into a young woman, but her bust size remained at 36D.

When she was still the 36D ghost, her face was almost impossible to make out, but now it was very clear, vaguely resembling Curtis Truth, and she was very beautiful.

However, their styles were completely opposite. Curtis always exuded an eerie, lich-like aura, with green light surrounding her, making people very uncomfortable. The young woman before him, emanating white light, appeared rather sacred.

"You can't remember who you are?" Liszt looked at the soul container in his hand, feeling utterly astonished.

With just one inhalation and one release, the originally ferocious and terrifying ghost had become a holy light. From this, it was clear that the soul container was absolutely an artifact-level magical device.

And it did bear some resemblance to the magic lamp from *One Thousand and One Nights*, at least the young woman’s body looked like a mass of smoke emerging from the spout of the teapot.

Her upper body was in human form, but her lower body was still smoke.

The young woman lowered her eyelids, as if deep in thought.

Liszt did not disturb her.

In fact, he had some speculations.

The 36D spirit originated from the Dragonbone Anchorage, from a wrecked ship of the Magic Goat family. The wrecked ship carried five chests of treasure: two chests of magic books, one of crystals, one of jade, and one of mithril. The ability to carry such cargo indicated that this ship was no ordinary vessel; it should have been an important ship of the Magic Goat family.

So, it wasn’t difficult to guess the identity of the spirit sealed within the Dragonbone Anchorage of such a ship. She should have been related to the Magic Goat family.

Adding to that, the more he looked at her resemblance to Curtis, the more it corroborated Liszt's guess. She might have been a member of the Magic Goat family, perhaps even someone whose soul was extracted and sealed in the Dragonbone Anchorage by Curtis.

"The Magic Goat family..."

A family long forgotten by time, yet it kept entangling Liszt. He didn’t know whether to feel honored or unlucky.

He also recalled Millery Truth, who was killed by Parris. Millery seemed to have ties with the Magic Goat family as well; her research notes were all marked with the goat symbol. As for the magician Cris, who was still unconscious, he wondered if she had any connection to the Magic Goat family. At the very least, the soul container seemed to be the work of an evil magician like Curtis.

After a moment of thought.

The young woman lifted her head distractedly and looked at Liszt again. "I can't remember... It's as if I'm no longer human. I appear to be in a spiritual form now?"

"Yes, you are currently in a spiritual form, but there are some differences compared to the souls I've seen. They usually exist in the form of light. You, however, are more like smoke. Also, you were previously a ghost sealed in the Dragonbone Anchorage."

Liszt shook the soul container in his hand, and the smoke from the teapot spout immediately trembled.

This affected the young woman’s entire body, causing her to quiver like ripples in water, but it didn’t cause her any discomfort.

She just stared blankly at the soul container, watching the smoke connected to her body.

Muttering to herself, "Dragonbone Anchorage... Dragonship... Truth... Magic Goat... Who am I... Who am I really?"

Dragonship?

Liszt's ears twitched at the new term. He guessed that this was the name of the ship that utilized the Dragonbone technology, a unique technique of the Magic Goat family—the Dragonship.

Hearing her mention the "Magic Goat" again, it was clear that she was indeed from the Magic Goat family. Liszt interrupted her troubled thoughts, "I can offer you a clue. The Dragonship should be a vessel uniquely mastered by the Magic Goat family. As for you, you might be a member of the Magic Goat family."

"I'm from the Magic Goat family?" The young woman seemed to have her memory stirred, but she couldn’t recall anything. "Do you know more information?"

Liszt raised his eyebrows. "Did you know Curtis Truth?"

"Curtis!" The young woman’s expression changed drastically, panic spreading across her face, her body made of smoke and light flickering. "It's her! It's her! Curtis Truth, that terrifying woman! She killed me! She massacred the 'Goat Gathering,' everyone who defied her orders was killed!"

Immediately after, she clutched her head and wailed in agony, "I... don't kill me... My name is Virginia... I was your sister... Don't kill me, Curtis..."

It wasn’t clear if it was due to excessive pain or if her time had simply run out.

She turned back into a wisp of smoke and returned to the soul storage container. When Liszt shook it, he could feel the liquid inside, but no matter how hard he tried, nothing would pour out.

He had no choice but to put the soul storage container into the gem space—living things would die quickly if placed in the gem space, but souls seemed to be different. The 36D spirit had remained stable in the gem space for a long time, so the soul storage container likely had a similar effect.

Back at the castle, he took out a thick parchment and wrote down the three snake text words: "Dragon Beast Sailing Ship," "Virginia Truth," and "Goat Assembly." "The Goat Assembly is probably an organization of magicians," Liszt thought, "and Virginia might be Curtis's sister. Perhaps she holds the technology for the Dragon Bone."

As for the old grudges and vendettas, Liszt no longer cared—it was just another melodramatic story of a woman twisted by love, bringing ruin to her own family.

Whether it was justice or evil, it had nothing to do with him. What mattered to him now was the Dragon Bone technology.

Encountering a sea monster in the vast ocean was rare, but if it happened, the Dragon Bone could release the dragon's power, significantly boosting their chances of survival.

…

Virginia Truth couldn’t be poured out of the soul storage container, and Cris Truth lay on the bed, unable to wake up.

By late May, summer had officially set in, bringing scorching heat.

Good news started pouring in.

First, the four Snake Blood Fruit plants produced spirit bugs that fell to the ground and, after biting Liszt's finger, became his contracted spirit bugs.

The four Snake Blood Fruit bugs were light white with a red stripe, very beautiful.

Liszt transported the Snake Blood Fruit plants to Black Horse Island, planting them in a newly reclaimed field—Snake Blood Fruit attracted snakes, but there were no venomous snakes on Black Horse Island, so there was no need to worry about attracting them. The only thing to be cautious of was not attracting sea snake-type sea monsters.

After the Snake Blood Fruit bugs, the Apple Bugs also successfully matured.

The Apple Tree, now a bug plant, grew robust and lush, producing small green apples that wouldn’t grow any further, regardless of the season.

Many small nobles, particularly, enjoyed searching for spirit bugs in the forest during winter. If they were lucky, they could find green bug plants among a large area of dead trees.

Of course, the probability was very low, as wild spirit bugs were sparsely distributed.

By winter on Black Horse Island, Marcus and others had searched several times but found no bug plants.

The light green Apple Bug was lying in Liszt's palm, looking plump like a piece of soft jade, fresh and dripping.

"I don’t plan to transplant this Apple Tree bug plant, so, Mr. Carter, please contact Officer Isaiah to transform the area around the castle into an apple orchard."

Butler Carter bowed and replied, "As you wish, my lord."
